Chapter 9 Eight

The mother never thought that Daxiu would come back suddenly. Since Daxiu got married, she never came back. My mother had been to Ulap once, and that was also a few years ago.Daxiu's sudden appearance surprised her mother.She shook her lips, and it took her a long time to call out: Daxiu—and then tears flowed down her face.Since knowing the real situation of Daxiu, my mother has never been worried about Daxiu and sighed.Sometimes in her dreams, she would cry because of Daxiu's miserable situation. Mother seemed very excited, which was expected, but Daxiu was very calm, vicissitudes of life were written on her face, it was difficult for Daxiu to cry under normal circumstances.Daxiu brought back a bag with her. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter clothes were all in that bag. When Daxiu emptied out these clothes, her mother asked in surprise: You are not going back to Inner Mongolia? Daxiu grows He took a deep breath, and then let out another breath, and said: Don't go.

Daxiu's return brings Dalin, Xiaoxiu, and Xiaolin together, and they chatter about Daxiu's actions.Dalin’s opinion is that Daxiu’s approach is very unrealistic. Daxiu is already married to Inner Mongolia, so she should be from Inner Mongolia. If she has no registered permanent residence, no job, and no house, what will she do when she comes back? , so worry-free and clean. Xiaoxiu's point of view is very different from Dalin's. She is now the wife of the chief of the section, and her husband became the chief of the section half a year ago. Therefore, Xiaoxiu's way of speaking has changed significantly from before. It is very official and also She looks very avant-garde, and any difficulty is a trivial matter in her eyes. She is now the mother of the child. While patting the child in her arms, she said knowledgeably: "Sister, it's right for you to come back." Well, what is there to miss in that old Inner Mongolia, even if you beg for food, you can't go back to that place.People can't be suffocated by urine, sister, don't be afraid, I will help you find a way when the time comes.

Xiao Lin did not express his opinion. He is still a technical secondary school student, and the knowledge in books is far from the level where he can express his understanding of life. Some of them are just lonely thoughts, so Xiao Lin only has thought about it. Mother was not worried about Daxiu's survival. In fact, she had thought about it a long time ago. At worst, Daxiu would go pick up junk with her and support herself. She was most worried about her son-in-law and two children in Inner Mongolia, so her mother took her own Concerns were raised. Daxiu sighed, this was the first time she sighed after entering the house, then gritted her teeth and said: Let's take a step and see, anyway, I won't go back to Inner Mongolia.

Seeing that Daxiu had made up her mind, mother couldn't say anything more, she could only sigh secretly for Daxiu in her heart.So Daxiu stayed temporarily, and Xiaolin usually lived on campus, and only came back to live for one night on weekends.The mother also went to pick up the trash as usual, she had to support Xiaolin to go to school and herself.Before Xiaolin took the exam, Xiaoxiu once vowed: If Xiaolin can be admitted to university, I will cover his tuition.As a result, Xiao Lin was only admitted to a technical secondary school. Before going to school, Xiao Xiu only bought a suit of clothes for Xiao Lin, and did not mention the tuition fee.Mother thought, don't mention it if you don't mention it. The married girl and the water splashed out belong to other people.It's hard to say how to use money to support my younger brother.Mother can't let these things affect Xiaoxiu's happy life.Among the four children, Xiaoxiu was the one the mother didn't have to worry about the least. She married into a cadre family, and her son-in-law became the section chief.The starting point of Dalin's life is not high, and he hasn't gone up these years. The family of three is still crowded in that small room, and the salaries of the two barely cover the expenses of the family.

Daxiu lived for a few days, she didn't follow her mother's suggestion to pick up the trash with her, but ran outside for a few days, finally one night, she lay on the kang and said to her mother: Mom, I have to do it. a clothing stand. Her thoughts startled her mother. Anyone who can set up a stall is a businessman in her mother's eyes. Daxiu came back from Inner Mongolia, and the dust all over her body has not been washed. She is going to be a businessman at once. Mother step.When she got up, she clearly saw that Daxiu said this with her eyes open, so she was sure that Daxiu was not talking in sleep.My mother pondered for a while, and thought of all the difficulties that should be thought of, so she mentioned them one by one, such as funds, booths, licenses and so on.

