It’s not so much that I was protecting him, but we needed each other on that night.
At 2:30 in the morning, the car stopped at Xiangxiang Station and . The driver said he would take a break and set off at 5 o'clock. So I got out of the car. As I walked, I suddenly heard someone calling me behind me, wait for me. I looked back and saw a boy who looked like a junior high school student, looking at me anxiously.
I recognized him at a glance as the boy who came from Yiwu and sat in the front row of me. I asked, are you calling me? He said yes. Although I don't know why he asked me to wait for him, I still stayed. He quickly followed.
came to the restaurant and said he was a little hungry and wanted to have a meal. After saying that, I ordered two meals without saying anything, and then served a lot of dishes. Then I handed one of them to me and said, "Uncle, this is yours, take it quickly, let's eat there."
I was a little hungry, but when I saw this dirty restaurant, I smelled the dirty air, and my appetite was scared away. But he had paid, so I had to hold the meal and let him find a slightly cleaner table to sit down.
I paid him money. He said he would not ask for anything. I was curious and asked him why he bought food for a stranger. He said, "I am a stranger to you, but you are not to me. The first time I took a car so far back to Bijie , this car is weird, like a black car, I was always afraid of it, and I was even more afraid after dark. Later, it was your movement that made me brave." The boy stopped and continued, "When a woman passed by you, the car suddenly shook, and the woman almost fell down. You held her. Seeing you stretching out your hand, I knew you were a good person. Also, you are gentle and wearing glasses. My father said that people wearing glasses are generally good people. To prove this, I deliberately said that you turned on your phone too brightly. It affects my sleep, and you need to lower the brightness. You immediately change it and apologize to me all the time, so I am even more sure that you are a good person. I think if I meet a bad person, you will not stand by. Thinking about it, I will feel at ease. My father opened a factory in Yiwu and is not short of money, so uncle, don’t fight for these few dollars with me. Of course, I know you are not short of money either, but this is my intention."
A subconscious action, a pair of ordinary glasses, actually brought a great sense of security to a boy who was not well-versed in the world when he completed a journey alone and timidly. This was unexpected. I felt very grateful for the spiritual rewards given to me by the boy, and I felt very tall in an instant.
That night, two and a half hours before returning to the car, the boy followed me and occasionally asked me to leave, "Wait for me here, uncle. Don't leave, don't leave in one step!"
The boy was very talkative. I asked me many things, and I answered him truthfully. When he knew that I was a teacher, he couldn't help but say, "Teacher, no wonder it makes people feel warm and safe at first sight. Your students must like you very much. They are so lucky to be your students!"
said something that made me feel a little ashamed. Although I love my students, any student who has difficulties in life, will do my best if I need my help, I still feel that it is not enough in teaching.
When talking about himself, the boy's expression gradually became sad, and then he suddenly leaned against the backrest in the front row and started crying. While crying, he said that he was too worried about studying. After finishing elementary school in Bijie, he went to Yiwu to study junior high school. In the second year of junior high school, he became an Internet-addicted boy. He skipped to learn to play online games in an underground Internet cafe every day, and could not extricate himself.
One day he skipped school again. After the teacher reacted to his home, his mother found him in an Internet cafe and wanted to send him to school. But as soon as he left the Internet cafe gate, he broke free from his mother's restraint and ran to the road where the cars were coming and going. The mother also chased him. At an intersection, both mother and son ran a red light. A truck driving oncoming to knocked her down and then ran over her legs. My mother's legs suddenly turned into a pile of minced meat, and the creepy blood flowed all over the ground. After that, my mother could no longer stand up.
The boy burst into tears.The thin shoulders kept shaking on the backrest.
"It was me who harmed my mother! It was me who harmed my mother! I am my mother's sinner! It was a sinner in the family! Even if I cut myself into pieces, I can't atone for my sins." The boy thumped himself in the face in front of everyone.
The seat next to the boy was empty, I stood up and sat next to him, grabbed his hands, pulled him into my arms, and hugged him. I could feel his deep self-blame.
After his emotions calmed down a little, he told me that he was over in his life and was too guilty and he could never forgive himself. Although this time I went back to Bijie, I was nominally in high school, only he knew that it didn’t matter whether he was studying or not, and regret would accompany him throughout his life.
stared at his childish face, completely covered with disproportionate vicissitudes, and I felt indescribable pain in my heart.
I patted his shoulder and told him that everyone inevitably made mistakes in their lives, but the mistakes he made were a little more expensive. But since the mistake has happened, no matter how much you regret it, it will be useless. All you can do now is to study hard and show your loved ones with the best self in the future, especially your mother. When your mother sees you stand out, she will also feel extremely relieved. Maybe you will forgive yourself when you see your mother showing a gratitude because of your outstanding achievements.
The boy turned his head and looked at me, "But uncle, I have such a poor study, can I still have a future?"
I said, "As long as I work hard, you will definitely be able to do a good job in my studies. From our conversation, I know you are a smart child. Believe me, I am a teacher, and you can't be wrong with looking at people."
The boy said, "Uncle, are you telling the truth?"
I said of course yes.
The boy said, "Thank you uncle. I will work hard as my uncle said. In the future, I will be a good person like my uncle. Even if I am a stranger, I will bring warmth and safety to the other party." After dawn, the boy got off the car and took me away and stuffed me the remaining apples. I couldn't refuse
I didn't bring anything to eat, so I gave him a book I bought at a bookstore in Wenzhou a few days ago - Maijia " Life Sea " to him. I hope he will wait until he grows up and read this book well. Then maybe he will truly understand that life can be done again if he is wrong.
The boy's car is gradually moving away. I know that it will be difficult for the boy and I to meet again in the future, so I can't help but bless him silently, wishing him to reconcile with his past self in the future and achieve ultimate happiness!
And I was needed by a boy that night, which made me see more the meaning of my existence as a human being. So, rather than saying that night I was protecting that boy, it would be better to say that night, we needed each other!
