The misunderstanding was quickly resolved. The police officer was not a trafficker who stole children, but an excellent people's police officer. With this, he achieved another second-class merit.
From then on, the policeman went to school as if he were at home. As long as there was nothing wrong, he would come to pick up Huang Xiaobei from school and help catch a few thieves.
Those days were also prime time for Huang Xiaobei. Old Brother Liu was very unkind to him. He would buy him whatever he wanted and would pick him up almost every day. Unlike his father, who let him get out of school by himself when he was in second grade. go home.
Although his father had to work to support him, Huang Xiaobei was still envious when he saw the parents of other classmates standing at the school gate to pick up their children every time after school.
"Here, here, boy, uncle is here."
Looking at the figures appearing among the parents, Huang Xiaobei happily ran to Uncle Liu with a big schoolbag on his back.
Taking the ice cream from the uncle's hand, Huang Xiaobei first secretly looked at the classmates and parents around him, and then looked at the policeman uncle who was carrying his schoolbag in front of him and holding his hand. Huang Xiaobei licked the ice cream, and it was white and tender.
There was a happy smile on her little face.
Exactly the same as everyone else.
"How was school today?"
"It's okay, I didn't fall asleep in Chinese class."
"I didn't sleep...you have really high demands on yourself."
The appearance of Old Uncle Liu has largely made up for the hidden trauma in Huang Xiaobei's heart, and it can also be regarded as some of the rare and beautiful memories of Huang Xiaobei's life.
However, with the relationship between Old Uncle Liu and Huang Xiaobei so good, one person must be unhappy, well, Huang Xiaobei's biological father - Comrade Huang Xiaozhi.
In fact, for a long time after the policeman uncle appeared in Huang Xiaobei's life, the school teachers always thought that the policeman uncle was Huang Xiaobei's biological father...but he was in the same profession as his stepfather.
.....
There is no way to avoid this. In the afternoon, when the children are out of school, the uncle shows up. When the child is sick, the uncle shows up. The child forgets to bring the book fee, and the uncle jumps in through the window to deliver it. Do you think he is Huang Xiaobei’s relative?
father?
Huang Xiaobei's father didn't know about these things at first, but later he found out that, yes, the teacher had called him.
On the phone, the teacher said tactfully, "Mr. Huang, you haven't come to pick up your son from school recently. Is it because there is something wrong with your family?"
Huang Xiaobei's father said no, right? Although I didn't go to pick up Xiaobei, my home is only a few blocks away from the school, and my son's mouth is so accurate that it's scary. Every mouth he opens can kill someone. What could happen?
Son?
When Huang Xiaobei's father learned from the teacher what had happened, Huang Xiaobei's father almost went crazy with anger. Once he happened to bump into a policeman at the school gate, and the two of them beat him so hard.
"Steal my son, I will let you steal my son!"
"Hey, are you attacking the police? Let me go, or I will send you to the police station!"
Huang Xiaobei stood calmly and watched his father and the policeman fight. Instead of trying to explain, he kept clapping and applauding...
It’s no wonder that Huang Xiaobei’s father is irrational and dares to hit someone in uniform. There is no other way. You went to pick up your son from school, but you saw your son leaving with another man. The man even bought your son food.
You have to wonder what color the hat on your head is?
Fortunately, the misunderstanding was quickly resolved, and Huang Xiaobei's father finally understood the relationship between the policeman and his son. Especially after having an in-depth conversation with the policeman, the two almost ended up with different surnames.
brother.
At the wine table, Huang Xiaobei's father, who was drunk, slapped Huang Xiaobei's schoolbag on the shoulder of the policeman, and said proudly: "From now on, you will pick up my son after school!"
The policeman was so moved that he shouted "Brother!"
In fact, Huang Xiaobei's father also had his own considerations in making this decision.
I'm too busy with work and don't have time to accompany Xiaobei. Now it's better. The little policeman named Liu is here. Not only does he follow Xiaobei every day, but he can also perform meritorious services for the country in disguise. If Xiaobei encounters any accident, this
The police will definitely be the first to rush to the rescue.
Yes, I’ll let that kid take care of my son from now on. Anyway, he’s pretty good to Xiao Bei and he can be the godson of that little policeman from now on.
However, Huang Xiaobei's father also lamented the policeman uncle by the way - "Isn't it because I have a weak head that I want to be an armed policeman in the future? Although it is more dangerous, it is not...
Well, everyone has their own life philosophy, I have no right to say anything, and if I am gone in the future, he should be able to take good care of Xiaobei, right?"
From then on, the policeman uncle stayed with Huang Xiaobei and his son openly. Huang Xiaobei's father was very interesting. He not only asked the policeman uncle to pick up Huang Xiaobei from school, but also asked him to hold the parent-teacher conference. The policeman uncle was very excited at the time.
He didn't notice the cunning look on Huang Xiaobei's father's face at all.
