Chapter 337
Guo Dongyue sat in a taxi, holding a bird cage like a baby, constantly urging the driver’s master, and wished to arrive at home immediately, and took the red-faced parrot to his mother.
The taxi drove past the embassy street, and the church was still brightly lit. Many church members who had no time during the day could only come by the cold wind at night. The teaching of the night hall has a beauty that is different from the daytime. If the day is solemn and solemn, then the night is mysterious and distant, as if to tell the unpredictability of God.
After turning right into the old alley, the surroundings suddenly calmed down, and pedestrians and vehicles suddenly became scarce. This old residential area does not know how long it will take to demolition. The neighbors around are looking forward to demolition and become the second generation of the United States. Only he does not think so.
Once you leave this familiar street, familiar alleys, familiar neighborhoods, and familiar residential buildings, the most important thing is the familiar home. The mother’s memory will be like a broken kite, nowhere to look.
It’s just that demolition is the general trend, and it will not delay the progress for him alone.
Just as he was fascinated, the driver stepped on the brakes and the taxi slowly stopped at the door of the community.
“Can you stop here? It’s not easy to turn around.” The driver master discussed with him.
Guo Dongyue had the heart to ask him to drive downstairs, but when he saw his reluctance, he still thought about it. After all, he probably wanted to hurry to go home to accompany his family.
After paying the car money, Guo Dongyue took the bird cage and got off the car, and put his coat outside the bird cage to resist the cold wind that was like a burst of night.
Walking into the dark corridor, he coughed, the lights didn’t light up, and the voice-activated switch was probably broken.
Illuminated by the mobile phone, he carefully avoided the debris accumulated in the corridor, went to the door of the second floor, and opened the door with the key.
The room suddenly came out with two distinct sounds, one is the tears in the living room, the other is the Kunqu in the mother’s bedroom, and the volume of the torn drama is much larger than that of Kunqu.
“Hey, is Dongyue coming back so late? I thought you wouldn’t come back today. You don’t have to run back so late, there are white babies here to take care of it, you can’t do anything…” White 姨 some guilty from the sofa Stand up and squeeze the volume down slightly. The foot is a melon seed skin, stepping on it.
Guo Dongyue didn’t say anything, just nodded at her and went into her mother’s bedroom.
The mother turned her back to the door and sat on the edge of the bed. There was an old radio on the table in front of her. The beautiful voice of the famous Kunqu opera was heard in the trumpet.
When he pushed in, the mother did not react at all, and did not move. He didn’t know if the mother was listening, or just wanted to cover the TV drama in the living room with Kunqu.
“Mom, I am back.” He tried to cried.
The mother still did not respond.
He took the coat off the bird cage, uncovered the cotton cloth that kept the bird cage warm, and handed the bird cage to the mother.
Just like the melting of snow and ice in the spring, the mother’s dull face suddenly moved, and then the eyebrows opened her eyes. “Little purple, pea yellow, where have you been? I have been looking for you for a long time, long time…”
She took the bird cage in her hands and did not look at Guo Dongyue, who was close at hand.
Guo Dongyue is a bit sad, but the mother can laugh and has made him feel very happy.
“Small purple, pea yellow, you have to swear, don’t scream, Dongyue is learning next door, don’t quarrel with him.” The mother said to them with a low voice.
Xiao Zi looked at her with her head and looked at Guo Dongyue, who was standing on the side. She suddenly said, “Please sit down.”
Pea yellow also echoed and said: “Huang Wei.”
Guo Dongyue stunned and still stood still.
“Please sit down.”
“dissolute.”
Xiao Zi and Pea Huang continued to repeat to him.
The mother’s neck moved, stiff and slowly twisted toward him, looking up at his face.
Guo Dongyue’s heart raised hope again. Although he knew that it was impossible, the mother had already forgotten his face. Then she would probably ask out loudly – who are you, why should you break into my home?
As a result, the mother just smiled softly. “Small purple and pea yellow know you? Oh, I remember this. I seem to have forgotten a lot of things recently… Please sit down.”
