339.The Boy of a Small Town (3)
After that day, I went to Liu Yufang almost every day to report. In addition to wanting to be with my mother more, there is another reason why I like those three people: Aunt Yue, Uncle Tong, and Uncle Liuzi.
They are very good to me, this kind of goodness, not the kind of good that my grandmother asked me to call the uncle and aunt next door greeted me with a smile, but really loved me. Except for the first time we met, they treated me as a strange baby for a long time, and asked questions, anyway, the question was strange, I was bored by the question, and then sat there silently.
Mom didn't care, just sat on the side and watched with a smile on her face.
I think it's very strange, how can someone be noisy like this, ignore them, and the three of them can also say a word to me, from the initial evaluation of me, to later evolved into three people arguing, and later, I looked at the momentum wrong, and they all blushed and had a thick neck, just to prove that my eyes look like my mother or ...... Father.
I was used to using "he" to refer to him, and I suddenly changed my name to him, which felt very awkward.
Since that day, Aunt Yue and the three of them have taken over the daily transportation of me to and from school, and it is said that there is also a duty schedule, so I go to Liu Yufang every evening after class. I would occasionally live there, but most of the time I would go home because I knew that my grandmother and aunt were quite lonely at home.
It was Aunt Yue who reminded me that I found that my mother, who was lying in the yard in the sun like an idle person every day, had a smile on her face, but she was worried that her father would not wake up. Just like when she was sick, every time she fell asleep with her eyes closed, I was afraid that she wouldn't wake up. Calculating the time, it's been more than 20 days, he hasn't woken up once, I have been in that basement, it's very cold, no popularity at all, he just lies quietly on a stone bed like that, completely lost his previous domineering.
Looking at him like this, I have an indescribable feeling, that is, I feel uncomfortable. Obviously, I hated him so much before, and prayed that the gods in the sky would take him away and not come to rob my mother from me, but when he was really lying there, and my mother was sad under the calm surface, I couldn't be happy. Let's take this emotion as a mother. So I left the manual homework I brought back from school to my mother to do, so that she could divert her mind, which Aunt Yue taught me.
I heard Uncle Tong tell me privately that if my father can wake up this time, he will relapse later, and he doesn't know when it will be. He was also very sentimental when he said this, and it was rare to see a lonely look on his smiling face. Among the three people, Uncle Tong is the funniest, Aunt Yue is colder, and Uncle Liuzi who can play with me is so good at playing games, putting his two palms on the computer keyboard, and his ten fingers are so flexible that he can't do it.
But I have to learn to play games with him, and I can't let my mother know, or my mother will be angry. I can't let Aunt Yue know, otherwise not only will I be unlucky, but even Uncle Liuzi will be unlucky.
In the last three days of January, a man and a woman came to the house, and the woman left it alone, and the man shocked me. It's not that he looks fierce, but that he ...... Almost exactly like my father, I almost confessed to it. I was so surprised that I didn't say that I would wake up in three days? Woke up early? But...... When he came to the house, why didn't his mother come together?
It was when he noticed that he was very intimate with that strange aunt that he felt that something was wrong, he was not a father, but a person who looked very similar to his father. There are twins in the class who can't tell the difference, can it be said that this person is the twin brother of Dad? What surprised me even more was the attitude of my aunt and grandmother, who were even more afraid of this person than they were when they had been to my father. I even heard them whispering to him "master".
There are three rooms at home, one for my aunt and my grandmother, one for me, and one for my mother, and one for my mother before, and I slept with her after my father came back, and it is currently vacant. Then Grandma arranged the two of them, and I opened my mouth to object, but was stopped by a look from my aunt. At this time, the man turned his eyes to me and stared at me for several seconds before he asked, "Yao's son?" ”
Grandma nodded respectfully and said, "Yes." ”
Then I saw him slightly lift the corners of his lips and say, "Those eyes are really similar to his childhood, and the rest are ......" Halfway through the words, he didn't say any more. I didn't name him, but I understood that he was saying that I was like my father when I was a child, and I was a little different.
This thing is so strange that I didn't think about it and called my mother to report the news, and my mother was not surprised when she heard it, but paused and asked me if I wanted her to come back to the town. I hesitated slightly, feeling that my mother was bound to stay there for the last three days, and even if she came back, she was still restless, so I still didn't let her go back. I can do it alone.
At dinner in the evening, he sat there like a master, but the aunt who came with him was very kind and beautiful, and he felt inexplicably kind and kind when he looked at her. After dinner, my aunt drove me back to my room, saying that the adults had something to talk about, and her expression was very serious.
When I got back to my room, I thought it was wrong, so I pulled the door open a crack and hid behind the door and started to sound. They didn't speak very loudly, some could hear clearly, some couldn't hear clearly, and when everything was put together, I gradually understood that they seemed to be discussing the wedding of Mom and Dad. That's a good thing, so why hide it?
