Views:

Back at the hotel, under the vigilant surveillance of Boss Tang, I packed up my things and went home.

When I arrived at the door of the house, I just inserted the key in. I was stunned for a moment. I remembered it very clearly. Although I really wanted to escape early, I tidied up the room and locked the door when I went out.

But now the door is obviously not locked, before I can think of a reason, the door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman appeared at the door with a garbage bag in her hand. , almost threw the garbage bag in my hand at me.

Uh, why is mom here

After the garbage bag drew an arc in the air, my mother patted her chest and said, "You son of a bitch, don't even knock on the door when you come back."

I also froze for a moment before replying: "Mom, why are you here?"

"Come and see you, by the way, you are not at home these days, where have you been?" Mom said while putting the garbage bag in her hand by the door.

"I didn't go anywhere, oh, the company arranged a business trip." I dare not tell my mother that I have been fired by the company.

I live in a single-parent family. My father died in a car accident when I was still in high school. My brother and sister-in-law also died at the same time, leaving only my mother Li Cui and my brother who was still an infant. Daughter Wu Xueer.

All these years, my mother has supported a three-generation family with the meager income of working in a restaurant. The environment did not improve until I started working. Naturally, I don’t want my mother to worry about me.

My mother looked at me in detail, then looked at the big and small bags on the ground, showing a trace of suspicion, and then said with concern: "Rui'er, are you uncomfortable? If the work is too tiring, let's change it."

"Mom, it's okay. By the way, where is Xueer?" I turned away from my mother's words, and saw that my mother was about to help me lift the package on the ground, so I quickly picked it up in my hand.

My mother had no choice but to put the package on the back and said: "There is no one to worry about, what about the infusion on the bed?"

"What's wrong?" I hurriedly asked after hearing Xue'er's infusion.

At this time, a clear and clear child's voice came from the room: "Uncle, Uncle."

I hurried into the room, and a 5 or 6-year-old girl was lying on the bed, looking at me pitifully.

I took a few steps forward, casually put the package in my hand on the ground, and touched Xue'er's forehead with my hand, obviously feeling that Xue'er's body temperature was abnormal, so I asked, "Xue'er, why did you catch a cold. "

Xue'er pursed her lips: "Uncle doesn't like Xue'er anymore, when Xue'er is here, my uncle is not here."

I looked at Xue'er with pity, and was about to speak when my mother followed me into the room and said loudly: "Your uncle has to work, how can he accompany you every day."

After finishing speaking, she looked at me: "This girl knows how to play like crazy. She is so big, and she doesn't know how to change her clothes when they get wet. I really don't know who she looks like."

I laughed dryly, and made a face at Xue'er who shrunk her head and dared not speak, which immediately made Xue'er giggle.

"Have you packed your things yet?" My mother probably couldn't help laughing because Xue'er and I were making fun of each other.

I woke up immediately, and picked up the package on the ground. This package contained the weird letter received by the hotel and the questioning receipt after I went to the police station. I didn’t dare to let my mother see it, so I slowly Opening the package, she said, "Mom, wash me an apple."

"How old are you? You still have to call mom after you wash an apple. Seeing how lazy you are, what will you do in the future?" Although the words were blunt, the boss still happily took an apple and walked into the kitchen.

I squatted on the ground, took out the receipt and envelope from the package, and was about to hide it.

But my mother's voice came from the kitchen: "Do you want to peel the skin?"

I was like a thief who was discovered. I was shocked and trembled. I looked back at my mother standing at the kitchen door and said, "No, no."

My mother let out an "oh", flicked the water on the apple, and walked towards me.

I smiled and looked at my mother, and threw the receipt and envelope to the bottom of the bed with my hands.

"Uncle, Uncle, it's over, it's over." Xue'er cried out on the bed, I hurriedly got up and saw that there was no water in the infusion bag, so I pulled out the needle in Xue'er's hand skillfully, there was no way , there are only three people in the family, and they have to know everything.

After taking the needle, Xue'er seemed to be revived with full blood, and shook my hand that hadn't been retracted in her arms: "Keep you not at home, keep you at home."

At this time, my mother also walked to the bedside, handed me the apple, and said to Xueer: "Is it cured, or you can go crazy again, right?"

Xue'er shrank her head, but still held my hand tightly, pouted and looked at her mother: "I want my uncle to hold it down for me, otherwise the blood will flow out."

I had no choice, no matter how my family was ranked, I was the last one, so I had to hold the apple in one hand and press down on the place where Xueer took the needle with the other.

My mother was about to say something when she saw the package on the ground and bent down to pack it up. My heart tightened, and I was glad that I threw the envelope and receipt under the bed.

My mother lifted the package to the bed, holding a white envelope in her hand, and I was shocked, why didn't the envelope fall to the bottom of the bed.

I was thinking of an excuse to get the envelope back, but the photo inside the envelope fell neatly on the bed. In the photo, a 5- or 6-year-old boy was making faces.

My mother was also taken aback for a moment, and then realized that she had accidentally knocked down the envelope.

I immediately put the apple on the bed and reached for the photo, but my mother picked up the photo at once, looked at it, then opened it, and looked at the second one.

I can't see it, I can't see it, I can't see it. Although I know that no one will see the photo except me, I still keep thinking about it.

However, at this moment, fate made a big joke for me, and made me go on the road of no return...

When the mother screamed "Ah", the photos fell neatly on the bed again, and the trembling voice of the mother came out after a while: "What kind of photos are these, they are so scary."

"Mom, can you see?" I felt my heart tightened.

The mother said slightly angrily: "You think your mother is blind, what kind of picture is this, tell me."

I took out Wu Jian's business card from my pocket and explained: "A friend who is a policeman came to play last time and forgot to take it away. He kept looking for it, so it was here."

I hurriedly pushed the matter on Wu Jian, and luckily my mother didn't see the third photo, otherwise I wouldn't know how to make it up.

At this time, Xue'er's voice also came over: "Xue'er also celebrated Children's Day." She said and reached for the photo.

"No"

"Sher"

The two yells immediately scared Xueer's hand back. I didn't care why Xueer could see these photos, so I hurriedly put the photos in the envelope and took them in my hand.

I hesitated for a moment and said, "That, this, Mom, I'll send the photo back to him first, he's looking for it."

Mom hurriedly waved: "Go, go, keep these photos at home, bad luck."

It seems that my mother's first impression of Wu Jian is the same as mine, very bad.

I responded and hurried out of the house.
