Amateur red "mother"

Early the next morning, Dai Fei and Meng Lei were having breakfast when they were slapped by the big flickering eyes of their 4-year-old niece Xinxin, making them unable to hold their chopsticks steady.

Therefore, Dai Rong, who didn't want to go back to work so soon, used the "Cute Baby Raiders" to successfully get Dai Fei to agree to stay for two more days and serve as the head of the "Friends and Relatives Group" for the cute dance competition two days later.

Xinxin is the granddaughter of her uncle. Apart from going to school, she usually goes to a small dance training class in the town to learn dancing. Just in time for the holiday, the training class held a dance competition called "Future Star" Well, Xinxin, as an outstanding representative in the cram school, naturally has to perform on stage.

There is a large square in the town, which is usually used for some aunts who love life to gather here, play cheerful music, and show the group sport that has the most fans at the moment—square dancing.

On the large square, a beaming stage has been set up at this time. On the background board, there are four big yellow characters - "Future Star", bright red and rhubarb. I don't know what kind of magical color combination this is, but it is weird without any sense of incongruity.

When Dai Fei and Meng Lei arrived, the open space in front of the stage was already full of people sitting on neatly arranged stools.

Skipping the first row of judges' seats, Dai Fei was thinking about where he would sit, Meng Lei raised his eyes and said, "The chair of the head is over there."

The two young men were particularly eye-catching in a group of elderly people. In addition, Meng Lei's tall figure and suit and leather shoes attracted many people's attention.

A young teacher blushed and tentatively asked why Meng Lei had a child at such a young age. Dai Fei calmly blocked the peach blossoms, "Oh, our child has not been created yet." The young teacher was terrified.

Before Xinxin's finale cat dance started, the two of them sat quietly and waited in the group of relatives and friends amidst everyone's probing eyes and whispering discussions.

Just when Dang Fei was joking about Meng Lei's aura of president who never restrained himself wherever he went, the phone rang.

Looking at the numbers that seemed a bit familiar, Dai Fei picked it up: "Hello, who is it?"

The voice rang from the handset and the side at the same time: "It's really you! Dai Fei."

Dai Fei followed the sound and looked over. A man holding a child was behind him holding a mobile phone and waving excitedly at him.

Dai Fei thought about it for a long time, but felt that the face seemed a little familiar, but couldn't remember who it was for a while, and when he was embarrassed how to say hello, the man stepped over with the child in his arms.

Dai Fei rubbed his nose and asked: "Hi, sorry, I'm a bit face-blind, easy to remember people, I don't know which friend of mine you are?"

The man was wearing glasses, and his face in Chinese characters was full of happiness at this moment. He smiled and said, "I know you don't remember me. I'm that... Xiao Qingmin who snatched your seat on the train three years ago..."

It was only then that Dai Fei remembered that this man was the man he met on the train from Yancheng back to Hengshi three years ago, who showed off his wife for several hours, and suddenly felt a little kind, and said with a smile: "Oh... I remembered, Hello Teacher Xiao."

Dai Fei introduced to Meng Lei: "Stone, this Xiao Qingmin...Mr. Xiao, we met on the train three years ago. Mr. Xiao is a showman and a madman. He praised his wife for as long as he sat on the train."

Teacher Xiao smiled embarrassedly: "Hey, I talk a lot when I'm happy."

Looking at Meng Lei, who was clearly out of tune with the demeanor here, Teacher Xiao asked, "Who is this?"

Dai Fei replied with a smile: "My love."

Teacher Xiao didn't seem to have expected that Dai Fei would throw out such an earth-shattering remark, and immediately tied his tongue: "Love... lover? It's... the one I understand..."

Dai Fei nodded: "Well, yes."

Teacher Xiao looked at Dai Fei, then at Meng Lei, and in the end it seemed that he really didn't know where to look, so he reached out to Meng Lei: "Hi, my love... no! I, I mean, um... Hello, Dai Fei's lover."

Dai Fei smiled even stronger: "His name is Meng Lei."

After calming down, Teacher Xiao looked at Dai Fei: "At that time, I thought you, a young man, had a story. It seems that I guessed right..."

Dai Fei smiled and said nothing.

Seemingly worried about the embarrassing atmosphere, Xiao Qingmin quickly changed the subject: "My wife is back too! Haha, I'll introduce you later."

