Chapter 359: Ten Thousand Lights
Almost at the same time as Xiao Yan'er's words appeared, Mother Tong's originally loose body suddenly stiffened, tensed all her nerves, and suddenly turned her head to look at her, "What?!" Do you really think so?
But...... But don't you dislike him? ”
This is the first time Xiao Yan'er has seen such a nervous look on Tong's mother's face that is not easy to show emotions, her heart is warm, and she is a little broken for a while, like a daughter who has been greatly wronged hugging her mother, hugging each other like a greatly wronged daughter, "Auntie, why are you not my mother, why are you not ......?"
Mother Tong gently touched Xiao Yan'er's head, her heart full of pity.
Xiao Yan'er was quiet for a while, pursed her mouth, and cried even more aggrieved, "When this kind of thing happens, I don't know what to do, I called my hometown in the morning, and I want to hear my mother's voice."
But...... I can't hide what is in my heart, and before I say a word, my mother heard that my emotions were wrong, and she tried a few words, and I accidentally leaked my mouth......"
"And what did your mom say?"
"My mother scolded me for being shameless at first, but later she found out that Lao Wang was the cousin of the owner of the restaurant, and she saw that he was a local hukou, and then she heard that he was planning to marry me, so she stopped scolding me."
"What? Your mother...... even agreed to let you marry Lao Wang? ”
"Hmm." Xiao Yan'er shook her lower lip and nodded with difficulty, "My mother said that if I marry Lao Wang, it will be considered a high climb, and I will definitely be able to live a good life in the future." ”
Speaking of the words "good day", Xiao Yan'er's eyes flashed with uncertainty, and she was stunned.
"Your mother said so, you really plan to get married?"
"Can you still not get married? I'm dirty, who will want me in the future......"
"You stupid boy, the city is no better than the countryside now. If you meet a man who really likes you, he won't mind this kind of thing. ”
"Really?" Xiao Yan'er looked up at Mother Tong in an instant, her eyes lit up, and she seemed to have a new hope.
However, she quickly lowered her head again, "Forget it, if I don't follow Lao Wang's words, not to mention that I can't keep my job in the small restaurant, I'm afraid my mother will definitely beat me to death." Besides, who would take a fancy to me as a country girl. ”
"Xiao Yan'er, you have to think it through. Marrying is no joke.
I'm from the past, if I marry the wrong man, then life is worse than death.
According to me, since Lao Wang dared to do such a thing last night, thinking that his character is not good, how can such a man be entrusted with his life! ”
"But...... Actually, think about it, although I don't like him, he usually treats me very well. It seems like...... Isn't it that bad? Xiao Yan'er picked her hands, a little shaken in her heart, and a little undecided.
"Xiaoyan'er, are you worried about work? You don't have to worry about this, I ask someone to pay attention to it, and you can always find a job.
We have hands and feet, and we can always find a job and survive. Mother Tong always felt that Lao Wang was unreliable, and she didn't want to watch Xiao Yan'er, who didn't know anything, push herself into the fire pit like this, trying to pull her with her meager strength.
"Auntie, thank you.
Xiao Yan'er knows that her life is not good, and she is stupid, so she will only bury her head in hard work.
I can't help crying because I am bitter and wronged in my heart, but what can I do?
For people like me, even if they leave my mother's hand restaurant and go somewhere else, they will definitely be tired and can't make any money.
Maybe my mother is right, it is already a great blessing for me to be looked at by a city person like Lao Wang who has his own house, what else is there to be dissatisfied with, anyway, I have to find someone to marry in the end.
Wait until next year to marry him, and I'll be able to live a good life soon, right? When the time comes, there will be no need to work so hard alone......" Xiao Yan'er said babblingly, sometimes confused in her eyes, sometimes firm, and faintly a little more expectation in her heart. Dream Chinese
Looking at Xiao Yan'er's obviously a little moved, Mother Tong knew that although this little girl was unhappy in her heart, she had already made a final decision, and she also understood that her originally clean heart had been lost, and she knew that it was not easy for an iron-hearted person to persuade her to turn back, so she had to shake her head helplessly, "Hey, you are still young, your mother is also confused, you think about things in the world too simply."
