Rebirth of a Writer's Life

Tao Sheng set off with Jian Miao early in the morning, and arrived at the place where Tao's mother lived, at around 40:[-] in the morning.

Tao Sheng got up from the bed at six o'clock that day. He knew it was too early, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. The emotion of anticipation and fear was rolling repeatedly in his chest, which made him completely unconscious. Can't sleep.

Seeing his uneasiness, Jian Miao also got up early, and after washing up, the two set off.

Fortunately, the old people don't sleep late, especially Mama Tao, who has been a people's teacher for more than ten years, and it has become a habit to get up early.

So Tao Sheng didn't have to worry that leaving so early would disturb Tao's mother's sleep.

Mother Tao lives in a small apartment in City B, which is considered to be a relatively lively area in City B.In the beginning, after she broke up with Tao Sheng, Mother Tao insisted on living in a dilapidated small house that she paid for with her own savings. Mother Tao was very frugal, and refused to accept even a little help from Tao Sheng no matter what.

Mother Tao's joints and bones are not good. Living in that kind of house, her body can't bear it within a week, and the floor is still on the sixth floor.

He thought about giving money to Mama Tao, and rented a house for Mama Tao. At that time, Tao Sheng paid 3000 yuan a month, and more than 2000 yuan could rent a house for Mama Tao that was tens of thousands of times better than the one she lived in.

But Tao's mother refused, she sent back the money Tao Sheng sent back to Jian Miao angrily, saying that she didn't want the money if Tao Sheng was up to date.

During that time, Mama Tao got older a lot, and Tao Sheng was racking her brains every day to find a solution, and even went to see Mama Tao every day. The news that my mother twisted her foot when she went out.

Tao Sheng couldn't sit still anymore, he tossed and turned for several nights, and ran all over the pharmacy to find good medicine to deliver to Tao's mother.He didn't dare to send it by himself, worried that Tao's mother would refuse to accept it, so he entrusted it to Jian Miao.

During that time, I had trouble sleeping and eating every day, and I didn't know what to do.

According to Jian Miao, in addition to the sprained legs and feet, Mama Tao also had joint problems caused by water leakage in the place where she lived, and her face turned pale when she felt the pain.

At that time, Tao Sheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and for the first and only time, he begged Guo Huai.

After blushing and stammering for a long time, after finishing such a matter, Tao Sheng raised his heart in his throat.He was worried that Guo Huai would refuse, worried that Guo Huai would disdain him.

So he still remembered Guo Huai's first reaction at that time was, "Are you out?"

Then, after looking at Tao Sheng up and down with an incomprehensible expression, he didn't say much, and called Li Yao directly, asking him to take care of it.

But the strange look in his eyes caused Tao Sheng's heart to thump and hurt severely.

Now that I think about it, yes, how did he know that Tao Sheng valued this relationship so much?How could he know what kind of plans Tao Sheng had made at that time?

In the end of that incident, it was Li Yao who used a lot of connections to finally get Mother Tao to agree to move.

The cost is still the same as before, but the house is much better, a one-story apartment near the vegetable market.

On the side of one bedroom and one living room, Li Yao originally wanted to get a better one, but Mama Tao is old, and the shrewdness of leading the students is still there.Ting Li Yao said that Mama Tao was hard to fool, so he had to find a comfortable place with a very sunny view for him.

Later, after Li Yao and Tao Sheng got to know each other a little better, he tried to find a way to give Tao's mother a lot of nourishing food, and often greeted his neighbors to help take care of Tao's mother.

Tao Sheng carried her things to the corner where Tao's mother lived, and stopped nervously.

He has walked this road countless times. Even if he knew that Tao's mother would not see him, sometimes Tao Sheng would sneak over alone when he was under a lot of pressure.

If he doesn't go up, he just sits by Mama Tao's window, sometimes all night long.

He couldn't tell what he was thinking, but subconsciously, he always felt that Tao's mother's presence would make him feel at ease.Even sometimes those depressions that cannot be vented can be healed after sitting for a while.

"Are you nervous?" Seeing Tao Sheng stop, Jian Miao asked him with a smile, "You didn't even close the door."

"Ah?" Tao Sheng lowered his head abruptly after seeing Jian Miao, then frowned, and pushed Jian Miao, "You didn't even close the door."

Jian Miao said, "It doesn't matter that you are listless, I'm almost bored to death along the way."

Tao Sheng rubbed his nose, "I'm quite nervous, I think my mother might drive me away with a broom."

Jian Miao shook her head, "You think too much, it should be the toilet plug."

"..."

In front of the apartment, Tao Sheng suppressed her beating heart and followed Jian Miao into the apartment.

Jian Miao looked back at Tao Sheng and began to knock on the door.

But after knocking for two or three minutes, no one answered.The two looked at each other, not at home?

Just when Jian Miao was about to keep knocking, the door next door opened suddenly.

"Hey! Stop knocking, are you looking for Aunt Tao?" It was a pretty young woman.

