Chapter 496: The Secret in the Wall
One day after the beginning of spring, the diving bird suddenly told the butterfly that he was going to go home immediately, his mother was sick, and he didn't know what the situation was.
At the time of saying this, the diving bird was waiting for the plane at the airport.
Yuan Mei, the mother of the diving bird, for the butterfly, not to mention the feelings, even has no good feelings, from the first time I met her to today, last year I still pretended to talk to myself about the child's affairs, and every time we met, it was not very pleasant. So when she heard this, she didn't have anything to say, and she didn't want to pretend to say something against her heart, according to her temper, she couldn't pretend to be anything. So the tone on the phone was very light.
In addition, it is good for the diving bird to go back, saving three days and two heads under the guise of stopping kites, running to themselves.
After coming a lot, the nosy old lady next door fell in love with her heart, and once asked the butterfly mysteriously: Xiao He, the man who often comes is very good, is it? I see that he packs a big bag every time he comes.
The butterfly had to smile dryly, noncommittal.
This kind of old lady generally likes to get to the bottom of it and say: Who is he? Why haven't you seen it before?
Butterfly had to make an excuse and say, "Oh, he's, well, he's a distant cousin of mine, well, cousin." I wasn't here, but now I'm working here, and I, hehe, are also relatives.
The old lady obviously didn't believe it, but she couldn't do anything, with a half-believing look, this kind of look was really terrible, she said: Oh, distant cousin? Then it should be your mother's......
Oh, and who's going to track down your family tree?
Butterfly immediately interrupted and said, "Oh, I won't tell you, I still have something."
After that, he slipped away.
Now she tiptoes a little every time she goes upstairs, and when she opens the door, she is also very soft, for fear of alarming the old lady next door—suddenly the door creaks, and when she sees you coming back, she pulls you to ask questions.
Butterflies are a bit like frightened birds.
If you say too much, you will lose, and the so-called speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.
For this reason, the butterfly also specially taught the kite: Do you remember, if the old lady next door asks about your father, she will say that it is a distant cousin of your mother, remember? Anyone who asks will say this, or they won't say it at all.
Zhi Kite understands this very clearly, the matter about his father has always been a secret between their mother and son, for this secret, he is very attentive, and he is definitely like a warrior who is tight-lipped and does not say anything about death.
And he has always felt that it is a responsibility to keep this secret for his mother.
Sure enough, one time, the kite went downstairs alone to throw out the garbage, and happened to meet the old lady at the staircase who bought cabbage and came back, so he pulled the kite and said: Little kite, come down to play?
The kite replied very formally: No, my mother asked me to throw out the garbage.
The old lady asked: Have you done your homework?
The kite said, "It's done."
The old lady asked again: How are you studying?
This is the right question, Zhi Kite tilted his head and said calmly: It's okay.
The old lady said: How many are you in the class? I know you're going to be the next best in the exam. One of my nieces is, and she's in high school now.
Zhi Kite said: In this exam, I came first.
The old lady's eyes lit up and she said, "Oh, that's good, isn't it?" First place in the class?
The corners of Zhiji's mouth smiled, and he habitually proudly said: No, it is the first place in the age.
The old lady looked up and down a few times, gave a thumbs up and said, "Good job." By the way, mother-in-law, I have something to ask you.
Zhi Kite stared at her and said, "Grandma, what's the matter?"
The old lady squinted her eyes and said, "Who is the person who often comes to your house?"
Without thinking, he replied: A relative of my mother.
The old lady asked: What kind of relatives? I think I've been coming to your house all the time.
"A cousin of my mother." It seems to be.
The old lady said: Really? So it's your cousin?
Zhi Kite was confused when he heard it, his life circle was originally very simple, just two fathers, a grandmother Gao Ruohan, and no other relatives. If you insist on getting to the bottom of it, you can also find out some, but they haven't been in contact with each other for a long time, and my mother is a person who doesn't like to go to relatives, so it's basically cut off, where will I come into contact with so many weird kinship?
I still can't figure out this kind of interpersonal title, so I said with an ignorant face: This is right, you ask your mother, I don't understand anything else. It's okay, Grandma, I'll go up, Mom is still waiting.
After saying that, he jumped upstairs.
Watching the kite jump up like a rabbit, the old lady was still muttering there: distant cousin, that is, distant cousin, his grandmother's ......
Because she had been questioned like this several times, the butterfly felt suspicious, and it was already strange for the neighbors to know that the diving birds came and went in such a bright light.
Although she originally thought it was nothing, but after several ups and downs in the world, there are some things that you can't help but think about.
But it was inconvenient for her to tell the diving bird, and sometimes her voice would reveal some concerns about this, and the diving bird pretended to be deaf and dumb in that room. The inexplicable look seemed to say: What are you afraid of? What if you get it?
Also, he may also think that let his identity be made public, or corrected.
Faced with the diving bird saying that he wanted to go home to see his mother's phone, the butterfly was heartbroken. So I said, "Okay, go back and watch out for yourself."
After finishing speaking, I felt that it seemed too casual, and after a little thought, she said again: You too, you should be filial to your mother, after all, she is also old, and it is not appropriate to always let her stay alone in her hometown. Don't always be busy with work, pay more attention to your mother, the so-called son wants to raise, the relatives are not there, don't regret it when the time comes.
This is a high-sounding statement, and it is purely from the perspective of a bystander.
But just these few words, but the diving bird is full of bitterness. This is a disease in his heart, where does he not want his mother to stay by his side, his wife and children are full of eyes, and live a normal life of family happiness, but the reality, the reality is so paradoxical and ruthless.
The diving bird wanted to say, "Okay, let's get married, and we'll take care of mom together."
It's just that he can't say it, and he doesn't have the courage and courage to say it. How can you ask a woman to join you in filial piety? Why do you ask for it?
A woman is willing to share the responsibility of filial piety with you, usually because this woman loves you to the extreme. Otherwise, I won't love the house and the Udi to serve your high hall.
If you weigh it in your heart, you will know the cruelty of reality.
Just by virtue of the butterfly's words, it shows that he only has a certain status in the heart of the butterfly. He swallowed bitter water, and then slammed into the plane.
Soon after the diving bird left, the butterfly met Fang Yun for the second time. Since the last meeting, Butterfly has been a little unclear, this time Butterfly didn't want to go to Fang Yun's house, Fang Yun obviously had this intention, and the two made an appointment to have a Japanese hot pot outside.