Guo Dongyue slowly sat on the edge of the bed, Xiao Zi and Pea Huang stopped talking.
The mother looked at his face curiously. “Who are you? Why do Xiao Zi and Pea Huang know you? I have never taken them out. They should not know others.”
Guo Dongyue hesitated again, as usual, to explain in vain that he is your son, or is it like Zhang Zi An, just like a letter, just make an identity to marry her?
Just then, Xiao Zi opened her mouth again: “Wintery! You grew up!”
Pea yellow echoes: “Grow up, move!”
As I have just said, Xiao Zi and Pea Huang are constantly repeating, faithfully carrying out the speech strategies that Richard teaches them.
Repeat over and over again.
Language is the most profound memory, and it will not be forgotten until death, because it is repeated every few times every day.
The mother stared at his face. “Have I seen you there? Do you know the child of Dongyue?”
Guo Dongyue nodded. “Know, I have been watching him grow up. Do you want to hear what he grew up with?”
The mother smiled. “You are really interesting. Winter is still a child. How do you know what happened when he grew up?”
“I will be fortune-telling, and I am always very accurate. Anyway, you have nothing to do now, do you want to listen?” he said with a confident smile on his face.
The mother shook her head. “I don’t believe in fortune telling, unless you have a way to prove it.”
Guo Dongyue knows that she has never been a superstitious person.
“Well, then I will say something that only you and Guo Dongyue know.” He thought about it. “Right, he will become an architect.”
Mother glanced, “How do you know that the child wants to be a designer?”
“Because I will be fortune-telling.” He smiled. “Remember the day, you bought it with him from the outside, suddenly the rain poured, you went to the church to shelter from the rain, you look at the dome of the church, really Pretty, and he is not convinced to say, what is this, when he grows up, to build a more beautiful big house for you to live, no longer live in this small and dark broken apartment…”
“Remember, I remember!” The mother’s tone suddenly excited. “How do you know that?”
Guo Dongyue laughed and didn’t answer. “I still know another thing, one thing that only you know.”
“What is the only thing I know?” she responded with some caution.
Guo Dongyue pointed to the two red-faced parrots in the cage. “I know that after you go to school, Guo Dongyue teaches them to talk at home, and I know what you are teaching them.”
“This is impossible!” She shook her head. “I don’t believe it!”
Guo Dongyue whimpered and said: “That is when Guo Dongyue was very young. On the birthday of your birthday, “The Wanderer”, even he himself has forgotten, only you remember it firmly.”
The expression on the mother’s face is very complicated, doubts, joy, embarrassment… all kinds of emotions are intertwined. She seems to want to cry and seems to want to laugh.
Xiao Zi and Pea Huang heard the keyword “You Zi” and immediately responded.
“Mother hands line, wandering clothing.
Departure thick seam, meaning fear of delay in return.
Who is arrogant, and reported to San Chunhui. ”
They are read in unison, and the pronunciation is clearer and more accurate than any sentence. Even the pea yellow, which is always unclear, is obviously practiced many times.
The mother kept swallowing, her fingers clenched the sheets and wrinkled the sheets.
“Why do you know? Why do you know?”
Guo Dongyue stood up and reached out to her and smiled and said: “I also know another thing – the big house that Dongyue built for you is almost finished, but he is worried that you will be in love with the old house and will not leave. Do you want to go see it?”
The mother stared at his hand, and after he sang a few times, he hesitated to hold his hand and hold it, looking up at him. “I want to be with Dong Yue, where is he, where I am going.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Guo Dongyue held her up from the bed, put on her clothes, put on a scarf and a hat, and she picked up the bird cage with the empty hand.
“Are you far away?” she asked.
“Not too far.” Guo Dongyue laughed. “There is also a pet shop nearby. Dongyue has recently ran there to play.”
“I also like pets, especially birds,” she said slyly.
He took his mother out of the bedroom and walked through the living room.
Looking at the seeds in vain, looking at them suspiciously, “So late, where are you going?”
Guo Dongyue seriously said to her: “You are off work.”