It is said that there is no free lunch in the world, and there is no white pie in the sky, which has its own mysterious truth......
The reason of the world is such a reason, how much ability to enjoy and how many blessings, only a good life with real guns and ammunition with your own hands is reliable.
The benefits are never in vain, today you eat someone else's mouthful, another day, you have to spit out three or four mouthfuls.
Once this is attached to others, he is afraid that he will be a dwarf in the future......
Xiao Yan'er, listen to my last sentence, there is only one life once, and you have to think carefully about every step.
Forget it, aunt is not your relative after all, what should be said has been said, and what should be persuaded has been persuaded, and the last person who made the decision is still you and your mother. After Tong's mother finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh and patted the other party's slightly rough hand worriedly.
Xiao Yan'er blinked her confused eyes, as if she listened to the words in understanding, and looked at the world of flowers in front of her unmoved, but she became more and more stubborn in the obsession at the bottom of her eyes.
It seems that sometimes there are some truths that cannot be explained, and it is necessary for people to experience it for themselves to make people understand the twists and turns......
Facing the little girl next to her who was lucky enough to have a good life and could get something for nothing, Tong's mother's heart became more and more sad.
At this moment, this woman who had just escaped from a dark marriage was powerless, and she only secretly hoped that everything was too much for herself, and secretly wished this little girl that she could live the good life she wanted to live......
"Xiaoyan'er, you're hungry, let's go, let's go back to eat with my aunt." Mother Tong smiled softly but weakly, and helped Xiao Yan'er up from the curb of the road.
The two stood up one after the other, supporting each other to walk slowly on the road, and a row of dim street lamps on the side of the road turned on at the same time, dragging two longer and longer black shadows behind the two, accustomed to squirming on the ground unvigilantly, silent but extremely strange.
After the two stayed outside for half an hour, they returned home, turned on the lights, and walked into the kitchen, Tong's mother found that Tong Minkun did not follow the instructions, but still started to clean the dirty pots on the stove and the set of chopsticks that he had used up.
She pursed her lips lightly, but she couldn't help but smile lightly, casually heated the dish that she had barely eaten, and took two bowls of rice from the rice cooker and served it to the table.
Tong Minkun was reading a book in the room, and when he heard movement outside the door, he hurriedly walked out.
"Mom, are you back?"
Tong Minkun walked over in slippers, talked casually, ran to the kitchen to get a pair of dishes and chopsticks, returned to the dining table and sat down.
Seeing that Tong's mother looked at her strangely, Tong Minkun touched her nose and coughed lightly, "Mom, that, your dish today is delicious, I smell the fragrance in the room, eat some more, okay?" ”
Tong's mother was stunned for a moment, and remembered the sentence she inadvertently sighed two days ago: "Xiao Kun, in the future, it would be nice if our mother and son could sit and eat together like this every day." She seemed to understand something, and her heart was instantly moved.
"Well, if you like to eat your mother's cooking, eat more, eat more, and your mother will be happy."
With a kind smile, Tong's mother carefully picked up a piece of fried tofu and put it in the other party's bowl.
Tong Minkun silently ate this piece of tofu, chewed and digested it slowly and contentedly, and his mouth was filled with the taste of his mother.
Xiao Yan'er lowered her head thoughtfully, eating her meal silently, feeling unwilling, aggrieved, sad, and bitter...... There seems to be a little bit of a beautiful vision for the future.
The three of them sat quietly around the small dining table, with a black wire hollow lampshade hanging above their heads, quietly scattering beams of golden light.
Xiao Yan'er lowered her head thoughtfully, ate her meal silently, suddenly looked up at the lamp above her head in distraction, and looked at the world outside the window, biting her chopsticks blankly and motionless, staring at the bright lights of the windows on the opposite side one by one, looking at the thriving lights in her eyes, she felt unwilling, aggrieved, sad, and bitter...... There seems to be a little bit of a beautiful vision for the future.
Which light will belong to me in the future?
Xiao Yan'er thought silently in her heart, reached out and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, the taste was sweet in her mouth, and she swallowed it in one gulp, but it was bitter along her throat to the bottom of her heart......
