Zhao Mo Xiu Mo

The beginning of autumn has passed, and the weather is getting cooler and cooler. You must cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep at night, otherwise you will easily catch a cold.Seeing that Sanwa was fast asleep, Zhao Mo pulled the quilt covering his chest up over his shoulders, then carefully tucked up the corners of the quilt, and then turned around and got off the kang.

Zhao Jun has already found his black autumn jacket with a little slit on the right hem, and also found Zhao Mo's wrinkled floral striped autumn jacket and long trousers, and put them on the top of the kang.

Seeing Zhao Mo getting off the kang and putting on his shoes, he asked strangely, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, you go to bed first." Zhao Mo frowned looking at the glued areas on the uppers of his pair of rubber shoes, and replied, "I'm going to pack up the wages I got today and plan to deposit it in the credit union tomorrow morning. By the way, do the math."

While talking, he looked carefully at the shoe that had been glued off, wondering if it could be glued on. He remembered that there should be some glue that he had used before at home. It was very sticky and should be able to stick to the shoe.It is said that he only bought the rubber shoes from the shoe store on Xinhua Road because they were durable. He spent more than 30 yuan when he gritted his teeth. Unexpectedly, the rubber shoes broke after only one year of wearing.

Zhao Jun let out a "hmm", took off his clothes in twos and got into bed.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred... Zhao Mo took out a stack of banknotes that were warmed by body temperature from his inner pocket, and squatted on the ground in front of the small cupboard, spitting on his fingers one by one. Counted again.There were 36 tickets in total, plus the one that Mr. Xu gave him later, it was 37 tickets, worth 700 yuan!He licked his dry lips, flattened the crumpled one, stacked it neatly with the others, and then pressed it with the palm of his hand.

He exchanged the money with his sweat. He moved an unknown number of bricks, carried an unknown number of bags of lime cement, and earned it greedily from morning to night. To him, each piece was his own painstaking effort.

He dropped out of school before finishing the third year of junior high school, and he begged the principal to get his junior high school diploma.For a half-grown guy with no education, no academic qualifications, no smart mind, and no ID card, earning so much money a month is already very good.

When he was selling pancakes at the entrance of No. 8000 Middle School, Zhao Mo also heard other small vendors talk about the postgraduate diplomas of those college students, and they could earn at least [-] yuan a month by sitting in the office with that piece of paper. , That was something he didn't even dare to think about.For him, earning money means going through the wind and rain all day, going out early and returning late to work hard.

Zhao Mo dug out his small money box and took out two passbooks, one of which was a current passbook worth 5000 yuan, which was the money he had saved from last year plus the first half of this year after excluding expenses, and the other one was a savings passbook. It is fixed every year, and there is [-] yuan in it, which is the money given by the land acquisition.

He took a look at the regular passbook and put it back again.In fact, he is not willing to touch the 5000 yuan, because it is exchanged for the land left by his parents. If it is not for the government to expropriate it, if it is not for Uncle Liu himself, he will not sell it to anyone who buys it.

When he was at the end of the road, his uncle wanted to occupy his house under the guise of adopting a soldier. If Uncle Liu hadn't intervened and asked the brigade to come forward, he and Sanwa would not even have a place to live.

Thinking of his aunt's face when she said she wanted to adopt Junzi, Zhao Mo had a sneer on his always gentle face.Said that the family was in difficulty and could only raise one more child, and picked out the second brother among the three brothers like picking melons and vegetables. I really didn't see what they were planning!

Pulling back Piaoyuan's thoughts, Zhao Mo put the remaining current passbook and 500 yuan together, and planned to deposit them all tomorrow.After thinking about it, he counted out ten more and left them outside, and put the rest back into the box together.

Tomorrow, I'm going to buy materials such as eggs, and I have to go to the center street to buy two new autumn clothes for Sanwa and Junzi. When I come back, I will cut another ten catties of meat. I have earned so much more this month. Money, we can no longer let the two younger brothers live too hard.

Besides, Junzi will start school the day after tomorrow, and the textbook fees for the third year of junior high school are more than in previous years. I heard that in addition to tuition and miscellaneous fees, there are also fees for papers, remedial lessons, etc. Teacher Gao called a few days ago to tell him that he should prepare for seven 800 yuan, which saves you from being in a hurry when you get it, and said that if you don’t have enough money, you can help with it first.

The county said that it should vigorously popularize compulsory education, and the year before last, all the junior high schools in the lower townships were moved to the side of Xishan, and became the current No. [-] Middle School.The children in the county have to go to the second middle school when they go to junior high school. The area under the poplar tree is considered good for them, and their household registration is considered to belong to the county seat. They don’t have to pay tuition fees like students from other places, and they don’t need to stay. Saved a lot of money.

If there is basically no pancakes sold during the summer vacation like last year, and if all the money is spent but nothing comes in, Zhao Mo will really worry about the large amount of tuition.Otherwise, he wouldn't be so tempted by Uncle Liu's offer of 5000 yuan.

Fortunately, he worked on the construction site for a month, and he had a lot of money on hand, so he didn't need to use the money for selling the land.This man, with extra money in his hand, can do whatever he wants with peace of mind!

Zhao Mo raised his right hand and lightly touched the snow-white fang mark on the inside of his wrist with the index finger of his left hand.A sense of warmth connected by blood emanates from the imprint, and an imperceptible warm current slowly flows from the imprint to Zhao Mo's limbs and bones.

