Chapter 29: Randomly Pointing at Mandarin Ducks

I took Xi Meizhu to the city again.

This time I can't stay in the hotel, implementing the store is not a matter of one or two days, I have to save money, the best way to save money is to live in my own home. But it is impossible for two people to live in my home at once. My old father has worked hard all his life, and finally earned a room and a half. This room and a half has no property rights, just a household account room.

I took Xi Meizhu home, my old mother looked at the watery Meizhu, thought it was her daughter-in-law, pulled Meizhu and kept counting me, saying that I forgot my mother when I went to the countryside. I was annoyed by her, and it was not good to interrupt her, so I let her say it. I accompanied my old father to sit on the small chair in front of the door and smoke fine white sand.

My old father fought all his life, from the north to the south, and what he never changed was smoking dry tobacco. He looked down on my fine white sand. He muttered: "That's water smoke, no smoke taste, and expensive, one root is two cents! Not worth it."

I said to my old father: "Dad, this cigarette has a filter, less nicotine, smoking is healthy. Besides, I am a manager of any size now, do you know? Some managers are more expensive than my two boxes of cigarettes."

Dad didn't move, and smoked his old dry tobacco.

I took out 20,000 yuan from the bag, and I said to him: "This is a little money I earned, you keep it for flowers. If you have any difficulties, call me." I took out my mobile phone and reported the number to him.

My old father didn't take my money, turned his head and shouted to my mother in the house.

My mother came out with a full smile, looking at the money in my hand, and opened her mouth in shock. She hugged my head and asked me anxiously: "Boy, where did so much money come from?"

I smiled and said: "Just accept it. In a word, clean!"

Mother still looked at me in disbelief, Meizhu followed out, explained it again, held my mother's hand and said: "Auntie, don't worry, Manager Chen is the general manager of our township company."

Mother looked at me from head to toe in disbelief, grabbed the money and handed it to Meizhu, saying: "Girl, you keep it! It will be yours sooner or later, it's better to keep it yourself than to put it here."

Meizhu blushed and looked at me.

I smiled sheepishly and said: "Old mother, what are you doing, scaring people. Little Xi is an employee of our company!"

Mother paused, smiled to herself, and handed the money to me again, saying: "You keep it for yourself, your father and I are decades old, don't need it. As long as you come back to see these two old bones often, it's enough!"

Mother's words made my eyes a little wet. I am a bit sorry for my mother's thoughts. My mother is a lady from a big family, the daughter of a big family. My father fought all the way, and finally after destroying the bandits in western Hunan, he wanted to be demobilized. Originally, my father hoped to return to his hometown in the northeast, but there was no one left in the family. My lonely father was arranged by his chief to stay in Hengyue City with his distant cousin, that is, my mother. My mother cried bitterly at the sickbed, her old parents, that is, my maternal grandparents, were the shopkeepers of five pharmacies before liberation, and were exiled to the countryside after liberation. My mother, who was studying in the city, took refuge with her cousin.

Father looked at my mother who was crying heartbrokenly at the sickbed, and said to the old chief: "Even if I lose my life, I will not let the old chief worry."

The old chief passed away in my father's promise, and my mother, who was also lonely, followed my father to help handle the cousin's funeral. A few years later, she became my mother.

After the old chief left, my father had been frustrated, and my old father, who was born in a peasant family, had serious doubts about the propaganda of 10,000 catties per mu, and the result was that he was demoted from the organ to the casting factory and died in his life.

I am their pride! Although I was naughty as a teenager, I read books very well and was an example for many families. After graduating from university, I almost copied my father's old path, a change that they didn't expect, so life is proud, only in the morning and evening.

I put the money on the chair, and I said to my old father and mother: "We are leaving, there are still many things that haven't been handled well! Don't worry, I will come back to see you often."

I went out without looking back.

As soon as I went out, I felt my tears flooding like a broken embankment.

Meizhu followed me silently. I was embarrassed to let her see my tears, I said: "Meizhu, don't mind my mother's words! She is old, don't take some words to heart, okay?"

Meizhu bit her lip and said: "Auntie didn't say anything? What do I mind?"

I smiled indifferently.

Meizhu suddenly sighed faintly again and said: "I really hope to be the old lady's daughter!"

"Or you recognize my mother as a godmother!" I said: "I don't even have a sister."

Meizhu didn't answer my words, but asked me where to live at night?

I dialed my little aunt's phone with full confidence.

Little aunt is still at work. Hearing that I have arrived in the city, she asked me to wait for her at her unit, and we will eat outside after work and then go back.

I told her that I also brought a colleague.

Little aunt was silent for a while and asked me if it was a man or a woman?

I said: "It's a girl! Named Meizhu."

Little aunt told me not to go to her unit, let me buy some vegetables at the vegetable market first, and then come back to cook after she gets off work.

I have the key to my little aunt's house. This key has been kept in my hands since she had a house.

