Section 10 Go to Cao's house
The mother's tone was always flat and unwavering. Even if she said the name of the sinner who imprisoned her for the rest of her life - Cao Mu.
I stood at the door with my schoolbag in my hand, looking at my mother against the light. This woman's behavior, in my eyes, is always so abnormal. Two days ago, because of my recklessness, she could bow her head and admit her mistakes without tension, wearing the most ordinary clothes in Su Ri, like a housewife who came out to buy vegetables in the streets and alleys. And today, she wears a cheongsam, her hair is neatly combed, and her clothes are not expensive, but they are very dignified with her mother. Two days before and after, if two people. Perhaps, the visual contradiction of the outer line is not worth mentioning compared to the inner heaven and hell.
Later, I deliberately thought about why my mother could be so pampered when she mentioned my father, and then I seemed to understand that when I have given up on a person or a thing without reservation, it seems that my father is even inferior to a stranger on the street. It's like a saying, mourning is better than dying.
Regarding the matter of going to Cao's house to live, I don't know whether to be happy or sad for a while. In fact, it was when I had an unpleasant quarrel with my mother, and for me, the snickering joy in my heart was, to put it bluntly, because the Cao family was able to give me everything I wanted. Of course, as it turned out, I was wrong, and I couldn't have been more wrong.
Mother wrapped something in a very beautiful cloth. I pointed to the round package and asked, "What is this?" ”
"Your stuff."
"No, I didn't understand, why did you ask me to go to Cao's house?"
The mother stood up, wiped her hands with a towel, and two faint words came out of her mouth: "Life!" ”
Two words, to put it mildly, cover the life fragments of everyone who are closely related to my move into the Cao family, and about my mother, it is a sign of the end of the whole play.
My mother looked up at me, and this was the first time that my mother and I looked at each other after the Kan Tao incident. Feeling a little unnatural, I put down my bag, picked up a hard-boiled egg on the table, and peeled off the shell.
"Eat quickly, I'll take you over when you're done." Half of the egg I stuffed into my mouth, the yolk broke a little and fell out and fell to the ground. I was surprised and asked my mother in vague language, "Send me there?" What do you mean? What about you? The mother turned around and replied with a faint and emotionless voice, "I won't go, you go." ”
I tried to swallow the egg in my mouth, choking and my face turned red, but I couldn't care about it, and I asked anxiously, "Why?" Why am I the only one to go? ”
My mother glanced back at me, "Eat quickly!" Where did so much why. ”
Regarding the fact that I went to Cao's house alone, I repeatedly asked my mother where she was going, but in fact, I had my own little Jiujiu. And my mother's solitude made me feel more happy in my joy. When I was a child, I didn't seem to be able to hide my emotions, and I was no exception. Although I didn't agree with my mother's words, my mother's eyes looked at me, and there was obviously something added to it, that is, sadness. And the addition of this emotional spice is the small smile on the corner of my mouth like a bell.
It seems that every mother knows her children well. I grew up with my mother, and I saw everything I did.
My mother went out and fetched some water, asked me to wash my face, and said that I should not get dirty when I met people for the first time, and that I had to make a good impression.
When my mother said this, I muttered in my heart, people? Family! Isn't this my father? How do you make it look like an outsider? Even if I haven't had contact with him for so many years, it's my own father?
However, the Cao family is indeed the family in the mouth of his mother.
My mother and I walked through a dense plane tree, the street was very clean, although it was a piece of land in Nanjing, I always felt that it was more like two countries. And in fact, in the final analysis, it is the division between the poor and the rich, where in addition to money, there is also the smell of rank and status in the air.
After walking straight for a long time, there was a sudden right-angle bend, and I remember very well that the street sign said Phoenix Street. I almost burst out laughing as I followed my mother. I told myself in my heart, Cao Muxi, how good God is to you, you just thought it was unfair, so you flew directly to the branch and became a phoenix.
The more I think about it, the happier I get. Actually, I don't know what my biological father's family background is, anyway, it's better than my family. However, when I arrived at his house, I suddenly felt that I was not a phoenix, but a princess who had saved the entire galaxy.
Everything here is something I've never seen before! A few beautiful pink flowers stretched out from the red brick courtyard wall, and the wind blew and swayed, all of which made me feel that I was reaching out to call me! The courtyard walls on both sides are so high that you can't see the inside clearly. The gate is magnificent and magnificent, and through the carved door, you can see several cars parked in the yard.
I rubbed my hand against the wrought iron door, and I told myself in my heart that this was my future home! I finally don't have to live in that gloomy house anymore. This excitement almost made me shed a few tears.
My mother, who was beside me, didn't seem interested in all this, but became nervous. She stretched out her hand, pushed away my fingers on the door, and said, "Come into the house in a moment, ask you what you answer, don't look around, be polite." Things are very expensive, don't move around. ”
I was not happy, and tilted my head and said to my mother, "No, I can't move even if I live in it and become the master?" It's weird. The mother kept looking for the doorbell, and she said anxiously and casually, "If someone bullies you, tell me." After saying that, I saw my mother ring the doorbell under the rain.
I was very impatient and choked my mother back: "You have grinded all the time." Besides, what can I do with you? I can't fight, I don't have any money..."Before I could finish my sentence, a girl came out of the main building directly opposite the door. The girl looked older than me, wearing half-length white socks and black leather shoes.
I looked at the black leather shoes and my heart began to get excited, the leather shoes I had always dreamed of, this time, I was about to put them on. I stared excitedly at my shoes.
As it turned out, I was just a dream.
I should have thanked the girl for showing up to end the conversation between me and my mother, otherwise I don't know what else I would have said to break her heart.
The girl had a high ponytail, she wasn't good-looking, and she had spots on her face, but she was well-dressed, so, in my mind at the time, money was beautiful. The girl was not enthusiastic at all, and the way she looked at me made me feel a chill down my spine. My mother subconsciously tightened my hands, for fear that I would be hurt by something.
The girl opened the door without saying a word, and ran back. They all say that the children of rich families are polite, but I really don't see it.
Later, I learned that most of the knowledgeable and unreasonable came from the rich family!