As soon as the words fell, a female voice came: "Xiao Qingmin, why are you sitting there with the baby in your arms? I'm looking for you..."

As soon as the woman's voice appeared beside her, it turned into a tone of surprise: "Dai... Fei?"

The world is like this, many "long time no see" happen in "passing by".

Xiao Qingmin asked in surprise, "Honey, do you know each other?"

Looking at the woman standing in front of him, Dai Fei didn't realize it for a while, and asked stupidly: "Teacher Qiu?! Why are you here?"

Xiao Qingmin quickly replied: "My wife's natal family is here. She taught in Shuguang Village before... Hey, I didn't expect it. It turns out that Dai Fei is your student, wife."

The excited expression made those who didn't know think that he had met a favorite student he hadn't seen for many years.

Teacher Qiu smiled softly: "Yes, Dai Fei is the best student I have ever taught. He was the one who helped me a lot back then."

Hearing his wife's words, Xiao Qingmin became even more excited: "Really?! That's a coincidence! Fortunately, I have to pull you back, right? Look at my magical premonition, this is fate, it's too noisy here, let's go , go to the teacher's house and sit down!"

Teacher Qiu was very happy, and couldn't hide the joy in his eyes: "My house is nearby, go sit down, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Not caring about watching Xinxin's performance, Dai Fei and his wife were dragged away by Teacher Qiu and his wife.

Looking at Mr. Qiu, who seemed to have no change and still had a baby face, Dai Fei was deeply moved.

Back then, Sunshine Primary School did not have the strict curfew system that is now enforced, and there were no gate guards at all in schools in small villages more than ten years ago.In junior high school, Dai Fei liked to wait for his classmates to leave and sleep on his stomach for a while in the classroom after his self-study every night, and then he went home slowly.

One day, Dai Fei, who was lying on the ground for an unknown period of time, was about to go home after waking up. He walked slowly down from the fourth floor, and saw a few faint lights in the dark teacher's office opposite the teaching building. Several people can be seen.

Dai Fei's first reaction was that it might be a thief, and he was worried that the other party was too crowded, so he didn't dare to startle the snake, so he walked over slowly...

The next day, news came that Mr. Qiu, who had just come to the school for an internship, had lost the mock test papers that the junior three students had just finished. The dean of the key high school was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, accusing the young people of today for being too irresponsible, and ordered that the batch of test papers must be found, otherwise Teacher Qiu would be severely punished.

Looking at the young teacher with tears all over his face, Dai Fei didn't even think about it, so he shook out the few students he saw sneaking into the office the night before—Meng Lei was among them.

As for Meng Lei, a sixth-grade student, why did he come to steal the test papers of junior high school students? Dai Fei didn't know the reason, and he was not familiar with Meng Lei at that time. , I guess he was in a hurry, and was instigated by those seniors to do some bad things for entertainment.

Later, in order to express her gratitude, Teacher Qiu told Dai Fei that she had relatives working in Huada Hospital in Hengshi, and that the hospital had the conditions to do a paternity test, so she could ask her relatives in the hospital to help Dai Fei do the report for free.So, there is a later story.

Looking at Teacher Qiu who was pouring tea and water for them with a smile on his face, Dai Fei recalled his thoughts, and solemnly introduced to her that Meng Lei was Fengyun's younger brother back then.

Teacher Qiu chuckled and said, "Ah? It's you? Your aura looks... you don't look like that... that kid back then, hehe... But people change."

Seeing the expressions of the two looking at each other and smiling, Teacher Qiu was full of emotion: "I didn't expect that you two would come together and become... couples, hey, having said that, even though Meng Lei only stayed in Shuguang Primary School back then, One year, but among the top figures in the two schools, he was firmly at the top of the list in that year!"

Dai Fei held back his smile, and his eyes rolled up: "Teacher Qiu, you all said that he is the top of the list, so I have to be popular no matter what."

Teacher Qiu covered her lips and smiled lightly: "You two... hey, do you two not know each other? Hmm... that's not true either, it should be called friends who don't get together, haha..."

Meng Lei pursed his lips and smiled, "It's fate."

Teacher Qiu looked at the two of them with a gentle smile: "Yes, but seeing that you are living well now, I am relieved."

