Chapter 54: The Father of Promises 2
Forced to be helpless, Grandma promised that she had to move her family to the old house in the countryside again in late autumn.
Xu Yue doesn't remember how many times he moved with his grandfather during that period of change. She only remembers that at the beginning she lived in a small building with several floors, and there were many rooms in the building, and many people would come to have a lively time during the holidays, and there was a garden downstairs, with a small bridge in the garden, flowing water, and that kind of red goldfish shuttling.
Later, when they moved to the small courtyard in the countryside, there were not many people to visit, and the courtyard was only a small side, piled with fire-burning wood, and the room was dark, promising that grandma would often make dinner before the sun went down to prepare for rest, otherwise the cost of electricity would be a burden for their family.
Grandma Promise is a housewife with little knowledge, and when she promises her mother to resolutely marry Promise's father, she can only persuade her husband and daughter at both ends, but she often fails to get the essentials and no one listens.
After promising her parents to get married, under the influence of "the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it", she is still very good to her father, and often advises her daughter to be content, and says that young people are angry, and it is good to grind and grind, and the older generation is like this. And she has a gratuitous fondness for promises, that kind infinite doting like poppies that can completely destroy a person.
However, when she promised her mother to leave the country, this kind mother also showed a strong side, she resolutely stood on the side of her son-in-law to protect the marriage of her children, and even threatened her with death, but Promise's mother has been spoiled since she was a child, so Promise's grandmother finally failed to resist Promise's mother's departure.
When Xu Promise was 8 years old, Xu Promise's grandmother was because her daughter in another country had remorse and wanted to get back together, and second, the family was really unsustainable, so she took Promise to find Xu Promise's father who lived in the city center, because her understanding of the family is that no matter how much you love and hate, the family is a family after all, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons.
Before leaving, there were several luxuriant apple trees in the courtyard of the countryside, the trees were full of fruits, and the fragrance wafted all over the garden, which was a rare and good product, and she used to promise to go to the trees to steal food when she would be angry and drank it by her grandmother.
The grandfather and grandson lasted about a day, changed buses several times, and finally arrived at the best villa area in the city at dusk.
But in front of this golden gate, there were a few men in uniform, who used batons to drive away the two grandparents, and shouted that not everyone could come here.
Grandma Xu repeatedly smiled and explained, and the uniformed person impatiently informed the owner and led the two in.
After waiting for a long time in front of the courtyard of the villa, the promise was hungry and tired, and when he sat on the ground, the promise father was willing to come out, and when he saw the promise, his depressed face suddenly gave birth to infinite tenderness, but for some reason, after a while, he returned to being as cold as ever.
After Promise's grandmother saw Promise's father, she not only thought of the past again, but couldn't help crying bitterly, telling the misfortune of the Xu family and the tragic experience of Promise's mother, while Promise's father stood there and listened silently, without saying a word, and his face was deep and terrible.
After a long time, after Grandma Promise finished speaking, Promise Father dropped the sentence "Self-inflicted, you can't live, you deserve it, why didn't she die there?", and left coldly, leaving the grandparents and grandchildren to stay there.
After a while, a fair-skinned and beautiful young woman came out of the room, she was wearing a white nightgown, which shone faintly in the hazy moonlight, beautiful and dignified.
Xu promised to like such a bathrobe before, like a fairy, but then he never had a chance.
The woman was holding a child less than three years old in her arms, and she was making a mischievous noise.
"What are you doing here?" the lady glanced at the two of them, her face disdainful.
"This is Noel's little brother, isn't it? Grandma Xu endured her grief and said with a forced smile: "Nuo'er, go and get a big apple for your brother that we brought." ”
Xu Yu also liked the child in front of him, so he hurriedly took out a red apple from the basket, wiped it on the side of his pants, and handed it over.
"Oh, what are you doing? Where did you come from? Who are you not doing it clean?" the child grinned and was about to reach out to take it, but the lady turned around and stepped back in panic with a look of disgust, as if it was not an apple that had been promised to give it, but a one that could explode at any time.
Xu Promise was insulted by this, and stood there stunned, the little hands holding the apple were raised in mid-air, motionless, like a sculpture, although she was still young, but the disgust of extreme disgust could still be understood and understood. So after she stood still, she burst into tears, threw the apple in her hand into the distance, and then ran out without looking back, and behind her came her grandmother's complaint, "How can this child be like this? ”
After that, Grandma Xu couldn't bear the sadness and explained: "This fruit is from our yard, it's very clean, look at this color...", but before she finished speaking, the woman interrupted her: "You said that your old man is also from a big family, how can you give gifts to others such shabby things? Do you look down on us? Or do you look down on yourself?"
After the woman finished speaking, she saw that Grandma Xu was standing there with her body bent, her head shaking constantly because of nervous breakdown, and she was really pitiful, so she could not bear to make any more sarcastic remarks, and shouted to an old man who was watching the house at the door: "Ali, Ali, come and take these apples, don't you say that the horses in the horse farm like to eat?
