5. Go out

Uncle Mouse walked along with Meng Qingqing and played a choreography with Meng Qingqing, “Qingqing, your family is promising. Everyone reads very well. Your grandfather is also a man. You must confess your father and the four children. Your uncle was the first college student in the village. In the second year, your father was admitted to the university, but just a few days after your father received the acceptance letter, your grandfather was crushed while working in the gravel yard. It’s smashed to death. Like the conditions in our village, it’s very good to be able to provide for one person to go to school, for four people to go to school, your grandma is a woman’s house, what do you use to allow your father to shoulder the responsibility of your grandfather alone? When he got up, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to go to college and went out to work to support his elder brother and younger siblings to continue his schooling. I heard that your dad would do all the hard work and tiring work in order to make money. It’s not easy for my aunt to graduate from university. Your uncle is now working in the provincial capital, and your uncle and sister-in-law are working in the county. Their life is better, but your father is still working in the provincial capital, and you will never see you all year round. How many times have I suffered for your child.”

Although Meng Qingqing knew about the sacrifices her father had made for this family, but now speaking from Uncle Mouse again, Meng Qingqing was still sad after hearing it. She was sad for her father. She couldn’t imagine how much her father had eaten during those years of working and earning money. Suffering, in order to make money for his brothers and sisters to go to school, he must be desperate to do all kinds of work. Now, his brothers and sisters have graduated from college and set up a family, but his body is exhausted. What is even worse is that he does it. Give all the siblings, but after he left, shamelessly robbed him of his hard-earned property.

When Meng Qingqing thinks of this, she can’t help but feel sad for her father. His father has lived too hard in this life. Now he is sick. As the only daughter of his father, can she save his father. Will his fate change?

Uncle Mouse saw Meng Qingqing quietly wiping her tears, and stopped to comfort her and said, “Silly girl, you are a sensible child, and you will study hard in the future and be admitted to university so that your father can follow you to enjoy the blessing.”

“Uncle Mouse, have you seen my mother, what kind of person is she?” Every time Meng Qingqing mentioned her mother to her grandmother and father, they avoided talking, only saying that she was dead. The previous Meng Qingqing had nothing to do with her mother. Impressions, so I didn’t think deeply, but relived again. She had to think about some things carefully. She felt that grandma and dad’s attitude towards her mother was very abnormal. Even if they were dead, why didn’t they have her grave? When she mentioned her, the expressions of grandma and dad were unnatural. There must be a problem here. Uncle Mouse is one of the few good people in Meng Qingqing’s impression. She has a natural intimacy towards him. She hopes to know something about her mother from his mouth.

Uncle Mouse said: “Qingqing, I don’t know about this. I haven’t met your mother. It can be said that your mother has never been to Mengjia Village. After your father went to work for a year, your grandma said that your father met outside. A girl, they got married outside, said that the girl’s family disliked your father’s poor family, but they didn’t agree, they didn’t hold the wedding, and they joined together. After a year, your grandma went out for a month and hugged him when she came back. I told you that your mother died while giving birth to you. So no one in the village has seen your mother. Your father hasn’t looked for it in these years. If someone who is enthusiastic wants to introduce him, he doesn’t want to, and doesn’t know. What does he think, maybe he is afraid that you will be wronged.”

Mother is dead, why do they never look for her? Maybe they hate her because her arrival made them lose their daughter. Or they also hate their father, who had to pay for the tuition of his brothers and sisters under his conditions at that time. It is true that no one in the family wants to marry his daughter to him and suffer. Later, my mother died, so my father felt guilty and never looked for it again in these years. Is that right? Meng Qingqing analyzed it herself.

“Qingqing, I heard that your father bought a house in the provincial capital. If this is the case, you can go to the provincial capital to study. It is best to pick up your grandma. I think your grandma will not be easy in this life. Don’t look at her. Every child is promising, but I think only your father is reliable, and the other children, look at my mouth.”

The so-called bystander is clear, what Uncle Mouse said is the fact that all of these grandma’s children have lived a good life, but they still let grandma live in this remote and backward mountain village.

Meng Qingqing felt uncomfortable thinking about her father’s illness. She could not tell her grandmother, because she was afraid that she was anxious, and she could not tell other relatives that they had bad intentions. At this moment, Meng Qingqing really wanted to talk to this warm-hearted mouse. The uncle spit out, but she still resisted, “Uncle Mouse, my dad originally wanted to take my grandma and me out, but now he has encountered something in the provincial capital, so he put it aside for now. “

Uncle Mouse nodded, “This is fine, this is fine, it’s not that I look down on this place where I was born. The days here are really more bitter than the outside. The water flows to low places, and people go to high places.”

Meng Qingqing nodded in agreement, “It’s true, the conditions here are too bad. Life here is too bitter.”

Meng Qingqing and Uncle Mouse walked all the way to chat, and arrived in the town more than an hour later. After saying goodbye to Uncle Mouse, Meng Qingqing got on the bus bound for the county seat.

It has been more than three hours since waking up in the morning and sitting in the car before Meng Qingqing had time to carefully sort out her rebirth. Others have golden fingers when they are born again, but she didn’t notice any signs of golden fingers on her body. If there is no golden finger, she is just a very ordinary girl. Her rebirth cannot change much. Thinking of her father’s illness, her heart is heavy.

Thinking about it all the way, I arrived at the county seat. It was already noon. To transfer to the provincial capital, I had to take a bus for more than ten hours. Meng Qingqing went to eat a bowl of rice noodles and bought three steamed buns before arriving at the county seat. Stop buying tickets.

Meng Qingqing was anxious to be able to rush to the provincial city immediately to see his dad who was thinking about it, but today is the National Day, there are many people in the bus terminal, and they queued for a long time, and finally bought one to the provincial city. Ticket. The bus departs at 2:30 in the afternoon, so when the bus arrives in the provincial capital, it is just after four in the morning. It was still dark at that time. You can only wait for dawn in the waiting room before leaving.
