Chapter 20 You are not thieves
In the old house, there was a white-haired old man, and three children, two men and one girl, about eleven or twelve years old.
The white-haired old man and the three children had some characteristics in common: their clothes, dirty and tattered; Their bodies were scrawny; Their complexion is as dark as carbon.
The tallest of the three children, the boy, was urinating in the corner of the wall.
Liang Yuwei and Liang Fanglian, like a pair of mother and daughter who were guests, walked into the house that belonged to them with the "permission" of the long-haired youth.
The scene of the boy peeing happened to reflect Liang Yuwei's eyes.
A cold, sharp arrow shot from the frame of her eyes towards the long-haired youth, "Who are you in your family!! ”
She was angry not because the boy urinated everywhere, but because the place where the boy urinated happened to be the little childhood world where she planted flowers and plants when she was young.
Deep in everyone's heart, there is a feeling for childhood, Liang Yuwei is no exception, in her opinion, her most beloved little world was ravaged, which is far worse than strangers living in her home itself.
She hates him!
The long-haired young man realized the seriousness of the problem from Liang Yuwei's cold eyes, so he picked up a stone the size of an egg and threw it at the boy's buttocks, "Gao Xiaotong, I told you, go to the toilet to urinate and urinate, and you are not allowed to pee outside!" Pee next time, I'll break your legs! ”
The man's technique was a bit quick and ruthless, and the stone hit him in the ass with a single blow.
The peeing boy cried and lifted his pants and ran into the house.
The long-haired man's actions shocked Liang Yu slightly, she wanted him to explain, and she didn't let him beat the child roughly!
What is he doing here?
Is it to give yourself an explanation? Or is it rough in nature?
Liang Yu glanced at him coldly, his face full of disgust.
The other two children, who were playing, could not stand the fierce eyes and roars of the long-haired youth, and ran into the house in the same fear.
The white-haired old man complained a little about the rudeness of the long-haired young man, and pointed to the long-haired young man and scolded a few words.
Liang Yuwei took a closer look, only to find that this white-haired woman with vicissitudes of life was not an old man, but a middle-aged woman, about the same age as her mother.
The white-haired woman was with a foreign accent, and Liang Yuwei and Liang Fanglian didn't understand what she was scolding.
"Mom, the boy is thirteen years old, and he is not sensible, I have to beat him up."
The long-haired young man said with a dark face as if he didn't see Liang Yuwei and Liang Fanglian.
"What did you say?"
The white-haired middle-aged woman asked again.
The long-haired young man was helpless, and walked in and whispered in her ear.
Liang Yu looked at this woman who was similar in age to her mother Liang Fanglian, but her hair was all white, and she was a little congested.
She could see that this person, who should be called aunt in terms of age, was not very good hearing, and was a little behind the ear.
Liang Fanglian held her daughter's hand, and she also didn't know what to say.
These things happened too suddenly, too unexpectedly, too bizarrely, and neither of them could relax yet!
"Sanmao, who are this girl and this lady?"
The white-haired mother asked the young man.
Her speech had a local accent, and Liang Yuwei and Liang Fanglian listened to it for a long time before they could barely hear the general meaning.
The young man came up to her ear and replied to the white-haired mother in the same local accent, "They are the owners of this house. ”
The white-haired mother understood the long-haired young man's words and nodded understandingly.
Liang Yuwei didn't want them to sing and harmonize in his own house, so he asked a question that cut straight to the point, "What's your name?" ”
"I, Zhao Tianyi, nicknamed Sanmao!"
"Got it!"
Liang Yu nodded expressionlessly.
She felt that the second half of the sentence of this long-haired young man was nonsense, she just needed to know that his name was Zhao Tianyi, and it didn't matter if the nickname was Sanmao or Simao.
"Yuwei, what should we do?"
Liang Fanglian rarely hesitated, and asked Liang Yuwei softly.
Liang Yuwei knew that her mother was a kind person, and she must have been shocked by their poverty, so out of pity, she began to struggle with whether to call the police.
She thought for a moment and said, "Wait and see!" ”
……
"Son, they're landlords, what do you mean by being here?"
"Mom, they pass by occasionally and find people in this house, and treat us as uninvited guests."
"Not a guest? Son, I'm not highly educated, so you can tell me about it briefly. ”
"Mom, we are thieves, thieves who break into other people's homes!"
Zhao Tian was also afraid that his mother wouldn't hear it, so he explained loudly!
Liang Yu, who was a "thief" who kept talking, was a little congested, if it weren't for her mother beside her, she would definitely have to smoke a cigarette to relieve her suppressed emotions.
"You're not thieves!"
Liang Yu turned her back slightly and said lightly, she didn't want their mother and son to see the redness of her eyes.
Zhao Tianyi's mother understood what her son meant, slowly stood up, and walked in front of Liang Yuwei and Liang Fanglian's mother and daughter, her white lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to speak and stopped.
Liang Yu glanced at her mother, she didn't know what this short white-haired aunt was going to do.
"Eldest sister, you are..."
Liang Fanglian felt sorry for this woman of the same age who was not big and her sideburns were as white as snow, and asked politely.
The white-haired woman didn't speak, but suddenly her knees bent, she fell to her knees, and kowtowed to them.
