[291] Your father(1/2)
Song Tang refused to go home, so after morning self-study get out of class, Fang Chang'an secretly called Song Mei to ask if he had a disability certificate or something.
Song Mei arrived at the school on the 5th and reported that it was already the 3rd day and she was still working in the store, so she answered the phone slowly. After hearing Fang Chang'an talk about the situation, she thought about it for a while and was not clear about the situation in this regard, so she replied: "I don't know either. I'll go home and ask."
"Okay, if there is a result, please tell me."
"good."
Song Mei hesitated for a moment before responding.
She understood what Fang Chang'an meant. Song Tang was still unwilling to go home, so naturally he was unwilling to use that person's ID to try to apply for more scholarships. Therefore, Fang Chang'an asked her to get the ID and bypass Song Tang and give it to him directly.
"Thank you."
"Don't be polite, I'm the squad leader and I'm responsible for the vote."
Fang Changan smiled, "If it's okay, I'll die."
"Um."
Song Tang responded softly, hung up the phone and continued to be busy.
She is now in the second "Laifu Shuijian Bun" in the city center. It is closer to home because the price is too expensive. The business was not very good when she opened the store. However, after a summer vacation, a group of regular customers have gradually formed, and the reputation has been promoted. Now the business is no longer worse than that in the commercial area. Because of the location, there are customers in almost every time of the day.
The morning rush hour started around 8 o'clock. After finishing the work, I had a brief rest, cleaned up, and ate two buns. Soon it was busy at noon again. After finishing the work, I cleaned up and it was almost evening.
Song Mei is in the morning shift, from 7:30 to 6:00 pm. Because the store is busy, she didn't leave the store until it was nearly 7:00.
After the college entrance examination, she originally stayed at a friend's house, but she couldn't live in someone else's house. She moved to her house for two days and then moved out again. She shared the rental with a clerk in the store for the past two months, and after school starts, she will move to the school dormitory to live in.
She hasn't been home for nearly a week. After getting off the bus, she went to the fruit shop next to her and bought some oranges and bananas.
She has been sensible since she was a child, but she didn't have to worry about this kind of thing because her family is not short of these. However, since the accident half a year ago, the family's situation has suddenly become tight, and Song's mother rarely wastes money to buy these, so she occasionally buys some and takes them home.
"Is Song Mei back?"
Because she didn't want to be recognized, Song Mei walked a few steps in the opposite direction of the community and went to the vegetable market to buy fruits. However, at the entrance of the community, she was still recognized by her familiar neighbors.
"Um."
She responded with a smile and walked into the community.
The day is still long and the night is short, but at around seven o'clock, the dusk has already shrouded. Even the grass and trees where she grew up are familiar. She even felt in a trance that she seemed to see the figure of herself playing with her sister when she was a child in the corner, but that was obviously an illusion.
This is a community that was equipped with elevators in Yunlong City. It is a bit old now, but it has no effect on its use. After leaving the elevator, she silently opened the door with a bag and heard the quarrel coming from inside.
When she moved into this "new home", she was still in elementary school. She remembered that the whole family was very excited, bright, spacious and clean, and seemed to have some residual smell after minor decoration. In the following years, the home gradually became familiar with it and lost its freshness, but it was always clean.
But it seems to be a lot messy recently, and the floor is no longer as clean as ever.
"If I die, you will be quiet, right?"
"You wish I would die sooner, so I would drag you down. Can you go find a wild man?"
"You are just a bitch, you mother and daughter are all!"
"Dog god!"
"No conscience at all!"
"Why don't you think about how many years I have raised you? How many years have I raised you mother and daughter?"
"Why don't you say that when I work hard and tiring to death?"
"ah?"
"Why didn't you dare to talk to me like this at that time?"
This is Song Yuan’s irritable and angry voice in the master bedroom.
Then there was Song's mother's cold response in the kitchen. Song Mei remembered that her mother had a very nice name, named Wei Shuyi, and she also learned dance and worked as a teacher. She saw a photo of her mother when she was young. She was very beautiful and belonged to the kind of beautiful woman with a very temperament.
She heard her say, "You want to hang yourself, no one cares about you."
"Why am I dead?"
"I just want to live well!"
"The more you want me to die, the more I want to live well!"
"You bitch! Do you want me to die? Ah? I haven't eaten for a day. Are you going to starve me to death?"
"What did you do during the day? Why did you come back so late? Did you go to find a wild man?"
There was only a faint voice in the gap in the kitchen: "If I don't look for a wild man, where do you get the money for food and medicine?"
"You are just a bitch! Prostitute! All three of you mother and daughter..."
The sound on the master bedroom became more and more violent, followed by a string of dirty scolding.
Song Mei changed her slippers, tidied up the shoes that were not placed on the shoe rack, placed the bag on the coffee table in the living room, and tidied it up in the bag and tied it. Then she walked to the kitchen door and shouted: "Mom."
