Chapter 58 No. 4 Sugar Cane 4
Sister Cai is 53 years old this year, she sent her grandson to kindergarten, bought today's vegetables on the way, and walked to the community with an eco-friendly bag.
I greeted the doorman Lao He, and at a glance, I saw a group of old sisters sitting in the pavilion not far away, and they unconsciously smiled on their faces.
"Yo, it's been fenced so early, you've bought all the dishes?"
shouted with a smile as he walked.
"What did you buy today?"
"Lettuce, you should buy it in the afternoon, there is a van in the small square of the community next door in the afternoon to pull a bundle of bundles, ten catties and five yuan."
"Really? Fresh or not? ”
"It must be fresh."
"It's just that whoever buys it if it's not fresh."
"What? Can't finish eating? There are five or six people in the family, and one person and one chopstick are gone when they fry a dish. ”
...
Several people exchanged pleasantries.
Sister Cai sat on the stone chair and put the bag next to her, "I heard your voices from afar, why are you talking so lively." ”
The old girlfriends rolled their eyes and pouted in unison, and glanced at Xu Yuling, who looked lonely and sad, and one of them said, "It's not the old Xu family, her son dislikes her and wants to send her back to her hometown." ”
"Sent back to my hometown?" Sister Cai's eyes widened, "No, Lao Xu, haven't you been back to your hometown for more than ten years, so you can still live?" "Once the house loses popularity, it will not be long before it is abandoned.
Oh no!
"Is there a mistake, who in our community doesn't know that your family is the most filial, and listens to you the most, and no one will dislike you if he dislikes you." She didn't believe it anyway.
Believe what?
has lived here for 30 years, has been a neighbor for 30 years, and has known each other since she was young, can she still not know who Xu Yuling is?
In the words of my little niece, who just started college, it is to do.
Heaven and earth.
Self-centered.
I think that the old Song family was just made by her.
"Sister Cai, don't you know the pillow wind? What if the child listens to his mother, once he gets married, it's not what his wife says, look at my family, I don't come back once a month after moving out, I don't have a phone call, it's not someone else's pillow wind, I don't believe it. The aunt said and sneered, "If you have the ability to be outside all your life, don't come to me if you have something." ”
"I can't say that, young people nowadays don't want to live with the elderly, so how do you say that, you want to be free and want a two-person world." Another aunt said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, there are many contradictions in living together, we are all retired, we have money in our hands, we don't have to take care of young people, we go out to dance every day, and walk with a group from time to time, how good."
Xu Yuling lowered her eyelashes.
She's not so free.
Others have a pension, but she doesn't, and she has been living on her previous savings and men's death benefits all these years, and she has long spent it.
Hearing the words of the old neighbor, she smiled bitterly, "Isn't it, young people have their own lives, I still have to be conscious, don't be disgusted, I'm already old, how long can I live, don't attract resentment, just go back to the countryside, my old man's grave is buried in the countryside, he has been alone for so many years, I... If I hadn't had two children who were still young, I would have gone with him a long time ago, what do you say I mean by being alive, when I am old, I won't invite my son to see me, do you want me to die as a mother to be satisfied..."
She hid her face and sobbed.
Several people were busy comforting her.
Sister Cai was confused and grabbed the person next to her, "What's wrong with her family?" ”
The man glanced at Xu Yuling, who was surrounded by a group, pursed his lips, and whispered, "The trivial things are because she is small-minded..."
As he spoke, he shared the gossip he heard.
The eyes that glowed with an astonishing light and the mouth that kept opening and closing were not as uninterested as she had just said.
"She said it herself?" Sister Cai, who listened to the whole process, looked at Xu Yuling in disbelief.
"That's not it, sitting here with our heads down early in the morning, we should have something going on, that's it... Oh, to put it mildly, who young people don't like to eat a barbecue and have a supper, when the old one opens one eye and closes one eye, who hasn't been young, this little thing has to be taken care of, no wonder she-"
"Okay, don't talk about it." Sister Cai hurriedly grabbed the man and winked at her.
The man understood and shut up.
Xu Yuling stopped crying under the comfort of her old neighbors, she showed a far-fetched smile and wiped her eyes, "I'm fine, but I'm a little sad in my heart, I worked hard to raise my son, but..."
Everyone understands what is not said.
It's all mother-in-law, and I still understand it very well.
"You relax, you should eat, you should play, and you can get sick less by worrying less."
"Yes, we have worked hard all our lives, but don't worry about their young people's affairs anymore, physical health is the most important thing."
"You're too careful, they're still annoying."
Xu Yuling smiled and wiped her tears, "I know, my son is still fine." ”
The old neighbors agreed, "Your family is indeed filial." ”
...
Song Shi came back from work, and as soon as he entered the community, he was stopped by an aunt.
He thought about it.
Oh, it's a neighbor who is good friends with the original scumbag's mother, surnamed Cai.
"Aunt Cai, what's the matter?"
Sister Cai pulled him aside, "Song Shi, Auntie asked you, did you make your mother angry?" ”
Song Shi blinked, looking innocent, "Aunt Cai, who did you listen to when you said this, I made my mother angry?" I don't know. ”
"You still say!" Sister Cai glared, "Your mother said it, saying that you and your daughter-in-law didn't give her food, and the two of them secretly ate in the house and didn't call her, treating her as a burden." ”
"Then Aunt Cai, you really blame me, I came back from work yesterday at seven o'clock, and I didn't cook at home, I couldn't help but complain a few words, who knew that my mother would go to my heart." He looked at Sister Cai helplessly, "Could it be that Auntie, your family also waited for your son and daughter-in-law to come back from the evening shift to make dinner?" ”
“... Belch. "Sister Cai choked, that's not it, not only her family, but also in the community, if you want to wait until the young people come back to cook, God knows what time it will be to eat.
"Your son and daughter-in-law have to take you and my uncle every time they go out to dinner?" He waved his hand, "Who in our community doesn't know that my salary card has been pinched in my mother's hand, and the cakes, biscuits, and elderly milk powder hidden in the cabinet in her room can open a supermarket, and no one at home can starve her." ”
"I'm the one to be sympathized with, okay?"
"I don't have the money to join the company for team building, my colleagues think I'm not social, the leader thinks I'm not united, and I have to force a smile when I get home..."
"I am now all dependent on my daughter-in-law to support me, how can I be qualified to let her help me support my mother."
After speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "Fortunately, I didn't listen to my mother ask for Xiaolan's salary card at the beginning, otherwise how could we have a good life now, and we would definitely eat dirt." ”
Aunt Cai's pupils shook violently.
She hurriedly grabbed Song Shi, who was about to leave, "Are you stuck with your mother?" ”
"Yes, she said she was afraid that I would spend it indiscriminately, so help me save it." Song Shi took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, "Aunt Cai, is there anything else, I'll leave first if it's okay." ”
Sister Cai let go of her hand.
As soon as Song Shi left, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and sent a voice message to the old sister who usually has a good relationship, "Eh, do you know, I just met Lao Xu's son, he said..."