I was wondering to myself, when suddenly the half-hidden door was pulled open from the outside, and it was my aunt standing outside the door, her expression was shocked, and I heard the man's deep voice from a distance: "Come out if you want to hear it." This was clearly said to me.
I was caught on the spot, I was a little weak-hearted, and I walked into the living room nervously and sat down next to my grandmother. The beautiful aunt smiled at me, and her smile was a little like that of her mother, very gentle. I only heard the man say in a low voice: "What's your name?" ”
My aunt replied on my behalf: "Little stone." ”
He chuckled, "Yao's son is just such a local name? ”
When I heard this, I immediately became angry, and raised my voice and said: "My name is Sheng Shi Xiao, the Sheng Shi of the prosperous world, and the brave and good at fighting." ”
"Prosperous ...... Brave? The three words rolled lightly on the man's lips, looking at my expression with interest, and then said: "If you talk about seniority, you should call me uncle." I was stunned for a long time before I asked, "What is your relationship with my father?" ”
"I'm his brother."
And so it was! There was a little pride in my heart, and I guessed it. Hearing that the grandmother next to me asked me to call him uncle, I hung my head and ignored it, even my father hadn't really called him, why should I call him uncle. Grandma and aunt interceded with him one after another, but they didn't force me to be called, or the beautiful aunt next to me came out to solve the siege: "Forget it, it's still a child, don't be too harsh on him." After speaking, he stretched out his hand, took my hand and said kindly: "Xiaoshi, I am a good friend of your mother, called Jian Ningyi, and his name is Zhuang Yu, and he is a brother to your father." ”
I looked up at her and shouted crisply, "Aunt Ning." Leaned into her arms, and suddenly a smile bloomed on her face, and she floated to the side with a proud gaze, and it was obvious that the man who was originally slightly angry slowed down his expression.
I couldn't help but let the corners of my mouth curl, this is the conclusion I came to after a night of observation. From the moment they entered the door, I found that this person who claimed to be my uncle looked at the beautiful aunt next to him like a father looked at a mother. It seems that the bet on her is the right one.
For the next three days, the adults were secretly preparing for this event, and I was restricted from going to Liu Yufang because they were afraid that I would secretly report to my mother. In fact, they thought too much, and I also wanted to surprise my mother, but the decision not to go to Liu Yufang was right, for fear that looking at my mother's eyes that believed me, she would accidentally say something.
Finally, on this day, when I heard the news that my father had woken up, I felt excited and happy for no reason, and I couldn't wait to see him. When he actually walked up to me, I couldn't stop my excitement and opened my mouth, but the sound of my dad stuck in my throat didn't come out. To my surprise, he reached out and stroked my head...... Never since I knew him.
Then when I looked at him with wide eyes and stunned, suddenly he said, "I am not allowed to tell your mother about it, do you know about it?" Otherwise, I'll let you go back to his Dian Island to hone in on it. ”
My heart suddenly burst into tears, before he pressured me for a while and then gave me a candy to eat, this time he gave me a candy and then suppressed it, no matter what it is, it's not comfortable. Later, when my mother complained and scolded me for being a little traitor, I immediately put all the blame on him, this black pot did not let him waste his back, and it was not me who made up a lie, it was indeed that he threatened me like this.
Since then, whenever my father uses a warm face, I will be cautious, but no matter how careful I am, I can't escape his pressure, and I can only occasionally use my mother to make him suffer a little loss, but it won't be long before I am overwhelmingly at the bottom again. This life lasted until I was almost ten years old, by which time he had long since come out of his constant dormancy, and his narcolepsy was cured, and one day he avoided my mother to talk to me.
For a long time, getting along with him has been a mode of competing with each other, and I think so, although there are more defeats and fewer wins. On this day, he spoke to me with a particularly grim expression, and after listening to what he said, I fell silent. Even though I grow up and become less clingy to my mother as I was when I was a child, I still don't want to be separated from them. But my father said that he would take my mother out on a trip when I turned 10, and I should be on my own and go out to break through. The first stop is Uncle's Dian Island.
That day, when my father and mother left quietly at night, I hid behind the door. In fact, I understood that in addition to my mother's confusion and unknowing, he must have known that I was there watching, so when he went out with his mother in his arms, he stood still in front of the door for a long time and did not look back.
I was suddenly relieved that he was actually reluctant to me, but the way he expressed his feelings was not like that of others. And I really should learn to grow up, there are some things he even hides from his mother, he said, what will happen in the future is difficult for him to predict, maybe one day he can't protect his mother, I must be protected by him instead, so I must become stronger, can no longer hide in the greenhouse. As I grew older and more sensible, I understood that my father was loving me in his unique way, and I have to admit that under his training, I was no longer vulnerable, but there was still a distance from being strong.
My mother may have thought that this trip would only be back in a month or two and she would be able to meet me, but I knew that it would be at least half a year. Just as they were embarking on their journey, the man sent by my uncle from overseas to pick me up also came, and I would sail across the ocean to the legendary Dian Island, and truly start my journey.
