My name is Zhao Jianlin, my family lives in the mountains, in those days, materials were very scarce, usually hens lay eggs, generally reluctant to eat, but saved, and then taken to the market to sell.
Since I have four hens at home, selling eggs is also a lot of income for my family, and my family attaches great importance to it.
My mother came to me that day, did I boil two eggs this morning? I replied no, but I felt a little strange in my heart, and before I could ask a question, my mother continued.
"It's really strange, you didn't eat it, your father and I didn't eat it, can the egg still disappear out of thin air, could it be that it was stolen by a weasel?"
At that time, I laughed at her for being old and having a bad memory, and my mother muttered a few words, and this matter passed like this.
As a result, two days later, there were two less eggs in the house, and this time the mother was very sure that the two eggs must have been stolen from someone else, because since the last incident, the mother would count the eggs every day and remember them clearly.
So I discussed it with my father and decided to take turns keeping vigils in the evening, and if the other party could come twice, then it would probably come a third time in a short time.
But this time the other party seems to have learned wisely, and my father and I squatted for two nights in a row, but we didn't catch his rat tail.
On the third night, when I was dozing off in the living room, I suddenly heard a clang, a trap I had set and worked, and I immediately grabbed the stick I had placed beside me and rushed towards the chicken coop.
There was a figure in the darkness who wanted to escape, but where was he who I was familiar with? After ten seconds, I was pressed to the ground, and my father, who heard the movement, also rushed over with a flashlight.
As the orange light hit the man's face, the identity of the thief was revealed, and we were amazed.
"How are you?"
We all know this chicken thief, who lives near us, named Lee Myung-bak, who is only about 14 years old and is still a child.
His father had died in an accident, leaving him with a mother with a disabled left foot to live with him and his two younger sisters.
Usually he is well-behaved and sensible, his academic performance is very good, and the big guys have a good impression of him, but they didn't expect him to do such a thing.
After that, my father and I took him into the living room, and during this time Mingbo kept his head down and did not speak, as if he was thinking about something.
"Xiao Li, tell me, why did you steal the eggs? If you guessed correctly, you also stole the eggs a few days ago. ”
"Uncle Zhao, I, I didn't mean to, since I made a mistake, I have to admit it, if you want to punish me, punish me alone. ”
He looks quite backbone, but after all, he is still young, so I want to scare him.
"If you don't, I'll go to your mother the next day and ask her to pay me for my eggs. ”
Unexpectedly, after I finished speaking, all of a sudden, Mingbo knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Uncle Zhao, I beg you, don't tell my mother about this matter, otherwise she will be sad, and her illness will worsen at that time. ”
Hearing him say this, I probably guessed that the boy had another secret reason for stealing the eggs, so I quickly helped him up and asked him to sit on a stool and tell me what was going on.
Maybe it was suppressed for too long, but at this time, Mingbo told me everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
It turned out that half a month ago, his mother contracted a cold and coughed every day, and now after such a long time, not only did it not reduce, but began to worsen.
He listened to the teachers at the school that eating eggs could alleviate his condition, but his family was poor and white, and he couldn't afford to buy eggs.
So Mingbo thought of my house, among the neighbors nearby, only my family has the most chickens, but stealing other people's things is immoral after all, so Mingbo hesitated for a long time and never made up his mind.
Until that afternoon, he saw that his mother was coughing and couldn't breathe, so he thought that he sneaked into my house tonight and took two eggs.
The next morning, I told my mother that I had picked it up on the road, and I gave one of them to my mother, and the other was divided into two halves and given to my two younger sisters.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Mingbo's mother doesn't seem to have a cough much after eating, but this is only temporary, after a few days her condition is still the same, and Mingbo, who has no choice, has to come to my house again.
Originally, Mingbo had already made up his mind at that time, this was the last time, but he didn't expect that after eating tonight, his mother actually coughed up blood, and he couldn't sleep in bed after saving his mother, so he came to my house again.
After listening to this, I couldn't help but sigh, this child's heart is not bad, the reason why he would make such a move, is just forced by life, you must know that at that time, there were more than a dozen eggs scattered in the chicken coop, but he only took two each time.
"Don't worry, kid, I won't talk to anyone about it. ”
Then I turned around and went to the kitchen, took out all the eggs, not much, about twenty, then took a jar of vegetable oil, and stuffed them all into Mingbo's arms.
Mingbo didn't refuse, he knew he needed these things, only to see him suddenly fall to his knees on the ground, kowtow to me three times before leaving my house with his things.
The next afternoon, I went to Mingbo's house, because from his description yesterday his mother's illness was by no means a simple cold, and it turned out that his mother had fainted on the bed, pale and breathless.
We rushed her to the village health center, and the village doctor took a look at her and told us to rush to the big hospital.
After the doctor's diagnosis, it was found to be pneumonia, and because it was not treated in time, it had progressed to the point of organ failure, and finally because the rescue was ineffective, Mingbo's mother passed away.
Without his parents, three and a half years old, life is very difficult, because there is no financial resources, Mingbo even dropped out of school.
After I saw their lives, I felt unbearable, so I secretly funded their lives, sent them some daily necessities from time to time, and also took out money so that Mingbo would continue to go to school no matter what.
When my wife found out, she complained and said that she was miserable, but she had three more children for no reason, and I could only be sloppy about this, after all, I couldn't watch them starve to death.
However, she is also a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and sometimes she has dumplings at home, and she asks me to bring a little to Mingbo and them.
In this way, a few years passed in a flash, and Mingbo was also very competitive, and he was admitted to the university with his own efforts.
However, when he got the admission letter, his poor family couldn't afford the tuition, so he wanted to give up this opportunity and go out to do odd jobs.
After I found out, I sold the piglets that had not grown up in the family, and before the money I got was hot, I handed it to Mingbo.
"You just go, the matter of tuition, Uncle will come to find a way. ”
Looking at the money in his hand, Mingbo had already burst into tears and knelt in front of me again.
"Uncle Zhao, I have kept all the kindness you have been to me over the years, you will be my father in the future, and if I have a future in the future, I will not forget to repay you. ”
After that, Mingbo went to the university to take classes, because of his excellent performance, and he was praised by the school several times, and because it was a key university, Mingbo was directly assigned to work in a public institution after graduation.
After several years of hard work, Mingbo's position is also rising steadily, and the monthly salary and welfare subsidies are very objective, which is several times that of our farming.
Usually no matter how busy I am at work, as long as Mingbo goes home, he will come to see me, and during the New Year's holidays, he will also come to visit with gifts.
The wives all said, "Your godson is better to you than your own son."
Now, decades have passed, and Mingbo has also become the director, but he still treats me as a courtesy, as he said, and treats me as a father.
