Chapter 6 Eight Days Is Too Short
Lung Yingtai wrote an article "Desert Rose". It was a lichen from Israel www.biquge.info and it was a withered, dead grass in the hand, but if you soak it in water for eight days, you can see it completely resurrected. Over the course of eight days, it gradually regains its green color and gives off the smell of moss until it opens up plump and fresh in the container in which it is held.
When he read this text for the first time, Gu Yu was moved.
Now, she's found a home, but she doesn't know how long she'll be given to turn into a plump vegetable.
Mom said, let's go, let's go to Xidan to buy clothes, you can do whatever you want. She refused.
It's not that she doesn't want it, it's that she's scared to try on clothes one by one. She has seen the clerk's eyes on people, whether they are despised or flattered, she can't accept it either.
Mom said, let's go, let's go get a new haircut, your hair is too thick. She refused.
The reason is the same as above. Although she has always been careful and thoughtful in her care, she can't bear it when others treat her in the same way.
It's a psychology that's hard to explain to people. She thought, she needed time. Eight days, no!
So, accompany your mother to go for beauty! Mommy is so tired and needs to take a break!
She couldn't refuse.
Mom needs her company, and she also needs to adapt to life with her again.
The beauty place is on the ground floor of the hotel where they are staying. Mom walked in and was served like a queen mother.
Really, this is how the Queen Mother on TV is served.
She sat on the couch and watched her mother lie down, and a technician in a pink suit sat next to her, smearing all sorts of things on her face one by one. The technician wanted to chat with the customer, which was probably what the service should be, but as soon as he said a few words, his mother said, "Don't say anything, I don't want to hear anything." The technician smiled embarrassedly and shut up.
Gu Yu was embarrassed for that technician. Serving others is like that, she has experienced a lot, she is disliked, she is reprimanded.....
For beauty, Gu Yu has seen but has not tried it, she thinks, this is all knowledge for her, she is with her family now, and this will also be her life in the future. So she watched and studied with her heart, but when she looked at it, she was blind.
The room was too warm, too quiet, and the scent of care products was so intoxicating that she snored.
"Ahh
"Gu Yu, Gu Yu! Child! Child! ”
Lu Wenfang hugged her daughter, shaking and slapping, Gu Yu woke up, first stunned, saw that it was her mother, and gradually calmed down. She raised her hand and touched her forehead, it was all sweat!
Just now, she dreamed of Mother Fu, the old lady Niu she cared for, her landlord and the bubbling faucet, and of course, Yang Decai's eyes, all kinds of things overlapped, and she woke up again.
Now, Mom's hair has been combed again, and she is radiant, no longer gray and dull during the day.
"Mom, I'm fine! …… It's just a dream, I dream that the water pipe has burst, and I can't clean it up! She said as plainly as she could.
"Good! Let's go back to our room and rest! Mom didn't say anything else, just nodded.
That night, she slept in the same room with her mother, and it was in a double bed.
This is Mom's arrangement, Xia Zhi, Bai Lu and Dad, the three of them have a suite. Mom said, the three of you make love, and I'll make love with my eldest daughter.
In fact, Gu Yu is not used to someone lying next to her, and she is also not used to this snow-white and soft bed. But when her hand was grabbed by her mother and placed on her fleshy belly, her heart settled.
"Gu Yu, sleep! The past is over, and you will get better and better in the future! ”
"Hmm!"
"Or, go back to Ningxia with your mother, go to school first, and get along with your younger siblings for a while. If you are not together, you are always like a living person. Mom wants you to be affectionate! ”
"I ......"
Gu Yu is not used to rejecting others, let alone the kindness from his mother. However, her heart was so confused, and so much information suddenly poured into her mind today, like a swarm of wasps, "buzzing" overhead, leaving her with nowhere to hide and unable to drive away.
"Mom, why did you get divorced?" After thinking about it, she asked the question.
"Well...... that's a long story!" Lu Wenfang sighed softly in the darkness. "Originally, life was good, but at that time, although the two of us were always arguing, but it was the same as the neighbors, because of some trivialities. However, you lost your ......, your grandmother blamed me for not taking good care of the child, and your father used to help others when I was on the goods, which delayed the time. Your grandfather is suddenly ill and needs someone to take care of him in the hospital, just in time for your aunt to give birth in Japan and can't come back to take care of her,...... There are also fruit and vegetable stalls and clothing stores at home, in short, everything is gathered together, and it is like a chaotic camp, and it is impossible to manage it......"
"At that time, there were some neighbors who were helpful and some who were gossiping. Xia Zhi was only four years old, and when he came back to learn how to speak, a man took a popsicle and took his sister away. Others said that the boss of the Lu social family, someone took a popsicle and took her away! It's so ugly, I can't get angry, I'm going to quarrel with people......"
"At that time, I felt like I was going to collapse every day, and I wanted to break down everything I wanted......"
"I want to beat, your dad is just like me! The two of them started talking and talking, as if neither of them wanted to go down......"
Later, he drank alone, regardless of the shop. Drink with others and don't come back in the middle of the night. Later, he gambled money, and he actually took the money to gamble on credit, and let the family carry it back, blocking the door to ask for the account!"
"Our Lu family's reputation has always been very good, let him get ......, it's too difficult to do business!"
"At that time, there were also people who helped us, such as Hou Lingshan, do you remember? When you were a child, you called Uncle Monkey. He was my mother's junior high school classmate, two years older than my mother, and they lent us money to tide over the difficulties and helped us get the goods with his own reputation. Your dad is careful, if we have something together, he wants to fight with me. Later, I was found out to have an STD, which made it even more confusing. I suspect that he is not clean, and he suspects that I am on good terms with Uncle Hou......"
"In short, life is very sad, together either I died at his hands, or he died at my hands, simply, I divorced him, took Xia Zhi and Bai Lu out, and left Wenzhou."
"It's been 12 years since we left Wenzhou. I'm half Ningxia now! ”
Lu Wenfang was no longer excited just now, and at the end of the story, her tone was calm, like someone else's story. Gu Yu burst into tears when he heard this. She reached out and touched it, and her mother's face was also wet.
"Mom, it's me who is not good, if it weren't for me......"
"Kid, what's wrong with you?" Lu Wenfang put her daughter's hand back into the quilt and said guiltily: "We were really too busy back then, and we didn't take a good look at you!" …… Back then, everyone was busy making money, comparing neighbors from side to side, and when you can't find it back, we know what's the use of comparing to those?! ”
"Mom."
"Huh?" Gu Yu's eyes couldn't be seen in the dark, but Lu Wenfang knew that her daughter was looking at her.
"Can you remarry Daddy?" Gu Yu plucked up his courage.
"Gu Yu,...... Don't ask this question. You don't understand how hard it is to go back to the old days after hurting each other! Moreover, mom doesn't lack anything now, and with him, there will be a lot of trouble. …… I don't want to! At least not now!"
"Oh." Gu Yu snorted like a mosquito.
"Sleep, you just remember, you have a father and a mother, they used to be good, and now they love you enough."
……
That night, Gu Yu fell asleep to the sound of his mother's beating. Gu Yu didn't understand why she was nineteen, and her mother still treated her like a child. Maybe in her mind, she is still the same as when she was six years old.
It would be nice to be six years old again!
