The sky was full of sunset clouds, and the cicadas were still screaming with all their might.
The cars on the road gradually became lively. In the square not far away, aunties began to gather in twos and threes. The rare three days of peace and quiet were about to end.
Square dancing immediately began.
" You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky-"
Wang Chen stretched out his hand and bent down to wash the oil stains. He couldn't help but turn his head to look back and frown.
The hard yellow soap was applied over and over again, and the black stains flowed down wantonly from the tap. Not long after, a pair of slender hands finally became much whiter.
Wang Chen had been working here for ten years today. He had witnessed the glorious process of the auto repair shop growing from the initial workshop to the current Volkswagen brand.
From a small apprentice who started doing odd jobs to a master who was now independent, from the original food and accommodation to the current monthly salary of 6000 yuan, only he could understand the countless days of scorching sun, cold wind, and cold snow.
"Little Chen, let's go for a drink tonight? It's a treat in the shop."
The middle-aged man with a thick face climbed out of the car and waved the wrench in his hand.
Wang Chen turned his head and smiled bitterly."Master Gao, I can't go tonight. I have something else to do.”
"What's more important than this? Are you going to play the Demigods and Dragons again?" The middle-aged man skillfully turned the wrench in his hand, and his voice was slightly complaining." Sigh, then I won't go either!”
Old Gao was one of the shareholders of this auto repair factory. He did everything himself, and he treated his subordinates even better. He was kind and tolerant. From the day he took him in until now, this was the best proof.
"Chen, bring me a few hexagonal screws!”
He turned the faucet on and waved his hands naturally. He turned around and walked into the room on the far right of the door.
Carrying his bag, he walked out of the door again and handed the nut to Old Gao.
"After these few screws are done, it's done. Chen, are you really not going?" Gao Zhendong turned his head and picked up the two nuts from Wang Chen's palm with his sharp hands. His eyes were gloomy.
"Yes."
" Understood!" Wang Chen replied softly. He took off his dirty overalls and hurried to the side of the road.
There were more and more cars on the road, and the honking finally became louder. It was very noisy.
Wang Chen stopped the bus to his hometown, took out a five-yuan bill from his pocket, and handed it to the conductor.
He sat by the window and turned his head.
The 2019 college entrance examination ended. The entrance of Gaoyang High School across the road was even more crowded with people shouting loudly.
The scene from ten years ago surged in his mind again.
On the afternoon of June 8th.
"Da Chen, here!" His mother, Liu Xiu, squeezed outside the gate and shouted loudly.
"Brother, we're here!" Wang Yao waved her arms and called out in a delicate voice.
"Yaoyao! Why are you here?"
"Mom!"
This was Wang Chen's final cry that was engraved in his heart.
The crowd scattered in panic. Wang Chen rushed over. The siblings lay beside Liu Xiu and shook him, but it was all in vain.
When he was six years old, his father contracted a small intestine disease and had no money to treat it. In the end, when he was nine years old, he became seriously ill and unfortunately passed away.
The burden of ten years had also crushed Liu Xiu's shoulders. She had worked hard day and night, and finally collapsed on the day the college entrance examination ended.
The scene changed to a white ICU.
Wang Chen remembered the calm expression of the doctor in the white coat for the rest of his life."”
He sold everything in the house, and with the 30,000 yuan that the Wang Family Village and his relatives had gathered, and the 70,000 yuan that his friends from the Eight Dragons had given him, he had a total of 100,000 yuan. In the end, he still couldn't save her.
On the day of the funeral, the younger sister dropped out of school to help her relatives farm.
He made up his mind and came to this auto repair shop to work to pay off his debts.
It had been two years. When he finally returned to the village, Wang Chen saw his sister. With two years of meager income and the generosity of her friends from the Eight Dragons, she had paid off her long debt one by one.
He thought that just like this, his days would slowly get better.
However, God always liked to joke. Half a month after the days calmed down, the malnourished sister suffered from malignant tumors again!
Helpless, he could only watch as the lives of his loved ones slowly passed away!
"We've arrived at the king's shop! Young man!" The ticket seller shouted.
Wang Chen came back to his senses, his face full of tears.
Looking at the strange gazes of the crowd around him, he picked up his bag and squeezed out of the car.
He ran in the direction of the Wang Family Village.
The cement road was burning hot, and people in twos and threes were cleaning up the grain on the road. The fireworks in the house next to them were rising, and a few children were playing marbles by the cement road. It was a peaceful scene.
Ten minutes later, he ran to the junction of the cement road.
On the left was the road home, and the house was solemn. On the right was an endless stretch of farmland.
"Mom! Sister!"
Wang Chen resolutely ran to the right, but his tears were still dazzling!
The night sky was mixed with the last trace of clarity. The sunset had already lost its luster and was covered in darkness.
The branches and weeds cut his arm, but he felt no pain.
Wang Chen's entire body had been crawling for a long time, and his skin had become much thicker.
And in his heart, he was no longer the young boy who had left his hometown. He was 29 years old, but he felt like he was 40 years old. He had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Wang Chen slowly slowed down.
Looking at the three tombs in front of him, two large and one small, his body couldn't help but tremble. With a plop, he knelt down.
"Mom, I'm here!"
The moment he knelt down, Wang Chen's vision went black and he lost consciousness.
The last ray of light from the setting sun in the west was gone.
A flock of frightened birds jumped up from a few thick trees nearby.
In front of these three graves, the young man who had just knelt down was nowhere to be seen.
