Chapter 12: You Run......
The years have not left too many traces on Widow Zhao's face, even if she is dressed plainly and plainly, you can still feel her elegance and grace.
Zhao Jing, who was in front of her, wanted to deliberately widen the distance between her mother and Xiao Sheng. At this time, Xiao Sheng, who bent over and picked up the change scattered on the ground one by one, shouted with a smile after getting up: "Aunt Zhao......"
Before, Xiao Sheng had never understood why the woman in front of him, who was only more than ten years older than himself, was so hostile to himself. It wasn't until someone poked him in the back and said, 'The toad wants to eat swan meat,' that he realized it later.
At this moment, Widow Zhao looked at her vigilant eyes, which really made Xiao Sheng smile bitterly. But after he shouted 'Aunt Zhao', Widow Zhao replied with a smile: "Don't call me like that, it's too old." I call your parents 'uncle and aunt'. Xiao Jing, you have to change your words in the future. You have to call Uncle Dog Sheng......"
Xiao Sheng, who heard this, couldn't help but laugh. It is also true that the second elder of the Xiao family, who has a son, is nearly twenty years older than Widow Zhao in terms of age. According to the age when she gave birth to Xiaojing, isn't it just a generation?
There is no seniority in Chenzhai. I don't know where to start! When the two families intersected before, Widow Zhao would call Xiao's mother an old sister-in-law. But since Zhao Jing and Xiao Sheng got closer and the signs were wrong, they immediately changed their words.
Now that she thinks about it, it should be to stifle Xiao Sheng's evil thoughts from the ethical and moral aspects, right? But doesn't she know that 'godfathers' and 'godgirls' are popular now?
Of course, Xiao Sheng didn't dare to say this in front of 'Sister Zhao'. The appearance of being chased by her carrying a kitchen knife all over the village is definitely not bad......
"Mom......" Zhao Jing, who was a little anxious, interrupted her mother's nonsense.
And Widow Zhao, who was not a good stubble, directly interrupted in a cold voice: "Mom, what mother, you won't go home when you come back, you will go straight here, right? You will take the college entrance examination in six months, how is the review? I see that your temperament has been taken wild." ”
When she said this, Widow Zhao glanced at Xiao Sheng meaningfully. The latter scratched her hair quite embarrassed! At this time, Widow Zhao, who put her hand in her jacket pocket, seemed to be groping for something.
Not to mention Xiao Sheng, even Zhao Jing was afraid that her mother would take out a kitchen knife and come out. With a panicked face, he pressed Widow Zhao's right arm in his inner pocket.
"What are you doing? Are you afraid that I will chop him?" When she said this, Widow Zhao, who also took out a stack of money, handed the money to Xiao Sheng, who was grinning back. Compared with the change given by Zhao Jing, Widow Zhao took out all the 100 yuan bills, but they were a little old.
Xiao Sheng visually inspected it, and it should be about three or five thousand yuan. This is already a huge amount of money for the Xiao family, which is currently heavily in foreign debt.
Just when Xiao Sheng was stunned, Widow Zhao, who gave a 'tsk', bypassed Zhao Jing and came to Xiao Sheng's side. Forced the money into Xiao Sheng's hand, and said quite 'righteously': "Don't delay the old man's medical treatment for the sake of the so-called self-esteem." ”
After saying this, Widow Zhao snatched back the stack of change that Zhao Jing had given. Then stuffed it back to his daughter! Looking at the hundred-yuan bills in his hand, Xiao Sheng, who raised his head, said softly: "Aunt Zhao......"
"Huh?"
"Sister Zhao, my father's medical expenses are really enough. You ......"
"Then keep it for emergencies! The city is not as good as our home, and it costs money to go out. Also, you stay in the city during this time and don't come back. I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, what kind of big-headed ghost ......" After saying this, Widow Zhao pulled Zhao Jing and rushed to her house along the country road.
