"It's good to be a teacher, and I'm not tired, why don't you agree to the third brother?"

"I just don't want to go...... I'm fine now, too. ”

"Are you still thinking about that?"

Kevin's sudden remark, but I don't know how to answer. I wanted to say directly that the old lady had forgotten about it, but I opened my mouth but didn't say it. I chose this job because it was stable and had winter and summer vacations, but I didn't take two vacations, Lu Yuheng graduated and went home, slamming the door and shaking my face all day long, so the winter and summer vacations were meaningless, but it was just one more opportunity for me to eat, sleep and eat in the rental house. It's more like a joke now, and I can be fired for such a stable job. It's just that I can't tell where the huge sense of loss comes from, and I always have pictures of holding parties and participating in activities with students in the past, as if ...... It's a bit reluctant...... It seems that before I knew it, a sense of mission had taken root in my bones...... Suddenly remembered that the spring silkworm was dead to the end, and the wax torch turned to ash and tears began to dry......

When I returned to the room, I shivered from the cold, and the basement was really cold. I picked up the basin and was about to wash my dirty clothes, when I suddenly found a small stool in the corner, nestled alone in the corner of the big empty room. I pointed to it and was about to ask Kevin, but I found that there was a rudimentary curtain on the narrow window, and the so-called curtain was nothing more than a rope nailed to both sides of the window, and a strip of cloth was hung that was barely half a meter long, just enough to cover the window. I simply glanced around the room, and there was an extra washbasin and kettle......

"What is this?"

"Oh, the third brother said, we can go to his house to get water. I think about it, it's cold, you can't always let you drink cold water, you have been cold before, and you have to use cold water less to wash. ”

"Then why don't you buy an electric stove tomorrow, you can cook instant noodles and eat them, I miss the taste of luck so much now." ”

Next, I spent another half an hour teaching Kevin about what an electric stove and luck are, because what little memory I had left about this era made up a large part of my childhood memories. The weekends at the fast food restaurant were really busy, and although Brother Hui graciously added food to us, we were still busy until almost 10 o'clock. When I left, I was holding a big ticket that would definitely buy a box of instant noodles, and I was not tired at all.

It's just that after a good leisure night, I didn't even finish watching the Quyuan Miscellaneous Altar, so I pulled Kevin out of the third brother's house.

"Are you creating an opportunity for their father and son?"

"Well, it looks like their father and son have a conflict, so we have to talk about it. I walked straight forward and closed the door in the hope that the third brother and his father would have a good chat, "After all, where did the father and son come from?" ”

"Sister, what you said doesn't seem to be appropriate for both of us. ”

I glared back at him and closed the door: "It's not appropriate to put it on me, your dad is still very good to you, you are not satisfied." ”

Kevin hurriedly poured a cup of hot water and handed it to me: "I'm sorry, I ......"

I waved my hand, but I didn't put this at ease: "My mother is too strong, she pretended to turn around and walked very chicly, and she didn't even have the idea of going to play the junior, she only said that her daughter belonged to me, and the divorce was done." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, I didn't know why I was telling Kevin this, but I felt like I was relieved to say a few words.

"I've never heard you mention your own father in the past...... I'm also curious about what Sister Cai said last time...... What about your grandparents...... Didn't say anything? Your dad didn't fight for custody of you?"

"That old bastard wants to get married as soon as possible and go abroad with his new love, pursuing his poetry and distance. When he left, he didn't even tell me, but asked a friend to bring a postcard back and write his new address and phone number, I was afraid that my mother would be sad to see and tear it up. So why keep him? If you can keep people, you can't keep your heart. "I was only 7 years old when I tore the postcard, and it was one of the few memories I could recall both the scene and the mood at the time," my grandmother even broke off all our family ties with one sentence at the time, 'His son is at fault, but your problem is even greater, women can't even keep their own men, it's not that you blame your stomach for not being useful!'"

"No, I didn't understand that. ”

"That means my mother can't give birth to a son. ”

"It's not a woman's decision to have a boy or a girl!" Kevin almost threw his basin in anger.

"yes, I was outside the door when she said this, and from the moment my mom slammed the door out, I never thought of her as a relative. Later, my mom took me with her, and the house we used to live in also made my grandma want to go back. Just in time for the recession of state-owned enterprises, my mother simply quit her job and rented a shop to work as a commissary......"

