Chapter 10: Stolen Happiness

Wu Di got on the hand-held tractor and drove all the way towards Kaoshantun. The dog who came to pick him up had a big and honest face. He basically used the police interrogation method to communicate along the way. Wu Di asked a question or a few words.

Gouzi was dismissed with just a few words. Later, I learned that Gouzi had been deceived several times when he went out to work. He was deeply afraid of city people like them. If there were no young adults in the village, he would not have come at all.

Pick up Wu Di.

Wu Di has the most luggage among all the people, including two large trolley suitcases. His colleagues all laughed at him for planning to move his family to Shantun Township, but no one cared about what was in it. Only Wu Di knew that it was a full suitcase.

fairy tale and a box full of snacks.

When we arrived at Kaoshantun Village, we were just in time for dinner. The village party secretary, village chief, and accountant Uncle Zhang received Wu Di. Wu Di would stay at his home for the next two days. In the mountains in May, the night was very cold, so he wore a

The party secretary wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket had a cold expression. In the past two years, he had seen many people who came to give alms. He didn't like to see Wu Di, a young man, and he was lukewarm. Dinner was steamed buns and pickles, and the soft-hearted Aunt Zhang was disappointed.

Two salted eggs were pushed into Wu Di's bowl.

Seeing Wu Di, who was wearing only a jacket, shivering from the cold, Aunt Zhang kept urging Wu Di to open two large bags to get clothes. Wu Di had no choice but to open the box and said:

"It's all for the children, with a little care."

Aunt Zhang's eyes were red, she went into the house and took out a new down jacket, shouting:

"Old man, I gave your New Year clothes to Xiao Wu."

Uncle Zhang nodded, looked at Wu Di and said:

"Xiao Wu, you are a good person, different from them."

"Alas, a group of people come every few months, bringing their own food, accompanied by leaders to harm the livestock, and donating money, but no one cares about it! Xiao Wu, you are a thoughtful person, these children are suffering.

.Born in this mountain, what a fate!"

Wu Di was tossing and turning in the west room, unable to fall asleep. There are more than thirty households in Shantun Village, which is the largest village within dozens of miles around. The average household income is less than a thousand yuan, and all the young people are forced to go out to work. This is an empty nest.

The village is a village for left-behind children. Everyone in the village has the surname Zhang. What about Lu Jiefang?

Kaoshantun Primary School is also a newly built Hope Primary School. There are three classes and 62 students. It is basically two grades in one class. There is one principal and two private teachers. Wu Di came to the school ten minutes early, and all the students

The children had already gathered at the simple playground in front of the school building. The moment he stepped into the campus, a clear salute sounded, and sixty-two children wearing various clothes and red scarves gave him the Young Pioneers salute.

For a moment, Wu Di's eyes were moist. This was the arrangement of the old party secretary. Except for the kind man who helped build the Hope Primary School, no one had ever accepted this lofty gift. Wu Di did it with a box of books and snacks. He never thought that

He is a noble person, but at this moment, he feels that his soul has been purified.

Wu Di stared at the children with tearful eyes. He immediately recognized Lu Xingfu, who was in the middle of the first row. He looked so much like him that he was a replica of Minister Ou. He was stunned for a moment, and then turned away from his purpose.

, because that is an insult to this group of children.

The principal is Lu Jiefang, a stinky old man who hid here during the Special Period. He has stayed in the village since the Special Period. He is already in his early sixties. The other two teachers are villagers with high school education. When the children see

When the children's books and snacks were neatly arranged in the trolley case, the cheers almost lifted the roof. A teacher stood in front of the children and shouted:

"How about letting Teacher Wu teach us a lesson?"

"good!"

The cheers frightened the birds flying all over the mountain.

Wu Di handed the book to Lu Jiefang, turned over the snack box, and asked:

"Does the school have a TV? I bought a CD player and a hundred DVDs. They are all pirated. Find an opportunity to show them to the children. The CD player is easy to break. If it breaks, please call me. I will

Send two more units over."

Lu Jiefang patted Wu Di on the shoulder very forcefully,

"You are a thoughtful person. The children will remember you. Go, teach them a lesson and let them see hope."

The meal Wu Di had at school at noon was good, and it was comparable to what he had when he was in high school in the county. Lu Jiefang said:

"The party secretary and I will supervise each other's money. If anyone dares to blackmail this money, I will fight with him to the death!"

Wu Di smiled and said,

"I think the villagers are also very careful about this money. Even if they eat and drink extravagantly, it's not the money that will be used, right?"

"Which son of a bitch dares? These hundreds of babies are counting on this to grow taller! Whoever touches this money will be beaten until the baby can't get off the bed!"

The old party secretary’s words had a strong impact.

The afternoon class went on normally. Wu Di, who had been talking about fairy tales and city stories all morning, had a sore throat and had to retreat early. When he and the old party secretary were walking up the mountain, they talked about Lu Jiefang.

"Lao Lu is a good man. He hid in our village during a special period in the 1970s. He was so young at that time. Unfortunately, my wife's body was broken by the torture. She was pregnant when she came, and the child died in her belly.

