To succeed

Chapter 57

Wen Xin was looking up at the stars in the sky, listening to his brother Wen Sheng's useless words of emotion.Hearing her mother calling her name, Wen Xin turned around naturally, and turned her eyes to her mother standing by the small road behind the village.The mother's figure looked very thin at night, and it was a bit blurry and not very clear.But Wenxin can still recognize that it is her mother, and the most familiar thing for a child is the caring mother.

"Mom!" Wen Xin almost used a lot of strength to answer her mother's call with her immature voice.Wen Xin was a little worried, she was a little afraid that her mother would scold her.But she also felt that she and her second brother wouldn't be home in the middle of the night, which made her mother angry and worried.

Hearing the daughter's answer, the mother's uneasy heart was finally relieved.But an inexplicable anger rose again, and she even wanted to slap Wen Xin and Wen Sheng to warn them not to go back too late in the middle of the night.Although it is an era of peace, it is inevitable that there will be bad people outside at night.Talking about the existence of a very inexplicable thing, it is a bit outrageous for the child not to go home at night.Some people in the countryside are a little bit superstitious.As for the gods and ghosts, it's not clear whether they exist, really.

"Second brother! Mom is here to find us!" Wen Xin said, pulling Wen Sheng's arm.

"I heard it! Hurry up and go home!" Wen Sheng said and followed Wen Xin to the place where his mother was standing.

And Wen Xin was almost running, and Wen Sheng tried to slow down to keep up with Wen Xin.

"Mom! It's our fault!" Wen Sheng whispered to his mother with a watery face and a little apology.

"Don't go home in the middle of the night! What are you doing here? Tell me?" Mom's tone of voice was obviously a little angry.

"It's nothing! I'm afraid my father will beat me back when I get home! So I wanted to hide outside for a while, and Wen Xin just came, so we had a conversation together!" Wen Sheng explained.

"Do you know what time it is? What time is it? Will your father always remember your vengeance? It will be over after hiding for a while, and you won't come home in the middle of the night." Mom calmed down her anger a little and said.

Maybe my father won't hold any grudges against me, because he often looks like this.Maybe I will remember it!Maybe I will never forget, the former him, and some of our relatives looked down on me, am I very narrow-minded!Wen Sheng thought this way and lowered his head without speaking.

"Wen Xin! You are too. If you find your brother, don't tell him to go home!" Mom reprimanded Wen Xin as if very angry.

Wen Xin also lowered her head, she didn't dare to look at her mother's face, nor did she dare to look into her mother's eyes.Although her mother's face was not very clear at night, she knew that her mother was very angry.I heard the sound of humming coming from my mother's nose.Wen Xin's heart was beating, beating very fast.That may be a kind of nervousness, Wen Xin is a little afraid that her mother will beat them, but she also hopes that her mother will beat herself and her brother a few times, maybe such a mother will feel better.

But Mom didn't hit them, Mom calmed down her breathing.Maybe it's because of walking so many roads, maybe it's because of so many worries, maybe it's because I'm a little scared walking alone in the dark night.At the moment when she found the child, the mother's heart was at ease, and the whole space seemed much more harmonious...

"Come home with me!" Mom said in a slightly higher voice, as if she was afraid that the child would not be able to hear clearly.After she finished speaking, she took Wen Xin's hand, turned around and hurriedly walked along the path in the village.Mom's steps seem to be much stronger than before...

Wen Sheng shook his head and followed, when will a day like this be the end.Over the years, my mother has lost weight and aged a lot...

After a while, I arrived at home, a home that made people feel a little broken in my heart.Father seems to have fallen asleep, because the light in father's room was turned off.The light was still on in Wen Hao's room, and grandma sat by Wen Hao's bed and kept talking about Wen Hao in trivial words without force.

Mom took Wen Xin to the door of the house, and saw Wen Sheng's grandmother was still talking about Wen Hao.Wen Hao was lying on the bed, with half of his body leaning against the wall pasted with paintings of beautiful celebrities, and there was still a small yellow light bulb with a pointed head on the head of the bed.The light looked a little dim, but it wasn't so harsh on the eyes. Under the light, Wen Hao's funny face didn't look so dark, but Wen Hao's eyes made people look a little disturbed.

