twenty-four

Zhang Cong snorted and said: "Yushen, I said you are too autistic, although you are a cultural person and talented, you are a nerd after all." Fortunately, you have a decent profession as a teacher, otherwise, if you don't get angry, you may not be able to play this world. In today's society, the competition is fierce and cruel! Speaking of which, Zhang Cong lay down on the sofa, humming and shaking his legs.

Zhu Yushen looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock, and he said to Zhang Cong: "You can sleep at my house tonight, it's not early." ”

Zhang Cong said: "That's not good, I still have something to do when I go back." He quickly stood up and took his leave. Zhu Yushen saw that he had said so much, and his spirit was much clearer, so he let him go.

Zhu Yushen went upstairs after closing the door and saw that Xiao Rong had not fallen asleep, she was still playing with her mobile phone.

Xiao Rong saw Zhu Yushen coming up, she lay down, turned her back to Zhu Yushen and asked, "What did your classmate always mention just now, Lulu, who is she?" What is her relationship with you? ”

Zhu Yushen was shocked, but he immediately regained his composure. He said, "Oh, that's a classmate of Zhang Cong, the woman he used to court. Now I'm not lightly ill. She happened to be the sister of one of my students, so Zhang Cong mentioned her in front of me. ”

Xiao Rong said: "Oh, so that's it! Later, I seem to hear you say that Wang Danbao married a terminally ill woman, isn't she? ”

Zhu Yushen replied: "No. Wang Danbao's one is no longer there. Hearing this, Xiao Rong trembled. Zhu Yushen hurriedly hugged her from behind and said, "This is called a red face." The two were silent for a while.

In the blink of an eye, in late April, Zhu Yushen and Xiao Rong each asked for leave from the unit in advance. Their wedding was scheduled for May 1, so the holiday was counted from the first two days, for a total of 15 days.

In late April, Zhu Yu took a deep weekend and had a few days to go to class. During this period, they also had to attend Da Liu's wedding. Before marriage, Zhu Yushen had to go to his aunt's house, and things were arranged. So this Saturday and Sunday, Zhu Yushen decided to go back to his hometown and visit his father's grave. He's about to get married, so he should comfort his father who is underground. Thinking of this, Zhu Yushen felt that he had to go to his mother's place and tell her about it. As for whether she comes to the wedding or not, it's up to her.

After breakfast on Saturday, Zhu Yushen bought paper money in the town and put it in the car basket. Then hop on your bike and ride fast towards where your hometown is.

The morning sun was still shining, but by noon it was overcast. The rain in Jiangnan fell as soon as it was said, which made Zhu Yushen more anxious, and he accelerated his speed to ride. When we arrived at the cemetery, it was already raining lightly. Zhu Yushen covered the paper money with an umbrella and lit a fire, so that the paper could be burned smoothly.

Then he turned back to the village. Seeing that the house at the entrance of the village, which had been outside all the year round, had fallen over a wall, Zhu Yushen's heart sank. He walked briskly to his house. The walls of this green brick house, where he has lived for nearly 20 years, are covered with moss, and the thatch around the house has grown to a height of more than a meter, making it difficult to enter. Zhu Yushen hadn't been back for a long time, he closed his eyes in front of the house, listening to the sound of water dripping from the eaves, and he pondered for a while.

Fragments of the past were constantly intertwined in his mind. He did not enter the house because the rain was getting lighter, and he decided to ride another fast car to his mother's house. He walked to the large vegetable patch at the edge of the village, and was taken aback by the sight. The large vegetable plot shared by the people of the village has been completely deserted. It's overgrown with weeds, and there's not a single vegetable plant in sight.

A few years ago, it was a green place. There are all kinds of vegetables, melons and fruits, and they are full of temptation all year round, and you can see people busy here during the day. And now...... He felt his nose sour. This change made Zhu Yushen unable to adapt for a while. He knew that the people in the village had gone out as much as they could, and those who stayed behind couldn't do it or didn't have the energy to farm. Murakami was also dead silent, and there was hardly a single person in sight. Quietly, only the sound of rain could be heard.