Knowing what she said later, Xiao Sheng, who wanted to express something, showed a grateful smile on his face. looked at Zhao Jing, who turned back a few times, and Xiao Sheng, who waved his hand, signaled her to 'don't be stubborn, go back quickly'.
During this period, Widow Zhao also turned back once. Xiao Sheng bowed to her respectfully! Without any expression, she turned her head and twisted abnormally 'broken', but Xiao Sheng, who was holding the hundred-yuan bill in his hand, knew that Widow Zhao's apparent 'pungency' was deliberately disguised.
She is protecting herself, and she is also protecting her only hope - Zhao Jing.
Looking at the two figures that were gradually moving away, Xiao Sheng, who turned around, pushed his bicycle and walked towards his farmyard. The indescribable sadness invaded Xiao Sheng's emotions.
It is precisely because of his own lack of excellence that the people around him are so trembling. After going through this incident, Xiao Sheng has never wanted to become stronger like he does now.
Looking at the dilapidated and mottled courtyard gate, at the moment of unlocking the door, Xiao Sheng, who suddenly promised himself, said to himself word by word: "I won't leave if I die." Over the years, you have to pay off the 'principal and interest' you owe me. ”
Xiao Sheng, who made this decision, pushed open the courtyard door, and when he returned to the house, he methodically sorted out the clothes needed for the second elder.
……
Even if he couldn't see Brother Dog Sheng behind him, Zhao Jing, who still turned around in a few steps, clutched the stack of change that was originally given to Xiao Sheng in his hand.
Widow Zhao, who was walking in front of Xiao Nizi, was still chattering there. She kept increasing her tone, and reminded Zhao Jing again and again to have less contact with Xiao Sheng.
Zhao Jing, who knew that her mother was not easy, followed her silently. Behind the seemingly quiet is the heart that is more stubborn than his mother.
"Did you hear me talking to you? There are still six months to go before the college entrance examination, which is very important for you. When you really get out of this backwoods, you'll see ......"
Widow Zhao, who stopped, simply stopped Zhao Jing from preaching. Zhao Jing, who was dressed in a thick jacket, lowered her head, did not answer or refute, and only occasionally pushed the scattered green silk behind her ears.
It wasn't until there was a muffled engine sound in the country road opposite the wheat field that Zhao Jing subconsciously raised his head. When she saw Chen Baldzi, the leader, leading more than a dozen people, driving a farm tractor in the direction of Xiao's house, Zhao Jing's expression became extremely nervous.
"grandma, if I don't kill that kid today, I won't have to mess around in Chen Zhai in the future. His house is in front, and the Gobi in Mari is a little faster......"
Standing on the drag, staring at the pig's head face, Chen Bald, waved the steel pipe in his hand, and roared.
"Mom, are they going to find Brother Dog Sheng?" Zhao Jing, who looked nervous, immediately turned around and asked. At this time, Widow Zhao, who was holding her stupid daughter, glared at her with a cold face.
Widow Zhao, who knew what was going on at the entrance of the village, already knew their whereabouts when she saw Chen Baldzi. She is trying to survive in the cracks, and she really doesn't want to be mixed in. What's more, they are all women!
"Mom, you let go. I'm going to find Brother Dog Sheng......" While saying this, the ordinary and quiet Zhao Jing struggled hard from her mother's pull.
"What are you going to do, what can you do?"
"I can't watch Brother Dog Sheng being beaten by them, right?" Looking at the nervous and serious appearance of his daughter, he was stunned for a few seconds as if he had returned to the former Widow Zhao.
"Mom......"
"Call him and remind him to run ......"
Zhao Jing, who heard this, almost snatched her mother's mobile phone. When looking at her daughter's skillful dialing of Xiao Sheng's phone number, the face of this notoriously pungent woman from ten miles and eight towns became gloomy.
"Brother Gou Sheng, you run away! Chen Bald has led someone to look for you. ”
