Chapter 53: The Lonely Year
Liu Jiazhi was stabbed, Mr. Liu also asked me through Ji Zhuo's mouth, what I didn't do must not be on my head, so naturally I had a mustard with Mr. Liu.
With the growth of years, this year is boring, there is no fun that should have been in childhood, no one moves chopsticks on the table of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the kang, my mother and I stared at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the table in a daze, my mother in order not to make me uncomfortable, tears kept rolling, and did not fall, the Spring Festival Gala on TV was broadcast on time, but lost laughter, at this time of the previous year, my father would gather three or five friends, rubbing mahjong in the house, nagging this idleness, this year's year is deserted.
When I tilted my head to look at my mother, I saw my mother secretly wiping her tears, the comforting words in my heart, I couldn't open my mouth when it came to my mouth, tears began to drip on the dinner table, splashing tears, other people's reunion dinners, happy nights, in my home when it was deserted, only laughter on TV.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, people visited me from time to time to comfort my mother and me, but how could I empathize with the comfort of these words, it was not on anyone, and who did not know the difficulty.
"Zhenhua, Zijie is here to find you!" Mother walked into the house and brought Mu Zijie in.
"Zijie!" I'm red. Guan Gong, who was naked on his chest, was a little dazzling, and his mother glanced at it and let out a slight sigh and walked out of the house.
"It's a little deserted!" After Mu Zijie entered the house, he sat on the edge of the kang and said softly.
"Hehe......" I smiled wryly.
"No, take it to the city for your aunt, you also have a care!" Mu Zijie was silent for a moment before speaking.
"You don't know what we're doing, I don't want my mother to worry about me, besides, my mother doesn't even know anyone in the city, it's better to be here, they are all old neighbors, and there is someone to talk to!" I shook my head lightly and directly rejected Mu Zijie's proposal.
"Huh!" Mu Zijie let out a sigh when he heard this, and stopped talking.
Mu Zijie and I did this quietly for half an hour, the two of us just smoked and didn't say a word, just like the first time I met Mu Zijie in the city, simple companionship.
"This year, you and Mengting will settle the matter, there is a child around you, and Auntie is not lonely!" Mu Zijie's words made my mind come alive.
"I'm going to talk to Mengting!" I extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray and nodded.
"Zijie, eat here at noon, I'll make dumplings for you!" The mother pushed the door open and entered, opening her mouth to stay.
"Okay! Auntie, more meat, I want to eat a big stuffing! Mu Zijie grinned and bared his teeth and said.
"Okay!" Mother smiled and nodded, and spoke.
"Didi ......"
The phone sounded, I picked it up and glanced at it, and the coolness instantly went from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
"What's wrong?!" Mu Zijie saw that my expression was wrong, and frowned and asked.
"Since I came back, I haven't contacted Tingting!" I replied with a bitter face.
"Di Lingling...... Di Lingling ......"
As I was typing, the video window came to me.
"Jiang Zhenhua, don't you want to live anymore!?" As soon as the video was picked up, Wang Mengting gritted her silver teeth and scolded.
"Isn't it like coming back!" I replied with a flattering smile and bared my teeth.
"What's the matter with you when you're home?!" Wang Mengting looked incredulous, and asked with squinted eyes.
"Zijie, come on!" My lips squirmed for a long time, and I wanted to give it all out, but I didn't know how to say it, so I handed the phone to Mu Zijie.
"......" Mu Zijie reluctantly took the phone and briefly told me about the things at home.
"......" After Wang Mengting heard this, she was silent on the other end of the phone, and her eyes were red.
"Zijie, send me the address!" Wang Mengting bit her red lip and said softly.
"Okay!" Mu Zijie sent the address to Wang Mengting.
At half-past eleven, the sound of the engine outside the door caused the neighbors to run out of the house.
"Girl, who are you looking for?!" The mother looked at Wang Mengting, who entered the courtyard, and went out to ask.
"Auntie, I'm looking for Zhenhua!" Wang Mengting had a smile on her face, her eyes curved into a crescent moon, and she replied.
"Zhenhua, there is a girl who said to look for you!" Mother's face-stained hands ran into the house and said hurriedly.
I put on my shoes and went to the ground, looked at Wang Mengting and tilted my head and smiled.
"......" Wang Mengting gritted her silver teeth and glared at me fiercely, quite reproachful.
"Mom, this is my girlfriend, Wang Mengting!" I pulled Wang Mengting to my mother's side and introduced her.
"Hello, Auntie!" Wang Mengting's face flushed and said hello.
"Quick, quick, get inside!" When the mother heard this, a long-lost smile appeared on her face and hurriedly greeted.
"Auntie, I'll help you!" After Wang Mengting washed her hands, she had to help her mother make dumplings.
"You sit, I'll do it myself!" The mother replied a little confused.
"It's okay!" Wang Mengting rolled up her sleeves and started to move.
Mu Zijie and I looked at Wang Mengting and her mother talking and laughing, and smiled at each other.
After a meal, Wang Mengting and Mu Zijie were going back to the city.
"Mengting, take it!" At some point, the mother secretly wrapped a red envelope and stuffed it into Wang Mengting's hand.
"Auntie, I can't ask for it!" Wang Mengting hurriedly waved her hand and refused.
"......" mother held the red envelope, a little overwhelmed.
"Take it, a little bit of my mother's heart!" Under my persuasion, Wang Mengting took the red envelope.
I looked at the big white Land Rover at the door, and then at Wang Mengting who was taking the bus to work, and finally knew that what Ji Zhuo said was true.
Since then, more people have come to my house, and I laughed and didn't say anything, at least my mother didn't have time to think about my father, who had passed away.
……
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I received a call from Ji Zhuo, which was also a message of leaving home.
"Mom, I'm leaving!" I got dressed in the afternoon, went to my mother's side and whispered.
"Hmm!" My mother put down her work and looked away, not at me.
"......" I gently held my mother in my arms, my eyes moist.
"Zhenhua, the girl is good, don't let them down!" My mom whispered in my ear.
"I'm trying to let you hold your grandson this year!" I tried to keep my voice as low as I could so that my mother would not hear the choking of her throat.
"You...... You really don't study anymore?! The mother gritted her teeth, longed for a long time, and asked.
"I can handle it myself at the school, and I will definitely be able to get my graduation certificate this year!" I felt the expectation in my mother's words, and I said a word of reassurance.
"If you have a plan for yourself!" My mother couldn't help but glance at my chest, and her voice was a little small.
"Don't worry!" I knew what my mother was referring to, and I could only give her a word of comfort.
I stepped out, and my mother stood watch at the door, until I could not see my figure, and I never returned, and my mother was left alone again in this huge courtyard.
The road ahead of the new year is not served, and what kind of ups and downs will Fuzu Fang face.