"Sister, don't do this!"
"Auntie... What are you doing here? ”
Liang Yuwei and Liang Fanglian hurriedly helped her up.
"I'm incompetent, I'm causing you trouble! Woooooo
The white-haired woman apologized and wept bitterly.
"Auntie, get up, you have something to say!"
"Eldest sister, don't you want this?"
Liang Fanglian helped the white-haired woman up hard, and said with tears in her eyes.
The white-haired woman used a dialect that Liang Fanglian's mother and daughter couldn't understand, and said to Zhao Tianyi, "Sanmao, you also kneel!" ”
Zhao Tianyi nodded with red eyes, faced Liang Yuwei, and knelt on one knee, "Please give me a week, let's move out as soon as possible!" I don't have the money to pay the rent, so I'm on one knee today! If you don't think that's enough, I'll kowtow to my knees!! ”
Liang Yuwei also knelt on one knee and showed respect for him, "The man has gold under his knees, you get up!" You get up! You get up! ”
Say the important thing three times!
Both stood up.
"You wait... My mom and I went into the house to discuss! ”
Liang Yuwei held back the tears in his eyes, took his mother's hand and walked into the house where he had grown up.
The scene just now was so heart-wrenching, she didn't want to experience it again!
On the snow-white wall inside, there are still twelve awards from Liang Yu's elementary school period, all of which are "three good students"!
"Weiwei, this family is so pitiful..."
Liang Fanglian wiped her tears with a tissue and said to Liang Yuwei.
Liang Yu looked at his "three good students" award on the wall, and said in a low voice, "Mom, I understand what you mean..."
Two men and a woman, and three boys, walked past them and continued to play a game of hide and seek.
The disputes between adults outside seemed to have nothing to do with them.
Their eyes are only innocent.
Their world is all about play.
In their hearts, there is only joy.
Liang Yu slightly stroked the head of the little girl with pigtails who passed by her, the appearance of this little girl was exactly her twenty years ago.
The little girl's patched clothes and the mud on her young face made her sad to see, and she had to admit that even more than twenty years ago, their Locke family was much happier than the family in the new century today.
"Sister, would you like to eat candy?"
The girl looked up at Liang Yuwei and handed her a little white rabbit candy.
Liang Yu touched the girl's head slightly, "Who are you from that man outside?" ”
The girl replied, "It's my Sanmao brother!" My mom and dad don't know where to go! Brother Sanmao said that he would raise me for a lifetime! ”
Liang Yuwei: "What about the two boys?" ”
Little girl: "It's also my good friend, we don't have the same parents, but we both have a Sanmao brother!" ”
Liang Yu was slightly silent, looking at the steps leading to the second floor, and she sketched such a picture in her mind: a man who depended on his mother for his life, came to East China from the north in order to survive, and wanted to make money to survive; For the sake of benevolence and righteousness, he adopted three orphans in the same village who had no parents and shouldered the burden of being overwhelmed; For the sake of filial piety, he brought his white-haired mother and let her see the beautiful scenery of the city.
What kind of man is this?
Penniless, poor man! A man full of blood and benevolence! Mother first, filial man!
After some deep thought, Liang Yuwei answered the question of what his mother did just now, "Mom... Before we demolish it, let them live in this house! ”
"Daughter, I know you're cold on the outside and hot on the inside! Mom thinks the same thing, don't tell your dad about this. ”
"Hmm!"
After reviewing his past in the old house, Liang Yu quietly took out a thousand yuan in cash from his bag and put it on the dinner table they used to use, and then left the old house with inexplicable melancholy.
"Zhao Tian is the same, you live in this house, and you won't be charged for rent. This place is about to be demolished, and you won't be able to live for long! You have the ability to be in this city, take root, bring hope to aunties, and children! ”
Zhao Tianyi said expressionlessly, "Thank you, I will definitely do something in this city to show you, your great kindness, we will remember it!" ”
Liang Yu nodded slightly, "I hope so, this house will be guarded by you for us!" Here we go! ”
Zhao Tianye saw that the landlord was leaving, he was a little reluctant, thought for a few seconds, looked at Liang Yu and said, "You are all good people, good people have a safe life!" I thank you with my singing, this is the only way I can repay you today! ”
"No need, we're leaving!"
Liang Yu held his mother's hand slightly and disappeared into the dim alley.
A "Wandering Song" came out of her old house:
The wanderers miss you out there
Dear Mom
Wandering footsteps go all over the world
There is no home
The winter wind is carrying snowflakes
Blow my tears down
The wanderers miss you out there
Dear Mom
Wandering footsteps go all over the world
There is no home
The winter wind blew my tears down with snowflakes
Walk, walk, walk, walk
How many years have passed
Spring grass is sprouting
It's spring and summer again
……
The twenty-five-meter-long alley is filled with landlords returning to their old homes at one end and tenants coming to their new homes at the other.
The landlord received the strange tenant with kindness, and the tenant sent the benevolent landlord away with singing.
The landlord didn't know that this wandering song was sung by Zhao Tianyi and his three children on one knee.
The tenants didn't know that the moment the landlord heard the song, their eyes were already filled with tears.
