Volume II, Chapter 41: Mother's Entrustment
Mother spoke in a very small voice, so thin that she could barely hear it, perhaps because of some weakness. After her mother finished speaking, she was still facing Nannan, but her eyes were lowered, deliberately avoiding Nannan's gaze.
Nan Nan watched her mother's right hand rub slightly back and forth on the edge of the bowl, and guessed how entangled her mother was at the moment. And hearing her mother mention He Qin, Nan Nan's heart couldn't help but become heavy. Now that she knew the past between the two, her heart couldn't help but be much more complicated about it. I don't know if it's too much of my mother's emotions, my mother always feels guilty and apologizes to He Qin. But Nan Nan still agreed to her mother's request, and she said, "Okay, after I finish breakfast, I'll go to visit Aunt He Qin." Nan's tone was as relaxed as possible so as not to embarrass her mother.
After hearing this, the mother immediately raised her eyes, and the moment she made eye contact with Nan Nan, Nan Nan clearly saw that something seemed to light up in her mother's eyes, but it was quickly obliterated. Mother pursed her lips slightly, and she looked embarrassed, as if she had something to say. Mother's hands quietly retracted to her chest, and her right thumb and index finger pinched her left index finger and wrenched uneasily. In the end, my mother still said, "Nannan, can you help me transfer another bouquet of yellow roses to Aunt He Qin?"
After hearing this, Nan Nan carefully grinded it, and it was clear that she understood that Yellow Rose also extended the meaning of apology. He nodded and promised, "Okay, I'll bring a bouquet of yellow roses to Aunt He Qin."
When the mother heard this, she was relieved, which was considered to be reassured. She leaned back, her hands no longer intertwined, and placed them on the edge of the table. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her mother straightened her waist again, and moved closer to Nannan, her hands half-hanging on the table with a little force. The mother looked at Nan Nan, frowned, and closed her lips, but she still squirmed twice, and her face suddenly stared at Nan Nan, and suddenly glanced away. It was a tangled look, just when the mother couldn't bear it anymore and was about to speak, Nan Nan first interrupted the words that her mother was about to blurt out.
"I'll take another bouquet of rosemary with me." Nan Nan said this, she understood that since her mother wanted her to visit Ah Qin instead, she naturally refused to make He Qin suspicious, and she could see something from it. Nan Nan opened her mouth ahead of her mother, she saw her mother's hesitant and difficult to speak, her heart was really strange and uncomfortable, and she was very distressed by her hesitation and difficulty in facing it.
Mother listened to Nan Nan's words, she was stunned at first, she looked at Nan Nan, her eyes were shocked, but soon she smiled slightly. Mother nodded to Nannan, her eyes were a little red, and her eyes were also covered with a thin layer of mist, her mother's two eyeballs rolled up at the same time, and then blinked her eyes quickly twice, and the layer of mist disappeared in an instant, leaving only the corners of her eyes, still revealing a little red.
"Quick, drink the soup quickly, it's cold, and the taste won't be so good." The mother looked down at Nannan's unfinished soup, looked at her again, and raised her chin a few times in a row, slightly, signaling to urge.
After Nan Nan listened, she held the bowl in her left hand and the spoon in her right hand, scooping and drinking one bite after another. The soup was a little cold, but it was still warm, and it was still a little warm in her stomach, and this warmth soon spread all over her body, which was completely opposite to the cold air temperature in this late autumn. And in this process, Nan Nan was a little nauseated, and she didn't feel like she wanted to vomit. In dang
Nan Nan finished the last mouthful of soup and put the bowl and spoon on the table, as she finished eating the last red date and spit the date core into a paper towel. Nan Nan looked up and crumpled the paper towel wrapped in four jujube cores into a ball and pinched it in the palm of her hand. Nan Nan raised her eyes to see her mother's surprised look, she opened her mouth slightly, her eyes widened, but in her eyes, it was full of joy and excitement, I saw that my mother opened her mouth a little wider, but it was slightly closed, and then opened again, after repeated several attempts, my mother finally said: "Nan, Nannan, are you full?" Would you like to eat some more?" The mother's voice trembled a little, and at first she couldn't even speak.
And Nan Nan, too. She was overjoyed, her heart was still pounding, and it was overflowing with excitement and surprise. Nan Nan was very carried away by this crazy jubilation, the corners of her eyes were sour, but she was suppressed by Nan Nan, she didn't want to shed tears in her mother. Nan Nan touched her stomach and felt it carefully, it was indeed a feeling that the food was filled, and Nan Nan felt that she could still eat something. But if you do this, you will inevitably let yourself hold up and vomit. Due to Nan Nan's previous excessive dieting, and the overeating, under her two extreme friendship cycles, Nan Nan's stomach perception seems to have been damaged to a certain extent, she can't correctly recognize whether she is full, she can only judge whether she can still eat, whether she is eaten. Until now, Nannan is still like this, and it is seriously affected.
