C13 Abandoned Baby(2)
Another spring came, and a warm spring breeze blew. A few willows in the yard of the stone carving factory had tender yellow leaves, swaying gently and shyly in the breeze.
Liang Liang was lying on the bed of the gatekeeper of the stone carving factory, shaking the willows in boredom. This was made by Grandma with newly sprouted willow branches. When the belt leaves were pulled to the branches, they naturally formed a small ball. A few tender, light green balls hung on the white and thin willow branches. With a shake of the branches, the few balls swayed and danced elegantly.
In the beginning, Liang Liang felt that it was a little interesting and fun. Not long after, he got bored of playing. A few tender balls were also pulled down by him, leaving only the bare branches.
In the crowded room, a bed occupied a very large area. On the bedside table, there was a palm-sized red radio with a pop song. The music was so bright that it seemed like the music was deliberately shaking the white branches and beating the beat.
In the shed of the stone carving factory, Jiang Bin and Master Zhang were carefully looking at a white jade lion that had yet to be completed.
At this time, Jiang Shanshan's figure with her schoolbag flashed past the entrance of the factory. She called out to her father and jogged towards Jiang Bin who was in the shed.
Liang Liang heard the sound and jumped up from the bed to chase after her.
"Hey! San San is here to see Dad? Come! Quickly come!" Jiang Bin waved at his daughter non-stop.
San San was a few years older than Liang Liang. She had two pigtails and wore a loose red dress on her upper body. She flew towards Jiang Bin like a butterfly, beautiful and light.
Jiang Bin grinned and walked up to her. He picked up his daughter and walked around her. San San was so scared that she kept screaming, "Ah! Ah!" Jiang Bin put his daughter down and said with a smile, "You've grown taller again. " Then he burst into laughter again.
"How did you get here? Where's Mom?"
"Mom. Mom took me to the factory entrance and left. " Shanshan was still breathing heavily, looking like she was still in shock.
After the small talk, he asked his daughter if she had a new dad, and Shanshan said she didn't. He didn't believe it, but still stubbornly asked: "Really?"
"Really not!" San San pouted and raised her voice impatiently. She rolled her eyes at her father.
Jiang Bin chuckled. She believed him. "How are you and Mom? Do you have enough money?"
"That's it! What's there to be afraid of?" San San answered casually.
The father and daughter were talking excitedly when Liang Liang barged in. He excitedly pulled San San's hand and was about to walk out. "Sister! Let's go play together!"
Jiang Bin stopped her and said, "Go! Move aside!" He pulled Liang Liang to the side.
When Jiang Bin and his wife divorced, they agreed that Shanshan would come to collect his daughter's living expenses regularly. As for him, sometimes he would forget the time when he went out. This time, he had not seen his daughter for a few months. Before he could even say a few words to his daughter, Liang Liang came to cause trouble.
He asked San San again, "Are you not living well? Is the money that Dad gave you not enough?"
"Sister! Let's go!" Liang Liang begged happily and went forward to pull San San's little hand.
Jiang Bin pushed Liang Liang away and said to him with his eyes wide open, "I told you to move aside, didn't you hear me? I'm talking to your sister. "
Liang Liang staggered. Jiang Bin's violent actions caused his bright face to change. He cried, "You're biased! You're not my father! You're not my biological father!" After saying that, he ran to the entrance of the factory while crying.
Jiang Bin was stunned. Then, his whole body trembled. He ran towards Liang Liang and shouted, "Stop right there! Stop right there!"
Liang Liang cried as he ran, "biased, biased!"
Jiang Bin continued to chase after Liang Liang. When he reached the entrance of the factory, he grabbed Liang Liang's collar and said, "What did you say? Say it again? " He raised his hand and wanted to hit Liang Liang.
Liang Liang tilted his head and continued to cry. " You are biased, you are biased. You are not my biological father! "
A drop of water fell into the oil pan. Jiang Bin was instantly enraged. His eyes revealed a cold and sharp gaze.
