I felt so distressed that I couldn't help but say something harsh: "Why are you here? Do you still remember that I am your mother?"
Xiao Yijing smiled awkwardly and flatteringly, but when he saw that his mother had seen the hole on his knee, he turned sideways in embarrassment.
The first words I said to Aunt Xiao in such a long time: "Mom, I'm hungry!"
Aunt Xiao got angry when she heard this, and she muttered, "Are you hungry? If you're hungry, you can eat at home. We've split up, so why are you still looking for me?"
Although he said this, he turned and went into the house, brought out a bowl of corn paste, and placed it on the table that had been set up in the yard long ago.
Then two plates were brought out from the room, one of pickled vegetables and the other of fried cucumbers.
Finally, a large bowl of loofah soup was brought out from the kitchen.
With a droopy face, he handed the chopsticks in his hand to his eldest son: "Here, eat. They say children owe their children a debt, a debt of their own. I really owe you!"
Xiao Yijing smiled ingratiatingly at his mother, then took the chopsticks and started eating.
These dishes should be prepared in advance.
So, it wasn't that hot anymore, and Xiao Yijing wolfed it down.
It’s delicious, delicious, I’ve always kept that taste in my mind.
After drinking a bowl of hot corn porridge and eating two cornmeal cakes, Xiao Yijing was so satisfied that he burped.
Aunt Xiao looked at her son's fierce eating attitude, turned her head away and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
How can I live like this? How can I live like this?
Then I stopped looking at him.
After Xiao Yijing finished eating, he smiled embarrassedly at his mother.
After laughing, he took out a pile of banknotes from his pocket, and put them on the table in a crumpled state without even rolling them up. "Mom, I'm here to give you some money. I asked Hehua to take the food back to her parents' home, and I went out to find some side jobs and made a few dollars. Take this money and exchange it for some food."
Aunt Xiao looked at her son's hands. They were rough at best before, but now they were full of cracks.
It’s not winter yet, why is your hand like this?
Aunt Xiao could hold back no longer, and tears streamed down her face.
"Son...what are you doing?"
Xiao Yijing smiled again, this smile was filled with humility, helplessness, pain and despair.
This smile made Aunt Xiao feel even more distressed!
"Tell me, are you in trouble? If you are, tell Mom. If you can't help, we can ask your eldest brother, your third brother, or even your Uncle Lin. Boss, you have to be nice!"
Xiao Yijing smiled bitterly again: "Mom, it's nothing, I'm just tired from work. Really, Mom, I even bought you some snacks," he said, pulling out a handful of fruit candies wrapped in cellophane from his pocket.
He held the candy in front of Aunt Xiao and said, "Mom, you eat it, and give it to the children too."
Aunt Xiao's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at her child carefully.
Finally, he reached out and took the handful of melted candy.
Xiao Yijing smiled again, this time with some joy.
"Mom, I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
After taking two steps, he turned his head again, leaving Aunt Xiao with a helpless smile: "Mom, I am unfilial!"
Then, the figure disappeared into the sunset.
Aunt Xiao looked at the candy in her hand and the money on the table, unable to calm down for a long time!
What's wrong, boss?
After a while, Xiao Aimin also came.
I saw my wife holding a handful of candy in her hand, sitting at the table like a wooden stake.
With a look of surprise: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Xiao was stunned for a second: "Old man, the boss came just now, it was weird! Could something have happened?"
Xiao Aimin scooped up water to wash his hands and face, and asked casually, "What's so strange?"
Aunt Xiao was uneasy, and her voice was a little shaky: "He asked me for food, told me he was gone, and finally came back to tell me that he was unfilial."
Xiao Aimin paused while wiping his hands, his expression becoming anxious. "When?"
“Just now!”
Xiao Aimin: "It's bad, just wait, I'll find him!"
