Childhood + quiet Liaohe - Chapter 91:
In the middle of the night, my mother called me in a hurry and told me with a sigh: the old aunt is coming!
Put down the phone, I was so excited that I didn’t close my eyes all night. Ah, my dear aunt, I haven’t seen you for many years. Are you ok?
The next morning, I rushed the sauce to the office and drove home.
“Mom,”
just opened the door, my mother in pajamas just came to me. I chuckled and hugged my mother’s warm pink neck. My mouth was wide, and I bit and chewed it wantonly. My mother pushed me away in a hurry: “Oh, son, don’t make a fuss. Your aunt and his family are here. Alas, the backpacks are scattered and they seem to be escaping It’s a shelter for the blind. Take a look at us
With that, my mother mumbled into the bathroom and went to wash and dress up. I wiped my thick lips full of mother’s body fluid, and quietly pushed open the door of the inner room.
The old lady, who had been away for many years, was still sitting beside the bed, her figure was still so thin; her face was still full of sadness; her dress was still so simple, but it was extremely neat.
Next to the old aunt, Wu Tao, who has grown up, has always been a son who has never stood or sat down. Wu Rui, the youngest daughter of the old aunt, curls up shyly by the desk, fidgeting with a plastic ruler with a small hand.
“Auntie,”
@
when I pushed the door into the room, the three of them stood up. I ran straight to the old lady, holding her dry palm tightly: “Auntie, I haven’t seen you for many years. My nephew missed you so much.”
“Big nephew,”
@
my aunt was excited to hold my big hand with one small hand. The other hand, as in the past, was still playing with my collar with love. The skinny face flashed with eager soft light, “Ho, Xiaoli, so tall, so strong!”
“Brother Li”
@
Wu Tao called me courteously. I glanced at him and was too lazy to pay attention to him. Wu Rui, hiding behind his aunt, timidly called out: “big cousin!”
“Well,”
I gave Wu Rui a cool smile, and her lustful eyes blinked playfully: it’s really a girl’s eighteen years old. The more she changes, the more she looks.
The cousin in front of me, like my beloved old aunt, is light and delicate with delicate waist. Wen Wen stands quietly. Her thin melon face is full of sweet smile. Seeing me staring at her, she lowers her head shyly. Her little hands are still playing with the plastic ruler carelessly.
“Big nephew,”
@
the old aunt sat back to the bed, and then pulled me to her side. Her dry palm gently touched my face: “come on, let me have a good look, for so many years, ah, my big nephew is really handsome!”
“Auntie,”
@
under the touch of her, my heart was warm. I took her hand and asked in a low voice, “what’s your uncle? How is his health? ”
“Well,”
hearing my question, the old aunt could not help sighing, and then said with a sad face, “he is dead!”
“Oh –”
I exclaimed in surprise: “dead
“Dead,”
the old aunt nodded in a daze: “dead, dead, ah, his death doesn’t matter, the salary is not open, the old aunt’s family has no way to live, your brother is not good at learning, doing nothing, you know how to play with money. If you play three tricks and two tricks, you will lose the house!”
“Huo –”
I turned my head and glanced at Xiao Wu Tao, and I said in my heart: it’s like father, there must be son!
Seeing me staring at him with great contempt, Wu Tao lowered his head in shame and gnawed his finger tip awkwardly.