I went to the market to buy a fish, some braised dishes, and bought a few bottles of beer. After thinking about it, I bought another bottle of apple vinegar.

Back at my little aunt's house, I greeted Meizhu to sit, poured her a cup of tea, turned on the TV, and let her watch. I said to Meizhu: "My little aunt will come back after work, you sit. I'll squint!" Taking advantage of my little aunt not coming back yet, I slept first.

Entering my little aunt's bedroom, it was still as clean and elegant as ever, making me pleasing to the eye.

Lying on the bed with my little aunt's faint fragrance, I remembered the brilliant red flower of Wu Qian, and my heart began to jump inexplicably. Opposite the bed is a photo of my little aunt with boundless wind and moon, with a faint and gentle smile.

I found my little aunt's diary under the pillow, all of which were trivial things, and felt very boring, and fell asleep heavily.

When I woke up, I saw my little aunt sitting by the bed, organizing my messy clothes. Little aunt glanced at me lightly and said: "Awake?"

I sat up. Little aunt handed me pants, pretending to be very casual and said: "If you are big, you have to be sensible!"

I pouted and said: "Don't always have an adult face, okay?"

Little aunt pursed her lips and smiled and said: "In front of you, I am an adult. Little fart child." She playfully threw the pants at me.

I laughed helplessly. My little aunt, beautiful as a flower, boundless wind and moon.

"Get up and eat! Meizhu has already cooked it, this little girl's craft is good, color, fragrance and taste are all complete." Little aunt smiled and leaned close to my head, asking mysteriously: "Your object?"

I said faintly: "Do you look like it?"

"How is it not like?" Little aunt laughed: "The wild flowers from Suxi Township are the most suitable for our little Feng's appetite."

I was embarrassed, deliberately pretending to be angry and said: "Little aunt, you are randomly pointing at mandarin ducks, okay?"

"Did I point it?" Little aunt tilted her head and looked at me and smiled, her eyes were full of teasing: "I think, compared with Wu Qian, each has its own merits."

"Nonsense!" I panicked and put on my pants and got out of bed.

This action we have maintained for more than 20 years, from the first time I pulled her hair while lying in my little aunt's arms when I was a child, every time I was angry, I must repeat the old trick.

Little aunt really started to beg for mercy, whispering in her mouth: "Little ancestor, there is someone outside, you are not afraid of others laughing?"

"Still nonsense?" I didn't let go, and I didn't let go at all.

"Okay, okay!" Little aunt glanced at the bedroom door, the door was tightly closed, and the sound of TV came from the door crack.

I let go, such a fight, every time it makes us satisfied.

I hugged my little aunt's waist and opened the door and went out.

Dinner was very rich, I drank three bottles of beer in the evening, and felt that I was a little slightly drunk.

Meizhu went to bed early, sat for a while after eating and entered the room. My aunt and I sat on the sofa watching TV, I told my aunt the purpose of our coming to the city, I said I wanted to live in her house for a few days first, and I would leave after the store was implemented.

Little aunt poked my head and said: "I dislike you? You want to live as long as you want, still polite? It's just the little girl, is it convenient or not?"

I hugged my little aunt's waist and said: "Don't worry! She is an employee of our company, I can arrange whatever I want! Besides, in your place, is there anything inconvenient?"

Little aunt stared at the TV and asked me: "I heard you have a child?"

I denied it and said: "Who is talking nonsense! I haven't grown up yet!"

Little aunt laughed, turned her head and stared at my eyes and said: "Don't lie to me! You kid really grew up! Your Meizhu told me everything. Of course, I don't believe her words very much, but, you must pay attention in the future, some things can't be impulsive!"

I took a sip of water. I hated Xi Meizhu in my heart, little girl, how long have you known my little aunt, you dare to pocket my things, what exactly do you want to do?

Seeing me silent, little aunt stood up and said: "Don't think about it, do it! Young people, there will always be impulses, if there is no impulse, it is not normal!" She laughed lightly, pointed to Meizhu's room: "Little girl, it seems that she is very interested in you!"

My face was all red, I said: "Little aunt, don't talk nonsense, she is only how old!"

"Eighteen! Adult!" Little aunt finished, brushed her hair and said: "Wash and sleep! I will take you to the Industry and Commerce Bureau tomorrow, I have a classmate there. I won't go to taxation, you make a phone call to Wu Qian, her husband works in the tax bureau."

I stood up, shook her hand very seriously and said: "Thank you, little aunt comrade, the four thousand people in Suxi Township will remember you."

Little aunt pulled out her hand, scolded and laughed: "Poor mouth! Don't remember me, I'm afraid of having nightmares. Four thousand pairs of farmers' eyes staring at me at night, can I still live?"

Little aunt entered the room. ===== CHAPTER 30 =====

The Aunt pulled her hand away and scolded with a laugh, "You glib talker! Don't keep me in mind; I'm afraid of having nightmares. With four thousand pairs of farmers' eyes staring at me at night, how could I even survive?"

The Aunt went into the room.
