When he was 18 years old, is a mischievous boy. He has two sworn brothers, one named Zhi Hui, a dive. They often slipped out of school, to find a partner in trouble, there are the petty thief.

Once, he was stopped by a low grade students, time for supper money, be mother saw. His heart a surprised, ran. My mother is a serious person, but I do not know why, after the event, the mother did not knock him.

The 18 year old birthday, my mother gave him a gift. Is a cool "cross" necklace, this necklace has been wearing a mother's neck, probably more than 20 years. He had made countless dreams of wearing it. He wanted to, mom must have a special feeling for the necklace, or do not believe in Jesus's mother never wore it every day. Mother said, "I always want to put this necklace to you, but do not always feel that time."

"Then, why you sent me?"

He didn't know why mother to tears the most beloved Necklace gave him, but the necklace wearing a neck is really cool, he is like. Of course, his 18 birthday, in addition to get my mother a gift, also got Zhihui and opposing blessing -- steal money to hold a Western flavor birthday dinner.

After graduating from high school, bad grades. He had to choose an occupation school. At first, he and his two brothers try various devices to gather together, telling each other "quack" life, and then ask for trouble. However, gradually, they meet less and less. Two years later, they almost cut off contact.

Finally, one day, he received the mail dive. Dive told him, oneself to study abroad, survival pressure, have to study hard. Dive in the letter said, Zhihui during a robbery, the police patrol caught, sentenced to two years. After reading the letter, he burst into tears, glad that they did not slide into the abyss of depravity.

"Mom, I want to return the necklace to you." He took the necklace, said to his mother.

Why. Mother asked, "did you not, like it?"

No, not at all. He said, "I think, necklace wearing a neck, is no longer so cool."

"Mother, don't you always want me to study hard, grow up never touch drugs?" He jumped up, "how? Do you, do you?"

"Yes, if we the transaction is successful, we broke the law, will be severely punished." Mother said, "fortunately, before the transaction, we were taken on the police car. Because I was too small, anti narcotics police questioned me, let me go."

"Then?"

"Later, I did not dare to go home, if you Grandpa hear I do, he will kill me. Helpless I a person aimlessly wandering around in Hainan. Inadvertently, I walked into a church. I stayed there for two days, the merciful father told me, life on the road, there is a section called the Youth Road, everyone must go, but there are many forks, stumbling, and also turn, everyone in the youth on the road detours, stumble, and fall face swollen and bruised youth, but not through wind and rain, how can it grow?" Mother sighed, "parting, father gave me this cross necklace.
