"Auntie, thank you."
When Wei Tao arrived home, Guan Jinyue had a few trousers and clothes that were not old on her lap. Judging from her body shape, they definitely did not belong to her mother, but probably belonged to her aunt.
He's being a good person with a kind heart again.
He never thought about reminding, never thought about changing, and never thought about letting his mother recognize the reality. As long as he was strong enough to protect her, he could keep her simple and innocent state of mind that was incompatible with the complex society. .
Reshaping your life, material changes are only one aspect.
A broad-minded woman with a fat body, she was laid off in middle age and has looked like an old lady for ten years. Wei Tao doesn't want to be like her mother. In this life, as long as she is happy, as long as she can get satisfaction in her world, Whether it's life or relationships, as a son, just be her strongest supporter.
This girl, okay, she can really chat with her mother and make her happy. I don't mind being a little springboard before she can control her destiny.
"Let's eat here tonight. Auntie will cook right now."
"Auntie, I'm with you."
"good."
Wei Tao sat on a small bench in the yard, holding a big fruit knife, peeling the cantaloupe in his hand, and ate it with big mouthfuls. The flesh inside was more delicious, and he didn't vomit.
"Son, Xiaoyue will have dinner at home tonight, and you can go buy some pork head meat."
"Auntie, no need."
"Xiao Tao, you still want to eat, go quickly."
Wei Tao stood up, rinsed his hands in the basin in the courtyard, and wiped them with the towel on the clothes drying pole: "Okay."
When he came back after buying two kilograms of pig head meat, the vegetables were already being fried. Wei Tao washed his face and hair with warm water in a basin that had been left to dry for a day.
"Give."
After washing, the towel was handed over.
After wiping it, he stood up and looked at Guan Jinyue in front of him, their eyes facing each other through the bangs that could be called a door curtain.
"Eat more, you're too thin."
Guan Jinyue never expected that he would say this. After a few seconds, she hummed softly: "Thank you."
"Don't thank me, it's not easy. My mother has always wanted to have a little cotton-padded jacket. Since she likes you, come and accompany her more often. As you can see, we two are working hard, and life is pretty good now. You just got married this year. When you are a sophomore in high school, that is two years, you will get over it after a while. Don’t spend money on food, drink, and clothing. Save some money and try to save enough to pay for college. When the time comes, let the birds fly. That’s you. See the world of Chang'an flowers in one day. Think about those days, now it's just drizzle."
Guan Jinyue raised her head, widened her eyes, and stared at Wei Tao. It had been a long time since she had raised her head to face someone directly.
Wei Tao continued to wipe the undried parts of his hair and neck casually. Facing a guy who was not very mature yet but already showed great wisdom, he said it honestly and did it sincerely. He didn't want to fail to feed a baby. A white-eyed wolf who might bite you back.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. It's all within my ability. I don't have the ability to do more. Besides, I also make a lot of money from you, right?"
"It's different. I'm not you. I can't sell it at such a high price, nor can I sell it."
Damn it, if this was 18-year-old Wei Tao, wouldn't he be a little brat who plays around in other people's eyes? This position is much worse, and now he can't bear it anymore.
"It's time to eat."
In front of Zhou Xinglian, one is a grown-up brat of his own family, and the other is a pitiful neighbor girl.
Her mother ran away, and her father gambled and drank all day long. From the first grade of junior high school, she saved her tuition by helping to farm the fields, picking wild vegetables, and doing odd jobs with neighbors nearby. For a while, she didn't have a bicycle. In order to save fares, she started from home at dawn and walked all the way to school.
Listening to other people talking, Guan Jinyue said it herself, Zhou Xinglian shed tears again and again. No, the old clothes that the eldest sister had replaced looked very thin, so she wanted to come over and give them to Guan Jinyue. She just went to school. The school uniform was her best clothes, the clothes she wore for picking and working in the mountains. She would never change into another one until it was worn out beyond repair, because she didn't know if anyone would be willing to help her.