"Mom! You haven't slept yet?" Mom saw that there was still a lot of dirt on her body under the light, and said to Wen Sheng's grandma while shaking her clothes with her hands.Mom's earthy gray clothes looked very worn out, and they looked a bit too big on her body, and they didn't fit very well.These are the clothes my mother bought herself a few years ago and asked the tailors in the village to make them for me. After a few years, the clothes look worn out and much bigger...

"Where did they go?" Grandma looked at Wen Xin's upright figure, "It's dark and midnight, and I don't know how to go home, and I don't know how to be afraid!" Grandma said with a tone of reproach and complaint.

Wen Xin lowered her head halfway, leaning on her mother's body.Originally, Wen Xin's hair was tied up by her mother with a red rope, but because Wen Xin's hair was not very long, the tied hair looked like a little tail sticking out from behind.Wen Sheng didn't think it looked good, so he made it loose for her, which made it look a bit pleasant.Wen Xin's hair fell down in front, covering her eyes. Wen Xin stroked it with her small hand, and secretly looked at grandma.

"Anni! Don't be afraid! I'll just say Wen Sheng! You're an older brother, you don't know how to take your sister home when it's late! It's the middle of the night when little ghosts come and go, and bumping into that won't scare you half to death. Ah!" Grandma continued to scold Wen Sheng.

As for the ghost thing, Wen Sheng is really not afraid. In his words, I am afraid that the living will make trouble for me!Everyone is dead, I'm still afraid of a fart!What grandma said, he heard it with one ear, and it came out of the other ear.I don't really care, but it's a bit embarrassing to make grandma and mother worry about him in the middle of the night.

"Mom! It's getting late, you should go to bed early too!" Wen Sheng's mother said meekly to Wen Sheng's grandma.

"I'm going to bed! I can't go out so late in the future!" Grandma walked to the door with a walking stick and said back.Grandma's gray gown has been worn for two years, her hair is all white, and her face is full of wrinkles.The blue veins on the hands are also very prominent.Although grandma said a lot, most of them are useless, and it can be said that they are all good words.Wen Sheng's father didn't like to listen to her talk, and sometimes his mother thought grandma was a bit nagging, Wen Sheng just listened and got angry, Wen Hao soon forgot after hearing it.It's just that Wen Xin likes grandma telling her about some of the earlier things.

Sometimes in the past, my father went out to play and didn't come home very late.Grandma also went out to look for it, but every time she found it, grandma wanted to talk about Wen Sheng's father.He would be blamed endlessly by his father, and grandma would sometimes cry angrily.But next time Wen Sheng's father still didn't come home very late, she would still look for it, again and again.

Wen Sheng and Wen Xin never complained or blamed their mother, perhaps because they hadn't grown up yet, or maybe they understood their mother's good intentions.Will they learn from their father and elder brother that when they grow up, they will also blame their mother, thinking that mother is a bit annoying and useless.I don’t know, when people grow up, they may change. When they grow up, they feel that their wings are a little bit tougher, will they feel that their mother is useless.

Wen Sheng watched his grandma keep entering the house, thinking wildly, will he treat his mother badly in the future?I don't know, my mother is really bitter.Wen Sheng looked out of the lighted room, and the night was a bit dark.

"Mom! I'm hungry! Cook me something to eat!" Wen Hao patted the bed, saw his mother turning around to leave, and shouted loudly.Interrupting Wen Sheng's thoughts, Wen Sheng looked at him, and there was an inexplicable light in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant, and Wen Sheng's face returned to calm.

"Don't make it for him! He likes to eat or not!" Wen Sheng said coldly.

"You are stupid!" Wen Hao said to Wen Sheng with wide eyes.

Mom turned around and looked at Wen Hao.Her tired and haggard face frowned helplessly.
