soul resonance

The evening self-study was announced amid the wailing of everyone, even later than before. The original get out of class end time was postponed from [-]:[-] p.m.

On weekends, Xu Heqi was knitting sweaters with his mother in the yard. The colored yarns were messily placed on his knees, and his hands kept turning. The bag is for Mama Xu.

"Isn't last year's sweater still wearable? Why have you started knitting again?" Xu Heqi vaguely remembered that last year's sweater was still new.

Xu's mother controlled the long needles, and the wool shuttled between several long needles, and was quickly arranged into various patterns, "You don't even look at how tall you have grown in a year, how can you wear those sweaters?" Ah, I just tore them all apart and rewove them."

Teenagers are growing their bodies, Xu Heqi doesn't realize it, but Xu's mother knows very well that most of last year's winter clothes, especially close-fitting ones, can no longer be worn.

If it costs money to buy a new one, why not dismantle the old one, buy some wool, and weave it again. She thinks her craftsmanship is pretty good. In the past, when the family conditions were good, she would also weave for Dad Xu and Xu He when she was free. One or two pieces, not only warm and beautiful but also save money.

Xu Heqi looked at the wool in his hands, no wonder it was messy and crooked, his feelings were like old sweaters that were torn apart.

"It's hard for you to take a break, and you don't have a free time." Xu Heqi doesn't care much about what he wears, but he loves his mother. Knitting a piece of clothing is not easy, and it takes a lot of time and effort.

"What's the matter, just sit here and move your hands, so you won't get tired." Mother Xu bit off a thread, and reconnected it with another color. Handmade extra high-end.

No matter how much money she has, she doesn't want her son to be looked down upon by others.

"By the way, Mom, our school will start evening self-study next week." Xu Heqi told Mother Xu about it, "You come back late at night, don't wait for me, go to bed early."

"How late it is." Xu's mother was a little worried.

"get out of class ends at [-]:[-], and it's almost ten o'clock when I get home."

"Why is it so late? The last bus is at [-]:[-]. You can't even catch the bus when you come back. Then mom will pick you up by bike at night." Xu's car has been sold long ago, Xu Mom now rides an electric bike to work.

She still doesn't know that Zhou Duo picks up Xu Heqi every day.

"Why do you pick me up? You come back from get off work and rest early. Brother Duo and I will take his car together. Anyway, we are going the same way."

"It's not safe for you two children to be so late."

"What's so unsafe about us two big boys? Even if I have thin arms and thin legs, there is Brother Duo. Does he seem easy to provoke?" Xu Heqi said jokingly.

Xu's mother thought about Zhou Duo's physique, she really didn't look like someone to be provoked, and she relaxed a little, "Xiao Duo is a good boy." She boasted, "I'll weigh some wool tomorrow and knit one for him too." , take it as a thank you for taking care of you."

"He won't dislike it, I think that child is wearing brand-name products." Xu's mother said with some hesitation just after she finished speaking.

"If you don't dislike it, you definitely don't dislike it." Xu Heqi quickly explained, giving his boyfriend a lot of impression points, "He is not the kind of person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich."

"I think so. He is willing to be a good friend with you, and he will definitely not dislike our poor family." The so-called love of the house and the black, in the eyes of Xu's mother, who has a good relationship with her son, must be a good person.

If they were mother and son, their eyes were surprisingly unanimous, and a good card was attached to Zhou Duo first.

Hearing what his mother said, Xu Heqi paused his hand for pulling the yarn, and thought to himself: He is not only willing to be a good friend with your son, he is also your son's boyfriend!

"By the way, Mom wants to discuss something with you."

"You say."

"Yesterday your uncle and second uncle came to our house again, and it was for the debt. I think they are determined to force us to hand over the house, thinking that it is better to sell the house to them than we sell it. It is cheaper. It's cheaper, it's better than what your two uncles offered."

Xu Heqi continued fiddling with wool expressionlessly. What he didn't tell his mother was that after Uncle Xu and Uncle Xu came to ask for debts, he inquired that the person who wanted to buy the house was actually a friend of his two uncles.

The matter of asking for debts is presumably also in order to suppress housing prices, and several people collude with each other.

If he didn't pay, his two uncles couldn't do anything. The IOU was written in black and white, and the money should be paid back within five years.

"Mom knows that this is the house my father left behind, so you must be reluctant to part with it." Seeing Xu Heqi's silence, Xu's mother guessed his thoughts, "But just like your father said at the beginning, the living are more important. "

"You are going to take the college entrance examination next year. Don't ask for money to go to college. Mom doesn't want your two uncles to make trouble and disturb you because of the money owed, so you can sell it clean."

She has only been in love once in her life, and she met a very good person. After many years of marriage, the couple had occasional quarrels, and it was often her husband who let her go.

