Chapter 14 Aunt Lan three

The next morning, I was the last person in my family to wake up. When I woke up, I closed my eyes and thought, should I continue the hunger strike earlier?Yesterday's incident of opium smoking and making cinnabar hands caused me uneasiness, but she reminded me of several things: I remember my mother told others that my father ate flower wine in Japan, family by family, eating a whole bar Street, eat from dark to dawn.Mom stayed at home until dawn, waiting for a drunk husband to come back.I also remember that when we lived in the city, every time we came back from listening to a night show in Chengnan Amusement Park, when the car passed by Hanjiatan in Yanzhi Hutong, Mama Song would always wake me up from my sleep: "Wake up, wake up, miss Look, how bright it is!" I opened my eyes and saw that I was passing through a bright and bright alley. In front of each house, there were small colored picture frames surrounded by small electric lights, on which were written "younger brother", "Daiyu" and "Green Qin" Wait a minute, the nanny told me that Aunt Lan didn't come to Uncle Shi's house, she also lived in this kind of place.They are bad things that scrape men's money and ruin their homes!Because of this, when I saw what happened to my father and Aunt Lan, I felt that my mother was wronged, and we were all wronged.I have greatly discounted my original liking for Aunt Lan, and I hate and fear at the same time.I got up and wanted to go to the front yard. When I passed the wing room, I saw Aunt Lan touching dominoes on the table in front of the wall, playing with her tricks. Hateful.

"Yingzi!" Aunt Lan called me through the window. I had to go into the house. Aunt Lan pushed away the dominoes on the table, stood up and took my hand, and said softly: "Look at your child, your eyes were swollen from crying last night, and you didn't eat any food." She stroked my hair, and I was tense, without smiling at all.She added: "Don't be sad, the day after tomorrow is July 15th, what kind of lotus lantern do you want, Aunt Lan will buy it for you." I shook my head, and she continued to say: "Didn't you say you want something special? Let me help you make a watermelon lantern, good idea? You have to eat up the melon, peel off the skin, and leave a thin layer of flesh, and light a lamp inside, transparent grid, Quite interesting."

Aunt Lan talked too much, so she couldn't help but bring her hometown accent, soft and soft, how nice it sounds!I changed my mind by what she said and nodded. She was also very happy to see that I agreed, and suddenly asked me in gossip: "Who was that four-eyed dog who talked nonsense with your dad yesterday until midnight?" "Four-eyed dog?" I don't understand. Aunt Lan smiled mischievously, she wiped her face down with the palm of her hand, bent her fingers into two circles, and compared her eyes: "Here! That's the man!" "Ah, that's my Uncle De."

At this time, I don't know what kind of mood suddenly made me side with Uncle Dexian. I deliberately called Uncle Dexian more affectionately, and said: "He is very knowledgeable, so he has to wear glasses. He is studying at Peking University. Dad said that he is a top, top, top new young man, and he is amazing!" I said with my thumb, very confident Aunt Lan The meaning of being forced down by a lowly status. "So it's a college student!" Aunt Lan softened, "Then it's the college student that your mother said, who often lives in your house to hide from the wind?"

"yes." "Okay," Aunt Lan nodded and said with a smile, "Your father's heart is pretty good, and everyone of low and high rank has stayed." When I came out of Aunt Lan's room, I couldn't help but walked to the south room where Uncle De lived in the front yard.I have the right to go, because there are my homework, my little cloth man, and my "Children's World" in the desk drawer in the South Room. Uncle Dexian is occupying the desk, so I walked in and opened the desk drawer rudely. , Turning this and that, without purpose.He was so troubled by me that he looked down at him.I said, "Where's my knife? Where's the scissors? Aunt Lan is going to make me a watermelon lantern!" "Who is that Aunt Lan from your family? Why haven't I seen it before?" How happy I was that Aunt Lan caught his attention up.

"Uncle Dexian, do you think that Aunt Lan is pretty?" "I don't know, I didn't see clearly." "She can see you clearly, she said, your eyes are very dignified, and you are very knowledgeable in glasses." I thought of "four-eyed dog", and I couldn't bear to look directly at his face, only to hear him say: "Oh ?Oh?" During lunch, Uncle Dexian talked more, he stopped talking to Dad alone like no one else, and turned his head from time to time to ask Aunt Lan for advice, but Aunt Lan only cared about serving me food, and didn't care about it at all. Watch out for him.

In the afternoon, I slipped into Aunt Lan's room again.I took a chance and said to Aunt Lan: "Mr. De praises you!" "Praise me? Compliment me for what?" "I went to the study in the morning to look for scissors, and he said to me: 'Your Aunt Lan is very good!'" "Yo!" Aunt Lan pursed her lips and smiled, "What else did he say?" "He said he said, he said you look like one of his female classmates." I said nonsense. "That person is from a college, how can I compare!" At the dinner table, Aunt Lan was smiling and chatting with Uncle Dexian.Pa was even happier, saying:

"I just like to help friends in need. I'm not afraid of things that others dare not promise!" He patted his chest as he spoke.Dad drank enough wine, his eyes were red, and he smiled and squinted at Aunt Lan.Mom's face was so ugly, I stood up to pour tea, my heart was cold and scared, as if my mother and I were going to be thrown into the wilderness. I guarded Aunt Lan all day long, not letting her have a chance to be alone with Dad.Uncle Dexian didn't go out much when he lived in our house this time. He stayed in the house all day in a daze, or wandered around in the yard.

