Chapter 66: Reminiscences 2
"Do you know, the shape of the egg cake is not neat, not to mention, there are often holes, these are okay, eat into the mouth, there is a feeling of batter in the thick place, the thin place is hard lumps, although the cake can not see the paste, but you can still feel a mushy smell. She was a little embarrassed and said that the fire was too big in front of her to fry herself, and she and your father ate it, so she brought these barely able to see it to our sister and brother. At that time, I asked her, do you eat this meal every day? No one cooks for you, no one in the family knows how to cook? Because it's really not delicious at all, I didn't put any salt in the egg cake, but fortunately she brought pickles, which was originally meant to serve porridge, and I was too straightforward at the time, but because of this, I was able to come to your house to do things. "Aunt Gui is very reminiscent of that time.
"She told me that there are only two people at home, her father and yours cook a little better, but he is more tired from work, so most of the time they eat in the cafeteria. Later I said that since you are all busy, I can help with things, and I can do any housework. She looked at me in surprise, but still shook her head, saying that I should find someone to marry me, and I can't waste my life anymore, but think about the girls in our village who don't go out to work, that is, to work as waitresses, everyone is about the same, I am close to home, or a good family, I have been grinding and soaking for a long time, and my younger brother has also gone back to school. She finally agreed to let me take care of my mother until I could take care of myself and come back to her. Later, I didn't be scared when I went to your house for the first time, because I knew that your father worked in the county government, and your mother was a big doctor, but the home was so simple that I was embarrassed to describe it, except for the necessary living utensils, TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine, these are all there, and the whole house basically can't see anything except books. The pots and pans in the kitchen are also simple and clean. In a small room, I bought a new bed, a cabinet, a table, a chair, as well as toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels and daily necessities for me to put in a plastic basin next to the table, two basins, a bucket, basically everything you can think of your mother has prepared for me. At that time, I secretly decided to repay your mother well. In the end, your mother taught me how to turn on and off the liquefied gas, repeatedly emphasized that I must pay attention to safety, as well as the washing machine, air conditioner, and refrigerator in the place, and gave me hundreds of dollars to buy groceries and buy some things that I need at home. ”
"Later, gradually the family has a breath of life, the two of them often buy some small potted plants, flowers and plants back, as well as little rabbits, little turtles, little goldfish, I know that they are really too busy to care about these, not because I don't like it, I just need to buy vegetables every day to clean up the house, make breakfast and dinner, and wash clothes, these are things that I have been studying since I was a teenager, your mother saw that I was very bored, so she let me learn flower arrangement, learn cooking, these didn't take much effort, and then I bought a lot of books, I installed a computer in my room, let me study by myself, and then you were born, maybe because your mother was really too hard, you were born almost a month early, your father called me and said that your mother was about to give birth, I quickly picked up the production bag that your mother had prepared and ran to the hospital, listening to your first cry, it was very loud and good, you, you have been beautiful since birth, your mother was worried that your skin was too red when you were born, and I was afraid that you would be as white as your father in the future. As he spoke, he also glanced at Meng Yao, motherly warmth.
"Then when you were four months old, your mother went to work, fed you every morning, and squeezed out a cup to prepare, if you have time to rush back to feed you at noon, if you really can't get out, let me hold you to the hospital, you, since you were a child, you don't drink milk and goat's milk except breast milk, your mother was hard, your father was also bitter, because your mother insisted on taking you to sleep at night, so in the end, I and your mother and you three people squeezed the master bedroom, your father slept in the living room, you have been a pit mother since you were a child, and you are willing to sleep very late every day, No matter how I shoot you during the day, you don't wake up, except for eating, drinking, and Lazar, the rest of the time is sleeping, so during that time your mother is so thin that she is almost skinny, and often she falls asleep tired when you are still rolling, but you are also strange, you don't make trouble when your mother is asleep, just eat your hands and feet. Later, your dad was assigned a bigger house, you grew up, learned to walk, and began to slowly get used to drinking milk, at this time I often used a cart to take you for a walk to buy vegetables, but my mother was the same, and gradually became familiar, knowing that the two fathers were actually colleagues, so you played together, and played until now. Aunt Gui paused a little when she spoke about this paragraph, especially when the last long sentence came, Meng Yao guessed what it was, but it didn't make sense to advance now.
"Then what happened to Mom?" This is what Meng Yao is most concerned about, and her mother said it in a few words, but it was too sloppy.
"Well, at that time, your mother had an old friend who she knew when she was in Kyoto, I don't know why she suddenly took drugs, she was locked up in a drug rehabilitation center, and when she was addicted, she couldn't control herself and wanted to harm herself, and she was sent to the hospital, but she touched the scalpel and wanted to use it to threaten to relapse, no one dared to step forward, when the doctors and the police were ready to enforce the control, your mother still couldn't bear it, and it was easy to communicate with her, she let down her guard and put down the knife, but when your mother approached, she suddenly yelled and waved and said that she couldn't stand it, The knife accidentally cut through your mother's palm. At this time, your mother was told that this person was suspected of being infected with AIDS, and your mother came back that day in despair, and did not talk to me, or even hugged you and kissed you, so she entered the door of the guest room alone, closed it, and couldn't knock on it, and didn't go to work the next day, but when I saw you come back in the afternoon, I desperately hugged you, and kept crying, I was a little confused, I wanted to ask your father, but your father's face was never so ugly, he took the initiative to say something to your mother, but your mother just cried, shook her head and didn't say anything, I didn't eat anything, and finally on the fifth day I watched your dad send you to kindergarten, and then knocked on the door without moving, and there was still no sound at noon dinner time, I found a spare key to open the door, and found that your mother was lying on it, and her breathing was very weak, so I quickly called your dad and sent her to the hospital, but it was too late, and she took two whole bottles of medicine. Tears flowed wantonly, and the sourness in my heart was inexplicably amplified.
"If only I found out in the morning, there might be hope." In fact, the examination found that she had already taken the medicine at night, because the medicine had been digested badly, and it was not very useful if she found it in the morning.
"Aunt Gui, you don't have to feel guilty, even if you save her this time, you can't save him a second time, she said that looking at me and my father, she even has to be careful and cautious in hugging and holding hands, not to mention more intimate, and she will face more gossip together in the future, she doesn't want to drag me and my father down." Meng Yao held her shoulders and saw that she was crying sadly, and Meng Yao's tears were also big drops.
