Chapter 11
Although the Dragon Boat Festival is legally only one day off, it is usually connected with Saturdays and Sundays, and together they can save a small long holiday.No, Lugao, I have to hurry up to make up illegal lessons, three days?Don't even think about it.On the one hand, because the big exam is coming soon in the next year, the battle of success or failure is really tight; on the other hand, Lugao is located in the middle of the Wunan River, which coincides with the rainy season every year, and the water level rises suddenly and does not reach the head of Shangzhou. risk of flooding.Therefore, there is always a week of "water holiday" during the rainy season.It is about the personal safety of the students, and Lu Gao dare not fool him.
In this way, the school can take it for granted and feel at ease about racking their brains to squeeze students' spare time.I advise you not to get emotional, and just repeat the teacher's words over and over again.For whom?Don't do it for the sky, don't do it for the earth, don't do it for me, don't do it for him, it's you if you don't learn it.The so-called thousands of sails pass by the side of a sinking boat, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. You are fighting for today, and you are fighting for the future!If you suffer today, you will be [-]-[-] tomorrow!You have passed the Gao Fu Shuai exam, you beat the second generation of officials!
You Kaifeng: mmp.
Thinking of Leader Mao’s recitation of "Wumeng meanders with fine waves, and Wumeng walks with majestic mud balls", it is nothing but the artistic conception of this heart that swallows thousands of miles like a tiger.Therefore, across the country, the largest highly centralized MLM organization must be a public high school.To win people's hearts, develop offline and become a gold member, it all depends on the teacher's spitting and flickering mouth.So much so that after listening to it for a long time, the common phrase "learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to travel all over the world" is not enough. In the moon, you can catch turtles in the five oceans!"
Whether it is reliable or not is not mentioned for the time being, the teacher tells you to learn as you please, don't talk so much nonsense.
Sure enough, the Dragon Boat Festival in the school is only held for one day for fun, and thinking about celebrating the festive season together, looking for the zongzi is too vulgar, so I ask all the teachers to send out a few sets of authentic papers to express their hearts.They moved into the classroom in bundles and scattered all over the place. The students couldn't help raising their middle fingers one after another, sighing in relief: Look at my fucking mouth full of nowhere to put it.
The Lin family has a habit of getting together for the Dragon Boat Festival, and Li Yuan is extremely reluctant to go.Lin Yixiong took a day off in rotation, threw his work clothes into the squeaking and shaking washing machine, and changed into an old and faded t-shirt, with the phrase "Freedom in the heart" printed on the back in a sloppy manner. "Your grandma specifically asked you to go, saying that she misses you." He took off his underpants, shook the polyester pants on the bed, and raised his nose to smell the musty smell that had been left for a long time: "Xia Qing and Zhou Wen both Go, what will I say if you don't go?"
"You just say I'm dead." Li Yuan had just finished two sets of real questions, and she lay on her bed and played a game of crossing the line of fire. Lin Yixiong was in the next room, talking to him, separated by a wall that didn't absorb much sound.
Lin Yixiong jumped in two steps from the next door, and threw the checked underpants he had changed into Li Yuan's face, "Hey! What nonsense are you talking about during the festival?!"
Li Yuan's grandmother lives in the old dormitory house left by the old man, which is more than 80 square meters in size.Before the old man left, he blocked the eye-catching old Japanese revolution with blood and flesh. In [-], he followed Peng Dehuai across the Yalu River to the Korean battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea.With great fortune, he returned safely and was assigned to Longhe Reservoir to be a department-level cadre for half his life.When he was about to retire, he returned to Qingyi.
The old man has two men and two women. He has a successful career and is said to be a standard winner in life.However, many things fail to meet people's wishes, and the "I think" of others is only what he thinks.First, Lin Yixiong suffered a stroke, followed by a marriage change, and brought Li Yuan to become an old bachelor with no one to depend on.Then there is the second daughter, Li Yuan's second aunt, in her 40s, who accidentally learned the truth that she was accidentally adopted during the march. His son, the fourth uncle of Lin Yixiong's younger brother Li Yuan, was diagnosed with a serious illness in his thirties. Pancreatic cancer turned to esophageal cancer. He almost wiped out all his savings and was unable to recover. He only left two years ago.
A series of dense blows related to human feelings rather than material things. The old revolutionaries with iron bones and iron bones were exhausted physically and mentally after the beatings. Those who got up to drink water at night accidentally fell on their knees.Li Yuan went to the funeral home for the second time to participate in the memorial ceremony. Lin Yixiong was holding the portrait. He is the grandson. According to Qing Yi's rules, he had to smash the burning paper pot over the top.
Life and death are actually so unpredictable, everything is chaotic, gathered in a basin, as if it has just been sorted out in general.But at that time, Li Yuan's vision was blurred like a mist, and she always felt that the burnt paper basin was broken when it touched the ground. Looking at the hot pottery shards and spark paper embers flying around in an instant, she felt vaguely that this was the beginning. .The hidden and deep human nature becomes more naked in the end.
As soon as Li Yuan followed Lin Yixiong into the room, she smelled the fragrance of zong leaves.The house on the fourth floor is inevitably humid, and it is not facing the sun, so it is almost a bit dark.Lin Hong came out to open the door a step late, put down her chopsticks and wiped her hands on the apron, leaned over the kitchen door and glanced at them, and pressed the round glasses on the bridge of her nose: "I called you early, come early, and return so late. "Turning his head to the kitchen: "Mom, Maozi and Niuniu are here."
