Chapter 709: Powerless

My mom is really old, her waist is more curved than the last time I saw her, her whole person doesn't look as energetic as before, and her hair is almost completely white.

My mom was twenty-seven years old when she gave birth to me, so I'm Chinese New Year's Eve one today, and my mom is fifty-eight years old.

Coupled with the perennial farming in the countryside and the hard work of most of her life, she looks like a person in her sixties.

At that moment, I saw the meat in my mother's hand, and my nose began to sour.

Over the years, I have only cared about working hard outside, but neglected my mother's body.

She's getting worse every day, maybe I'll see her less and less, and this time I'm going to take my mom with me anyway and not leave her alone at home.

I hurriedly walked up to my mother, took the shopping bag in her hand, and said, "Mom, why are you still going to the town to buy meat, you should tell me, I have to pass through the town anyway." ”

My mother smiled and said to me, "It's useless to tell you, you don't know the meat seller, and they will give you bad meat." ”

My mom was always like this, I was always a child in her eyes, he thought I couldn't handle anything, and I followed her.

With her, no matter how old I am, I'm a child, and I think that's good.

My mother only noticed the summer at this time, so she asked me again, "Xiaofeng, who is this girl?" ”

"Mom, this is a friend of mine, her name is Xia, and she came from Yunnan."

After a slight pause, I added, "It's a coincidence that the dog I picked up turned out to be lost in the summer, so I brought her to make sure." ”

My mother was also a little surprised, and said hurriedly; "Then go and sit in the house, and the girl will sit in the house."

As she spoke, my mother hurriedly took out the key and walked to the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I called out to Summer, and she came into the house with Didiu.

My mom hurriedly got a stool and a few oranges for the summer.

My mother is so enthusiastic, remembering that when I brought Sun Xiaoxiao back during the Spring Festival, my mother was not so enthusiastic.

Maybe at that time, my mother felt that Sun Xiaoxiao was not a good person, and I have to say that my mother was quite accurate in seeing people, even when I married Xiao Wei, she told me several times and asked me to think about it.

I really didn't think about it, but I also have to thank Xiao Wei, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet An Lan.

In the face of my mother's enthusiasm, Summer can only smile vigorously.

My mother seems to think something strange, just now the yard came to the house, and I didn't hear a word from Summer.

So I explained to my mom, "Mom, she can't speak in the summer, but she can hear." ”

My mom then understood, and after we talked for a while, my mom was ready to go get some food.

I stopped my mom and said, "Mom, just rest, I'll get it." ”

"Firewood burner, don't stain your clothes."

"It's dirty, it's not a big deal, Mom, you can rest."

My mom followed up with me and said she could help me, but I couldn't help her.

As we did and chatted, my mother asked me, "Xiaofeng, has Lan Lan been very busy lately?" The day before yesterday she called me and said she was abroad and would not be back in a few days. ”

"Well, she went abroad."

My mother sighed again and said, "Why is she a girl with so many things, can you help?" ”

"I ......," I paused before saying, "Mom, I really don't understand what she does." ”

"But it's hard for that child, and I don't know when she'll be able to handle those things."

"Soon, we're going to have to trust her."

After speaking, I stopped again and said, "By the way, Mom, you can come with me tomorrow." ”

"Where are I going with you?"

"Chengdu."

"I'm not going."

"If you don't go, you have to go, I don't feel at ease to leave you alone at home now."

My mother still insisted and said, "I've been alone for so long, what's not to worry about?" ”

"Look at your body, it's getting worse day by day, where do I dare to leave you alone at home?"

"I said I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm eating and sleeping well now, and I'm looking forward to when I can hold my eldest grandson, and then you can let me go anywhere."

"Hey...... Mom, aren't you raising the bar? ”

"I'm telling the truth, why do you say I'm going to Chengdu with you? Do you have a home over there? ”

I suddenly couldn't answer, it is true that I still live with Ye Shanshan.

After a moment of silence, I said, "If you go, I'll rent a bigger house." ”

"The rented house is always someone else's, or I am used to living in this old house, and my neighbors are familiar with it, so I won't go with you."

This reminds me that I also persuaded my mother to go to live in the city with me, but she didn't want to do it anyway, and in the end I had to spend some money to renovate my old house.

But at that time, she was not old, and I could rest assured, and now I am really not at ease.

In my silence, my mother said to me again: "Xiaofeng, my mother knows that you are very filial, but you have no fixed place to live now, you let me go with you, I might as well live comfortably at home...... If, one day you and Lan Lan get married, and you let me go again, I will definitely go. ”

I know I can't persuade my mother, and she is right, I have no fixed place to live now, and it will be hard for her to go with me.

All of a sudden, I felt like a failure, in my thirties, unmarried, and without a house.

At that moment, I hated myself in my heart, hated myself for being powerless.

At the same time, it also gave me a warning, I have to work harder in the future, try to make Anlan not so tired, try to let my mother enjoy her old age in peace, and strive to buy a big house, so that the family can be happy.

I really want to have that kind of life, and I don't want to watch other people's lights to fulfill my loneliness like I do now.

After a long silence, I finally said to my mother, "Okay, after I buy a house, after I get married to An Lan, you must move in with us." ”

"Well, I wish I would."

"By the way, Mom, I heard An Lan say that when you cleaned the room where Liang Jing lived, you found a letter, is it true?"

My mother nodded and asked me again, "Where did Liang Jing's child go?" Why hasn't she heard from her for so long. ”

"She ......," I said after a moment of silence, "she went back to her own house. ”

"Oh, where is her house?"

"A small county town in Hunan."

My mother nodded, and said with a sigh: "This girl is very good, when she was in our house, once she saw me doing something, she rushed to do it." ”

The more my mother said this, the more uncomfortable I felt in my heart, and I couldn't accept the fact that Liang Jing left, I really couldn't accept it.

In my silence, my mom left the kitchen, and after a while she returned to the kitchen with an envelope.

"That's what I found under her pillow when I was cleaning her room that day."

I took the envelope, it was light, but it felt heavy.

The envelope had the words "To Chen Feng" written on it, and I hope she can explain it to me in this letter.

I held my breath and opened the envelope.
