Chapter 61: Sorry for the fool
We stayed in the swimming pool for a long time, and by the end of the day I was able to master my basic swimming skills.
It wasn't all about practice, and the two of us would have a fight once in a while, until the swimming pool was about to close, and we didn't leave until we were about to close.
When I got home, the lights were on.
Uncle Zheng sat on the couch, casually watching the entertainment on TV, and it was obvious that he was waiting for us here.
My heart jumped, and I subconsciously hid behind Zheng Xinguang.
At this time, Uncle Zheng heard the movement, turned around, and said without anger: "Xinguang, are you causing trouble again in the summer camp?"
Hearing Uncle Zheng's tone of criticism, he obviously knew about Zheng Xinguang's affairs in the summer camp.
Zheng Xinguang's face changed, and he said, "That's what they deserve." ”
Then Zheng Xinguang said with a gloomy face that he had a complete experience of conflict with people in the summer camp.
The main reason for the incident was that those people tried to rub my oil, so Zheng Xinguang would beat them and teach them a lesson.
I noticed that Uncle Zheng listened to Zheng Xinguang's narration and never said a word from beginning to end.
I couldn't help but feel a little worried, and after Zheng Xinguang finished speaking, I hurriedly spoke: "Uncle Zheng, it's actually my fault. It was I who didn't notice that caused those people to trouble me. Zheng Xinguang just wanted to protect me. ”
When I said this, I spoke quickly, for fear that if I was not careful, I would let Uncle Zheng blame Zheng Xinguang.
After listening to my words, Uncle Zheng was stunned, nodded and said, "It's not wrong for my brother to protect my sister, you two brothers and sisters should take care of each other more." ”
It seems that Uncle Zheng didn't mean to blame Zheng Xinguang, I realized this, and unconsciously exhaled lightly, and saw Zheng Xinguang in front of me nodding.
At this time, Uncle Zheng's face softened and asked, "Xinguang, what are your plans for the next summer vacation?"
Zheng Xinguang said: "I want to go out and work for a summer job. ”
"Well, it's good for the boy to go outside and hone it. Uncle Zheng agreed.
I hesitated for a moment, plucked up the courage and said, "Uncle Zheng, I also want to go with Zheng Xinguang to do a summer job." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Xinguang turned around and looked at me.
His gaze undoubtedly injected me with a dose of strengthening, and I suddenly felt my heart settled.
Uncle Zheng said at this time: "Juanzi, let's talk about this after your mother comes out after cooking." ”
Although this was not the reply I wanted, it was not unacceptable, so I nodded and went with Zheng Xinguang to wash my hands and prepare for dinner.
During the meal, we sat on one side of the table, and my mother was across from me.
Seeing her eating calmly, I still remembered the part-time job in my heart, so I mentioned it to her: "Mom, I want to go out to work in the next summer vacation." This can make money to subsidize the family, and at the same time, it can also train my ......"
My mother took a bite of the chopsticks in her hand, then she took another bite of rice, and said in a very flat tone: "What kind of work? ”
It's her tone that makes people feel as if everything is in place, and they can't say no more words of refusal.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, lowered my head, and took a small bite of my rice.
I really want to follow Zheng Xinguang to hone myself, but now it seems that there is no chance.
Xu saw the disappointment on my face, and then Zheng Xinguang opened his mouth and said to my mother: "In this case, I think that instead of going to work for the summer vacation, I should follow and help plant seedlings." ”
"Well, that's a good idea. When Uncle Zheng heard this, he actually showed great agreement, "Xinguang, you go to plant rice with you, and you can ease the relationship with your aunt." ”
My mother looked up in some surprise at this time, looked at Uncle Zheng, and then at Zheng Xinguang, and finally could only agree to this decision with a smile.
And so it was settled.
This result was also beyond my expectations, but when I thought about the next rice planting time, with Zheng Xinguang by my side, my mood seemed to improve.
I picked up the bowl and drank the soup with a sneaky smile on the corner of my mouth.
The next day, the three of us went to the countryside.
Because I went to school in the town, I haven't been back for half a year, and I can't help but feel a little emotional.
This place, I haven't been here for a long time.
At that time, my mother and I depended on each other, and life was very hard, and the cold eyes and sarcasm of others made it even worse.
But now that we're finally out of that life, life is getting better, right?
I felt sad and happy, although I knew that I had only come to the old environment again, and I felt unnecessarily sad, but sometimes, I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself at that time.
Because my mother was there, although Zheng Xinguang sensed my emotions, he just looked at me worriedly.
But I'm not the kind of person who is hypocritical, and it's over after the emotion.
Now I believe that those are in the past, and the most important thing now is to grasp the present.
"Juanzi, I have something to do with the village chief, go first, you take Xinguang home first. "That's when my mom handed me the keys to the house and left.
Zheng Xinguang and I walked together on the pastoral path home.
At this time, Zheng Xinguang opened his mouth and asked, "What were you thinking just now?"
I was a little embarrassed to talk about my inexplicable emotions, so I said, "I haven't been here for a long time, so I'm a little emotional, it's nothing." ”
Zheng Xinguang looked at me in disbelief, but when he came to my home, he seemed to understand my emotions.
The door of our small bungalow was rusty at this time, and the walls were a little mottled.
The furniture inside is even more pitiful, the pots and pans are a little missing, the tables and chairs are missing arms and legs, and they look very shabby.
I instinctively felt ashamed in my heart, not that I wanted to compare anything, but that this place was really different from Zheng Xinguang's home.
But I didn't realize it myself, and I actually felt a little humble about the original appearance of my home.
I rubbed my hands together and said very embarrassedly, "My house is a little broken, you ......"
I was just about to say, "Don't be weird", but Zheng Xinguang suddenly turned around and hugged me.
He sighed softly and said, "Fool. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then there was a water light in my eyes, and the tip of my nose was sour. The grievances that were buried deep in my heart before seem to finally have an outlet.
Zheng Xinguang gently stroked the back of my head, hugged me tightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Fool, it's too late for me to feel sorry for you, how can you mind anything else?"
Originally, my tears were rolling in my eyes, but when I heard this, I trembled even more and fell from my eyes.
