There are some corns piled in the yard, which have been dried in the sun and have not yet taken off their stalks.

On the side of the yard, on the steps by the eaves, sat a middle-aged man, wearing black trousers, with some plaster on his trousers, his hands were a little rough, and he was rolling a roll of dried tobacco in his hand, looking out But looking into the distance, is silent, lost in thought,

"...The head of the house, peel some corn and feed the chickens."

In the main room, a woman wearing an apron came out. While talking to the middle-aged man, she wiped her red eye sockets with her sleeves.

"...Eh." Hearing the voice, the man stood up, nodded his head in response, then turned around, bent down, picked up a corn, silently, and peeled the corn with his rough hands.

The woman wiped her eyes, moved her steps, and walked out of the yard.

"...the child's mother... daughter-in-law." The man couldn't help being silent for a while, and then changed his sentence, "You are going to... the mountain."

"...I went to see him, it's been a year today..." As she spoke, the woman's eyes turned red again,

"Let me go too." After a moment of silence, the man stood up and said.

"...You are not allowed to go!" The woman was a little excited when she heard this, "If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you, how could Xiaomu..."

As she spoke, the woman gradually controlled her emotions again, but her eyes turned red again,

"...I'll go by myself, you can feed the chicken."

Saying go, the woman turned around and walked out of the yard,

And the middle-aged man was silent, sat down again,

"...Daughter-in-law... what to have for lunch, I'll make it ready and wait for you to come back." The middle-aged man shouted at the woman again,

Hearing the sound, the woman paused, but did not reply, and then continued to walk out of the yard.

……

Seeing the woman passing by quickly and walking towards the distant mountain, Lian Ge paused, looking back at the middle-aged man by the yard,

The middle-aged man sat down again by the yard, lowered his head, looked at the corn in front of him, fell silent for a while, then picked up the herbal cigarette that he had just rolled from the side,

I don't smoke, I just twist it with my hands, silent and fascinated.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the little boy beside him again,

The little boy was still staring at the middle-aged man in a daze, also dazed,

After a pause, Lian Ge moved his steps again, bypassing the corn spread in the yard, and walked into the yard. The little boy followed closely, staring blankly, and walked forward step by step.

"...Brother, I'm a passing tourist. I'm really thirsty here. I don't know if I can drink some water."

Lian Ge approached and said aloud,

And this middle-aged man was in a daze, it seemed that after Lian Ge uttered his voice, he realized Lian Ge in front of him,

Raising his head, the middle-aged man glanced at Lian Ge, then stood up,

"wait."

Nodding his head, the middle-aged man didn't say much, and walked into the main room behind him.

……

Not long after, the man took a bowl, took a bowl of water and walked to the door of the main room,

Looking at Lian Ge again, the man handed the bowl to Lian Ge,

"...It's hot, come in and have a seat."

As the man spoke, he stepped aside and sat down on the steps outside the main room. He took the corn and peeled it without saying a word.

Lian Ge took the water bowl and walked into the shady place under the eaves and on the steps,

"Thank you……"

After saying thanks, Lian Ge took a sip of the water in the bowl, and at the same time looked into the main room through the main room door,

In the main room, the furnishings are very simple, there is only a square table, a few benches beside the square table, and a few yellowed wall paintings on the wall.

And on that square table, there was a photo frame. The photo frame looked different from the old ones around it. It looked brand new and seemed to be well protected.

And the photo embedded in the photo frame is the little boy next to Lian Ge, but it looks a little smaller than the little boy, and it seems that it was taken earlier.

"...Brother, this is your child, doesn't he look eight or nine years old?"

Lian Ge took a sip of water, looked at the photo, and said aloud.

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man stopped peeling the corn.

Chapter 238 I didn't take it

In silence, the middle-aged man turned around and looked at the photo in the frame from afar, a little lost in thought,

"...It's time to turn 13 this year."

After a long time, the middle-aged man turned his gaze back, lowered his head, rubbed the corn cobs with his hands, and said aloud,

"You're so old, should you go to junior high school?"

Lian Ge held the water bowl, looked at the man again, and said aloud.

After the voice fell, the middle-aged man paused again, and the yard suddenly became quiet.

"...No, no..."

The man put down the corn in his hand, picked up the rolled tobacco on the side, and after saying something, fell silent again,

Holding the cigarette, he wanted to put it in his mouth, but he got half of it in his hand and put it down again.

"Brother, you can smoke if you want, I don't mind." Lian Ge said while looking at the middle-aged man while holding a water bowl.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head, put the cigarette aside,

"He doesn't like me smoking, I feel choked..."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man fell silent again.

Lian Ge turned his gaze, and then glanced at the little boy next to him,

The little boy who stood there in a daze, his nose twitched a little, and his dull eyes showed grievance again.

……

"...It's gone. There were no people around this time last year." The middle-aged man didn't peel the corn any more, but just looked into the distance, dazed, and said,

Lian Ge listened to the middle-aged man's words, but didn't answer. He just sat down on the steps with a water bowl in his hand.

