A young educated youth who repays his gratitude

Chapter 3

"Forget it." Bai Lele realized that his reaction was too violent, and waved his hands sadly, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me."

She didn't say that she was married, nor did she say that the child was born, Bai Lele couldn't accept it.

He thought the two were good friends who talked about everything.

He went back to the back room in frustration, picked up the military coat and put it on, he couldn't stay here anymore.

He has to leave.

The more Bai Lele thought about it, the sadder he became. He came here wholeheartedly to repay Huo Changqing, never expecting this to happen.

The original plan was good, to live in Huo Changqing's house until the New Year's Eve, and then go to the city to rent a house after work, and come back during the holidays.

But I was accidentally assigned to a town, only 20 miles away from here, so I don't need to rent a house to live in, I just need to ride a bike to and from get off work every day.

This can help Huo Changqing better, and he himself is willing to live here, it is the best of both worlds.

"What are you doing?" Huo Changqing with a dark face, snatched the hat from his hand, "Where are you going?"

"You can go anywhere." Bai Lele snatched the hat back with her backhand, and said angrily, "I can't be here anyway."

"Why can't you be here?" Huo Changqing's eyes were deep, seemingly calm but there was a touch of complexity in it, "It's just that there is one more child, so I can't live with you anymore?"

"Is this something you can't live with?" Bai Lele felt inexplicably uncomfortable, her eyes blushed, "It was you who said you would never get married in this life, so I came here with all my heart, who knew you..."

His eyes were hot, his voice was a little choked, and he had to control his emotions to prevent himself from crying, "You are married and have a wife, can I still live here? I'm not so wink, disturbing your family."

He lowered his head without looking at Huo Changqing, put on his hat and scarf, picked up the big backpack, and said in a muffled voice: "Those two big luggage bags are filled with things bought for you, you can pack them yourself later. "

"I'm assigned to the middle school in the town. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. You can also ask your younger brother to send a message. Don't be embarrassed, I'm here to help you."

As Bai Lele talked, he couldn't continue. Huo Changqing got married and had a wife and children. He should be happy for him.

But he just couldn't be happy, he was so sad that he just wanted to leave immediately and couldn't stay for a moment.

What he thought in his heart was not to let Huo Changqing's daughter-in-law see that he was unhappy, he didn't know why he had such thoughts, his mind was messed up and his heart was very flustered.

"I'm leaving." Bai Lele walked out with her big bag on her back with her head down, "Don't give it away, too. Don't go out and freeze the child when he's still young."

"Okay." Huo Changqing stretched out his hand to hold him, his voice was low and dry, "I'm not married, and I don't have a wife, please calm down."

"What?"

Bai Lele raised her head in a daze, her head was blank, she looked at the tall figure standing in front of her, and muttered to herself, "Is there something wrong with my ears?"

"Don't be stupid." Huo Changqing sighed, a trace of helplessness appeared on his serious face, "You heard me right."

"How come?" Bai Lele was even more shocked, even more at a loss than when he heard the child called Dad just now, "Then your child..." Where did it come from?

Huo Changqing said that he was not married, which made Bai Lele even worse. His brain seemed to stop spinning and he was unable to think.

Bai Lele stared blankly at Huo Changqing, completely frozen in place.

Huo Changqing held the baby in one hand, and took Bai Lele to the bed with the other hand, "Hurry up and put down the backpack, and just stay there."

"Oh oh oh." Bai Lele finally came to his senses, he didn't feel stubborn anymore, and obediently unloaded his backpack.

A smile appeared on his face unconsciously, "What's going on with you? It confuses me."

"Are you being dumped?"

Huo Changqing: "..."

She didn't know what was going on in Bai Lele's head, and she didn't want to answer this unnutritious question, so she just kept silent.

"You say you." Bai Lele sighed, and said sympathetically, "Anything can happen."

He didn't think about the issue of Huo Changqing making other people's stomachs big and refusing to marry. Bai Lele understood how he was.

What I was thinking was that Huo Changqing had a heavy burden, the woman must have regretted it, or the family disagreed with it.

