The sound of music echoing intermittently in my mind finally gradually weakened.

There seems to be a whirring wind coming from around.

Jiang Tong opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was an old window that was only a table away from him, and the cold wind was blowing into the room along the gap.

She shivered, frowning, and wanted to get out of bed to close the window, but just as she sat up, she unconsciously froze——

Why did her legs get so short that she couldn't even reach her shoes?

Jiang Tong blinked, tried to move her toes, and then found that that little fleshy foot was indeed her own.

what's the situation?

She reached out her hand in surprise, touched her face, then stared at her suddenly shrunken little hand for a long while in silence, and had a guess in her mind.

In order to prove this conjecture, she jumped down hard, stepped on the cold floor with her bare feet, trotted all the way on her short legs, bypassed the big bed, climbed to the dressing table next to her, and held onto her The table stood on tiptoe vigorously——

really.

This face is hers, that's right, she did look like this when she was a child.

She went straight back to her childhood this time.

Jiang Tong stared at herself in the mirror in shock, she blinked, and the little girl in the mirror blinked too, cute and cute.

The high table obviously made her a little bit strenuous, so after a few glances, she let go of her hand, and then heard the door suddenly click... a woman's figure appeared in front of her.

When the woman came in, she found that she was awake, her expression was obviously startled, and she looked like she was taken aback.But she calmed down quickly, with a gentle smile on her face again, came over and hugged her in her arms, then touched her head with a smile.

"Why doesn't Yoyo sleep, and is still messing around here in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Tong let her hug him, pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, then suddenly opened his mouth and called softly: "Mom?"

The woman asked "Huh?" in surprise, and looked down at her: "What's the matter, baby?"

"It's okay." Jiang Tong shook his head, his heart sank after a bang.She forced a stiff smile, raised her little finger and pointed to the window on one side, pretending to be aggrieved and said: "It's not closed, I'm cold."

"Why didn't it close?" Mother Jiang frowned, put her back on the bed, covered the quilt carefully, and then turned to close the window tightly.

After closing the window, Mother Jiang turned around and came back to comfort little Jiangtong, "Okay, isn't it cold now? Baby go to sleep, mom will take you out to play tomorrow."

Jiang Tong lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covered the flash of indifference in her pupils.

She pretended to be obedient and nodded, showing a sweet smile at Mother Jiang, then pulled the quilt and buried her face in it.

Mother Jiang sat aside for a while, and seeing that she fell asleep quickly, she gently touched her head, sighed, and said: "Our Yoyo is the most obedient, and I will always be obedient like this in the future. Ah, eat well and sleep well, and you must not be disobedient."

Her voice became lower and lower, and the two breathing sounds in the room intertwined shallowly.After a long time, Mother Jiang sighed again, pulled the quilt for her, turned and walked out.

Jiang Tong heard the creaking sound of the wooden door, but still didn't move, pretending to be in a deep sleep, but she listened intently to the movement outside with her ears open.

The Jiang family lived in an ordinary one-story house in the early years. The family of four squeezed into this two-bedroom house. Jiang Tong had already forgotten what it looked like here, but she was not in the mood to revisit it at this moment. Look at the environment here.

She knew in her heart that something would happen next, and that thing would completely change the trajectory of her life.

She was waiting for that to happen.

She wanted to see it for herself.

Then keep it firmly in mind.

The sound insulation of this humble bungalow is poor, even through a wall, Mother Jiang's voice can still be heard - because she was speaking from the balcony, and the voice floated directly into Jiang Tong's ears through the crack of the window .

"Did Taotao enjoy playing... Just be happy."

"Yuyou is already asleep, let's talk about it another day if you have anything to do."

"When will you be back? Next week? I see."

"Our house is about to be demolished, I'll pack things up after you come back from playing..."

"Taotao and Yoyo always quarrel, this is not acceptable, we have to find a way."

"Don't worry, I've taken the medicine."

The voice gradually became quieter, and it sounded vaguely. Mother Jiang probably entered the back room.

She closed her eyes and listened quietly, but the only scene she remembered clearly came back to her mind.

Her mother, whose face is unclear in her memory, smashed the dishes all over the floor. If it weren't for the evidence of the traces on the ground, the violent rage just now seemed to have never happened.

