Chapter 66: The Taste of the Past
Dad looked at me deeply and sighed: "Yes, sometimes in the face of reality, talk about ideals and feelings. ”
I looked at my dad and said unexpectedly, "Dad, it seems that you experienced a lot when you were young." ”
My dad smiled, his lost eyes full of regret...... After a long time, he said to me: "Who doesn't have a youth, you and I were no crazier than you back then." ”
"Dad, do you remember your dreams when you were a kid?"
Dad looked at the river in front of him, thought about it, and didn't speak...... After the silence, his tone was full of vicissitudes, and he said: "I remember, when I was a child, our family was poor, and the biggest dream I had back then was to go outside and have a look." ”
"In fact, dreams are really simple, difficult, complex society, and vision and cognition that will change when you grow up."
Dad was rare and deep, and finally joked to me: "If I hadn't known your mother for a long time, I would have been tied up at home by your mother and couldn't go out, otherwise your kid might not have been born now." ”
I couldn't laugh, my dad thought I was still sad, patted me on the shoulder again, and before leaving, he said seriously: "Dreams can be realized anywhere, we can do the same in Suzhou, my dad supports you!" ”
I stayed alone and blew the cold wind, touched by my father's last words, in the helplessness of reality, my father still made the greatest compromise to me, maybe he didn't want to see his own son like him can't complete his dreams, leaving a lifetime of regrets.
But I'm still dissatisfied, dissatisfied with the seeds that can't be planted in the deep-rooted Weihai to let it take root and sprout, and dissatisfied with this ugly society......
Self-deprecating smile: "Dreams are different, there are many people who just think about it, and how many people will really work towards their dreams, and most of them still give up halfway." ”
Sitting up from the stone, I made up my mind to pay attention to no longer have illusions about my dreams, get married steadily, live a life steadily, sometimes a happy life may not be ordinary.
When I got home, Meng Yao was still at my house, and I was being educated by my mother and Aunt Zijin, giving her the knowledge she needed to pay attention to when she was pregnant, while my father and Uncle Xuan were holding chess on the side to live a leisure life in old age.
When I came in, my mother was stunned, and there was an open mouth in her eyes, but she still swallowed it and changed her words: "Where did you go so late, and I don't know how to look at Yaoyao at home." ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, aren't you and Aunt Zijin here, do you still need me?" ”
My mother wanted to say a few words to me, but Meng Yao interrupted: "Aunt Shu, I want to go out to breathe, I will let Shui Han go out for a walk with me." ”
My mom nodded and said to me, "Okay, be sure to keep warm, don't freeze." ”
I was moved, "I know, I'll definitely pay attention." ”
"I'm talking about Yaoyao, it has nothing to do with you."
I immediately smiled awkwardly, took off Meng Yao's clothes on the hanger and put them on Meng Yao, and said without looking back: Let's go, and leave the house.
......
Meng Yao took me and walked down the street, walking aimlessly towards the straight road in front of me, and the two of them were silent, neither of them spoke.
In the end, Meng Yao opened her mouth to break the calm and said, "Han, I'm sorry. ”
"It's okay, I respect you." I said flatly.
Meng Yao looked at me with complicated eyes, didn't speak again, lowered her head and muttered, but the hand holding me tighter, as if I was afraid of running away.
I walked to a turn not far from my home, where there used to be a couple of old people who set up a night stall selling fried noodles and other barbecues, and Meng Yao and I often came here to buy some supper when we were hungry at night.
I looked for it, and found that it was the same night stall not far away, and after approaching Meng Yao, I found that it was just a change of place, but it was not only the place that changed places, but also people, the wife who often accompanied the old man had changed to a young man, maybe his little grandson.
"Two portions of fried rice noodles." Meng Yao said to the old man.
After receiving a business, the old man shouted happily: "Okay." ”
I looked at Meng Yao and said worriedly, "Don't eat fried rice noodles." ”
Meng Yao shook her head and said, "It's okay, just eat it once." ”
"Okay."
But I'm really a little worried, not afraid that the old man's fried noodles are dirty, but afraid of Meng Yao, who is now pregnant, and afraid that if I make a mistake in my body after eating fried noodles, then my sin will be great.
"Add chicken thighs to both servings, and don't make the other spicy." Meng Yao said to the old man again.
"Okay, two chicken thighs, one not spicy." The old man said happily to the young man next to him.
The young man brought two chicken thighs to the old man, put them aside, and fried them together with the rice noodles.
At this time, a few people came around to buy fried noodles, and from their conversation, they learned that the old man's wife had gone not long ago, and the grandson was afraid that his grandfather would have an accident alone at night, so he often came to his grandfather to help.
"Two servings of chicken thighs, this one is not spicy."
The old man put the fried rice noodles in front of us, and after paying the money, we left here and found a quiet place to sit under the street lamp and eat the fried rice noodles.
I took a sip while it was hot and said, "The taste has changed." ”
Meng Yao took a bite and said, "Cold, it hasn't changed, it's still the same as before." ”
"It's a little salty." I looked at the fried rice noodles in my hand and said.
