Chapter 78
When Tang Qingqing knew that Tang Jianguo and Su Rong were coming, she was investigating an arson case in another town's brigade.
Winter is cold, and every household will prepare a lot of firewood in advance to get through the winter. I don’t know which wicked person would burn the firewood stored by others.
This is also a case of serial arson. They just like to burn other people's firewood.
Since it was only firewood, not something valuable, and the rescue was timely and no other houses or people were affected, no one paid much attention to it. They thought it was someone who accidentally dropped a cigarette butt or a child who started the fire while playing. They just thought it was bad luck and did not think of reporting it to the police.
But when it happened again and again, I sensed something was wrong, so I ran to the police station to report it.
The township police station also sent people to investigate, but unfortunately they found nothing.
The families whose firewood was burned had no grudges against anyone and had no connection with each other.
In the middle of winter, a heavy snow covered all traces, so there were no clues to be found.
Not only was he so wicked, but the arsonist even provoked the police by deliberately setting fire during the investigation, burning two places in one day, in villages near the time the police visited to investigate.
The police station was very angry but had no idea what to do, so they invited Tang Qingqing to help investigate the case.
The arsonist was very careful and liked to leave disturbing traces, which fooled the police station and wasted a lot of time.
I guess he had heard about Tang Qingqing's prowess, so ever since Tang Qingqing came, that person has been quiet.
As it had snowed heavily in the past few days, it was not easy for Tang Qingqing to find clues. She searched for clues everywhere in the wind, snow and cold.
"I guess the arsonist must be very young, otherwise he wouldn't be so wicked! Or maybe he is a psychopath, otherwise he wouldn't do such a thing."
Lu Weihong was wrapped in a cotton coat and kept stamping her feet, trying to keep herself warm.
Lu Weihong is a female police officer from the local police station. She took the initiative to apply to go out with Tang Qingqing to investigate the arson case.
She had heard of Tang Qingqing's name a long time ago and had always admired and yearned for her. When she learned that Tang Qingqing was invited to investigate the case, she took the initiative to apply to assist in her work.
Although Lu Weihong is in charge of household registration, he often goes out on field trips with everyone because the office is often short of staff.
Moreover, some people have problems with their household registration, or encounter statistics, etc., so we have to go down and visit them.
She had just started working and was like a brick in the police station, moving wherever there was work.
She took the initiative to apply for field work, and the police station would not reject her just because she is a lesbian. Now the work is getting busier and busier, and both men and women are treated like animals.
Tang Qingqing brought Tao Dazhuang with her. Wang Heizi happened to have a transaction that he needed to do personally, so he sent Tao Dazhuang over to protect her safety.
Tao Dazhuang used his body to block the wind, trying his best to prevent Tang Qingqing from getting too cold.
It's been a cold snap these past two days, the temperature has dropped drastically, it's extremely cold and windy.
There were white snowflakes on Tang Qingqing's eyelashes and her body was covered with snowflakes. She was shivering from the cold, but she was still very focused.
Lu Weihong felt like she was about to be frozen stiff. She wondered more than once whether there was something wrong with her brain as to why she ran out to get frozen. But when she saw how serious Tang Qingqing was, she could no longer utter any complaint.
"If we don't have any clues, let's go inside and warm up so we don't get frozen."
Lu Weihong couldn't help but say that this was the nth time she had proposed it, but Tang Qingqing had refused every time.
Tang Qingqing didn't try to resist. Over the past few years, she had already adapted to searching for clues outdoors in the winter and had taken corresponding measures to keep warm.
Although it is still very cold, it will not cause freezing.
"good."
Lu Weihong was stunned, thinking that he had misheard.
Unexpectedly, Tang Qingqing actually left and went directly to the captain's house.
She drank a cup of tea on the kang, and the coldness in her body dissipated a little. Then she said, "The arsonist has been found. You can take the militia to arrest him later."
Lu Weihong was shocked. The arsonist was found? Who was it?
"It was done by the man who burned the firewood in the first house."
"Ah?! Why is he burning his own firewood when he has nothing to do? Is he going to survive the winter?"
"The firewood was accidentally burned by his family. Maybe he was unhappy and thought that if I bring bad luck to others, I would not be able to have a good time either, so he set fire to the firewood."