Lin Yixiong has deep facial features and heavy body hair. He is nicknamed "Maozi" and "Little Landlord" by random selection.Li Yuan is very fixed, just a "good boy", at the age when everything is cleared up and blocked, no one will call him awkward.Lin Hong shouted, he was even more awkward.
"Auntie." He took off his shoes and called for someone, Lin Hong nodded.
"Have you just cooked the zongzi?" Grandma Li Yuan's brownish-yellow complexion contrasted with her gray and white withered hair, and 73 is not considered the age of decline. She made herself extremely haggard, skinny and weird, Qi Ruoyousi was as if she lived on the breath of true energy she carried, and the corners of her mouth were too deep and heavy, as if from now on, she would no longer be able to smile.She reluctantly pursed her lips, looked at Lin Yixiong and then at Li Yuan, her eyes flashed, but she still loved her, "Niu Niu is off for a few days, tired, are you stressed now?"
"Fortunately, not too tired." Li Yuan smiled at her lightly.No matter where the focal point is, the peripheral vision can always include the two portraits hanging side by side on the wall of the living room.A good portrait painting lies in the calmness and softness of the expression of the deceased, and in that no matter which direction you look at it, the deceased seems to be looking at you face to face.The portraits of Grandpa Li Yuan and Fourth Uncle are well drawn, staring at everyone in the family with clear eyes, all the complexities.
Li Yuan approached the closet and took two bunches of incense sticks from the incense box. Without thinking about it for a while, she took out the lighter that she always carried with her from her pocket.After pressing the fire wheel, I felt a little exposed. I quickly ignited the fire and put it back in my pocket. I turned my head and found that Lin Na, who had been sitting on the sofa with her head down pressing her phone, was looking at her with raised eyebrows.
The Lin family has deep facial features, and they all have a pair of plaster casts that look like mountain root browbones. When Mr. Lin was young, his brows were stern. It is strange that he looks a little strange. He is often said to be a mixed race, but he is also chic and suave. It's wonderful.Only Lin Na and Li Yuan, the second aunt, were nothing like them, with curved eyebrows and thin eyes, slumped shoulders and narrow waist, typical oriental flat and weak.This complete difference can be confirmed after knowing that she is adopted, and looking at it again, everyone tacitly feels that she is very different and alienated.
"Second Aunt." Greeting her face to face, Li Yuan called out politely.
"Yeah." She glanced at Li Yuan meaningfully, raised Liu Ye's eyebrows and nodded, with a fake and shrewd smile: "I won't say anything."
Li Yuan laughed helplessly, "What do you want to say?"
Lin Na pulled the corners of her mouth back into a line, leaned back into the sofa and stared at her knees under her skirt, and pinched her thumbnails. Her expression, which was originally fake sunny, suddenly turned cloudy: "I have too much to say. gone."
Li Yuan and her looked at each other for a few seconds, then licked her mouth and stopped looking, and inserted the incense into the small altar on the small table.She couldn't and couldn't answer Lin Na's words.The deep meaning in it is beyond the scope that the younger generation can understand or even intervene in it.To put it another way, there is often a mantra in the mouth of adults: Don't worry about your children's business.The child Li Yuan doesn't know how to define, psychological or physical, adult or married, independent or relative, single or complex.
At noon, there were shrimps and crabs on the table, Xia Qing was allergic and refused to eat them, so she changed her seat and was encouraged by Grandma Li Yuan to take the main seat.She is the eldest sister of Li Yuan's generation, a quiet and hard-working high-achieving student, her bangs and hair are pulled back into a high ponytail, her forehead is smooth and full, and she has kind eyebrows, and she raises her mouth and squints whenever she says something. Slight, full of gentle Tzu Chi looks.But she, her mother Lin Hong, her father Xia Zhimiao, and their family 100% despised Li Yuan and Lin Yixiong, even rejected and disgusted them.If you are good at covering up, it will not be so obvious, it seems to be nothing.But Li Yuan was always aware of the contempt that seemed to have tarnished her noble blood.
To be honest, there is no special reason, but it is just that I always talk sarcasticly, and I am not enthusiastic about them, so they are not willing to give too much emotional feedback; There is no such thing as a bad thing, and the words are always ugly, even the siblings are the one that makes people unhappy at first glance.All in all, a family of three made up of two government officials and a high-achieving student is superior to others, and contempt is a daily habit, and the reason is not important.
Grandma Li Yuan likes Xia Qing's favorite Fei Qi, because she always has nice words, and she often leans over to please her.The old lady is upright, and she is biased towards the good of a descendant, and she never feels it is wrong.It was silent at the beginning, she thought it was cold and solemn, so she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the most essential piece of snow-white belly meat in the plate of perch, dipped it in ginger juice and handed it into Xia Qing's bowl.
"Eat more of this, I'm tired from going to college." The old lady put the chopsticks back to her mouth and sucked unconsciously.Li Yuan saw Xia Qing frowned very quickly and disgustedly, and then went to look at Lin Hong, Lin Hong squinted her eyes and gave her an imperceptible "tsk".Xia Qing smiled generously again: "Thank you, grandma, I'm not tired, I just listen to lectures and study by myself."
