So the little dumpling, who was angry just now, smiled happily again and continued to watch the movie happily.
Zhang You stared blankly at his mother's profile, still thinking about what she had just said.
So, this is what my name means...
Zhang You wanted to laugh, but the smile that came out of the corners of his mouth was uglier than crying.
But I failed to live up to your expectations. I didn't live a free life. Every day without you, every minute, every second, I miss you...
I want to be with you...
I don’t want to be alone…
Don't leave me alone...
Zhang You raised her hand and lightly touched their faces. She suppressed the bitterness that welled up in her heart and just stood quietly guarding them without any other movements.
Zhang You only hopes that this simple and pure time will go slower, slower...
After watching a movie, little Zhang You was so tired that he fell asleep. On the way back, little Tuanzi slept all the way in his father's arms.
The cinema was very close to their home. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground when they came, and the snow was much thicker when they went back. The rhythmic and crunchy sound of their footsteps was a warmth that belonged only to their family of three.
Small snowflakes drifted through the air, gently falling on their shoulders and hair. Zhang You stood behind them, mesmerized. The fine snow whitened their hair, and Zhang You inexplicably recalled the poem, "If we can be showered in the snow together one day, we can grow old together in this life."
This is probably what they will look like when they grow old together.
Zhang You's heart was exceptionally calm at this moment. The short journey home felt long to her, long enough to be engraved in her heart.
There are unexpected changes in the weather, and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time.
But among all natural disasters and man-made disasters, which one is not a tragedy?
The summer is so hot that few people go outdoors, and it is so hot that people ignore the hidden dangers.
When the earthquake suddenly struck, little Zhang You was sitting in her bedroom with her mother, talking about her day in kindergarten like a little adult, and her father was preparing dinner in the kitchen. No one noticed the sudden disaster.
Experiencing this scene again, Zhang You's heart was still beating wildly. She could almost hear the screams coming from the entire building at that time, and she could almost feel the building shaking violently, making it unstable...
Zhang You yelled and tried to pull her parents away, but she could only watch her hands pierce through their bodies. She could only helplessly watch as her father rushed out of the kitchen and rushed to her mother and her. When he hid, he even did not forget to take the frightened stuffed doll in the cat's bed with him. He took them to hide in the small bathroom.
Their apartment building was on the sixth floor, and the earthquake came too quickly. It was really difficult for them to run down the sixth floor in just a few seconds. Their father could only take them to hide in the bathroom.
After Zhang You grew up, she could only vaguely recall fragments of that day. What she remembered most vividly was the sound of her parents coaxing her gently. They kept calling her name, telling her not to give up, to wait for the police to rescue them, and to stay strong and live on.
But when she experienced this disaster again as a bystander, she realized how much her parents had shouldered at that time.
The earthquake came so fast that the debris in the house shook and fell to the ground. Even the heavy sofa and bed were shifted. In just a few seconds, a high-rise building collapsed.
The tall building collapsed with a loud bang, raising a hundred-meter-high cloud of dust, and the three members of the family were knocked unconscious by the huge impact force.
Zhang You's vision was blocked by the dust. She stretched out her hands in vain to grab them, but it was just air.
After the earthquake, everything was in ruins. The three of them were buried under the wall. It was pitch black all around with only a faint light.
Through the thin glimmer of light, Zhang You could clearly see the plight his parents were in. The grayish-gray wall pressed down on his father's back, the steel bars within piercing his arm, and blood mixed with dust flowed all over the floor.
But her mother and she were curled up in her father's arms and unconscious.
Zhang You suddenly burst into tears.
She knew she couldn't reach them, but she still reached out and touched her father's injured arm. She wanted to bandage him and she wanted to save them.
"dad……"
He just looked at his wife and daughter tenderly, his eyes full of affection.
He knew he was going to die, but he didn't want his wife and daughter to die here like him. He struggled to pull out his uninjured arm and fumbled for his cell phone to see if there was any signal.
Zhang You could see clearly that there was no signal on his cell phone, but he still dialed for help over and over again. He was unwilling to give up even if there was only a glimmer of hope.
When his mother woke up, he was already pale from blood loss. By the light of her phone, she could clearly see his injuries, and tears immediately flowed. She wanted to hug him, but the cramped space prevented her from moving at all. She could only mutter incoherently, "Why are you so stupid... Does it hurt?... I'll go get some medicine... I'll bandage you..."
But he used his other hand to hug her tightly and comforted her softly: "Don't panic, it's okay, I may...can't hold on any longer...You and Youyou must be strong, wait for the rescuers to arrive..."
"No, no, you've always been blessed with good fortune, haven't you? Nothing will happen to you. Don't abandon us..."
"Don't die, Dad, don't... Please hold on a little longer, don't give up, okay?" Zhang You knelt in front of them, crying and begging him to hold on.
Perhaps it was her mother's crying that woke up little Zhang You. She opened her eyes in a daze, but all she saw was darkness. She could not see anything at all. She could only feel that she was in her mother's warm embrace.
Little Zhang You didn't know what was going on, she just knew she was scared. She cried loudly, and her voice attracted the attention of her parents.
The mother lowered her head and looked at the little girl in her arms, tears falling silently.
A hot tear fell on little Zhang You's cheek. The scorching temperature made her stop crying for a moment. She raised her hazy eyes and looked at her mother, her eyes full of grievance.
"Mom... I'm so scared... Where's Dad? Mom and Dad..."
When her mother saw her pitiful look, her heart broke. She hugged little Zhang You tightly and comforted her: "Youyou, don't cry. Youyou is a strong girl. Youyou, don't be afraid. Mom and dad are here, both here." Her voice was choked with sobs.
"Don't be afraid, Youyou. Daddy is here."
Daddy's kind voice reached little Zhang You's ears, instantly dispelling her fear. It was as if as long as Daddy was there, she wouldn't be afraid anymore.
"Youyou, be good. Listen to mommy. We are trapped and need to wait for the police to bring people to rescue us. With them here, Youyou will be fine, so don't be afraid."
