Growth pain

Lu Shining couldn't get through the phone again.

Yuan Sen stood at the intersection with a gloomy expression, and a cold female voice came from the phone: "The user you dialed has no answer at the moment, please wait..."

In the middle of August, the weather in Chuanyang was getting hotter and hotter. Vehicles were rushing to and fro. After waiting for a red light, someone walked forward and accidentally bumped into the back of the man in front of him.

"Ah, I'm sorry." The girl raised her head and saw a handsome face that was frozen, like a model photographed on the street, and couldn't help but take another look.

Yuan Sen moved out of the way, and the girl was still looking at him when she passed by him.

He looked straight back, "Is there something wrong?"

The girl was startled, turned around and walked away in a hurry.

Yuan Sen lowered his head indifferently, opened the address book and found a list of names.

When the phone was dialed, he looked up, another traffic light changed, he stood outside the crowd, and the people passing by had nothing to do with him.

"Hi, hello, I'm Yuansen."

When Yuan Mori was six years old, his parents took him to move, to a county town that was bigger than the village.In order to buy a house, Yang Qiongfang borrowed a lot of money from her family, but now that the demolition funds are about to be allocated, the money does not seem to be a lot of money.

Before meeting Lu Shining, Yuan Sen lived at his grandfather's house at the entrance of the village for most of his time.His grandfather raised a little dog, which was pretty cute when he was a child, and became uglier as he grew older, but he loved flicking his tail very much. When he saw his grandfather flicking his tail, seeing his milk flicking his tail, and seeing his parents, he would also jerk past him. , only barking at him.

Grandma said: "Senzi is not liked by this dog."

Yuan Sen tried every means to "bribe" the local dog, giving him ham sausage every now and then.The older generation in the countryside used leftovers to feed their animals. If Yuan Sen was so extravagant, his parents would beat him up if they saw him.

Yang Qiongfang met him once, and chased him half the village with a broom, "Yuan Sen! That's for people to eat!"

"If people eat it, don't animals also eat it?"

Yuan Zhen sat on the kang and said this, Yang Qiongfang also yelled at him: "Is there such a father as you? You are used to children!"

Yuan Zhen listened silently and did not refute his wife.

Their family has always been like this. Yang Qiongfang has the final say on everything. Most of the money Yuan Zhen earns is handed over to his wife, and the small part of the money left is not spent by himself.

No matter how you look at it, he is a good husband with 24 filial piety.

All the women in the village said so, and they all envied Yang Qiongfang.The old man Yuan's family has only one seedling, Yuan Zhen. When the land was allocated, he was allocated a good place, which was immediately occupied by the government. The demolition money was enough to support the family for decades.

Yuan Sen was too young at that time and had no idea about money. The neighbors said that his family would soon have a lot of money, so he thought about buying a few more intestines for the little dog.

The local dog became very close to him later, and every time Yuan Sen came home, he would wait for him at the door with his tail wagging.Yuan Sen sometimes stroked its dirty head, sometimes just looked at it, and casually raised its claws and threw itself on him.

Later, Yang Qiongfang suddenly proposed to leave the village and buy an apartment in the county town. Judging by that posture, the matter was a certainty.

The day before he moved out, Yuan Sen was still staying at his grandfather's house. He heard from people outside that his parents quarreled in the middle of the night over the house, and the noisy neighbors were uneasy.

His grandfather sat at the door with a horse, smoked a big cigarette and said to him: "I will not be able to find a daughter-in-law like your mother in the future."

Yuan Sen focused on teasing the dirt dog and didn't listen to his grandfather at all.Throwing out the stick, it came back in its mouth, raised his head and his nose was moist, he couldn't help poking it.

On the day of packing up, Yuan Sen was called home. The child was ignorant and asked, "Aren't we going to live with grandpa?"

Yang Qiongfang dragged him over, "Are you his child or my child? I gave birth to you, not his old family!"

Her voice was so loud that it made Yuan Sen's ears hurt. What he was thinking was that if the ham sausage was fed for nothing, the dog would definitely not remember him.

Life after moving to the county was not smooth, the house was not bought immediately, and the family of three rented a house.Yang Qiongfang has a bad temper and always finds faults and quarrels with Yuan Zhen.No matter how honest a person is, he has a temper, so the two often quarreled, and Yang Qiongfang often scratched him until Yuan Zhen's arms were covered with strokes.