“Well,”
I murmured to my aunt: “Auntie, you don’t have any income. How can you live
“Big cousin,”
without waiting for the old aunt to answer, Wu Rui, a lovely little cousin, snatched Bai: “we rented a shabby and small house to live in. My mother led me to process children’s clothing for the clothing factory to earn some hard money and barely make a living! Big cousin, we are poor, have no money, can’t afford to buy the latest electric sewing machine, so we have to buy a foot type sewing machine which is going to be scrapped. My mother and I used this broken machine to work in shifts day and night. My mother was heartbroken and asked me to work day shift. However, she stayed up at night every day, and one step was a night. “Alas,” the old aunt sighed and interrupted the watch Sister’s words, more sad sigh: “forget it, forget it, girl wow, you don’t nag a few words, how can you make money without getting tired, big nephew,”
the old aunt turned to me: “as long as you can earn money, my aunt is not afraid to be tired, but, this boy,”
the old aunt pointed to little Wu Tao: “your cousin, he, always does not give old aunt trouble, always It’s to make trouble for me
“You,”
I stare at Xiao Wu Tao: “what’s wrong with you
“I, I, I,”
@
under my aggressive gaze, little Wu Tao felt guilty and groaned, and the old aunt took over the words: “the big boy of the old Tang family in our village has painstakingly saved a sum of money to buy an agricultural tractor. However, when your cousin, who is not good at learning English and doesn’t follow the right path, becomes obsessed with evil ideas and seeks others for help Cheat people into gambling. He also worked in partnership with others and cheated them out of all the money they had saved to buy tractors. As a result, the boy lost his eyes and looked at the book without hope. He found a hemp rope and hanged himself
“Wow”
I was surprised and grinned: “Huo Huo, little Wu Tao, you are really good
“Nephew, life matters. Your cousin can cause a lot of trouble now. The old Tang family reported the case, and the County Public Security Bureau came down to arrest people. All those guys who cooperated with your cousin to cheat others were all taken in by the police. Xiao Wu Tao was a bit clever. He had been hiding away for a long time. The police didn’t catch him. However, he was always hiding, which day would be the end, I can’t help it. My aunt will lead him to your house to avoid it! ”
“Wu Tao, damn it!”
My mother came into the room with a wet face: “you think it’s very good that you think that if you come to my house, you will avoid the arrest of the police, son.”
my mother whispered to me: “tell your aunt about your third uncle’s affairs!”
“Yes,”
I took a look at the hopeless little Wu Tao. I told my aunt and Wu Tao about the causes and consequences of my uncle’s coming to my house to avoid disaster. Finally, the police arrested him, put on iron handcuffs, and was escorted back to his hometown by the police.
“Oh,” Wu Tao said, “what can I do? What can I do? If the police catch me, I will not be well. Those guys who cheated with me have been sentenced to heavy punishment!”
“How could I have known that?”
I looked at Xiao Wu Tao coldly, and the old aunt murmured with anxiety on her face: “this, this, this, alas, I can’t stay at home, and I can’t hide here. What can I do?”
“Yuyan,”
his mother stood in front of the dresser, arranging her black and shining hair, and nagging impatiently: “what can I do for such a frustrated son? In my opinion, he should be put in prison for a few years. This is not a bad thing for him. It can help to educate him and see whether he can learn well in the future. Besides, if the police really want to arrest him, he will be able to arrest him even if he runs to the ends of the earth. I think you girls should go home and send Wu Tao to surrender himself. Maybe you can get a year and a half less sentence! ”
Hearing his mother’s words, Wu Tao drooped his long gray face, secretly but fiercely glared at his mother. The old aunt said helplessly to her mother: “second sister, look at what you said, how can a mother want her son to be imprisoned? Alas,”
My Aunt once again held my hand: “nephew, what should I do, nephew, think of a way for my aunt Come on
“Hi.”
The mother turned her head and said to the old aunt coldly, “he is a child. What can I do? Besides, you want my son to be a harbinger like you, Yuyan!”
Mother took out several bills from her pocket and threw them in front of the old aunt angrily: “well, I only have this money. You can buy some tickets and go home to send Wu Tao to surrender himself.”
My mother turned to me again. From my mother’s eyes, I guessed very clearly that my mother hoped that the old aunt would disappear in front of her eyes for ever and ever: “son, go, take your car and send your aunt to the station!”
“Mom,”
I stood up and walked to my mother’s plump body. My eyes were staring at my mother. At the same time, I took my mother’s fat, white palm and thought about how to persuade my mother to take in my old aunt who had no house, no land, no property, no job for the time being Mother’s words, go, take your aunt to the station, hurry up
“Big nephew, the old aunt is gone!”
