Xu Shanlan

Gu Haiping was full of resentment here, while Xu Shanlan was heartlessly filling his mouth with dried beef. Cong Zhanyi took out a notebook, pencil and rubber pencil case for him, and said, "You will be going to school in two days. , Brother will take you to the school to register, and there may be an exam."

Xu Shanlan's mouth was full of delicious food, his cheeks were bulging like a pig's mouth, and he said vaguely, "What do you mean by going to school? I won't go."

"Going to school is to learn scientific and cultural knowledge. The teacher gives you lectures, and you study with your classmates."

"I won't go." Xu Shanlan became anxious, straightened his neck and swallowed what was in his mouth, and took Cong Zhanyi's hand, "Brother, I won't go, school is not fun."

"But we all have to go, we all have to go when school starts, do you want to stay at home by yourself like before?" Cong Zhanyi took out a handkerchief and wiped the biscuit crumbs from the little guy's mouth.

Xu Shanlan's eyes lit up: "Brother, are you going to school too?"

"Well, we all have to go."

"Come with me?"

"Yes, all together."

Xu Shanlan was overjoyed. He thought it was the same as now, but in a different place, so he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go with you." He happily stuffed all the school supplies Cong Zhanyi bought for him into his schoolbag , with his back on his back, walked back and forth two times arrogantly, it really happened.Zhang Xin laughed at the side: "Big Xu Bao also... has to go to school too, let the teacher take care of you well."

Xu Shanlan wrinkled his little nose at the third senior brother: "Big Xu Bao is the most obedient, and the teacher likes it the most."

The summer storm comes fiercely, and it goes away happily. It stops after a while, and the sky is clear again in a blink of an eye.Bare buttocks, the children ran out to the river to touch fish, or played water fights with water guns, or went to the pond to catch frogs, chattering happily.Xu Shanlan ate enough snacks, threw the rest on the kang, and wiped his mouth to go out to play.As soon as he ran to the gate of the courtyard, he heard the sound of Didi's car horn in the distance, which was completely different from the beeping sound of a tractor. It must be the uncle Yin Yi who came. The whole fishing village, even the village head, only rode a bicycle. Yat drives a car every time he comes here.

Xu Shanlan climbed to the top of the wall in three steps, and looked at the dirt road. It was indeed Yin Yi's car, driving hard on the dirt.Xu Shanlan was very excited. Today was all a good day. He jumped off the wall and fell down. Regardless of the mud on his pants, he turned and ran into the yard: "Master-brother-uncle, come here La!"

Cong Zhanyi and Zhang Xin came out of the East Wing to greet him.It wasn't until the car stopped at the gate of the courtyard that Jungle walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.He has always been quite strict, even if the younger brother came to see him, there may not be a trace of joy on his face.

Xu Shanlan followed Cong Zhanyi, he was shy and introverted, and he would only warm up to people he knew very well.Uncle Shi only comes once a month or so, so it's hard to say how close he is, so he doesn't want to take the initiative to say hello.It's just that Yin Yi would bring a lot of delicious food every time he came, and he was a little greedy, so he still had to pick it up.

Unexpectedly, the first person to come out of the car was not Yin Yi, but a woman in her early thirties, who saw Xu Shanlan at a glance, opened her arms excitedly, and shouted: "Big Xu Bao! Come here!"

Xu Shanlan was stunned, he felt that the woman in front of him was very familiar, and when he took a closer look, it was his mother, but he felt that it was very strange, so he couldn't help but hide behind Cong Zhanyi.

Xu's mother walked over a few steps, and looked at her son with an extremely longing look: "Big Xu Bao, it's mother, don't you know mother?"

Xu Shanlan didn't answer, and hid back again.Mother Xu knelt down and said softly, "Come on baby, let mom hug you, don't you miss mom?"

Xu Shanlan didn't answer, and raised his face to look at Cong Zhanyi.Cong Zhanyi stroked the top of the little guy's head and nodded slowly.Xu Shanlan let go of his hand, took a few steps towards his mother tentatively, and called softly, "Mom...Mom..."

