Chapter 17: Her Mother's Cowardice
She said that since that transfer, she began to live in the school, every week, she will go back, but she can't see the figure of her aunt, but every day she comes back, the family will always keep enough money for her to live for a week, at first she is indeed a little uncomfortable, but, slowly, she will get used to it, relatively, they are not unfriendly to her in the same dormitory, so she quickly adapted! She originally thought that she would be able to live such an ordinary life, but one day, the teacher asked her to go to the office, saying that there was a woman who claimed to be her mother who came to her, so she went to the office and saw that the woman waiting for her in the office was really her mother who left when she was a child, so she immediately stepped forward and hugged her, and while calling "Mom" in her mouth, tears kept flowing down! And the mother also saw her, and couldn't help crying, the teacher standing on the side saw this scene, I don't know why they are like this, but it's not easy to bother, so I have to stay aside, cough lightly, and show that they are not at home now, the mother wiped away her tears when she saw this, and then looked at her, raised her hand and gently helped her dry her tears, and then said to her
"Ciel! Mother is coming for you this time! I want to tell you! I am back! I'll take care of you from now on! ”
When she heard her mother's words, she looked overjoyed and hurriedly asked
"Really? You're not going to go any further, are you?! ”
Mother shook her head and said
"Not anymore! I've already told your aunt to take you over and live with me! From now on, the two of us will live together! ”
She was overjoyed to hear her mother say this, and then asked again
"Great! And what about Dad? ”
I saw my mother's expression change, and she said hesitantly
"He... He's probably going back to his grandparents' house! It's okay, don't leave him! ”
She heard her mother say this, nodded, and was about to say what to say next, when the class bell rang, and her mother hurriedly said
"That's it! It's okay, you go to class first! I'll be here waiting for you to get out of class and then I'll take you home! ”
She nodded, and then happily ran towards the classroom, that day, she never felt that time passed so slowly, it felt like centuries had passed, and finally waited for the end of school, she ignored Li Yun's shouts, rushed to the office, but found that the office door was ajar, she walked over gently, wanting to scare her mother, but as soon as she walked to the door, she heard her mother's voice from inside
"Teacher! Don't worry, I will definitely get Xi'er's tuition in a few days! ”
I only heard the teacher's voice come from inside
"Just give you three days! You know, Mu Xi, this child, was punished in the previous school! This is for the sake of seeing that your sister and I used to be classmates, and then I begged the principal to let her go to school here, if you can't even pay this tuition, then she won't want to go to school! ”
Then came the mother's voice from inside, saying
"Yes, yes, yes! In three days, I will definitely make up the tuition fees! ”
Immediately afterwards, I saw the door of the office open, and my mother walked out slowly
"When did you get here?"
She said hurriedly
"I ..... I just came, I was just about to knock on the door, but I didn't expect you to come out!"
Seeing this, the mother rubbed her head and said
"That's it! I'll take you back first! ”
She nodded, and then walked out of the campus with her mother, and then in a remote house not far from the campus, walked in, went up to the top floor, and came to a room, which only had a small living room, a bedroom, a toilet and a kitchen, and only listened to her mother
"In the future, come here on the weekend to find me! I'll give you living expenses when it's time to bring it! You know?! ”
As she spoke, her mother handed her a key and said
"No! Here's the key here, take it! Don't get rid of it! ”
She nodded, and watched her mother walk into the kitchen, and she said quickly
"Mom, do you need my help?"
When her mother saw her say this, she hurriedly smiled and said
"You help? Will you? ”
She smiled, put the key in her pocket, and then went into the kitchen to help her mother with the dishes, and her mother was a little surprised to see that she really knew, so she asked
"Do you really know how to? Who taught you? ”
She smiled and said
"When I used to live with my aunt, I learned it by myself!"
Mother frowned and said
"Your aunt? She doesn't know how to cook, huh? ”
She saw her mother say this, smiled, did not speak, and then after cleaning the vegetables, she began to prepare to cut vegetables, her mother wanted to stop her, but saw her extremely skillfully picked up the kitchen knife, so she did not stop, and then watched her start to burn the oil pot, stir-fry, all in one go, the mother could only watch quietly on the side, did not say a word, until she fried the vegetables, she happily brought the dishes to her mother and said
"Mom! Come on, you can taste it, is it delicious?! ”
Mother looked at her fried vegetables, took a mouthful of them with chopsticks, and said as she ate
"Delicious!"
When she saw her mother say it was delicious, she smiled proudly and said
"Hey, hey! My aunt also likes to eat my cooking! ”
With that, she took the dish out and came back to ask
"Mom, what else are we going to cook?"