"I'm so tired from college, you're kidding me." The old man Zhou Wen dropped his genitals as soon as he opened his mouth, and there was a "bang bang" on the table. I love to be a kid, so tired." Li Yuan put a jujube into her mouth, choked up when she heard it, and the jujube pit barely managed to choke down her esophagus and into her lungs.
Xia Qing's face suddenly turned from white to red, and then a faint cucumber green was revealed.Li Yuan took a sip of fish soup with a bowl and took the red dates in her throat, Lin Yixiong poured a mouthful of Harbin beer with his neck up, and brushed the foam off his beard with his hand.
"You..." The old lady slapped her chopsticks tremblingly on the table.
"Open your mouth, what did your mother say!" Lin Na frowned, and crossed her elbow to punch Zhou Wen's stomach.Zhou Wen couldn't sit and let himself go, the thick and hard hair of dust gold was brushed back to reveal the black roots, and the upper body was straightened up and leaned forward, making room for Lin Na to be stunned.
"Don't scold yourself when you scold others, can you?" Zhou Wenle laughed nonchalantly while laying on the table, "Damn me, am I not you?" Several sections of raised blood vessels and blue veins on it.He is really open-minded, his shit tattoo, which resembles the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, is so unscrupulously exposed at the opening of the T-shirt.
"Why are you talking to your mother!" Zhou Jianzhong pushed the frame mirror and gave a false cough in warning.Pushed Zhou Wen in front of a rice bowl that was not held by the chopsticks.
"I'm talking to my mother, and I have a fucking relationship with you?" Zhou Wen turned his head and snorted coldly, especially he didn't want to see him, a cowardly dad who has been pushing things a lot all his life.
"You kid—"
"What do you want to do?" Lin Hong pulled her half curly hair behind her ears, lowered her head towards the bowl, pouted and wiped her rose-red lips, and spat out a mouthful of meat residue mixed with tiny fishbone: "What do you want to do for a meal during the festival?"
"I don't want to be an aunt, really." Zhou Wen put on a smiling face again, resting his chin on the palm of his hand, sticking his head tilted to one side, sticking out the tip of his tongue to lick the small hole that was originally a lip ring , "Didn't sleep well, what a nonsense."
"You've always been like this." As soon as Lin Hong started to teach someone a lesson, she straightened her back and subconsciously folded her arms around her chest. make pie.Master, who has been sitting in an office for half his life, can no one tell you?It is not good to say that you are like a bureaucrat, not good, and people hate you.But he didn't change his mind, but his style became more and more fluent and proficient year by year.
It's like a big "ao" with a person growing on it.
"You have been like this since you were a child. Do you know how to write waste characters now? Do you know what you look like now?" He lowered his head and raised his head again and again, pressing his palms as if he didn't want to hear another rebuttal from him.Zhou Wen was neither angry nor angry, squinting his eyes and shaking his head with a smile, listening to her serious training: "Well, yes, let's continue."
"Don't think that you are going to be a disaster just after you come out of technical school. Everything you do now determines whether you will sit in an office like a dog in the future, or continue to move bricks on the construction site. Let me tell you Zhou Wen. Your mother and your father don't know how to educate children, how many times I told her to be strict and strict since childhood, I'm tired of you and let you make you into—"
"Who do you tell so much to? Are we used to it? Who am I used to?"
Lin Na crumpled the paper towel that she had wiped her mouth into a ball and squeezed it tightly in her palm. She changed the order of her legs up and down under the table, and her high-heeled shoes slammed twice.She stretched her slender snow-white fingers forward a little, and a thin silver chain on her wrist dangled up and down: "Let me tell you, Lin Hong, the most meddling in your Lin family and postponing is your family."
Xia Qing sneered, which didn't fit the initial design, and rolled his eyes without trying to hide it.Xia Zhimiao still carried it, swallowed the white rice in his mouth and pursed his lips.
"Your Lin family?" Lin Hong narrowed her eyes: "You still want to pick it up?"
Lin Na didn't speak.
Lin Hong laughed suddenly: "Mom and I begged your family to come here for the Dragon Boat Festival today? Your Lin family? I really laughed out loud after hearing the big joke, and you must feel wronged." Shan pointed to the door, "You don't want to come here, no one is forcing you to be wronged here, really Lin Na."
"Don't talk like that..." The old lady awkwardly came up to smooth things over, turned her head and saw Lin Na staring at Lin Hong across the table of dishes, the corners of her cheeks were clenched and she twitched.He stretched out his hands from under the table, past Zhou Wen and Zhou Jianzhong, to touch Lin Na's tightly folded hands on his knees: "Na'er, Na'er, that's not what your elder sister said..."
"Haven't you heard clearly?" Zhou Wen casually sipped the juice in the cup, "We are not welcome here, and you still put on makeup and clothes early in the morning to catch your hot love and put a cold butt on the ground, obviously How cheap are you..."
After all, Lin Yixiong couldn't listen anymore, and knocked on the table with the can in his hand.Few people looked up to him, which meant that Zhou Wen looked down on him even more. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Yixiong's displeased expression, and let out a short snort from his nose.
"Speak with conscience." Lin Hong sat even more straight, as if what was under her nose was not a meal, but an important overseas joint venture business contract: "When Dad is here, the daughter who loves the most is you, little four. I'm not as good as you, so I figured out what you're uncomfortable with? The Lin family doesn't owe you anything, the Lin family deserves you, and you've endured until now just for Dad's little money and this apartment. "
"The Lin family, the Lin family."
