Section 74 The lame drama of forgetting one's address

When I came back from the bathroom, I passed by Aunt Qin and asked her how she was doing today. Aunt Qin replied a lot better, raised her foot to show me, and it was indeed a lot less swollen. Her state of mind is also much more relaxed than the previous day, although she sprained her foot, but her father's work has resumed, which is happier for her than anything else. It's like a stone in her heart has fallen to the ground, and the tense nerves of the whole person have relaxed, and her state is completely different from the previous two days. This can be seen in facial expressions and body language. Seeing Aunt Qin like this, I pursed my lips and smiled. All of a sudden, someone mentioned my mother, and I couldn't help but feel nervous.

The first thing the uncle said when he pushed open the door and came in: "Mom, I have already made an appointment with Xue Hao and Cao Muxi's mother." ”

"Oh, okay, Xue Hao said when will you have time? How do you decide? ”

"At night, Xue Hao said at night, he will have something to do during the day tomorrow." The uncle took off his watch and said, "Today I went to Mu Xi's mother's house." "He added a family word, and my heart was closed again. When Cao Ge heard about my mother, he rushed over: "Brother, did you go to Mu Xi's mother's house?" How's her body? ”

"Well, the body is still like that, it's okay, but~" Uncle dragged a long note after this. After Cao Ge heard this long tone, he frowned: "But what's wrong?" ”

"However, the old house she lives in seems to be going to be demolished, and I think the neighbors have almost moved in. However, I really haven't heard any news of the demolition area being zoned in there. ”

"Demolition?"

"I went at noon. In the afternoon, I asked the people from the demolition and relocation office, but I didn't get a result. There is only one house left in that building now, and it feels very deserted, and it is not good, hey, weird. ”

"How come these people, who heard that the wind is the rain, all moved away? What about Mu Xi's mother? ”

When Cao Ge said this, he turned his head and glanced at me on the sofa. I was standing next to Aunt Jean, holding a tissue in both hands and stroking my undried hands. "Big brother, you go to work tomorrow, you take this matter to heart, and then go to the demolition to do a good job and ask?"

"Why are you asking me, isn't your second brother the one who is engaged in urban construction and demolition? Why go around in such a big circle. Anyway, your second brother is also your own second brother. Cao Ge tilted his head: "Okay." ”

Wu's mother beckoned everyone to come over for dinner at this time. The food on the table looks much more hearty than usual. Cao Ge and Wu's mother helped Aunt Qin to the dining table together, and when everyone was just seated, their father came back.

"Huh? Cao Mu, didn't you say that there was a party tonight? Grandma asked as she pushed to the door.

"Ah, it's canceled, no, I haven't eaten yet. Did you just eat it? "Yes, come on, come on. It's just right, it's better to come early than to come by chance. ”

After his father sat down, the uncle reminded Cao Ge: "Cao Ge, your second brother is back, don't you have something to ask him?" Father didn't raise his head, to be exact, he didn't even raise his eyelids, picked up the chopsticks and took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, mumbled, and motioned to Cao Ge to speak.

Cao Ge thought about it and put the chopsticks on the table very formally: "Second brother, haven't you heard that there is a demolition notice in the area where Mu Xi's mother lives?" ”

The chopsticks that my father was picking up the vegetables suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the bite of food in his mouth also stopped in surprise. My father must have felt that Cao Ge asked this question very formally, and it was actually about my mother. As soon as this action stopped, the eyes of the people at the table instantly focused on him, and this action put my father in a very embarrassing situation.

The father was stunned for two seconds, and then suddenly continued to chew the unfinished food in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "How do I know where her mother lives?" Nanjing is so big. ”

Cao Ge suddenly realized: "Oh yes, blame me, blame me, I forgot to mention the location." Eh, big brother, where does Mu Xi's mother live? Cao Ge said and asked Cao Qi again.

Cao Qi's expression was very disdainful, he picked up the spoon and took a sip of soup, the corners of his mouth curled, a very muffled snort came from his nose, and he whispered to himself: "Where do you live?"

These four simple words, coupled with his smile, directly made these four words mysterious. When I saw this series of expressions and actions of the uncle, I was suddenly a little scared in my heart, does this mean that he knows something? The more this desire is revealed, the more panicked it is.

The uncle suddenly asked his father: "You don't know? ”

The father turned his head sharply: "How can I know? Oh, that's too unreasonable. ”

"Doesn't it make sense?" Grandma was holding the soup on the side, and said in the direction of the uncle and father: "To know is to know, not to know is not to know, speak well, don't ask a word." ”

The uncle laughed, put the spoon into the bowl, and said, "In Meiyuan District, how could you not know?" Didn't you listen to Rong Jiao'er's drama with Xue Hao before? And when I listen to it, it's the kind I've listened to for several years, why suddenly I don't listen to this play, and I don't even know where people live? ”

When the uncle said this, it was an antisense question. After saying this, the entire table fell silent.

I was bowing my head, and my heart was in my throat. I don't know what I'm thinking, maybe I'm waiting to hear what my father has to say next. At this time, Cao Ge also suddenly realized next to him: "That's right, second brother, I just remembered, if the eldest brother doesn't say that I forgot, haven't you been listening to the drama with Xue Hao in that plum garden before?" How could you not know that her family lives in Plum Garden? Besides, aren't the mother and daughter distant relatives of their mother? I haven't asked you about it, but how did it happen? The point is, my curiosity came, I chased the stars for a few years, and I forgot where to live? It's so weird, haha. The husband put the chopsticks down: "What happened has already happened, and there is no need to know how to know." It doesn't matter if you're a relative or not, the important thing is that I've been doing so much lately that it's normal to forget who lives where. Besides, it's been so many years that it's not normal not to remember? I haven't been in touch for a few years, and I may not have moved! ”

After listening to this, the uncle smiled to himself: "Okay, when I didn't say anything." You may really have memory loss, you can remember things when you were a child, but you can't remember what is in front of you. It is not clear who gave you a gift or not, and whether he committed a crime of corruption. It seems that you are indeed an uncaring person, and this evaluation is no different from the evaluation that the outside world gives you. ”
