Chapter 60 Solitary
Shi Shi took the 150 yuan and dragged the minced meat to the oilcloth shed to clean things up.

In fact, there is nothing inside, just a bed made of wood, and the bedding on the bed is also worn out.

Hua Changqun moved out of the burnt plastic box under the bed and opened it.

Minrou watched from the side, and said softly, "This is the shoe my mother made for me."

Hua Changqun picked up a pair of shoes, threw them into the wet and dirty soil resentfully, and said, "Damn woman, so what if you make the most shoes, I'd better go to sleep in the loess."

Minrou walked over, picked up the pair of shoes, and held them in his arms.

Hua Changqun picked up a few more pairs of shoes, looked at them, and said to Shitou, "I think these pairs fit Nannan's feet. This kid can't wear so much. Take them back and wear them for Nannan."

Stone packed the shoes into a woven bag he brought.

Minced Meat walked up to Dad and said, "Give me the shoes Mom made."

Shi Shi glanced at him, said nothing, and lowered his head to organize his things.

The Minced Meat said again: "Give me the shoes my mother made."

Shitou said without raising his head, "What are you shouting about? We will take all your things away from now on. Otherwise, what are you going to wear when you go there?"

Hua Changqun cast a sideways glance at Shishi and said, "Are you really going to take him? Do you think he will submit to my discipline?"

"Why is he dissatisfied?" Shi Shi grabbed the minced meat, kicked him to kneel in front of the flowery dress, and said, "Tell Mommy I'm sorry. Otherwise, we don't want you anymore."

Min Rou thought to himself, if you don’t want it, you don’t want it. I stay here and I can often visit my mother’s grave.You can also wait until Teacher Guo comes.He didn't say anything.

"Look, I'll just say it, look at how cheap he is. It's annoying to look at."

Shi Shi slapped Minced Meat again, grabbed his ear and cursed, "Can you save me some trouble? Say sorry to mom, or I'll kill you."

The minced meat burst into tears in pain, and the stone slapped down again, saying fiercely, "Say it!"

"I'm sorry!" Min Rou said those three words vaguely, and tears fell like beads of broken money.

Hua Changqun sneered and said, "Bitch, you really have to fight to know the depth."

After clearing the things, they asked the minced meat to wait in the shed, and then went to the village to issue a certificate.

Min Rou watched his father carry away the pairs of shoes his mother made, and felt as if a knife was piercing his heart.Seeing that they were far away, he ran to find Master Bone.

"Master, my dad and the others took several pairs of shoes that my mother made for me." Min Rou said out of breath when he saw Uncle Bone.

Uncle Bone stopped his work, asked about the situation carefully, and said, "Son, your father may be planning to take you to the new mother's place, so you have to take your things with you as well. When you get there, they still have to dress you."

"But I heard that the flowery dress was said to be worn by her daughter-in-law." Min Rou said anxiously.

Uncle Bone let out a long sigh, touched Minrou's head, and said with a sad expression: "Son, you are your father's son, what happens to him, we others can't interfere. Even if you wear two pairs for your daughter, it's fine. You Mom made a lot, enough for you to wear."

Minced Meat knew in his heart that no one could help him, so he walked back disappointed, and walked slowly towards his mother's grave on the mountain.Mother, why did you abandon your child, what should I do when I am alone?
The latest issue of the county newspaper came out, and a press release and an essay by Guo Zisu were impressively published on it.

Reporter Wang was very happy after seeing it, and called her to praise her greatly, hoping that she would continue to work hard.

Reporter Wang also said that her prose is full of aura, which makes her comfortable and pleasant to read.I think she can develop well in literature.

Guo Zisu is also very happy. Although it is just a small county newspaper, it is also a good start. Anyway, I have time, so I practice writing more to pass the lonely time.

After reading the prose written by Guo Zisu, Minister Feng said to her with a smile: "Xiao Guo, the writing is not bad."

Guo Zisu smiled shyly, and said, "I'm also writing nonsense. If you are a surgeon, you will be much better than me."

Minister Feng took a sip of coffee, and said leisurely: "That's not the case. At my age, life is less romantic and passionate. Without the experience of grasping the heart, how can you write words that grasp the heart. Hurry up Write more while you are young."

Guo Zisu heard this and said, "I'm stupid. Although I have passion, I lack methods. I think good writing requires methods and skills."

"That's right." Director Feng smiled and said, "Next week, the school will send someone to attend the correspondent training class organized by the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee. This spot is for you."

"Really? Are you going by yourself?" Guo Zisu almost couldn't believe that such a good thing happened to him?
Minister Feng took a sip of his coffee, nodded with a smile, "You are a newcomer, it's good to go and listen. I've been there a few times before, and it's useless to listen to it. It's just those few teachers who go back and forth."

Guo Zisu was so happy, she stood up from her desk, couldn't restrain her excitement and wanted to tell Liang Shi about it.He walked to the corridor, thought for a while, held back, and walked back to his desk.

