what is the relationship between us

The child suddenly threw himself into his arms, Wan Junxiu was still a little unresponsive.Before he had time to wipe off the water on his hands, he was afraid that it would drip water on Meng Xinci's body, so he could only raise his arms to try not to let the water drip on his clothes.

Meng Xinci cried so loudly that his nose flowed out from crying.Wan Junxiu felt very distressed when he heard that, during this time, Meng Xinci always lost his temper and occasionally shed tears, but he had never cried so heartbreakingly like now.Wan Junxiu didn't care about the water in his hands, so he hugged Meng Xinci, patted him on the back lightly, and coaxed him softly: "Why are you crying, and crying so sadly. Stop crying, you are a little man now."

Meng Xinci couldn't stop crying, his body was shaking because he was so sad.

In the past two days, Meng Xinci has sometimes been irritable and irritable, and sometimes nervous and sensitive.

In fact, it's not just these two days, he's been in this mood for a long time.Even he himself couldn't tell whether it existed after he was rescued from the ruins, or even longer.

For so many years in the country, he rarely saw his father, and enjoyed very little time to care for him.Most of the time, he is a left-behind child. He must understand the difficulties of the elders, be obedient, and learn to do what he can.Especially after the earthquake, we must learn to live by winking.

So he is eccentric and sensitive.

He himself felt that sometimes, his temper tantrums were inexplicable.But it seems that this is the only way to make others feel that he is not easy to provoke so that he will not be bullied.

In the long time alone, Meng Xinci has found a way of life that is suitable for him. This kind of personality makes him like a little hedgehog, and he can not be bullied.

But now he doesn't want to be a little hedgehog, he wants to be a kitten who can rest assured in Wan Junxiu's arms, even if he stretches out his paws occasionally, Wan Junxiu won't get angry.

No one has ever hugged him like this, coaxed him softly, and wiped away his tears.

No one has ever been so gentle and unreservedly accepted him, cared about him, and tolerated him like Wan Junxiu.

"Look, the snot is coming out, and I'm crying like a cat. I'm a big boy in the second grade of sixth grade at the beginning of school, and I still cry like this. Be good and stop crying." Wan Junxiu stretched his arms and managed to remove the towel from the shelf Pull it down and wipe away the tears for Meng Xinci.Coax him slowly.

Of course Wan Junxiu couldn't guess what Meng Xinci was thinking, but he knew that the child must be very sad and sad when he cried like this.

He couldn't see the child so sad, and he couldn't bear the child crying so sadly that his voice was hoarse from crying.

The child's two slender arms wrapped tightly around Wan Junxiu's neck, still sobbing, and asked Wan Junxiu in a crying voice: "Actually, my father is already dead, right?"

Hearing these words, Wan Junxiu's eyes widened in shock, and his heart was horrified.

Why did Meng Xinci know about this? Obviously... the first thing he did when he woke up was to ask the leader who went to condolences not to tell the child!Meng Xinci's eyes still had water vapor in them, so he didn't dare to look into them.

Wan Junxiu was speechless, he was afraid that this incident would be a huge blow to Meng Xinci, but in fact it would be a big blow to himself.

Meng Xinci raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and then said: "You said you couldn't be a soldier because you were injured, and that should be because you took care of your own injuries, so it must be possible to travel so far to find me. My dad told you. Someone came to see my grandparents last year, and my grandparents cried for many days, my dad must be dead, right? "

His crying gradually stopped, and his voice was still slightly trembling: "I'm already 12 years old, you... There's no need to coax me."

Wan Junxiu felt a headache, not because he never thought about telling Meng Xinci the truth, but because he was not ready to say it now.Subconsciously, he felt that Meng Xinci was still too young, and news of the death of relatives one after another was not conducive to his growth and the growth of his children.

But the child asked himself, and he couldn't justify it if he didn't say it.

"Xinci, are you cold? Why don't you take a shower first? After you come out, uncle will tell you about your father. You see that you have been crying for so long, and your face is crying." Wan Junxiu I want Meng Xinci to take a bath and relax first, and it may be easier to accept the news of his father's death later.

