Chapter 3 Growth
I went back to my bedroom and started planning my adventure, not knowing when I fell asleep. The next day, I cleaned up as usual, and my favorite fried rice was already on the table. Mom and Dad had already finished eating, packed up and got ready for work. I saw that my mother's complexion was much better, and she had basically returned to her calm. Dad is also as usual, it seems that the strangeness of Mom's mood yesterday did not disturb Dad's mood. The learning career is always ordinary and endless, and time passes imperceptibly. It's another drizzly Qingming Festival, this time my mother didn't lead me out, maybe because last time my mother felt a little "inconvenient" with me, it was inevitable that I was a little unhappy, but I thought that my father would go out today. My heart was pounding, and it seemed like I could start my detective activities. I waited a long time to start acting because it always felt a bit bad. I walked slowly to my mother's bedroom, feeling my face hot and my heart pounding. It seems like being a thief!
Once inside, I immediately closed the door and quickly walked over to my mother's dresser. I vaguely remember the last time I found it on the dresser. The dresser is porcelain white and looks clean, just like Mom's personality. The dresser has a total of 5 drawers, one large in the middle and four smaller ones on the right. I started with the big ones, because at that time, I felt that the more things I put in the big ones, the more likely they were. There were some magazines and some books in the drawers, and I couldn't find them when I poured them out. At this point, the search for the second and third drawers began and ended in disappointment. In the end, there was only one drawer left, and I felt a little apprehensive in my heart, and a cold sweat ran down my forehead. I feel like my mother changed places after I found out last time, and if it was, then this time I could only fail. Thinking that I had opened the last one.,It's all some books.,A burst of joy came out of my heart.,There are about 10 of them, I opened them one by one.,The results are all blank.。 At this time, I felt a little weak, and suddenly my eyes lit up, and I found that there was a box the size of Tianzi grid book in the innermost corner of the drawer, and I quickly took it out.
I silently recited some words of blessing in my heart. When I opened it, it was the same as when I saw the book.,The reason why I remember it so clearly.,It's because the book is the color of fire.,It's the same color as the cover of a comic book I like very much.。 Open the first page, on which are the words "pain and happiness" are written. Turning the second page, I woke up from my slumber, and you didn't wait for this moment, and left early. Could it be that when we met, Yue Lao was drunk and pulled the wrong line. Maybe it's just right, so the body is still a little weak! You know, I don't like journaling, and I feel like it's in danger of being discovered. But because of you, I've decided to change it once. I was amazed to see this, because Mom is a very stubborn person who rarely changes for the sake of others. I thought I had to keep looking. In the future, can I write often and write every time I feel like I am talking to you? Will you be impatient, will you be annoyed? I don't think so! Because you are my "fool", after reading the letter you wrote to me, I feel that your stupidity seems to be even stronger, but you can rest assured that I will fulfill your wish. Looking further down, the handwriting seemed to be wet with water, and it was all wrinkled. I'll be discharged in a week, are you happy? I think you'll be happy. I hate you, I hate you for wanting you to die, and now that my dream has come true, my heartache has stopped. Why didn't the gods help me fulfill so many wishes, but this duplicitous wish came true.
The gods played a big joke on me. Can I repent of the gods, or can I make a new wish for resurrection? This time, the gods didn't seem to pay attention to me. After all these years, you still remember that my eyes were bad and didn't make me cry. I wanted to listen to you, but the tears didn't obey me, and I always felt that my eyes were swollen these days. Seeing this, my eyes also turned red, and I unconsciously connected with the last trip. His identity can be determined, but I don't have a chance to call him uncle. I wonder how my mother started a new relationship after experiencing such a deep relationship? There's a letter, but where is it? At this time, I was completely immersed in the diary, and I didn't notice that my mother didn't know when she stood by my side. "Tianyun, what are you doing?" That's Mom's first word. After waking up with this sentence, he was immediately covered in a cold sweat. Trembling said, "Look at your diary"! Mom said gently, "You will know these things, but you are still young, and you should focus more on your studies." Then my mother said, "I'll tell you when you go to college." Hearing that my mother was not angry because of this, she put it in her stomach, and said with some displeasure: "That's going to have to wait a long time"!
