If this love becomes a memory

【18】

Mo Xiaonan took Mo Wei and took the airport bus out. When he got off the bus, he was enveloped in a stuffy heat wave. What the hell, it was already October and it still looked like dog days.She took out her mobile phone and called Cheng Lili, asked for the address, and called a taxi.

Yesterday, when she heard on the phone that the master had suffered a serious car accident, she remembered that a few days ago, the half-immortal that the monkey said saw the master covered in blood, it was as evil as hitting a ghost.Ask again, it is said that the master has lost his memory, why can't she and Simin imagine, lose his memory?Isn't this a common gimmick in movies and TV?She didn't dare to tell Simin about the existence of Cheng Lili, but only said that she had heard the news from her master and fellow workers.

"Then get her back quickly, don't die outside and no one will know." Simin was so anxious that she burst into tears.Mo Xiaonan also couldn't figure out why they came to this small town in the south.

"Sister-in-law, don't be too anxious, I will see your master soon." Mo Wei comforted.Yesterday, from the unguarded conversation between her sister-in-law and Aunt Min, she could already conclude that Xiao Yi was a prostitute and had a story with Aunt Min.

Arrived in a residential area, the outside environment was not bad, found that house, Mo Xiaonan reached out and knocked on the door.Cheng Lili recognized Mo Xiaonan when she opened the door,

"Xiao Nan, come in quickly." She greeted, and then shouted inside, "Yi, look who's here?"

Mo Xiaonan looked for his reputation.There was a person lying on the balcony, wearing a black T-shirt, half pants, and clogs.Judging from the back, it should be the master.She put down her bag and walked over slowly. The master's hair seemed to have been shaved, and some hairs had just grown out. The scar on the head was faintly visible, and there was a frightening scar stretching from the forehead to the cheekbone.Dense red prickly heat all over the neck and face.

"Master." She called softly.

Xiao Yi didn't answer, he was still lying there with an iron nail to pry the soil in the flowerpot, Cheng Lili went up and pulled her face. "Also, see who she is?"

Mo Xiaonan saw the master's face staring blankly at her, and only after a while did his eyes fall on her face. "rabbit."

Cheng Lili cried out happily. "She recognizes you, Xiao Nan, she can recognize people now."

Mo Xiaonan asked puzzledly: "Rabbit? What do you mean?"

"She recognizes you." Cheng Lili held Xiao Yi's face again, pointed to herself and asked, "Yi, who am I?" Xiao Yi shook his head.Cheng Lili pointed to Mo Wei at the side and asked, "What about her?" Still shaking her head, she finally pointed to Mo Xiaonan. "What about her?"

"Rabbit." The word still popped out of Xiao Yi's mouth, and then he buried his head and continued playing with the dirt.

Seeing Cheng Lili's joy, Mo Xiaonan shivered for a while, if the master called her a rabbit or a starling, it was worth being so happy, wouldn't she be stupid?

"Xiao Nan, let's sit in the room, it's rare for her to be quiet." Cheng Lili said.

Entering the living room, it was a two-bedroom house. It was neatly tidied up and looked like home, but it seemed a bit empty, not even a TV.Cheng Lili came out from the room with a small electric fan, "It's hot here, you're not used to it just now." As soon as she turned it on, a gust of hot air rushed in. Thinking of the prickly heat of the master, Mo Xiaonan asked, "Why didn't you install an air conditioner?"

"It's sold." Cheng Lili said, "Xiao Yi had surgery, and I don't have enough money. I sold everything I could sell at home." After that, she was busy making tea, and when she handed it to Mo Wei, she asked, "Who is this?"

"My niece, don't avoid her." Mo Xiaonan said, "Why don't you contact me if you have any difficulties?"

"I don't know how to contact you." Cheng Lili said: "After we came here, in order to save money, the two of us shared a mobile phone, but Xiao Yi never used it at all. He just made public calls outside. After the accident, I also Went through her things and couldn't find a phone number."

"But the master lost contact with us in the second half of 03, but he called home. I have never figured out why."

"That's right. Maybe she doesn't want you to know that she was cheated."

"Cheated? What's going on? By the way, didn't you go to the mountains back then?"

