99 Those misunderstood pasts
Dawn forced herself to recall the memories that had been sealed for a long time, and those memories were slowly pulled out, and pictures appeared in her mind.
She remembered that it seemed that when her mother said that she was divorced, she looked at her with sad eyes, probably because her eyesight was not good at that time, she couldn't distinguish her specific location at all, but just looked at her with a little light, and she had already been pained, hated, and filled her mind, and she had never thought about these things in detail.
"Do you remember that lady? It was my mother who asked me to secretly go to see you, and when I saw that my sister had no one to take care of, my mother asked me to give the money to my aunt and let my aunt take care of you, and my mother also called my father and asked him why he didn't care about her daughter, and the two had a big quarrel and never contacted each other again. She asked me to come and see you every month to see if you were doing well, the money I asked for from you was used to buy her medicine and eat, and my stepmother would not give me extra money at all, do you know how miserable she is? Lying in a bed every day, even if I don't eat anything, my weight is rising vigorously, holding the photos of the two of us every day, crying, my eyes are now completely invisible, these years, I am the same as my sister, I am also a person, my mother said, your health is not good, don't let me sue you, just put all the things on my head. ”
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Dawn turned her head and shook Shengying's arm.
"She won't let me sue you! When you were hospitalized for the first time, she couldn't see anything, and she didn't want you to see her, so she said such cruel things on the phone, and later, let me send you the only money she had, if not. Mom is sick, I won't tell you, I'm afraid, you won't see her for the last time, and you will misunderstand her for a lifetime, and you can't leave with a trace of comfort when she leaves. ”
"Mom said that she thought at the time, if you are sick and add you, Dad will abandon you. So when you sign the divorce agreement. Leaving you to Dad, I'm afraid of the family, Dad can't afford it. ”
It turned out that the mother did not abandon her at this moment. Dawn suddenly hoped that her mother had really abandoned her. Then at least she's alive and well. Then her heart won't be as sad as it is now!
"Take me to see her!" She said.
Sheng Ying wiped away her tears and took her with her, in a simple room. There was no light around, and the whole space could only accommodate one person, and if it weren't for the slight coughing sound inside, she wouldn't believe that there was really someone inside.
"Shengying, you're here, how is your sister?" The man on the bed heard the footsteps, raised his hand, and asked.
Shengying took the flashlight, put it in Chenxi's hand, and walked forward with her, the room was filled with the smell of heavy mustard, where Chenxi's flashlight went, she saw the head of the bed, and she put half of the leftover steamed buns within reach, which was already dry and had no moisture, and her flashlight went up and shone on her body.
Compared with when she left home, she was fatter, her whole belly was bulging high, like a pregnant woman in a big month, her body had a little rancid smell, her face was like a shriveled eggplant, there was no luster anymore, it was wrinkled, and her whole body was unevenly swollen, like a balloon that had been blown up.
Chenxi was distressed to see it, she reached out and touched her dry face, wrinkled without a little moisture.
"Shengying, how is your sister? Don't spend money on me, my body I know, I'm like this, it's better to be alive than dead, I can still see a little at the beginning, but now, I can't see anything, it's difficult to turn over, Mom, it's more uncomfortable to be alive than dead. Tears fell from the dawn as she listened, dripping onto the back of her hand.
"Your sister is also loved now, I don't have to worry about it, you have grown up and can take care of yourself." She seemed to have trouble breathing, gasping sharply with every few words, and her voice was muddy, as if her tongue couldn't be extended.
A woman who is only in her fifties is no better than a ten-year-old lady.
Chenxi stood up, pushed open the door and walked out, and then asked Shengying, "She's like this, doesn't Gao Yang know?" ”
"At first, I was in charge, but later, my father remarried, and my stepmother knew about it, so I didn't let my father help my mother, and from then on, I couldn't go and ask you for money."
Chenxi had a hard time accepting these things, stroked Shengying's head, and said, "Do you know, where Gao Yang lives now?" ”
"I've been to my stepmother's house."
"Take me!"
When Chenxi and Shengying went to Lin Qing's residence together, they happened to see Gao Yang sitting on the sofa by the window at the window, watching TV, even if they hadn't seen her for four or five years, she could still recognize her father's back at a glance.
It is said that flesh and blood are connected, and some invisible things cannot really be broken if they are broken.
Lin Qing is the first floor of the whole building, the noisy sound in the TV, through the half-open glass window, Chenxi picked up a big stone from the ground, smashed it on the glass, with a bang, she saw the sound of the stone through the protective fence, breaking the glass, and falling on the floor of the house.