"What did you say? I'm biased? Ah? I'm biased? " Jiang Bin was furious. I raised you up, but the money I spent on you is still not enough? Why am I biased? "
Grandma Wang ran out of the gatehouse when she heard that. She was surprised and at a loss. She didn't know what to do. She didn't try to persuade her, nor did she try to persuade her.
"You are biased. You are biased. " Liang Liang struggled hard. He saw Grandma raising her head as if she had seen her savior.
Jiang Bin was driven mad by anger. He clenched his rough hands even tighter. "I'm biased? You grew up without spending money? "
"Who used your money? I didn't use your money. You never gave me money. You always gave your sister money. I was raised by my grandparents. I just don't use your money! " Liang Liang had never been so self-righteous. He didn't know where his courage came from either.
As soon as these words came out, Grandma was so scared her legs went soft, and her eyes lit up. Liang kept shaking his head to make him shut up. Liang Liang did not understand Grandma's meaning at all.
Liang Liang's thunderous words completely shocked Jiang Bin. Oh my god! Raising a dog and wagging its tail. . . This brat actually said that when raising him up. Jiang Bin was so angry that his face turned purple. His words were incoherent. He raised his hand and wanted to hit him. After a slight pause, he forcefully pushed him away. "You. . . You. . . You. . . Get lost! Get out!"
Liang Liang staggered and fell to the ground. He cried as he got up and ran out of the factory. "You're not my dad, not my dad. You're biased! You're biased!"
He ran towards Xiping Town, crying "biased, biased" non-stop.
Ever since he was sensible, every time he saw his father being intimate with San San, He was very jealous in his heart. In his heart, he had longed countless times that his father could also lift himself up high, but he had never done so. The only time was in his dream. Just as he was laughing happily, Mother Cao ran over and fiercely pulled him down. The rare dream was woken up just like that. When he woke up, his head was covered in sweat.
Liang Liang ran to town in one breath and hid in the dark corner of the street, crying sadly. The roar of his father had been ringing in his ears. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of it. His mind was filled with his father's ferocious face. "You. . . You. . . Get lost! Get out!" "Get out! Get out!. . . "
Liang Liang was extremely sad. He sat on the ground and curled up his body. The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt. He didn't understand. Other people's parents cared for their children in every way, but his parents were always noisy. What he couldn't bear the most was his parents' favoritism. Why could Shanshan live at home? She had a beautiful room. There were also many pretty dolls. As for himself, he lived in a shabby gatehouse. He could only go back for a few days during the New Year. He would not be able to return to his own room. Instead, he would sleep in the same bed as his father. One by one, they had been there for so many years. It was like a seed that had been planted in his young heart. They had already taken root and germinated, deeply rooted in the depths of his heart, and he could not extricate himself.
Thinking of this, Liang Liang burst into tears, tears of grievance flowing out uncontrollably. It was fine if he didn't want such a biased father.
The more he cried, the sadder he became.
"Liang Liang! Liangliang! Where are you? Go home!" Shouts came from afar one after another.
Liang Liang stopped crying and listened carefully.
"Liang Liang! It's bright. . . . Where are you? Go home quickly! "It was Grandma Wang who was gasping for breath.
" It's bright! It's bright. . . . "
Liang Liang heard it clearly. It was his grandmother calling him. Grandma's call was like a warm ray of sunlight penetrating through his entire body. It was so warm. Grandma was the person who loved him the most in the world. The grievance in his heart gushed out. He broke down into tears, and just as he let out a "Wah," he started crying. He suddenly realized something and quickly covered his mouth. He held back his tears and let them flow onto his red and swollen face.
Jiang Bin's shout came from afar again. The sound was extremely ear-piercing and annoying. Liang Liang immediately canceled the idea of complaining to his grandmother.
What did "get lost" mean? Since he said "get lost," what was the point of going back? Let this biased father regret it!
