Love Chapter 43: Sixty Birthdays
Aunt Ying's name is Lan Zhiying.
Zhiying is not a local, she speaks fluent Mandarin, and when we talk to her, the local dialect I switch from time to time is mixed with half-cooked Mandarin, which sounds very awkward, and I keep saying the wrong thing, especially when I hear the conversation between Su Wei and Zhiying, I can't help but laugh.
She doesn't look like a bad woman.
Judging from her appearance alone, she is a typical out-of-towner.
Ziyang people still have reservations about outsiders, and even think that outsiders are here to occupy our land, although the city of Ziyang can accommodate not many people, but no matter how educated people are, they are reluctant to leave the field.
Zhiying's dark hair is very fluffy, with natural curls, and she is more casual when she ties her hair, she just ties two handfuls directly on her hands and then ties a hair ring, so as long as the movement is a little big, her bangs will slip off the top of her head, and I see that she always wears a red floral headband on the top of her head.
It's red again, and I remember Jinyu's favorite is red.
Zhiying's figure belongs to the kind of obese woman. Not only does it look heavyweight, but it also makes people feel that this woman is difficult to tame, when we meet her, she is wearing a bright pink thin top, and her slightly round and jade face will bulge with flesh on both cheeks, like a ripe red apple. The most charming thing is that I can't help but sigh that Zhiying, who is close to fifty years old, does not have a crow's feet in the corner of her eyes, and her eyes are curved upwards like the moon.
Perhaps, I understand why Zhilu chose Zhiying.
Her amiable smile made me unable to resist and refuse her, so I acquiesced to her, but the word grandma is still like a dumb person eating coptis in my mouth, I can't say it, I can't put the word grandma on her body, which reminds me of Jinyu who died in a pool of blood all the time.
Jinyu is a lingering nightmare for me.
Qiu Feng ordered the master to nail Jinyu's posthumous photo to the wall, and a glass table was nailed under the posthumous photograph to place the incense burner and fruit offerings.
I often feel that Jinyu's posthumous photo is smiling at me, in the photo she is wearing a black formal top, the first time I have seen her smile so quietly, every time I see her in this photo, I always feel cold behind my back.
Tomorrow is the 60th birthday of the law, and everyone wants to use this happy event to wash down the frustration.
Qiu Feng and Xinwen had already prepared their birthday things.
There are all kinds of food on the table, but most of them are not the Chinese food we usually eat, and many of the food is purchased from Xisheng Street. The cream cake on the table caught my attention, a tall peach was placed on the top of the cake, the tail of the peach was still glowing with pink peach tips, and the peach was decorated with a few roses squeezed out of cream, which looked delicious.
"What is this?" I picked up a red fruit that looked like a vertebra.
"This is a strawberry, and its tail is the most delicious, you can try it." Jin'er shoved the strawberries into my mouth.
"You can't eat the green seedlings on the strawberries."
I took a bite of the strawberry's tail, and instantly a sour splash burst out of my head, but after chewing and swallowing slowly, there was a burst of sweetness, and the black stuff was stained between my broken teeth. I tried to push the strawberry seeds out with my tongue, and with my tongue I spun them in a circle, and I actually drilled the strawberry seeds deeper and deeper, and the first time I ate this fruit, it was so painful.
"I'm back." The first person who entered the door was Ryutsu, followed by Zhiying and Ah Maochang.
I was still a little overwhelmed by Zhiying's appearance, although I knew that this person existed, but I still set my eyes on Qiu Feng and them.
I spit out the green seedlings on the top of the strawberry and fixed my eyes on Zhiying.
Zhiying saw me in the afternoon and smiled at me while looking at Su Wei.
"Why is she smiling at you, who is this?" Jin'er plucked the green seedlings of the strawberries and stuffed them into her mouth.
I stuffed the whole strawberry into my mouth and said, "Maybe it just happened to be smiling at me." ”
"Who is this?" Qiu Feng looked at the law with stern eyes and questioned him.
"Come here." Ryu took Zhiying's hand, looked at Zhiying with a sparkling look in his eyes, and bowed his head a little embarrassed.
"I still don't want it." Zhiying pushed away the hand of the law and kept backing away.
Seeing that Ritsu seemed to be a little impatient, he pulled Zhiying to his side with all his might.
"This is Jin'er and Xining's grandmother, that is, your mother." When Ji Lu said this, he was full of confidence and gave Zhiying a lot of confidence.
"What?" Qiu Feng sneered a few times and asked rhetorically.
Xinwen sat up from the stool and slowly approached to look at Zhiying.
"This is a big fat woman." Xinwen looked at Zhiying mercilessly, observing from head to toe.
Zhiying didn't dare to speak, just silently lowered her head and hid behind the law.
"We won't admit that she is our mother, we have only one mother, the one who hangs on the wall." Qiu Feng pointed to the posthumous photo on the wall fiercely, and said calmly to the law.
"I don't care what you think, anyway, I think I'm old, and I need someone to take care of me." Ritsu turned her head to look at Zhiying, trying to smile.
