This was the first time for the children to see the flashing red and blue police lights. The big guys had already forgotten what happened just now. They shouted and jumped around the police car excitedly, playing the game of police catching thieves.
game.
The police officer stood in front of the old woman and asked worriedly: "Grandma, are you sure this is just a quarrel between brothers?"
The old lady nodded and said sincerely: "Hey... you policemen, don't think that I, an old woman, am nosy, let's do this today. In fact, my father passed away and left some property. As a result,
The two uncles were having a huge fight over her custody rights. I... I called the police out of confusion. If I had known better, I wouldn't have bothered you. I'm really sorry... I made you laugh."
The police officer closed the notebook in his hand and warned: "It's okay, grandma! Let's fight for custody. I suggest you go to the court to resolve it. But if you get involved one day, or get injured,
Man, you must call me as soon as possible, I am not afraid of trouble."
The woman nodded and politely sent the policeman out.
After the other party left, Zizi Po came to the dormitory alone and found Chen Liangshan applying an ice towel to his face, while Nannan and Liu Xiaoyue were also crying with fear and their eyes were red.
Although Chen Liangshan's heart was as heavy as a big stone, he still pretended to be relaxed and joked: "Xiao Yue, stop crying, tell me how I beat that bad guy just now."
When Liu Xiaoyue heard this, she immediately thought of those vicious thugs just now. It had to be said that such an impactful fighting scene was definitely not something that a 10-year-old child like her could bear, so when she thought about it, she cried even harder.
Already.
When Chen Liangshan saw the old lady walking in, he smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, eldest sister, but this matter today requires you to lie to the police."
Zizi Po shook her head and sighed: "It's okay, Xiao Chen, it's none of your business, Qiangzi... Oh no, I should call him Liu Jianren now. This kid has been an orphan since he was a child, and I brought him up. So.
In my eyes, both he and Xiaoyue are my children, and I really don’t want Qiangzi to be taken away by the police because of what happened today.”
At this point, tears welled up in the eyes of the old lady, and she clasped her hands together and said to herself: "Blessed by Bodhisattva, don't let Qiang Zi go astray in the future..."
When Chen Liangshan saw the sincere look on his face, he secretly sighed in his heart. For someone who had experienced so many years of suffering, he was still unsure about many things.
Not sure who I will become in the future.
I am not sure whether my relationship with Yanran will last long in the future.
Not sure if Nannan can become a strong and independent child in the future.
It is uncertain whether Liu Xiaoyue can successfully overcome this difficulty in the future.
More than thirty years of suffering life has given Chen Liangshan too many uncertain things. However, the only thing that is certain in his heart is that there are no gods and Buddhas in this world, and there are no Bodhisattvas to save people from water and fire. There are only
The suffering that can only be broken with your own hands.
In the blink of an eye, it was almost time to go to bed, but Liu Xiaoyue seemed to be very clinging to Chen Liangshan today. It could be seen that her eyes were full of trust and reluctance, but in the end she walked alone to the children's dormitory in the corner.
However, the moment Liu Xiaoyue walked into the dormitory, she heard the curses from the older children in the room.
"Liu Xiaoyue, you are such a bad guy!"
"Just bring back some bad guys from outside!"
"I really don't know what the old man does to feed you!"
"You've been making excuses all day long that you have to go to school and can't work. I think you sneaked out to play!"
"It stinks! It stinks! Why did Liu Xiaoyue stink so much when she came in!"
Although it is a child's talk, it is obviously no longer a quarrel between children's words, but a kind of naked bullying.
Chen Liangshan looked from outside the door and saw that the children's dormitory was not big. There were more than a dozen children sleeping in the simple bunk beds against the wall. However, living in such an environment with extremely poor sanitary conditions, the children were also full of health problems.
It's a scab bitten by a chicken turtle.
The poor woman was uneducated. When she saw these children bullying Liu Xiaoyue again, she immediately rushed in with a cane and whipped the loudest child.
"Let you not learn well! Let you bully others!"
"Get off your grandma's legs!"
"Shut up, everyone. If anyone says another word, I'll spank him until his ass blooms today!"