"Who's this?" Dawn heard a woman's roar.
Chenxi and Gao Shengying stood there still, then looked at Gao Yang and turned his head, looked at them with a look of surprise, and said, "Shengmei? ”
She has always felt that her nickname is called out of her parents and her friends, but at this moment, when she heard her father's call, she was full of resistance in her heart.
Lin Qing rushed out with Gao Yang first, and opened his mouth to scold, "Why are you smashing other people's glasses, what should you do if you hit people!" Shengying, who is this, sick her! ”
Her eyes were tightly on Gao Yang's body, watching him walk out, and then yelling at him, "Gao Yang, your wife is going to die, do you know?" ”
"What nonsense, if I hadn't looked at you and sued you, would I have let people arrest you a long time ago?"
"Catch, you have the ability to let your father catch his daughter." Dawn was like a wolf dog at the moment, eager to pounce on the two of them and bite them, and then look at their bloody wounds.
"You stand back, I'm not here to find you, Gao Yang, follow me!" Chenxi took a step forward and yelled at Gao Yang.
"Do you talk to people like that?"
"Your wife is dying, Gao Yang, can't you go with us!" Dawn roared.
Hearing Chenxi say this, Lin Qing suddenly grabbed Gao Yang's arm tightly, and then said, "Gao Yang has nothing to do with that woman, go, Gao Yang, let's go." ”
"Daddy! Are you going to follow us! Dawn bit her lower lip, her lips trembling, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
Gao Yang was still hesitating, Chenxi clenched his fists tightly, and roared, "You abandoned me and our family at the beginning, after so many years, Gao Yang, do you really live with peace of mind?" Haven't you ever felt guilty? ”
"What are you guilty of, there are many divorced people!" Lin Qing protected Gao Yang and said.
"Dad, Mom is dying, go see her!" Shengying cried.
Gao Yang pursed his lips and looked at Shengying and Shengmei who were standing against him with a hostile look at him.
"Let's go!" Gao Yang broke free of Lin Qing's hand and shouted chaotically.
"Gao Yang, Gao Yang, if you leave today, don't go back to this home!"
"Shengmei, how have you been doing all these years?" Gao Yang looked at Shengmei who was speechless on the road and asked.
Shengmei didn't speak, the hand holding the bus was blue, and the father in front of her made her feel both familiar and strange, there were more gray hairs on his head, and Shengmei tilted her head to the side, stubbornly not looking.
When she went, she saw Gao Yang standing behind Lin Qing, facing the sun, the expression on his face dazzled her eyes, cowardly, evasive, at that moment, she suddenly felt that her father was really old, no longer so tall.
The father in my memory is tall, and the man who is never tired of holding her up, and his expression is full of doting, is gone.
At that moment, standing in the sun, she suddenly felt a little sad.
Everyone who is called a 'child' is happy, because no matter how old they are, they still live under the protection of their parents, who hold up a huge umbrella to resist the storm, and when they encounter setbacks, they have the protection and care of their parents, and in their eyes, we will always be a child who will not grow up.
Because only in the eyes of parents, no matter how old you are, you are still their child, you need to be taken care of, you need to care, and you are sincere.
"Holy beauty!" Gao Yang hesitated for a moment and shouted.
Chenxi stubbornly walked in front, opened the door, and walked in, the room was small, she knew, all the way forward, it was her mother's bed.
"Mom, Daddy came to see you!" The woman's lips trembled, and tears rolled down her eyes.
She's still called Daddy! Because before she could grow up and call her father, her father would no longer take care of her.
It's like a memory of my father, stubbornly staying in that youthful age.
The woman on the bed rolled over awkwardly, and then, like a child, curled up slightly, and began to cry.
Shengying moved the stool out of the house, Gao Yang carried her mother out of it with great difficulty, and sat on the stool, she watched her sit on the stool with her head tilted slightly, like a pilgrim who pursued the sun, the white cloudy and lackluster eyes, the yellow liquid flowed, the willow trees flashed back and forth blocked the light, her figure looked particularly blurry in the light, and a faint layer of light and shadow was haloed.
Wang Lan stretched out her hand and said in pieces, "The light is here, it's hot in the eyes." It's been the first few years, and those who haven't seen the light since childhood, how do you say they live? ”
She didn't mention the events of many years ago, feeling that they were still a family, accompanying their seriously ill mother to bask in the sun in the yard, they were all old, they had learned to give up, they had learned to forget, and they had learned to forgive.
Time is really a good medicine, not that it can heal wounds, but that, over time, those past will precipitate, fade, and it will not be so painful. (To be continued......)
