After getting off the bus, we walked into Hua'an No. 2 Middle School. We walked through the teaching area to the accommodation area. From the playground on the other side of the old camphor tree, there was the sound of kicking a ball.

"I said baby grandson, do you know what your dad has done?" Grandma said.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"He made the belly of one of the female students in his class bigger, and the parents came to the door."

"Ahh I gasped.

"Hey, hey, I'm angry, I'm angry. It's really not as good as a brute. You say, does this home still feel like a home? You have to be mentally prepared. Grandma's voice trembled a little.

"What preparation?"

"Your parents are divorced. It's all come to this point, can you still get a divorce? ”

"Does mom agree to a divorce?" I say. I guess my mother won't get divorced anyway.

"Oh, your mom doesn't agree. I don't know what your mom wants your dad to do? You don't know, as soon as you go to the countryside to study, your dad starts doing things that are sorry for your mother. It's been a few times. This time it's good, people are coming to the door. Grandma said.

The door was open, and in the hallway I heard the yelling of a strange man and the hysterical crying of my mother. Then came another woman's roar.

I pushed the door open and entered the house. I saw my mother sitting at the dining table, crying and slapping her palms on the table. Father stood by the coffee table. A strange man and woman stand in front of their father. Grandpa stood in the hallway of the room and smoked.

"You say, you speak! You think your silence will solve the problem? Let me tell you, you don't fucking do what Lao Tzu asks, I won't let you keep the iron rice bowl? The strange man pushed his father's shoulders hard.

"I really have feelings for Zihong, I didn't lie to you. My wife and I have been divorced for more than a year. Father said.

"you," the mother stood up abruptly and slapped the table hard, "Zheng Rensen, can you say such things?" Do you still have a conscience? ”

"I said, daughter, what do you want from this kind of person? Are you still happy living with him? Grandma said.

"It's your business to divorce or not," said the strange man, "and you think my daughter will marry you?" I see you've taken the wrong medicine, you can fucking be my daughter's father. So don't tell me this. Six thousand yuan, can you take it?! ”

"I really ......"

"What is steamed and boiled, you just have to say whether to take it or not." The strange man shoved his father, who stepped back against the wall.

"You!" Father's eyes widened.

"What am I? Don't you think Lao Tzu pushed you? Lao Tzu not only pushes you, but also beats you. The strange man slapped his father in the face. The voice was exceptionally crisp.

His father's face turned blue, and he instinctively pushed the other party.

"Yo, dare to fight back. You fucking play with my daughter and dare to fight back, I won't kill you?! I'll beat you to death! The strange man beat his father violently. The strange woman also walked up and kicked her father twice.

The mother stopped crying. She got up from her position, but her grandmother, who was standing next to her, pressed her down.

"This is His recompense, His retribution! Let him! Grandma said in a loud voice.

I went straight to my bedroom, closed the door with my backhand, and locked it. I heard my grandfather calling me.

I leaned against the door and didn't move. I felt like my head had doubled.

"Don't tell him this, husband, let's go, he won't be able to come up with the money in two days, so we'll go to their principal." A few minutes later, I heard a strange woman say.

"Okay, let's go. I warn you, surnamed Zheng, if you listen well, it will take two days! The strange man said.

"Purple Daddy, Purple Mom! Please give a few extra days! "It's my father's voice.

"Just two days, one more day at the principal's office! Today I'm just giving you a little color to see. ”

After a while, I heard the door slamming shut. I felt the whole house vibrate. The house was instantly quiet.

I lay down in bed. Mother had already spread the straw mat on the bed. The peculiar scent of straw mats entered my nose.

Maybe the room was stuffy because the windows were closed, but I didn't want to get up and open them.

I closed my eyes and felt very lonely, Grandpa Hao's thatched house flashed in front of my eyes, Grandpa Hao's kind smiling face appeared in front of my eyes, and Hao Junqi's immature face appeared in front of my eyes.

Grandpa Hao has gone to another world. Even his grave was submerged in water. I'll never see him again.

What about Hao Junqi? Although she is in this world, it is like time that is gone, six years, six whole years, and there has been no news. When will I see her again?

I suddenly felt like crying.

Outside, the father's and mother's scolding began again. Grandma's voice was even stronger, overshadowing the voice of her parents, and gradually, only her grandmother's voice remained.

I fell into a deep sleep.

I was awakened by my grandfather's knock on the door. The first thing I felt when I woke up was that my panties were sticky. I went to the cupboard and found an old pair of shorts to change out of the panties, and tucked the changed panties under the bed.

It was already dark.

I walked out of the bedroom. Grandparents bring the cooked food to the table. Tears were still streaming down her face. My father was no longer in the living room.

I sat down at the table in silence. My grandmother had already put the meal in front of me.

"Don't cry, Mom." I opened my mouth to speak.

"Son, how do you tell your stepmother to live again? Mom really can't get by. Mother said. The mother was haggard, and her voice seemed to be haggard.

"If you can't get by, don't get by." I say.

"Really? Do you really think so? "Mother looked at me.

