Chapter Twenty-Five: The End of the World
The one called "Mobai's widow" in the address book should be Uncle Mobai's wife. Although it was three o'clock in the morning, the phone call might disturb her, but the situation was urgent, and I couldn't care about it much.
"Hey, hello!" The phone was connected, and I politely greeted the person who answered the phone.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" The voice of a woman came from the phone, estimated to be about forty years old, but it sounded very familiar.
I smiled and said to the person on the phone: "I am Zhang Xingcan's son, called Zhang Goudan, and I am looking for Mr. Mobai's wife." ”
"You...... Are you the son of Brother Zhang? "Listening to her voice was a little choked.
"Auntie, I'm his son, am I not feeling well when I listen to your tone?" I asked.
"No, it's just a little ...... all of a sudden. Are you calling so late because there's something going on at home? "Auntie asked me.
"yes, my dad just died." I said.
"What! Brother Zhang is dead? After she said this, no more voices came from the phone.
If this kind of thing happened, if my uncle hadn't given me a vaccination in advance, then the person who would have had the hardest time accepting the reality would have been me.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" I asked with concern.
After a while, her voice came from the phone again: "Brother Zhang is such a good person, why did he die like this." ”
Seeing her reply, I hurriedly told her about it: "Auntie, we are all very sad about my father's death, but tomorrow I have something to do, I can't get away, I need to trouble you to go to the funeral home to help him cremate, this is my father's deathbed instructions." ”
"You kid, why do you even shirk this kind of thing. My dad is dead, is there anything more important than this? "She's righteously accusing me of doing this.
At this moment, tears were rolling in my eyes, but I didn't want them to flow, and then said to her with a wry smile, "Don't I want to give him one last ride?" But now there is a person who needs to have a major surgery waiting for me to take care of it, I really can't get out of it, and the operation is scheduled for tomorrow morning, which happens to conflict with the time of cremation. Am I going to watch a man die in front of me again? I, Zhang Goudan, and my aunt are not related, and I don't want to kidnap my aunt morally, but I just hope that my aunt can remember that my father took care of you for a few years in the past, so I will take the time to send him on the last journey, I beg you! ”
After a pause, I cried and said, "I'm just an orphan, and I can grow up thanks to his old man's careful care." Now that this kind of thing is happening, I am also desperate, how many relatives can I have as an orphan? All I can think of is the wife of an old man who can help me. If you can help me with your old feelings, Auntie, I will give you a salary of 10,000 a day, so it's okay, right? ”
"How do you talk about this kid, I will definitely pass if this kind of thing happens, just now Auntie didn't know that your situation was very special, since the time is very fast, I will set off now. But Auntie still hopes that you can come over to see him off for the last time after you are busy with that matter, after all...... Hello do it yourself. Then the phone hung up.
"Mom, I want to ask you something." I said as I lay on the ground and looked at the ceiling.
"What's wrong?" A mother's voice came from within.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Why do I feel that I have heard that aunt's voice somewhere, so familiar." ”
There was a "poof" laugh from the body.
I wondered, so I continued to ask, "What the hell is going on?" Mom, don't laugh and talk! ”
But my mom didn't seem to be able to control it, and she still laughed. In that case, I can't ask anything from my mother, I can only ask my biological father.
"Dad, what the hell is going on?" I asked.
I thought he would say something like letting me think and study on my own, but this time he said, "I forgot my mother's things after drinking milk!" ”
"What's the situation? What do you mean to say...... She's my nurse? "I felt incredible.
"Yes, do you think Xingcan, a big man, is busy making money all day long to support his family, and what time and energy do you have to take care of you, not to mention that when you were a child, there was no such thing as milk powder in this town, you were only weaned at the age of two, I didn't expect you to forget it like this." My dad was angry that I had forgotten what happened when I was a child, but he didn't criticize me, he just wanted me to drink water and think about the source.
I want to seriously recall the past, but I really don't have any impression, didn't I have been with that aunt since I was two years old?
"yes." Dad said.
"Wow, dad you know what I'm thinking, don't talk suddenly, it's scary." I was taken aback by my dad's move.
"Don't be frightened, have no fear. Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. Dad was silent after saying these two words. It's good not to speak, otherwise you will be scared to death if you pop out a sentence coldly.
"Why did she leave after I was weaned?" I asked.
My mother told me, "Actually, she has always loved you, and she originally planned to take her daughter to live here with you forever." It's just that there are rumors everywhere that your uncle coveted her beauty and took possession of her after the death of his friend. For the sake of your uncle's reputation, Auntie doesn't want to see him hurt by the gossip of outsiders, so she bears these foreign language attacks alone. Immediately after you weaned, you moved to the next town and never came back again. ”
I felt inexplicably sad when I heard it, if the two of them took care of each other, even if they didn't do the things of husband and wife, life should not be so difficult.
"Later, when your uncle found out that she had secretly moved out, he would send money to their mother and daughter from time to time until her daughter graduated from college." My mother thought for a while, smiled and said to me, "Xiaomo will come tomorrow, and you can meet." Dan'er, you may not know, when you were a child, you always bullied her, and your aunt loved you very much, because the wearers were dressed the same, so that outsiders couldn't tell which of the two of you was Auntie's biological child. ”
"Haha, there's this kind of thing, how old is she?" I asked my mom curiously.
Mom said, "I'm as old as you, and I was born a day later than you." ”
"Take advantage of it, I'm his brother!" I secretly rejoiced.
"Other people's brothers love their sisters very much, but you're different." Mom laughed at me.
"That's because I'm too young and ignorant, and I won't anymore. Dan'er has grown up. "I forcibly excused myself.
"What? Seeing that someone's parents have become big girls, I have a crooked mind, and I want to have a building near the water to get the moon first? "Mom was joking with me.
I was a little annoyed by my mother, and said, "I have Lin Xiao, and I won't fight other women's minds anymore." ”
"Then you went to open a room with that girl at the bar a few days ago, what are you doing?" Mom continued to press close.
"That's business, Mom, you know!" I explain.
"Doing the right thing is doing the right thing, you ripped off the bath towel on the girl's body, and you should see it, don't say that you don't beat other women's minds, men are just talking." Mom is still in hot pursuit.
At this time, unexpectedly, my father came forward to relieve me: "Wife, I have never beaten other women!" ”
At this time, my mother quipped: "Know! Know! A chivalrous and fairy-like boy like my husband, who is willing to pity me, this poor painted skin demon, has already overdrawn all my good luck in the next life! ”
Dad hurriedly said: "Chaowen lady, you can die at night!" ”
......
Listening to my parents show affection, my heart did not fluctuate, and I even wanted to go to sleep.
But so many things happened overnight, and I closed my eyes and had a lot of thoughts.
