42: Let me see you
Seeing the night devouring the aura of the day bit by bit, if there was a little way now, Zhao Xun would not be as helpless as he is now.
In fact, what she didn't know was that more desperate and embarrassing things were waiting for her.
Zhao Xun turned his back to the dark wall of his stepmother's house and listened to their conversation at home, but he didn't have that mind at that time, he just cared about smelling the smell of food in other people's homes.
She could feel hunger, fear like invisible needles, stinging every inch of her skin again and again.
All this in front of him had to remind Zhao of the little match girl that the Chinese teacher told them in the second grade.
Looking at the surrounding fires, the whole world is immersed in this atmosphere of laughter and laughter, and she is the only one who is watching the happiness of others and guarding the little impossibility in her heart.
But how much she hoped now, the hope she hoped for was no longer hope.
She was wondering if she would starve to death, and the hunger forced her to think about the worst.
At this time, the door suddenly squeaked open, which frightened Zhao Xun and shuddered.
When I looked closely, it turned out that my stepmother came out, and Zhao Xun thought that her stepmother had asked her to come into the house.
I thought to myself, now that it's okay, will I be able to eat the food cooked by that kind grandmother? Even if it's just a steamed bun.
"Mom! Mother! Mother!! Zhao Xun screamed desperately in the darkness and struggled.
But who would have imagined that the stepmother could say such cruel words at that time.
Although it has always been said that the stepmother has not been very good to Zhao Xun, but in comparison, the stepmother of other children is okay.
In terms of food and clothing, he has never said that he has stumbled Zhao Xun, and his life is okay.
"I've said it all, don't call me mom, and go back, we're going to lock the door, you can leave early while you can still see it now."
"Mom, don't drive me away, okay? My dad had already gone back on his motorcycle, and now it's dark outside, and I can't go home by myself. ”
"I don't care what method you use to go home, that's your business, and besides, I have no relationship with you for no reason! Anyway, you should go back now, and you go back and tell your unproductive father, I can't live with him, divorce! ”
"By the way, if you think you don't understand, just tell him that I will go back to get the clothes in two days, and then go through the divorce procedures with him, you just let him wait at home, don't come to me again!"
"What? You're going to divorce my dad? ”
Zhao Xun's eyes widened now, and she slowly walked over from the dark night.
Maybe the word divorce is a bit unfamiliar to other children of the same age, and they won't even understand what the real meaning of this word is.
But Zhao Xun is different, she can be said to deeply understand the meaning of this word, because she has lived in such a divorced family since she was a child.
From the moment she learned to eat, to speak, and to walk, she was doomed to be without a mother.
She has always known how miserable her childhood would be as a child in a single-parent family.
But perhaps it was all this tragic pain that watered this beautiful flower later, and also created Zhao Xun's resolute character later, which was inseparable from her childhood experiences.
"Child, parents think you should think about it again, let the child live in our house today, Xiao Zhao went back, where did you let her go with a child? Besides, it's going to rain outside, and it's getting dark, even if you want to get a divorce, it's not this night. ”
The kind grandmother suddenly came out and said.
Zhao Xun thought that if it wasn't for this grandmother's persistence and teaching at that time, maybe the stepmother would really not come back, and maybe there would be no younger brother now.
She didn't dare to imagine what her life would have been like if she hadn't had her brother, and whether she could persist to this day is a question.
"I can't care so much, besides, why did I get married in the first place, you and my dad have a good idea, but now I'm really unhappy, his dad doesn't talk about his second marriage, and he drinks every day, and beats people when he drinks, yes, you don't feel sorry for your daughter, but the flesh grows on me, I feel sorry for it!"
The stepmother may be really scared this time, and she is really disappointed in her father.
Including the petty fights between his stepmother and his father before, Zhao Xun has never seen such hysteria as his stepmother.
"Child, how can there be parents in this world who don't love their daughter, now parents are also thinking about you, think about it carefully, if you let the big guy know that you are divorced, who would want to marry you again in the future? Then what will you do in the future! ”
The kind grandmother almost finished this sentence with a crying voice.
"Don't say it, after all, it's not for that little self-esteem in your heart! You're afraid I'll embarrass you! ”
"How can you say such a thing? I'm your own mother! There are ...... in this world."
"Enough, it's all like this now, you let her go quickly, I can't be at peace for a moment when she's here, and I'm tired, I have to sleep now."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, the children have grown up, so let them decide for themselves."
The silent uncle suddenly stood up and said a word, holding a cigarette in his mouth and a cigarette in his ear, and went out.
Maybe when you haven't really encountered something, you really don't know how great a person's endurance will be.
It can allow you to survive the Jedi and even respawn after the catastrophe.
Every time he was beaten and scolded by his father before this, Zhao Xun really thought that he might be the child he picked up from.
Think about it, maybe this is really how you live your life, and you will always play the role of an ugly duckling who is scolded under the fence.
Without a mother, I finally got a father, but I didn't expect the result to be like this, she really didn't know how she should live her life in the future.
Even Zhao Xunyou thought about choosing to use paranoia to solve the problem, or even commit suicide, just like most people.
But when you really come to this point, you lose the courage to face life and death, and you will even run away from it.
Maybe only in that moment, you will feel that it is good to be alive, not for anything else, just to live for the sake of living.
Yes, life is precious, but how can we, as children, trample on our parents?
At this time, Zhao Xun didn't have so much comprehension at all, of course, these words were actually mentioned in Zhao Xun's diary later.
Zhao Xun said that if she hadn't written those experiences into her diary at the beginning, she thought she would definitely not have so many detailed memories later.
After all, human beings are a species, and the memory chip of her memory brain has some kind of special function, and it will only leave those beautiful and valuable experiences in your mind.
On the contrary, these things that disappoint you and make you sad, it will automatically weed out for you.
So, it's like people say that the scar is good and forgets the pain!
Zhao Xun also said that she is actually quite grateful for these experiences, and it is precisely because of these experiences that her life will not seem so empty.
At least now Zhao Xun said these words with a smile.
"Gu Chen? What are you in a daze? I've been raising wine glasses for a long time, and this time I'm going to punish you, so I'll punish you for drinking three glasses in a row! ”
Zhao Xun told her childhood, her story, so long that Gu Chen forgot time and space.
He seemed to feel that he was in the era that Zhao Xun was talking about, and he seemed to be the one who had been watching Zhao Xun go through these experiences, but it didn't seem to be.
But all this is so real, and so within reach, he feels sorry for her.
If he was next to Zhao Xun at the time, it would definitely not be the end now, he would definitely take her away, anywhere.
He thought he must go over and hug her, and then say, don't be afraid, I'm here.
"Okay, this first cup, I will respect your childhood, the second cup, I want to respect your youth, the third cup I want to respect you, you don't have to dodge, live for the life you like!"
"May you have a dream as a horse, you can live anywhere, I did it, you are free!"
"Okay, I'll do it too!"
"By the way, what about later? And then? How did you spend that night? Did your stepmother go home with you? What happened next? ”
"What, don't worry, I didn't think I'd show myself naked in front of you so soon, leave some suspense and talk about it later, okay?"
"No, no, no, I really want to know what happened later, just tell me quickly, okay, Xiao Zhao? Really, you're the best! ”
Seeing Gu Chen's face full of curiosity, Zhao Xun pursed his lips and had no choice but to continue.
Whether it is sweet or bitter, perhaps only she knows best in her own heart.
The wind outside the window blew, and the fluttering wind chimes flashed on the beer bottles on the table, Gu Chen glanced at Zhao and said:
"You're drunk, can you go on?"