It seems that since this thing appeared on his wrist, his life has become more and more smooth.Zhao Mo now thinks back, from the day when he was inexplicably drilled into his body by this tooth, the third child is no longer stupid, Junzi has jumped to the third year of junior high school, his body is getting stronger and stronger, and life at home is getting better and better. It's getting better and better, and everything is developing in a good direction, which is something he could never have imagined a year ago.

However, I don’t know when it started, the 36 pictures that always came to my mind involuntarily in the past have not been remembered for a long time, and the urge to move along with the villain in the picture has been gradually suppressed by him. Forget it.He also thought it was strange before, but he didn't go into it because he was too tired physically and mentally after returning from work. Now that he was completely relaxed, looking at the fang marks branded on his wrist, he remembered this again.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mo naturally began to recall the 36 pictures in his mind.As he moved his mind, 36 pictures hidden in some corner of his head popped up one after another, occupying his mind in just a moment.

As soon as these pictures appeared, the feeling that the body was about to move also emerged.Zhao Mo didn't feel dizzy at all because of the sudden pop-up of a lot of moving pictures in his mind, instead, he felt the joy of reunion after a long absence and a deep sense of familiarity.

He suppressed the urge to jump up impatiently, put the index finger and middle finger of his left hand together and gently pressed them on his right wrist, as if on the pulsating fang marks, and silently said in his heart: don't worry, don't worry, wait a minute to practice.

After silently reading, Zhao Mo grinned happily, and the imprint couldn't understand what he was saying in his heart, so he was really dizzy today!

Unexpectedly, after he finished thinking, the imprint on his wrist, which was beating gently like a heart, actually became quiet.

Zhao Mo was very surprised, he raised his wrist and looked left and right, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything strange.Since he couldn't figure it out, he put it to the back of his mind and stopped thinking about it, and started to concentrate on what he just wanted to do.

For things that he can't understand, Zhao Mo always ignores them directly and ignores them. He just does whatever he wants.This kind of open-minded personality is a great thing for his not-so-smart mind, and it also made his mind more and more straight, ignorant of those twists and turns.

He put the two deposit folders aside together, took out all the money left in the money box, and counted it again, the total was 480 yuan.After Junzi started school, there would be no major expenses. Thinking that the money should be enough for this time, he folded all the money and put it aside.

Finally, he took out a blue notebook from the bottom of the case.The notebook looks very old, the cover is plastic, and there is a beautiful girl printed on it.A ballpoint pen was clipped to the cover of the notebook, and the color on the barrel of the pen was almost faded.

Looking at the notebook in his hand, Zhao Mo's eyes felt a little hot.He didn't open the cover directly from the front, but turned it over and opened it from the back.

The front page was covered with crooked writing, large and ugly, almost every one of them out of print, and it was evident that the person who wrote them did not write very often.These words form a personal name, followed by numbers.These are the accounts kept by Zhao Mo's mother, Chen Cui, during her lifetime. Among them are the larger expenses of the family, and the exchanges between their family and relatives.

The last page of Chen Cui's handwriting was written with some personal names, and each name was followed by a number. The names of Zhao Shengli and Liu Jinfa's father, Liu Desheng, were all on it, and the others were from the Zhao family. Distant relatives and neighbors who are close.

This page records the people who attended the funeral of Zhao Mo's father, Zhao Jianquan.

Turning back are a few blank pages, the paper is a little wrinkled, and there are a few marks torn by fingernails.Zhao Mo then flipped back a few times. The handwriting on these pages was not very beautiful, but the words were correct, every stroke was carefully written, and it was written by him himself.

This is Zhao Mo's account kept by his mother's example. There are only various large expenses of the family on it, and there are not many items about human relations.On the only page that was mostly blank, there were people's names and numbers written in a mess. It was the list of people who came to Chen Cui's funeral.

Zhao Mo stopped on this page, carefully looked at each name, and recalled their relationship with his family.Although the uncle's family is not honest, but after all, it is a gift, and the favor has to be returned. During the Chinese New Year, I still have to send a box of wine; the uncle and the old uncle also came at that time, although they came reluctantly, it is also a favor It's just that when my grandma passed away last year, when I went to my uncle's house with my third baby in my arms, the whole family had a dark face. I'm afraid they won't be happy to see me go during the Chinese New Year.

Except for these three close blood relatives, the rest are neighbors who are closer, like Uncle Zhao, Uncle Liu, and Wang Gui's mother, and some are distant relatives who have been around in the past, like Xiaobiao who lives in the next door B county. My aunt and my aunt's house on the other side of the west mountain.Zhao Mo went through all these houses in his mind. He didn't hear of any of them recently getting married and having a baby, so he continued to scroll down.

When he turned to the page he wrote last time, he stopped, pressed the ballpoint pen, and wrote stroke by stroke: the wages for working on the construction site, and wrote the number 3600 in a short space.After a line, he continued to write: Mr. Xu gave it to Sanwa, and wrote 100 on the back.

If there is a chance, he will definitely repay Mr. Xu's kindness, and with Uncle Zhao's help, he will definitely send some more pancakes and fruits to Fat Aunt in two days.

After finishing writing, he looked it up and down, then carefully closed the notebook, put the ballpoint pen back in its original place, and considered that he had completed the accounting work.
