The sky during the summer vacation is very blue and cloudless, and the sun is shining brightly, as if everything in the world is beautiful.

Xu Duole lay on his bed where he had slept for many years, looking at the sky outside the window, listening to the croaking of cicadas.

Life really catches you off guard at any moment, and you have no power to resist.

Xu Duole didn't believe that her mother's love for her could reach such a journey, and the day after the phone call, Xu's mother really drove to her school, she originally thought that her mother was just talking, such as saying that she would pick her up after class and so on.

It's not like I didn't say it when I was a child.

I remember that when Xu Duole was a child, her mother said to pick her up from school, she was alone at the gate of the primary school, watching people coming and going, and the parents picked up the children and left, until the sixth grade students waited until they went home and came back to school for evening repair, and the sky changed from bright to gray.

That was the first time Xu Duole saw the process of dusk and sunset so completely, very beautiful, but also very lonely.

Xu Duole sat alone at the doorman, waiting for her mother to pick her up.

is still young, I don't know what a promise is or not, and I don't know if her mother is casually talking or what, she just has to believe it, it's not that she can't go home alone, she has always gone home alone, but she seems to have not had a parent to take it over for a long time, the kind of look at the children with family to pick up, her eyes are envious.

She also wants to sit in the children's chair behind her mother's or father's bicycle and watch the traffic come and go.

So she kept waiting.

Even the doorman asked her, is there something wrong with your mother?

Xu Duole shook his head and said that his mother was busy with something and would definitely come.

Later, it was eight o'clock, and Xu Duole was very hungry.

There was no way, she told the doorman, if her mother came to her, she asked the doorman to tell her mother, and she went home first.

Of course, in the end, the doorman did not meet her mother, and when Xu Duole came home, he saw her mother eating alone, and her expression was not good.

When she saw Xu Duole coming home, her mother asked her angrily, "What are you going to play, you came home so late." ”

Xu Duole was very aggrieved, "I didn't play anything, I'm waiting for you to pick me up." ”

Mother Xu was speechless for a while, she really forgot what Xu Duole was waiting for her to pick up, maybe she remembered it, but when she went downstairs, the group of women who were clearly teaching staff and women in the education industry were actually some outright eight women, and when Xu's mother went downstairs, the group of women stopped her.

Tell her that she saw her husband with which woman she was with again today.

Mother Xu didn't want to pay attention to it, but she couldn't hold back her anger.

Those eight women didn't keep their mouths shut, and continued, "Alas, men are playful, but I see that Mrs. Xu is still in such a good figure, how can you keep Mr. Xu." ”

The other said, "That woman still looks very young, her face is different from us old women, there are no spots, the one is white and tender, moist and moist, not to mention Mr. Xu, even I look at it with envy." ”

"Although it is said that if you have a child, you should pay attention, but after giving birth, there are some things that are different from before."

After finishing speaking, they completely ignored Xu's mother's feelings and laughed again with what they thought was humorous.

Mother Xu was very bitter, sad and embarrassed.

I hate why her husband completely ignores her face, I hate why these women can't keep their mouths shut, these women live in a world where they talk about other people's rights and wrongs, and once they stop talking, it seems that life has lost its fun.

Mother Xu clearly knows that these women just want her life to be difficult, saying that they are comforting and explaining, but in fact, they simply want to brutally tear open your scars with one hand, and then sprinkle salt on them, so as to amuse themselves, but they think they are successful and have a happy life.

But I still can't help but be affected by the content of their mouths, they say that their children have the ability, top classes, good grades, and the content of the third year of junior high school, not to mention how powerful it is, and then ask, what about your daughter?

It coincides with the reform of the high school entrance examination system, the school choice fee has been abolished, and there are no school choice students, that is to say, if the score is not enough to buy a good high school, either according to your score will be assigned to the school close to your hukou, or you will take a single examination of a certain school, but if the score is not good, you still have to go back to the original assigned school.

All of a sudden, it was an era of competition based entirely on strength.

And Xu Duole, whose grades have not been very good, has become the object of discussion among the group of women, and when he sees Xu's mother in the vegetable market, he is about to say, "The high school entrance examination has been reformed, can your daughter have a good high school, I remember that your daughter used to have her grades just like this, and now she is admitted to high school, and the competition is so big, I think your daughter is very dangerous." ”

There are also a few who pretend to be kind and say first, "I know a few good teachers who make up the class, or I will introduce it to you, and you will let your daughter go to make up the class?" ”

When Xu's mother thanked her again and again, they added, "But just make up a subject, oops, this subject is up, and it is still a cripple in the partial department, and it is still difficult to go far." Or, "But he doesn't charge for those who have too bad grades, you know, these tutors also look at the promotion rate." ”

Xu Duole is useless in their eyes.

