Chapter XVII. On the Mountain
Yan Wanying opened her eyes, damn it, she actually fell asleep on someone's back, and struggled down: "I'm sorry, I'm asleep, why don't you wake me up when I arrive?" ”
Aotian Mo put her down: "Seeing that you slept soundly, I didn't disturb your good dreams!" ”
Standing on the ground, Yan Wanying noticed that the two of them were already on the top of a high mountain, and as far as the eye could see, they were surrounded by lush small mountains, and at their feet was a large stone of four or five square meters, smooth and flat.
She took a deep breath and felt relaxed: "It's really a good place, how did you find out, you come here often?" ”
Aotianmo shook his head: "I found it by chance, I liked it, but I don't come often, depending on the mood." ”
Yan Wanying sighed: "It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance." Career-oriented men should love it here! ”
Ao Tianmo looked at the mountain in front of him with his back hand: "It does have the feeling you said, but I like it here, not to come here to experience the feeling of being high above." It's because it's quiet, tired, and you can relax yourself without any scruples here, and you don't have to think about anything. Confused, you can think quietly here. When you are stressed, you can relax infinitely here. I have cheated a lot, and I can lie here and wash my soul. I'm tired of it, the air here is fresh, the environment is quiet, you can change your mood and experience the feeling of relaxation and happiness when you stand here. Camping here can also watch the sunrise and sunset. Want to get a feel for it? If you want, come with me, I won't go back tonight, and I will spend the night here. ”
Yan Wanying looked at Aotian who was walking towards the woods and thought: I didn't bring anything, I said camping, camping, how do you spend one night? Although he was puzzled, he still followed him to the woods next to him.
About 200 meters away, a small wooden house appeared in front of me, and I saw Aotianmo take out the key from his trouser pocket and open the small wooden door. Yan Wanying walked in curiously and exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, the equipment is so complete, when did you get it." ”
Aotianmo: "I got it with a few friends five years ago, and I prepared it for temporary camping. Whoever uses it makes up for it to prevent the next temporary camping from being inconvenient. You take water and bread and yoga mats, and I take tents and blankets. “
In less than half an hour, Ao Tianmo set up the tent on the big rock. Yan Wanying hurriedly spread the yoga mat on the stone, put water, bread, and blanket into it.
Maybe it was because she had just slept and Yan Wanying was excited now: "Brother Tian, I was tired just now, come, lie down, I'll give you a massage." With that, he pulled Ao Shao into the tent and lay down, and poured the folded blanket pillow under his head, while he knelt beside him and began to pinch his legs.
looked at Yan Wanying's skillful leg pinching action: "You often pinch people's legs?" Aotian Mo asked.
Yan Wanying continued the movements of her hand and smiled slightly: "When I was a child, I just went to the United States and lived in Uncle Yan's house, and my uncle's family treated me very well, just like a daughter. Every time I saw my uncle coming home from work, he was very tired, and I couldn't help myself, so every time I came home from work, I pinched my uncle's legs, beat his back and shoulders. I hope it will help him relax and relieve his fatigue. Slowly, I got used to it and became natural. ”
Aotian listened to a trace of distress, and when she closed her eyes, she could understand Wanying's mood at that time: others were good to her, she knew but couldn't repay her, so she wanted to do her best to repay the other party, so as to comfort herself, after all, she still felt a little like being under the fence in her heart
。 Yan Wanying felt Ao Shao's emotions: "Don't feel sad for me, everyone will experience different hardships when they come to this world, but people will change their personalities a little because of different living environments and experiences." It depends on what attitude, what angle, and how you face your life. Metaphor: Can you give me a chance to get to know you a little bit? ”
Aotianmo: "You are very smart, you inadvertently turned on me, you want to understand me?" Don't pinch your legs, lean over, let's enjoy this rare comfort away from the city. “
Yan Wanying hurriedly leaned over and looked into the distance with Ao Tianmo's gaze: the endless green mountains seemed to connect to the sky, and occasionally a few small birds flew from one forest to another, and finally turned into a small black dot and disappeared into the forest sea, making people suddenly feel like they were in a still and peaceful world.
Yan Wanying quietly closed her eyes, silently feeling the freshness, tranquility and peace given by nature. Aotianmo reached out and took her into his arms, and the two tacitly adjusted each other to their own comfortable positions.
Looking into the distance, Ao Tianmo's thoughts flew to more than 20 years ago: in his memory before the age of five, the word father only belonged to other children, as for why he didn't, his mother Qin Susu didn't say, and he didn't ask.
At that time, my mother was very busy at work, working two jobs. In the morning, when the newspaper was delivered, his mother always put him on the bicycle front rack and sat down. Then his mother drove him to deliver each newspaper to the customer in laughter and laughter all the way.
I finish my first job around 10 a.m. I started my second job at eleven o'clock, delivering food to fast food restaurants. It's also an old rule, my mother takes herself to deliver fast food, and when she meets a customer who wants to go upstairs, her mother goes upstairs to deliver food, and she stays downstairs and waits for her mother on her bicycle.
At 2 o'clock at noon, the mother and son went back to the rental house to rest for three hours, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, they had to deliver dinner, and from five to seven o'clock in two hours.
When I came back from the evening shift, in a simple rental house of more than a dozen square meters, Xiao Tianmo sat on the bed, while her mother cleaned up and washed the clothes that the mother and son had changed, while teaching her son on the bed to read and write. Then he rested to meet the work of delivering newspapers at dawn the next day, and so on and so on until Xiao Tianmo was five years old.
Due to a continuous heavy rain without warning, the mother and son had a severe cold and were all taken care of by the landlord. Looking at the mother and son who were on a drip, Grandma was so distressed that she burst into tears.
Grandma took her mother's hand: "Susu, I have known each other for five or six years, and from your pregnancy to now, my aunt has never asked Tianhai his father." I know you don't want to say it, and I know that it's not easy for you, to give birth to a son and raise him alone. This strong aunt of yours sees it in her eyes and hurts in her heart. You're good, hard working, and a very good mom. ”
"However, the reality is very cruel, it's not that you are strong, brave, and hard-working, people are not iron-beaten, and when they are sick, there is no one around to take care of them. You also have to think about your child's future, Xiao Tianhai is at the age when he should go to school, who will pick him up after going to school? What about the cost? This child can't do without a father, there is no man in the family, and orphans and widows are easy to be bullied. Grandma analyzed the facts.
"You still have those relatives at home, see if I can help you, think about it. I'll go back and make you breakfast tomorrow morning. Remember what your aunt told you, and think about the test. "Grandma didn't forget to look back when she left.
