Chapter 69 LXIX

"The abrupt visit has delayed your class." Ma'am, oh, she should still be called Auntie, nodding her head and saying softly.

"Don't delay, it's still a self-study class anyway." Yang Sheng scratched the back of his head, his smile was still cramped, and the old Lu next to him gave him a cool look, and he quickly added, "Self-study class is also very important."

"Okay, okay, I'll accompany you...Parents, let's go downstairs, everyone in the teaching building is still in class, and it's not very plausible for you to chat here." Lao Lu waved his hand, "Anyway, in terms of review, you have to do it yourself. It’s enough to count. Oh, comrade parents, you don’t have to worry about your child’s study, he is really top-notch.”

What the hell is the parent comrade, but it's true that Lao Lu doesn't know what the relationship between Auntie and Yang Sheng is.

Of course, Yang Sheng himself couldn't make it clear.

"I'd better trouble you." Auntie responded politely to Lao Lu, really a bit of a patriarch.

On the morning of early spring, Yang Sheng broke out in a cold sweat facing the warm wind. This scene happened when he asked Boss Lu to act as his relative last time.

What is that called, a guilty conscience?But Auntie, the parent, was really not the one he found to impersonate.

Well, nervous and guilty, it must be because I abducted my aunt's son.

"When Xiaozang was just admitted to Yunzhong, he took me around the school twice. I remember that there was a lotus pond over the square." Xu Shi could see that Yang Sheng was uncomfortable, and the aunt gradually brought up the topic, " Let's go for a walk over there."

"Yeah, good." Yang Sheng hurriedly responded.

When you go downstairs, you will pass Xia Zang's classroom. The white porcelain walls are shining with light and shadow, reflecting the dancing vegetation outside the teaching building.

Yang Sheng pointed to the aunt and said, "My brother is in class here."

After speaking, I felt that I was unnecessary. How could my aunt not know where Xia Zang was in class.

"Well, I remember it was in the building over there before." The aunt was very generous to him, "After the division of arts and sciences, I haven't been to the school very much, and I haven't come to the parent meeting for him in the past two years."

Auntie's tone became lower and lower. Yang Sheng originally wanted to say "my brother knows you are busy with work", but after thinking about it once or twice, he always felt a little yin and yang, and he couldn't find a suitable tone to comfort Auntie.

He had no choice but to murmur: "It's not too late to know now."

The aunt watched him and smiled slightly.

"Hey, whisper, do you want to know why I came to you directly?"

Yang Sheng took a deep breath: "Then I'll tell you the truth?"

"Say it straight." The aunt raised her hand as a gesture.

"You may have come to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, or you may have come to investigate me for my brother." Yang Sheng said frankly and cowardly.

"You're half right." The aunt said slyly, then turned and walked outside the teaching building, "Why don't you guess which half it is?"

"Investigate me for my brother?" Yang Sheng chased after him and asked boldly.

"Your child is smart." The aunt said, "but I somehow feel that sometimes he is cute and silly."

Yang Sheng wasn't sure whether it was a good word or a bad word, so he could only deal with it with a smile.

God, send someone to save me!I would rather not speak for a week over it!

Walking along the path outside the teaching building, the cement and gravel floor seemed to extend as long as the sky. Yang Sheng introduced to his aunt the teaching buildings with similar exterior walls on the right hand side, and the flower garden was thankful. Fanghua and lush wintersweet.

The paulownia tree stretching into the sky on the left will take more than a month to bloom. The flowers are light purple and very fragrant.Along the way, the plane trees began to sprout new buds, and there would be love words written by naughty and romantic students on their mottled light-colored trunks.

The aunt also took a closer look and said that it has been so many years, and the way of showing love in school days is still so simple and wild.

"Xiaozang's father and I also met when we were students, freshman...sophomore." Auntie showed a look of reminiscence, "My family is from the main city, and then he was admitted to the main city from Yunshan County. We both chose to study theory, and we were assigned together in the sophomore class."

