bad youth

Chapter 214, The Cold Home

"Stop, stop!" I yelled hastily.

"You can't stop until you reach the stop." The driver said with a straight face, and then continued to refuel smoothly.I rushed to the front of the car immediately, took out ten yuan and handed it to him: "Just stop, I have something to do!" The driver then stepped on the brake, took the money and said, "I'm not here for you. I see that you are really in a hurry..." Then he put the money in his pocket and opened the car door.

I ran down, and the driver's voice floated behind me: "I'll wait for you for 5 minutes at most, it's enough to take a shit!"

I got out of the car and headed straight for the corner.Zhou Mo didn't seem to expect that I would come down, and was looking at me dumbfounded.I rushed over, spread my arms and hugged her, and said happily, "Are you here to see me off?" Zhou Mo seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and said, "That's right."

I let go of Zhou Mo, grabbed her shoulders and said, "I knew you wouldn't fight me with them!"

Zhou Mo looked at me blankly: "Why do you have such confidence?"

I said happily: "Because we are good friends!"

"It's as simple as being a good friend?"

"Hmm..." I said hesitantly, "Is that a good buddy? A good buddy? Besides Ye Zhan, I trust you the most in Beiqi!"

Zhou Mo's body seemed to shake, and the expression on his face became a little stiff.I asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Mo smiled, but I always felt that her smile was a bit bitter: "Go home quickly. When school starts, we won't know whether we are friends or enemies."

"Ah?!" I looked at her in astonishment: "Why? Did Hou Shengshuo force you?"

"No." Zhou Mo shook his head: "No one forced me. It's just that our seven dragons and six phoenixes are a whole, one prospers and one loses. Wang Hao, our relationship is not good enough for me and my brothers and sisters to tear each other apart." the point, do you understand?"

I stared blankly at Zhou Mo, feeling a sense of sadness in my heart for no reason.Yes, I have only been with Zhou Mo for more than two months. She and her brothers and sisters have been together for many years...Compared to this, what am I?

"Goodbye." Zhou Mo twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a polite smile, and turned away.

I was staring at Zhou Mo's back in a daze, when the bus driver roared behind me: "If I don't come back, I'll leave!"

I had no choice but to turn around and leave. Before taking two steps, I heard a voice behind me: "Wang Hao!" I turned around again, and Zhou Mo was running towards me.Before I had time to react, Zhou Mo had already thrown himself into my arms and kissed my lips.

A little vertical, fleeting; a little taste, no end.

With just such a light tap, Zhou Mo's body has retreated, three or four steps away from me.I was surprised to find that her face was covered with tears!This scene is so familiar, that time in the old soup duck pot, I used my hands to push away the heavy fog, and what I saw was such a tear-stained face!Only that time, I thought it was a hallucination!

"Wang Hao, goodbye." After Zhou Mo said this, he turned and left.

I looked at her back until it got farther and farther away.The girl with short wine-red hair disappeared in the end.But her words "Wang Hao, goodbye" and that gentle kiss are still lingering in my heart.

It was a long time before I turned around numbly, and the bus was gone.I walked along the road to the next stop, waited for a bus bound for Dongguan Town, got on the bus and sat down at random, my mind was completely blank.

I don't know how long it took, the conductor was urging the bus in Dongguan Town to get off, and I got out of the car in a slump. Looking at the familiar plants and trees around me, I didn't have time to worry about the spring and autumn, and walked quickly towards home.It was still the same slum, where the low bungalows were arranged in an orderly manner. As I was walking, I suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of me, hunched over, sweeping the street with a broom in hand.I remember my mother saying that she would get a job as a cleaner, and she didn't expect to do it so quickly.

"Mom!" I yelled, and walked quickly to my mother.The mother turned her head and said with a pleasant surprise: "Haohao, you are back!" The mother was wearing a blue uniform of a cleaner, and a pair of gloves with holes in the hand holding the broom, and several fingers were protruding. out.I haven't seen her for many days, and my mother's white hair has grown a little more, and a lot of vicissitudes have been added to her face.

"Mom..." I felt a pain in my heart, and at the same time, I made a decision to make money as soon as possible so that my mother could get out of the current situation as soon as possible. "Haohao, hurry home, it's cold outside. Are you hungry? I'll go back and cook for you after sweeping the road." My mother pushed me and drove me towards home.I snatched my mother's broom, "Mom, take a break, I'll clean it for you!"

"Hey, how can this work? You are going to go to college in the future, how can you do this..." My mother came to grab my broom again.

