Chapter 185: First Entry into the Maze
"Xuanzi, you ...... last night Did you sleep well? "My aunt came in with a bag of vegetables, and asked me as soon as I entered the door.
"That's good." I looked at her, trying to see something in her eyes, but she only had doubts in her eyes, and sure enough, she could act, aunt, if you do something to hurt my uncle, I will never spare you, I am leaving now, you can't hurt me, I don't know if you will leave your uncle at this moment, if you leave silently, don't do anything to lose your conscience. "Auntie, why do you ask?"
She shook her head, her eyes glistening with tears, "I'm just wondering, you're leaving today, won't you be able to sleep." ”
"I slept well, auntie." I took her hand, "I'm leaving, my grandmother, uncle, and Siyuan will ask you to take care of me." "If you're not bad, you're a really good candidate.
Her other hand put the dishes on the table and held my hand back, "Xuanzi, when you can't sleep at night, you can think about some things, my aunt doesn't have anything good for you, think about some things, don't sleep so deeply." "I thought to myself, I want to sleep, but can I sleep? You drugged me, deliberately kept me awake, and then sowed discord between me and thick ink!
"I'll think about it, aunt." I say.
"Sister-in-law, let you not deliver food!" At this time, my mom came in from the backyard, and she rummaged through the dishes on the table, "And so many more, I can buy them." ”
"Sister, how can I buy something that is grown at home, Xuanzi will go back with you, maybe you won't be used to the food over there, bring some home dishes, be kind." My aunt went over and patted my mother~'s arm, "Look at your dark circles!" Are you going to take Xuanzi home, too excited to sleep? ”
My mother's face twitched, "Sister-in-law, my mother's mouth, I can't stop at the mention of Xuanzi, and I'm not worried about that, I was told by my mother to fall asleep several times last night, and then I was woken up and continued, I can't get up this morning, but my mother~ is still in such good spirits." "It's time for my mother to taste my mother's nagging, but how did my mother grow up? When I think about it, my grandmother is full of love for me.
"Mom, isn't this reluctant Xuanzi, you picked up such a big daughter for nothing, Mom is a handful of and a handful of urine on the ground, Xuanzi pulled the big one, alone! Now that you've snatched it, you can bear with it, girl. My aunt said with a smile.
"Son!" The grandmother shouted in the yard again, and my mother answered and went with a bitter face. I nodded silently at her back, take care!
"Xuanzi, you have to think more about sleeping at night, my aunt will go back to help Nong Mo clean up, and everyone will have a meal together at noon and send you away." My aunt went out after saying that.
After a while, the grandmother came in with her mother, "Xuanzi, where is your father?" ”
"Huh? I didn't see it, I guess it's at my uncle's house! "I said, what's wrong? My dad is going to suffer too?
The grandmother patted her mother on the back, "If you can't remember, let Xuanzi's father remember it!" ”
"Mom, I remember it all! I really remember! My mother begged for mercy.
"Well, this needle and thread, thimble, all with you, in case you can't buy it over there." The grandmother took out a lot of hungry small things from her waist pocket, which are usually used and common in the countryside, and these may not be able to be bought in the city, she is really thoughtful.
"Xuanzi's school, you don't know about it, if you don't let her live outside the school, you have to prepare some daily necessities for her, that washboard ......"
"Mom, there are washboards in the city! But now they all use washing machines. ”
"How can the washing machine be washed by hand! Don't wash Xuanzi in the washing machine at every turn! Wash all the clothes of Xuanzi in the end! The grandmother said, "You can use the washing machine in winter, but what about in summer?" Save effort with a washboard! ”
"Yes, yes, we don't understand the situation yet, Mom, can you not worry about it so much? Xuanzi hasn't left yet! University hasn't started yet! You're so worried, Mom, we're here! Her dad and I can't get used to it! And the thick ink! My mom said.
"Okay, I'm old anyway, and I don't know when I'll come back when you're gone." The grandmother's eyes suddenly moistened, and she turned her head, "It's old, it's useless, it's just talking nonsense, the children don't need it, it's useless to keep up with the old antiques of the times!" She said sentimentally. Old man, really. No matter how much she says, she must follow her wishes, don't object, don't be impatient, nagging about her children is their greatest happiness.
"Milk." My tears were like beans, and when I choked up, I cried, "Milk...... Let's go with Xuanzi! "I don't want to leave my grandmother at all, my grandmother lives alone I don't worry, even if it is not far from my uncle's house, but she is still alone, lonely, I have never left her, what will it be like for her to eat alone every day, I can't bear to think, she doesn't have to get up early every morning to make breakfast, will she feel unaccustomed, she is used to worrying about it, I am gone, separated by such a distance, she will be more worried, I am afraid that she can't stand it, only put the milk in front of me, I will rest assured.
