5. go out

Uncle Mouse was talking with Meng Qingqing while walking, "Qingqing! Your family is promising, and everyone is doing well in school. Your grandfather is also a man. You must confess your father and his four children. , your uncle was the first college student in the village. In the second year, your father was also admitted to the university, but just a few days after your father received the admission letter, your grandfather was crushed while working in the gravel yard. It was stoned to death. With the conditions in our village, it is good enough to provide for one person to go to school. For four people to go to school, your grandma is a woman's family. Picking up the burden, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to go to college and went out to work to support his elder brother, younger siblings to continue their studies. I heard that your father did all kinds of hard work to make money. He used the money from his part-time job to send your uncle, Uncle and sister-in-law are both working until they graduate from university. How difficult it is! Your uncle is working in the provincial capital, and your uncle and sister-in-law are working in the county. I don’t see you a few times a year, it’s hard for you child.”

Although Meng Qingqing knew about the sacrifices her father had made for this family, but now she said it from Uncle Mouse again, Meng Qingqing was still very sad to hear it, and felt sorry for her father. In order to make money for his brothers and sisters to go to school, he must do all kinds of work desperately. Now, his brothers and sisters have all graduated from college and started a family, but his body is exhausted. The siblings who gave everything shamelessly took away his hard-earned property after he left.

Thinking of this, Meng Qingqing couldn't help but feel sad for her father. My father has lived a very hard life and is now sick. As his only daughter, can she save him? Will Dad's fate change?

Seeing Meng Qingqing quietly wiping tears, Uncle Mouse stopped to comfort her and said, "Silly girl, you are a sensible child, study hard in the future, and go to university, so that your father can enjoy happiness with you."

"Uncle Mouse, have you seen my mother? What kind of person is she?" Every time Meng Qingqing mentioned her mother to her grandma and father, they avoided talking about it, and only said that she was dead. Mom didn't have any impression, so she didn't think about it deeply, but she had to think about some things carefully. She felt that grandma and dad's attitude towards her mother was very abnormal. Even if she died, why didn't she grave? Why did grandma and dad have unnatural expressions when she was mentioned. There must be something wrong here. Uncle Mouse is one of the few good people in Meng Qingqing's impression. She has a natural intimacy with him. She hopes to know something about her mother from him.

Uncle Mouse said: "Qingqing, I don't know about this. I have never met your mother. It can be said that your mother has never been to Mengjia Village. After your father went out to work for a year, your grandma said that your father met outside. A girl, they got married outside, and said that the girl’s family disliked your father’s family for being poor. If they disagreed, they didn’t hold a wedding and married themselves. After a year, your grandma went out for a month, and when she came back, she hugged her. I was looking at you and said that your mother passed away when you were born. So no one in the village has seen your mother. Your father has not looked for it again these years. If someone who is enthusiastic wants to introduce him, he is unwilling and does not know. What did he think, maybe he was afraid that you would be wronged!"

Mom is dead, what about grandma and grandpa? Why did they never look for her? Maybe they hate her! Because of her arrival, they lost their daughter. Or they also hated their father. At that time, the condition of father had to pay the tuition fees of his brothers and sisters. It is true that no family would marry their daughter to him and suffer along with them. Later, my mother died, so my father felt guilty and never looked for it again these years, is that true? Meng Qingqing analyzed it by herself.

"Qingqing, I heard that your father bought a house in the provincial capital? If so,

You can go to the provincial capital to go to school. It’s best to take your grandma too. I don’t think your grandma’s life is easy. Don’t think that all her children are promising, but I think only your father is reliable. A few children... well, look at my mouth..."

The so-called bystanders are clear, what Uncle Mouse said is the truth, all these children of grandma have lived a good life, but grandma is still allowed to live in this remote and backward mountain village.

Meng Qingqing feels uncomfortable when she thinks of her father's illness. She can't tell her grandma for fear that she will be anxious, and she can't tell other relatives that they have bad intentions. At this moment, Meng Qingqing really wants to talk to this warm-hearted mouse. Uncle vomited, but she still held back, "Uncle Mouse, my father originally wanted to take me and grandma out, but now he encountered something in the provincial capital, so he temporarily put it aside. "

Uncle Mouse nodded, "That's good, that's good, it's not that I look down on the place where I was born, life here is really much harder than outside. Water flows to low places, people go to high places!"

Meng Qingqing nodded in agreement, "That's true, the conditions here are too bad. Living here is too hard."

Meng Qingqing and Uncle Mouse walked and chatted all the way, and arrived in the town after more than an hour. After Meng Qingqing said goodbye to Uncle Mouse, they got on the bus bound for the county.

More than three hours have passed since waking up in the morning. Sitting in the car, Meng Qingqing had time to seriously sort out her rebirth this time. Others have golden fingers when they are reborn, but she didn't find any signs of golden fingers on her body. If there is no golden finger, she is just a very ordinary girl. Her rebirth will not change anything. When she thinks of her father's illness, she feels heavy in her heart.

After thinking all the way, I arrived at the county seat. It was already noon at this time, and it took more than ten hours to transfer to the provincial capital. Meng Qingqing first ate a bowl of rice noodles and bought three steamed buns before going to the county seat for passenger transportation. Station to buy tickets.

Meng Qingqing wished that she could rush to the provincial capital immediately to see her longing father, but today is the National Day, there are many people in the passenger station, and they queued for a long time, and finally bought a ticket to the provincial capital ticket. The departure time was 2:30 in the afternoon, so when the bus arrived at the provincial capital, it was around 4:00 in the morning. It was still dark at that time. I can only wait for dawn in the waiting room before leaving.
