The silence on the phone stuck on Kong Jie like a needle: "Mom...."
"Hey? Hey? Hey hey hey? What a broken phone, why can't you hear me, Applejack? Applejack! Can you hear me...beep!"
The phone hangs up.
In the 1970s, Mrs. Kong learned the "bad signal" without a teacher.
The phone in Kong Jie's hand was so heavy that he couldn't lift his arm.
He knew that he was telling the truth to his mother, saying that Connie had smashed Aunt Ye Shu's TV, and he wanted to compensate them, but his mother would definitely not take the money.
But he didn't expect that when he told his mother that he was ill and needed money urgently, she didn't even bother.
2000, not much! He now pays his mother 60 yuan a month for living expenses! More than half of the salary!
In addition, in the previous years, he had always given more than half of his salary to his mother. Before marriage, even all salary was handed in. She just spent some, and 2000 was more than enough.
And she manages the money Ye Shu wants in various names. 2000, she should have it.
There was one thing he didn't confess to Ye Shu. He looked at the ledger on the bedside table once a long time ago, and he didn't look at it again after that.
He dare not.
Or, the mother really had no money, and she gave all his money to his two younger brothers.
She was reluctant to give him a penny. When he was sick, she didn't give him a penny to save his life, but gave his money to his brother who was free from illness and disaster.
The same son, why is the gap so big? Doesn't it mean that the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat? Although one side has more meat and one side has less meat, he may be a... fingernail.
Kong Jie came out of the post office and walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about his mother's various biases, the more he thought about it, the more sad he became.
Liu Xinhua, who hung up the phone, snorted: "The family junkie is in the capital, and he's really sick and still using his mother to spend money?" She rolled her eyes and thought of the most reasonable explanation: "This is leaving me. Now, my ears are softened, and I was tricked by that spoiler to cheat me for money!"
Not to mention, it is close to the truth if you think so.
"Bah! You've lost all conscience! You still want to fight with me!" , Why is it so bitter, I want to be bullied to death by my daughter-in-law~~"
Ye Shu has always believed that family ugliness should not be made public. Because husband and wife are not good neighbors, they are also bullying, so she never tells neighbors or outsiders about her family affairs or her mother-in-law's affairs.
This was discovered by Liu Xinhua, but she was overjoyed. Since then, she can say whatever she wants.
She could sing and act again, and she was even more aggrieved than that little cabbage when she cried. Basically, everyone believed it.
Ye Shu knew what was going on. After she defended several times and was defeated by Liu Xinhua's acting skills, she no longer defended, but it was no good for her neighbors who made irresponsible remarks.
Vicious circle.
This made her living environment particularly depressing, and she no longer had a cheerful smile.
......
But now, Ye Shu and Hua Zhao walked hand in hand in the flower market, smiling like a sunflower.
"I like sunflowers, they look good when they bloom, but they are delicious when they wither!" Ye Shu laughed.
"Then buy a few to plant in my yard and fry melon seeds for you in autumn," Hua Zhao said.
Ye Shu laughed: "How many melon seeds can be produced by planting a few trees, it's not enough for me to eat in a day, look at my melon seeds teeth!" Ye Shu grinned, she has two melon seeds teeth with small sockets in the middle .
"But the ones I planted are definitely delicious, and I promise you will never want to eat them again after eating them," Hua Zhao said.
"Really?" Ye Shu didn't believe it.
She really likes to eat melon seeds. She has no snacks since she was a child. The only common ones are melon seeds and peanuts. Well, melon seeds are all of the same flavor, with only three flavors: raw, cooked, and paste.
"Oh, when I go back to my hometown, I'll send you some by mail. My family's melon seeds are probably about to ripen." Hua Zhao said, she has planted a circle of melon seeds in her yard, such a big yard, can make 2 sacks .
Seeing her swearing, Ye Shu believed it a little bit. Hua Zhao seemed to be a very sincere person, and he really didn't boast much so far.
"Well then, you can mail it to me when the time comes. I want to cook it, but I can't fry it raw. And the pickles you made, also give me a big jar! Brother Shen said, you make it. The pickles are especially delicious!" Ye Shu remembered his brother's description and swallowed.
She called Ye Shen aside a few times to gossip about him and Hua Zhao. The familiar atmosphere between the two was nothing like they just met! That inadvertently revealed tacit understanding is like an old husband and wife.
She was so curious.
As a result, I found out about the correspondence between Ye Shen and Hua Zhao, and about the pickles.
Ye Shu admires Hua Zhao very much. In order to get a man, he is willing to study! It's a good study! She's seen that word, and it's a little worse than her, it's really amazing~
She didn't like to study since she was a child, she liked to sing and dance, so she signed up for the art troupe.
Ye Shu only focused on chatting, but didn't notice that she was pulled into a nursery by Hua Zhao, and she only found out when Hua Zhao greeted people with a smile.
"Master, I'm here again!" Hua Zhao greeted the old man who sold her camellia seeds.
The old man still remembered her, and had been waiting for her tweed... Seeing her coming empty-handed, his face suddenly fell, and he hummed.
Hua Zhao... This old man has a great temper! If this is in the future, he is not a "master" and dare not put on the air.
"Flowers... I forgot to take them today, tomorrow, tomorrow." Hua Zhao said with a dry smile, "I'm here today to buy a few pots of flowers, I'll see for myself, you don't need to greet me."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Ye Shu into the glass greenhouse.
The old man glared at her, but didn't stop her. It looks like a flower, so pretty...
Ye Shu also remembered that all the flowers and plants in the house were sold, and he really had to add some back.
But when she saw these expensive flowers in the glass greenhouse, she wanted to take Hua Zhao out: "Let's look at cacti, potato flowers, etc. It's a pity to buy these back for our mother!"
"Oh..." Hua Zhao walked out slowly, but his eyes were looking for something.
The original place is not... the orchid that He Jianning sent here to see a doctor and was killed by her energy absorption.
At that time, she did not cut off its vitality, leaving only a line.
In the eyes of outsiders, the potted flower is hopeless and dead, but with her around, it can be resurrected.
She was impressed by the fragrance and liked it very much. She wanted to take it back and let it reproduce and mutate.
But there was none in the house, maybe it was thrown away.
Hua Zhao bowed his head in disappointment and came out, and saw a row of dead flowers and plants placed on the wall.
The old man also came over. Not all the flowers in the greenhouse were sold, so he had to introduce them to her.
"Master, these flower pots are good, how did you sell them?" Hua Zhao asked, pointing to the pile of residual flowers.
She was also familiar with these flowers. They were exotic flowers and plants that she had absorbed in He Jianning's house.
Didn't expect it to be here.