"Ouch, Mom, you ......" My mother went to pull the house, and I also cried, "Xuanzi, you, you ......" My mother was in a hurry, "It's not that you won't come back, don't be like this!" ”
"Xuanzi, my grandmother has already said that she doesn't want to go." The grandmother looked back, "Your parents have told the grandmother about this before, but the grandmother thinks that when you are old, you have to return to the roots, you say, take the grandmother over there, the place of life is not familiar, in the city, how can there be such a visit here, the grandmother does not know people, and can not go out alone, the living habits are different, you young people can learn, the grandmother is this age, just want to live a stable life, in the city, the grandmother will be more anxious." "What the grandmother said is reasonable, I have nothing to refute, even if I disagree with it in my heart, I still feel that I have to follow the meaning of the grandmother.
"Mom, I really don't dislike you, I just don't want you to be too tired, it's not good to think too much." My mom explained.
"I know, I know it all, okay." The grandmother wiped my tears and held me in her arms, "Xuanzi, ah......" she choked up again, "Go to school well, go over there and call the grandmother, don't wait too long, the grandmother will miss you, if you have time, come back and take a look, the task of the grandmother is completed, and there is nothing to look forward to." ”
"Milk." I said, "Xuanzi will come back often, how could I forget you!" You and your uncle are my closest people! "I promised my grandmother.
The farewell meal was very jubilant, but my heart was extremely depressed, I laughed vigorously, but I knew that it was more ugly than crying, and thick ink said a word or two.
"The stock of the Shaw Group in our city showed a sharp decline today, according to insiders, there is a huge debt crisis within the Shaw Group......" snapped, thick ink turned off the TV, he sat down again, and picked up the rice bowl.
"Don't watch TV when eating, it's a bad habit." Thick ink said to me. His eyes were full of black, and I turned on the TV to ease the embarrassment.
"Sister Xuan, the rice in your bowl is still full." Siyuan said.
"yes, eat well." My uncle said, "I'm going to leave after eating." ”
When the car started, my grandmother and uncle were all standing at the door, my father waved his hand outside, stepped on the accelerator, and my grandmother knocked on the car window, "Xuanzi, purslane is in the red bag, let your mother dry it and store it!" ”
"Well, I know......" I couldn't stop the tears at all, "Grandma, you go back, we're leaving." The car quickly left them behind, the thin and small figure of the grandmother stood there, as if the wind could blow away, how could I be willing, how willing to leave her alone, I really wanted to run down now and take the grandmother away anyway, but I couldn't, the figure of the grandmother became smaller and smaller, and finally, I saw my uncle and aunt walking up to her and patting the grandmother to comfort her. A little green snake came out of Siyuan's pocket, goodbye, Lu'er! What puzzled me was that I didn't see anything unusual in the town today, no Zha Chengyan, no other snakes, no weasels, as if before I knew it, the town had regained its peace, goodbye town, goodbye, this place that I had brought disaster, and I hope my departure will make it a better place.
The car left the dirt road and sank into the traffic, my parents sat in front, I sat in the back with thick ink, thick ink held my hand, I glanced at him, and then held it back, for a while, crying like a fool. This town, the town where I have lived for eighteen years, and those lovely and simple people, goodbye......
I've always been insecure, and now I'm going to enter a new world, facing the unknown, and my family over there...... I don't know any of my family, my grandparents, my own uncle and his family, my uncle and his family, I don't know any of them, like, I still have an aunt...... I don't know how to get along with them, I grew up in the countryside, and I must treat people differently from them, I don't know if I will be liked by them, in addition to thick ink, Siyuan, I also have cousins and cousins, how do I get along? I'm scared of all of this, thick ink, and he knows I'm scared.
"Ah Xuan, don't be afraid."
What a big city looks like, I've only seen it on TV, where there are many high-rise buildings, there is a lot of traffic, and everyone is doing their own thing in a hurry...... "Xuanzi, it's home." "When I opened my eyes, the car door had been opened, and my mother pulled me out, and the thick ink went down from the other side first. My feet stepped on the ground, there was no dirt, it was clean, "Xuanzi, hurry up!" "It's Daddy calling me.
"Ah Xuan." A hand came in and dragged me out, and in the blinding light stood a line of people, I knew it was my family......
