happy life?strange

It wasn't long before Aunt Thompson's brother arrived.Tall and thin, with red cheeks, cornflower blue eyes like Aunt Thompson's, wearing a cowboy hat, faded jeans, a simple vest, typical Australian dress, and serious The British style is out of place.The siblings first looked at each other, trying to find the familiar young lines on each other's old face, and then... embraced and cried, thinking that they would never see each other again.In their old age, the news of the existence of their loved ones came from afar, which made them extremely excited and happy. They always thanked God for his grace and mercy.

Seeing Aunt Thompson's excited look, Severus, who was sitting on the side as a good boy, whispered to Viddy, "Viddy, tell me, if there comes a day, you thought I was gone. When you meet again When it comes to me, who will you thank?"

The consequence of this sentence was Viddy's pale face and his follow behind him all day. Of course, Severus also regretted that he would say such brainless words purely for the purpose of scaring people. Come.When he was sleeping at night, Viddy hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to embed him in his body with great strength. In order to comfort the child whose soul he had accidentally hurt, Severus could only give him a lot of good night kiss, from forehead to cheek, and under the pressure of Viddy's staring eyes, vowed never to leave him.

Every oath is easy to say. Many people think they will really do it when they say the oath, but the god of fate sitting in the clouds always looks at people and thinks they are sincere. The oath was laughing mockingly.

Another half month later, Aunt Thompson went to Australia with her younger brother.Before leaving, Aunt Thompson gave all the furniture and home appliances to Severus.The originally empty house in Spider's End Lane finally gained some popularity. Although the electricity bill has not been paid for a long time due to poverty, many electrical appliances cannot be used. A little brighter.

On the evening when they were about to leave England by boat, Aunt Thompson and her brother took Severus and Viddy to a nearby restaurant for a good meal.Fragrant corn soup, roasted crunchy yellow garlic bread, tender steak, fresh salad, what should have been a happy scene was veiled with sadness because of parting.Viddy didn't feel this kind of atmosphere. He was dumb and couldn't see it. For him these days, as long as he touched Severus' hand and felt his breath, he was satisfied.But the kind Aunt Thompson always felt very guilty about leaving her two children alone.

"Grandma, you're leaving tomorrow. I can't take you to the pier." There was a hint of embarrassment in the voice, "This is my origami crane. I, I don't have money to buy anything for you, grandma." .”

A small white paper crane stays obediently and quietly in the simple box.Aunt Thompson's eyes were wet, and she wiped away tears, "Good boy, I really don't want to leave you. Hey"

"Sister, it's okay to pick them up after we've settled down." Aunt Thompson's younger brother comforted her. He also liked the two children very much, although one of them was a little too cold.His financial situation is not very good, and he cannot afford the life of two children.

"Grandma, it's okay. You can write letters when the time comes..." Severus's words stopped suddenly. Only at this moment did he realize that apart from the very simple words he learned back then, basically, for English, he Can say can't read... Severus Snape sadly realized the fact that he was illiterate.It doesn't matter, the villain in Severus clenched his fists to encourage himself, at worst he taught himself, and he didn't believe that he would not be able to handle those 26 letters.

"Grandma, you can write to me, I will definitely get back to you"

Aunt Thompson gave the address note to Severus, "You can also write to me. You can also come to Australia to find me."

Severus looked at the address with a serious face... the letters on it, well, he knew all the letters, and he couldn't read them together.After eating and taking the two children home in the dark, Aunt Thompson secretly stuffed a hundred pounds into Severus' little hand.Severus didn't refuse, he knew his current situation, 100 pounds could improve his life a lot.He doesn't have any strong inferiority complex or strong self-esteem. In this world, to live and live well is his goal.

The next day, after delivering the milk, he passed by the familiar hut, looking at the empty former Aunt Thompson's hut, and looking at the windows without the familiar hollow curtains, Severus stood there for a long time.This first separation of time and space, and the departure of familiar and close people left Severus at a loss, feeling sour and empty in his heart.The tears that I thought would not shed still fell after seeing the empty house.

Life goes on, and part-time work is also very difficult.Severus was still reluctant to use the £100 that Aunt Thompson gave him.Sometimes, thinking that you have 100 pounds of savings and planning how to use the money makes people feel that life is still very good.

The part-time tavern couldn't afford good cleaning agents, and the inferior cleaning agents severely corroded Severus' little hands. In order to be able to wash more dishes, Severus didn't use gloves, and his hands were completely open. Dirty greasy water and aggressive detergents.Soon, his hand began to crack and bleed, and it developed to the point where it hurt even to touch it.In order to keep his job, he just bought Band-Aids and rubber gloves.It's just that he washes slowly, comes home later, and rests less.Even with the protection of gloves and band-aids, every time my hands are immersed in water, it still hurts like bone-piercing pain, so I can only grit my teeth and persist.Sometimes, looking at his ragged clothes and his swollen, deformed and bleeding hands, he wants to cry, he wants to find a hug and someone to vent the hard work he has suppressed for so long, but when he returns home, he faces the waiting His, relying on his Viddy, he still can only pull out a smiling face and make a relaxed and indifferent look.
