(5), pimple soup

During the winter vacation of Wan Shun'er's first year of high school, Wan's mother came to visit suddenly. She flipped through a few books about homosexuality in her son's bookshelf, tore them up in a rage, sat on the only dilapidated sofa at home, and waited. When my son came home, he questioned him carefully.

"what is this?"

Wan Shun'er, who just stepped into the door, was caught off guard by Wan's mother who threw a torn book across her face.

"Mom, when did you come back?" Wan Shun'er was a little startled by her mother's visit.

"I ask you what is this?" Wan Ma's voice raised an octave.

"This is..." Wan Shun'er lowered her head and recognized that the book Wan Ma had torn up was about homosexuality, and she panicked.

"Why do you collect this kind of book? Are you gay?" Wan's mother stepped forward and twisted her son's ear and twirled it around, feeling more excited than before: "I ask you, are you gay?"

"I...I..." Wan Shun'er couldn't find any excuses, anyway, sooner or later she would know what she was going to say, and as soon as her brain became hot, why not admit it now: "I am."

"I can bear you, don't you know that my mother is divorced and feel bored? I don't know that your father married that vixen and gave birth to a white and fat son? He doesn't bother to look at you now, why don't you argue with me? Angry?" Wan Ma turned around and picked up the teacup on the table behind her and threw it at Wan Shun'er's feet: "Do you want face? Don't you want face? Why is my mother so miserable? I met a scumbag husband and gave birth to you like this!" A bitch? Well, yes, you are his son."

Wan Shun'er lowered his head and kept silent, letting his mother scold her.

"Where's your grandma? Mom! Mom!" Mama Wan yelled around the house, just as grandma came back with a basket of vegetables from the field.

Grandma was very happy to see her daughter come back. This unconscionable daughter finally knew that she was coming back to celebrate Shun'er's birthday.Just as she was happily wanting to call out, she found that Shun'er was standing there motionless as if she had done something wrong. Before she could speak, she heard her daughter scolding her head and face.

"How do you take care of your grandson? Do you know he's gay? If the whole village finds out, where will I put my face?" Mama Wan cursed, pointing at her mother's nose.

"What are you yelling, you know what you don't want to know." Grandma was so angry that she put down her basket and cursed back, and stood in front of Shun'er.

"Shun'er, kneel down." Wan's mother pushed her mother away, and stretched out her index finger to instruct him to kneel down.

"Don't kneel, why do you kneel, what did Shun'er do wrong?" Grandma grabbed Wan Shun'er who was about to kneel down.

"Don't stop him." Wan's mother was so angry that she put her hands on her waist: "He is my son, and I haven't blamed you for raising my son to such a virtue."

Wan's mother's words angered the grandmother who had worked so hard to bring up Wan Shun'er. Apart from arguing, the two began to push and shove. Shun'er was afraid that her grandmother would be pushed down and hurt, so she cried and tried to persuade her: "Mom, grandma, Stop arguing. I'm on my knees, Mom, I'm already on my knees."

Wan Ma finally pushed and teased grandma again, and then she gave up.

"I thought you forgot that you have a son, Shun'er is so old, how many times have you seen him?"

"I was wronged outside, and when I came back, you actually made things difficult for me..." Mama Wan fell on the old sofa and wiped the painful tears on her face.

Shun'er and grandma can also guess that every time Mama Wan comes back 10 times out of 10, it's because she got angry outside.

Grandma is also distressed, she is only such a daughter, and she will still be sad when she sees her crying: "What happened to you this time?"

"Their family dislikes me as a divorced man with such a big son." Wan's mother stretched her neck in disbelief and shouted: "Then doesn't he also have a daughter? Why can't I have a son. His mother doesn't even care about her son being an old man in his fifties, and he's not particularly rich, so what are the conditions to find a young and beautiful one, it's really funny."

"You came back after having a fight with his mother, then don't marry, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good, and you will have to be wronged in the future."

"But, I'm not young anymore, and I don't have the capital to pick and choose. Besides, his mother is not good, but Lao Lin treats me well, and his daughter can make a living. His mother asked him to go to the The blind date didn't work out, so I guess I gave up in the end, so I have no objection to being with Lao Lin."

