I really can't believe that this was said by a child who was only fourteen years old. The first thing he thought of was not himself, but his deceased mother.
I felt very uncomfortable. Thinking about me, I didn’t know anything about my mother before she passed away.
I seem to be worse than a fourteen-year-old child, which is really embarrassing.
I was silent for a while and then said, "Okay, uncle, let me accompany you back home tomorrow."
"Uncle, will this delay your work?"
"No, uncle is the boss, no one cares about me." I forced a smile and joked.
Shu Zhi also smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to uncle."
In this way, I took my two children back to where I lived.
I didn't tell Wang Yi before that I was going to bring these two children back, so when she saw the two children, she was very surprised.
I first introduced the two children, and Wang Yi pulled me aside and asked in a low voice: "Why did you bring these two children back? Didn't you help them find their father? Didn't you find them?"
"Found it." I said.
"Then why did you bring it back?"
"It's a long story. Is there still food at home? I'll tell you later after I've eaten."
"Yes, there is, but the three of you are not enough!"
I ran to the dining table and looked at it. It was indeed enough for two children.
I had no choice but to say to Wang Yi: "Go and heat up the food, and I'll eat it myself."
Wang Yi didn't say anything, just took the food to the kitchen and heated it up.
After I settled the two children down, I went down to the kitchen.
At this time, Wang Yi said to me again: "Tell me, what is going on? Why did you bring them home again?"
"Their father doesn't want them."
Wang Yi frowned immediately and said, "Their father doesn't want them, so why did you bring them back? Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Then what can I do? I can't leave my two children in Shanghai, right?" I whispered.
"Their father doesn't want them, so just go find a lawyer! Can he get away with this kind of thing?"
I sighed and said, "It's not that simple. Their father has already formed a new family, and he divorced the mother of the two children long ago. At that time, the custody of the children was also with the mother."
Wang Yi's reply was exactly the same as An Lan's before, saying: "Even if this is the case, then as the father of the child, he can't ignore it, right?"
"How can he take care of it? My family is very harmonious now, and the two children are not willing to follow him."
"So you brought them back?"
I nodded and replied: "Their father gave a sum of money and I plan to settle these two children down. This is not a big deal, so you don't have to be so excited."
"I said Chen Feng, do you think this is a small thing? These are two children! You just accepted it for no reason?"
Wang Yi spoke a little louder, so that Shu Zhi outside could hear him.
Shu Zhi came to the door of the kitchen. He looked like he had made a mistake and said to Wang Yi: "Auntie, we will not let our uncle raise us. I have the ability to take good care of my sister."
Wang Yi felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not what I meant. Auntie has no intention of driving you away."
Shu Zhi bowed to Wang Yi again and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
I feel helpless, but I can understand Wang Yi.
It is really unreasonable that I brought two children back for no reason, and that I was asked to be responsible for the future lives of these two children.
After Shu Zhi walked away from the kitchen door, I said to Wang Yi again: "Don't be so excited. The two children are very sensible. On the way back just now, I asked them what they want to do next? Should they stay in Chengdu or go back to their hometown?
What do you think they said?"
I paused, then sighed and said, "He said he wanted to go back and renovate their mother's grave. Please tell me how sensible this is."
"I understand the truth, but don't you think it's puzzling for you? Don't you have a life of your own? Why is it that even your biological father doesn't want to take care of it and wants you, an outsider, to take care of it?"
I suddenly couldn't communicate with Wang Yi anymore. I know what I did was a bit ridiculous, but what can I do?
I really can't leave these two children in Shanghai, can I?
In my silence, Wang Yi glanced at me again and said: "Forget it, do whatever you want! Just continue to be the good guy you are! I hope one day you won't regret it."
"I'm talking about Wang Yi, what's going on with you? When has a good person ever done something wrong with you?"
"I'm not saying it's wrong to be a good person, but it's the scoring situation."
"Then what did you mean by supporting education in Meigu County before? Aren't you doing a good deed? Now that you meet these two children, they are helpless, can't you just accept it?"
"Stop talking, just do whatever you want, I can't control you."
I didn't bother to tell her, it was really a bit baffling.
When we were having dinner with our two children, Shu Zhi quietly asked me, "Uncle, does that aunt not welcome us?"
"No, don't think too much about it, it's just that she was a little surprised. It will be fine tomorrow."
Shu Zhi said to me again: "Uncle, although I am young, I understand. My sister and I will not let you bear the burden. I have also thought clearly about it after I go back to renovate my mother's grave tomorrow, and I will stay with my sister.
I can take good care of my sister back home."
"How can this be done! You are only fourteen years old."
"My grandfather once said that he was already working in the production team when he was fourteen years old. Why can't I?"
"You are still a child yourself."
"I am not a child anymore. I have already thought about it. After I graduate from junior high school, I will stop studying and go to work in the county to support my sister in college."
I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I was silent for a while before saying, "No, you have to continue studying. Don't always think about taking care of others. Your task now is to study."
Shu Zhi lowered his head and fell silent. It was obvious that he also wanted to continue studying, but reality forced him to lower his head.
The gap between people is so big. Nowadays, some children of his age in the city may still be playing games with their mobile phones, or be rebellious in various ways.
But Shu Zhi thought about working to earn money to support his sister. They say that children from poor families become the masters early, and this is true.
I didn’t know that Wang Yi suddenly had a seizure. Logically speaking, she should not be like this for such a kind person!
Seeing that Shu Zhi's mood suddenly became a little low, I reached out and patted his shoulder again, comforting him and said: "Okay, okay, don't think so much. I said just now, what you should think about most now is study, don't
Go think about other things."
Shu Zhi nodded lightly, and I smiled and asked him: "Do you have any dreams? For example, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
Shu Zhi shook his head, as if he had never thought about it.
But at this time, Shu Ya echoed loudly: "I want to be a teacher."
I looked at Shu Yahui and smiled heartily and said, "Then you have to study hard. Being a teacher is not that easy."
"Yes, I will." Shu Ya responded cutely.
I looked at Shu Zhi again and asked him again: "What about you? Shu Zhi, you should have your own ideas, right?"
"I" Shu Zhi said in a long voice, "I want to be a soldier!"
I was stunned for a moment, because it is rare to hear of anyone who dreams of being a soldier.
After being stunned for a while, I asked him: "Why do you want to be a soldier?"
After Shu Zhi told me the reason, my eyes became red again.
