Why we meet so late - Chapter 739

Li Xiaofu learned about the death of his youngest son.

He took a leave and went to the river with other long-term workers to salvage his son’s body. He didn’t blame Shun Bo. He didn’t even scold him. After burying his little son, Li Xiaofu planted a willow branch in front of his son’s grave. Shun Bo slapped himself in the face: “Dad, you beat me and beat me to death. It’s my fault. I didn’t take good care of my younger brother… I shouldn’t be a shepherd behind your back…”

Shun Bo knelt down in front of his brother’s grave, tears streaming down.

“Boy, how can dad blame you? Dad can only blame himself for being useless. He can blame the world that can’t see the sun. There is nothing to eat at home. Why don’t you tell Dad the truth? Even if my father died, he would have to beg for food for you

With that, Li Xiaofu held his son and cried. When his younger brother died, the housekeeper of the Liu family didn’t let Li Xiaofu stay more for a day, and forced him to continue to work“ Dad, you go, pay off the debt early, and come back early. It’s good to be a shepherd. I have food and drink, and my boss treats me well. ”

Li Xiaofu nodded with tears in his eyes. Shun Bo doesn’t know. This is the last time he meets his father.

Shun Bo is already familiar with herding sheep. His posture of waving sheep whip is more and more sophisticated, and his boss is also relieved of the child. Sometimes a happy, owner lame wife also specially give Shun Bo an egg. Shun Bo looked at the yellow egg and couldn’t believe his eyes. This is an egg. It’s all expensive. It’s a good food that you can’t eat during the Spring Festival. Shun Bo put the egg in his arms and covered it again and again. After a fork in the road, that is the last time lilac rice into the place. In Shun Bo’s heart, he has regarded lilac as his friend“ Yes, this egg should be given to clove. She gives it to me, and I give it to her, too. ”

At dusk, Shun Bo waited and waited, but he didn’t see lilac. Shun Bo began to panic: “it’s all this time. Why hasn’t she come yet? Are you sick at home? ” Shun Bo has the idea to visit clove. He knows where lilac lives. Forget it. If you don’t come, you won’t come. Maybe she will come tomorrow.

The next day, the owner gave him another egg. These are the two. Shun Bo watched the sheep graze, so he climbed to a big tree and looked at the front from a distance. Sure enough, there was a little red dot coming in front of him. The little red dot was getting bigger and bigger. Shun Bo fixed his eyes on it. Who was the clove? Clove or as usual, elbow son carrying a small bamboo basket, while walking, while wiping sweat son, big braid a swing. Far away, Shun Bo called: “lilac, lilac… I’m here…”

Clove also saw him. In the sun, there was a row of neat teeth. Shun Bo jumped down from the big tree. It’s more than two meters high. Clove is still very afraid, she worried about Shun Bo jump lame“ Oh, be careful, be careful… “Shun Bo rolled on the ground and told lilac with a smile:” it’s OK, it’s ok… “This is what his father told him. If he jumps too high and his feet hurt, he has to roll quickly, and he’ll be OK. Otherwise, if you jump down, you will be lame.

“Here you are!” Shun Bo covered his chest. Fortunately, the egg didn’t break or break. Clove against the tree trunk, looking at Shun Bo carefully holding the eggs, strange to ask: “where did you get the eggs?”

“I didn’t eat what my boss gave me. I gave it to you!”

“No, I won’t!” Clove quickly waved, “I’m full, you eat.”

“Oh, that’s what I kept for you, especially for you!” Clove always said no, Shun Bo is really depressed.

“You can give it to your brother. By the way, how come I haven’t seen your brother for days? ”

This remark hit Shun Bo. Shun Bo lowered his head and his eyes were red. He told clove chokingly that his brother was dead. It was his fault that he didn’t take care of his younger brother. He ran to the river to catch fish and drowned. Clove a listen also very sad“ What a pity, what a pity… ”

She was also silent, because she didn’t know how to comfort Shun Bo. In fact, in rural areas, especially in backward rural areas, the rate of premature death of children is very high, there are all kinds of death methods. Some died of fever, some died of drowning, some died of coughing, some died of eating poisonous things, some died of being bitten by poisonous snakes and insects

In the end, it was Shun Bo who spoke first“ My younger brother went to accompany my mother, so I will accompany my father well. My father will be back in 20 days. ”

“Well.”

“Although the days are poor, my father and I depend on each other.”

“Well.”

“I’ll have big white steamed bread.”

“Well.”

In short, Shun Bo said, clove on the “um” sound. She felt that this was also comforting Shun Bo. Children’s hearts are innocent. Finally, the two eggs, Shun Bo and clove, were eaten separately.

“It’s your father who delivers meals every day, isn’t it?”

“No, he’s my uncle.”

“What about your father?”

Clove said: “I have a father, but my father is not good to me, my mother died early, stepmother gave birth to a bunch of children. My uncle is my father. I won’t go back anyway. ”

“Oh.”

Shun Bo asked Dingxiang, will you come back tomorrow?

“It depends on the weather. If it rains, I won’t deliver food, because my uncle won’t come out either. ”

“Well, it’s raining, and I don’t herd sheep.”

It’s like a tacit agreement. Except for rainy days, sunny days and cloudy days, they all spend time here to play and chat. Shun Bo starts to pick some flowers and grass, weave them into baskets and wreaths, and give them to lilac. I like cloves when I see them. Clove see Shun Bo’s shoes broken, showing two big eyes, smile: “I give you shoes, I do shoes can look good.”

“Really, do you really know how to make shoes?” Shun Bo is very excited. The shoes on his feet were picked up outside last time. Shunbo hasn’t worn new shoes for several years since his mother died.

“Yes. You see what’s on my feet, that’s what I made for myself. ” Shun Bo looked down at clove’s feet. Blue vamp, black upper, vamp also embroidered a red flower, really good-looking.

“You make shoes for me, but I have no money.” Shun Bo was shy.

Clove is not happy, big braid throws: “I want your money to do what? Didn’t you say we were friends? What money do you talk about when you are friends? ”

“But…” no matter what, Shun Bo always felt sorry. Therefore, he thought of an idea: “you help me make shoes, I don’t owe you. I’ll… I’ll deliver the meal for you! ” After all, it takes two feet to deliver food. It’s physical work. Men are always stronger than women. Shun Bo thought about it. He helped lilac to deliver it. Lilac has a rest here. Well, you can make shoes by the way.