The captain's wife slapped her thigh and said, "Don't tell me, Zhang Lao San is really like this! If anyone offends him, he will bite off the other person's flesh."
Lu Weihong was incredulous: "Before, he scolded the arsonist so harshly that he even wanted to dig up the arsonist's ancestors' graves. But he turned out to be the arsonist himself?"
It was precisely because he behaved so violently and cooperated very well with the police's investigation, and because he was also a victim, that no one was suspicious of him.
I didn't expect that some people would be so cruel that they would even curse their own ancestors for eighteen generations. I really don't know what to say.
No one present doubted that Tang Qingqing had made a mistake, and they were all very convinced of her ability.
The arsonist was not well behaved after being caught. He kept swearing all the way, especially at Tang Qingqing. Later, his mouth was simply blocked.
But his eyes were fixed on Tang Qingqing, as if he wanted to skin her alive.
Tao Dazhuang stood between the two of them, blocking the vicious look.
Lu Weihong seldom came into contact with criminals, and he was terrified when he saw the man's appearance.
"This guy is so scary. If he is released in the future, he will probably cause trouble for you."
Tang Qingqing was very familiar with such looks and was no longer afraid of them. She just said:
"It's a good thing I'm not from your area. It won't be easy for him to find me. You should be careful next time."
Lu Weihong nodded repeatedly in agreement. This time she really understood why her parents were so worried about her going out on field trips.
Even if such vicious people are caught and punished, many of them will not think they are wrong and will blame the person who caught them.
If you meet someone with a strong vengeful nature, it is easy to be attacked and retaliated against.
Especially since she is a woman who doesn't seem to have much fighting ability, she is more likely to be targeted.
When Tang Qingqing returned to town, the chief of the local police station saw her and said:
"I was just about to look for you. Someone from the commune called me just now and said that something happened at home and asked you to return home as soon as possible."
When Tang Qingqing heard this, she knew that Tang Jianguo and Su Rong had returned.
She had never dared to imagine the scene after they appeared, and her heart was very uneasy, but miraculously, when they came, Tang Qingqing inexplicably calmed down.
The case had been solved, so Tang Qingqing and Tao Dazhuang took the last bus back to the commune.
As soon as he got off the bus, he saw Wang Heizi and Tang Xingqiang waiting for him at the station.
"Sister!" Tang Xingqiang rushed over with a complicated expression, "Sister, your parents are back."
Wang Heizi: "I can help you contact a car and take you back right now."
Tang Qingqing shook her head: "No hurry, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Wang Heizi and Tang Xingqiang were both observing her expression, trying to guess her mood at the moment.
"Did they arrive today?"
Tang Xingqiang nodded repeatedly: "I met him at the station."
Wang Heizi and Tang Xingqiang were unloading goods at the station when they saw two people looking hurried.
They were obviously in a hurry, not at all as glamorous and worried as I had imagined.
Tang Xingqiang no longer had any impression of Tang Jianguo and Su Rong, but Wang Heizi still remembered them.
Tang Jianguo was the most promising member of their Rongshan Brigade. Every time he came back, Wang Heizi's grandfather would go to greet him personally and talk to him.
The scene could be described as the moon surrounded by stars, and if they told others about it, the whole team would feel proud.
The people who return to their town are basically familiar faces. When they meet two strangers who come from afar, they will pay more attention to them and know their identities after a little inquiry.
The two had guessed that they would come back and had been paying close attention to them, so they were able to see it right away.
Tang Xingqiang did not go up to acknowledge his relatives. Although he usually has a big mouth, he really didn't know how to explain this matter to them.
"Let them go back and sort it out first, then I'll go back."
Tang Qingqing is not that stupid. If she goes back now, wouldn't that involve her as well?
If the case hadn't been solved, she wouldn't have been in a hurry to come back.
Tang Xingqiang glanced at her: "Sister, aren't you in a hurry to recognize them?"
Tang Qingqing's attitude was too calm. Those were her biological parents. They had been separated for such a long time before they met each other. Shouldn't she be very excited?
Tang Xingqiang knew a girl who was abandoned by her parents when she was young. She was about the same age as Tang Qingqing. When her biological parents came to find her, she was very excited.
