As soon as she heard Xiao Yan'er's sudden cry, Tong Minkun suddenly stopped the steps that she was about to go to get a bowl of rice, and looked back at her strangely.

Tong's mother was stunned, relieved herself, first signaled Tong Minkun with her eyes to eat first, and then gently put her hand on Xiao Yan'er's back, comforting and caressing, without asking anything, just silently accompanied her, waiting for her to vent all the pain and grievances in her heart.

Tong Minkun walked to the rice cooker, opened the lid and was just about to cook, but found that the amount of rice in the pot was not enough for the three of them to eat.

He raised his eyes and secretly glanced at his mother, then at the little girl who was crying sadly, thought about it, and finally dug a little bit of rice into his bowl with a rice spoon, put the lid on the rice cooker again, and finally sat down quietly at the table and began to eat.

Mother Tong glanced at Tong Minkun's bowl, and there was another look of concern in her eyes, "Xiao Kun, you are now the time to grow your body, why do you eat such a little food?" ”

"My stomach was still full, I felt hungry after school, and I just ate a loaf of bread on the way. I didn't want to eat yet, but looking at the sweet and sour pork ribs, my mouth was hungry again, so I ate a few bites casually. Speaking lightly, Tong Minkun picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in his mouth.

Tong's mother believed it, and let out an "oh" as if she was nothing, and then focused on the little girl beside her.

After a while, Xiao Yan'er's crying gradually subsided, and she breathed a little unsteadily and coldly snorted a few times before she finally returned to normal.

"yes, I'm sorry. You're eating well, but I'm running to ruin your fun......"

Xiao Yan'er stretched out her hand and wiped the tears on her face, staring at the silent mother and son in front of her, only to realize her ridiculous behavior just now, and quickly bowed her head and apologized embarrassedly.

Mother Tong slowly sat down beside her, looked at her worriedly, smiled distressedly, and shook her head again, "It's okay." ”

"Auntie, I ......" Xiao Yan'er swallowed, as if she had something to say, and after glancing at Tong Minkun who was eating silently with an unnatural expression, she closed her mouth hesitantly.

Mother Tong understood, pondered for a few seconds, got up and took off the apron tied to her body, and carefully helped the little girl to stand up, "Let's go, let's go downstairs and talk about it if we have something to say." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yan'er nodded, and once again inexplicably "let's da" big tears fell in her eyes.

"Xiao Kun, Mom and Xiao Yan'er go downstairs for a walk, you eat well, leave the bowl there, just wait for Mom to come back and clean up, you just have to go back to the room and do your homework with peace of mind, you know?" Tong's mother changed better, opened the door, and turned back uncomfortably.

Tong Minkun obediently made an OK gesture, and immediately waved at her, signaling her to go out with confidence.

Tong's mother accompanied Xiao Yan'er downstairs, and the two walked side by side to a nearby small park.

"Auntie, do you remember Lao Wang that I mentioned to you many times?" Xiao Yan'er stared at the road with her eyes on the road, and walked for a few minutes before she finally choked up and broke the silent atmosphere between the two.

Hearing that Xiao Yan'er first mentioned Lao Wang in such a situation, Tong's mother pursed her lips, had a bad premonition in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and replied softly: "Well, remember." ”

"Auntie, I don't know what I should do now.

I know that he likes me, and he always takes advantage of me when no one is around, and I think he is the cousin of our boss, and I have always dared not offend him in order to keep this job. balance

But last night, Xiao Lin, who slept in the same room with me, had something to do and went back to his hometown, and saw that I was the only one in my room, Lao Wang, Lao Wang, he sneaked into my room quietly while I was sleeping, woke me up, refused to stop, covered my mouth, forcibly, forcibly ......"

Trying her best to stabilize her emotions and say this, Xiao Yan'er couldn't say any more, covered her face, couldn't cry, and two lines of tears suddenly broke down the little girl's still very immature cheeks.

Mother Tong understood everything instantly, she really couldn't imagine how frightened and helpless a nineteen-year-old girl should have been at that time, her body trembled unconsciously, a little chilled, and her face had an extremely complex and indescribable expression.

After the other party experienced this huge injury, Tong's mother wanted to open her mouth to comfort, but for a moment she felt that all her words seemed too pale and weak, and finally shook her throat a few times, without scolding, without comforting, and without accusing the other party of various silent inactions, but caressed Xiao Yan'er's back silently.

What she had been worried about, she didn't expect to happen so soon.

The two sighed and sobbed as they walked out of this old alley, and the scene in front of them changed from unpretentious and peaceful just now to noisy and impetuous.

This change is just like this time last year, when Xiao Yan'er came to this bustling metropolis from her remote hometown with her bags on her back, and no one knew whether it was right or wrong, good or bad.

Tong's mother paused and didn't continue walking, looking at the road in front of her whizzing one after another cars of various brands and models, looking at those passers-by in a hurry, all of which made her suddenly feel a little depressed.

"Little Yan'er, this ...... What are your plans for the future? Tong's mother suddenly spoke slowly.

Xiao Yan'er glanced around coldly, a pair of red and swollen eyes stared at the woman beside her, her eyes were even more confused, and she shook her head, "I don't know, I don't know......

Auntie, woo...... I thought he was just a little dishonest in his life, but I really didn't expect him to do such a thing...... Woowoowoo......"

Mother Tong sighed, "What about Lao Wang?" What did he say? ”

Xiao Yan'er sniffed and calmed down a little, "He, he said that he really likes me, said that he will be responsible for me, and when I am clear, he will marry me as a daughter-in-law when he turns 20 next year." But ......"

"Are you unwilling?"

Xiao Yan'er nodded suddenly, shook her head suddenly, and in the end, even she didn't know whether she wanted to or not.

She wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and suddenly took two small steps forward, and sat down on the edge of the road.

Seeing this, Tong's mother also sat down beside her.

At this time, the sun struggled on the edge of the horizon, perfunctorily leaving a faint afterglow in the vast sky, and there was no temperature or light sprinkled on these two people, it was no longer able to illuminate the dim road in front of them, nor could it warm their hearts, and everything was even more gloomy.

As if this was a hint, suggesting that Xiao Yan'er's future was destined to be bleak and miserable......

After thinking about Mother Tong's question just now, Xiao Yan'er held her knees with both hands and stared down at her toes in resignation, "Auntie, even my body has been ruined by him." Or..... I'm going to live with Lao Wang in the future? ”
