Chapter 35

Huai Fengnian stayed at school for two consecutive weeks because of exams and didn't go home, and the glasses that Yu Renbang borrowed couldn't fit properly.So after picking up the broken glasses, she felt that the frames could still be used, so she spent 80 yuan to ask for leave and went outside the school to have the lenses fitted.The store owner looked disgusted, "Your frame is no longer good, you have to change it."

"As long as you can use it, you can wear a lens. I will find a way for the frame." The solution is that the shop owner handed her two gout stickers, squinted her eyes, cut the gout stickers into thin strips, and wrapped the broken frame.After putting on the glasses, I walked two steps and pushed them, but I couldn't use my strength to hold the broken frame.Yu Ren couldn't see it, "Not enough money? I can borrow you for a cheaper shelf."

Huai Fengnian shook his hand, "No need, I have to wear this pair of glasses for two months."

She had lunch at a small restaurant with Yu Ren at noon on Sunday, and when the heat hit the lenses and stuck them, she took off her broken glasses and wiped them.

"Why do you have to wear it for two months?" Yu Ren was puzzled.

"Because it takes two months for my mother to accept this fact, which is an objective law that does not depend on my will." Her mother in the "Fengnianxiang" wonton shop can't use "scrupulous" to describe her life in business. , but stingy to the extreme.She can accurately calculate whether every pocket money spent by Huaifengnian is reasonable, such as buying sanitary napkins. Huaifengnian said that she needs to buy two packs of Shubao during the four days of menstruation. He scolded his daughter again, "It will take four days to die."

So for the glasses legs, her mother would pretend to ignore them the first few times she saw them.Because she has to mentally calculate how much it will cost to get a new pair of glasses, and then spend several weeks mentally building herself up, "Get a new pair, look at how useless she is."

In the end, I was very reluctant to take out 100 yuan for my daughter to buy a new frame, "Remember to bring back the receipt."

Huai Fengnian's father's salary is not high but he doesn't pay a penny. He and his wife have lived their lives separately for many years.Every penny of Huaifengnian's high school expenses was squeezed out by her mother's frugality.

Huai Fengnian, who had seen clearly the general trend of changing glasses, grabbed Yu Ren's arm, "Are you going home or to see the little apprentice?" Yu Ren told her that she had a student, Yuan Liu, who hadn't started school yet.

"My mother is on a business trip." Yu Ren smiled slyly, which meant that she didn't have to rush home and could visit San'er two hours before make-up classes.But immediately thinking that Uo had gone to the provincial capital and could not meet her, Yu Ren's mood darkened again.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you to see the little apprentice." Huai Fengnian put back his glasses, "I don't want to go home and work after the holiday."

Yu Ren passed by the cake shop and bought two bagels, and went to the village in the city with Huai Fengnian.Huai Fengnian looked at the bright red "demolish" characters on the wall and sighed, "The movement to create wealth has started again."

"It's still early." When Yu Ren and Ren Songhong were together, he heard his father answer the phone. He talked with someone in a firm tone. When he mentioned the urban village in the new district, Ren Songhong expressed his position cryptically, "This is the plan. From the perspective of specific implementation It's very difficult."

A little difficulty means that there is hope for this matter, and a lot of difficulty means that it is currently impossible.

Walking to the door of Yuan Huifang's house, I saw a small bald head rushing out of the China Unicom store that was "dismantled" and hugging Yu Ren's waist, "Sister Yu Ren!"

Yu Ren was stunned, and reached out to touch Yuan Liu's bald head, "You...why did you shave your head?"

Yuan Liu's fresh bald head didn't show any hair yet, she also touched the top of her head and laughed, "Su Hai scalded my hair, her mother helped me fix it."

"Hey, little friend, you repaired it thoroughly and it's very environmentally friendly." Huai Fengnian knew why Yu Ren liked her when he saw Yuan Liu. The little guy's eyes are very lively, his nose is small and his face is round, and he can vaguely see some beauty Embryo.

"Have you forgotten the arithmetic tables and new words that I taught you before?" Yu Ren picked up Yuan Liu and looked at her, "It's okay if you forget, sister will review for you."

