snuggle alone

Chen Moran was a poor orphan sponsored by Zhao You's parents in his early years, until he graduated from university.It is said that the origin is quite deep.

Zhao You's father was a businessman, and it happened that in the early years, there was a year full of disasters. Not to mention the failure in his career, even people were implicated to some extent, and his life was almost lost in it. Fortunately, there was no danger, and Zhao You's family was terrified.

Grandma Zhao You is a very Buddhist believer. She has been eating fast and reciting Buddhist scriptures in front of the altar all these years, so the old lady said that it was probably the Buddha's manifestation, thanking the Buddha for saving his life, and doing more good deeds.

Indeed, recalling this incident, it is strange to say.

Zhao You was 8 years old that year, and his father was away from home for the Chinese New Year, so he naturally wanted to go home.I booked the train ticket early in the morning and planned to come back, but all the business was put aside, as if I didn't care about it.But the night before getting on the bus, Zhao You's grandmother insisted that she had a dream. In the dream, she dreamed that Master Guanyin told his son to come back after New Year's Eve. He didn't say anything, just smiled at the corner of his mouth, with a mysterious look of saving all sentient beings, and then he left on the auspicious cloud, and Grandma Zhao You woke up all of a sudden.

In a hurry overnight, she hurriedly called her elder son with the BP machine, saying that she would come back later, because Guanyin had dreamed.

Zhao You's father was extremely filial. Hearing his old lady's words, he obediently changed his life, eagerly looking forward to the date of his return home.

Coincidentally, something happened to the train that Zhao You's father was supposed to be going to. It was reported on TV that due to various reasons, there were heavy casualties.The whole family was terrified in front of the TV, and it took a long time to come back to their senses!Amitabha, Amitabha.

Speaking of which, Zhao You's father is the only son in the family, and he is still the eldest, with two younger sisters. □□Traditional families are patriarchal, and Zhao You’s family is of course not exempt from the custom. In Zhao You’s generation, Zhao You is the only child of the old Zhao family, and Zhao You’s two aunts gave birth to both It's a girl, not to mention the water splashed by the married daughter, even if she gave birth to a boy, she can no longer be regarded as a member of the old Zhao family.

Zhao You is a collection of thousands of pets, Zhao You and Zhao You's father are the two big treasures on the heart of the old lady of the Zhao family.At this time of Chinese New Year, if this kind of thing happens, the old lady will not eat well, and will not sleep well.

In the [-]s, the horn of the national family planning was extremely loud and sounded, and it was carried through the motherland's rivers and lakes, and people from all over the country responded one after another.

Zhao You's mother, Hu Liwen, loves children very much, but she herself is an agency/office/cadre. As a leader, she must first set an example, so the idea of ​​having a second child was abruptly killed in the cradle.Moreover, shortly after Hu Liwen gave birth to Zhao You, she was forced to have a tubal ligation (tied) operation. She will never want to have children in this life, let alone a boy, and it is impossible to have a girl.

As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune.Although Zhao You's father's incident was a false alarm, it still made the old lady of the Zhao family think about it. "Do more good deeds" can't just be said casually, so the matter of subsidizing poor children has been intensively planned.

This matter was done very quickly, Zhao You's parents didn't want to go through any charitable organization, especially Zhao You's father was a savvy thief in terms of money, fearing that the donated money would not be used in the right place, but would benefit others in vain.

So under the introduction of an acquaintance, I went to the valley below to choose a one-on-one sponsorship object, and that child is now Chen Moran.At that time, Chen Moran was not called Chen Moran, but Chen Mo.He has no father and no mother, and he lives with his blind grandma. The child is very sensible, and he is very good at studying. He is also taking care of his grandma who is handicapped.

Chen Mo has won the honorary title of "Three Good Students" every year. The rows of awards on the dilapidated walls of his house almost blind people's eyes.But when he was in the third grade of elementary school, his family really had no money to continue his studies. Usually, people from all walks of life helped him, but it was not a long-term solution, and he was about to drop out of school and go home.