I don't know when Zhu Yushen has become sentimental. When he came back today, he was so touched by the rain and mist that he pushed his bicycle for a long time. After noon, when he reached the location of the village headquarters of an administrative village, the rain stopped. There are a number of shops on both sides of the road. When he saw a steamed bun shop, he bought three steamed buns and served them as lunch. After eating, his mood stabilized, and he got on the bike and rode towards his mother's current home. When he rode to the ridge of the Chishui River, the air here was foggy, and the mist seemed to come up from the mighty water.

The wide riverbed was already filled with mist, and soon the river was out of sight. This Chishui River originates in the mountainous area of Chizhen, and flows parallel to the Yangtze River all the way to the east, and it is already a relatively wide river here in Huangzhen. When Zhu Yushen went to his mother's house, he had to go down a section of the Chishui River first.

The river turns at a large mountain, then flows perpendicular to the Yangtze River, flows to the riverside of the black sandbank, and joins the Yangtze River. Zhu Yushen wanted to ride to the bend of the river and then turn south. In the past, when he went to his mother's place, it was always sunny, and the scenery was nothing special. Today, however, the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and there is a lot of moisture in the air. He felt that his head was already wet, and the cuffs and neckline were sticky.

In this case, the lookout distance is limited, so he does not dare to ride fast. There were almost no pedestrians and vehicles on the road, so Zhu Yushen rode while enjoying the unique scene on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The fog here is all made up of water vapor and is clean. Unlike the smog that has been widely reported recently, the northern industrial cities. At this moment, he was in a very good mood.

When he was about to reach the bend of the Chishui River, Zhu Yushen saw a figure in front of him, and that person should be in the same direction as him. Judging from that back, it should be a woman. When he got a little closer, he noticed that the man was a bit like his mother.

"What is she doing here? It shouldn't be her. Zhu Yushen muttered in his heart, he exerted a little effort, and drove in front of the man in a while. Looking back, he was stunned, it turned out to be his mother! He immediately got out of the car. Seeing him, his mother was also stunned for a while. Or Zhu Yushen spoke first: "Mom, it's raining, why are you here?" ”

The mother replied, "Xiao Shen, you rode your bicycle here to find me, right?" Are you okay now? ”

Zhu Yushen said: "I'm here to inform you that I'm going to get married, and the date is set for May 1, a few days away." On the day of the wedding, I hope you will come too. Oh no, you're my mom, you have to come that day. After a little thought, Zhu Yushen added: "That's it, I'll call a colleague to pick you up on a motorcycle that day!" When he spoke, he planned to call Xiao Yu to pick him up when the time came, and Xiao Yu had promised to help him before; Or Shen Bing can do it.

The mother stopped, and she looked stunned. Zhu Yushen was a little overwhelmed when he saw this, he stopped and propped up the car. Seeing him like this, his mother said, "Let's go forward, it's a foggy day." ”

And they walked forward side by side. Zhu Yushen looked around, and he felt that the fog was like a huge curtain overlapping on top of each other, limiting the people in it to a lonely and helpless situation.

Zhu Yushen remembered that when he was a child, he walked alone in this fog many times. Another time, he and his father were working in the fields under the cover of fog, and his father thought he was slow and beat him. When I think about these memories now, my heart is full of astringency. Before, he would never have imagined today's scene: walking in the fog with his mother! However, at this moment, he felt that he was not intimate with his mother at all. His mother's expression was complicated and unpredictable.

After walking for a while, my mother said, "Xiao Shen, do you know what I was doing today?" Zhu Yushen shook his head at her.

She said, "Your brother still went to the stone yard to learn the craft of forging stone lions." I borrowed his three thousand dollars from his father's sister. His father went to the mine for a few months to work in the new year, earned some money, and today he went to return the money to others. ”

When her mother said this, Zhu Yushen was embarrassed. Because when he came to his mother's house in the first month, his mother once asked him to support three thousand yuan to come out, as the tuition fee for her youngest son to learn a trade. He flatly refused at the time, ignored his mother and ran away. I didn't expect their family to be so poor, so they borrowed it from someone else's family and only paid it back now. Maybe when my mother went to borrow it, she was still looked down upon by others and said cool things. Thinking of this, Zhu Yu lowered his head in shame.

However, since he himself got involved in love and prepared to get married, he couldn't use the money. He can no longer live alone like he used to, and it is okay to support others. He didn't answer his mother's words, he just kept sighing.
