Two hairs
One
The street on Fumin Road is filled with the faint smell of pancakes mixed with the faint aroma of green onions, and a woman skillfully makes pancakes for the guests. On the front steps opposite the pancake stand, there was always a boy named Li Xingyu, and the Dabie Courtyard behind him was his home, but after he went to junior high school, this was no longer a home, just a simple house.
"Xiao Yun, come two pancakes, the old way, one put more green onions, one does not put it." A tall man looked at this woman named Xiao Yun happily. "Brother Ermao, do you eat this at me every day, don't you get tired of eating it?" Xiao Yun looked up and smiled. "Not greasy, not greasy, as long as you make it, how to eat, how much to eat is not greasy!" Ermao still looked at Xiao Yun happily.
Taking the pancake, he walked straight to Li Xingyu, "Now, to you." "Ermao handed the other one to Li Xingyu while eating." Don't eat or don't eat, you've been eating pancakes for 20 consecutive days this month, and I've eaten pancakes for so many days. No matter what, I won't eat anything today! "Li Xingyu complained." Yo, you little fart baby, such a delicious thing, you don't eat, don't eat pull down, really, I eat it all, don't eat hungry. "Ermao said like a father." Delicious is delicious, then who eats every day like you, obviously just like people Xiaoyun, so buy pancakes every day, think I don't know, cut! "Cut! You still cut, doll, do you know what love is? Your father..."
In the first year of Li Xingyu's first year, "Xingyu, your uncle Ermao has a bad fever, but our life is today, we can't stop, I and your mother decided to go together, or you first go to grandma's place for a few days?" Li Xingyu's father Li Hai said. His mother, a small thin woman, sat in a corner of the living room listening intently to the conversation between father and son. "Well, I'll go to see Uncle Ermao after school tomorrow, and then I'll go to Grandma's house for dinner when I'm done."
Li Xingyu's father and Uncle Ermao are coal workers, responsible for driving the train filled with coal to the destination, but on the way to ensure the safety of coal, and the train is only one or two sections, so at least two people, Li Xingyu's mother is a complete housewife, no work, usually do housework or sit in front of the gate and nag with other women.
Early the next morning, the two set off, but in the afternoon, the sky was not beautiful, the sky suddenly darkened, and then it began to drift lightly, and before long, the rain fell heavily. There is also a stream of water on the road...
It was another day, the rain was still raining, there was no one on the street, Xiaoyun's pancake stand was closed, there was no one in front of the gate, there was no life, and some sounds were just the sound of rain hitting the surface of the water on the ground.
At this time, two people in raincoats, runners on the street, looking a little hurried, ran to the door, slammed the door hard, drowned out the sound of the rain, and finally came out of the inside an old woman, walked to the door, and opened the door. "Yang Po, quick, something happened to your son." This old woman was Li Xingyu's grandmother, and Li Xingyu was still in class, so he locked the door. Upon hearing this, he was confused, "My son? Didn't my son go out with his daughter-in-law? Yang Po asked doubtfully, "You still go to Zhenkou with us." After one of them finished speaking, he dragged Yang Po outside, and the door did not lock, so he was helped to the town entrance.
Coming to the town entrance, this has surrounded a lot of people, plus it is raining, and it is impossible to see what is happening, "Get up, Yang Po is coming!" As soon as they heard that Yang Po was coming, several women rushed up to help Yang Po, and Yang Po was still confused. No one answered her, just gave way, let them go inside, walked to the place where the umbrella was placed, and suddenly saw two coffins.
Yang Po looked at it and remembered what she had just said, and her body, which was originally trembling with coldness, trembled even more, "This--this--this--my son's?" Yang Po didn't dare to think, didn't dare to ask, but there was no way, and the tone of her voice had changed when she said the next three words. The woman who was holding her next to her, I don't know who gently hummed 'hmm'. When Yang Po heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes and went to the back. "Yang Po, Yang Po." The person next to her immediately called her up.
I don't know who told Ermao, Ermao raincoats did not wear running over, the face did not know whether it was tears or rain, after all, it was a man, did not fall, ran all the way to the coffin, fell directly to the side, put his arm on the coffin "Hey! I'm sorry for you, it's all my fault, I should have gone with you! You shouldn't have been allowed to go with your sister! ..."Cried and said a whole bunch, and was also pulled aside by several men.
At this point a few people spoke, "What about this?" "Carry this to his compound first, you can't let it drizzle all the time." "Okay, go, carry."
This incident was very sudden, the whole town was very sad, this matter, Li Hai Company compensated 350,000.
Many days afterwards, Yang Po called Li Xingyu and Ermao over and said, "Xingyu, it's all over, don't be sad, don't think too much." Without saying a few times, the tears of the three people all fell, Yang Po looked at Xingyu, she didn't know what to say, turned to Ermao: "Ermao, you came back with Haizi, Xingyu is like your child, I'm old, a person just like this, but Xingyu is good, can't treat him badly, give, you take this." Saying that, he took out a passbook from his arms, "Ermao, this is the 350,000, I don't take it, you take it, Xingyu will hand it over to you, we adults are bitter, but we must not be bitter about the child, my wife begs you, you must send the child of Xingyu to go out." "Big Lady, this, I..." Ermao suddenly did not know how to be good, Yang Po pulled his hand and put the passbook in his hand...
