"Mom, I want to talk to you." Zhang Yang stood at the door of the kitchen.

Looking at my mother who had been busy in the kitchen all day, I finally mustered up the courage to say this to my mother.

"What are you talking about?" Zhang's mother answered casually, meaning, if you have anything to say, just say it. I was busy cooking, but I didn't hear Zhang Yang's answer for a long time, and looked up at Zhang Yang in surprise.

Afterwards, Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment as if she had realized it, and joy flooded her cheeks uncontrollably.

Zhang's mother was full of joy and thought that Zhang Yang had found a girlfriend and was going to take it home, so she wanted to talk to herself about the girlfriend.

"Okay, okay" Zhang's mother agreed, and put down the dumpling stuffing she was stirring in her hand, although if the stuffing is not processed as soon as possible, it will easily become unpalatable due to the loss of moisture.

"What do you want to tell mom?" Zhang's mother's joy was conveyed from Gao Yang's ending sound to Zhang Yang's heart, and while talking, Zhang's mother followed Zhang Yang out of the kitchen while unfastening her apron.

Zhang Yang walked in front, listening to Mama Zhang's joyful footsteps, suddenly, he became a little timid again, and the courage he had gathered for a long time was shattered by Mama Zhang's joyful expression.

Zhang Yang and Zhang's mother's surname.

Since the age of 2 and a half, Zhang Yang lived with his mother and never saw his father again.

Zhang's mother and Zhang Yang's father divorced very early.

Zhang Yang’s impression of his father is nothing but the name written on the divorce certificate he found when he was naughty and rummaged at home when he was a child. There was not even a photo on the divorce certificate at that time. Beyond this vague name, there is nothing else.

In recent years, when I accompanied Zhang's mother to visit relatives, I only occasionally heard about him from relatives.

It is said that he went to the south to do business, and it seems that he is doing well now, his wife and children are safe, and his life is rich.

Zhang Yang never took the initiative to inquire about them, and Zhang's mother never took the initiative to tell him about that person.

But at this moment, Zhang Yang suddenly hoped that that person was by his mother's side, or it didn't matter if it wasn't that person, as long as someone was by his mother's side.

In this way, at least, when I make my mother sad and disappointed, there will be someone beside her to comfort her.

The distance from the kitchen to the living room is very short, and two people can walk to the living room in a few steps.

Ms. Zhang sat down on the sofa first, picked up an orange, and quickly picked it up with her hands, while happily asking Zhang Yang, "What do you want to say to Mom?" The expression and tone were like a kindergarten teacher coaxing Like an obedient child.

Zhang Yang didn't dare to look directly at Mama Zhang, so he had to look away. Before he could open his mouth, Mama Zhang stuffed something in his hand.

"Speak slowly, eat an orange first." Before Zhang Yang turned his head to see what it was, Zhang's mother had already spoken.

Zhang Yang squeezed the orange in his hand, feeling more and more that he couldn't open his mouth at all.

"Mom," Zhang Yang was silent for a while, but finally he didn't say anything. "Mom, you haven't had any problems at work recently, have you?"

Mama Zhang works in a public university. Mama Zhang used to teach English in the university. In fact, Mama Zhang did not have a teacher certificate. What too many qualifications are required, after all, the average student only needs to pass CET-[-] or CET-[-].

When I was young, Mama Zhang’s position was better. She was speaking a foreign language, and the students wanted to speak Niaoyu to pretend. Now, most of the students’ knowledge in high school can pass the fourth level. After the exam, those who skipped classes, those who fell asleep, those who fell in love, naturally there were no people in Mama Zhang's class.

What's more, now, all lecturers are required to have a graduate degree or above. When Zhang's mother is about to retire, the requirements are stricter. Nowadays, there are popular foreign teachers. The school hired a handsome foreign guy with three-dimensional features. Such a person is enough , Zhang's mother went to work in the logistics department, but when Zhang's mother retired, she was still treated as a teacher.

Zhang's mother had retired two years ago, rested at home for more than a year, but suddenly received a letter of employment from the school.

Ms. Zhang was quite surprised when she received the news. After all, there was no news at all before, but at that time, Ms. Zhang had just retired and was idle at home, so she went back to school.

After I went back, I found out that it was because of the political change in the school that Zhang's mother was attending a Gregorian calendar school.Ordinary people like the headmaster don't dare to expect extravagantly, but the school has recently changed the heads and deputy directors of each department. One is because some people are old and are approaching the age of retirement.The second is because it is different now, and young people can indeed better promote development.

