Chapter 2: Adventures on a Rainy Night
When I went out in the morning, the weather was very good, Cui Miqi had a meal at the teacher's house at noon, and practiced the piano for two hours in the afternoon. When she came out of class, she found that it was dark outside, and a rainstorm was coming. She looked up at her watch, and the hands were not yet half past five, and her mother was probably still on her way to arrive. She looked around, hurried to the opposite street, and hid in a small supermarket.
"Hey, Mom, when are you arriving?"
"You, wait, I'm blocking here, I'll be late."
"Then you drive slowly, I'll wait for you in the small supermarket opposite the teacher's house, be careful on the road."
"Alright, take care of yourself, wait for me."
Cui Miqi put her phone in her schoolbag and looked around, but she couldn't find a place to sit. The eyes of the waiters in the supermarket swept over her, and the look at her was almost like looking at a disgusting fly. Hmph, this person is too realistic. It's starting to rain outside, what's wrong with coming in and sheltering from the rain? Look at the way she looks, as for it? It's not like I don't have the money to buy it, so I'll buy it for you. Angry in her heart, she unchained her schoolbag, found her purse, and pulled it open. With a "clang", two coins popped out of the wallet. The two coins, like divers, made a perfect jump, fell from their wallets to the ground, and they spun handsomely on the ground several times.
Trimici hurriedly chased after them, picked up the two coins and put them in the palm of his hand, staring at them deadly. The two coins, one golden and one silver-white, add up to a five-cent piece. She didn't believe that she only had such a little money left on her, and she turned her wallet inside and out. Alas! After looking for a long time, I finally saw her pull her shoulders down and walk out of the small supermarket unwillingly.
Shame on her death, the waitress looked at her for the last time, as if she were looking at a piece of, even more hateful than the look in the eyes of the flies just now. A gust of wind rolled up outside, slapping the rain on her face, making her shiver chilled. Who is to blame for this? Just blame her mother. In order to prevent her from spending money indiscriminately, she only had those two coins left except for a bus card. When she was in school, she never dared to open her purse, for fear that others would find out about her poverty. If you want to say that her conditions are not bad, they are not worse than the top, but they are more than enough. Dad's hard work in the past few years has finally improved a little, my mother's job is stable, although the salary is not high, but she has everything she should have, but everything she has now is given by her mother, she has the final say, and she can't have any opinions at all. No, this man has lost enough today.
She was standing in front of the supermarket, her shoes wet with the rain, and the rain was dripping down her trouser legs, and even her hair was wet. She patted the rain on her head with her hand and looked out into the street, hoping to find her mother in the rush of people.
On a rainy day, the sky has been covered with dark clouds, and the sun is still high in the sky at this time on weekdays, but today it is as dark as night, and the street lights have not yet been turned on. She was a little anxious, her mother hadn't come yet, would something happen on the road? She couldn't help but call her mother again, but no one answered. She's so big and has never been so helpless as she is today. She didn't have an umbrella with her, she didn't have any money, she couldn't even take a taxi, and she suddenly felt that life was really boring. While she was thinking, an electric car drove towards her. The people in the car were wearing raincoats, they couldn't see their faces clearly, and the lights were dim, but they looked like a little electric like their mother.
Sure enough, Xiao Electric stopped not far from her, and the people in the car glanced at her and did not let her get into the car, but drove the car under the corridor of the supermarket and took off her raincoat and got out of the car.
"Mom, why are you here? You see, I'm getting wet with the rain. How do you stop here? Let's hurry home. Cui Miqi didn't wait for her mother to come over, and greeted her. She flattened her mouth aggrievedly, and her eyes complained.
"The intersection on the other side of my house is flooded by the rain, and I can't go back for a while, so I stay here for a while and wait for the rain to stop."
"But Mom, I'm hungry! I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"Cui Miqi, do you know something? You think I didn't want to come sooner? Don't look at this weather yet! ”
Meng Lisha became angry when she saw Cui Miqi's attitude, such a big person, she would only remember herself and not think about her. The road was slippery in the rain, and she almost fell on the way here, just to keep her from waiting. She was cautious all the way, for fear that something would happen to her and she wouldn't be able to pick her up. But what about her, she complained as soon as she came up, and she was justified?
Before Meng Lisa finished speaking, a dazzling lightning bolt crossed the dark sky, followed by a "boom" and a lively thunderclap. The sound sounded like it was about to split the sky in half, and it made people's ears buzz.
"Ahh Scared the hell out of me! Why is it so loud thunder. Mom, I can't stay here. ”
"If you want to go, I'm going to wait for the rain to stop anyway. If this electric car can't start halfway, then what should we do? ”
"W-what should I do? I'm really hungry. Cui Miqi held her stomach and shouted that she was hungry.
Lisa Meng took out her purse from her handbag, took out a hundred-dollar bill from it, and handed it to her. "Go, buy something to eat."
She took it happily, pinching it with one hand and flicking the bill a few times with the other. Wow, it's so nice to be rich. Look at her if she doesn't go in to buy and buy, and see if the waiter dares to look down on her.
She hopped to the door of the supermarket, pushed it open, and walked in with her head held high.
After a while, Cui Miqi walked over with a bag of things in her hand. She flaunted the contents of her hand at Lisa, took out a bag of potato chips in the bag, tore it open and ate it.
