The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense. In my state of mind at the time, I wanted to see what happened, and I also hoped that this embarrassment would end soon. The man called out to his father twice. At this time, one of the ladies who had just been bumped into by her mother frowned and asked her father: "Brother Cao, why did this distant relative of your family suddenly become a singer in Meilinyuan?" In a word, it is difficult to see the extreme on the faces of both father and mother.

Just as the guest wanted to ask further about her mother's current situation, the grandmother came down the stairs and said with a smile as she walked: "Xue Hao, you grew up with Mu'er in Xiao'er, and I saw that you were curious." These are all 40 years old, why are they still the same as when they were children, and they like to get to the bottom of things? You should learn from my eldest brother Cao Qi, you shouldn't worry about things, never care. Hehe~"

Xue Hao turned around and saw his grandmother, awkwardly touched the tip of his nose with his right hand, and smiled: "Mother Cao, in your eyes, aren't we all children." Haha, Brother Cao Qi, I can't learn in my life, just his IQ and EQ, both political and business worlds can play. Eh, Mother Cao, this Rong Jiaoer was from a theater near our Xue family before they moved out. At that time, every time Cao Mu went to see me, we both went there to listen to Rong Erjiao's play. It's a pity that I moved away later, and I got busy, and I rarely went back there. Occasionally, when I go to the plum garden, I also pass by for office work. Come to think of it, it's been almost 10 years! Time is too fast. Didn't I see the old man and get excited! ”

"Haha, excited, don't scare talents. Come, let me introduce you, Rong'er, a distant relative of my hometown, this is her daughter, who has come here to spend the night for a while. Rong, this is Xue Hao, and our Cao family is a world friend. ”

The mother nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting. But this Xue Hao showed his "specialty" again: "No, Mother Cao, Rong Jiao'er is your relative?" Cao Mu has never told me for so many years? Is this her daughter? So big? This, how does this kid look a little like that ......?"

Grandma immediately interrupted him: "I said Xue Hao, you don't have a hundred thousand whys." Hasn't you heard Rong'er's play for a long time? It's just right, let her come to a song today, so that you can solve the regrets of so many years. After that, grandma sat on the sofa, which can be regarded as blocking Xue Hao's mouth.

The guests all looked to their mother.

If the dilemma in this world that can make people embarrassed in front of everyone's eyes is to remove the fig leaf, then there is also a suffocating dilemma, that is, the public's perspective eye. The gaze cast on my mother, if compared with the flash lights on the stage, is not inferior at all.

The mother could only smile hard at the corner of her mouth, then put down the package on her arm and stood in place with her hands clenched into fists. Xue Hao twisted his head and shouted at his father: "Cao Mu, how about listening to the song "Peach Blossom Temple" that Rong'er Jiao sang the best?" Father didn't look at him, just took a sip of the champagne in his hand with his lips and hummed lightly.

Xue Hao looked at his mother and said thoughtfully, "Rong Jiao'er, you are old." Have you been living in Cao's house lately? This time, I have time, I want to catch up with you and hear what happened to you over the years. The mother raised her eyebrows slightly and whispered, "I'm not here, only my daughter is here to stay." I, I'm still on the side of the plum garden. ”

Xue Hao was stunned for a moment, and flicked the cigar cigarette in his hand: "It's okay." Anyway, if your daughter is here, you can come often. My wife also likes Henan Opera very much, and if I have the opportunity, I invite Rong Jiaoer to sit at my house, and I also invite some friends to come and see the quintessence of the country. The mother nodded slightly, and said yes.

Xue Hao asked everyone to flash a clearing in the center of the hall, and asked his mother to open her voice.

My mother sang music and raised me for 10 years, and I never really heard my mother sing about this craft except for a few words she whispered at home. As soon as the mother opened her voice, everyone praised her one after another. Nine circuitous lines of voice swirled and circled over the hall. At my age, I was not interested in opera, especially the singing of quyi, so I couldn't understand the true meaning of the lyrics.

Later, by chance, when I heard the song "Peach Blossom Temple" again, I searched the Internet for its lyrics. Among them, there is a sentence "There are thousands of gentlemen passing by, why don't you see Zhang Cai coming home?" "I think that when my mother and my father didn't have a chance, this song was just a classic song of looking forward to her husband's return. And later, when the father really disappeared into the world of the mother's more than one year, the mother sang again, how bleak should the state of mind be? I also wonder if my father would have a disturbed conscience when I was by my mother's side that day.

After a song, everyone sighed. Mother Wu and I stood on the steps of the side staircase until my mother finished singing and thanking everyone, and then we went up to the second floor together.

That day, Aunt Qin and Cao Cancan were not at home. While I have mixed feelings about my life experience, I am also worried about whether one day in the future, the Cao family will be in chaos because of me? I shook my head, loosened the strap on my head, and loosened my scalp twice with my fingers.

Mama Wu took us to a bedroom in the southwest corner of the second floor, which was not large, but it was very satisfying compared to the cramped and simple single room where I lived with my mother. Wu's mother gave a brief explanation, and then went downstairs to continue to greet the guests. My mother tried to put the clothes she had brought to her closet, but I refused. I said I'll do it myself in a moment and let her go.

Actually, I just wanted to be alone for a while, because since I scratched Kan Tao, one thing after another was like a meteorite from outside the sky, and I was a 10-year-old child at the time, and life wanted to make me strong at the same time, but I forgot to give me the time to accept. However, the sentence "let's go", in the mother's view, is to drive and chase. I saw my mother's hand to unwrap it stay in the air, and trembled slightly with the word.

After a moment, the mother hurried out of the room. When I calmed down and heard the sobs coming from the door, I realized that my mother had not left, but was standing at the door, crying.

Stubborn as I was, I still didn't go out to explain anything, and I didn't comfort anything. My head was a mess of porridge, and I simply walked to the door, and closed the pale blue door casually, blocking out the sound that made my conscience throb.

I don't know when my mother left. I don't know when the guests downstairs left. I sat alone on the edge of the bed for a long time, and I accidentally caught a glimpse of the package my mother had given me. Open it and put it in the cabinet.

In the middle of the third and fourth pieces, I found a velvet bag of gold velvet. I picked it up, and it was upside down, and it was quite heavy. When I opened it, I saw that it was a necklace with a sense of age.
