Reckless Youth of Delinquency

Text Chapter 214, Cold Home

"Stop, stop!" I shouted hurriedly.

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

I rushed down, and the driver's voice floated behind me: "I'll wait for you for five minutes at most, even if you take a shit!"

I got out of the car and went straight to the street corner. Zhou Mo didn't seem to expect that I would come down, and was looking at me dumbfounded. I rushed over, spread out my arms and hugged her, and said happily, "You're here to see me off, right?" Zhou Mo seemed stunned 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 so much 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 brother? Apart from 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 little bitter: "Go home quickly. When school starts, we won't know whether we are friends or enemies."

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

"No." Zhou Mo shook his head: "No one is forcing me. It's just that our seven dragons and six phoenixes are a whole, and we all prosper and suffer. Wang Hao, our relationship is not good enough for me and my brothers and sisters to break up. to the point, do you understand?”

I looked at Zhou Mo blankly, 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... In comparison, who am I?

"Goodbye." Zhou Mo curled his lips slightly, showed a polite smile, and turned around.

I was looking at Zhou Mo's back in a daze when the bus driver's roaring voice came from behind: "If you don't come back, I'll leave!"

I had no choice but to turn around and leave, but before I had taken 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.

If you indulge briefly, it will disappear; if you taste it briefly, you will stop.

With just a slight tap, Zhou Mo's body had already moved away, three or four steps away from me. I was surprised to find that her face was already covered with tears! This scene is so familiar. That time at Laotang Yabao, when I pushed away the heavy fog with my hands, I saw the same face full of tears! Only that time, I thought it was an illusion!

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

I looked at her back until she was getting further and further away. The girl with short burgundy hair finally disappeared. But her words "Wang Hao, goodbye" and that gentle kiss are still lingering in my heart.

It wasn't until a long time ago that 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 found an empty seat to sit down, my mind was completely blank.

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

"Mom!" I shouted and walked quickly to my mother. The mother turned her head and said with surprise: "Haohao, you are back!" The mother was wearing a blue cleaner's uniform, and the hand holding the broom was wearing a pair of torn gloves, with several fingers protruding. out. After not seeing each other for many days, my mother’s white hair has become more gray, and her face has been filled with vicissitudes of life.

"Mom..." I felt a pain in my heart, and at the same time I made a decision. I must make money as soon as possible so that my mother can get out of the current situation as soon as possible. "Haohao, come home quickly. It's cold outside. Are you hungry? I'll go back and cook for you after sweeping this road." My mother pushed me and drove me towards home. I grabbed my mother's broom and said, "Mom, please rest, I'll help you sweep it!"

"Hey, how can this be done? You will go to college in the future, how can you do this..." My mother came to snatch my broom again.

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

Then my mother stopped and stood aside, watching me sweep, and at the same time commanding: "This way, this way, that way, that way."

The road is actually not dirty, so just sweep away the remaining dust. While I was scanning, 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 and I could earn fifty yuan a day."

"Where is it?"

"In Beiyuan." Mother said, "He never went to see you. He said he didn't have decent clothes. He was afraid that he would embarrass you if he went to school. He couldn't let your classmates look down on you."

My heart hurt even more, but I said, "What's the matter? He has too many worries. How could my classmates just look down on me because of this?" In fact, this is really the case in schools now. Students interact with each other. Comparison, whose father is rich or whose father is an official, will immediately be different and arrogant among classmates; while those whose fathers are ordinary people or whose family conditions are worrying, will be inferior in front of other classmates. Can't hold my head up. This situation is especially true in schools, 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: "Let's take winter vacation this time. How did the exam go?"

I had already thought about how to answer, so I said: "I had diarrhea during the exam, so I didn't take the exam. The head teacher said that I can just make up the exam after school starts. Don't worry, Mom, with my current level, I will be among the top three in the class." Absolutely no problem." I was not bragging when I said this. In the class at Beiqi, it was very easy to get into the top three. If you were in Chenggao, you wouldn't be so sure.

My mother's smile turned into a flower: "I knew you must have the ability. It will shine no matter which school you go to."

Seeing my mother's happy face, I felt ashamed 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 work on the construction site has stopped. He is responsible for looking after the factory."

After sweeping the area that my mother was responsible for, the sky was already dark. My mother and I carried the tools and went home. When I got home, my mother didn't take a break and started cooking for me. After a while, she brought me a steaming bowl of noodle soup with two poached eggs lying on the bottom of the bowl. On the other hand, my mother was nibbling steamed buns and pickles, and said with a smile: "I am used to eating this!"

I grabbed my mother's bowl, put the noodle soup in front of her, turned around and ate it hungrily. "Why are you kid..." My mother wanted to change the bowl back, but I naturally refused. I finished the steamed buns in three mouthfuls. She turned around and said, "I'm full. Mom, please eat quickly." Then she turned on the TV. Looked up. Mother had no choice but to eat the noodle soup.

I looked at the small color TV at home that was more than ten years old, then at the wardrobe that was slightly yellowed due to age, and at the dining table that could only hold four dishes at most... It was very cold at home, and it was winter now. , can only rely on burning briquettes to keep warm. There was a stove in the center of the living room. I went over to open the lid and saw a dying briquette inside. I calmly picked up the tongs and added a briquette. In fact, I also know that no matter how bright the stove is, this home will always be cold, because the surrounding walls are filled with wind and the heat cannot gather at all. Of course the house built by one's own family is not as warm as the building.

I opened the damper of the stove so that the briquettes could burn faster. My 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 it, I must endure it. Without my father, I am the backbone of this family. "Mom, take the 50,000 yuan that dad won last time and buy a building to live in."

"No, no." My mother immediately rejected my opinion, "That's for you to go to college."

"It doesn't cost much for me to go to college. Besides, I can also do a work-study program, which is popular in universities now."

"There is still a wife to marry." The mother said, "Don't be like that kid from the old Zhang family. He is over thirty and has not yet married a wife. Isn't it because he has no money?"

I said dumbfounded: "How old am I? I am only in my first year of high school, and it will be three years before I take the college entrance examination. It will take another four years to go to college, and then a few more years to work, so almost ten years have passed. You must be too anxious. Besides, it’s not like we’re not making 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, you can't touch the 50,000 yuan. It's our family's capital."

I know I can't convince my mother. People of their generation have been poor all their lives and don't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts. They live life step by step. I touched my pocket, and there was still 8,000 yuan in it. I must find a way to give it to my mother so that she could reduce some of the burden.