But the leaders who were originally in the right position naturally didn't think so. Some people spent a lot of effort to stay in their positions. At the same time, they began to form cliques. The position is vacant, so I want to find my former colleagues to come back to work

However, people in a slightly older grade have probably learned to enjoy this idea, either to help take care of the children, or to travel around. A lonely person like Zhang's mother naturally received their attention.

So he found Zhang's mother.

When Zhang's mother was in school, she was quite a quiet teacher. She had a good relationship with her colleagues, but basically she didn't have any disputes.

Such a person is naturally what he needs.

So it hit it off.

However, the reason for Zhang's mother's return was a bit embarrassing. In this case, the greasy work would naturally not fall on Zhang's mother.

The items that Zhang’s mother needs to distribute and recycle are basically clothes and other things that are fixed every year. Of course, students will do the handling. Most of the teachers in charge only need to record the numbers or check the numbers.So the work can be said to be very easy.

"Ah? It's good," Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized that Zhang Yang was shy and embarrassed, so he took the initiative and sat next to Zhang Yang, full of confidence and joy. Say "Are you in a relationship?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but have a sore nose, turned his head away, tried not to let himself look into his mother's eyes, and responded casually.

When Mama Zhang heard Zhang Yang's agreement, she clarified her thoughts more precisely, so the rest of the questions popped out of Mama Zhang's mind one by one, and were released directly from her mouth.

"how old is she?"

"Where are you from?"

"local?"

"Is it your colleague?"

"Have you met her parents?"

"When will you bring her home for Mom to see?"

……

Questions came one after another, without even giving Zhang Yang time to answer.

Mother Zhang asked many questions in one breath before realizing that something was wrong with her son.

It was so wrong that Zhang’s mother began to panic. It was the kind of unreasonable panic. After thinking for a while, Zhang’s mother thought that it might be because her son was afraid that the girl he liked would not be compatible with her, so Zhang’s mother began to comfort herself and at the same time publicity.

"what happened?"

"Does she not want to come to our house?"

"Did you two quarrel?"

"She thinks you are a single parent, so she disagrees?"

"Their family thinks our family is not well-off?"

"still……"

"Or is the girl you like already married?"

Hearing what his mother said became more and more outrageous, Zhang Yang couldn't help himself.

"No, I don't have a girlfriend." Zhang Yang's voice was much louder than usual.

The sudden voice interrupted Zhang's mother's words and her thoughts.Zhang's mother half opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

Zhang's mother sat on the sofa a little disappointed, and didn't speak for a long time.

Such silence made Zhang Yang feel even more uncomfortable.

"Ha, it's okay, then look for it slowly, Mom is not in a hurry." Zhang's mother said dryly, and also realized that the room was too awkward, so she grabbed a few peanuts and crunched them in her hands. Crushed it, pulled it out but didn't put it in my mouth, just put it in my hand and continued to rub it.The two were at a stalemate with each other.

"Mom." Zhang Yang opened his mouth and made a sound, but the voice was so hoarse that Zhang Yang himself was not even sure.

But this voice broke Mama Zhang's silence.

"What?" Zhang's mother looked at her son's side face, and felt a lot of sadness just from that simple sound.

"Mom, I like men." Zhang Yang tried his best not to let the tears pool in his eyes, and took a few deep breaths.Finally said this sentence.

"If you like it, you like it. If you like it, go after it." Zhang's mother didn't realize what Zhang Yang said at all. Zhang's mother's thoughts stayed on what Zhang Yang said before, about not having a girlfriend, so she subconsciously gave feedback to Zhang Yang language of comfort.

But Mama Zhang's words of comfort did not give Zhang Yang any positive encouragement, but instead caused Zhang Yang's tears to roll down directly. Zhang Yang wiped his face with his hands indiscriminately, and sniffed his nose. As if he couldn't stop, as Zhang Yang stood up, he blurted out "Mom, can you listen to me."

However, Zhang's mother did not answer.Zhang's mother's thoughts had already drifted away, and Zhang's mother even started thinking about who's house to go to during the Chinese New Year, and it would be better if someone could help introduce someone.

But Zhang's mother's thoughts were finally interrupted by a loud noise.

