Chapter 70: Poor Affection
"Yo, Aunt Du, is my daughter back?" When an old neighbor came out to pour water into the ditch, he saw it and said hello.
Jiang's mother responded: "Yes, this is not a holiday." ”
"Girl, it's better to raise it yourself, isn't it?" Aunt deliberately asked Jiang Xi.
The strange things of the Jiang family, the town has spread, I think this thing is really mysterious, Jiang's mother Du Hong is a shrewd and capable woman, a woman carries a family, then she has to have some skills.
But such a shrewd and capable woman was actually replaced with her own child, and she didn't know it, is this happy?
Jiang Xi smiled, Jiang's mother's face was not so good, "A child with a conscience is good." Unlike some children, even if they are kept at home, no matter how good they are to him when they are young, they don't want to beat their parents when they grow up? The kind of person who has no conscience, and his parents are afraid that they owe debts in their previous years. ”
The aunt stopped laughing, snorted and turned to go into the house.
Jiang Xi was taken aback and followed his mother to his house quickly.
In the past, although my mother didn't socialize much, she didn't talk so hard in the neighborhood.
Someone from the Xu family inquired in the town, and after their family affairs were spread, the relationship between my mother and her neighbors was very tense.
Jiang Xi can also understand her mother, her mother is a strong character, and she also needs to be face-saving, she usually doesn't chew the root of other people's tongues, but her mother is not happy when her own family affairs are chewed over and over again by others.
"Mom, what's going on in their house?" Jiang Xi asked in a low voice.
Mother Jiang glanced at her daughter and snorted coldly: "At a young age, what do you do when you ask so much?" It's not something you should care about, it's what you should care about, it's to study hard. ”
"Oh......" Jiang Xi stopped gossiping.
She wanted to say that she was a journalist, and gossip had to be part of her job, and some of the things she heard could be reported in the news.
But she didn't dare to tell her mother for fear of being reprimanded.
When Jiang Xi returned home, he went into the small room to see his father as soon as possible.
"Dad, I'm back."
Jiang Xi pushed the door in, the smell in the house was smoky, Jiang Xi stood at the door and frowned: "Dad, why do you want to close the door?" If the house is not ventilated, more bacteria will grow. ”
Her father was lying on the bed, the room was very dark, Jiang Xi waited until she saw her father waving to her.
Jiang Xi sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his father, his eyes full of distress.
There is not much space in the house, there are only two rooms. The other room was grandma's, and this room was a little bigger, and it belonged to their family of three.
But after all, Jiang Xi grew up and needed a separate room of his own, so he later changed it to two spaces.
This small space can only accommodate a small bed one meter wide, which is made of wooden planks.
Since Jiang Xi went to high school, this small space has been occupied by his father.
After Jiang Xi came back, she slept in a big bed with her mother.
Father Jiang didn't have much strength to speak, and the hand he was holding was gently lowered.
"I heard your mother answer the phone and say you're back, it's summer vacation?"
Father Jiang felt that he was in a state of confusion all day, and he didn't know what season it was outside. I just remember that this year it was cold, and it was hot for a few days, but it was cold again, and it was not hot for a few days, why did the child have a summer vacation?
Jiang Xi said: "May Day, three days off, and then today is Saturday, there is no class, so I will come back today, there are four days, I can stay at home for three days, and leave in the afternoon on the first day." ”
After Jiang Xi finished speaking, he asked again: "Dad, are you better?" Let's call the doctor again and prescribe some good medicine for you, okay? ”
"It's okay, I'm used to it, it's going to rot every year, don't worry." Father Jiang refused and asked in a low voice, "How are you doing at school?" Is there enough money to spend? Don't go hungry. ”
"It's enough, I also make money myself, Dad, I can send money to my family when I save it in the future, and my mother doesn't have to be so tired."
Jiang Xi held his father's withered and shrunken hand, and felt distressed for a while.
"If you have money, you save. You didn't take the money from your family, and your mother was already very relaxed. Girls should have a little money on them, buy whatever they want, don't think about home. Father Jiang said softly.
Jiang Xi asked softly, "Dad, are you uncomfortable?" ”
"It's not uncomfortable, when you come back, no matter how uncomfortable Dad is, he won't feel uncomfortable."
Father Jiang's words fell, and a violent cough frightened Jiang Xi to take water and caress again.
Father Jiang mentioned the conversation several times, but was interrupted by coughing.
The dilapidated body couldn't stand coughing like this in a trance, Jiang Xi looked at it, for fear that he didn't mention any breath, so he went like that.
Father Jiang coughed for a while, and finally stopped to catch his breath.
"Dad......" Jiang Xi shouted quietly, distressed and afraid.
The mother who stayed at home spent every day in such a worrying and afraid, afraid that the people around her would accidentally not hold on.
"It's okay, dad is fine." Father Jiang let out a low voice, but his voice at this time was a little weaker than just now.
Jiang Xi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly handed over warm water, "You drink some water." ”
"After drinking, you put it down, this room is dark and smelly, don't smoke you. Jiang Xi, you go out, help you pick vegetables, you can do anything, don't guard me as soon as you come back, and accompany your mother. Father Jiang whispered, coughed a few more times after speaking, and narrowly stopped.