Whether it is resentment or love, it is not necessary to be so calm.
In particular, Tang Qingqing was not abandoned because she was disliked, but was deliberately replaced.
Tang Jianguo and Su Rong still have such good conditions, but Tang Qingqing seems to be very disapproving.
"Anyway, they're already here and they won't leave right away. There's no need to rush."
Tang Xingqiang and Wang Heizi looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Wang Heizi: "Let's go have a big meal today. Today's work has been going pretty smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, we can make a lot of money this time."
"Okay, okay, I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had a good meal. I'm starving!"
The two of them took Tang Qingqing to a newly opened small restaurant in the commune. Although the restaurant was not big, the food tasted very good.
It is said that the restaurant owner used to work in a state-owned hotel as a handyman. He actually has some skills, but he was not given a turn based on seniority, and there was no backstage, so he was always a temporary handyman.
Now that it is open, he simply opened his own shop and business has been good.
Everyone here was eating their fill and enjoying the meal, but at the Tang family, the atmosphere was not so good.
唐建國和蘇蓉親耳聽到大隊長所說的一切，以及看到那張證明，蘇蓉當場就癱軟在地上，心底最後那點僥幸都消散了。
“他們怎麽可以這樣！我們哪裏對不起他們！他們這麽！”
蘇蓉直接哭了出來，自己辛辛苦苦懷胎十月生下的孩子，竟然被偷偷換成別人的孩子。
他們給她吃好的喝好的，為她的前程鋪路，結果竟然不是自己的孩子！
如果是陌生人，她還能稍微理解一些，可偏偏這麽做的是他們的親人！
大隊長：“如果孩子是他們唐建軍和趙大花偷偷換的，那麽我可以陪你們一塊去報案。”
蘇蓉咬牙切齒：“報案，必須報案！”
“不能報案！不能報案啊！”吳老太嚷道，她哭着抓着唐建國的衣服：“建國，建軍是你弟弟啊，你不能這麽狠心啊！”
唐建國深吸一口氣，只覺得胸口要炸開。
“媽，你們，你們怎麽可以幹出這樣的事！我唐建國哪裏對不起你們？！我過繼出去了，照樣想着家裏，自己有一塊，都要分一半回家，可你們看看，你們都幹了什麽！”