Mom smiled faintly and said, "No matter what, you have to be a little patient to achieve something!" It sounded like it made sense, so I nodded. Mom opened the middle drawer and took out an envelope, feeling thick inside, I don't know what. Mom then said: "Have you planned the Qingming Festival for these three days?" As soon as I talked about this, my mood began to be a little depressed. Every holiday is the happiness of my classmates, and it is indeed my pain. Because every holiday, in addition to completing my homework, I also have to clean up the house. It's also called exercise, why don't they exercise, I am really ashamed to have such benefits! At this time, my mother had already walked to the door and said, "If you can bear it, there will be a surprise when the time comes"! Hearing such words, the gloom in my heart gradually dissipated. Will it be a big red envelope, just like the Chinese New Year. After thinking about it, how could she give me a red envelope when she was so slammed? Suddenly there was a feeling of inspiration, could it be the letter?
My time at home is really a bit boring, and my only entertainment other than doing homework and tidying up is reading books. I remember when I was in first grade, I always saw my mother reading a book on the sofa at home every day after school. So I strongly asked my mother to buy me books to read. My mother first bought me comic books, such as "Slam Dunk" and "Soccer Kid", and as I got older, the pictures in the books grew in inverse proportion to the text. You may ask, "What about TVs, mobile phones, computers"? I want to say that I don't have a computer at home, I have a TV but I don't have that kind of box, and as for the luxury of a mobile phone, I feel like my mother will buy it for me when I get to college! At one point, it made me feel like an alien. Sometimes you can only get past it when you're in school. You can imagine how hard your parents are and how hard they go out to save money! What puzzled me was that my mom and dad also often participated in unit donation activities, just look at the award certificate in their bedroom. I really can't figure it out, and the certificate can't be eaten as a meal, what's the use? Heredity is really scary, and although I complain about them, I am also very picky.
Basically, I never buy water outside, unless I am really thirsty, I will buy a bottle of mineral water. Sometimes I think that my family is not so difficult as this, why should I be so frugal. Thinking so crankily in his head, he sighed at his tragic fate with "Camel Xiangzi" in his hand, and felt that life was not bad! Isn't this a benefit of reading a book? One thing I have to say is that the habit of reading books really has a little advantage that it is not difficult to write essays. The teacher assigns an essay, and it can be written quickly, as if the material in the mind is inexhaustible, and it is often excellent. Half of the day has passed, and the afterglow of the setting sun has already fallen on my desk. After a while, my father came back, feeling a little happy that I finally had someone to talk to. I hurried to the door to greet my father. Seeing my father's smile on his face, I asked, "What's so good about making me so happy today"! Dad said with a gloomy face: "My colleague's mother is seriously ill, so I went to help a little." I said unhappily: "Be Lei Feng again"! "Just give a few thousand, and solve any problems," Dad said embarrassedly.
I smacked my tongue and muttered, "It's enough to buy me a phone." You see that there seems to be no generational distinction in our family, yes, my parents have never used authority to oppress me, they all beat me with those endless truths. Dad smiled and didn't say anything, it was the kind of smile that meant it, and I didn't understand it. Then he said: "Today's house is cleaned up"! I smiled with satisfaction and raised my head and said, "You know how to bully children." When my father heard me, he laughed and said, "How else can I praise my son!" I was immediately defeated, like a defeated rooster helplessly saying "Daddy is always right"! Dad then said, "All right! Don't lose your temper, how about your mother is not at home tonight and your father will open you a small stove"? When I heard it, I was full of interest and asked, "What are you doing?" Dad said mysteriously: "Messy rice stew"! As soon as I heard this, I immediately collapsed. To put it bluntly, rice stew is to put the leftovers together and heat them up. After saying that, Dad changed his clothes and went into the kitchen. At this time, I felt like I was going to go crazy, although I also like to eat stewed rice, but why is my father so kind to outsiders, but so cruel to his own son! I like cod too, so why don't you buy it!
