Chapter IV

After coming from the necropolis, Li Tifu returned to his factory. It's not that he doesn't want to go home today, it's just that the No. 2 bus he wants to get on is standing next to the factory gate, and besides, the nostalgic cemetery is not far from the cotton mill where he works. Li Tifu has a unique affection for this No. 2 bus, so as long as he gets on the bus, no matter how far away, Li Tifu will also go to the bus stop to wait for the No. 2 bus. Li Tifu also took the No. 2 bus during the five years he worked in this cotton mill, so it is reasonable to have feelings. Li Tifu saw from a distance that the No. 2 bus was just parked at the station, so he ran fast to catch the bus this time, but in the end he still didn't catch up, and the bus drove away when he was about to reach the public station. I had to wait another half an hour, the factory is on the edge of the city, and the number of residents and buildings is also very scarce, so there are naturally not many public transport arrangements.

While waiting, Li Tifu plugged in his headphones and listened to his favorite music. Li Tifu's favorite music style is classical music and folk music, and Li Tifu even listened to "Twelve Muqam" no less than five times. He feels that this kind of classical music gives people a sense of belonging.

Music can really relieve stress and boredom, Li Tifu is listening to the famous singer Mr. Maihemuti Suleiman's song "Borrow from the sky for another 500 years", he feels full of energy and shocking when he listens to this song. Especially the melody of the song. Li Tifu tuned the song into a single loop and listened to it repeatedly.

Although Li Tifu waited for a full forty minutes this time, he couldn't feel the length of that time. It may be that the shocking feeling brought by the addiction to music makes him unintentional to pay attention to the time, and the waiting time that should be the most disgusting and boring for him is not able to make Li Tifu angry this time.

Li Tifu got on the bus and chose the backmost position, leaned against the window, looked into the distance, listened to the music and continued to feel the shock brought by the music.

When he got home, Rich's mother, Bahar, sat on the couch.

Bahar repeatedly asked why Li Tifu had arrived so late, saying that her own mobile phone was in arrears, the phone could not be reached, and the person who was supposed to come back in the morning had not returned, which made her very worried. Bahar saw that Richford had a white medical cloth wrapped around his arm, and she asked the reason with more worried and sympathetic eyes.

Li Tifu listened to these words very calmly, and then told Bahar in an extremely weak voice that she was too tired to rest and sleep in the dormitory this morning, and her arm was scratched while peeling apples. Bahar saw Li Tifu's unwavering expression and understood, he didn't want to explain too much now, and then he didn't chase after it. She understood how it was possible to scratch her arm when peeling an apple, and Li Tifu used to go to work to rest at home even if she was tired.

Bahar had already made dinner, but he didn't know when Li Tifu would arrive home in the evening, so the meal was made a little early, causing the meal to be cold. Li Tifu ate his meal without saying a word, and Bahar was watching Li Tifu eat with a slight smile, but the scene seemed a little quiet, excessively quiet. It is clear that these two men seem to be out of place with each other today.

"Brother, are you back? When did you come back?" it was Li Tifu's younger brother Ai Hetamu, who came in from the door and saw Li Tifu extremely excited.

Li Tifu saw that Aihetamu was still looking at Aihetamu with a dull look, he couldn't see a trace of light in his eyes, and replied with two words very coldly and briefly: "Just now!" ”

"After you finish eating, let's play together, okay?" Ahtamu said with a smile still on his face.

Li Tifu did not answer and continued to eat.

"Are you uncomfortable there?"

When Li Tifu heard this, he looked up at Bahar's serious eyes and replied:

"Nope"

It's still very short, just a few words, and it still seems to be full of care.

Li Tifu looked at Bahar's very serious eyes, and suddenly felt that his tone and attitude were a little bad, so he quickly put away his cold eyes and began to say:

"No, Mom! I'm fine, I'm just a little tired" Li Tifu said thirteen words this time, and his attitude was much better, but his eyes were still a little cold.

"That's good!" Bahar remained serious.

"Brother! Let's play together, shall we? Ahtam said.

Li Tifu wanted to speak, but Bahar said first:

"Baby! Brother, I'm too tired today, let's play together tomorrow! ”

"Okay!" Ahtamu sighed stingily, threw his hands down, rolled his little eyeballs, and looked a little disappointed with an extremely cute expression.

