My dad's life

"Uncle Zhao, give me a cone ice cream, and then a bottle of mineral water. The mineral water is not iced." Fang Yuan walked into the shop and said directly.

The old residents of Donghu Town basically knew Fangyuan, but he didn’t come back from college, and he didn’t know some new faces one after another. For example, Fangyuanjin’s small store has been in town for more than ten years. It's strange to know.

"It's Xiao Fang, when did you come back?" The small shop owner who was listening to the radio hurriedly stood up when Fang Yuan came in.

Uncle Zhao's son is a few years older than Fangyuan, and he will be several years higher than Fangyuan when he goes to school, but he is also a student of Fang's mother, so he is under the control of Fang's mother.

Father Fang was a police officer in Donghu Town, so Uncle Zhao opened a shop and inevitably dealt with the police. At that time, there was no urban management. The urban management was only established in 1997. It was caught by the police and controlled by Father Fang.

So when he was in elementary school, Fangyuan could walk sideways in Donghu Town. If Fang’s father didn’t say anything, Fangyuan would have been on a crooked road. What’s more terrifying is that Fangyuan did something bad outside. Before he got home, the news came back to Fang's father and mother, and the whole town was their eyeliner, so Fangyuan was very behaving when he was a child...

"It's been almost a month since I came back." Fang Yuan replied casually. This month he basically stayed at home and used DH language. Fang's mother and Fang's father thought he was doing private work, so they didn't bother him.

"I haven't seen you go out, but I often see your father with your daughter. I thought you didn't come back!" As Uncle Zhao stood up, he saw Xinxin and the little girl being pulled by Fangyuan.

"Xiaoshan?" Uncle Zhao also knew the little girl. Seeing the girl's dirty appearance, he couldn't help sighing.

"Grandpa Zhao." The little girl yelled softly, shrinking back.

"Come on, Grandpa will give you candy." Uncle Zhao took two lollipops on the counter and handed them to the two little girls.

This time the little girl did not refuse, she took it with a smile of joy, and held it tightly in her hand. Instead, Xinxin glanced at her father, and when Fang Yuan nodded, she reached out and took it.

Uncle Zhao went out of the counter and brought Fang Yuan a bottle of mineral water and a cone ice cream. Fang Yuan handed it to the little girl. The little girl didn't answer, but looked at Fang Yuan in a daze and shook her head.

"Take it, it's hot outside, be careful of heat stroke." Fang Yuan knelt down and said.

"Xiaoshan, take it, this uncle is your father's friend, it's okay." Uncle Zhao said, but Fang Yuan's heart moved when he heard the words, and she raised her head to ask, but she looked at the little girl and swallowed the words back. .

After hearing the words, the little girl glanced at Fang Yuan with some curiosity, and then reached out and took it.

Fangyuan stood up and said to Uncle Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, you will give me another ten dollars in cash, and I will transfer it to you with my mobile phone later." Fangyuan went out to pick up Lan Caiyi. He didn't have any money in his pocket, only one. Cell phone.

Uncle Zhao didn't know what he was asking for, but he still took ten dollars under the counter.

"These ten dollars are for the beverage bottle in your hand. Take the money and go home!" Fang Yuan bent over and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl is too young to settle accounts. Every time she takes a bottle to the waste recycling station, she collects as much as the boss gives. She doesn’t know whether it’s worth it or not. So she sees Fangyuan wants to collect the beverage bottle in her hand. Happily sold to Fangyuan.

Fang Yuan took the plastic bag with the drink bottle in her hand and asked, "Do you know home? Do you need your uncle to send you back?"

The little girl shook her head, glanced at Fangyuan, and at Xinxin, turned around and ran out of the door, but she seemed to remember something, holding a cone ice cream in one hand and holding mineral water in her arms, the other Holding a lollipop in his hand, he waved to them, a big smile appeared on his stained face, which was very beautiful, but Fang Yuan looked a little bit sour in his heart.

"Uncle Zhao, how much does it cost? I'll transfer your phone to you." When the little girl disappeared, Fang Yuan turned and said to Uncle Zhao.

"Two yuan for mineral water and three yuan for ice cream cones, a total of five yuan." Zhao Shu said casually.

"That's fine, I'll transfer you fifteen yuan." Fangyuan took out his mobile phone and paid.

