Chapter 15 Summer Vacation Home
On a summer afternoon, a scorching sun hangs in the blue sky. The fan on the bus was whistling, but it couldn't blow away people's sleepiness.
Muxia, who was sitting by the window, saw that his father was already asleep, presumably he went to water the ground last night, got up early in the morning, and waited for the car to hold a parent-teacher conference for himself, so he didn't rest.
The feeling of anticipation and fear of summer vacation life lingered in Muxia's heart, making her a little restless.
The car is driving on the asphalt road in the countryside, and the sea of flowers outside the window is particularly eye-catching in the midday sun.
I saw in the distance, the yellow sunflowers, under the illumination of the sun, even more brilliant. They face the direction of the sun, blooming and growing, and their leisurely posture makes Mucha want to be in it.
She imagined that if she was a sunflower, basking in the sun, blowing the breeze, and drinking dew, it would really be a race against the gods.
"Master, someone got out of the car." A call disturbed Mucha's beautiful imagination.
"Dad, we're almost home." Mucha shook her father's arm, which was still asleep.
Mu He, who hadn't woken up yet, rubbed his face and woke himself up, "It's here so soon, then you carry your schoolbag well, and I'll take the rest." ”
Li Xiangxiang, who was eating under the courtyard porch, saw the father and daughter carrying things into the gate, "You guys are back, have you eaten at noon?" ”
"Mom, it's three o'clock in the afternoon, why are you eating?" Looking at Li Xiangxiang's face, which didn't look like she was angry, Mucha put down her schoolbag and asked.
He also said that when he came back from harvesting wheat at noon, and was just about to make dinner, they called for him to go and water the corn field, and the meal was now over. Do you eat or not? Li Xiangxiang put down the bowl in her hand and was about to cook noodles for Muxia and them.
Mucha took Li Xiangxiang's arm and asked her to sit down, "Mom, Mom, you eat quickly, I took my dad to eat in the school cafeteria at noon, today the school held a parent-teacher conference, and the canteen gave a very large amount, and my dad ate it." ”
After not seeing the eldest sister and younger brother come out for a long time, Mucha asked, "Mom, where are my eldest sisters?" ”
"Your sister and her classmates went to school, saying that they were going to see if the notice had come, and your brother didn't know where to go."
Seeing that her mother was finishing eating and was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Mucha hurriedly took it, "Mom, you go to the rest meeting, I'll wash the pot." ”
At this time, Mu He, who went to the backyard to feed the livestock, also returned.
Mucha, who was wiping the table in the hallway, saw his father carrying some of the things they had bought and entered the room where they were resting.
After wiping the table, Mucha was just about to wash the pot when he heard the sound of his parents arguing.
When she was thinking about whether to persuade her to fight, Li Xiangxiang pulled her shoes and went into the kitchen, without saying a word, she took off her shoes and slapped Muxia's buttocks.
"Do you know what's wrong?"
Mucha was stunned, he would have done nothing wrong, "I did something wrong, you beat me." ”
"Your dad told me everything, and you still don't admit it." Li Xiangxiang picked up her shoes again.
"Dad, what did you say to my mother, my mother beat me up without saying a word." Rubbing her ass, Mucha ran to her parents' room.
"What else can you say, didn't you beg me to let me help you?" Mu He, who was about to lie down, sat up.
Muchadon felt bad, "You told my mother so quickly, I wasn't ready to speak." ”
"Say it early, solve it early, what to prepare, and speak with results." Mu He smiled and pointed out a clear way for Muxia.
Helpless, Mucha stomped her foot, took out the report card from the schoolbag on the sofa, and walked towards the kitchen.
"Mom, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't think about how to tell you." Mucha explained her procrastination, "This is my final exam transcript, you see, our teacher said that I did better in liberal arts than in science, and besides, I also prefer liberal arts." ”
Looking at the report card, Li Xiangxiang still insisted on her thoughts, "Can you eat it if you like it?" People say that after graduating from college, science students are more likely to find jobs than liberal arts students. When school starts, you go to the teacher and tell you that you want to study science. ”
Mucha asked angrily, "But how can the eldest sister study liberal arts?" ”
"Can you compare to your eldest sister?" Li Xiangxiang blurted out the words, which made Mucha stunned in place.
She has always felt that her mother is just a bit patriarchal, which is also normal, because in their rural area, every family is like this.
Mucha didn't expect that her mother just despised her.
Thinking about raising and not raising around you from an early age has an impact not only on the child, but also on the mother.
When the child grows up, he will not be close to his mother, and the mother will not pay attention to the child who has not been by her side since childhood.
Even if this child tries to please her, it is not as good as the child who has always been by his side.
Mucha came to the stove and washed the pot in silence, a tear falling into the water, making a small splash.
Li Xiangxiang, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the report card in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.
Mu He, who was lying in the house, heard that the kitchen was silent, and felt that something was wrong, so he came over to take a look.
"you, don't be angry, since she wants to study liberal arts, let her study it. The teacher also told me that Xiao Xia is more sure of being admitted to a good university than studying science. ”
Hearing this, Mucha also wiped a handful of tears and turned around, "Mom, I know that you are for my good, thinking that after I graduate from science university, I can find a good job." But, Mom, have you thought about it? With my current science grades, what university can I get into? ”
Li Xiangxiang, who picked up the report card again, looked at the science grades that did not have a passing grade on it, and said hesitantly, "It's only the end of the first year of high school now, you read more books during the holidays, isn't there still a second year of high school and a third year of high school?" ”
"Mom, I want to too, I have a heart that wants to study science, anyway, what is not learning, but I don't have the brain to study science." Mucha cried as she spoke.
