Li Zhen walked around the room for a long time with his hands behind his back, summarizing his words.
'Dong dong dong'
Yan Feng just saw Li Zhen walking around, and couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere was becoming more and more depressing. I feel the importance of things more and more.
Finally, Li Zhen stopped and asked, "Aunt Yan, do you remember what you saw and heard when you first opened a scrap depot here? Do you have a good memory?"
"I must have a good memory. What are you asking?"
Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, my memory is not very good. Suddenly thinking about it, I really want to forget what happened before I was ten years old. I wonder if you remember? Do you have any impression of my childhood?"
Yan Feng frowned for a moment: "What aspect are you referring to?"
Li Zhen's eyes were burning and he said in a deep voice: "Who are my parents?" '
"ah… "
Yan Feng was stunned on the spot.
Li Zhen continued to ask: "How did I grow up? Who was I raised as a child? Who was I breastfeeding? Who was I born to?"
"ah… "
Li Zhen added: "I can't remember anything about my parents. If I were adopted, I would have to have adoptive parents, right? But I don't remember either. I seemed to come out of thin air. Do you remember?"
"I... I don't know."
Yan Feng had a psychedelic look in his eyes, thinking deeply.
Li Zhen asked again: "I know that I picked up rubbish for my own education. But when I was a child and had no ability to pick up rubbish, who was raising me? Even if I was an abandoned baby, I still I don’t remember anything about my childhood. My memory was broken when I was ten years old. Do you remember?”
Yan Feng shook his head: "I. I don't remember."
Li Zhen said: "Didn't Aunt Yan say that her memory is very good?"
"Yes, my memory is very good. But I don't know who your parents are, and I don't know who you were raised by."
"Then what does Auntie remember? As long as it's something before I was ten years old, it's fine."
Yan Feng closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, his expression a little painful, because he was troubled that he couldn't remember it.
After a long time, Yan Feng said naa-naa: "I only have a little impression. I remember that you don't seem to be an orphan."
'buzz'
Li Zhen's scalp was numb.
Am I not an orphan
How could I not be an orphan
"Aunt Yan, you must tell me."
Yan Feng said: "I can't remember the details, but I remember when the scrap station was first built. You held a woman's hand and walked on that road, insisting on buying a candy figure. She refused to buy it for you and advised you to buy it. Learn some principles of life. Just cry loudly, and the woman will give you a hard lesson and spank you in the street. At the end of the spanking, the woman also cried. At that time, many neighbors came to persuade you. My impression of this matter is that it is relatively Profound, I don’t remember the rest.”
"A woman..."
Li Zhen was shocked and confused. There had never been such a person in his memory.
Want to buy a candy man yourself? Li Zhen never remembered such a thing happening to him.
"Aunt Yan, can you tell me what kind of woman you are?"
"You were seven or eight years old at that time, you should be seven or eight years old. That woman was about thirty years old, very beautiful, but dressed plainly and had long hair. But now that I think about it, I can feel that that woman had a good temperament. "
Li Zhen sat down and asked himself, has there ever been such a woman in his life
No.
I have never had any impression.
He could never remember having such a woman who disciplined him in his studies when he was young.
Yan Feng murmured: "Maybe that's your mother."
Li Zhen was stunned: "Why is Aunt Yan so sure?"
"Because that woman's attitude toward you is kind and stern. I don't know."
Li Zhen nodded and tried hard to recall, but his memory was blank. No matter what, I never imagined that there was such a person in my life.
Yan Feng added: "I didn't pay much attention to you before. Your family seems to be quite withdrawn, and you are also quite withdrawn. You don't even keep in touch with your neighbors."
"Aunt Yan, do you remember when that woman left?"
"I don't know. In my memory, I only met her once. Then everyone said you were an orphan, so I thought you were an orphan. Later, you were indeed an orphan, and the house was empty only with you. Alone. No one knows when she left. It was quiet..."
"Don't you know when she left? Besides her, was there anyone else?"
"I don't know about this. I haven't seen it. In fact, it should be clearer if you ask your neighbors at the time."
Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "I don't remember my neighbors at that time. Aunt Yan, you are right. I seem to have always been quite withdrawn and have never interacted with the neighbors around me. Maybe we would know each other if we met, but I can't even name them. "
Yan Feng said: "I know them. You don't know them, but I remember them. I'll find them for you. You can ask them."
"Thank you Aunt Yan."
“…”
With that said, Yan Feng left. He hurriedly went to help Li Zhen find a neighbor.
But Li Zhen couldn't help but think deeply while sitting in the room. His guess was correct. When he was so young, it was impossible to support himself. Supporting oneself is another matter.
Sure enough, an adult appeared in his life before he was ten years old.
But who is that woman
Is it his mother
But Yan Feng's memory is very far away, and she doesn't remember it at all.
About half an hour later, there was noise from outside, and Yan Feng opened the door and walked in with two or three excited women.
"Li Zhen, Li Zhen, you ask them. Do you still remember this? They lived next door to you at that time."
The two women also looked at Li Zhen with bright eyes:
"Oh, the little brat back then is now famous. It's really touching."
"I still remember that you used to study hard. I said at that time that you will definitely not be a fool in the future. Sure enough, you are now the pride of Hangzhou."
"Li Zhen, do you still remember auntie?"
“…”
Although he couldn't remember their names, Li Zhen could recognize them when he saw their faces.
He quickly greeted with a smile.
But I was a little hesitant, not sure whether I should say it or not. After all, this secret involved a lot.
Yan Feng saw Li Zhen's concerns and said quickly: "Li Zhen, please feel free to speak boldly. I tell you, our Hangcheng County, especially the old neighbors in the past, are different from the people outside. No matter how close you are to people outside, , we will betray you when we encounter benefits. But Hangcheng County will not. We all treat you as our own son, and we do not mean to take advantage of you. That is to say, even if we Hangcheng County people die, we will never Might betray you.”
The aunt also smiled and said: "Li Zhen has nothing to worry about. If the people in Hangcheng County can't believe it, then no one in the world can be trusted. You are the only pride that comes out of Hangcheng County. If you are not bragging, Even if you want to overthrow the Jiuzhou Party and rebuild the country now. If you tell Hangcheng County openly, no one in Hangcheng County will say a word to anyone else. Because everyone knows to spread your secrets. If you don’t treat you well, no one wants you to be ill.”
Li Zhen didn't know how to express it, and felt warm in his heart.
The strongest backing is indeed the people from my hometown.
After hesitating, Li Zhen finally asked the same question as Yan Feng.
