resentment

Li Zehai knew that this should be Mingzhu's younger sister. After Mingzhu came out, she just politely smiled at Li Zehai and prepared to leave.Li Zehai smiled faintly, and then looked at Wang Dezhi.

As soon as the Mingzhu sisters walked out of the gate, Li Zehai anxiously prepared to ask, but unexpectedly, the door opened again with a "click", Li Zehai and Wang Dezhi glanced outside, it turned out that Mingzhu had returned, Wang Dezhi asked with a smile Said: "Mingzhu, why are you back again?"

Mingzhu smiled softly, "Dad, I just found out that I forgot my bag, come back and pick it up." While talking, he took his bag from the sofa beside him, and Wang Dezhi waved his hand: "Go, go, Be careful on the road." Mingzhu nodded, turned around and left.

Seeing the back of Mingzhu leaving, Wang Dezhi smiled at Li Zehai, and then gestured to the sofa to sit down.

Li Zehai nodded politely, glanced at the sofa beside him, and sat down.

Wang Dezhi picked up the cup on the table and poured Li Zehai a glass of water, saying, "Drink some water." Li Zehai smiled at the old man and said politely, "Thank you."

Wang Dezhi felt that Li Zehai was being too polite. In fact, there was no need to be so embarrassed. He sat next to Li Zehai and asked, "What do you want to know about what happened 20 years ago? And, who are you?"

Li Zehai looked up at the glass in his hand, but his face was expressionless. He shifted his gaze to Wang Dezhi: "The old county magistrate, my name is Li Zehai, and Li is the Li of Liming. More than 20 years ago, I and I Both parents live here. My father's name is Li Yangquan, do you know him?"

Wang Dezhi frowned slightly when he heard it, thought for a while and replied, "Is your surname Li?" Li Zehai put the glass in his hand to his mouth and took a sip, then nodded and said yes.

Hearing this, Wang Dezhi took a breath and said to Li Zehai: "There was indeed a couple named Li here more than 20 years ago. Because there were relatively few people named Li at that time, I still remember it quite clearly."

After hearing this, Li Zehai's eyes brightened, and he couldn't wait to ask: "If possible, can you tell me their story?"

Wang Dezhi knew the urgency in Li Zehai's heart, and he also knew what the couple surnamed Li went through.

He took a sip from the cup in his hand and said to Li Zehai: "Your parents moved to our place more than 20 years ago, and they are quite close to our house, but it was still the same at that time. This is so good now." After speaking, Wang Dezhi fell into memories.

"The first time I saw them, I thought they were a good match, they looked like a husband and wife, and they were very affectionate and friendly to everyone. People here were originally worried about your parents being foreigners. Yu Huai, but later your parents' kindness made us accept them gradually. Besides, they are all neighbors in the neighborhood, and it didn't take long before they became like a family."

"The couple are very good-natured. If they have any good things, they often send a little to the east and a pound to the west. It's all good intentions. Your mother is very good at handicrafts. When she is free, she will make some snacks or something to give away. To our neighbors, or else to gather and chat with those neighbors in the evening."

Li Zehai was silent, his parents are really nice.

Seeing Li Zehai's silence, Wang Dezhi continued, "Your father is also very kind. Although he was only an employee of a small company in our county at the time, he was very serious about his work. He was often rewarded with valuable things by the superiors. Your father never He is not willing to use it by himself, if someone has something to do, he must be the first to rush over to help. Do you remember these things?"

Speaking of this, Wang Dezhi glanced at Li Zehai, and Li Zehai lowered his head silently. He didn't seem to have much impression of his parents, but he still listened to the words of the old village chief and asked, "To be honest, I don't remember much. , After all, it's been so long, but I still want to know what happened later, and what happened to them?"

Wang Dezhi sighed slightly and said: "Since you want to know, then continue to listen. It's like not liking your parents' kindness. God, it's so hard to let good people live. Those days were I have the clearest part in my memory of your parents." He stopped to take a sip of water, and continued to talk
"An accident happened in the company where your father worked, and all the employees were forced to lay off. Of course, your father was also included, but for some reason, since your father was laid off from there, he has become depressed day by day. It's useless to persuade anyone."

"And your mother comforted him every day or something, and pulled your father out to chat with us when there was nothing to do, but your father didn't cheer up like your mother imagined, and he started drinking. Your mother couldn't persuade him. Every time the neighbors saw your mother crying secretly."

