escape and return

One month later, my mother woke up early to pack things. Plaid’s clothes, Plaid’s favorite fried peanuts, and kiwi fruit that Plaid had hidden for a long time, while Dad went to prepare millet. to sell. "Mom, I still have a candy watch hidden here. Here, put it in your checkered pocket." Yuan Tang came down from upstairs and handed over the things in his hand, "I bought it for him at school. Originally, I was going to give it to him when I came back from summer vacation, but I didn’t expect his parents to take him back, so I thought about giving it to him when he left.”

"You really don't want to send him there with us?"

"No, there's still a lot of work to be done at home. I'll stay at home and work." Yuan Tang choked up and turned his head slightly. She really loved this brother.

"Mom, will he be bullied when he goes back? Huh..." Still couldn't hold back, "I really can't bear him, uhh~ What a sensible kid, why did you take him back now when you didn't want him back then?" Yuan Tang has already graduated from junior high school and is already an adult. She is usually strong. She has never cried because of the difficult mountain roads and tiring farm work, but she is very reluctant now, and she can't control her tear glands.

"Tang Tang, no matter how reluctant we are, there is nothing we can do. After all, Ge Zi came out of her belly, and the blood relationship cannot be broken. Alas, I am also reluctant." Tears welled up in my eyes, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and patted each other Pat on the back.

Maybe it's because she is naturally sensitive. Gezi has been feeling something wrong for the past two days. The adults are all frowning. When she was sleeping last night, her mother tossed and turned and sighed for a long time.So after his mother got up in the morning, Grid woke up immediately. He watched his mother pack up all his clothes and stuffed them into a big cloth bag with a pair of big eyes, and followed behind her secretly, watching her go to bed When I went upstairs, I entered the storage room at the top of the stairs, where there are many things that I can’t usually eat, such as dried squid, marinated pork, fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, sweet potato powder, fine vermicelli, etc., all of which are from customers There is a half-meter-high wine vat inside, and there is a whole vat of kiwi fruit in it, and some of them are probably already ripe.He took his younger brother to pick these kiwis in the mountains. The two children couldn't carry them, they packed them in sacks several times, and ran back and forth in the mountains.

Grid hid behind the door and peeked through the crack, he heard it all, he was going to be sent away today.His mother was preparing food for him, but he was so sad that he wanted to cry.Yuan Song is a heartless little bastard, you are still sleeping so soundly when your brother is leaving.Fangge turned his head to look at Yuan Xiaosong who was sleeping soundly on the bed, gritted his teeth, Xiao Songsong, your brother is going to be taken away, didn't you say you want to protect me?You are a big liar.Tears are rolling in the eyes, what can Xiao Fangge do?I have been eating and drinking in this house for so many years.Fang Ge silently pondered some messy thoughts.

The mountain road is far away, and it takes half a day to go from the mountain to the town. If they start late, they will probably have to walk the mountain road in the dark at midnight when they go home in the afternoon. The deep mountains under the night are more dangerous, and there are many jackals and foxes, so they set off early , no one went to wake up Yuan Song, only Yuan Tang stood on the stone steps in front of the hall and watched him go. Fangge turned his head three times, held back his tears and stretched his neck to look at Yuan Tang. Slowly, the field on the upper level blocked his sight, and suddenly Yuan Tang's hoarse shout sounded above his head: "Gezi, we will pick you up after the holiday. You must remember to miss us! You must not forget us! If someone bullies you, you will bully him back. If you know it, hit him back, don't be bullied. We will definitely pick you up, Ge Ge, Ge Ge, sister will buy you candy then, ah!"

"Wow... Sister, I don't want to leave, oh, I don't want to leave you, ah..." Fangge finally couldn't help it, he cried out loudly, tears smeared his face and blurred his eyes. line of sight.Yuan Dashan yelled at Yuan Tang to tell her to go back, then looked at the little guy in front of him and sighed softly.They had to go on their way, and it was not a good thing to be delayed on the road for a long time. Moreover, they had to find out how to get to Fangge's grandparents' house when they arrived in the town. I heard that it was five or six kilometers away from the town.Yuan Dashan shook the pole on his shoulders and asked Du Lijuan to carry Fangge up.Fang Ge put his arms around his mother's neck, sobbing, and said intermittently: "I haven't talked to my brother yet, mother, brother, what should I do if he can't see me?" flowed down.She tightened the package in her hand, held Fang Ge upside down, touched his back, and was speechless.

They walked the mountain road for a long time that day, as if they walked slowly, and if they walked slower, they would not have to send them off.They climbed over the depressions of the three mountains, and after passing through two forests, they reached the ridge of the downhill. This looks like a dragon's back, standing straight and steep there, and the ridge is inlaid with stone steps. , You can reach the foot of the mountain by walking down the stone steps.Fangge is no longer in his mother's arms. He has to walk this road by himself, and he has to firmly engrave this road in his mind. If no one comes to pick him up, he will come back by himself.He was trembling on the way down the mountain on his short short legs, while his father carried things in front of him steadily and skillfully, and his mother freed up a hand to hold Fangge's little hand.

"Ge Zi, tell mom when you're tired, okay? The road down the mountain is not easy, so don't fall."

"I know mom, I'm not tired, you and dad are much more tired than me."

"Ge Zi, take a break, mom is tired." Du Lijuan wiped off the sweat from Fang Ge's face, and pulled him to sit on the stone steps.

"Did you see that place with a lot of houses over there, where you will go to school in the future." Du Lijuan pointed to a red, white and white place in the distance outside the mountain. It was Baiyan Town, the only one in the mountains with a radius of tens of miles A small river valley plain.so far away!Fangge thought.

"Do you know that you have to be obedient when you arrive at grandpa and grandma's house? You should call when you see someone. Grandpa and grandma, uncles, aunts, parents, all have to call. Do you hear me? Be sweeter..."

"Mom," Fang Ge looked up at Du Lijuan with wet eyes, "Mom, I don't want to go, woo..."

"Gezi, mom can't bear you either..." Saying that, the two mother and son hugged each other and began to cry loudly. This crying was fierce and heart-piercing. Both of them couldn't help themselves and lasted for a long time. In the end, Yuan Dashan called them several times from the foot of the mountain, and the mother and son stopped crying, wiped each other's tears, stood up and continued walking.This cry seemed to foretell Fangge's dark days ahead, even for several years to come.