So Xu's mother has always been very conflicted, she wants to believe in her daughter, but she is always influenced by these people, coupled with her husband's malice and disgust for no reason, she pins all her qi on Xu Duole's body, but she gives Xu Duole less care.

Therefore, when Xu's mother was asked, she could only pretend not to care and said to Xu Duole, "Mom talked a lot with a few aunts downstairs today, so I forgot about it." ”

She can only say this, and she wants to bring the topic to an abrupt end.

She can't sue Xu Duole, sue Xu Duole that her father cheated, and today she was instigated by a few people who saw her to find the adulterer and adulteress, so she didn't pick up Xu Duole, and she completely forgot about it when she saw her husband with other women.

If you pick up Xu Duole, it is a piece of paper in Xu's mother's memory.

The anger of witnessing Xu's father's derailment once again burned this piece of paper to the point that there was no slag left.

Xu Duole has a cowardly personality, her mother lied to her, and if she lied to her, what did adults not deceive, as long as her parents didn't quarrel, it was easy to say, and she went home today, maybe because her mother also knew that she had forgotten to pick her up, and she spoke to her a little more gently.

Xu Duole was too obsessed with this gentleness, she couldn't get angry at all, and the grievances in her heart had long since disappeared.

If she could, it didn't matter if she was deceived by her mother every day, she liked such a gentle mother very much.

Xu Duole also once opened his heart and told Xu's mother that he hoped that his mother could be gentle.

Mother Xu sneered and told her that she had given a lot of tenderness to this family, but she was betrayed and abandoned by this family.

Xu Duole saw Xu's mother's hideous appearance, and hurriedly said that she had not abandoned her mother or betrayed her mother.

But Xu's mother doesn't care about her daughter's feelings at all, her husband's cheating has already pushed her to the brink of collapse, but because of such a small city, there is nothing left after breaking up, maybe because of face, maybe because of her dedication to her husband, maybe she still wants to give her daughter a complete family on the surface, many maybe, Xu's mother has always refused to divorce.

Father Xu has no intention of divorcing, but he also has no intention of stopping cheating, in his eyes, this is not cheating at all, but just a love affair with a confidante, the family is still a family, and the family should not interfere with his freedom and his love.

Xu Duole has never understood, and can only blindly feel the anger and malice that her mother transferred to her.

Try to be the best version of yourself, even though her efforts are worthless and pathetic in the eyes of her neighbors.

Xu Duole, who was lying on the bamboo mat, looked at the sky and thought a lot.

She is disgusted with the city, but she loves the city where she met Zhuo Yiyang, and she wants to make a lot of money one day and take her mother out of the city.

Although she also knew that it was just delusional, her family was not short of money, her mother's business had always been very profitable, and it was not a problem to move out of this faculty dormitory, but her mother was helpless to bite her breath as if she was going to fight with those long-tongued women.

To put it bluntly, you can't see it, you can't let it go.

Xu Duole looked at the sky and listened to the cicadas.

It's another long summer vacation.

When she grows up, she will not be satisfied, if she was a child, she must be very happy that her mother really went to pick her up, and she must have gone to clean up after answering the phone, instead of being like her now, she didn't believe that her mother really came to pick her up, and she didn't pack up much, her mother also went to her dormitory to help her pack her things, and also met Chen Zhaozhao once.

Chen Zhaozhao greeted Xu's mother very politely.

Then Chen Zhaozhao also helped pack up his things, and Xu Duole followed her mother home.

Along the way, Xu Duole looked at the boring scenery on the highway of Susù, Xu's mother seemed to be saying something, but Xu Duole didn't listen, probably just those words that took care of her, and Xu Duole was also distracted.

I still haven't seen Zhuo Yiyang before the summer vacation.

Did you really do something wrong, you should see him before the exam, or you should come out to review together......

Xu's mother was caught off guard, and Xu Duole couldn't find a suitable reason to resist, so be it.

Back in City B, there's nothing I can't think about.

Xu Duole took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the rusty window and the blue sky in her field of vision, and sent it to Zhuo Yiyang.

"I went home, and the sky in my room was very blue and blue."