Lin Na took a breath, and broke away from the old lady's skinny hand that was holding her wrist, "You take the Lin family and you, Lin Hong, you know that I was not considered the Lin family when I was adopted. Xiao Si was sick. You haven’t been with me all day because I was in the hospital, you gave me soup twice when Dad was hospitalized, and you haven’t been there once, are you busy? Hillary isn’t as busy as you.” Swallowing hard, she continued with difficulty : "I never asked for any house money, but you Lin Hong, you are so selfish and selfish. I have really opened my eyes in this life."
"I am selfish? Your son's technical school is not his uncle looking for someone. You think he can get in because of his appearance? I am selfish. Zhou Jianzhong came out by himself after he was detained for driving without a license that year? I am selfish and you Who borrowed you when you had no money to be hospitalized when you had a baby? I was selfish and I gave you that empty house to live in for a month, and I paid the [-] utility bills for you for half a year?"
"I owe your money, and I'll pay you back every penny."
"What if the money clears the favor?"
Lin Na was silent for a long time, and after a while she whispered with a smile: "Lin Hong, you call it alms. If you are happy, you will give it if you are not happy. If you give it to me, you think you are superior to me. You call it charity." Fucking shit favors."
The old lady slapped the chopsticks on the table vigorously, and the small bowl of soup fell on the table. The milky white fish soup rushed down the table and splashed on the hands of Li Yuan, who had been sitting silently by the side. superior.
"If you like to eat, don't eat, or if you don't eat, go away!" The old lady finished crying, raised her hand to buckle the rice bowl, stood up, turned around and went back to the bedroom, and closed the door with a "bang".Everyone was silent, staring at the table, Lin Yixiong squeezed the can in his hand.Zhou Wen, on the other hand, spoke lazily and swished, pointing to Li Yuan's crotch, "Aren't you going to the toilet? Pee all over fish soup?"
Li Yuan was standing by the faucet rubbing her crotch, her face was expressionless, but her posture was obscene, no matter how you looked at it, she looked like she was so itchy that she was picking someone behind her back.
"Hey." Zhou Wen got into the toilet and stood with him without saying a word, and passed a cigarette up.
"No." Li Yuan shook her head and continued digging.
"Pretend to be your mother."
Li Yuan was furious, staring down at him every word: "Pretend to be your mother." The emphasis was on the word "you".
"That can't be called 'pretending to be your mother', change it." Zhou Wen wore braces, and a row of metallic colors were embedded in his white teeth. He looked cold when he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak clearly: "Change it to ' Pretend to be my second aunt'"
Li Yuan paused for a long time before smiling slowly: "Why didn't you beat her to death when you were born?"
"Come on, I should raise me as a monster to wear her in her life and torment her. What can I do? He didn't report me when he gave birth to me." Zhou Wen said with ease: " She or I don't know who will die first, she will live, and I will be a piece of steel and a brick in the scaffolding someday."
"When you talk like this every day, do you want others to feel comfortable with you?" Li Yuan rubbed her hands and asked, seeing his cigarette held up all the time, she took it and put it in her trouser pocket without lighting it.
"I don't know whether to respond to others or not. Anyway, I don't feel well myself, but I am happy. I can say whatever my mother likes. Those bastards just don't like to listen to the truth. They just pretend to be like that. whispering sound."
Zhou Wen stared at him and smiled: "It depends on you and me being more comfortable."
Li Yuan felt uncomfortable seeing him, and it could be said to be repulsive.
Zhou Wen was not so easy to get along with since he was a child. He grew up sucked in by his parents.Li Yuan knew that it was enough to have such an uneducated and incompetent cousin with an upturned nostril.Shocked and jaw dropping, he was forced to see him again. It was in junior high school. This boy and his male classmates were kissing passionately in the alley outside school, and Lin Hong, who clocked out of work, bumped into him.Just like Lin Hong, he immediately dragged him to the homeroom teacher, then turned around and called Lin Na and Zhou Jianzhong, wishing everyone knew about it and warned the group of parties: You are so young!Who dares to ignore this matter? !
Zhou Wen always resented Lin Hong for not being able to dispel it, and this was the reason.
At that time, Zhou Jianzhong used to get his nose bruised and his face swollen with the sole of his shoe. Lin Na was full of resentment and heartache, and after a burst of beating and scolding like a shower, she hugged him and cried again.When Zhou Jianzhong kicked down again, she straightened her back to bear him, and the pain continued, until she couldn't bear the pain, she cried and raised her hand to slap the person under her.After so many repetitions, Zhou Wen felt that he had gone crazy with her.Lin Na pushed him out of the house, her eyes were red and her nose was blocked, and she gave him 100 yuan through the door to hide at her third uncle's house.With a touch of the tip of his nose, he turned his back and yelled, smashed and grabbed Zhou Jianzhong into a ball again.
Li Yuan remembered that he was never willing to enter his house, he was in rags, his nose was bruised, his face was swollen, his face was swollen, he was a bit of a thief, he felt that the room was small and dilapidated and had a musty smell, so he just sat on the steps of the aisle without moving .Crying and laughing, laughing and then crying.At that time, the neighbors of Zhujiatang always thought that Lin Yixiong's family had a relative who was mentally ill.