唐建國一個大男人，曾經遇到多少事都沒有掉過眼淚，甚至為了搶修還曾斷過腿，他也當沒事人一樣堅持工作好幾個小時，差點連腿都保不住了，他也沒吭過一聲，可今天卻紅了眼眶。
唐建軍冷哼：“當初要不是你使手段，就是我被過繼出去，你現在的位置就是我來做！別說你的小女兒，你三個兒子都是鄉下養的！這是你欠我的！”
趙大花也不甘示弱：“你們好意思說我們，當初明明是你們自己認錯孩子，能怪我們嗎？你們覺得唐珍珍那樣的聰明孩子，才是你們的孩子，根本沒想過其他可能，我們不想讓你們難過，有錯嗎！”
蘇蓉氣笑了：“要不是你故意虐待我們的孩子，我們會認錯嗎。”
趙大花嗤笑：“哦，你孩子穿得髒點就覺得不是自己的孩子了？真是笑死個人了。再說了，你們敢說當初認錯，不是因為覺得唐珍珍才是你們想要的孩子，唐青青那樣愣頭愣腦的，不符合你們的期待，所以壓根沒想過你們能生出那樣的孩子。
只怕你們早就知道真相，但是你們想要的是漂亮可愛還聰明的女兒，而不是又髒又笨身體還不行的孩子，故意抱錯的呢！”
蘇蓉被氣得臉色漲紅：“你，你們胡說八道！你們做錯事不僅不道歉，竟然還倒打一耙！”
一直沒有離開的唐鳳芝連忙打圓場：“都是一家人，有什麽話不能好好說。事情已經這樣了，現在互相指責也沒用了，還是想着怎麽解決吧，難道真想為了這點事老死不相往來啊。”
大隊長看一家子要掰扯，直接找個借口離開了。
清官難斷家務事，尤其是這種事，他更是沒法摻和。
大隊長走出院子，背着手搖了搖頭，心裏感嘆還好唐青青沒有在家，否則光聽那麽些話得多傷心。
也慶幸她自己走出了一條路，靠自己的能力變得非常出衆，不用擔心被親生父母嫌棄，要不然……
大隊長将湊過來看熱鬧的人都趕走，不想一些閑言碎語進入唐青青的耳朵裏。
他也不急着回家，而是上山去找老劉頭。
如今看來，只有老劉頭才是唐青青的親人，是真心為她着想的。
唐青青第二天回來的時候，才走到村口，就有人圍了上來。
“青青，你親爸媽都回來了，你可以離開這裏去過好日子了，以後就不用那麽辛苦了。”
“哎呀，青青，你以後可就飛上枝頭變鳳凰啦！”
“你這啥形容啊，青青本來就是鳳凰！”
唐青青朝着大嬸們禮貌地笑笑，對此并沒有發表什麽意見。
桂花嬸也湊了過來，道：“青青，昨天你們家鬧得可兇，一直到後半夜才消停。不過今天看好像是談妥了，你親爹媽并不打算去報案。”
她将唐青青拉到一邊，小聲嘀咕道：
“聽說不報案的代價是唐珍珍繼續留在那邊，當你親爹媽的女兒。以後唐珍珍也不需要回來認親，不用給你現在爹媽養老，他們沒有資格管唐珍珍的事。”
唐青青抿了抿唇，沒吭聲。
唐興強在一旁聽到這話，很是惱怒：
“那我姐呢？他們也不認嗎？”
“認，當然是要認的，我沒說不認啊。”
“那哪能這麽辦事的，我姐怎麽跟那個女的在一個屋檐下生活？天天看到把自己人生都給搶了的糟心玩意被自己親爹媽疼愛，這不得氣死了啊！”
桂花嬸：“那個珍珍是你親姐……”
“我只有一個親姐，就是唐青青！哼，當我那時候小不記得，當年她回來，根本沒把我們家放在眼裏，還可瞧不起我們，踩着小皮鞋踩哪裏都覺得髒！”
唐興強當時小，卻不意味着他不懂事。
他當時就明顯感受到唐珍珍對一切的鄙夷，對他們的不屑，很是瞧不起人。
桂花嬸嘆了一口氣，“青青，我告訴你這些，是讓你有個準備，不會因為這些事鬧脾氣犯錯誤。你現在年紀也不小了，也該知道好歹。有這樣的爹媽，你以後日子才更好過。”
“我姐沒有這樣的爸媽，也可以把日子過好！她可厲害了！”
桂花嬸很是不贊同地搖頭：“話可不能這麽說，他們在市裏，又是大廠的廠長，起點就不一樣。你不是想繼續上學嗎，你現在雖然有能耐自己出錢讀書，可你看着吧，你留在這想要安安穩穩地讀高中可不容易。
可是你要跟親爹媽到大城市讀高中，那就不一樣了，老師不得比咱們這山溝溝好得多。而且我聽說外頭高中可比咱們高中好多了，咱們公社高中，都沒有幾個人能考上大學的。”
桂花嬸有孩子也在讀書，小叔子還是個知青，所以比較關注這些，她又是個好打聽的，也就比較懂這些。
這幾年高考，外頭來的知青考大學，考上的人數跟本地學生差不多。
知青才幾個人啊，結果考上的人數竟然都能差不多，可想而知他們的教學質量有多差了。
唐興強頓時不說話了，因為這事關唐青青的前途。
