Chapter 20: The Meaning of Her Existence
She said that since her grandfather's death, almost every weekend, her brother came to her, and at the same time, spent a day with her at her mother's residence, and at that time, every day together was so talking and laughing, for her, every week she looked forward to this day on the weekend, but it seemed that some magic spell was haunting her, and the good times did not last long, and something happened again!
She remembered that day her brother came to wait for her at the school gate as usual, but she was delayed for a while because of a little thing, and when she was waiting for her to go out of the dormitory, she happened to meet a senior student who had been pestering her in the school, saw her go out, and hurriedly stopped her, and said
"Yo! Our little beauty Muxi is going out?! Where are you going? Do you want my brother to accompany you?! ”
She glanced at the boy, ignored him, and walked in the direction of the school gate, but the boy saw that she ignored herself, and quickly stopped her again and said to her
"Why are you in such a hurry? Is it dating a little lover? ”
When she saw the boy say this, her expression changed slightly, she stopped, looked at him and said
"What am I going to do, is it your business?"
After speaking, she continued to walk towards the school gate, and when the boy saw her say this, he did not leave embarrassedly, but followed her even more shamelessly, and said to her
"Of course it's none of my business! Because I like you! ”
She listened to the boy's words, her face was full of disgust, and then she thought that her brother had been waiting at the school gate for a long time, and she was in a hurry, so she began to run towards the outside of the school gate, and the boy saw her start to run, and hurriedly followed behind her, until she left the school gate, saw her brother waiting at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello
"Huh! Brother! After staring for a long time, let's go! ”
When my brother saw her come out, he nodded and said
"Why is it so long today?"
She said with a grin
"Hehe, it's not my mother's birthday today, I prepared a small gift for my mother!"
The brother looked at her in amazement, and then asked rhetorically
"It's Mom's Birthday? Why didn't you tell me sooner? I didn't prepare for anything! ”
She was also slightly surprised, and hurriedly said
"I thought you knew?!"
Seeing this, the elder brother stopped and thought for a while, and then said
"Let's go! If I remember correctly, there was a flower shop in front of me, so let's go buy a bouquet of flowers! ”
She nodded, and followed her brother to the flower shop in front, and then asked about the price of all the flowers, which were not expensive, and the brother calculated how much money she had in his hand, and she said to him
"Brother! In fact, for mothers, our gift is just a heart! You don't need to buy a bouquet, you can buy one! ”
The elder brother was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then bought a kind, warm and great mother's carnation represented by the flower language, and then came to the mother's place with her, knocked on the door, and waited for a while, the mother came to open the door, saw that it was her and her brother, and hurriedly let them in, after entering, the brother gave the carnation in his hand to his mother, and said to his mother
"Mom! This flower is for you! Happy birthday to you! ”
The mother was pleasantly surprised to take the flowers handed by her brother, and when she saw this, she hurriedly handed the gift she brought to her mother and said
"Mom! This is my gift to you, I wish you a happy birthday! ”
The mother took it with a happy face, and then slowly opened it, and found that it was a pair of woolen gloves inside! She took it out in surprise, put it on her hand, then looked at her and asked
"Ciel! Did you make this glove yourself? ”
She scratched her head, smiled, and nodded embarrassedly
"It's the first time I hit it, so, it's a little ugly....."
When her mother saw her say this, she quickly shook her head and said
"Nope! It's not ugly at all! I love it! ”
When she saw her mother say this, she was overjoyed, but she didn't show it on her face, but said slowly
"Mom, when I'm proficient in the future, I'll give you a scarf!"
The mother nodded, then stepped forward and hugged her, then hugged her brother as well, and then said to them
"Then you guys should watch TV first! I'll make you something to eat! ”
As she spoke, her mother hummed happily into the kitchen and began to prepare lunch, seeing her mother so happy, her brother looked at her and said
"Oh, our little Xi'er can also make wool needles! I can't see it! ”
She said with a smug smile
"Hey, hey! Awesome! It was Li Yun from our dormitory who taught me! She's playing well! I'm just learning it! ”
The elder brother nodded and said
"Looks like you're getting along well with other people at school! Then I'm relieved! ”
She was slightly stunned, not knowing why her brother suddenly said this, and then her mind suddenly flashed to the morning's events and asked
"How do you say that?"
Hearing her ask, my brother asked instead
"Didn't you get along well with other people at school?"
