134 The Past of the Golden Beauty
"It's coming." As soon as Zhao Guodong and Xiao Yingzi entered the door, Jin Meiren was already waiting at the gate. "Come in and look at the house I've cleaned up for you."
Xiao Yingzi leaned on the car and looked at the place she hadn't been to for nearly three years. The surrounding courtyard walls have been repainted, and the original low, dilapidated and dark houses behind them have disappeared, and the three new bright red brick houses have replaced their original locations, and the red brick walls are inlaid with doors and windows made of new wood, and Xiao Yingzi can vaguely smell the smell of paint.
As soon as you enter, there is a kitchen, a brand-new stove, and a brand-new dining table, and on the left is an earthen kang, which has been laid out, and there is a quilt and mattress, and there is a table and a stool. The room on the right is not a clay kang, but a brand new bed, with a sponge mattress and a cloth cover, and a circle around the bed.
There was also a table in the room, much larger than the one on the left, with a few books and ink on it, and a brand new lamp, and a chair with a backrest, and a small cushion on it, and a small cabinet under the table, and a delicate little lock on it. There are also curtains made of floral cloth on the windows here.
"How?" Jin Meiren saw that Xiao Yingzi was already stunned, and Zhao Guodong looked much calmer than Xiao Yingzi, but her eyes were obviously different.
"It's so beautiful." Xiao Yingzi looked here and there, with a look of joy and uncontrollable excitement.
"Why don't you speak, you should live in this house." Jin Meiren asked Zhao Guodong, who didn't say a word next to her.
"How much does this rent cost?" Zhao Guodong thinks that this house is good, better than those houses on the street, and even better than some restaurants, but he has to consider not only how the room is, but also whether he can afford it.
"Don't care about the rent, tell me how the house is." Kim Meiren said.
"Of course the house is good, it's the price ......." Before Zhao Guodong's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Jin Meiren.
"That is, this house was built last year, rented to someone else for a year, and then they stopped renting it. Didn't you want to come over, so I found a carpenter, and hit these tables, stools, chairs, and this bed, oh, by the way, and this curtain was also newly replaced by me, and I didn't change the stove in the kitchen, so I didn't have time to do it, but the tenant on it didn't use it, so I wiped it a little. Kim Mei-jin said.
"The bunks in that room, as well as the mattresses in this room, are all newly made by me, I'm afraid you won't be used to it, and I apologize to you for what I did to you before." Kim Meiren said.
"No, how can we afford it like you, such a good house, you should rent it to those who have a little money, I have nothing." Zhao Guodong said.
"I just like your honest appearance." After Jin Meiren finished speaking, the people in the room were stunned, Zhao Guodong didn't know how to answer the road, Xiao Yingzi looked at these two people curiously, and the expression that seemed to be smiling made Jin Meiren at a loss, "That one, Xiao Ying, I'll give you something." ”
Jin Meiren took out a bunch of keys from her pocket, handed them to Xiao Yingzi, and pointed to the small cabinet under the table, "This key is on that small cabinet, don't you children talk about privacy or something, I'll get you a cabinet, if you have any little secrets in the future, you will lock it inside, and no one will let you know it." This is a total of three keys, all for you. ”
"Really?" Xiao Yingzi couldn't believe it when she looked at the shiny key.
"Of course it's true, you live in this room, and your uncle lives in the room next to it." Kim Meiren said.
"Xiao Yingzi, don't take what you shouldn't take." Zhao Guodong said.
"What are you doing, scaring the kids?" Jin Meiren said, "Xiaoying, if you take it, it will be a small gift from your aunt." ”
"Sister Jin, you treated us like this, and you changed everything in this house, and we can't afford to pay the rent." Zhao Guodong said.
"What are you afraid of, how to calculate the rent before, how to calculate it now." Kim Meiren said.
"How can that work, you see that your house, and the furniture in it are all new, how can this house be counted as five or six thousand a year, you rent it to us so cheaply, don't you suffer a loss." Zhao Guodong said.
Although Xiao Yingzi was reluctant, she still put the set of keys in her hand into Jin Meiren's hand, "Xie Lu Xie, Auntie, I can't ask for your key, we can't afford the rent here, so we won't live." ”
"Cripple Zhao, you are still not a person. When do you want such a big child to live on the streets like you at night, just like back then, running around with the elderly and children? Jin Meiren hissed a little, "Even if you can't bear it, I can't bear it, where is there such a dead-eyed person as you, it's cheaper for you, you still dislike cheap, you have the ability to go out and find a house, on the entire street of Liuzhen, if you find a house tomorrow, you can bear it." ”
"I can't afford to live, I won't live there, if not, let Xiaoying live in the school, and I'll go outside to work by myself." Zhao Guodong said.