On the afternoon of July 15th, Aunt Lan's watermelon lantern was completed.After dinner, before it was dark, I urged Aunt Lan, Mama Song, and Second Sister to light up their own lamps and go out into the street, as well as shop around for other people's lamps.Before leaving, I ran to Uncle Dexian’s house, and I said, “Aunt Lan and I are going to visit the lotus lanterns, will you go? We’ll wait for you under the Jinghua Press building!” After I finished speaking, I ran away . The sidewalks were full of lantern-carrying and lantern-going people, and my watermelon lantern was fresh and eye-catching.But soon we got separated from Mother Song and Second Sister. I took Aunt Lan’s hand and walked westward until I stopped in front of the building of Jinghua Press. Looking forward to Uncle De.I looked around and didn't see it for a while, so I came back to the front of the building in disappointment. Unexpectedly, Uncle De had already arrived, and he was smiling and nodding to Aunt Lan. Aunt Lan nodded and smiled a little bit embarrassed.Uncle Dexian said, "Mi Sihuang is very interested in folk customs."

Aunt Lan seemed surprised, and said unnaturally: "Where, coax the child! You, how do you know my surname is Huang?" I don't think Aunt Lan has ever been called "Miss Huang". I know that female students who have never been married are called "Miss", and Aunt Lan deserves it!I couldn't help curling my lips, feeling really unconvinced, even though I wanted to bring Aunt Lan and Uncle Dexian together. "I heard from Mrs. Lin that Ms. Huang is a very ambitious woman who dares to resist the harsh environment!" Uncle Dexian said so. I don't believe my mother said that, and my mother would never say such a thing if.

That night, I was holding the lamp, and Aunt Lan pressed her hand tightly on my shoulder, as if I was leading a blind man on a night walk.We walked slowly all the way, and I was separated from Uncle Dexian and Aunt Lan. They were talking in a low voice, and Aunt Lan covered her mouth with a small handkerchief when she smiled.The next day I went to Uncle Dexian's house again, and he talked to me about what I had. He asked me: "Do you know what books your Aunt Lan reads?" "She is watching "Second Plum", have you seen it?" Uncle Dexian smiled at me rarely, shook his head, he took out a book from the pile of books and handed it to me, saying: "Let's show it to her." I took it over and saw that it was printed on the paper: "Ibsen's Plays: The Puppet Family". On the third day, I passed them the note once.The three of us went to see a movie on the fourth day. I couldn’t understand it, but Aunt Lan burst into tears when she saw it. Uncle Dexian handed her a handkerchief to wipe it. The movie was "The Two Orphan Girls" starring Li Lijishu ".On the fifth day we went further and arrived at Sanbeizi Garden.When I came back from Sanbeizi Garden, I was so excited that I wished I could fly home, fly to my mother and tell her how I saw Aunt Lan and Uncle Dexian holding hands when I was playing in the distorting mirror in Changguan Building of Sanbeizi Garden. Hold hands, that disgusting look!And I'm going to tell Mom all about it!But when I got home, the door of the bedroom was closed, and Mama Song didn't allow me to go in. She said: "Your mother gave birth to a little sister for you!" It was not until the next day that I sneaked in to see that the little sister was very thin, and her pale hands were like chicken feet, but the midwife, Mrs. Yamada, praised her all the time. She came to bathe her sister, and when she opened the quilt, she revealed her As soon as she saw the chicken feet, she said in a drawn-out Japanese voice, "It's cute! It's cute!" Mom was holding a bowl of fragrant chicken wine to boil the noodles, and smiled at the little flesh in the bathtub.She didn't notice that I was spinning around the small coffee table in front of the bed.I really like my mother giving birth to a child, because I can eat something along with the oil. There is always chicken wine, milk powder, and brown sugar water on the table. I am not bad for anything.But what I'm more excited about today is that I have one thing in my heart, I have to tell her! Mom saw me at a glance: "I haven't seen you for a few days. What are you doing? Where did you go running on such a hot day?" "I've been at home all the time. If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Lan." "What about yesterday?" "Yesterday" I also learned to be sneaky. I squeezed in front of Mom's bed and whispered, "Didn't Aunt Lan tell you? We went to Sanbeizi Garden. Mom, the ticket collector, It seems to be taller, the three of us even took a photo with him, I only went to that person,..." "Three people? Who is the other one?" "Guess." "Left is not your father!" "You guessed wrong." Seeing my mother's bitter face, I wanted to laugh. I imitated Aunt Lan in a calm manner. I wiped down my face with the palm of my hand, and then bent my fingers into two circles to touch my eyes. Than, I said: "Here! This is the man!" Mom frowned and guessed: "Who is this? Could it be? Could it be?" "It's Uncle De." I shook my body triumphantly, and patted my new sister's quilt. "Really?" Mom's bitter look disappeared, and changed to an anxious look: "What's going on? Tell me, tell me from the beginning." I talked about from the four-eyed dog to the distorting mirror, and my mother listened to me in a daze. The little chicken sister in her arms had already fallen asleep, and she was still rocking. "It's all your fault!" Mom seemed to scold me, but she smiled so beautifully. "Mom," I felt very wronged, "You still want Dad to beat me up that day!" "By the way, does your father know about these things?" "Should I tell him?" "That's fine," Mom ignored me, she lowered her head and thought about something, and said to herself with a smile.Then she seemed to remember something, raised her head and said to me: "What did you say you were going to buy that day?" "A pair of hoops, a pair of leather shoes, and now I have to add a whole year's subscription to "Children's World." I said without hesitation.
