Chapter 8: Goodbye Mom
After descending the mountain, Wan Chuer spent five cents to get on a bus, and half an hour later, she arrived in the south of the city.
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Bai Zhixi, who was sitting on a small pony, bowing her head and mending her shoes.
Wan Chu'er stood silently at the bus stop and looked at Bai Zhixi for a while.
A blue robe, or Bai Zhixi's work clothes when she used to work in the glass factory, is very durable, it has not been broken for so many years, her hair is a little messy, it is estimated that the wind blows, you can vaguely see a few silver threads, there are some wrinkles on her face, her hands holding tools and broken shoes are extremely rough.
Bai Zhixi should only be 36 years old this year, but she looks like a 40-year-old person.
Wan Chu'er felt sullen for a while, and then she raised her head, no matter what, Bai Zhixi is still there!
She walked over, and when she approached, her palms were a little hot, Wan Chu'er raised her eyes to look nearby, so she turned around and walked towards a stall selling steamed buns.
"Two buns, a bowl of porridge. Wan Chu'er succinctly put forward the request, according to the price on the sign next to her, took out a dollar from her pocket, put it on the stall owner's car, picked up the bun, picked up the bowl and left.
In a hurry, the stall owner shouted in the back, "Hey, my bowl, the bowl can't be taken away." ”
Wan Chu'er frowned and stopped, she turned around and said, "Don't go far, I'll send you back in a while." Then she pointed to Bai Zhixi's shoe repair stall.
Bai Zhixi, who lowered her head to mend her shoes, heard Wan Chu'er's voice, raised her head suspiciously, and after seeing clearly that it was really her daughter, she stood up suddenly, walked over in two steps, and asked eagerly: "Chu'er, why did you come here, what is going on on your face? Who beat you again? Go, Mom will take you to find the person who beat you, don't be afraid, Mom will definitely give you justice." ”
Seeing such an eager Bai Zhixi, Wan Chu'er felt a little uncomfortable, and she frowned.
Bai Zhixi thought that Wan Chu'er was annoying her again, so she quickly softened her tone and begged: "Chu'er, you just take your mother to find those people, your mother promises you, you will never dare to bully you in the future, you always endure like this, they will be endless, seeing that you are always hurt, my mother is heartbroken....."
Wan Chu'er lowered her eyes for a moment, then looked at Bai Zhixi and said, "I bought you steamed buns and porridge, you eat them first." ”
"Huh?" Bai Zhixi noticed the things in her daughter's hand at this time, and she looked at the nearby bun stall.
The owner of the bun stall happened to look at them, and said with a smile: "Big sister, this girl was originally bought for you, eat it, it's not enough, I'll add another spoonful of porridge to you." ”
He is very familiar with Bai Zhixi, who mends shoes, in a day, he has never seen Bai Zhixi eat, at most two sips of water, and he also muttered to his family, this woman who mends shoes is really hard-working and hungry. Now that he saw someone buying food for Bai Zhixi, he was naturally willing to take the opportunity to show a trace of kindness and scoop up an extra spoonful of porridge, which was no loss for him.
Bai Zhixi reacted, thanked her with a smile, and wondered Wan Chu'er's actions, so she had to take the bowl in her daughter's hand, and then returned to the shoe repair stall.
"Chu'er, you ......"
"Eat!" Wan Chu'er interrupted her mother's words, held the bowl with one hand, raised it to Bai Zhixi's mouth, and motioned for Bai Zhixi to open her mouth to eat.
It was rare for her daughter to be kind to her once, Bai Zhi swallowed what she wanted to say, and quickly opened her mouth to drink a big mouthful of porridge.
At the end of September, the north was already cold, Bai Zhixi, who had been sitting for a long time, was already cold, after a mouthful of hot porridge into her stomach, her heart and body warmed up, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Seeing Bai Zhixi's eyes moist, Wan Chu'er's cold heart couldn't help but soften, and she rarely explained: "My injury is not serious, today I beat the people who beat me before, and they won't dare to beat me anymore, don't worry." ”
Bai Zhixi opened her mouth wide in surprise for a moment, just when did her rebellious daughter explain to her, and her tone was so gentle, she couldn't help but raise her hand to touch Wan Chu'er's forehead.
Wan Chu'er subconsciously leaned back, dodging Bai Zhixi's hand, her face was cold, she was really not used to being so close to people, as if she had been rebellious since she was a teenager, until she got married, then she divorced, and finally died in the mouth of the shark, she was treated coldly.
So even if she knew in her heart that the person in front of her was kind to Bai Zhi, even if she wanted to be kind to Bai Zhi, the habits she had developed in her twenties still made her subconsciously avoid Bai Zhixi's intimate touch.
was avoided by her daughter, Bai Zhixi was not sad, but breathed a sigh of relief, Chu'er was still the same Chu'er, and she didn't have a fever. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good to beat up, there will still be people who want to bully you in the future, even if you beat it back, even if you kill someone, your mother will hold you." ”
Mothers always prefer their children to bully others than to be bullied.
Listening to Bai Zhixi's words, Wan Chu'er raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't expect that her mother, who was always yelled at by her in the past and shrunk her shoulders and looked weak, could say such a thing, she hooked the corners of her mouth, it seems that she doesn't have to worry about Bai Zhixi's loss.
Then she smiled bitterly in her heart, as if the person who gave Bai Zhi a hardship had always been her biological daughter.
Bai Zhixi put her mind on her daughter again, and said: "Mom is not hungry, have you eaten, you can eat the buns, the buns here taste quite good, many people come to buy them every day, and the smell is fragrant." ”
As soon as I heard this, I knew that Bai Zhi was not willing to buy it once.
Wan Chu'er's heart was astringent for a while, she stuffed the two buns in her hand into Bai Zhixi's hands, and said with a straight face: "This is what I bought for you, you can eat it if you want to eat it, I have eaten it." ”
Wan Chu'er's heart moved, and after thinking about it, it seemed that she didn't eat either, usually after she went home at night, Bai Zhixi cooked for her.
Today's money was taken away by Liu Li early in the morning, just now she should have rummaged through Liu Li's pocket first, maybe she could still find it.
Forget it, wait for her to rest at home for another day tomorrow, accompany Bai Zhixi, and go to school the day after tomorrow to clean up Liu Li.
Bai Zhi smiled sweetly, ate the buns and porridge that her daughter bought, and after eating, she asked Wan Chu'er to sit in the shoe repair stall and wait, she returned the bowl herself, and smiled and declined the kindness of the owner of the steamed bun stall to add a spoonful of porridge.
In Bai Zhixi's kind smile and tolerance, Wan Chuer impatiently told her about today's fight with Liu Li, reluctantly said a good word about An Lian, and also told Bai Zhixi that she would have a day off at home tomorrow.
Bai Zhixi was worried about Wan Chuer's injuries, and agreed with a smile, and when Wan Chuer urged her to close the stall, she also happily agreed. The mother and daughter took all the tools they needed to repair their shoes and got on the bus home.
