When a person's state of mind changes, the scene in front of him changes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Back in Wenzhou, Gu Yu felt that the city had become different. Although her home when she was a child was demolished, her father pointed to an old telephone pole on the corner of the street and said that our family used to raise that black tiger and always liked to pee there. She wondered, had the family ever had a dog before? How could she not remember? But even though she didn't remember, she still thought that the pole had something to do with her.
When passing by a garment shop, my father greeted an old man with a bare head inside: "Qianbo, here is a rest!" The man put down the cup full of tea dirt, showed a mouth of black teeth, smiled, and said, "Business is not good, so I have to rest!" Dad shook his head and said, "How can business be bad?" Who doesn't know that your craftsmanship is good, and there will be business coming to you in a while! The man smiled, and took up his cup and drank his tea, looking confident.
Dad whispered to her: "This Qianbo, his eyes are not good now, and there are many people who have asked him to make cheongsams in the past!" His aunt's wedding clothes were made by him, and at that time, she only wore them and shook them in front of our eyes, and I thought it was so beautiful, so I thought that when your mother's belly was not so big, she would also make a dress to wear. However, she gave birth to the three of you ...... in one go. Now, I'm afraid she can't even look down on Qianbo's craftsmanship! …… Now that you're back, if one day you're engaged, Dad will ask Qianbo to order one for you, beautiful, with a lot of flowers on it......
Gu Yu smiled, and in his father's chatter, the garment shop that had just flashed in front of him and the bald Qianbo also became cordial.
"At that time, the city was rebuilt and demolished, and my grandfather didn't move, he said that he was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find the original house ...... when you came back, but he couldn't move it, and the whole street had to be re-planned, and he couldn't rely on it. As a result, a few days after moving, I had a stroke......"
"Stroke?" Gu Yu turned his head and asked, "Now...... Okay? She tried to think of her grandfather's appearance, but she could only think of a vague slender shadow, and her forgetting of her grandfather was in stark contrast to his grandfather's longing for her, which made her very ashamed.
"Last fall, ...... another stroke, he died!"
Gu Yu lowered his head and let out a deep "oh".
Last fall, she had already arrived in Wenzhou. However, like a stray cat, she was just thinking about where her next meal would be. Perhaps, when she was sitting on the curb and eating bread, there was her grandfather in the wheelchair that drove in front of her. However, they missed it.
If you miss it, it's a lifetime!
"Your grandmother is in good health. Women, crying and making trouble, thinking that the house will collapse, but it turns out to be very strong! Unlike your grandfather, who was drinking with people the night before, and when he woke up, the kung fu man who looked down for his shoes was gone! ”
"And does she still sell fruit?" Gu Yu used the only remaining memory to talk to his father.
"If you don't sell it, you can't do that business alone. She just plays mahjong and walks around every day! ”
"Oh!" She couldn't think of anything else. Her memories of her grandmother were royal blue shirts, the kind of bright blue.
"Our house has arrived." The father pointed to a residential building in the front right, with orange blocks on its walls. "This is a house that I bought after the demolition, and it is now 10 years old. Our family lives on the fourth floor, and my grandmother's house lives on the ground floor. ”
"Oh!" Gu Yu looked at this warm-colored building and thought, this is home.
The home is a two-bedroom apartment, Gu Yu has no concept of the quality of the house, and when he enters the house, he feels that the lighting is good, and his heart is full of joy.
"Gu Yu, you can sleep in this room, generally it's our grandfather, sometimes ...... He Sangu will come! ”
"He Sangu?" Gu Yu was a little stunned for a while.
"It's just ......," Dad was a little twisted, "Dad has been divorced for a long time, and he lives very lonely and sad alone." Your mother also doesn't agree to remarry......"
"Oh." Gu Yu turned her head, she understood what kind of character this He Sangu was.
It seems that she is going to live with her father's girlfriend, or temporary girlfriend.
That shouldn't be a big deal, right?
She really didn't have this kind of life experience, she thought, as long as she pretended to be well-behaved, she could handle everything. After all, this is Daddy's home!
