A fifteen-kilometer journey may only take twenty or thirty minutes in the city, but on a dirt road in a mountainous area, it may take several times that time, especially when it is raining heavily outside.

Xie Wei drove the car carefully and turned the wipers to the maximum.

The Crown Car is like an old man, hobbling slowly along the mountain road.

In the back row, Bai Fei was chatting with her younger brother.

"Mei, who is there in your family?"

"There is grandpa, grandma, dad..."

Through the conversation, Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Fei learned about the family situation of the siblings.

The child's father fell from a scaffolding at a construction site two years ago and became permanently disabled and lost the ability to work. The mother of the two siblings was unable to bear the burden of the family and abandoned her husband and son.

Now the family only relies on the grandparents to do farm work to support the family of five, and life is extremely difficult.

Since their father injured their mother and left home, the siblings have not had breakfast. They have to walk three to four kilometers every day to go to the primary school in the town.

After school, the siblings also help their grandparents with whatever work they can. The twelve-year-old sister is now able to cook, while the ten-year-old brother picks up a pile of waste and goes home every day...

After listening to the story of the siblings, Bai Fei was already in tears and couldn't help crying.

"Mei, Ah Zai, sister will definitely help you." This sentence is more like a promise from Bai Fei.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit sad.

Chen Amei helped Bai Fei wipe away her tears sensibly, "Sister, don't cry, we don't feel the pain."

"Yes, sister, I can earn one or two yuan every day by picking up scraps! I can buy medicine for my father." Chen Azai puffed up his thin chest like a man.

Listening to the children saying what the adults said, Bai Fei became even more sad. She hugged the two children tightly, one in each hand.

Lin Zhiyuan turned around, and in order to prevent the sad atmosphere from spreading faster, he deliberately asked the two siblings about their singing, "Amei, Azai, you two have really never learned to sing? Then how do you sing?" Does it sound so good?"

When talking about this, Amei Chen was a little shy, "Uncle Lin, everyone in our place can sing folk songs. My mother sings well. She has taught me and my brother to sing since we were young..."

As soon as he mentioned his mother, Chen Azai's expression changed. He yelled at his sister angrily: "Don't mention that woman, she doesn't even want us two. She is not our mother."

Amei Chen lowered her head, tears glistening in her eyes.

The little girl didn't cry when she just talked about their hard life, but when she thought of her mother, she finally couldn't control it.

"Bai Ji, I think these two children are very talented in singing. It would be a waste to stay in the mountains. I wonder if there is any school in Yangcheng that can teach them singing? If so, I am willing to sponsor them to go to a professional school. study."

"There should be. I'll ask about it when I get back."

The rain gradually subsided, and after driving for an hour, the Crown Car finally arrived at Yashan Village where the siblings lived.

The road in the village is too narrow for cars to enter.

Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Fei held up two umbrellas and personally escorted the siblings into the village and to their home.

The house the siblings live in is a common dwelling in northern Guangdong, but the walls are mottled and the paint on the wooden doors and windows is almost peeling off. Just from this small detail, you can see how embarrassing this family's life is.

When Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Fei walked to the door of their home with their children, they saw an old woman wearing blue cloth standing under the eaves of the door and looking out anxiously.

"Grandma, we are back." The siblings were like two cheerful birds, flying out from under the umbrella and jumping into the arms of the old grandma.

The old lady spoke a very solemn Cantonese and spoke so fast that Lin Zhiyuan could not understand it at all.

But this warm and touching picture in front of you does not require language. As long as you are a human being, you can understand what the old lady means?

Chen Amei turned around and pointed, "Grandma, it's raining too hard. Uncle Lin and Sister Bai sent us back. We came back in a car. They are both good people, and Uncle Lin even invited us to dinner!" "

A grateful expression appeared on the old woman's face, and she waved desperately to Lin Zhiyuan and Baifei, still speaking in a dialect that Lin Zhiyuan could not understand.

Bai Fei smiled and translated for Lin Zhiyuan, "Old man, please let us two in and sit down."

Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Fei walked into this house.

Although the house is dilapidated, it is kept neatly.

The grandfather of the siblings also came out of the house when they heard the sound. They invited Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Fei into the house as if they were welcoming distinguished guests.

Chen Amei ran into the back room, and soon she pushed out a bamboo chair with wheels installed on the bottom. Sitting on the chair was a middle-aged man with a haggard face. Needless to say, this was Amei and Azai's father.

There was no tea at home, so grandma boiled a pot of water. After apologizing repeatedly, she poured a bowl of hot water for Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Fei.

Grandpa and father accompanied Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Fei to talk.

Grandpa is a typical rural old man. He is not good at talking and only knows how to smile honestly.

Before he was injured, Dad worked in the city and had seen the world. Whenever he talked about these two children, Dad couldn't stop crying.

"It's me who is dragging down the children. Other people's children are loved by their parents and pampered by their elders at this age and don't have to do any work. But my sister and son have to work at a young age to help their grandparents make money to support the family. It's all my fault. ..." The man beat his unconscious legs desperately, looking like he was in agony.

"Dad, don't be like this, we are willing to work..." The siblings rushed to stop their father, and the family burst into tears.

Bai Fei also cried so hard that her face was covered with tears and her makeup was all gone.

Even though Lin Zhiyuan was hard-hearted, he felt sour in his heart when he saw this scene.

"Brother, don't be like this. You should feel lucky that you have such a good couple. Amei and Azai are the most obedient children I have ever seen." Lin Zhiyuan himself felt how feeble his comfort was.

On the other hand, while wiping away her tears, Bai Fei expressed her desire to take her siblings to the city to learn singing.

"Grandpa, grandma, my sister and my son are very talented in singing. I think if they learn singing systematically, they will definitely be successful in the future. I am willing to sponsor them to study in Yangcheng. Do you agree?"

"Agree, agree. People in the village say that Amei and Azai are larks. If they can follow you to the city to learn singing, then you will be the great benefactors of our family." The old woman said and was about to give Bai Fei and Lin Zhiyuan Kneel down.

Lin Zhiyuan, with quick eyesight and quick hands, helped the old lady up.

"Grandma, please don't do this. This is what we should do."

The man sitting on the bamboo chair covered his face with his hands, tears flowing from his fingers.

Lin Zhiyuan made an agreement with the family at that time to find a school where he could learn to sing as soon as possible after returning to Yangcheng. After the news was confirmed, they would come to pick up Amei and Azai after the Chinese New Year.

It was getting late. Lin Zhiyuan and Bai Fei refused the family's request to stay for dinner. Before leaving, Lin Zhiyuan left his phone number and all the money in his pocket, which was about seven or eight thousand. look.

Amei and Azai reluctantly sent Lin Zhiyuan and Baifei to the entrance of the village, and the two children burst into tears.

Lin Zhiyuan touched the heads of the siblings and said, "Be filial to your grandparents and dad. My uncle will come to pick you up after the Chinese New Year."