"Mom!" I pushed her away: "What does this have to do with college entrance exams. You work hard every day, so let me sweep for you for a while."

My mother just put her hands away, stood aside and watched me sweep, and at the same time commanded: "This way, this way, that way."

The road is actually not dirty, just sweep the remaining dust.While sweeping, I chatted with my mother first.

"Where's my dad?"

"I went out to work. I said I found a job on a construction site. I can earn 50 yuan a day."

"Where is it?"

"In Beiyuan." Mother said: "He hasn't looked for you all this time, saying that he doesn't have decent clothes. He is afraid that going to school will embarrass you, so you can't let your classmates look down on you."

My heart hurt even more, but I said on my mouth: "What's the matter, he worries too much, how can the classmates look down on me casually because of this." Comparing, whose father is rich, whose father is an official, will be different immediately, and he will be arrogant among his classmates; while those whose fathers are ordinary people, or whose family conditions are worrying, will be arrogant in front of other classmates. Can't hold my head up.This is especially the case in school, because everyone is young at heart and doesn't know how to restrain their words and deeds. Everything is naked and crueler than society.

My mother asked me again: "It's winter vacation this time. How did you do in the exam?"

I had already figured out how to answer, so I said, "I just had diarrhea during the exam, so I didn't take the exam. The teacher in charge said that we can just make up the exam after school starts. Don't worry, mom, with my current level, I will be admitted to the top three in the class." Absolutely no problem." This is not bragging, in the class of Beiqi, it is very easy to get into the top three, if you are in Chenggao, you will not be so sure.

Mother laughed like a flower: "I knew you must have the ability, it is gold that will shine no matter which school you go to."

Seeing my mother's happy face, I felt ashamed instead, and quickly changed the subject: "When will Dad come back?"

"It's almost the end of the year." My mother said, "It's winter now, and the construction site has been closed. He's just in charge of looking at the factory."

After sweeping the area that my mother was in charge of, the sky was already dark, and my mother and I went home with tools.When I got home, my mother didn't rest for a while, she was busy cooking for me, and after a while, she brought me a bowl of steaming noodle soup with two poached eggs lying on the bottom of the bowl.On the other hand, my mother, eating steamed buns and eating pickles, smiled and said, "I'm used to eating this!"

I snatched my mother's bowl, put the noodle soup in front of her, turned my head and started to gobble it up. "What about you kid..." My mother wanted to change the bowl back, but I naturally refused, so I finished the steamed buns in three or two bites, turned my head and said, "I'm full, mom, eat quickly." Then I turned on the TV. looked up.Mother had no choice but to eat the noodle soup.

I looked at the small color TV that was more than ten years old at home, then at the wardrobe that was slightly yellowed because of the age, and at the dining table that could only hold four dishes at most... It was very cold at home, and it was winter , can only rely on burning briquettes for heating.There is a stove in the center of the living room. I went to open the lid and saw a coal ball was dying.I calmly picked up the tongs and added a coal ball.In fact, I also know that no matter how hot the stove burns, this house will always be cold, because the surrounding walls are full of wind, and the heat cannot be gathered at all.The house built by oneself is of course not as warm as the building.

I opened the damper on the stove to allow the briquettes to burn a little faster.Mother saw it and said, "It's so fast!"

I turned my back to my mother and tried very hard not to cry.I have to endure, I must endure, my father is not here, I am the pillar of the family. "Mom, take out the 5 yuan that Dad won last time, and buy a flat to live in."

"No, no." My mother immediately vetoed my opinion, "That is for you to use in college."

"It doesn't cost much for me to go to college. Besides, I can still work and study, which is popular in colleges now."

"And marrying a daughter-in-law." The mother said, "Don't be like that child in the old Zhang family. He is in his 30s and hasn't married a wife yet. Isn't it because he has no money?"

I couldn’t laugh or cry and said, “How old am I? I’m only in the first year of high school, and it’s three years after I’ve been admitted to college. I’ll have to go to college for another four years, and then I’ll have to work for a few more years. It’s been almost ten years. You are too anxious. Besides, it's not like we don't make money anymore, maybe I can make a lot of money in the future!"

"This is called taking precautions before they happen." My mother said, "Anyway, the 5 yuan cannot be moved. It is the capital of our family."

I know that I can't speak for my mother. Their generation has been poor all their lives, and they dare not have any unreasonable thoughts at all, and live their lives steadily step by step.I touched my pocket, and there was still 8000 yuan in it. I must find a way to give it to my mother so that she can reduce some of the burden.