Two
Ermao knew that he had mentioned something he shouldn't have mentioned, and he didn't say anything, so he put the pancake on the ground, "Don't talk, go, I'll go and see the big lady, eat this, Ming'er will give you a new one." "Finished talking and left.
Ermao was the person Li Hai met on the way when he first went out to collect coal. At that time, he was homeless, his body was in tatters, Li Hairen was good, and when he saw him, he came down and asked, "Let's go, follow me." So a few years later, the two brothers seemed to have a very tacit understanding. Ermao asked Li Hai, "Why did you let me do it with you in the first place?" Li Hai always smiled and said, "If it weren't for your strong stature and being a coal material, I wouldn't want you, hahaha." ”
Now that Li Xingyu is in his third year of high school, he is about to face the college entrance examination, and his academic performance in school is excellent, and it should be no problem to enter a good undergraduate university. In recent years, Ermao has taken care of Xingyu as a father and a mother, and also shows love to Xiaoyun who sells pancakes every day, every time whether he eats pancakes or not, he must go to Xiaoyun to look around to see if he has any work, and sometimes he helps to attract customers, his mouth is good, he always makes people laugh, causing people to always love to buy pancakes, and also loves to coax, from time to time to make Xiaoyun blush, Ermao just smiles.
Three
In the center of the town, Xingyu finished the last English exam and left the school, got into the car alone, and went home.
Ermao did not come, he came and left. Because something happened, Xiao Yun had an accident!
When Xiaoyun was making pancakes, the coal in the stove at the bottom may not be good, suddenly and suddenly exploded, Xiaoyun was injured, the family immediately sent her to the hospital, Ermao learned the news and gave Li Xingyu a word, and also rushed to the hospital.
After returning home, Xingyu still sat on the steps in front of the door, leaving his school supplies aside, looking at the fried pancake stall, and couldn't help but think of his parents, but he didn't cry, because he couldn't cry anymore.
"Coming back." Turning his head to look, Uncle Ermao, "How did you come back, over there in the hospital, Miss Xiaoyun..." Xingyu asked a little uneasy. "Still in treatment, her parents and relatives were there, and I said first come back and see you, in the past." Xingyu didn't speak. "That," Ermao said again, "I used 100,000 in my passbook." The more Ermao spoke, the quieter his voice became, and the slower his speech became, after all, it was not his money. He looked at Li Xingyu and wanted to know something, Xingyu didn't look at him, and continued to look at the place where it was blown up: "Use it, it was originally human life money, it should be used for human life." Just like this, Ermao's eyes were moist, "I may not come back for a few days to take care of yourself for a few days, or I will not go to Grandma's." "Hmm."
One day, two days, three days have passed, and the place that should have been lively is now only Li Xingyu alone and the "ruins" opposite. Li Xingyu still sat on the steps in front of the door as always.
After a few more days, Ermao came back and came back to find Xingyu.
"Xingyu, discuss something with you." "Hmmm"
"Xiaoyun was injured, the skin needed to be transplanted, the right eye was blind, saying that the retina was broken, and said that the thing could be used by others..." "You want to transplant." Li Xingyu already knew what he was going to do.
After a long time, "Hmm. Ermao replied, "I want to transplant, after the end of the normal life, I have already thought about it, when she is cured, I will leave and disappear again, so you will not see me in the future, come and discuss with you." ”
Li Xingyu fixed, looking at Uncle Ermao sitting next to him, the beard had not been repaired for several days, and people had become less spirited than before, Xiaoyun had hit him really hard, Xingyu looked at Uncle Ermao, the man who had accompanied him for several years after his father, "Hmm. ”
Ermao was shocked, turned his head to look at Li Xingyu next to him, and hugged him, hugging him tighter and tighter, and tears brushed down.
Four
A week later, at the mouth of the town, a man in a black coat wrapped himself tightly and a young man, Ermao and Li Xingyu. "Give, that 350,000, it has spent a lot in recent years, the last time there was 100,000 and more than 150,000, I took 50,000, you take the rest of it..." Xingyu took the passbook, "You--don't come back, even if you don't come back, that, my acceptance letter arrived, the best university in the city center may not come back later, come to see me later, then only I know you..." "Well, Xingyu, I'm sorry, uncle sorry for you." "Saying that, he took a letter from his pocket, 'Help me give this to Xiao Yun, Forehead, go.'" Ermao finished speaking and left. "Dad! Be sure to come and see me! ”
Ermao froze, and Xingyu actually called out to his father! This is the first time that Xingyu has called Dad in the past few years, and this is also the first time Ermao has been called Dad! Ermao turned his back on Xingyu, wiped his tears, and left.
