Chapter 64:
Pei Jing, I really hope your mother will be better forever.
Pei Jing is just a child in elementary school, how could he beat a grown man.
The man turned his head and saw Pei Jing's overbearing appearance, he sneered, pushed Pei Jing's mother away, and grabbed Pei Jing again.
The man was very strong, Pei Jing's arm was pinched, and there was a burst of pain immediately. He raised his head and glared at the man: "Don't bully my mother."
Although his mother treated him badly, beat him, and kicked him out of the house, sometimes Pei Jing didn't like his mother, and even thought that it would be good if his mother didn't come back when he was alone at home.
But seeing his mother being bullied by others, Pei Jing was very angry. He couldn't let others bully his mother.
The man stared at Pei Jing carefully, the look in his eyes was very strange, Pei Jing was a little scared, but remember what grandma said, when you are afraid, you can't let others see it, otherwise you will be bullied even worse, he looked straight at go back.
The man didn't seem to have much interest in him, so he threw him away.
Pei Jing fell to the ground, and there was a muffled sound from the floor. He looked at his mother who was slumped on the ground. The fear of his mother was still there, which made him hesitate, not knowing what to do.
The man straightened his sleeves and said, "It doesn't look like me at all, Pei Zhen, how dare you say it belongs to my son?"
"Could it be that you don't know which kind of man you are?"
Throwing this sentence, the man left the room.
Pei Jing sat on the ground, his arm just held by the man hurt a little, and his **** hurt a little after falling on the ground. Pei Jing got up from the ground, picked up the schoolbag on the ground, patted the dust on it, and hugged it in his arms.
Then a sob was heard.
Pei Jing froze and looked at his mother.
Pei Zhen was sitting slumped on the ground at this moment, covering her face with her hands, and there was a sob in her throat, her long hair was blown down and covered her cheeks, so she couldn't see her expression clearly.
It used to be that Pei Jing judged his mother's mood at the moment by his expression, but now he had no way of judging. He had never seen his mother cry before. She used to be very fierce. She liked to drink and had an unpredictable temper. Crying was a big thing.
Pei Jing hesitated for a moment, picked up the tissue, handed it over, and said softly: "Mom..."
Pei Zhen didn't move at first, just lowered her head and wept.
Pei Jing raised his arms a little sorely, and fell a little, but fell into a warm embrace in the next second.
Pei Jing was completely stunned.
His mother hugged him... The memory of the child being hugged by his mother for the first time, his mind was blank.
Mom was crying, and the tears fell on Pei Jing's neck, which made Pei Jing feel uncomfortable, not only physically, but also in his heart.
He imitated the appearance of others he had seen, and patted his mother on the shoulder: "Mom, don't cry."
He heard his mother's voice broken and indistinct, she kept saying that he won't come back, won't come back...
Pei Jing didn't know who his mother was talking about, was he the grown man just now? From the first meeting, Pei Jing didn't like him.
Pei Zhen hugged him for a long time and cried for a long time. Pei Jing just stayed where he was, letting his mother hold him motionless.
In the end Pei Zhen was tired, she let go of her hands silently, got up from the ground, and fell asleep on the bed.
Pei Jing looked at the slightly rising and falling figure on the bed with his breathing, thought for a while, and tiptoed out of the room.
This is Pei Zhen's room. Pei Jing seldom comes here. The cosmetics on the dressing table are scattered all over the floor. The smell of perfume gradually becomes stronger in the air, and it smells very stuffy.
Pei Jing put his schoolbag away, then boiled some hot water for Pei Zhen to take.
Pei Zhen was still lying on the bed in the same posture that Pei Jing left. Pei Jing approached cautiously and handed over the hot water: "Mom, drink some water."
Hearing the sound, Pei Zhen turned her head and glanced at him. Pei Jing avoided her gaze, still a little scared, but didn't withdraw her hand.
Pei Zhen took the water, the water temperature was right, she drank it in one gulp.
Seeing that she finished drinking, Pei Jing took the empty glass again, took it to wash it, and then entered the room again.
Pei Jing first opened the window to ventilate, and then cleaned up the mess on the ground.
Pick up the things that are not broken and put them on the dresser, and sweep up the broken things and dump them in the trash can.
Pei Jing is very experienced in doing these things. When he lived with his grandmother, Pei Jing would clean the room. Although the place they lived in was not spacious, it was tidy.
After transferring to the new school, Pei Jing was first praised by the teacher for cleaning well.
The point that is very unfamiliar to children of the same age, but Pei Jing has been doing it all the time.
He quietly and carefully cleaned up the **** on the ground, trying to lower his voice so as not to disturb Pei Zhen, but when he turned around after cleaning, he met Pei Zhen's eyes.
Mom has been watching him...