Seeing that neither mother nor daughter would give in to each other, and they couldn't convince each other, Mu He had no choice but to say to Xi Ni: "Let's not talk about it first, Xiao Xia, you go to change your clothes and go to the field to cut wheat with us." ”
Wearing a straw hat and sitting on a tractor, the painful scene of being forced to do farm work by her parents in her previous life seems to be vivid in her mind.
And now that he is doing farm work again, Mucha is not so repulsed.
Before she was reborn, she had never done farm work since she worked, first, she had no time to come back, and secondly, after work, most of the family's land was rented out, and the only few acres of land left, her parents did it easily, and there was nothing for her to do.
And now, except for being a little afraid of heat, there is nothing for Mucha to suffer.
After all, farm work is also a kind of work, and it can also exercise the body.
Thinking that many people spend money and time to go to the gym to exercise, she can now work and exercise without spending money, which is really making a lot of money.
Today is another day of working harder than others.
hummed a plausible tune in his mouth, "I want to be healthy, I want to be beautiful and thin, oh, I don't want to be thin, I'm a skinny monkey now, and it's ugly to be skinny." Mucha began a busy life of harvesting summer with his family during the day and studying alone at night.
Just "I want to be healthy, I want to be white and beautiful, I want to have long legs, don't worship meat, I make money again." Under the brainwashing of such a magic sound, after more than half a month, Mucha ended his summer harvest life.
At the end of the summer harvest, the Mucha sisters slept beautifully.
After getting up, Mucha stood in front of the mirror and watched as his short haircut turned into a chicken nest.
In addition, in the summer harvest of this half month, although she tried her best to protect herself from the sun, she was still tanned by the little black girl.
From a distance, Mucha looked like charred wood with some grass growing on it.
"Sister, why are you still so white, you haven't tanned, let's stand together, it's yin and yang gossip, this contrast is too obvious." Mucha looked at her eldest sister Mu Ling enviously.
Mu Ling was amused and laughed, "This is genetic, I can't help it, you see that my mother has been working all the time, and it hasn't turned black." ”
The days entered the middle of August unhurriedly, and Li Xiangxiang, who was finally free, steamed steamed buns at home, "Okay, hurry up and clean up, it's almost noon, we still have to go to your grandmother's house, Muxia, you go to Sun's house to call your brother, Lingling go and take your admission letter, and after you go to your grandmother's house, let your grandmother also take a look." ”
Hearing her mother call her eldest sister and her, there are other names for intimacy, Mucha walked out of the house with a calm expression.
In her previous life, in order to get more love from her mother, she always worked hard to express herself, rushed to wash the pot and cook when she got home, and endured to do farm work when she was not feeling well.
I always thought about how to please my mother, thinking that I would work more and that my mother would be more relaxed, so my mother asked my sister to rest, and she did what her sister was doing.
Now Mucha has also figured it out, why force others to love her, why worry about how much others love her, this is someone else's will, and she can't change it.
What she can change is that she loves herself more, cherishes herself, and is strong and fearless.
As soon as he walked into the outer courtyard of his uncle's house, Mucha shouted, "Grandma, we have come to see you."
"Yo, it's the eldest sister's family, this big bag and small bag, I don't know and think we don't care about the elderly, besides, you take so much, the child and his grandmother can't eat it all, it's better for me to share some with them." Zhao Xiu, the short and fat little aunt, put down the watermelon in her hand and walked over to take the things in Mu Jin's hand.
Mu Jin turned around, avoided the hand stretched out by her little aunt, and ran into the inner courtyard where her grandmother lived.
Zhao Xiu, who loves to be cheap, muttered a little in her mouth, she also knew that Mu Jin was clever, and it was impossible to take things from him.
Seeing that no one had come out of the house, she simply blocked the door of the inner courtyard, blocking the group in the courtyard, and finally stopped her eyes on Muxia.
Since she Zhao Xiu got married, nothing else has grown, but her ability to cook has improved a lot, she knows that this girl who grew up next to her parents-in-law since she was a child is best bullied, and she will not sue if she is bullied.
"Xiao Xia, come to your grandma's place for the summer vacation again, come, my little aunt will help you get the things, every time I come, I take so much, your grandma can't finish eating, it's all broken, it's better to let me eat it." Zhao Xiu said shamelessly while eating melons.
Seeing that Zhao Xiu, who was full of watermelons, sprayed watermelon water everywhere, Mucha hurriedly took a few steps back, "Little aunt, don't bother you, I'm worried that I'll eat you, and I want us to take you to the hospital." ”
"Besides, our family's things, how much my parents want to get for my grandparents is also their business, and you are not a person who lives by the sea."
Zhao Xiu casually threw down the watermelon peel in his hand, "You girl, I haven't seen you for half a year, why is your mouth so powerful, if I live by the sea, won't your grandmother also live by the sea with us." ”
"Zhao Xiu, what are you doing there?" A scolding came from behind the little aunt.
