(sixty-four)
Qiu Ruihua has been working in sanitation since Widow Yang stopped opening a snack shop. In fact, no matter what, she did not forget to visit her son regularly, and put some money and food for her son. Although there is no snack shop anymore, it is still very convenient to buy that kind of food. And you can buy something else to eat, so it's not as monotonous as it used to be.
As mentioned earlier, she does sanitation, that is, around the simple house rented by the Yin Hong brothers and sisters. Although when she did it, the Yin Hong brothers and sisters had not yet come here, and at that time there were still other people in the big room doing other business, but it didn't matter, she was just cleaning at that time.
It wasn't until the morning of New Year's Day in '88 that she was sweeping the back of that house when she heard artillery firing in front of her. Artillery is often fired on these facades, because any new business opening has to be fired. So she didn't care, she just thought in her heart, after a while, she would have to sweep for a while. Such things are also frequent. As long as it is within the scope of her responsibility for cleaning, whether it is another artillery or a hospitality, this pollutes the environment and adds work to her. Therefore, she did not hurry to sweep forward.
It was inevitable that there would be a lot of people on the first day of opening, and when she was about to sweep the storefront, she saw that it was difficult to sweep the storefront, so she simply stopped and rested. When she was resting, she couldn't help but join in the excitement and go in and see what was on sale here. When she saw all kinds of shoes, she was not in the mood to buy them, because she was not short of shoes to wear, so she just looked at them.
She looked down and then up, only to see her son at a glance. His son is still busy helping customers get goods, and helping people pack shoes with knots. Her surprise was simply incredible. But she can only hide her joy in her heart, she is not easy to show in front of everyone, if she shows it, it will make people inexplicable. She secretly congratulated her son on finding this regular job.
She thought: If her son really helped the boss here for a long time, he would definitely not be able to sleep in the abandoned houses outside. Because it's such a big house, you can just put a bed in that corner and you can sleep. And now he goes to work regularly, no matter how much the salary is, it must be fixed. Besides, I can see him every day now, and it's so easy to see him.
Since then, Qiu Ruihua has been able to see her son every day. The regret for her is that she can no longer give him money and food. For his bed was placed in the innermost corner, and it was surrounded by iron sheets. For such a long time, you clean the house by one, and you only clean the outside of the house for one day. If you have something to do in a house where people do business, you can't just go in, you have to have a certain reason to go in. Even if you can pretend to look at the shoes to go in, it will be at most once or twice, and people will recognize you after a few rounds. And you clean here every day, people are familiar with you. So, she had to give up putting things for her son.
What reassures her the most is that since then, she has seen that her son Han Han is not only better dressed than before, but also cleaner than before, and his body is getting stronger and stronger. It's just that whenever she sees her son, she has an urge to come forward and recognize him, but she always can't have the courage. What she regretted was that she abandoned him and her family at that time. Thinking about her heart at that time, it was too ruthless, and it would be a lifelong hatred for her.
She sometimes just thinks: Han Han is also so old, counting the fifteenth day of the lunar month this year, he will be twenty-three years old. is such a big person, and he doesn't have a relative around him, and he doesn't know what to do with his own lifelong events. I don't know if the mother-in-law and grandfather in the house are still there, but the two old ones should be in their seventies. To say that people of such an age have to hold a wedding ceremony for their grandchildren, it is still very laborious. And the most important thing is the cost of marriage. Over the years, I don't know if Han Han has money or not, and how much. Whether he himself has considered his personal problems or not, whether he will think about it or not, that is, he knows how to consider it, but whether he has this condition or not, he does not know. In fact, I have been out for sixteen or seventeen years myself, and now I have a little money in hand, but how to give it to my son, I have to find a way, but I must always give it to him when he is really going to get married.
Of course, these are what every mother, as a mother, wants to see her son grow up. What's more, this mother, who abandoned her son since she was a child and has always repented afterwards, must be the most complicated in her heart. At this time, Qiu Ruihua was really in love and hate.
But what Qiu Ruihua didn't expect the most was that since May Day in 89, she has seen the sisters of these two bosses, and she is getting better and better with her son. She saw the boss's sister a lot of the time, and she and Han Han talked and laughed, which was something that had not happened in the past few months. Therefore, she pays special attention to these two young people these times.
