After leaving Wang's house, he traveled for two days and two nights relying on his little sister's water bag and corn tortillas, asking questions along the way before he found his cousin's address.

I thought I could ask my cousin to help find my parents, but I never thought that my cousin told me that the government had posted a notice about the portrait half a month ago asking people to claim it, and he helped to pick it up. The weather was too hot and the body couldn't be put there, so he brought it back and buried it in a hurry the same day.

.

He was completely dumbfounded and did not believe that his parents would leave him. Until his cousin found the portrait in the notice issued by the government that day, he became an orphan for a while. He was confused and confused, and was later taken in by his cousin to help in the drug store.
p>

My cousin, whom I had not seen for many years, got involved in gambling. Not only did he lose all the income from the drug store, but he also owed a lot of foreign debts. A few days ago, debt collectors came to the door with knives. My cousin promised to sell the drug store.

If you give them money, those talents will do nothing.

Originally he thought he was going to be homeless again, but he accidentally met his benefactor who came to sell medicinal materials. When he learned that his cousin's shop was for sale, his benefactor bought the shop directly. He saw that his cousin did not want to support him, so his benefactor

He said that if he was willing to stay, he would be provided with food, shelter and wages.

He has no other thoughts now, he just wants to work hard, help his benefactor run a good shop, and repay the grace of salvation.

Jiaojiao saw him suddenly crying, pursed her lips and didn't know how to comfort him, and secretly tugged on her father's robe with her little fleshy hands.

Wang Zhuangzhi was talking to Boss Song when he felt his daughter pulling him. When he looked back, he saw his daughter staring in the direction of Song Dong. He followed his gaze.

Song Dong in the corner of the door lowered his head, and could vaguely see the tears on his face. Wang Zhuangzhi understood what his daughter meant.

Boss Song opposite was still laughing and bragging about going to the capital to have a career. Wang Zhuangzhi stopped chatting with him and interrupted him: "Boss Song, let's sign the paperwork."

"Oh, okay, I have all the red mud ready."

Wang Zhuangzhi couldn't write, so he took a look at a thick king with a brush, then dipped his hand in red mud and made a fingerprint.

Boss Song also wrote and pressed his fingerprints, then took out the house deed that he had prepared early and handed it to Wang Zhuangzhi. He smiled and said: "Brother Wang, my shop is now in your hands."

Wang Zhuangzhi opened it and took a look at the house deed. When he saw the official seal at the bottom, he quickly took out nine 100-denominated banknotes and said with a smile: "I came in a hurry. I don't have any change. I'll give you the change, Boss Song."

”

The 500 taels that were packed in the house were considered whole, the 1,200 taels sold by the bracelet seller in the town were also whole, the 5,000 taels given by the restaurant owner were also whole, and the broken silver and copper plates on his body plus the 20 taels from the fish seller were also whole.

Two silver coins are only about forty taels, not enough for fifty taels.

Boss Song saw the banknote, rubbed his hands, picked it up, and said with a smile: "Oh, Brother Wang is such a happy person."

After counting, Boss Song felt a little embarrassed. He didn't have a total of two taels of silver in his pocket at the moment. He was busy packing things today and there were no customers in the store. How could he find him with fifty taels of silver?

Suddenly, he looked at Song Dong at the door, coughed lightly and said, "Brother Wang, you don't know something. Song Dong's father and I are distant relatives. Our two families have no contact with each other. I still have to arrange the funeral of his parents."

Yes, now that I have fallen into decline, I still owe hundreds of taels of foreign debt."

Wang Zhuangzhi didn't understand what he meant, so he waited for him to continue.

Boss Song let out a long sigh and said with a sad look on his face: "I don't have any money to look for you. This kid can do a lot of hard work now, so you can keep him as a waiter without giving him any money or food."

That’s fine.”

Wang Zhuangzhi was stunned when he heard what he said. This, his uncle is selling, where is the baby?

Song Dong at the door froze when he heard this. He guessed it was the same thing, but when his cousin said these words, he felt so uncomfortable that he turned around and ran outside with his fists clenched.

"Brother Song Dong."

Jiaojiao hurriedly put down the snacks, walked to the door and looked at the direction Song Dongli was running away. She turned around and looked at her father helplessly, "Dad, Brother Song Dong was so angry that he ran away."

"Good boy, dad will look for her later. He won't be far away." Wang Zhuangzhi was afraid that his daughter would run out too, so he stepped forward and picked her up.

He looked back at Boss Song, his face lost the politeness before, and said calmly: "Boss Song, since you want to sell Song Dong to me, I don't want the fifty taels of silver anymore, and you don't want to disturb him in the future.

”

Boss Song looked a little confused and made an excuse: "I can't protect myself now. The burial of his parents also cost a lot. Song Dong can't spend money on eating and drinking here these days. If I encounter difficulties, I will give him five

Ten taels of silver is not much."

After hearing these words, Wang Zhuangzhi did not answer the words, turned around and walked outside with Jiaojiao in his arms.

Seeing this, Boss Song didn't care so much. He happily held the banknote in his hand and went straight to the backyard to get the package.

After selling the drug store, he didn't even think about repaying the debt. He used the Polygonum multiflorum flower to bribe a boatman whose family had a seriously ill person, and rushed to the capital by water tonight, preparing to join his former lover.

The capital is so big, he doesn't believe these people can find him.

……

Wang Zhuangzhi held Jiaojiao and just walked out for a while when he saw Song Dong sitting under the tree and looking into the distance.

Jiaojiao secretly said to her father: "Brother Song Dong must be very sad when his family sells him."

Wang Zhuangzhi sighed after hearing this. He was also a poor child. His parents were gone, and now that his uncle was behaving like this, he was probably the only one who knew the pain in his heart.

Wang Zhuangzhi saw candied haws for sale in the distance, so he took Jiaojiao over and bought two bunches.

He handed one bunch to Jiaojiao, and he took the other bunch and walked over to Song Dong, handing the candied haws to his hand.

Song Dong saw a bunch of candied haws. When he looked up and saw that it was his benefactor, his nose suddenly became sore and tears fell down uncontrollably.

Two months ago, his parents bought him candied haws, but he didn't eat it because he thought it was too sweet. The picture was obviously still there, but why were his parents not there?

Wang Zhuangzhi put down Jiaojiao and walked over, patted his back and comforted him: "Son, your cousin is not worth the stress. You still have a long way to go in the future. We can live a long life with our own abilities."

Okay, from now on you can stay at Uncle Wang’s medicine shop with peace of mind. As long as Uncle Wang stays for one more day, no one will drive you away.”

Song Dong couldn't hold it back and threw himself into Wang Zhuangzhi's arms, sobbing.

Just two months, it seemed like a lifetime of suffering. He tried hard to control his emotions in front of outsiders.

At this moment, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Wang Zhuangzhi's eyes were a little wet, and he couldn't help but think of the feeling of bewilderment he felt when he was separated from his family and dragged his family to the earthen house. At least he still had a wife and children. Poor Song Dong had nothing.<

/p>

Wang Zhuangzhi couldn't help but feel the same. He hugged Song Dong and patted her comfortingly. He gently and gently advised: "It's okay. Don't be afraid. Uncle Wang will be your family in the future. If you have anything, just tell me."