Realizing this, Pei Jing was a little at a loss for a moment. He packed up the garbage in his hand, and Pei Jing turned his head carefully to look at Pei Zhen, and asked, "Mom, have you eaten yet?"
Pei Zhen's voice was hoarse: "No."
Pei Jing said: "There are instant noodles at home, do you want some?"
Pei Zhen nodded, then turned her head and closed her eyes.
After throwing away the trash, Pei Jing found the instant noodles, opened the refrigerator and took out an egg. These were delivered by takeaway before Pei Zhen left, but the egg was not bad yet.
The high stove in the kitchen is not suitable for children to cook. Pei Jing found a small bench and stepped on it to fry eggs.
He can cook very basic food, such as cooking rice, scrambled eggs and vegetables, all of which were taught by his grandmother.
Grandma had to go out to collect garbage, and when she came back she was very tired and had to cook. Pei Jing started to learn to cook by herself, which would make grandma more relaxed. Pei Jing knew that grandma collected garbage every day to save his school expenses.
After frying the eggs, Pei Jing scooped them up with a spatula and put them in a bowl, then added water to the hot pot to cook instant noodles.
He is very skilled in doing this, but after all, he is not tall enough, so it is still a bit laborious to do it. Finally, he scooped up the noodles and put them in a bowl filled with eggs.
Pressing down on the stove, she stepped on the stool carefully, ready to wake Pei Zhen up, but when she turned around, she saw a figure standing by the door.
"Mom, the noodles are ready." Pei Jing's voice was a little low.
Pei Zhen's eyes were reddish, her gaze was complicated, she fell on Pei Jing for a long time before retracting, she sat at the table with her face upright, but Pei Jing stayed in the kitchen, now that the external crisis is over, Pei Jing doesn't want to see it very much When she arrived at Pei Zhen, she stood by the kitchen window and looked out. Over there was the Ning family's house. She didn't know what they were doing now.
"Pei Jing, come here." Hearing his mother's voice, Pei Jing walked out in silence and found that Pei Zhen was eating instant noodles. When kneading the noodles with chopsticks, he found the fried egg at the bottom and stopped.
"come over."
Pei Jingyiyan sat next to Pei Zhen, and then heard her mother ask: "Have you eaten yet?"
Pei Jing nodded: "I have eaten."
He didn't know why his mother asked this today, because he had never received such care before, and he was even more afraid that his mother would punish him if he knew that he was eating at Ning's family.
But Pei Zhen asked again: "How do you know how to fry eggs?"
Pei Jing said, "Grandma taught me."
Pei Zhen asked: "I've been away for a few days, do you still have enough money?"
Pei Jing squeezed his clothes tightly: "Enough."
Pei Zhen stood up, and Pei Jing's eyes fell on her, seeing her open her bag, take out a lot of one hundred yuan slips and stuff them into him: "Take it."
This money is a lot of money to Pei Jing, he shook his head and refused: "It doesn't need to be so much, I can spend a small amount of money."
Pei Jing didn't want his mother to feel that he was a waste of money. His grandmother didn't want him anymore. Now he only had his mother as a relative. If his mother also abandoned him, he would not be able to live. Pei Jing knew his situation very well.
But Pei Zhen thrust it at him roughly: "If you give it to you, take it away."
Only then did Pei Jing carefully spread out the money, fold it, and put it in his pocket. He thought that maybe his mother would go out for a long time this time, but the money was enough for him for a long, long time.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Pei Jing took the bowl to wash it clean, and the tap water was flushed on the bowl in his hand, the water was rushing, and Pei Jing heard his mother's voice.
"Pei Jing, how are you doing these days?"
Pei Zhen had never cared about this before, and Pei Jing replied cautiously: "Have a good life."
"Okay, stop washing and go to do your homework."
Pei Zhen strode over, snatched the unwashed bowl from Pei Jing's hand, and drove Pei Jing out of the kitchen.
Standing outside, Pei Jing was a little dazed for a moment. He could sense his mother's different emotions, but today's mother seemed to have changed.
Pei Jing woke up the next morning, packed her schoolbag and went out. When she arrived in the living room, she was surprised to find breakfast on the table. It was bread and milk. Pei Zhen came out of the kitchen with a calm expression: "Eat, I will send You go to school."
Pei Jing was stunned.
This is the first time that Pei Jing has breakfast at home after moving. He bought breakfast outside the school a long time ago, and then ate it at Ning's family. Today, his mother is going to send him to school. He thinks all this is incredible.
"Mom, it turned out that Ning Yi called me to go to school together. I want to tell him that I won't be with him today."
Pei Zhen knew who Ji Ningyi was, so she just nodded: "Go."
Pei Zhen can also drive. The white car has smooth lines. This is the first time Pei Jing has been in his mother's car. He dare not move around and sits in a well-behaved manner. As the car starts, he hears nice music .