How many times he had hoped to see his mother by his side when he opened his eyes, how many times he had dreamed of being held in his arms by his mother and loved him wantonly, and he had sat on the train for a day and a night just to see his mother.But now, the mother really appeared in front of her eyes, Xu Shanlan only felt strange and a little embarrassed in her little heart, even the most intimate title became unfamiliar, and she called it very reluctantly.

Xu's mother didn't notice it at all, she ignored the distance the child deliberately kept from her, grabbed Xu Shanlan's arm, pulled him into her arms and hugged him tightly, feeling the unique softness and warmth of a child, With his eyes closed, he murmured: "My child, good boy..." Tears flowed down my face.

Cong Zhanyi looked at the scene of mother and child embracing each other with a blank expression and cold eyes.Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I guess your days of being both a father and a mother are coming to an end."

When Cong Zhanyi looked back, he hurriedly bowed and called, "Master Uncle."

Yin Yi whispered, "Big Xu Bao's mother wants to take him home."

Cong Zhanyi said: "Do you remember this son again? Kick him away when you don't want it, hug him back when you want it, and kick it back again if you don't want it again?"

Yin Yi was stunned for a moment, surprised by the sarcasm in Cong Zhan's anecdote, and said silently for a moment: "That's their family's business, she is Shan Lan's mother after all."

Cong Zhanyi raised his head and looked at Yin Yi, and said calmly: "I don't have a mother, I'm afraid it's better than this one with a mother."

Then Jungle came over and said, "Let's all go into the house. Zhan Yi, go, pour some water, and cut a watermelon."

Mother Xu wiped her tears, stood up embarrassedly, and led Xu Shanlan to the main room.Xu Shanlan turned his head to look at the elder brother, seeing Cong Zhanyi's expressionless expression, he had no choice but to follow in.

Xu's mother said a lot of words of gratitude, and then offered a generous gift.Conglin said a few words to her politely, seeing that she was holding Xu Shanlan and was unwilling to let go, knowing that their mother and son hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, they must have a lot to say, so he said, "Stay here tonight, I'll let Zhan Yi sleep in the Westinghouse, you guys Let's have a good chat."

These words caught Xu's mother's heart, she stood up and thanked her for a while, and then she took Xu Shanlan into the east room.Cong Zhanyi silently packed up all the snacks on the kang, put them aside, rolled up his quilt and moved it to the Westinghouse, where he bought a new set.

Xu's mother was all about her son, so she greeted Cong Zhanyi, seeing his calm expression, she didn't say much, and took her son's hand to ask questions.Put the bought preserved fruit toffee biscuits and other snacks on the kang, stuffing them all into Xu Shanlan's hands.

Xu Shanlan had already eaten a lot, but he was greedy and couldn't help eating a few more.Mother-child blind date is natural, not to mention half a year is very long, but it is not too long in reality, and they got to know each other after a while, and they hugged their mother's neck and called sweetly: "Mom, mother." My nose was sore and I almost shed tears again.

Xu's mother was originally an ordinary worker in a smelter. She was very beautiful, tall and slender, with long hair slightly curly.The skin is white and delicate, the eyes are big and bright, and the long eyelashes are like a fan, flickering and flickering to kill the soul of the male colleague, known as a flower in the smelter.

Xu Shanlan's father was originally a son of a high-ranking cadre. During the Cultural Revolution, the whole family was labeled as a rightist and sent to the countryside for labor reform.After returning to the city without a diploma, he also worked as a worker in a smelter.At that time, workers were the most honorable profession, and they were all workers, but their natures were quite different.Xu's mother was born in absolute poverty, but Xu's father was black and white, and was ridiculed and ridiculed all the time.No one thought that these two people could get together, and everyone in the factory lamented that this flower was planted in cow dung.Xu's mother had paid a lot for Xu's father, but her natal family would not agree with anything, and even cut off contact with Xu's mother.Xu's mother ran out of the house in the rain one night and "eloped" with Xu's father.

The wedding of the two was extremely simple, and there were not even ten relatives and friends who came to celebrate.Xu's father hugged Xu's mother and swore to the sky: I will treat you well for the rest of my life, and I will never leave you.

