Chapter 12: Living Alone
The next day, there was an explosion of news in the dull community, and people rushed to tell each other to remind each other, and the speed of transmission was as fast as the lost growth in the movie, and it became a perfect warm-up for the holiday.
"You know what? I heard that it was miserable that whoever died. ”
"What? What the hell? I said, "Why haven't I seen it lately?" ”
"It's been dead for days, and someone found out when they smelled the stench and called the police. His child is not around, and he was only notified today and is rushing back. ”
"Hey, you tell me, raising children is to prevent old age, but they all go away to the big city to develop, what can we do when we are old, don't end up like this."
"No, we'll be in touch often in the future, don't let this happen."
When the children of the deceased returned, they wept bitterly, and although many people lamented such a thing, they never stopped pointing fingers.
"Why don't we want to come back, but now we have someone to fill up our place when we take a day off from work, not to mention that we can't stay for at least a week when we come back? When I get back, I can almost say goodbye to the unit. Why don't we want to return to our hometown, drive a luxury car, wear a famous brand, but we don't have that kind of strength, and we always feel gray. Parents always say that they don't want their children to be rich and rich, they just want a smooth life, but how to reflect that life is smooth? Not only to have a significant other, children, but also money, this is an endless cycle. The children of the deceased were so emotional.
"That's why you don't go home to see the old man and don't call?" Indignant crowds.
"It's not."
Instead of the hustle and bustle downstairs, I sat quietly on the bay window, basking in the lazy sun. Dagang called me to inquire about the situation. I hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
Things seem to be settled, but there are still things I can't figure out. According to the current situation, Dagang's mother's condition should be more serious, but the truth is that the two of them are the same, and I didn't find anything suspicious in the room. Outside, though, the night doesn't seem to be very quiet. My parents' condition is much lighter, just a side intrusion, and it will get better soon.
I held up my phone and pondered the wording. Dagang's mother must come back today, the New Year is coming soon, and the old people firmly believe that there are gods in their own family, and it is impossible to spend the New Year outside.
I had to tell the truth. Da Gang was silent for a moment, "No matter what happens, Brother Ming, you are next to us, and I believe that you will definitely come to rescue us as soon as possible." ”
For what happened downstairs, the parents also felt a lot of emotion.
"Thanks to our family Mingyi who persevered with Master Guangyin, and will be by our side in the future, this will definitely not happen." The mother was full of confidence.
I smile and stick to it? When I was young, how did I know what persistence was, how did I know what persistence was, it was just a matter of stubbornness, and after gradually becoming sensible, I knew that I had persevered, but I was not young anymore. But one thing is for sure, I will stay by my parents' side.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere, and when I turned around, I found that my father was glaring at my mother, and he was afraid that I would be sad if I suddenly mentioned the master.
There is a lot of sadness, and there are also a lot of blessings to the master, who may have thought about what will happen now, and told me more than once: people can choose to remember the past and not extricate themselves, or they can also choose to fight to protect what is left behind.
Now my choice is obvious, the master is gone, and what is left behind is the whole world, as well as the hope of the revival of the sect.
"Mom and Dad, I'll teach you a set of swordsmanship for health preservation, and exercise every morning in the future." I smiled brighter than the sun outside the window.
And the smiles of the parents at the moment seem to run through the four seasons of the year, and they are not controlled by the timeline at all. Of course, I understand that they are just trying to cooperate with me, to be happy that I have come out of the depression so quickly, and to ask myself to have a good body so that I don't have to worry about it.
Of course, the sword immortal has to keep his mouth shut about the swordsmanship he has learned, but this set of health swordsmanship is not among them.
Time always flies quickly, after teaching his parents, he answered a phone call from Zhou Ze, and dinner was served on the table in a blink of an eye. Years ago, there were always endless things to do at home, such as now, my mother wants to fry twist flowers, oil cakes, steamed buns, etc., etc., this is a big project to launch the whole family, every time I meet me and my father's stop, she always has apricot eyes, "If you don't get some of these things, how can there be an atmosphere for the New Year!" ”
Atmosphere has also become the most frequent word in the past few years.
"Mom, don't wash the curtains, I'll just take them out and shake the ashes."
"How can you have a New Year's atmosphere without washing!"
"Wife, don't wipe the top of the wardrobe, you can't usually touch it at all."
"I want an atmosphere, an atmosphere!"
"Cleaned up? Let me see, is it cleaned under this sofa? Cleaned under the bed? Can't you just move the sofa and bed away and clean it? There was so much ash underneath that the atmosphere was gone. ”
Mother would always pull out a bunch of things just when you thought the cleaning was over, like the back of a stool, like the mezzanine of a suspended ceiling, like under the refrigerator.
So when you clean up, you must remember that you must not say, "Mom, I'm done." I'm going to ask her: Mom, what else am I doing? Normally, she thinks about it for a while.
"Well, let me think, fridge wiped? Everything was cleaned on the TV stand? It seems like there's nothing left. ”
This is a valuable experience summed up after years of hard work. Always remember not to be reasonable, as this will cost you your father, a sympathetic ally.
"Can a son have a wife? When I grew up, I married a wife and had children to play by myself, and only my wife could live with me for the rest of my life. You said you must be the closest to us? Wives have to be reared? We're all men, so don't pretend to me, it's okay to coax your mother. Every time my father said this, he looked at his mother, and the tenderness in his eyes could drown people in it.
Therefore, when there is a dispute between the son and the mother, the father's position can be imagined.
Today's fried dumplings, this is the thing I hate the most, to knead the dough into long strips of chopsticks thickness without cutting off, and then layer into a basin filled with oil, every time at this time, my hands are always stained with a one-to-one natural blending oil, sticky and slippery, indescribably uncomfortable.
So I was very different from when I was a child, and my parents always said that they never imagined that I would one day be able to help them do these jobs.
Mother's phone rang, picked it up, said two words and hung up.
"What's wrong?" The father was a little unhappy when he saw the mother returning.
"I made a mistake, what did they Su team suddenly fell into a coma, and after waking up, they began to talk nonsense, and they were sending it over. Why don't you send me to the hospital. Mother nagged, maybe there were a lot of things in the past two days, and his mood was more or less affected.
I was stunned, forgetting what I was doing, and my heart seemed to forget to beat.
Why did the master say that I shouldn't stay with my family for a long time, it's only been a few days since I came back, and all kinds of things have not stopped, and it seems that I should move out after the New Year. Thinking like this, there is another heartache, how many years have my parents been looking forward to the reunion, but I have never been able to satisfy them, and then think about the dead downstairs. His eyes unconsciously turned to his parents.
"What are you doing?" My father saw my strange behavior and was a little puzzled, especially the way I looked at him was very uneasy, and his confidence in speaking was a little lacking.
"Zhe Xi's surname is Su." We are all accustomed to the title of Zhe Xi, and we have forgotten that there is a Su character before these two words. It should indeed be forgotten that his parents are still fighting day and night on the mahjong table, completely ignoring the existence of Zhe Xi, and the most hurtful way to hurt a person's feelings is not to beat and scold, but to ignore it.
Only when he was short of money, Zhe Xi would pick up his parents' phone in surprise, and then go back to send money in despair.
