Chapter 62
In fact, the food in this small restaurant, no matter how good it is, is limited. The two meat dishes are said to contain meat, but they are actually vegetarian soups with water.
One portion of Tofu stewed fish , mostly tofu, not fresh at all, and one portion of stir-fried meat with sauerkraut, with so little meat that you can almost count it on one hand.
Pan Erniang has not been greasy for a long time. Lao Ding thinks she is not a serious wife. She is just a partner at best, which does her no good.
Furthermore, he wanted to save money to give his stupid son a wife, and he held it tightly in his hands. People say he is a hot chicken - he is broke and no one is more stingy than him.
Living with him is not easy. He never spends a penny for others. Pan Erniang took another bite and he felt sick. What's good? He can either eat it himself or keep it for his silly son. He was too old and didn't want to have another child, but he couldn't afford to raise a child of his own.
As for Pan Erniang, she is not his wife, but an outsider.
The Ding family has cabinets dedicated to storing rice, noodles, grain and oil. There was a lock on the cabinet and he had the key. Only when cooking, he unlocked the door himself and said that the rice to be used would be given to Pan Erniang. He would also often go to the kitchen to watch to prevent her from stealing food.
What Lao Ding and his son eat is different from what Pan Erniang eats. The kind of noodles that Pan Erniang eats are made with steamed corn and delivered to the dock. It's full of gravel and sometimes even bugs.
Their family makes steamed buns and there is no shortage of flour, but white flour has always been something Pan Erniang can't eat, so she just makes steamed buns and sells them in the store. Old Ding also had to count the number of steamed buns made in person to prevent Pan Erniang from covering up half of them in private.
He has dug out the kingdom. Under such a man, Pan Erniang did a lot but had little to eat. Because she hasn't eaten meat for a long time, she sometimes smells the smell of lard being cooked by others and wants to take a bite of the hot oil from the pot. She really wants to eat meat.
But now she is a mother. Since she is a mother, she cannot ignore her children. Motherhood overcame her desire for flesh. She used her chopsticks to pick up the tender fish meat under the fish's gills, but instead of putting it into the bowl, she gave it to her daughter. "Good boy, eat more. Only when you are full can you have the strength to study."
Rongzhen handed it back to her. "Mom, you can eat it."
Pan Erniang came back with another chopstick of fish, but they pushed each other back, as if it was something.
Sure enough, he said helplessly, "If you push it any longer, the food will get cold. You'd better eat it quickly. We won't be short of meat in the future."
Pan Erniang couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?"
Rong Jane didn't answer, but just advised: "You eat first and wait until you finish eating." She was afraid that if she said this, her mother would not be in the mood to eat.
This meal is a bit unpalatable, but Rong feels very sweet. Pan Erniang had no choice but to give her a piece of meat scraps and a sip of soup to make her feel that she was loved by her mother. Even after being separated for so long, her mother was still her mother.
After eating, Pan Erniang asked again: "What did you want to say to me just now?"
The matter was at stake and she did not dare to speak easily. She hesitated for a long time before saying: "Mom, are you willing to leave your current home and live with me?"
Before, she was very confident, thinking that she would definitely agree to her words, but as soon as she said those words, she suddenly lost her confidence.
She hurriedly added some chips to herself: "I can make money now, a lot of money, to support my family."
Rong said, taking out the cut newspapers and the bills remitted from the newspaper office, full of enthusiasm. Handed to mother expectantly. "Look, look, I can make money."
Pan Erniang is illiterate. All she knows is money tickets. She looked at the ticket and the newspaper. She said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Fu, you know, my mother is illiterate..."
Zhen Zhen did not react. My mother couldn't read the words, couldn't read the numbers, and didn't react when she looked at the money receipt.
"Mom, this newspaper is my manuscript, and the money stamp is my manuscript fee. The two times add up to 60 yuan."
Pan Erniang was greatly surprised: "Oh, why are there so many?"
Rong explained: "I With one and a half thousand words, I contributed more than 30,000 words, a total of forty-eight articles. The last time, I wrote better, three yuan and twelve yuan, one thousand words, that’s all."
Pan Erniang was stunned and murmured: "My son, you are promising now. "
For a moment, she almost lifted the neatly cut newspaper with both hands, as if she was holding something sacred, and shouted with a smile: "My son, you succeeded, your words can be published. . "
A big teardrop fell on the newspaper. She hurriedly reached out to wipe it, but the teardrop wet the newspaper, causing a water stain.
