"Small and, small and."
In a daze, Rong Yu heard a strange but familiar voice, raised his head, only to realize that it was dark, and a girl who looked like him six or seven points in front of him was looking at him worriedly, even if he only lived together for a week, even if Almost forty years have passed, and Rong Yu still recognizes her. Her name is Rong Yao, and she is a sister who is one year older than him.
Rong Yu blinked his red eyes, a little sour.
"You," the girl was angry. Seeing him like this, she softened her heart and stretched out her hand to pull him without swearing: "Get up first."
"En!" Rong Yu responded in a low voice, bowed his head and started to follow her hand, but staggered and almost fell, but fortunately Rong Yao held him up. His eyes turned to the watch in his hand. At 7:32, he had been sitting here for almost three hours.
"Are your feet numb? Are you uncomfortable? Sit for a while." Rong Yao supported him and let him sit on a brick on the ground. He thought Rong Yu would refuse, but he sat down obediently. This made Rong Yao couldn't bear to blame him even more. Kneeling down, I stretched out my hands to squeeze his legs, but when I saw him shrinking back, I immediately said angrily, "Don't move around."
Rong Yu didn't dare to move immediately.
Rong Yao didn't look at Rong Yu, but pinched him and said in a low voice: "We have read all the notes you left, I know you are not used to this place, and I didn't expect to find you back, but, I didn't expect you Did not leave."
Rong and tightly clenched the hands hanging by his side, tears flashed through his red eyes: "Is that right..."
"No need to apologize, it's not your fault." Although Rong Yao is only one year older than Rong Yu, he is a child of a poor family and has matured a lot earlier, "Is it better?"
"Um!"
"Let's go, Dad is still looking for you at the station, you should be in a hurry."
The place where Rong Yu squatted was about ten meters away from the train station. It was the corner of a postal bank, and there was a green belt outside. It was hard to find without looking carefully.
The two walked out from the corner. It was summer and the weather was very hot. The impoverished town could not afford concrete roads. Occasionally passing oxcarts and tractors kicked up dry dust, making people uncomfortable. There are very few street lights, and passers-by can only see the road by the lights from the small shops beside the street.
Rong Yu was not used to walking on the bumpy road, and Rong Yao grabbed him when he almost fell several times.
"Be careful when you step down, so that you can react in time when you step on a pit." Rong Yao turned his head to see his unfamiliar yet familiar brother, but the sky was too dark, so he could only see the outline.
She thought that when she and her parents came to this station to pick him up a week ago, what she saw was the young master with red eyes who didn't know much about the world. She was dressed brightly, her skin was almost transparent, and she looked the best. She was as helpless as a little rabbit that had fallen into a wolf's den.
Now that the summer vacation is just over, it is the busy time of farming, and they have half a day to pick up people, and they start to go out early and return at night every day to grab the harvest.
The two arrived at the station after walking for a while. The lights here were much brighter, and there were messy people everywhere. Most of them walked into the station with snakeskin bags on their backs. Some people stretched their necks to watch, as if they were picking up people. Even so, they still saw the anxious figure of Father Rong among the crowd in the distance.
He kept pulling people to ask questions, talking quickly, waving his hands when he was good-tempered, and pushing people away when he was bad-tempered. The security guard said something urgently in a low voice, but was pushed hard by the security guard and fell to the ground.
Rong Yao's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to shout that he had been found, the young man beside him had already rushed out, like a healthy little rabbit. Rong Yao watched Rong Yu shuttle through the crowd, and smiled, but his eyes were swollen uncomfortably.
Rong Yao didn't go over, watching the young man from a distance like an angry little rabbit, standing in front of Rong's father and the security guard who had already stood up, talking angrily, after a while, another man in a station uniform came out, and the other party smiled After saying a few words, the security guard seemed to apologize, and the older and younger walked towards her.
Rong Yao took a deep breath, held back the tears, smiled and waved to the two of them.
"Are you hungry? Dad, Dad will take you to have a meal."
Father Rong had been a soldier and had worked in the fields for many years. His body was very strong, but because he was exposed to the sun all the year round, he was also dark. Standing in the dark night, his face could hardly be seen clearly.
"I'm not hungry, let's go home and eat!" Rong Yu was so hungry that he swallowed unconsciously. He didn't feel it before, but now that he was mentioned, a terrible hunger flu came out, making him feel like he could eat a cow. But thinking about the situation of the Rong family, considering the most economical choice, it is better to go home to eat.