The happy first half of her life created her gentle and easy-going personality, and her love for her husband also made her unwilling to really break up with her husband's relatives, so she had to back down a little. Besides, each family has its own difficulties. It's better to settle things like people's money and money early.

"But mom, even if you sell it now, the house won't sell for much. The person who asked you to buy the house simply colluded with uncle and uncle." Xu Heqi gritted his teeth and told his mother the truth, "They In order to lower the price of the house, I found people who came to ask for debts at this time, and you are in a hurry to pay back the money, so naturally they will say what they say."

"If you think about it, the price mentioned by the uncle and the second uncle is a nonsense. Even the fools know that it is impossible. They just want you to think that it is better to sell the house to them. When the house is sold, they will resell it. You can earn a fortune by increasing the price, and it is said that it is a last resort, but in fact it is all because of profit."

"You... how do you know?" Xu's mother stopped knitting and her hands were a little lost. Her husband's brothers were actually such people.

"After they came to make a fuss last time, I felt something was wrong, so I went to inquire about it, and found out that the uncle and the second uncle had known the person who wanted to buy the house for a long time. Think about it, they were so anxious for money, but they didn't do it afterwards. No matter how they come to urge them, I guess they don't dare to really tear themselves apart from us."

After all, bullying the orphans and widows left behind by their brothers would be poked in the back. No matter what they do, they still have to care about their own face.

"But even if you don't consider the debts owed by your uncles and uncles, you still have to consider the matter of your going to college. My current salary is just enough to pay off the interest on the debts owed by my family for a year, and the money for your education has never been paid. Where did you come from, besides, if you don’t pay back the money now, you will have to pay it back in two years, and you haven’t graduated from university at that time.”

The house will be sold sooner or later, and the early sale will also make the children less worried about the financial situation of the family.

"Wait a little longer. If I can get the first prize in the college entrance examination, the school will reward me. At that time, I won't have to worry about my school money, and I can pay off part of my debt." Before the matter was completed, Xu He Xi originally didn't want to say it out loud, but now he wants to persuade his mother again.

"It's not so easy to get the number one scholar. Just study hard and don't put too much pressure on yourself." Mother Xu looked at Xu Heqi lovingly. It's not bad, if the pressure is too great, I'm afraid it will suffocate the child.

"Really, the teacher also said that I have hope. Don't you want to keep the house, this home?"

Mama Xu, do you want to?Of course she thought that she had lived in this house for more than [-] years, and she had more memories here than Xu Heqi.

Every piece of furniture in the house was selected and arranged by her and her husband, and every plant and tree in the yard was planted by her and her husband.

Especially the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard, which she planted shortly after her wedding with her lover. For that tree, they discussed for a long time and chose for a long time before making a decision.

The sweet-scented osmanthus tree has many meanings, such as auspiciousness, loyalty, and honor, which just meet all the expectations of their family.

She hopes that her family will always be auspicious and healthy, that the love between herself and her husband will always be faithful, and that her children will succeed in the palace and have a good future.

Year after year, she watched the tree grow vigorously. The flowers bloomed and withered for more than [-] years, and she herself went from youth to middle age.

Sometimes when I sit at the door and look at the tree, I can still see the shadow of my husband in a trance, as if I went back to a long time ago, when they surrounded the small sapling and placed their expectations for the future together.

A tear fell from Ms. Xu's eyes. She never thought that one day her husband would leave first by herself, and the promise of a white head became a separation between yin and yang.

"Mom, I'm sorry!" Seeing his mother crying, Xu Heqi apologized at a loss. He asked the wrong thing. How could his mother not want to keep this house? If it wasn't for him, his mother wouldn't be in a hurry to sell the house.

"It's okay, you didn't do anything wrong, why apologize to mom." Xu's mother raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but she didn't expect the tears to flow more and more, "I just... just miss your father." She simply covered her face He started crying softly.

There is still a reunion to be expected after life and death, so what should be the explanation for death?

"Mom." Xu Heqi hugged his mother and murmured, patting her on the back to comfort her.

After crying for a while, Mother Xu's mood improved a little. She got up quickly and wiped away her tears.She always felt that the child was still young, and after her father left, she should be stronger as a mother, so she never showed her vulnerable side in front of Xu Heqi, but today, for some reason, she couldn't hold back for a while.

"Don't worry about the house, mom will figure out a way." Xu's mother wiped away her tears and smiled and said to Xu Heqi, "Didn't you say that you have to go to Xiaoduo's homework in the afternoon? Then mom will cook first." Already, finish your meal early so you can go find him."

Without waiting for Xu Heqi's reaction, she put the half-knitted sweater on the stool, turned and entered the room.

Xu Heqi looked at his mother's back, clenched his fists, and his eyes became more determined. He must keep the house.
