Are you wearing long pants?

It was another Friday when the beast came out of the cage, Zuo Buyan packed his schoolbag, and obediently stood at the school gate waiting for his mother and Uncle Xie to pick him up, but today was a bit strange, Uncle Xie, who has a strong sense of time, hadn’t arrived yet, he looked at his phone , and did not receive any news that he would not come to pick him up if something happened.

The school gate with people coming and going coincides with the days in my memory when I shuttled around the cram school alone with my schoolbag on my back.Sure enough, people can become hypocritical. I didn’t feel lonely when I was with street lamps and lonely shadows before, but I was so numb that I felt that it was okay to leave this world like this.Now it's just that no one is coming to pick him up, why are you so scared, and you're not a child in the kindergarten class.

I'm still a little worried, Uncle Xie is not such a person, something must have happened.

Zuo Buyan was debating whether to call Xie Kang or not.Safety education knowledge says not to answer the phone while driving.

Before he could finish tangling, the beeping sound of the car came, Zuo Buyan looked up, it was his beeping sound.He smiled slightly, sweetly, and trotted over with his schoolbag on his back.Xie Kang rolled down the car window, but Li Shu didn't come down from the back seat to pick him up. He felt strange in his heart, but didn't show it on the surface. He struggled for a while, got into the passenger seat and sat down.

"Not to mention, how is this week in school? Are you still used to it?"

Uncle Xie would ask this question every week, treating him as a primary school student who just transferred to another school and couldn't adapt to the environment.

He smiled politely: "I'm not used to it, my classmates are very good, and I can keep up with the class content."

Xie Kang was very satisfied. He glanced sideways at the red light. He was obviously a little boy, but he always had the soft and caring qualities of a little girl. Who would not like such a child.

"Aren't you curious why your mother didn't come to pick you up today?"

When Xie Kang asked such a question, Zuo Buyan always had a bad feeling in his heart.But he still chose to guess from Li Shu's option of oversleeping: "My mother stayed up late again?"

Xie Kang saw that his little face turned pale and pretended to be calm, and couldn't bear to tease him any more, so he said directly: "No, last time your mother stayed up late last time I posted about her photos without makeup on Moments, she saw that Ban Hua's comment made me quarrel for a while, and she broke up with me when she was angry. She also said to break up often before, and I never agreed, but this time I agreed."

Break up.

What he was waiting for was not the news that Uncle Xie and his mother got married, but a breakup.In less than a month, Uncle Xie made up for the lack of fatherly love in the past 17 years.His eyes were hot, and he buried his head, not knowing what to say.In his heart, his mother and Uncle Xie are both very good, no one is unworthy of the other, similarly, no one has to make do with the other, he has no position to intervene in the relationship between adults, he just feels very uncomfortable.

He's going to be without a father again.

Xie Kang heard a small weeping sound, which was suppressed and low, probably because Zuo Buyan couldn't control himself and let him hear it.

He panicked, but he was holding the steering wheel in his hand and couldn't move around, so he had to say quickly: "Don't say anything, don't be sad, listen to me. I don't really want to break up with your mother. Do you remember the last time I Did I tell you, your mother is not willing to marry me without a dose of strong medicine, I just think this time is an opportunity. "

Zuo Buyan looked at Xie Kang with red eyes, his eyes were full of disbelief, he looked like a wounded puppy who had been abandoned by his master time and time again.

"Your mother and I are in the same university. She was a senior and I was a junior. I fell in love with her at first sight. For me who has been living step by step, she is the only variable. Everything unknown is fascinating. After one month of school, I I prepared a huge confession, and I was going to confess to her. This should be the craziest thing I have done in my youth."

Recalling, Xie Kang's face was full of nostalgia, nostalgia for that touch of bright color, even if it was not his own.

"On the day of the confession, I found out that she has a boyfriend who is in a long-distance relationship. She is planning to go to his city after graduation. I thought at the time, your mother is such an unconventional and romantic person who likes to read romance novels. The person she likes must be He's a campus male god, with a white shirt, black trousers, clean and refreshing appearance. But in fact, what I saw was an ordinary boy with glasses and a little fat."

