The innocence of the rainy season changes at a moment's notice. Dark clouds float over in mighty force, followed by the roar of huge thunder. Suddenly, a lightning bolt like a silver dragon swoops into the narrow street. The acacia trees on both sides of the road look like monsters. It is twisted and swaying like a python. The surrounding windows were shaking, and even the gray low-rise building had an eerie light.
At 7:00 in the evening, the child woke up again. The moment he opened his eyes, he started crying louder than a bomb explosion. Li Chengmei quickly got up from the bed with her head hanging down, but the moment she bent down to find the potty, a stream of cold and smooth liquid stuck to her hair and quickly splashed onto her withered, yellow face. The warm fishy smell like fried salted fish, driven by the constantly surging stomach acid, made Li Chengmei's face turn pale, and then she even vomited her liver and gallbladder into her throat.
At 7.30 pm, Li Chengmei came in with a wet vegetable basket against the door. The eldest daughter did not sit quietly at the desk and do her homework as she had promised. The son crawled to the ground, and the moment he looked at Chengmei, he threw the remains of the fruit in his hand again onto the cheap blanket covered with melon seeds, paper scraps, and candy wrappers.
"Hey! Have I stressed to you so many times that you should take care of your younger brother when mom and dad are not around?! No matter whether it is study or life, you don't care about anything?! The one like you deserves a thousand cuts! Dad Zheng Yucheng is the same, do you think I am turning a deaf ear?!"
The eldest daughter's head and shoulders stretched out from the quilt timidly. Seeing the child's red eyes and dark yellow skin that were not suitable for her age, Li Chengmei had no choice but to spread her anger on the blanket.
At 8:00 in the evening, Shen Lei rumbled like a violent landslide, and streaks of golden light flying across the sky shattered the dark sky into pieces and fragments. The hot water boiled in the kitchen has gone cold, but Chengmei is so sleepy that she doesn't even have the strength to pour it into the kettle. She sent a text message to her husband, but Zheng Yucheng still seemed to have no intention of going home. In desperation, Chengmei breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then her eyes slowly stopped at the water-stained wedding photo. Suddenly another thunder struck, and the photo flashed brightly, then immediately sank into the boundless darkness.
At 8.30 in the evening, I looked out the window and saw lightning flashing one after another, and muffled thunder one after another. The mottled shadows not only floated on the window where Seung-mei was staring quietly, but also slowly floated on her face. At this time, her husband Zheng Yucheng sent a text message again, but there was no intention of going home between the lines. Knowing that scolding would not help, she could only show a helpless smile. In the short one meter from the room to the kitchen, Chengmei kept bending down, stretching out from the gaps in the sofa, and pulling out many pieces of dusty clothes and socks from under the table legs.
"I'm not responsible for washing it, but you're still throwing it around?! The key is that these clothes were only worn for one day and then left here!" Chengmei suddenly screamed like a madman and stomped on the discolored and cracked floor. After getting off her feet, she grabbed the books that her eldest daughter had dropped on the ground, and the toys that she had been looking for for her younger son for several days but could not find, and threw them at another wedding photo. Seeing the picture being smashed and shaking back and forth, the eldest daughter even suppressed the sound of picking her teeth after eating.
"All I do all day long is eat and watch TV endlessly! I'm as hopeless as your father. From now on, I can only do annoying shit!" Li Chengmei rushed to her eldest daughter with a bird's nest head on her head. In front of him, he looked at the remains of half-and-half dishes with food, and the soup that kept flowing along the lines of the table. Li Chengmei's disgust turned into uncontrollable hatred again. Almost at the same time, her son flipped the switch of the toy pistol, and a small plastic pellet whizzed onto the table top of the dining table. Li Chengmei fell into deep thought in front of the two children.
At 8.45 pm, after listening to silence on the other end of the phone for a while, Seung-mei suddenly hung up the phone with a snap. In the small attic utility room, there was very thin light floating everywhere. Chengmei touched the old clothes that were swimming around like a school of fish. She felt a hard and hard body on the innermost side of the fish school where the fish were most densely arranged. s things.
"It's an unfamiliar game controller again! Zheng Yucheng!!!" The crunching sound of the controller buttons made her gums sore. After gritting her teeth, Chengmei threw the game controller hard against the damp wall, and the controller suddenly Disappeared without a trace, just like her inner anguish was insignificant to her husband Zheng Yucheng.
"If you really want to catch a thief, you can catch a thief! Haha, isn't it fun for Zheng Yucheng to play hide-and-seek with me!" She almost turned the entire utility room upside down, but Chengmei didn't find the target, and she became angry in desperation. She grabbed the broken handle and smashed it against the wall again and again.
The dark sky was suddenly illuminated by lightning, and the building opposite was once again clearly visible, but it soon sank into deeper darkness.
In the floor-length mirror placed in the corner, Chengmei's face looked as if she had just experienced a huge catastrophe. Every time her hands fell, she grinned in pain, especially those red and swollen eyes, no matter which angle she looked at them from. All extremely scary.
"Zheng Yucheng, let me see something that shouldn't exist in this world again, and you're dead!" The resentful woman was indeed a villain, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all when she used threats. Just like that, all the messy things that were crammed here and there were tossed out by Chengmei. It looked like the house had just collapsed once.
Knock, knock! The attic utility room resounded with the sound of running wildly. Such noisy and increasingly abrupt sounds naturally attracted the attention of the eldest daughter. Just as she spread out a family exercise book, there were sounds from all around. The roar was more terrifying than her father's hangover, and the daughter instantly broke out in a sweat. But Chengmei, who was in the attic, continued to rummage through boxes and cabinets angrily.
"Damn it!" Li Chengmei hurriedly stuffed a large bag of clothes into the dilapidated wardrobe, and pushed the shoe cabinet full of old shoes to the ground. After confirming that there was nothing hidden here, she pushed hard and She shoved her shoes back indiscriminately. The poor shoes were so squeezed by her that they felt like they would explode at any moment.
While sighing at the gray sky, Chengmei finally seemed to have thought of something...
There was thunder and lightning outside the window. The whole sky seemed to be on fire, and the fierce red wind stirred up billowing dust, making all the trees in the alley rattle.
In the utility room, with the sound of a seal being torn, bags of toilet paper were pulled out of the carton.
"Game console!!!" The mother's scream sounded like a slaughtering pig again in the small house. The sound instantly pushed the ajar door open. The eldest daughter, who was hiding in the corner, looked at her mother Li Chengmei's dim and changing face. Her eyes were filled with fear that a child of that age could understand but could not describe in words.