"It's hard for the child." Bai Lele sighed unconsciously: "It's hard for you too."

With eyes full of pity, he looked at Huo Changqing and said, "Don't worry, I will help you raise the child, and I will definitely raise him well."

Bai Lele saw the little boy, putting his arms around Huo Changqing's neck, lowering his head and resting his head on Huo Changqing's neck.

Some shyly said: "Did I scare him?"

He was too excited just now, the child might be timid and a little scared, Bai Lele was annoyed and ashamed of his actions just now.

His face turned red all of a sudden.

"How can you be so timid." Huo Changqing looked away, stopped looking at Bai Lele, and lowered his eyes to look at the child in his arms, "He just woke up, and he's still a little dizzy."

As he said this, he patted the child's back lightly with his hands, and said in a low voice, "Baby baby, don't be afraid."

The little boy turned his head and peeked at Bai Lele with one eye, which happened to collide with Bai Lele's eyes.

He immediately lowered his head again and called softly, "Dad."

Huo Changqing coaxed him, "Look up at uncle, be polite, right?"

"En." The little boy responded, then slowly turned his head to look at Bai Lele, and called softly, "Uncle."

"Hey." Bai Lele immediately agreed, and said happily, "Good boy, uncle will bring you something delicious."

He lifted a big blue and white striped luggage bag onto the kang, took things outside and said, "Everything I pack here is delicious."

He first took out a bag of toffee, peeled one and handed it to the child's mouth, "I'll give you candy, it's so sweet and delicious."

Baowa'er didn't open her mouth, but looked at Huo Changqing, "Dad."

"Yeah." Huo Changqing took the candy and fed it to him, "Uncle gave it, Baowa can eat it."

"Thank you, Uncle." Bao Wa'er mumbled her thanks with sugar in her mouth, and smiled at Bai Lele.

Baowa is white and tender, with a pair of round almond eyes that are black and bright, and her smile is particularly pleasing.

"Bao Wa'er looks so good-looking." Bai Lele smiled and rolled her eyes, her apricot eyes were exactly the same as Bao Wa's, "Uncle still has a lot of delicious food for you."

Huo Changqing saw that he was about to pick up something again, and he showed a bit of helplessness on his serious face.

It made him feel mixed, and he felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't want to explain too much.

There are some things that are difficult to say in front of children.

But Bai Lele obviously didn't forget about it, she was just too busy coaxing the child to ask, and now the child is smiling.

He remembered again, paused while holding something in his hand, and turned to look at Huo Changqing, "By the way, you haven't said what's going on yet?"

Bai Lele glanced at Baowa in his arms, "What's going on, can't you tell me?"

"How old is this child, is he sensible?"

"Four years old." Huo Changqing finally said, "You brought it back the day you left."

"I..." Bai Lele suddenly understood, his eyes signaled Huo Changqing, "It's not yours?"

Huo Changqing nodded. He sent Bai Lele to the city station, and when he came back, he passed by the city hospital and heard faint cries.

Looking around, there was a little baby under a big tree, and there was no one around, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hear such a weak cry.

Huo Changqing couldn't turn a blind eye either. He picked up the baby and saw that the situation was not good, so he went to the hospital.

Although he called the police, it still fell into his hands, because the child was obviously abandoned by his family because of his poor health.

It takes a lot of money to treat the disease, and since the family is not rich, obviously no one will adopt it.

Huo Changqing had no choice but to hug her back and try her best to support her.

"Oh." Bai Lele understood. Although Huo Changqing said vaguely, he still understood, "So that's how it is."

Bai Lele was neither sad nor confused anymore, with a bright smile on her face again, she kept taking out things from the bag, apples, oranges, pears, roasted chestnuts in sugar, all kinds of biscuits and pastries...

"Look at what this is?" Bai Lele took out a pack of red sausage and two Bazhen small tripe, "I bought it when I reversed the car in Harbin."

Huo Changqing looked at the things on the kang, frowned and said, "How much did you spend? Why did you buy so much?"