"At that time, I thought it was very simple. I just studied hard and got admitted to the same university, thinking that this way I could stay together forever."

"Of course, we have persisted for a long time. After graduating from university, we started a business together and planned to get married. However, my family thought that his family was not in the urban area, and they refused to agree with me to be with him. You also know that Yunshan County is relatively remote in the city. It takes six hours to take a bus from the county to the city. At that time, it took a day and a night to take a boat or a waterway. My parents were reluctant to marry me so far away, and his father was He also has no ability to buy property in the urban area. He is the only child in his family, and his mother is pointing at him to live, so he has no plan to stay away from his hometown after graduating from university."

"I was young at the time, and I thought that as long as we were together, nothing would trouble us. Then I stole the household registration book from my family, went with him to get a marriage certificate, and came to Yunshan County."

"In the first two years of our marriage, we really had nothing, but happiness is really happiness. It's so boring that one mooncake can be broken into two pieces to eat. Later, my parents couldn't see it and gave us a sum of money to support us. The business started to pick up a bit. About the third year of our marriage, we had Xia Zang. He liked girls, so he told me and his mother that it must be a younger sister. But he was still happy when Xiao Zang was born. Yes, during my confinement period, I was never allowed to take care of the child."

"I don't know what happened afterwards. Maybe he made a lot of money and his heart drifted away; or maybe I was busy with my career and family, and neglected the relationship between husband and wife. Xiaozang grew up day by day, and he and I became estranged day by day. ;Actually, I expected him to cheat or something, and I wasn't very angry at the time, I just thought that I was tired, so let's go here."

"You've probably heard something about the next thing, so I won't talk about it. Now that I think about it, the biggest victim of my marriage with him is Xiaozang. That child is stubborn, so he doesn't complain easily. There is no reason for me to remarry. After the second son, he came to the main city to play, and I could see that he was uncomfortable, but he didn’t say anything, just endured it, and then made excuses and never came to the main city again.”

"He has been alone for the past two years. I have a career and a family in the main city. I can't spare my life to care about him. I can only comfort him by giving him living expenses. He will give it when he needs it, and he will give it if he doesn't. But how could I? I don’t know, what he wants is not these at all. I can’t afford to give him what he wants.”

They finally came to the lotus pond and made a big circle.

Before the season, only the dead leaves of the previous year remained in the lotus pond.

Around June, there will be Hegai pavilions, decorated with flowers like stars.

They stopped on the small arch bridge across the lotus pond, the breeze was blowing, and the water was calm.

Yang Sheng took out a tissue for the auntie and handed it over, the auntie didn't refuse, she was talking with tears in her eyes.

"So, I should really say thank you for liking him."

Yang Sheng's throat choked up for a while, and his heart flustered like a nest of startled rabbits.

He didn't expect that his aunt would tell him about this.

Sincerely, I cut open a mother's heart to him, an outsider.

To him, the outsider who took her son.

"You are too serious, Auntie." Yang Sheng said earnestly, word by word, "I should thank my brother, thank you."

Thank you my brother for liking me, and thank you for being willing to tolerate me.

Auntie laughed and stopped for a while.

She said: "I came to see you today and talked a lot. I didn't want to use it to preach to you. I have no reason to preach to you and Xiaozang. You have your own future."

"Where you will go in the future and whether you will still be together are not within the scope of my consideration. All I can do is to bless you. Originally, I planned to tell Xiaozang this and let him pass it on to you, but I thought If you want to go these days, it is better to come and see you."

"Before Xiaozang also told me which class you were in. I went up to the teaching building where Xiaozang used to be. After crossing a bridge, I saw your classroom. Then your class teacher is nice and told me about your situation. , but he seems to have misunderstood that I am your mother's sister, let me tell your mother, don't delay your college entrance examination because of trivial matters."

