"Dad, I'm back." There was no sound in the room, and Lingling didn't care. She found a bowl and put the buns down, put down her schoolbag, and prepared to wash her hands and cook. He added water to the pot, placed the buns on the drawer, carefully closed the lid, and turned outsi

"Dad, I'm back." Lingling, a thirteen-year-old girl, came in with a few buns and shouted into the house.

There was no sound in the room, and Lingling didn't care. She found a bowl and put the buns down, put down her schoolbag, and prepared to wash her hands and cook.

Added water to the pot, put the buns on the drawer, carefully closed the lid, turned around and went outside to collect firewood, did everything so skillfully that he didn't look like a thirteen-year-old child.

"Lingling, have you cooked?" As soon as she walked out of the hospital door, she met the second aunt next door.

"We are getting ready to do it." Lingling picked up the firewood at the entrance of the courtyard. There was not much firewood, so she should find some time to pick up some.

"If you haven't done anything yet, come to my house to eat." Second Auntzi warmly invited Lingling.

"No, Second Aunt, sister-in-law Xiaojuan just gave me several buns, I have to eat them quickly." Lingling rejected Second Aunt's kindness and returned to the house with a handful of firewood.

The second aunt next door looked at Lingling's back, sighed, turned around and went back to the house.

Lingling put the firewood next to the stove, lit it, walked into the house, and said to the person on the kang, "Dad, sister-in-law Xiaojuan just gave me four buns. I'll heat them up in a while."

The man on the kang didn't answer, he just looked straight out with his eyes.

Lingling didn't wait for the man's answer, turned around and left the room, and continued working at the stove.

There are only two people in the family, Lingling and her father. Three years ago, Lingling’s father took Lingling out on a motorcycle trip and accidentally got into a car accident. Lingling was slightly injured. She called an adult to save her father, but Lingling’s father was paralyzed. Lower half of the body.

Lingling's mother took care of Lingling's father for more than half a year. In the end, she couldn't stand Lingling's father's unprovoked temper and ran away in anger. From then on, only ten-year-old Lingling and Lingling's father, who was paralyzed in bed, were left in the family.

People in the village saw that Lingling's family was having a hard time, so they spontaneously took care of Lingling's paralyzed father and ignorant Lingling.

Lingling's father became more and more taciturn after Lingling's mother left. Uncle Li, a carpenter in the village, helped him make a wooden wheelchair to make it easier for him to go out, but he never used it.

html After her mother left, 40-year-old Lingling learned to cook and wash clothes from the aunts in the village, and gradually kept the house in order. Now, there is no need for villagers to come to take care of them.

This year, Lingling has entered the sixth grade and will enter middle school in a few months. After finishing the meal, Lingling quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and studied silently on the kitchen stove alone.

At this time, the village chief came in with a man and a woman, "Lingling——"

Lingling, who was doing homework, saw the village chief come in and quickly got up, "Uncle Liang, you are here."

"Lingling, Homework?" The village chief walked towards Lingling, bent down and picked up Lingling's book and looked at it.

"Well, I just finished eating and will do some homework." Lingling answered obediently. She was very kind to this uncle who had helped her family countless times.

"Okay, you write it. I'll go into the house and talk to your dad about something." After saying that, the village chief put down Lingling's textbook and led the middle-aged man and woman toward the house.

Lingling's father has been very taciturn since he became paralyzed. At first, some uncles would come to chat with him from time to time, but later they stopped coming. What's going on with the village chief's visit today?

In the house -

"Changqing, I don't need to tell you about your family's situation. You also know. Lingling is still so young and will go to junior high school soon. She will also need money by then. If there is a willing person who wants her, no Easy." The village chief persuaded him earnestly.

Lingling’s father, Zhang Changqing, was on the kang. He could not move his lower body and legs, but was leaning against the wall with a livid face and said nothing.

"Brother, we also saw Lingling's child just now. To be honest, we really like her. And we are in the next village and have heard of Lingling." The middle-aged woman who followed said.

