Chapter 7: West Gate Station
As soon as Zhou Xiaojuan saw my father, she was so frightened that she immediately shrank back.
She grabbed Aunt Huang's hand tightly, looking like a frightened duckling.
My dad saw me Zhou Xiaojuan hiding in the house at a glance, he walked in with a blue face, and took my mother's hand: "Come back with me, let's go home and talk about something if there's anything, don't stay in someone's house." ”
With that, he was going to take my mother out.
My mother's tears fell immediately, she looked back at Aunt Huang, and asked her for help again pitifully.
Aunt Huang went up and wanted to say something more, but my dad suddenly looked back at her.
When she said this, Aunt Huang was a little apprehensive now.
She said to me:
"Tang Xiaofan, your father has always given me the impression that he is very loyal and kind to people, but that night, when he looked at me, he really scared me!"
When I heard this, my heart suddenly tightened: "What's wrong?" ”
Aunt Huang took another sip of water before she said carefully: "The look that your father looked back at me was terrifying, like eating people!" ”
I was stunned for a moment.
Thinking about it, my dad has always been more kind to people.
When I was a kid, he never yelled at me except when I was naughty.
Even if he is stern, he just stops on point, he doesn't blush and curse, and he hardly conflicts with his neighbors.
Therefore, Aunt Huang said that my father would look at her with that kind of eyes, and I would think it was unlikely.
In the face of my doubts, Aunt Huang was very sure.
I only heard her continue: "After that day, your mother didn't go out for at least half a month, and the neighbors around her didn't see her. ”
According to the time described by Aunt Huang, I calculated that I should have been about two years old at that time.
Two-year-olds generally have no memory.
I said, "Then ......."
"Later, your mother went out, but something wasn't quite right."
"What's wrong?"
It turned out that my mom stayed at home for a long time before coming out.
When Aunt Huang saw my mother again, she felt that my mother's whole person had changed, and she was slightly chubby before, but she looked a little thin and slightly out of shape.
Moreover, she has become less fond of talking, and her walking appearance and movements are a little wooden.
When I saw an acquaintance, I didn't say hello anymore, and when I passed by her, my eyes looked straight ahead, and I didn't make eye contact with anyone.
Aunt Huang called her.
My mother had already walked away, and after hearing this voice, she turned her head and glanced at Aunt Huang.
Aunt Huang said that when my mother looked back, her complexion was very bad.
Her eyes were heavily circled, her whole face was sallow, and her eyes were not shiny at all, like a walking corpse.
Aunt Huang asked her what happened, and my mother's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she shook her head. Then, she sped away.
In the next few years, my mother never said a word to Aunt Huang again.
As for my dad Tang Sihai, nothing has changed.
When he saw his neighbor, he still had a smile on his face, and in front of Aunt Huang, it was as if nothing had happened that night, and he didn't mention it, very calmly.
Aunt Huang was a little remorseful.
She felt that it was that night that Tang Sihai took Zhou Xiaojuan away from her, and then my mother became like this, and she was very responsible.
When her husband saw that she was depressed, he comforted her and said:
"What are you doing when you worry about this, it's someone else's housework, and it's hard for the Qing officials to decide, what are you doing in it."
Aunt Huang was very depressed.
She listened to her husband and then stopped paying attention to it.
One night a few years later, a guest came to Aunt Huang's house, she made a hot pot, and everyone was very happy to eat and drink. After the guests left, the husband fell asleep on the couch and she began to clean up a pile of garbage.
The trash can is just downstairs around the corner.
Aunt Huang went downstairs several times before throwing away all the garbage.
Throwing away the last bag of garbage in her hand, she was about to turn and go upstairs when she heard a woman's low sobs coming from behind the trash can.
The voice came and went, and although it was very thin, she could hear it clearly.
Aunt Huang followed the sound and finally found that behind the corner wall next to the trash can, there was a woman squatting, and the voice just now came from that side.
She was about to step forward, but suddenly a man came out from behind the corner.
The man walked up to the woman, touched her head lightly, and lowered his head as if to say something to her, as if to comfort her.
The woman was still crying, and the man was squatting down.
They began to speak, and the specific content, Aunt Huang couldn't hear clearly.
The women in the tube building like to watch the excitement.
Aunt Huang is one of the leaders.
So, she hid behind another wall, pricking up her ears to hear what the two were talking about and who they were. But what she didn't expect was that she had just set up her body when she saw my dad coming down the stairs.
My father, who came down the stairs, walked straight towards Aunt Huang.
Seeing Aunt Huang shrinking in the corner, he was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly became a little embarrassed. Aunt Huang stood in place, looking at my dad with a blue face in front of her, and then looked at the corner, and instantly she seemed to understand something.
Zhou Xiaojuan was dragged back by my father.
The man, too, was nowhere to be found in the chaos.
It was a quiet night, and the whole building was filled with the sound of my mother's crying. It didn't take long for my mother Zhou Xiaojuan to steal people, and it was a big fuss.
Then my mom was gone.
It is rumored that she ran away with that wild man.
My dad quit his job and came back to open a chicken noodle shop.
My mom left without knowing anything, and my dad didn't go to the police station to report the case, and her hukou is still hanging on our family's household register.
Originally, it was separated for three years, which can be regarded as automatic divorce.
But my dad didn't know what to think, and he never went through the process. During this period, some people reintroduced my dad to people, but he refused all of them.
Many people think that my dad is in love and has been waiting for my mom to come back.
After listening to Aunt Huang's story, I gradually wondered if there was something else hidden in it.
That night, that rainy night.
What the hell is going on.
What did my mom want to say to Aunt Huang at that time, but then my dad suddenly came in, which caused everything to be interrupted.
But Zhou Xiaojuan revealed such a piece of information to Aunt Huang before.
My dad took her to Ximen Station.
Second Aunt Xu said that Ximen Station is where the ancestral house of our Tang family is located......