"Well...Mr. Lu knows about my brother and I." Hearing this, Yang Sheng hesitated, not daring to hide anything.

"You two are quite straightforward." Auntie said with a smile.

"The main reason is that there is no way." Yang Sheng said honestly, "It's too much trouble."

Auntie heard what he meant, and comforted her, "Xiaozang's father has such a temper, so don't argue with him."

"Yeah." Yang Sheng nodded irresolutely, suppressing the thoughts that were flowing in his eyes.

He really didn't care about anything with Xia Man, he just wanted to pay off what he owed and never have anything to do with that person again in this life.

For himself, but also for Xia Zang.

He and Xia Zang will leave this sad place far away. Xia Zang should be happy and soft forever like he was a child a long time ago.

Going back to building No. 4 with my aunt, the bell rang for the end of get out of class. Yang Sheng thought about it, it was the time when school was over at noon.

Not bothering to go upstairs to get his schoolbag, Yang Sheng led his aunt to guard outside the classroom door of Class 34. Seeing Xia Zang coming out of the door with a bag on one shoulder, Yang Sheng stepped back winkingly, "General, surprise!"

The aunt tilted her head and smiled lightly: "Small."

Xia Zang staggered, almost tripping himself to the ground.

"Unexpectedly, it turned into a fright." The aunt said helplessly while holding her forehead.

Yang Sheng had already supported his boyfriend, turned his head and explained to his aunt: "My brother is so happy to see you."

Xia Zang: "So when did the relationship between you two become so good?"

I just took a class, how come I feel that many steps of life's difficult problems have been solved?

Mother said, "Just now."

Boyfriend said, "Right now."

Xia Zang: "..."

Ah this?

After all, I went to have lunch with my mother.

Sitting at the square table in the restaurant, the mother insisted that Xia Zang and Yang Sheng sit on the same side, and she sat opposite, squinting and looking at them from side to side, and finally took out her mobile phone and "clicked" a photo.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Xia Zang asked suspiciously and helplessly.

"Take a photo as a souvenir." The mother said as it should, "I just heard from the boss that both of our sons are handsome, so of course we have to take a picture and take a good look."

Although it was flattering words from the boss, and obviously the boss misunderstood... Xia Zang complained silently, but he didn't expose his mother.

After all, when I saw my son's boyfriend, I was always a little excited.

Yang Sheng started to get nervous again for some reason, and his hands rubbing his thighs didn't stop.

Xia Zang was afraid that he would hurt his hand again, so he quietly grabbed his hand on his enlarged leg.

"Don't be nervous." Xia Zang said.

"My hands are itchy, in a physical sense." Yang Sheng muttered, "I just walked around the lotus pond, and it seems that I was bitten by some insects."

"Yeah, I was stung by something on the back of my hand just now." The mother continued naturally.

"It's obviously not summer yet." Yang Sheng sighed.

"In summer, you should prepare more dew and grass ointment." Mother said.

"Auntie, I don't think toilet water is very useful, it doesn't really repel mosquitoes." Yang Sheng said.

"You want to buy the blue bottle of mosquito repellent water, the smell is stronger than the green bottle." Mother said.

Xia Zang: I suddenly felt that I was out of place.

So quietly mi/mi withdrew his hands back, listening to his mother and boyfriend chatting endlessly with his left ear in and his right ear out.

All in all, this is slightly different from Xia Zang's expectations. Even if he knows that his mother and Yang Sheng are very gentle people, there will definitely not be a bloody drama like their meeting Xia Man.

But this getting along too friendly made Xia Zang always feel that it seemed to prove a certain proverb, the so-called mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the happier she is.

But it's okay for him to sculpt himself in clay.

I wanted to invite my mother to sit and sit in the rental house they shared, but they were all downstairs, but my mother stopped.

"Hush, go upstairs and rest first, I have something to tell Xiaozang alone."

