Chapter 4 Men
But in this case, he had to reluctantly agree, thinking about how to persuade Tang Jiajia to give up the opportunity to teach in the United States.
To be honest, he really can't bear to leave this sensible girl.
In the past, Jiajia was at home, and she might be able to eat hot porridge and rice every now and then. She didn't have to look at the buffet and takeaway every day. Tang Jiajia inherited all the advantages of her mother. Almost all the bedding and clothes at home were washed by him. Every day, when Su Ya Su Xue played games, chatted and watched TV series in the room, this girl always I'm busy.
Sometimes Su Ya, Su Xue and Pan Hongsheng are a little embarrassed. Sometimes they wash the clothes and prepare the food in advance, but Tang Jiajia is always idle and always has to find something to do.
I haven't seen Aunt Tang for a long time. She has gained some weight, but she doesn't look strong.
After all, he is almost 50 years old. He is already older than Jiajia's father. Because of the suffering over the years, he looks older.
Every time I see Aunt Tang, Pan Hongsheng always feels a little upset: Why doesn't he know how to cherish such a good woman surnamed Tang?
"Xiao Pan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have really become a young man." Aunt Tang actually had a sense of distance when she saw Pan Hongsheng, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and she was very nervous when she spoke.
"Mom, why are you polite to him?" Tang Jiajia still looks like a little girl in front of her mother: "Why do you have too many wrinkles? Do you use the cosmetics I sent you? That's what I bought with my hard-working money..."
"Oh, mom is old. It's useless to use anything." Aunt Tang looked at Jiao Didi's daughter and Pan Hongsheng, who was in high spirits, and a complex expression appeared on her face: "Jiajia, I'm not talking about you. You always don't come back abroad. Mom is very worried. I'm really afraid that those foreign devils will bully you! Come back soon. Isn't it almost a year? You are about to finish your studies..."
"Mom... Who dares to bully me!" Tang Jiajia's two small hands crossed his waist: "I learned a few tricks with Hong Sheng! Three or five people can't get close!"
Pan Hongsheng always had a faint smile on his face and didn't say a word.
He felt the relationship between mother and daughter, and even felt what they were thinking now.
There is no doubt that Tang Jiajia wants to take her mother to the United States. She wants to prove her ability, to prove that she can take good care of herself, and to prove that her mother's efforts to cultivate her over the years have not been in vain.
"Mom, Hongsheng has something to say to you..." Tang Jiajia kicked the ball to Pan Hongsheng silently.
"Ah? Oh..." Pan Hongsheng was a little caught off guard and had to pretend to be calm in the face of Tang's mother's doubtful eyes: "This... Aunt Tang, in fact, this is also what Jiajia means. She has received unanimous praise in the school and is appreciated by the professor. She has been appointed to stay in school to teach."
"What! Really?" Unexpectedly, Tang's mother was very surprised. She hugged her daughter's face and smiled like an old **: "I knew that my Jiajia is the best!" Mom is so proud of you!"
Pan Hongsheng felt that something was tearing his heart. This scene was a warm picture for others, but it was very cruel to him.
The image of his mother is not branded in his heart at all, and even he doesn't have this concept. When something touches this ** zone, he always feels breathless.
"Hong Sheng, what's wrong with you?" It's still Tang Jiajia's comparison **. The lingering light at the corners of his eyes found Pan Hongsheng, who covered his chest and gasped.
"I, I'm fine. I'm a little chest tight." Pan Hongsheng walked out of the house and went to the balcony without looking back.
The balcony of Tang's mother's house is very narrow and cramped. Over the years, she has been pulling Tang Jiajia alone. Aunt Tang seems to be very miserable, which can be seen from the clothes hanging on the balcony.
Those clothes have small holes and obvious folds, indicating that these clothes have been passed down for a long time, but Aunt Tang still has no intention of changing them.
It is reasonable to say that Tang Jiajia can basically be self-sufficient in work and study. Pan Hongsheng also helps her with a large amount of money without telling Tang Jiajia every month. It should not be so careless.
He carefully observed the things in the room and saw that they were all the furniture he saw when he came to the Tang family when he was in middle school. Over the years, there has been almost nothing added to this house.
"Bum bang bang!" At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and the voice was very heavy and rude.