Xiao Yun was discharged from the hospital, and immediately came to find Xingyu after being discharged, and Xingyu was still sitting in front of the door as usual. As soon as Xingyu was fine, he sat in front of the door, the door was always locked, he didn't want to enter the house, or he didn't want to enter the house.
"Xingyu, what about Brother Ermao?" Xiao Yun came over and asked, "Gone." Xingyu replied to him with just two words, and Xiao Yun was stunned. The mouth chanted "Go, he's gone, where can he go?" Xingyu, do you know where he went? Xingyu saw that Xiao Yun had to ask about his whereabouts, so he stood up. Say "I don't know, he left you a letter before he left." After saying that, he took the letter from his pocket and handed it to him. Xiao Yun seemed to have caught some clues and hurriedly unfolded the letter.
Xiao Yun, if you see this letter, you should be discharged from the hospital, I am gone, sorry, I did not tell you. I originally wanted not to tell you, but I was a little reluctant to do so, so I wrote a letter for Xingyu to give you. Forgive me for not saying goodbye, the moment I knew you were injured, I felt like my heart was dead. But then I heard that it was possible to transplant, and I didn't even think about transplanting. You are so good-looking, even if you transplant you are beautiful. I'm different, I'm a one-eyed dragon now, and I don't deserve you anymore. You are still young, find someone to marry again, and you can live a happy life again. I have Haizi in my life, and Xingyu, and Xingyu is like my son. I am also satisfied, you don't have to be too sad, live well. I will always bless you and I will always enjoy eating your pancakes. Goodbye, Little Cloud.
"Uh-huh... Ermao brother! Xiao Yun cried even harder, "I was blown up -- exploded into this -- like this, you -- you still do it for me -- do so much, now why can't I do it for you -- do so much!" Two--Brother Ermao, you come back! Don't you go!" When he finished, he burst into tears again.
A long time has passed, and there are still three days left before the start of xingyu school. Xingyu had already packed up his things and was ready to leave early.
On this day, Xiao Yun came to find Xingyu sitting on the front steps. "Xingyu, I heard that you are leaving tomorrow, and I wonder if I can go with you?" I don't mean anything else. Just want to go to the city center. In renting a stall, selling pancakes, and then looking for a brother two, if you have anything sister can help you. Do you think it works? Xiao Yun looked at Xingyu.
Xingyu didn't turn his head to look at her, looked ahead, and after a while, "Okay, yes." "I don't know what he was thinking." Thanks, then I'll go pack up. Xiao Yun finished speaking and ran home happily.
At noon the next day, everyone came to the station to deliver Xingyu. Including Xiao Yun, after all, Xingyu this child is also bitter, and he is also the only person in this town who has been admitted to the undergraduate. Everyone was happy, only Yang Po kept tears. His mouth was chanting, "Haizi, did you see it, Xingyu this child is in college." He went out, haha..." Laughing and laughing, she cried, and the women on the side helped her up, what a happy day, but unfortunately, they couldn't see it.
Five
Xingyu's university life is still ordinary. He took the 100,000 yuan given by Ermao. The neighbors gave more or less more than 20,000. Enough for his life, in college, Xingyu was as studious as ever.
Xiao Yun rented a shop next to the university and continued to sell pancakes. After all, it is a place where people are surging and the pancakes in the stalls are so fragrant, and the business is booming. Xingyu also came to help from time to time.
Shake it. Two years have passed since coming to college. I don't know if Xingyu and Xiaoyun forgot to forget Ermao, maybe Xiaoyun hasn't forgotten it. Although Xiaoyun had been transplanted, he was still like Ermao said. It is still very good-looking, and many men have come to try love in the past two years. But they were all rejected by Xiaoyun one by one.
One day, Xingyu was on holiday, Xiaoyun was spreading pancakes, and Xingyu was collecting money and looking for change for customers. At the moment when Xiao Yun looked up to hand over the pancakes. I saw a man wearing a black blindfold on his right eye. Xiao Yun immediately ran out, and the pancakes fell to the ground.
"Brother Ermao! Ermao brother! Xiao Yun shouted urgently, the man with the black blindfold saw it, and immediately ran up, Xingyu saw it, immediately put down the money and ran out, running out of a distance. He also saw that person, that person's back, really like Uncle Ermao. "Well, you can't go wrong, that's Uncle Ermao!" In Shu Xingyu's heart, he wanted to rush over immediately. More than a small cloud.
"Dad!" Xingyu hysterically shouted out the word, and when the man heard the word, he immediately stopped, and the word was strange and familiar to him. The same voice, again "Dad".
At this time, Xiao Yun also walked to Xingyu's side, "Brother Ermao." Weakly shouted, Ermao slowly turned around, tears already flowing all over his face. The body is constantly trembling! Xiao Yun saw him. Immediately ran up, hugged him, and cried, Xingyu slowly walked forward and said, "Dad, come back, we miss you!" ”
