The next day, Chu Lihua slept until she woke up naturally.
Originally, as soon as I came back yesterday, I should have gone to make up the rent owed, but because I went out to eat with Geng Jiangtao, and it rained after I came back, it was too late, so I didn't go.
Unexpectedly, when Chu Lihua went to find the old man who usually strolled in the courtyard, he actually said that he was not the one who collected the rent, and that he had to wait for the accountant to come.
? ? ?
Why did you just give it to him before?
The explanation is that it was paid on a monthly basis before, but this time, the accountant had to deal with it.
Well, I'm still quite arrogant, so let's ask when the accountant will come and hand it over. Anyway, even though it is said to be demolished, it is uncertain when it will be.
Thinking about going to Yu Xiaqiu's house to celebrate her birthday in the afternoon, Chu Lihua's original plan to fill up the refrigerator when she came back fell through.
The house was almost cleaned up yesterday.
Chu Lihua suddenly became idle instead.
Originally, Chu Lihua thought it would be impossible, so she slept for a while.
However, unexpectedly, Zhao Jie contacted her at this time.
——"Sister Chu, in fact, as early as when you were still in Chengdu, I wanted to chat with you alone, but I never had the courage to speak up. Do you have time now? I think maybe it's not face-to-face, I can better Say something."
After deliberating for a long time, Chu Lihua sent a serious sentence.
——"The moment you intend to reveal your heart to me, it proves that you trust me, and I will not let you down."
——"Actually, my real name is not Zhao Jie, but my name is Zhao Di, which is homophonic for Zhaodi. There are four children in our family, three girls and one boy. I still remember that my brother was not born at that time Time. Because my parents went out to set up a stall, I took the initiative to undertake all the housework when I was 10 years old, washing, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of two younger sisters. My 7-year-old love brother and 4-year-old brother Lai. Like other children of this age, he is lively and active. Instead, he sits at the door like a puppet and can play with two fingers for a day.
For this, their mother is very proud.
She always brags to people at the poker table: "The three children in our family are all sensible, and the other children can't walk when they see snacks. When did the three children in our family eat snacks?"
My mother did not lie. Like many girls in other families, we saw our destiny clearly and had a deep insight into poverty too early.
We never make a fuss about buying new clothes, the eldest wears the leftovers of the second, and the second wears the leftovers of the third. I never made a fuss about eating snacks, and bought a pack of dried red bayberry for 50 cents at most. The two younger sisters stood anxiously, waiting for me to solemnly distribute it to them.
Our three sisters grew up quietly like this, until we really recruited our younger brother. "
When Zhao Jie sent it here, there was a short pause in that paragraph of text.
Chu Lihua looked at the phone screen quietly, without urging her.
After a while, the screen of the phone, which was gradually dimming, lit up again.
——"Later, my mother gave birth again, and this time it was finally a boy.
Although the mother lying on the hospital bed had just experienced a hemorrhage, she couldn't hide the excitement on her face. She handed the child to everyone to see: "Look at this child, how energetic"
I waited on my mother's confinement. Having experienced it twice in a row, I know everything. I know that my mother can't get cold water, so I fill the thermos with hot water every day. Worried that my younger brother would not have milk, I went to the vegetable market to pick up some cheap fish heads and came back to make soup.
At that time, no one praised me: "How can this child be so sensible at such a young age?"
My mother likes me too, but in a guilty way.
When the family eats, she will take special care of me and put the biggest piece of fish in her bowl.
In winter, when the water is cold, she will always ask her recruits over and over again, remember to wear gloves when washing vegetables.
However, there is a difference between liking and liking, after all.
What I like about my son is not like that.
Her son doesn't need to be sensible, he can buy the snacks he likes, and dried bayberry for 50 cents is enough, so he doesn't need to share it with his sisters, even if we have already swallowed our mouths. Ice cream that costs two yuan a piece can be eaten occasionally. This family saves everything, but my brother's snacks can't be saved.
?One winter, my three-year-old brother had a whim and wanted to eat crispy rice, so he insisted on asking me to buy it.
It was completely dark by then.
You know the alleys in Chengdu, the only way to the outside where we live?, there are no street lights. Where can I find some crispy rice for him?
But the younger brother insisted, and if he didn’t give it, he wailed bitterly, rolled on the ground, and beat his sister’s arm with his hands
My mother was so guilty again, she looked at her daughter apologetically: "Why don't you take a flashlight and help him buy it?"
At that moment, did I have any hatred? In fact, I'm not very worthy, but I know I have to be an obedient child to make sure I'm okay. He and his sisters will not be sent away by them due to family pressure.
In the end, I went, holding the flashlight that was not working at all times, and went through the cold of winter and the dark night in the alley to help my brother find a pack of crispy rice.
On the way back, I fell and broke a front tooth. Maybe you haven't noticed that I have already installed a denture when I was young. "
There was still another short pause, and then the phone started to vibrate again.
——" Later someone asked my mother about my situation. She said: "My own daughter, can I not feel bad? "
She hugged her son while wiping tears. As if he really cared about me.
No matter how difficult the days are, they pass quickly. In a blink of an eye, I was fifteen years old and graduated from junior high school.
The high school admission letter has been sent, but this family can't afford it anyway. My mother pulled me to her side: "I blame my parents for being incompetent. You four siblings need money for food, rent and study"
Before the words fell, I interrupted my mother: "Mom, I decided not to read, and went out to find something to do."
My mother's tears fell harder, and her eyes were full of guilt towards her daughter, but the frown was finally relaxed.
I know this, whether I say it myself or they say it, it will eventually be said. It's just that I have left myself a bit of dignity by saying it.
The thin me at that time became even thinner in that summer.
My shoulders have collapsed even more, and I am always alone. I smile haggardly when I see everyone, and then I lower my head, doing endless housework alone, and thinking about silent thoughts alone. "
Zhao Jie stopped again, and Chu Lihua felt that she had to say something.
——"Sometimes I really don't understand why these adults always want to have a boy. Girls are obviously good. They can do laundry and cook. And they are always so willing to sacrifice themselves for the family." ( Remember the URL of this website: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
