Running teenager: I run hard, not to move forward, but to go back to the past

Some people run to try to move forward, and I try to run hard to go back in time.

When I was thirteen years old, a sudden and serious illness put the family's financial situation in a difficult situation.

In order to improve my family's life a little, I thought of a way to take advantage of the weekend to use a row of cars to pull the vegetables grown at home and sell vegetables at a vegetable market 15 miles away from home.

Because I was relatively young, in order to occupy a good stall, I had to drag my slender body every weekend, pull a row of cars, and come to the market early, running like the wind in the middle of a group of adult vendors.

Sometimes, in bad weather such as wind and rain, in order to avoid vegetables being damaged by rain, I also have to pull the rack car to race against the weather.

Once, when it was late when the food was sold, I was alone in the country road pulling a row of cars, walking on the country road where night fell, and suddenly there was a terrible scream on the side of the road, which startled me a lot.

Frightened, I dropped the rack car and ran in a panic, waiting for me to run home breathlessly, and found my parents at the entrance of the village with flashlights, anxiously waiting for me.

When I saw my parents, I suddenly shouted, "Dad, Mom..." and I fainted on the ground, unconscious.

When I woke up, my mother was standing by my side, holding a bowl of fragrant poached eggs, anxiously waiting, and the smell of the smell made me feel very hungry at once.

"What about my dad?" I asked as I pulled the poached egg in my mouth.

"Your dad went looking for a row car, what the hell is going on?" How did you lose the row car? ”

So I told my mother about what happened on the road.

"You may have just been frightened by something, scaring the soul away, don't be afraid, when you finish eating this bowl of poached eggs, your mother will take you to walk the previous road again, find the soul back, and it will be all right."

A moment later Dad came, with the platoon car that I had thrown halfway through.

When I finished eating the bowl of poached eggs cooked by my mother, my parents led me to repeat the path I had walked before.

"Baby, are you afraid?" Dad asked me.

"Afraid!" I was so frightened that I drilled into my mother's arms.

"Don't be afraid, there is Mom and Dad around, our family is together, we are not afraid of anything!" Dad comforted me, "Let's run together, run and shout at the same time, we won't be afraid!" ”

Later, the economic conditions of our family gradually improved, but I never forgot the bowl of poached eggs cooked by my mother that night, and the night road running with my parents in the countryside and shouting "looking for souls", which echoed to this day.

Now that I have grown up, my parents have gradually grown old, and I am no longer the weak teenager I was, but my parents are no longer young. I am running hard every day, not to move forward, but to be able to go back to the past, to be able to taste the delicious poached eggs made by my mother again, and to be able to relive the beautiful family affection that my parents ran together. #中国式亲情 #
