Old things in the south

Chapter 64 Rain

The clock struck four times, it was time for Zhuzhu to come back from school, but at this time the sky was suddenly cloudy, and in an instant, the light raindrops became bigger and fell densely.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered that Zhuzhu didn't bring a raincoat and umbrella to school, what should I do?But then I thought, she will wait until the rain stops, or she will hide under the umbrella of her classmates and come back together.

But the rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if it had no intention of stopping, and there was no sound of Zhuzhu coming home and knocking on the door.I was thinking, Zhuzhu wouldn't be alone in the classroom waiting for me?Thinking of this, I felt something, "Ah, I must catch Zhuzhu!" I said in my heart, and immediately found Zhuzhu's raincoat and rain boots, took an umbrella, and almost ran out of the door to the school. run on the road.I hope I didn't go too late, and I can make it in time, so that she doesn't leave her alone... Like the time in my childhood more than twenty years ago, right? ...

It was time to leave school, and suddenly it rained heavily, and the students couldn't listen to the teacher quietly.The rain became heavier and the thunder rumbled. Everyone turned their faces towards the blackboard to the window, hoping that the rain would stop and that family members would come to pick them up.

At this time, the shadow of a classmate's mother first appeared in the window. I couldn't help but look towards that classmate. She also saw her mother. A pleasant smile appeared on her uneasy face, and she squeezed mischievously at her mother. Eyes, and then rest on the table to copy notes.

One after another, more shadows appeared in the window, and the students in the classroom also had more smiles.Some even act like dumb, making no sound, opening their mouths to face out of the window, indicating that they are calling "Mom", in order not to be heard by the teacher.

And me?I also kept looking at the window, hoping to see my mother. If I couldn't see my mother, I should also see Zhang's mother.Because when I came to school, my mother was at the poker table, and she would send Zhang's mother to pick me up.

But until the bell rang for the end of get out of class, there was still no sign of their mother or Zhang's mother.All the classmates left, only me and Xiao Shan, who had no mother, were left guarding the window, staring blankly at the playground in the rain.There was a thunder, and we hugged each other tightly, so frightened that we were about to cry.I said:
"Xiao Shan, who will pick you up?"

"Daddy does, but...he's at work too. What about you?" she asked me back.I'm not sure, but all I can say is:

"Mom will come, our home is far away." The last sentence is a lie, I want to cover it up, I'm afraid of losing face to my mother.

The two of us stopped talking, and continued to look at the playground, which became a vast ocean. I thought to myself, if I go any further, I will have to go on a boat to get there. I put my arms around Xiaoshan, and fear arose in my heart.But a boat really came from the playground, no, it was a person, a running man, at this moment Xiaoshan pushed me away and shouted: "That's Dad!"

Isn't it Xiaoshan's father?Even though he was holding an umbrella, he was all wet. The rain was too heavy.

After Xiaoshan's father entered the classroom, he opened the small bag in his hand, took out the steaming buns for Xiaoshan, and gave me one. He said:

"I bought it on the road, it's still hot, eat it before leaving!",
I shook my head and said, "Thank you Uncle, I'm not hungry at all."

I don't really feel hungry when hope turns to disappointment.Xiaoshan's father said to me again:

"Where do you live? I'll take you back."

I said sadly and stubbornly: "No, Mom will come!"

Until it got dark, there was no sign of my mother, nor did it look like the rain had stopped.I took out the notebook from my schoolbag, put it on my head, and ran out in the rain.Passing Teacher Li's house, he was leaning against the window, and when he saw me, he shouted in surprise:

"You haven't left yet?!"

I kept running out, ignoring him, because I was ashamed to say that no one at home came to pick me up.

I was completely soaked and ran into the house. The room was brightly lit, and my mother was still on the poker table. When she saw me, she scolded me: "Why did you get into this suit? Why don't you go to the kitchen and ask Mama Zhang to change it for you!"

I was really surprised and hurt by my mother's attitude. I wanted to get angry and complain to my mother first when I came in, but I didn't want her to scold me first...

"Mother!"

I was still fondly remembering, when I suddenly heard a familiar voice coming through the rain, I looked to the side of the road, ah, it turned out that my bead was hiding from the rain under the eaves of the shop, she seemed so small, she still Can't reach the shop windows.I hurried over and saw her hair was wet, her clothes were wet, her little hands were cold, and the rain was streaming down her head. When she saw me, with tears in her eyes, she smiled happily:
"I knew Mom would come!"

"Mom will come!" I echoed, putting on the pink glass raincoat for her.