"I'm full." Nan Nan replied, and after speaking, she threw the tissue in her hand into the trash can at her feet.
"Good, good, good." The mother still had a happy expression on her face, and did not show any disappointment because of Nannan's answer. The mother seemed to want to say something, but she didn't know what words to say, so she could only repeat the same word over and over again, and nodded her head a few times.
Seeing her mother's appearance, Nan Nan couldn't help but smile dumbly, and the guilt in her heart increased suddenly. For her, her mother is the most important person in her life, but at the same time, Nan Nan made her mother work hard for herself for a year, seeing her mother becoming more and more haggard, with rapid gray hair and wrinkles, she should still not be considered old, but because of herself, she looks much older than her peers. And Nan Nan herself has nothing to do to stop it, and she herself is tortured because of this. As long as Nan Nan thinks that he can bring Kuan Wei to his mother, it is only a little food that he can eat, which is something that a normal person can do, but it is difficult for Nan Nan, and it cannot be done easily. is also the only reason for my mother to cry every night. Nan Nan thought about this, and her heart was sour and astringent, that is, she even tasted a trace of bitterness in her mouth. Nan Nan felt that her eyes were about to fill with tears, so she immediately turned her head away, insisting that she would not blink her eyes, and that she was going to force the warm liquid back.
"Mom, it's a quarter past eight, and I'm going out." Nan Nan knew that her mother was looking at her, and she didn't want her mother to see her like this, so she looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the living room, and found an excuse to prevaricate her mother.
"Ahh Mother was really stunned when she heard this, she shouted softly, quickly turned around, and looked back at the time on the clock, "Yes, I have to hurry." As she spoke, her mother stood up, took the bowl and spoon in front of her in one hand, and the bowl and spoon in front of Nan Nan in the other, and hurriedly walked to the kitchen, turned on the faucet, and went to wash the dishes.
Nan Nan listened to the sound of the water coming from the kitchen and the impact of the porcelain bowl, mixed with the sound of the porcelain bowl and the bowl and spoon. She deliberately turned her back to the kitchen and twisted to the side. It was only then that Nan Nan lowered her head and let the tears that had been held in her eyes flow down drippingly. Then, Nan Nan swept these tears away from her face in a panic, thus wetting the back of her hand, and she didn't care, just wiped them indiscriminately, so as not to let her mother see and make her feel distressed. Nan Nan bit her lower lip to stop her tears with a little pain, and she wiped her hands on her face to prevent any tears from appearing on her face.
Just after Nan Nan heard that there was no more noise in the kitchen, she also stopped crying and cleaned herself up, and there was no sign of crying. It was at this moment that Nan Nan turned back and looked in the direction of the kitchen.
I saw my mother walking out of the kitchen with a white food thermos box in both hands, my mother's steps were a little slow and heavy, and the expression on her face also left a kind of indifferent sadness. Mother walked to Nan Nan's side, Nan Nan had no choice but to get up from the chair, the two looked at each other without saying a word, just one entrusted and the other accepted. Nan Nan hugged the thermos box, and her mother kept looking at the thermos box, "I don't know if she likes to drink this soup or not." The mother suddenly muttered, and then she looked at Nan Nan again, as if thinking about something, and then she looked like she wanted to say something.
"If she likes to eat, I'll tell you about it. If she doesn't like it, I'll ask her what she likes to eat. Nan Nan easily guessed what her mother was thinking, so she rushed ahead of her and replied.
After hearing this, her mother lowered her head again, she shrugged her shoulders, and sighed again, "Mom also knows that she did something wrong, but Mom doesn't have the courage to face Aunt He Qin, and now, she has to do these little things to make up for it as much as possible." It was my mother's very low voice, and her tone sounded very weak.
Nan Nan wanted to comfort her mother, but she didn't know what to do, and she didn't know what to do. After all, this matter has nothing to do with himself, but the entanglement between his mother and He Qin can only be resolved by these two people. Nan Nan knew that she really couldn't help, so she had to say: "I know, I will always visit Aunt He Qin for the next few days." ”
After hearing this, the mother raised her head and looked at Nan Nan, but she was speechless. There were too many emotions in her mother's eyes, mixed together in a variety of ways, so that Nan Nan couldn't tell what was in it for a while.
"Thank you." In the end, the mother said these two words, but the tone was full of affection and meaning, and the mother's expression was also extremely serious.
Nan Nan just shook her head, indicating that it was okay, she was a little uncomfortable with her mother's expression to herself, that is, she said: "Mom, hurry up, the bus is about to pass." ”
When my mother heard this, she turned to the side again, looked at the clock, and it was nearly half past eight, and she walked to the door and said, "Oh, well, Mommy is gone."