Xu's father was sincere when he swore, but the reality changed too quickly.A few years later, Xu Shanlan's grandfather was rehabilitated, and the whole family moved back to the small building allocated by the government, and Xu's mother naturally followed.The conflict between an intellectual family and a daughter-in-law who was born in the common people immediately became apparent.Everyone feels that they are justified, everyone feels that the other party is intolerable, and everyone feels that they have paid a lot for the other party.

When Xu's mother was pregnant with Xu Shanlan, Xu's father fell in love with one of his mother's students.Xu's mother was also breastfeeding Xu Shanlan, got the news by accident, and ran to the smelter to make a big fuss.The factory director, women's director, and office owner all came out to persuade her, which made Xu's father unable to stay in the factory any longer.But his father was capable, and used his connections to transfer Xu's father into a government department and an institution.

So Xu's father was even more rampant and proud, and Xu's mother was even more aggrieved and angry.The quarrel between the two went from home to work, and from work to home, and the quarrel was so gloomy and gloomy.Xu's mother was determined to get a divorce, but divorce was simply an incredible thing at that time, not to mention that Xu's father was transferred to a government department, and his official career would be over after divorce. The Xu family completely disagreed and used various means to do Xu's mother's ideological work .

This matter dragged on for five or six years.Xu's mother was determined to divorce her husband, determined to fight the lawsuit to the end, and determined to obtain custody of her son.Over there, the Xu family was powerful and backed, so she had no choice but to send Xu Shanlan to the jungle to concentrate on fighting the Xu family.

Now that the matter finally came to light, the Xu family was really unwilling to confront such a crazy woman and agreed to divorce, but the premise was that Xu Shanlan belonged to them.Xu's father had been with that female student for so long, and only had one daughter.He secretly went to fortune-telling, and Xu Shanlan was the only son in his fate. The old man said with deep meaning: "The end of one fate is the beginning of another. If this matter is not handled well, I'm afraid you will Endless."

Xu's mother came all the way here, just to take Xu Shanlan home, get custody of the child, and then completely sever ties with the Xu family.

She watched her son eating big mouthfuls, feeling relieved and sad, comfortable and sad.She stroked Xu Shanlan's soft hair lovingly, and asked, "Lanlan, how is Mom treating you?"

Xu Shanlan nodded and took a sip of soda.

Xu's mother asked: "Then, is it mother who treats you well, or father who treats you well?"

Xu Shanlan said without hesitation: "It's all good."

"How can everything be fine?!" Xu's mother was angry, and her voice became high-pitched, "Is your father treating you well? What did he give you?!"

Xu Shanlan was a little scared, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mom...OK..."

"By the way, that's good." Mother Xu laughed, but the smile was only once, and before Xu Shanlan could see it clearly, she restrained herself again.She said seriously: "Lan Lan, you have to remember that your father is not a good person, your grandpa and grandma are not good people, and your aunt, their family is not good, and they bully your mother. None of them are good people! "As soon as she mentioned Xu's family, she was full of resentment and grievances. She wished she could tell the only son all the bad qualities of Xu's father, and make him hate his father since he was a child, and he would hate his father all his life.

Xu Shanlan didn't dare to eat anything delicious, and looked at her mother timidly.He couldn't understand what his mother said. Dad is dad, and grandparents are grandparents. Why isn't it a good thing?

Xu's mother talked for a while, took a few breaths, and asked: "Lanlan, mother asks you, if mother and father want to separate, will you be with mother or father?"

Xu Shanlan doesn't understand, what is separation?What is being together?He asked in surprise, "Mom, don't you want me anymore?"

"No, Mom didn't say I don't want you. Mom wants you, why doesn't Mom want you?" Mother Xu explained, "Mom just asked you, do you want to be with Mom or Dad?"

Xu Shanlan's eyes were wide open, tears slowly pooled, and a drop fell down uncontrollably.His little lips were trembling, and he asked, "Mom, don't you want me anymore?" Before he finished speaking, another drop fell.

Xu's mother was in a hurry, her patience had been worn out by the protracted lawsuits and quarrels, even if she faced her own son, there was no more.In other words, just because he is his own son, and he was born by him through untold hardships, he should be more towards himself and follow him.She said sharply, "It's not that I don't want you, it's you who said, you want to be with me or with your father!"

Xu Shanlan's tears dripped down in strings, he just asked: "Mom, do you want me anymore..."
