like the wrong way

"Mom." Ji Lingyang leaned against the door frame, rubbing his toes on the floor tiles.

Ji's mother was busy washing vegetables, so she agreed casually: "Well, what's the matter?"

Ji Lingyang originally planned to bring up the topic of divorce again, but he thought about it all afternoon according to what Fang Xi said, and found that there were few things he could solve by himself.It was almost the end of the meal, and he wanted to have a little talk with his mother before Father Ji came back.But seeing the washed hot pot dishes in the basket, he hesitated again.

The family seldom cooks hot pot, because Father Ji is always away from home, no matter how big his appetite is, only two people can't eat much.Today is New Year's Day. Father Ji said that he would come back for dinner. Seeing his mother washing the vegetables and humming a song, she seemed to be looking forward to it. Is it really okay to mention those things now?

Ji Lingyang hesitated.

Mother Ji waited for a long time for the answer, and when she looked back, her son was in a daze.She raised her hand and waved it in front of Ji Lingyang: "Xiao Yang, what are you thinking about?"

"No, I didn't think about anything." Ji Lingyang scratched his head, took the initiative to take the vegetable basket from Mother Ji's hand, "Mom, I'll wash it for you."

Mother Ji did not refuse this time, she instructed Ji Lingyang to pour the enoki mushrooms into the basin and rinse them with water.

Lifting his hand, the water splashed down, Ji Lingyang almost jumped up from the cold as soon as his hand touched it.

Mother Ji laughed and turned her hand to the other side: "The left side is cold water, the right side is hot water, you always get it wrong."

The warm water poured on his hands, immediately softening his almost frozen fingers.Ji Lingyang washed Flammulina velutipes like he was rubbing a towel, and said carefully, "Fang Xi said that I can get 110 points in this morning's paper. If I keep at it, I will definitely be in the top [-] in the final exam."

There are a total of 51 people in the class, and they are out of the last [-]. Basically, they can pass the college entrance examination in other places with a little effort.

Mother Ji immediately praised her son: "My son is smart, and he can get good grades in the exam if he works a little harder."

Ji Lingyang wrinkled his nose a little bit shyly, and finally he didn't forget the other half of the owner of the "Military Merit Medal": "It's mainly because of Fang Xi, he has been helping me with the papers recently and summed up the wrong questions. He is really good. He has good grades and looks good." It’s also good-looking. I bullied him before, but he didn’t bear any grudges. Before the old class in the English test suspected that I was cheating, he even spoke for me. He invited me to dinner on his birthday, but I didn’t go. Accompany me to the video game city for a day. He is really a good student. He can’t play at all, and he can’t even shoot. I still bit my nails when I was doing my homework, I almost bit the flesh, and..."

Ji's mother heard it funny and helpless, if she didn't know that Fang Xi was a boy, she would have thought that her son fell in love early.

Ji Lingyang babbled for a long time, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he gradually fell silent.He looked at the Flammulina velutipes in the pot, which were basically shortened into two sections, and asked tentatively, "Mom, I want to go to a university in another city, okay?"

Mother Ji replied with a smile: "It's fine if you're happy, whether it's local or out of town, as long as you have enough grades, I will support you wherever you want to go."

"Then, can you come with me?"

Mother Ji paused for a moment, but didn't answer, she turned and opened the cabinet: "By the way, the hot pot seasoning has just run out, I'll go buy some."

"mom……"

"Help me watch the fire, I'll be back soon." Mother Ji interrupted him, took off the apron and put it on Ji Lingyang directly.She put on a thick coat casually, and before closing the door, she specially warned: "Don't steal it, I haven't put salt yet."

"I won't!"

There is one less person in the family, and it immediately feels a lot deserted.

The pork rib soup in the pot was bubbling and bubbling, Ji Lingyang shook the handle of the pot, and the water droplets that were adhering to the glass pot lid immediately joined together and slid into the pot one after another.He glanced in through the glass, and the large ribs floated up and down in the soup, which made him swallow his saliva.Just as he was about to get the spoon, he remembered Ji's mother's advice, curled his lips, turned and walked away.

I washed all the enoki mushrooms just now, and Ji Lingyang didn't dare to touch other dishes. He went back to the room and took out the game console, sat on the small bench at the door of the kitchen, and started playing Tetris "di di di di di di di di di di di di di di dii".

As a result, Ji's mother didn't come back even after five innings, but Ji's father, who left work early, waited.