雖然他覺得，老師也沒啥用，他上課沒聽課不也一樣考第一嗎，不過他并沒有吭聲。
桂花嬸又繼續道：“即便不管這些，難道就白白讓人占便宜，讓個假的成了真，以後心安理得享受你親爹媽帶來的一切好處，你是真女兒卻要在山溝溝裏受苦，一步步靠自己爬？！想想不覺得憋屈嗎！”
唐興強原本心底還很不屑，覺得這個親沒啥好認的，可一聽這話，頓時改變了主意。
“沒錯，不能讓那女人白白占了便宜！”
唐青青一直沒有說話，桂花嬸也沒有生氣。
畢竟遇上這麽大的事，誰也得懵。
“總之啊，聽嬸子的，別犟，哪裏有好處就去哪裏。不管咋說，他們都是你親生父母，還虧欠了你，肯定也會寵着你的，那點小委屈不算啥。
你也別老想着唐珍珍的事，畢竟養了這麽大也有感情了，你親爹媽舍不得也是人之常情，不代表就不重視你。”
唐青青走進屋子，所有人的目光都投到了她的身上。
蘇蓉直接從炕上站了起來，打量着眼前這個和記憶中的形象完全不匹配的女兒。
“青青……珍珍……”
一時之間，蘇蓉不知道該叫什麽才好。
心中不禁惱怒，唐建軍和趙大花還好意思說自己無辜，如果不是早有陰謀，怎麽會連孩子的名字都刻意混成一團。
唐建國也看着唐青青，沒有想到這個一直養在鄉下的女兒出落得這麽靈秀漂亮，竟是不比他們一直寵在手心裏的女兒差。
心裏也稍稍安慰，看來她在鄉下的日子過得也不是那麽差。
唐鳳芝看唐青青杵在那不動，直接道：“青青，這是你爸媽，怎麽不叫人啊。”
唐青青抿了抿唇，沒有吭聲。
唐建國和蘇蓉也很是無措，不知道該怎麽面對這個已經長這麽大的女兒。
明明是最親近的關系，卻感到非常的陌生。
雙方都很尴尬，屋子裏的氣氛也凝固了下來。
唐鳳芝：“你那天不是氣性可大了嗎，怎麽，你爸媽來了，又不吭聲了？”
唐青青依然沒說話，大伯母連忙出聲打圓場。
“這麽多年沒見，事情又這麽突然，得讓孩子适應适應。”
唐鳳芝冷哼：“不是能耐得很，自己都查清楚了，現在又在這裝模作樣了。”
蘇蓉聽這話不大高興，“要不是有人作惡，又怎麽會這樣生分！”
唐鳳芝這才閉了嘴，臉色不大好看。
吳老太：“你也別說得這麽難聽，當年的事也是個烏龍，現在大家不都好好的嘛。”
哪裏好好的！
蘇蓉心中氣惱不已，這麽大的事，在這些人嘴裏就這麽輕輕帶過，好像不是什麽不得了的事。
要是當初沒有這件事，自己的親生女兒也不會對自己如此生分。
唐建國語氣帶着小心，眼神真誠：
你“青青，我們是你的親爸媽，我們也是才知道這件事，這些年你受苦了。你放心，爸媽以後會對你好的，不會讓你再受一點委屈。”
蘇蓉也壓下心中的憤恨，事情已經這樣了，只能盡力彌補。
“青青，跟我們回家吧，好不好？你三個哥哥都在家裏等着你呢。他們知道多了一個妹妹，肯定會很高興。”
唐青青掃了一眼在場的人，又望向蘇蓉和唐建國。
“如果我跟你們回家，會尊重我的選擇，不會對我的學業指手畫腳，不會把我嫁給我不喜歡的人。”
唐建國和蘇蓉都愣住了，這跟他們幻想中的認親場景完全不同。
即便不痛哭流涕，也得是互訴苦楚吧。
可唐青青表情平淡得好像在說別人的事，對親情沒有什麽期望，更多還是在意自己的權益。
蘇蓉心口發疼，要不是被隔開，自己女兒肯定不會這麽跟自己說話。
唐青青看到他們一臉複雜的表情，解釋道：“那天我們會鬧起來，就是因為我想讀書，他們不讓，我不想嫁人，他們非要逼我。”
唐建國深深嘆了一口氣，“我們都答應你，不會勉強你做任何事。”
蘇蓉：“我們是你的親生父母，又怎麽會害你呢，寵你都來不及。”
“我下學期就要中考了，不出意外我可以考上公社高中。如果我跟你們走，我可以繼續讀高中，考大學嗎？”
唐建國和蘇蓉對視一眼，昨天兩人一回來就一直在為當年的事争吵，後來雖然談妥了，卻也沒有時間說唐青青的事。
他們坐了兩天的火車，昨天晚上又睡得晚，今天也起晚了，所以也沒有打聽到太多關于唐青青的消息。
吳老太和唐建國夫妻一直說他們沒有虧待唐青青，現在小丫頭可有自己主意了。
唐建國和蘇蓉從吳老太他們嘴裏知道唐青青現在正在讀初三，現在跑公社去了，所以沒有在家。
唐建國很清楚公社的教育水平怎麽樣，因此并不抱希望。
蘇蓉更是如此，唐青青現在都快十八歲了，才剛上初三，換做別人早一點的都上大學了，晚一點的也上了高中了。
