Chapter 34 Chapter 15 Secondhand Goods Trading

Not only the grandfather, many residents of Toon Tree Street have forgotten Borun's name. Some people are doomed to be forgotten by history, Baorun is a typical example.I don't know whether to blame their family's indifferent popularity on the street, or Baorun's unclear reputation, but Toon Tree Street is not very enthusiastic about his return.Baorun has gone home, Baorun has gone home, but the news is like a drop of water on the eaves on a rainy day, it just ticks, and nothing can be heard after it falls. Only Liu Sheng was polite and insisted on taking the wind for Baorun.He brought Chun Geng and Ah Liu to ask for Bao Run's opinion, what kind of excitement do he like?Do you invite a group of friends to set up a banquet, or go to the sauna room to take a sauna, or go to the karaoke box to sing karaoke?Baorun refused to choose.No, no, just lend me a trolley case.He said, I will go to the provincial capital to see my mother tomorrow, maybe I won’t come back, my uncle has become a high official, a department-level cadre, and I heard that he is very powerful. If he arranges a good job for me, I will be in the provincial capital in the future. mixed up.

Baorun took the train to visit relatives in the provincial capital, went there for a few days, and came back alone. I heard that his aunt's family treated him coldly.He also had a bad reputation in the circle of relatives and friends. My aunt received this nephew with a hint of guard, but my uncle simply didn't bother to say a word to him.Baorun ate his first dinner at his aunt's house. Halfway through the meal, his aunt, uncle and cousin left with excuses, and he was the only one left at the dinner table. He got angry and put half a bowl of rice on the table. The family walked away.After falling out with his aunt's family, he lowered the goal of this trip and was determined to bring his mother home.However, the mother is not the mother he imagined.Su Baozhen found a wife in the provincial capital, who treated her very well, and the children there gradually accepted her.Her twilight life once left suspense, and this suspense was ruthlessly revealed after her son was released from prison. Between his wife and son, between a foreign land and his hometown, Su Baozhen gave up her son and Xiangchun Street.The mother's decision was beyond the son's expectations. Baorun asked his mother, if you don't go back, how will I live alone?Su Baozhen asked him back, he is almost thirty, do you still rely on me?Let me go home to serve you?He couldn't find a legitimate reason to persuade his mother, and he refused to say that he would be a filial son from now on, and he was ashamed to tell a son how he missed his mother. The way he persuaded his mother was closer to some kind of curse. Know?He said, what if you develop dementia in the future?What if you were paralyzed?What if you have cancer?Do you want me to serve you?Su Baozhen was so angry that she spit on the ground three times. She said, if something happens to me and Lao Zhang takes care of me, as long as you take care of your grandfather and take care of yourself, I will be thankful.He still didn't give up, and said to his mother, I think you have already suffered from Alzheimer's disease, have you forgotten that I am your son?Is my son not as good as a bad old man?I think that bad old man will not be able to play for a few days. If the old man dies one day, what should you do? Do you want to go home?Su Baozhen was cornered and slapped Baorun across the face. You can curse me, but Lao Zhang didn't offend you, so don't curse him!To tell you the truth, Baorun, I have let go of the house on Toon Street, and it will belong to you from now on. You can dismantle my room and throw away my things. I can’t rely on Lao Zhang and I won’t rely on you , I would rather die in a nursing home than go back to Toon Street.

This time, he saw clearly that his future was a remaining future, and in the remaining future, there would be no more mothers.The trip to visit relatives came to an abrupt end, and he took advantage of the darkness to sneak home silently and stay behind closed doors.People only saw the lights in the attic, not his figure.When Liu Sheng heard that Baorun was back, he went to knock on the door, but he couldn't open it.He was a bit suspicious, so he asked Mrs. Ma in the pharmacy next door if she had heard Baorun's movement. Mrs. Ma said that he was like a ghost. There was a noise in the attic in the morning, but no movement in the afternoon.Liu Sheng went to knock on the door, after a few hits, the door opened, and Baorun appeared behind the door, smelling of alcohol, dragging a long hemp rope in his hand, what door did you hit?He said to Liu Sheng, has anyone died in your family?

