70. The Past (the third update)
Walking out of the electric city quietly, it was noon, and the sun was very strong. There are buses 50 meters to the left, and taxis are frequent, but in the center of the city, there are traffic lights every 100 meters, and no matter which means of transport I take, it is unlikely that I will get rid of the person. I simply walked to the bus stop and waited, and the man in the afterglow walked over slowly and leisurely, standing in the crowd waiting for the bus five or six meters away from me.
The small is hidden in the village, and the big is hidden in the city. If I hadn't noticed it before, I wouldn't have paid attention to such a person at this time.
Sure enough, when I got on the bus, the man came up too, and his gaze casually crossed over me to the back of the car. I looked out of my eye and saw him standing by the door, so that whenever I got out of the car, I would have to pass by him, and I wouldn't be able to lose me.
I secretly planned to get out of the car early, no matter what the purpose of this person was, it was best not to lead people home. But my mother's phone called, and I didn't leave a message when they were not at home when I went out in the morning, and I guess I couldn't find it when it came to dinner. But as soon as I picked it up, I heard a loud voice shouting anxiously: "May I come back soon, your mother fainted and fell into the river." ”
After jumping out of the taxi, I almost ran upstairs with a rush, and when I ran to the third floor, I saw several people standing in front of the door, among which was the figure of the aunt, who shouted when she saw me coming back: "Huifen, your girl is back." ”
When I walked into the house, I saw my mother sitting on a chair, her face pale. Without waiting for me to ask, the aunts began to talk nonsense, frowning and listening while looking around, and saw Uncle He hot dishes in the kitchen.
Although there were many people, I also had a general understanding of what happened. There is a small river next to this resettlement house, and my mother is used to taking vegetables to the river to wash, probably stumbling into the river when she squats for too long. Fortunately, someone next to him saw it, shouted that everyone dragged her up, and then asked someone to notify Uncle He to carry her back.
I saw that my mother was silent, and she didn't ask more in front of outsiders, but only bent down slightly to thank the aunts, and finally closed the door after sending people away. At this time, Uncle He came out of the kitchen, put the hot food on the table, and then sat down and smoked.
Judging from the anxious state on Uncle He's phone just now and his careful care of his mother in the past, he should not ignore his mother at this time.
pulled a small bench and sat in front of my mother, and asked softly: "What's wrong?" ”
Unexpectedly, my mother lowered her eyes and was silent, but Uncle He spoke first: "Wish, your mother just told me...... To disperse. I was startled, and at the same time noticed my mother's eyelids jump, and after a pause of two seconds, I asked, "What happened?" ”
There was silence.
Uncle He sighed beside him: "I also asked so, but your mother just didn't say it." ”
I thought for a while and said, "That's it, Uncle He, you eat first, I see that my mother is not very comfortable, so I help her back to the room to lie down." ”
Uncle He was an understanding person, and knew that I wanted to talk to my mother alone when I said this, so he got up and dropped a sentence: "I'll go out to buy a pack of cigarettes." So he opened the door and walked out.
The room was quiet, and I looked at my mother seriously, and somewhere in my heart was gradually dulling pain.
The mother and daughter haven't had a good conversation for a long time, but they all say that the mother and daughter are connected, and the moment I entered the door, I saw that there was mourning hidden under the calm surface of the mother. At this time, she slowly raised her head, and her eyes were so sad that I didn't dare to look at them directly.
She said, "Yes, I see your father." ”
Something fell heavily in my heart and held my breath down: "Impossible. ”
She showed a desolate smile, staring blankly at somewhere, and her voice couldn't be softer, "I have never dreamed of him for so many years, and I have had the most vicious thoughts, I hope he will not have a good time outside, and I want him to suffer as much as I do." Especially at that time of life and death, I asked Cang Tian, why did I, Du Huifen, meet such an irresponsible man, if it wasn't for He Weiming who happened to save me, I would have been in the coffin. But I never thought that he would die quietly. Last night I dreamed that he said goodbye to me, and when I plunged into the river and was about to breathe, I saw him waving to me, it turned out that he was already below! ”
In the end, my mother couldn't hold back her tears, and tears rolled down her eyes.
I saw it very sourly, I always knew that my father was a knot in her heart, even with Uncle He, this knot in my heart has never been opened. As far as I know, what really made her willing to accept Uncle He was exactly that.