In fact, Li Xiaoxing is really a very gentle person, always fetching a basin of water for him, wiping his face as if overturning a drawing board, colorful mottled.When she moved her towel up, Zhou Wen twisted his neck to hide, and sometimes when he got really impatient, he would push Li Xiaoxing with his hands and say "Get lost".Li Xiaoxing was not angry, Li Yuan, who was watching from the side after finishing her homework, was so angry that she always thought about whether to fly over and give him a kick in the heart, telling him not to be ashamed by your mother.
He came back and forth too often, so he didn't hide from Li Xiaoxing's towel, and just sat and let her wipe it carefully. Li Xiaoxing would occasionally answer a few questions when he asked him something.Seeing or raising her head, staring at Li Yuan with those sharp eyes, Li Yuan was pretending to be aggressive at that time, leaning against the door frame with her arms folded, and raised her eyebrows calmly and looked back.
Zhou Wen only respected Li Xiaoxing, and he would more or less listen to what she had to say, and it was also because of this.So when Li Xiaoxing became pregnant, Li Yuan was the only one in the family who disagreed with the induction of labor, and Li Yuan's grandma urged her to have the operation almost impatiently.It's a pity, what kind of numbers do children speak?It is never allowed to intervene in the affairs of adults.So the little sister that Li Yuan didn't expect much was gone.Li Yuan knew about the chaos and coldness of the Lin family.Li Yuan has been tirelessly imitating how to pretend to be an adult.
"Aunt Xiao Xing is really miserable." Zhou Wen leaned over with a smile, and plucked the gold dust bangs, "It will be a pity for you if you marry a good family who doesn't force her to have an abortion, and you will lose your mother."
When Li Yuan punched him in the stomach, it was so fast that she didn't even feel it.Zhou Wen bounced on the wall and turned his back to the ceiling without saying a word. He pursed his lips and endured it for a moment, "Uh-huh" and spat, "...Damn it."
In this way, the school can take it for granted and feel at ease about racking their brains to squeeze students' spare time.I advise you not to get emotional, and just repeat the teacher's words over and over again.For whom?Don't do it for the sky, don't do it for the earth, don't do it for me, don't do it for him, it's you if you don't learn it.The so-called thousands of sails pass by the side of a sinking boat, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. You are fighting for today, and you are fighting for the future!If you suffer today, you will be [-]-[-] tomorrow!You have passed the Gao Fu Shuai exam, you beat the second generation of officials!

The Lin family has a habit of getting together for the Dragon Boat Festival, and Li Yuan is extremely reluctant to go.Lin Yixiong took a day off in rotation, threw his work clothes into the squeaking and shaking washing machine, and changed into an old and faded t-shirt, with the phrase "Freedom in the heart" printed on the back in a sloppy manner. "Your grandma specifically asked you to go, saying that she misses you." He took off his underpants, shook the polyester pants on the bed, and raised his nose to smell the musty smell that had been left for a long time: "Xia Qing and Zhou Wen both Go, what will I say if you don't go?"
"You just say I'm dead." Li Yuan had just finished two sets of real questions, and she lay on her bed and played a game of crossing the line of fire. Lin Yixiong was in the next room, talking to him, separated by a wall that didn't absorb much sound.
Lin Yixiong jumped in two steps from the next door, and threw the checked underpants he had changed into Li Yuan's face, "Hey! What nonsense are you talking about during the festival?!"

His son, the fourth uncle of Lin Yixiong's younger brother Li Yuan, was diagnosed with a serious illness in his thirties. Pancreatic cancer turned to esophageal cancer. He almost wiped out all his savings and was unable to recover. He only left two years ago.
A series of dense blows related to human feelings rather than material things. The old revolutionaries with iron bones and iron bones were exhausted physically and mentally after the beatings.

As soon as Li Yuan followed Lin Yixiong into the room, she smelled the fragrance of zong leaves.The house on the fourth floor is inevitably humid, and it is not facing the sun, so it is almost a bit dark.Lin Hong came out to open the door a step late, put down her chopsticks and wiped her hands on the apron, leaned over the kitchen door and glanced at them, and pressed the round glasses on the bridge of her nose: "I called you early, come early, and return so late.

"Have you just cooked the zongzi?" Grandma Li Yuan's brownish-yellow complexion contrasted with her gray and white withered hair, and 73 is not considered the age of decline. She made herself extremely haggard, skinny and weird, Qi Ruoyousi was as if she lived on the breath of true energy she carried, and the corners of her mouth were too deep and heavy, as if from now on, she would no longer be able to smile.She reluctantly pursed her lips, looked at Lin Yixiong and then at Li Yuan, her eyes flashed, but she still loved her, "Niu Niu is off for a few days, tired, are you stressed now?"
"Fortunately, not too tired." Li Yuan smiled at her lightly.No matter where the focal point is, the peripheral vision can always include the two portraits hanging side by side on the wall of the living room.A good portrait painting lies in the calmness and softness of the expression of the deceased, and in that no matter which direction you look at it, the deceased seems to be looking at you face to face.The portraits of Grandpa Li Yuan and Fourth Uncle are well drawn, staring at everyone in the family with clear eyes, all the complexities.
Li Yuan approached the closet and took two bunches of incense sticks from the incense box. Without thinking about it for a while, she took out the lighter that she always carried with her from her pocket.After pressing the fire wheel, I felt a little exposed. I quickly ignited the fire and put it back in my pocket. I turned my head and found that Lin Na, who had been sitting on the sofa with her head down pressing her phone, was looking at her with raised eyebrows.
