unexpected person

There is a disease in the world that everyone doesn't want to encounter, but most people can't avoid it-the disease of poverty.Wei Zhi has known this disease for many years, and now it has eased a little, but only a little.

In a small dwelling, two grandpas and grandchildren live in it, with a mezzanine in between.

Cozy?No, warmth can be seen from a small room, but what if the kitchen, toilet, bedroom and living room are all crowded together, with no privacy and no distance?

Survival has long forced people into the worst category.

"Mother-in-law, your clothes to hang wet the sheets again."

Wei Zhi picked up the wet sheet, still dripping.How do you sleep in winter?My mother-in-law has rheumatism again.

"Ah?" Granny Wei looked at him innocently, coquettishly.

Alas, that's what happens when people get old, they become more and more like children.

"It's okay, you should cook quickly, or the food will get mushy." Wei Zhi wrung out the bed sheet, and set up two sticks to hang in the room.

Sure enough, the vegetables were mushy.

Granny Wei looked at Wei Zhi in bewilderment, reaching out her hand to pour the food down.However, Wei Zhi added a bowl of rice and ate it on his own, and said while eating, "You remember to make noodles later, and break an egg, so you don't want to eat this."

Granny Wei nodded obediently, she wanted to say something but didn't say it, she forgot what to say.

When I came back at night, the sheets were already half dry. Granny Wei cleaned the toilet carefully, and accidentally spilled urine on the floor.Wei Zhi hated unclean toilets the most, Granny Wei remembered this.There was a time when the mother-in-law forgot to flush the toilet, Wei Zhi lost his temper very rarely, and one of Wei Zhi's recreational activities during the holidays was to clean the toilet, and it was clean without any smell.

Wei Zhi ignored her, put away his schoolbag and sat on the floor to review, what should I say?Books are probably the dirtiest items in this home.

Three 10 minutes to memorize and silently write "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" and "Encouraging Learning", rest for 5 minutes, recite comprehensive politics for one hour, wash for 5 minutes, and read forty words before going to bed.Before Zhang Jin broke into his world, Xueba's home study schedule was as above.But now Wei Zhi is holding "History of the Peloponnesian War", sitting by the landline and waiting for "fortune".

The power of love~

Granny Wei covered her mouth and smiled beside her, very shy.Embarrassed by the laugh, Wei Zhi turned his back, his ears blushing.

"Ain't nothing done and two temples, I sigh that the time will never come back—" the old Beijing opera accent came over the phone.

"Hello? What are you doing?"

……

Accidents are like gods.They can lift you up to heaven, but they can throw you down to hell.

Friday was an early holiday, and Wei Zhi went back early.Mother-in-law is not at home.

My first reaction was to tell myself that she was going for a stroll. In the morning, I still remembered that my mother-in-law brought buns for him and told him to eat them while they were hot. My mother-in-law also went out on Fridays before.

Wei Zhi remembered Zhang Jin's promise to sleep together today, and waited for her mother-in-law to come back and tell her.

But Wei Zhi finally noticed something was wrong around eight o'clock.My mother-in-law never came home so late, and sometimes she followed me or Zhang's mother.

Wei Zhi hurriedly ran downstairs to ask the housekeeper.

Auntie usually has a very bad attitude. After all, there is no renter who likes to procrastinate.

"Aunt Ding, have you seen my mother-in-law?" Wei Zhi ran in a hurry, he asked out of breath, "Your mother-in-law? Your mother-in-law didn't stay in the house? What are you doing out here?" The woman yawned and stretched, Rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Have you been sleeping all afternoon? Didn't you see her go out?

"What about the morning?" Wei Zhi changed his tone instantly, like a desperate killer.

The woman woke up in shock and shook her head dully.

Wei Zhi asked several people downstairs one after another,

"Oh, your grandma! She said she went out to throw out the trash and brought a small bag."

"Grandma Wei? Granny Wei gave me candy. You didn't!"

"Mrs. Wei, she went back after throwing out the trash. I don't know if she came out or not."

"Mother-in-law, I remember, I called her, but she didn't answer me!"

"Where did she go?"

"That's right there!" The child pointed to the surface of the guide.

Over there is the train station, leading to... leading to Dad's.

Wei Zhi ran towards the train station.

"You're lying, it's obviously over there." Seeing that Wei Zhi had gone away, the child's little friend accused him.

And the child began to cry, and cried out:

"It's over there, that's over there! From what I saw, Granny Wei didn't talk to me."

The little friend gave him a blank look.

Wei Zhi searched for it at the train station all night.

He dialed a series of numbers that he was too familiar with, and left a message.

"Hello, I'm Wei Zhi. Grandma can't be found. She may have boarded the train and is going to your place. If she gets to your place, call me back and I'll pick it up."

"--beep"

Wei Zhi hung up the phone and stood blankly on the street.At eight o'clock in the morning in the winter, the fog in the town is thick, blurring the buildings and houses, and moistening the faces of pedestrians.

After wiping his face, Wei Zhi became much more awake.

I can't find it like this.

No.

I need someone to help.

Who to look for?

Zhang Ma didn't say much after answering the phone, and called Zhang Jin to Wei Zhi's house.

When we arrived, Wei Zhi was sitting at home listening to the phone, his expression was completely wrong, and it was frighteningly cold.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jin had already taken Zhang's mother away, and posted missing person notices all over the city.People called one after another, but most of them said when they saw it.After calling the police at night, the police sorted out the information and adjusted the surveillance, but they still found nothing.

The second day of disappearance.Wei Zhi waited for each call, asked patiently, and thanked Zhang Jin for sending money.This process is numb and boring, every hope is followed by deeper despair.

Later, the police also intervened in the collection to rule out those fraudulent activities, and some useful information was very little.

The next day, Wei Zhi was forced by Zhang's mother to stay at Zhang's house to rest, accompanied by Zhang Jin.

Wei Zhi lying on the bed was silent for a long time.

Zhang Jin took off her clothes and squeezed into the bed. After a while, she quietly held Wei Zhi's hand. Wei Zhi trembled, and then wrapped her arms around that hand with clear bones, which was not weak.

Wei Zhi closed his eyes.He remembered the accent of the man on the phone.Unfamiliar Cantonese, blunt tone, evasive topics, long silence.That's his dad.Even though he has been away from home for more than ten years, the transfer money is still less than [-] yuan, and Wei Zhi just faces it silently when he has another home away from home.Sensible, well-behaved and capable.

Living with the mother-in-law, I don't know whether the mother-in-law will accompany her more or Wei Zhi will accompany the old man more.In the first half of his life, the old man was full of glory, proud of the spring breeze, and his family was happy. It is chilling to see such a scene when he is old.

The lips were cold and slippery, and the temperature rose inadvertently.Wei Zhi closed his eyes and let Zhang Jin move.

And what Zhang Ma saw when she came back was this scene: her son was lying on top of the Wei family kid, shaking his head, and the quilt was constantly rising and falling.
