Lu Feng said: "Today's car to the county seat has left, I have a phone, you go over with me." ”

Someone stopped the matter, Du Zhong swallowed his resentment, for fear that Su Ruizhen would call the police, and he would pay a few more words, and everyone dispersed.

When Su Rui sells shrimp, she often passes by Dalin Village, and you can see the cement tile houses of every household from a distance, which are many times higher than the adobe houses in several nearby villages.

When I came in, I found that the village was very clean, and there was a grocery store at the head of the village, which was more like an urban village than a rural village.

Lu Feng led her to where he lived, a two-story building, with long white tiles on the walls, a spacious and clean cement yard outside, a staircase in a two-story small building built outside, and several rooms on the first floor with closed doors.

Lu Feng explained, "There is an orchard in the back, and this is the office building. ”

The innermost room upstairs was where Lu Feng lived, and after placing Su Rui, he hurried downstairs again.

Su Rui sat on a simple sofa and looked around, the interior of the house was simple and tidy, the roof was a three-leaf ceiling fan, and a boxy old-fashioned TV, which should be the latest according to this era.

After a few minutes, Lu Feng walked up with a bucket of water.

At this time, Su Rui's face is very swollen, she needs a cold compress to reduce the swelling, and then use a hot compress to dissolve the stasis later, there is no refrigerator here, only the well water is the coolest.

Su Rui took a little water with her hand and patted her face.

Lu Feng took out a new towel from the cabinet, put a few dishes in the basin, wrung it out and folded it, handed it to her, and said, "You put it on for a while, and I'll take you down to call later." ”

"Thank you, it's always bothering you every time." Su Rui took the towel and covered her face, the cold feeling made her body feel a lot more comfortable.

Su Rui's thanks carried a kind of deep helplessness, Lu Feng always felt that this girl had a maturity that did not match her age, and he preferred to see her lively and stubborn appearance.

Lu Feng washed and changed the towels for her from time to time, and no one in the room spoke, but he didn't feel embarrassed.

More than half an hour later, Lu Feng took her downstairs.

"I'll wait for you outside." He offered to recuse himself.

"No, you don't." Lu Feng also knew almost everything from the beginning to the end, and there was nothing to avoid.

The most important thing is that she doesn't use dial phones in this era, and... I don't know whether to call the switchboard first or dial it directly? The original owner, who had never used the phone, apparently had no memory of this.

Lu Feng sat down on the opposite side and heard Su Rui report a string of numbers, "Help me dial, the number from Jianghuai City." ”

Jianghuai City? It turned out that they were fellow villagers.

Lu Feng nodded, leaned over to help her dial, and Su Rui secretly wrote down how to use the phone.

Not long after, the phone rang with the sound of "beep...", and soon came the voice of an old woman: "Who are you looking for?" "Not very polite and without any opening greeting.

"Hello, does Zhuang Mei live here?" Zhuang Mei is the name of Su's mother.

The old woman shouted: "Zhuang Mei, telephone." ”

Su Rui unconsciously moved the headphones outward.

"Hey, hello?" Usually people look for her, Su Mu is wondering who will call her.

"I'm Su Rui." Su Rui heard the familiar voice in her memory, even if the woman opposite had not yet met, the feeling of blood kinship made her miss it deeply in her bones.

This is the body's instinctive reaction for a moment, although the memory retention of the original owner has some impact on her, but in her subjective consciousness, Su Rui still can't regard Zhuang Mei as her mother.

When Su's mother heard the voice of her daughter who she hadn't seen for three years, tears almost poured out, but because her mother-in-law was by her side, she could only suppress her excitement and said in a trembling voice: "Okay, I know, leave your phone number to me if it's convenient, and I'll call you when I'm free." ”

Su Rui was a little puzzled, and then thought that maybe she was inconvenient to speak now, so the number of this phone was written on white tape and pasted on the top of the dial key, and it was reported to her.

