Chapter 524: A Quarter of an Hour of Happiness
"You, you!"
The woman was furious, pointed at Meng Ke and scolded: "You loser, I raised you so big for nothing, in the end, my daughter is not familiar with it, when I see the little white face, I can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, just like the fox spirit that your father is looking for, it's all shameless......"
"Sister!" Hu Chunxiao raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Your head is pumped, what are you talking nonsense?" If you can't go, if you don't leave, Xiao Keke and I will leave, and no one cares about you! ”
"Okay, let's go, you all go, anyway, I'm a human life, my husband ran away with someone, my sister helped outsiders, and even the daughter I worked so hard to raise doesn't want me anymore, just let me die!"
Meng Ke looked at his mother blankly, as if he was looking at a stranger who had never walked into his life, his usually clear and agile eyes became empty, and his unfocused gaze slowly swept over everyone standing in front of him, his ears were buzzing, but he couldn't hear a word his mother said.
Then, two lines of teardrops, flowing down the girl's cheeks!
She lowered her head, grabbed the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, the shame in her eyes was clearly visible, and said to Wen Liang: "I'm sorry! ”
Wen Liang didn't expect things to develop to this point, if he changed someone else, there was naturally a way to deal with it, but when it involved Meng Ke, he couldn't help but think about it a little more, he comforted: "I'm sorry for what you say, in fact, we have something wrong with this matter." That's it, Auntie, let's take a step, you return this dress, we will give you a similar product without any quality problems, and the price difference does not have to be made, what do you think? ”
This kind of practice is actually very inappropriate, open the door to do business, in the case of no reason, be casually made to make a fuss and make compensation, if it spreads, I don't know how many people with bad conduct will deliberately take advantage of this advantage. It's just a matter of urgency. Compared with the operation of a clothing store, he cares more about the feelings of his friends.
The woman's eyes lit up, she thought that today was a bamboo basket to draw water, but she didn't expect Wen Liang to propose such a solution, although there was no real money, but it was also an unexpected joy to be able to change into a good dress, and immediately accepted the face of the spoof, and said: "It's not good to be like this for a long time, the neighbors are watching, and it will affect the reputation of your store!" ”
Wen Liang smiled. had a new understanding of Meng Ke's mother's thick-skinned face, turned around and beckoned to Xin Xin, and said, "Take Auntie to try on clothes." ”
Meng Ke looked at the spring breeze at the corner of his mother's mouth, but it seemed that countless whips were whipped on his face, and suddenly said sorry to Wen Yu, and then turned around and ran outside. Hu Chunxiao didn't hold it, stomped his feet anxiously, and said, "Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke." Where are you going? ”
The woman looked back, and said angrily: "This dead girl ......" and said happily to Xin Xin: "Little girl, where to try?" ”
Xin Xin looked at Wen Liang, and Wen Liang was bored in his heart. But he still smiled and said, "Take Auntie with you...... Captain Hu, you don't have to worry, I'll go to Meng Ke, don't worry, we're good friends. It's okay to have a chat. ”
Hu Chunxiao was full of gratitude and said, "Thank you, thank you!" She wanted to chase Meng Ke. But I was afraid that something would happen to the woman here, so I listened to Wen and volunteered, and I was a hundred grateful.
Wen Liang chased out of the store, saw Meng Ke's shadow disappearing at the end of the street, sighed, and hurriedly chased after him.
Meng Ke walked alone on the road, her head was messy, she didn't know what she was thinking, or she didn't think about anything, so she walked aimlessly in the shadows that the sun couldn't shine on, and accidentally bumped into pedestrians several times, but she was usually the most polite and cultivated, but she forgot to say sorry, and only knew how to move forward, and then forward......
She never thought that she would let him see the ugliest scene of her family in front of Wen Liang, even if she had experienced too many changes during this time, but this sudden blow still almost broke her spirit and the sensitive and fragile self-esteem of a girl.
Is it that from now on, I can no longer smile, admire, and cherish the boy standing in the wind?
Is it that from now on, I can no longer be religious, silent, intoxicated, and gently write the name that is timelessly inscribed?
Meng Ke stopped, covered his eyes with his hands, raised his head, and looked at the blue sky!
There was no cloud in the sky, there was wind, and a few finches chirped by,
In the middle of summer, why is my heart so cold?
"Be careful!"
A hand reached over and took her arm and took a diagonal step into it, just in time to dodge a bicycle coming around the corner. Meng Ke stood firmly, and when he turned his head, his eyes were met with gentle and bright eyes and a soft smile.
The cyclist almost fell down in order to avoid it, stopped the bike and was about to scold, but he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, are you okay?" ”
The cyclist glanced at Meng Ke and didn't say anything, and said, "If you are young, be careful when you walk in the future, if you are really hit, it will be bad for you and me." ”
"Yes, yes, we'll pay attention next time."
Waiting for the cyclist to leave, Meng Ke was really annoyed and panicked to the extreme, his pale face flushed with a flush that can only be seen if he was overly nervous, and said helplessly: "Yes...... I'm sorry I'm getting you in trouble again. ”
Looking at Meng Ke in front of her, Wen Yu was a little distressed, all along, Meng Ke was not one of the most eye-catching girls, but she was sensible, well-behaved, polite and self-loving, just like a spring injected into the summer, not so important, but clear and refreshing.
