Chapter 48: See Red Lips Again
The snack shop at the gate of the high school, some of the benefits are not good and will be closed, but a new one will be opened soon, in order to attract more students to come to eat, it is really full of tricks, some families even started a crooked brain, in order to make money there is no bottom line, out of the gate of the high school has been going north, there is a steamed bun shop, it is just opened, selling xiaolongbao, two yuan a drawer, the business of the steamed bun shop is called a fire, as soon as the school ends, the students will swarm up. I also went to buy it, it is true that the buns are very delicious, I can eat two drawers for a meal, and the buns are very convenient to carry, you can take them back to the place where you live to eat, many students are bought and taken away directly, so there will be a big table at the door of the bun shop at the mouth of the meal, which is full of cage drawers, which are full of freshly steamed buns, and the students who buy the buns are around, you say how many drawers you want, and someone will directly take the convenient bag and hand it to you. Every day, you can see the scene of his family's business booming, and his family's steamed buns are indeed delicious, and many students eat three meals a day. I don't go to eat because I have been ordering food at the snack shop, and I have a good relationship with the owner of the snack shop, and I will pay the food fee for this month at the beginning of each month, and pay the food fee for a month in advance, and there is another reason, that is, I am not strong in self-control, and it is easy to spend the money in my hand, and I will have no money to eat at that time. I was used to seeing the scene of the hot business of the steamed bun shop, and after a long time, I didn't pay much attention to it, and I don't know when it started, and then I heard that the owner of the steamed bun shop was arrested because he added poppy shells to the stuffing of the buns. When I was a child, I remember that my grandmother would always plant a few plants in the flower pond, the old people called the big smoke gourd, the poppy bloomed white flowers, and in the autumn, the grandmother called the top knot called the big smoke gourd, and dried it at home, and gave the child a toothache or stomach ache. I heard the old people say that before the big smoke gourd is not mature, cut the skin of the big smoke gourd with a blade, a kind of white pulp will be poured out, and the white pulp will be collected and dried, and a black paste-like object will be formed. Every year, she would plant a few large smoke gourds around the garden, and then cut the big smoke gourds with a blade every summer, collect a little white pulp, and then dry them into a paste, so she collected a little bit every year, and finally accumulated a certain amount and then committed suicide after taking it, and it is said that she was still very peaceful and smiling when she died.
Not long after New Year's Day, the winter vacation is coming, and the whole winter vacation has been cut off to make up the time, and there are not many days left. I was thinking about going home after finishing my classes, there was no work in winter, and I really didn't want to see my own mother living under the same roof with other men, I felt that my father was very lonely at my aunt's house, so I decided to go to my aunt's house to accompany my father and wait until a few days before the Chinese New Year to go home.
Just after New Year's Day, a few days after I came back from home, my father came to see me at school. Mom listened to my suggestion, found someone to carry the letter, called Dad home, there are also people working in Guangyi Coal Mine in Hongxing Town, this time the two of them did not quarrel, divorced by agreement, Dad went out of the house, and did not want anything, including me and my brother. The day my dad came to see me at school, he was carrying a white woven bag with a few of his own clothes. I was in my rental house with my dad, I cried in front of him, I hadn't cried in a long time, let alone in front of him, if I had to make an excuse for those tears I shed, I think I should feel sorry for him, I never felt like he was a good father, I just felt that I had his blood in my body, and I should stand with him.
