Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, sunny, with a temperature of 0-7℃ and thin ice. The morning sun has risen very high, shining into my bedroom through the glass window and onto my bed, but I can't feel much heat because my heart is cold.
Xu Yue huddled up in bed, with tears in her eyes, unwilling to get up.
Early in the morning, she heard that her mother had been making trouble in the house for a long time, and then cried non-stop. If she could have persuaded him, she would have gone out to persuade him, but she knew it was useless. Once she gets angry, her mother will not stop. She will only stop automatically when she is tired.
"I don't know how dad got into trouble with her before!"
Xu Yue also thought about calling her father, but it was useless after thinking about it. They are already divorced, and my father is so angry that he has become a Taoist priest. Do you want him to come back to persuade his ex-wife? This just doesn't make sense.
She hoped that she could become an adult early, go to high school early, and move out to live on campus. Who was tortured by her mother every day.
Xu Yue hid in the room silently, but somehow, her mother's anger was suddenly directed at her.
"What time is it now? Are you still sleeping? Are you going to piss me off?"
"Do you know how hard it is for me to raise you? How much money do I have to spend on you every day? You still get angry with me all day long!"
"Get up for me..."
He kept scolding for about ten minutes before he stopped. You must be tired after all!
Xu Yue felt sad in her heart. During the Spring Festival in previous years, although there were quarrels at home, the firepower would not be directed at her, and her father would also try to reduce her mother's anger, which would calm down after a while. But she doesn't have the ability or the patience. If her mother wants to make a noise, she just ignores it and hides in her room, regardless of whether it is spring, summer or autumn or winter.
The doorbell rang suddenly and footsteps came from outside the room. Xu Yue knew it was her mother who walked over and opened the door. After venting her anger, she finally calmed down and returned to normal. But at this time, who will come to the door? Xu Yue was a little curious.
"Why are you here? You are not welcome here. Get out of here!"
Lu Lin had just let out a burst of unknown anger. She felt a little better now that she was tired, but the pain in her heart only increased. When she heard the doorbell ringing, she didn't know who it was, and no one had told her that they would come to the door at this time, so it was a little strange. In the past, she wouldn't have opened the door so carelessly, but now she doesn't care. No matter who he is, even if he comes to rob, she doesn't care. If you want to rob, just rob. If you don't want money, if you want a life, just take it. But he didn't expect that the person knocking on the door would be Xu Zhipeng.
She got angry for no reason, glared at him fiercely, and told him to get out, but she was reluctant to close the door.
"Haha, don't forget, this home is the down payment of my family, and I have to pay the loan together, why do you let me out." Xu Zhipeng didn't show any politeness at all, and returned coldly.
"Although I have said before that I can give the house to you, I never said that I would give up. At least I want to see my daughter, and you can't stop me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"Humph!" Lu Lin snorted coldly, turned back to the living room, sat on the sofa, and stopped talking.
Xu Zhipeng took off his shoes, put on his old slippers, and walked in the door. The furnishings inside are still the same as before, without any change. Even the razor on the shoe cabinet at the door is still in the corner where it used to be and has not been put away.
"Alas~" He sighed deeply, understanding what Lu Lin was thinking. It's a pity that it's hard to recover after flooding, and he will never enter this wall again.
"Xu Yue, what time is it? Get up soon!" He knew that his daughter had a bad habit of snoozing since she entered junior high school. He had criticized her mother many times before, but her daughter still went her own way, so he got used to it later. If you are tired from studying, it is no big deal to get up early and go to bed late every day, and wake up later during weekends and holidays to recuperate your energy.
"Dad! Why are you back?" Xu Yue walked out quickly. She had been disturbed for a long time, and she was still sleepy, but she just didn't want to get up. She was getting dressed when she heard her father's voice.
"It's the Spring Festival. I have nothing to do in the Taoist temple, so I came to see you. How are you doing these days? Have you made your mother angry?" Xu Zhipeng also asked questions out of habit, and he didn't even know what he was talking about. I mean, it's just a long-term habit. When I came to this home, I automatically entered the role. After being stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses.
"How dare I!" Xu Yue was a little too angry but dared not speak out, so she muttered in a low voice. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Xu Zhipeng's ear, "I scolded him so early in the morning that I didn't even dare to get up."
"You!" Xu Zhipeng smiled and nodded her head, not knowing what to say.
Lu Lin was actually not a bad person, but after following him, she gradually became depressed due to pressure, and her temper became worse day by day.
In the past, he was always cautious and observed her every move. If there was any slight abnormality, he would always make her happy. But as time goes by, we will always become numb and noisy will always be inevitable. But it's good to get used to these things, and once the temper is over, it returns to normal.
Xu Zhipeng had also considered enduring it for the rest of his life! Anyway, my temper is pretty good. It goes in through the left ear and out through the right ear. Just don’t get angry with her. Who knew that as the family's financial situation became increasingly tense, her temper became more and more unreasonable. Finally, she got what she wanted, and he was freed.
Looking at the woman sitting on the sofa, looking coldly at him from time to time, and showing grievances from time to time, Xu Zhipeng sighed in his heart, it seems that this woman still has not faced reality.
Lu Lin didn't speak, and Xu Zhipeng naturally didn't talk too much. He didn't even look at her. He was just silent around her, looking at the difference from before.
Nothing different.
After a while, Xu Yue packed up and stood in front of him. "Mom, dad and I went out. There is no need to leave food for me at noon. I will be back in the evening."
Xu Yue is actually very caring. Although Lu Lin loses her temper from time to time, she is actually very kind to her in normal times. She cooks good food and is generous to her. He gives her a hundred yuan every weekend to buy snacks for my wife, so she can't bear to leave her alone.
In fact, she is quite contradictory most of the time.
"Dad, where did you take me to eat today? I'm hungry and I didn't even eat breakfast. I just ate a lot of gas!"
"You!" Xu Zhipeng lovingly touched his daughter's hair. Once upon a time, his daughter had just arrived at his throat, and he could touch her head and take her around without raising his hand. Now that she is a tall and graceful girl, she doesn't even like him touching her head. "Your mother is a little depressed. Don't make her angry. Otherwise, if you don't stop for an hour and a half, you won't be the one who suffers!"
Xu Zhipeng tried his best to persuade her, but he knew that these would not have much effect.
"It's OK, it's OK, don't talk too much, I understand!" Xu Yue waved her hand, a little impatiently. "Come on, I'm hungry. I want to go to the noodle shop at the corner of the street. I haven't eaten there in a long time!" Xu Yue jumped up and down in front of her happily.
"Don't you know what day it is today? It's the second day of the Lunar New Year. Have you seen any noodle shop open? Let's go eat KFC. I guess this is the only one nearby that's still open." Xu Zhipeng said when he came back. Passing by this intersection, I knew that the noodle shop was closed, so I told him.
"KFC is KFC, even though it's junk food! I want to eat honey-glazed whole chicken." Xu Yue grabbed Xu Zhipeng's phone before she got halfway, skillfully opened the WeChat applet, and made a reservation there stand up.
Xu Zhipeng naturally didn't care. He often ate KFC when he was a child, so he didn't object to his daughter eating this kind of foreign food.
"Dad, I'm going to visit the City God's Temple later."
"City God's Temple! Where did our City God's Temple come from in Yuezhou City?" Xu Zhipeng was a little confused. Although he also moved up from the towns below, he is an authentic Yuezhou native after all. When did the City God's Temple come under Yuezhou City, it couldn't have been newly built to deceive outsiders.
"Don't you know, I've seen it on Douyin at the intersection of Fuheng Street and Cangqiao Street. It's been very lively these two days," Xu Yue explained.