Yang Sheng looked at Xia Zang hesitantly, and before Xia Zang was about to say, "It's okay, you go up", he turned his head decisively and went upstairs.

"Auntie, let's talk!"

Anyway, express your concern to your boyfriend, hello!

Now Xia Zang is more and more curious about what his mother said to Yang Sheng.

"I came too hastily, and many of the things I wanted to bring were left in the main city." His mother ignored his hesitation, looking for the small bag with her lowered eyes, "Fortunately, the most important thing was not forgotten."

Xia Zang inexplicably had an ominous premonition: "You won't get me another card, will you?"

He thought he had already made it clear to his mother what he meant by rushing to pay the bill just now.

"It's not for you." The mother finally fumbled the object out.

"He doesn't want it for Yang Sheng." Xia Zang didn't even look at it. When he opened his mouth and came, his mother handed over the object, which was a flat blue velvet box.

"You just say that I gave it to him, and he must take it." The mother said firmly.

Xia Zang took the box and turned it upside down. It wasn't a bank card, but it seemed to be some kind of jewelry.

Quickly opened it and looked, it was a white jade bracelet inlaid with silver thread.

"This is the dowry that your grandmother passed on to me. The style is quite elegant and can be worn out at ordinary times." The mother explained softly, "Of course I don't want to wear it in a whisper, but I can put it away. It's just my wish."

"According to the tradition, I should give it to him myself, but I don't think now is the best time, and I'm afraid that I will forget it when the time is right, so I still give it to him."

"Pick an opportunity as you see fit."

Xia Zang originally wanted to send his mother to the station halfway up the mountain, but his mother came in a hurry and took the bus.

But his mother patted him on the shoulder and held him in place.

"Okay, you go back to the rental house, don't tell me to wait in a low voice for too long." The mother said, "I will come back later, and I will bring you delicious food~"

Xia Zang couldn't hold her back, so he had to give in and say, "Then I'll take you to the gate of the community."

Mother froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

It's approaching its ninth year, and yes, he's turning up this year.

Walking side by side with the mother, it is a head higher than the mother.

Time reminds Xia Zang of some irreversible changes in various details. Even if it may really treat some people kindly, it is also really indifferent and ruthless.

Mother and son bid farewell on the borderline of bright afternoon sun and shadow.

Seeing his mother fumbling around in the small bag again, Xia Cang took out the folded sun umbrella, he stood there silently, while she patiently shook the umbrella open and said, "Let's send it here."

The backpack on his shoulders was a little heavy, but Xia Zang still stretched his arms.

After the age of nine, he never asked her for a hug again.

So this time, it's not about begging.

This hug is giving.

You are my forever proud mother, but you will also give up some things you are proud of for me.

I can't give you anything, let alone repay.

The only thing I can do is to take care of myself as best as I can and not to trouble you as much as I can.

Doing my best...to make you proud of me.

"Actually, I want to wait for everything to settle down before I let you meet Yang Sheng." Xia Zang gently embraced his mother's shoulders, whispering to her as he did when he was a child, "I want to be more formal. Let me tell you confidently, Yang Sheng and I are living a good life, so you don't have to worry."

"I want to do a lot of things for you and Yang Sheng; but I can rarely do it for you."

"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm really useless..."

But his mother just raised her hand and rubbed the back of his head. The scent of bellflower perfume was still there, just like her mother's soft and warm voice.

"Silly boy, you've done a good job."

Yang Sheng brought the small potted plant into the house, and watched the "Weeds" bloom wantonly through the sunshine through the window outside the window.

One tall and one short, opened a pair of small golden flowers, as if cutting the sunlight down.

Not long after, the falsely concealed anti-theft door was pushed open, Xia Zang came in, his eyes were slightly red, but there was a bright smile on his face.

Yang Sheng handed over the potted plant in his hand, and said relaxedly and joyfully, "Brother, look, it's blooming."

The author has something to say:

It should be over soon~

Stretch...
