Chapter 59: Scars
When the last rays of the sun disappear below the horizon, night falls, and the night can always bring people a different experience.
The injury on his forehead to Xiao Ruoning had already scabbed, and there was a thin and not very hideous scar at the corner of his eye, and after taking the gauze on his head, Shuo Fang looked at himself in the mirror by the light, and gently stroked the scar with his hand.
He muttered to himself in a voice that he could hear, "You must be happy, as long as you are happy, I would rather choose to forget, I like you Xiao Ruoning, but only this week, so you must be happy!" ”
The words reveal his liking for Xiao Ruoning, but these heart-wrenching words seem to be Shuo Fang saying goodbye to himself and burying his love for Xiao Ruoning deep in his heart.
Boredom night, Shuofang's biggest hobby is to look at the stars, but unfortunately tonight the sky is not beautiful, the night sky was originally full of stars, tonight in addition to being as black as ever. The night sky, decorated with no stars, looks very monotonous.
When I was a fourteen-year-old teenager, I always liked to study the stars, chasing the direction of the wind, carefree and happy...
"Shuo has dinner, and your father will take you to the hospital to change the medicine on your head at night, it's been a few days, your father is really busy, he is busy in the unit every day, and he doesn't care if his son lives or dies."
"Mom is fine, the bag on her forehead has long been gone, and it doesn't hurt anymore, and the medicine doesn't have to worry anymore." Shuo Fang came out of the room to look at the table of food made by his mother, habitually picked up the chopsticks, and when he was about to feast, he suddenly remembered something, hurriedly put the chopsticks down and rushed into his father's room, and took out a bottle of beer.
"Bang!" As the corkscrew opened the lid of the beer and made the sound of gas rushing out, under Shu Ya's stunned expression, three full glasses of beer were poured.
"Hey, hey, Mom, I don't go to school tomorrow, I want to drink today, Mom, you see that you have made so many dishes that my dad and I love to eat, is there something missing without alcohol."
"Don't pat yourself on the back, if you want to drink beer, just say it, the injury on your head is not good, give me less drink, don't wait for your dad today, it's half past six and haven't come home yet, let's eat first."
Shuofang didn't know what's going on, I always felt that this was a meal similar to usual, and I ate it extra sweet today, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was eaten by Shuofang before Shuofang's father came back, and he drank the beer in the cup in one gulp, for her son's series of abnormal actions today, Shu Ya didn't have time to think about it, for her, Shuofang can eat and drink, it is the age of the long body, and it is normal to have a large amount of food.
Shu Ya thought that three glasses of beer Shuofang was just one drink, and it was almost enough, but it wasn't until the third cup of beer and a bottle of beer went down to Shuofang's stomach that Shu Ya felt that there was definitely something wrong with her son.
"The son told his mother, what's the matter, what are you doing with so much wine?"
Shuofang, who was already not strong enough to drink, suddenly got on his face after drinking a bottle of beer, and his consciousness began to be blurred, and he said incoherently, "Mom, I like a girl, and that girl doesn't like me!" As he spoke, he began to cry, no matter what Shu Ya said, Shuo Fang just couldn't hear it.
The son who has always been well-behaved actually has someone he likes, and he fought for that girl, after listening to Shuofang's somewhat intermittent narration, Shu Ya was taken aback, because Shuofang was completely subverted, and he looked honest in Shu Ya's heart.
It is said that the son is the flesh of the mother's heart, and when she saw her tearful son trapped by love, she borrowed wine to drown her sorrows. Faintly, Shu Ya seemed to feel that her son had grown up a lot.
Shuo Fang put the mood that had been suppressed for a long time at once, and after releasing it, he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and then he felt dizzy, and then he didn't know how he got back to his bed, and when he woke up, it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning the next day.
"Hmm... What time is it? Shuo Fang opened his hazy eyes, stood up in a daze, and opened the curtains in the room violently, and suddenly the sun was dazzling, and he couldn't open his eyes in a trance.
"Mom! It's almost nine o'clock, why didn't you call me! "Hurriedly dressed, came to the living room empty, only a note pressed on the table, the content of which was roughly as follows.
"My son was very fierce yesterday, there is a bit of your father's majestic posture back then, my mother didn't say you, just do a good job in your studies, your mother I don't want to have a daughter-in-law so soon, the porridge cooked in the morning is in the pot, warm it up and eat it yourself, the pickles are in the refrigerator, remember to close the refrigerator door when you take it out, I went to your third aunt's house to play."
"If you don't come back in the morning, your dad has something to do, on your bedside table, I left you twenty yuan, let's watch and buy something to eat."
After reading this seal, Shuofang couldn't smile bitterly, but no matter how hard he tried, Shuofang, who told his mother what he said last night, was a little embarrassed at this moment, and his biggest secret was discovered by his mother, and he was also told.
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning were scattered on Xiao Ruoning's bed through the window, Xiao Ruoning's bed was empty, and some were neatly arranged quilts, a habit developed since childhood, Xiao Ruoning would always wake up on time at half past five.
Fetching water, boiling water, washing hands and faces, brushing teeth and rinsing mouths, combing hair is almost the same every day, and things that never stop all year round are nothing more than soaking his father's feet in warm water every morning.
Because of his long hours of physical labor, coupled with the loss of a leg due to a work injury, Xiao Jing's remaining leg has become severely varicose veins.
Looking at the hideous blood vessels on Xiao Jing's legs, Xiao Ruoning relieved Xiao Jing's pain in her own way, in the years when she was away, her father and her father depended on each other for their lives, hunger and cold, no matter how difficult it was, Xiao Ruoning, who was with Xiao Jing, was always able to eat very well.
It wasn't until Xiao Ruoning, who discovered Xiao Jing's secret when she was eight years old, that she understood how her father's deep eyes and calloused hands were done.
Time will always take away some of the most precious things in the past, Xiao Ruoning, who really feels the cold of the world, did not get the kind of warmth and friendship she dreamed of when she was a child until she went to middle school.
"Ahem, why doesn't Ning'er sleep more today, she doesn't go to school today, and her father won't go to set up a stall today."
"Dad is still sleeping, I'm not a pig, from the morning to now, I haven't done anything It's almost ten o'clock, and I'm going to be so fast today." Xiao Ruoning muttered with a small mouth, touching the water in the basin from time to time to see if it was very hot. Seeing her daughter's focused appearance, Xiao Jing was very relieved.
In fact, Xiao Ruoning, who is more sensible than her peers, knows better than anyone else that the oppression of life has created her, and all factors are excellent At the same time, the price paid is also double.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Ruoning shows people with a very strict expression, which is also Mo Shi's original intention to give her that cold little lady......