Well, that parent-teacher meeting was something the police officer would never forget. From then on, even if Huang Xiaobei’s father knelt down to beg him, he would not go scolding him. When playing with Comrade Huang Xiaobei, he would try to avoid talking about his grades.
The problem.
But the uncle still talks about it occasionally.
——————————————
Sitting on the bench at the artificial lake, looking at Huang Xiaobei who was licking ice cream next to him, the police officer touched Huang Xiaobei's little head very earnestly and said, "Can't you study hard?"
"Brother Liu, I want to play hoops."
The policeman uncle sighed and smiled helplessly, "You are such an ancestor, let's go and play, but how about we discuss it and study hard? Brother, ah, bah, it's you who did so poorly in the exam, uncle.
I'm really embarrassed to go to your school this time. If nothing else, look at your answer to that question. You can actually do wrong calculations in addition and subtraction."
Huang Xiaobei rolled his eyes, you go into our school just like you go home, how can you be embarrassed? After all, you are not my dad, why do you care so much.
"Brother Liu, why do you always come to me? I have helped you catch so many fugitives. The two brothers have almost captured all the fugitives in the city. Why are you still following me? Although you can eat for free
The ice cream is very good." Huang Xiaobei licked the ice cream and said with a smile.
Looking at the sparkling lake in front of him and listening to the innocent voices of the children beside him, the policeman scratched his head and chuckled, "How should I put it, I'm more in tune with you, and besides, I guess I'll never be the same in this life.
I won’t get married, so..."
"Brother Liu, you are not ugly."
The policeman almost fell off his chair because Huang Xiaobei was so angry, "Who is ugly! Your eldest brother, I am a handsome man, and I am also an honorable police officer in this city. How many girls are lining up to find a partner with me, and I am
You don’t want to find a partner to have children, otherwise the children might be older than you, a brat."
Having said this, the uncle lowered his head unconsciously and said in a much heavier voice, "Hey, what's more, your uncle is so powerful, he will have to join the armed police sooner or later, and it won't be too difficult to get married and have children...
suit me."
Huang Xiaobei sat on the bench, kicked his short legs and said, "Then if you don't have children, who will take care of you in old age? My father tells me every day that when he gets old, I have to take good care of him.
"
The uncle smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Uncle, I will buy you delicious food now and play with you. When I get old, will you support me?"
Huang Xiaobei curled his lips and said, "You are not my father."
The policeman uncle looked at the cute little boy next to him, and cast his lonely gaze towards the golden lake illuminated by the setting sun, and smiled softly.
"I think so. It's a pity that uncle has to fight evil all his life. He doesn't have time to get married and have children. And he is like him. To be honest, uncle doesn't want to be dragged down, and...
I don’t want to drag others down.”
Staring at the lake illuminated by the setting sun, the uncle's eyes were deep and lonely.
"If something happens to them because of my work, then I might as well be alone from the beginning."
Huang Xiaobei was very young at the time and didn't understand the policeman's words at all.
At this time, the police officer touched Huang Xiaobei's head affectionately with his own head, "I said, I've eaten all the ice cream, let's discuss something?"
Huang Xiaobei licked the ice cream, "What's the matter?"
The uncle touched his little head, rolled his eyes, and said mischievously: "How about you call me dad?" As he said that, the smile on the uncle's face became a lot bitter, and he touched Huang Xiaobei's head, "
I guess no one in this life can call me that. You feel aggrieved, why don’t you call me that?”
Huang Xiaobei shook his head firmly, "Let's just stay together as buddies for the rest of our lives."
The uncle didn't say anything. After a while, he smiled and sighed, "Okay, then, let's just be friends."
After saying that, the uncle consciously squatted in front of Huang Xiaobei, "Come on, little ancestor, let's go play with hoops. I'll take you home later. I won't be able to accompany you tomorrow if I have something to do.
Remember, if you see a bad guy, you run away first, and you don’t have to be dragged by uncle. There are not all bad guys in the world to catch."
Huang Xiaobei looked at the policeman squatting in front of him. Soon, his two short legs jumped up and sat directly on the policeman's neck.
"Drive! Drive! Brother Liu, come on, come on! I just saw an Autobot, he's very handsome, don't let other people take you away."
"Haha, that's not your eldest brother. Why should I brag to you? It's my eldest brother who set you up. There are not many people in the world who can compare with me."
The policeman stuck his cap on Huang Xiaobei's head and carried the little ancestor on his back to the stall in the distance.
"You have to study hard after setting a trap, you know?"
"It depends on my mood."
"I said, just call me dad, and you won't lose anything."
"What a big loss!"
As the sun sets in the west, two long shadows, one large and one small, fall on the ground, accompanied by laughter and laughter.
————————————
The good times didn't last long, because he made too many meritorious deeds, and soon the policeman was transferred and went to the next province to become a section chief.
On the day he left, Huang Xiaobei, who was still in elementary school, burst into tears, and his uncle also cried, even though his uncle had said before leaving that he would come back to see him every year in the future.
