Mr Duan is always unhappy

Chapter 8 8

Some things are said to be old accounts. Although the memory has not been forgotten, the wound has already healed.

Now it's tumbling out again, but the healed scar is still aching.

As far as Duan Lin can remember, he was the youngest son in the family. From outsiders, your old Duan family is really up to date, and with this little guy, you have three sons.

When Duan's father and Duan's mother heard such compliments from outsiders, they felt very embarrassed.

But Duan Lin's childhood was not happy.

The sons in the countryside are given land, and when the son grows up, he will naturally build a house and marry a wife. Therefore, the old couple must make plans early. The Duan family now has three sons, and at least three houses will be built. This will worry the Duan family's parents. In the past few years, farm work could not earn much money, so Duan's father simply went out to work, leaving Duan's mother alone with one daughter and three sons at home.

At that time, Duan's mother was looking for a husband's house for the eldest sister, and she followed the matchmaker around to find out who was rich. Duan Lin, who was four years old, was left at home to be taken care of by her two brothers.

The older brothers don't like this little brother who steals all the attention of their parents from birth, especially the four-year-old child is very noisy, Duan Lin is no exception, always arguing to find his mother, or wanting to go out to play, but the older brothers He wanted to stay at home and watch TV while school was over, so in order not to let Duan Lin disturb them, he locked Duan Lin in the farthest back room and let him cry.

There was no window in the back room, and Duan Lin couldn't reach the switch to turn on the light. He was locked in the dark room alone, crying loudly in fear.

After crying for a long time, the neighbors were alerted to come to see him, and then he opened the door and let him out. After Duan's mother came home, the neighbors complained to Duan's mother.

Duan's mother naturally punished the two elder brothers severely. At that time, the little Duan Lin, who was crying with red eyes, hid behind his mother and watched the two elder brothers screaming when they were beaten by their mother. Duan Lin's eyes were extremely fierce.

After the beating, the elder brothers didn't show any obvious resistance to their mother's request to take their younger brother. But after Duan's mother left, they still locked Duan Lin in a dark back room, tied a bed sheet to a chair, and put a rag on the bed. Gag him so he can't cry, then close the door and continue watching TV.

After that, Duan Lin didn't dare to stay at home anymore. Every time his mother went out, he cried and wanted to follow him. After a long time, Duan's mother also found him annoying, and didn't believe his complaint. It's all to make money for you, you have to be sensible, and don't mess around at home obediently!

Duan Lin didn't understand the meaning of making money when he was a child, but he was afraid that his brothers would tie him up, so he insisted on asking his mother to take him with him. As a result, there was a big fight, but his mother beat him up again.

Duan Lin found that the harder he cried, the harder his mother beat him, and the more his brothers hated him.

From then on, Duan Lin didn't dare to cry or make trouble. While his brothers were watching TV in the house, he moved a small bench and sat in the yard in a daze.

Later, the neighbor's puppy gave birth to a puppy, and he gave him one, so he had a little friend. The two elder brothers also liked puppies, so Duan's mother kept the dog and gave him some leftovers every day. Leftovers, the dogs are also doing well.

That period of time was a rare time for Duan Lin to be happy. He ran wildly with the dog in the yard every day, and he had a good time even if he didn't want to find others.

Later, when the elder sister got married, the family had a gift money, Duan's father also earned a sum of money when he came back from part-time work, and built a new house for the family. Seeing that the living conditions were better than before, Duan Lin also reached the age of school at this time.

Having a new friend at school, and being accompanied by a dog at home, Duan Lin's life is much easier.

It's a pity that within a few years, Duan's father fell on the construction site and hurt his tailbone, so he couldn't get out of bed for a long time.

The family's expenses all fell on the mother at once. At that time, Duan Lin, who had gradually become sensible, realized what the money that his parents and brothers always talked about was what it was.

Money is needed for food, money for clothing, money for housing, money for school, money for medical treatment, and money for everything. A thin stack of banknotes can make the whole family suffocate.

Seeing that Duan's mother couldn't take it anymore, the villagers suggested that they really couldn't do it, so they should give away Xiao Duan Lin. He is still young and can't remember anything, and he can get some money back.

That night, Xiao Duan Lin was lying by the window, watching his father smoking a suffocating cigarette, his mother crying bitterly, the bugs in the corner screaming non-stop, and the moonlight in the sky was as cool as water.

Two days later, my mother said that the second uncle took him to the city to buy clothes, and he had to be good. He listened to the second uncle's words, and Duan Lin woke up happily early in the morning, and was driven by the second uncle to the city in a small tricycle. , When I went to the city, I met the second uncle's friend. The second uncle said that he still had something to do, so Xiao Duan Lin went to play with the friend first.

It was a couple from the city. They saw that little Duan Lin was white and cute, and they liked it very much. They took Duan Lin to the shopping mall, ate delicious food, and played for a whole day. When it got dark, they brought little Duan Lin back. at home.

Little Duan Lin waited until dark at this house and didn't wait for his second uncle to pick him up. He was startled and frightened, so he opened the door and slipped out when the couple didn't pay attention.

Afraid of being caught back, he ran all the way in the cold wind and cried all the way. In the middle of the night, a passerby happened to see him when he was off work. Seeing him pitiful, he asked him what happened, did he get lost with the adults, and where did he live?

He somehow understood some things, and he still remembered the name of his village, so he told the man where he lived, and the man called the police and asked the police to send him home.

Probably only God knows how happy and happy he was when he returned to the small village he was very familiar with in the police car and saw the blanched blessing on the dilapidated iron gate of his house. Home, his voice trembled with excitement when he heard the dog barking, he kept knocking on the door, calling mom, mom.

But when his mother opened the door and saw him, the expression on her face was extremely stunned.

The father sent the police away with a smile, and when he came back, he also looked solemn.

There was still a stack of red banknotes on the table in the living room, 3 yuan, no more, no less, they had just counted.