Ahtamu sat down at the dinner table facing Li Tifu, but his eyes were tilted to the lower right, and he put on a look of ignoring you. Ahtam always likes to use this gesture to express dissatisfaction and anger, especially when something is not as he would like, he likes to express his protest in this way.

"How's it going at school?" Li Tifu knew about Ahtamu's protest and dissatisfaction, so he began to take the initiative to talk.

"Very good!" Ahtamu didn't look at Li Tifu, but continued to look to the lower right and said.

"What a lesson today!"

"Lots of lessons!"

Li Tifu made a trick: "Mom, the salary you received yesterday was paid to you, have you received it?" ”。

Sure enough, hearing this, Aihetamu quickly looked at Li Tifu, and when he saw Li Tifu looking at himself with a smile, he quickly assumed the posture just now. The reason why this incident can arouse Aihetamu's curiosity is because two weeks ago, Li Tifu promised Aihetamu that he would receive his salary and buy him a toy.

"Don't you need to buy a refrigerator? Is there enough money? Li Tifu continued.

Bahar looked at Richford with a look of astonishment, and he didn't understand what he meant until Richford winked.

"Ahh Enough, enough, just enough"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Aihetamu took the initiative to ask, "Brother, what about the toys you bought me!" ”

"What a toy!" Li Tifu said in a flickering manner.

"Brother! Didn't we say last time, okay, you buy me toys when you get paid? Ahtamu said with an aggrieved face, that kind of small look can make people heartbreaking.

"We don't! When? Li Tifu feigned surprise and disbelief and said to Ahtamu.

"Humph! If you don't buy it, you won't buy it, my mom will buy it for me anyway

"If I say I won't buy it, my mother won't buy it for you"

"Anyway, you go to work the day after tomorrow, and when you're away, I'll ask my mother to use your salary to buy me toys"

Li Tifu was stunned for a moment when he heard the word "go to work". It seems that for Li Tifu, the word "going to work" has become a sensitive word.

Seeing the change in Li Tifu's eyes, Bahar wanted to liven up the atmosphere more and said, "Yes! Your brother won't buy you toys, I'll buy them for you! Baby".

Bahar said and looked at Li Tifu, thinking in his mind about the content of the conversation and the impact on Li Tifu.

After Li Tifu was quiet for a while, he continued with a reluctant smile: "This kid is getting smarter and smarter!" ”。 It's okay not to smile with that face, but when he smiles like this, Li Tifu's face becomes even more unrecognizable and hideous. Sure enough, people who have no light in their eyes laugh extremely ugly.

"How can you be worthy of his brother if he is not smart! You were smarter than Aihe in school! As expected, as soon as this sentence came out, Li Tifu was silent again. Li Tifu is also a person with a relatively upright personality, he still hasn't learned to hide his emotions properly when he is so old, or the things he thinks in his head and the changes in his emotions like before, will quickly grow on his face, and it is easy to be noticed by others.

Bahar saw the change in Richford's eyes and expression, and did not continue to speak.

Li Tifu was silent for a while, and then smiled at Aihetamu and said, "What kind of class did you take at school!" ”

"Today, I took the Chinese class, which is my favorite text"

"Remember the name of the text and the name of the author!"

"Of course I do! Brother, how can you forget the author's name! ”

"The name of the text is 'Idol', and the author's name is 'Isar'"

"That's great, the author's name must be remembered!"

"Good!"

At the end of the conversation, Li Tifu did not speak again after saying this dialogue. Ahtamu then said a few words, but did not speak again after receiving no answer from Li Tifu. After Li Tifu finished eating, he told the mother and son that he would rest and go back to his bedroom. Ahtamu said that he wanted to sleep with his brother, but Bahar said that his brother was tired and tired, so he did not agree.

Li Tifu returned to his bedroom, did not go to bed immediately, he has no intention of going to sleep now, the words just now echoed repeatedly in Li Tifu's mind and made him unable to extricate himself. The words "work, smart, school" have obviously become sensitive words in Li Tifu's eyes, and he has crossed them out of his dictionary, especially the word "work".

Li Tifu sat at the head of the bed and began to look at the lower left in a daze!
