Chapter 13 The happiness of picking up cannot be kept
The town of Kawanaka is set every other day. It's already the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and there will be a few more episodes to celebrate the New Year.
The original set of the ancient Buddha field is on the side of the road, the road is narrow, and it is a steep slope. When it comes to the market day, the stalls, the market, and the passing vehicles are crowded together like intestinal obstruction.
Now, a new street has been built in the middle of the steep slope, and all the buying and selling transactions are gathered here.
Stream-like crowds crowded the streets less than 500 meters in front of and behind, like a school of fish trapped in a pond.
The sound of selling, bargaining, the loud voices of the men, the shrill voices of the women, the cries of the children, the music in the shops along the street, the rolling noise makes people's ears hurt.
The seven old men's vegetables sold out quickly today, and they were sold out in less than ten o'clock. The seven old men regretted that they had prepared less food today.
When the seven old men packed up and were about to go home, they saw Liu Xiaosi carrying a full load of New Year's goods, holding Qiu'er's hand and walking in the crowd.
This damn thing, this old love is still talking about the same as the young one, isn't it the old man? The seven old men muttered with some jealousy, the mother-in-law she picked up is really a treasure. Don't fly one day, there is your doll ghost crying wolf.
"Brother Seven, it's sold out. Let's go all the way back. Liu Xiaosi pulled Qiu'er over.
The seventh old man squinted at Liu Xiaosi and said, "Xiaosi, I didn't expect you to be an old, looking at you like this, I'm not afraid that people will laugh at you." ”
Liu Xiaosi's face flushed, and he quickly let go of Qiu'er's hand. Qiu'er reached over and grabbed it again, holding it tightly.
"Seventh brother." Qiu'er also raised her face and called the seven old men.
The heart of the seven old men trembled. This woman, that eyebrows, that demeanor, even though she is old, is still amorous. This guy didn't know how seductive he was when he was young. How can such a woman be cheaper than a guy like Liu Xiaosi.
"Let's go, let's go." The seven old men pushed the cart and followed Liu Xiaosi and Qiu'er out.
"Mom, Mom......" A neatly dressed man cried and ran towards the seven old men.
The seven old men and Liu Xiaosi were all taken aback.
"Ming Qiu." Qiu'er screamed and stayed on the side of the road.
The man ran over, knelt beside Qiu'er, hugged Qiu'er's leg and cried: "Mom, where did you go, I found you so hard." ”
"Mingqiu, Mingqiu, Mom is looking for you everywhere, Mom can't find you." Qiu'er pulled the man up and reached out to wipe his tears.
Mingqiu, it turns out that Qiu'er is not called Mingqiu, Mingqiu is her son.
This is the mother, maybe she will forget herself, but not her son.
"Mom, let's go home. I've found you, and this year is perfect. Mingqiu pulled her mother to a white car on the side of the road.
The seven old men were stunned, and Liu Xiaosi was also stunned.
Liu Xiaosi stretched out his hand, but only grabbed a handful of cold air.
Someone's baby came to find his mother, what is he, why should he keep it?
Qiu'er, no, Mingqiu's mother, that woman is just a gust of wind blowing through his life.
When the wind came, he danced like a leaf, and when the wind passed, he fell like a leaf.
How can leaves retain the wind that blows?
"Fourth brother, fourth brother, this is my son." Mingqiu's mother pulled her son and said to Liu Xiaosi.
"Oh." Liu Xiaosi sighed, and he didn't know what to say.
"Baby, your mother has been living in this uncle's house these days, if it weren't for your uncle to take care of her, your mother wouldn't know what it would be." The seven old men were a little angry in their hearts. This baby is too unreasonable, if it weren't for Liu Xiaosi to take care of it, your mother wouldn't know where she wandered, and it wasn't necessarily dead or alive.
"Uncle, thank you." Mingqiu walked over, knelt down in front of Liu Xiaosi, and kowtowed three times.
"Baby, get up, don't be like this." Liu Xiaosi pulled up Mingqiu, "It's good to find it." I didn't take good care of your mother, you took her back, and the family celebrated the New Year happily, how good. ”
Liu Xiaosi said with a smile, but there were tears in his eyes, and he also felt a cramp in his heart. The things I picked up really weren't my own, but, just why did I have to return them so quickly?