Pan Erniang seemed to have done something wrong, panicked and said: "Sister Fu, hurry up Put it away. It's my mother's fault that your handwriting is wet. "
Rong Zhenzhen comforted her, "It's okay. Just a newspaper. It doesn't matter if it's burned. "
" How is this good? How is this good? Pan Erniang said uneasily: "A thousand words here are worth three yuan." "
Rongzhen couldn't help crying. "No matter how valuable it is, how much is a newspaper worth? If it breaks, it won't cost much to buy another one. "
Pan Erniang took out a handkerchief from her arms, carefully wrapped a stack of newspapers, and said: "Jeff's handwriting cannot be broken.
From beginning to end, she never doubted Rong's words and three articles. In her heart, her girl was just so capable.
Rong said to her again, "Mom, look, I can earn so much money. So you can live with me. Don't stay in the Ding family and suffer. You work like a cow or a horse for them, but you don’t have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm. You can live with your own daughter, but you can enjoy a happy life. "
She was afraid that her mother would reject her, so she wanted to make ten thousand promises to prove her ability and filial piety.
But Pan Erniang didn't pay attention to this at all. She was silent for a while, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Fu, you succeeded, your mother Naturally happy. However, how can you have the infamous mother of an innocent girl? People will laugh at you. "
" won't. Rong Zhenzhen took her mother's hand and said sincerely, "Absolutely not." We will rent a house on Jiahe Avenue, where there will be no rumors. Neighbors who used to gossip behind my back would not even talk to other people's old ladies. We are already different people from them. "
"Besides," she continued with a hint of sadness and indignation, "you clearly didn't do that. It is the bad intentions of others that cause these troubles. Why pay for someone else's mistakes? They make irresponsible remarks and they should be punished, but they want to separate us. Where does this come from? "
The principles in this world are sometimes really strange. When a person makes a mistake, he often has to pay the price for his mistake, but when a group of people make a mistake, they have to pay a small price or even be punished.
If the person who made the mistake How can there be more people than people who never make mistakes? What to do? What is wrong will become right, and what is right will become wrong. The innocent people are tied up without a place to redress their grievances.
It is the biggest mistake to make a mistake.
Pan Erniang added, " Kejiahe Avenue is a place where wealthy people can afford to live. How can someone like my mother deserve to stay there? "
Rong Zhenzhen felt sour and painful in her heart. She gritted her teeth hard to hold back her tears. "My mother is not unworthy. Now I can earn 90 yuan a month by writing a thousand words a day. I can afford to live in that kind of place, and the Zhao family doesn't dare to make trouble - it's not something they can afford. "
Pan Erniang was still a little worried: "I wonder if Lao Ding will let him go? "
"You don't have to worry about this," Rong Zhenzhen had already considered this issue. "If you don't go through that procedure, he can't stop you from leaving. Give him two dollars and you can get rid of it. "
She had considered everything on her mind, and Pan Erniang had no room for refusal. She sat blankly, her rough and swollen fingers curled up uneasily.
Rongzhen noticed that most of her messy hair was white She has a few scattered black hair, dark eyes, a pair of big bags hanging under her eyes, and her face is haggard and yellow, but she looks really old.
I am really determined. :If my mother doesn't leave, I will tie her up.
For a long time, Pan Erniang murmured: "What if people laugh at you, what if the school hears that your mother is not good and doesn't want you to study?"
Rong has always been humble and low-key, but now in order to reassure her mother, she had to twist Praise yourself as much as you can: "Don't worry, I'm always number one in the school. Can't bear to leave me."
She tried to put on a very proud and confident expression: "My editor wrote to me that if I continue to work hard, I will definitely become a very famous writer. No one dares to laugh at us anymore."
She said firmly. Pan Erniang also felt that her daughter was capable and gradually felt relieved. She said: "In this case, I will go back and discuss it with Lao Ding. After I pack my things, I will come out to live with you."
Rong hurriedly said: "Don't talk to him alone."
Although she is still young, She knows a common problem among many men: she hates women being disobedient.
Although her mother was not Lao Ding's serious wife and her family's "property" had gradually slipped away, no man could bear it. What if he gets angry and starts hitting people? How could she withstand the boss's fist if she was so weak?
She made up her mind and discussed with Pan Erniang: "Please bear with me for a day or two. I will repair the house today, but no later than tomorrow. Then I will hire two people to help you get the things. After you take them, pack them , Stay here. Make up for whatever is missing."
Pan Erniang said: "Mom, you don't have anything. Spend money to hire another person."
Rong Zhenzhen refused to change her words, but said firmly, "This is essential."
She looked at Pan Erniang, who was a little worried about money, and said softly. Said: "Mom, just come with me."
How could Pan Erniang refuse her like this? I have to do everything according to her.
