Modern Chapter 026 - Acacia Candy (26)
The man disguised Xu Chunmei's death as suicide.
The neighbors are all old neighbors, and they all know how hysterical Xu Chunmei has become for this family over the years. Her mother-in-law passed away suddenly, and it was reasonable for her to choose to break herself down under the collapse of self-blame. No one doubted Xu Chunmei's death, and no one questioned the sudden surname of the whole thing, and the funeral was over.
Two people died at a time in the family, and there were no powerful relatives and friends around, only the father and son were busy dealing with everything with the help of the neighbors, and when the follow-up things were all done, the father and son both lost a lot of weight.
My son is in high school, and after experiencing a series of changes in his family, he is under tremendous mental and physical pressure, and he is lying in bed, his eyes closed, and his mother's face is repeated in his mind.
My father made a rare dinner, opened the door, and told him to eat. He opened his eyes, looked at his father, and felt that the face was a little strange and a little annoying.
"You hate me, don't you?" The father's voice was hoarse: "I know you hate me, you think I killed your mother, and you may even think that I am not worthy of being your father." ”
"No, I just regret being your son."
The son walked past his father with an expressionless face, and on the dining table, there was a simple meal, a dish, and a soup. The son looked at the soup, and tears flowed uncontrollably. He remembered that every time he came home, his mother would make him soup in different ways, sometimes it was mushroom and lean meat soup, sometimes it was kelp vermicelli soup, and sea rice egg drop soup. Every time, his mother would watch him eat, and even persuade him to eat more, he only felt annoyed at the time, he only felt that his mother was verbose, but now, he especially wanted his mother to stand at the table, and even hoped that his mother yelled at him in an extremely impatient tone: "You have to eat it all!" ”
He lay on the table, whimpered and cried for a while, and then choked up the dishes and choked up with tears in his eyes. The tastelessness of food is probably what he is in now.
"Dad, I'm sorry for you!"
The man sat down on the other side of the table, looking at the photo on the wall, a family portrait of the child when it was just born.
"I'm sorry for your mom too. I remember the first time I saw her, in a small park. At that time, the park was not as beautiful as it is now, it was just something very simple. She is also dressed very plainly, with two big braids just like the rural girls at that time, but her skin is very white and her eyes are very large, and when you look at you, you will feel that there is a deer jumping in your heart. At that time, I really liked your mother. ”
"Then you didn't like it later?"
"It's not that I don't like it, it's that I don't know if I like it or not. People, it's all very strange, and as the days go by, a lot of things will blur out. In the last few days, I've been reminiscing about the days I spent with your mom. I remember when I first got married, I always got up early every day and went to the front street to buy her her favorite food. At night, I always have to talk to her a lot to be able to sleep. I thought that I would love her so much for the rest of my life, and we would live a simple and happy life just like those people in the movie.
Later, your mother got pregnant and had you. At first, I felt very sorry for her because she couldn't eat and kept throwing up. I was worried that I would not be able to take care of a big man, so I took your grandmother over. Originally, I thought that this one is the one I love the most, and the other is the person who loves me the most, and after we are together, we will become happier. As a result, every day is a war, and your grandmother says that your mother is not good, that I am always used to her. Your mother complained to me again, saying that your grandmother was not good to her. I'm caught in the middle, and that's hard to take. I don't know how to deal with this complicated relationship, and it doesn't seem right to protect either one. So, I escaped.
At first, I just watched people play cards, and then I played them myself. The more I fought, the more chaotic the relationship in this family became, and the more I wanted to escape. Gradually, everyone is used to this state, and we are also used to this kind of life, we no longer reflect on love and non-love, and no longer look forward to happiness, as if everyone is just staying up, staying up for a day, counting a day.
Okay now, your grandmother is gone, your mother is gone, and we are left to continue to survive. ”
"You shouldn't have taken my grandma over."
"I also know, but there is no regret medicine in this world, and I don't know if it is not that if you don't take your grandmother, it won't become what it was later. There is no turning back. Dad just hopes that in the future you will be able to think clearly, you will know what you are going to do. ”
"I'm not going to get married, I'm not going to have children, I'm not going to let myself be a scourge to my family." The son swallowed a mouthful of food.
