WTO accession

The story Nan Xiujuan told Nan Zhuo took it to heart. In his memory, the memory of the word "mother" was blank, so he didn't feel sad, but there was a strange emotion in his heart that couldn't be expressed. .The ups and downs of the world, the child whose mind is still developing, tasted the three less pleasant ones first.

Nan Zhuo actually wanted to ask Nan Xiujuan about his mother again, but when he got up the next morning, he found that Nan Xiujuan was still lying on the recliner in the outhouse, and she was out of breath.

Nan Zhuo first felt that the room was terribly quiet, so he went around to the front of the recliner and saw Nan Xiujuan lying on her back with her eyes open, her head tilted to one side, and the tendons in her neck burst out.One of her arms was resting on the armrest, revealing the hard black skin on her elbow, while her other hand was still clenched into a fist, with an empty needle lying inside.

Nan Zhuo leaned over and shook Nan Xiujuan's shoulder, and whispered, "Auntie?"

Nan Xiujuan didn't answer, Nan Zhuo suddenly felt that her wide-open eyes were scary, so she took a step back.He stood beside his aunt for a long time, and in the rising sun, he realized that Nan Xiujuan was dead.

At that time, Nan Zhuo didn't know what drugs and drug overdose were, but he wasn't surprised.Nan Xiujuan in her memory is withering every day, her life is coming to an end, and those medicines are full of sins.

Nan Zhuo went over to pull Nan Xiujuan's hand, it wasn't cold enough, but it was completely different from his usual feeling of holding Nan Yan's hand.A cold and stiff body, this is Nan Zhuo's first impression of death.

He couldn't let his younger brother stay with a dead man, so he went into the house and Nan Yan called out, and the two of them went to the village chief's house.After the door opened, Nan Zhuo didn't go in, but stood at the door and said to the village chief, "My aunt died."

The village chief was also taken aback, and asked someone to go over to see the person to confirm that the person was really dead.This has to contact Nan Hongzu to come back to deal with it. Before that, what to do with the two children is a difficult problem.

"Nan Xiujuan is the one who died playing." Someone pointed to the hand holding the injection of Guidance Xiujuan, and said, "These two children are also addicted, right?"

Someone next to him nodded with enlightenment, looked at Nan Zhuo and Nan Yan, and said, "Maybe really, look at this thin one! Look at Nan Xiujuan again... the person who touches that in everything All skinny, and then damn it!"

Nan Zhuo stood at the door of the house, and after hearing this, he looked down at himself, and then at Nan Yan.They are indeed very thin, and it is said that the heads of the radish are all beautified. Nan Zhuo can touch his ribs that are poking the skin fiercely as long as he raises his hand a little.The clothes on his body were bought by Nan Xiujuan three years ago. Apart from being a little shorter, he hasn't lost much weight.

But the villagers didn't know that they were hungry.

The two children stood there, thin and quiet, with their heads down, which was not very pleasing to watch.The sunshine in the south is strong, and the people in Qihe Village are busy with farm work. Most of them have dark skin, but they are abnormally white, which is now a crime.People in the village gathered around to watch, saying that they might have been addicted to drugs since birth, bringing disasters in their lives, and bad luck with whoever they were next to.

"Why do you think Nan Hongzu wants to go out? He has been away for so many years and never came back?" Someone said to the village chief, "Tiger poison does not eat its offspring, can he not afford to provoke or hide? Avoid them both..."

The listless Nan brothers were drowned by other people's saliva. In the end, the village head was also persuaded. He left Nan Xiujuan's body untouched and left the two children at home, but arranged for a neighbor to deliver meals.However, the neighbor's family was frightened by the disaster star's statement, and they didn't take a step here after leaving.

There was no food at home, so Nan Zhuo went to another house to get it.However, everyone in the village refused without exception, and some people closed the gate when they saw him.

The old lady who had given two people steamed buns and pickled vegetables before did not let them in, and blocked them in the door, with a bit unbearable expression, but she still said: "You go back and wait, your father will be back in two days, when you Just go to the city with him to eat and drink spicy food, and get whatever you want."

When sleeping that night, Nan Zhuo and Nan Yan lay on a bamboo bed, which was so hot that nothing could cover them.There were too many mosquitoes at night, both of them were covered with bags, and there was a fan woven with handles by the bedside, Nan Zhuo took it and fanned it to Nan Yan.