Jiang Xi nodded: "Okay." ”
She went out and didn't close the door, trying to open it to give the house some fresh air. But she was immediately scolded by her mother, she stood in place, turned to look at her father in the small dark room, and felt pain in her heart.
"Dad, then I'll close the door for you?"
"Shut it up, close it."
Jiang Xi closed the door, walked out, and stood beside his mother.
Her mother was still reading: "Your father's cold has not been cured, you said that you are open now, and he blows the wind again, how can you stand it at night?" ”
"I just want my dad to get some fresh air, when will he be able to come out and look around and soak up the sun?" Jiang Xi sighed quietly.
Her mother swept her coldly: "Who will serve him?" At the beginning, I told you to stop reading, you were selfish, you had to run so far away from your parents at home, and you didn't care about anything at home as soon as you left. Your grandmother is a eater, and she goes out after eating, and you can still expect them to serve your father? ”
Jiang Xi felt guilty in his heart, buried his head and did not respond.
When she was at home before, her mother scolded when she saw her, scolding and scolding, and she was often so angry that she hid and cried.
But now that I've grown up, I can finally understand my mother, in fact, scolding her is an alternative way to reduce stress.
The father of the family was lying on the hospital bed, and the grandparents ate and lived with their family, and they could not scold the sick or the elderly, so they could only scold her.
But she still didn't feel good in her heart, she sat on the small bench and watched her mother pinch the beans neatly. Jiang Xi looked at it for a while, then moved the bench and went to his mother's side.
"Mom, I'll help you." Jiang Xi whispered.
Pheas!
"Go aside."
When the slap landed on the back of her hand, Jiang Mu didn't give her a good face and asked her to sit away, "I can't do this little work yet?" ”
In fact, Jiang's mother had work to do in the afternoon, but when her daughter came back, she took half a day off and came back to accompany her daughter. What kind of work do you have in your house? It's not all about finding something to sit on your hands, accompany your daughter, and look at your daughter.
I still call her "Mom" now, but in the future, it's hard to say.
Who can guarantee this person's heart?
A prosperous metropolis like Yundu, as well as her biological parents, the other party should be such a powerful family, and that kind of glory is not comparable to the humble family with four walls, and it can't be retained.
Mother Jiang, although she is a woman, but the woman in this family is used to being a man, and she has forgotten what gentleness looks like.
Thinking in his heart, he never communicates with people, Jiang Xi has been afraid of his mother since he was a child, but he still relies on his mother.
Jiang Xi whispered: "Mom, Dad's illness, do you want to invite a doctor to come to the house to take a look?" Give him a better medicine and a cure, okay? ”
Jiang's mother stopped what she was doing and looked at Jiang Xi, "Do you think my mother is really such a ruthless person?" Can it be cured, but I won't cure him? ”
Jiang Xi buried her head and wanted to talk to her mother, but as soon as her mother opened her mouth, she was forced to swallow back the words in her heart, and she was still very afraid of her mother.
After a while, she plucked up her courage again and said: "Mom, I am very stable in my studies now, and I have also got job opportunities, and when I graduate, I will buy a house in Yundu, and then take you and my father to Yundu, okay?" ”
"You have that heart......
As soon as Jiang's mother spoke, she probably realized that her tone was too fierce, so she slowed down again, and then said: "You have that heart, buy a decent wheelchair for your father when the time comes, and the burden on the family will not be heavy at that time, and I can also push your father to walk around outside when I am free." Your dad went out the year before last and was locked up in the house all year round, pitiful. ”
"I want to take my father to Yundu for treatment, but the level of doctors in Benjiang is limited, and my father's health has become worse and worse over the years, and the doctors here will not be able to treat him."
It wasn't very serious, but when I was injured at work, I injured my calf, and I raised it all in Huiyun, and the minor illness was treated as a major illness, and the whole leg was rotten and broken.
The original wound is broken every year, and the leg is amputated. But the amputated wound was broken again, and it was rotting every year, and her father's leg was lost in the hands of the doctor.
Mother Jiang looked at her daughter: "Do you know how much it costs?" Do you give it a cure? You don't get married? Don't say it so easily, if you live alone in the future, there are many places to use money, even if you can make money, save it for yourself. Jiang Xi, the family has not prepared a dowry for you, you have to rely on yourself. ”
"Mom, I didn't think about whether I could become a family or not, anyway, my purpose in this life is very clear, to buy a house in Yundu, I want to take you and my father, and then treat my father. Mom, I studied hard so that I would honor you in the future. Mom, you can't help but give me a chance, if you don't need it, then I don't have the point of working hard. ”
Jiang Xi opened the door of her heart and communicated with her mother, don't push her outside, she is the daughter of this family, and everything she does, she will also think about this family first.
Mother Jian looked at Jiang Xi and laughed: "Silly girl, you think it's so easy to buy a house." Let's go to this house in Benjiang, but never if it's not your father who was injured, do you think this house can fall on our heads? Forget it, Mom knows you have a heart. Peel the beans out and cook them in the evening. ”
