Chapter 142: The Last Gift

"Xiao Ruo, hurry up and find a dress for your mother, you have a good eye, what color do you say your mother wears?"

Zhang's mother tinkered with the clothes in her closet, which were almost turned into twists, but there were still intermittent clothes that were torn out by Zhang's mother, compared them to the mirror a few times, and then stuffed them back into the cabinet in dissatisfaction.

Zhang Ruo, who was in the living room, heard the shouting and walked over, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw his mother's bedroom looking in a mess.

"You said that you are not a teenage girl, your son and I are in their 20s, why are you so particular?!! If you really can't pick it out, you just pick a red one, anyway, it's an auspicious one. ”

Zhang Ruo leaned against the door, a little helpless.

Therefore, the stinky problem of women's love for beauty will not migrate over time.

"Oh, Mom has already thought about it, but isn't today your cousin's big day? You said I'd wear a red one again, wouldn't this steal the limelight from Xiaoyu? ”

Thunder??

Zhang Ruo shook his head coldly.

How old are people, how many are you, you are just dressed as a flower, I am afraid that you will not be able to steal the limelight from others.

"Mom, I wear a white wedding dress when I get married now......"

"Isn't your cousin in the country? It's not that it's still customary. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm really losing to you, I'll show you."

Unable to resist his mother, Zhang Ruo finally compromised and walked to his mother's closet.

Zhang's mother was overjoyed, picked up all the clothes scattered on the ground and stuffed them back into the cabinet.

"Son, then you pick it up for your mother first, I have to go to the kitchen to clean up the specialties now, I haven't had time to pack them when I bought them yesterday!"

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Zhang Ruo is still quite confident in his own taste, regardless of men and women, it is a kind of forced style cultivated over time, nodding happily, he turned over his mother's wardrobe.

Zhang's mother also felt that she was busy when she turned around and went to the kitchen.

After tinkering for a long time, Zhang Ruo was a little upset.

It's not that he doesn't want to find clothes for his mother, but this wardrobe is really messy for him to look at, and after a while, his mother turned it into like this, and sighed slightly.

I simply took out all the clothes inside.

The cabinet was emptied, and Zhang Ruo threw all the clothes on the bed, looking for clothes suitable for his mother while tidying up.

When I finally found a set of decent, simple and atmospheric clothes, the messy clothes were almost folded.

He put aside the clothes he had chosen, and put them back in the closet with the same clothes as Yamataka in his arms.

When he walked to the side of the bed again, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a sports coat falling from the corner of the bed.

Zhang Ruo remembered that this coat was bought by his mother when he was in high school, and it was a brand that sold more hotly at that time.

It's just that so many years have passed, and I haven't seen my mother wear it in the past few years, Zhang Ruodu thought that this dress had been thrown away, but he didn't expect it to be left in the cabinet.

Walking forward, Zhang Ruo bent down, picked up the clothes on the ground, and shook them twice, thinking that when he went out later, he threw them together, and saw a piece of paper floating out of his pocket.

His face was slightly stunned.

Squatting down again, Zhang Ruo picked up the paper on the ground.

Curiosity compelled him, so he sat down on the bed leisurely, put down his clothes, and spread out the paper with his fingers.

As soon as he spread it out, Zhang Ruo saw the content on the paper clearly, and his whole expression was wrong.

Breathing alternately between deep and shallow, the paper clenched tightly in the palm of his hand.

Standing up expressionlessly, stretching his legs, Zhang Ruo ran straight to the kitchen.

Zhang's mother was squatting on the ground tidying up things, she seemed to be in a good mood, and she would hum a few words from time to time.

"Mom."

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

agreed, but didn't look up at Zhang Ruo.

Zhang Ruo squeezed two steps forward, stood directly in front of his mother, and raised the note in his hand.

"Tell me, what is this?"

"What's it, don't you see your mom busy?" Zhang's mother impatiently pushed Zhang Ruo's legs that were blocking her eyes, not noticing that Zhang Ruo's tone was wrong.

Zhang Ruo closed his eyes, and there were obvious green tendons on his arms, as if he was enduring something.

"You stand up."

"Oh, you wait until I'm done here, and I'll tell you later."

The corner of his mouth sneered.

Zhang Ruo squatted down and snatched the bag from Zhang's mother's hand.

"You tell me, what is this, tell me !!"

The paper was crudely shoved into his mother's hand.

Zhang's mother was stunned and spread out the crumpled paper in her hand, and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Ruo, only to see that the other party's ears and eyes were scarlet, and her heart was suddenly shocked.

"You, how did you find it?"

"You asked him to write this?"

Zhang's mother was silent.

"I ask you if you're !!"

Zhang Ruo's patience gradually lost and roared roughly, and Zhang's mother was instantly frightened.

