Chapter 12 Mother and daughter break off on a snowy night
The small old town in February has not yet had a trace of warmth. Heavy snow fell in the sky, which caught people off guard. The snow fell from the afternoon to late at night, and there was no sign of stopping. The snowflakes danced, and the sound of the wind was racing for a while, cold and eroded into the heart.
The snow on the ground was getting thicker, and a few dogs barking could be heard in the rows of deep alleys. Then there was a complete silence.
A hysterical voice suddenly broke the silence, and it was especially harsh in the snowy night.
"Fuck you! Is my daughter to stay with him? Why are you so cheap? So it's not worth the money? I don't want anything, so why should I marry you off? ”
Hu Nana held her breath. She said: "Brother Yan's family is in trouble now, and you know about his family's affairs. ”
"Oh, if something happens at home, you want to marry a wife for nothing? What kind of daydream did he Luo Yan have! According to this reason, there are many poor people in the world, you go to sleep with them one by one, and I will go to the Dragon King Temple for you to burn incense for you to rank as a Bodhisattva! ”
"Mom, what are you talking about? It was my decision not to pay a bride price. It's not that Brother Yan won't give it. Besides, if you want his money, you don't want to gamble? It was all his dad's life-saving money. Are you so at ease with it? ”
"I just burned it, that's also my business, my hard-working daughter can't just enter their Luo family for nothing. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and I can make sense everywhere I go. Without 100,000 yuan, he Luo Yan would not want to take half a step into this courtyard. The woman hated the scene when she thought of Luo Yan choking her neck. These words were squeezed out of his teeth.
"You." Hu Nana's tears suddenly flowed again. "Mom, I beg you, do you want me to die? In this life, I will not marry a second man except Luo Yan. He is in trouble at home, and I don't want to burden him anymore. We will honor you in the future. ”
The woman sneered: "Honor me? Strangle me! Look at your cheap appearance, is he not married? Is he the only man in the world? Get out of here! ”
The woman pointed to the door, and when she saw that Hu Nana was still stunned, she went up and slapped her again.
Hu Nana couldn't dodge it, and was hit by this slap. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
She said viciously: "It's good to have a mother like you, someone wants me to be good, what more do you want!" ”
"You think I'm disgraced to you, don't you? You're disgusted with the money I'm making, aren't you? If it weren't for the money, you would have starved to death. ”
"Yes, it's disgusting, don't you feel disgusting yourself? Because you and I never looked up, do you know which man made you pregnant? ”
Syllable!
Another slap was thrown on Hu Nana's face, and this time the woman was ruthless, and Hu Nana's face immediately had several clear fingerprints.
"Get out! Get out of this house. ”
"Okay, I'll get out. I'll get out now! From today on, I don't have you as a mother. After Hu Nana finished speaking, she slammed the door and entered the back room.
The woman heard the crackling sound in the back room, and she knew that her daughter was packing her things.
The woman cursed at the door. A cigarette was lit. After taking two big breaths, I felt the anger in my heart calm down a little.
"He never asked me about it. Can they marry if they want? ”
Seeing that there was no reply in the room, the woman took another puff of her cigarette.
"I'm telling you, you. Sell yourself cheaply from the beginning, and you will only be bullied in the future! If a woman herself is cheap, she can only be pressed under her body and trampled under her feet by a man. ”
The door was pushed open by Hu Nana and slammed against the wall. After a loud bang, Hu Nana walked out. She was already wearing her down jacket and holding a large box in her hand.
The woman snuffed out the cigarette butt with two fingers, and her eyes became more and more fierce, "If you leave, you won't come back in this life." ”
Hu Nana is like a walking corpse, without any emotion on her face and without saying a word. Just staring at the woman. Her hand holding the box turned white from too much force. She stared at it for half a minute, then turned and pushed the door open and stepped into the snowy night.
The snow outside was too thick for the box to be pulled, so it could only be carried in the hand, leaving two long footprints, one deep and one shallow, in the snow.
The woman did not chase out, she heard the sound of the gate in the courtyard being thrown open, slammed the cigarette butt in her hand on the ground, rushed to the door of the house, and could no longer see her daughter. She stared at a row of footprints in the courtyard before two lines of tears flowed from her eyes.
Hu Nana made a creaking sound every step on the snow, and when she walked through the deep alley, her vision immediately widened, and her heart suddenly felt a little lighter. It seems that her feet have been wearing a thick chain all along. And now the heavy chains are completely broken.
Hu Nana put down the box, raised her head and opened her arms to face the falling snow flying in the sky, and the snowflakes melted instantly when they fell on her face. The cold sensation made her more sober.
As if inertia had been formed, she unconsciously walked into the lotus garden and walked to the lotus lake. At this time, the lotus lake has completely turned white, and the faint light of the street lamps in the distance makes the lake surface a smooth mirror.
Hu Nana walked in. The ice was slippery, and she only took a few steps before falling on the ice, but she didn't feel any pain, and there was snow on the ice, which naturally served as a buffer.
She laughed at her comical fall, and the laughter spiraled out of control.
