Chapter 1 Live only for yourself
A crescent moon hangs from the hazy dark canopy.
Xie Mi returned home with the half-price ingredients he bought from Wal-Mart, and his brother Xie Ming was drinking cold beer and watching the football game, and nibbling on the chicken rack she fried yesterday, looking very leisurely and comfortable.
It is her sister, who is nearly half a hundred years old, who is supported year after year, day after day.
Seeing that she was back, Xie Ming scolded and said, "You won't die every day, come back soon!" Rubbing something outside. ”
Xie Qi said angrily: "I work two jobs, how can I come back early." ”
"I work two jobs, and I don't see how well you raise Lao Tzu, and I have to wait for you to come back and cook hungry every day."
"There are vegetables in the fridge and rice in the kitchen so you can cook and eat by yourself."
"I'm a big man, why did I go into the kitchen."
Xie Mi felt very disgusted just by hearing this statement.
"If you don't think you're doing well with me, get out."
Xie Ming gritted his teeth and didn't say anything more.
Xie Qi looked at his brother, whose hair was already half-white, but his facial features were quite clear, and even his appearance was much younger than his own.
He is two years older than me, he is fifty-two years old this year, and I am fifty years old.
For 50 years of my life, I have done something, and it seems that there is nothing more than being forced to contribute to my brother all the time.
In my life, there are no dreams, no pursuits, no pleasures, only endless bullying and oppression by my family.
What a sad and ridiculous life!
The money earned in the past few years was hollowed out by his parents to marry his brother's daughter-in-law, but unfortunately he was lazy, greedy, and irritable, and he couldn't keep his life after marrying his daughter-in-law.
The money for marrying his daughter-in-law to buy a house is a waste, and then he will open a fruit shop for a while, and a restaurant for a while, and all the money that his parents have saved for many years of working in the city will be gone.
Three years ago, my parents, who were too old to work anymore, went back to Xiaogoushan to live, and when they left Xiaogoushan hand in hand, they were thinking something.
Do you also want to break out outside, have a world of your own, and live a good life, but unfortunately I was hurt by Xie Ming in the end.
However, they loved their son deeply, and before leaving, they sent Xie Ming to her and told them to take care of Xie Ming.
They had no bones and blood for Xie Ming to gnaw, so they found a piece for Xie Ming, a younger bone and blood to gnaw? It's ridiculous.
When I was a child, my parents went to the city to work, and only my grandparents took care of their siblings at home.
Later, his parents worked to earn some money, so they took his brother out of Xiaogou Mountain.
All the love of his parents was given to his brother, and the only thing that supported Xie Mi to live in this world was the loving care of his grandparents when he was young, and in Xiaogou Mountain, where he was obsessed with loving boys.
The old Xie family can love their little granddaughter so much, but they can't figure it out by the mountain people, and they talk about it a lot.
Over the years, when life has been too hard, Xie Mi can grit his teeth and persevere as long as he thinks about his grandparents.
There used to be a pair of old people who loved her selflessly, and those warm loves, like two small lights, shone on her dark life.
Seeing that the rice was almost stewed, Xie Mi began to stir-fry, tomato scrambled eggs, pickled vegetables and fried meat, fried pork ribs, cabbage vermicelli bean skin soup, a total of four dishes, each dish is quite a lot, because Xie Ming eats a lot.
He can eat it, and he eats it very poorly, and he pours it into his mouth, Xie Mi doubts whether he has tasted it or not, and whether the food is good or not.
When she was a child, she really couldn't stand it, and her brother's exaggerated eating sound asked him to eat more slowly, but he dropped his chopsticks and pressed his head against the wall.
Fortunately, he was pulled away by his grandparents, but he said viciously: "You are so biased towards her, do you still expect her to provide for you in old age, dream!" She'll just be a basin of water that will be spilled out in the future. ”
The grandfather immediately defended his granddaughter and said: "I think you are a lazy person, you help the family cook every day, what about you!" The book is not easy to read, and I run blindly all over the mountains. ”
"Crying when you are bullied by outsiders, you only dare to bully your sister when you come home, and you are angry with her, you little bastard in the nest."
When he finished eating, there was not much food left on the table, Xie Mi had no appetite, got up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went back to the house.
After an evening came, there was a knock on the door and my brother's voice, "Xie Mi go buy me a beer." ”
Xie Qi opened the door and looked at his brother and said, "Is there nothing in the refrigerator?" ”
"It's in the refrigerator, what am I calling you for!"
Xie Qi glanced at the coffee table in the living room, "Didn't you drink three cans?" Three cans a day is about the same. ”
"Lao Tzu can drink as much as he wants, you don't want to go quickly," he said, took out a crumpled fifty yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into Xie Qi's hand, and pushed her out.
Xie Mi, who was standing at the door, was still a little unable to come back to his senses, and spread out his palms and looked at the green fifty yuan, this is the first time Xie Ming has given her money in his life, it can't be fake money!
Xie Qi picked it up and faced the light, and carefully studied the money, watermark, portrait, and feel in his hand, except for the old one, it seemed to be real.
She took the money to the small supermarket downstairs, chose a few cans of Yanjing beer, lingered in front of the shelves for a while, and chose two cans of pineapple beer for herself before checking out and going home.
After returning home, Xie Mi found that the door of his room was wide open, and when he went in with a plastic bag, he saw that it was a mess, as if someone had turned over it wildly.
All the cabinets were opened and poured out, and the bits and pieces fell to the ground, Xie Mi rushed over to the last layer of the cabinet to take a look, and the five thousand yuan in cash he had saved, two gold necklaces, and the pendant pendant, the bracelet were all gone.
It's either a house thief or a foreign thief, but she is more inclined to be a house thief and difficult to prevent, after all, Xie Ming suddenly gave her fifty yuan just now, and she had to go out, which is very strange.
Xie Mi went to his brother's house again to take a look, the wardrobe was wide open, and there was not a single piece of clothes left inside.
The purple suitcase next to the wardrobe is also gone, and sure enough, this bastard did it, does he owe money to his card friend again.
Xie Mi sat weakly in the living room for a while, and then comforted himself: "It's okay if he leaves, I'm afraid that the money will run out and come back." ”
After a while, a message from Xie Ming came to her mobile phone WeChat, my brother, my brother is going to follow Xiuyue to her hometown to live, and my parents rely on you to take care of it, and my son can't be trusted.
He doesn't call his younger brother's name, Luo Yu, and always replaces it with a turtle son.
Xie Mi put his mobile phone in his heart with some excitement, he really left, I hope he doesn't come back, otherwise I will change my city life, lest he find it again when he is short of money, and it is not easy to get rid of the bastard.
It's a pity that the 5,000 yuan and a little gold jewelry are all the savings of Xie Mi, a fifty-year-old person, but there are still three days left, and she will be paid, maybe she can take that salary and leave here to live again.
Life is like duckweed, and you must live well.
She helps people clean in two buildings, she can earn 6,000 yuan a month, except for 2,000 to take home to her parents, the rest has to be carefully spent, three years ago she rented a small house, the rent is cheap, she is frugal, she can save a little more money every year, she originally counted on those who saved money to retire.
Unexpectedly, her parents suddenly came to the door with Xie Ming and asked her to take care of her, but after she refused, she was beaten by the old mother crying and fussing.