She's not your aunt's mother. She can't even be protected by adults, and her health has been not good now. The special period is over, and Lao Lu is also frightened. I heard that his parents passed away at that time, and he thought about it. Here he is.

I have been teaching for half my life. I had a baby when I was over fifty. Good people have a hard life."

Wu Di's heart trembled. Why is there such a bad fate? Why do you have to tear apart another family to make one family happy? What should I do? Principal Lu and the others have nothing but this child. Do I really have the heart to break all this? But,

Minister Ou, what did they do wrong? These damn human traffickers!

He could only stay in the village for two days and had to make a decision as soon as possible. Wu Di planned to visit Lu Jiefang's house in the evening.

At dinner, Lu Jiefang invited Wu Di to his home for dinner, and Wu Di followed suit. As soon as he entered the courtyard, a kind old lady with white hair greeted him.

"Xiao Wu, how are you? Are you still used to it?"

"Habit, I also grew up in the mountains when I was a child. Where is Principal Lu?"

"I'm cooking. I'm not in good health. I can't do this fumbling work. I have worked hard for you, Uncle Lu, for so many years."

"Where's the little happiness?"

"I'm helping the kitchen, Lao Lu is not feeling well either."

"You can't do this now. Go to the city for a checkup. You could resist it when you were young, but now that you're older, you should pay more attention."

"Haha, rural people are cheap and can resist. Let's not block the door and talk. Come in and sit down."

After dinner, Lu Xingfu said hello and ran to school to watch TV. One hundred DVDs were enough to last for several years. When Wu Di saw Lu Xingfu running away, he opened his mouth and fell silent again.

"Xiao Wu, are you worried?"

Wu Di tortured his heart over and over again, whether he had any intention of currying favor with Minister Ou. The answer was both yes and no. When he can borrow strength in the future, he will use it, but he will never betray himself in order to borrow it.

dignity. Both families are unfortunate, and he is unwilling to hurt either party, but things must be resolved, so just follow your own heart.

"Uncle, aunt, isn't Happiness your grandson?"

Lu Jiefang's body trembled, and he stared at Wu Di closely, like a tiger protecting its calf. Aunt Song beside him tightly grabbed his hand, trembling all over.

"The branch secretary told me, but I think I may know happy parents."

The first sentence made the two old men relax, but the next sentence was no less than a bolt from the blue!

When Wu Di was about to say more, Aunt Song raised her hand to stop him. The old couple stood up tremblingly, letting tears flow freely on their gorge-filled faces. After a moment, the two of them turned around and walked toward the back room with support.

Wu Di was stunned there, clutching his fingers unconsciously with both hands. He didn't know whether he should leave or stay now.

"Xiao Wu, come in."

Wu Di stood up suddenly, feeling a little rushed and dizzy. He staggered for a moment and then walked toward the back room after standing firm.

Principal Lu was lying on the bed facing the wall. Aunt Song was standing on the chair. When she saw Wu Di coming in, she came down tremblingly, pointed to a box in the corner of the room, and said:

"Come on, Xiao Wu, help Auntie move that box down."

The box is a red-painted wooden box, more than half a meter long, very heavy, and I don't know what it contains.

Opening the box, Wu Di saw that it was full of clothes. He was still wondering why it was so heavy. The old man took out a package from the bottom of the box with trembling hands and said:

"When we met Dou Dou, he was about three or four years old. A woman in her thirties brought him to her because she said she couldn't live with too many babies. The child looked very pitiful. He grabbed the woman's clothes and kept whispering.

Shouting: Grandma, Grandma. We softened our hearts and agreed to stay. Later, when we were changing clothes, we saw that the child was covered with injuries, and we realized that the child was abducted. He didn't dare to say anything when asked. He was probably beaten.

She was so cruel that she could only speak the word "nannan", so we mistakenly heard her as grandma. After raising her for two years and being able to speak, she had almost forgotten everything about her childhood. She only remembered that there was grass at home and a leather swing.

When he was seven years old, he once heard someone talking about Beijing. He was particularly impressed. Maybe his home was near Beijing. These were the clothes he wore when he came here. The coat was definitely not worn when he lost it, but he didn't change his long johns.

There is also a name embroidered on it, Ou Doudou, which is very delicate. We should have gone to Beijing to try it a long time ago. It is all our fault that the aunt is too selfish and obsessed with things, which has delayed the child for so many years. Seeing that the child has grown up and become sensible,

But he can only stay in this mountain. We are sorry for him and his parents."

"Auntie, please don't say that, don't..."

"Xiao Wu, I once had a child, and I know the pain of loss. We have been selfish for five years, and the child has been with us for five years. That's enough, it's really enough. Don't say anything anymore. When you leave,

Take Doudou away. Lu Xingfu, Lu Xingfu, stolen happiness."

The old man slumped down on his chair and insisted:

"In the past two years, we have been discussing whether to go to Beijing to see if we can still find his parents. However, we keep making excuses and delay it for several years. If we delay it any longer, the child will be ruined. You,
