19. Life, life, you have to live when you are born

Shi Dayong had to go to work after all. The night before, he sorted out a thick stack of missing persons notices and took them with him, thinking that he would look for his children whenever he had time. Wang Ying was not happy, but did not say a word, just

He lowered his head and kept copying missing persons notices.

"Alas..." Shi Dayong sighed: "Yingzi, don't be angry. I've searched all over here. If there were any clues, someone would have told us long ago. Captain Wang of the Public Security Bureau also said that they would keep searching

If we keep searching, we will definitely get results. Besides, it’s not like I’m not looking anymore, but we can’t keep searching in one place, right? No one knows where the child will be. I travel a lot and go to many places, so I can’t find the child’s whereabouts.

The hope is greater, what do you think?"

Wang Ying didn't even raise her head.

Shi An obediently sat on the bed and played with himself. When Shi Dayong saw Wang Ying ignoring him, he held An An in his arms and talked to An An: "An An, tell your mother that your sister will definitely come back."

Shi An's little head was a little bright, and he echoed his father in a milky voice: "I will definitely come back."

Ever since Coco was lost, Wang Ying has been a little superstitious, saying that children speak accurately, and An An said that if her sister can be found, she will definitely be found.

Wang Ying's face looked a little better. She raised her head and glanced at the two of them. After thinking for a moment, she got up and went to pack Shi Dayong's luggage. This trip would mean she wouldn't be home for ten days and a half. She had to prepare a change of clothes and other things.

Complete.

After Shi Dayong left, Wang Ying went out for a walk when he was tired of copying. If he saw missing missing persons notices on the roadside, he would replace them with a new one. He would also ask about anyone he met.

Time passed by unknowingly, and hope became more and more slim. Finally, after walking all over, Wang Ying never went out again. He continued to copy the missing person notice, but when he got tired of writing, he hugged An An and looked at the cliff not far away.

Fortunately, An An has a quiet personality and can be held by her mother, so she can entertain herself even without being held.

At the station, all colleagues heard about the loss of Shi Dayong's child. When they saw Shi Dayong, they all greeted him with concern: "Dayong, has the child been found?"

Shi Dayong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, I've searched everywhere I can find it, but there's no trust at all."

"What are you?" Wang Xinghua looked at the luggage in Shi Dayong's hand: "You're not looking for it?"

"Look! Until I find it!" Shi Dayong put the luggage on the bed, unzipped it, took out a stack of papers, and distributed a few pieces to each person: "Brothers and gentlemen, please help me and hand them out when we are on the way to the car to eat.

I’d like to thank everyone in advance.”

Zhang Bin took it and took a look. It turned out to be a missing person notice and said, "Brother Shi, you're welcome. It's not worth thanking you for this little thing. Didn't the police believe it?"

"No." Shi Dayong tore open a pack of cigarettes, scattered one cigarette each, and struck matches to light them one by one.

"Then if you come to work now, can you feel at ease at home?" Wang Xinghua asked, blowing out a smoke ring.

Shi Dayong forced a smile: "What can I do if I don't worry? I still have to make money and support my family."

Zhang Qiang sat on the bed, frowned, took a deep breath, and waited until he exhaled all the smoke in his lungs before speaking: "We all know the situation in Shi Dayong's family. How can his hometown still be affected by Dayong's children?"

If I lose it, why don’t I care about Dayong asking for money? At any rate, if we provide a subsidy of 4 yuan for a trip, I can earn dozens of yuan more a month."

Wang Xinghua said: "Dayong, I'm not talking about you, old brother. Speaking of the situation in your hometown, I'm worried about you. Of course, I, an outsider, say this is nothing to worry about, so don't be angry."

"How can I be angry? Brother Wang, you are also doing it for my own good. Just say it." Shi Dayong held a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. The rising green smoke made him unable to open his right eye. He half-squinted one eye and began to clean up.

luggage.

"It is said that brothers who work together can make a fortune. The brothers in your family can discuss together what they can do to make money to support the family. Even if they don't do anything, it is definitely wrong to plant the land in your hometown and harvest it.

No, how can you use your whole life? I think the way you raise them will breed lazy people. They only have one way, they will ask you for whatever they need. As time goes by, people will lose motivation.

It will be useless."

Shi Dayong crossed his legs on the bed, picked up the cigarette butt and flicked the ashes beside the bed: "I also know that I can't help it. I mentioned it to my father once. Do you know what my father said? At that time, he pointed out

People in a room full of people asked me: Boss, who among the people in this room should not spend your money? Point it out. You said I can say that those who are older and can support themselves should not spend my money.

There is a lot of land in my hometown. In the past, it was all owned by the brigade. Those who farmed the land only earned work points, and each work point only cost a few cents. At the end of the year, there was no money left in my hands. Although it is said that the household production quota will be guaranteed this year, I still don’t know

I understand what the situation is like. My parents are trying their best to save money for my brother to get a wife. To get a wife, he has to build a house, which requires money. So far, only the second child has been asked to get a wife, and the others have not been married.

There is no trace. If you have never been to my hometown, you don’t know. Every time I come home and see my parents eating, I feel sad. They have sweet potato noodles for one meal and sweet potato noodles for the next. My niece is so greedy with me

My mother said: Grandma, everyone eats dumplings, when will we be able to eat dumplings made with sweet potato noodles? Brother, look at it, sweet potato noodles dumplings are a good thing in my niece’s eyes. You know how dumplings are made in my hometown.

The fillings are all vegetarian. There is no meat, so just grate some carrots and put some vermicelli."

Shi Dayong talked for a while, saying that he was a little thirsty. He got out of bed, poured a large tank of water, and asked Wang Xinghua first: "Brother Wang, do you want some water?"

Wang Xinghua waved his hands and stood up: "I'm not thirsty, you can drink. Come on, it's time to eat. I'll leave first. It's really hard for every family to recite scriptures. Alas!" He sighed, shook his head, and went out with his hands behind his back.

went.

Zhang Qiang also stood up, looked at Shi Dayong sympathetically, and patted his shoulder with his right hand: "Alas!" He also sighed, shook his head, picked up the big rice bowl and went out.

Zhang Bin is the youngest among several people. He is in his early twenties. Usually everyone treats him as a little brother. At this time, he looked at the backs of his two eldest brothers and walked up to Shi Dayong, imitating Zhang Qiang.

He stretched out his right hand and patted Shi Dayong on the shoulder, and then sighed heavily: "Alas!" Then he shook his head greatly, put his hands behind his back, and walked out.

Shi Dayong laughed angrily at Zhang Bin's performance. He leaned over and picked up the shoes under the bed and threw them at Zhang Bin: "You naughty kid!"

Zhang Bin jumped out of the way of his shoes, smiled carelessly, picked up his lunch box and left.

After everyone left, Shi Dayong lay down on the bed and pulled the quilt over his face. Can he not worry? But no matter how worried he is, he has to live, live, live. You have to live when you are born. You can't stop living when you encounter difficulties.

Yes, they all say that big things and small things will be settled in due time. This is not the time yet, so just wait and pass by with a pinched eye. Things will eventually happen.

Shi Dayong lay down for a while, and his stomach rumbled, reminding him that it was time to eat. He sat up in annoyance, rubbed his face with his hands several times, hooked up his shoes, pulled them up, and picked them up.