But after all, these people have gone to work so far away, and it is difficult for them to come back.
But Huang Xiaobei believed that his uncle would definitely come back to see him.
The phone calls were frequent in the first year. The uncle said that he was doing well there, but without Huang Xiaobei, there were fewer opportunities to make meritorious deeds. But don't worry, the uncle will definitely come back to see you during the Chinese New Year.
But I didn't expect anything.
There were fewer phone calls in the second year. My uncle seemed to have been promoted again and his work was even busier than last year.
In the third year, there were only two phone calls.
After the fourth year, there was no phone call anymore, and there was no news from him completely.
Even if Huang Xiaobei called him, the number would be empty.
Putting down Didi's phone in his hand, Huang Xiaobei didn't feel much sadness. He just glanced at his mouth and said, "I knew it was like this."
It's quite normal. If you're not related to me, you wouldn't be able to do that much.
From then on, Huang Xiaobei never took the initiative to find the police uncle again, and the uncle never showed up again.
Over time, Huang Xiaobei forgot about this policeman uncle who appeared in his childhood life. He occasionally thought of it and laughed it off.
This is actually the case between people. As time goes by and the distance becomes far, it will fade away.
But a few years ago, when Huang Xiaobei's father died of illness, Huang Xiaobei unexpectedly received a remittance of 100,000 yuan.
The money came very unexpectedly, almost falling from the sky, and the name of the remitter was blank.
No matter how Huang Xiaobei searched for this weird account information, he couldn't find anything of value. The only thing he knew was that the account belonged to Myanmar.
Not long after, Huang Xiaobei received another remittance, this time a little less than 20,000 yuan. It happened to be the time when he failed the college entrance examination, but this time the remitter wrote a sentence on it.
"Let your boy study hard."
Looking at the words on the remittance slip, Huang Xiaobei was stunned for a long time.
Holding the remittance slip in his hand, Huang Xiaobei felt uncertain.
He didn't want to think of the policeman because it was impossible!
We haven’t seen each other for so many years, and there were still phone calls in the first three years, but there were no phone calls in the next few years. The uncle is afraid that he has forgotten him. Even if the uncle really knows that his father died of illness, there is no need for him to do so.
.
Even though he didn't want to think about it, those familiar words still reminded him of the police uncle in his childhood.
But, we haven’t seen each other for so many years, and the uncle is probably married, so how can we still remember him as a vague person?
He has his life, and I have my life. We are all just passers-by in the other person's life. Haha, it can't be his.
Huang Xiaobei smiled bitterly and didn't want to think about it anymore.
Okay, the most noteworthy thing happened.
When Huang Xiaobei was recruited by Fanzhuo School to study abroad, Huang Xiaobei received the last remittance from that strange account.
Thirty thousand yuan. This time, the remitter only wrote four words on it.
"I feel relieved."
He received a total of 150,000 yuan one after another. Even if Huang Xiaobei was a fool, he should have guessed something, but he was still like that. He always felt that his uncle had forgotten him. This money might belong to some rich man. Look at him.
It was so miserable that I sent him out of kindness.
Huang Xiaobei said that he would pay back the money sooner or later, but he just didn't know who to pay it back to.
Do you want to give it to the uncle? But, it shouldn’t be him. After so many years, I have forgotten him. Will he still remember me?
Vaguely, I seemed to be able to hear the uncle’s helpless laughter.
You thought he had forgotten you, but he was always paying attention to you silently behind your back.
----------small theater.
"Hey brat, do you know where uncle grew up when he was a child?"
Huang Xiaobei stared at the ice cream in his hand with all his attention, and said very perfunctorily: "Where else can I be? At home."
"Haha, I was half right. My uncle grew up at home before he was ten years old, and he was in an orphanage after he was ten years old."
"Then why didn't you go back home after you turned ten? Do your parents like to beat you?"
"Huh. How can I put it this way? Your uncle's and my experiences are more like those in Hong Kong movies. My father and mother are probably the kind of people in Hong Kong movies who were retaliated by criminals and then wiped out the whole family."
"Well, uncle was very lucky back then. He was playing outside. When he came home, he didn't see any gangsters. He only saw two corpses. Haha, he was so scared that I had to go to an orphanage for a year before I could speak again."
The uncle smiled and touched Huang Xiaobei's little head.
"You know why uncle wants to be a policeman and not get married and have children, right? I really don't want to follow the same path as my biological father. Hey, don't say in the future that I can't find a wife because I'm ugly."
Looking at the gentle and free-spirited uncle in front of him, Huang Xiaobei lowered his head and said softly "Oh."
The uncle is so miserable, but why can he still laugh?
Many years later, when Huang Xiaobei was studying in England, he accidentally came into contact with the works of a Russian writer named Gogol. He had a unique creative technique called "tears of laughter."
For some reason, Huang Xiaobei suddenly remembered his uncle's smile that afternoon.
Tearful smile: Behind the smile there is often deep sorrow. (To be continued)
