Home of Rebirth

When Xia Yue came home, the third aunt had already left, and Xia's mother was preparing to cook. The beans left over from yesterday could be eaten again once they were reheated. Scrambled eggs are almost enough.

Xia Yue glanced at his mother's thin back, and thought of his father who was still sitting lost on the bridge, and the wetness that had just been suppressed from the corners of his eyes came up again.

He sat on the threshold with his head bowed.

Xia's mother glanced at it: "What are you doing sitting on the ground in the cold weather, get up quickly"

Xia Yue didn't move.

"I told you to get up, did you hear me, come here and get two eggs for Mom"

"..."

Xia Yue sniffed, wiped the cold tears off his face, got up and took out the eggs from the cupboard, then silently walked to Mother Xia's side, and put the eggs down.

"What's the matter? You're so sluggish?" Xia's mother was surprised. Normally, this child would always cheerfully talk to her and make her happy. Why is he in such a low mood today? Xia's mother didn't bother with the eggs. Things, quickly wiped his hands, raised his feet to catch up with Xia Yue, turned his small body to look, Xia Yueyue still had tears in his eyes, the corners of his beautiful and slightly raised eyes were now bright red, and his little face was also pale, The pitiful look is extremely innocent.

This made Xia's mother tremble in her heart: "What's wrong, son? Who bullied you? Tell mom, who bullied you?"

"...Mom..." Xia Yue looked at his mother's worried expression, and as soon as he opened his mouth, tears fell down.

"What's the matter?" Xia's mother panicked. It may be because Xia Yue is too sensible recently, so she has rarely worried about her son, because Xia Yue always looks confident with his small chest in front of her. Seeing him crying so sad again now, Mother Xia couldn't be bothered.

"Mom, I saw my dad on the bridge just now..." Xia Yue choked, hugged his mother's waist, and said in tears: "Uncle and Uncle Six went to find my dad, and they must force my dad to give up his job. , Said that my dad is the third brother who has to take care of the younger brother, and he knelt down for my dad...Mom...my dad has no choice. You say he is not smart. And I’m afraid you’ll scold him for not daring to go home... Sitting alone at the end of the bridge...Mom, can you stop scolding my dad..."

Xia's mother froze for a moment, her half-length hair was dyed reddish brown, and now it was tied in a mess behind her head. She put her arms around her son and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a sound. Looking up, she saw Xia's third son Pushing the cart and standing at the door, staring blankly at their mother and son, his eyes were red like his son's.

Mother Xia lowered her head and didn't speak, but just wiped Xia Yue's cheeks with her sleeve.

Xia Lao San also pushed the car in silently and put it away, then went into the house to wash the handles, then went to the kitchen, saw a few eggs on the cutting board, and knew that his wife wanted scrambled eggs tonight, so he just reached out and took them A bowl, lightly crack the eggs on the side of the bowl, and then start stirring the eggs quickly and regularly with chopsticks.

Xia's mother looked up at Xia Lao San's back, sighed, and patted Xia Yue's back: "Go out and play, dinner will be ready later, let your dad call you"

Xia Yue looked at his father, then at his mother, then nodded and turned to go out.

Xia's mother watched her son go out, and then went to the kitchen, and took the egg bowl in Xia's third hand: "Let me fix it, you go and peel me a green onion."

Xia Lao San raised his head, hesitant to speak, but in the end he didn't dare to speak, and lowered his head to the side to peel the onion.

Mother Xia continued to stir the eggs, and after a while, she stopped and said softly: "Don't go to the factory tomorrow, let your sixth child go."

Xia Lao San raised his head, and said a little bit guilty after a while, "Then what does our family rely on to survive?"

"Why can't you live? You're the sixth son in your family who sticks to this crappy job. Didn't you always want to go to Feng Wang's place?" Mama Xia took the green onion in his hand and said as she cut it: "I'll have more tomorrow!" Cook a few dishes, go and invite Feng Wang, and ask him if there is still a shortage of people there."

"Really?" Xia's third son was full of surprise: "Are you willing to let me go to Brother Feng?"

"En..." Xia's mother responded lightly: "Even if you don't give up the job to Xia Laoliu, as long as your brothers and sisters are bullied in the factory like you, why don't you go to Feng Wang's place and earn less? Earn less, Feng Wang won't spoil you."

"Hey! Hey!!! Then I'll go to Brother Feng tomorrow!!" The third Xia's voice was full of excitement.

In this way, Xia Yue, who was standing in the courtyard eavesdropping, felt a little relieved, turned around and left the house, the deep and simple alley was covered with the afterglow of the setting sun, Meng Huaiyuan leaned against the wall and waited for him, and when he looked further away, he could see An The national flag in the playground of Qiao Middle School stands quietly in the brilliant sunset.