"Well, our horses will be more energetic when they eat these apples, and you will be more comfortable to ride, ma'am. Ali smiled and took it from Grandma Xu's hand.
The woman was amused, turned her head to Grandma Xu but made a blank face, and said: "Our brother Hua, I have done my best to be benevolent to your Xu family, and your daughter first did that shameless deed and ran away with a foreign man."
What about your old man, he is also a person with a bad heart, he took advantage of the fire to rob when our Hua brother was in trouble, and drove Hua Ge out of your Xu family, Hua Ge has worked hard for your Xu family for so many years, how can you treat people like this?" Hehe, these are all over, don't mention it, and then your broken company can't work, your old man licked his face and begged Brother Hua, Brother Hua couldn't bear to refuse when he saw Nuo'er's affection, so he helped you.
But even so, Brother Hua didn't treat you badly, and the annual benefits should be given, what do you want?
Grandma Promise blushed at the commotion, so she had to laugh in a low voice: "No, it's not like this, we did have a place where we couldn't live with Nuo'er's father before."
But after all, everyone is a family, broken bones and tendons, and now there are so many things happening at home, I can't help it, so I came to him for help. ”
"Hey, who is your family? Now Brother Hua is my husband, and we are a family, you know? Don't come to Brother Hua again in the future. Madame sneered, took out a wad of money from her purse, and sneered: "You want money, right? Here you go, this is the last money." Come back to us in the future, don't blame us for being rude. Madame sneered and threw out the money in her hand like a flower.
The red and bright banknotes dance in the air with the wind, like brilliant fireworks, very gorgeous, and like withered colors, lonely.
At that time, Xu Promise ran back crying again, wanting to pull her grandmother out, this kind of dirty money is not uncommon for her, but Promise Grandma hesitated for a moment, still bent over, and slowly, picked it up one by one.
Since then, the two sides have not interacted again for several years.
"How can there be such a ruthless and shameless person? robbed your Xu family company, and still don't give you a way to live, no matter how bad you are, you are still his daughter? How can he be so ruthless and unjust?" Li Shaohui was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this, there is still such a Lao Tzu in the world, he is really not as good as a beast.
"What's this, it's even more excessive!" Xu Yu sighed leisurely, "My mother has been abroad for a few years, and her illness is getting worse, so I asked someone to take her back."
After coming back, my mother knew that time was running out, so she wanted to go to see Hua Zhanjun, although the two of them quarreled for many years, and finally broke up, but my mother always had him in her heart, after all, she gave Hua Zhanjun the best youth of a woman and all the first time.
But at that time, my mother was very ashamed and kept dragging it out and didn't dare to go.
Looking at my mother who was tormented by illness and longing, I couldn't bear it, so I took her to Hua Zhanjun's house, at that time, we saw Hua Zhanjun and their family at the gate of the community, at that time, Hua Zhanjun was holding a six-year-old boy, constantly kissing and playing, and the cheap woman next to him was holding his arm, with a happy face...
Later, they also saw me and my mother, so we walked over and took the initiative to say hello, but Hua Zhanjun only glanced at us, then turned around and ignored us.
At that time, my mother was very excited when she saw Hua Zhanjun, if I didn't hold her, she would have fallen to the ground, she looked at Hua Zhanjun stupidly, her face was the kind of smile and sadness and like a reminiscence, her fingers were also pinched into my arm because of nervousness and excitement, I endured the severe pain and did not want to interrupt, after a while, my mother came to her senses, and laughed astringently, "Zhanjun, these years, how are you doing?"
But do you know how ruthless Hua Zhanjun is? He smiled noncommittally, said nothing, turned around and left. ”
"So ruthless, what about later?" Li Shaohui looked incredulous, and asked eagerly.
Xu promised a bitter smile and said, "Later, my mother's condition became more and more serious, and there were not many days left."
At that time, one of the things she did every day was to take the wooden comb that Hua Zhanjun gave her for the first time in a daze, and after staying for a long time, she fell asleep with a smile and tears, and when she woke up, she would still go to find the wooden comb as soon as possible...
So at that time, I thought that I couldn't let my mother die with regret no matter what, so I went to Hua Zhanjun again and asked him to talk to my mother, but who knew that after he heard the news that my mother was seriously ill, he just smiled coldly, turned his head and ran away.
Later, when I went to look for him again, he was gone, do you know what he was doing?"
When he said this, the grief-stricken promise was already in tears, and the little hand holding Li Shaohui couldn't help but tremble.
Li Shaohui, who was heartbroken, was busy wiping her tears and comforting her softly, and then heard Xu Yu muttering: "He Hua Zhanjun actually took their whole family on vacation abroad when my mother was dying." ”
"What? There is still this kind of operation?" Looking at the promise, Li Shaohui was completely petrified on the spot.