Li Zehai seemed to be able to imagine how desperate his mother must have been at that time, but he did not interrupt the old man in front of him, but continued to listen.

"At that time, it seemed that you were already there, but you were still very young, and your mother couldn't control him, so she had to let him drink, as long as he didn't go out to make trouble after drinking, but it's not a solution every day, you My mother cleverly decided to make clothes to earn some money for the family, otherwise the family would not even be able to eat."

Wang Dezhi's heart was calm as usual. After such a long time, in fact, the matter of Li's father and Li's mother did not have any major impact on him.After listening for so long, Li Zehai still didn't hear what he wanted to hear, so he glanced at the old county magistrate lightly and said, "Actually, I came to you today because I wanted to know why my parents both passed away?"

Wang Dezhi originally didn't want to mention his sad things in front of Li Zehai, but seeing that the child had already asked, he had to say it if he didn't want to.

He slightly raised his eyes and frowned and said: "I don't know how long it has passed, but your mother's time of making clothes here has gradually become longer, and the days have gradually improved. Everyone is happy for them, but the sky is not as expected.

One day when your mother went out early in the morning, your father followed her, wearing the white shirt your mother had just made for him last night, and ran to your mother with a wine bottle in his hand. "

"The business at this time of day is just right and very busy. Many young girls came to take care of her. I was there at the time, but I didn't expect your father to look for your mother while drinking."

"He held the wine bottle in one hand, and greeted your mother who was across the road with the other, and called your mother's nickname with a smile. When your mother saw him, she thought he would not come, so she just smiled at him, and then continued to talk. Make clothes for the girls there."

"Seeing your mother ignoring him, your father walked over here with a dazed smile. Your mother lowered her head and didn't notice a car coming straight from the road here at this time. When she heard that She raised her head when the car honked, but it was too late, when she saw your father had already been hit by the car and flew out."

Wang Dezhi sighed deeply.

"I was there at that time. Your mother's eyes were wide open from the fright, and the needle was stuck in her hand, but she didn't seem to know the pain. She shook her head and didn't believe everything in front of her.

After a long time, I ran over tremblingly and hugged your father's body and called him by name. She cried and said that it was her fault. Only then did everyone realize that they called 120 immediately. Anyone who is on that street has seen it. "

"Your father was covered in blood, and the white shirt on his body was also dyed red. Taking advantage of his last breath, he called your mother's nickname, and then grabbed her hand. Your mother couldn't believe it and cried earth-shatteringly. Take your father's hand and tell him not to leave."

When Wang Dezhi said this, tears flowed involuntarily.But he didn't stop, but wiped away his tears and continued to tell Li Zehai about it.

"At that time, the sky began to overcast, and the rain fell on your parents mercilessly. Your mother hugged your father tightly to prevent a drop of rain from falling on him. Many neighbors took out umbrellas and went to help them hold on."

Although Li Zehai didn't have much impression of his parents, nor did he have much feeling, but he always felt his eyes were a little sore after hearing what the old county magistrate said. In fact, if the protagonist of this story wasn't his parents, he would Also feel a little uncomfortable.

After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "And then?"

When Wang Dezhi said this, his eyes were a little red. He paused and continued: "The rain washed away all the blood that flowed from your father. Your mother shook her head looking at the blood all over the ground. Many neighbors came to comfort her. She sat there hugging your dad without saying a word, and only called his name."

"Actually, your father had already left at that time, but your mother didn't believe it. She didn't stop calling for your father until the sound of the ambulance reached your mother's ears."

"She looked at the doctor getting out of the car as if she saw a life-saving straw, and she grabbed the doctor's white coat with her other free hand and said to save him."

"The doctor looked at your father, but found that he had already left. But looking at your mother's current appearance, he was afraid that she would follow your father, so he had to send your father to the hospital."

"Your mother has never been willing to let go of your father's hand. When she arrived at the hospital, the doctor announced the news of your mother's death. In fact, your mother knew it a long time ago, but she just didn't want to believe it."

"After the doctor left, only your parents were left in the cold ward. Your mother still held your father's hand tightly, and began to mutter his name again. After a while, your mother finally believed in you. The fact that my father left, I cried while saying that you were waiting for me there, and I was going to find you."

"Here is what a little nurse told me. At first, the nurse just thought your mother was overly sad, so she left, but when she came back, your mother had already hit her head to death, but it was the same as before. , Her hand has been tightly holding your father's, and has never let go."

"When we passed, the hospital announced the death of your parents." After saying that, Wang Dezhi drank all the water in his glass.