The old aunt didn’t reach out to get the small bills that her mother gave her. Instead, she hastily packed up her simple luggage. Under her mother’s unfeeling and cold eyes, she walked out of the house sour and sour. Wu Tao followed the old aunt dejectedly, while Wu Rui sobbed.
Seeing the old aunt’s family groaning out of the door, my mother turned her lips to me and said, “good son, quickly, send them away to my mother!”
“Hum,”
I gave my mother a cold snort, shook the car key fiercely, and then I slammed the door to death.
“Mom,”
in the car, Wu Tao suddenly hugged his aunt and cried in despair: “Mom, I don’t go home, I don’t want to go home, I say I won’t go home, mom, don’t send me to surrender!”
“Son,”
when the old aunt held Wu Tao’s head and saw her son’s pitiful appearance, she burst into tears: “son, son, if you don’t go home, where are you going? Your second aunt won’t accept us! Mother has no ability, can not earn money, do not surrender, how do you do! Eh, eh, eh, eh
“Mom, I don’t want to go to jail! Woo hoo, woo woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
“Little Wu Tao,”
@
I stopped my car in front of the ticket office of the railway station and thought for a moment. At last, I made up my mind. I threw off the cigarette butt, pulled out a stack of bills to buy cigarettes for big sauce, turned around and put it into Wu Tao’s hand behind me: “Wu Tao, here, take this money. If you don’t want to go to prison and don’t want to be sentenced to heavy punishment, then Run far away, the farther the better. Wu Tao, go to the South and work there to earn some hard money. If you can support yourself, just go! ”
“Thank you, cousin!”
Wu Tao wiped a handful of tears, excitedly took the money, and kept thanking him in his mouth. The old aunt took his son’s hand with tears: “son, when you are in the south, you should work hard and be responsible. Don’t cheat people with money. Son, you can save your mother’s worries.”
“Well,”
Wu Tao was holding the money and only accepted it. The old aunt was holding her son, and she kept saying goodbye. I slipped quietly to the ticket office and bought a train ticket. Then, I pushed it into the window: “here, Wu Tao, this is the train ticket to the south. I’m going to drive soon. Go to check the ticket!”
“Son son”
@
the old aunt clenched Wu Tao’s arm: “when you are in the south, don’t forget to write to your mother!”
Old aunt reluctantly took her son’s hand: “son, you must write to your mother!”
I stood by the car in silence, looking at Wu Tao, who was about to run away from the world; my aunt, who was constantly pouring tears of despair; and looking at the lonely, lovely and poor little Wu Rui, I felt sad and said: Oh, my aunt has no house. Where will the two women live after they go back and how can they live in the future?
Oh, what can you do, these ladies!
Wu Tao said goodbye to his aunt in tears. Then, he hurried up to the ticket checking room on the second floor. I thought about it a little. Then, I opened the door and sat back in the driver’s seat. The car turned around and returned to the city. The old aunt asked me, “nephew, what are you doing? Why are you pulling my aunt back to the city again?”
“Auntie, you and Wu Rui don’t go home and live here with us.”
“But my aunt has no house.”
“Rent it!”
Hearing that I was going to let my old aunt live in the city, my cousin Wu Rui’s face flashed with excitement and murmured, “let’s rent a house, mom.”
“Hum”
the old aunt squinted at Wu Rui and said, “it’s easy to say it, but how can we have money?”
“Mom,”
little Wu Rui said defiantly, “Mom, I go out to work, earn money, pay the rent!”
“Oh, just you.”
@
the old aunt looked at her weak daughter with scorn: “Hey, what skills do you have? How much money can you earn? You can barely afford the rent, but can you afford the electricity and gas bills? What shall we eat and drink
“Auntie,”
I turned my head and looked at the miserable old aunt and the timid but lovely little Wu Rui, and patted her chest with confidence: “Auntie! You don’t have to worry about the house, cousin. You don’t have to go out to work. I’ll take care of the house
