Chapter 27 7

After several days of ineffective searching, he was almost depressed. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhenqing called him to his construction site and said mysteriously: "How can you thank me if I find it for you?" "I... recognize your mother as a godmother!" said Wang Xiaosong, who had been depressed for many days. It turned out that seven out of ten of Wu Zhenqing's troops belonged to the corps. After a lot of mobilization, they found a "Dongdong". This girl's parents divorced when she was young, and her brother was called Lin Fan. , also died in the Great Northern Wilderness, but her current name is not Lin Dongdong.But Wu Zhenqing said, when a girl grows up, how many people still call her by her nickname?Wang Xiaosong dragged Wu Zhenqing and went to find him.

The girl's family lived in a small alley, and she seemed to be doing something like tailoring clothes, sitting behind the sewing machine and rolling non-stop.At first they were taken as job seekers in a garment factory, but she didn't look up until Wu Zhenqing told her, "We are all comrades in your brother's Corps." Wang Xiaosong asked: "Your brother's name is Lin Fan?" The girl nodded. Wang Xiaosong asked again: "Is your brother a senior in high school?" The girl nodded again. Wang Xiaosong was moved: "Your brother... died in the Great Northern Wilderness?"

The girl's tears were about to roll down, and she nodded vigorously. "Good sister!" Wang Xiaosong almost shouted, "I found you, your brother was my platoon leader! I kept dozens of letters from your brother, all of which were written to you! He didn't know where he was going. Where to send..." The girl stood up from behind the sewing machine, walked in front of Wang Xiaosong, took the stack of letters, turned around and hugged the letters to her chest and cried. Next, Wang Xiaosong told her that her brother had made her a birch bark lampshade. She also told Wang Xiaosong and Wu Zhenqing what had happened to her, and told them how much her brother's death had hit their family.In the end, the girl said: "I think I'm alive and well. I can earn two hundred yuan a month. It's mediocre. I can get by. Do you want to see my brother's photo album when he was young?"

After leaving the girl's house, Wang Xiaosong told Wu Zhenqing that this girl was not the Lin Dongdong he was looking for, because the Lin Fan in the album was not his dead platoon leader.But before watching the album, I have already handed over dozens of letters to this girl, so how can I ask for it back?Wu Zhenqing seemed to think a little more, and said, "Don't write back, don't you have to give the birch bark lampshade to others?" Can I still ask for it back?What to say to that girl?A misunderstanding? At night, Wang Xiaosong took out the birch bark lampshade wrapped in plastic cloth. The lampshade had been discolored and deformed due to long-term moths. He poked it with his hand and made a hole. The hole—obviously, it can no longer be used as a lampshade.

He said to the platoon leader in his heart: We all believed that the lampshade made of birch bark can last at least twenty years. It seems that we were wrong... Comfort one soul if you can comfort one in this world.The next day, it was a rainy day, Wang Xiaosong came to the girl's house, and he said to the girl: "I'm really sorry, that birch bark lampshade, after so many years, it's wrapped like a lampshade, once opened, it's like a lampshade." It fell apart, so... I couldn't bring it to you." The girl opened the box silently, took out the bundle of letters, and returned them to him with both hands, saying: "I should say I'm sorry, I read all these letters last night, this is not a letter from my brother, A letter from another brother to another sister..."

Wang Xiaosong said loudly: "No! That's a letter from your brother, you can't doubt it! You must believe it," his voice became louder and louder, and finally he shouted, "I'm looking for Many geniuses have found you!" The girl looked at him and said calmly, "But I can't lie to myself..." Wang Xiaosong had no choice but to accept the letter, and said softly: "Yes, me too..."