這麽大年紀還在初三，只怕成績也不怎麽樣，沒想到她這麽有自信能考上高中和大學。
不過唐青青這麽想要讀書，才剛認親，唐建國也不會不答應。
“只要你想繼續讀書，當然可以。”
唐青青的目光投到蘇蓉身上，蘇蓉也連忙道：“你想要上學，這是好事，我們當然會支持。”
這跟書上所說的不同，大約是情況不一樣，要求也不一樣吧。
“你們是真的想接我回去嗎？其實我現在也挺好的。”唐青青一臉認真道。
這話一落，唐建軍和蘇蓉的表情都變了。
“我們是你爸媽，當然想要把你帶回家！一家團圓，比什麽都重要！”
“你這話是在割我們的心啊！”
唐青青無奈，不明白這有什麽可着急生氣的。
他們雖然有最親近的血緣關系，卻因為長時間沒有在一起相處，對彼此都非常地陌生。
一旦她回去，會發生很多改變，也會帶來很多麻煩，她只是理性地詢問一句罷了。
若是不太方便，坦白也沒關系，總比勉強着相處，以後成仇人的好。
唐青青意識到自己似乎平靜到可怕，跟自己幻想中的可能性完全不同。
她以為獲得一直沒有的父愛母愛會非常感動，可事實上，她好像沒有自己以為的那麽在意。
明明以前她特別期待被父母親近，希望父母像對待弟弟們一樣對待她。
哪怕感受到父母的偏心，卻也還想着要靠近，不停地努力讓自己變得讨喜。
但是這個美夢破碎之後，她似乎也就不再期待，哪怕現在親生父母到來，好像也無法找到小時候的那份純真了。
大約她并不是一無所有，确實的親情她已經在老劉頭那裏找到，所以才不會感到遺憾，才能理智面對吧。
晚上，唐建國和蘇蓉在床上在談論唐青青。
蘇蓉：“你今天感受到了嗎，青青跟普通的孩子不一樣。她太冷靜了，一點不像這個年紀的女孩子。”
唐建國嘆氣：“我今天去外頭打聽了一下，建軍他們對她并不好，她自己在外頭認了個師父，成長經歷跟普通人不同。”
“既然是這樣，看到我們應該更激動才對啊。”
“她可能不知道怎麽表達吧，而且估計她還記得小時候的事。”
蘇蓉頓時不吭聲了，當年他們确實沒認出來她，一眼就覺得唐珍珍才是自己的孩子，跟她一直都不親近。
大約父母和孩子也是講究緣分的，她明明看三個兒子的時候，都有一種莫名磁場，不管多少人一眼就能在人群中認出來。
“當初我剛生下她，整個人的心理狀态很不好，我自己都快不認識我自己了，對她也不像對其他孩子一樣有耐心，有時候想抱着她一起去死，覺得她是個累贅。大概是這樣的負面情緒一直沒有徹底消散，所以影響了我的判斷。”
唐建國嘆氣，當年他看到蘇蓉的時候，吓了一跳，都快認不出自己的妻子了。
蘇蓉是個很要強的人，在人前永遠都會注意保持自己形象。雖然不會打扮得花枝招展，但是會把自己和孩子們收拾得很整潔利落。
可那時候的她，整個人一團糟。
頭發像雞窩一樣，臉仿佛很多天沒有洗，衣服都跟剛撈出來的酸菜一樣。
而且她瘦得頭脫形了，眼睛凹進去，看起來比實際年紀老了十幾歲，特別地憔悴。
三個孩子也不像以前幹幹淨淨的，全都是亂糟糟的，十分狼狽。
她的精神狀态也很不好，整晚整晚地失眠，頭發一把一把地掉。
養了好一陣，她才逐漸恢複元氣的。
“這不能怪你，生下青青，對你的耗損太大了。正好我又不在家，我媽那個人……哎，一切都是你扛着。”
“現在咱們該怎麽辦？她已經那麽大了，還能把她的心焐熱嗎。”
“慢慢來吧，等她回去，我們再一點點彌補她。她不是對她的那個師父很孝順嗎？看來也是個知恩圖報的孩子。”
蘇蓉也只能這麽想了，現在先把唐青青給接回去，慢慢培養感情。
唐青青現在十七歲，年紀說大也不大，未來還有很多年呢。
“今天聽她的意思，她還要在這邊中考之後才離開。”
“我明天會跟她說，讓她直接去市裏讀吧。到時候給她找個家教補習，就不怕她跟不上了。”
機械廠子弟學校是從幼兒園一直到高中，機械廠高中是陽市有名的高中，現在恢複高考後，升學率一直非常的高。
這兩天有不少非本廠職工的孩子，都想要把孩子送到機械廠高中就讀，就是看中了他們的教學資源。
“可初中能糊弄，高中怎麽辦？要是基礎太差，高中只怕會一塌糊塗。”
“她想上也得讓她上，她就這麽個要求，不好不答應。”
蘇蓉嘆氣：“她長得挺好的，不行送文工團也行。”
“別，她想上學就讓她上，咱們缺失了這麽多年，關系很生分，這麽做會把孩子推更遠了。”
“我們也都是為她好！明明是親生女兒，怎麽跟後爸後媽似的得先順着。”
