After He Jingtian finished recording his confession, he was about to take He's mother away when he was told by the police: "My wife is a reporter. He heard about your story and wanted to do an interview!"
Interview?
Well, these days, there is no Internet, let alone self-media. It is basically government media such as newspapers and television.
If it can be reported by the state media and the content is positive, he can gain a good reputation.
It will also be a plus when I am assigned a job next year after I graduate from college.
"Thank you, comrade policeman!"
He Jingtian saw the goodwill shining in the policeman's eyes, bowed deeply and sincerely thanked him.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I feel pity for you mother and son. Besides, you did us a big favor by arresting two human traffickers!"
When the policeman saw He Jingtian looking so grateful, he felt very happy.
He didn't help He Jingtian out of repayment, but it would be better to meet someone who appreciates it than to be a wolf with white eyes.
Moreover, seeing He Jingtian being so sincere, some of the bad suspicions the police had about him disappeared.
Such a polite and affectionate young man should not be an unfilial son who abandoned his own mother!
After He Jingtian thanked him, while waiting for the reporter to arrive, he first asked the police at the police station for some hot water, and then took the aluminum lunch box he brought with him to make a pack of instant noodles.
"Mom, you can eat it!"
He Jingtian did not eat by himself, but placed the lunch box in front of He's mother.
He's mother had been starving for a long time. She smelled the unique fragrance of the three delicacies noodles and her saliva was secreted.
Taking the chopsticks handed over by her son, Mother He did her best to shovel the noodles into her mouth, regardless of burning her mouth.
Halfway through the meal, there was no burning hunger in her stomach. He mother seemed to have thought of something, pushed the lunch box in front of He Jingtian, and timidly said: "Xiaotian, you eat!"
As a mother, Mother He certainly wants to be close to her son.
But she also knew in her heart that her son did not like her and even hated her very much. She did not dare to have too much contact with her son.
In fact, not only her son, but also her husband and mother-in-law.
In the early years, He's mother had a time when she was sober and knew that she had given birth to a son. Her maternal instinct, coupled with her brief sobriety, made her want to take good care of her son.
However, the mother-in-law deliberately separated mother and son, and taught her son in front of her: "Ignore her! She is a lunatic!"
Mother He felt sad and stimulated, and her mind became even more confused.
Later, my mother-in-law died, but my son grew up.
Every time she saw her son, Mother He could always see disgust and disgust in his eyes.
Mother He's heart hurt as if being pricked by a needle.
Sometimes, she doesn't even want to wake up - it doesn't matter if she is crazy, she doesn't know anything, and she won't be in so much pain!
Maybe she gave up on herself, or maybe her madness lasted too long. In recent years, He's mother has become worse and worse.
She almost doesn't recognize anyone and can't take care of herself, especially since her man beats her.
Already unconscious due to fright, and living in the shadow of violence all day long, He's mother's condition became more and more serious.
However, no matter how crazy she is, she always remembers deep down in her heart: I have a son, his name is Xiaotian! I am a mother, and I cannot embarrass my son, let alone delay him.
It was this knowledge deep in her heart that made her instinctively rely on her son and miss him.
She was busy eating just now because she was too hungry and had just fallen ill.
Halfway through the meal, she was not so hungry, and the surrounding environment was no longer noisy and chaotic. Mother He's heart slowly calmed down, and she could think of her son.
"Mom, I'm not hungry, you eat first!"
He Jingtian didn't lie. After leaving his mother at the station just now, when he left the station, he bought a few tea eggs and two steamed buns on the platform.
Finally throwing away the biggest burden, He Jingtian relaxed physically and mentally, and ate happily.
After that, He Jingtian got off the train again, caught the train again, and caught two traffickers by the way. It was really a struggle and consumed a lot of energy.
However, He Jingtian was still not too hungry.
Besides, He Jingtian's inner conscience made him embarrassed to eat when he saw his biological mother surviving such a calamity.
Alas, he almost got his mother into the hands of human traffickers.
How can such a creature that is inferior to a beast have the dignity to eat?
You deserve to starve to death.
He Jingtian:……
I feel like I really have a split personality. There is always a voice in my mind that is mercilessly and unscrupulously spurning and insulting me!