She began to roll on the ice. Circle after circle, long traces were left on the ice. One moment she rolls out of the serpentine shape, the other out of the circle. It took more than ten minutes to walk out of the lotus lake.
She patted the snow on her body as she pulled her phone out of the pocket of her down jacket.
After dialing, a voice came from the other end of the phone. "Nana, why haven't you slept yet. I fell asleep. ”
Hu Nana said, "Brother Qi, I'm in Lianhu. ”
"Huh?" Luo Yan brought the mobile phone to his eyes and saw that the time showed that it was already two o'clock in the evening.
"You! How did you get to Lianhu so late? She, she hit you again? After Luo Yan finished speaking, he immediately remembered that it had snowed for a day today. You wait for me, don't walk around. ”
Luo Yan put the phone between his head and began to get dressed. A few minutes later, he had already rushed out the door. It is not possible to have a taxi at this time. His own car was also sold to pay off his debts. He could only run, all the way to the wild......
Early the next morning, Luo Qian was woken up by the rustling sound in the courtyard. He slumberfully opened the curtains. What you see is a white world.
The sound was made by Jia Hua while clearing the snow in the courtyard. Luo Qian shouted through the window: "Mom, I'll sweep it." ”
Snow clearing is a manual job, Luo Qian, as an adult man in the family, naturally can't let his mother do this, and he is also very interested in snow clearing. Ever since he was a child, he has loved snow.
Luo Yan slept in the Westinghouse. Before leaving the yard, Luo Qian went over and kicked his door first.
"Why don't you get up early in the morning to clear the snow and let your mother go?"
After kicking twice and there was no response, Luo Qian went to twist the handle, but today Luo Qian's door was locked.
"You big man still lock the door when you sleep?"
Inside the house, Luo Yan scolded, "Get out of the way." ”
"Come out and clear the snow! Believe it or not, I'll go in and lift your quilt. ”
"Don't, don't, I'll get out right away!"
Luo Qianqi was victorious, and he couldn't help but be in a good mood. Walking out of the yard and smelling the air after the snowfall, he felt even more refreshed. All the gloom in my heart for the past two days seems to have been buried deep in the ground by a snow.
"Mom, I'll do it!"
Luo Qian took the broom in Jia Hua's hand and was about to start. Luo Yan also walked out of the Westroom.
"You go get a shovel." Luo Qian scolded angrily: "Let Mom sweep the snow, you ......"
Before he could finish his words, he was stunned. Because he saw a girl with short hair standing timidly behind Luo Yan.
"Huh? Sister Nana......"
Even more surprised than Luo Qian was Jia Hua. Jia Hua was also stunned. I was speechless for a while.
"Hello Auntie." Hu Nana greeted Jia Hua dryly, and then smiled at Luo Qiangan.
Luo Yan introduced: "Mom, this is Nana. ”
"Ah, hmm......" Jia Hua finally organized a sentence after a few words, "Then, then you go back to the house, it's cold outside, the old man ......"
The work of sweeping the yard finally fell to Luo Qian, but today he didn't have the heart to enjoy the snow, and glanced inside the house from time to time.
He didn't want to go back to the house. I felt that the scene inside the house was embarrassing. He was also worried that he would make a mistake and say the wrong thing. Luo Yan didn't tell him about this matter in advance, and he didn't collude to confess, so he didn't dare to explain it casually.
"Is he crazy? What is this for? Luo Qian muttered.
Before he knew it, Luo Qian had already cleared a clean path in the yard. But Luo Yan never came out to explain something to him alone. So Luo Qian had to stay in the courtyard for a while.
Luo Qian had already seen this "sister-in-law" when he was in elementary school. Hu Nana would often pick him up from school with Luo Yan. I often buy him snacks and extracurricular books. So the relationship between Luo Qian and Hu Nana has always been very good. When he was in junior high school, Luo Qian learned about Hu Nana's life experience from his classmates.
And Luo Qian, who was at that age, could also use his own view of right and wrong to separate Hu Nana from that woman.
He believes that "10,000 people ride" is "10,000 people ride". Hu Nana is Hu Nana. If there is a classmate who connects him with "Ten Thousand Riders" because Luo Yan is his brother, Hu Nana is Luo Yan's girlfriend, and "Ten Thousand Riders" is Hu Nana's mother, it will only be a fist from him.
Now he thinks deeper, he understands that no matter what kind of person Hu Nana is, he will never be able to get rid of the identity of his daughter who is "ten thousand riders". Only this makes the marriage of my brother and Hu Nana impossible!
Luo Yan finally walked out of the house.
Luo Qian was looking for two stones of similar size, and made eyes for his newly stacked snowman.
"The big artist is doing sculpture?"
Luo Qian carefully pinched the snowman's mouth and asked, "What do you think?" Bring Sister Nana back in the middle of the night? Is this appropriate? ”
"What's wrong, Mom has agreed to our marriage."
"Mom can agree because she doesn't know ......" Luo Qian paused and said, "If Mom asks, what do you say, and what should I say?" ”
Luo Yan held a snowball, made a snowman's nose in a moment, and loaded it for the snowman.
"Just now, Nana said...... She was an orphan, she said. ”
