Chapter 14 Family calls
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!
The legendary love breakup finally came to my turn. In the following days, I was like losing my soul and was absent-minded in anything I did. Seeing that I was in a bad mood, Lao Luo would always close the door early to eat and drink with me, but none of these seemed to relieve my inner depression.
Chen Liang is a gossip man, always bringing me some sad news! The man sent Wang Jiali back to school, kissed Wang Jiali in public, and touched Wang Jiali in public, and some people saw them checking out of a hotel with their own eyes.
These rumors may be true or false, but they are already a little numb to me. They are not surprised and seem to be used to it. But the anger in my heart still couldn't help but burn violently. One afternoon, Chen Liang and I drank some wine and stumbled in front of the dormitory building. I vaguely heard someone talking about Wang Jiali and mentioned my name, and my words were very filthy and vulgar.
I was so angry that I finally took action and punched the boy to the ground! Later, with Chen Liang's support, I chased the man into the dormitory and beat the man to the bruised face in front of his roommate. That night, Chen Liang and I were called to a lecture by Dr. Zhang. Dr. Zhang criticized us severely and asked us to compensate the man for a lot of medical expenses.
After this violent incident, Chen Liang and I became famous on the school's notorious list. Those young and restless boys admired us very much, and no one dared to disrespect us again! For those who don't like us, every time they see us, they are afraid of hiding the road, and are afraid of having something unpleasant to us.
Impulse is a devil. I was indeed a little out of control after drinking. I shouldn’t have chased the man with a wooden stick, which made the boy limp for more than half a month. But for some reason, I was still very happy. After all, I finally became strong for such a time. However, the expensive medical expenses were very depressing for us, which cost us a lot of money. We were originally poor, and finally put some money in our pockets, but a violent incident almost emptied us both.
From then on, I rarely heard rumors about Wang Jiali because no one would talk about her again.
Just when I was in the worst mood, one evening I received a call from my family. This was the first time my family called me in five years in Shanghai. I couldn't help but feel joy in my heart and said happily: "Dad, why did you call me suddenly?"
The father replied on the other end, "Oh, I have something to tell you, let your mother tell you!". My father is a veteran with a straightforward personality. After saying a word, he handed the phone to his mother.
The mother smiled and said, "Xiao Feng, how are you doing in Shanghai recently? Are you doing well at work?"
My mother asked this, obviously she didn't know my condition at all, and she thought I had been working. I was a little disappointed and replied with a smile: "Haha, I'm still in the second year of college and will not graduate in July next year!"
"Why are you still studying? You are so old? When will you study?" The mother seemed a little unhappy and said, "I don't care about you. Take care of yourself, but the family doesn't have any extra money!"
I suppressed my unhappiness and replied, "I am not asking you for money now, and this call was also called by you!"
After hearing this, the mother smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, I know, I know! That thing, I have a cousin, the granddaughter of your grandmother and sister! In her early years, she married into the distant mountains, and we couldn't contact each other. Your cousin's family is not in good condition and life is very hard! A few years ago, your cousin and your cousin died one after another, leaving only your poor nephew, lonely!"
I was confused and never heard my mother mention this so-called cousin. My mother has many brothers and sisters, and she ranks at the bottom of her hometown. Originally, I had a lot of cousins and cousins. My nephews were in a large group. Why did there be another so-called nephew!
Before I could speak, my mother continued to nag: "That child is very pitiful. I came to our house a few days ago to visit us, hoping we can take him in! Xiao Feng, we are all relatives, and we must help if we have difficulties! Our countryside is all about farming, and he wants to follow us, and there will be no great prospects in the future! You can see if you can take care of him in Shanghai, let him come to live with you, and help him find something to do!"
After hearing this, I was shocked and sweated, and quickly replied, "Mom, what are you talking about! I am still in school and I haven't settled on work. How can I help him!"
After hearing this, my mother immediately cursed: "Why can't you help? You have been reading books for so many years in vain, why are you so unaware of the worldly ways! When you were in college, you didn't have your elder brother or these relatives to lend you money, you're a nonsense. You are a nonsense! I don't care about you, I've agreed with your nephew. He was so happy when he heard that he could come to Shanghai to hang out with you. You are all boys, and you, the uncle, should..."
My mother is a countryman. She has never read any books and scolds people endlessly. I know that some things they have decided on, so she never changes her words! The countryman is very proud of her. Since my mother has made the decision in private and told the so-called nephew, I am afraid that she will stick to the end of this matter if I don’t agree with it.
I had no choice, and it was useless to be anxious. What else can I do except accept my mother's arrangement! I replied to my mother and said, "As long as he is not afraid of hardship, it doesn't matter if he comes to Shanghai to live with me!"
After hearing this, the mother was overjoyed and said with a smile: "This is like being an uncle! You are not young anymore, you are a genius long ago. If you want to take a little bit of your belly, you have to share the worries and problems for your relatives! Oh, by the way, your nephew has a cousin, the son of your other cousin! Your other cousin and this cousin have been married to the same mountain one after another! Their cousins have both pitiful life experiences, and they are both your nephews. They will come to Shanghai to find you together!"
"What?" I was so surprised that I was speechless and couldn't help asking: "There is another person, this..."
"What?", the mother scolded fiercely: "Why are you so ignorant? Isn't one of you the same as two people? Children who grew up in the mountains have worked hard at home since childhood, and they are more than your directors! Feng'er, please tell me. If you don't take good care of your two nephews, you will never come back in the future. I will pretend that I have never given birth to you as a beast!"
My mother's words of cursing people are getting more and more ugly. I can't understand why she said such excessive words to me because of a relative who cannot be far away.
Due to my mother's threat, I had to reluctantly agree to her and write down the schedule and time of the two of them.
After hanging up the phone, I sat limply on the chair and looked at Chen Liang in despair.
Chen Liang asked with a smile: "Xiao Feng, are you talking to your family? Are you a relative who is coming to Shanghai to find you?"
I replied weakly: "Yes! Why, you can understand what we are saying in our hometown?"
Chen Liang nodded and said, "Of course, most of your dialects are a bit similar to Mandarin, and the tones are different. Of course I can understand them! When will they come? I will accompany you to pick them up, hahaha!"
"Smile!" I said angrily: "I'm done in the future, how can I live this life!"
"What are you afraid of?" Chen Liang got up and patted the table and said, "Isn't it just two people? If you move this table, you can sleep one more person in the room! Then you sleep one in your room and one in my room, and it will be done soon! Oh, by the way, your two relatives are both men, right?"
I nodded and asked Chen Liang with a frown and said, "What do you mean is that I can temporarily arrange them to live in the dormitory?"
Chen Liang replied happily: "It's easy to deal with all men. Anyway, we live in this dormitory. Let's live first, and then find a way when we graduate!"
After saying that, Chen Liang returned to his room, packed the messy books aside, and began to prepare in advance.
Seeing that he did not hesitate to find a way for me, it was really worth it for this brother to be.
But I am always uneasy. Just these two children from the mountains have never studied any books. What should I do for them in the future?
