Whistling Chapter 35: Yali's Story
Chapter 35:
One person who has had a great influence on me, except for Su Wei, is Yali.
She never blamed me for stealing money, and she even defended me, it's just that children are ignorant, just teach it slowly.
When I put all the blame on Jin'er, she didn't doubt my thoughts at all, and she was very sure that this was what Jin'er taught me.
Every time Su Wei called me, the tone on the other end of the phone was very fierce, not only asking me to die, but also asking me not to worry about her anymore, saying that I was not worthy of being her daughter. I got used to hearing this, and I slowly went from crying and fainting on the phone to calmly listening to her say these words.
I was scared to see her.
The day that should come will still come early.
As soon as she saw me, she pulled a hanger out of Yali's room and slapped me in the back.
"You didn't fight enough last time, did you?"
"Is it itchy?" Su Wei whipped me through gritted teeth.
"Enough, enough, the child can't stand it." The first person to defend me was Yali.
At this time, Su Wei was a little restrained.
I squatted on the ground, the marks on my back seemed to be burned with fire, my whole mind was dizzy, my airways were blocked by snot, I couldn't breathe, and I was sobbing up and down.
"It's just that I don't know where I learned it, and I stole 500 yuan." Su Wei looked at me fiercely.
"Forget it, stop fighting, there won't be a next time for the kid." Fang Yi persuaded.
I saw Su Wei's trembling hand take out five hundred yuan from her pocket and give it to Su Sheng.
"This is the 500 yuan that my mother got by saving money, why don't you be sensible and spend all your mother's monthly salary, who are you studying?" Su Wei squatted on the ground and looked at me, her slightly sad eyes seemed to think that I was hopeless.
It's only been three times, but I've been stealing money more than three times.
"She said that Gu Jin'er taught her." Yali whispered in her ear.
"I'll just say why someone would teach you this, usually even if you play again, you won't do this, over and over again."
"I said she was a useless thing." Yali said.
"You have to stay here for me, if you don't obey again, I'll break your legs." Su Wei pointed at me and yelled.
"I'm going back! I'm going back to Banjinghuayuan! "I pounded the floor with my hands and my feet to the ground.
Yali raised her head to look out the window, her hands secretly wiping away tears.
"If it's so good to you, you'll still be thinking about that hellish place." Yali couldn't help crying, she spread her hands emotionally and counted with me what she had done for me, comparing the Gu family to the harm they had done to you.
"Do you want to go back despite that?" She questioned me with such a heart, which made me feel very guilty, but I had to hide the facts, and I couldn't tell them that I had come back to Banjinghua to find out the truth.
"I want it!" I hid outside the door and stole a sneaky look at Yali.
My words really stabbed her, she who has always had high blood sugar covered her heart, and the unconcealable sadness was about to come out, she lay on the table, pushed down the glass on the table, and instantly a popping sound shocked downstairs.
Many people watched from downstairs and discussed there.
"Since you say the same, then let's go, and you won't come back when you're gone." Yali looked at me with a sob, one hand pointing out the door.
I immediately ran down the stairs, and I rushed outside, ignoring anyone's resistance.
The person who is the best to me is Yali, but the person I can't live the most is also Yali.
She felt sorry for me all the time, for my every move, for what I was wearing, and for my tears.
She was the first to see me born and take me into the world. Since it was evening, most of the doctors were off work, and only one or two doctors were on duty, and Yali was treated as the doctor's assistant, holding the bloody me from Su Wei's body. She was the one who had seen all of me, from the moment she was born a simple and kind baby who didn't know anything, and after this incident, she felt that I had changed, and that I was no longer thinking about her little granddaughter.
In the past, she wanted others to have, and I had both.
She gave me good food and clothing, and did not dislike my shyness, my introversion and my quietness. She gave me a lot of warmth that I couldn't get in the Gu family, but in fact, it was precisely the shackles of this kind of love that made me feel bad.
Yali doesn't like to socialize, she never takes the initiative to ask others out for dinner or engage in small talk in life, except for her neighbors. She even felt that it was very embarrassing to eat face-to-face with the living, but it was precisely Shengshi who liked to go outside the most, and every time he came home, he would carry a lot of fruit in his hands, or help others repair such and such things, tobacco and alcohol.
Yali likes to farm the most, and when the fields were not leveled, she planted a lot of vegetables, and I loved to follow her when I was a child. Later, there were few fields, and my grandmother planted okra in all the fields, and I loved it very much, so she planted a piece of okra for me. She once said that this thing was very slippery and unaccustomed to eating, but then she ate too much with me and got used to it.
I still remember one time, Shengshi rode a bicycle, he has never liked to play with children, this time he actually wanted to take me out to meet his best friend. When Shengshi rode a long distance, I saw from his back that his back was soaked with sweat, and he was already full of gray hair when he was over sixty years old, but from that moment, I recalled that Shengshi picked me up at the school on a hot day, and these two scenes were deeply imprinted in my mind.
