Chapter 41 twenty one

Wang Xiaosong took his mother to a hospital for eye disease treatment. While helping his mother upstairs, he passed another woman. At this moment, he saw such a familiar face! At that moment, he was stunned, he seemed to smell a breath of the past era; familiar, sad but warm breath.Moreover, he clearly noticed that the face he was watching had the same astonishment as his. But how is this possible!He still blurted out: "Hao Mei!" Hao Mei turned her head slowly and went downstairs with the girl on her back.Abandoning his mother, Wang Xiaosong chased down the stairs and shouted, "Hao Mei! Hao Mei!"

Hao Mei has gone to a lower level with her daughter on her back.Wang Xiaosong was reluctant, and finally returned to his mother. Mother asked: "Who did you meet? Why do I hear... Your name seems to be Hao Mei?" Wang Xiaosong said, "Yes... I think a woman... looks so much like Hao Mei." "Xiangguixiang...Hao Mei, isn't she already...gone?" "Yeah... Hao Mei... is no longer here." Wang Xiaosong helped his mother up the stairs, and helped her sit down on the bench.Wang Xiaosong was still not reconciled: "Mom, you sit here for a while, I... I'll go..."

The mother said understandingly: "Go. I also have this kind of time. I know that I have identified the wrong person, but I don't give up if I don't ask him face to face." Wang Xiaosong left his mother and ran downstairs. The mother was sitting on the bench, she couldn't see anything, but the past events she had seen appeared more clearly in her mind.Just now Wang Xiaosong called Hao Mei, which deeply hurt her heart.She recalled that winter night, when Hao Mei came back from the Corps with big bags and small bags on her shoulders; she was wearing a Corps soldier's padded jacket and trousers, and a sheep-sheared Corps soldier cap on her head. Said that both parents have gone to the cadre school, and the house in the family has been taken by others, and the mother told her lovingly from the bottom of her heart: From now on, the mother’s home will be your home.How handsome Hao Mei was at that time!She rubbed her cold hands for Hao Mei, and Hao Mei also burst into tears at the joy of having a warm home.

She was still a child when she left, and now she is a grown girl when she comes back this time. Hao Mei knitted a sweater for her father, mother, and even Xiao Song.How many good things did Hao Mei bring back, such as fungus, yellow flowers, mushrooms, monkey heads... Before Hao Mei went to visit her parents in the cadre school, she and Hao Mei made so many dumplings together, and they were frozen outside. Frozen "quack".They poured the frozen dumplings into the noodle pockets, and when they left, she specifically asked Hao Mei to tell her parents that her poor family would be Hao Mei's home in the city from now on.

So far, on the bench in this hospital, my mother can still clearly see Hao Mei, who is gradually drifting away in the heavy snow... Wang Xiaosong returned to his mother disappointedly and said, "Mom, are you in a hurry?" Mother said: "Mom is not in a hurry... People and people are fate. Sometimes, you have to believe in fate. Mom and your aunt lack fate. Although you recognize your god-sister, it seems that fate is against you. You and Hao Mei That child seems to have no fate. Son, forget about her! Besides, you have already married and become a father. Even if she is still alive, so what?" Wang Xiaosong also sat down on the bench and asked: " Mom, do you... know what happened to Hao Mei?"

"How did Mom know? Ever since she visited our house and lived in our house for a few days, there was no news from the Corps. One year when Zhenqing came back from a visit, I asked, and I found out that the child had contracted some kind of hemorrhagic fever. It’s gone. You also know about it from Zhenqing and Tsui Hark, right?” Wang Xiaosong sighed, "Yes. Zhenqing wrote to me at the university and told me." Mother said: "That kid Zhenqing never made up nonsense, and besides, he has no reason to make up nonsense to lie to mom and you. What are you doing?" "Yeah, Zhenqing won't do that..."

The mother opened her eyes and said, "But...you asked me that, I remembered something, and I felt a little suspicious..." "Mom, what's the matter? Tell me quickly!" Mother sighed: "Some old things from that year, let's not talk about it..." Wang Xiaosong begged: "Mom..." Mother said firmly: "Don't ask, it's useless to ask about things that Mom doesn't want to say." Wang Xiaosong also said seriously: "Mom, you can't hide some things from me. This is very important to me." Mother said: "It's more important than your wholehearted desire to cure Mom's eyes?"

Wang Xiaosong's gaze was attracted by another woman carrying a child on her back. The clothes worn by that woman were similar to those worn by the woman he thought was Hao Mei just now. He chased after her, of course the woman was not Hao Mei, she was carrying a boy.