Su Mu wrote down the number and hung up the phone.

After taking a few deep breaths, he pretended to be okay and said to his mother-in-law: "Mom, the meal is ready, you can eat first, the sun is good today, I will take the quilt down to dry." ”

The old woman didn't lift her eyes as she watched the TV.

After waiting for about five minutes, the phone on Su Rui's side rang as expected.

"Xiaorui, where are you now? Your aunt sent a telegram saying that you had fallen from the mountain, and it didn't matter if you were in good health..."As soon as she picked up the phone, a series of questions made Su Rui not know where to start answering.

After Su's mother finished asking all the questions she wanted to ask, Su Rui said: "I'm fine, I'm just telling you, I won't go back to Du's house to live, and now I borrowed the phone from the neighboring village to call you." ”

Su Mu was puzzled, "What's wrong?" Is the Du family bad to you? ”

She can rest assured that her daughter will stay in the countryside, but she feels that the countryman is honest, her daughter is from the city, and she gives her living expenses every month, so she will naturally not let her daughter suffer any grievances, the only thing she can think of is that her daughter is growing up and becoming unaccustomed to rural life.

With a little helplessness, she said softly: "Xiaorui, you have to wait patiently for a few months, my mother has discussed with your uncle here, and you will be brought back to live at the end of the year when you turn eighteen." ”

The eighteen-year-old daughter will be able to get married, and when the time comes, she will rely on the position conditions of Wang Baomin's Industrial and Commercial Bureau to find her daughter a family with good conditions in the city, which is also Su's mother's plan to decide to marry Wang Baomin at the beginning.

Su Rui sneered, "Okay? Okay, I can't stay there for a moment, I'm already out, and you don't have to send money here in the future. Without waiting for Su Mu to speak, she hung up the phone.

Su's mother heard her daughter's strange tone, so she couldn't help but worry, and dialed it again, "Xiaorui, what happened?" ”

Su Rui didn't want to take it, and was afraid that Su's mother would keep hitting this side, so she raised her eyes and looked at Lu Feng, and finally said, "Liu Fengxian said that you didn't send living expenses this month, so you beat me, and you used to beat me often, but this time I returned my hand and ran out." ”

told Su Mu about her situation, and didn't hide her from fighting back, that is, she completely broke off the idea of persuading herself to go back to Du's house.

Su's mother was stunned, and said half-loudly: "Last month, your aunt sent a telegram saying that you fell on the mountain and owed hospital treatment fees, I thought it was almost the end of the month, so I put this month's living expenses in it, fifteen yuan to see a doctor and take medicine, five yuan is living expenses, and a total of twenty yuan was sent over!" ”

It's just that they didn't send it, why did they beat their daughter? There's a grudge coming at her!

Su Rui had known for a long time that the family was a bunch of insatiable things, and it was not surprising that such a thing would be done.

"Xiaorui, do you have any money on you? Otherwise, ask someone to borrow something to find a place to live, and Mom will come over to pick you up in the next few days. Knowing that the Du family is this kind of family, Su's mother will definitely not persuade her daughter to go back, and even if she is not greedy for money, she can't swallow this evil breath just by doing it.

Hearing that Su's mother was coming, Su Rui was a little distressed, after all, she was not a real mother and daughter, and she felt awkward no matter how she got along.

She thought for a while and politely refused: "I have money on me, you don't need to come over, I want to go to the county seat to find a job recently, and I'll send you a telegram when I settle down." ”

It was inconvenient for Su's mother to answer the phone at home, so the telegram was sent to the post office and sent to the factory.

It's not realistic to go over immediately, and Su's mother also followed her method, "Then you take care of yourself for a few days, Mom will go over after asking for leave from the factory, and call me when you settle down." ”

Then he didn't worry about a few words of advice before hanging up the phone.

When she was quiet, she realized that her daughter had never called her mother from beginning to end, and she was afraid that she was resentful of her in her heart.