The Lin family has deep facial features, and they all have a pair of plaster casts that look like mountain root browbones. When Mr. Lin was young, his brows were stern. It is strange that he looks a little strange. He is often said to be a mixed race, but he is also chic and suave. It's wonderful.Only Lin Na and Li Yuan, the second aunt, were nothing like them, with curved eyebrows and thin eyes, slumped shoulders and narrow waist, typical oriental flat and weak.This complete difference can be confirmed after knowing that she is adopted, and looking at it again, everyone tacitly feels that she is very different and alienated.
"Second Aunt." Greeting her face to face, Li Yuan called out politely.
"Yeah." She glanced at Li Yuan meaningfully, raised Liu Ye's eyebrows and nodded, with a fake and shrewd smile: "I won't say anything."
Li Yuan laughed helplessly, "What do you want to say?"
Lin Na pulled the corners of her mouth back into a line, leaned back into the sofa and stared at her knees under her skirt, and pinched her thumbnails. Her expression, which was originally fake sunny, suddenly turned cloudy: "I have too much to say. gone."
Li Yuan and her looked at each other for a few seconds, then licked her mouth and stopped looking, and inserted the incense into the small altar on the small table.She couldn't and couldn't answer Lin Na's words.The deep meaning in it is beyond the scope that the younger generation can understand or even intervene in it.To put it another way, there is often a mantra in the mouth of adults: Don't worry about your children's business.The child Li Yuan doesn't know how to define, psychological or physical, adult or married, independent or relative, single or complex.
At noon, there were shrimps and crabs on the table, Xia Qing was allergic and refused to eat them, so she changed her seat and was encouraged by Grandma Li Yuan to take the main seat.She is the eldest sister of Li Yuan's generation, a quiet and hard-working high-achieving student, her bangs and hair are pulled back into a high ponytail, her forehead is smooth and full, and she has kind eyebrows, and she raises her mouth and squints whenever she says something. Slight, full of gentle Tzu Chi looks.But she, her mother Lin Hong, her father Xia Zhimiao, and their family 100% despised Li Yuan and Lin Yixiong, even rejected and disgusted them.If you are good at covering up, it will not be so obvious, it seems to be nothing.But Li Yuan was always aware of the contempt that seemed to have tarnished her noble blood.
To be honest, there is no special reason, but it is just that I always talk sarcasticly, and I am not enthusiastic about them, so they are not willing to give too much emotional feedback; There is no such thing as a bad thing, and the words are always ugly, even the siblings are the one that makes people unhappy at first glance.All in all, a family of three made up of two government officials and a high-achieving student is superior to others, and contempt is a daily habit, and the reason is not important.
Grandma Li Yuan likes Xia Qing's favorite Fei Qi, because she always has nice words, and she often leans over to please her.The old lady is upright, and she is biased towards the good of a descendant, and she never feels it is wrong.It was silent at the beginning, she thought it was cold and solemn, so she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the most essential piece of snow-white belly meat in the plate of perch, dipped it in ginger juice and handed it into Xia Qing's bowl.
"Eat more of this, I'm tired from going to college." The old lady put the chopsticks back to her mouth and sucked unconsciously.Li Yuan saw Xia Qing frowned very quickly and disgustedly, and then went to look at Lin Hong, Lin Hong squinted her eyes and gave her an imperceptible "tsk".Xia Qing smiled generously again: "Thank you, grandma, I'm not tired, I just listen to lectures and study by myself."
"I'm so tired from college, you're kidding me." The old man Zhou Wen dropped his genitals as soon as he opened his mouth, and there was a "bang bang" on the table. I love to be a kid, so tired." Li Yuan put a jujube into her mouth, choked up when she heard it, and the jujube pit barely managed to choke down her esophagus and into her lungs.
Xia Qing's face suddenly turned from white to red, and then a faint cucumber green was revealed.Li Yuan took a sip of fish soup with a bowl and took the red dates in her throat, Lin Yixiong poured a mouthful of Harbin beer with his neck up, and brushed the foam off his beard with his hand.
"You..." The old lady slapped her chopsticks tremblingly on the table.
"Open your mouth, what did your mother say!" Lin Na frowned, and crossed her elbow to punch Zhou Wen's stomach.Zhou Wen couldn't sit and let himself go, the thick and hard hair of dust gold was brushed back to reveal the black roots, and the upper body was straightened up and leaned forward, making room for Lin Na to be stunned.
"Don't scold yourself when you scold others, can you?" Zhou Wenle laughed nonchalantly while laying on the table, "Damn me, am I not you?" Several sections of raised blood vessels and blue veins on it.He is really open-minded, his shit tattoo, which resembles the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, is so unscrupulously exposed at the opening of the T-shirt.
"Why are you talking to your mother!" Zhou Jianzhong pushed the frame mirror and gave a false cough in warning.Pushed Zhou Wen in front of a rice bowl that was not held by the chopsticks.
"I'm talking to my mother, and I have a fucking relationship with you?" Zhou Wen turned his head and snorted coldly, especially he didn't want to see him, a cowardly dad who has been pushing things a lot all his life.
"You kid—"
"What do you want to do?" Lin Hong pulled her half curly hair behind her ears, lowered her head towards the bowl, pouted and wiped her rose-red lips, and spat out a mouthful of meat residue mixed with tiny fishbone: "What do you want to do for a meal during the festival?"