She said hurriedly
"It's not! I just wanted to ask ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, her brother interrupted her
"Alright! I know what you want to ask! How to say, there are some transfer students in our school, and they suddenly come to this school and class that they are not familiar with at all, of course, there are some people in the class who are unwilling to accept them, which will lead to the exclusion of them, but when I heard you say that just now, it seems that there is no such thing around you! Then I'm relieved! ”
When she saw her brother say this, she said with a smile
"Don't worry! Brother, my classmates and my roommates are very good to me! Feel relieved! ”
My brother nodded, and when he wanted to say something more, suddenly there was a knock at the door, and my brother and I were stunned, walked to the door, opened the door, and saw that it was my father! When my father saw that it was my brother who opened the door, he was also stunned, and said as he came in
"Huh? Xuan'er, why are you here?! ”
When the elder brother saw his father asking himself, he hurriedly said
"Dad. It's my mom's birthday, so I'm ......"
Hearing my brother say that today was my mother's birthday, my father's body stiffened slightly, and then he hurriedly said
"Oh....oh! I see! ”
So saying, my father came to the living room, saw her, and spoke
"Ci'er is there too! What about your mother? ”
When she saw her father, she didn't call him, but motioned him to look into the kitchen, and he looked into the kitchen, and when he saw his mother in the kitchen, he slowly walked into the kitchen, hugged her from behind, and spoke
"Happy birthday, wife!"
At the moment when her father hugged her mother, she clearly saw that her mother's body trembled violently, the expression on her face immediately froze, she slowly turned around, looked at her father, and tried to squeeze out a smiling face
"Then wife, you can get food first! I'll go outside first! ”
Saying that, the father walked out of the kitchen, came to the living room, looked at the living room watching TV was her and her brother, opened his mouth to ask about the two of them at school, the brother asked what his father asked he answered, and she, what the father asked, she was ignorant of the look, but the father did not have the slightest angry look, as time slowly passed, the mother made a meal, served the table, the father quickly sat down, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, and shouted to her and her brother
"Come and eat too!"
The elder brother nodded, and was about to take her over to dinner, but she looked at her mother and asked
"Mom, let's go, let's eat together!"
Mother was about to say something, but father spoke
"Ciel! Your mom isn't hungry! Come and eat first! ”
Hearing her father's words, her expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly yelled at her father
"How do you know mom she's not hungry! Are you her? You dare to talk nonsense?! ”
Seeing that she was angry, her father hurriedly said
"If you don't believe it, ask your mother yourself!"
She hurriedly looked at her mother, only to see her mother bowing her head and nodding slowly, she was stunned for a moment, her heart was as cold as falling into an endless abyss, she looked at her mother, and said for a long time
"Mom, why don't you dare to say what you really think?!"
When her mother heard her words, she looked up at her sharply, but she had already turned her head and said to her brother
"I don't want to eat it!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the door, and when his brother saw this, he hurriedly followed! After leaving her mother's place, she didn't know where she was going, but walked aimlessly, while her brother followed her closely, until she came to a park, and sat down on a bench in the park, and when her brother saw this, he sat down next to her, and the two did not say anything, and for a long time she spoke
"Brother! Do you know what happened between mom and dad? ”
The elder brother asked
"What's the matter?"
She looked at her brother and said slowly
"Dad will beat mom! Do you know?! ”
My brother's expression changed, and he slowed down for a while before he said
"You got it?"
She was slightly surprised when she heard her brother say this, and then said
"Sure enough, brother, you know it too!"
The elder brother lowered his head slowly, but did not speak, and she continued
"Brother! Do you think that the reason why he did this to his mother is because his mother did something wrong? But even if mom did something wrong, but dad he....he shouldn't have beaten mom, last time... Last time... He... Do you know how badly he beat his mother?! ”
The elder brother lowered his head, still not speaking, but as she spoke, he began to cry, crying as he spoke
"You know what? Brother! Last time I saw my father with my own eyes....he... Beat mom! I saw with my own eyes that my mother was covered in wounds and bruises all over her body! Do you know what this means? It means that my mother has been beaten by my father since a long, long time ago......"
As she spoke, she covered her mouth and couldn't cry, and when her brother saw this, he stretched out his hand and patted her back slowly, until she calmed down a little, and her brother spoke
"Ciel! Why do you think Mom and Dad are together? ”
She thought for a moment and said slowly
"Because they like each other?"
When my brother heard her words, he laughed out loud, and then looked at her with a self-deprecating look on his face and said
"Nope! You're wrong! ”
She asked, a little confused
"Wrong? What's wrong? ”
I saw my brother slowly raise his head, look at the sky, and say
"At least, in my cognition, I don't like it like this!"
When she saw her brother say this, she didn't understand what he meant for a while, so she asked
"Then why are mom and him together?"
The elder brother closed his eyes, exhaled heavily, and said slowly
"Because....we!"
Her expression changed, and she looked at her brother in surprise, and the corner of her brother's mouth showed a wry smile, and she continued
"Because of our existence, my mother had to be with my father......."
She said that next, she didn't listen to what her brother said, but from then on, she knew that she was the culprit who made her mother not leave her father!