When Ji Lingyang heard the knock on the door, he was still wondering, didn't Ji's mother bring the key?As a result, when he opened the door, he saw Father Ji, You Qi's face was flushed, and when he saw that he looked like he had drunk too much, Ji Lingyang almost threw the door directly in his face.He didn't even bother to say hello, so he sat back and continued playing games.

"Stinky boy! Don't you know how to get the slippers when I'm back?" Father Ji was obviously in a bad mood.In fact, he has been in a bad mood recently, and it happens from time to time that he comes home drunk.He took off his leather shoes with great difficulty, stumbled into the living room with his slippers on, and sat down on a chair.

"Hey, where's your mother?" Ji's father searched around with drunken eyes, but he didn't see his wife, so he immediately asked Ji Lingyang in a vicious voice.

Ji Lingyang glanced at him: "Go shopping."

Father Ji was obviously not satisfied with the answer. He kicked the table: "Still buying things? I didn't take any money from home, so I knew it was my money. The money I earned was wasted for her!" After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath, lit a cigarette, and cursed while smoking, "That idiot, Mr. Chen, actually only paid me [-] yuan for the festival, just to send the beggar! I followed Mr. Zhou to do it." After more than ten years of sales, the money earned by the company is no more than what he has earned for decades. If you dare to deduct my money, why don’t you fucking die? Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, isn’t it because I was temporarily transferred In the past, a mangy dog ​​would dare to cause trouble, wait for me to sign a big deal, and exchange all the money for a steel hammer to kill you bitch!"

After scolding for several minutes, Ji's father scolded dryly. Seeing Ji Lingyang playing games like a normal person, his anger immediately shifted to him, picked up the cigarette case and threw it at him: "Little brat, your father is thirsty, go pour a glass Water come here!"

Ji Lingyang quickly flashed the cigarette case, and looked at his father with a little disgust.But thinking that today is New Year's Day and there is still pork rib soup stewed in the pot, he suppressed his disgust, poured a cup of hot water and handed it over.

Father Ji picked up the glass and took a sip without even looking at it. As soon as the water entered his mouth, he spouted it with a "poof", and when he raised his hand, he splashed the whole glass of water on Ji Lingyang.

"You fucking want to burn me to death?"

The water was not hot at all, it was only a little warm when splashed on Ji Lingyang's face.If he still can't detect that Ji's father is deliberately finding fault, Ji Lingyang feels that he is a fool.He wiped his face vigorously, and choked directly: "If you want to lose your nerve, go outside!"

Father Ji stood up with a slap in the face: "Why the hell are you talking to me?"

Ji Lingyang did not show any weakness, grabbed Father Ji's wrist, and pushed him back to the seat: "Just talk to you like this!"

"I'm your dad! Is that how you talk to your dad?"

"Are you ashamed to say that you are my father? Except when you give money, when are you like a father? You are not a qualified father at all!"

"You eat and drink Lao Tzu and still say I'm unqualified? Why am I unqualified! Didn't I pay for you to eat, dress and play like you grew up? Did your mother give you a penny? Even her Food and clothing are also paid by Lao Tzu!" Father Ji stood up holding the table, waving his hands with a grim face, "I have worked hard for more than ten years, and I am ordered around like a dog by nodding and bowing, and when I go home, I will be punished." You call it unqualified? Do you still have a little conscience?"

"My mother took me to the hospital when I was sick! My mother comforted me when I was bullied by my classmates! My mother stayed up all night because I couldn't finish my homework! My mother stayed with me every birthday Yes! You talk about money, can money make a father who grows up with me?!" Ji Lingyang uttered the words that he had held back for more than ten years, staring at this with red eyes without a trace of regret The man said, "Wait! When I am admitted to university, I will definitely take my mother out of the city and go to a place where you can't find me! Don't even think about hurting her again until you die!"

"No wonder you took the money behind my back, so you wanted to dump me and run away! You and your mother are white-eyed wolves. I've provided you with food and drink for nearly 20 years. I don't want to be grateful and want to run away!" Father Ji growled angrily, "Go! Go if you have the ability, the farther you go, the better! Don't come back after you go! I won't give you a penny."

"I won't ask for your money! My mother and I have hands and feet and won't starve to death!"

"But forget it, your mother has been squatting at home and eating idle food since she married me! I was working hard to make money to support her, but she taught my son like this! Tell me, did she tell you to talk back to me! She made you hate me! That bitch..."

"You are not allowed to say that about my mother!" Ji Lingyang roared angrily and rushed forward.