"I don't want to be an aunt, really." Zhou Wen put on a smiling face again, resting his chin on the palm of his hand, sticking his head tilted to one side, sticking out the tip of his tongue to lick the small hole that was originally a lip ring , "Didn't sleep well, what a nonsense."
"You've always been like this." As soon as Lin Hong started to teach someone a lesson, she straightened her back and subconsciously folded her arms around her chest. make pie.Master, who has been sitting in an office for half his life, can no one tell you?It is not good to say that you are like a bureaucrat, not good, and people hate you.But he didn't change his mind, but his style became more and more fluent and proficient year by year.
It's like a big "ao" with a person growing on it.
"You have been like this since you were a child. Do you know how to write waste characters now? Do you know what you look like now?" He lowered his head and raised his head again and again, pressing his palms as if he didn't want to hear another rebuttal from him.Zhou Wen was neither angry nor angry, squinting his eyes and shaking his head with a smile, listening to her serious training: "Well, yes, let's continue."
"Don't think that you are going to be a disaster just after you come out of technical school. Everything you do now determines whether you will sit in an office like a dog in the future, or continue to move bricks on the construction site. Let me tell you Zhou Wen. Your mother and your father don't know how to educate children, how many times I told her to be strict and strict since childhood, I'm tired of you and let you make you into—"
"Who do you tell so much to? Are we used to it? Who am I used to?"
Lin Na crumpled the paper towel that she had wiped her mouth into a ball and squeezed it tightly in her palm. She changed the order of her legs up and down under the table, and her high-heeled shoes slammed twice.She stretched her slender snow-white fingers forward a little, and a thin silver chain on her wrist dangled up and down: "Let me tell you, Lin Hong, the most meddling in your Lin family and postponing is your family."
Xia Qing sneered, which didn't fit the initial design, and rolled his eyes without trying to hide it.Xia Zhimiao still carried it, swallowed the white rice in his mouth and pursed his lips.
"Your Lin family?" Lin Hong narrowed her eyes: "You still want to pick it up?"
Lin Na didn't speak.
Lin Hong laughed suddenly: "Mom and I begged your family to come here for the Dragon Boat Festival today? Your Lin family? I really laughed out loud after hearing the big joke, and you must feel wronged." Shan pointed to the door, "You don't want to come here, no one is forcing you to be wronged here, really Lin Na."
"Don't talk like that..." The old lady awkwardly came up to smooth things over, turned her head and saw Lin Na staring at Lin Hong across the table of dishes, the corners of her cheeks were clenched and she twitched.He stretched out his hands from under the table, past Zhou Wen and Zhou Jianzhong, to touch Lin Na's tightly folded hands on his knees: "Na'er, Na'er, that's not what your elder sister said..."
"Haven't you heard clearly?" Zhou Wen casually sipped the juice in the cup, "We are not welcome here, and you still put on makeup and clothes early in the morning to catch your hot love and put a cold butt on the ground, obviously How cheap are you..."
After all, Lin Yixiong couldn't listen anymore, and knocked on the table with the can in his hand.Few people looked up to him, which meant that Zhou Wen looked down on him even more. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Yixiong's displeased expression, and let out a short snort from his nose.
"Speak with conscience." Lin Hong sat even more straight, as if what was under her nose was not a meal, but an important overseas joint venture business contract: "When Dad is here, the daughter who loves the most is you, little four. I'm not as good as you, so I figured out what you're uncomfortable with? The Lin family doesn't owe you anything, the Lin family deserves you, and you've endured until now just for Dad's little money and this apartment. "
"The Lin family, the Lin family."
Lin Na took a breath, and broke away from the old lady's skinny hand that was holding her wrist, "You take the Lin family and you, Lin Hong, you know that I was not considered the Lin family when I was adopted. Xiao Si was sick. You haven’t been with me all day because I was in the hospital, you gave me soup twice when Dad was hospitalized, and you haven’t been there once, are you busy? Hillary isn’t as busy as you.” Swallowing hard, she continued with difficulty : "I never asked for any house money, but you Lin Hong, you are so selfish and selfish. I have really opened my eyes in this life."
"I am selfish? Your son's technical school is not his uncle looking for someone. You think he can get in because of his appearance? I am selfish. Zhou Jianzhong came out by himself after he was detained for driving without a license that year? I am selfish and you Who borrowed you when you had no money to be hospitalized when you had a baby? I was selfish and I gave you that empty house to live in for a month, and I paid the [-] utility bills for you for half a year?"
"I owe your money, and I'll pay you back every penny."
"What if the money clears the favor?"
Lin Na was silent for a long time, and after a while she whispered with a smile: "Lin Hong, you call it alms. If you are happy, you will give it if you are not happy. If you give it to me, you think you are superior to me. You call it charity." Fucking shit favors."
The old lady slapped the chopsticks on the table vigorously, and the small bowl of soup fell on the table. The milky white fish soup rushed down the table and splashed on the hands of Li Yuan, who had been sitting silently by the side. superior.
"If you like to eat, don't eat, or if you don't eat, go away!" The old lady finished crying, raised her hand to buckle the rice bowl, stood up, turned around and went back to the bedroom, and closed the door with a "bang".Everyone was silent, staring at the table, Lin Yixiong squeezed the can in his hand.Zhou Wen, on the other hand, spoke lazily and swished, pointing to Li Yuan's crotch, "Aren't you going to the toilet? Pee all over fish soup?"
