Zhao Mo Xiu Mo

Since the addition of a TV set at home, Zhao Mo and the three brothers have a new pastime in the evening.

Sanwa still stayed at the door of the house after school and watched the elder brother who picked him up and disappeared on the crossing on a bicycle, then ran out to play.No matter what the corners are, any place that no one can find can be regarded as a place for him to practice. If it is hidden, no one will be able to find it. It is better than being at home where Zhao Mo may suddenly come back and be smashed.

But when it's time for dinner, he will turn on the TV and watch the news broadcast on time, as well as programs such as Discovery, Animal World, Today's Statement and Military Report are all his favorite programs.

After eating, Sanwa climbed off the kang, squatted in front of the TV, and began to watch TV intently.The remote control is in his hand, and the most important thing is that the child is backed by Zhao Mo, the head of the family's big brother who protects the calf. Even if Zhao Jun doesn't like to watch these programs, he has to follow them obediently.

After a long time, Zhao Jun also saw some meaning. Every day, he and Sanwa would have dinner on the news broadcast, and watch science and education programs after dinner. He would go to the Westinghouse to learn a thing or two at around 08:30. Hour.

Zhao Mo was afraid that studying all day would make his second brother's head stupid, so he didn't force him to study, and let him go after watching TV programs every night.Seeing that Sanwa likes to squat and watch TV all day, and is so close, Zhao Mo was afraid that he might spoil his eyesight, so he let him sit on the kang to watch.

Children just don't like to sit on the edge of the kang and watch, and they don't like to look on the kang like Zhao Jun, so Zhao Mo thought of a trick, tied the small bench at home where he washed his clothes with a thick At night, I moved it into the house and placed it under the edge of the Kang, specially reserved for the third child to sit and watch TV.

The white and tender child sat upright on the small stool, with his back straight, staring at the TV seriously.Occasionally, Sanwa would lick her lips lightly because of the content of the show, or her eyes would suddenly become sharper, not to mention how fun it was, and Zhao Mo couldn't help but tease him while watching him, leaning over to touch his head Kiss or something.

There is only one thing that makes Zhao Mo more depressed, that is, his personality is different from that of his two younger brothers, and he can't watch the programs they watch. If he wants to watch some TV series about the short stories of his parents, he is too embarrassed to talk to the two children. Rob, can only listen to the sound of the program in the left ear and out in the right ear.

This is also good, every day when Sanwa and Zhao Jun are still watching TV in the house, Zhao Mo goes to the main room early and starts to practice his demon dance.Ever since he was able to consciously enter the space inside the wedge, he likes to carefully study the movements in the pictures on the round table first, and then come out of the wedge to do it with his body.

The effect of doing this is obvious. In less than ten days, Zhao Mo learned another picture.You must know that the movements in the 36 pictures are getting more and more difficult as they go on, and each one is more complicated and complicated. The last picture took him more than a month to learn. Learned it quickly, and made him secretly happy for several days.

The days passed unhurriedly, and it was November in a blink of an eye.In late November, something big happened.

On the afternoon of November 24th, Zhao Mo was selling pancakes and fruits outside when he suddenly received a call from his aunt Zhang Fengxia.The voice of the eldest aunt was still so shrill and high, and she said to Zhao Mo as soon as the phone was connected: "Mozi, the old man is dead, come here."

This day is the [-]th day of the [-]th month of the lunar calendar, and the weather has gradually cooled down. Even wrapped in a sweater, I can feel the cold wind blowing into my neck.Holding the phone, Zhao Mo felt that there were rumbles in his ears.

He gathered the sweater on his body with his left hand, shrunk his neck, and felt as if a cold wind was blowing in his heart.It was so cold this day that his nose was sore from the cold.

There was a beeping sound of the phone hanging up in his ear, Zhao Mo put the phone back into his pocket, and stared blankly at the spatula in front of him for a while.Grandpa, why did you go?

