warm and deep

Chapter 67
Min Rou was hurt all over, and he limped on the mountain road.He had nowhere to go and could only walk aimlessly forward.

When it was getting dark, the cold and hungry minced meat came to the town.At this time, the town was already very deserted, every house was closed, and laughter from the TV came from the house.

He walked forward slowly, walked out of the town, stepped on the main road leading to the county seat, and saw a radish field beside the road.

He shrank his neck, looked around, and saw no one, so he slipped in and bent over to pull out the carrot.However, the radish in this field was too big, and I pulled it out several times, but it didn't come out.

"Father, someone stole my radishes." A girl's voice came from the darkness, and then a man ran over shouting, picking up the minced meat like an eagle catching a chicken.

The minced meat was fluttering, and he yelled weakly: "I'm pulling it out for fun, not stealing, not stealing."

The yelling girl also ran over, and seeing the little thief flopping under his father's hands, she giggled and raised the flashlight in her hand to shine on the little thief's face.

"Minced meat!" The girl stopped laughing immediately, and she recognized the minced meat under the bright light.

When the man heard his daughter call out the thief's name, he stopped shaking the minced meat and asked, "Niuniu, do you know him?"

It turned out to be Huzi and his daughter Niuniu.

Niuniu shouted, "Dad, he's minced meat, he's not a thief."

"Minced meat? Why don't I know it?" Huzi said and put the minced meat down.

"He belongs to Mr. Guo's house. Last time you took me to Mr. Guo's house, he played with me."

Huzi said: "Ms. Guo is in Chengguan Primary School. I haven't even taken you to her house. You remember wrongly."

"No, it's Teacher Guo's home in Qingshi Village, that wooden house." Niuniu said.

Oh, Huzi remembered, this is Chunhua's son.That time when I took my wife to find Uncle Gu to treat his hand, this child even helped him plead with Liang Shi.

He said to the minced meat with some embarrassment: "My child, you have lost a lot of weight, and I didn't recognize you." He rubbed his hands, "I don't have a flashlight in my hand, so I can't see clearly."

Minrou opened a pair of round eyes, looking at the father and daughter in shock.

Niuniu had already pulled out the radish that had been minced from the ground, handed it to him, and said, "Eat it."

Min Rou looked at the radish, took it, turned around silently and walked forward without saying a word.

Niuniu shouted behind him: "Minced Meat, are you going home? I'll lend you my flashlight."

Min Rou didn't say a word, and continued to move forward.

Huzi caught up and said, "Child, how are you going so late? Come home quickly. I'll take you home."

Minrou cried: "If I don't go home, they beat me when I go home."

Only then did Hu Zi completely remember that the child's father is the current husband Shi Shi in a flowery dress in the village. During the day, he heard the villagers say that they abused the child.

Hu Zi thought for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he said, "Son, why don't you go to our house first, and I will go to your father and tell him that if he beats you again, Uncle will help you."

Niuniu immediately reached out to hold his hand and said, "Go to my house, I'll play with you."

Min Rou thought for a while, he had nowhere to go, if Dad and the others stopped beating him, of course it would be better to go back and follow Niu Niu.

When he arrived at Huzi's house, Mrs. Huzi quickly fetched a basin of water, cleaned the minced meat, and warmed up the food for him to eat.

Hu Zi asked his wife to stay at home to call the two children to sleep, and went out to find the stone by himself.

Niuniu fell asleep quickly, but minced meat couldn't fall asleep no matter what.He knew that Huzi had gone to find his father, but he still longed for his father to come and pick him up.

In the middle of the night, Minrou heard the door of Huzi's house squeak.He quickly stuck his head out of the bed and looked out the door nervously.

Huzi came in with a sigh, and said to his wife in a low voice: "Totou learns useless things, and he refuses to take back the minced meat."

"Then you didn't say that the child fell asleep on our bed?" the bearded wife asked in a low voice.

"I wanted to sound out his tone first, and then tell the truth. As a result, when he heard me mention the child, he said decisively that the child had been lost and could not be found, and now he was going to give birth to a second one." Hu Zi said again. A series of sighs.

When his wife heard this, she said angrily, "Leave it alone, you have no conscience." The woman thought for a while and asked, "Then what about this child?"

"Sleep first, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Huzi said and undressed and went to bed.

The wife was startled, shook her head, sighed, and went to bed too.

Minced Meat buried his head deeply in the bed, tears soon wetted his face.If my father didn't come to pick me up, I just went back, I'm afraid I would still be beaten out.

Where can I go?Minced Meat thought about it, but couldn't think of a place for him to settle down.

Just now I heard from Hu Zi that Mr. Guo is in Chengguan Primary School, in the city.He thought, go to the city tomorrow to find Teacher Guo, she might help me find a way.

As soon as it was dawn, the minced meat crept up quietly.He got off the bed softly, opened the door, and walked towards the main road.

