Three months of acquaintance with Mr.

The story can be traced back to the spring 15 years ago.

"You stay here obediently. Mom will definitely come to pick you up."

I didn't speak, just clutched my clothes tightly, gritted my teeth, and tried hard not to let my tears flow out.

"Aunt Wang, I will leave the child to you. Take care of this child Tao."

"Don't worry. There are a few honest boys like this. You can go quickly, and you won't be able to catch the car in a while."

"Aunt Wang, you take this money." The woman took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it out.

"Hey, you're out of business, aren't you? How can I take your money? It's not a big deal. Besides, it's not easy for you to take care of your children alone."

"Aunt Wang, I will be content if you can help me. You must accept the money."

"Okay, I'll save for the child, and I'll buy more for him when he talks about his wife."

"Okay. Ozawa, listen to Aunt Wang obediently. My mother is gone, say goodbye to my mother."

The boy didn't make a sound, just looked down at the cloth shoes on his feet.

Life in the orphanage is monotonous and boring.Every day is eating, being in a daze, and sleeping these three things.

I am the oldest of all the children.A 14 boy.

The children here are very sensible.They are very aware of what they have been through.

Whether it is the death of parents or being abandoned.

Whenever someone comes, they organize themselves to the best of their ability.Even if they don't have the slightest advantage.

A kid like me is a special one.

There are not too many boys in orphanages.

Because they will be adopted before they grow up.Those children who have no memory are extremely popular with others.

As for those boys who have memory and are approaching adulthood, they can also be adopted by families who are unable to work.

The vast majority of children are willing to go with their adopters.

After all, that is the only dream.Every child will smile and hug other children and bless other children before leaving, but it is unknown whether he will be happy afterwards.

The children have the naughtiness of this age and the "scheming" that is extremely inconsistent with their age.

Resources are limited.This means contention and contradiction.

Everyone tried their best to please Aunt Wang.Just for an old toy, a patched piece of clothing, or even a few extra grains of rice.

When donations are received, the dean will lead all the children to thank God, even if those things are small and enough to feed everyone.

I'm curious what all the kids were thinking as they watched those people leave.

Objectively speaking, every day there are people who don’t have enough food and clothing, and everyone just can’t die.

But who cares?After all, their parents don't care.

All people's childhood and life is dark.Education is far less than a bun for them.

When a girl reaches her age, she just finds someone to marry. After all, there is nothing to choose from a girl without a mother in an orphanage.

Boys are the worst.Those who have not left at this age can only be due to physical defects.

That was the first time we met.Aunt Wang introduced me to all the children before dinner.My identity is his cousin.

Everyone looked at me, an outsider.I glanced at them briefly, but didn't notice him standing behind him, still thin.

But I saw fear and restraint in the eyes of most of them.

Whether it is a 14-year-old boy with the ability to fight back or Aunt Wang's cousin is enough to scare them.

All the children behaved very well, at least most of them took the initiative to show their kindness to me.

Slowly I noticed a little boy who was always a loner.When all the children were playing around, only he was doing it quietly.

I sit quietly on a big tree in the yard every day.He sat under a tree and drew on the ground with a stick.

Occasionally, a few children come to make trouble for him, and he is not angry.

"Aze, come and give me a hand."

"Aunt Wang, do you know why he doesn't get along with the group?" I pointed to him under the tree.

Aunt Wang knew who I was talking about without even looking at my fingers.

"Hey, who knows? I haven't heard a word from him for so many years. But he is also a poor child. He was thrown into the snow after he was born. What a crime! It's really lucky that he didn't freeze to death The perpetrators of evil! Well, maybe this is fate..."

Haven't said a word for so many years?He must not be a mute.

Just in time for the festival, the dean asked Aunt Wang to distribute the sugar to the children.

"What kind of candy do you think these people give? It's a waste of money, it's better to give some practical things."

"Eat candy, eat candy..."

"Don't rob, don't rob. No one will rob again. Line up, four people, one candy."

Aunt Wang cut the sugar into four pieces with a knife.If you let the children divide by themselves, they will probably fight.

The children walked away after distributing the sweets, but I was kept by Aunt Wang.

"Aze." Aunt Wang put her hand into my pocket.

"Little dumb, hand over your candy."

"What kind of candy do dumb people eat?"

"Hand it over quickly, or I will kill you."

"Kill you."

……

The little guy clenched his hands tightly.Watching this group of children who are taller than him vigilantly.

"In his hands."

"What's the point of talking to him? Just grab it."

"Let's go together, this little mute won't complain anyway."

"What are you doing?" I came over and stopped me.

The children ran away when they heard my voice.

He was still standing there, looking at me warily.

The look I will always remember.His first reaction was not that I saved him, but that I and those people had the same purpose.

I didn't know what was wrong at the time, but I had to prove myself to him.Prove that I am sincere and not for profit.

I took a whole candy bar out of my pocket and handed it to him.

He ran away, and I froze in place.

This little dumb is pretty stupid.