"Then why are you crying?"

"Isn't it because I'm so angry with this bastard, if I don't learn well, how come nothing goes well for me?"

Wan Shun'er knelt down and did not dare to get up, bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Mom."

"However, his mother said it's okay to come in, but I have to promise her one thing, that is, I can't take Shun'er with me, and Shun'er will have to follow you in the future."

"What do you mean by that?" Grandma didn't sound right.

"Mom, don't worry, Lao Lin said he will pay the child support." Wan's mother followed her grandmother's example and comforted her when she saw that she was angry: "Mom, my daughter knows this is wrong, but she is working hard outside alone." It's really hard, I want to find a man to rely on. Besides, Shun'er has been with you for more than ten years, and I have only met me a dozen times. I haven't kissed you before, so you can help me take care of the expenses. Don't worry, I will send money home regularly."

"Get lost." The grandmother became more and more angry when she heard that, she pushed her daughter's hand away, and threw all her salutes out of the door.

"Mom!" Wan Ma hurriedly ran out to pick it up and salute: "There are valuables in it, don't break the jade bracelet that Lao Lin bought for you."

"You can keep it for yourself. Shun'er is such a good child, he was cast in the wrong birth. How could he become your son?" Grandma Shun'er took advantage of the situation and slammed the door shut.

"Mom, Mom, open the door, as long as you help me take Shun'er well, I don't blame Shun'er for that..."

"What's wrong with him liking men? On the contrary, I don't understand what kind of humble love between men and women you're talking about. If you talk about him again because of this, just pretend that I never gave birth to your daughter."

"Mother."

"You mother forgot when your son was born?" Speaking of this, Grandma Shun'er couldn't help sobbing.

Wan's mother was silent for a while after hearing this: "Yes, today is my son's birthday, how old is my son this year?"

Wan's mother knew that she was not qualified to be a mother, so she was embarrassed to call the door, and walked away disheartened with salutes. Fortunately, she finally entrusted her son to her.

After closing the door, grandma looked back at Shun'er: "Shun'er, get up, you have done nothing wrong, you don't need to kneel down as punishment."

Grandma hugged Shun'er who stood up and couldn't help crying bitterly.

"Grandma." Wan Shun'er called grandma softly. He was not so sad about his mother's "abandonment again". It was the same once and a hundred times.

"The happiest thing in your mother's life is that she gave birth to you. It's a pity that she doesn't cherish it."

"Hehe, um." Wan Shun'er forced a smile in order not to worry her grandma.

The next day, Wan Shun'er was eating as usual, but was startled by Yi Jingping who suddenly broke into the scene, and almost choked: "What are you doing?"

"Your mother is here. I heard that your house was quite noisy last night. Is she still there?" Yi Jingping asked in a low voice.

"gone."

"Gone? Why?"

"She came to hope that grandma could continue to take care of me, because the person she married didn't want me to enter their family."

Yi Jingping stared at Wan Shun'er for a while, seeing that he continued to eat in a calm manner, so he stepped forward and put his arm around Wan Shun'er's shoulder: "I will lend you my shoulder for free."

"Humph? Humph, hum." Wan Shun'er thought he had gotten used to it long ago. When Yi Jingping said this, his sad balloon was punctured, and he couldn't hold back his moaning and crying anymore. come out.

"She just didn't realize that you are her greatest wealth. Don't worry, you still have brother Jingping." Wan Shun'er, the host of Yi Jingping, comforted him, keeping this posture and making him cry happily for a while.

After a while, Wan Shun'er controlled her emotions, put away her tears, and leaned on Yi Jingping's firm arm,

He just slowly fell under Yi Jing's unintentional and sincere words on weekdays, but the hateful thing is that he doesn't have to be responsible for it.

"Do you want to eat pimple soup? Let me serve you a bowl?"

"Eat, Grandma Shun'er's cooking is invincible and delicious."

Wan Shun'er and Yi Jingping smiled at each other.

Wan Shun'er thought that she was very satisfied with his life now.No matter ten years later, 20 years later, or forever, I hope he can still sit with Yi Jingping and drink a bowl of hot pimple soup.