"You can just give me five dollars. Give me the bottle in your hand, so I bought it." Uncle Zhao reached out and took the plastic bag containing the drink bottle in Fangyuan's hand. The tattered door to take away the waste paper boxes, plastic bottles, etc., is not a waste.

"That won't work. The bottle can be given to you, but the money cannot be paid by Uncle Zhao." Without waiting for Uncle Zhao to speak, he directly scanned the code and paid.

Uncle Zhao shook his head when he heard the words, sighed and put the beverage bottles in the corner of the shop. These beverage bottles were worth a few cents at most.

"Uncle Zhao, did you just say?" Fang Yuan did not say clearly, but Uncle Zhao understood what Fang Yuan meant in an instant.

Uncle Zhao took out a pack of cigarettes from under the counter, stuffed one into his mouth, and handed one to Fangyuan, but Fangyuan refused. He just wanted to light the fire when he saw Xinxin lying on the counter and looking inside, using it. Looking at him with big eyes, he took it down again, "That little girl's name is Chen Xiaoshan, she is Chen Chao's daughter."

"Xiao Chao?" Fang Yuan exclaimed when he heard the words, and his voice raised an octave.

Chen Chao is one of Fangyuan’s primary school and one of his best friends. Fangyuan, Chen Chao, and Ding Heping formed a trio of Flying Knights at Dongzhen Primary School. The influence of the film "Peter Pan".

Until junior high school, the three of them were very good friends. Among them, Chen Chao studied best, especially math. He was really talented. Unfortunately, due to family reasons, he went out to work after graduating from junior high school.

As for Ding Heping, he went back to Xia Jing to study in high school, because Xia Jing had a low score in the college entrance examination, and he was a native of Xia Jing. At the beginning, he still had contact with him, but gradually broke.

As for Chen Chao, when Fangyuan was in high school, he used to play with him every Spring Festival, but he gradually discovered that he was a member of society, such as hot hair, smoking, drinking, and playing mahjong. , Gradually there was less contact, and after I arrived at the university, I never contacted at all.

"What happened to Chen Chao? Why did he let her daughter come out to pick up the trash?" Fang Yuan remembers that the last time he saw Chen Chao, the thin guy was white and fat, and he drove a brand new Santana, reportedly outside. He earned a lot from working. For this reason, Fang's father compared him with Chen Chao, saying that a person his age still spends money at home, and that everyone has made money to buy a house and a car.

"The year before last, their family ran into a car accident when they drove out. Chen Chao's parents and his wife were all dead. Chen Chao used his body to protect his daughter, and he became paralyzed. A good family collapsed all at once." After a long time, Uncle Zhao still felt a little embarrassed.

"Did the insurance company not compensate? And I remember that they had a house and a car, so how could they let such a small child out to pick up the trash?"

"What's the loss? He is solely responsible for the car that his wife drove. The money paid by the insurance company was not enough to compensate others. The house was sold, the car was also sold, plus the cost of seeing a doctor, where could there be any money? Last year it was really exhausted. , I can only move back, and now live in the old house before."

"Is there no one else in his family? Xiaoshan is too young to be..."

"What? You know that Chen Chao is an only child. Chen Chao really has an uncle, but his uncle's family conditions are not good. At the beginning, he took care of him. After a long time, no one will take care of him." Uncle said that in the end, the corners of his eyes were a little wet.

Fang Yuan was also silent when he heard this. Human nature could not withstand the test. Rural people have a kind heart, but they also have a cold nature.

Uncle Zhao knocked the cigarette in his hand on the counter, and then said: "We think this child is pitiful, and he helps the village one or two on weekdays, but how much can I help? Chen Chao came back this time, probably not wanting to die outside , But I have suffered this child, at such a young age... You can go see him when you have time, I guess you won't see him a few times."

Fang Yuan nodded when he heard this. In fact, if Uncle Zhao didn't say it, he would go.

Fang Yuan pulled Xinxin out of the shop with a heavy heart. Uncle Zhao lit the cigarette in his hand and leaned on the recliner. Lu Fang's song "Friends Don't Cry" was playing on the radio.

Is there a window

Can make you not despair

Take a look at Huahua World

Turns out like a dream

Someone crying

Someone laughs

Someone loses

Someone old

It's not the same to the end

Is there a kind of love

Can keep you from getting hurt

How much has accumulated over the years

Sincere words to you

What can't be sober

What pain can't be forgotten

Move forward

It's impossible to look back

Friends don't cry

I'm still the home of your soul