"My dad?"

"Yes. I was crazy at the time, and I was a little confident in my appearance. At that time, I thought I was ready. Let's continue the confession. I didn't talk about being together, I just told her that there is such a handsome boy who likes her. he."

Zuo Buyan became entangled in listening, and subconsciously grabbed his seat belt: "Did the confession go well?"

Xie Kang sneered: "Successful fart, your dad called the police and said that I set fire to the school and stabbed people everywhere. I was talking about I like you, and the police car drove in directly. Ula, ula, who is in the mood to continue talking."

"Is it really okay to report false alarms?" His father's image in his mind was once again discounted.

"Why is there no problem, I was directly educated by the police station at night. I was very angry at the time. In the police station, your mother always greeted your father, and your father even ordered her to lose his temper, saying that she was in the police station when he didn't know. Seduce people. If it wasn’t in the police station, I would definitely beat him up. I was really frustrated that night, and I found out that your mother is a love brain, and your father is machismo, and there is a bit of mind control over others. It feels like belittling your mother all the time, moral kidnapping."

"and after?"

"There was no later, I was young and frivolous, and I would never pester a girl with a boyfriend again. I went to a law firm for an internship, and then I heard that your mother went to your father's city. When I saw her again , five years later, a mutual friend contacted me to help your mother in a divorce lawsuit. But your mother concealed a lot of things at the time, and didn’t say that your father was domestically violent and mentally controlled. She had been a housewife for several years and had no job at all. and income, you were naturally sentenced to your father. Afterwards I asked her why she didn’t mention domestic violence, which was obviously a favorable evidence. She said that her education is not as high as your father’s, and she doesn’t have a job. She must not be able to support you. Sell ​​it to your dad, she said your dad promised her that as long as she doesn't talk about domestic violence, she will raise you well."

It turned out that the past happened like this, Zuo Buyan was very confused: "I thought it was because my mother didn't want me, so she didn't contact me for so many years."

"Don't look at her saying that she is a girl at eighteen. How could she have such a big son? In fact, in the first few years of divorce, she had nightmares every night. But she didn't dare to see you, for fear of being reluctant to see you, I’m also afraid that after seeing you, I’ll be found out that your dad doesn’t treat you well. Besides, she has eaten so many brainwashing bags from your dad, she just feels like garbage in the soil, even if she just appears 50 meters away from you, she will pollute The air around you. Your father is not very capable, but Pua is very proficient."

"After the divorce, your mother has always felt that she is not worthy of a relationship. This is not good, that is not good. I have been lurking for seven or eight years before I succeeded in taking the position. It is not easy after taking the position. Your mother has no sense of security. Whenever she feels insecure, she always uses Threatening me to break up, I said that since I don't feel safe, I should get married, but she turned into a quail when she heard that she got married, and hesitated, I was so angry, why should other scumbags hurt her, I have to bear the consequences, I'm not going to follow her this time. But don't worry, don't say that I broke up with your mother this time, even if it's true, you are still my son of Xie Kang in my heart. It's on your mother."

Having said so much, Zuo Buyan really understands that Uncle Xie is going to take the top position this time, and some anticipation faintly emerges from the bottom of his heart.

Looking forward to a complete and happy family.

"Uncle Xie, I want a younger sister or younger brother. I will definitely teach her well."

Xie Kang was amused: "Why do you still believe in the older generation's tricks, you plan to use a child to tie my heart?"

Zuo Buyan blushed immediately, and he murmured, "It's not all because of this."

He just wanted a little sister or a little brother. When he was young, he was always envious of the second-child family next door. He was happy and noisy, but when he was beaten, his brother would always run out. Take the blame and protect the little sister.

When he was very young, when he was beaten, he once imagined that he had a little sister in his arms, and he wanted to protect the little sister well, trying his best to wrap himself into a ball, making it airtight.

The smaller existence is the source of his fictional courage and the power to support him to live.

"Okay, then you want little sister, and you have to find out the enemy's situation for me when you get home. Although I am sure to win, I am still afraid that some fish will slip through the net."

