Chapter 178: Start with the hard bones
After I finished saying this, Xiao Lu and her father's face obviously showed a trace of displeasure, and said to me in a somewhat cold tone: "You are all children now, what do you know." What you don't want now doesn't mean that you don't want it in the future, and before you can tell exactly what you want, we as parents will take the direction of your life for you and make sure you move in the right direction, you know? ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't understand, and I don't want to." ”
In fact, I knew that I realized later how correct and reasonable what he said, and I looked back at my ideals after being polished by this society. I found out that it was really bullshit.
I really couldn't understand the meaning of his words at that time, so I kept my head down and didn't speak.
Xiao Lu and her father saw that it didn't make sense for me to say this, so he changed his tone and said, "Then let me ask you, do you want Xiao Lu's future life to be good or bad?" ”
I looked up at him and muttered, "Of course I hope she's well." ”
Xiao Lu's father nodded and said, "That's good, since you also want Xiao Lu to have a good life, then you should listen to my advice and stay away from her in the future, of course, I am also for your good, I heard that you are studying well." Your homeroom teacher also told me that you may be admitted to a prestigious university in the future, and I also heard that your family background is not very good, and there seem to be some difficulties at home, so I don't dare to accept anything else, if you don't have any contact with Xiao Lu in the future, then I can help you with your living expenses and tuition fees for four years of college, and if you come back in the future, I can also help you arrange a job. Of course, if you have any other requirements, just ask, and I will try to help you achieve them. ”
I glanced up at him and felt the person in front of me contort.
After being silent for a long time, I slowly spoke: "Uncle, Xiao Lu is your daughter, not a commodity, please don't use this kind of thing to measure her." ”
Xiao Lu's father smiled and said, "Whatever you think, I'll tell you everything I need to say anyway." Go back and think about it yourself. ”
Without waiting for me to answer, he said, "You wait here, I'll go get something." ”
After saying that, he walked to his car not far away, opened the trunk, and went over to not know what he was holding.
At this time, I noticed that the windows of the car had rolled down. Xiao Lu looked at me worriedly, and I smiled at her and put on a very bright smile.
Her face was a little melancholy, but she still squeezed out a smile at me.
Later, when her father came over, he carried two boxes of gifts, and after he came over, he handed them to me and said, "It's the New Year, say hello to your parents for me." ”
I didn't take what he had in his hand, and said to him, "Uncle, I'll bring it for you, but as for the things, you don't need them, these things are too precious for us to eat." ”
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, shoved it into my hand, and said to me, "Take it, just a little thought." ”
After saying that, he said "goodbye" to me and turned to leave. Buwei ditch blood.
I just watched Xiao Lu go away in the car, and she tried to look back at me, but later I knew that their car was no longer visible, so I turned around and left.
After walking to the trash bin next to the mall, I threw the two boxes of things that Xiao Lu and her father gave me in the trash can just now, but I took the clothes that Xiao Lu bought for me and wanted to throw them in, but then I weighed it, hesitated, didn't throw it in, and turned away.
After lunch, I went back to the countryside with my dad and burned paper money for my grandparents' graves.
This is the rule of our New Year, to go to the graves of our ancestors and previously deceased relatives at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.
According to my father's wishes, my mother was also buried here, and my father insisted on not letting my mother be buried in the cemetery in the city, because my father said that it was too crowded and too cold, and he was afraid that my mother would not be able to stand it.
I kowtowed to my grandparents and then kowtowed to my mother, and when I stood up, I saw my father using a wooden stick to pull the red paper money burned in front of the grave, and a gust of wind blew, and the burned paper ashes flew up, and they were flying far away, far away.
I was staring at a piece of paper money that had not yet been completely burned in a daze, and saw that the fire on its body was bright and dark, fluttering in the wind, like a beautiful butterfly, drifting away in the direction of the sun's afterglow, but it was wiped out in the moment when the wind swept in.
"Let's go."
My dad tapped me lightly on the shoulder and walked back on the hard dirt.
When we got home, it was already dark, and many houses in the community rang out firecrackers from time to time.
When we went home, Xu Yan was busy stir-frying in the kitchen, and the whole room was confused with a strong smell of vegetables.
I went into my room, put on my stomach, turned my head to look out the window, and looked out the window with some distraction at the colorful fireworks that rushed to the sky, and then scattered in all directions, and my heart suddenly swelled with thousands of tastes, including missing my mother, as well as the aftertaste of Xiao Lu's words this afternoon, and also the melancholy for the future.
Later, after the dishes were fried, I went down with my dad and put two whips, and our family of three sat down together for a meal, I accompanied my dad to drink some wine, and said some blessings to each other, seeing him and Xu Yan's faces full of happiness, my heart also felt very warm.
After eating, we watched TV for a while, during which a lot of text messages were sent to my mobile phone, all of which were fox friends and dog friends on weekdays, and of course, Xiao Lu and Zhuo Xiaoyu.
I thought Sister Xuanxuan could also send me one, but I didn't see it later, I was too lazy to reply one by one, so I simply came to a group post, and after I finished posting, I felt a little sleepy, so I went to sleep in my house.
Later, when it was almost twelve o'clock to eat dumplings, Xu Yan called me up again and asked me to get up and eat dumplings, when I watched the New Year's countdown to the Spring Festival Gala on TV, I realized that a year had passed in a blink of an eye, and before I knew it, I was one year older again.
Because I made a mark in advance, so I recognized which ones had coins, I couldn't finish eating them at the time, and sandwiched a few dumplings for my dad, several of which were wrapped in money, and my dad was very happy after eating, saying that our family would be transferred next year, I saw him happy and smiled, but didn't speak.
Later, in such a state of being a gangster, the year was over.
Early the next morning, I went with my dad to go to visit some relatives, my grandparents gave birth to two sons, a daughter, the son is left with my dad, the other in the Kanto when there is no news, and my aunt also married far to the south, after my grandparents are gone, she rarely comes back, so I don't need to go to relatives like others in the New Year, after greeting my dad for the New Year, I found a KFC, called the little fat and them, and asked them if they were busy, and they came over quickly.
Later, after a while, Xiaopang, Long Bangs, Wang Anmin and Big Black came together, and after waiting for a while, the pockmarked face also came.
A few of us found a corner table and sat up, and after one of us bought a glass of Coke, I asked Chubby and Mazi Face, "How are you two talking about it?" ”
Mazi looked around with a very obscene face, and said, "It's almost Brother Mo, I have already told our brothers in the past few days, let them pay more attention when they are free, and the situation is almost the same now." ”
Xiaopang also nodded and said, "I also asked classmates from other schools yesterday, and it shouldn't be a big problem." ”
I nodded and said, "Okay, now that it's all done, let's not delay, and let's hurry up and get it while I haven't gone to work in the past two days." ”
Several of them looked at it, nodded their heads, and said it was no problem.
Mazi faced at that time leaned his face towards me and said, "Brother Mo, you say, who to start with first?" ”
I hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, looked out the window, and said, "I have a bad problem, that is, I like to start with the hard bones." ”
