Novel "The Aftermath" (XI)

I never imagined that the beggar with gray hair and tattered clothes in front of me would be my former classmate Xu Qingjiao. I saw him sitting next to a garbage pond, devouring a bun, flies flying around him, and from time to time there was a fishy smell coming from him. I crouched down to see if this man would be my mad father, but I didn't expect to meet him here.

At this time, I was driving a big run, wearing a suit and leather shoes, wearing a famous watch on my wrist, and the latest Huawei mobile phone in my pants pocket. He probably wouldn't have dreamed that the gap between us today is already a heaven and an earth. I ran to the bun shop, bought a big bag of meat buns, and handed them to him. He saw the snow-white bun in my hand, his eyes lit up suddenly, and his two hands quickly took it. He looked up, how could the person in front of him be so familiar? He hurriedly spat out the steamed bun in his mouth and asked, "Where do we seem to have seen it?" ”

I smiled and said, "Yeah! You noble people forget things, we are still classmates! ”

He slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory! You're in the backyard, right? Didn't think it was really you! ”

He crawled up to me on his knees, probably very excited.

I said, "How do you get it?" How did it end up here? ”

He cried. Listening to his story, I knew that he deserved it! At first, after he was expelled from school, he also came to the city to make a living. At the beginning, he was reluctant to work in the factory and wandered around the vegetable market all day. Later, he met a big brother who collected protection money here, and he has been mixing with this big brother ever since. Collect protection fees, watch the scene for people, solve some troublesome things, and do everything. At that time, his life was very leisurely, and he had money to spend. Later, when they encountered the anti-gang crime and the elimination of evil, their criminal organization was wiped out. The eldest brother was sentenced to death, as were several other gangs. He was lucky enough to be sentenced to fifteen years. Later, because of his meritorious reporting and good performance in prison, after a series of commutations, he only sat in prison for more than three years before he came out. After he came out, he had no skills and was a person with a previous conviction, and no one wanted to work. In order to survive, he became a thief and ran to people's hometowns at night to steal cattle. He managed to succeed a few times, but was eventually caught. Angry villagers broke his legs and threw him into the street! He could only live by begging.

Listening to his story, I sighed. I said, "You're retribution!" How beautiful you were back then! When you bullied me, did you ever think about my feelings? Your parents banded together to beat my mom, and your whole family is not a good thing! ”

He cried and kowtowed to me, crying and saying, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Sorry, I was wrong! ”

I threw him a hundred dollars and turned away. I got into the car, clicked on the engine, looked no further at him, and drove away with my big run.

I just want to find my own father, no matter how hard it is!