"I haven't forgotten!" Yuan Liu began to memorize the addition table without interrupting.After seeing Yu Ren, she was so happy that she lost herself, and she swayed her arms around Yu Ren's neck like beating time.Yu Ren looked at her and smiled, and touched her little bald head after she finished reciting, "That's great, my sister brought you a bagel, chocolate flavored."

She carried Yuan Liu to the entrance of the Unicom store, and Yuan Huifang also leaned out and smiled at her, "Xiaoyu is here, come here, auntie made red date tea and have a drink." Serve as the little teacher in the No. [-] Middle School.

A few days ago, Yu Ren's hair was scalded by Mao Xinxia's daughter, so she grabbed a child and threw it at the door of the barber shop, asking Mao Xinxia what to do? "My Xiaoliu's long hair, which has been raised for two years, is permed like this. How do you teach the child?"

It was rare for Mao Xinxia, ​​who was wronged by herself, to beat up Su Hai. The little hair stylist who was frightened immediately cried loudly again, but the victim Yuan Liu looked at her in a daze.Yuan Huifang was not to be outdone, and gave Yuan Liu a slap, "Are you a fool? You don't know how to cry when you are bullied?" After scolding, there were three more "bang bang bang" chestnuts.

Yuan Liu didn't think it was a big deal that her hair was fuzzy, but after being hit on the head, she finally cried.

Little Beilei from Chengzhong Village, Xinqiao Street, cried with a melodious voice and a long breath.When Little Red Fuji cries, there is no sound.Yuan Liu never dared to speak out like this, she still has the memory of being beaten before.Tears just slipped from her clear round eyes, and she couldn't help crying again before sniffling.

She has self-esteem, and the neighborhood neighbor sometimes glanced at her and muttered behind her in a voice pretending she couldn't hear, "The ones who were adopted just don't look like Yuan Huifang and his wife at all, and it doesn't matter how long they are raised."

She once asked Yuan Huifang, mother, what is adoption?They said I was brought here.

Yuan Huifang was furious immediately, walked out of the China Unicom store, and yelled at the neighbors, "What are you chewing? Why didn't you chew your son and made other people's stomachs bigger? Why didn't you chew your husband and squatted in the East Police Station for three days?" Yuan Huifang knew his weakness Many, her way of confrontation is to actively collect information about her neighbors, and return it by piercing her opponent's weakness.

Gradually, in the past two years, Yuan Liu stopped asking, and she would observe the difference between her parents and other people's families.Aunt Mao Xinxia on the opposite side was dressed up beautifully, and sometimes she would hold a Suhai bicycle when she pulled down the store door. Yuan Liu heard the bell ringing in the street, and saw the skirts of the mother and daughter fluttering on the old bicycle.Su Hai hugged her mother's waist and said that she wanted to eat chicken wings and yellow peach cake.Mao Xinxia stepped on the bicycle, "Okay--" the long-drawn-out pampering was what she longed to hear.

Although Su Hai's stepfather didn't treat her as well as Mao Xinxia, ​​and sometimes even ignored her, he would not take off his leather shoes and throw them in front of the child, "Wipe them." "What's the use of you? You can't do this well."

Yuan Liu has never experienced "June [-]st" or other festivals. On this day, other children happily put on their little wings and went out to play with their parents with balloons. She sat on the big boss chair and stared at them.Once staring too engrossed, Yuan Huifang turned his face to look at her, then put down the big enamel tea mug and went to the canteen to buy her a bag of potato chips, "Don't finish it all at once!"

Yuan Liu ate that rare bag of potato chips for a week, and the potato chips were damp and limp in the end. Yuan Huifang gave her another bite, "Trash things, shit can't match a mouthful of hot ones."

