Chapter 439 Extra Story Two Lu Xiangdong [1]

The winter night is very cold, and the temperature in the north has dropped very low, so low that the white snow on the ground has not melted in the slightest.

A boy was wearing a large and ill-fitting cotton coat, sitting blankly in the small yard of his house, his eyes staring at the misty crescent moon in the sky.

"Son! Why are you still up so late!" A tall man walked in from the courtyard door, and when he saw the boy sitting in the courtyard, a smile appeared on his honest face, "Look, what did I bring you?" return!"

As he said that, the man raised the thing he was carrying in his hand and shook it in front of the boy.

"Candied haws!" When the boy saw it, he immediately jumped up and rushed towards it.

The man deliberately raised the object in his hand so that the child could not reach it. The boy jumped up and down. It took a long time for the man to feel that he had teased enough. He handed the bunch of candied haws to the child, and the boy took it and bit it firmly. Taking a big bite, the sugar-coated hawthorn pushed his cheeks up. The boy looked at his father chewing the food in his mouth with joy, and the man stroked the child's head. His eyes were full of love when he looked at his son.

A gust of cold wind blew away the original real picture, the boy wrapped his clothes a little tighter, rubbed his sore eyes, looked at the dark yard, and sighed deeply, his sigh was so It was long, with a desolation that was far from what he should have at his age.

The boy looked up at the crescent moon in the sky again. He didn't have a watch, and he didn't know what time it was. He only knew that his mother hadn't come back. Since his father's body was buried three weeks ago, his mother had been there almost every day. It's all like today, and I still don't know where I am very late.

In fact, since the day when the police came to the door and said that the father's car was found but the father was missing, the mother began to leave from time to time. At first, she slipped away quietly after the boy fell asleep, and later she turned into Cheng didn't wait for him to go to sleep, he hurriedly finished dinner and left.

The search and investigation of the father lasted for more than a year. During this year, the mother spent less and less time at home. Most of the time, when the boy opened his eyes in the morning, she was already gone. Back home after school, there are still only cold pots and stoves waiting for him at home, and the mother and son rarely see each other. The boy wants to ask his mother's whereabouts many times, but every time he opens his mouth, he will be scolded. , He was also timid and refused to speak.

How many nights, the boy lay alone on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, thinking and guessing over and over in his heart, where did his father go?Why did you even abandon the truck you drove?Will he also abandon himself and his mother?

Did the mother hide because she was afraid of seeing her own face and feeling sad?Because everyone said that he looked very energetic and absorbed all the advantages of his parents, but he was more like his father.

My mother must have missed my father, thinking so heartbreakingly, as if my whole body had been hollowed out, just like how he felt every day.

Three weeks ago, the police came again and told him and his mother that his father had been found.At that moment, the boy felt his throat was itchy, and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but the other party's next sentence sealed his laughter in his throat, there was no way Issued to.

My father died. The father who had divided duties for more than [-] years and supported his family by driving a long-distance truck, because of his good intentions, he was deceived by a liar. Not only was he robbed of all his goods, he also lost his life and threw his body In a desolate cave.

On the day of burying his father, the mother did not shed a single tear, and neither did the boy. He gritted his teeth, and there were deep tooth marks on his lips.

He secretly looked at his mother countless times, thinking in his heart that what his mother did was right, if his father could come back and see all this, he would definitely praise their mother and son for their strength, because since he was very young, his father Tell him, we are men, men don't cry easily.

Thinking of this, the boy's nose became sour, and the corners of his eyes became moist. He raised his head, stared at the night sky and blinked his eyes, trying hard to let the tears flow back into his eyes again, and never let half a tear wet his clothes.The cotton coat on his body was one of his father's favorites. He said that it was worn when he and his mother got married. He was reluctant to take it out and always folded it in the cabinet.

After his father died, almost everything that belonged to him was disposed of by his mother. The boy secretly left this cotton padded jacket while his mother was not paying attention. But when he thought that there was nothing around him that could prove the existence of his father, he felt a tearing pain in his heart.So he secretly hid the padded coat, carefully not letting his mother find out, for fear that it would accidentally hurt her heart.

Although his father is gone, there is still him. He will definitely work hard to grow up, rely on his own strength, and take good care of his mother.