In fact, thinking about it, it’s true. I’ve been through it for so long. I’ve heard that the old man won’t survive this winter. Now that he’s gone, he can save his worries and suffer less.

Zhao Mo sighed softly, and slowly began to pack his things, ready to go home and change his clothes before going to the uncle's house on the other side of Jiuchang Road.

He's not cold-hearted, he doesn't feel sad when his grandpa is gone, that's what a wolf-hearted bastard would do.But if he really wanted to say that he was heartbroken and weeping loudly, Zhao Mo couldn't act like that out of conscience.The grief that he cried until his voice became hoarse was used up when his parents left one after another. Now that he wants to cry, he finds that he can't cry at all.

Moreover, at the moment when he heard the words of his aunt, Zhao Mo felt a surge of sadness from the bottom of his heart, besides sadness, there was also a hint of happiness and loss.Grandpa is living like that, he is living through life, and suffering like this, it is really not as good as throwing his hands away, it is still a kind of relief.

It can't be said that Zhao Mo is cruel. The death of Mr. Zhao is a relief, and it is a thought that will pop up in the hearts of all neighbors, relatives and friends who know about their family's situation.

Zhao Mo's grandfather, Zhao Qingfeng, had a leg injury when he was young. Since five years ago, his legs and feet have been inconvenient, his body is not strong, and he can't even cook by himself. Zhao Mo's family and his uncle's family have been taking turns to support him.No one thought that something like that would happen to Zhao Mo's family later on. The tragedy of the family's ruin made the old man unable to bear the blow. He was paralyzed and collapsed on the kang. of illness.

At that time, Zhao Mo could barely support himself and his two younger brothers, let alone a paralyzed old man.His grandfather could only stay in the uncle's house completely and be supported by the uncle's family.

The elderly like Zhao Jun and Sanwa the most. Even if they are paralyzed, they still miss their grandson.When Sanwa was still a little fool, no one dared to tell the old man about it. Until now, his grandfather doesn't know that his rarest little grandson has ever been stupid.

It was because of this that the old man didn't want to see Zhao Mo and his aunt.A stinky old man who was paralyzed on the kang and had to be waited on for many years, not long after, even the two children of the uncle's family were reluctant to go to the small wing where the old man lived in his house.

After the family settled down a bit, it's not that Zhao Mo didn't want to go to his uncle's house to see his grandpa, and it's not that he hasn't been there.But every time he went there, without saying a few words to his grandfather, he would be squeezed out by his aunt's stare, for fear that the old man would secretly give the three brothers something good.

And every time he walked out of the yard, he could hear the sound of smashing pots and slamming the door, and before he walked far, he could hear the voice of his aunt cursing, with a sentence of old and undead, and a sentence of black heart, and a few words of God The evil mourner star crackled and scolded, and he didn't need to think about it to know that he was taking his anger out on grandpa.

After going there two or three times like this, Zhao Mo not only stopped holding Sanba and took Junzi to the uncle's house, but he also never went there again.It's not that he's afraid of being angry, it's not easy for his aunt's family to take care of his grandfather, so he can bear it after a few words of scolding.What he was afraid of was that every time he went, his aunt would be angry with his grandfather, and he was afraid that the old man would be treated harshly, so he didn't dare to go at all.

Zhao Mo had heard about the fact that grandpa would not be able to survive this winter. Originally, he planned to take his two younger brothers to the uncle's house after Sanwa and the others had their winter vacation. The most beloved grandson side.I didn't expect God to be so ungrateful, and he took grandpa away before winter came.

Zhao Mo pedaled the car, his eye sockets and nose were sore, but the tears couldn't come out, they were all freeze-dried by the cold wind blowing in front of him.He rode in a daze, not knowing how he got home. He pushed open the door, looked at the empty room, and suddenly remembered that both Junzi and Sanwa were in school, and they hadn't come home from school yet.

