, and now my family lives in Daying Town, Huankou after being renamed Liu. Twenty years ago, my husband and I opened a repair shop at the end of the bridge in the east of my village. It was cold, so I surrounded a wall with corn stalks on the north side to block the wind.


In a winter more than 20 years ago, it was very cold and there were not many car repairs. Just after dinner, my husband was too cold to watch TV. NS.

I was closing the door, and then a man in his forties came. He was carrying a bag and holding a large white transparent plastic bag in his hand. There was an old-fashioned tea mug in it. Filled with pork stewed green radish slices, the fat flesh is crystal white.


He walked straight to me and said, "Sister, give me a bowl of cold water." Drink cold water on such a cold day and talk nonsense. I guess he wanted to drink hot water, but felt that strangers couldn't speak. I poured him a bowl of boiled water, he blew it, and drank it all in one breath.


Then he told me that his family is in Shangqiu, Henan, and he has been out of home for seven or eight days. He is looking for his 12-year-old son. He has three sons. This is missing.It was his third son, and then he drew a circle and said, "Sister, can I sleep in your corn stalks all night?" Surprisingly, a night of sleep on this side of the road will definitely freeze to death.


Hey, it’s not easy to go out. I felt compassionate. It just so happened that my in-laws didn’t live in my house these days, so I said to him, "Why don’t I take you to my house for a night? ", he said gratefully: "That's great, it's just a problem for my younger sister!"

It's so cold innocent, there is a quilt from father-in-law and mother-in-law on the bed, and I took out another one from the closet. Give him a thick quilt, and then give him the key.

I went back to the repair shop and told my husband about this. My husband said that it’s a good thing to be at home for thousands of days, but it’s hard to go out. If you can help me, just help.

The next day, when I just made breakfast, the Shangqiu man came from my house. He gave me the keys and said a lot of good things to my husband and me. We asked him to have breakfast with us. The man asked me to help him heat up the pork stewed radish slices in his tea tank. He said that this was requested yesterday at the huankou family. , I didn’t eat it, so I put it in a tea mug, which was a pity.


After eating, he was in front of my repair shop and chatted with other car repairers.I can't see the anxiety and sadness of losing my son at all. It was more than ten o'clock at noon, and he said, "I'm going to go, so blindly looking for my son, there is no result, just go home and forget it."


Before I left, my husband gave him 20 yuan. He thanked him repeatedly and said that the money was more than enough to get home.

After so many years, I wonder if the son of the eldest brother Shangqiu has been found. It is estimated that his son is now in his 30s.


Digression: At that time, my neighbor saw it and told me that it looked like a bad guy with a big face. Be careful so as not to get burnt. Don't let us give him money, my husband said, if the money is not too much, it is 20 yuan, so let's smoke a few packs of cigarettes!
