Chapter 172: I did my best
After school, Dad began to pick up Shi Jiu on time, and since my aunt was admitted to a mental hospital, Dad continued to work.
In reality, if you don't get out of the car, your father really doesn't have the money to repay the bank loan, not to mention, and the wasteland in Luoluobei.
Why don't you still have to live.
Send Shi Jiu home first, and only after handing over the car did my father look at me, "Okay, your mother is back." ”
"Hmm."
I nodded, my mind filled with complications, "That's good." ”
"Your third uncle should also be in our house, he knows these things, and he also persuaded me, I still have to live my life, is it really possible to get a divorce?"
Dad muttered, exhaling a cold breath, "For so many years, Hongxia has worked hard for this family, indeed, it's not easy, your father's words are right?" ”
I mumbled and didn't say much.
Right!
Everything in the world is judged by people, only likes and dislikes, how can there be absolute right or wrong?
Mom has been in trouble for a while, and everyone knows in their hearts that she will definitely not divorce her father.
Maybe the passage of time has made Ye Hongxia lose her mother-daughter affection for me, but she has a true love for her father, which can be seen in heaven and earth.
Every day since I returned to live at home in Harbin City, no matter what time my father came home. Mom would always bring him hot meals, whatever to eat and what to use, all of which would come to Dad first.
If her father has a headache and brain fever, she can stay up all night to take care of her, urging her father to pay attention to her body over and over again, even if it is her most desirable sister, she can't listen to Ye Hongling's father's words!
From Dad's point of view, Mom is really a good wife.
Think about it, if it weren't for me, my parents and Zhu Hao would still be quite harmonious
A family, even if life is a little difficult, is it still in the same boat through thick and thin?
I listened to my father all the way, and when I entered the house, the third uncle was sitting opposite my mother.
I don't know what the third uncle talked about with my mother, but my mother was still full of tears, and she didn't squeak when she saw me.
said hello to the third uncle, and said again, "Mom, you're back." ”
I was so pressed and calm, as long as I saw my mother's face, I would think of her gritted teeth, and you thought of the beauty
Every word is heart-wrenching, I really can't forget it, I can't let it go.
Mom looked down and wiped her tears, I don't know if she didn't hear it, and she didn't pay attention to me.
"Third brother, let's go out to dinner, I'll treat you"
Dad was also very helpless when he saw this situation, Zhang Luo was about to go out, "I haven't been to the restaurant for a long time, what do you want to eat, third brother, let's have a good meal today"
"What kind of food to eat, what economic conditions are you still pretending to be this big mountain, I'll take a look, it's not an outsider, it's just polite!"
The third uncle stood up, patted his mother's shoulder and comforted him silently, and looked at me in a blink of an eye, "Girl, uncle is going back to Mohe, you are good, don't let the adults worry." ”
"Third uncle, you'll leave tonight!"
It's too urgent!
"Aren't I all on the phone with you, just leave for a few days, if it weren't for the busy work of the Lord this time, I should have gone back a long time ago."
The third uncle picked up the cloth bag he was carrying, "I just don't worry about your parents, tell me a few words, Hongxia, don't cry, the third brother knows, it's not easy for you, but haven't you come over all these years, the children are all older, brother put the words here, in a few years, you will be able to enjoy the blessings, in the future, Jingwei Zhun Bao can be filial to you, the days are beautiful, you have to steal joy when you think about it"
Mom hung her face, raised her hand and kept wiping her tears, but she didn't speak.
Suffocating!
The third uncle didn't say much, and turned to look at his father, "Dashan, don't keep quarreling with Hongxia in the future." Two people, isn't it just you coaxing me, I'll coax you, and I'll live for a lifetime, don't keep screaming, I don't know you, is it that the limbs that taught physical education in the early years will not turn tendons, just forget about the good face, the words are still straight, and the quarrel will be a quarrel in the future, don't keep getting divorced, it hurts people's hearts! ”
"No, third brother, it's mainly Hongxia at that time"
Dad snorted, but the words behind him were swallowed!
Apparently!
The third uncle just knew that his parents were quarreling, but he didn't know much about the inside story, what did my mother do to me, why did my father quarrel with her and divorce
But those things don't matter anymore, my mother is back, I can live a good life with my father, some bad things can be turned over, and I can make it with beauty.
"Don't you, it's all over!"
