Wu Tian didn't talk to Aunt An's son much, and he didn't even remember his name.

All he knew was that the big brother was what many parents called a "child from someone else's family". He was tall, good at sports, sensible and polite, and most importantly, he was a top student, the kind who came first in his grade.

The way he looks at others... No, or it should be said, the way he looks at Wu Tian always has a feeling of being aloof and looking down on him.

So he didn't like that elder brother, and he always had a subconscious defense against Aunt An who was always smiling.

But Wu Tian's mother did not understand his feelings. She always greeted Aunt An's visit with a smile.Fortunately, Aunt An didn't bring her son with her every time she came. Most of the time, she came alone.As soon as they met, they would go hand in hand to the bedroom and close the door to talk about themselves, leaving Wu Tian alone to do homework in the outer hall.

He didn't know what they were talking about, what they could talk for so long.He didn't even bother to take care of it, after all, children can't take care of adults' affairs.

He only cares about finding something to do that makes him happy, or doing something that can make some money and make life at home easier.He had envied others, but later discovered that envying others does not necessarily make him happy, and sometimes makes him even more sad.

Before going to bed, he played games with Zhao Yizhen as usual.It feels good to lie down and win with the master, although sometimes it lacks a sense of accomplishment.

He yawned, stretched his legs and lay flat, turned sideways and stared at Zhao Yizhen's mobile phone screen: "Brother Zhen, it seems that you rarely mention family matters. You have been wandering outside all year round, won't your family worry?"

"I...well. I don't dare to go back..." Zhao Yizhen turned over and put his arm lightly on Wu Tian's shoulder.

It is easier to fall asleep in a trusted, familiar environment.Wu Tian didn't respond for a while, Zhao Yizhen turned off the game to see him, the guy was already fast asleep.

The two of them have a tacit understanding, whenever they want to talk about their past, they can talk at any time, and when they don't want to talk, they don't go deep into it.Wu Tian asked too much about Zhao Yizhen before, maybe every family has hard-to-recite scriptures, he knows it better than anyone else.

Wu Tian's mother is named Wu Yuemei, she is a frail old lady with a good temper.

When she was a child, her family was poor, and when she was growing up, her parents divorced.

Her father took her younger brother to form another family, and her mother remarried.For such a fool... They don't think much about it, and all kinds of prevarications are like kicking a ball.She had to take turns boarding at relatives' homes, living with hunger and full meals.

In this environment, her academic performance was not good. She didn't even finish high school. She dropped out of school early at the age of fifteen or sixteen and went to work around Suicheng.

She has low education and is still young, so no formal factory wants her.So what can be found is either an unofficial factory that squeezes the employees too much, or the kind of work that is tiring and hard, and no one is willing to do it.

Wu Yuemei went to carry all her belongings - a backpack, and ran all over Suicheng, only to barely find a garment factory willing to take her in.She followed the masters on the assembly line to cut, sew, and glue the semi-finished decorations on the ready-made garments.

The factory is filled with the pungent smell of glue and other processing chemicals, and fabric fibers and cloth scraps are flying all over the sky... The high-intensity labor makes her feel like a machine.After a day of work, I am exhausted, and I feel pain everywhere.

"Hey, my body probably broke down like this. I was young at that time and didn't understand anything. If something feels uncomfortable, I'll be fine the next day." Taking advantage of Wu Tian, ​​I went to go through the renewal procedures At the same time, Wu Yuemei sat on the hospital bed chatting with Zhao Yizhen and Xia Bing with a smile.

Xia Bing was quite moved by her experience when she was young, the fate of people is so different, each has its own suffering.He murmured sadly: "There are some small factories. The glue they use is poisonous, and it will cause great harm to the human body after a long time. Auntie, have you been working there since then? Have you applied for an occupational injury appraisal or something?" ?”

Wu Yuemei shook her head, and said with a wry smile: "I've been working in that factory, I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death! Later, I stopped working in the factory! Hey, there are fruits here, don't you want some?"

She picked up an exquisite packed lunch box on the bedside table, opened the transparent cover, and handed it to Xia Bing.

"You guys brought it here, I'll keep it and eat it slowly. This one is freshly cut, and it was just delivered this morning. You can eat it with confidence, don't hold it against you."

When Xia Bing entered the ward, he noticed the box of fruit, which contained honeydew melon, mango, pineapple, and watermelon. At first glance, it looked like it was ordered by a high-end fruit shop. It was specially selected several kinds of fruits for the store to cut up for special delivery. come here.

Xia Bing reckoned that this fruit box, plus delivery, would cost hundreds of dollars. Generally, people with such conditions as Wu Yuemei would not be willing to place an order by themselves.

Just thinking about it, Wu Yuemei had enthusiastically sent him and Zhao Yizhen each a special fruit fork that came with the fruit box.

