023 Crying Silently?12:30)
I've been at this school for a semester, and I never seem to have called home.
At that time, mobile phones were a luxury, and almost no students owned them.
To have a PHS is a very awesome thing.
There are 2 dilapidated public telephones in front of the school, and there is a queue of students calling every night.
Suddenly reminded me of some of the plots in "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" in college.
At the beginning of the semester, it didn't take long for the school year to start. I went and bought a 201 calling card, and since then, I have been calling home once a week on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Gradually, it became a habit. One persistence, it is more than ten years.
On the third Friday after school started, I called my mother. She said she would come and see me on the weekend and bring me something to wear.
In our school, we read for 10 days and put 4 days off. I don't have a holiday on the weekend, and naturally I don't go home.
"Brother Feng, I secretly ran out at noon yesterday to buy a plate of good things, do you want to listen?" Li Tao rested one hand in his pocket and fiddled with his single player with the other.
I turned my head to look at him and continued to hold on to my music......
"What?" Li Tao's eyes were a little weird, "Don't dare to be interested? "Zhang Zhen Tells Stories"! Don't listen? ”
I "Whoosh! "What?" Where? Scoop it up! "My face was full of excitement.
Li Tao held the tape and shook it in his hand, "I'll just say, it's impossible for you not to be interested!" Haha......"
I thought my mother would arrive in the afternoon because the school was still some distance from home.
But......
"Knock knock!"
"Who?" Li Tao asked impatiently.
"Knock knock!"
"It's coming! Here it comes! Don't knock! ”
I wore headphones, didn't care too much, and continued to listen to my favorite music.
"Hello! Who are you looking for? Li Tao's tone became polite.
Curious, I lifted the quilt and sat up. "Ahh I opened my mouth wide, "Mom, why are you here?" ”
"What? Are you not happy that I came? Mother said as she put the big bags of things on my bed.
"Where, no, of course happy! Hehe......" I said with a smile.
My mother looked at the repeater in my hand and said, "Yo! I didn't expect you to be quite serious, and you didn't forget to listen to English in the dormitory during the lunch break. How has your English been lately? Has there been any growth? ”
Mother scooped up the repeater and pulled out the headphones, "It's too late yet, I'm going to hold you." Until I see that your wrinkles have signs of age......"
In the repeater, the beautiful "At least there is you" came out......
My mother immediately stayed there and looked at me.
The eyes of love become complicated.
She slowly sat down on the bed across from me, removing the music tape inside, "That's what you're listening to?" ”
I'm stumbling. "No, I just ......"
At that time, I tried to quibble.
Because I saw my mother's uncomfortable appearance, I really didn't want her to be sad anymore.
That year, she was too tired and bitter!
But I didn't lie in the end, because deception will make the people who care about you the most scar for a long, long time......
I nodded in acquiescence, and my mother didn't say anything, but gave me a complicated look.
She looked down and pulled out her shabby pocket, which had been worn for years, and contained a few crumpled coins.
"Give, scoop, buy something you like." My mother stood up and reached out and handed the money to my chest.
The mother's outstretched hand looked a little desolate.
His hands were full of cracks, and a few nails were also cracked, and there were some impurities in the cracks.
I've never looked at my mother's hand so closely, except for this moment.
That's when I realized how hard my mother worked for me and this family.
"Mom, I still have it, that's enough. You keep the money for yourself. I took my mother's hand and gently pushed it back.
"If you want to scoop it, you will scoop it, and it will be long-winded." With a fake smile on her face, my mother broke my hand and shoved the money under my pillow.
"Don't forget to eat on time, I'll go first, and remember to bring your dirty clothes home next time." My mother didn't look at me, she went straight to the door.
"Mom!" I was flustered, and I knew that my mother's appearance was not the same as usual. I quickly got up, barefoot, and chased after him.
There's no one outside,
How could it be so fast?
I searched around and finally saw my mother around the corner of the dormitory.
I hid behind my back, full of guilt.
"Woo...... Hmm~~"
In the corner, the mother sobbed quietly.
I turned around gently and looked at my mother's back, old, old......
The mother's body is already a little rickety.
Rickets should not belong to the age of thirty.
I turned and leaned against the wall on the other side of the corner, looking up feebly at the otherwise clear sky.
Tears, more than tears......
Years later, every time I think about it, my heart aches.
After experiencing a lot of things in the world, I realized that the pain of being able to cry out is not the most painful.
The most painful thing is the legendary: crying silently.