"It's Chinese New Year." Bai Lele said indifferently: "These things are not available here, so I want to bring you a taste."

Most of the things he bought were specialties from Beijing and Harbin, or rare items sold there that were not available here.

There are Guoguang apples here all the year round, and then there are frozen persimmons, frozen pears, frozen bonuses...these things stay the same all year round.

Bai Lele deliberately brought it all the way back, just to feed Huo Changqing.

"Try this orange." Bai Lele opened an orange, handed it to Huo Changqing, and said, "It's big and sweet. I wanted to mail it back for you, but it's a pity that the journey is too far, and it's all broken here."

Huo Changqing looked at the oranges in his hand, took it after a long time, and said blankly: "If you have money, save it yourself, don't waste it, I don't like to eat these things."

"All right, all right." Bai Lele nodded perfunctorily, "If you don't like it, it's fine if I like it."

He brought another luggage bag, "Here are the clothes I bought for you."

Bai Lele looked at Bao Wa'er who was obediently sitting in Huo Changqing's arms, "Oh! I didn't know I had him anymore, so I didn't give him anything..." Buy it.

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

"Who is it?" Bai Lele asked, "Is it Changping and Chang'an?"

"No." Huo Changqing got up, "They have gone to the eldest sister's house, and they have to wait two days to come back."

"Give me the baby." Bai Lele reached out to pick up Bao Wa'er, "It's cold outside, don't freeze him."

"Hey, let uncle hug you."

"Father, go and open the door." Huo Changqing put Bao Wa'er into Bai Lele's arms, "You wait inside."

Baowa'er was very obedient, the little group didn't cry or make trouble, but just looked at Bai Lele curiously.

It's just that a mournful cry came from the yard, which startled the two of them, and they both trembled.

"Help! Uncle."

Bai Lele lay on the window, watching a seven or eight year old child kneeling at Huo Changqing's feet, hugging his thigh and crying.

He couldn't help frowning with a bit of helplessness in his heart.

The Linjiang Brigade used to be called Huojia Village, and they could be said to be relatives. Huo Changqing was a senior because he had been studying and working in the city for more than ten years.

Everyone came to him for help.

Huo Changqing seems to be not easy to mess with, but he is honest and kind-hearted, and he can't bear to beg for help as much as he can.

It's just that he himself was in a rough half of his life.

Among the five sisters above, he is the only boy like him. His family loved and valued him, and he was sent to school with high hopes since he was a child.

He lived up to expectations and skipped grades all the way to school, but he was still unlucky and didn't catch up with the college entrance examination.

Later, because of his good grades, the school recommended him to work in a state-owned unit, and he was able to accumulate a few years of wages to build this big tile-roofed house.

It is almost the number one existence of the Linjiang Brigade.

But his mother ushered in twins, who were ten years younger than Huo Changqing, and died a few years later after giving birth.

Before Huo Changqing could breathe a sigh of relief, his father fell ill again and spent a lot of money. Two years later, he passed away and left him with a pair of younger brothers to take care of.

Due to various reasons, Huo Changqing could only give up his job in the city and return to the Linjiang Brigade to work as a farmer.

For more than 20 years, Huo Changqing not only has to pay for the old and the young in the family, but also takes care of several married sisters.

Coupled with the Huo family members in the brigade, Huo Changqing had a heavy burden on him, and Bai Lele felt distressed and wanted to help him share it.

Huo Changqing's care and help to him was not in vain.

Just like this little boy who was kneeling and crying, Bai Lele knew that Huo Changqing would not be ruthless.

Sure enough, Huo Changqing pulled up the little boy, hugged him in his arms and shouted into the room, "I'll go out for a while, I'll be back in a while."

"You're not wearing a hat." Bai Lele hurriedly took the hat and sent it out, but Huo Changqing had already left the gate.

"Oh!" Bai Lele sighed.

He looked at the baby in his arms, but he didn't dare to hug him and chase him out, so he had no choice but to go back to the house and wait.