Liu Sheng said, no one died in our family, I will come to see you to see if you are still alive. There are still a few breaths, and I can't die.Borun slammed the door shut.Two seconds later, the door opened again. Baorun blocked the door, holding a piece of rope in his hand, and squinted at Liu Sheng.Liu Sheng said, are you bored playing with rope at home?What's the point, I'll take you out to relax?Bao Run was silent for a while, then shook the rope in his hand, and the rope wrapped around his shoulders tamely, like a snake.I don't need to relax, I want to review my homework.Baorun said, I haven't played with rope for a long time. I have already remembered eleven of the eighteen kinds of knots. You can come in if you want. Let me try it on you and try the French knot.Liu Sheng waved his hand and said, thank you for being so polite to me, I will not come in, you should try that legal knot on yourself.

A few days later, Baorun showed signs of welcoming a new life, and started cleaning at home.The old house has been dusty for too long, the cupboard in the kitchen is full of cockroaches, the chest of drawers is corroded by moisture, the door cannot be closed, the drawer cannot be pulled out, the tenon of the back chair is broken, and the large tub for bathing leaks, all of which are lifted by him one by one. Come out and put it on sale at the door.At first, the price was very high, so no one cared about it. Later, the price was lowered every other day, but the neighbors still didn’t appreciate it. In the end, it was too cheap. A peddler who collected rags passed by and moved all the old furniture to him for 50 yuan. cart.Mrs. Ma next door walked out of the store, just in time for the last deal. She heard Bao Run ask the peddler, there is another big bed, do you want it for you at a lower price?The peddler checked the space of the cart and said, if it is cheap, is the bed made of solid wood?Baorun said, it's my parents' old bed, of course it's made of solid wood, I'll give you 50 yuan, I'll tear it down if you want, and I'll get it right away!

Mrs. Ma was about to go up to stop her, but her son and daughter-in-law dragged her back to the pharmacy, where she was forced to watch TV series.Through the glass of the door, you can hear the hammering of Baorun next door.Bang.Bang.Bang.Borun is knocking.Baorun is dismantling the big bed of his parents.Bang.Bang.With a bang, when the heavy bed frame fell down, Mrs. Ma shuddered, clutching her chest and saying, what a crime.The family watched the peddler's cart go away with a full load. This second-hand goods transaction made people dumbfounded.From the perspective of the harmonious and happy Ma family, a murder of father and mother took place next door, and even the air was bloody.Mrs. Ma gritted her teeth and commented that Su Baozhen's life is really hard. If she raises this evil son, she might as well raise a dog to protect her family.The daughter-in-law's feelings are very simple. She said that Baorun was quite scary.Only Xiao Ma's attitude was a little more open. He enlightened his mother and wife, don't scold Baorun like that. They are just old things, and they will be sold sooner or later. If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come.

Not long after, Baorun came.Bao Run pushed open the door of the pharmacy with a pottery urn in his arms, and a chilling air poured into the shop.The Ma family stood up in panic, as if welcoming a murderer to visit.Mrs. Ma asked him what was in the pottery urn, Bao Run said, my father's ashes were placed under my mother's bed.Mrs. Ma screamed, what are you doing with the urn in my store?Want to sell?I will not buy your father's ashes!Paul Run said, do you have scales in your store?I want to borrow it and weigh it. My dad still weighs.Mrs. Ma almost cried because of his anger, and said, "There is no scale, and if there is a scale, I will not weigh your ashes!"Baorun looked down at the pottery urn, weighed it, it was too light, I just couldn't believe it, my father was such a big man, how could there be so little left after death?Less than a kilogram, right?

Mrs. Ma was jealous of the urn, she unceremoniously expelled Baorun, and reprimanded him while pushing him out. I have never seen such an unfilial son like you. You treat your father's ashes so slowly, his soul will not ascend to the sky. , Didn't your mother tell you where your father's grave is?Hurry up, hurry up to the burial.Baorun was pushed away by Mrs. Ma, reluctantly turned around and said, my mother said it was the Guangming Cemetery, do you know where the Guangming Cemetery is?Mrs. Ma waved her hand and said, don't ask me, our family doesn't deal with cemeteries, go find Liu Sheng, who often drives people to visit graves.