In those years, we ate and lived in the commissary, and there was no bed, and the two square tables played mahjong for the old men and ladies during the day, and at night we put together a mattress to lay out our bed. There is hardly any room in the commissary to put your feet on. In the winter, my grandmother came to see us, scolded and cried, saying that her little daughter could not suffer this kind of grievance no matter what, but my mother lay in her grandmother's arms and did not shed a single tear, and I still remember what she said, "Mom, I can't ask for the money you give, and I can't move back home." I have suffered the iniquity of my own blindness. ”

In the end, my grandmother had to buy a well-sealed coal stove for us to heat up, and my uncle was afraid that we would be gased, so he installed an exhaust fan. On the day my grandmother went back, my mother hid behind the shelves and cried for a long time.

When I said this, I wiped the corners of my eyes, and before I knew it, I was wet again, and I wiped it with a pillow towel. It is precisely because of my own experience that I am particularly sure that the look in the third brother's eyes when he saw his father just now was definitely not really hate, but more like helplessness and guilt.

Thinking so, I sat up abruptly.

"Scared me, sister, what about you tricking the corpse?" I ignored Kevin, quietly walked to the door, opened the door, and listened to the movement outside.

It was quiet in the corridor, and I went back to bed and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's not noisy." ”

Kevin lay on his side on the bed and looked at me with his hands on his hands: "Sister, I heard a secret in the bathhouse yesterday. In fact...... All the basements in this community were bought by the third brother's family...... To be precise, all the underground hotels in this area are owned by his family. ”

"Local tyrants!"

"Does a local tyrant mean very rich?" Kevin was completely confused by my emotion.

"No, it's Howe! Not at all!" I mentally pressed the computer, and on average, I earned 200 a month, and this building had 48 basements. That's 9,600 a month......

A community is almost 100,000 rents......

"it!"

"Million...... In this day and age, there are very few millionaires...... "Kevin couldn't help but sigh.

The two of us spent a long time on our stomachs, and we couldn't help but sigh that the real person didn't show up......

"No! His family is so rich! Why did the third brother come to see the door? Shouldn't he go out and spend all his time drinking? At least he has to open a tailor shop like he said?"

"I look at him and his dad like that, and it's clear that they have fallen out with the family. ”

"I seem to remember when you say this, Uncle Zhang said that it seems that it is rare to see his father come over in the past few years. ”

"Uncle Zhang met in the bathhouse again?"

"Hmm. ”

I couldn't stop laughing and crying at Kevin's amazing adaptability.

Suddenly, an idea started to sprout in my head. I want to help ease their father-son relationship.

I told Kevin what I thought, but he didn't agree with it.

"It's hard. You can see me and Lou Ye know. ”

"Don't think I don't know you secretly squatted in the toilet and cried that night. ”

"Eh, Lu Lingxi, it's too much!"

"You are just one step behind Master Lou, and if you have a step, you must be faster than anyone else!"

Kevin pointed at me and opened his mouth, probably because he didn't think of a rebuttal, and it took a long time before he put his hand down, and said with a sad head: "Anyway, I didn't accomplish anything on my trip, so I should accumulate virtue." ”

But having said that, it is really difficult to practice, and many of the old residents in this area live in the main city, so they can only wait for Kevin to meet his bath buddies in the bathhouse again.

Kevin picked me up from work one night and came back from work, a gray-haired figure wandering around the staircase with a bunch of things.

I saw my face clearly through the street lamp, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Won't Uncle go in?"

The third brother's father looked at us for a long time before he suddenly realized, and then his eyes flashed, and he hid his hand carrying the things behind him.

"That...... You're San'er's friends, aren't you?"

I nodded and poked Kevin with my hand, and he went to take the things in Uncle Shen's hand very eye-catchingly,

"Uncle, I'll help you carry it. ”

Uncle Shen was embarrassed to retract his hand any further, but handed it to Kevin and followed us into the door.

"Are you willing to be friends with San'er?"

"The third brother is very good, who wouldn't want to be friends with him?"

"Hmph, you don't know what he's done......

"Huh?"

"It's okay...... It's okay......"

Listening to Uncle Shen's flickering words, it is estimated that he said that we don't know that the things that the third brother did were the reason for their father-son falling out.

He ...... He usually does something, and ...... during the day."

"We haven't seen him during the day, so we guess he's sleeping......"

"it!" he ......."

Uncle Shen's body suddenly trembled violently.

"Please help me bring the things to him, I still have to leave beforehand. ”

"Hey, uncle, don't ......."

This old gentleman walks like a fly, and Kevin and I didn't stop him. When we took the things to the third brother, he knew that Uncle Shen didn't leave any words, and there was still some disappointment in his eyes......

The next day, Kevin and I finally got around and took a bus for more than an hour to the place where he once remembered living as a child. What is even more exaggerated than not finding anyone is that in addition to a large field of sorghum, there is a large field of freshly harvested corn stalks...... There is not even a proper path. So we can only continue to work hard to earn money.
