Chapter 60: The Love of the Car
My mother dragged Ning Meixuan into the house, serving tea and pouring water, completely ignoring my feelings and not asking me if I was injured just now.
I sat on the side and played by myself, and my mother pulled Ning Meixuan to ask long and short questions.
I didn't see my dad, I guess he went to work again, my dad was a carpenter, he was helping out in other people's furniture stores, he didn't have much money, my dad said that he could cover the expenses and pass the time.
At that time, when my father told me, I realized how lonely my parents were, and I almost cried in front of him, but I still endured it.
So every time I go home, I don't want my parents to worry, I don't care about anything, I don't ask anything, and I pretend not to know if I know.
I don't know if it's the right thing to do, but I know that I'm spending less and less time with my mom and dad, and when I look at my mom, my mom's hair on her forehead is graying a little and her eyes are getting more wrinkles.
I quickly turned my head, afraid that I would not be able to hold back my tears.
At this time, I only heard my mother say: "Oops, I just remembered that there is no food at home, Zhezi, go, take me and Xuanxuan to buy some food." ”
"I'll just go, it's far away, so don't go. "I shouted to my mom that the place to buy groceries is quite far away, and there is no need to go to so many people.
"You only know how to eat, how can you buy any food!" my mother said to me angrily.
"Ouch, what a big deal it is to buy groceries, I won't buy groceries anymore, I'll live so big in vain. I pouted and said dissatisfied.
"The last time your uncle came, he asked you to buy eggs, remember? The eggs were so hard that they couldn't even be broken with a hammer, or they stinked, and they made your uncle count them down, and I didn't dare to let you go grocery shopping anymore. My mother took Ning Meixuan's hand and said, "Xuanxuan is here for the first time, so why do you want to buy the best food." ”
Ning Meixuan hurriedly smiled and said, Auntie, you are too polite.
I went into the backyard and caught a glimpse of the tricycle, which was electric, and I had bought it for a long time, but it looked like it was like new, as if I hadn't ridden it a few times.
The bike next to it was gone, and I knew it was my dad who rode it.
My heart hurt again, maybe it's because it's useless to blame myself, my mom and dad have always been thrifty people, and for the sake of these few cents of electricity, my dad would rather ride a bicycle every day and run dozens of miles.
And my mom kept saying she couldn't ride, she walked everywhere.
Actually, I know that I saw a long time ago that my mom had learned to ride a tricycle, but she kept pretending she couldn't.
They knew I didn't have any money, and they bought the car themselves, just to put my mind at ease.
They kept saying to their neighbors, "This is the car I bought."
I cried all night when I heard my mom laughing and talking to the neighbors.
Now I can't hold back my tears when I think about it, I was stunned, and suddenly, I heard my mother calling me, why is it so slow.
I rubbed my face, wiped my tears, pretended to be relaxed, pushed the tricycle, and walked out.
I pushed the car out of the door and saw my mom locked the door, I smiled reluctantly and said, get in the car.
I was afraid that Ning Meixuan cared about this dilapidated tricycle, I looked at her apologetically, she didn't care, laughed and chatted with my mother, and then helped my mother to get on the tricycle.
Then I rode my car and drove my mother and Ning Meixuan down the street.
When I got to the street and the vegetable market, my mother suddenly called out to me and said, "Tetsuko, come, my mother will teach you how to buy vegetables!"
"I said Mom, what are you teaching me to do grocery shopping? I don't learn. You can buy yours!" I quickly excused myself.
"You can't do it if you don't learn!" In the future, you and Xuanxuan got married, gave birth to a baby, cooked, washed and served their mothers, all counting on you, how can you do it if you don't learn!" My mother said to me with a straight face.
"Mom, you're too wide, what do you want to do so much!" I pouted angrily.
"What do you mean by how wide I am in charge, I have to take care of it! What is it to marry a wife? Marrying a wife is used to hurt, and your virtue as a hanger should also be changed, and you can't do anything! Look at what a good girl Xuanxuan is, you kid should cherish it! You dare to treat Xuanxuan badly, see how I beat you!" My mother pretended to be annoyed and stared at me.
"Xuanxuan, if Zhezi dares to bully you, your aunt will say that your aunt will definitely help you get angry!"
"Thank you, Auntie, Yun Zhe is very good to me. Ning Meixuan said, then turned around and smiled at me.
