Dreaming of 1988, I have the ability to see ghosts and ghosts

There was something going on in the club on Friday night, so I didn't go to the shop.

Wang Fang finally saw me in the cafeteria and said that she had come to the dormitory to look for me several times. I humbly said that I needed help with something at Uncle Huang's place recently.

After finishing the work, I invited them to Long Mo's villa to play for a day. Wang Fang then smiled happily and said that I forgot my friends for the sake of beauty.

I curled my lips helplessly. Where is the color? Long Mo has not appeared during this period of time.

As for Dongju, through a few days of contact, I learned more about her family situation.

A year after her biological mother divorced her grandfather, she found another man. Before the Chinese New Year last year, her grandfather took her to play with him for a few days. Her biological mother also gave birth to a younger brother, who should be about one year old now.

She can accurately tell the addresses of her biological mother's home and her grandfather's home, and they are not too far from the city, about an hour's drive away.

I also asked Uncle Huang carefully, and he said with certainty that judging from Dongju's face, both her parents were indeed dead. In order to find out the truth of the matter,

We discussed it and sought Dongju's consent and decided to let Uncle Huang take us to visit her biological mother and grandfather on Sunday.

Dongju would definitely be happy to go. She had only been there before this year's Spring Festival, and her father passed away two months ago.

I also asked her about the reason for her father's death. She said her family told her that her father's death was an accident. She was at school at the time and was not very clear about the specific circumstances.

She had not yet recovered from the pain of losing her father, and her stepmother fell ill again, and she was in danger of dropping out of school.

Fortunately, this child is strong, otherwise if it were me, I would have collapsed long ago.

However, people are forced to do things, and this sentence has been verified countless times on the stage of life.

When we are in a comfortable harbor, we tend to be content with the status quo, and our potential is like a sleeping beast, hidden deep in our consciousness.

However, once the storm of life comes, the seemingly calm lake is filled with raging waves, and we have to rise up and resist.

On the road of life, we often encounter various setbacks and difficulties, and these adversities may make us feel helpless and frustrated.

However, it is these adversities that shape our character and teach us to grow and become strong.

Dongju is a child who grew up in adversity. She is as tenacious as a chrysanthemum.

I was also a little worried. If the conclusion Uncle Huang drew from her face was confirmed, I was not sure whether the child would fall down.

No matter how worried she is, she still has to face the cruel facts. If she peels back the window paper covering her home, something even more heartbreaking will happen.

Even if the stepmother could get better, her life would not be easy. Dropping out of school would be more painful for a 7-year-old child than losing a loved one.

If she dropped out of school, her whole life would be ruined.

After weighing the pros and cons, Uncle Huang and I finally decided to take Dongju with us.

On Saturday night, Uncle Huang and I slept in the small yard behind the shop. On Sunday morning, we got up early, bought breakfast and went to Dongju's house.

When picking up Dongju, the so-called grandmother's scolding voice came from upstairs.

"You little girl, you are such a disaster. You don't stay at home to take care of your brother, but run around everywhere. Your biological mother hasn't come to see you for years. What is there for her to miss?"

When I heard the word "disaster star", my brows slightly frowned. These two words were once the shadow of my childhood.

Seeing tears in Dongju's eyes, I gently held her in my arms. At this moment, she was just as lonely and helpless as I was when I was a child.

I wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with concern, and without saying anything, I took out the breakfast I bought and stuffed it into her hand.

At this moment, no amount of words could erase the pain in her heart.

After a moment's silence, her complexion gradually improved, we smiled at each other, and started eating together.

Uncle Huang looked at Dongju and me sitting in the back through the rearview mirror, his lips curled slightly, and he felt a little comforted.

He witnessed my growth process and he understood why I worked so hard to help Dongju.

We looked out the car window all the way. The scenery was different from that of my hometown. My home was in the south of the city, a typical Jianghan Plain, while her home was in the mountainous area, but close to the plain and the mountain was not big.

We looked at the scenery and chatted along the way. Dongju said that her grandfather's family also farmed. I thought it might be in a dam in the mountains.

We drove for almost an hour, and just as I had imagined, we saw a village surrounded by hills.

Because there was only one road into the village, under Dongju's guidance, we quickly stopped in front of a house.

The house structures here are the same as those in my hometown, all made of red bricks and tiles.

Dongju said that this was the family her biological mother later married into, and her grandfather’s house was a little further inside.

Seeing a car parked at the door, an old woman came out of the house. She was probably in her 60s, holding a little boy about one year old in her arms. He must be the younger brother that Dongju mentioned her biological mother gave birth to later.

"Hello, Grandma! Where is my mother?"

As soon as Dongju got off the car, she couldn't wait to walk up to the old woman and asked.

When the old woman saw that it was Dongju, her face froze and she looked at Uncle Huang and me.

"It's Dongju, why are you here?"

Dongju also happily teased her younger brother and asked again if her mother was at home.

The old woman did not answer, but looked embarrassed and looked at us and asked Dongju.

"Dongju, who are these two?"

"Oh, Grandma, this is Grandpa Huang, and this is Sister Liu. They are free today, so they came with me to see you."

Dongju immediately introduced us, and I quickly took out the prepared gifts from the car and greeted the old lady.

"How can I let you spend money?"

This is a simple rural woman. She was embarrassed to collect the things and it was not easy to carry them with her child in her arms.

Dongju was very well-behaved. She took out a bag of snacks from the bag and handed it to her brother, then ran into the main room with the things in her hand.

After Dongju entered the house, she did not come out immediately. She must have been looking for her mother at home. Now was an idle month, the millet had been harvested, and the rapeseed had been planted. If her mother was at home, she would either be cleaning up the house or in the backyard vegetable garden.

Seeing that Dongju had not come out yet, the old woman put the little boy on the ground. He could already walk and was stuffing the snacks he had already opened into his mouth.

Uncle Huang squatted down and teased him.

The old woman looked into the main room again and found that Dongju had not come out yet, so she pulled me to the corner of the threshing floor.

"Miss Liu, are you a relative of Dongju's family?" the old woman asked.

I instinctively nodded and said yes.

"Then I'll tell you, Dongju's mother is no longer with us, and the child can't hear it."

The old woman looked very unnatural, and she seemed to be a kind person.

When I heard this, my heart trembled suddenly. Uncle Huang was right. I was certain without a doubt that Dongju's biological mother was no longer alive.

Then the old woman told me what had happened.