The third uncle waved his hand, with a headache, "If you want me to see, it's good to stay in the hospital, treat it, she can calm down, otherwise whoever bites and bites someone will be easily beaten when she goes out, and sooner or later something will happen, by the way, this is for you"
During the conversation, the third uncle took out a thick cowhide envelope and put it on the coffee table, "It's 10,000 yuan inside, I don't care about it." ”
"Don't!!"
Seeing this, Dad stuffed the envelope back to the third uncle, "Third brother, I can't ask for your money, you have helped a lot in the affairs of the family, I"
"For the kids!"
The third uncle accentuated his tone, "There's no need to call with me!" Dashan, both of your children have to go to school, and now you have a bank loan, and you use money for hospitalization, although I am not related to you, but why are they all Jingwei's masters, this, is a little bit of my thoughts
But there is one thing I have to be clear to you, and when I encounter something similar again, if, if, don't think I'm unlucky, don't look for any messy gentleman outside, just listen to Jingwei, her ability, the average fledgling gentleman can't compare, I can pack a ticket! Did you hear me! ”
“”
Dad nodded a little embarrassedly, "I know the third brother, that kind of thing will be remembered for a long time, where will there be a next time." ”
"Done! Then I'm leaving! ”
When Dad saw this, he was about to send it, and the third uncle waved his hand, "No need to send it, Dashan, you stay at home and coax Hongxia, don't think that the old husband and wife don't need to be adjusted, you have to adjust this life." Otherwise, what kind of strength are you still alive?"
"Third uncle, I'll send you!"
I went out with my schoolbag and my third uncle, and my father was left at home by the third uncle, comforting my mother who was still sobbing softly.
In the alley, it was dim and dark, only the snow was glowing white, and it would creak when stepped on.
The third uncle kept looking at me, wanting to speak and stopping, and after a while, he asked tentatively, "Girl, did your mother have wronged you in something ugly?" ”
"Nope."
I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled, the snow cotton is so good, it is cool, warms my feet, kicks the floating snow, and seems to be heartless and smiling, "Third uncle, I have a big heart, it's okay!" Besides, I'm a child, and I'm forgetful, and it's not normal for parents to scold me.
, I also raised my eyes and shouted at him twice, "Third uncle, where did you get your 10,000 yuan, you won't come back in the past few days, and you have gone to the park alone to go around in circles, and you have insisted on it for seven seven hundred and seventy-nine days." ”
"Go ahead!"
The third uncle sneered at me, "You haven't been in shape for a day!" ”
Wearing a cloth bag on the crossbody, the corners of the third uncle's lips were also pulled, and he was quiet all the way, and stopped when he walked to the mouth of the alley, "Girl, the third uncle loves you and your mother very much, and loves you very much."
I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't expect the third uncle to suddenly do this, and his head instinctively nodded, "Well, I know." ”
I didn't feel the same taste in my heart, and of course I believed that my mother loved me.
merely
This love is probably pitiful.
Or, she has nothing but hatred for me now.
I'm not good at hiding it, and if I can see the truth, I'll be desperate.
But with my mother, I really lost my true feelings and didn't see it.
From the first day I arrived in Harbin City, she conveyed to me the feeling that it was redundant and resistant!
Even if she smiled at me, it gave me a very polite feeling, I tried to get closer to my mother, but the sense of distance was still like a gully that I couldn't see, I couldn't get by, and she didn't stretch out her hand.
It seems that it can only be so far and not close, looking at each other, how to be intimate?
The third uncle didn't rush to take a taxi, as if he had been thinking about my heart, and after a while, he said ruthlessly, "Girl, there is something I will do with you, in fact, your mother really pays a lot for you, and your father loves you very, very much, do you know why there is Zhu Hao?" ”
“?”
I opened my mouth, "Let's raise children to prevent old age." ”
"Just Zhu Hao?"
The third uncle snorted, "Who can he give his old age?" I'm afraid he'll have a problem supporting himself in the future. ”
I lowered my eyes, "That's because of me, I was in poor health, aren't you afraid that I won't survive, Mom and Dad, it should be"
"It's because of you!"