Meng Yao blinked, added a few rice noodles from me and put them at the end, frowned after chewing, took a handful of rice noodles from me, and frowned again: "It's a little salty, cold, or you can eat my this." ”
"No, I like salty." Saying that, I began to eat the one in my hand, Meng Yao looked at me suspiciously, and had no choice but to eat my own.
I lowered my head and ate, afraid that Meng Yao would see it, my face was almost close to the rice noodles, and a few tears fell from my eyes and stirred with the rice noodles, so the rice noodles were salty.
Just now, I overheard the old man say to his little grandson: "Your grandmother, she loves to eat fried noodles made by her grandfather every day, and every time she comes out to sell it, she asks me to make a portion for her, and only after she finishes eating will she come out to sell it with me." ”
"Now that people have changed, I let my grandson eat my fried rice noodles."
The tears were already flowing uncontrollably, and I didn't know if it was the old man and his wife who touched me, or if I had once been disillusioned with love, maybe both.
At this time, the scenes in my mind coincided with the fairy tale town, where there was a girl weaving in front of her house, a child circling around her, and many different groups of people wandering around the town, leaving footprints.
I realized that my fairytale town is no longer just a dream, but also a desire for love.
"Han, what's wrong with you?" Meng Yao asked worriedly.
I shook my head and said, "I'm fine." ”
Meng Yao poured out the fried rice noodles in my hand, and then gave me half of the fried rice noodles in her hand, and took a bite of the chicken leg, and finally gave me the chicken leg as well.
My nose was sour, and Meng Yao's subconscious movements moved me inexplicably, it turns out that love is not giving, but sharing silently, and I will never let you look at it if I have a bite to eat.
"I can't finish eating." Meng Yao smiled slightly, then lowered her head and ate the remaining half of her bowl, realized something, and looked up at me again and said, "Cold, don't cry, otherwise there will be no more." ”
"Okay." I answered.
After eating this delicious rice noodle, Meng Yao and I patted our butts and left here, smelling the smell on our bodies, I said to her: "Go again, disperse the smell on your body, otherwise my mother will talk about us again." ”
Meng Yao nodded, and walked towards this road with me in her arms.
After walking for half an hour, the smell of rice noodles on my body has been covered by the breath of the night, and when I got home, it was almost ten o'clock, Aunt Zijin and Uncle Xuan had already left, and my mother was still cleaning the living room, and when she saw me and Meng Yao, she urged us: "Hurry up and wash up and go back to sleep." ”
I said to Meng Yao, "Go back to sleep." ”
As soon as Meng Yao wanted to say to my mother to leave, my mother glared at me and said, "Where are you going, this is your home." ”
Meng Yao and I widened our eyes, Meng Yao looked at me a little embarrassed, I smiled at my mother and said, "Mom, this is not good, it is not in accordance with the rules." ”
"Why don't you follow the rules, this kid has it, and he still has it?" My mom muttered.
I sighed and said to Meng Yao, "Go take a bath." ”
Meng Yao was stunned, nodded and said, "My clothes are still at home, I'll go get them back." ”
As soon as I wanted to go back to get my clothes, I was stopped by my mother.
My mother pointed to the pile of folded clothes on the sofa and said, "Yaoyao, your mother has already brought your clothes." ”
Meng Yao was stunned again, and no matter what my expression was, she picked up her clothes and ran into the bathroom.
"Yaoyao, don't run so fast, slide carefully." My mother was concerned about Meng Yao's back, and glared at me again after speaking.
I said helplessly: "Mom, how can I offend you again!" ”
At the moment, I really doubt that I am her own child, and I can't get used to seeing me anywhere.
My mom sighed, walked over to the couch and sat down, and said to me, "Come here, mom will talk to you." ”
I went up and sat down, and my mom looked at the bathroom door, then looked at me and said, "Son, mom asks you if you're angry with me right now." ”
"It's a lie to say not to be angry, but Mom, I know what I'm going to do."
My mom smiled and said, "Mom actually understands you, you want to dream, Mom actually supports it, didn't your mom have dreams when she was young?" ”
My mother sighed and said: "Son, in fact, there are many things in this world that you can't choose, you think I limit your future, but in fact, my mother wants to better protect you, you have experienced it, your father and I have gone through it again, just let you take a little detour, it is better to finish this life plainly." ”
I looked at my mother in a complicated way, and I agreed and disagreed with what my mother said, and I said to my mother: "Mom, there is no conflict between dreams and ordinary life, and I can live a good life if I go to Weihai to realize my dreams." ”
"Mom doesn't object to you doing it in Weihai, but son, do you know your situation in Weihai? Let's just say that the last time you were in the hospital, do you say you can reassure your mother? ”
"It was an accident." I said.
My mother laughed angrily: "Okay, accident, even if you are unexpected, but look at your ex-girlfriend and her current husband, which one you can deal with." ”
