kind of bend me

For dinner, Aunt Li made braised fish, and the two old people waited for him to come back before serving the meal. Shen Xu told them several times to let them eat first, but Aunt Li always answered with a smile, not hungry.

Uncle Wan put the fish in his bowl, eat carefully and don't get stuck.

The old man's warmth and care made him swallow the words that came to his mouth.

After dinner, he went back to his room to take a shower, and when he was lying on the bed, he remembered Sibao's words again.

still coming back?

He always thought that city t was his last home, and when he was old and dead, he would stay in that city forever.

but now ----

It has been a year and a half since He Lei passed away, and he has gradually come out of his grief. After all, he can only live.

To live, to forget something.

Wan Chen hasn't come back yet, but the complexion of the old people is getting better and better. When Shen Xu asked about his news, Uncle Wan replied with a smile, it will be soon, wait a little longer, he will be back soon.

He wanted to wait for Wan Chen to come back before leaving, no matter how good S City was, he always felt a strange feeling.

Home is still far away.

A few days later, Master Liu came to Wanchen's house as a guest. During the dinner, the old man smiled and mentioned that he wanted to tell Shen Xu his relatives.

"Xiao Shen is almost forty, and he doesn't even have a companion. You elders don't know how to worry about it. Oh, I have to come and ask about this matter. Do you remember the eldest daughter of Aunt Li next door? It’s in our shop. Your Auntie Li wants you to meet her, so she’ll do it. Although she’s divorced and has a child, she’s honest and hardworking. Xiao Shen, you should think about it.”

Shen Xu smiled, just about to refuse, but Aunt Li said, "I said, old brother Liu, don't worry about it, Shen Xu is my son, I will weigh his affairs, in the future, this kind of Don't mention it again, I don't want to hear it."

Aunt Li's tough attitude surprised even Shen Xu, and Master Liu was so angry that his beard jumped wildly. Uncle Wan smiled and pulled people to play chess, so as to ease the atmosphere.

Shen Xu sat next to the stern-faced Aunt Li, and took her hand, "Aunt Li, why are you so angry! The master also has good intentions, he only matches me because he doesn't understand my situation, what's wrong with you? "

Aunt Li turned her head suddenly, her head was burning with anger, and she was about to say something, but she still had concerns, so she swallowed it back.

"Aren't you...not that...you don't like women! I'm afraid...don't cause any trouble."

Although this is the reason, Shen Xu still felt a little strange, Master Liu also had good intentions, so he just replied politely, so why would he get so angry.

After this incident, no one mentioned it again. Half a month later, Wan Hui asked Shen Xu to join him when he went out for a walk after dinner.

Wanjia is far away from the urban area. When night comes, it is isolated from the neon lights and hustle and bustle in the distance. Here is another world of tranquility and harmony.

Walking along the gravel-strewn path in the park, Uncle Wan suddenly asked, "Do you want to go home?"

Shen Xu stopped and looked at the old man suspiciously.

Uncle Wan smiled slightly, turned around and continued walking forward.

"If you want, go back! I know you are worried about me and your Aunt Li, haha, we are not old enough to need someone to take care of us!"

Shen Xu hesitated, his thoughts were full of thoughts, but he didn't say anything, listening to the old man's words silently.

"At the beginning, Aunt Li forced you to come here because she was afraid that you would do something stupid. Now, your heart disease is getting better, and you can leave the rest to yourself. Let it heal as soon as possible, so that you can enter a new life .Shen Xu, the past...no matter what happened, forget about it! People can only look forward when they are alive, and it will be much easier to see hope. Don't look back. "

That night, Shen Xu lay on the bed for a long time without falling asleep.

The hut with a faint fragrance of flowers and the peaceful and warm life penetrated into his heart bit by bit, healing his heart.

He is used to or depends on this kind of life. If he leaves, really, can he still adapt?

Master Liu's small shop opened early, and when the old man was exercising in the small shop, Shen Xu came in with breakfast.

"Aunt Li asked you to bring it again. You said no, I'll just eat something by myself. Alas, I just don't listen." Master Liu said, and he was already sitting at the table and picked up his chopsticks.

Shen Xu poured out the porridge and handed it to the old man, "Master, I might be leaving S City."

Master Liu was startled, "Where are you going?"

Shen Xu: "Go home, my home."

A place far away from here, a home with only him.

Master Liu lowered his eyes and nodded, "Man, you have to go home in the end. Once you have this skill, you won't be hungry anywhere in the future. Okay, let's go!"

After breakfast, Shen Xu took the thermos cup and went back to the cubicle to wash up. When he came out, he vaguely heard the old man's deep sigh.

In the evening, Shen Xu mentioned the matter of leaving to the elders.