"Let's eat something!" Father Rong rubbed his swarthy hands. Years of hard work and soaking in muddy water had cracked his thick calluses. It looked a little scary, as if he would only need to peel off the thick layer. You can see the flesh inside.
"Let's eat, I'm hungry too, I'll eat buns, where's my brother?" Rong Yao didn't give him a chance to refuse.
"I… "
"Let's eat scallion pancakes. The scallion pancakes in town are the best. You can try them."
After Rong Yao finished speaking, he ran away immediately without waiting for the two of them to answer.
It was quiet for a while, but fortunately there were still a lot of noise around, so the atmosphere didn't fall into an overly awkward situation.
Rong Yu lowered his head, not knowing how to speak, he could only stare at the dark ground. Father Rong looked through the darkness at his son who hadn't seen him for fourteen years and ran away after a week. He secretly turned his head away, carefully wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
He was sorry for his son, he didn't take care of him when he was young, he got used to living a good life when he grew up, now that he realizes it, let alone buy him a good set of clothes, he even suffers from eating, no wonder he wants to run away.
Rong Yao came back quickly and bought two scallion pancakes and six steamed buns. The things in the small town are not cheap, and it cost her fifty cents, which is still acceptable, no, it should be called Ying Xun now. It was Ying Xun who weaved the dustpan with her for several days and sold it in the town for two days before earning two yuan. One cage.
When Rong Yao and Dad Rong came to look for someone, they had just returned from the fields, and they ran out with a water bottle without eating, and they were also very hungry now. I gave the scallion pancakes to Rong, took two buns by myself, and gave the rest to my father.
Although scallion pancakes are called scallion pancakes, they don’t have much oil. The oil at this time is still very expensive, and the pancakes are only barely fried. Some places are burnt black, but the pancakes are big, about eight inches, and have not been cut. If it was in the past, he wouldn't even look at it, but it's different now, Rong Yu's eyes are almost green when he looks at the scallion pancakes, he holds them up solemnly, puts them in the corner of his mouth, and takes a bite, the smell of the food almost brings tears to his eyes Come out again.
Before his rebirth, his greatest wish was to have a full meal, but he never thought that one day it would come true.
Rong Yao and Rong's father saw that Rong Yu was holding a big cake like a little rabbit holding a carrot, and his eyes couldn't help but smile.
Although Rong Yu has been pampered for more than ten years, he is very polite. Even if he can't eat well or sleep well, he has never lost his temper. It's just that he didn't expect him to run away silently.
The three of them didn't speak, and stood by the side of the road and ate everything.
"Father, let's go home after drinking the water!" Rong Yao took out his water bottle, raised his head and took a sip from the air, poured it a little faster, some flowed out, wiped the back of his hand cleanly, and handed the water bottle to Rong Yu: "The kettle has been washed, don't mind."
"En!" Rong Yu responded, and took a few sips.
The three of them packed up their things and started to walk home. Regarding the matter of Rong Yu's escape, the three of them tacitly didn't mention it.
Linshui Village is very far away from the town and remote. When they went out to find someone, they were lucky to meet a tractor from the next village that came to sell grain. They were not so lucky when they went back. go back.
At the beginning there was still a little light, but after leaving the town, it was difficult to see people, and the occasional 38-bar bicycle passed by with a few "bang bang" sounds, and then became quiet again. Unknown insects were chirping, and the cicadas were the loudest, which was very disturbing.
"Xiao Yu, have you ever eaten roasted cicadas?" Rong Yao broke the calm.
"I haven't eaten." Rong Yu replied, stretching out his hand to take the big kettle in Rong Yao's hand, Rong Yao thought it was him who wanted to drink water, but unexpectedly he just took it, the corners of his mouth curled up, and said: "It's best They eat golden cicadas, catch them and use a bamboo stick to insert them from the buttocks to the head, remove the legs and internal organs, put them on the fire and roast them, sprinkle some salt, they are very fragrant, I will take you to catch them when I go back.”
"Okay." The appearance and tone could not help but bring joy. In fact, his memory of a week with Rong's family in his previous life is already somewhat blurred, but he still has an impression of Rong Yao's lively personality.
"Have you ever gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms?"
"No."
"I'll take you."
"Have you ever fished in a river?"
"No."
"I'll take you."
Father Rong was watching the two children asking and answering, a smile could not help but froze at the corner of his mouth.
That kid doesn't know what's going on now.