I like the atmosphere of my aunt's house, everyone in their family has very distinct personality characteristics, my uncle is the kind of temper that is extremely good, you can do anything, he never seems to be angry, I have never heard him angry, even if he is particularly unhappy, his face is gloomy and silent, and when facing his brother-in-law, he just doesn't smile. Auntie is the kind of person who has been talking from morning to night, no matter what she has to say, she will give you vegetables, if you don't eat she is not happy, I can feel my aunt's pulse, as long as she follows her, she will always be good to you, can take out her heart to you, can spoil you to the sky. My aunt's family used to live in Jinshan Coal Mine, but later moved to Guangyi Coal Mine, when we were in Jinshan Coal Mine, we were still young at that time, and we followed behind our eldest brother every day, and we did whatever our eldest brother told us to do. The deepest impression was when there was a neighbor surnamed Deng, and one of the Deng family's big dogs died and was left in the yard, and then the eldest brother asked us to get under the gate and drag the dog out, and he was outside to pick us up. At that time, the adults were all working in the afternoon, no one saw it, we dragged the dog to the aunt's house, the eldest brother took a knife to peel the dog, and the whole family ate dog meat and drank dog broth in the evening. Now although the eldest brother is married, his personality is still similar to before, and he is no stranger to growing up with him since he was a child, so I still like to be with him, my brother-in-law and eldest brother grew up together since childhood, and I am small, and my eldest uncle originally disagreed with my eldest sister and him, but I can't resist the eldest sister, the eldest sister is desperate, and threatens the eldest uncle with her life, since the brother-in-law married the eldest sister, the eldest uncle has not given the brother-in-law a good face for a day, but the brother-in-law doesn't seem to care at all, how should I be, you are angry with you, He and his eldest brother took advantage of the fact that his eldest uncle was not paying attention, so they secretly sold car media.
During the winter vacation, the school has to make up classes in the first half of the month, all students must participate, can not be absent, I took a few children's books after the make-up class, and went to the bus station to buy a ticket to my aunt's house.
When I arrived at my aunt's house, the people who worked in the mine had not yet returned, and my sister-in-law took the children to cook at home alone, and my sister-in-law cooked, and I helped on the side, and there was no one else at home, so I was with my sister-in-law, and I felt a little embarrassed in my heart, because of the last time I lit the soles of my shoes.
After 5:30 p.m., it was completely dark, and all the people who worked in the mine came back, and after they washed up, we began to sit down and eat together, and my brother-in-law took a sip of wine, put down his chopsticks and asked me: "Brother-in-law doesn't understand everything, what does it mean to shine the soles of your shoes?" I said in my heart, this thing is so dead, which pot can't be opened. The eldest sister held the child in her arms and sat next to her brother-in-law, hearing what her brother-in-law said, the eldest sister was so angry that she pinched her brother-in-law's arm, and told her brother-in-law to eat if she could, and if she couldn't eat, get out quickly.
At six o'clock after eating, although it was already dark, I couldn't go to bed so early, and when I was at school, I was used to going to bed late, and they were too tired to work during the day, and they were engaged in manual labor, so I went to bed early at night. I can't watch TV at night for fear of disturbing their sleep, so I plan to go to the bookstore and rent a few books to read at night. I asked what time the bookstore was closing. The answer was that it would not close until around 8:30 p.m. So I came out of my aunt's house and started to walk to the bookstore, the most familiar to me was the Magpie Bookstore, I opened the door of the Magpie Bookstore, the curtain has been replaced by a cotton curtain for winter.
Magpie was sitting alone in the middle of the house looking at the store, she was wearing a pink mohair hand-knitted sweater, her head was still braided, and a white down jacket was on the back of the chair behind her, and when I lifted the curtain and stepped into the room, she got up from the chair and smiled at me. I don't know why, since I stepped into the room with one foot, I didn't want to be too pompous, I even deliberately slowed down my walking, and when I took the book from the neatly arranged shelves, I tried to make my movements look so graceful. I was in front of the bookshelf with martial arts novels, flipping through it, I picked up a martial arts novel written by Wo Longsheng, I flipped through it casually, I wanted to see the content introduction, and when I flipped through it, I found a color photo in the book, I originally thought it was a New Year's card, and I didn't take it seriously, but when I picked up the photo and took a closer look. That picture is the back of a woman, the back of a naked woman, she has a fiery red lip tattoo on her right buttocks, this back I just saw the other day, in my rental house, this woman is in the landlord's room, how can her picture be here?