Since then, the little dumb has become my little tail.No matter what I do, he follows me.

When he followed me to the bathroom, I finally couldn't take it anymore.

"What on earth are you going to do? I'm not your mother, why do you follow me every day." Besides, such a big child should have been weaned long ago.

Little Tail's eye sockets were red.In such a place, even crying is suppressed, and no one would let others cry to make others feel disgusted.

"You...don't be like this. Why are you crying? I didn't beat you. If you cry again, I'll really do it. "

Little Tail rubbed his eyes vigorously and hiccupped along the way.

"There's really nothing you can do about it. If you want to follow, just follow."

"I...my name is Song Yijin. What's your name, brother?"

"Yo, so I'm not dumb. My name is He Ze. You're younger than me, so you can't call me by my first name. Do you know if you want to call me brother?"

"Understood, brother Aze."

Little Tail is still isolated, but he has brother Aze to protect him.

A group of kids are playing with a deflated basketball in the yard.They kick the ball around, which is pretty much all their toys.

Little Tail still sat quietly on the side, watching eagerly.

"Are you eager to play?"

Little Tail shook his head.Brother Aze wants to play with them?

Clearly he drew a line.them and himself.

"I'm not going, childish or not?"

Little Tail smiled.

What a fool, so easy to coax.

"Brother Aze, you must be very good at football."

"of course."

"Brother Aze, what do you think the world outside the wall is like?"

The orphanage is surrounded by high walls.At least it was high for him who had never stepped out of the courtyard.

The world outside the door?hehe.In fact, I am no different from them.Everyone is abandoned.It's just that I have one more promise than others.As for when this promise can be fulfilled, I don't know.

Whether inside the wall or outside the wall.It's the same for me.

I ended up not answering his question either.

Little Tail is sick.

At night I heard him talking nonsense, and I touched his forehead with my hand.It's hot. He must have a fever.

Holding a kerosene lamp that might go out at any time, I found a rag, soaked it in water, put it on his forehead, and covered him with the quilt.I was careful not to wake others up.

"Ah...Brother Aze."

"I'm here, it's fine."

"I... I'm so cold."

"How about this, is it better?" I hugged him and covered him with two layers of quilts.

"Brother Aze, don't go, don't go."

It looks burnt out.

"It's okay, I won't leave. Even if I leave, I will take you with me. If I go out, I will buy you toys." I patted him lightly.

Little Tail didn't respond to me, probably fell asleep in a daze.

Since then, Little Tail has called me differently.

"Brother, good morning."

"Brother, there are birds nesting in that tree."

"Brother, look at the picture I drew."

……

The story can be as beautiful as a fairy tale, but the reality has twists and turns.

I don't know how long it took, but my biological mother came to pick me up.

I came by car, and there was a special driver.

"Oh, you're back. I'll call Ozawa." Aunt Wang was very happy.

"Ozawa, mom is back. Are you happy?"

I looked at the crowd and remained silent.The children were all crowded in the yard except him.

"Ozawa is so happy. You don't know how much he misses you after you leave." Aunt Wang tried her best to smooth things over.

"Come on, let mom see that you have grown so tall. Mom will take you home. Aunt Wang, since the dean is not here, you can help collect these things first."

She pulled me towards the door.

"Mom... can I take someone away?" I mustered up a lot of courage to say this.

"What nonsense is this kid talking about? Come, Mom will take you home."

"You let me go, I don't want to go with you. You go away." I shook off her hand.

Why are you staring blankly?She winked at the people around her.I was forced to take it to the car.

"Is this how you talk to your biological mother? Are you still angry with your mother? It's okay, it's your mother who has been sorry for you all these years. Mom promises that she will never abandon you in the future. Forget everything, okay?"

"No! I speak for you. Do you want me to forget about everyone in the orphanage?"

"Who taught you this?"

"Nobody taught me. You've changed, you weren't like this before."

"Hehe. He Ze, did I give birth to you to contradict me? Who am I working so hard for? Remember, I am not discussing with you. You are not qualified to challenge me yet."

"I see."

In this way, I left the northern town where I had stayed for 14 years.

In this way, she and I came to the south opposite to my hometown.

I was arranged to study in the best local school.Days will go on.

I found that there was often a person who came to the house.She explained to me that he was her boss.

I didn't care then.After all, I don't have the slightest affection for the violent father.Even happy with his sudden death.

I want someone to love her with me.I also don't want her to give up her own happiness for me.

I pretended not to know their relationship.

But then I stumbled upon that gentleman having a wife.He even blatantly answered his wife's phone at the dinner table.

I pretended not to know.

But after he left, I asked her loudly why she did this.I don't believe she didn't know he had a family.

"I know you can't hide this from you. Ze, do you know how long I've been away?"

"One year."

"One year and twenty-five days. Do you know how I got here during that time?"

"That shouldn't be your reason for doing this, it's disgraceful that you're doing it."

Snapped.She slapped me.I looked at her in disbelief.