"What are you talking to Qihang about? The child is still so young. Grandpa spoke.

"I'm not young, grandpa. I'm nineteen years old. If I hadn't been late, I would have graduated from high school. Don't treat me like a child anymore. I said.

"But do you know what these things are good for you?" Grandpa said.

"Grandma has already told me about this. Twisted melons are not sweet. ”

"It's to let Qihang know who his father is. He doesn't want to be embarrassed, he doesn't want this family, what are we afraid of? Grandma interjected.

"But after all, Qihang is not yet an adult, he has to go to high school and college, how can he do without his father? We're old. Grandpa sighed.

"According to what you said, children from divorced families can't go to college, how many children from divorced families don't make it to the same level?" Grandma's voice was raised.

"I said, how do you understand what I mean? The father plays a great role in the growth of a boy and cannot be replaced by the mother. He couldn't have set sail without his father's influence on him. You see, didn't he put it right when he set sail in Jiangcun Middle School? Grandpa stood by his point.

"Yo, I said you old fool, you mean to put it wrong if you put it next to you as I wanted. Haven't you seen what his dad meant by putting him down? It's just for cheating! "Grandma was angry.

"These are two different things." For the first time, my grandfather had a temper.

"Dad, Mom, don't argue." Mother said.

"Daughter, it's up to you to decide. If you want to live with Rensen, if you don't want this family to be torn apart, then you have to be wronged, this time we will find a way to help him together, if you don't want to wronged yourself, then divorce. Grandpa said.

"What do you say, you dead old man? Let's help him together? Shall we give him money to women? Grandma said angrily.

"Is there anything else you can do? If we help him like this, will he still not repent? Grandpa said.

"I can't do it." Grandma said.

Grandpa stopped talking.

By the time we calmed down and ate, the meal was already cold. After eating, my grandmother talked about my high school entrance examination. Mother's brow furrowed even tighter.

"This matter must be told to make Ren Sen think of a way, he is the director of academic affairs, this thing can't be done? If you can't even get into the second middle school, how can you get into the university? "My grandfather was worried.

"I don't need to." I say.

"Silly boy, can this kind of thing be done in a hurry? If you don't talk about it, I'll go and talk to him. He's your father after all. "My grandfather advised me.

"Not really, grandpa. I can go to any school I can get into. I don't need anyone's help. I said.

"Can't be so stubborn, baby...... Grandson, you can't be stubborn about this. Grandma said.

"No matter what you think, I'm not going to accept this kind of help." I say.

……

My father didn't come back that night.

I sat with my mother in the living room for a long time. I became the object of my mother's confiding.

"Set sail, Mom is really bitter, really bitter. How did your father become like this? How could such a ruthless and unrighteous thing be done? You hear it all. You don't know what happened before, I'm afraid that telling you will affect your studies, and your father has been divorcing me for a year or two when you went to Jiangcun Middle School. "Mother has a handful of snot and tears.

I was silent.

The mother continued: "I was in the same unit with him, and I was right next to him, and he even did such a thing. I don't even have the face to stay in school. At first, I was kept in the dark, and when he stayed at school so late, I thought he was to manage the class, and in order to do a good job in the academic affairs office, I felt very sorry for him, and tried to cook something delicious for him. I'm so stupid, I'm really stupid, I made up his body so well that he went to a schoolgirl, you say, how embarrassing do you say such a thing is? ”

"Does he want to do it if he wants to lose face?" I say.

"Actually, my colleagues at school already knew which female student he had gotten along, and I was left in the dark alone. Teacher Shen and Teacher Liu, who played well with me, hinted at me, and I didn't understand it until one night......

It was almost eleven o'clock that night, and your father hadn't come back yet, and I burned him a rice wine stew, and the rice wine stew was not delicious when it was cold, and I thought to myself that he was so hard, and the school was so close, why didn't he send it to him personally? So I went to him with a rice wine stew.

There are still lights in the school building, and a few hard-working students in each class are reading, and the other students are going home or back to the dormitory. But your father wasn't in the classroom, so I went to his office to look for him.

The whole office building was silent. Although the street lights in the hallway are turned off, after all, I have worked here for so many years, and I am familiar with everywhere. The lights in your father's office are not on, it's dark. In fact, all the offices were dark, and the teachers who had studied for the evening self-study class went back. Normally I wouldn't go to your father's office again, but I don't know what made me decide to go anyway.

That's what I heard. Can you believe it? When they set sail, they didn't even close the door. Oops, I barely believe my eyes. The girl grabbed her clothes and pants and ran away, and your father stood there stunned. At that moment, I felt that your father's body was the ugliest nude in the world. The rice wine stew in my hand fell to the ground and shattered. My heart shattered along with the bowl.

I wish it was a dream, but it wasn't a dream. How could this man be your father? How could this person be the one who hugged my waist on the mountain behind the east gate and said that he would stay by my side for the rest of his life? How could this person be the one who let your uncle beat him, let your grandmother scold, and said that he would never leave me? The more my mother spoke, the more sad she became.

"Mom-"