"Understood." Zuo Buyan gave Xie Kang an ok gesture.

After bidding farewell to Xie Kang, Zuo Buyan used his mobile phone to search for the girl's situation after her lovelorn while walking.According to Baidu, girls are very energetic before breaking up and will be very sad. It will be fine after the first three months.

Zuo Buyan was mentally prepared for his mother to cry bitterly and need comfort after returning home, but when he opened the door, the house was in order, the windows were bright and clean, and the smell of rice wafted in the air.

"Baby Buyan, you're back! The meal is ready, come and eat." Li Shu spoke, looking towards the door, Zuo Buyan closed the door directly, no one else appeared, she whispered secretly After cursing, his expression didn't change.

What happened was completely opposite to what he had imagined.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and put his schoolbag on the sofa: "Mom, I'm going to wash my hands."

The dining table is next to the kitchen, Zuo Buyan went straight into the kitchen to wash his hands, and looked down to see several takeaway boxes and an empty wine bottle in the trash can.

It seemed that my mother didn't care as much as she showed, maybe it was a forced disguise.

Li Shu didn't know that his impersonation of ordering takeaway had been exposed. He kept hinting that Zuo Buyan took photos and posted them on Moments, and directly stated that he must specify in the copy that "my mother cooks the dishes herself", so that everyone can see them.

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

Zuo Buyan naturally followed Li Shu's wishes and posted a suggestive circle of friends.

Soon, Zuo Buyan received a message from Xie Kang.

Xie Kang: "Your mother is like this. She always doesn't say what she wants directly, but only hints. On the surface, the cloud is calm, but in fact, she is secretly sad. The novels she writes, usually write three thousand, and cry to the sky. This latest chapter has a full [-] words, including me in it, cannon fodder man, he will die. She is not the one who cooks the rice, she can't even fry tomato scrambled eggs well. "

Only then did Zuo Buyan know that his mother not only read novels, but also wrote them herself.

Zuo Buyan silently replied, "Uncle Xie, the truth is out."

Li Shu took a piece of meat with his chopsticks, pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Who should you message?"

Can it be said that it is thanks to Kang?Certainly not, he was a spy.

"My roommate, he asked me if I would go to a cooking class on Sundays."

Li Shu let out a weak voice, the meaning was unknown.

In the evening, Li Shu went to bed early for an unprecedented time, went to bed with Zuo Buyan at ten o'clock, and finished telling the romantic good night story as usual.

At three o'clock, Zuo Buyan woke up, and quietly went to listen to the movement outside Li Shu's bedroom door, but there was no sound, it seemed that his mother was sleeping soundly, and did not cry secretly in the middle of the night.

Zuo Buyan went back the same way, lay down peacefully, and tried to hypnotize himself.

When he was drowsy, Zuo Buyan was awakened by the vibration of his mobile phone.

The other end of the phone cut to the chase: "Excuse me, is it Zuo Buyan?"

"I'm."

"Is Li Shu your mother?"

"Yes, what's wrong."

"Oh, it's like this. We are here at the Chuncheng Lane Police Station in Beicheng. Something happened to your mother. You may need to come to the police station for bail..."

After answering the phone, Zuo Buyan was almost overwhelmed, so he finally chose to call Xie Kang.

Xie Kang stared in a daze: "Don't say anything, what's wrong?"

"Uncle Xie, my mother has entered the police station."

Xie Kang woke up suddenly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Zuo Buyan recalled what the police uncle said just now, and he repeated it concisely: "My mother went to KTV to hire a male model."

Xie Kang's heart suddenly lifted, and he was disheartened, because he was too confident.

"After she drank too much, she suddenly repented, and reported herself to the police, saying that she had attempted prostitution, sorry for her boyfriend, and let the police uncle arrest her to eat in prison. Mom called the police and was found out by the KTV foreman, and they fought again .”

Xie Kang: ...Outrageous.

The author has something to say: Parental love: bloody, outrageous.

Zuo Buyan's worldview: fragmented.