She never hit me in memory.All my injuries came from that alcoholic father.

she cried.

After a long time, she rectified her mood.

"Things are as you see. But I tell you, every penny you spend now is mine. You can leave at any time after you have the ability. But now, you give me a good meal."

"Why? Why did you do this? Why did you leave in the first place? After he died, didn't we have a good life? Life is hard, but it won't always be like that. Mom, you and I go back .I support you. Really, I'm grown up, I can make money. Let's go astray, I'll pack up."

"Forget it, let's not pack up. Let's go now and take the train back to our hometown. No, we can go anywhere."

"Aze, is life not good now?"

"Okay. But I don't want all of this to depend on your body."

"Hahaha, my silly son. Remember, the most indispensable thing here is a beautiful girl. Do you think my mother looks good?"

"nice."

"Hurry up and eat, I'll take you somewhere after eating."

I was taken to a place.

I still can't forget those girls in their early 20s sitting on the ground like goods to be picked.

"Compared to them, my face is nothing. But do you know why they don't have a better life than me?"

A woman in her 30s who has given birth and worked for many years does not have much advantage at all.Even if she is really pretty.

"Because he loves you? If he loved you, he wouldn't let you be..."

"Love? He doesn't love anyone, including his wife. You can exchange your body for money, but other people also have bodies. I have come to this day because of my own ability."

"Then what is your reason for doing this? You can obviously live well on your own."

"Who will give me a chance? Is there any reason for me to let others give me a chance other than this face? Ozawa, never hope that others will help you without purpose. You have to fight for what you want by yourself."

"Do you know why I married him?"

This question still bothers me until now. I don't understand why she married a gambler, a drunkard, an animal in human skin.

"I was sold to his family. Also, I was not abducted, my biological parents sold me, and the price was clearly marked."

"I was just 18 years old that year, and I gave birth to you at the age of 19."

"Actually, I should have everything now."

"I didn't tell you that I was admitted to University A. But it was because I was a pot of water that would be thrown out of the house sooner or later. I didn't even touch the admission letter, and it was filled into the pit."

I was hit hard.Obviously when she was a child, she warned herself to study hard not to be like her.

"How come you never said anything about it?"

"What's there to say?" Let your own son sympathize with you?No need!

"These things now can only be regarded as lost and recovered. He wants me to work hard for him, and I want him to give me glory and wealth. Everyone just gets what they need."

"Mom, stop talking, stop it! Your happiness now is based on the pain of that lady, she is innocent. No matter what you do, you destroy other people's families. You have become the most hated of those people."

"Ozawa, I can't bear that kind of life."

"Mom, did you forget? He's dead! He fell into a ditch after being drunk and froze to death. God has eyes. No one will hit us again. And I'm grown up now, I can protect You. Besides, after he died, didn’t we survive on our own?”

"Aze, I don't want to live so tired. I don't care who I hurt. No one is sorry for me anyway. That's it, don't worry about it too much. It's better to bow your head in front of one person than to kowtow to everyone. If If I stop now, all previous efforts will be in vain." At least my son doesn't have to do this.

"There is no better way to live than this." What if you don't go back to your hometown?The whole world is the same.Since that day, I have been labeled as a widow with a Koff and a drag bottle.I will do my best to earn the best future for my Ozawa.

"Mom, I'm tired. Let's go back." Mom, you wait.I will take you away sooner or later.

It's a pity that my efforts are far from catching up with the accident.It was so, and it is so now.

After the college entrance examination, she personally cooked a meal for me.She is usually busy with work, and I don't even remember the last time he cooked.I also thought about practicing cooking hard to cook for her after the college entrance examination.

After eating, she said she went out to work overtime.She let me go to bed first, don't wait for her.

She never came back.

On the morning after the college entrance examination, I signed my own name on the place where the family members signed on the death notice.

Three days later, in the office.There is a simulated volunteer form waiting for school review on the teacher's desk.

The voluntary filling form only filled out the first choice.

At this time, I gently helped to remove the dust on her tombstone.

After a long time, where did I go back.where it all began.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Hello, is this an orphanage?"

"It was a long time ago, but now it's about to be demolished."

"And what about the children here?"

"I moved away earlier, and the government paid for it. Who are you? Ask this and that."

"I'm a child here, and I want to come back to see Aunt Wang and the dean. Are you?"

"Aunt Wang?" The old man didn't speak for a long time.

He waved to me. "You are late, I am his man."

The hibiscus tree in the yard was in bloom, and the white petals fell on my shoulders.

Mujin flower language - eternal and beautiful persistence.

Yijin - Reminiscing about the short-lived beauty.

Later, there was a young teaching assistant missing from the campus of University A.

Later, there was a gentleman who often went to the orphanage to play with the children.

Later, there was a gentleman who loved hibiscus flowers to the extreme.

Later, there was a gentleman who always placed three pairs of bowls and chopsticks when eating, and boasted how good his partner was when he met everyone.

Later, their souls stayed together forever.
