Spring is coming

It was a four-hour bus ride from Rong County to Nanzhou City. Chun Xin sat in the back seat of the bus, curled up like a kitten in the rain, twitching and hiccupping from time to time.

The future is uncertain, she is still young and ignorant, she only knows that she may never see her grandparents again, and she will never see Dongdong again.

Thinking of this, I couldn't stop being sad, tears welled up again, quietly flowing down my cheeks.

Her face also hurt from crying, and when she shed tears, she felt a strong tingling pain, and the tip of her nose was oozing blood when she wiped it with her sleeve.

I was in a hurry, and I didn’t have time to bring many small things that I couldn’t live without, such as the dictionary with a lot of dried flowers, a pair of fairly new trousers that my cousin discarded, the scented eraser I picked up, and the Chinese pencil that Dongdong gave me. ...

All are her babies.

Yin Yuanchang was sitting next to her with her eyes closed, and Chun Xin flipped through her schoolbag lightly. When she was kicked out of the house, Yin Yuanchang stuffed all the messy things into her schoolbag, which was full.

Chunxin turned out one by one and put them on the empty seat beside him. Among them were Yin Yuanchang's two pairs of socks and a thin coat.

Keeping the back of his head still, Chunxin's eyes slanted away, then turned back quickly, took a long breath, and slowly, slowly threw his things on the ground, and kicked his toes under the car seat.

The schoolbag is full of insignificant textbooks and homework, but at the bottom, there is even a piece of chocolate!

Chun Xin held the chocolate in his palm, and put it in his trouser pocket.

In the second half of the journey, she didn't know anything, and she was extremely dizzy from motion sickness, and then she went to somewhere. There were bunk beds next to each other in the room, and men in uniform work clothes walked around.

This is the staff dormitory of the oxygen plant. A sleepy-eyed lion cub with fried hair is sitting by the bed, with its short legs drooping listlessly.

Some adults talked to Yin Yuanchang, and some people came to tease her. Chun Xin shrank in the corner like a kitten who had just been brought home, tensing up in stress.

When Yin Yuanchang went to work, Chun Xin walked out of the room and wandered around the flower beds and fish ponds near the staff dormitory. The children in the nearby family building yelled and ran around together. Chun Xin quickly joined them, and within two or three days, she was completely integrated. Get acquainted with the small circle here and find out the surrounding terrain.

The sisters in the female worker's dormitory liked her very much. In the evening, when Yin Yuanchang was off work, someone came to greet him by holding Chun Xin, "Let's take her out to play for a while at night, shall we?"

He raised his head vigilantly, his eyes slanted, "Where are you going?"

The other party laughed heartily, "Go to the night market, where else can I go?"

Chun Xin had long forgotten the unpleasantness of being away from home. What kind of place is the 'Night Market'? It sounds so mysterious.

The night market was fun, with many people and delicious food. The rich aroma of the food filled the air. My sisters bought her lamb skewers. It was the first time for Chunxin to eat barbecue. She ate very slowly, and carefully observed the shape and color of the lamb while chewing.

"I want to remember the appearance of this meat." Chun Xin said to himself.

There was a thick black braid, and the elder sister named Yingying lowered her head and wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, pinching her cheeks, "What about after you remember?"

"From now on, I will bring my grandparents to eat, and Dongdong to eat." Suddenly thought of something, and added: "Mutton is a hair product, right? My grandpa can't eat it." She counted, "My grandpa can't eat chicken and fish, and Shrimp, beef and mutton are also not eaten, these are hair products."

"Do you still know what hair is?"

Chun Xin didn't know what hair was. Anyway, grandpa couldn't eat it. She had heard the adults nagging her a hundred times, and it was difficult for her to remember it.

"What about Dongdong?"

"Dongdong can be eaten, she is my good friend."

That day, because he was too focused on staring at the meat, on the way back, he fell down the steps. He didn't cry at first, but when he saw the meat skewers flying out and rolling a few times on the ground covered in dust, Chun Xin cried out with a "wow".

It was already far away from the night market. In order to coax her, the sisters bought her a small motorcycle that could run with a pull on the rope behind the buttocks.

Chun Xin was still reluctant to part with the meat skewers, so he picked them up and took them away, saying that he would feed them to the white dirt dog raised by the guard.

Dabai was not seen when he entered the door, and when he returned to the dormitory, he put the meat skewers on the table. When Chun Xin washed his face and came back, he found that Dabai was gone, only Yin Yuanchang wiped his mouth there.

She rolled her eyes behind her back, and was later picked up by her sisters, saying that it was not good for a little girl to sleep in the boys' dormitory.

Chun Xin didn't understand these things, he just felt like he was in heaven, and there was a lot of fragrance everywhere.The sisters washed her clean and kneaded her like dough.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is still stuffy after the heavy rain. Chunxin went to play with the friends in the family building in the morning, and found that everyone had gathered by the pond. She walked over and stretched her neck to see that all the koi in the fish pond were dead. up!Floating on the water, turning white belly.

"It's too hot." The guard uncle said, and fished out one by one with a large net with a long pole.

The stench of dead fish was everywhere, and Chun Xin covered his nose and hurried away.

The death of the koi carp has become an unsolved mystery. The children couldn't figure out why the fish died. This matter was not discussed in the end. Sister Yingying came back from work and shouted, "Come on, the smallest child." !"

Everyone swarmed around, "What's wrong, what's wrong!"

Chun Xin was indispensable to watch the excitement, she shouted, and Sister Yingying clicked Chun Xin in the crowd, leading her forward, followed by a large group of children.

When they came to an abandoned factory building, Yingying said that there were a few puppies inside, and the mother dog had been beaten to death. She wanted to buy a child for five yuan to go in and help carry the puppies out.

The doorman stood at the iron gate and wiped his tears. The dog mother who was beaten to death was his Dabai.

Under the large rusty iron gate, there was a very narrow gap. Sister Yingying spread a clean waste paper shell on the ground and asked everyone to try it.

Chun Xin lay down on the ground, adjusted the angle of his head at the entrance of the hole a few times, and after his head went in, his body easily went in.

The factory building was pitch-black, with only white beams of light coming in from a few holes in the top of the head. There were all kinds of machines and waste products in strange shapes. Digging for treasure with one black finger.

Suddenly, she heard two "woo hoo" sounds, she raised her head from the pile of debris, pricked up her ears, locked on to one direction, and then rushed out with a "whoosh".

In the depths of the factory building, under a gutter near the wall, Chun Xin found three puppies.

The white ones were fluffy and warm, and she took them out one by one and put them in a waste cardboard box she found just now, lest they get lost again.One of them was frightened and ran to the depths. Chun Xin struggled to move his buttocks in the crowded ditch.

There was no light to be seen, only the faint whimpering sound of the puppy, and the nasal cavity was covered with dust and itchy.

After finally touching it, she hugged it in her arms. Unfortunately, the water canals extend in all directions, and she lost her way.

After bumping into a wall three times in a row, Chun Xin began to get anxious. There was no one here, so every day should not work, and the land would not work.

She crawled around, but couldn't find an exit. The more anxious she became, the more frightened the puppy was, huddled in her arms, motionless.

Heart beating loudly, Chun Xin hugged the puppy with one hand and propped himself on the ground with the other, his knees were sore and painful, and the palms of his hands were full of small stones.

Suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and someone knocked on the cement slab above his head with a wooden stick, shouting: "Chunchun! Where are you!"

"Ah—" Chun Xin shouted, "Dongdong!"

It's Dongdong!It's Dongdong's voice!

She cried out with a "wow", "Dongdong, did you come to save me!"