Obviously that voice belongs to him, He Jingtian, but why do you look down on yourself so much?
If there wasn't anyone around to speak, or if the voice wasn't so familiar, He Jingtian would have mistakenly thought that someone around him was scolding him!
He Jingtian felt that he was about to become a snake, but he did not dare to have any objections.
Even if you don't feel like it, you must act according to the voice in your heart.
I was afraid that if I angered that voice, there would be consequences that I couldn't control.
He was scared, he was really scared. Although there was no reason, he just felt that the sound made him feel afraid and afraid!
Enduring the pain, I made instant noodles for my mother, which I usually couldn't bear to eat. I also pretended to be filial and well-behaved, and asked diligently: "Mom, do you eat tea eggs? I still have tea eggs here!"
"
He's mother is suffering from madness and her mind is not normal. Her words and deeds are more based on instinct.
When you are hungry, just eat!
If you are greedy, just say it!
Being able to give half of your own food to your son is already a sign of the radiance of natural motherhood.
When her son said "I'm not hungry" and asked her if she wanted to eat tea eggs, Mother He believed her and nodded obediently, "I want to eat!"
She hasn't eaten tea eggs yet, but they should be delicious. When her son mentioned "tea eggs", he was salivating.
He Jingtian:……
Enduring the pain again, I took out an oil paper bag from my satchel, took out the only remaining tea egg, knocked it on the table, peeled off the skin, and then put the amber-textured boiled egg into the lunch box.
Mother He quickly stuck the tea eggs with chopsticks and ate them happily.
While eating, he shouted excitedly like a child, "It's delicious! Xiaotian, this tea egg is so delicious, I want to eat it again!"
He Jingtian no longer had the energy to feel distressed. He accompanied Smiley and coaxed his mother angrily, "This is the last one. I will buy it for you when I go to the station later!"
Although Mother He's words and deeds seemed unusual, she was not a troublemaker.
Hearing that his son said he didn't have any, but would buy it for her, he was immediately satisfied. With a smile on his lips, he continued to eat noodles and eggs happily.
He Jingtian sat next to him and saw that his mother's hair was a little messy and there was some dust on her face.
He asked the police for some more hot water, took out his usual towel from his backpack, wetted it, and wiped and cleaned his mother bit by bit.
The policeman's wife, a newspaper reporter working at the county communication station, stepped in the door and looked up to see this heartwarming picture——
Under the warm and bright sunshine in the afternoon, a handsome and gentle young boy, holding a towel, carefully wiped the face, mouth and combed the hair of the old woman next to him.
His meticulous appearance and pious expression really make people feel moved after seeing him.
Click!
Acting on professional instinct, the reporter quickly picked up the camera and captured this warm and beautiful picture!
"Take your mom to college!"
A noble boy from a poor family who passed the examination in a remote mountainous area;
I was admitted to S University, the best university in the province, and I ranked among the best in the exams every year. I actively participated in various activities of the school community!
My father is a disabled person and passed away unexpectedly. My mother is mentally ill and cannot take care of herself. There is no one in my hometown to help take care of her.
This college student with excellent academic performance brought his mother to the provincial capital to take care of her while studying in college!
...Every piece of information above can touch the softest part of ordinary people's hearts.
And He Jingtian, a contemporary young college student with outstanding appearance and talent, actually took advantage of them all.
Alas, reporters are also well-informed people, but after listening to He Jingtian's story and seeing his clear and bright eyes, and the patience and tenderness he showed in treating his mother who was suffering from madness, I was immediately moved.
She has a very good impression of He Jingtian, and the words she writes are particularly vivid and touching. Of course, they are all biased towards He Jingtian!
"...The article has been written, but I'm not sure when it will be published in the newspaper!"
The reporter chatted with He Jingtian for a while, and she found that this young college student was well-spoken and well-controlled. Although he was young and had not yet stepped out of society, he had an open-minded, broad-minded mind and vision.
No matter what topic the reporter talks about, He Jingtian can pick it up and talk about it in an orderly and well-founded way.
With knowledge, vision, and a big heart, although it is more difficult now, the reporter believes that outstanding talents like He Jingtian will have a bright future.
Perhaps out of appreciation for talent, or perhaps out of desire to form a good relationship, the reporter was particularly friendly to He Jingtian, and she even wanted to donate some money to He Jingtian's mother and son.