Nan Yan huddled on the bed next to the window, it was cooler there.Unable to fall asleep, he put his feet on the cool wall and called his brother.

Nan Zhuo was very awake, he was not sleepy, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Brother," Nan Yan put his face on his arm and said, "I'm hungry."

Nan Zhuo didn't speak, Nan Yan turned over, turned back again, and asked, "What are we going to do in the future?"

Nan Zhuo didn't speak for a while, he had to admit that this was a question he hadn't thought about before.The two children have never stepped out of Qihe Village since they were born. The vast fields used to be all the freedom they got, but at this age, they already know that the world is much more than that.But just knowing is insignificant, no one will plan for them, and they do not have the ability to plan for themselves.

Nan Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Go study."

Last year, someone in the village sent their children to Yufang City to study, saying that if they were admitted to university, they would be able to get ahead. Nan Zhuo always remembered this.He said to Nan Yan: "Let's leave here and go to study in the city."

Nan Yan asked: "Is Dad coming to pick us up?"

"Well," Nan Zhuo raised his head, his face immersed in the moonlight through the window, and whispered, "He came to pick us up."

"What about finishing school?" Nan Yan grabbed his hand and asked, "Shall we follow Dad to sell people?"

Nan Zhuo paused for fanning his hand, then he looked down at Nan Yan, his pupils showing a dark blue under the moonlight.His voice was very low, with a kind of threat-like oppression, he said to Nan Yan: "Absolutely not."

"Why?" Nan Yan lay beside him, a little dazed by his reaction.

"That's a bad thing, and you can't do bad things." Nan Zhuo's eyes flashed sharply, "After studying, he will be admitted to university. After entering university, he will be able to do good deeds, and then he will do good deeds to make money."

These words are like a strange circle of logic. In fact, Nan Zhuo didn't fully understand it, but he just knew the truth and forgot who it was. Anyway, someone in the village said it.

"Brother," Nan Yan asked, "what's in the city?"

Nan Zhuo continued to fan him and said, "I don't know."

Nan Yan asked: "Let's go, can we have enough?"

"Yes," Nan Zhuo said, "I'll ask for it if I'm not full."

"What if others don't give it?" Nan Yan looked very sad.

"There are so many people in the city, someone will always give it to you." Nan Zhuo patted him, thought for a while, and said, "You study hard, you will have food and money after you study."

Nan Yan asked: "Is money important?"

Nan Zhuo lay on the pillow, hid his face in the shadow, and said, "It's very important."

Nan Yan asked: "What can I do with money?"

Without any reason, Nan Zhuo suddenly felt very sad, because he remembered a lot of what Nan Xiujuan had said before, and also because the person who said these words was dead.Nan Xiujuan treated him and her younger brother badly, but not badly. Many things were not as simple as black and white, and Nan Zhuo couldn't digest or understand them.

He answered Nan Yan's question and said, "If you have money, you can have a mother."

Nan Yan nodded and said, "If you have money, buy your mother back. If I have money, I will buy food for you and mother."

Nan Zhuo also nodded and said, "OK."

***

Nan Hongzu came back on the eighth day after Nan Xiujuan's death.

At that time, Nan Zhuo and Nan Yan had been lying on the field for four days, and they couldn't stay at home anymore. Nan Xiujuan's body became terrible, accompanied by a foul smell, and there were many rats around.

Nan Zhuo didn't ask for any food, the rats would kill if they ate them, so he caught one and gave up.There are many flowers in the field, many stamens are edible, Nan Zhuo took Nan Yan to suck that, and when Nan Hongzu returned to Qihe Village from Yufang City, they had grass stuffed in their mouths.

A villager knew that the two children were lying there, went to tell them, and shouted: "Your father is back!"

Nan Zhuo heard it, and immediately pulled Nan Yan to get up, but he was so hungry that he had no strength, and fell down again.Nan Yan lay beside him, unable to open his eyes, and there was foam in his mouth.

"Nan Yan," Nan Zhuo whispered, "Go...to eat."

Nan Yan didn't respond, Nan Zhuo was really scared, and slapped his younger brother's face vigorously.After a while, Nan Yan opened his eyes, being dragged by Nan Zhuo, the two had no strength to walk, and rolled down the hillside together.