Meng Xinci didn't move, and was still rubbing his eyes with his hands, which turned red from his rubbing.Wan Junxiu had no choice but to ask him: "Then can I wash it for you?"

Unexpectedly, the child nodded in agreement!

A child is a child after all, the vent tonight is not sad or angry, it is simply because of the warmth from Wan Junxiu.

The current Meng Xinci doesn't want to leave Wan Junxiu at all, he just wants to stay with Wan Junxiu.

"The uncle poured water for you, and you took off your clothes." Wan Junxiu couldn't help laughing, "Why are you acting coquettish?"

Hot water spilled from the shower head and dripped on Meng Xinci's body, which also wet Wan Junxiu.Wan Junxiu didn't care so much, anyway, he had to take a bath later.

His hands were dipped in shampoo, and he washed Meng Xinci's hair with two feeble palms.Children's hair grows fast, and it's already a little prickly.Fearing that the bubbles would get into Meng Xinci's eyes, he reminded Meng Xinci to bow his head and close his eyes.

Unable to see Meng Xinci's eyes, Wan Junxiu seemed to be able to speak out more easily. He spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, as if telling someone else's story: "Your father and I In the future, the uncle you settled in his house is the same group of soldiers who entered the frontier, in the same class, your father is a very enthusiastic and cheerful man. He is older than me, and he takes good care of me on weekdays, treating me like a younger brother Don't tell me, I also ate the special products sent by your grandma."

When Wan Junxiu thinks of Meng Tian, ​​he has mixed feelings in his heart. Those days of working hard together in the frontier are like a novel.

"The accident happened because of a field training. It was very hard. There was also a landslide. Your father and I were buried in the rocks. Your father was on top of it. Later, he tried to break free and seek rescue, but he himself suffered a lot. Seriously injured, when the rescue team finally found us, he was already..." Speaking of these, Wan Junxiu's voice also began to tremble.

That memory was too painful, and he was only 22 years old at the time.After waking up for a long time, the pain in my body has been numb, and there is no cure anyway.

What's more, it was a psychological blow, almost collapsed, and had to face his own disability and the death of his comrades-in-arms.Thinking of Meng Tian's children and family members, Wan Junxiu felt that he should be the one who would never wake up again.

After he was discharged from the hospital, except for the necessary rehabilitation and psychological counseling, he didn't dare to spend more money, and he didn't want to lie idle in the hospital.Hastily discharged from the hospital and returned to his hometown, he handed over the remaining compensation to Meng Tian's family members, praying that he would forgive himself and his family members would forgive him.

This bad life was bought by Meng Tian's life, and Wan Junxiu didn't dare to give it up easily.

But what is owed, will not be repaid in this life.I can only find ways to make money, and send the money to Meng Tian's parents on time every month, in order to be safe overnight.

Now, Meng Xin resigned to her side, and that self would treat him with heart no matter what, and raise him up.

The foam on his body was washed away before Meng Xinci opened his eyes.He looked into Wan Junxiu's eyes, and asked Wan Junxiu seriously: "Will you leave me alone in the future?"

There were still drops of water on his face, Wan Junxiu held a towel to help him dry gently.

Wan Junxiu also answered him very seriously: "No, as long as you want, as long as uncle is still alive, you will not be left alone. Then do you want to live with uncle? Don't ask me to send you back. Don't lose your temper too, okay?"

His tone was sincere, and he promised earnestly that he would never leave Meng Xinci alone again.

Meng Xinci took the towel from Wan Junxiu's hand and wiped off the water stains on Wan Junxiu's face.He whispered: "I don't want to be called Wan Xinci, I want to be called Meng Xinci, because my father got it for me. But I will be obedient, listen to you, and help you set up a stall together and do housework."

Wan Junxiu raised his hand, held Meng Xinci's small face, and said with a smile: "Then we have agreed, you will live with your uncle obediently. I will take you to see your Uncle Li tomorrow, and we will go to settle down." OK."

Meng Xinci also smiled and nodded.