Even in adolescence, when Zhang Ruo was the most rebellious, Zhang Ruo never yelled at herself like this, as a mother, of course she knew what she was wrong with doing this, but she didn't regret it.

Holding the kitchen counter, Zhang's mother stood up, pulled the hair scattered on her sideburns, looked up at Zhang Ruo with moist eyes, and admitted without hesitation:

"Yes, I asked him to write it."

Zhang Ruo tightened his eyebrows incredulously.

The index finger pointed at his mother, but it fell tremblingly.

"Why? Mother? Why do you humiliate him so much, he has never felt sorry for us, never, you can't humiliate him like this......"

"Xiao Ruo, mom is not humiliating him, mom wants you all to be well, can you understand? You will not be fruitful together, if your mother does not do something desperate, does not let you break your thoughts, but is harming you, can you understand your mother's hard work? Xiao Ruo, ......"

Zhang's mother patted her chest and hissed to explain.

"Mom...... I have already promised you to break up with him, why do you still hurt him so much, he has never forced me, I am willing to fall in love with him, it is my ingratitude to break up with him and give up on him, but you still force him like this......"

Listening to Zhang Ruo's words, Zhang's mother was screwed together.

He bowed his head and wiped the falling tears.

Mother Zhang looked up at Ziru again, and her breath condensed.

"Anyway, he won't come to you again, I told him at the time, you already have another girl, everything is just right, it's useless to say anything, you can keep this note if you like, if you don't like to keep it, tear it up and burn it."

After speaking, Zhang's mother stuffed the paper in her hand back into Zhang Ruo's hand.

There was no trace of softness, and the tone was terrifyingly mean, Zhang Ruo took a few steps back with the note, and there was an inexplicable feeling of dizziness on the top of his head.

Leaned weakly against the cupboard.

"Oh, by the way, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Zhang's mother took the photo and poured it back, put the photo in her hand next to Zhang Ruo's hand, and continued:

"This is the person I asked your cousin to introduce to you, I also went to college in Jiangcheng, the school is not far from your A University, the little girl is about the same age as you, and she is also good-looking, although the family is from the countryside, but both of you are people who have read books, and you will come out to take the exam for a stable job in the future, and live together safely, if you are interested, go and meet." At the back of the photo is the girl's contact information. ”

Zhang Ruo tilted his head slightly, and didn't look at the photo the whole time.

"I'm not interested."

Zhang's mother's face froze, but it was only an imperceptible small movement, and she quickly regained her calm.

"If you're not interested, I'll meet you, but if you do, maybe you'll be interested."

Zhang Ruo sneered and lowered his head, picked up the photo in his hand, and tore it to shreds in front of his mother.

"I'm not interested, don't you understand? I said I don't like women, do you understand?!!! ”

"Smack-"

A slap hit Zhang Ruo's face hard.

Zhang Ruo's face didn't bother to reach out and cover it, but he still laughed lowly, laughing sarcastically, laughing creepy, and laughing desperately.

"I raised you so big, did you just let you talk to me like this?"

"And how am I going to talk to you? You've deprived me of my lover, you've deprived me of all my choices, Mom, shouldn't I accuse myself? ”

"Okay, I'm depriving you of your love and depriving you of your choice, so I ask you, Zhang Ruo, what about mine? Who do I owe in my life, your father died when you were not two years old, I didn't remarry because of you, I was afraid that others would treat you badly, and I didn't dare to fall in love, who took away my lover's rights? Zhang Ruo, am I wrong? I just want my son to live a normal life, I don't want to be wrong, I have worked so hard to love and protect the person who has been caring for so many years, and someone will point to the backbone behind my back? What's wrong? ”

After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she cried out of control.

Zhang Ruo was completely dumbfounded.

The answer is undoubtedly that no one is wrong, if you really want to be wrong, you can only be too small, no one can protect well, mother, Ran Anjie, all ......

But......

"Mom, I understand, I was wrong......"

With a cool smile, Zhang Ruo reached out and hugged his mother tightly.

"Xiaoruo, Mom, Mom didn't mean that......"

"But Mom, An Jie is not wrong, the injuries he suffered are too innocent, I can promise you not to associate with him in the future, but I can't hurt him selfishly, at least, I, I can't go against my heart and marry a woman, I would be more willing, for a lifetime, alone, only with you......"

Zhang's mother didn't speak again.

The whole person leaned silently on his son's shoulder, tears flowing quietly on both sides.

It's like acquiescence, it's like there's nothing to say.

In the end, Zhang Ruo still didn't shred the note.

Instead, he found a wooden box, put it in the box, and pressed it into the deepest layer of the bottom of his box.

Even if it's the last gift they give each other.

Despite the name of that gift, it was not pretty.

Say goodbye.