"Oh! I guess it's a wrong knock!" Tang's mother's face suddenly became very unnatural and nervous. She pushed the two away in a hurry: "You go to the inner room, I..."
Pan Hongsheng didn't say anything and opened the door directly.
"So slow! What are you doing in the house? Raising a treacherous husband?" The comer's wine is so strong, but the swollen face is very familiar.
Tandy!
Pan Hongsheng almost blurted out! But when the other party saw him, he was so scared that he hugged his head and ran away. When Tang Jiajia saw this scene, he suddenly rushed into her mother's arms and cried: "Mom! Why is he still pestering you? Did you give him the money? The money I send you every month, and you have drugged him?"
"No, he doesn't smoke anymore, just drinks a little wine..." Although Tang's mother tried her best to pretend to be indifferent, two tears had spilled.
Pan Hongsheng didn't know what to say. He didn't expect Tang Di to fall to this extent. After that hard rectification, he actually returned to Jinjiang, and he didn't know how to repent.
"Don't worry, auntie, he will never come back to harass you again!" Pan Hongsheng looked at it tentatively and said, "Are you still a little unbearable?"
"Yes, Xiao Pan... Auntie let you laugh again. Although he is not a person, he is still Jiajia's father!" Tang's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and was stubbornly unwilling to show her timid side in front of outsiders.
Tang Jiajia was crying and couldn't breathe, but she tore her voice and roared, "Mom! You are so stupid! You are so stupid! It's better for him to die like this! Let him destroy himself! If you have strong hands and feet, where can you find a job? Can't find a mouthful of rice? Is it a man who depends on you every month?
"Jiajia! Don't talk about your father like that!" Tang's mother suddenly became serious: "No matter what he is, he is your father. You must always remember this. Although he failed us and abandoned us, he has made our mother suffer a lot over the years... But you have a father's child, remember this."
"It's better not to have such a father!" I always thought he was dead!" Tang Jiajia's voice was very penetrating. Suddenly, Pan Hongsheng heard someone choked in the corridor, and then there was a rapid footsteps.
Could it be... Tang Di didn't go far? Did he hear the curse of his daughter?
It's really a big blow to be cursed to death by your own daughter. As a man, the most intimate one should be his daughter, but...
No matter how humble and obscene the soul is, it will have a soft side.
This man, who is paralyzed by drugs, alcohol and failure, has at least a piece of pure land in his heart that is left to his daughter whom he has almost never met.
He hardly really watched his daughter grow up. He didn't sit down and talk to his daughter well. His daughter grew up and appeared in front of him unpreparedly.
Pan Hongsheng didn't catch up. He knew that this man might never come back.
What you can't do with your fists and intimidation by force was done by Tang Jiajia's words.
"Mom! Let's get out of here! That's why I came back!" Tang Jiajia has been overwhelmed by anger and has no sense of proportion: "I'm going to take you to the United States!" Where can this man never find you? He can't harass you. We can live a quiet life..."
"I'm not going!" As expected, Tang's mother's tone was very resolute: "Jiajia, you have also grown up. If you are willing to stay abroad, although your mother is very distressed and worried, she will not stop you. As for me, I am old and I don't want to adapt to the new environment. Actually, I'm doing well!"
There are many waste cartons in the corner, as well as half-finished handicrafts.
Pan Hongsheng knows what it is. Many people who do odd jobs choose this method of processing handicrafts to earn extra money. They may earn 500-800 yuan a month.
Only then did Pan Hongsheng understand why Tang's mother, who had always been strong, refused her monthly money. It turned out that she was still supporting Tang Di, the bastard.
I always thought that Tang's mother would not live a bad life. In fact, the money was spent by Tang Di, drunk and dreamed to death, but Tang's mother still broke a penny into two halves and lived a bitter life.
Suddenly, he blamed himself a little: he only knew how to transfer money, but he never came to visit and care about Tang's mother's life in person... But it seemed that things had developed in the direction he hoped. Tang Jiajia saw that her mother had made up her mind and gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, if you don't go, I won't go!" I want to be with you! Don't let you suffer any more grievances or bullying!"
"Good boy... Mom, I'm sorry..." Tang's mother hugged Tang Jiajia and cried silently, which made Pan Hongsheng's heart sour. She silently retreated to the door and lit a cigarette.
His whole body was covered by smoke in an instant, and he couldn't see any expression.