"It's true Tiantian. If I had known that he had ordered fruit delivery for my aunt, I wouldn't have brought fruit. Hey, thank you auntie. I'm so sorry." Xia Bing took the fruit fork with a smile.

Zhao Yizhen has been here many times and is familiar with Wu Yuemei.He took the fruit fork naturally, and half-jokingly said: "I didn't see Tiantian ordering takeaway before going out. It couldn't be Tiantian's girlfriend, who was specially called here to honor you? Why didn't I hear him say that?" ..."

Wu Yuemei laughed: "How can Tiantian have a girlfriend? Couldn't it be from my friend?"

Zhao Yizhen put on an exaggerated expression of surprise: "Huh? Could it be...Auntie's boyfriend gave it to me? Why didn't I hear Tiantian mention it?"

Wu Yuemei's expression was actually a little shy: "Ouch~~ I'm already this age, and I'm a medicine jar again... Hey, we can't just be ordinary friends!"

She talks about ordinary friends, but the happy smile in her eyes cannot be concealed.That is the smile that will only be shown when referring to someone who truly admires.Could it be Wu Tian's father who gave the fruit box?But if that's the case, why didn't he bear the medical expenses of his ex-wife, why didn't he care more about Wu Tian?

Xia Bing picked up a piece of mango and put it into his mouth. It was fragrant and glutinous, and the taste was fine, without hard tendons and a hint of bitterness. It was sweeter than honey.

Wu Tian returned to the ward with a pile of bills in his hand, with a happy expression on his face. "Mom, the doctor said that if your condition in this period of hospitalization is good, you can move back home. Just take your medicine on time every day and have regular check-ups!"

Wu Yuemei looked up at him and smiled: "I also feel that my health is much better recently. It's good to go back! After going home, Ah Tim won't have to work so hard!" She couldn't help but sigh: "My dilapidated body, I can't do much. Take good care of you, it's just a drag..."

"Mom, what are you talking about! I'm your son, and I should do all these things!" Wu Tian hugged Wu Yuemei coquettishly, and turned to see Xia Bing and the others with fruit stuffed in their mouths, or a small bag in their hands. A piece of fruit stuck on a fork. "Hey? Mom! These don't seem to be the fruits we brought just now! Who brought this? Who else came to see you so early?"

"It's your Aunt An!" Wu Yuemei smiled with her eyes crooked. "She didn't come, she just ordered me a takeaway."

"Dr. Chen told me just now that you have to control your blood sugar and not eat too much fruit." Wu Tianxin took a fruit fork, picked up a blueberry, and handed it to Wu Yuemei's mouth. "It's okay to eat less, hey, this blueberry is okay to eat."

"Yes! I just ate breakfast, and I didn't dare to touch the fruit. Just in time, you guys are here, let's share it!" After Wu Yuemei finished speaking, she bit the blueberry into her mouth. "You were busy just now, I'll entertain your friends with it first~~"

Aunt An?

When Xia Bing heard this name, he was startled, half of the fruit in his hand almost fell off.

He probably wouldn't have thought of the name as a problem if it weren't for that similarly flavored stew.

But he suspected that the stew was made by Peng Rui'an.

And this fruit delivery...is Aunt An.Aunt An?Peng Ruian...she also has the word An in her name!

"Who is Aunt An?" He really couldn't suppress the doubt in his heart, so he couldn't help asking.

"Oh! It's a sister I've known for many years." Wu Yuemei sighed with such a happy smile on her face again. "It's not easy for her. It's because living conditions have improved recently that she has the time to get closer to me."

When she said this, Wu Tian suddenly had an epiphany: "Hey? Mom, then when I'm not around, will Aunt An come to see you in person? Will she often bring you food?"

Wu Yuemei smiled and nodded: "Come here occasionally. Not many times. Food is often delivered. It's convenient to order takeaway now... Hey, by the way, last time she sent her own soup, too much Well, didn't I ask you to take back a thermos?"

Wu Tian opened his mouth in surprise, shifted his gaze to Xia Bing's face, lowered his head and muttered, "Well, I, I thought it was the soup for takeout delivery..."

Wu Yuemei rolled his eyes at him: "Which takeout restaurant serves such delicious soup! She cooks the soup very carefully from the selection of ingredients to the processing steps! To be honest, after so many years, I have never encountered a soup that is so delicious. She's even more beautiful! It's a pity that she has such a good craftsmanship... She was not able to be a chef in Fenghua Building... and she couldn't keep that man..."

She fell into the memory for a moment, as if only her own, and theirs, those youthful years were left in her eyes.

Xia Bing and the others watched her quietly, waiting and expecting her to tell her own story.

But Wu Yuemei rubbed her eyes and said, "Hey, people like to talk about the past when they get older. Hahaha, it's all old millet and rotten sesame seeds. You don't have to worry about it."
