Chapter 10: Returning Home
My mother was still sneaking up to the door of the room that night and threw in a chicken, and when she was about to close the door and leave, she found a dark figure standing by the door.
"Mom!" She screamed inadvertently, and when she saw me clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ning Ning, why are you? You scared the hell out of your silence. "My mom kept patting her breasts with her hands, and as she said, she was terrified.
"What are you doing without sleep all night?"
I didn't answer her, I just asked a rhetorical question.
"I, I can't sleep a little, so I came out and worked!" My mom was a little speechless, and her eyes were still evasive.
"Well, really?" I didn't break her to see how long she wanted to keep it a secret.
"Okay, it's not early, you go back and go to bed early, don't come out and catch a cold!" My mom started pushing me.
"What is that thing chasing me to the river on the day of the full moon?" I see that she doesn't want to say it, so I'll just say it first.
"This, I don't know, I was busy with your cousin at the time, and I didn't see that thing, but I heard your cousin say that it should be a mountain ghost. There are people in the mountains behind us who go to chop wood, and they have really encountered mountain ghosts. Your life is not good, be more careful in the future. ”
My mother's ability to tell nonsense with her eyes open is getting more and more powerful, and she can actually make up such a lie.
And she also talked about my sore spots.
"Whether my life is good or not is not a direct cause at all, I'm afraid that someone wants to use this as a cover to do something unseemly!" I didn't show any mercy and scolded her in front of her.
My mother wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that her face was already red, she didn't say anything for a while. I looked at her, turned and left.
When I got back into the house and saw her alone, still standing in the yard, there was a moment of depression.
I don't know why I should be happy to see her like this, but I can't laugh at all.
The next day, when the sun had risen very high, I got up lazily and felt that I had slept quite comfortably and the exhaustion of my whole body dissipated.
When I walked out of the house, my mom had already cooked the meal.
"Ning Ning, come over and eat, it's still hot!"
I saw that the morning was still eating those, the leftovers from last night. My mother's cooking is very light these days, and if I can find a meaty one, it will be considered my loss.
"I see that your chickens are getting a lot less and less every day, and you are reluctant to eat them. It's weird, where did all the chickens go? ”
When my mother heard this, everyone was stunned, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer my question.
"Hey, too, Ning Ning has been at home for so many days, and I haven't cooked you a good meal as a mother, I'll make it for you today!"
My mom didn't answer me, she just diverted the subject.
"No need, when I was young, you were reluctant to make it for me, and now that I'm so big, I won't eat your good things. I will settle all the food expenses for you for the past few days, and today I have recovered and am ready to go back to my grandmother to live. ”
"You want to go, don't, Ning Ning is not good for her mother, it's been so many years, can you forgive your mother?"
When she spoke, she had a thick nasal voice. Her hand trembled and stretched out, trying to catch me, but hesitated.
I didn't say anything, and I felt terrible. Where were they when I needed her? Although my surname is Jing, who in their old Jing family has regarded me as their own family.
"If I didn't have my grandmother, I wouldn't have grown up so big, what else have you done to me besides giving birth to me? I have given you back the grace you gave birth to me when I was five years old, and the relationship between you and me is no longer a mother-daughter relationship. ”
I shook off her hand, and maybe many people would call me ruthless. But I just can't let go, I'm very selfish, I will give them back as much love as I have been a child.
She looked at me silently, didn't say anything, and I didn't even eat a mouthful of food. I went to the house to pack up my things and take away all the things that belonged to me, and I wouldn't want any of their things.
After packing my luggage, I took the letter that my grandmother left me, and the baby seemed to be in my pocket. Immediately I pulled out two hundred dollars, which was enough. I stayed here for seven days, and she never did anything good for me.
She also knew that my body was weak and needed to be repaired, but she didn't have any flesh, so I also saw through all this, she was originally that kind of person, and it was really whimsical to want her to be kind to herself.
I was about to leave with my luggage, and my mom stopped me.
"Ning Ning, it's not safe for you to go back alone, it's better for you to stay here for a while, and when your cousin comes back, it's okay to ......"
"No need, I'll leave you with the food money for the past few days. I won't be living here for long, and I'll have to go back to school later. ”
I said without further delay with her, and then left. My mom didn't mean to stop me.
I'm afraid she wants me to leave as soon as possible.
This leaves her and her precious son here, and it's more convenient, at least not to guard against me like a thief.
Today's sun was particularly dazzling, and the bright light was shining down, so I couldn't open my eyes.
I took the carriage from the village and walked to my grandmother's village. I really don't want to come here again.
At noon, I went back to my grandmother's house. It's always mixed when I come back. These are all memories of my childhood with my grandmother.
When I first entered the village, I saw that they were all weird, and they deliberately avoided me.
I easily found my grandmother's house, and the house was still the same house, but there was no one waiting for me to return home. The heart fell for a while.
I was just about to push open the dilapidated wooden door when Grandpa Zhang next door saw me.
"Girl, why are you back? Didn't you go to the next village and go back to your mother's place? "Only Grandpa Zhang is still as good to me as ever, and he hasn't changed at all.
"Grandpa Zhang, this is not my home, this is my home." When I said this, my vision was blurred, and the place where my grandmother was my home in Jingning.
Now that my grandmother is gone, where is my home at the ends of the earth?
"Hey, good boy, let's make dumplings, can you come over and eat them too?"
I wanted to refuse, but when I saw the expectant eyes of the old people, and thought of their age with my grandmother, I was too embarrassed to refuse.
"Okay, when I clean up here, I'll go and help Grandma Zhang make dumplings!"
I said with a smile. Grandpa Zhang also smiled and walked away.
I walked into the courtyard and was about to turn around and close the door when I saw Aunt Li staring at me not far away, and her eyes were shining with a vicious light.
I always knew that Aunt Li didn't like me, but she didn't stare at me with that cursed gaze, right?
"Aunt Li, is there something wrong with you?" I met her unfriendly gaze.
"You won't live long!"
