"Are you a baby?" She raised her voice again, "Why can't you expand that store?" Do you have to expand when you get married? ”

"Mom, be reasonable." I said, "I decided to expand first, and then he decided to get married." ”

"What are you talking about?!"

I frowned and moved the phone away, trying to clear my ears a bit.

I memorized what she was going to say next.

I was the one she and the old man had worked hard, and I grew up with a handful of and a handful of urine.

Originally, it was very easy to take me alone, but they had to work so hard to take two people, I don't know how tiring it was over the years.

In her description, if she hadn't taken such good care of me, I would never have been admitted to Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and I would never have found such a good job.

But I vividly remember that when I graduated from junior high school, I cried and howled that I wanted to go to high school.

She didn't agree.

She asked me to go out to work to earn tuition for my penultimate brother.

I also heard her discuss with the old man that she would marry me off when I was seventeen years old, exchange it for a bride price of 10,000 yuan, and send me to study in the city.

If it weren't for the teacher who came to the village to teach me and let me go to high school, I would have returned to the mountain village by now, a 33-year-old with a teenager, and the focus of my daily work is how to take care of a pig and five chickens.

My teacher told me that if you want to change your life, you must go to the outside world.

She is the guiding light of my life.

"Do you know how many people you lost to me?!" She continued to shout, "You're thirty-five! Thirty-five years old, do you know?! How many years can you make money? ”

"Mom, I'm thirty-three." I say.

"I haven't got married in my thirties! I don't have any faces with you! She took a deep breath, "Is there anyone in the village who is in their thirties and doesn't get married?" They all say you're sick, don't you know? ”

"So I don't want to stay in the village anymore, Mom." I smiled wryly, "I want to live another life." ”

"You don't want your brother to think about it!" She once again returned to the topic, "You take 200,000 yuan, your brother buys a house in the county seat, and you don't need to pay for it in the future, do you want it?" ”

"I can't get out." Once again, I reiterated my opinion, "Chengcai is already thirty-two years old, and he has never even done a job, so why should he get married?" Does he have what it takes to plan for his future? ”

"It's up to you!" She said, "Aren't you a famous boss in Chengdu? ”

"Mom, I'm not the boss, I'm a lawyer."

"It's the one who sues, you will sue, those bosses are afraid of you?" She continued to indoctrinate me with her thoughts, "You ask them for money, and if they don't give money, you will sue, do you want to get it?" ”

It's ridiculous.

"Mom, this is not only illegal, but also unfair." I said, "When will Chengcai get married?" ”

"Next week, wow, June 6th." She scolded and said, "There is only one week left, you should hurry up!" ”

"Okay, I'll definitely wrap a red envelope then."

"Red envelopes?! You're a......"

I didn't listen to her continue and hung up.

Although I have been working hard for so many years, whenever and wherever I receive a call from home, I will definitely fall into a situation of collapse.

My family never thought about me in the slightest.

In their eyes, I have only two roles.

Or go back to get married, earn a bride price, and then become a fertility machine and never get along. Or earn money in Chengdu and send it home, and then it will become a money-making machine that never stops.

I took out a box of wide and narrow boxes from my backpack and bit one with a blank face.

I'm really tired right now.

Dealing with family members is more tiring than fighting a lawsuit.

As soon as I lit the cigarette, the door of the safe passage was pushed open, and I subconsciously hid the cigarette behind me, after all, many people will be full of malice towards women who smoke, and I want to avoid this kind of trouble.

"Sister Zhang?" Xiao Sun poked his head out and looked at me curiously.

Seeing that it was Xiao Sun, I put the cigarette in my mouth again: "Scared me, what's wrong?" ”

"I see you've been answering the phone for a long time, I'm afraid there's something wrong, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Xiao Sun took the cigarette case in my hand very skillfully and took out one: "Sister Zhang, I haven't seen you smoking for a long time, what's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." I shook my head, "It's a family thing." ”

After that, I paused, looked at his hand that lit a cigarette, and asked, "Didn't you quit smoking?" ”

"Sister Zhang, I said before, if you quit, I will quit, and if you smoke, I will smoke." He took a puff of cigarette and slowly closed his eyes, "If you want to take care of your body, we will raise it together, and if you want to spoil your body, we will spoil it together." ”

I sighed with a laugh: "What is this called?" You're hooking your body to me, right? ”

"Fair." Xiao Sun nodded, "Sister Zhang, no matter what you do, I just want to be with you." ”

Xiao Sun had said something similar before, which made me feel a little uneasy, so I could only refrain from responding every time.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiao Sun spoke again, but this time his tone was a little unnatural: "Sister Zhang, I won't live tomorrow, I bought an extra ticket for Ren Xianqi's concert, I heard that you like him very much, do you want to go and see it together?" ”

I took out the ashtray I carryed, put the ash away, looked up and asked, "Xiao Sun, you happen to not be alive tomorrow, you happen to buy Ren Xianqi's tickets, you happen to buy two, and he happens to be my favorite star, what do you want to do?" ”

"I'm ......" Xiao Sun paused, the roots of his ears were a little red, and he said after a long time, "Sister Zhang, we have known each other for many years, I don't want to stay in the relationship between my boss and subordinates with you, I want to know more about you." ”

Now the little boy is really bold, even though I have seen so many ups and downs in the lawsuit, I am still heartbeat by him.

"But Sister Zhang...... You've been closing yourself off, and I've never been able to get into your heart. Xiao Sun said a little nervously, "This life is still very long, we ...... Do you want to go together? ”

I looked at Xiao Sun's clear eyes, silently lowered my head, and inserted the cigarette into the ashtray I carried with me.

For some reason, when I heard these words, I was extremely disappointed.

I am like a bamboo basket full of holes, and I have no right to hold anyone's tenderness.

"Little Sun, you ...... I'm twenty-six years old. ”

"Yes, Sister Zhang, I will be twenty-seven years old after my birthday."

"I'm seven years older than you." I said with a blank face, "You are young enough to find a better partner, and you will have a better life." If you tie yourself to me, one day you will find me full of holes, and everything now is my disguise. ”

The air was a little quieter, except for the muffled music of the wedding in the distance.

"I ...... I don't care if you're in a mess or broken, I'm willing to use everything I have to help you make it up. Xiao Sun's eyes gradually became firm, "Sister Zhang, I like you, regardless of age, background, or past." What I like is this strong, hardworking, serious, and persistent you, every word I say has been considered for a long time, and now I am just waiting for you to reply. ”