"Mom, let me tell you, I wanted to buy something to eat just now, but I only had two coins on me except for a bus card, which added up to a dollar of five, and the money to buy a bottle of water was not enough. You don't know, the waiter looked at me in a way that was so annoying. Mom, it's all your fault. ”
"Blame me? Tell me about it. ”
"I must blame you, you said that if you give me more pocket money, will I be so embarrassed as I am today?"
"So what do you buy now?"
"Bread, milk, chips, chicken thighs, cakes, ......"
"How much did it cost?"
"Ninety-eight."
"Then do you understand why I didn't give you money? A hundred dollars, you will spend it for me, how much do you say you can spend a month? ”
"Mom, how do you say that? Look at Xie Xiaoqing, her mother stuffs money into her wallet every day, just afraid that she will be hungry, and look at you again, like something. When I was growing up, it was the time to grow my body, did you have a mother like you? ”
"Don't mention anyone else to me. Let me ask you, from just now to now, have you asked me if I am hungry? From just now to now, you just care about eating for yourself, and don't even ask me, is this what your daughter should do? ”
"Well, Mom, it's me who's wrong this time. I'm not so happy. Come, come, Mom, eat a piece of cake and drink another bottle of milk. ”
Meng Lisa walked into the corridor a little further, close to the wall of the supermarket, with her back against the wall, and did not look at Cui Miqi's dedication.
Cui Miqi chased after him, and kicked a rice bowl next to him in a hurry. There was a "bang", and a silver-white rice bowl turned around on the ground a few times, glowing with a strange light under the light of the supermarket.
It turned out that they were just talking, but they didn't notice that there was a person lying under the corner. The man was wearing a dark black outfit that might not have been changed in a few days, some were torn, and some smells came out. The man was kicked because of his job, and his body, which was originally lying down, sat up straight all of a sudden. His hair was so long that he had to pull it away with both hands to see the person on the other side.
"Little girl, this temper needs to be changed."
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you. I didn't mean to, I'm sorry. When Cui Miqi saw the appearance of that person, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to look at him, dodging like a three-year-old child who had done something wrong.
"This big brother, I'm sorry, my daughter is not sensible, don't be surprised." Meng Lisa snatched the things from Cui Miqi's hand and gave it all to the man, she didn't even have a chance to protest, her hands stretched out, and retracted again.
After giving the things, Meng Lisha took out a hundred yuan from her wallet, gently put it into the man's rice bowl, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, you can keep this little money and buy yourself something delicious." Our mother and daughter won't disturb your tranquility, and we'll leave as soon as the rain stops. ”
"Mom, what are you doing?" Cui Miqi was not happy at first glance. Her mother was very stingy with her, but she was generous to others, and she was a hundred yuan when she made a move. "If I were you, I wouldn't give him a penny. The contents of that bag are worth a hundred dollars, so why should he be given a hundred dollars? ”
"Why are you like this, child, is it easy for people to sleep on the street on a rainy day? What's wrong with helping him? If it were you, it would be a shame to die. Not to mention that a hundred dollars is not much, can this money buy self-esteem? Look at what you said. ”
"Mom, what self-esteem can he have as a beggar?"
"Don't talk nonsense, it's that everyone has self-esteem."
The mother and daughter were still arguing about what had just happened, and the rain outside was getting lighter and lighter. The man picked up a bottle of milk and a piece of bread, and ate it in large gulps. As he ate, he nodded his head and kept smacking on his lips, looking very delicious. The 100 yuan in the rice bowl was gone, and only the empty bowl was left on the ground.
Seeing that the rain was subdued, Meng Lisa walked to the side of the electric car, put away her raincoat, and put on her helmet, while Cui Miqi was still indignant about her snacks.
"Mom is a little interesting, but daughter is not so interesting."
"Uncle, what do you say?"
"Little girl, do you have any wishes, tell me about it? I can't help you achieve it. ”
"Uncle, don't be funny, what can you help me wish? In this way, it is good to be able to fulfill your wishes. ”
"Cui Miqi, don't want to leave? Don't hurry up yet. Lisa Meng urged in the car.
"Tell me about it!"
"I, ah, I want my mother to hear the voice of my heart, this is my only wish now. Take care, uncle! Bye! ”
Cui Miqi heard her mother's scream, hurriedly put her schoolbag on her back, trotted to Meng Lisa's side, took the helmet she handed over and put it on. When she turned around, she found that the corner of the wall was empty, and the uncle had disappeared without a trace.
"Strange, why is that uncle missing? Walking pretty fast. ”
"If you're hungry, others won't be hungry?"
"Yes, Mom, the money you gave him just now is enough for him to have a good meal. Mom, I didn't expect you to be so generous to others, why haven't I seen you be so generous to me. ”
"When you can control the desires in your heart and stop spending money indiscriminately, I can think about it."
As soon as Meng Lisa finished speaking, she twisted her hand and started the car to slowly melt into the night. The car enters the traffic like flowing water.
"Little girl, seek kindness, there is nothing impossible in this world, but the time has not yet come. As you wish, stay tuned. ”
Cui Miqi's ears suddenly sounded a voice, which sounded like the uncle just now. What's going on? Could it be that she was overly hungry and had auditory hallucinations? She sat in the back of the car and shook her head vigorously.
"Cui Miqi, what are you doing? Shaking anything, my car can't drive steadily. ”
Lisa Meng let out a loud roar that brought her back to her senses. She looked around at the street lamps that quickly receded behind her, maybe it was really just her auditory hallucination. She sat down and sped home with the car.
To her surprise, it was just one night, but the following days changed dramatically, and the lives of the two mothers and daughters were completely changed.