The third uncle accentuated his tone, "But it's not that I'm afraid that you won't survive and no one will provide for them, but just so that you can survive, you have your younger brother!" ”
I didn't understand a little, so I listened to the third uncle continue-
"Jingwei, you have two fevers in three days, and you don't see it when you send it to Aunt Hei, the doctor is afraid that you will suffer from the disease called thalassemia, and Aunt Hei will have to have another one. Keep the umbilical cord blood and give you a rush! Your grandmother was anxious when she heard this, and Zhu Hao, who had it, was also strange, as soon as your brother came out, although you were still sick, but Aunt Hei would give you a good treatment with earthwork, at least, it wouldn't hurt your life, so that you can grow up, understand? ”
"I'm afraid I'm seriously ill, so my parents are right"
"You can do it if you understand it!"
The third uncle sighed, "Hongxia, I really paid a lot for this family, Uncle knows, you also have grievances, but this is your home, Aunt Hei, if you can't stay, go back, but I thought, even if you don't succeed, let's be a gentleman, what if you don't become a climate?" Go back and see you get seven whips, see you broken, who doesn't feel distressed? But then again, do you still want to go back to Mohe? ”
“”
I hesitated for a moment, and my family dragged it back, but now it's different, there is Lian Jun here.
Looking down at the snow cotton, I can't go back!
"Look, there's still something for you here!"
The third uncle seemed to understand me thoroughly, "Girl, it doesn't matter who you want to stay here for." Your parents are your important people, when your grandmother is alive, what you are most afraid of is that others are hard to overcome people, what she wants to see most is your family, happy do you know what your uncle means? ”
"Hmm."
I whispered, with complicated feelings, "Third uncle, you and the eldest grandmother let her rest assured that I will definitely be filial to my parents, they have paid so much for me, I will do my best to report it"
"Good!"
The third uncle sighed with some complicated emotion, not too much, turned around and stopped a taxi and left.
I went home with a full stomach, my mother should have been coaxed by my father, and was stir-frying in the kitchen, white smoke came out of the chimney, slightly warm, and the yard was cold for days.
Lifting my breath, I lifted my feet into the kitchen, and helped my mother peel the green onions, "Mom, if you need help, just follow me, I should learn to cook"
My mother squinted at me, her eyelids were still swollen, and she didn't answer the expressionless stir-fry.
"Okay?"
Dad came over to take a look when he heard the voice, and when he saw this, he showed a rare smile, "What, you have to learn to cook?" ”
"It's long overdue."
I pulled the corners of my lips and smiled, "By the way, Dad, our teacher, the school has a progress scholarship, as long as you can enter the top three in the class in this final exam, there will be a cash reward." The first place is five thousand, the second place is four thousand, and the third place is three thousand"
"yes, that's a good feeling!"
Dad glanced at my mother, who was still flipping the spatula, and watched me continue, "Then you work hard to get into the top three!" Our big girl is fine! ”
"Well, I'm definitely trying!"
My smiling face was a little stiff, and I didn't know if this range hood was in disrepair, and the smell of smoke was a little choking, "Dad, if I get into the top three, this scholarship will be doubled, and I will give it all to you when the time comes, and you just keep it for your aunt to pay the hospitalization fee." ”
"No, okay, you just need"
"The cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion."
Dad was chatting with me, Mom stir-fried the vegetables and threw out a sentence, I peeled the green onions, Dad didn't hear clearly at the door, and looked at Mom in a daze, "Hongxia, what are you?" ”
"Nothing."
Mom turned her eyes to me, "Okay, don't you want to learn how to cook, fry for you"
"Ah, okay."
I was patient and took my mother's spatula and stir-fried, and my movements were so stupid that I almost didn't turn the dish out!!
Mom wasn't in a hurry, just stood next to her, and commanded expressionlessly, "Half a spoonful of salt, yes, don't put MSG, your father doesn't like that taste, and it's not good for your body, you can put the green onion and serve it, and fry it for nothing."
"Hongxia, take your time!"
Dad was a little anxious when he saw that Mom really got me on it, "That thing can't be learned in a day!" ”
"Aren't I teaching slowly?"
Mom responded in a flat tone, and here she began to instruct me to brush the pot and prepare the next dish, "Don't cut the eggplant, break it and stew it to get better flavor, your dad doesn't like to eat the oil in the pot, don't hide, that little oil star bursts into the dead and stir-fry for a while and add water!" Hey, it's so stupid to flip it up and down gently, don't go left and right."
"Hongxia!!"
Daddy is going to stomp his feet, "you still "
"It's okay, it's okay!"
I panicked and had to grin at my dad and smile, "I just like to cook!" Mom, I'm going to train me to the chef! I won't be hungry in the future! Hehe, right. Mother! ”
“”
Mom didn't speak, her body was facing me, the corners of her mouth were very weird, and the cold look at me was uncomfortable for anyone to see!