"Today we're going to buy a bed! …… Oh, now, now let's go to grandma's house for dinner! Have a reunion dinner! ”
So, after putting down the luggage and not taking a sip of water, Gu Yu was pulled downstairs by his father.
Dad took the key and opened the door in the middle of the ground floor, and when the door opened, he saw that there was someone inside.
"Brother, this is Gu Yu?" A woman with her hair draped and slippers approached, holding a lollipop in her hand. Oh my God, she should be about forty years old! Pink from head to toe! Even the socks are pink, with a white rabbit on top.
"Gu Yu, this is your aunt!" Dad said.
"Auntie!" Gu Yu screamed nervously. Seeing people dressed in particularly exaggerated ways, she always felt that people were so far away from her.
This aunt appeared very suddenly, is she the one in Japan?
"Hey, come on, come on, my aunt will give you candy!" The aunt took her hand and walked inside, pressed her down on the couch, and literally took a candy from the candy box for her.
"Shan, hasn't our mom come back yet?" Dad sat next to her and asked questions as he picked out his favorite food from the candy box.
My aunt said, "I haven't come back, I guess I'm in the limelight!" ”
Gu Yu didn't understand this black words, but looking at her aunt's playful expression, she knew that there was no danger.
At this time, she felt a little lost in her heart. Because before getting on the plane, she heard her father report to the family, saying that Gu Yu had been found. At that time, my father was very excited, many people in the waiting hall were looking at him sideways, and even the people in the seats next to him were infected by his enthusiasm, why didn't the people in the family take it seriously?
She rubbed the candy wrapper in her hand and saw that it was a durian candy. I haven't eaten durian, I heard that it is very smelly and expensive, and she can't decide whether to try it or not, if it is difficult to eat, will it make her aunt unhappy if she spit it out?
Let's not peel it yet!
Actually, she would like to drink a glass of water more now. She looked at her father, hoping he could help her.
Dad patted her and motioned, "Eat, pick what you want to eat from the box!" Oh, your aunt has a lot of snacks, plum and apricot meat, ......"
She had to smile at her father, she was still not used to saying her needs in front of outsiders.
My aunt put a fashion magazine in her hand and began to chat with the computer, she didn't need to play by hand, the whole voice chat was full, a while Japanese, a moment of English, a moment of Wenzhou dialect. Gu Yu looked at the clock on the wall, normal people, shouldn't they be busy in the kitchen at this time?
Are they going to eat out?
Well, wait a little longer!
When "Fashion Garden" was flipped to the second time, the door opened and a fat old lady came in. Gu Yu looked at his father nervously and quickly stood up.
"Grandma!"
The old lady stood still, looked her up and down a few times, and then showed a smile and said, "It's so big!" If your mother had been optimistic back then, how could she have let you be out for so many years! After saying that, he still shook his head angrily.
These words made Gu Yu not know how to pick up, neither standing nor sitting.
Dad took his eyes off his phone and said, "Mom, you've just come back, we're all hungry!" ”
"Hungry you won't come into the kitchen to cook? …… A son is not a son, a daughter is not a daughter, just wait for your mother! ”
As she spoke, she sat down, took out a sample of almond dew from under the coffee table, opened it with a "crash", and drank it with a clatter.
Gu Yu swallowed his saliva.
When the old lady had finished drinking, she threw the empty can into the paper basket and then stood up.
"Let's go, let's go out to eat and welcome Gu Yu!"
Dad stood up and said to his sister Zhang Luo: "Let's go, Shan, go to Sesame Open the door to eat Haidilao!" I've eaten shabu-shabu in Beijing for several days, but I still haven't eaten enough! ”
"What to eat, I'll lose weight, you guys go!" The pink aunt didn't look back. She then stared at the screen again in Japanese, chattering, like a flattering Japanese geisha in an anti-Japanese war drama.
"Kill you!" The old lady threw away a sentence in dissatisfaction, and took the wallet and prepared to go out.
"Oh, Mom, don't! Wait, she eats with you, and I don't have to cook for her! My aunt said anxiously.
The old lady sat down again, and told her son about his cards.
