Microsiction: Birthmarks

01

When she walked into the village called Shade, her face showed undisguised surprise. Although she had heard a reporter friend around her say that she was very poor here, the degree of poverty far exceeded her imagination. Mud-built houses, low and dilapidated. A dirt road, potholes. Several children ran barefoot on the ground, saw them, watched curiously with their fingers, and when they approached, they scattered again.

In the office of Yinzi Primary School, the reporter introduced her: "This is an entrepreneur in the provincial city, willing to sponsor our school." The black and thin headmaster was so shocked that he almost dropped his pipe, rubbed his hands on the placket, and said busily: "Sit, please sit." Then he made tea, took a tea box and poured it for half a day, poured out some tea powder, and rinsed it with boiling water.

She sat down and looked around, feeling a little bitter. At this time, a crunchy voice sounded outside the door: "Report!" The headmaster turned around and said, "Come in!"

The door opened, and a little girl came in, holding a folded team flag in her hand, and when she saw the living people, she hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and placed it on the table.

She suddenly felt her throat dry and her voice a little hoarse, and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl lowered her eyes shyly and said, "My name is Zhao Ni'er." ”

10 years ago, she was so stupid that she fell in love with someone she shouldn't love. Gave birth to a girl who was crying and whimpering.

He didn't show up, he just asked some money to come. She didn't have much resentment. For many years, she was used to it. She knew his identity, limiting his behavior.

She woke up groggy and suddenly found that the children around her were gone! She went to him like crazy, tugged at his clothes and asked, "What about my child?" He was angrier than she was, pushed her away, and growled, "Do you know that this child is going to ruin all my efforts?"

She was dumbfounded. He sorted out his clothes, looked at her, seemed unbearable, said "Shadow Village", and turned away.

Unexpectedly, he died in a car accident not long after, and the last 3 words left behind, "Shadow Village", became a permanent pain in her heart.

Fast forward 10 years. For 10 years, she did not move and never remarried. In the past 10 years, she has experienced the sword and light shadow of the mall, and has become strong and capable step by step. In 10 years, her chain stores opened all over the provincial city, and she became a famous entrepreneur, well known to everyone.

But the pain in my heart never subsided. In the darkness of the night, she couldn't sleep all night, and her hair fell a lot. Doctors said she suffered from an anxiety disorder and that if she did not hurry up for treatment, menopause would be advanced.

She smiled bitterly. How could her illness be cured? Unless you find your own daughter.

Go find your daughter! The idea lit up with lightning and flint, more and more dazzling, and never extinguished again. Yes, she now has the ability to find her daughter.

After many inquiries, one of her journalist friends finally helped her find a place called Yinzi Village, deep in a remote mountain.

She promised the principal to rebuild the leaking classrooms and, in addition, to build a library.

The headmaster took her hand with a pair of rough hands, tears welling up in his eyes. He said: "The children will not forget you, please be our honorary principal." ”

On the playground, the children stood neatly, and her gaze gently caressed each child. She saw a pair of spring-like eyes—Zhao Ni'er's eyes.

Zhao Ni'er is 10 years old, in the third grade, and her family is extremely poor. Her father broke his leg on the mountain and lay for many years, her mother was not in good health, and many of the work in the family was done by Zhao Ni'er after school. But this child is angry, and his homework is excellent.

This was something she learned after she had deliberately asked the principal about it.

A ripple appeared in her heart, and she was suddenly a little frightened. She thought: I hope my daughter doesn't live in such a home.

She did not forget to look for her daughter.

Privately, she asked Zhao Ni'er, "Do you have any adopted children in your village?"

Zhao Ni'er seemed stunned, then shook her head and said with great certainty: "No." ”

She was a little disappointed, but she couldn't shake her determination. She couldn't help but like Zhao Ni'er. The sudden thought of popping up startled her, and if she really couldn't find her daughter, she could adopt one, like Zhao Ni'er. Zhao Ni'er was too bitter! She can give her happiness. Zhao Ni'er's mother, wouldn't be too opposed, right?

One Sunday, she took Zhao Ni'er to her home in town. She promised Zhao Ni'er to go to the bookstore with her to find a book, the story of the book, she had told.

That night, Zhao Ni'er was in her bedroom, looking east and west, full of novelty.

Under the light, she looked at Zhao Ni'er with joy and suddenly said, "If only I had a daughter like you." ”

Zhao Ni'er just smiled and curled the ends of her hair with her fingers.

She asked, "Would you like to be my daughter?" I take you to the provincial city, get the best education, wear the most beautiful clothes, eat the best food, and live the happiest life. Would you like to?" Zhao Ni'er nodded, and shook her head busily, there was some yearning in her big eyes, and more confusion.