The villagers were startled when they saw them. Now that Nan Hongzu is back, and they heard that he is quite famous in Yufang City, they dare not leave Nanzhuo and Nanyan behind.So in the end someone came and carried the two children back. Nan Hongzu was dealing with Nan Xiujuan's matter and asked the neighbors to feed the children rice porridge first.

After Nan Zhuo woke up, he heard the voice of an adult talking outside. He still felt hungry, but his head was not so dizzy.Nan Yan slept beside him with his arms around him, Nan Zhuo gently pulled out his hands, and walked out with his shoes on.

He saw a few men sitting around a round table in an outhouse, one of them was the village chief, he smiled when he saw him, and said, "Hey, are you awake? Are you an older brother or a younger brother?"

The village head had never smiled at him before, his eyes were closed, and he had never spoken to him in such a pleasant manner.Nan Zhuo felt very strange, and stood by the door without answering.

The village head was still very happy, and turned around and said to people: "Hongzu, your son is out, go and see!" Then he turned around and waved to Nanzhuo, "Come here! Come here, your father is here! "

Nan Zhuo didn't move, but he saw a person standing up from the table and walking towards him.Nan Zhuo raised his head and saw his father clearly for the first time.

Nan Hongzu is tall and thin, with fair skin. He doesn't look like a person who needs to farm every day. Instead, he has thin skin and tender flesh, with regular and good-looking features.This good appearance is his unique advantage, and he relies on this to deceive and abduct women in the city.

Nan Hongzu had seen the two children just now when they were asleep, and he knew at a glance that they were not like him, but more like their mother.This made Nan Hongzu a little dissatisfied, although he was sure that the child was his.

He stopped a few steps away from Nan Zhuo, looked down condescendingly, and waited for the child to call him.

Nan Hongzu's shadow spread to Nan Zhuo's feet, completely covering him.He stood close to the door, and the hand squeezed beside him clasped the door frame firmly, without speaking.

"What's going on?" Nan Hongzu grinned, showing his smoky teeth, bent down to look at him, and asked, "Afraid?"

Nan Hongzu showed a smile, but it was the ugliest smile Nan Zhuo had ever seen. It was cold and cruel. The man who was said to be his father looked at him like a wild beast looking at its dissatisfied prey.Nan Zhuo stretched his body, and finally shook his head.

Nan Hongzu's eyes changed, and he asked, "What's that?"

Nan Zhuo didn't know how to answer, Nan Hongzu frowned, and asked in an emotionless voice: "You don't want to recognize me?"

A kind of cold seeped into Nan Zhuo's nerves, his voice was very small, but he said, "Dad."

Nan Hongzu smiled again, this time looking a little happier.He stood up, came over and stroked Nan Zhuo's hair, and asked, "Okay, who are you?"

Nan Zhuo reacted for a while before he understood what he was asking, and said, "Nan Zhuo."

"Oh, boss." Nan Hongzu glanced into the room and said, "Go and wake up your brother, take my luggage in, and make the bed."

When you see your father, you have to work for him. This is the reality that Nan Zhuo has to face.Nan Hongzu's luggage was very heavy. He carried it with both hands, and he could barely lift it. When he was approaching the door of the house, he knocked it, and the bottom of the leather bag touched the ground, making a noise.

Nan Zhuo immediately lifted the bag up and staggered forward.He was still struggling to see the way when he was kicked out, rolled over with his bag and his head hit the door frame on one side.

Nan Hongzu withdrew his foot, cursed a curse word, and with sudden fury, he said sharply to Nan Zhuo: "What mourning! Get up, let me walk!"

Nan Zhuo got up from the ground, he was in a daze.Nan Xiujuan had never hit him and Nan Yan before, he had never experienced this kind of feeling, that kind of helplessness at the mercy of others made him fearful, he desperately raised the bag, enduring the buzzing sound from being hit by his ears , stumbled into the house.

Nan Hongzu didn't follow in, and stayed in the outhouse to talk to the villagers.The zipper of his bag was half unzipped. When Nan Zhuo put the bag on the bed, he saw the rubber bands and needles inside, which were exactly the same as those used by Nan Xiujuan before.