The children laughed loudly, but the old woman could only reprimand the most disobedient children with her pretended angry yelling.
Chen Liangshan felt very uncomfortable seeing this scene. Although Liu Xiaoyue was also one of the bad boys who bullied his daughter at the beginning, he only felt sympathy and guilt for Liu Xiaoyue at this moment.
He even wondered if Liu Jianmin was still alive, whether he would feel sad when he saw his daughter in the situation she is in today.
Some things cannot withstand careful consideration, and some things that are destined to happen will inevitably lead to inspiration at a certain time.
"Nanny." Chen Liangshan suddenly touched his daughter's head and whispered, "Shall we take Xiao Yue home to live tonight?"
Nannan's eyes were still red from crying, but when she heard this, her small mouth finally slowly opened up, "Okay! Okay! Dad, I love you...haha!"
After discussing with Laozi's mother-in-law, Chen Liangshan decided to take Liu Xiaoyue home for a week. When Liu Xiaoyue heard the news, her eyes suddenly showed a look of half surprise and half joy. Even what happened just now had a profound impact on her.
The haze caused was also swept away in an instant.
…
On the way back to the city, the sounds of the two children playing and screaming, coupled with the constant shouting of the electric Spider-Man, almost made Chen Liangshan the driver so loud that his ears almost exploded.
After the noise continued for about half an hour, my daughter lay down in the back seat and fell asleep, and the car suddenly became quiet.
Just when Chen Liangshan was not quiet for a while, he heard the faint sound of crying. When he looked through the rearview mirror, he found Liu Xiaoyue looking out of the car window, carefully wiping away tears.
"Xiaoyue? Why are you crying?"
Liu Xiaoyue wiped away her tears and responded in a low voice: "I, I miss dad..."
Chen Liangshan's hand holding the steering wheel suddenly trembled. This scene was the scene he least wanted to see and was most afraid of.
He tried hard to look strong, but he couldn't help but cry: "Who on earth...killed my father?"
Sudden braking, Chen Liangshan stopped the car on the side of the road. At this moment, he found that he was just like this little child. Tears could not stop flowing out of his eyes. For the first time, he felt how painful "empathy" was.
one thing.
After living in the orphanage for several months, Liu Xiaoyue deeply understood that "crying" is a very offensive thing to others, so she thought she had done something wrong again, hurriedly wiped away her tears, and returned to her previous self.
A cautious and cautious look.
"I'm sorry...uncle...I won't cry anymore..."
Chen Liangshan, who was already feeling guilty, felt as if his heart was broken into pieces after hearing these words. He knew very well that the reason why Liu Xiaoyue became such a "pleasant" child now must have suffered countless hardships behind the scenes.
of bullying.
Chen Liangshan tried his best to hide his tears and said slowly: "Xiao Yue, you never need to say sorry to me, because... I am sorry for you..."
The sound of talking gradually woke her up. With her sleepy eyes open, she saw Liu Xiaoyue and her father seeming to be wiping away tears, and asked in confusion: "Dad, what's wrong?"
Chen Liangshan hurriedly wiped away his tears and said as if to change the subject: "It's okay, it's okay, dad just thought of something fun."
As soon as she heard that it was something fun, her daughter was no longer sleepy. She came over and asked, "What is it? Say it quickly!"
Chen Liangshan thought for a while, and suddenly felt the urge to take these two little guys to play, so he asked, "Do you want to go out and play?"
Children are children after all. When hearing this, Liu Xiaoyue, who was still wiping away tears, immediately nodded happily. Not to mention, Nannan was so excited that she almost came over, but she still looked a little worried. She mumbled a little.
Face asked: "But...it's going to be bedtime soon. Mom will definitely be angry if we go to play now, right?"
Chen Liangshan smiled and said, "Whatever! You two tell me now, do you want to play?"
The two little guys looked at each other and said in unison: "I want to!"
Chen Liangshan rolled down the four windows, played another piece of music with a strong rhythm, and said to the two of them: "Then sit tight! Let's leave now!"
"ah!"
"Ha ha!"
As soon as the accelerator was pressed, the vehicle drove towards Xicheng District. The sound of two children laughing and playing could be heard along the way.