The mother lowered her head and hugged the crying Jiang Tao in a low voice to comfort her, her voice was gentler than ever——

"Baby doesn't cry, mother let her go."

"let her go."

"..."

Ten years later, Jiang Tao's face flashed in her mind, and the faint footsteps approached again. Jiang Tong quietly listened to the sound of the door opening and closing, and then felt a pair of slender hands gently squeeze into her back, He picked her up from the bed and held her in his arms.

Most of the children were in deep sleep, so Mother Jiang never suspected that the daughter she was holding was pretending to be asleep.

She found a coat to cover her little daughter, and waited for a while to make sure that her little daughter would not be woken up by the movement, before she lifted her legs and walked outside.

The door squeaked again, and the surrounding air cooled down a little bit. Although the sound of clothes rubbing was faint, it was very ear-piercing in this night.With her eyes closed, she smelled the fragrance from Mother Jiang's body lingering at the tip of her nose, and felt her heart throbbing and hurting.

And the road is incredibly long.

When he was put down again, his back was leaning against a cold hard stone slab. Jiang Tong took a breath and rolled his eyes slightly, as if he was about to wake up, and then he heard the people beside him being frightened Standing up suddenly, he didn't care about her anymore, and hurriedly ran towards the distance.

The hurried footsteps gradually became inaudible after running away. She waited for a while, and then opened her eyes, staring at the figure who was about to completely merge into the night, and suddenly showed a mocking smile.

Gee.

This is her good mother.

This is her... family.

Jiang Tong withdrew her gaze indifferently, turned her head and tried to open her eyes to look at the house number next to her. Considering her current height, it was really difficult for her to read all the words on the sign.

But even if she didn't look at it, she knew that this place was the orphanage she grew up in.

She was abandoned by her mother again.

It was late at night, and the road was quiet. Jiang Tong grabbed the thick coat left by Jiang's mother and wrapped it around her body, and sat silently at the entrance of the orphanage, holding her legs and not talking.

The cold wind at night made her hands and feet icy cold, even though she was covered by a thick coat, the wind could still find a gap to sneak in.

Jiang Tong endured and endured, but still couldn't help rubbing his hands together, and brought his little hand to his mouth to breathe, trying to let it recover some temperature, but failed.

The night in late autumn was really too cold, so cold that her heart was icy cold. Even though she had known this story for a long time, Jiang Tong still felt unreasonably uncomfortable.

Because she was too young, she couldn't remember this memory clearly. She only knew that her mother left herself, and after sleeping and waking up, she would never see her family again, only a strange environment and strange people.

But this time, she could see clearly.

No one has to spend a lifetime with anyone, and the same goes for family members, right?

The wind blew all night, Jiang Tong thought he was going to freeze to death outside, but fortunately, no matter how long the night was, it would always pass.

Just after dawn, the gate of the orphanage opened with a creak - the old director who came out to fetch milk every day was waiting for the milkman with an empty milk bottle in his hand.

As soon as she went out, she saw a little girl sitting in the corner of the door. The little girl was wrapped in a thick coat, but her little face was blue and purple from the cold, and she was shivering.

The old dean was startled, quickly put down the bottle in his hand, and ran over in a few steps.

"Little girl, what about your family?"

Jiang Tong raised his head, looked at the familiar face of the old dean, and couldn't help being dazed.As for her reaction, the old dean had seen enough, so he understood it all at once.

She held the little girl's hand tightly, and couldn't help sighing in her heart——

What a sin!

Without hesitation, she pulled the little girl in front of her to stand up, holding the hands that were as cold as ice, she felt sore in her heart, and asked in a soft voice as much as possible: "Can you tell Auntie, what's your name?" ?”

Jiang Tong grabbed the old dean's hand, shook his head, looked like he didn't want to say anything, and then whispered: "My surname is Jiang."

"This little girl..."

The old dean shook her head, with sympathy and regret in her eyes, then she stretched out her other hand, gently touched the head of the little girl in front of her, knelt down/body up, and pinched her little face again.

"Then can I call you Tongtong? You may live with Auntie in the future." The old dean smiled kindly, his eyes filled with nostalgia, "Auntie's youngest daughter is called Tongtong, you are just like her, Pretty and cute."

Jiang Tong lowered his eyes, did not refute, just smiled and nodded obediently, "Okay."

--OK.

——Mother Liang.