Except for her father, she had no relatives in the whole city. Such a life suddenly aroused Zhou Xinglian's compassion. She had been the youngest one since she was a child, and life was the most difficult because of her husband's death. She had always been someone else. It's not easy to take care of her. It's not easy for her to raise a child alone. When introduced by relatives and friends in any environment, she will be a very vulnerable group.
Everyone has self-esteem. If Zhou Xinglian was not an optimist with a simple mind, she would always be considered by others to have a hard life, which would make her uncomfortable.
Now there is a person who works much harder than her, but she can also help and take care of him. Rather than pity Guan Jinyue, this child is sensible, considerate and can talk. At the beginning, this proportion was not large. It was purely because she was there. Deep in my heart, I am looking for a sense of value.
During the meal, Zhou Xinglian kept bringing her vegetables, asking her to eat more, and kept saying that she was too thin.
Guan Jinyue still had the posture she was accustomed to facing the world. She lowered her head slightly, letting her bangs float slightly in front of her eyes so as not to block her sight. This was not to isolate herself and lock herself in a small world, but to Used to keep distance.
She doesn't want to be pitied in her heart, but the reality is that she must manage the people and things that may be pitied.
She kept her distance and was determined. I am not afraid of being laughed at, but I just don’t want to be the object of others’ judgment. The world that belongs to me has not yet come, the time that belongs to me has not yet come, endure, wait, and hope.
She ate a lot, and she didn’t mean that I couldn’t eat it. Wei Tao could understand her, and when she glanced up at Wei Tao through the gap in her hair, she also knew that the other person could understand her. After so many years, the people she has been in contact with Not many, experienced wise men in and around the school, including the school teachers, have never seen this boy. They only met him a few times without saying a few words, and they completely saw through it.
Guan Jinyue ate two large bowls by herself, one plate of pork head, one plate of fried pork with garlic sprouts, and one plate of vinegared cabbage slices. There was nothing left for the three of them. Her usual attitude saved her from having to face embarrassing situations. Anyway, if I keep my head down, I’ll be fine if I’m not embarrassed.
Guan Jinyue did not dare to waste a nutritious meal, let alone show any worthless restraint, and fully accepted this gift from others.
No one knew that on the back of Guan Jinyue's homework book, she wrote down all the mercy and charity she received from others, no matter how big or small, in a way that she could understand. She told For yourself, first ten times, then a hundred times. You will pay back ten times within three years after graduating from college, and you will pay back a hundred times after ten years after graduating from college.
Guan Jinyue took care of everything in clearing the table and washing the dishes skillfully. Zhou Xinglian was not a particularly hard-working person, so he was happy to be lazy when he saw the diligent hands and feet of this little girl he liked.
Wei Tao, on the other hand, was enjoying himself with peace of mind. He lay with his legs crossed on his single bed, flipping through the newspaper that his aunt had packed and delivered. The 'timeliness' he wanted had nothing to do with the timeliness of the newspaper itself. One or two months was not too late. , three or two years is the standard situation.
"I'm leaving. I'll go back and do some more papers."
Guan Jinyue packed up everything, said hello to Zhou Xinglian, and then went to Wei Tao's cabin to say goodbye. Facing Wei Tao, when she was alone, she was willing to raise her head so that they could have eye contact.
Wei Tao hummed and threw the milk on the desk beside his bed: "I'm too full after dinner, so I can't drink it."
After Guan Jinyue caught it, she thought about it but still didn't put it back. The sudden whisper made Wei Tao almost fall off the bed. He felt that his outlook on life had been destroyed by this girl.
"I can't owe you too much. You are not worthy of me. I don't want to be asked for favors from you in the future..."
I'll rub your vagina, just you, just you, what's wrong with me, I can't find a woman?
"It's okay. Just drink it. It doesn't count. It doesn't count. Don't worry. Keep your heart in your stomach. You will never be my favorite."