It happened that through various connections, someone in the village connected Zhao You's parents for this lonely pair of grandparents, and this allowed little Chen Mo to continue his studies.

When Hu Liwen saw Chen Mo for the first time, she said that she was destined for this child, and immediately fell in love with that black, thin, cat-like little boy with big bright eyes.

It may be in response to the saying "good people get rewarded", since then, Zhao You's father's business has really gone smoothly, and it has been a thriving scene.In addition to the fixed annual fee, Zhao You's family will send extra money and daily necessities to Chen Mo during the holidays, so Chen Mo and his grandma's life will be guaranteed.Chen Mo's grandma taught Chen Mo since he was a child that he should repay Zhao You's kindness when he grows up. Chen Mo has kept his grandma's words in his heart since he was a child.

It may be that as she grows older, Hu Liwen is more fond of children than she was when she was young. Whenever she has free time, she has to talk about how lonely her family Zhao You is as an only child. In case the child grows up and goes to university in the future , she and her husband are even more tired of seeing each other.

But after thinking about it, she remembered Chen Molai, whom her family sponsored, and she already had a tendency to treat Chen Mo as half a son in her heart.

Hu Liwen's husband is busy with business, and it is always difficult to have time to rest.So when Hu Liwen had nothing to do, even though the mountain road was not easy to walk, occasionally she would go to the mountain valley below to see Chen Mo's child by herself or with Zhao You, and she would also care about the child's studies by the way.

Not to mention, that kid Chen Mo is really up to the mark, his grades are top one, he is about the same age as Zhao You, his academic performance is always at the top, since he went to school, he hasn’t even passed the No. have a soft spot.This made Hu Liwen proud from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time worried about her own son's academic performance.

So Chen Mo is naturally a positive teaching material compared with Zhao You, who doesn't study hard. Zhao You will dislike Chen Mo very much. His own grades are not the worst, but they are definitely not excellent. At most, they are at the bottom. It just happens to be at the middle and lower level of the upper level, which is to say in other schools, that is, when the transcripts are issued after the exam, the chances of being read will increase and the number of times will increase.

But in his house, because of the existence of Chen Mo as a "child from other people's family", his mother would miss him every day. The little boy who missed him had no self-esteem at all, but he didn't dare to talk back to his mother.

So every time he came to the mountains, he was very reluctant, but no matter how unwilling, his strong mother would always find a way to force him to submit obediently. At this time, Zhao You felt more resentment in his heart, so when he saw Chen Mo, it was a He didn't give Chen Mo a good look either.

Chen Mo didn't dare to go up to talk to Zhao You, and the two children played their own way when they met and never communicated.At that time, Zhao You's mother, Hu Liwen, only thought that both children were born.

The relationship between the two lasted until they graduated from elementary school.After entering junior high school, I don't know whether it was Zhao You who was trying to be strong or something else. Maybe it was because the child was growing up, and he cared about his little self-esteem, and wanted to compete for praise in front of his mother.

Zhao You consciously paid close attention to his studies, and his grades improved by leaps and bounds. It seemed that he had the momentum to squeeze into the ranks of top students. Neighbors can't help bragging.

Zhao You also had a small sense of accomplishment in his heart, and when he went to the mountains again, he didn't hate that Chen Molai who had always had good grades.

When the two meet again, Zhao You will also talk to Chen Mo in a good mood. Young people are always easy to get acquainted with each other. Children, especially boys, how can there be so much hatred? heart.

It was also at that time that Zhao You realized for the first time that Chen Mo was not as silent as his name suggested, but he had never talked to him before, so he had the preconceived illusion that he was just taciturn.

In the past, his mother forced him to go to the mountains, but now he is the one who proposes to go to the mountains when he has nothing to do.It made Hu Liwen think that the child's personality had changed drastically.

In fact, my personality has not changed, but my way of seeing people has changed.However, Hu Liwen is also very happy with her son's change. It is always right that her child is willing to be with three good students, so she looks more and more pleasing to Chen Mo.Hey, the author thinks that Chen Mo is better described by the most popular word nowadays, that is, "student master".

