Without money and mobile phone, Tang Li had no choice but to concentrate on writing letters, hoping to convey the information to Jiang Ye.

One a month.Every time at the end of the month, Tang Li would take out a ballpoint pen and solemnly write stroke by stroke on the letter paper that Li Ruxue had prepared for him in advance, filling the letter paper every time.

"Brother, hello. I'm Tang Li. I'm sorry to make you worry. For some reasons, I can only contact you now. I still remember the address of my home, so I will send a letter home, hoping you can receive it , Looking forward to your reply.

I am doing well now, working in a seafood factory.This is a coastal place, I don't know where.People here speak a dialect that I don't understand, but after so long, I can vaguely understand some words now.My aunt promised me to take me home in two and a half years, and I will definitely come back to you.

Brother, are you studying in university now?Is college fun?What did you study in college?Must be fun.I may not be able to go to school for the time being, but when I go back, I will continue to study in school, and I also want to go to a university with you.Brother, I'm sorry, but please wait for me for a few more years.

I miss mom and dad very much, and I miss you very much, and I miss the goat.Can you give me a hug?Will it forget me when I come back? "

After writing each letter, Li Ruxue would read the letter paper from beginning to end in front of Tang Li, and after confirming that there was nothing to be revised, he would stuff the letter into a yellow paper envelope in front of Tang Li, and finally paste the letter in front of Tang Li. Put a stamp on it, and patted Tang Li on the shoulder: "I'll post the letter tomorrow, don't worry."

In this way, a year passed without knowing it. 12 letters in 12 months, 365 days of suffering.Every time after sending a letter, Tang Li would be thinking and looking forward to waiting for a reply.The first and second letters were sent out, but Tang Li never received a reply.He ran to ask Li Ruxue, but Li Ruxue only comforted him: "It's a long journey, and it will take time for the letter to arrive, so don't worry!" Then the third letter, the fourth letter... until the sixth letter was sent, but there was no reply. When receiving it, Tang Li finally started to feel disheartened.Li Ruxue said: "Maybe there is something wrong with the letter and it was lost on the way. The mail is always like this, and it is unreliable."

Tang Lixin thought it was true, until that day when he got off work early and returned to the dormitory, he found an extra black wooden box under the bed.

Tang Li opened the box with anxiety, and saw that there were 12 sealed yellow paper envelopes with stamps inside.

Tang Li himself did not know whether this decision was correct.It was only when he impulsively stole the money and ID from Li Ruxue's wallet, bought a ticket and boarded the train going north by himself, that his mind slowly cooled down.

My aunt would definitely go crazy with anger when she found out, but he didn't regret it.

It was the first time for Tang Li to go out alone, without luggage or mobile phone, only a small gray wallet.His heart was beating wildly, and he felt like his blood was about to boil.Tang Li never thought that he would be so bold.

During the nearly [-]-hour drive, Tang Li was always hungry in order to save money.At night, Tang Li sat on the hard seat and couldn't fall asleep. Worried that his wallet would be stolen, he stayed up all night staring out the window.After finally getting off the train, Tang Li was almost exhausted from starvation.I hurriedly found a noodle restaurant and ate a bowl of egg noodles with a cup of hot soy milk, and I regained some vitality.

Under the kind guidance of the train station staff, Tang Li bought another bus ticket.After getting off at the halfway station, you can take a tricycle to his home.

After buying the ticket, Tang Li only had 20 yuan left.He was tired and hungry, but the joy of being home soon overwhelmed him, making him unable to think about his exhaustion.When taking the bus, Tang Li was finally able to close his eyes and rest for a while, but he didn't dare to sleep deeply, fearing that he might miss the stop.

After getting off the car smoothly, Tang Li stopped the way and called a tricycle master. After agreeing on the price, he climbed into the tricycle and waited quietly.

I can go home immediately and see my parents and brother!Tang Li's heart was pounding, and the grievances and pain he had suffered for more than a year suddenly disappeared, becoming so insignificant and insignificant.