It was still early when we arrived at school, Pei Jing squeezed his schoolbag tightly, got out of the car and said, "Goodbye, Mom."
Pei Zhen asked, "What time do you leave school in the afternoon?"
"Five o'clock."
Pei Zhen nodded: "Go in, I'll pick you up after school in the afternoon."
Not long after Pei Jing arrived in the classroom, Ji Ning came. As soon as Ji Ning saw him, he ran towards him and asked repeatedly: "Pei Jing, when did your mother come back? Did she scold you? Why? Are you going to take you to school?"
When Pei Jing knocked on the door of Ji Ning's family this morning and told Ji Ningyi the news, Ji Ningyi was surprised at the time and had a lot to ask, but Pei Jing left in a hurry and was afraid that Pei Zhen would wait. I am angry, now that I am at school, there are still 20 minutes before the morning self-study class, and there is still plenty of time.
Pei Jing was also a little confused: "I don't know either."
He told Ji Ning what happened last night and this morning, and he didn't hide anything, and finally asked Ji Ning to help him keep it secret.
Ji Ning quickly asked, "Pei Jing, are you injured?"
Pei Jing shook his head: "No." It's just that his arm hurt a little at the time, and this morning he found a bruise, but it didn't hurt.
Ji Ning said: "Pei Jing, you are so brave, you dare to drive away the bad guys."
Pei Jing was a little embarrassed by the compliment: "If someone bullies you, I will do the same."
Because Ning Yi is his friend and his mother is his relative, he will protect his friends and relatives.
Ji Ningyi believed what Pei Jing said: "You didn't eat with us today. Zhile missed you very much. Because he missed you so much, he only drank a glass of milk. My father said that he hoped you would come to our house for dinner every day."
Of course, Ji Ning felt that Ji Zhile’s saying that he missed Brother Pei Jing so much that he couldn’t drink milk was a bit false. Perhaps the more real reason was that Ji Zhile himself didn’t want to drink it. Anyway, Zhile always had many reasons. He's not going to tell Pei Jing anymore.
Pei Jing was a little sad: "I can't do it today, my mother will come to pick me up and go home."
"Pei Jing, your mother seems to have changed a lot." Ji Ning said.
Pei Jing also nodded. In fact, he had some answers in his heart. Maybe he protected his mother yesterday, so her mother became better towards him, but Pei Jing didn't know how long this kindness would last. He actually didn't like it very much. It's like walking on a tightrope, and you have to be careful of falling off. He even thinks that his mother can do it like before.
It's just that his mother hugged him last night and sent him to school this morning. Pei Jing longed for such warmth again.
"Pei Jing, I really hope your mother will be better forever." Ji Ningyi said.
Pei Jingjing nodded, but did not speak.
When school was over in the afternoon, Pei Jing was a little apprehensive. He followed the teacher out of the school with other students, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the end of school, and he only retracted it for a moment. When he arrived at the end of school, Pei Jing heard a familiar voice calling him.
"Pei Jing."
Pei Jing raised his head and saw Pei Zhen. She was wearing light makeup and an ordinary shirt and long skirt. She was very different from her previous attire, but she was so beautiful that Pei Jing could hear her classmates discussing quietly.
Pei Zhen walked towards him, took his hand, and said, "Go back."
When the hand was held and the warmth came, Pei Jing was a little at a loss. He turned his head to look at Ji Ningyi. Ji Ning waved to him with a smile: "See you tomorrow."
At that moment, Pei Jing felt that everything around him was slowly getting better.
Pei Zhen took Pei Jing into the car and said, "We're going out for dinner tonight. What would you like to eat?"
Pei Jing still didn't dare to make a request: "Anything is fine."
"What do you want to eat?" Pei Zhen asked again.
Pei Jing looked outside: "Can I eat KFC?"
It was the first time he saw Ning Yi. Ning Yi, Zhi Le and Aunt Si Tian ate KFC together. Pei Jing bought the cheapest hamburger. He thought it was delicious and wanted to eat it again.
It was just after school in the afternoon, and there were many people in KFC. Pei Zhen took Pei Jing's hand and stepped into the store. She asked Pei Jing to choose a set meal, then found a seat to sit, and went to pick up the meal.
Pei Jing looked at his mother's back, and then at the crowd around him. He felt that at this moment, he was no different from them.
When Pei Zhen came back with her meal, Pei Jing ate quietly, Pei Zhen didn't move, she was looking down at her phone.
Pei Jing raised his head and carefully glanced at Pei Zhen for many times, finally pushed the most delicious egg **** to her and said, "Mom eats too."
Pei Zhen glanced at him, picked it up and took a bite. They didn't talk much, but they had changed a lot compared to before.
After eating and getting into the car, Pei Jing finally summoned up his courage and said to Pei Zhen, "Mom is very beautiful today."