I wasn't in the mood to laugh, but when I saw my mom glaring at me, I quickly shouted, "Come on, that's what you say!" ”
"Okay, then I'll test you! How do you pick this celery?" my mom asked me as she picked up a handful of celery.
"Of course it's the big one!" I said with a smile, because I often eat bigger ones.
"Poof," Ning Meixuan covered her mouth and smiled.
I asked her what she was laughing at.
"The big ones are all old, can the old ones be delicious?" Ning Meixuan explained: "As for this celery, you have to pick a little more tender, and you have to pick the kind with more leaves." ”
"Why do you want to pick more leaves?" I asked, confused.
"Because the tender celery is not hard and crisp, and the leaves can be used to make soup, which is sour and fresh, and it is particularly delicious. Ning Meixuan said to me with a smile.
"Xuanxuan knows a lot, and at first glance she is an obedient and sensible child, which is really likable. In the future, if Zhezi can't do anything, you have to help your aunt teach him more. My mother took Ning Meixuan's hand again, and I was numb for a while: "Zhezi is just a little lazy, but he has a good temper, he will beat when he should be beaten, and he will be scolded when he should be scolded, he will definitely not fight back." ”
"Auntie said she laughed, how could it be?" Ning Meixuan looked at me with a smile, her eyes seemed to say, you are so strange!
Then my mother pulled me and taught me how to buy vegetables, meat, eggs, and fish...... Wait, my head is big, I feel like I've become a housewife, and after talking about it, I almost forgot about it again.
By this time, it was almost dark.
So we went home.
When I got home, I happened to see my dad coming home.
My personality is similar to my father's, and my father doesn't like to talk, seeing that Ning Meixuan just asked a few words, not much.
But I know my dad, and those few words are full of this concern.
Then, Ning Meixuan went to the kitchen to help my mother wash vegetables and cook.
My mother said she didn't need to help, but Ning Meixuan insisted on helping, and this night, my mother couldn't stop smiling.
I was relieved to see my mom like this. That's what I'm here for.
I was sitting in the living room with my dad, and my dad asked me, "How is it in H City!"
"It's okay, it's good. ”
"Xiaoxuan, this kid is very good, treat people well, you are not young!" My father sat on a chair and looked at me, and said, "There is nothing to do at home, you don't have to worry about it, earn money well, and support the family well!"
"I see, thank you Dad. I said to my dad with a smile.
"Remember, if you have any difficulties, tell your father, this will always be your home! Remember, people are not poor!"
There was a sour feeling in the corners of my eyes, and I didn't speak.
"Dad, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time, so have two drinks today. "I saw that Ning Meixuan bought two bottles of wine when she came, so I said.
I thought, there are not many days like this, and when I spend time with my family, I try to stay as good as I can when I can be happy.
After a while, the meal was ready.
I opened a bottle of wine, took out a glass, poured a glass and handed it to my dad.
At this time, my mother saw it and immediately shouted, "Hey, your dad can't drink, don't give him wine!"
"It's okay, I'll just have two drinks! My dad hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Your stomach is not good, you always have a stomachache, the doctor told you to stop drinking, why don't you remember!" my mom shouted to my dad.
"I'm happy when my son comes back today, so I'll drink two glasses, just two glasses!" said my dad.
"You forgot when you screamed in the middle of the night!" my mom yelled at my dad.
"What do you say in front of the kids?" said my father, taking a sip of the wine, and then laughing at me and saying, "It's okay, Tetsuko, your mother is joking." ”
"Dad!" my eyes were sour, tears were rolling in my eyes, and I held back. I knew that when I cried, my mom and dad would be sad, so I had to hold back.
"When are you and Xuanxuan going to get married!" My dad looked at me after drinking.
"Dad, it's too early to say this!" I was stunned for a moment, and quickly excused myself.
"Tetsuko, your father is old, and your mother is also old! Your mother and I want to hold our grandson as soon as possible, and you are not too young, don't delay. You don't have to worry about money, your dad is here!" my dad said earnestly.
I thought, if my father forces me to marry Ning Meixuan, then it will be over, no, I have to find a way, at least drag it out.
So I smiled wryly and said, "Dad, we're not going to get married at home!"
"What?!!" shouted my dad as he slammed his glass against the table.