Mother looked at her, hugged her slowly, and said
"Ciel! I'm sorry! ”
She was stunned, she didn't understand what was wrong with her mother, and was about to say something, but her mother pushed her away and said
"That's it! I'll just do it myself! It's been a long time since you've eaten a meal I've cooked, so let's watch TV outside first! No need to help! ”
She wanted to say something, but looking at her mother's determined gaze, she had no choice but to obey, came to the living room, turned on the TV, and watched the TV, and it didn't take long for her mother to make all the dishes, all of which were simple home-cooked dishes, and her mother showed her a bowl of rice, and she said while eating
"Uh-huh! Mom's cooking is delicious! It's much better than what our school cafeteria aunt cooks! ”
Mother heard her say this, grinning, she saw her mother now, she also laughed, slowly, the two finished eating, she began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, as the dishes and chopsticks were washed, she and her mother walked to the sofa in the living room to sit, watching TV, but she looked at her mother from time to time, and finally, she couldn't help but speak
"Mom! Why don't you have to go back this time? ”
The mother was slightly stunned, she didn't expect her to ask like this, she thought about it and said
"Why, you ask? Because I miss my little Xi'er! ”
She was amused by her mother's words, and hurriedly said
"Mom! Well said! ”
When my mother saw this, she said
"Because, something happened at home!"
When she heard her mother say this, she hurriedly asked
"Something happened at home? What's the matter? ”
Mother looked at her, sighed slowly, and said
"Ciel! Mommy asks you a question! ”
She saw that her mother's language suddenly became serious, and she hurriedly asked
"Mom, you say!"
I just listened to my mother
"If mom and dad are separated, who would you like to live with?!"
When she heard her mother's words, she was stunned, her head went blank for a moment, she looked at her mother, and asked slowly
"Mom, what do you mean?"
Seeing her ask, the mother hurriedly said
"Nope! It's not interesting, it's just an ordinary question! Want to know if you prefer Mom, or Dad! ”
When she heard her mother say this, she was a little suspicious, but she said it anyway
"If I like it, I still like Dad!"
When her mother heard her say this, her expression immediately darkened, but she did not notice, but continued
"Where's my brother? Have you ever asked your brother who he likes more? ”
Seeing her ask, the mother shook her head and said
"Mom hasn't seen my brother yet! So I haven't asked yet! ”
She nodded, then spoke to her mother
"Mother, me and brother, who do you like more?"
When her mother heard her words, she smiled slightly, slowly took her into her arms, and then said
"Of course Mom likes you more!"
She was in her mother's arms, felt her mother holding her, and at the same time heard what her mother said, her heart was warm, and she hurriedly hugged her mother and said
"I like you too! Mom! ”
When her mother heard her words, she hugged her a little harder, and at this moment, suddenly there was a knock on the door! Her mother let go of her and got up to open the door, but the moment her mother opened the door, the next scene she will never forget!
She said that when her mother went to open the door, she did not follow behind her mother, but when her mother opened the door, she heard a crisp slap, and she instantly knew that this sound was the sound that someone would make when she was slapped in the face, and hurriedly ran to the door, only to see her mother fall down at the door and cover her face, and her father was standing at the door, looking at her mother with a vicious look, seeing her running over, she quickly smiled and said to her
"Ahh It turns out that Xiao Xi'er is also there! Why didn't you say it earlier! ”
As he spoke, the father glared at the mother, and then did not help the mother, but stepped over the mother's body and walked in, just as he was about to reach out and pull her, she dodged the father's hand, the father was stunned, looked at her and said
"What's wrong? Little Xi'er? Am I Dad? I haven't seen it in a long time, can't you recognize it? ”
She shook her head, did not speak, glanced at her mother at the door out of the corner of her eye, only to see her mother standing up slowly by herself, closing the door, when she turned around, she saw a big red slap print on her mother's face, looked at her mother's face, slowly walked in front of her mother and asked
"Mom? Who hit you? ”
When her mother saw her ask like this, she was stunned and didn't know how to answer, but her father quickly smiled and opened the topic
"Huh! Xi'er, I haven't seen my dad so much, don't you miss my dad? Come on, Daddy hug! ”
She didn't move, but stood in front of her mother blankly, looking at her mother, and her mother didn't dare to look at her, lowered her head, and didn't speak, and her father saw that she ignored herself, so he walked up to her, and when she was about to hold her, she turned her head and glared at her father, and said
"It's your mother!"
The father was stunned when he heard her words, and the mother's expression also changed, and she hurriedly pulled her and said
"Ciel! Don't ....."
Before the mother could finish her sentence, she continued
"Why did you hit your mother? What did she do wrong? ”
When my father saw her say this, his expression became ugly, and he glared at his mother fiercely and said
"What did you tell her?"
Seeing her father glaring at her, her mother looked obviously panicked, and hurriedly said
"I didn't say anything ..........."
She looked at her mother's answer to her father, for fear that she would say something wrong, and for the first time she knew what cowardice was!