Not far away, I saw Toyama's truck parked there, and many people were climbing onto the truck.He ran over quickly, climbed up, and got into the crack of people.

Arrived at the county seat.The adults got off the car in Yiwofeng, and Toyama was busy collecting money.Minced Meat slipped down from the car in a dirty state, and was about to run away. Fu Shan saw it sharply, stopped him, and asked, "Minced Meat, why are you dressed like this? Teacher Guo sent it to you last time." What about the new clothes?"

Min Rou was afraid to ask him for a ride, so he ran away without answering. Fu Shan grabbed him and said, "What are you running for? I didn't ask you for money. Let me tell you, Mr. Guo once asked me to bring clothes and shoes to him. You, I gave it to your mother with the flowery dress. When you go back, ask her for it, and it’s for you." Only then did Min Rou realize that the new clothes and shoes on her are actually her own.But what's the use of knowing.

He asked Toyama: "Where did you see Mr. Guo?"

Fu Shan said, "It's right here. Teacher Guo came looking for me with something."

Then Mr. Guo's school must be in this area.The minced meat ran away.

Looking at his back, Toyama shook his head and shouted, "Wait here at this intersection when you go back, I'll take you."

Minrou finally saw the gate of Chengguan Primary School. He happily ran over and was about to go in when the guard stopped him: "Hey, hey, kid, begging is not allowed in the school."

"I'm not begging, I'm looking for Teacher Guo."

The guard looked at him, thinking where did this little beggar come from, and he had a lot of ideas, so he said loudly: "There is no Mr. Guo here, let's go, let's go."

The guard rushed to the ground and stopped Minced Meat from the door, closed the door, and ignored him.

Minrou sat down opposite the school gate, staring at the school gate without blinking.I thought, as long as Teacher Guo appeared, I could see her, and she could see me too.

He waited for a whole day, and it was getting dark, but he never saw Mr. Guo.

Teacher Guo is really not here?Am I mistaken?Minced Meat remembered that Toyama's car had driven towards the city center. Is Mr. Guo's school in the city center?

Min Rou thought this way, and walked towards the center of the city again.

Actually, on this day, Guo Zisu went to the provincial capital for an exam.

The exam is held in the university, and it is said that those who are admitted will also come here to attend classes every Saturday and Sunday in the future.

She looked at the dark crowd on the playground and heard the people around them talking to each other. Many people came from provincial agencies, as well as local branches and sub-stations of the central government. Some of them had published a lot in major newspapers. Literary and artistic works, and some even published novels.I thought to myself, this is an exam full of talents, and it is not an exaggeration to say that thousands of horses are galloping and squeezing the single-plank bridge.And they are all good horses that won when they squeezed the bridge during the college entrance examination.

Forget it, I'm just a primary school teacher. Although I became a so-called propaganda worker by accident, I'm just a staff member of a primary school after all. Such a position is originally insignificant and dispensable.Don't take yourself too seriously either.Thinking of this, she walked into the examination room with ease.

In addition to testing some common sense of literary writing in the exam, the highlight is composition.

The composition is a self-made title, which requires contemporary life as the background, conceive a novel of less than [-] words, and reflect the author's understanding of life.

Guo Zisu pondered for a while, and began to describe with "spring flowers" as the theme.With the conception, the past events came to my mind, especially Chunhua's voice and smile.

As Guo Zisu wrote, two lines of tears fell down and wet the test paper.She didn't care about wiping at all, and still described the spring flowers in her heart selflessly.

"There are only 5 minutes until the end of the exam. Please check the test papers and get ready to hand in the papers." The invigilator reminded gently on the podium.

One after another, people around them handed in their papers and left.

Guo Zisu was still writing with tears streaming down her face.

The invigilator came over, tapped her desktop lightly with his fingers, and said kindly: "Submit the paper, if you keep crying, all the written words will be soaked into a black ball, and it will be written in vain."

Guo Zisu ended in a hurry, bowed her head and walked out of the classroom.

As soon as she left the examination room, she quickly rushed to the bathroom, threw herself on the sink and burst into tears.

Reporter Wang called and asked her how she was doing in the exam with concern, and she said, "It's not that bad."

Reporter Wang laughed and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, it's better if you don't pass the exam, so you don't have to go to the province every weekend, which is very tiring."

Guo Zisu didn't say a word.

Reporter Wang asked her when she would come back. She said that she wanted to spend a day in the provincial capital and go back tomorrow afternoon.

Reporter Wang said: "Okay, Zisu, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are the Ching Ming holiday. I will go back to my hometown with my parents to visit the grave. If you have nothing to do these two days, go to the beauty salon opened by me and Yu Ping. I have already said hello and give you the best." care."

Guo Zisu agreed.I thought to myself, I also have to go to Sister Chunhua's grave, the minced meat is still young, and she has no other relatives.