Uncle Wan nodded. Although Aunt Li was reluctant, it is estimated that Uncle Wan had talked to her beforehand, but she didn't say anything to persuade him to stay. She only told him to pay more attention to his health when living alone, eat on time, and don't patronize work. Broken body.

Shen Xu nodded in agreement one by one.

It's time to leave.

A few days later, he picked up the big luggage that Aunt Li had prepared for him, got into a taxi, rolled down the window, and waved to the elder with a smile.

Parting is the most hurtful thing, but I have to go through this process again and again.

Aunt Li hid her sad tears, and Uncle Wan nodded and supported him to move on.

The car started and slowly drove out of the quiet neighborhood.

He didn't know where the way forward was.Only this time, he couldn't stop.

From the day he bid farewell to He Lei, he knew that he could only go on strong.

Even if a person, no matter how hard he is, if he lives, he can only fight for his life.

Board the train heading far away, leaving City S far behind.

This time, he didn't look back.

It was already afternoon when he arrived in City E, and he got off the train with his heavy luggage on his back. Facing this strange city, Shen Xu's face was a bit dazed.

A year and a half ago, the place was devastated and horrible. Rescuers were busy beside the collapsed buildings, and the roar of large machinery was endless.

A year and a half later, the place is still busy and noisy, but people's faces are full of hopeful smiles.

High-rise buildings under construction, spacious and clean avenues, banners with red background and white characters can be seen everywhere, and children with schoolbags walk into the newly built school.

Here, it is no longer a forgotten corner.

After settling down in the small hotel, Shen Xu called the volunteer who had contacted him at the beginning.

The next day he came to Ping County by car. In a prefabricated house, a middle-aged man surnamed Liu warmly entertained him.

During the conversation, Shen Xu learned that Lao Liu was also a volunteer in the past, and now he stays here to carry out aid construction work. The mountain roads in Ping County are rugged, and it is not easy for large equipment to enter, and the reconstruction work is slower than other places.

Old Liu and the others really need maintenance workers like Shen Xu.

What he said made Shen Xu's face flush, he was a little ashamed, he showed that he is more proficient in repairing home appliances, such as this kind of large equipment... However, if he is willing to give him a chance, he will also learn it with his heart. Make some contributions here.

Shen Xu was arranged to share a room with Lao Liu. Although the living conditions were a bit difficult, he didn't care about it. He was busy on the construction site every day. When he returned to the dormitory, workers brought some small appliances for him to repair from time to time. After going back and forth, he gradually became familiar with everyone. Twist, talk about everything, life is quite fulfilling.

Three months later, a new primary school was completed in Ping County. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the children running out of the prefabricated houses one by one, Shen Xu felt for the first time the true meaning of being alive.

That night, everyone gathered together to cheer and celebrate. Lao Liu held the wine bottle and sang "We People, I'm so happy today."

Shen Xu was also very happy, so he couldn't help drinking a few more glasses.

Old Liu sat next to him, held a wine glass and touched his hard.

Lao Liu was a chatterbox and couldn't put it away once he opened the box. He talked about the hardships of the reconstruction work, his parents, wives and children in his hometown, and those companions who died during the rescue.

Shen Xu was half-drunk, leaning over while holding the wine bottle, everyone shut their mouths, listening to those sad stories silently.

There are young people who have just graduated from college and haven't had time to experience life, there are good men who have just become fathers and haven't seen their children more often, and ---

Old Liu glanced at Shen Xu, "There is another brother, Shen Xu, who is about your age. He is also the person I admire the most."

Lao Liu sighed, picked up his glass and drank it down, and continued after a while, "His surname is Wan. I always call him Brother Wan. It's a coincidence that I have been in the same group with him since we entered the disaster area. I don’t talk much, but I work hard, and I’m here in the end—”

His words aroused the curiosity of others, and they asked, "Old Liu, tell me, what happened to him?"

Lao Liu: "In order to save a person, that person was buried very deep. It took a long time to see that it was almost successful, and there was another aftershock. The whole prefabricated slab fell, and at that moment, no one had time To stop it, Brother Wan jumped down and blocked that person. Seriously, I’ve never seen a person like him. He didn’t even want to save his life. I remember that he seemed to know that person and joked that What kind of rival in love, even if he is really a friend, at that time, he jumped off without thinking about anything, I really admire his courage. Sigh!"

Old Liu's sigh was far away, gently and shallowly lingering in Shen Xu's mind.

Brother Wan...saved someone...jumped down and stood on top of that person...rival in love...

With great difficulty, he pieced these pieces together, and slowly, he became a little confused.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the wine glass in front of him, and after drinking it down, he leaned in front of Old Liu and asked in a low voice, "The one you mentioned just now, that old brother Wan, how is he doing now?"

Old Liu glanced at him, "It's dead, once someone digs it out, it's dead."
