Chapter 21 I don't want to say or mention this sadness
When I got home, my father had already left work. I said to my father excitedly, "Dad, I saw a tower under Huo Mountain today. My father asked me, "Where did you go up and see that there is a tower there?" I replied. "You're pretty tall. Father smiled and pouted. "How far is it from here, Daddy?" I asked. "Yo. "It must be about twenty-five miles." After speaking, he looked at his mother. The mother said, "Then, twenty-five miles is not more, and if you go up from here, there is no way to walk, and you have to go around, so it will be far away." Then he looked at me and said, "There's nothing there, it's just a tower, there's nothing to see." "Oh. I replied, "I'll go up there and see when I have time." When I said this, my mother said to me, "Don't go by yourself, it's so far, there are wolves on the road." The mother then said, "If you get lost on the way, you will not be able to come back." ”
An idea was stifled by his parents as soon as he came up, and he knew in his heart that it should be impossible for his parents to take him there.
My father rarely stayed at home without rest, and even when he was at home, I was reluctant to surround him. He always has a straight face and is very serious. And it looks like I'm tired. I still don't know what my father's income was at that time, and I don't dare to ask, although I also have food and drink, but I shouldn't be too rich, and my mother always holds the money very tightly. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any money at that time, but the New Year's money given during the Chinese New Year was 10 yuan, which is the largest money I have ever seen.
My father wasn't as often a bearer as my mother, but it was terrible for him to get angry once in a while. I once asked my father about studying, and my father slapped me, and my nosebleed came out at that time. When my father was angry, he talked to me, but I was all wooden, and I couldn't hear what he was saying or what to do. Sometimes, my mother would say to my father when she couldn't watch from the sidelines, "You make it clear to others." Then my father would calm down and tell me once, and then I would know what to do next or how to answer him. Whenever this happens, my mother always says to my father, "Ang, you want to say it slowly, you can't make it clear." The father did not speak.
My sister is not afraid of her father, she likes to stick to her father, and her father also likes her sister to stick to her, and likes to hold her sister and tease her. When my father hugged his sister, he smiled the most, grinning and showing his white teeth. Parents always say that my sister is very quiet, and I say the same thing when I tell others, and I also say that my sister is also very honest when she is alone. Maybe this is obedient, adults always like obedient children. I think what I like more is not to get myself into trouble.
My father is at home, and I will be much more honest. restrained himself from making a fuss, afraid of his father's slap.
The summer vacation continues, I haven't seen Wang Lei for a long time, and I don't know what that kid is doing. Go to him, the kid is eating ice cream at the door of the house upstairs, the kind he eats should be called ice cream, and the kind of popsicle I usually eat should be called popsicles. He looked at me and shook the ice cream in his hand and said to me, "Torch, my dad bought me a lot, and it's all in the fridge." "I watched and wanted to eat. I don't have a refrigerator at home, so I thought his torch ice cream should be expensive. I didn't know how to answer, so I said to him, "Haven't you been out to play these days, what are you doing?" "Go to my second father and third father, follow my parents." He replied. I'm curious that he has a lot of fathers, and according to him, he has a second mother and a third mother or something. I don't know how much I know, I only have one father and one mother.
"Dragon, it's time to eat. Mom shouted at home. "I'm going home for dinner, and I'm coming to play with you tomorrow. With that, I went downstairs and went home. When I was eating at home, I mentioned to my mother that Wang Lei was eating ice cream and his father was buying ice cream for him and putting it in the refrigerator. When my mother heard this, she said, "Hey, we don't have a refrigerator either." Then he asked, "How much is the torch ice cream?" and the father said, "Two dollars a piece at the stall." "It's so expensive. My mother said, "Would you like to eat?" and my mother asked me. I didn't dare to reply. The mother then said to the father: "This wholesale shouldn't be expensive, right? No, let's also wholesale a little, and put it in Wang Lei's refrigerator." My father said to my mother, "It's just over 5 cents for wholesale." Then he questioned and said, "You put it in someone's refrigerator, and they add it, and besides, there may not be a place in someone's refrigerator, you just talk about it." "Hey, you can't call it a release, just buy less." My mother looked at my sister and me and said, "Eat less, where his brother and sister want to eat, it's cheaper than eating at the stall." "Then buy it." The father said, "Let's see if I have time to wholesale someday." "Where is this stuff wholesaled?" asked my father, "to the west of the mine, not far away." The father replied.
A few days later, I went out to play and came back. My mother said to me: "I bought ice cream for Kai, and I also have a torch, which is stored in the refrigerator of Wang Lei's house, and you can eat it if you want." "I didn't expect my mother to actually buy ice cream. I was embarrassed to go myself, so I asked my mother to get it for me. "What's so embarrassing about that. "Despite what my mother said, she went and got an ice cream for me and my sister.
Ice cream is different from popsicles, not to mention that there is a layer of black chocolate on the outside, and the inside is not as hard as a popsicle. The chocolate is crunchy and sweet inside. Although he sometimes plays at Wang Lei's house, although some of the ice cream in his refrigerator is bought by his mother, he is still embarrassed to open his mouth and go to his house to get it, but he still feels that it is from someone else's house. And Wang Lei's eyes on me also made me feel a little inferior, I always felt that I couldn't raise my head, and I was even more reluctant to open my mouth, although I wanted to eat it very much.
There was a power outage, the ice cream in the refrigerator was completely dissolved, and when I took it out, the ice cream was flattened and shrunk a lot, and the remaining ice cream was eaten by us, and Wang Lei's mother and son also ate it together. Since then, I haven't talked to my mother about buying ice cream, and my mother hasn't been going to wholesale ice cream. Occasionally give me a few cents, and I'd rather buy popsicles to nibble.
When you come into contact with this gap and play together again, you will feel different from before. When Wang Lei was with me, he obviously had a sense of superiority. I'm resistant, but there's nothing I can do. He often had a few cents of pocket money in his back pocket, but I didn't. He buys snacks at the stall and asks me to eat them, I usually say I won't eat them, you can eat them. I would try not to go and see him eat.
There are very few snacks at home, and there is a seasoning called MSG for cooking, and when the adults are not at home, my sister and I will secretly dip some with our fingers and put some in our mouths to eat. I didn't dare to eat too much, for fear that my mother would find out if I had too little. Every time it is very little and very small. MSG is very delicious in the mouth, the bite is crunchy, every time I steal MSG, my sister is looking at me with expected eyes, she is too small to reach, I put my fingers on my sister's mouth to give her to eat, and told her: "Don't tell your parents, don't let them know." My sister nodded obediently and replied, "Yes." ”
At that time, my sister was about to enter elementary school. When school started and I was in the third grade, my sister was going to enter the first grade of school. I don't want my parents to follow me every step of the way, and my sister prefers to follow me, as long as I don't go out to play, she sticks to my side. I rarely saw my sister blamed by my parents before, maybe it was a late neurological development, and my sister who was about to enter the first grade often wet the bed. Because of bedwetting, my sister was often muttered by her mother, "It's too big, why do you still wet the bed! There is urine, you don't know how to pee!" I just watched in amazement.
When my sister eats, she is often reprimanded, she eats very slowly, really slowly, how slow, we all finished eating, went to watch TV for a while, and she was still eating there. provoked her mother to say to her every time: "You can't eat fast, the family is waiting for you." Then he said to himself, "This little girl is really meat." "Meat, this word, it was also the first time I learned from my mother that there were other meanings. My father still dotes on my sister as always, and when my mother says about my sister, my father always coaxes her.