Daxiu said sternly: Mom, don't worry, I will find a way.It turns out that Daxiu went to Inner Mongolia to build soldiers together A female classmate from the group reunited, and that female classmate has now set up a stall and is also selling clothes, and the business is doing well.After some research, Daxiu finally made up her mind to set up a clothing stall.Daxiu's idea was enthusiastically approved by Xiaoxiu, and she swore again: Sister, I will handle the license issue on my shoulders.She said this with confidence. Her husband was the section chief in the district, and he was in charge of the self-employed.Xiaoxiu did what she said, and it didn’t take long for the license to be completed. Daxiu bought a batch of clothes from her classmates, of course not in cash. The classmate said generously: When will you sell out, when will you give me the money? .

This opened a new page in Daxiu's life.From then on, she went out early and returned late, wearing stars and moons, and when she came back at night, sometimes her mother would fall asleep, and her mother always wanted to ask about Daxiu's situation, but before she could say a few words, Daxiu fell asleep with her head tilted.In the morning, when her mother opened her eyes, Daxiu's bed was already empty.Daxiu was furious, and her mother was in pain.Mother knows what life is, and life should be like this, but when it's the children's turn to bear it, she can't bear it anymore. She wants to see Daxiu's day's work with her own eyes, otherwise her heart will always hang in suspense.

She has never been to Daxiu's clothing stall since it opened, it's not that she doesn't want to go, it's that she can't intervene and can't help.That day, she searched and found Daxiu's clothing stall. It was a very inconspicuous clothing stall on a clothing street. Daxiu was busy stocking goods. In the cold weather, Daxiu was already busy. sweat.Mother called Daxiu several times in a row, only then did Daxiu hear her, and when she saw it was her mother, she said, "Mom, why are you here? Daxiu really didn't even have time to talk. Every customer who passed by her stall, she would Find a way to make them stop and take a serious look at the clothes on her booth. If a customer stops and even tries on the clothes, Daxiu looks like he has seen a savior. , often after a lot of tossing, the guests still shook their heads and left.Daxiu tosses and tosses ten times and eight times, but often it may not be able to make a deal.Occasionally, when someone buys a piece of clothing, Daxiu will start negotiating the price with others, which always frightens her mother. Often Daxiu compromises at the end. She sold a piece of clothing very cheaply, and then sent it away with a smile on her face. Only then did Daxiu let out a long sigh of relief.The mother also let out a long breath, and taking advantage of the lack of people in front of the stall, Daxiu said to her mother: "Mom, please help me take a look."After speaking, he ran to the toilet, and after a while, he ran back again, out of breath, for fear of delaying a business.

At noon, Daxiu ate a boxed lunch, the kind delivered to the stall. Daxiu’s meal was not smooth, and was always interrupted by customers who came to see the clothes. Although Daxiu devoured that meal, she still After eating on and off for dozens of minutes, the food was finally frozen.Seeing Daxiu like this, the mother couldn't stand it anymore, turned her back, wiped her tears, and walked home with great distress. In the evening, for the first time, my mother bought a catty of pork ribs and stewed them in a pot. In the middle of the night, my mother sat on the kang and waited for Daxiu until Daxiu came back. In front of Daxiu, Daxiu looked at her mother in puzzlement. Before her mother could speak, tears flowed down her face. Daxiu fell into her mother's arms when she was touched by the scene.

Difficult days are also human beings. Daxiu gritted his teeth and survived the most difficult period of starting a business. Later, Daxiu hired a helper and was responsible for the delivery of goods. Sometimes Daxiu would go to Guangzhou and Wenzhou with others When the goods are loaded, it takes several days to go.Finally, Daxiu had some savings, so she rented a room outside, firstly to store goods, and sometimes lived there herself. One day, Daxiu suddenly said to her mother: Mom, I want to take the two children over.The mother immediately thought of the two children far away in Inner Mongolia. She had seen the life of the daughter, but she couldn't see the life of the two grandchildren. She could only remember the life of the two children in the abstract. The case of milk tea.In fact, she had long wanted Daxiu to take over the two children, but considering Daxiu's current difficulties, she kept silent.Daxiu proposed it, and of course she agreed a hundred times.

Daxiu left in a hurry for a few days, and finally picked up the two children. When the two half-sized children appeared in front of her, she couldn't stand it anymore. Although the two grandchildren were wearing the clothes that Daxiu made for them Clothes, but they still couldn't hide their suffering hearts. The two grandsons looked at everything in front of them timidly, and they called grandma very bluntly.The two scrawny children broke Shuzhen's heart. The two children returned to Daxiu's side, and only then did the mother know that Daxiu was divorced. When Daxiu returned to the city, he desperately put his hope of survival on the last fight.Daxiu didn't tell her mother about the divorce at the beginning, because she was worried that her mother would not be able to bear it.