Cheng Lili sighed and spoke slowly

At the beginning, we went to join Jiang Yicheng. Xiao Yi said that he had made a fortune in private mining, and invited her to make a fortune together.At that time, Xiao also had a deposit of 10,000+, plus the tens of thousands of buyouts, he made up 20.I don't agree with taking so much money to invest.But Xiao is also very confident, saying that Jiang Yicheng has been with her for more than ten years, and he is a trustworthy person. She also went to investigate, and the rewards are indeed very high.Xiao Yi and I were together, and she was the one who took care of the big things, plus the money was hers, so it was hard to stop it.

After going to the mountains, Xiao Yi helped Jiang Yicheng manage some affairs in the mine. Life there was very poor and boring, but the two of them were happy to be together.Based on the daily coal output at that time, we can get back the cost by paying dividends at the end of the year.About two months later, one day Jiang Yicheng went out with the car and did not come back. The next day, someone came and told us that Jiang Yicheng took a sum of money from the mine and ran away.After we talked again, we were surprised. It turned out that Jiang Yicheng was just like that person, just in charge of looking after the mine. The real boss of this mine was Jiang Yicheng's cousin.

Xiao Yi and I came out immediately, stayed in a nearby town, and went to meet Jiang Yicheng's cousin, but he refused to meet.Xiao Yi asked me to stay in the hotel, and she went out every day, not knowing what to do.Xiao Nan, you don’t know how I came here that month with trepidation. Those places are very messy. We are foreigners and have lived in factories for half our lives. We have almost no social experience. Don’t be cheated out of money. something.But I didn't dare to ask anything, and I didn't dare to persuade her. She probably wanted to kill someone at that time, her eyes were bloodshot, her gums were all swollen, and her mouth was bubbling.After traveling through several small towns, she took me to a small county town and found Jiang Yicheng's wife.

Jiang Yicheng's wife was very happy to see us, and asked, "Xiao Yi? How did you find this?" From the pleasantries between Xiao Yi and her, it can be seen that they have a good relationship. We will ask about Jiang Yicheng's whereabouts.She said she divorced him for almost a year.

She said: "Jiang Yicheng initially made a lot of money from mining, but within a few days of his good life, he became addicted to gambling. Within a year, he lost his house and car. Creditors came to ask for debts every day, and they moved several times. The second time. Later, he even borrowed money from the water company, but he couldn’t pay, so he had to pay the mine out. I tried everything to persuade him to turn around, but he still couldn’t change it, so I divorced him. , took the child back to his parents. At the beginning of this year, I heard that he went to his cousin and wrote a promise to start a new life, so the cousin took him in and helped him in the mine."

"So he lied to me from the very beginning." Xiao Yi said dejectedly, and told her the story.She called the cousin in front of us, and after asking about the situation, she cursed: "Not only did he steal the cousin's money, but he also cheated the other two who invested like you. , how could he even lie to you!"

Xiao Yi fell ill that day and lay in the hospital for several days, during which Jiang Yicheng's wife came every day, and her son even knelt in front of Xiao Yi's bed and kowtowed on his father's behalf, saying that Xiao Yi had watched him grow up. Now that the father has committed a sin, the son recognizes the debt and will slowly pay it back when he becomes an adult.After being discharged from the hospital, she took Xiao Yi to find that cousin. I don't know what they talked about, but Xiao Yi brought back 1 yuan.In this way, less than four months after we came out, the 20 yuan was almost gone.

When Cheng Lili said this, she picked up the water glass and drank water.Mo Xiaonan said: "Theoretically, the master can be regarded as a shrewd person, no matter how inexperienced in society, it is not possible to invest so much money without knowing the situation."

Cheng Lili said: "I told her about this later, and she herself is also responsible. Although Xiao Yi has never played cards and gambled money, she has a strong gambling instinct in her bones. From the very beginning, she knew that those were black mines. The background is very complicated, and if something happens, it is impossible to follow the normal legal procedures. She is fascinated by the high return, and she trusts Jiang Yicheng too much. For a long time, she couldn't figure it out. How could the big brother who has been calling him for ten years and has always respected him become so inhuman. She didn't contact you, maybe she didn't want to be deceived."

Mo Xiaonan sighed, and turned his eyes to the back of the balcony. I don't know how much this incident has hit the master. It is far more than being cheated of money. Jiang Yicheng was once a role model for the master. "Then how did you get here?" she asked.

Cheng Lili said: "Here is an acquaintance I know named Sister Yi. The couple has their own company. Xiao Yi and I had to find a job as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. It's better to seek refuge with an acquaintance than to go to a place with dark eyes." It’s good to be in a completely unfamiliar place, so I’m here.”