Zhao You's father had a rare free time today, the family of three went to visit Chen Mo in the mountains, and took a lot of novelty gadgets that can only be found in the city.

Hu Liwen has long liked this child very much, and had secretly discussed with her husband countless times before whether to consider adopting a godson.

At this time, Hu Liwen arched her husband's arm with her elbow without a trace, and her husband would agree. In front of Chen Mo's only relative, his grandmother, she said: "I want Chen Mo to be his godson. I wonder if the old man is willing." Grandma Chen Mo was naturally happy when she heard that, she knelt down on the ground with a "plop", fumbled and tried to pull Chen Mo beside her to kneel down together, but found nothing, and the old lady yelled into the air: "Not so fast! Get down on your knees and call your godfather and godmother." Chen Mo was still fiddling with something new in his hand, when his grandma called out, he also made a "plop" like a conditioned reflex, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed at Hu Liwen and her husband. He made three loud beeps, raised his head, and Qi Qi called out "Godfather and Godmother" with red eyes.At this time, the old lady also cried out excitedly, chanting "good man, I met a good man...", and hugged her grandson.

Hu Liwen was also heartbroken, she fell on her husband, her head plunged into his arms, and her shoulders twitched, which showed that she was really moved.Zhao You's father kept saying, "Okay, okay, I, Zhao Guoqing, have two sons now."

So just like that, Zhao You had a brother.He was present at the time, but he didn't react the most. When his mother took Chen Mo's hand and put it in Zhao You's palm, he said, "Speaking of it, you were born in the same year, and Chen Mo is a month younger than you. What is this?" He really has a younger brother." Zhao You didn't understand, but he knew that Chen Mo's hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, so he couldn't tell what feeling he was feeling.

Then Hu Liwen really played the role of Chen Mo's mother seriously. First, she changed Chen Mo's name to "Chen Moran", saying that the life of the child is neither bitter nor bitter, and she only hopes to have a calm and detached temperament. Good morals are fine.

Grandma Chen Mo is uneducated, but she also thinks that her grandson's new name sounds good, and she is very grateful, with a crying and smiling face, which makes people see indescribably moved.

In fact, Zhao You had only thought about the name "Moran" now.

What is indifferent and detached? It's all just to bluff uneducated people. His mother's mind is not afraid that Chen Moran will grow up in the future and want to divide his family's property. It's useless to think about it, right? What legal procedures, if there are any disputes or lawsuits, of course they cannot be protected, so women have a lot of thoughts, especially married women who have children, they are all focused on their little ones. At home, is that the kind of meaning of "dedicate yourself to death".

Chen Moran is really upbeat, the older he gets, the more indifferent he becomes.

Hu Liwen originally planned to take Chen Moran to live with him at his house, but Chen Moran had an idea, so she didn't agree, because his grandma couldn't see him when he left, and he was worried that no one would take care of him.When Hu Liwen thought about it, she accepted the child's filial piety, and felt even more in her heart that she was right about Chen Moran, who was affectionate and righteous.

Since Hu Liwen recognized this godson, her whole face became more and more radiant, and she ran more frequently in the mountains, and her son Zhao You never failed.

The two children often meet. When they meet, they either discuss and study together, or read all kinds of children's books that Zhao You brought from the city, or play with the latest toys together. The revolutionary friendship breaks the worldliness of class, has nothing to do with money, only love and hate , and quickly developed into a pair of close friends.

Zhao You's family is rich, so the era of "upstairs and downstairs, lights and telephones" has long been realized in his family.When he was still in primary school, his family had already installed a telephone, which was very dignified.

As for the small mountain village where Chen Moran lived, the only telephone was installed when Chen Moran was in high school, and that telephone was in the office of the village committee.

