Chapter 2 Home
It's already past 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the surrounding shops have been closed for a long time, and the busy streets during the day have become empty at this time, and this time is not suitable for continuing to wander around! Especially girls, they should not appear alone on the street. Anyway, it's still a little unsafe! Some are not reassuring! But Anxin is still walking slowly on the street!
I just got off work from my place of work. Although I'm used to being busy, I'm still a little tired! I really want to go home and have a good rest, but... home really makes me not know how to repay him! With a father, a mother, and a younger brother, this should be a very happy family of four, but why can't you sigh every time you mention him?
Forget it! Don't think about it anymore. Today, it has affected my mood because of school events! I'm already uncomfortable! Don't worry about these things!
Under the faint light emitted by the old street lights, I quickly walked home! Anyway, that's her home!
Old communities, dilapidated residential buildings, mottled walls, staggered wires, dirty garbage are piled up everywhere. Even if people can't see it at night, they can't ignore its existence, because even if it is far away, you can smell its rotten smell!
Carefully go up the steps step by step. There is no light in the corridor. If you don't want to fall, be careful every step you take. Fortunately, her eyes are still good. She can see the blurred appearance of the steps, and finally went up to the fourth floor with peace of mind!
Gently insert the key into the keyhole and slowly turn "Cock!" The door lock was opened! The room is not dark. In the narrow living room, my mother has fallen asleep on the table, but the lamp with a faint light around her is still on! Keep the lamp for peace of mind! The dim yellow light shone on my mother's haggard face! Even in her sleep, the mother still frowned, and at this time, her heart was indescribably uncomfortable! Years of illness have tortured my mother to death! But she didn't have enough money for her mother to go to the hospital for a check-up, which has always been a pain in her heart.
Gently turned around and closed the door, trying not to make too much noise to disturb my mother, but it seemed that I felt someone coming back, or woke up at this time, and my mother slowly opened her eyes! Seeing that Anxin came back, he immediately smiled and said, "I'm back!" Mom left you a meal. It may be cold now. Mom will heat you up again!"
"No, Mom!" I can safely stop my mother who is ready to enter the kitchen and say, "I'll be hot by myself!" Go back to rest! Besides, you don't have to wait for me anymore! Go to bed early!" My mother's body can't tolerate staying up so late, but she has been stubbornly waiting to go home every night to rest!
"How can mom sleep if you don't come back!" Yes! How can a mother be relieved when her daughter is away! And I still have to walk at night to come back in the middle of the night! Children as old as Anxin are reviewing wholeheartedly for the exam, but she works while going to school. She can't give her children of the same age a happy life. The mother already feels very guilty, and her mother's body does not allow her to pick up Anxin, so she must insist on waiting for Anxin to get home safely before going to bed. This is the only thing her incompetent mother can do!
"Mom!" I know that my mother is thinking about those bad things again. "Don't worry! I'm fine! That's right!" Anxin took out the salary given by the boss today from his schoolbag. "I got 800 yuan today!" Happy to give it to my mother, "Don't worry about this month's rent!"
"Hmm!" The mother took the money with a smile, but her heart was very sour, and tears began to swirl in her eyes. Every time she paid her salary to get money from home, An's mother felt sorry for her daughter and let her run outside, but she, as a mother, stayed at home all day! Her heart is really uncomfortable!
But at this moment, a violent knock on the door suddenly sounded, which looked particularly harsh on this quiet night!
And An's mother immediately showed a panicked expression, and then hurriedly put the money into her pocket, knowing that it was Dad's back!
"Bum! Bang! Bang!" With the violent knock on the door and his father's rude dirty words, Anxin quickly opened the door. If he didn't open the door, the neighbor's scolding would appear! This is an old residential area. The sound insulation is very bad. There are some big noises around you can hear it, and no one will be happy to disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night!
As soon as I opened the door, a strong smell of wine suddenly came to my face, making An unconsciously frown! My father drank again. Although he had already guessed this, Anxin still felt very sad! When can I see my father's sober face when I open the door?
He stumbled into the door and fell down in less than two steps. He hurried to help his father up but was pushed down fiercely. "Get out!"
Seeing that her daughter was pushed down, An's mother quickly came forward and helped her up. She asked worriedly, "Reassuring!" How's it going?"
"I'm fine, Mom!" He shook his head and stood up from the ground at ease, but his feet seemed to be a little twisted, but in order not to worry his mother, he stood up quietly with his mother's help!
"What is this?" My father suddenly said, and then took something out of my mother's pocket! That's the 800 yuan that Anxin just gave to his mother! Since An's mother bent down when she stood up from the ground just now, her father happened to see the money in the hem of her coat!
At the sight of Qian's father, he immediately laughed and showed an excited expression on his face, "I have money to turn over the book again!" The tone is full of madness!
"You can't bet on this money!" An's mother reached out to grab the 800 yuan. That's the hard-earned money, and it's also this month's room fee. How can you bet it! If you lose, there will be nothing left!
"Get out of here!" Reaching out her hand and pulling her mother aside, she was not in good health. She was pushed and fell down and coughed violently!
"Mom! Mom! Mom, are you all right?" He said anxiously. Seeing that my mother's coughing face turned red, but it couldn't help, and her face was full of worry!
"Money! I can't...cough! Take the money away! Peace of mind...cough!" An's mother signaled that she didn't care about herself and quickly snatch back the money in her father's hand, otherwise her hard work this month would be gone! It's time to pay the rent the day after tomorrow. If the money is taken away, what should I do then? The landlord did not want them to continue to live, because his father always came back late at night and made a lot of noise every time. Moreover, his family was always noisy because his father was often uneasy. The neighbors have reported to the landlord many times. After all, no one wants to be neighbors with people who quarrel all day long. Because of this It's very impatient. If the landlord is in arrears with the house price, he will definitely kick them out! Then where should they live?
"Dad! You can't take this money!" In order not to make my mother excited, I had to grab money with my father first. "Dad! This money is to pay the rent!" Before she could lean forward, her father pushed her into a stagget again! The faintly painful foot is even tighter now, but if it delays my father, he is about to go out, so he insists to lean forward again, "Dad!" This time, my father directly reached out and slapped Anxin!
The sound of "pop" is particularly loud! A clear five fingerprints suddenly appeared on the white face of Anxin!
And my father shook downstairs happily with the 800 yuan he had earned and went to gamble again!
"Peace of mind! Cough! Cough!" At the sight of her daughter being beaten, Ann's mother was even more emotional and struggled to stand up, but she coughed even more!
Tears swirled in her eyes because of this slap, and her nose was also a little sore, but she couldn't shed tears. If she cried, her mother would only be more sad. She closed her eyes and endured the tears in her eyes! Mom, I'm fine!" He turned around and comforted his mother, "Take the money away!" I'll just earn it again!"
Looking at her daughter with a calm expression, An's mother couldn't speak. How much effort did it take to resist letting it fall! Peace of mind is so sensible that it even makes people feel sad!