My family's leftovers were never thrown away, and we were all a family of three sharing the gospel. It seems that today is exclusive to my grandfather, will it be a little inauthentic? My grandmother told me: "The era of two taels of grain". That is, each person can only eat two taels of grain per day. I feel that my family is sometimes a two-tael family of this era. After a while, my father called me to eat. I sat down at the table and asked tentatively, "Where do you think mom went?" Dad said indifferently, "Your mother went to see a friend's parents and will be back tomorrow." I looked surprised. Dad seemed to see through my thoughts and said, "Okay, let's discuss it again after eating, or won't such a good delicacy be cold?" I pouted in protest. But I did get a little hungry, and I felt good about it. Immediately had a storm with his father. It looks like Dad went to help today and no one took care of the food, so much to eat. Needless to say, the work after eating is mine, so it's better to be conscious.
After packing up, go to Daddy. Seeing that my father was waiting for me, I felt that whatever secret in my heart could be detected by my father. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Daddy, you know him". "Yes!" Dad quickly said, "Your mother told me his story, and read his letters and diaries." I didn't know how to react at once, I used to think only of some things that my dad might know very shallowly. After calming down for a while, I said suspiciously, "Don't you have any other emotions?" I read the novel, at this time, the male protagonist should not let her go! Dad smiled and said, "There are some things that you can't stop if you want to, and two people should give each other some space when they are together, so that they can get along." Dad is very touched by this, but I don't understand, if I were Dad, I wouldn't agree, why should my wife go to see her ex-boyfriend's parents, it's not good. Dad ignored my doubts and continued: "The reason I didn't go was because I was afraid that your mother would be embarrassed." I was even more surprised when I heard this, could it be that my father was a saint in ancient times, and he could be so generous.
Dad said again: "Tight is loose, loose is tight". Hearing this, I wanted to run away. Dad saw my impatient look and said, "There are some things that you will understand when you have experienced them"! I nodded wryly. Surprisingly, my father talked to me a lot today, but I didn't pick up the ancient text to read. When it comes to my heroic history of overcoming rigidity with softness, I am still very smug, and I pout, my face full of distrust. Finally, my father said to me, "I have a pact with your mother that I will tell you when you go to college." By this time, I was leaning on my father's shoulder and almost falling asleep. Said in a daze: "Dad, I'm sleepy and go to sleep." Drowsiness is such a magical thing, and once it hits, nothing else matters.
I slept late yesterday and didn't get up until 8 o'clock the next day. When I got up, my father had already gone out, and there was a small note on the dining table: Make breakfast by yourself, and my father has something to go out. I was a little unhappy when I saw the content, and I had to make my own food. After washing, warm the milk and take out the bread. Actually, I don't like to eat these very much, I always feel that I can't eat enough, isn't it outdated? When I was eating, I thought back to the diary I read yesterday, and a thought came to my mind, did my mother ever have a serious illness? Thinking of this, I blushed, am I very unfilial? I didn't pay attention to such important information, but I only cared about my curiosity.
How sad it would be if Mom knew. My mother never scolded me harshly after I did something wrong, and usually said, "Mom is so sad, if you don't do it, Mom won't be sad." Every time I surrender and take the initiative to admit my mistakes, listen to my father's story yesterday, is my mother learning from my father? Today's holiday, the holiday does not have too much temptation for me, because the holiday is more tiring than going to school, and my classmates often wonder about my thoughts about the holiday, they became the emperor during the holiday, but I became a servant during the holiday. Why is fate so tragic?
Today, my mother came back at about the same time as last time, but when she came back this time, her face was not so good, but the tears on her face were faintly visible. Carrying a white incubator in his hand. I held the book in my hand and asked curiously, "What's in the box?" Mom smiled and said, "There's something delicious"! Mom is always willing to sell off. "Why don't you do it yourself?" I thought, and I quickly got up from the couch and took the box. "It's okay to watch, but after reading it, I want you to clean it up in the refrigerator"! Mom said with a sly smile. When you hear this, you know that you are fooled, you know that you are bullying children, and you don't know that there is a juvenile protection law?