It turned out that the two people who came in with the village chief were a couple who lived in the next village. Because of the woman's poor health, she had not been able to give birth to a child for many years, and the couple finally gave up. Later, when I heard about Lingling's family, wanted to see if there was a chance to adopt Lingling.

"Yes, brother, don't worry, we have adopted Lingling, you can visit Lingling at any time, don't worry about not being able to see her." The man said, lest Lingling's father would not be willing to let go of Lingling.

Lingling’s father figured out the purpose of the village chief’s visit, but he never spoke and just sat there with a livid face.

"I don't want to." Lingling suddenly opened the door and walked in, "Uncle Liang, I don't want to."

"Lingling, Uncle Liang doesn't want to separate you and your dad, but you are about to go to junior high school. When the time comes, It costs a lot, and your family's situation is really difficult." When the village chief saw Lingling coming in, he didn't treat her like a child and explained everything clearly.

"Yes, Lingling, when you come to my aunt's house, my aunt promises to treat you as her own daughter, okay?" Seeing Lingling's reluctance, the middle-aged woman thought she was worried that she would be wronged when she came to her own home.

"Uncle Liang, and this uncle and aunt, Lingling appreciates your kindness, but I can't leave my dad, I won't go anywhere." Lingling was very polite, but refused loudly.

Lingling’s father on the kang moved his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn’t say anything.

Seeing that Lingling was so persistent, the village chief could not continue to persuade him, "Okay, Lingling, if you have any difficulties then, remember to tell Uncle Liang in time."

The middle-aged man and woman saw that things were not working out, and their faces were full of confusion. Lonely, he walked out with the village chief.

Lingling sent a few people out of the house. When she came back, it was as if nothing had happened. She continued to write homework on the stove. Lingling's father in the room was silently thinking about something .

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for Lingling's entrance exam. Lingling had prepared a meal for her father in advance, "Dad, I put the meal in the pot. You can just take it out and eat it at noon. You can cook it when I come back in the evening."

Because It was the college entrance examination, and Lingling needed to go to town and couldn't go home at noon, so she prepared a meal for her father in advance and warned him.

"Yeah." Lingling's father didn't have any extra words, he just hummed to express that he understood.

Lingling then left the house with her schoolbag relieved.

Lingling’s father lay on the kang for a while after Lingling left. Then he got up with difficulty and sat on the wooden wheelchair that he had never used before.

Turning the wheels of the wooden wheelchair, Lingling's father moved to the courtyard. The long-lost sunshine shone on his body. Looking at the clean yard that Lingling had tidied up, Lingling's father was silent for a long time.

moved back into the house and found Lingling's notebook and pen. wrote something strange on it. After finishing writing, he put the paper under the bowl and turned the wooden wheelchair out of the door alone.

After taking the exam for a whole day, it was already dark when Lingling got home, "Dad, I'm back."

There was still no one talking in the room, and Lingling didn't feel strange. She put down her schoolbag and got ready to cook.

Inadvertently glanced towards the back room, Lingling suddenly found that the wooden wheelchair that was often placed next to the kang was missing. She hurriedly walked into the house, only to find that her father was not on the kang. There was only a piece of paper pressed on the kang. Lingling took it out. I can't worry about you. Now that you have grown up and can take care of yourself, dad can leave with peace of mind. After your father leaves, you talk to the village chief and find the person who came to adopt you before.

Dad knows that you don’t want to go because you are worried about Dad. You are a good boy. I am really ashamed that you have taken care of my father these past few years. Don't be sad, Dad just did what he always wanted to do.

Dad left

After Lingling read what her father left, she didn’t expect that her father actually committed suicide.. She quickly ran out of the yard and asked for help from others. After hearing what Lingling said, the people in the village also hurriedly searched everywhere.

Lingling also wanted to go out to search, but the village chief asked her to stay at home when Lingling was still a child and organized a large group of people to search.

Dozens of people searched until midnight, and finally found the wooden wheelchair by the river. After hearing the news, Lingling stumbled to the river, looked at the familiar wooden wheelchair, and fell to the ground.
