Chapter 267

The temperature in Huangzhen is lower than that in Yushan District, and in the past few days, the sky has always been gloomy, and the snow crows in the sky are constantly flying, and it looks like it is about to snow. Zhu Yushen got up late every day at Xiao Rong's mother's house, and he felt like he was falling apart. Xiao Rong's mother and Xiao Rong's nephew get up late every day, because they don't study at this time, and there is no farm work to do, so it is the most idle season in Huangzhen.
Zhu Yushen felt that the day and night here were very quiet, and it was comfortable at the beginning, but after a long time, it made people feel bored. Xiao Rong still has a week to come back from vacation, but she told Zhu Yushen not to go back to Yushan District, just stay in Huangzhen.
When he stayed at Xiao Rong's mother's house until the third day, Zhu Yushen couldn't sit still, and he decided to complete a task. This is what he said to Shen Bing not long ago - he was going to visit his mother once. Although he very much did not want to see his half-brother and his father Lai Wu, his longing for his mother became stronger and stronger once he swelled up.
After getting up on the morning of the fourth day, Zhu Yushen found that it was frighteningly dark, but he still proposed to Xiao Rong's mother to go to his mother's. Xiao's mother stopped her and said that it looked like it was going to snow, so she might as well wait for the weather to clear before going.
Zhu Yushen hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still got on the bicycle and stepped in the direction of Weili against the biting wind. There are still more pedestrians along the way, which may be due to the fact that it has been closed in recent years, and the people who worked outside have returned, so the places on Huangzhen Street are much more lively than usual. When Zhu Yushen rode to Zhang Village, where his mother was, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. This was because he was chilled after riding, so he slowed down his pace.
At the entrance of the village. Zhu Yushen found that a loaded car was parked on the dirt road that was not wide. There were seven or eight people around talking about something. I'll take a look when I get closer. Zhu Yushen couldn't help but feel excited, because he found out that his mother and Lai Wu were also among them.
Then, Lai Wu and his mother lifted a basket of rice, and the man who drove the rice harvester was watching the weighing rod. After weighing it, they put it down, and after weighing all the rice they picked up by the couple, they discussed the price.
Zhu Yushen was standing ten meters away from them at this time, and he didn't want to avoid it. Although some of the people in the group had already discovered his presence, they only glanced at him hurriedly. Then he turned his attention to the rice harvester.
Lai Wu and his mother seemed to be very involved, and they had quarreled with the rice harvesters over the price. Lai Wu also rolled up his sleeves, as if he was going to beat someone. But the rice harvester seems to be very good, he told them that at this price, do you like to sell or not? If you don't sell him, drive the car away, and it's over?
Who knew that as soon as he said this, Lai Wu was immediately afraid, but he still made concessions. They sold the rice, got a few pieces of money, and carefully pinched and counted them. After a while. Everyone dispersed, and Lai Wu picked up the basket and prepared to go home. That's it. Zhu Yushen's mother discovered Zhu Yushen's existence. She put down the burden in her hand and stood there, but she didn't say anything.
Seeing his mother's expression, Zhu Yushen didn't know what to say or what to do. As a result, Lai Wu walked up to him, patted him and said, "Teacher Zhu came to see your mother again?" Let's go, come home with us! ”
Zhu Yushen's mother and son came to their senses. His mother said to him, "Xiao Shen, why did you come after such a long time?" Last time I heard that you had been transferred to the city to work, and your conditions are getting better and better. And here I am, it's still the same, and it's not even as good as a year. ”
After saying that, the couple walked in front, and Zhu Yushen pushed the bicycle behind them and walked to their house together. Zhu Yushen looked at his mother and Lai Wu from behind as he walked, and found that they were both dirty. Especially Lai Wu, his body is bent, hunched back, and his face looks very old. Zhu Yushen looked around again, and he found that this village seemed to be more dilapidated than before, and the scenery in Yushan District, where he was currently located, was completely different. As he walked, Zhu Yushen felt pity for his mother and Lai Wu.
After entering the house, Zhu Yushen put the things he brought on the table, which he bought on Huangzhen Street in the morning. After Lai Wu glanced at something, he looked more happy. He said he went to buy some groceries and came back. Her mother let Zhu Yushen into the fire box, and she said that she went to the vegetable garden to get some vegetables and came back.
Watching the couple go out before and after, the staggering walking posture made Zhu Yushen's five sisters in his heart mixed. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't find a reason to cry. At this point, he felt surprisingly quiet. Outside, it was getting darker, and it looked like the snow was going to fall soon.
This made Zhu Yushen a little anxious, he was afraid that once the goose feathers and heavy snow fell, it would be inconvenient for him to go back to Huangzhen. Thinking of this, he got down from the fire compartment and walked to the door to take a look. He found two old women at the gate of the courtyard, and they were looking over and whispering something. Seeing this, he hurriedly shrank back.
He then walked around the three-room tiled house. He noticed that the whole room was dark and damp, probably because of the rain. When he looked up, he saw that it was covered with small tiles. This tile is too old and prone to cracking.
The second floor of Xiao Rong's house was also built with this kind of tile before, and it didn't leak when it rained. But they spent a few thousand dollars last year to replace the tile with a good quality flow-glazed tile, so now there is no leakage at all. But my mother didn't even do this here, which is a little chilling! He was worried about how they would cope with the heavy rain. At the same time, Zhu Yushen also found that the furniture in these rooms was very shabby, and there were almost no decent things in them. The more he looked at it, the more chilling he became.
After sitting back in the fire box, a question came to his mind. This is what Jin Jun said before, poverty and embarrassment should be people's worst enemies. In fact, he used to have hatred for his mother and Lai Wu, but as time went by, and the shabby scene he saw in front of him, all his hatred disappeared.
He remembered that when Jin Jun mentioned the family background of Big Eyes and others, he said that the houses in those poor homes were old and dilapidated, and they looked like they were about to collapse; If you kick the furniture in the house, it will all fall apart. Jin Jun said that these people are all like this, and it is not suitable for them to stir up some things of love, love, flesh and blood, hatred and hatred!
From Zhu Yushen's point of view at this time, these words are undoubtedly very correct. While he was thinking about it, his mother came back, and she came back with a basket of vegetables. Mother seemed to be in a good mood, she poured the vegetables on the floor, and then sat down on a small stool and began to pick them. (To be continued......)
