I felt relieved when I saw the empty medicine bowl on the bedside table.
He put the porridge on the table, picked up the medicine bowl, looked at his seriously ill mother worriedly, and warned: "Mommy, I cooked a lot of porridge, steamed steamed buns and put them in the refrigerator of Grandpa Zhao's house next door.
I have already paid for the electricity bill, and the food is enough for you to eat for half a month, and I will be back before then."
Song Chuman's eyes were extremely gentle, and he waved to her: "Come here, come to Mommy."
"Um."
Xiaoshi sat next to her obediently and put down the medicine bowl.
Song Chuman combed her black hair: "Xiao Shi, you must be careful when you go out. If you dress up as a man, don't let anyone know that you are a girl, otherwise you will be bullied. In this era, there are too many disgusting men.
"
Although mommy didn't explain it clearly, Xiaoshi already understood in her heart.
Children from poor families become parents early.
What's more, he has lived in such a dire slum for five years.
She nodded: "Don't worry, Mommy, I will protect myself."
"Besides..." At this point, Song Chuman's eyes were a bit reluctant, and he choked a little, and then said: "If you can live a good life in Bincheng, don't come back again."
"No!" Xiaoshi shook her head: "How can I leave mommy alone?"
Speaking of this, Xiaoshi felt a little sad: "It's because Xiaoshi is too young that Mommy has to work so hard. If Mommy was alone, she could obviously leave here, but she wasted her youth because of Xiaoshi, how could I leave her behind?"
Where is mommy?"
Hearing this, Song Chuman's eyes were a little moved, and he held her in his arms: "You are Mommy's good boy."
Xiaoshi felt her mother's embrace and felt very reluctant to part with her. This was the first time she had been separated from her mother for such a long time, and it would take such a long time.
However, my mother's illness cannot be delayed any longer.
She sat upright and said, "Mommy, it's getting late. I have to get on the last boat before dark."
"Um."
Xiaoshi put her schoolbag on her back, which contained a change of clothes and a photo of Song Chuman.
She looked back at Song Chuman and turned to leave.
Song Chuman looked at her small but strong back and frowned, with very complicated emotions.
She still remembered the first time Xiaoshi called her mommy.
At that time, she was severely depressed.
She wanted to strangle Xiaoshi to death.
Xiaoshi called her mommy in a sweet voice, giggling.
She relented.
Now, five years later, she is very clear about what she wants.
Her life has been ruined.
She will never be soft-hearted again.
…
Bincheng.
In the morning, the late autumn wind was very cold, and winter was approaching.
After Xiaozhou recovered from his illness, he went to school as usual.
Uncle Zhong, the Fu family's driver, dropped him at the school gate and left.
Xiaozhou watched Uncle Zhong turn around at the intersection and completely disappear from sight, then turned around and ran in the opposite direction of the school.
He logged into the game and saw Xiaoshi leaving a message for him.
"I'm in Bincheng. This is Fengdeng District, Section 3 of Changlin Road."
"Brother Xiaozhou... my phone is out of battery."
The first message was three hours ago.
The second message was from an hour ago.
Xiaozhou's expression changed and he immediately hailed a taxi.
I got into the car worriedly.
The driver smiled and asked: "Where are you going, kid?"
Xiaozhou found the map and handed it to him.
The driver turned around and drove quickly towards Changlin Road.
Xiaozhou could only pray in his heart.
Xiaoshi's brother is still waiting for him on Changlin Road.