唐青青晚上是在老劉頭那邊住下的，老劉頭也跟她聊起認親生父母的事。
“丫頭，去吧。不管怎麽說他們也是你的親生父母，得試着去相處相處。”
“要是實在沒法相處呢？”
“那就是你們之間沒有緣分，也就不用強求，有面子情就行。可在這之前，還是得先去試試。這人啊有親爹親媽疼着，就是不一樣的。”
“師父，我有你就夠了！”
老劉頭笑了起來：“瞎說。”
“真的！”
“可我想看到有更多人喜歡你，愛着你。他們現在表現得确實不怎麽好，可每個父母都不是完美的，包括我自己。可相對的，子女也不是完美的。
父母不能因為子女不完美，就不認他們，子女也不該因為父母不是完美的，就不認他們。感情是處出來的，不試過怎麽知道投不投緣。”
唐青青點點頭：“師父，我知道了。”
“這就對了，不管怎麽說，你的親生爹媽也比你現在的養父母好多了。至少他們有身份有地位，他們為了保住就會要臉，也就不容易幹混賬事，因為代價太大了。
他們真敢怎麽着你，你只要比他們更橫，敢拉下臉，他們就得認慫。可你現在這爹媽不一樣，小事還縱着你，可真遇到足夠的誘惑時，把你綁住賣了，他們眼睛都不會眨一下。你回來把他們罵成花了，也屁用沒有。”
“可是，師父，我舍不得你。”
老劉頭眼眶泛紅，頭扭過一邊，好一會才轉回來。
"Master is fine, don't worry about him. I'll tell Tao Dazhuang that I can stay at his place first."
Tang Qingqing's eyes lit up: "Master!"
Old Liu waved his hands and said, "I am only living there temporarily. I am still waiting for you to give me a big house and take care of me in my old age."
Tang Qingqing was very happy. She didn't expect that Old Liu was willing to leave!
"Master! I will definitely pick you up as soon as possible. I will also take you to the capital to see the Great Wall and watch the national flag being raised!"
"Okay, okay, I'll wait. Just study with peace of mind, and your master is waiting to enjoy happiness with you. If you are bullied outside, don't be afraid, your master is here, and he will never forgive him! Don't look at your master's age, you master is still capable!" said Old Liu, waving his fist.
Tang Qingqing nodded vigorously and took Old Liu's arm affectionately.
She felt that her thin master at this moment was particularly tall and majestic.
Old Liu patted her hands and said, "If you are unhappy outside, don't force yourself. Come back. Master is waiting for you here. Don't be afraid, kid. Go bravely! Master will protect you!"