My father once said that my mother is not an easy woman. Her husband travels long distances for almost half of the year, and she is left alone at home with her son. Therefore, both father and son must treat their mother very well. Well, come as compensation and reward.

Now that father is gone, let him bear the promise of happiness that father made to mother!

The boy sniffled and flinched a bit. The tears that were about to burst out just now consumed the little heat left in his body. He was not old enough, and the stove at home could not be used. When his mother was away, he was often surrounded by neighbors. She's aunt and aunt took her to eat at home. Unfortunately, when he came back from school today, he didn't meet the neighbors on the left and right. Although he was very hungry, the kitchen at home was empty, and he couldn't even see a mouse. , but his young self-esteem did not allow him to knock on the neighbor's door, just to beg for a meal to fill his stomach.

Tightening his body, the boy almost shrank into his father's old cotton-padded jacket. It seemed that his father's breath still remained on the cotton-padded jacket, which made him feel relieved for no reason in the cold winter night. Fell asleep against the wall.

I don't know how long it has passed, the boy was woken up by shaking, he opened his eyes in a daze, and felt that his face was so cold that he was about to become numb and unconscious. His mother was standing beside him, frowning at him.

"Mom, you're back!" When the boy saw his mother, he immediately jumped off the stone pier he was living on. He didn't know if he had been in the same position for too long. When he landed, his feet went limp and he almost fell to the ground.

Mother took a step back with an impatient look on her face.

"Could you save me some worry, kid?" She reprimanded displeasedly, "I've been dishonestly keeping you inside the house in the middle of the night, and you're going outside to be a monster!"

The boy flinched a little, and tightly clutched the hem of the cotton-padded jacket with both hands, for fear that his mother would be even more unhappy if he found out something.

The simple thing is that the mother didn't discover the secret of this cotton padded jacket, and she didn't even seem to notice how big and inappropriate it was on her son's body.

"Go back to the house and sleep!" The mother ordered, and the boy didn't dare to disobey, and hurried back to his room, got into the bed, rolled up his father's cotton coat, and hugged him in his arms.

The mother came back, which made the boy feel at ease, and the still silent home seemed to be a little more angry, so that he no longer felt so afraid.So, he gradually relaxed, buried his face in his father's old cotton coat, and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, when the boy opened his eyes, the sun had already risen high, and the sunlight shone on the window pane, making the icicle flowers shine brightly. According to past experience, the boy quickly realized that Come on, he's late!
He jumped out of bed in a hurry, quickly got dressed, and rushed out of the room with his schoolbag on his back. The boy unexpectedly saw his mother waiting for him in the living room.

"Xiang Dong, come here," the mother's face was rarely filled with joy, she waved to the boy, and pointed to the food on the table in front of her, "Mom specially made food for you, come and eat!"

"But... I'm late..." The boy hesitated. On the one hand, he knew that he should go to school as soon as possible, and on the other hand, his mother was rarely at home, which made him feel very nostalgic.

Mother waved her hand indifferently: "It's okay, I've already called to ask for leave for you, and I'll take you to see your grandpa and grandma later."

Hearing this, the boy immediately nodded happily, sat at the table and ate this rare and hearty breakfast.

He hasn't seen his grandparents for a long time. When his father was buried, his grandfather fell ill because he couldn't bear the shock of white-haired people sending black-haired people. Grandma could only take care of him at home. Only his uncle and aunt came to visit. Just leave in a hurry.

In the boy's impression, grandparents are very kind old people. Like his father, they do a lot and talk a little.

After breakfast, he happily left the house with his mother. Before leaving, he took a peek at his father's old coat under his quilt. For some reason, he felt a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart. Abandon.

Although the grandparents’ house is in the countryside, it’s not too far from the urban area. It only takes about four to ten minutes by commuter bus. It didn’t take long for the boy to follow his mother to the small courtyard of his grandparents.

With the help of grandma, the grandfather, who had just recovered from a serious illness, came all the way to the door. When he saw his young grandson, tears flickered in his eyes.

The mother left the boy alone in the yard, saying she and his grandparents had something to talk about.

The boy obediently agreed, and squatted in the yard to write and draw on the muddy ground with branches.

At this moment, the young Lu Xiangdong didn't know what kind of rough life he was about to face.