Then, Pei Jing saw that the corners of Pei Zhen's mouth were bent, and her brows and eyes softened a lot, and asked, "Really?"
Pei Jingying nodded, he is a very smart child, he knows how to be the most pleasing, and he can use this on his mother, but his mother did not listen to him before, but now he is in a state of communication, Pei Jingyong is very sincere "It's beautiful."
He saw his mother look sad for a moment, and then said, "I see."
From this day on, Pei Jing really felt the changes in Pei Zhen. She would cook him breakfast every morning and send him to school, and pick him up at school in the afternoon, sometimes eating out, sometimes cooking at home.
Pei Jing no longer goes to Ning's family for dinner. Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing can still play together in school, but Ji Zhile can't. He really wants to play with Pei Jing, but now Pei Jing won't come to his house , Ji Zhile originally wanted to take the initiative to find Pei Jing, but was told by Ji Ning that Pei Jing's mother was very fierce, so it was best not to go.
Until Ji Zhile couldn't bear it any longer, and encouraged Ji Ningyi: "Brother, let's ask Brother Pei Jing to come out for a walk."
Ji Ningyi still has a little shadow of Pei Jing's mother in his heart, and the beating of Pei Jing's mother left a deep impression on Ji Ningyi when he met Pei Jing's mother for the first time.
"Brother Pei Jing must also be thinking about it. He may also be waiting for you to call him. Brother, we have to take the initiative." Ji Zhile said.
Ji Ningyi gave in: "Okay."
Holding hands, the two children knocked on the door of Pei Jing's house, and it was Pei Jinglai who opened the door.
Seeing Pei Jing, Ji Zhile couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart: "Brother Pei Jing, let's go play together, there is a new swing in the children's area!"
Pei Jing also missed Ji Zhile a lot, so he said, "Let me tell my mother."
Ji Zhile remembered what Ji Ningyi said, that Pei Jing's mother was very fierce, he frowned a little: "Will your mother agree?"
"Yes." Pei Jing curled his lips, "My mother is fine now."
Pei Jing went home and told Pei Zhen, and he got permission.
The three children played in the children's area of the community for a long time. When they returned, Ji Zhile was still reluctant to part: "Brother Pei Jing, can we play together tomorrow?"
Pei Jing said, "It should be possible."
Ji Zhile said: "It turns out that brother Pei Jing's mother is not as fierce as my brother said."
When Ji Ning heard this sentence, he blushed a little, and when he was about to speak, he heard Pei Jing say, "My mother is a bit fierce."
Ji Zhile said: "Has brother Pei Jing's mother changed a lot?"
Pei Jingting nodded: "Yes."
Ji Zhile looked very deep, and said, "Brother Pei Jing, you have to be careful. Our teacher said that the nature of the country is easy to change."
He gave an example: "It's like the first time Yu Zihang ate my snack gift bag, and I forgave him after paying me back, and then he asked me to help him peel the egg shells, but when I helped him, he said it was dirty. No, I don’t eat eggs anymore, which caused me to be criticized by the teacher, but my mother told me that I was right, and now I will never help Yu Zihang again.”
Pei Jingxin trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyelashes quietly: "I see."
Ji Zhile grabbed his hand, shook it, and said briskly: "But we have always liked Brother Pei Jing, this will not change."
Pei Jing smiled: "Thank you Zhile."
After separating from Ji Ning Yiji Zhile, Pei Jing returned to his home, but found that the door was ajar, and the light inside was shining through the crack of the door, Pei Jing pushed the door open and ran in quickly.
I saw the man from last time in the living room, still wearing glasses and a suit, sitting on the sofa majestically.
Pei Jing immediately turned into a hedgehog: "Where is my mother? Why are you at our house? I'm going to call the police."
The man smiled, looked at Pei Jing with piercing eyes, and said, "Your mother is in the room, and it was your mother who asked me to come."
"You're talking nonsense!" Pei Jingcai would not believe it.
The man stood up and walked towards Pei Jing. Pei Jing was vigilant, but his eyes were searching everywhere, looking for his mother.
The man approached, looked carefully at Pei Jing's face, and asked, "Where's your father?"
Pei Jing said, "I don't have a father."
The man smiled, stared at him and said, "It seems that your mother really doesn't know who your father is."
At this time, Pei Zhen came down from upstairs, Pei Jing quickly slipped away from the man, and ran to Pei Zhen's side, he was too flustered to notice that Pei Zhen's thin red lips were obviously well-groomed.
"Mom." Pei Jing grabbed Pei Zhen's hand and stood in front of Pei Zhen, trying to protect her.
The man stood in the living room with his hand in his pocket, looking blatant.
"Don't be afraid, Mom, I will drive him out." Pei Jing said.
However, Pei Zhen took his hand, walked up to the man, and said softly, "Pei Jing, Uncle Tao."
