3. Carrying water

“Your father is busy with work and has no time to play with you. Let me talk about what you are going to do. How can you go as a child?” Meng Qingqing had never been to a provincial capital before, let alone how she went as a child alone.

Dad must have been lying in the hospital by this time, but grandma’s words showed that she did not know that Dad was sick. In the previous life, she and grandma only knew that his father had been sick for a long time after his father died. The uncle and the uncle are hiding from themselves and grandma. On the surface, they don’t want them to worry about it. In fact, I’m afraid that they are afraid that they know from their father that their father has the property, and they can’t let them take the property for granted, so they conceal them, no Let them go see dad

Meng Qingqing thought, she must go to see her father anyway, maybe her rebirth can change her father’s destiny, and let her father not leave them so early. Grandma won’t be too sad to leave after his father has gone for half a year.

Thinking of those things in the previous life, Meng Qingqing couldn’t help tears in her eyes, “Grandma, I miss my father, I want to see him, if you don’t worry about me, let’s go see him together”

Grandma hurriedly wiped her tears, “Good Qinger, don’t cry, hey, your father, too, said that when you were in junior high school, he took you and me to the provincial capital. Now you are in junior high school, he suddenly said he was busy with work. I’ll talk about it later, at the end of the year, you won’t see your father several times. What a poor child.”

Meng Qingqing cried even more sadly. Grandma said distressedly: “Well, later you go to the village office to call your father. If he is not too busy these days, you can visit him and let your uncle send you. Go. So is your uncle. Their work should also be on holiday, and they won’t come back to see my old woman. If you married a wife and forgot your mother, so is your sister. They won’t come back after marriage. Also, they live in the county town. It’s so good, in this poor valley, there is dust all over the place, and the road is not easy to walk.”

Meng Qingqing interrupted grandma’s nagging, “Grandma, where is the phone number of Dad?”

“You girl, didn’t you write it down on the wall calendar in your room by yourself? How could your memory this morning be so bad, so forgetful at such a young age, not as good as my old lady”

Meng Qingqing ran back to her room, and sure enough, found her father’s phone number on the wall calendar. Meng Qingqing recorded the phone number in her hand, and silently remembered it in her heart.

The grandmother said: “It’s not seven o’clock now, and the village office will open the door after eight o’clock. You can bring some water. I will cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat before going.”

Two thousand years, the outside world is changing with each passing day, and there are modern buildings everywhere, but the Mengjia Village where I live is still so backward. It has been like a day for decades and has not changed at all. Every family is a soil house, and they have to go to drink water. Pick it from the pond at the entrance of the village. The water in the pond is rainwater, and then filtered water. If the weather is dry for a long time without rain, drinking water is a problem. No wonder the girls in the village want to marry outside, and those who go out to work are not willing to come back. This village is deep in the mountains. Drinking water is a problem for people, not to mention crops. The harvest depends on God. Mengjia Village can be said to be the poorest village in the entire county. I don’t know why the old ancestors chose such a remote place to settle down.

Meng Qingqing carried the bucket and walked towards the pool.

There are several women washing clothes by the pool. Aunt Wang, Meng Zhaodi’s mother, who goes to school with Meng Qingqing, is also there. Because Meng Zhaodi and Meng Qingqing are in the same class from elementary school to junior high school, and they are in the same village, so they both naturally Come together, the relationship is relatively good.

Aunt Wang said, “Qingqing, I heard that your father has made a fortune outside and wants to take you to the provincial capital to go to school. Why has it been more than a month since school and he still won’t come and pick you up?

In Meng Qingqing’s family, her uncle, uncle, and sister-in-law have all gone to college and worked outside, so in the eyes of the people of Meng’s family, the whole family is promising. The villagers are envious and jealous. People like this are often heard. After that, Meng Qingqing smiled and passed away. She never took the words of the villagers to her heart, because she never carefully understood the meaning of those words, but after a lifetime, Meng Qingqing was not the mind of a twelve-year-old girl. , She heard the ridicule in Wang’s words.

Meng Qingqing said faintly: “My dad is temporarily delayed. I will go to school in the provincial capital next semester.”

Meng Qingqing is not talking big, she knows that her father has a house in the provincial capital, she will definitely go to school in the provincial capital, but this semester is impossible, the most important thing is to save her father.

“I won’t change my mind this time, right? I said that you went to school in the provincial capital when you were in junior high school. It’s been half a year. Now I’m talking about the next semester.”

Meng Qingqing bent over to fill up the water, and flickered while walking outside and said: “My father has bought a house in the provincial capital, and sooner or later I will go to school in the provincial capital.” There was a cry of exclamation. When the provincial capital bought a house, Meng Zijun really made a fortune.”

Meng Qingqing knew that within half an hour, this matter would spread throughout the village. She wanted to let the villagers know that Dad bought a house in the provincial capital. In this way, I saw the uncle’s idea of ​​dare to play that house. .

Meng Qingqing took the water home and poured it into the stone tank in the kitchen, and then went to pick it again. She decided to go to the provincial capital to find her father and take care of her father. She might not be back for a long time. She wanted to fill the water tank with water, grandma. It’s not easy for a person at home. In this world, except for father, grandma treats her best.

She was born again at this time, and her heart was both joyful and heavy. The joy is that she can start again and see her grandma and father again. She is not alone and alone. What is heavy is that her father only has more than one month. Her rebirth changed the trajectory of fate, but she was afraid that she still could not change anything, and still could not hold her father’s hand. Grandma’s death is still half a year later. She didn’t know if it could be changed.

When Meng Qingqing went to the pond for the second time, she felt that the atmosphere was a bit unusual. Aunt Wang turned her head angrily to ignore her when she saw her. While beating her clothes hard, she was talking to others. She was like Meng Qingqing. It’s like having grudges.

Meng Qingqing knew that her previous words made her jealous. Every time she took an exam, Meng Qingqing scored higher than Meng Zhaodi’s. Aunt Wang always had this expression. She suddenly ignored Meng Qingqing, or was irritating to her. A few days later, she saw Meng Qingqing is extremely enthusiastic about her again, because the school is in the town, more than 30 kilometers away from the village, and only the two girls in the village go to junior high school, so Meng Qingqing cannot be so erratic because of Meng Zhaodi’s mother. Meng Zhaodi’s mother doesn’t interact with Meng Zhaodi, and Meng Zhaodi’s mother is like that. Although she is jealous that Meng Qingqing often overwhelms her daughter in her studies, she does not want her daughter to fall out with Meng Qingqing. What