"You kid, how can you think that? If you don't get married, the incense of our family will be broken, what face do you let me take to meet your grandparents, to meet our ancestors and ancestors. ”
"You've lost your face for a long time."
"You kid!" The man's slap was raised, but it fell in his son's resentful gaze: "Yes, what you said is right, Dad's face is long gone." Eat, hurry up and eat. ”
The quartz bell on the wall rang, and the closed door was also "clanging", and the son looked up at the bell and suddenly asked, "What time is it today?" ”
"What's the number?"
"How many days have Mom and Grandma been dead?"
"How many days?" The man grabbed his hair: "Let me think about it, let me think about it." ”
The son moved his gaze to the calendar and said, "Don't think about it, it's seven days, and today is the seventh day." ”
"Day seven?" The man panicked, because he thought of that: "Don't eat, don't eat, your grandmother and your mother will come back tonight, let's go out quickly, avoid it quickly." ”
"It's late, grandma, she's back." The son grabbed his father's arm, and his eyes widened.
At the door, the old lady stared at them with indifference, with a pair of white-eyed eyes.
"Mom, Mom, I'm your son, I'm your son, don't hurt me, don't hurt me." The man cried timidly.
Suddenly, the lights in the room go out, and the whole room is plunged into darkness. The man quickly reached out and grabbed his son's arm, he didn't dare to say anything, he only dared to pinch his son with his nails, hoping that his son would give him a little reaction. But the son seemed to be frozen, motionless, and even when he pinched him hard, he didn't make the slightest sound. This kind of atmosphere made the man feel terrifying, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
"Eat, son eat."
The old lady's voice suddenly sounded, the man only felt a burst of excitement, and then stood up uncontrollably, he walked to the table, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and began to send them into his mouth one by one. In the dark, the old lady stared at her son with a smile, his mouth was moving, but his throat was not moving, and after a while, his mouth was full of rice, but he continued to stuff it into his mouth.
"Slow down, slow down, don't choke."
"Son, when you grow up in the future, will you also feed your mother?"
"Son, you have grown up, but you have forgotten what you said to your mother when you were a child. You dislike your mother for being old and dirty, so you don't even want to feed your mother. Yes, my mother resents your daughter-in-law, but my mother resents you even more. You are born to your mother and raised by your mother, even you are unwilling to serve your mother, how can someone else's daughter be willing. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, even if you don't want to feed your mother, your mother is willing to feed you."
The man's eyes are getting wider and wider, and although his hands and feet do not obey the command, his brain is normal, and his ears are normal. He was afraid, he was afraid, but there was no way for him to escape death. His throat began to cough violently, the muscles in his face twitched, his face gradually turned white, and his eyes gradually straightened. Eventually, he sat motionless in his chair.
"Good, go with my mother, go to another place with my mother, and when we get there, our mother and son can live a good life."
The man's soul left his body, and he walked up to his mother and stretched out his hand.
The room lit up again, and the son looked at his father, who was no longer breathless, and smiled.
The community found out that the man of the house had also gone when he was sending care, and when he found out, the man and his son were still sitting at the table, the difference was that the man had rice stuffed in his mouth, and the man was already dead, and even had a rancid smell. The son, sitting dumbfounded, just looked at his father, laughing all the time, laughing all the time.
No one knows exactly what happened that night, only that the kid was stupid and he was sent to a special institution. Before getting into the car, he pointed to a place in the yard and smirked and shouted, "Mom! ”
On the night of returning to the soul, Xu Chunmei did not return to that home, for her, there was nothing to be nostalgic for in that home.
She thought about her son, but after thinking about it, she thought it was better not to go back to see him. When people die, they are gone, and those who are alive will continue to live, and all she can do is completely disappear from their lives, their world.
Xing Ruyi put on a very beautiful makeup for her, which was what she remembered when she was young. She walked out of the rouge shop and followed the light, and as she walked until she came to a very open place. She didn't know where it was, she just felt that it was so comfortable, so comfortable that she wanted to lie down and sleep for a while. She lay down and slept, but in her sleep she returned to the little park.
She stood under the willow tree and watched the man slowly approach her, and after thinking about it, she turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
How good it would be if life started like this.