But now she has lost her previous agility, restraint, hesitation, and even a little rustiness and estrangement, which makes Wen Liang quite blameful, she knew that the woman was her mother, and she should have decisively settled the matter, but the result was good, let the woman play tricks, not her face, but Meng Ke's self-esteem!
"Meng Ke, we have been good friends for more than two years, don't say these unfamiliar words." Wen Liang looked into her eyes and said, "Don't say anything I'm sorry, I see that you are in danger, and I will pull you, just as when you see me in danger in the future, you will definitely pull me!" It's nothing, right? ”
"Hmm!"
Meng Ke nodded vigorously, only then did he realize that he was standing too close to Wen Liang, so he dodged two steps in a panic and said in a low voice: "Why are you here?" ”
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, and since we met today, it's better to give face. Let me treat you to something delicious? Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Wen Yu deliberately made a joke.
Meng Ke shook his head and said, "No, it's time for me to go home." ”
Wen Liang smiled slightly, not reluctantly, and said, "It's okay, then I'll send it to you." ”
Meng Ke couldn't say anything to refuse, turned around and walked forward side by side with Wen Liang, listening to the breeze blowing through the branches and leaves of the treetops, and listening to the tireless chirping of summer cicadas. I don't know how long it took, she suddenly stopped and said, "Can you accompany me to a place?" ”
"Good!" Wen Liang didn't ask, and directly agreed.
After more than an hour, changing buses three times and walking more than ten miles, the two came to a dilapidated and deserted village, followed a rugged path, and climbed a small hill. At the top of the hill stands a lonely persimmon tree, surrounded by a person, and under the tree there is a small bluestone slab. Meng Ke leaned over and wiped the dust off the bluestone slab with his hands, and invited Wen Liang to sit down together.
In the distance, there is a roaring machine building a house. In the distance, there are many high-rise buildings, but in front of you, it seems like another world out of place. Desolate, dilapidated, declining. And it's lifeless.
"That's my old home!" Meng Ke pointed to the place fifty meters away on the left, and said: "Before I was ten years old, I spent it here, at that time my father was just an ordinary suburban farmer, and my mother was a more ordinary housewife, the family didn't have much money, but the grain for farming was enough to eat a full stomach, but if you want any beautiful clothes and delicious snacks, it won't work." ”
"I may not be different from other children, there are many friends of the same age who will be hungry for canned fruits, cakes and jelly, and some like to wear floral clothes, every New Year does not cry and shout for adults to buy a body is not happy, but I have always been not interested in those, the family can eat full, it is already very good, although the clothes made by my mother for me are not good-looking, but they fit very well and are very warm, I also think it is very good, so I have developed a habit since I was a child, not my own things, or things that should not belong to me, I never wanted to have it in the past. If I had any dreams at that time, maybe I just wanted to live with my parents like this, even if I was a little poorer and a little harder, but at least they loved each other and loved me more, which was enough......"
"But the days will always change, Dad first contracted hundreds of acres of land in the village to plant fruit trees, slowly made money, and then set up a processing factory, the production of fruit juice drinks and canned food and other products, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and the money is making more and more, of course, and the real businessman can not be compared, but compared with the previous villagers, he is also rich. Soon after my family moved from here to the city, I bought a house, changed new furniture, I even had my own bedroom, and my household registration changed from rural to non-farming, and I became a city person I never thought of before, I am very happy and happy. ”
"But slowly, my father changed, he didn't like to go home, he didn't like to talk to his mother much, and after a few years, I once heard them fighting in the bedroom one night, although they were all very quiet, afraid that I would hear it, but I still heard the movement...... I don't know what to do, I can only pretend that I don't know anything, but they still love me, I know it, so I can only play the happy home with them every day as if nothing happened...... But the happiness on the surface is not real happiness after all, and the home that everyone needs to work hard to maintain, where is there a little bit of real home......"
"Last year, the year we were admitted to the second year of high school, my dad and his lover were finally blocked by my mother on the spot, the former suspicion became reality, the former love turned into hatred, and from then on, they no longer shied away from my cunning, and began to quarrel, abuse, and fight day after day...... Dad has changed, Mom has become no longer the person I used to know, suspicious, mean, crazy, even a little insane hysteria, she hates and hates a qiē woman, including me, as if they were all the vixens who seduced Dad, all shameless people......"
"Aunt Chunxiao and I have persuaded her to divorce, but she has never been willing to give up this marriage, maybe she thinks that her father is coveting the beauty of young women to cheat, so she began to dress herself up crazily, eyebrows, powder, makeup, self-cultivation, these things she didn't care about at all before, and she didn't know at all, the same kind of learning, the same kind of ...... But she didn't have much money, so she borrowed it when she ran out, and if she couldn't borrow it, she sold the things in it, and once took all the food money left by her father to the beauty salon...... It's not the first time she's come to your store today, but she's willing to do anything that can take advantage......"
Meng Ke clasped his hands on his knees, put his chin on the back of his hand, stared blankly at the loess on the ground, and said in a low voice: "But she is my mother, the one who gave me life and raised me, and I know that she actually loves me, but because of her father's betrayal, she temporarily lost herself, I want to save her, but I don't know what to do......
Click, click,
It was the sound of tears falling to the ground, Wen Liang reached out and gently grabbed the girl's shoulder, the girl turned her head, looked at him for a while, and then turned slightly sideways and leaned her head on the other's shoulder.
The world stands still,
Maybe the reality is cruel,
But at least this moment,
She is happy! (To be continued......)