"You baby, why did you lose your mother?" The Seven Old Men wanted to find out what happened.
Ming Qiu told the seven old men and Liu Xiaosi, they are from the provincial capital, their father has passed away a long time ago, and their mother Raba grew up with them. Over the years, several brothers and sisters have become families, and the old mother lives alone. In recent years, the old mother's mental state is not good, and during the Chinese New Year this year, the family took her mother out to play, and the mother was lost, and the family went crazy and looked for almost a year.
The people who rushed to the market came around, looking at the scene in front of them, some people sighed at Mingqiu's filial piety in persisting in finding his mother, and some people sighed at Liu Xiaosi's kindness.
Only the seven old men understood the bitterness in Liu Xiaosi's heart, and finally got a wife, but he didn't hurt enough, didn't love enough, and watched her go again.
"Let's go, baby, take your mother home." Liu Xiaosi turned his head and held back the tears in his eyes.
Mingqiu trembled his hands, took out his wallet, took out a stack of money and stuffed it into Liu Xiaosi's hand: "Uncle, thank you for taking care of my mother during this time." ”
"I don't want your money." Liu Xiaosi stuffed the money back into Mingqiu's wallet, "Go home and take care of your mother, if you lose it again, you won't necessarily meet someone like your uncle." ”
Liu Xiaosi is bitter, everyone is gone, what's the use of more money.
Mingqiu pulled his mother into the car, started the car and left.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother." The woman rolled down the window and waved at Liu Xiaosi.
"Hey, hey." Liu Xiaosi waved his hand and watched the car speed away on the road, his tears finally fell.
"Oh, Liu Xiaosi, your wife is running the ball."
"Liu Xiaosi, you melon. The man looks like a rich man, and he drives a car, you don't want his money, he lacks it. ”
"Yes, other people's mothers let you sleep, and you are embarrassed to ask for other people's money."
"Liu Xiaosi, you have had a good time this time, this mother-in-law is gone, how do you spend the night."
…… All the jokes converged into a burst of muffled thunder that exploded in Liu Xiaosi's mind, blowing him up crispy inside and out, and finally turned into a voice: She's gone! Let's go!
"Let's go, let's go home, someone's baby is coming to find Mom, what can we say? Come back, after all, it's not your thing, and you can't keep it if you want to. The seven old men held Liu Xiaosi's hand, just like the little guy who was wronged and wiped his tears when he was a child.
Liu Xiaosi followed the seven old men home, like a mechanical puppet without a soul.
The back basket is full of New Year's goods, shiitake mushrooms, fungus, bamboo shoots, brown sugar, pig ears, dried beef......
These things, which were originally prepared for the New Year, pressed on Liu Xiaosi's shoulders like a mountain.
"Little four, put the back on my chicken bus." The seven old men saw Liu Xiaosi's depressed appearance, so he put his back on the chicken bus.
"Little four, just say it if you feel uncomfortable."
"It's okay, Brother Qi, just like you said, it's not my stuff in the first place, and I can't keep it." Liu Xiaosi smiled a little reluctantly.
The seven old men blamed themselves for the idea in the bazaar, they just thought about it casually, but they didn't expect it to work. Hey, this **** God! Even if Liu Xiaosi is happy to finish this year, it will be successful.
This evil guy is dozens of years old, and he has never been so happy to prepare for the New Year. God, why can't I let this joy linger for a while?
The news that Liu Xiaosi's wife was taken away by his family spread faster than the wind.
The seven old men have not yet arrived home, and a large group of people have gathered at the entrance of the village, waiting to see Liu Xiaosi's liveliness.
It's been a great year. Last night, the black oil tank was beaten by his son, and today Liu Xiaosi's wife is gone.
These things are the condiments of boring days, enough to keep the villagers of Checheshan talking for a while. I don't know what will happen in Checheshan in the next few days when the year is approaching?
Liu Xiaosi looked at the people at the entrance of the village, and felt a little worried in his heart, not knowing what kind of words those people would say, and sprinkled salt on his wounds.
