Back to 1993

"It's okay, I fell down." Gu Zhengdong was afraid that the children would feel uncomfortable, so he didn't dare to mention the beating.

Longlong didn't continue to ask, but with tears in his eyes, it could be seen that the child was feeling uncomfortable.

Xiaoqiang and Xiaoming did not speak, and were more silent than usual.

Gu Zhengdong was physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't have the strength to explain to them. He pushed the car into the yard and fetched water as usual.

There was no injury on his body before, so he just poured water on his body to wash it off, but today it can't work, especially if one hand is injured, it's awkward no matter what.

"Father, I'll wipe your face." Longlong said as he washed a towel and came over, he tiptoed and gently wiped Gu Zhengdong's face.

"Uncle, I'll help you wash your hands." Xiaoqiang soaked Gu Zhengdong's uninjured hand in the basin, put soap on it, and rubbed it with his little hand.Xiao Ming didn't make a sound, and took his own towel, dipped it in water, pulled Gu Zhengdong's injured hand up, and wiped every finger carefully.

Gu Zhengdong's eyes were sore, what happened to him today?VIP treatment is everywhere.

Grandma Bai heard the commotion in the courtyard, so she also came to have a look.

"Injured? Let me see?" She was anxious when she heard that Gu Zhengdong was injured.

"It's okay." Gu Zhengdong hurriedly withdrew his hand, afraid that she would see the blood on the gauze.

"Xiao Gu, I have something to do. I want you to do me a favor." Grandma Bai drove away mosquitoes to Gu Zhengdong with the cattail fan in her hand.

"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!" Gu Zhengdong said immediately.

"Look, these families have rented out the courtyard. I also have one vacant there. It's almost impossible to keep warm in winter, but it's still a few months away. It's fine to repair it. Why don't you find a tenant?" Grandma Bai is looking at the neighbors. Earn rent, heartbroken.

"Okay, I'll ask you tomorrow, how much is the monthly rent?"

"I don't know, the house next door is 50 a month, why don't you ask if this price is okay?" Grandma Bai said cautiously.

"No problem." Gu Zhengdong agreed, this is a small amount of money, even if it can't be rented out, he can find a way to give it to him, let Grandma Bai help take care of Xiaoxiao, it is also appropriate to give some money, but it can't be done directly, for fear of hurting love.

That night, Gu Zhengdong slept very restlessly, and when it was almost dawn, he suddenly heard movement.

He hurriedly got up and went outside to look, the sky was gray, and occasionally a few raindrops fell, as if a heavy rain was brewing.

Gu Zhengdong glanced at the things in the yard, sighed, and hurriedly found a plastic sheet to cover it.

His hand was injured, and after a night, it was painful and swollen, and he was struggling to work.

He pulled a piece of plastic sheeting to the largest pile of waste products, but he couldn't climb up. Suddenly, he felt that his hands were tight. It turned out that Xiaoqiang had also woken up. He didn't speak, and climbed up nimbly like a little monkey. Press something on the four corners again.

"You sleep a little longer, I'll get you something to eat, and you have to go to school later." Gu Zhengdong felt sorry for the child and slept too little.

"It's a holiday today, uncle, you're so confused." Xiaoqiang said with a smile, and it was obvious that he was really happy.

Gu Zhengdong couldn't help grinning, he was crying and wanting to go to school, did he regret it?

After breakfast, the sky was still overcast, but the rain did not come down.

"The weather forecast says there will be heavy rain today, Xiao Gu, are you still going out?" Grandma Bai asked with concern.

"Yesterday I agreed to it. I'm afraid that all the things are piled up in the yard and I have to bring them back."

Gu Zhengdong also had no way out, he agreed that 31 piles would collect waste products, and they would put all the things in the yard, which would be soaked by the rain, which was also his loss.

Silly Saner came early, Gu Zhengdong asked him and Xiaoqiang to pull the car that used to be Xiaoqiang's grandma, and he pulled the big cart himself, so that it would be more efficient and bring everything back before the heavy rain.

The two families were also very kind. Seeing that the weather was bad, they helped them load their cars, and quickly filled the two cars.

Silly San'er had great strength, and walked in front on a small cart, while Gu Zhengdong followed behind on a big cart.

At this time, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and the bean-sized raindrops fell, splashing the dust.

"Hurry up!" Gu Zhengdong shouted hastily.

The three children were pushing the cart, and the silly San'er pedaled vigorously, quickly leaving Gu Zhengdong behind.

When he rode his bike to the downhill intersection, the rain had already fallen, and it was pouring heavily, and he was completely drenched in the blink of an eye.

At that time, he was also a little panicked, he didn't get out of the car, and wanted to grit his teeth and push the car up.

But he didn't expect that halfway through the pedal, the rain was thick and made his breathing stagnate.Without holding his breath, he felt the tricycle slipping backwards quickly.

If it goes downhill, it will definitely turn over, the car is full of heavy objects, if you hit him, something bad will happen!

He didn't care about his injured palms, he pinched the hand brakes on both sides to the end, but he still couldn't stop the tricycle from sliding down.

Just when he was desperate, the car body suddenly stabilized, and then he felt a force arching upwards.

Gu Zhengdong hurriedly released the hand brake, pedaled hard a few times, and the car moved forward steadily. He felt that there was someone behind him, but lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and the world was dark, so he couldn't see who was helping.

It feels like there are two people, one on the left and one on the right, pushing the cart.

The children and Sha San'er got the car into the yard, ran out to meet him, and pulled the car up in front.Gu Zhengdong finally stopped the car, only to find that the people who had just pushed the car were gone.

Maybe an illusion?

Gu Zhengdong looked back at the alley, it was long and empty.

"Father, come in!" Longlong shouted vigorously.

Gu Zhengdong hurriedly ran into the house.Silly San also covered the car against the rain before running in.

Afraid that they would catch the cold, Grandma Bai was boiling water.

"Fortunately, I have a few slices of ginger here, but I don't have any brown sugar. Let's take a sip."

"Father, look at your hands!" Longlong shouted nervously.It was only then that Gu Zhengdong realized that the wound had been opened with too much force just now, and fresh blood flowed out again.

Fortunately, Director Huo still had something from last time, and he took it to treat the wound himself.

"What about Xiaoxiao? Sleeping in that room?" Gu Zhengdong felt that the room was a bit quiet.

Usually Xiaoxiao is at home, always jumping up and down, and she is the most active among the children.

"I slept in that room before I came here." Grandma Bai boiled the hot water, cut ginger slices and put them into the pot, and was pouring them into the bowl.

"Xiaoxiao?" Gu Zhengdong walked to the door and called to the next door. For some reason, he felt uneasy in his heart.

Every time he came home, Xiao Xiao had to look at him before going to sleep.Something is wrong today.

"I'll call my sister back." Longlong said, rushing into the rain.

He rushed into the yard next door, but within a few minutes, he rushed out, stood in the rain and shouted, "Dad! My sister is not here!"

Gu Zhengdong only felt his head bouncing, and the feeling just now was even stronger.

These people searched the two houses and the waste pile in the yard carefully, but they didn't see Xiaoxiao, so they realized that maybe something happened.