"Sister Yi arranged us in her company, Xiao Yi followed her husband in sales, and I did some housework. Within two months, Xiao Yi quit, saying: 'I get paid by selling my labor. They are equal, so why should he be arrogant.' Sister Yi and his wife both washed their feet and went to the fields a few years ago. I gave up, so I resigned. Fortunately, it was easier to find a job here than ours. Soon I found a job as a cashier. Xiao also had a diploma and was younger than me. The basic salary of the jobs she found was higher than mine. Without a job for a long time, either the money is too low, or the manufacturer cheats the consumer, or makes her lose her dignity, in short, there are so many reasons.”

"After the Spring Festival in 04, we have been out for a year. Seeing that the 1 yuan was spent less and less, she was still so depressed, so I had a long talk with her. I said, Xiao Yi, I know that it was very difficult for you to throw away the [-] yuan. To get a good job, first, you want to live a life that you think is meaningful through hard work. But what kind of life is meaningful? I don’t understand what Maslow you are talking about. All I know is that we have no conditions at present To talk, to think about those spiritual things, you can only live in a flat or even humble way like most ordinary people. The second is that you want to live with me. Now that we are together, you don’t have to hide like you are in your hometown. Zang, I’m worried, but you are so unhappy, what do you make me think? I have no other requirements, I just want to have a home, with someone who knows the cold and the hot by my side, as long as you Xiao Yi can be safe Set your mind to it, even if you spend your whole life eating bran and swallowing vegetables, I will follow you and live a good life."

"Actually, Xiao Yi is a very reasonable person, and it's not that he doesn't know how to compromise. The main reason is that he couldn't make it through at the time. After that conversation, she found a job in a machinery factory and started machine tools."

Mo Xiaonan nodded. "The master started out as a planer, and later learned lathes and fitters."

"The basic salary of that job is low, and the income is almost based on piecework. When she first started driving the bed and the gong cap, she had to do more than ten hours a day."

Mo Xiaonan took a deep breath. She was a mechanic, so she knew the truth of being a tight turner and a slow fitter. If she worked more than ten hours a day, her waist would not be able to straighten up.What's more, making a lot of gong caps is not worth as much as a single axle of a car.She couldn't imagine how the master persisted.

"Xiao Yi said that the technology is a little rusty, so I can only start with simple ones. When I have a feeling, I can process other workpieces, and the income will be higher. In 05, the business of their factory expanded, and the boss also appreciated her. The salary has been increased, and it has stabilized. Our life is getting better and better. I have saved money in the past few years, thinking that after a year or two of hardship, we will open a shop by ourselves, but she had another car accident."

"At the beginning of July, she called home and learned that her mother was seriously ill, so she thought about going back. Before leaving, she worked a few extra shifts. It was past twelve o'clock that night, and she came back on the motorcycle of a worker. On the way, she met a A large truck collided, and the driver who caused the accident fled, and has not been caught so far. She and her co-workers were seriously injured, and she was injured in the head, and lost her memory after the operation."

After hearing this, Mo Xiaonan felt nothing but sighs. Why did they suffer so much? Is it because of their own ill-fated fates, or because of Lala's path?

Xiao Yi finally returned to the house from the balcony, and Cheng Lili said to her, "Hurry up and wash your hands, you need to use hand sanitizer."

Seeing Xiao Yi walk away dragging his wooden clogs, Mo Xiaonan asked in a low voice, "What's the situation, master now? How can I see that she's a little stupid?"

"Where is the dementia?" Cheng Lili said with some displeasure: "She just can't remember the people and things in the past, and she can take care of herself, and she will be able to do things she doesn't know how to do a few more times. The doctor said that it will take time for her to recover. Be patient."

"Then can she understand our conversation?"

"I should be able to understand a little bit."

"I'm hungry." Xiao Yi walked up to him and said.

Cheng Lili got up quickly. "Just talking and forgetting the time, Xiao Nan, sit down and I'll cook."

Mo Xiaonan looked at Xiao Yi again, but still felt that her expression was dull. "Master, don't you recognize me?"

"rabbit."

"What do you mean by calling me a rabbit?" Mo Xiaonan faced Xiao Yi unwillingly. "I'm Mo Xiaonan, I really don't remember?"

"rabbit."

"Okay, rabbit, rabbit." Mo Xiaonan sat down helplessly, and a rabbit is a rabbit.It's better than nothing.