When we came to an old uncle's house, Sheng Shi took out a cigarette from his pocket after greeting him, and the two of us smoked together. In those days, it was as if men had to learn to smoke, which was a high-level social activity that represented the status of men. I also used to learn Shengshi to smoke, just like the tobacco he smoked, I would pick it up and suck it hard again, but I didn't expect the taste to be very good, bitter with a strong tobacco smell, flowing through the throat from the nose, I couldn't help but exhale, such a difficult thing to smoke, why would someone love it so much.
The old uncle saw that it was almost dinner time, so he ordered us to stay, and Shengshi did not avoid it, so he hurriedly agreed. In the process of eating, I also ate a chicken and a bottle of liquor from the old uncle. He didn't get drunk and drove me home on his bike at night.
"You know what? It is at this time that others will politely leave you down for dinner, so that you will have another drink to drink. Shengshi looked at me with a mouthful of wine.
So Yali hates socializing, and for this reason, she doesn't want Shengshi to meet some miscellaneous people outside, and she doesn't see dissuasion with the smell of alcohol. She also hates that people come to visit, and preferably that no one ever comes to visit her, she is so cold.
Many times, the fiery heart in her heart is only displayed in front of me.
Every time I left the house, she would often poke her head out of the window and look at my back.
I'm very thin, but I'm not unfazed.
When she saw my arm, her eyes were often red with distress, and she said that she wanted to eat and told me to buy it, eat better, and she wouldn't lose weight. When I used to live in Banjinghuayuan, we would often come to visit Yali, and Yali would stuff money on me every time, for fear that I would not be able to eat well. I still remember that after I took Tengzhi's money before, I lied to her and said that this was the money I had saved, and I bought something for her, and she wanted to stuff the money back to me, saying that this was a return gift and it was necessary. In fact, where there is any etiquette, it is her distress, which makes me very, very distressed.
When Su Wei came back from the Flower Dance Workshop, her salary was not very high, so she gave her two hundred yuan, she said that she would not ask for anything, Su Wei closed the door and stuffed it through the crack in the door, she threw it down from the windowsill, and then I sent the money back, I ran back and forth several times before persuading her to accept the two hundred yuan, and she even only wanted to take one hundred as a concern.
In fact, I also gave gifts to Yali, not stolen money, but during the Chinese New Year, I secretly exchanged for a fraction of the red envelope.
That year, I bought shoes for my grandparents, and my grandfather said that I was reluctant to wear such beautiful shoes, and my grandmother tried to knock her feet a little, and I said that I would take them back and change them, and she was afraid of making me trouble, so she had to say that it was okay, and it might be loose if I wore it a few more times. She smiled shyly at me that day and said thank you, and her eyes were red as she looked at me.
I remember one time, Su Wei took me to my grandmother's house, she had just come home from grocery shopping, and when she got home, she found that she had forgotten to take the squid she bought
When she returned, she hurriedly put down the vegetables, got on her bicycle and rushed to the market. She remembers my favorite food being squid. While we were all chatting happily, the aunt next door called us downstairs and said that my grandmother had been in a car accident. The reason is that the driver opened the door without looking in the rearview mirror, and directly opened the door and knocked her down. When she came back, her clothes were covered in blood, and the nurse didn't even bandage it, saying that it was a small wound, and the wound opened again at noon, and finally went to the hospital for stitches. She doesn't remember it for years, but I do.
The thing that struck me as very strange was the Magnolia incident.
One morning, Ah Mao Chang sent us to my grandmother's house and left, and along the way, Su Wei was attracted by the fragrance of white magnolia flowers, which she loved the most. She took my hand all the way to smell the flowers, and even stood on tiptoe to pick them, she wasn't tall enough, and finally I watched her climb the railing and lean forward. At that time, her hand happened to be on the sharp fork, and I didn't pay attention to it, I had an inexplicable imagination at that time, whether Su Wei would be pierced through the arm by the sharp fork, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came back to my senses, Su Wei suddenly came down and stood on the ground, her hand was pierced by the sharp fork, she held back her tears, and her hand pressed the wound hard, but the blood flowed, and she couldn't stop it. When she got home, she remembered the folk recipe and chopped a few mud fish and applied them to the wound to stop the bleeding.
I felt guilty when I saw the wound on Su Wei's arm, if I had spoken out earlier, would she be fine, her wound even revealed snow-white bones.
Later, Yali saw that the blood was still flowing, and rode a bicycle to take Su Wei to the hospital for stitches. Yali also deliberately found a fortune teller, and the fortune teller said that it was because the deceased aunt came back to see her grandfather, and who knew that you blocked her path, and she would blame you.
This thing is also evil, and it sounds scary.