Yuan Sen studied there for half a year in preschool, and was not used to life in the city. He spoke with a village accent, and would be laughed at by his classmates, and the teacher's eyes on him were not kind.But soon Yang Qiongfang became pregnant. Yuan Sen had no idea about the child in his mother's womb. Other children in the village also had younger brothers and sisters.He will also have it in the future.

It's true that his mother has become a lot gentler. Yuan Sen is a little grateful to this unborn brother or sister. The pots and pans at home are no longer smashed, and he doesn't have to fall asleep to be woken up.

But the good times come and go quickly. Yang Qiongfang suddenly suffered a miscarriage four months into her pregnancy. Hearing that it was because of the quarrel, she was so angry that her legs softened and she fell straight down when she went down the stairs.

Yuan Sen vaguely remembered that he was taken to the hospital ward, his mother's face was pale, her eyes were dull at first, but when she saw him, she burst into tears of grief.He was shocked all of a sudden, he had the real feeling of the death of his brother or sister, and he also felt regret and sadness.

The main reason was that his mother was crying so badly, she cried so loudly that the whole ward and corridors were filled with her crying.

After such a toss, Yang Qiongfang's vitality was seriously injured, and Yuan Zhen was more silent than before.

One day after a week, Yuan Sen got into a fight in class and rode on a child who laughed at him for speaking in a rustic way.The teacher notified the parents about this matter. After Yuansen came home, Yang Qiongfang slapped him without saying a word, and looked very hard, as if hating him, "You want me to have a hard time, and you come to torture me too!"

Yang Qiongfang almost exerted all her strength, if she hadn't just been discharged from the hospital and was weak, something might happen.Yuan Sen's mouth smelled of rust, and his face was burning with pain.In the past, his grandfather always said that his mother was sick at the dinner table, but this time he also wondered if his mother was really sick.

The dispute between the couple intensified, Yuan Sen sometimes couldn't understand what Yang Qiongfang was scolding.

Until one day half a year later, Yang Qiongfang suddenly proposed: "I borrowed some money from my brother, and paid the down payment after seeing the house. Let's move as a family."

The two men at the table were stunned, one was seven-year-old Yuan Sen, and the other was 33-year-old Yuan Zhen.

When he met Lu Shining, Yuan Sen could already speak very standard Mandarin, without a village accent, and his cheeks were not flushed, he looked like a very energetic little boy.

But Lu Shining was different from him.

His parents and Lu Shining's parents were greeting each other in the corridor, while Lu Shining sat on the sofa and looked out.The five-year-old doll looks finely crafted, her hair looks very soft, and her fingernails are even pink.

Yuan Sen suddenly thought of his unborn brother or sister, and suddenly wanted a brother or sister very much.

So bypassing the parents, he got into someone else's house and poked his head out.

The child looked at him, and he looked at the child.

"What's your name?" He yelled at the door, but his mother grabbed his ears and pulled him back, and apologized with his head pressed down. I'm really sorry that children are ignorant and polite.

When Yuan Sen raised his head again, the child came out and stood in front of him at some point, with a pair of bright eyes, a bit like the eyes of the little dirt dog he fed, also dark and watery.

Yuan Sen heard his gray-haired uncle call him "Xiaolu", so he called him "Xiaolu" too.

The first time he saw Lu Shining, he decided on this kid, and he will treat him well for many years to come. If others touch his bottom line, he will turn his face immediately. Even if Lu Shining's feet run over that line, he can't be really angry with him .

Was it simply because his eyes looked like the dogs he had fed?

That's outrageous.

That dog died when Yuan Sen was a teenager, and Yuan Sen was not around when he died. He heard his grandma describe: "That dog still misses you."

Hara Mori believed it.There is no other reason.When he returned to the village during the holidays, the dog still remembered him, flicked his tail at him, and pounced on him, his eyes eagerly waiting for him to come back.

He just gave it a little favor, why was it so missed.Even though Yuan Sen no longer patted it on the head like before, it still happily chased after him flicking its tail.

When passing by the pet store, Yuan Sen bought a dog leash for a large dog, and when he entered the door agreed with him, the waiter couldn't help but look at him more.

The first thing Zhang Lei saw was the dog leash on the table, followed by Yuan Sen.

Yuan Sen said: "You said on the phone that you were walking your dog, so I specially bought this for you."

Zhang Lei frantically brushed the barrage in his heart: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! !

With a smile on his face, Yuan Sen leaned back on the chair.

Of course Lu Shining would not be that dog.

He neither circled Yuan Sen nor ran after him.

Hara Mori is.