Zhiying tugged at the sleeve of the law, her eyes flashed, and she motioned for the law to give in.
"Don't worry." Ryu whispered to Zhiying and patted Zhiying's hand.
"You take your woman out of here, you walk out of this house today, we don't have you as a father." Qiu Feng didn't become more and more determined, making people not afraid.
"Ignore them, come, let's come and eat cake." Zhilu pretended not to hear Qiu Feng's words, and grabbed Zhiying's hand in the palm of his hand and walked forward, Zhiying paced forward, not daring to raise his head to look at us.
Seeing that the law was slowly coming towards us, Zhiying also came over.
Jin'er looked at Zhiying with a shocked and disgusted expression, moved the cake plate in her hand to the law and turned to leave, walking in the direction of Qiu Feng.
"Why are you still stunned? Walk. Jin'er turned her head again and took my hand.
"I'm not leaving." I shook my head and sat motionless.
Jin'er sighed at me and rolled her eyes at me.
"Xining, eat, look how beautiful the cake is." Ritsu sat down in front of me with Zhiying.
I shook my head vigorously and waved my hands to signal no.
Su Wei stood behind me, her eyes motioning for me not to eat.
I saw that Julu took a pack of candles from the side of the cake, picked out a red candle from it, and inserted it in the center of Shou Tao, and then looked at Zhiying and smiled.
"Sing me a birthday song." Ritsu's eyes are full of Zhiying.
Ji-young looked at us, singing a birthday song in a trembling voice, and she sang in such a low voice that I couldn't even hear me sitting so close across from her, only that her mouth was squirming.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you." Zhiying breathed a sigh of relief after singing.
Ritsu closed his eyes and made a wish, and after Ji-young finished singing the birthday song, Ritsu suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled vigorously, and blew out the candle.
"Now let's eat the cake." Ryu took a knife from the side and took out two more plates and placed them in front of him.
I saw that the law maker took up and fell, cut half of the cake from the middle of Shou Tao, and then divided the cake into small pieces and put it on Zhiying's plate.
"Come on, eat, today is my birthday, be happy, why do you look sad." Ryu rubbed Zhiying's face with one hand.
With that, he cut off a small piece of cake and put it on the plate in front of him.
Suddenly, Qiu Feng ran to Zhiying like an unstoppable wild horse, ran to Zhiying with a hurried pace, grabbed the neckline behind her and pulled it hard, Zhiying was instantly strangled by the neckline, spit out the cake in her mouth, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Why are you sitting here, eating the cake I bought, and why are you so embarrassed to sit here in front of my mother, and take her place as if nothing happened?" Qiu Feng seemed to be crying, her trembling voice became more and more obvious, but her very firm tone still made people not see that she was delicate at all.
"What are you doing, let her go!" The law pushed Qiu Feng away, Qiu Feng didn't pay attention, so he took a few steps back, fortunately he was supported by Xinwen, otherwise he might have miscarried.
"That's how you pushed me away." Qiu Feng looked at the law, and did not have the slightest respect for his father, but kept questioning him.
"Did you get involved with this woman when your mother was hospitalized?"
"Mother just died, are you worthy of her?" Qiu Feng roared, and in her anger, the green tendons on her neck protruded, as if she had exhausted all her strength to ask questions.
"Sister, don't get excited, be careful of the fetus." Xinwen frowned, wrapping her hands around Qiu Feng, and she pressed her face against Qiu Feng's cheek from time to time.
Then, Xinwen helped Qiu Feng to sit on the chair, walked quickly to Zhiying, and a heavy slap fell on Zhiying's face, the slap fell with the hand, and the hair of Zhiying's bangs also skimmed to the side with the direction of the slap.
"I'll let you eat, I'll let you eat." Xinwen desperately grabbed the cake with her hands, and before she could react, she smeared cream on Zhiying's face.
I saw Zhiying sitting on the ground without resistance, her hands kept struggling, and she tried to push Xinwen's hand away.
"Enough of you!" The law roared angrily and slapped Xinwen.
We were all frightened and looked at Xinwen motionlessly.
Everything seemed to be paused, and even the sound of a pin falling could be heard.
Zhiying helped Zhiying up, wiped off the cream on Zhiying's face with her sleeve, and after wiping it off, she found that Zhiying's face was red and swollen, like a big green plum in her mouth, her crying red eyes were clearly visible, but she didn't dare to cry, she could only sobbed secretly.
"I've long been tired of the role of a father." Zhiyu helped Zhiying and staggered out of the door.
"Ah Mao, send us away."
"Yes, sir." Ah Mao relieved himself and immediately nodded in reply.
"Do you know who this woman is?" Qiu Feng wanted to spill his anger on Su Wei, and walked towards Su Wei angrily.
"What if you know?" Su Wei stared at Qiu Feng fiercely.
"Sure enough, you just know." Xinwen sneered.
"None of this is a good thing." Qiu Feng put down his words and ran to the second floor, and Xinwen and Jin'er followed.
"You lied to me." Jin'er looked at me with a meaningful look in her eyes.
I'm getting disappointed in myself.