The father and son immediately scuffled together.After all, Father Ji was in his prime, even if he was drunk, he could even fight Ji Lingyang to a tie. The two of them came and went, knocking the tables and chairs in the living room upside down.The game console in Ji Lingyang's hand fell to the ground at some point, and was stepped on by two people.After a few crisp cracking sounds, the casing of the game console was broken into several pieces, and the screen was completely darkened.

Father Ji seized a gap and pushed Ji Lingyang away. Just as he was about to rush to chase after him, he suddenly stepped on the broken game console.

Father Ji raised his foot in pain, and when he was unable to stand still, the other foot stepped into the water that had just been splashed on the ground, and instantly slipped and lost his balance, like a stone statue that has been pushed down, and the whole body fell backwards , The back of the head hit the edge of the wooden chair directly.

The sound of the body hitting the ground was accompanied by a short cry of pain. Father Ji fell on his back to the ground. After a few twitches, he was completely silent.

Ji Lingyang watched him fall, without even having time to react.When he regained his composure and wanted to go over to have a look, a crimson liquid slowly flowed out from the back of Ji Fu's head, crawling on the brown wood-grained floor.

Ji Lingyang only felt a "buzz" in his head, and he fell to his knees as if exhausted.

what do I do?He stared blankly at the motionless Father Ji, not even daring to check whether he was still alive.

"You can come to me if you have anything, and I will definitely help you." Fang Xi's words flashed through his mind like lightning.

In an instant, Ji Lingyang seemed to have found a straw to save his life. He stood up scrambling, opened the door of the house, and rushed out like a madman, without even taking the key.

The heavy anti-theft door hit the wall, bounced back heavily, and snapped together with the door frame with a "click".

……

Mother Ji slowly walked up the stairs with a bag of seasonings.Just now I ran into my former neighbor in the supermarket and chatted for a while, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for half an hour, and I don't know if Xiao Yang ate the ribs secretly.

Standing in front of the house and about to take out the keys, suddenly the phone rang.Mother Ji changed the bag to another hand, took out her mobile phone and picked it up.

"Hello, Liyan?"

"..."

"What's the matter, tell me."

"..."

"You, you mean, I won't get a penny of my money?"

"..."

"Wait, how long is it?"

"..."

"I see." Mother Ji seemed to have lost her mind, completely ignoring the shouts from the microphone, and hung up the phone.She raised her hand, covered her eyes lightly with the back of her hand, and muttered to herself, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a year late, so I can get it back."

After some weak self-comfort, Ji's mother put down her hands, took a deep breath, and pulled the corners of her mouth vigorously, making herself look as calm as when she went out.She inserted the key into the lock, turned it gently, and slowly opened the door with a "click".

"Xiao Yang, I'm back." Mother Ji took off her padded shoes and greeted her son with a smile, "Did you steal..."

"Boom" the bag fell to the floor.

Seeing her unconscious husband, Ji's mother hurried over: "Ji Gang, what's wrong with you?" Before she could squat down, she saw a small pool of red liquid on the ground.She took a deep breath and immediately searched the house, but when she searched around, there was no one in the house except her and the man on the ground.

Looking around, there are crumbling tables and chairs, messy wet footprints, and colorful plastic pieces that are broken all over the place.With just one glance, Mother Ji recognized that this is Ji Lingyang's most precious game console.

That extremely terrifying thought seemed to be confirmed, Mother Ji tremblingly covered her mouth, tears instantly filled her eyes, and then burst out of the embankment and wet her entire cheek.

After an unknown amount of time, Mother Ji staggered to her feet, leaned on the wall and walked into the kitchen. She glanced blankly around, and finally landed on the knife holder.She went to it and took out a narrow fish knife from it.Because it had just been sharpened a few days ago, the blade looked extremely cold.

Ji's mother knelt beside her husband with a knife, gently stroking his face, which was slightly dull due to blood loss.She has seen this face for nearly 20 years, with frowning brows, deeper nasolabial folds, from the thin and serious at first sight to the fat and slack now, every change is deeply imprinted in her mind.

"Why..." She seemed to be asking herself and her husband, "Why did it change?"

Tears dripped down on the man's face, and slid into the hair along the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Those closed eyes seemed to feel the moisture of the water droplets, and the eyelids moved slightly.

However, Mother Ji didn't see that she was holding the handle of the knife with both hands, facing her husband's heart.

"Ji Gang, you hurt me in this life, I admit it. But, you can't hurt our son, there is still a great future waiting for him in the future. So, let him go, I will accompany you."

Mother Ji closed her eyes, raised her hands high, and swung them down vigorously!

Just when the tip of the knife was about to touch the clothes, a voice shouted hoarsely: "Mom!"