Li Yuan was standing by the faucet rubbing her crotch, her face was expressionless, but her posture was obscene, no matter how you looked at it, she looked like she was so itchy that she was picking someone behind her back.
"Hey." Zhou Wen got into the toilet and stood with him without saying a word, and passed a cigarette up.
"No." Li Yuan shook her head and continued digging.
"Pretend to be your mother."
Li Yuan was furious, staring down at him every word: "Pretend to be your mother." The emphasis was on the word "you".
"That can't be called 'pretending to be your mother', change it." Zhou Wen wore braces, and a row of metallic colors were embedded in his white teeth. He looked cold when he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak clearly: "Change it to ' Pretend to be my second aunt'"
Li Yuan paused for a long time before smiling slowly: "Why didn't you beat her to death when you were born?"
"Come on, I should raise me as a monster to wear her in her life and torment her. What can I do? He didn't report me when he gave birth to me." Zhou Wen said with ease: " She or I don't know who will die first, she will live, and I will be a piece of steel and a brick in the scaffolding someday."
"When you talk like this every day, do you want others to feel comfortable with you?" Li Yuan rubbed her hands and asked, seeing his cigarette held up all the time, she took it and put it in her trouser pocket without lighting it.
"I don't know whether to respond to others or not. Anyway, I don't feel well myself, but I am happy. I can say whatever my mother likes. Those bastards just don't like to listen to the truth. They just pretend to be like that. whispering sound."
Zhou Wen stared at him and smiled: "It depends on you and me being more comfortable."
Li Yuan felt uncomfortable seeing him, and it could be said to be repulsive.
Zhou Wen was not so easy to get along with since he was a child. He grew up sucked in by his parents.Li Yuan knew that it was enough to have such an uneducated and incompetent cousin with an upturned nostril.Shocked and jaw dropping, he was forced to see him again. It was in junior high school. This boy and his male classmates were kissing passionately in the alley outside school, and Lin Hong, who clocked out of work, bumped into him.Just like Lin Hong, he immediately dragged him to the homeroom teacher, then turned around and called Lin Na and Zhou Jianzhong, wishing everyone knew about it and warned the group of parties: You are so young!Who dares to ignore this matter? !
Zhou Wen always resented Lin Hong for not being able to dispel it, and this was the reason.
At that time, Zhou Jianzhong used to get his nose bruised and his face swollen with the sole of his shoe. Lin Na was full of resentment and heartache, and after a burst of beating and scolding like a shower, she hugged him and cried again.When Zhou Jianzhong kicked down again, she straightened her back to bear him, and the pain continued, until she couldn't bear the pain, she cried and raised her hand to slap the person under her.After so many repetitions, Zhou Wen felt that he had gone crazy with her.Lin Na pushed him out of the house, her eyes were red and her nose was blocked, and she gave him 100 yuan through the door to hide at her third uncle's house.With a touch of the tip of his nose, he turned his back and yelled, smashed and grabbed Zhou Jianzhong into a ball again.
Li Yuan remembered that he was never willing to enter his house, he was in rags, his nose was bruised, his face was swollen, his face was swollen, he was a bit of a thief, he felt that the room was small and dilapidated and had a musty smell, so he just sat on the steps of the aisle without moving .Crying and laughing, laughing and then crying.At that time, the neighbors of Zhujiatang always thought that Lin Yixiong's family had a relative who was mentally ill.
In fact, Li Xiaoxing is really a very gentle person, always fetching a basin of water for him, wiping his face as if overturning a drawing board, colorful mottled.When she moved her towel up, Zhou Wen twisted his neck to hide, and sometimes when he got really impatient, he would push Li Xiaoxing with his hands and say "Get lost".Li Xiaoxing was not angry, Li Yuan, who was watching from the side after finishing her homework, was so angry that she always thought about whether to fly over and give him a kick in the heart, telling him not to be ashamed by your mother.
He came back and forth too often, so he didn't hide from Li Xiaoxing's towel, and just sat and let her wipe it carefully. Li Xiaoxing would occasionally answer a few questions when he asked him something.Seeing or raising her head, staring at Li Yuan with those sharp eyes, Li Yuan was pretending to be aggressive at that time, leaning against the door frame with her arms folded, and raised her eyebrows calmly and looked back.
Zhou Wen only respected Li Xiaoxing, and he would more or less listen to what she had to say, and it was also because of this.So when Li Xiaoxing became pregnant, Li Yuan was the only one in the family who disagreed with the induction of labor, and Li Yuan's grandma urged her to have the operation almost impatiently.It's a pity, what kind of numbers do children speak?It is never allowed to intervene in the affairs of adults.So the little sister that Li Yuan didn't expect much was gone.Li Yuan knew about the chaos and coldness of the Lin family.Li Yuan has been tirelessly imitating how to pretend to be an adult.
"Aunt Xiao Xing is really miserable." Zhou Wen leaned over with a smile, and plucked the gold dust bangs, "It will be a pity for you if you marry a good family who doesn't force her to have an abortion, and you will lose your mother."
When Li Yuan punched him in the stomach, it was so fast that she didn't even feel it.Zhou Wen bounced on the wall and turned his back to the ceiling without saying a word. He pursed his lips and endured it for a moment, "Uh-huh" and spat, "...Damn it."
