Volume 1 Chapter 8 Let's Choose~
The slum is a place where every base is located, where the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled live, and people disappear silently every day, and here are all tents, and tattered cloth covers the top of the tents, so that many holes can be blocked.
Zhang Weiye lives here, his tent is on the edge of the base, close to the wall, this location is quite remote, but he likes this corner very much, it is hidden enough, of course, he thinks so.
"Zhangzi? Came back so early? The voice of an old man could be heard from inside the tent.
Zhang Weiye lifted the tent, looked around, and then entered the tent.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her son's cautious appearance, Miao Cuixiang asked worriedly.
Zhang Weiye made a silent gesture to his mother, and gently opened the cloth bag covered on his chest, revealing the shiny package inside, 5 square compressed biscuits, and Miao Cuixiang, who was startled, quickly covered her mouth.
Zhang Weiye wrapped the biscuits again, dug a hole in the corner, carefully hid them, rummaged through the simple bed he had made with his clothes, found the remaining jewelry of his house, and wanted to run out again.
Miao Cuixiang hurriedly grabbed him, "Wait! After saying that, he got up and ran to the door, listened attentively, opened the curtain and looked at it, and then returned to his bed and took out a bag of things.
"What is this?" Zhang Weiye wondered, he had never seen this bag of things, where did it come from?
Miao Cuixiang raised her hand and touched it, "This is our family heirloom, you go and ask, what can you change." The woman's eyes were full of reluctance and determination.
"Mom! How can this work? "Since the end of the world, Zhang Weiye has not let his mother suffer, although in the eyes of others he is a greedy and cheap gangster, but he has always been filial, his mother worked hard to pull him to grow up, he saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, although his wife and children died sadly, but that can't be helped, there is only one mother, and now I just want to accompany my mother to live the rest of my life.
"I know you want me to change more food, but these things are worthless in the last days, it's good for us to keep it as a thought, now I still have some stock here, it's enough for us, and I'll set up a stall from time to time in the future, enough for our mother and mother to live, let's keep this thought, okay?" Zhang Weiye took his mother's hand and pushed the thing into her arms again.
Miao Cuixiang's eyes were filled with tears, "But now in this world, it's better to keep it than to change it for food!" As he spoke, he threw the things on the bed, and the cloth bag suddenly spread out, and a few jade plates and a ring lay there quietly, waiting for the master's sentence.
"Mom," Zhang Weiye stepped forward and hugged his mother's emaciated shoulders, and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry, your son and I are fine~ Otherwise, how could I find those," said Nunu Mouth, where he hid things, "Put a long line to catch big fish, let's change it all at once, what if something goes wrong with their things later, you see, I have changed all of them, but I know where else there are these things, right, you are the ancestral treasure of our Zhang family, if you change it, it will be gone!" ”
Miao Cuixiang was a little scared by what her son said, "You said you can't eat these in exchange?" ”
"Where are there such clean vacuum biscuits now, don't you know, people take out whole boxes and whole boxes, all for those little ghosts, what are the children giving them, rags, broken phones, where do people still want these! Do you think there is a problem with this cookie? Zhang Weiye looked at his mother and said, "So I think I'll change it first, wait a few days to see, and if those children are okay, I'll take them out and eat them." ”
The mother was touched by her son's wit and praised it again and again.
Zhang Weiye chatted with his mother for a while, and then quietly went out and rushed to the market.
At this time, a cyan figure appeared at the door of Zhang Weiye's house.
When Zhang Weiye arrived at the shop, he was attracted by the woman in front of the door at a glance, the woman sat lazily on the side of the recliner, a fan with a fan, and a plate of exquisite Chinese pastries at hand, the white and tender jade fingers picked up a piece casually, gently put it on the red lips and bit lightly, and the pink little tongue swept slightly on the lips.
"Smack!" The cloth bag in Zhang Weiye's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the whole person looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, such a clean and clear person just sat like this, tilting his head and looking at himself.
Bai Poria blinked her eyes, turned her head to the door and shouted, "Shi Jun, here's a visitor!" ”
Shi Jun in the store heard the scream of his boss, looked at it, and saw a picture of a man drooling at his boss, and his heart suddenly felt depressed.
He glanced at his boss, and then said to Zhang Weiye, "Are you here to change things?" He asked and blocked his view.
Zhang Weiye suddenly came back to his senses, nodded at Shi Jun embarrassedly, picked up the package on the ground and said, "Yes, yes, I still want to ask you what else can be exchanged here?" The latter sentence was said to the white Poria behind Shi Jun.
Seeing that the other party was talking to her, Bai Poria also looked back, "What do you want?" As long as there is something in this world, I have it~" After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth with a fan and chuckled.
Zhang Weiye was dazzled again, and then smirked.
Shi Jun was a little speechless, what should I do if my boss likes to seduce people, wait online, anxious!!
He blocked the two of them again and said to Zhang Weiye, "Of course, you need to pay something of equal value. ”
Zhang Weiye came back to his senses and looked at Shi Jun, his eyes couldn't help but glance in the direction that Shi Jun was blocking, he really couldn't see it, and said to Shi Jun in disappointment, "I want to ......"
What do you want? Before the end of the world, after the end of the world, he never pursued anything, it was all his mother's meaning, his mother wanted him to find a stable job, so he became a civil servant, his mother wanted him to get married, so he cooperated with the blind date, got married, had children, everything went so naturally, he did it, he thought it would be like this for a lifetime, but the end of the world came, everything he did no longer exist, his wife mutated, his son died tragically, only he and his mother who went out survived, the last five years, mutual support so far, If he really wants something, he just wants to accompany his mother to the end of his life, but, is this really what he wants?
"In life, the grass grows in autumn, why?" Bai Poria asked lightly.
Why? Zhang Weiye was at a loss, why... Did you come into this world just to echo your mother?
"No one will walk with you for a lifetime, no one will help you for a lifetime, who are you living for?" Such a simple question is often understood, but unfortunately the final choice is not to let go, reluctant, can't give up, the questions and answers are clear, but there are only a handful of people who really do it.
A hint of strangeness flashed in Bai Poria's mind, so who did she live for?
Zhang Weiye gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to accompany my mother to old age, let her enjoy her old age in peace, the kindness of giving birth to me and raising me has not been repaid, I haven't let her enjoy the blessings, I... There is nothing else to ask for..."In his heart, his father died early, and his mother brought him up alone, no one can bear to give up his biological mother.
Bai Poria sighed, looking like I knew, but she still couldn't bear to say, "Then choose," she got up and walked to the shop, and when she reached the door, she turned around and chuckled, "Protect her for the rest of her life or let her die." ”