Minister Feng watched her go out and come back, and said with a smile, "I'm glad you are. You are going for a week this time, and you don't have to worry about eating and lodging there. It's just that if you have something to do here, you should arrange it in advance. "

Guo Zisu immediately thought of minced meat.I have never had time to look for the stone, and I don't know if he went to pay the child's tuition.Also, he goes to school every day, and Chinese food can be eaten at school, but as for breakfast and dinner, the child is growing up, so he cannot be allowed to eat those dirty and cold leftovers for a long time, or he will cause problems.

After work, Guo Zisu decided to make a phone call to Qingshi Village and talk to Shitou about the child.

She called the canteen and asked the boss to call Shitou to answer the phone.The boss told her that Shitou and Hua Changqun had already obtained a marriage certificate, they were married, and they were no longer living in Qingshi Village.

When Guo Zisu heard this, her heart felt cold for a while, and she asked, "Where's the minced meat? Did he take the child with him?"

The boss said that he said he was going to bring the child there, maybe there are still some things that haven't been done, and the child is still living in the shed for the time being.

Poor Min Rou, how hard it must have been for him to be alone in that shed as a little child.Guo Zisu thought, when he came back from the city, he must visit him.

At this moment, the owner of the canteen just saw the minced meat passing by, and immediately said: "Mr. Guo, that kid is just here. I'll ask him to answer the phone."

Guo Zisu clenched the phone tightly, waiting intently for the sound of the minced meat.

The sound of his sniffing came first from the receiver.Guo Zisu remembered that Chunhua once told her that minced meat didn't wear a hat during confinement, as long as she caught cold, she would have a runny nose.She felt sad again, if Chunhua was still there, the child must have grown up healthily, and these problems would not recur at all.

The voice of the owner of the commissary pointing to Minced Meat to answer the phone came from the receiver, and then she heard a voice with a strong nasal voice: "Ms. Guo."

Guo Zisu quickly agreed: "Minced meat, are you okay? Do you still have money for lunch?"

"The money was taken away by my father, and he forbade me to study here." Min Rou whimpered and began to cry.

This is news that Guo Zisu never dreamed of.The child dropped out of school, and what was even more hateful was that his biological father took away the lunch money that was given to the child by others.She was so angry that her heart was pounding, and she almost cursed out loud.

"Mr. Guo, Dad took my shoes to the girl in the flower dress." Min Rou was thinking about the shoes his mother made for him. They were left for him by his mother, and of course he didn't want to give them to others.It would be great if Teacher Guo could help him get back.

"Is it the shoes my mother put in the plastic box?" Guo Zisu asked.

"Yes, the flowery dress was turned out, and they said that there were a few pairs that my daughter could wear, so they took them away." Min Rou said while crying.

Guo Zisu yelled in his heart that stones are not things, but what can he do at this moment?She asked Min Rou: "Then do you still have shoes for yourself?"

"I wear a pair of shoes on my feet, and the others are too big to wear." Min Rou said, crying sadly, because he really hoped that Guo Zisu would help him get back those pairs of shoes, and then continued: " If this pair is rotten on my feet, I won't have any shoes to wear."

"You have shoes to wear, minced meat, I'll go to the mall to buy you a new pair of shoes in a while." Guo Zisu told him: "Don't think about the shoes they took away. Tomorrow you still go to school first, I'll call the principal right away, and I'll come back to pay your tuition soon. You must continue to study, do you hear me?"

"heard it."

Guo Zisu hung up the phone, and while walking to the mall, he called the principal of Qingshi Village Primary School.He said that when he came back from the city, he would immediately pay the tuition fee for Minced Meat, and asked them to let him follow the class first.

The principal told Guo Zisu about Shitou's last tuition refund, and said, "Mr. Guo, didn't he refund you the money last time? He kept saying that he would refund your favor."

Guo Zisu smiled wryly and said, "Principal, what kind of favor do I want from him. Minced Meat is a pitiful kid, let him go to class."

The principal said: "Okay, as long as he comes to school tomorrow, we will let him follow the class and find a set of old textbooks for him to use."

Guo Zisu thanked the principal, picked out a pair of sneakers with flashing lights under his feet in the shopping mall, and bought two sets of cotton underwear and a coat.She stuffed some change in the inner pocket of her clothes, and asked the merchant for a bag to put it in.Paste the note with the name of the minced meat on the outside of the bag in a conspicuous place, and go straight to the county town to wait for Toyama at the intersection in the town.

Toyama brought the bag back to the town, and happened to meet Hua Changqun. He only knew that Hua Changqun was Shitou's wife, but he didn't know that this woman didn't treat Shitou's child well.He handed the bag to her without any hassle, and said, "This is from Teacher Guo, who used to teach in Qingshi Village. There are shoes and clothes for the children in it. You can take it."

The flowery dress took the bag, walked to a secluded place, opened the bag to look at the clothes inside, took out the money and stuffed it into her pocket, and then tore up the paper sticking to the bag.

When she got home, she happily said to her daughter, "Ninny, come on, let's see what mom bought for you."

Seeing the beautiful clothes and shoes brought out by the flowery dress, Nannie jumped up and down happily.