Late at night, Zhao Ni'er fell asleep, breathing evenly. She sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at Zhao Ni'er in the moonlight, and slowly she reached out, lifted the quilt, and reached for the corner of Zhao Ni'er's clothes...

"Ah—" Zhao Ni'er screamed and sat up, staring at the frightened eyes, stuttering and asking, "Principal Song, you, what are you going to do?"

She was also frightened by the screams and sat on the ground. She covered her face, tears flowing from her fingers, and 10 years of pain poured out in an instant. She murmured, "I have a daughter, as old as you, but shortly after she was born, she was taken away... Under her left armpit, there is a blue birthmark..."

birthmark. yes. This birthmark not only grows on her daughter, but also burns in her heart. For so many years, as long as she saw a little girl who was about the same age, she couldn't help but want to see her child's left armpit.

Zhao Ni'er listened with trepidation, her whole body trembling, hugging the quilt tightly, and her mouth was wide open. Zhao Ni'er left the next morning. Before leaving, the quiet girl said a lot.

Zhao Ni'er said, "Principal Song, I will not go to the provincial city with you." My family is poor, but we are very happy. My dad went up the hill to get medicine for me and broke it. That year, I had asthma, it was always bad, my father worked during the day, and when it was not dawn, he went to collect medicine..." The little girl choked up a little, and then said: "My father said that the happiest thing for him is that every day I come home from school and shout ' Daddy I'm back.' This sentence can sustain him to live. My mother, is the best mother in the world, that time I also fell down the mountain, the head was broken, bleeding too much, the doctor said to transfuse blood, my mother gave me the blood transfusion, after the transfusion she fainted. My mother and I are both B blood types, and my eldest cousin said that only the closest people are the same blood type..."

Zhao Ni'er's face was full of tears, she wiped it, paused and said, "There are no birthmarks under my left armpit." ”

The little girl was gone. Before leaving, he also asked, "Principal Song, did you come to Yinzi Primary School to find your daughter?"

This sentence suddenly made her feel self-conscious.

Zhao Ni'er left, and it took her half a day to come back to her senses. Slowly sitting down, she thought: It's been half a year, and I should go back.

Before returning to the provincial capital, she decided to do one more thing: select 5 children, and she will continue to donate. Zhao Ni'er is also among these 5. But Zhao Ni'er dropped out of school.

When the principal told her, her heart was no less than an earthquake. The principal said that her mother had stomach cancer and that Zhao Ni'er was going to quit school to support her family.

She ran to Zhao Ni'er's house in one breath. Zhao Ni'er looked at her, only shed tears and did not speak. She took Zhao Ni'er's mother to the provincial capital. She asked the best specialist to diagnose it. Zhao Ni'er stayed at home and took care of her father.

God seems to be unable to bear to take away well-wishers, Zhao Ni'er's mother only has a benign tumor in her stomach, which can be lifted by one operation. Her heart was unspeakably relieved.

The operation was a success. After the operation, Zhao Ni'er's mother lived in her house, looking at the large and comfortable room, envious and admiring her. She smiled and said, "I still envy you, raising such a good daughter." He said, a little darkly: "I also have a daughter... Born to be taken away... There is a birthmark under her left armpit..." After saying this, she wiped her tears and laughed, laughing to herself: "Look at me, I am about to become Xianglin's sister-in-law." ”

Zhao Ni'er's mother did not expect that this graceful woman in front of her also had troubles, but she listened and suddenly opened her mouth in surprise...

She sent Zhao Ni'er's mother home, and the whole village came and looked at her as if she were a savior. Zhao Ni'er hugged her mother tightly, and then turned around, "pounced" and knelt down for her... Everyone present was impressed.

She was finally leaving. Sitting on the bus back to the provincial city, she actually had a strong attachment in her heart. The daughter did not find it, but she gained a lot. In her bag, there was a pomegranate sent by Wang Qiang—it was the largest one on Wang Qiang's pomegranate tree, and there was a garland woven by Li Zhenzi—and the little girl deliberately ran to the mountain to pick it... What she got was the most simple and sincere love in the world. Also, Zhao Ni'er, a girl who was so precocious that she was distressed, let her know what happiness is.

The car started, and she silently said goodbye in her heart: goodbye, Shadow Elementary School, goodbye...

"Mother—" as if it were a natural sound, she was shocked. Listen carefully, clearly, the ears are not lying. Her heart suddenly trembled.

Behind the car, Zhao Ni'er ran hard, her pigtails scattered, her long hair fluttering in the wind, sweat and tears flying on her face, and she shouted with all her strength: "Mom-Mom-"

This sound resounded through the clear sky...