Smoothing out the hair on his temples, Teacher Qiu sighed softly: "Dai Fei, I've always wanted to tell you that everything that happened back then was all my fault, if it wasn't for me... hey, I also did bad things with good intentions and hurt you. I miss you...I always wanted to apologize to you, but I don't know where you transferred to another school. When I went to your house, they said that you were sent away..."

Dai Fei's smile remained unchanged, and he comforted Teacher Qiu with his eyes: "Teacher, I have always been very grateful to you for what happened back then, and I know you want to help me."

Teacher Qiu Rong blamed herself: "I don't know what went wrong, why don't you do the appraisal again in another place, the current technology is more advanced, there will definitely be no problems, and it must be the reason why the technology was not up to the mark back then. "

Dai Fei smiled: "That's the result, I don't need to worry about it anymore, let alone... I'm fine now."

Meng Lei, who had been silent by the side, suddenly interrupted: "I'm sorry, Teacher Qiu, I want to ask a question."

Teacher Qiu was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Oh, yes."

Dai Fei suddenly "thumped" in his heart, as if he guessed what Meng Lei was going to ask, he clenched the teacup in his hand and looked at Meng Lei.

Meng Lei's voice was extraordinarily forceful, and he asked, "Did you always hold the things used for identification back then?"

Teacher Qiu was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

At this time, Dai Fei's hands were already full of sweat, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to hold the teacup with one hand, so he crossed his two hands tightly, but his eyes were fixed on the teacher sitting opposite him.

Meng Lei emphasized his tone: "I mean, have you ever passed that thing through other people's hands?"

Such a deep and powerful sentence not only awakened Teacher Qiu's memory, but also hit Dai Fei's heart that had given up pursuing the truth.

Teacher Qiu Rong suddenly understood, looked at the expressions of the two people, and became nervous: "I...I didn't give it to anyone else. After I got what Dai Fei gave me, I took it from the office...in my own cabinet. Locked up, and sent directly to the hospital the next day on holiday."

Meng Lei thought for a while and asked, "Teacher Qiu, this is very important. Please think about it again. Before the thing was locked, who did you meet? Or, did any strange things happen?"

Teacher Qiu: "I..."

Dai Fei grabbed Meng Lei: "You..."

After all, after more than ten years, people's appearance will change, and people can't be sure at first glance whether they are the same person back then, let alone it happened in an instant, even though this "little thing" will affect some people's life , and cannot be changed, the cruel fact that memory will dissipate over time.

Teacher Qiu beat his temples with his hands in some pain, and said intermittently: "What happened... Who did I meet? I... Who did I meet? In the end..."

Dai Fei stood up and stretched out his hand to pull away Teacher Qiu's right hand that was beating his head: "Mr. Qiu, don't force yourself if you can't remember clearly. It's been so many years, and I don't even remember what happened back then, let alone you, I forgot, so you don't have to remember."

Meng Lei pursed his lips, wanting to say something, Dai Fei held his hand, bent his eyes at him, and hooked the corners of his mouth, Meng Lei looked at the emotion in Dai Fei's eyes for a long time, before returning to hold him, Sorry, said to Teacher Qiu: "I'm sorry, Teacher Qiu, I was impatient, you don't have to blame yourself, the senior...he has let go."

When saying goodbye, Teacher Qiu still looked annoyed and blamed himself, which made Dai Fei feel a little guilty for a while, and could only sigh and talk about why Meng Lei was such a weak woman.

Although I knew why Meng Lei lost his sense of proportion so suddenly, I still felt a little ashamed of Teacher Qiu. After all, she was the only one who believed in herself and her mother without knowing the story behind it.

At night, the two of them lay on the bed and hugged each other, chatting about the stupid things Meng Lei did at school in those years, about Meng Lei skipping class with those seniors and going to the Internet cafe in the town to surf the Internet, and being bumped into by Teacher Qiu. Sued to their teacher, so that those seniors encouraged Meng Lei to steal the test papers to try to get revenge on the teacher, Dai Fei smiled and said: "You brats are really..."

Before the joke was finished, the bedside phone rang. Seeing that it was Xiao Qingmin calling, Dai Fei couldn't help but wonder why this person called him so late. After answering, Teacher Qiu's excited voice came from inside. The voice, the person on the phone ringing in the quiet night, trembled: "I remembered! That day, I met the dean and the principal... and Zhang Mao from your class!"

