Chapter 2 I Am Your Father
An old man dressed in Tubula suddenly hugged his legs, saying that he was his own father, and no one could accept it.
Gu Mu said angrily: "Bullshit's father, my father has died a long time ago, even if he doesn't die, it's not like you! Hurry up and get out of the way for me, or I'll call the police!"
"Son, I'm really your father!"
The old man hugged Gu Mu's legs, and cried with tears and snot:
"Your dead dad is fake, he's not your father, I'm your real father. ”
"I've already warned you, if you touch my porcelain again, I'll call the police immediately!" Gu Mu said, took out his mobile phone, and said, "I have the phone number of the police station here, if you don't let go, I'll press it immediately!"
"Son, listen to me, I'm really your father!"
The old man's hand was let go, but he didn't stop, and said:
"Your mother's name is Wang Xiu'e, isn't it? She is from Niutou Village, Dafeng Town, Pingyao County, right? At that time, I was the mayor of Dafeng Town, and she worked as a clerk in the town because she had been studying for a few years. One day I drank too much and had a relationship with her that shouldn't have happened...... As a result, I was pregnant with you, and when the matter was exposed, I was hit hard, and I was scared, so I ran away, so she married a man surnamed Gu in the village......"
"Don't spew blood because my mother is dead, my mother is not that kind of person!" Gu Mu said angrily.
But he also remembered one thing, as if there was indeed a matter of a mayor running away in their town decades ago, as if it was a problem with the style of life.
And, I heard that he did work as a cashier in the town before.
Think about it again, in his childhood memory, his father's attitude towards him was very bad, and his attitude towards his mother was also very bad, punching and kicking at every turn - until he was old and couldn't beat anymore.
When I think about it like this, I feel a little empty-hearted.
"Think for yourself, if your mother hadn't conceived you without getting married, how could she have married a man 20 years older than her?" said the old man.
"You know what a fart...... Gu Mu said with a little weakness, "Love is a ...... that transcends age"
But I think that it is very likely that this is the case, this old man with a garbage bag next to him may really be his own father.
However, even if it was true, he could not accept it.
This old man is quite miserable at first glance, maybe his current profession is to pick up waste, and the garbage bag next to him is his professional tool.
I didn't fulfill my obligation to support him before, but now I recognize him as my son, and I want him to support him, which is too beautiful, right?
I finally left an ancestor, and now I have to take another ancestor to make offerings?
And the ancestor who just left, although he asked for his offerings, his blood was about to be sucked dry, but at least he could sleep with him, what can this old man do now?
If you want to talk about the relationship between father and son, it is even more impossible.
didn't raise him for a day, ruined his mother, left a mess, ran away on his own, and made his mother have to marry an old bachelor who was 20 years older and was always bullied.
Because of the beating and scolding a lot, his mother fell ill while she was pregnant with him, and her health was not good, and she died in her forties.
He wasn't 20 that year.
Of course, this is the sin created by his cheap father, but why is it not the sin created by the old man in front of him who has no responsibility?
It can even be said that this old man is the source of all evil.
So he absolutely can't accept this.
"I knew that I had done something wrong and left you orphans and widows there, but at that time, the news of the crackdown spread, and I was really afraid that I would be arrested and shot, so I fled. ”
The old man said with a handful of snot and tears:
"I know I'm sorry for your mother and son, let your mother pass away so early, and now it's hard to find you, son, let me compensate you well!"
"What to compensate me?" Gu Mu was angry, pointed at him and scolded: "Don't say that what you say is not the truth at all, even if it is a fact, you are not a thing, you have no responsibility at all, what kind of man are you?
The old man was scolded by him with a face full of shame, and said: "You are right, I really don't deserve to be your father, I didn't fulfill my obligation to be a father for a day, and now I just want to make up for it......"
"I don't need your compensation!" Gu Mu said proudly, "Without you, I have lived a good life all these years, and I have been prosperous in this city." I just want you to get out of here right now, right away, mellow!"
The old man said dejectedly: "Okay, I shouldn't have come to you, I'll leave now......"
He stood up tremblingly, glanced at the black garbage bag beside him, lifted it up and handed it to Gu Mu, and said:
"Child, this is a little bit of my heart, it can be regarded as a small compensation for me back then, you can take it. ”
"I don't want your stuff, take it!"
Gu Mu said unceremoniously.
That garbage bag was bulging, I don't know what it contained, maybe it was some flattened can?
- Gu Mu thought so.
He didn't want anything like that.
"Take it, child," said the old man, with a guilty expression, "you give me a chance to make amends." ”
As he spoke, he forcibly planted the garbage bag into Gu Mu's hand, and then hobbled downstairs.
"Take these things from you!"
Gu Mu said, and threw the garbage bag down.
"Smack", the garbage bag of not very good quality fell to the ground and broke all at once.
Bundles of pink paper scattered and shone brightly in the light of the stairwell.
At that moment, Gu Mu's eyes lit up.
It's banknotes!
It's a hundred-dollar bill!
"You...... You're carrying money here......"
His voice trembled.
"The first time we met, I didn't know what you liked, so I thought, just give you a little money, and buy whatever you like......"
The old man sighed, took out a crumpled garbage bag from his trouser pocket, squatted down and put the bundle of hundred-dollar bills into it, and said guiltily:
"I know it's vulgar to give money directly, but I really don't know what you like, so I can only do it, please don't feel offended. ”
Looking at the appearance of this old man squatting on the ground to pick up money, Gu Mu suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful.
It's not easy to think about people, I don't know how much effort it took to find out that he lives here, and then send such a big bag of money.
- There must be hundreds of thousands, right?
He thought to himself.
The old man picked up all the money into the garbage bag, carried the garbage bag, and staggered downstairs, his back looked particularly pitiful.
Gu Mu stood there and looked at his back for a long time—at least two seconds—and then said, "Dad, it's so late, you can stay here for one night and then leave." ”