In front of Mao Xinxia, ​​Yuan Liu stared at the ground, the side of his shoes was wet.She didn't know where she was wrong, and she didn't know how to make this embarrassing situation pass quickly.On the contrary, Mao Xinxia yelled at Su Hai to let her rest, then pulled Xiao Yuanliu over, checked her hair carefully and looked into her eyes, "I can only shave my head, but in a few months, when your hair grows back, auntie will cut it for you." Pretty hair, okay?" Mao Xinxia is good-looking, much younger than her mother Yuan Huifang, and she speaks softer, and Yuan Liu felt a lot more relaxed after hearing this.

But the child didn't dare to nod. Mao Xinxia looked at her awkward neighbor Yuan Huifang, "Is it okay for her to wash and cut her hair without paying?"

Only then did Yuan Huifang agree, and little Yuan Liu finally turned into a little bald head.Accustomed to the new hairstyle, she hugged Yu Ren's neck, her two fleshy cheeks twitched happily, and a row of small deciduous teeth were exposed, "Sister Yu Ren..." She pressed against Yu Ren, but couldn't say the following words, He could only hold his sister's collar tightly with both hands, which made Yu Ren feel uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Yu Ren asked.

"She's just crazy and pretending to be a baby." Yuan Huifang smiled and scolded her daughter, "Aren't you coming down?"

Yuan Liu obediently slid to the ground, she looked up at Yu Ren and grinned again.Yu Ren pulled another small chair for Huai Fengnian to sit down, and then gave Yuan Liu a bagel, "Don't worry, let's eat first."

The children took the bagels but looked at the barbershop across the road. Su Hai was looking at them like a delicate long-haired Yorkshire through the glass door.Yu Ren also looked over, "What a beautiful little girl." She waved at Su Hai, "Hi..."

Su Hai also laughed, and waved at Yu Ren.

Yuan Liu glanced at Yuan Huifang in the store, and saw that she had poured jujube tea for the little teacher and the others and turned back to the kitchen to do her work—she would make lunch when Liu Maosong came back.Finally safe, Yuan Liu shook the bagel in his hand towards Su Hai, Su Hai opened the door and rushed over, took a bite of the bagel shyly and glanced at Yu Ren.

But her eyes were quickly attracted by the curly-haired elder sister with glasses legs. Su Hai inherited the barber's studious talent and keen sense of fashion from Mao Xinxia. Tuantuan is also elastic.

Huai Fengnian, who had already taken out the novel and read it, raised his head, his eyes behind the round-framed glasses showed a trace of doubt, "Huh?"

Su Hai "giggled" and continued to touch Huai Fengnian's ears with his small hands to the top of her head, and then walked around her.Huaifengnian's hairstyle is dense and small curls that are difficult for barbers to perm. If it is shorter, it is Manjushri, and if it is longer, she will tie a small short braid in the middle, and let the remaining bangs and temples be contented. twist.

"It's beautiful." Su Hai pinched the curly hair with excellent texture and couldn't put it down, while Huai Fengnian looked at the cute little girl in front of him, "Sister, I want to read a book."

Su Hai stretched out the bagel he took a bite out of and said, "Here you are." It means an exchange of equal value. You eat the bagel, and I'll pat your head for fun.

Huai Fengnian smiled helplessly, and stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Suhai on his lap, "You can touch it casually, don't bother me while I'm reading."

Yu Ren, who had started to teach Yuan Liu how to read, thought that Huai Fengnian and the others would be quiet like this, when he suddenly heard a scream.

Huai Fengnian covered her head with one hand and hugged the little girl with the other, "Why are you pulling out my hair?" The broken glasses slipped under her nostrils, and her shortsighted five degrees of eyesight struggled to focus, and she was so painful that she shone fiercely.

Su Hai slid down her legs, grabbed the half-baked donut and went back to the barber shop while biting it, and held up a strand of curly hair she picked up to her mother, Mao Xinxia, ​​who was cutting hair for customers, "Mom ! Burn this for me!"

Huai Fengnian was stunned to see the child slip away, she rubbed her head and frowned, "Your Yuan Liu is still good."

The child holding the pen smiled shyly. The new big sister said "Your Yuan Liu", she sniffled and looked at sister Yu Ren flatteringly.Yu Ren scratched her nose distressedly, "Xiao Liu is just too obedient."