Sometimes when Hu Liwen was too busy to go to the mountains, she would call her godson to care about his living conditions, whether he was short of money, his grandma's physical condition, and by the way, ask about his academic performance, etc. After so many times, everyone in the village envied that Chen Moran was lucky enough to meet such a noble person.

Chen Moran has always been grateful in his heart.However, the good times didn't last long, and this beautiful and peaceful scene was broken by a sudden accident.

What happened was that Chen Moran's grandma fell ill and passed away during the summer vacation of Chen Moran's senior year of high school.

Originally, the old lady's body was always strong, but she didn't want to collapse suddenly, and she couldn't get up after falling down.

The old lady knew that her time was approaching, and before she left, she asked Chen Moran to go to the village to call and call his godfather and mother, saying that she had something important to explain, and anyone could guess the "important matter" Not far from ten.

Chen Moran ran all the way to the phone and dialed Zhao You's home. The phone choked up intermittently and explained the reason for the incident. Hu Liwen also shed tears when she heard it on the other end of the phone, and immediately set off with her husband and son. in the mountains.

Here, Chen Moran's grandma took a deep breath, and insisted on waiting for Hu Liwen and Zhao Guoqing to come. She grabbed Hu Liwen and Zhao Guoqing's wrists with a flash of light, and explained a long series of words, which roughly meant that she was leaving. Take good care of her grandson for her, he can be regarded as their half son after all.

Hu Liwen and Zhao Guoqing fully agreed, saying that even if you don't mention it, we will take good care of the child for you, so you can leave at ease.In the end, Grandma Chen looked at his grandson's face, then at Hu Liwen and Zhao Guoqing, closed her eyes and sank her hands, and went away without any worries, her expression peaceful and serene.

Seeing this, Chen Moran threw himself on his grandma, shouting hoarsely: "Grandma, grandma! I don't want you to go! Grandma!..."

Zhao You, who came together, was terrified. He had never experienced such a big scene at the moment when his loved one left this noisy world forever.

To use the current popular saying, Zhao You's mental breakdown seems to be unable to hold anymore.Standing there stupidly, looking at Chen Moran's grief-stricken face, he couldn't do anything, but his heart ached fiercely, like a sharp knife piercing his flesh and blood, the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

Maybe from that moment on, he wanted to treat Chen Moran well for the rest of his life and never let him cry again.

The follow-up development of the matter is to hold the funeral. Although the Chen family has no relatives, the whole village can be regarded as Chen Moran's family members, children who were watched and raised since childhood.

Chen Moran had a rich godfather, and the funeral was very decent. The old lady had worked hard all her life, and now she was buried in a splendid manner, which is considered a worthy death.

When Chen Moran knelt down in his grandma's mourning hall wearing sackcloth and filial piety, he couldn't make a sound, and finally knelt down and couldn't stand up by himself.

Zhao You helped him to the back room to rest for a while, Chen Moran was in his arms, his eyes were lost, and he was crying uninterruptedly, repeating in his mouth repeatedly, "I'm alone now, I'm alone... Seeing him like that, Zhao You's heart hurt even more, he wrapped Chen Moran around his arm with one arm, and ran his hand along his back, from top to bottom, he whispered in Chen Moran's ear: "You still have me." Immediately he He noticed that the person in his arms froze for a moment, and then there were two arms clinging tightly to his back, as if he didn't want to let go, it was Chen Moran's arms.

The two cuddled tightly together.

It is said that the college entrance examination is only a year away, Chen Moran refused his godfather and godmother's request that he live with them in the city on the grounds that he wanted to study in a familiar environment, and stayed alone in the mountains In the dilapidated house, he refused to compromise life and death.

Hu Liwen was helpless, so she fulfilled her wish to be a son.However, Chen Moran was indeed a strong boy, his studies were not affected by his grandma's death, he still achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination, and was admitted to a first-class university in city B together with Zhao You, who performed exceptionally well. .

Only the two boys know the secret behind the old phrase "you and me". It was an agreement between the two of them to be admitted to the same university.

Dreams come true.

When Hu Liwen learned that the two children had been admitted to the same university, she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