Song's mother, who was scraping potato shreds with a wire scraper, was startled and relieved when she saw that it was her daughter. Then her expression froze again, and then she squeezed out a smile and said, "Mimei is back?"
Song Mei nodded with a smile, then walked to the master bedroom again. Song Yuan, who had stopped cursing, half lay on the head of the bed and showed a smile at his daughter: "Mimei is back?"
Song Mei didn't say anything, but bent down and picked up a bottle of medicine on the ground, then picked up the scattered pills one by one and put them in the bottle.
"Dad is inconvenient to move, so he accidentally got rid of the medicine."
"Sit here and talk to dad..."
"Meimei..."
Song Mei picked up all the pills, then placed the medicine bottle on the ground, ignored Song Yuan's words "You let the medicine go, dad can't reach it", turned around and walked out of the room, and closed the door.
She simply cleaned the living room, then washed her hands and went to the kitchen.
Song's mother was cutting shredded potatoes. When she saw her daughter's puzzled look, she smiled and said, "Don't you like to eat and cut them?"
“I’ve eaten.”
Song Mei came to the dishwasher and picked up the dishcloth to wash the uncleaned dishes inside.
In silence, the whistle outside the window was faintly heard from the wavy to the car and the hilarious sound of children from unknown places nearby.
Song's mother cut the shredded potatoes, soaked them in water, cut ginger, garlic, and green peppers, and then turned on the gas. While waiting for the pot to heat, she used a shovel to make the water droplets inside spread out, and then said suddenly: "It's busy today, it's a bit late to get off work."
Song Mei put on the bowl that had just been washed, ginger and garlic, and put it in front of the stove, and smiled and said, "Me too. The business in the store has been getting better and better during this period. I think it's busy and it's almost seven o'clock to get off work..."
Song's mother did not speak, silently put the seasonings and shredded potatoes into the pot, and seemed to remember something, saying, "There is still a little meat in the refrigerator, please take it."
"Um."
Song Tang went to the refrigerator to take out the remaining piece of meat, put it in water to suffocate, and found another onion to help cut it.
"Give it to me."
Song's mother put out the potato shreds and took the kitchen knife from her daughter. Song Mei stood beside her and talked about her sister's application for poverty alleviation scholarships.
"How much money can you get?"
"Her class monitor said that if she can apply for extreme poverty, there will be two thousand in a semester, and one thousand in an ordinary semester."
"So much?" Song's mother was a little surprised.
"Um."
Song Mei nodded, "There must be some in colleges. I will apply for it when the time comes. It seems that in addition to the school, there are also national poverty scholarships... the loan has also been applied for."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "When my salary is paid this month, buy him a wheelchair."
Song's mother glanced at her daughter, then continued to lower her head to cut vegetables, and then thought that it was the onion that was cut, so she lifted it up again and said, "No need."
"He's going to get worse and worse when he's always inside the house."
"It's okay... I'll lose my temper when I buy a wheelchair. It's the same. Don't waste money, you still have to go to school."
"I have a loan and can work part-time on weekdays. Plus working on holidays is enough."
"The summer vacation is too short, and you can't make much money. You have to spend a year... don't waste it."
“Buying a wheelchair is not a waste.”
Song Mei persuaded her for a few words, and Song's mother was silent for a while, and finally said, "Let's talk about it in a few days, apply for the scholarship first."
She put out some of the two dishes and put them on a plate, then took a steamed bun hot in the rice cooker and sent it to the bedroom, and then came back. Song Mei had already served three bowls of porridge, but Song's mother still brought a bowl into the bedroom.
Two months ago, Song Mei moved back and lived there for two days. When she was delivering food to Song Yuan, he grabbed it on the bed. Song's mother poured a bowl of porridge that had just been served from the neck and rescued her daughter. Since then, she has never let her get close again.
When she came out of the bedroom, Song's mother took out the disability certificate that had just been issued not long ago. This was originally applied for the purpose of applying for subsidies for poor students and national subsidies for Song Mei University.
She gave the ID to Song Mei and handed out three other books. When Song Mei saw that it was a real estate certificate and two passbooks, she asked strangely: "What are you doing for me?"
"You take it."
Song Mei shook her head and put all three notebooks on the table.
Song's mother hesitated for a moment, and did not continue to hand it to her daughter. She picked up her passbook and said, "This one was saved by me before, with two thousand yuan, and the password is your birthday; this one is still more than six hundred, and the password is your sister's birthday, and the property certificate. I will put it in your bedroom table afterwards. I am afraid that when will he lose his temper again, and then tear it up."
Song Mei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does he still lose his temper often?"
“It’s much better.”
Song's mother didn't say much, turned on the TV, pointed to the two-part dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "Eat more."
