I don't remember the date of that day, but I remember that day, I made a serious mistake. Strictly speaking, my father made a mistake. I only remember that year when he was just eight years old. It was a Sunday night, and I was tidying up Yue Yue's room, waiting for her happy return, waiting for her to give me a big hug with open arms.
The station is only a few tens of meters away from home, and Yue Yue can walk home in two minutes after getting off. Since Yue Yue learned to ride a bike alone, she often drives to my father's house alone.
Every time I get on the bus, Yue Yue will give me a big hug and attach it to my ear and say, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll call you when I get there." Thinking about the hug he gave me when he left, thinking about her clever and sensible appearance, a gratified smile appeared on my face, and I couldn't help but recall the scene when he first learned to ride.
Every weekend, Yue Yue will call her father to pick her up or ask me to take her there. One day, Yue Yue blinked his big bright eyes and said to me, "Mom, I'm in grade one. I think you should let me learn to take the bus by myself, so that I can go to grandpa's house by myself. "
"Do you really dare to go to grandpa's house by car alone?" I looked at Yue Yue's delicate little face suspiciously.
"There is a classmate in my class who goes to school by bus every day. And it's a through train from my home to my grandfather's. You take me to the car, and then call my grandfather to meet me at the station. Why not just call me after my grandfather picks me up? " He looks confident.
"No, you are still young, wait until next year." Looking at Yue Yue's innocence, I refused.
"Mom, don't you often praise me for being smart, brave and self-care? Besides, I'm a car learner, and I don't want you to drive me or my grandfather to pick me up. You adults are worried that I will get exercise. Will you agree to my request? " He he hugged me, his eyes full of begging.
I held Yue Yue gently and didn't speak. Look, I'm still hesitating. Yue Yue hugged me tighter.
It's only ten kilometers away from dad's house, so you can take the bus directly 1. So, in order to exercise my daughter, I agreed to her request. Only when I nodded yes did he let go of my hand.
The first time I took the bus alone, Yue Yue showed enough courage. Line up to get on the bus, coin in to find a seat, and act like an adult. After several follow-up observations, I found that Yue Yue's adaptability was really strong, so I put down my worries and let her go back and forth by car alone.
Just as I was intoxicated with the taste of happiness, my mobile phone rang. As soon as I saw it was my father's, before I could speak, I heard my father's urgent voice: "Yue Yue took the wrong bus and got on the No.2 bus. You should find her at the terminal of the No.2 bus. I'm taking a taxi to the terminal. Hurry up, hurry up ... "
Hanging up my dad's phone, I was so nervous that I was sweating all over. The 1 bus has the same terminal as the No.2 bus, but the stop route is different. Yue Yue is so small, you must be afraid of taking the wrong bus. What should I do if I meet bad people on the road? I was so anxious that tears came down.
I flew out of the house and took a taxi to the terminal. After getting off the bus, I looked around anxiously, but where was Yue Yue's young figure in the bustling crowd? I searched along the front, back, left and right directions of the station, and asked pedestrians and shops again, saying that I had never seen the little girl. Just when I was in such a hurry, my father came in a hurry.
"Dad, how can Yue Yue take the wrong bus? What the hell is going on? " I asked my father anxiously.
"Well, I'm an old fool. 1 bus and 2 bus are the same color. At that time, I saw the car coming. I didn't see the car number, so I pushed Yue Yue into the car. At that time, Yue Yue repeatedly said' Wrong, this is the No.2 bus', but I still insisted that it was right. I didn't realize that I was on the wrong bus until a 1 arrived. I was anxious to catch a taxi, but the more anxious I was, the less I could get a taxi. It took a long time to take a taxi, so I followed the route of No.2 bus all the way. Alas, I am getting more and more confused when I get older ... "Dad complained to himself.
Looking at dad's frowning brows, I can't bear to blame him. I held back my tears and tried to calm myself down. I comforted my father and said, "Dad, don't worry, Yue Yue remembers our cell phone number. She will contact us when she gets off the bus. "
"But she has no money in her pocket. I gave her ten dollars before she left, but she refused. How can she call if she has no money? " Dad felt even more uneasy when he heard my comfort.