Because when Zhang Yang stood up, his uncontrollable hands and feet hit the coffee table in front of him directly. The old-fashioned coffee table was originally assembled from brackets and glass plates. The huge external force knocked the glass top of the coffee table. The objects were knocked out of place, the friction between the glass and the tiles made a harsh sound, the things on the coffee table were scattered everywhere due to inertia, and even a few round oranges ran to the kitchen and left, and they hit something and made a "boom" sound .Looking at the messy coffee table, Zhang Yang's nameless anger ignited again, he raised his foot unconsciously, and kicked out the glass that was already crooked on the ground.The crisp sound of glass breaking finally calmed the two of them down.

Zhang's mother was shocked by the scene in front of her. She raised her head and looked at her child in surprise. She didn't understand what happened to her child today.

However, Zhang Yang's tears were not frightened back by the mess he had caused, but flowed out even more violently.

"Mom," Zhang Yang choked up and said, "Mom, I like men, just like me, men."

Just this one sentence seemed to have exhausted all Zhang Yang's strength. As soon as the words came out, Zhang Yang slowly softened his body, and finally sat on the ground leaning on the sofa, covering his forehead, letting tears flow down.

"You, what did you say?" Mother Zhang didn't seem to hear clearly.

"Mom, I'm gay, gay, your son is gay" Zhang Yang shouted loudly.But there was even an unconscious tremor in that voice.

Zhang Yang believed that his mother heard what he said, but he couldn't believe it.It seemed that because the words had already been spoken and there was no turning back, Zhang Yang actually just sat on the ground and spoke.

Of course, Mama Zhang did hear this sentence clearly, but Mama Zhang's brain still didn't react when she heard it.

Because this incident directly overturned Zhang's mother's cognition.

What is liking a man?What else is homosexuality?

what does that mean.

Due to her long-term conservative thinking and comfortable life, Zhang's mother has never been exposed to this news.

What Zhang Yang said was impossible for Zhang's mother.How could it be possible for a man to like a man?

No, it's not impossible.Zhang's mother suddenly denied this idea.

Mother Zhang suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago.Zhang's mother who has been there for a long time can't remember what year it was.

It seems to be when Zhang’s mother was very young. At that time, Zhang’s mother seemed to be still in elementary school. For some time, for some reason, even people who were working would send their children to school in person, but it lasted for a while .

Later, Mama Zhang heard that it seemed that two little boys had been killed, so she was worried. Of course, when the news came out, the murderer had already been caught. Outrageous things.Although Mama Zhang couldn't understand what the adults were saying, Mama Zhang always remembered the strange look in their eyes when they talked about the cause of the child's death.

It was a contemptuous, contemptuous look.

This kind of terrible memory that made Zhang's mother a little afraid suddenly flooded into Zhang's mind, and the huge impact made Zhang's mother fall towards the backrest somewhat unbearably even sitting on the sofa.

Of course, Zhang Yang would not think that Zhang's mother's gesture was because she was relieved to accept what she said. At this moment, Zhang Yang also knew that he had no way out.

"Mom, I'm telling the truth." As soon as the words came out, Zhang Yang calmed down a little.Although the tears still slowly remained, Zhang Yang's voice became more determined.

"How is it possible, you just don't want to get married, and you can't lie to mom like this." Zhang's mother didn't want to continue talking with Zhang Yang at all, so she directly interrupted Zhang Yang's words.

"I haven't finished the meal yet, I'll continue cooking," said Zhang's mother, walking around the messy floor, as if fleeing towards the kitchen, but from Zhang's trembling legs, it was easy to see Mother Zhang was shocked.

Zhang's mother couldn't believe that her child had such a small chance of becoming a perverted murderer.Mother Zhang subconsciously wanted to escape.

Seeing Zhang's mother was about to enter the kitchen, Zhang Yang's tears flowed down again, he stood up and shouted "Mom."

However, the sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted Zhang Yang's next words, and interrupted Zhang's mother's support.Zhang's mother fell down at the kitchen door.

Seeing Mama Zhang fall down, Zhang Yang's expression changed, and he rushed over to hug Mama Zhang.Looking at Zhang's mother lying in his arms with her eyes tightly closed, Zhang Yang suddenly felt that he had done something wrong.

Maybe he shouldn't have said these things at all. His own mistakes should not be made by his mother.

The continuous sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside the window and the constant ringing of the doorbell made people dizzy. Zhang Yang finally regained his senses. He helped his mother and walked towards the door. When he opened the door, he saw the house My downstairs neighbor.

Fortunately, these people didn't ask any questions when they saw Zhang's mother who had fainted and the tearful Zhang Yang, but rushed to send Zhang's mother to the hospital.

It was originally a night of reunion on the New Year's Eve, but because of publicity, several families were unable to reunite.