There was no one in the kitchen, the main room, the east room, the west room, or the backyard. The deserted home made Zhao Mo suddenly feel panic.He staggered into the east room again, looked at the TV under the wall, saw a few picture books thrown on the top of the kang, and the yellow rubber duck lying on the top of the kang, his heart slowly settled down .

Huang Chengcheng, the duck on the kang, has a round and chubby body, because the three children usually take good care of it, so it is clean and there is no stain at all.Zhao Mo walked over to pick him up, squeezed it twice, and heard the duck quacking twice, a smile that was not much better than crying appeared on his face.

This kid doesn't touch any toys he doesn't want to see. He only likes the yellow duck I bought for him. He puts it on the bed all day long, and puts it next to the pillow when he sleeps. He almost brought it to school when he didn't go to school. .Thinking in his heart, he leaned over and put the duck back on the kang, arranged it properly, and muttered softly: "Fortunately, there are you..."

As long as the two younger brothers are well, he will not be afraid of anything.

Zhao Mo went to the big cabinet in the west room and found a set of black clothes and three white cloth belts. He also took out the black clothes for Zhao Jun and Sanwa and put them aside. These are all ready-made and were only used last year. However, I didn't expect it to be used again so quickly after being pressed under the box.After changing his clothes, he locked the door and strode towards his uncle Zhao Jianjun's home on Jiuchang Road.

When Zhao Mo arrived, the uncle's house was already in a mess, and the shrill crying of the uncle could be heard outside the yard through the iron gate.No one came to greet him in the rush, so he groped into the room silently, just in time to see the last side of grandpa.

It's not that Zhao Mo has never seen a dead person before, but he couldn't even imagine a skinny and withered appearance like the old man's before he saw it with his own eyes.Standing at the door of the house and taking a long look, he retreated to the corner, unable to bear to look again.

Zhang Fengxia was busy talking about Zhang Luo, Zhao Jianjun also rushed back from the construction site, and together with her, they were busy with the affairs of the old man.Seeing Zhao Mo coming, only Zhao Jianjun greeted him, then walked away and continued to work.No one expects Zhao Mo, the decent grandson of the old man, to be of any help. Even if Zhao Mo supports their family alone, in the eyes of these relatives and friends, he is still regarded as a child, not a child who can bear the burden. A worthy man.

The coffin and shrouds and other items were prepared by the uncle's family long ago, and the old man had already passed away for a long time, and after a while of chaos, he began to deal with the funeral in an orderly manner under the management of the uncle.Zhao Mo stood in the corner of the room, seeing that he was completely out of touch, so he didn't move forward.He could feel his aunt's obvious repulsion and guard against him, so he didn't want to go up to find that uncomfortable.

When it was time to finish school, Zhao Mo went out to the yard to call Fat Aunt, and asked her to watch over him. When Zhao Jun came back, he told him about his grandfather's death, and asked him to change the bed on the Xiwu Kang. Yishang brought Sanwa over to the uncle's house.The fat aunt asked a few words, and then said that she would go and have a look.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhao Jun arrived with Sanwa on his bicycle.He was out of breath and set up the bicycle. Seeing that Sanwa had jumped off the back seat by himself, he dragged the child by the arm and walked into the yard.

Zhao Mo was standing at the base of the courtyard wall in a daze, when he heard the movement, he looked up and saw two younger brothers walking in.Fearing that the people coming and going inside and outside the house would bump into the child, Zhao Mo hurried up to meet him, hugged Sanba into his arms, grabbed Zhao Jun's wrist, and walked back to the secluded corner.

"Brother, grandpa..." Zhao Jun couldn't continue speaking as soon as he started, his eyes were red and he choked up.He has a more delicate mind than Zhao Mo, the rough-and-tumble elder brother, and it is even more unbearable to look at his uncle's eyes, so even if he is thinking about grandpa in his heart, he is unwilling to step into the uncle's yard.

Unexpectedly, just to fight for this breath, he didn't even see his grandfather for the last time...
