The girl who once suspected that she was picked up

When every child is growing up, there is a stage when he is particularly concerned about where he comes from. But almost all of them received the same answer: You were picked up by us. Either in the garbage dump, at the entrance of the village, or by the river.

When we heard the answer given by the adults, we would be very angry, fall out, lose our temper, and cry. But when we got a little older, we were able to tell that this was a joke made by adults. I didn’t take it seriously.

But there is a girl who is serious.

One night in the second year of junior high school, Little T went back to the dormitory with everyone after evening self-study as usual. The friends talked and laughed as usual, but Little T's smile was a bit forced and he was always out of shape. Seeing that Little T was in a daze, Little Q asked in confusion: "Little T, what's wrong with you? You look a little unhappy. What happened?"

Little T came back to his senses. , glanced at Little Q, lowered his head and said, "It's okay, let's go back to the dormitory quickly."

Little T and Little Q are very good friends and talk about everything. Since junior high school required accommodation at that time, and two people slept in one bed, little T and little Q were still bed partners.

After returning to the dormitory, I only have half an hour to wash up at night, and I have to turn off the lights and go to bed after half an hour. When Little Q packed up and lay down on the bed, Little T had already laid down and fell asleep with his head covered with a cup. Little Q didn't take it seriously and lay down to sleep.

After turning off the lights, it felt like the whole world was slowly quieting down in the dark night, with only the yellowish street lights on the corridor sneaking in through the window. Little Q was about to go to bed when he vaguely heard the quilt shaking slightly, followed by the sound of suppressed sniffling. All of a sudden, sleepiness disappeared.

Little Q patted Little T gently, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"

Little T didn't answer, and then the quilt covering his head shook even more. A bit more powerful. Little Q didn't know what to do, so he could only pat it gently through the quilt.

After a long time, Little T gradually calmed down. She pulled down the quilt covering her head with both hands, revealing a small face with red and swollen eyes. She asked Little Q: "Your parents?" Will they quarrel?"

Little Q was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I heard that they had a quarrel when I was very young, but I don't remember it."

Listen. After hearing Xiao Q's answer, Xiao T's tears that had finally stopped flowed out again silently.

Little T sobbed, and then said softly: "I really envy you for having a pair of parents who don't quarrel. Before I went to school in the afternoon, my parents once again quarreled in front of my sister and me at home. They yelled, complained, smashed things, and said they wanted a divorce. I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, they always said that I was picked up. At first, I was very angry. I knew they were lying to me, but now that I think about it, I feel like I really picked them up."

Xiao Q felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, and softly comforted him: "Those were all coaxed by adults. Don’t believe the kid’s lies. When I was a kid, I was often told that my parents were quarreling over something they couldn’t get along with. Now they quarrel a lot. It’s okay. It’ll be over in a couple of days. There will always be friction in life."

Little T was a little excited: "I know they lied to me, but every time they quarreled and smashed things in front of me, I felt a little in my heart. The voice is telling me: Look, you are the one who picked me up. So even if I look happy when I play with you, I actually feel very inferior in my heart because you have warm parents in my family. , only endless quarrels.”

That night, Little Q listened to Little T talk about her parents and family matters so much that she forgot when the two of them fell asleep. . Fortunately, the next morning, the annoying wake-up bell rang suddenly. The two of them got up as usual, washed up, went to the playground to do morning exercises, and then went to morning reading class. Amidst the sound of reading aloud, the sun slowly filtered in through the window, and in the books The words are jumping between the lines, and they are also jumping on their half-green faces in adolescence.

In the high school entrance examination, little T and little Q were admitted to different high schools.

Little Q’s score was very high, but due to family financial reasons, he gave up the opportunity to attend the provincial model high school and went to a private but tuition-free school; because of Little Q’s departure, Little T just managed to get into the top five recommended places in rural junior high schools. In the high school entrance examination that year, Little T happened to be ranked sixth in his grade when he entered the provincial key high school.

This was a very happy thing. Little T’s parents were also proud that their child could attend a provincial key high school, and decided to live a good life and raise their two children well from now on. Yes, nothing makes parents happy and bury the hatchet more than watching their children grow up.

Also during the summer vacation of that year, in August, there was a heavy rainstorm at home, which lasted all night. At that time, Xiao Q's home was still a large mud house built with blue bricks. It was raining heavily outside, and it was dripping and drizzling inside. Xiao Q's parents didn't sleep well all night. They just took pots and buckets and shuttled around. In the room, catch the rainwater leaking from the roof.

Early the next morning, the rain stopped, and the air was filled with earthy smell, but it was very fresh. Looking up, on the mountain opposite, the trees are lush and green, especially beautiful and charming. There is also some mist in the mountains, like a fairyland on earth.

Before he could stretch his legs, little Q heard his father coming back from walking on the street say: "Do you have a classmate named Little T?"

Little Q nodded. : "What's wrong?"

"She must be living in the gravel factory on the opposite road now. I heard someone said in the morning that the heavy rain last night caused a landslide, and the hut where her family lived was just right. It was built on a mountain, and a landslide pushed the house down in the middle of the night. Her father and sister were gone, but she and her mother escaped by chance because they slept in a side house. ”

When Xiao Q heard the news, he was shocked. How could it be?

Little Q recognizes Little T’s sister. She will be in second grade in the second half of the year. She is also the monitor of the class. She is also a good child with both good character and academic performance. She also looks quirky. Everyone says she is better than Little Q. T is much prettier. And little T’s father is less than forty years old. How will little T and her mother live in the future?

Little Q didn’t believe it. But later on, more and more people were discussing this matter, and even those who didn’t believe it had to believe it.

Little Q wanted to see Little T, but she didn’t dare to go. She didn’t know how to comfort Little T.

At that time, children did not have mobile phones, so they had to wait until they went to school before contacting them. But after going to school, Little T and Little Q went to different schools with different start dates and different monthly vacations. As a result, Little T and Little Q never saw each other again.

Little T seemed to have evaporated from the world. All Xiao Q knew was that she finally went to that high school to study, but she had no idea which class she was in or how she was doing.

Times have passed, but Little Q will still think of Little T occasionally. For example, is she in love or married? Which city are you in now? How are you doing?

I guess, she must live a good life, she must live a good life, she must live a good life...