The tricycle jolted, but Tang Li's heart had already flown to his sweetheart's side.How he wanted to hug his father and mother whom he hadn't seen for a long time!They must have missed him.And his favorite puppy goat, what kind of reaction will the goat see him?Tang Li doesn't want the goat to forget himself... It's been more than a year, what has become of brother?He must also miss him very much, because he also thinks about him crazily every day.But it's okay now, because they will be able to meet soon.

From the gap in the back seat of the tricycle, you can vaguely see the scenery along the road.The familiar scene slowly came into view, which was so reassuring.That was the Children's Palace where he stayed with Jiang Ye when he was in elementary school, and that was Jiang Ye's favorite snack bar... How long has it been since he tasted that sweet red bean pudding milk tea?I really want to jump out of the car and buy two cups to take home. My brother will be very pleasantly surprised.It's a pity he doesn't have enough money.

It doesn't matter, there will be many, many opportunities to drink hot milk tea together in the future, right!

At the address mentioned by Tang Li, the tricycle master stopped the car.After Tang Li paid, he stood downstairs and looked at the familiar and friendly residential building.

Tang Li was trembling with excitement, he couldn't control himself and ran upstairs.The first floor, the second floor, the third floor... Tang Li stopped in front of the blue door, gasping for breath disorderly.

Controlling the corner of Feiyang's mouth, he reached out and knocked on the door.

"knock knock"

"knock knock"

"Coming!" Tang Daihe's gentle voice came from the door, "Who is it?"

"Mom, let me open the door. You are busy first." Ah, it's brother!

Tang Li showed a happy smile, the sound of footsteps in his mind was getting closer and closer, and the crisp sound of the door lock turning seemed to be right next to his ears——

"Hello," a deep male voice suddenly dispelled the phantom in Tang Li's mind, "are you... looking for someone?"

"Ah," Tang Li finally came to his senses. It turned out that the door was still locked. His fingers had been knocking for some time, and his fingers were already turning red. "...Yes."

"The original occupants of this house moved out a long time ago. There is no one here now, and they are still renting out."

"Moved away?" Tang Li's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is it possible?"

"It's been a few months... I can't remember exactly." The man shrugged and smiled, "Anyway, if you knock on the door now, no one will answer it. This room has been empty for a long time."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which shocked Tang Li for a long time.After the man left, Tang Li rushed downstairs as if waking up from a dream, looked up at the floor of the house, every window was closed tightly, the clothes rail was empty, and the potted plants that were usually placed on the window sill were gone... There are no traces of human life.

Was he dropped again?

Shocked, hesitant, confused, wronged, sad... Tang Li was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe, squatting on the ground and covering his ears, weeping.The fact of being abandoned is constantly magnified in my mind, which makes me collapse.

His last string snapped too.

After Li Ruxue received Tang Li's call, she rushed over immediately to pick up her nephew.

Li Ruxue was originally full of anger, but after seeing Tang Li's appearance, her heart softened again.Only then did she know that Jiang Shaohui's family had moved and gave up looking for Tang Li.After hearing the news, Li Ruxue felt a little more grateful.Although I don't know the reason why Jiang Shaohui's family did this, but fortunately Tang Li can finally dispel his desire to go home.

On the train back, Tang Li leaned against the window and closed his eyes and fell asleep, no sound could wake him up.While gently stroking his nephew's hair, Li Ruxue said to him, "Xiao Li, from now on, you can settle down, work hard, and live well. When we stabilize, aunt will give you Get a bank card of your own. In the future, your money will be deposited into the card, and your aunt’s money will also be deposited into your card. When you have money, we can live in a big house, and your aunt will also find you a A beautiful girl is a daughter-in-law, and we are a kind family..."

But Tang Li opened his mouth, closed his eyes and muttered something softly, like a dream.

Li Ruxue moved closer to identify it, but in the end she couldn't hear anything clearly.