I think she was angry
Good!
No problem!
I'm willing to take all the responsibility!
As long as she is comfortable, she is satisfied, she has passed that hurdle, everything, it is only a matter of time!
Well!
At least that's what I think!
However, there are many things that I really can't solve by wishful thinking.
I thought that if I tried hard to get along and please, my mother would not be a good person with me, at least she would return to the way she was polite to me at the beginning.
No.
She seems to have changed nothing with her father, and when she is reconciled, she is still the wife who loves her father so much that she can share his weal and woe.
For Zhu Hao, it hasn't changed, but for me.
Of course, she won't scold me, she won't accuse me of being a dead star, most of the time, she is numb and cold to my face, as long as she opens her mouth with me, it is bound to be housework and cooking
The work that can be seen at home, gradually, is up to me to do.
"Okay, I have a little back pain today, you go and brush the dishes after eating, and clean up the kitchen"
"Good!"
"Okay, your dad came back late tonight, just in time, you finished your homework and washed the work clothes he was wearing. The washing machine has broken down recently, you cast it several times, otherwise the laundry detergent will leave a mark, which is unsightly"
"Okay!"
"Okay, you happened to rest today, the stove is blocked again, you have nothing to do in the afternoon, I have to go grocery shopping, if I don't get through well, it will be cold at night."
"But I"
I don't think so, I still nodded vigorously, "Okay!" ”
That afternoon, I didn't know myself after the stove, and it was black enough to shame the Congolese brothers!
In front of the mirror, I still opened my mouth amusing myself, looking at a mouthful of teeth that were several degrees white, and I wanted to cry without tears!
Zhu Hao can't see that he will help me with his work, and my mother won't stop me, but I will taste it. If I do some work by myself, it will be finished when I finish it, as long as Zhu Hao intervenes, it will be no head!
You still have to sweep the floor after brushing the dishes, and you have to stack the dry firewood for the stove after sweeping, and if it's still early to finish the yard, then go and wipe out the kitchen smoker, that thing must be clean!
It's like I've turned on the gyro mode, and I want to give myself the nickname Bingga!
As long as the mother's soft-spoken whip is pulled, the sisters will have to turn around immediately!!
Until Zhu Hao couldn't bear it anymore and asked his mother directly if Zhou was on the skin!
"My sister caught up with the long-term maid, Mom, you're too much, right?"
His mother was still 'instructing' me how to deal with a live fish braised when he heard Zhu Hao's words, and looked at him when he heard Zhu Hao's words, "Why haven't I seen you feel so sorry for me before, if you don't want your sister to do it, then why don't you come?" Do you make dinner? ”
Zhu Hao choked. "Mom, where do I know how to cook, I think you"
"You go back to the house!"
I threw out four words to ask Zhu Hao to stop, in fact, it's nothing to do more work, just think that I am a combination of work and rest, just learn to use my brain, and I have to move my body!
Don't ha, after a period of exercise, the sisters' physique is greatly enhanced, you can go up the tree with your bare hands, you can decorate flowers with a single knife, and you can weld with water and electricity argon arc welding, as long as you open your mouth, I dare to talk about it!
As long as I exercise for a few days, I can make it all out of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner alone!
"What house am I going back to!!"
Zhu Hao held his breath, "Mom, how long has it been since the second aunt's affairs." A hundred days are going to pass, even if you have a fire, it should be extinguished, and besides, does the matter of the second aunt have anything to do with my sister, you are always"
"What's wrong with me?"
Mom motioned for me to clean up the fish scales, and looked at Zhu Hao with a face, "Your sister girl, I'm cultivating her self-care ability, if you don't know anything, you have to be angry when you go to your mother-in-law's house, if you are a girl, you have to learn these jobs, don't treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs for a day, I'm not for your sister"
It's over, my mother put her hands on her knees, got up and went back to the house to watch TV, and it was over. He lazily threw me a sentence, "Okay! When the fish is stewed, look at the fire and taste it!! ”
"Hey, Mom"
Zhu Hao's face was deflated, "Sister, why did my mother become something I don't know?"
I didn't answer, I'm still seriously dealing with this fish, and I have to go back to the house to study after I finish it, and I see that the final exam is coming, that's a big deal!