"Xin Lao Wu is too stinky, you say he's not nonsense, and he fights randomly, which makes the wind direction bad for me here! …… There's a whiteboard in his hand and he's still pinching it, and he didn't throw it away in the end, don't you say it's a deliberate mess? No wonder he can't do anything! ”
Dad looked up from his phone and said "um", which was a response.
"That He Sangu is too, eat when you see the cards, and don't count the calculations, the whole child is short-sighted, change me, how can you play him a dragon in that hand!"
……
Gu Yu looked at the clock on the wall, usually people should have finished washing their pots, right?
The candy in her hand was still clutched. The candy box contains coconut candy, orange candy, plum candy, coffee candy, chocolate candy, peanut nougat, and prawn crisp. She had eaten some of the sugar, most of which she had not.
She couldn't eat sugar at the age when she wanted to eat sugar the most, and now ,...... Didn't think about it that way.
The aunt who lost weight chatted for a while, then came over and picked up a lollipop, and continued to talk. As she talked, she licked lollipops at the screen and spoke English in a delicate voice.
Gu Yu peeked at her father, his eyes were still on the phone screen, and she had to flip through her fashion magazines again.
"Bell—" The phone rang.
Granny lifts her chubby ass to answer the phone. Well, he said a few words, and turned around and said, "Haruko said that her classmates had birthdays, and she won't come back to her classmates." ”
My aunt giggled as if she hadn't heard.
The old lady said to her son, "Then let's go!" Hey, people are old, and they don't want to move at this point! ”
As she spoke, she grabbed her wallet again, and wrinkled her eyebrows as if she was tired of her children.
Gu Yu looked at her father who stood up, there were already tears in her eyes, but she couldn't cry.
"Don't go!" Dad took her hand and squeezed it tightly. "Mom, you rest, let's go out to eat!" After saying that, he took her hand and left.
That night, the two of them ate noodles. Dad took care of her for many years and lived in the north and ate noodles with her.
On the way back, passing by the supermarket, my dad bought somen and instant noodles. Dad said that when he was not at home, she could cook noodles if she wanted to.
"What do you need for girls?" Dad asked.
She shook her head. I'm still in the middle of it, and I can't think of anything for a while.
"Then we'll go buy a bed!"
The two of them went to buy a bed. There is a pink bed that is on sale, Dad lay on it and tried it, and got up again to let Gu Yu try it, Gu Yu just sat on it and tried it, and nodded.
To be honest, she doesn't think it makes much difference what bed she sleeps in, because she was a child who grew up sleeping on a hard bed. Here is Maimang, there is Mianmian, they often put their feet on her stomach, sometimes in the middle of the night when it is cold, only to know which of them dragged the quilt away, so they have to hold them and continue to sleep.
"Gu Yu, is this all?" Dad excitedly confirmed. "Little girls love the color pink."
Gu Yu nodded again.
Actually, she prefers plain blue. Pink, too squeamish, always want to be hugged, but if you stretch out your arm and no one answers, wouldn't you be disappointed?
The clerk said that the delivery man was off work and would not be able to deliver the goods tomorrow.
Dad said, "Well, my daughter hasn't slept yet!" You ask the delivery man to come, and I will add another delivery fee to him, fifty, and you ask him if it is enough!
Fifty, send a bed, which is already a very expensive delivery fee. Gu Yu looked at his father and wanted to tell him, forget it, tomorrow will be tomorrow. However, she still didn't say.
Because the father is very insistent, he must let his daughter sleep in this pink bed today.
The extra delivery fee encouraged the delivery staff in the store, and finally, at Dad's house, there was a bed of Gu Yu's own.
She was lying on her new bed, covered with a pink quilt. I can't sleep all the time.
There were a lot of new shirts stacked next to her bed, presumably from her father's shop. Originally, this house was like a warehouse.
The windows are going to be wiped and they are really dirty.
The cabinet is also going to be tidied up, it's really messy there.
There are also white spots left on the floor from the renovation. How many years? Decade! I haven't taken care of it well for ten years, and my dad has spent ten years like this!
She decided to start tomorrow and let their father and daughter live a normal life.