That year, I was in my third year of high school, and just when it was dark for the college entrance examination, my mother saw that I was working hard, and specially rushed from the countryside to the city to bring me food and a quilt. As a result, before I could get into the car, I was hit by a truck while crossing the street, and as far as I learned later, the person was hit and flew out, but even then my mother did not let go of the bed. may be because one of the beds was blocked from the heavy blow and the shock when it fell to the ground, so it saved my mother's life.
The driver of the car ran away as soon as he saw that he had hit someone, and his mother was lying on the ground with her head broken and bleeding, and her eyes gradually became empty. I happened to be seen by Uncle He, who was passing by, and without any hesitation, I rode my mother to the hospital on a mountain bike.
It stands to reason that I, as a daughter, should have been the first to be notified of such a serious incident, but I only found out about it half a month later.
Afraid of delaying my studies, my mother did not let me be informed, and then the hospital had to have a relative sign for the operation. Finally, my mother, who had been suffering for many years, was relieved of Uncle He, and at this time she should be desperate and grief. I remember that as soon as I walked into the ward, I saw Uncle He sitting on the edge of the bed feeding my mother, not that I was sensitive, but the tranquility in the air made me realize something quickly.
Uncle He deliberately avoided stepping out, leaving space for our mother and daughter to talk alone. And my mother told me straight to the point that she had decided to live with Uncle He in the future. I didn't make a fuss, I didn't say anything, I just nodded silently and fed her the porridge that I hadn't finished that night. Everything seemed to be uneventful, but my grades plummeted, and the teacher talked to me a few times, but I said it was a personal reason, and then I called my mother again but to no avail, so I had no choice but to give up. Because I told my mother in private: I liked to draw when I was a child, and I missed art schools more than those famous universities.
Later, I volunteered to fill in the art school in Pingcheng, left Changcheng, and embarked on my own lonely road to study.
Since then, my mother has another knot in her heart, thinking that I am blaming her and deliberately alienating her. In fact, I have been dependent on my father since her disappearance, and she has done all kinds of low-level work to provide for my education, even selling popsicles on the street. However, no matter how good Uncle He is to her, I will still have a backlash, especially when they decided privately without asking for my consent in advance. And there is one more person in the family, and when I come back in a week or half a month, I become like a guest.
For various reasons, in the few years that I studied in Pingcheng, I gradually let go of the pimples, and I felt that since my mother had a new beginning, let her and Uncle He live a good life. Unexpectedly, when I came back this time, my mother turned out to be ...... Emotional breakdowns.
I took a deep breath and took her hand and said word by word, "It was a dream, not real." You didn't breathe, live well, you said that you would see Dad waving at you, but it was just an illusion when you were in consciousness. ”
But she shook her head, "Wish, you don't understand, people sometimes have to believe in fate." Aunt Mei has already calculated for me, or I can't dream of it in this life, and if I dream of it, it means that the other party is deceased. ”
My heart skipped a beat, but I frowned and asked, "Who is Aunt Mei?" ”
"It's a blind woman."
Blind woman? I couldn't help but be amazed. When I was a child, I often heard the story of the "blind people" in the village, and most of the "blind people" were old women in their fifties and sixties, so they called them blind women. I'm not superstitious, but "blindness" is said to be very expressive, saying that as soon as a person from a far away walks into the house, the other party can figure out who the deceased they are looking for is, and can get the deceased person they are looking for to come to her body and answer some questions that people in the world care about.
I asked, "Why do you believe this now?" ”
My mother said, "It's not that I want to believe, but there are some things that you have to believe." Aunt Mei was introduced to you by your aunt, before that she went to Guan Blind once, for your grandfather's public relations, she didn't say that a person found the door by herself, and the person was still sitting underneath, and I heard your grandfather's name being shouted above, asking who whose little daughter is here? Evil, don't you say? ”
I thought for a while and said, "Could someone recognize Auntie and secretly reveal our grandfather's information to the blind woman?" ”
"Impossible, your aunt went to Gu Shan, how can anyone know there."
I am speechless to refute, and I have to admit that there are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science, but I have to make you confused. "Then when did you go to find that Aunt Mei?"
Mom leaned back in her chair and looked back on the past, "Before the car accident, I went to close it once a year." ”
I felt a sigh in my heart, I had calculated it so early? Then she decided to be with Uncle He......