I've been here for a long time every day, even if I listen to it alone, I'm familiar with people calling Boss Yin to come to Boss Yin, and by her appearance, Qiu Ruihua also knows that the beautiful girl who often comes here is the sister of these two bosses, not to mention that she often hears her call the eldest brother and the second brother. They have been doing business here for almost half a year, and she even knows the names of their three sisters. Qiu Ruihua has always thought that these three sisters are very good at doing business and are good at dealing with people.
It was precisely because Qiu Ruihua saw that Yin Hong and her son were getting better and better, and later she judged that they must be playing friends, and she was also very happy in her heart. Therefore, she paid serious attention. Therefore, she spends a little more time and concentration every day than she used to be by the door, watching the two of them.
Because of this, Yin Hong paid attention to Qiu Ruihua. Because Yin Hong and Han Han went to the countryside in the car, Han Han told her that someone had put money and food over the years, and then Yin Hong decided that it must have been Han Han's mother.
According to what Yin Hong observed, she also told Han Han, she said that this cleaner is most likely your mother. In fact, Han Han has noticed this in the past two days, and he has also paid attention to this woman who is cleaning.
When Han Han recognized this woman, he entered into contemplation, and he tried to recall: This is not the first time I saw her, is she opening a noodle shop? At that time, I had only been in the city for a long time, and it was only that day, and the four of us went too far north to find business that day, and business was not good that day. When we turned around, it was relatively late, so Brother Gao shouted that we had eaten dinner at the noodle restaurant, so as not to go to the peasant restaurant outside the south gate to eat, and it would take a while to go back to eat there. Didn't she go for a walk with us, on the way out of the rotten house where we lived, if you didn't pay attention to her, she was a stranger, and even if you saw it often, this familiar stranger was a stranger after all. It's just that in the past few months, she has been cleaning here in the past few months, and I haven't really paid attention to her, but after a closer look, I suddenly remembered, it turns out that this beautiful woman is probably my mother.
Thinking of this, Han Han's heart was in turmoil, he just didn't know what to do now. He thought carefully: How did she know me? That is, when I ate noodles, I was also seventeen years old, and I had grown from less than six years old to seventeen years old, so I must have changed a lot, right? Even I don't recognize her, how did she recognize me? Oh, that must be where I have a special mark. Oh, didn't I have a black mole on my earlobe, that must be like this, she saw my black mole. Oh, and my name, they all called my name when they ate the noodles. No wonder she has been taking care of me for so many years!
That's it, if your mother doesn't recognize it, you can't say it. If I admit it, I think of how ruthless she was when she abandoned me. You say she's ruthless, why can't she let go of me for so many years, you say she can't let go of me, why doesn't she recognize me for so many years, it's really incomprehensible.
Oh, isn't it that she got married after she ran out, got married and now has a family, and has children again. She had another child, so she couldn't call me to live with her. Because if she calls me to live with her, her current husband will definitely not be able to rely on her. Therefore, she was a little reluctant to me, so she took care of me in this way, if this is the case, I still don't need her to take care of me, and besides, I don't lack that now.
At this time, Yin Hong discussed Han Han and how to recognize his mother. She said: "Now it's basically determined that this cleaner is your mother, and it seems that how to recognize it, and how to recognize it." ”
Han Han said: "Don't say anything else, she ran away when I was so young in the past." I hated her, but she has been so good to me all these years. I thought to myself that I was born to her after all, so I didn't care about that. I am still willing to recognize her, but what I scruple about is that she is married and has a family. After she recognized me, if her current husband knew, her current husband was afraid that she would be good to me and give me things, he would dislike her and hate me at the same time. I really don't know what to do. ”
"I think it's better to admit it, otherwise it's not good to be like this for a long time. When you look at her like that, you still want to recognize her, but she's afraid that you don't recognize her. As long as you don't have anything, she must be very happy to be with you, in the end you are the meat that fell from her body, mother and son are connected. She comes to see you every day, and she can't speak, it's really pitiful. As for whether she has a family or not, we don't care about her now. That's all for the future, and we'll talk about it until then. Yin Hong still sympathized with this woman.
Han Han said: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