"Dad, don't worry, let's look separately and call at any time." Just after that, my cell phone rang.
"It must be embarrassing!" I excitedly picked up my mobile phone. When I saw that it was my sister's mobile phone number, my excitement suddenly disappeared. I weakly pressed the answer key: "Sister, Yue Yue came to my house alone. She is safe now. Come and pick her up. "
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll be right there!" When I got the news that Yue Yue was safe, the stone that my father and I were hanging on our hearts finally fell to the ground.
Dad and I hurried to the second sister's house. Yue Yue was still in shock and didn't recover. When he saw me, he immediately threw himself into my arms. He held me tightly in his hands and his shoulders kept shaking. He sobbed and said, "Mom, I blame my grandfather, but he insisted on pushing me into the car …" Before he finished, he burst into tears.
"It's all my grandpa's fault. My grandfather is old and confused. My grandfather apologizes to you. " The father on the side looked ashamed and blamed himself.
"Dad, it's okay, don't blame yourself." I comforted my father and sat down.
I tried to pull him away and hold my little hand tightly, but the more I pulled her little hand, the tighter she held it. I gave up the idea of forcibly pulling away her little hand and hugged her tightly. I know that at this moment, Yue Yue needs my hug, which is the warmest and strongest support in her life.
"Hey, you are really a sensible and brave boy." I whispered her name in Yue Yue's ear to encourage and comfort her. Gradually, I released my little hand, and my expression in shock returned to calm.
"Well, he he is really good. Tell me, how did you know you came to my second aunt's house? " I asked, wiping the tears from her eyes with a tissue.
"At that time, when I was pushed by my grandfather into the No.2 bus, do you know how anxious and nervous I was? I almost cried, but looking at the stranger in the car, I was scared. Along the way, I stood next to an old woman and didn't dare to cry at all, for fear that some bad guys would find out that I was a child who got on the wrong bus without an adult around. Mom, haven't you always taught me to be calm when something happens? So I gradually calmed down. I looked at the scenery along the way and thought about where to get off. I know that 1 and 2 are the same terminal, so I decided to get off at the terminal so that you can find me. "
"Then how do you want to go to the second aunt's house when you get to the terminal?"
"After I got off the bus, I looked at the people coming and going and was scared. Then I thought about where to wait for you, but when I looked up, I saw the' Golden Pineapple Steak Restaurant' next to the station. My second aunt took me to this restaurant several times. I walked west along this road and arrived at my second aunt's house, so I immediately decided to go to my second aunt's house. "
"What are you going to do if the second aunt is not at home or her home is far from here?"
"I'll call you from the pay phone."
"But what if you have no money on you?"
"I can call you first and then pay the phone bill when you pick me up."
"What will you do if there is no telephone booth here?"
"So ... then I'll ask the policeman on the side of the road for help."
Yue Yue gave me satisfactory answers to a series of questions I asked. I gently wiped the corner of her eye with a tissue and held her tightly in my arms. He still hugged me tightly and refused to let go for a long time.
"Today, I found that the face after tears looks better than the smiling face. Do not move. I'll take a picture of you as a souvenir. " The second sister, who was silent by the side, had raised her camera when she didn't know what to do.
With a light and a click, my smiling face and Yue Yue's tearful face were fixed in a photo.
"Second aunt is really bad ..." He buried his head in my arms and smiled through tears. We all laughed.
I can't help hugging Yue Yue, but also from the depths of my soul. That is a kind of dependence, trust, warmth, peace of mind, sureness and happiness I gave her; Yue Yue gave me a hug unconsciously, but it was also from the heart. Besides making me feel warm, safe and practical, I am more happy and proud.
This hug is a heartfelt hug, a blend of love and love, a hug that only tears can understand, and a hug that only the soul can understand. Such a hug is enough for me and her to remember for a lifetime.
A false alarm was dissolved in a hug. Slowly, my heart is full of warmth and emotion.
In this hug, there is a taste of time, growth, happiness and love.
