Section 22 "Uncle!"

After my father entered the door, he coughed, as if talking to himself, and as if he was talking to everyone: "That, it's okay, I have a party at night, go upstairs and change my clothes and leave." After saying that, he went upstairs without looking back.

The mother seemed to be relieved, she picked up the cup on the coffee table, took a sip of water, and said lightly, "I'll go back." With that, he got up and walked towards the gate. Aunt Qin hurriedly followed: "Oh, wait a minute, sister, I'll let the driver send you." Can you do this? Why don't you have a meal and then go? Or maybe you sleep here for another night? My mother never answered, and when Aunt Qin put her in the car, my mother looked back at me in the yard. By the light of the courtyard lawn, I saw that my mother's eyes, for example, looked much quieter.

When Aunt Qin came into the house and walked past me, she asked me softly, "You've been running for a day, are you hungry?" Let people cook for a while. After that, I wanted to go upstairs too. I was behind Aunt Qin, and finally opened my mouth: "Qin, Aunt Qin." Aunt Jean had just stepped two steps to a halt and turned to look at me suspiciously. Aunt Qin's face was also full of exhaustion, and those eyes, listless, made people feel a little distressed.

"Today, I'm sorry." Aunt Qin smiled faintly: "It's okay, they're all children." It's good that you're okay. Rest early in the evening. I nodded, in response. I was really hungry, and while I was standing still and still not figuring out where I was going, I saw my father change into a new suit and walk down the stairs quickly. As he passed by me, he once again ignored my presence, and the only thing that made me feel real was that a gust of wind that had brought him with him blew a few strands of my hair, some of which pierced my eyes.

After my father left, I was the only one left in the huge hall of the Cao family, so I picked up an apple on the coffee table and went to sleep.

For me, I am very glad that the teacher did not stir up the chaos in the world. I lay on the bed, thinking back to the scenes that happened on this day, and I only felt that the time was so short and long, as short as half a month, in the blink of an eye, long into the future, far away.

At night, I saw the sycamore tree dancing in the wind outside the window. That night, the plane tree seemed to be full of thoughts, it was alone in the veil of the moon intoxicated and enchanting, and this time, it was not it to say, it was I who wanted to ask, but it did not answer.

Gradually, I was no longer able to think about what happened during the day, and I only felt physically and mentally exhausted. In a trance, I heard Cao Cancan's voice outside the door, and I was in no mood to pay attention to it.

This night, I had a dream all night. In my dream, I ran and my mother chased after me, so that when I woke up in the morning, my head was dizzy. I pressed my temple with my hand, got up and folded the quilt and went downstairs. This morning, unlike usual, the whole family was there.

Aunt Qin found me and beckoned me over for dinner. Although yesterday's incident was not intentional on my part, it caused a lot of trouble to the whole family, so I sat in my chair and was as quiet as a little sheep.

Suddenly, grandma put down the spoon in her hand: "Mu Xi, from today onwards, my driver will pick you up sooner or later, Cancan's mother will follow the car for two days, I think it's appropriate, and you can go to and from school alone." Without waiting for me to answer, Cao Cancan stretched his neck again: "Let my mother follow?" Haha, grandma, don't you think Cao Muxi is so stupid that she doesn't know the license plate number! There was a joke in it, but I blushed as I listened. Aunt Qin slapped Cao Cancan behind him: "Eat your meal, hey when you're late!" ”

Grandma didn't answer, but stood up with her hands on the corner of the table. Aunt Qin hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was pushed away by her grandmother, and finally was pulled upstairs by Mother Wu, leaving Aunt Qin embarrassed in the air.

I have been at Cao's house for more than half a month, and I don't know why my grandmother is so disgusted with Aunt Qin, but from a certain point of view, Aunt Qin's cautious appearance in this family has a lot in common with her mother. The father treats Aunt Qin without the intimacy of her husband at all, except for the fact that the shirt is not ironed well by the maid and needs to be called Aunt Qin, usually, she doesn't even speak. As for Aunt Qin, she always chattered and chattered behind her father, but her father didn't seem to hear it at all, and went her own way.

At that time, I was still young, and I didn't know how sad it was for two people without love to be together. Later, when I grew up and experienced it, I realized that some things are not necessary in life, such as marriage without love. As someone later told me, life is like a car, and there are many levels. If you don't have the ability and right to enjoy the top, then it's better to walk.

Life is actually like this, always when you feel extremely dark, and then a cloud mixed with hail floats. Although I have always believed in the truth that the extremes of things must be reversed, since entering the Cao family, I have felt in a trance that my world is at the end of the world.

I naively thought that my identity as an illegitimate daughter would not be exposed so easily, because I rarely spoke, and if it weren't for the accident yesterday, my mother would not have come to Cao's house without incident. However, I forgot that there is a group of curious people around everyone.

Before the final exams, the teacher prepared a small test in the class and asked the parents to sign it. After entering Cao's house, the two parents read the papers with the help of Aunt Qin, and the teacher did not ask questions. The difference this time was that the teacher asked me to ask my father to sign and gave me a brown paper envelope for me to pass on!

I pinched the envelope, which was neither thin nor thick, and after the teacher repeatedly told me to put it away carefully, I stuffed it into my school bag. After dinner, I sat in the house and heard my father come back. I hesitated for a moment, then went out with the roll and envelope.

It just so happened that Aunt Qin took Cao Cancan to live at her grandmother's house that night, which also gave me the opportunity to "cause trouble".

I stood outside the door for a long time, thinking in my head about what to call my father, how to communicate, and so on.

After taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door, but my father didn't seem to hear me because of the weakness. I tried knocking twice more, but there was still no sound. Just as I was walking back with my things, the door suddenly opened. As soon as I turned around, I saw that my father was red on both sides, and he had obviously drunk a lot. He leaned against the door, and when he saw that it was me, he raised his eyebrows, and although he didn't make a sound, he was obviously surprised.

I suddenly lost my words. Looking at the man in front of me, I jerkily squeezed out two words between my teeth: "Uncle! "This is the first time in my life that I call my father a title, and even on the day I first entered the Cao family, when my grandmother introduced this "uncle" to me, I didn't open my mouth. And this time, it can be regarded as an unintentional act.

Hehe, God knows, call your own father and uncle how you feel.

"Old, old, the teacher said, yes, that, ah, it's this paper, I want you to sign it." I spread the roll in my hand, and my father frowned. I don't know if he was disgusted by the stomach after drinking, or because he was disgusted by me, but in short, his face was not ordinarily ugly.