The next day Wan Junxiu got up early, rummaged through the closet for a long time, and found a shirt and a pair of trousers.

I bought this when I came back from the army in the first few years. I haven't worn it a few times, and it looks brand new now.At that time, I was still in good health, and I had perfect muscles in the army, and I looked very energetic and beautiful in clothes.

Now because of sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, the muscles have already disappeared.The upper body is fine, supported by a skeleton.The trousers probably don't look so good, but it shouldn't be too obvious in a wheelchair.

He first moved himself to the bed and put on his trousers, and then sat back on the wheelchair. Seeing that Meng Xinci was almost cleaned up, he called out to him: "Xinci, come and button your uncle."

He hadn't worn buttoned clothes for a long time, and his hands didn't allow him to make such fine movements.Most of the time, if you wear a zipper, you have to ask an aunt in the night market to help him install a larger pull ring on the zipper button so that you can close the zipper yourself.

While buttoning his buttons, Meng Xinci murmured: "Why is it so formal, isn't it just a household registration?"

Wan Junxiu was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I want to take you to take a photo. After all, we are a family. Take a family portrait of the two of us. But I haven't asked you if you want it. made a bid."

Meng Xinci helped him button the last button and straighten the corners of his clothes and trousers.Answer him: "Just shoot, I didn't say not to shoot."

The kid's voice was neither salty nor weak, as if he didn't care.But he didn't look in the mirror, and the corners of his mouth were grinning to the ears.

The man who agreed to register Meng Xinci on his household registration book was named Li Rui, who was about the same age as Meng Tian.Now divorced and living alone, I heard that it is Meng Tian's child, so I agreed without thinking about it, and made an appointment to meet at the household registration office.

When Wan Junxiu and the others arrived, Li Rui had already arrived.

Seeing his former friend sitting in a wheelchair, Li Rui couldn't help feeling sad, and his voice trembled.

On the contrary, Wan Junxiu persuaded him cheerfully: "It's important to do the right thing. I'm doing fine now. You old man, don't cry at the door of other people's unit. What do you look like? Have you brought everything?"

Li Rui raised his hand and rubbed his face, then put on a smiling face and replied: "I brought it, you just told me that I found all the things." He looked at the little boy next to Wan Junxiu, put his arms around him and asked excitedly: "This is Lao Meng's son, right? What's his name? What's new? This boy looks really good-looking, but he's short. Why is he so short? Lao Meng is not short. Lao Meng is 1.8 meters tall."

Wan Junxiu patted Meng Xinci and said: "It's called Meng Xinci, I guess it hasn't been drawn yet, and it will definitely grow taller in the future. Quickly call Xinci Uncle."

Meng Xinci's face was flushed from rubbing, and he was somewhat uncomfortable facing strangers, so he called uncle in a low voice.

Li Rui is a rough guy with a hearty laugh and a loud voice.Amused by Meng Xinci's shy look, he slapped the child on the back and said with a smile: "Just take it, and live a good life with your Uncle Wan from now on. If you have any difficulties, you can still find Uncle Li."

Li Rui's job is stable, his age is suitable, and the procedures will be completed soon.He wanted to be the host and invite Wan Junxiu and Meng Xinci to have a meal, but Wan Junxiu refused because it was inconvenient for him to eat outside because he had no tools.Instead, he asked Li Rui to drive the two of them to the photo studio, saying it was to take a photo.

When taking pictures, Wan Junxiu didn't want to sit in a wheelchair, so he asked Li Rui to help him to sit on the small sofa in the studio.The photographer kept letting Meng Xinci get closer to Wan Junxiu. The child was a little shy and didn't know where to put his little hands.Wan Junxiu smiled and said, "You have to support me a bit, otherwise I won't be able to sit still."

This trick really worked, Meng Xinci leaned close to Wan Junxiu, still supporting Wan Junxiu's back.After posing, the photographer pressed the shutter to capture the moment of intimacy between the two.

When choosing a film, Wan Junxiu pointed to the photo on the computer and said, "Look at the new words, this is our first family portrait."