"... At this time last year, and on this day, he was in this yard, peeling corn with me, and the child's mother called me from the house, saying that the child's teacher called..."

The middle-aged man didn't look back, just looked into the distance, and said the words that he didn't know how long he had been holding back in his heart, as if he had fallen into memories,

Lian Ge was also sitting on the steps, drinking water from the water bowl, looking into the distance, listening quietly,

"...I let him continue peeling the corn in the yard. He deserved it well, just sitting on that little stool...It was cold in the mountains, so I specially dressed him in thick clothes for fear that he would catch a cold...

I went into the house, went to answer the phone,

As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard his class teacher tell me angrily, saying that the child had taken other people's things... I asked carefully, and his teacher told me that he took the watch of a classmate in front of him and returned it to me. Another classmate also saw that he got it.

Now the parents bring their children to the school and ask the child to take someone else's watch and return it to someone else, otherwise they will lose money...The watch costs more than 2000, which is harvested in the field for several months..."

"...Our family is poor, but no matter how poor we are, we can't be poor in ambition, and no matter how poor we are, we can't take other people's things, do stealthy things, and violate our conscience."

The middle-aged man looked into the distance and said.

"...I didn't, I didn't take it! I didn't take it..."

Listening to his father's words, the little boy who was standing aside in a daze cried, aggrieved, and cried out,

But this voice can only be heard by Lian Ge.

"...I hung up the phone and was very angry, so I went to the yard and lifted him up from the stool."

Having said that, the middle-aged man closed his eyes, his eyes turned red,

"... I asked him if he took someone else's things, took someone else's watch, he said no... I told him, your classmates said they saw you got it, and your teacher called home No matter how poor our family is, we can't steal other people's things...

I asked him to take it out and asked him where he hid it...

He still said no, didn't take it... I saw that he didn't admit it at this point, and was very angry, so I slapped him hard. "

Saying that, the middle-aged man closed his eyes, tears flowed from his sockets,

Lian Ge sat at the side, drank the water in the bowl, and glanced at the slap print on the face of the little boy who was wronged and crying again,

"...then he cried, broke away from my hand, and yelled at me crying, saying that he didn't take it, he didn't take it...I hit him...his mother was crying and pulling me...let me I will stop beating the children."

"... I took the bamboo stick, looked at the child who was out of breath from crying, and still refused to admit it, and the child who was pulling me by the side... I gave myself two hard blows, I felt that I It's useless...it's useless at all!"

The middle-aged man closed his eyes, tears kept flowing,

"...I threw the bamboo strips away and went into the main room...then, then...the child ran away, and ran out of the house."

"...The child's mother ran into the main room, came to pull me, and told me to chase the child, but I didn't move...The child's mother chased after him... After a while, I chased after him."

"When I was about to catch up with him, he was already on the mountain road. He was crying all the way and walking forward. I yelled at him to let him come back... The child's mother also cried and ran towards him. In the past, let him come back...

He turned around, cried and yelled at me, saying that he didn't take other people's things, that we didn't believe him, and that he would never come back...

After finishing speaking, he ran towards the front... At that moment, a car came on the road... I just looked at him, and I watched him being knocked off the cliff... When I found him, People are gone. "

As he spoke, the middle-aged man closed his eyes and raised his head, tears gushed out of his eyes again.

"...After finishing his business, I took the money from the driver's lost money and went to find the person who lost the watch... He told me that later he found that his child's watch was not lost. In his own bag..."

"I'm useless...I'm a piece of trash! I'm useless...I don't trust him, I don't believe him..."

The middle-aged man was talking, clenched his rough hands tightly, and slammed his fist on the steps, scratching the skin on the back of his hands.

……

Listening to the middle-aged man's words, Lian Ge held the water bowl in his hand, then turned his gaze to the little boy standing beside him,

The little boy cried aggrievedly, wiped his tears with his hands, and was excited, still crying, repeating what he said before.

……

"...So, brother, why didn't you trust your own child before, and instead trusted outsiders?"

Turning his gaze away and taking a sip of water, Lian Ge looked into the distance and asked calmly.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man fell silent, looked into the distance,

For a long time, tears welled up from the eyes again,

"...The family is poor, others look down on us, if we lose something, we think we stole it, and we also look down on ourselves..."

With tears streaming down his face, the man clenched his fists and said,

"...I'm useless, it's all my fault, it's all my fault... I don't even believe my own child, I don't even believe my own child... He told me that he didn't take it, but I still beat him..."

……

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, stood up again,

Holding the water bowl, Lian Ge moved away from the middle-aged man and the little boy again,

"Edict..."

Driven by mana, Lian Singer waved,

"...I didn't take it! I didn't take other people's things, I didn't take other people's watches...Why did you hit me, why did you wrong me...Why don't you believe me, you don't believe me!"

A crying voice sounded in the yard,

This time, Lian Ge was no longer the only one who could hear it.

The middle-aged man heard the voice deep in his memory, turned his head suddenly, looked to the side,

The familiar figure came into view instantly, and tears welled up in the eyes of the middle-aged man.

"...I was wrong, dad was wrong, dad was wrong..."
