Then disappeared without a trace.

He Long's tears flowed down uncontrollably.

……

"Hey~ Brother He Long, this is the slingshot that Brother He Qiu asked me to hide."

Tao Zi took out a slingshot wrapped in lotus leaves from the big tree hole in front of the door, and handed it to He Long.

It turned out that the reason why He Qiu broke the glass that day was to show off his slingshot with Taozi, and he missed and broke his own glass, and then ran away with Taozi.

"Thank you, Taozi." He Long took it cherishingly.

Then he handed the elf contract card in his hand to Tao Zi, "I'll give this to you."

Tao Zi looked up at He Sihai.

He Sihai nodded, and Tao Zi happily took it.

These colorful cards are much more attractive to little girls than slingshots.

"Thank you Brother He Long."

"you are welcome."

Holding the slingshot tightly, He Long turned and walked down the slope.

He Sihai opened his mouth to stop him, but suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say.

"Woooo..."

Holding the slingshot, He Long whimpered all the way.

He was just an eight-year-old after all.

As soon as Ma Chunhua came back from the shop with a bag of salt, she saw He Long head-on, with a slightly unhappy expression on her face.

He Qiu's death hit her and her family hard.

But seeing him sobbing incessantly, with tears soaking a large piece of clothes on his chest, he felt slightly sad, seeing the slingshot he was holding in his arms, there was nothing he didn't understand.

"Ah~"

She sighed deeply.

Before He Qiu died, He Long often came to her house to play, and sometimes ate and slept in her house.

The relationship between the two has always been good.

but……

"He Long, what's the matter with you?" Ma Chunhua walked up and asked.

"Aunt Ma."

When He Long saw him, he, who was sobbing softly, rushed into Ma Chunhua's arms and cried loudly.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, Auntie doesn't blame you anymore." Ma Chunhua patted his back lightly.

But He Long couldn't stop crying, tears soon wet Ma Chunhua's clothes.

……

Later I heard that Ma Chunhua gave birth to another son.

This son is very obedient and obedient. He is naturally afraid of water, and even less so when it comes to swimming.

Like his elder brother, he became very good friends with He Long.

……

Name: He Qiu

Birth Date: Renchen Year, Jiachen Month, Jihai Day, Sishi Five

Wish: fulfilled

Remuneration: swimming skills

Chapter 15 Farewell

"These clothes can no longer be worn. When my brother goes to the city, he will buy them for you again, and then they will be sent to the fourth grandpa's house."

He Sihai said while packing Taozi's things.

Tao Zi stood by and lowered her head, listening obediently.

He Sihai knew that she didn't want to leave by herself.

But why is he willing?

But how can you not go out to work?I made a little money by working part-time for a few months before. Not only did my grandma’s funeral expenses go away, but I also owed some more.

So, according to his grandmother's wishes, he first fostered Tao Zi at the fourth grandpa's house.

With fourth grandpa taking care of him, he felt relieved.

Two days ago, he had already discussed this matter with the fourth grandfather, and the fourth grandfather had already agreed.

And this morning, He Sihai was going back to the city to resume work, and by the way, he also sent Taozi to the fourth grandpa's house.

He Sihai patted her head, and said: "At the fourth grandpa's house, you must be obedient."

"Yeah." Tao Zi responded in a low voice.

"Okay, don't be sad. Fourth grandpa has a mobile phone. I will call you every week. If you miss me, you can ask fourth grandpa to call me..."

He Sihai squatted down, and saw that Taozi, who was touching his head, had his mouth deflated, his eyes flushed, and he tried hard not to let his tears fall.

"Ah~"

He sighed deeply.

Then he stood up, picked up Taozi's luggage, and dragged her to the door.

Locking the door, and walking down the slope, He Sihai finally couldn't help but look back.

Almost all the memories of his childhood are carried here, including joy and sorrow.

But now the house is deserted.

Will this family fail?

He didn't know it himself.

……

Along the way, Taozi lowered her head and remained silent.

But He Sihai could feel the strength of her little hand holding him tightly.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Fourth Grandpa was already waiting for him.

There is also He Jiabao from the same village.

A motorcycle is parked next to it.

He is going to Baiyang Town to take a bus to Huanzhou City this morning.

So He Sihai was going to go on He Jiabao's motorcycle.

"Fourth Grandpa, Jiabao." He Sihai walked over and greeted the two of them.

"Tao Zi, come, come to Fourth Grandpa." Fourth Grandpa pulled Tao Zi by his hand.

But Tao Zi grabbed He Sihai and didn't let go.

"Taozi, my brother is going out to work to earn money, so you have to be obedient." Fourth Grandfather said with a sigh.

"I'm a good boy." Tao Zi whispered.

Then finally couldn't help it, tears flowed silently down his cheeks.

"Okay, Tao Zi, don't cry, my brother will be back soon, and every month from now on, my brother will come back to see Tao Zi, okay?" He Sihai hurriedly knelt down and coaxed.

"But...but..."

Tao Zi wanted to say that a month would take so long, she couldn't even count it.

Grandma told her every time that her brother would come back soon, but she still waited for a long time.

"Okay, just leave Taozi to me. You can go with Jiabao. If this continues, you won't be able to leave today."

The fourth grandfather said, and took the salute from He Sihai's peach.

As for He Sihai's luggage, it was just a simple backpack.

He didn't bring many things with him when he came back this time, just a few changes of clothes.

He Sihai also knew that going on like this was not a problem, not to mention that He Jiabao was still waiting by the side, he couldn't let him wait forever, could he?

So she let go of Tao Zi, handed her little hand to Fourth Grandpa, and said softly, "Tao Zi, be obedient."

Taozi raised her head with tears in her eyes, glanced at him, and then nodded obediently.

He Sihai was a little afraid to look at her, afraid that if this continued, he would really be reluctant to leave.

"Fourth Grandpa, you take the 1000 yuan. When I'm not around, you help me buy some delicious food for Taozi. From now on, I will give you 1000 yuan every month, which can be regarded as Taozi's food expenses."

After the 1000 yuan was given to the fourth grandfather, He Sihai only had more than 100 yuan left on him. Excluding the fare in Huanzhou City, he might have problems eating for a while.

But no matter what, you can suffer yourself, but you can't suffer peaches.

"What do you mean? Look down on your fourth grandpa, don't you? Peach is so small, how much can you eat? Pay for the food, you take it back to me."

Grandpa Fourth pushed back angrily.

"Fourth Grandpa, don't be like this. If you don't take it, I will feel uneasy. You should still take the money and buy some delicious and fun things for Tao Zi."

The two declined for a while.

In the end, He Jiabao became a little impatient.

"Fourth Master, since Si Hai insists, you can take it. It costs money to raise a child."

He Sihai took the opportunity to stuff the money into the fourth grandpa's pocket.

"Oh, that's fine, I'll take it first and return it when you come back."

Fourth Grandpa is going to help He Sihai save it, he will still have plenty of places to use the money in the future.

Seeing that Fourth Grandpa had collected the money, He Jiabao immediately greeted him, "Si Hai, let's go."

Then step on the motorcycle and hit the accelerator.

The sound of the accelerator pedal seemed to be urging He Sihai to hurry up.

He Sihai glanced at the peach that had been being pulled by the fourth grandfather all the time, looking up at him with his neck up.

Her big eyes were full of grievance and expectation.

but……