Because of the curiosity in my heart, I didn't care too much, so I quickly took it to the kitchen to decrypt it. When I opened it, I saw that there was still the clam meat that my mother was willing to eat last time, and there was something similar to a centipede underneath, and ice at the bottom. The clam meat I ate last time I didn't feel good, I don't know what this centipede-like thing is. At this time, my mother had already changed into slippers and walked into the kitchen. Seeing the confusion on my face, he said: "Those with many legs are called shrimp crawlers, and we call them 'Pipi shrimp'." I think it's funny to hear the name, and it should taste good. Mom said, "Grandpa bought the seafood first when he rode a tricycle to the market!" I imagined my grandfather's car struggling with some leg problems, and my heart was moved. People who felt stupid gathered together. It's really like people gather and things are divided into groups. Mom looked at the clean kitchen and said happily, "What a good son of Mom". "Isn't there something better to praise you"? I sneered. I wanted to confirm my thoughts, so I asked, "Mom, have you ever been seriously ill?"
Mom showed a look of memory on her face, and her eyes were a little red, and she said, "Well, that's the best memory without memory." I was a little puzzled and asked, "I don't understand"! Mom didn't seem to want to answer the question and said, "You'll know when you grow up, I'll go rest for a while, and you can pack up your things." "But I want to know now," and thought unhappily, "when will that time come!" With that in mind, I put things in the freezer.
Childhood memories are always painful, unforgettable, and beautiful memories, and it is only when you enter society that you will have a deep understanding of this sentence. Time in childhood is always slow, and time in adulthood is always fast. It seems that time is not fair to people. When you have something, you have more than you can use up, and when you don't have anything, everything becomes scarcer! School life is always sweet and regular, and even more so in high school. Busier than bees every day, 24 hours a day, half the time is spent studying. At this time, I was already living on campus, and I basically only went home once a month. My parents said that I had grown up and that I should learn to be self-reliant as soon as possible.
The word self-reliance is not an unfamiliar word to me for a long time, does it still need to be emphasized? On the contrary, they are really ruthless, don't they miss their sons? When the first year of high school started, I saw that the parents of my classmates would send a lot of food on Saturdays and Sundays, and they would also bring a change of clothes for the next week, which was the parents of my roommate Zhao Yan. If you think about it, your life is really hard, and you have to rely on yourself for everything. At the beginning of the laundry is interesting, washing a set of school uniforms almost uses half a bag of laundry detergent, and the washed clothes are naturally embroidered with white flowers. After asking my mother, I always wash with soap, because soap is easy to clean. After high school, I seem to have a different reaction to the opposite sex than before.
Especially the class flower in our class, her name is Wang Xiaolei. She smashed her ponytail and had talking eyes on her duck-egg-shaped face. Every time I see it, my heart always jumps. It feels like she has a crush on me, and she always asks me about math problems that I don't know. Sure enough, men often have blind confidence that they feel good about themselves. I was one of the best in my math class at the time, and maybe that was the only reason. I always find various reasons to get close to Xiaolei, and a month passed quickly. Since my mind was full of that face every day, my heart was disturbed by wonderful feelings. When I found out the results of the monthly exam, I was not too surprised. Of the 43 students in the class, I took 38 in the exam, which was the first time in my life, and I don't know how to tell my parents.
After getting off the bus, I walked listlessly on the way home, thinking about their endless truths, and feeling a little bored in my heart. Before I knew it, I had walked to the front of the house and was about to open it. I didn't expect the door to be pushed open from the inside, and I accidentally hit my head, and it felt so painful. The mother said anxiously: "My son is fine, I am going to open the door to take a look at the estimated time when you put it back." I touched my forehead with my hand and said in a deep voice, "It's okay." I looked into the room again and saw my father sitting on the couch and looking out the door. I can't help but be a little shocked, why did the personnel who often work overtime come back so early, do they miss me and want to see me earlier? "Son, come in quickly," came a cheerful and rugged voice. After changing into slippers, he walked to his house and said to them, "I'm tired and want to rest first." Dad and Mom looked at each other, and Mom said go! Mom smiled and said, "Mom cooks today." I would have jumped for joy if I heard the news in the past, but today I was not interested. When I returned to the house, I put my schoolbag on the desk and lay down on the bed.
