Chapter 8: Confrontation or Strife (1) (6)
When Zhu'er opened his eyes, the strong sunlight had already penetrated through the lattice window lattice, and slanted into the room. On the uneven ground, several square clusters of light were drawn, piercing the eyes of the people. As soon as Zhu'er opened his eyes, he immediately squinted his eyes again to attenuate the intense visual stimulation reflected by the light cluster.
The pillar lay down for a short while. When his eyes gradually adjusted to the bright environment, he slowly got up and lazily dressed and put on his shoes.
I drank too much wine last night, and I still feel sore and lazy, and my brain hurts like an explosion. My head was also like a mixture of soy milk, and I was at a loss. What had happened last night, how he had drunk, how much he had drunk, all that remained in his memory were fragments that he could not reconnect. Intermittently, unable to sort out a complete process. He couldn't even remember when the wine shop ended and how the people went. However, there was one thing he remembered very clearly. It was Xylophone who had told him a lot of things, and promised to figure out the next step in his life for him. He had long forgotten the exact words. The meaning of the words he said was clearly imprinted in his mind.
After getting dressed, he sat stunned for a long time, and his stomach also "growled" a few times. Then, there was an urgent appetite that surged all over the body. The stomach was empty, like a shriveled air sac, contracting and expanding. There was a sweat that was squeezed out by the strong stretching force, and the extremely greasy clothes and pants were pasted on the thin body. It was hot for a while, and cold for a while, which made him very uncomfortable.
He didn't want to leave home to find food. To be exact, he didn't want to go home and see Mao Xiang's figure and face. Ever since Mao Xiang and Full Moon combined to form a family, he has consciously or unconsciously alienated this family and his own mother, who regards him as his life. Sometimes, when this thought pops up in his mind, he feels very sorry for his mother. It's that he resents his mother unreasonably, and he resents his mother for cruelly leaving himself to live with others. Gradually, he felt less self-blame and more peace of mind. The truth that Sour Apricot said and the promise made by Mao Xiang did not seem to have developed according to everyone's wishes. Mao Xiang only cared about living a good life with his mother, and didn't take him seriously. Especially some time ago, Mao Xiang fought with Mao Lin like a mad dog, completely exposing a fierce, ruthless, and hard scary posture. Zhu'er's originally simple and fragile heart produced an inexplicable psychological fear, and he also lost the sense of security that he had not been aware of in the past. At this time, he suddenly missed his father Xiguilai very strongly. Because of his young age at the time, he didn't have much impression of his father's appearance. However, this innate family affection and blood inheritance gave him uncontrollable remembrance and thoughts.
He didn't know when he would get up and leave. Foreign companies always get up early and return late. In the long time he had slept in his room, Zhu'er had long been accustomed to the elusive behavior of foreign travelers. Thinking about it, the foreign company went out early in the morning in the newly bought car. When he thought of the car of the foreign company, he felt a sense of loss in his heart. I don't know where my future life will be based, and how I will deal with the current days of being helpless and helpless.
Just as he was in his distraction, the full moon entered the house. She was surprised to see Zhu'er's dejected look. asked Zhu'er one after another, what's wrong, why don't you go home for breakfast, are you sick?
Zhu'er replied in a heartless hum, no. Last night, I drank a lot of wine at Uncle Maosheng's house, and I didn't feel hungry.
The full moon dragged him and said, go home, you have to eat a little. Your Uncle Mao Xiang is also waiting for you at home, I have something to ask.
Zhu'er hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly returned home with Full Moon. [End of Chapter]
