Arrived home.

Mother, you are scolding me. "I asked you to go and invite someone, why did you hang around for so long? Is it not dark and you still haven't come back? You think you are such a big person and you still let your second aunt carry you?"

,You don’t know that your second aunt is not in good health?..."

I felt so wronged and was about to defend myself. Then the second aunt spoke: "Sister, please stop scolding Mu'er. His feet have been injured and he can't walk. We are eating the 'Jiu Da'

Wan', there was no one at home when he went. He was alone there, cold, hungry and in pain, waiting for us. It was very pitiful."

"How could he be injured on such a flat road? He must have been injured while playing somewhere! I'll be busy later, see if I don't take care of him." Before the second aunt finished speaking,

Mother was in a hurry to make a judgment.

"Sister, it's not what you think. I heard from Mu'er that he met some cousin Xu on the road and he was kind enough to help him. He accidentally put his foot in the bicycle wire and was strangled.

Now, look at it, the soles of his feet are crooked, and the whole calf is black and blue, and it’s so swollen. If you’re afraid, it’s better to go to the hospital for a checkup.” When the second aunt said this, I felt

She is cautious, as if she is afraid of making her mother unhappy.

"Oh, then I'm going to find Uncle Harsh's house. I can't just hang people and leave them alone." After my mother said this, she came over to symbolically look at my feet. While looking at them, she said, "It's indeed a little swollen."

, just put some wine on it and it will be fine, the swelling will subside in a few days." After saying that, he took the second aunt to arrange the transplanting of rice seedlings tomorrow.

Like a child who had made a mistake, I huddled silently on the threshold stone at the corner of the east gate. I didn't know what to say or what to do, so I just huddled up against the door frame silently.

I don’t know how long it took. My father came back from get off work after a tiring day at the mine.

The sound of his footsteps wearing well-heeled boots is too familiar. "Puff-dong, plop-dong..." The passage of time passes from far to near.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw me huddled on the threshold stone in the corner of the east door. As he walked towards me, he put down his miner's lamp, took off the rubber mat behind his buttocks, and asked me: "Mu'er, why are you sitting there?"

Where are you on the stone? Where are your mother and brothers?"

I pointed to the kitchen to the west without saying anything. I thought my father would come over and give me a hug, look at me, and ask me how I was doing, whether I was in pain, and whether I could go to the hospital... My heart was racing.

It was so hot that tears were about to flow. However, unexpectedly, my father suddenly changed direction and walked to the kitchen. At that moment, my little mind suddenly went blank. My tears stopped flowing.

.

Maybe it was in the kitchen that my mother reported today's situation to my father, right? My second aunt probably said some words of persuasion. My father looked very anxious when he came out of the kitchen. Maybe it was because the lights were dim, right? Memory

The lamps at that time were 15 watts, and the electricity bill was too expensive. I was reluctant to use 60 watt lamps, let alone 100 watt lamps.

My father took his miner's lamp and turned on the switch. The light was blindingly bright. The bright light shone brightly on my little feet. My left calf and sole were swollen and thick, but my right foot was much smaller in comparison.

Yes, it looks quite deformed and terrifying. The blood from the skin injury has long since dried.

"Mu'er, does it hurt?" My father asked me.

"It hurts. It hurt a lot at first, but now it doesn't hurt so much. It doesn't hurt when I don't move. It hurts when I move." I answered.

"Is it true that you said that you were hit while riding cousin Xu's bicycle?" Father asked again.

"It's true. Cousin Xu flirted with me out of kindness. I was careless. I will be more careful in the future." I replied again.

"Then I will carry you to his house. You can't just let it go. There must be an explanation." Father said.

I said: "Cousin Xu took me in with good intentions because he felt sorry for me. I accidentally got it myself, so don't go looking for someone else."

"Why do you keep saying not to go to others? You may not have gotten it yourself, but you lied and said it was Cousin Xu's car that got it?" My mother came out to speak.

I didn't know what to say or what to do. I could only say weakly: "You can go behind my back and ask if this is the case, but you can't cause trouble for others, let alone ask for money."

"Look, you are so disobedient at such a young age and your elbows are turned outwards. When you grow up, it will get worse." These were my mother's words again.