Then I heard a knock on the door and I said, "Come in." Dad walked in with a smile and asked, "I didn't do well in the monthly exam"! As soon as I heard it, I felt that my father was really annoying, and I could see the hidden meaning behind his expression every time. I sat up slowly and replied, "Hmm." "Didn't you play well, son"? Dad said suspiciously. I was stunned for a long time and said, "Because...... Because of a girl". Dad said with a clear expression: "I'm in love." I didn't have the slightest surprise and said, "No, my heart pounds when I see her, and I still think about her every day."
Hearing this, Dad actually laughed, and laughed for a long time before saying, "It turns out that it's still hot to shave your head"! I had a big red face, and I didn't know how to get back, because I couldn't talk about this feeling. Dad said, "It's normal, it's normal for you to feel this way at your age." This time, I was confused. Dad continued: "I remember that I was beaten up by your grandmother because of such a thing!" When I heard this, my mood improved a little. Looking up at my father, he gently did it to my side and said: "You are still young now, there is still a long way to go for you, when you experience more, some thoughts and cognitions will naturally change." Dad thought for a moment and continued: "This is a good opportunity, there are always two sides to things, you should think about what is more important to you in the future, and how to deal with your feelings".
I nodded as if I had realized something, "Got it, Dad." There are some threads in my head, but I can't hold on to them. My dad didn't ask me about my test results. After some time, I heard a gentle voice: "My son has come out to eat." Hearing this, I shook off the confusion in my head and walked briskly to the restaurant. I was happy to see that the 4 dishes on the table were all willing to eat, and it seemed to hide the unhappiness in my heart. You must know that my family only stir-fry 4 dishes during the holidays, and usually 2, sometimes even only one. Thinking of this, I asked in confusion, "What is today's holiday?" The mother said happily: "Of course, my son has been back for a long time, of course, it is a festival"! This sentence turned into a warm current, I felt that the tears were about to come out, and I hurriedly held back, and the previous complaints disappeared.
They still love me. My family lives so frugally only because my father often said, "Life should be simple". My mother seemed to see that I was moved and said, "Taste it and see how it tastes." I hurriedly sat down and was the first to eat cod, and as soon as the fish reached my mouth, I felt like I was inhaling thick smoke, so salty. Then I ate half a bowl of rice in one go. I thought, "Sure enough, they are still so frugal, but salt and salt also cost money"! Seeing my embarrassed expression, Dad took a bite himself, and Dad said with a slightly strange expression: "It tastes good, maybe you may be a little uncomfortable with the taste of home after a long time at school." When he spoke, he wanted me to winkle his eyebrows.
I said, "Probably!" Mom had a strange expression on her face. The last plate of fish was basically wiped out by Dad, so that after the meal, Dad had a glass of water after a glass of water. Mom smiled and asked, "Is the Zhijun fish very salty?" Dad shook his head as he drank water. I couldn't hold back my laughter. Dad pretended to be stern and said, "What are you laughing at, what I'm saying is the truth!" After saying that, he went to drink water again. Mom's smile widened. I used to hear my father say that my mother was good at cooking when she was not married, but when she married her father, she basically never cooked, and her father basically cooked it. Dad's cooking skills are still inherited from Mom! Look at the apprentice surpassing the master.
This holiday was basically the same as before, but I felt like time was ticking. On the morning of school, I was reluctant to go out of the house, and my father patted me on the shoulder and said, "You have become a man, you can't be so mother-in-law, just like an eagle about to spread its wings and soar, don't covet the nest." I smiled helplessly and said, "Dad, how can everything be connected to the truth." Mom also nagged me a little more than usual and told me a lot. Sitting on the bus back to school, I was a little overwhelmed by her face and her father's words at the same time. When I arrived at school, I was still thinking about what to do on the way to class.
