The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"It's not a favor, just stay for dinner."

Chen Jiahe scooped the rice out of the pot, drained it, cleaned the pot and started cooking. There was some leftover meat at home, so he cut it all up.

He has always had a bad image in the village. This is the first time someone has thanked him so solemnly, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

Parents’ words and deeds are the best way for children to learn. Yuanyuan knows quite a few words at a young age.

The two little hands held Yingying's textbook, and occasionally she could point out two words she knew.

Now she can not only write from one to ten, but also write sizes.

"How do you know so many words?"

Yingying only saw her sometimes holding a pencil and drawing on a notebook, but she didn't expect that she had recognized so many words without realizing it.

“There’s pinyin on it.”

Yuanyuan pointed to the pinyin markings in the textbook, but she had not learned pinyin thoroughly and could only spell some simple ones.

When her father read the dictionary, he also took her with him. Now she is no longer an illiterate child.

"Have you already learned Pinyin?"

Yingying suddenly felt a lot of pressure. She learned too fast and she needed to work harder.

"Sister Yingying, you have to work hard!"

Yuanyuan closed her textbook and raised her chubby little face to encourage her, saying that when she grew up to be as old as her, she would also be the best elementary school student in the class.

"it is good…"

Yingying lowered her eyes and looked at her innocent face, wondering if she could read minds, otherwise how would she know what she was thinking.

After the farewell meal, the brother and sister said goodbye to them reluctantly.

Chen Jiahe bought a ticket for tomorrow morning and had to get up early to go to town to catch the bus. They had to go to school and would not be able to make it in time for the farewell party.

He knew the situation of Mazi's family and only told Mazi when he would leave, but did not make any appointment with him.

Ma Zi's father has been worried about this matter for a while. I heard that the relationship between father and son has become increasingly strained.

at night--

Yuanyuan took a shower and lay in bed, resting her head on her father's strong arm. She was thinking about what the big city was like and couldn't fall asleep at all.

"Go to bed early, we have to travel tomorrow night."

Chen Jiahe patted the child's back gently, and his mind was particularly active.

His vision gradually became clear in the darkness, and looking at the broken roof, he recalled his childhood life.

Those dark days would no longer cause him pain, as he had a new relative who was related to him by blood.

As the night deepened, I didn't know when the little guy in my arms closed his eyes, and I could hear the sound of his even breathing.

007 looked at his favorability which had reached the maximum without him noticing, and slowly closed his eyes.

Although it doesn't need to sleep, it is very peaceful and quiet.

Chen Jiahe got up before dawn and made his last breakfast. After eating, he cleaned up the house, picked up his luggage and set off with his children.

Yuanyuan looked at the fallen door lock and lay on her father's shoulder. The short and old adobe house gradually became distant.

A familiar figure was standing at the entrance of the village. Village Chief Wang was there to see them off for the last time.

"Wait for me!"

Wang Mazi caught up with him from behind carrying a big bag of things. Fortunately, he got up early, otherwise he would have missed out.

"Uncle Wang, are you coming with us too?"

Yuanyuan waved at him, and a happy smile appeared on her tense little face.

"Yes! Wait for me, I'm so tired from running!"

Wang Mazi ran to them, panting heavily. He put his luggage on the ground, bent over with his hands on his knees, and his face was flushed.

“When did you buy the ticket?”

Chen Jiahe thought that he would not go, and it would be much better to have someone familiar to keep him company.

"My father bought it for me." Wang Mazi felt much better after a while.

The pockmarked father who was following behind also came over. His old face still showed a look of disappointment, but he could not hide the reluctance in his eyes.

"Didn't you disagree? How did you come to your senses?"

Village chief Wang also found it strange, as the place was in chaos just a few days ago.

"His legs are on his body. I can't stop him if he wants to leave."

Ma Zi's father sighed, his tone tinged with sadness.

Recently, Ma Zi has been refusing to eat at home, and the father and son start arguing with each other until their faces turn red and their necks become thick. This is not a solution.

He also figured it out. The child has grown up and his wings are strong enough, so if he wants to fly, let him fly. After all, he cannot accompany him for the rest of his life.

Yesterday afternoon I went to the bus station in town and bought him a ticket, and told him to go out for a walk by himself. Maybe he would come back after suffering some hardship.

"Dad, don't worry. When I make money, I will bring you and mom to the city."

Wang Mazi is full of fighting spirit for his future. He has no hope for love, and making money is his main job.

"Just survive on your own. You don't need to worry about us."

Ma Zi's father said this unhappily, but a smile was clearly visible on his face.

"It's getting late, so we'll leave first."

Chen Jiahe looked at the sun rising gradually over the mountain and reminded Mazi that it was time to set off.

"Uncle Village Chief, Grandpa Wang, we are leaving now. You should go home early to eat."

Yuanyuan waved her little hand at them and said that her father would be back and they would see each other again soon.

The pockmarked father walked forward with a staggering step, holding the child's hand with his hands, which were tanned and yellowed from years of hard work.

"When you go to the city, remember to send a message to the village, be safe, eat well, and don't get sick."

Although he said this while holding the child's hand, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Ma Zi.

Perhaps he couldn't say these words directly to Ma Zi, and could only say them in this way.

"Grandpa Wang, I know, and Uncle Wang knows too."

Yuanyuan opened her little mouth to reveal a row of white teeth, and her dark eyes were sparkling as if washed with water.

"Who told him?"

Ma Zi's father turned his head away with a stern face and a stiff tone, showing that he did not care about him at all.

"Dad! I'm leaving!"

Wang Mazi smiled at him, knowing that he was concerned about him.

The old man wanted to live a decent life. Maybe he felt it was embarrassing to show too much concern for him. After all, he didn't agree with this.

"Go, go! It's too annoying to stay at home!"

Ma Zi's father turned his back and didn't look at them. When the footsteps gradually faded away, he turned around and looked at the figure disappearing at the entrance of the village.

"..."

Village chief Wang looked into his eyes and smiled. People express their emotions in different ways, and the relationship between father and son is a bit awkward.

When they arrived in the town, the three of them entered the bus station together, asked about the specific departure time, and sat on a bench waiting.

It was Yuanyuan’s first time taking a long-distance bus. After getting on the bus, she handed her ticket to the conductor and sat in the last row.

We passed through many towns along the way. The road was bumpy and the car was shaking. There were many farmlands on both sides of the road, and the corn stalks were taller than people.

"Do you feel like vomiting?"

Ma Zi touched his throat with his hand. It was his first time taking a long-distance bus. He felt dizzy and nauseous in his stomach.