"Fart, what will this little girl of your family think about the shitty place where you went out to work and live, she doesn't think if she dragged you down, and you can't cry when you don't see anyone alive or dead, and you can't cry." Jin Meiren pulled Xiao Yingzi to her side, "Xiao Ying, you live here, I want to see what he can do to you." ”
"Auntie, I want to be with Gordon's father." Xiao Yingzi said crisply.
"Daddy Gordon?" Jin Meiren was stunned, what kind of strange name is this, "Who is you Guodong, Guodong's father?" ”
"I am." Zhao Guodong said.
"Phew, just like you, you are still a father with such a good child, is it a shame, is it not a shame, you are still a qualified father by pulling the child to suffer with you?" Jin Meiren's words poked Zhao Guodong's pain, Zhao Guodong glanced at Xiao Yingzi, and walked out of the hall with his head down.
"Hey, where are you going?" Jin Meiren and Xiao Yingzi chased out of the gang and saw Zhao Guodong sitting on the board car smoking a stuffy cigarette.
"Auntie, Gordon's father is very good to me, and I am willing to endure hardships with Gordon's father." Xiao Yingzi snuggled up to Zhao Guodong's side and said.
"Xiaoying, you will clean up in the room first, and I will say a few words to your Guodong's father." Jin Meiren also knew that her words just now hurt Zhao Guodong, so she let Xiao Yingzi go back, leaving herself and Zhao Guodong in the courtyard.
"Well, I think I said the wrong thing." Kim Meiren said.
"No, you're not wrong, it's because I don't have the ability to let Xiaoying follow me to suffer hardship." Zhao Guodong lowered his head and smoked vigorously.
"I remember you never smoked, why do you smoke one cigarette after another now?"
"I can't help it, so I smoke it when I'm upset."
"You won't solve anything by smoking like this." Jin Meiren sat next to Zhao Guodong and said, "Do you think I did this for you, you look down on you, I am for Xiaoying." ”
"She is such a little girl, a person without a father and mother, following a person she wants to believe, suffering and suffering, I can't bear to look at it, we have a child in the neighborhood, and Xiaoying is a student of the same year, and every time I say that Xiaoying has taken the first place in their age. He said that every day he saw Xiaoying never eat alone, and he was alone in the school library with a steamed bun and ate there with a glass of cold water. ”
"Do you know what I think? Yes, I used to be really not very good, I know how the people in Liuzhen scolded me, but I have thought clearly over the years, a person, especially a single woman, there is no need to be in the limelight, to say something unpleasant, I was all cheap before, and I looked down on myself when I was cheap. Zhao Guodong was surprised, what happened to Jin Meiren today, how could she say such a thing.
"Do you think I was like that before, or do you think I'm just an occasional discovery of conscience? No, you don't know what to do. I was also an orphan before, and it was two old people who took me in, and they also had a son who was ten years older than me, and they lived a very hard life, but when they saw that I was alone on the streets of Liuzhen and could not eat, they took pity on me and took me in. ”
"That's right, I'm the same as Xiaoyingzi, hardworking and sensible, but the good times don't last long, the two old people died in a few years, and when they died, they let his son take good care of me, but what I never expected was that their son was a beast, and on the night of the old man's absence, he ruined me, I desperately resisted, but I was a child, how could I resist him like a wolf and a tiger." Zhao Guodong clearly saw anger and tears in Jin Meiren's eyes.
"He locked me in the room alone during the day, and at night he came back drunk and put me at will, I tried to escape, but after he found out, it was a violent beating, and then I didn't dare to run, I was afraid of being beaten by him. He would torture me every day in a different way, make me wear that kind of revealing clothes, and then he would laugh there and laugh fiercely, and when he had laughed enough, he would start torturing me. Zhao Guodong listened quietly to this woman's past.
"I don't know when he learned to gamble, every time he lost, the first thing he did when he came back was to beat me, scolded me for being a broom star, made me drink his urine, lay on the ground to eat shit, learned to bark dogs, and then every time he came back, he would bring one or several men back, and as soon as he came back, I would take me into the house, and then sit outside by myself, let those men come in and torture me, and after those people left, he would come in and beat me and scold me, and make me do all kinds of shameless things."
Jin Meiren's eyes looked very hollow, her hands were clenched tightly, Zhao Guodong could think of what kind of days Jin Meiren lived in those years, dark days.
