Chapter 97: The Year of Running Away from Home
After connecting the phone, Lai Hao heard a voice he didn't want to hear: "Xiao Hao, I ......"
"Aunt Zhang, I said that I would pay 50,000 yuan a month, but it's not July yet, right?"
Lai Hao's voice was cold all of a sudden, he didn't have the spirit of Joan of Arc, and he couldn't repay his grievances with virtue like the monks in martial arts movies. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Since an incident happened two years ago, he is reluctant to talk to Zhang Xiaohong anymore.
"No, you listen to me." Zhang Xiaohong was very anxious, and sounded like she was about to cry: "Is Jingjing there with you?" ”
Lai Hao: "No. ”
Zhang Xiaohong: "Then do you know where he went?" ”
"You don't even know about his own mother, how can I know?"
Lai Hao spoke very politely, and talking to Zhang Xiaohong was a kind of torture for him.
Before he was sixteen years old, he had a good impression of Zhang Xiaohong, and he always felt that Aunt Zhang was a warm and generous elder. At that time, Yu Jing often went to Lai Hao's house to play, and Lai Hao also went to the fat man's house a few times, every time Zhang Xiaohong would cook a bunch of delicious food, and before leaving, he reluctantly called Lai Hao to play next time.
Until August 25, 2014, a conversation made Lai Hao completely change his opinion of Aunt Zhang.
During that time, Laihao's family had just had an accident and was in a state of collapse. Yu Jing planned to comfort Fa Xiao and tell him to go to the house for dinner. Lai Hao didn't think deeply, when he was upset, he might be better off having a meal with his friends.
That night, Zhang Xiaohong didn't make any more hearty dishes, and ate gruel, kimchi, and tofu for dinner. Lai Hao still didn't think deeply, and felt that eating porridge on a hot day was quite refreshing.
At that time, the fat man went back to the room to play games after eating, Lai Hao had something on his mind, he ate slowly, Zhang Xiaohong also chewed slowly, and after Yu Jing left, she said a word: "Xiaohao, your aunt is very sympathetic to the affairs of your family, but you see that our family is also very difficult, I can't even afford to eat meat, and I can't borrow some money if I want to borrow you." ”
At that moment, Lai Hao understood that Aunt Zhang was afraid that he would come to borrow money.
The fat man's family is a middle-class family, in order to pretend to be poor, Zhang Xiaohong actually made porridge, kimchi, and tofu, and his routine is amazing.
"Auntie, I won't borrow money from you."
Lai Hao still respected Zhang Xiaohong very much at that time, and left after saying this.
Halfway through his walk, Zhang Xiaohong sent him a text message: "Xiaohao, there are some things that are not easy to say in person." Jing Jing is still young, you can deceive him, but you can't deceive me. He doesn't have much pocket money, and he can't afford to invite you to dinner every day, I hope you won't pester Jingjing again in the future. ”
Seeing that text message, Lai Hao was blindsided for a long time, and it took a few detours to ease the taste.
Zhang Xiaohong's so-called "I can't afford to invite you to eat every day" is because the fat man invited Hao to eat KFC on August 23, and invited him to eat porridge and kimchi tofu on August 25...... In this aunt's heart, Lai Hao is already the kind of gangster who is cornered, rubbed a meal, and unscrupulous.
Lai Hao, who was sixteen years old that year, deeply experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings for the first time in his life, and his fat mother taught him a vivid lesson. That night, he finally understood that Aunt Zhang's passion for him in the past was only because his family had money.
Since then, Lai Hao has never been to the fat man's house again.
He even seriously considered whether to break off his friendship with the fat man, and finally took the initiative to find the fat man who had a heart-to-heart relationship with him every time, so that Lai Hao couldn't be ruthless. He thinks that he is making friends with fat people, and he is not making friends with fat people, and the friendship of more than ten years should not end like this.
If the matter ends here, then you are underestimating Zhang Xiaohong.
While shouting the slogan "Please don't pester my son", this aunt harassed Lai Hao every once in a while. The fat man came home an hour late from school, and Zhang Xiaohong would call to ask Laihao. The fat man sneaked out to play alone for half a day on the weekend, and Zhang Xiaohong would also ask Lai Hao if he had brought the fat man badly. Even if the fat man was bullied outside, Zhang Xiaohong would confidently ask Hao for help, and treat Chef Lai as his son's personal nanny.
What's even more unbearable is that the fat man loses money in gambling, or secretly buys a plane cup or something online, Zhang Xiaohong will feel that all the money has been cheated away by Lai Hao, and all kinds of text messages are sneering. Even when classmates have a dinner, everyone AA system, Zhang Xiaohong will think that Laihao fooled the fat man to pay for it alone.
In general, for two years, Zhang Xiaohong has adhered to the philosophy that if her son performs well, it is because she has taught well. If her son made a mistake, it must be Lai Hao's fault.
In the face of such a wonderful aunt, can Lai Hao chat happily with her?
After calming down in the past few days, Lai Hao is seriously thinking about a question-
Did his father really borrow money from the fat family?
Zhang Xiaohong came to collect debts that day, but Lai Hao didn't say a few words because he was deeply shocked.
Lai Hao was deeply influenced by his father, and a large part of him inherited his father's character, and both father and son starved to death and would not find someone to borrow money. Seeing the IOU signed by his father that day, Lai Hao was shocked by the great father's love. He was thinking at the time, maybe his father didn't want his old face for this family, so he went to the fat man's father to borrow money?
At that time, he was troubled by this emotion, and the more he thought about it afterwards, the more wrong it became.
Since Hao's understanding of his father, the probability of his father finding someone to borrow money is almost zero.
The truth of this matter, Lai Hao is going to wait for the fat man's father to come back from a business trip and find out about it carefully.
Getting back to the point, in the face of Lai Hao's indifference, Zhang Xiaohong did not scold the street this time, but with a begging tone: "Xiaohao, I'll tell you the truth, Jingjing ran away from home!" ”
Lai Hao was taken aback: "When did you leave?" ”
Zhang Xiaohong: "It's noon today." ”
Lai Hao: "He may have gone out to play, don't think too much." ”
"No, he left me a note, he really ran away from home!" Zhang Xiaohong was about to cry: "I can't find him everywhere, Xiaohao, he has the best relationship with you, you should know where he is, right?" ”
Lai Hao: "I don't know. ”
"Jing Jing has lost his temper with me every day at home these days, I just said a few words to him, he took advantage of me to go out to buy vegetables at noon and secretly ran out!" Zhang Xiaohong said with a crying voice: "I called him and turned off the phone, and he didn't reply to WeChat." Xiao Hao, he will definitely contact you, you help me persuade him, tell him to go home, just beg you as an aunt! ”
Lai Hao: "I'll try it." ”
"Don't try, can you close the door for a few days and help me find him?" Zhang Xiaohong made a strange request.
Lai Hao was completely defeated by this aunt, in Zhang Xiaohong's eyes, only her family's affairs are China's number one big thing, the Shenzhou spacecraft is a big thing, and the business of Lai Hao's small noodle restaurant is not worth mentioning. She didn't care how much loss the small noodle restaurant had to close for a day, so she confidently called Laihao to close for a few days.
"I do my best."
Lai Hao didn't say this to give Zhang Xiaohong face, he was also worried about whether Yu Jing would be in danger if he ran away from home.