"The provincial capital is expensive. You are still a student, and you have a mother who has an inconvenient life. You will definitely need money——"
The reporter wanted to help, but was afraid of hurting He Jingtian's self-esteem, so he wanted to use a tactful way, "I will try my best to publish this article. By then, maybe there will be kind-hearted people in the society to help."
He Jingtian did not refuse the interview, and also wanted to be recognized and praised by the official media.
However, he doesn't want to be a person with his palms up.
"Sister Xu, thank you, but I don't need any donations."
He Jingtian's eyes are bright and his expression is determined, "There are many people in society who need help more than me. It is indeed more difficult for me now, but I can overcome it!"
"I can work-study. In addition to being a tutor, I am also proficient in five foreign languages: English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese. I can be a translator for a publishing house or an interpreter for some foreign-related organizations!"
He Jingtian didn't know when he knew so many foreign languages. Maybe it was the benefit of being reborn.
No matter what the reason is, the result is that he is proficient in five foreign languages and can also do on-site interpretation!
Now is the early 1990s when the economy is developing rapidly. Both the country and various enterprises are in urgent need of talents of all kinds.
Especially for translation, the government wants to attract investment, and the private sector is also actively doing business with foreign countries. He Jingtian is not a student in the foreign language department, but because he has studied English, he has also gone to help in some units.
That is just general English, and translations for French, German, Spanish, etc., which are regarded as minor languages in this era, will be even more scarce.
He Jingtian has the skills at hand, so he doesn’t have to worry about making money!
"Proficient in five foreign languages including English and French?"
The reporter's eyes widened and he looked at He Jingtian in disbelief.
She knew that He Jingtian was excellent, but she still didn't expect that this young man who looked like a white-faced scholar could be so outstanding.
He Jingtian faced the reporter's astonished gaze and nodded slowly, indicating that he indeed knew these things.
"That's good. Several of my classmates are also in the provincial capital, and some of them work in publishing houses. I have contact information here. You can try to get in touch!"
The reporter was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to write down some contact information and give it to He Jingtian.
"Sister Xu, thank you so much!" He Jingtian thanked him again and again.
Although he can contact publishing houses or foreign trade companies that need translation through teachers or professors at the school, it is still good to have more choices.
"You're welcome, you are good enough yourself! I'm just helping to introduce you, the key is to look at your own abilities!"
The reporter did not take credit, but spoke more objectively.
She looked at He Jingtian with even more admiration——
Rich children come from poor families. Excellent people, even if they are born into difficult families, can still shine their own light!
And He Jingtian, who is so outstanding and has so many skills, should be able to support himself and a crazy mother who needs someone to take care of him!
The police helped He Jingtian and his son buy train tickets back to the provincial capital, and sent them to the platform with the reporter's wife.
"Goodbye! Thank you!"
Through the car window, He Jingtian waved goodbye to this kind and warm-hearted couple.
"Goodbye!" The police and reporters also waved their arms and watched the green train slowly drive out of the station, clanking all the way to the distance.
"Xiaotian, where are we going? I, I don't want to go out to play anymore, I want to go home!"
He's mother had eaten and drank enough, freshened up, and looked like a normal person.
But her expression shrank, her eyes evaded, and she did not dare to look at strangers at all. Along the way, she clutched the corner of her son's clothes, cowering like a frightened quail.
He Jingtian instinctively felt bored, but he suppressed this instinct.
He took a deep breath, tried to use a gentle tone, and said to his mother: "Mom, the house in our hometown has collapsed. If it weren't for repairing the house, my dad wouldn't have fallen off the roof!"
"Dad is gone, and I have transferred the land in my hometown. We no longer have a home!"
"However, I will always take care of you. As long as I am here, there is a home. Wherever I am, our home will be there!"
As he talked, He Jingtian himself became emotional.
If possible, he didn't want to be an unfilial son who abandoned his own mother, a white-eyed wolf.
There was nothing we could do about it in the past.
Now that he has discovered that he has so many skills to make money, He Jingtian also has the confidence.
He held his mother's hand, looked into her eyes, and said word for word: "Mom, don't worry, I will never abandon you again!"