The shouts were getting further and further away from him. Liang Liang was still hiding in the corner and crying silently. From noon to sunset, he had been hiding in the corner and letting his thoughts run wild. His head was aching, but he still did not understand what his fault was. Why was his father so vicious and biased?
The sky gradually darkened, and the cold wind blew. It was bright, cold, and hungry. He was a little afraid.
He missed his grandmother and wanted to go back and eat something. He regretted not asking his grandma for money when he came out. He didn't bring anything delicious. But then he thought about it. If he went back now, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain? No! Absolutely not!
It was late at night, and the entire town seemed to have entered a silent abyss. The cold spring wind was bone-chilling, and occasionally, there were occasional dog barks in the distance. It was especially terrifying in the cold night. Liang Liang could not help but shiver.
It was too cold. He lowered his head and crossed his arms in front of his chest as he slowly wandered on the street. He found a corner to avoid the wind and curled up there with tears streaming down his face. His mind was filled with the shadow of his grandmother and grandfather. The steaming beef noodles and scrambled eggs with tomatoes kept shaking in front of his eyes. It was especially threatening.
A gust of cold wind blew and he felt even colder. The cotton jacket on his body could not resist the heart-piercing cold and he could not help but tremble. His feet had become numb. Would he freeze to death in such a cold weather? With this thought, his body trembled uncontrollably. At this moment. . . At that moment, he was afraid. He struggled to stand up. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground, trying to get up again. However, his whole body was weak and powerless.
Ever since Liang Liang ran out, Jiang Bin had been searching from morning till night. Now, he was hungry and exhausted. He had searched everywhere he could think of, but there was still no trace of his son.
He was lost in his thoughts. He continued searching for his son in the middle of the night. He wanted to shout, but he didn't dare to. He didn't even dare to use a flashlight. He knew that the light was too bright. Usually, he would hide from him. With so many people searching for him, they still hadn't found him. It was obvious that they were hiding on purpose.
Jiang Bin himself didn't understand why they were so angry at the child today. What a bastard. He had blamed himself countless of times, and his intestines were almost turning green with regret. Such a wet and cold day. What if something really happened to such a young child outside? Regret, regret, anxiety, and his feet felt as if they were filled with lead. He only had one thought. Even if he searched every corner of the town, he had to find a source of light.
Jiang Bin stumbled as he walked. His eyes searched the darkness non-stop. He searched every corner of the town. Suddenly, there seemed to be a child curled up in a corner not far away. He was excited and quickly ran over. When he got closer, he saw that it was indeed bright.
Jiang Bin held the child in his arms and tears suddenly gushed out. His throat choked and he said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have scolded you. I'm not a good father. " He held the child even tighter. The excitement, guilt, and fear of finding his son intertwined with each other. His tears kept flowing down.
The bright light shone in his father's warm embrace as he cried. Tears of grievance flowed onto his little purple face.
"Child, it's my fault! Dad shouldn't have hidden it from you. Indeed, I'm not your biological father. It's my fault! But I want to tell you when you're older. Liang Liang! Let's go home now. I promise you that I'll help you find your biological father and mother in the future. " Jiang Bin's attitude was very sincere. He was afraid that the child would not forgive him, and he was even more afraid that the child would not be willing to go back.
Liang Liang was so scared that he broke free from his embrace. He cried in shock and said, "No! No. I was talking nonsense, Dad! I was wrong, I was wrong! Dad, don't don't don't want me, I'll go home, I'll go home! "
Jiang Bin was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. He suddenly realized something.
Jiang Bin picked up Liang Liang and said, "Alright, alright! Let's go home, let's go home! How could Dad not want you?" Carrying Liang Liang on his back, he slowly walked towards the stone carving factory step by step.
The surroundings were still pitch black, but the bright light was no longer afraid. In his dizziness, he felt that his father's wide back was so warm. This was a feeling he had never felt before. How he wished that the road back home would be a little longer, a little longer.