"Yes." Jian Miao turned her head and smiled at the woman.

After a pause, the woman obviously recognized Jian Miao, she immediately smiled, and then nodded frequently, "Don't knock, Auntie is shopping for groceries, I have a key here."

As the woman spoke, she retracted her head.

"Key?" Tao Sheng frowned.

Jian Miao slapped her head, "Oh, I forgot about this, your mother told me last time. When you get older, you will forget to bring your keys when you go out, so you put a bunch of them next door."

Tao Sheng paused, nodded, and seemed to disagree with this move, with a worried face on his face.

Seeing his solemn expression, Jian Miao patted him on the shoulder, "I don't really want to mention Guo Huai, and I know you don't want to hear it, but he really does a good job in this matter. With such a piece, even if your mother opens up every day Sleeping with the door open, no one dares to step in."

Tao Sheng was taken aback, then turned to look at Jian Miao.

"Really." Thinking that he didn't believe it, Jian Miao nodded again.

But Tao Sheng knew in his heart, how could Guo Huai do this?It was clearly Li Yao.He knew that Li Yao had put in a lot of effort for Mother Tao, but he didn't know that Li Yao had achieved this level.

Just before Tao Sheng regained his composure, the woman also came out and opened the door for them with the key.

"Hey, Mr. Jane, are you friends?" The woman asked thoughtfully as she opened the door.

Jian Miao shook her head, "No, this is Aunt Tao's own son."

The woman was taken aback, and turned her head to take a serious look at Tao Sheng, "Oh, this is Aunt Tao's son, hello, hello, I'm Aunt Tao's neighbor, just call me Sister Li."

Tao Sheng smiled, and stretched out his hand politely, "Sister Li is lucky to meet you, my mother usually thank you for taking care of me."

"Hey, it's nothing. Aunt Tao is very nice and gets along very well. Our neighbors all like her." Sister Li said to Tao Sheng with a smile. Tao Sheng smiled softly.

Then Sister Li exchanged a few words with Tao Sheng. Tao Sheng left Sister Li her mobile phone number, and Sister Li left.

Tao Sheng followed Jian Miao into Mother Tao's small apartment, and put the presents aside.

Then I started to look around, the small house was neat and tidy, everything was in order, there was a familiar smell in the air, Tao Sheng had been with this smell for more than 20 years.

Touching the few books that Tao's mother put on the table, Tao Sheng suddenly smiled, "My mother still loves to read."

Jian Miao smiled, "Yes, I used to give her books. The books she likes to read are very old, and sometimes they can't be bought in the market. But if you are interested, you often send books to the old lady. The old lady I don’t even read the others, just this book, it’s so cute that I can’t put it down.”

Tao Sheng's hand touching the book paused, his heart trembled.

"This room is also very good. The old lady can often go out to talk about feelings with the husband and wife who are working out. It's so comfortable to walk around." Jian Miao didn't notice the change in Tao Sheng, leaned back on the sofa, and said.

"En." Tao Sheng nodded, got up and looked around.

The kitchen was also spotless, and all the dishes and chopsticks were neatly arranged. Tao Sheng turned around and returned to the balcony of the living room.

The light here is indeed very good, facing north and south, it is very comfortable, and it is also very comfortable to bask in the sun in winter.

When Tao Sheng was about to open the window to let the air in the room, he suddenly saw a figure in the distance.

Wearing black and white patterned clothes, a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, and the vegetables he just bought from the market in his hand, he walked back alone.

At that moment, Tao Sheng's eyes froze, and he saw Mother Tao.

Tao Sheng saw that Mama Tao, who used to always dress up neatly, had a strand of hair behind her ear; she saw Mama Tao, who always liked to straighten her waist and go left, bent her back;

Mama Tao is getting old.

He still remembers the first time when he plucked mother Tao's white hair, his mother smiled at him, "Don't think that white hair means you are old. If you don't grow up, Mom won't be old."

If you don't grow up, your mother will not grow old, and your mother will not dare to grow old.

Tao Sheng remembered that Mother Tao would always say that, as if she was speaking to him, but also as if she was speaking to herself.

It wasn't until Tao Sheng received an admission letter from City B that Mother Tao stared at the paper for a long, long time before stroking Tao Sheng's head as if in a lifetime.

Then with a gratified smile on his face, "Hey, my son is growing up, growing up."

"Mom should be old."

Memories with Mother Tao jumped into Tao Sheng's mind little by little. Tao Sheng didn't cry when he was hit by a car, and he didn't cry when the phone call with Guo Huai was cut off. Later, Guo Huai said that he didn't even mention Xiao Qing's name. He didn't cry when he didn't deserve it.

But when Tao Sheng saw Mother Tao walking towards him unable to hide her old body, tears could no longer be restrained from sliding down.

Mama Tao is getting old.

is really old.

She is no longer the stubborn woman who can support Tao Sheng. As spring and autumn come, her back is bent, her hair is gray, and her eyes are dull.

Her son was never by her side.