"Hey, sister"
Zhu Hao walked up to me and squatted down, "If I don't help you, you don't wear a glove here, your hands are all over."
"Don't mess around."
I motioned for him to look at his mother's house, "I don't want to go to the yard gate to sweep the snow and scatter coal ash or stack honeycomb coal after I finish the fish for a while." Your sister, I still have to hurry up and study! ”
Zhu Hao pursed the corners of his lips, knowing why I was like this, he didn't dare to move his hand, "Sister, or else, me and Dad?" ”
"What."
After I cleaned up the fish, I began to simply change the knife to marinate and taste it, and by the way, I cut the green onions, ginger and garlic, Zhu Hao followed me upside down, "My mother is too much, he can still control the point at home, as soon as he is not at home, his mother will instruct you to die, a little"
"To die?"
I laughed, this word is so big!
Mom is worried about Dad, Dad is at home, and I am dying that is, brushing the dishes and mopping the floor, which is in Dad's eyes, it is all normal work that a big girl can do.
If my father is not at home, and it happens to be in time for my school vacation, then I will basically be scrapped during the day, who would have thought that there are so many things that need you to work in such a house!
It's not summer, otherwise the glass would have to be wiped once a week!
Sometimes I'm tired, and I really wish my dad could rest for two days, and he wouldn't be so busy, so that I can rest.
Let's look back and think about it, forget it, that bit of life is drizzle in my son's eyes, who are the sisters?
The reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch is congenitally hard. Titanic!
Come on, I'm afraid of this?!!
"Zhu Hao, your words are serious, your sister and I am not alive and well, I have been practicing for the past two months, as long as you give me the ingredients, there will be no dishes that your sister and I can't make!" Ouch"
"Heart!!"
Zhu Hao looked at my finger cut by a kitchen knife and exclaimed, "It's been the first time!" The apprentices in the back kitchen are not as miserable as you. ”
I calmly washed my finger under the water, took out a band-aid from my pocket and wrapped it around my finger.
The knife edge is folded, and this band-aid has not been broken since learning to cook!
So this thing must be carried with you.
"No, I have to tell my dad, why do you?"
"Don't look for trouble."
After I finished dealing with my hands, I continued with my head bored, "Our family has finally regained calm these days, and Dad has a smile on his face now, so don't look unhappy." ”
"But"
"But what?"
I looked straight at Zhu Hao's eyebrows, and the corners of my lips tugged, "It's me, I want to learn to cook, and my mother also teaches me normally, and then, help my parents do some work, isn't it normal, otherwise, my mother will have to do it herself, or my father will do it, I share this, it's nothing." ”
After that, I turned my face and continued, during this time, I called the eldest grandmother and the third uncle, and the atmosphere at home was good, and my father could drink some wine at the dinner table!
The third uncle and grandmother were also very happy after hearing this, and they were relieved, isn't this what I want to see.
"Sister, then you are not wronged"
Zhu Hao suddenly asked, I poured cooking wine for a while, my eyes were suddenly sour, and the corners of my lips were still smiling, "What are you wronged, your sister and I are happy, hey, look at this fish, this cooking wine and its bath water, green onion and ginger are its bath towels, I scrub and brush, scrub and scrub Oh look back and it will take a hot bath for Zhu Shi to eat, scrub and scrub me."
"The wall, which separates us, the window, which connects us, we need a bigger window, but we don't want to get out of it."
Zhu Hao was determined, indifferent to my actions, turned around, and he went directly back to his room, "I want to be as relaxed as ashes in the transparent flames." ”
"Oops!"
I shouted to him in the kitchen, "Don't think about all that stuff!" ”
I did the work, and it was enough to choke him with depression!
After adjusting my emotions, I understand Zhu Hao's thoughts, but this is life, all I can do is to continue!
That night, when my father came back, he praised my craftsmanship, I pursed my lips and smiled, covering my cut fingers as much as possible, and obediently asked my father to eat more.
The lights in the house were bright, shining on the faces of a family of four with different expressions, and I suddenly felt a little in a trance, this is what I want to 'happy family?' ’
Where is the happiness?
To be alive is to speak, to be alive, it is a word, it is full of power in language, its power does not come from shouting, nor from attacking, but from enduring, to endure the responsibilities that life gives us, to endure the happiness and suffering, boredom and mediocrity that reality gives us.
Third uncle, I really tried my best to maintain the relationship with my mother, but why, I am getting more and more powerless to live.