Dai Fei almost lost his grip on the mobile phone. Meng Lei took it and turned on the loudspeaker. The woman's voice immediately filled the small bedroom: "That day, the teaching director hurriedly asked me to go to the principal's office to talk about the extra classes for junior high school graduates. I was very impressed because it was the first time I was confirmed to take a big class. I remember that I was called away by the director before I could lock my things. When I came back, I found that Zhang Mao was walking in our teacher's office. When I came out, I thought he was looking for another teacher, so I didn't think much about it, and locked the things in my cabinet when I went back."

Dai Fei had no impression of this name, and asked, "Who is Zhang Mao?"

Qiu Rong: "Oh, that's the one you call Mao Mao."

Dai Fei glanced at Meng Lei, and the figure that appeared in front of Dai Fei's mother's grave appeared in their eyes at the same time...

Looking at the old classmate in front of him, Dai Fei found that he was really unfamiliar with him, and had no impression of this person at all.

Before Dai Fei could speak, he laughed at himself: "I knew you would definitely find me."

Dai Fei asked: "Why?"

The person sitting across from him spoke slowly and with difficulty: "There was a man who got married back then, and it was a sensation. My dad was a friend of that man's friend. At first, it really didn't matter to him, but he was a gambler and lustful. I heard that The bride is very beautiful, so I just followed along, who knows... something happened to him not long after."

Dai Fei was shocked: "You are..."

Looking at the water glass on the table, the man said, "That man's name is Zhang Jianguo, my name is Zhang Mao, and he... is my biological father."

Dai Fei asked: "Did you exchange what I gave Teacher Qiu?"

Zhang Mao nodded: "Yes."

Dai Fei took a sip of tea, and after a while, asked slowly: "Because you think your father's disappearance is related to our family?"

Zhang Mao smiled, but that smile was uglier than crying, full of desolation: "I don't wonder why my dad was injured or embarrassed. After all, he spends his whole day drinking and gambling, and he does other things outside. A woman's belly was found at the door, and then my mother couldn't bear it and left..."

Pausing for a moment, he continued: "It's just that I never thought he would disappear from now on..."

Zhang Mao looked at Dai Fei, with tears in his eyes, but stubbornly refused to let them fall: "That day... I watched him being fished up from the well on the back mountain..."

I don't know what came to mind, but Zhang Mao's eyes were full of resentment: "But, your uncle said that there is more than guilt for death... Hehe, there is more than guilt for death? What did he do? I know why your uncle said that, but I also know that he Did nothing!"

Dai Fei held the cup tightly in his hand and asked, "You know?"

Zhang Mao sneered: "Of course, when he came back from the wedding that night, his face and body were full of bruises when he was drunk, I went to fetch water for him, and I heard him talking to himself, saying that stealing chickens is not enough to lose money... ...I know him too well, if he really did something, he wouldn't be so upset. However, he lost his life because of this unsatisfactory lust!"

Dai Fei slowly exhaled the breath that had been accumulated in his heart for many years, looked at Zhang Mao, and said solemnly: "Student Zhang Mao, thank you for telling me this... But, I think you may have misunderstood our family. , they still don’t have the kind of criminal skills and strong psychological qualities you think.”

Zhang Mao said blankly: "I know, I checked it myself later, and found out that he fell into it because he drank too much alcohol and didn't pay attention for a while..."

Dai Fei: "Everything is fate..."

After a pause, Dai Fei said sincerely: "Zhang Mao, thank you for telling me the truth and returning my mother's innocence."

After speaking, he stood up and bowed to him.

Zhang Mao did not expect that Dai Fei would suddenly make such an unexpected gesture of thanking him, and he was stunned for a while before asking, "You...you don't hate me?"

Dai Fei smiled: "Why should I hate you?"

Zhang Mao excitedly put up the hand that had been hidden under the table: "But, it was I who secretly changed your hair back then, which caused you to be misunderstood and kicked out of your home. You shouldn't Do you hate me?"

Dai Fei looked at him and said with a smile: "Because... those things about me have long passed." He patted Zhang Mao on the shoulder: "Old classmate, it's time to let go."

When he walked to the door, Dai Fei's voice came to Zhang Mao's ears: "If there is no light around you, then shine yourself."
