Chapter 24 Text 23

Sloppy ran away from home.The reason is very simple. Ma Hu told Yang Xin that he wanted to live with Ma Wen at his aunt's house. Yang Xin immediately vetoed: "No." "why?" "There's no reason. That's my family!" "Why are other families better than ours?" "Then there are still many people who are worse than ours." "Why not compare yourself with the good and compare yourself with the bad?" Yang Xin was speechless for a while, and said, "How do you talk to your mother? Say what you say!" Sloppy was obviously not convinced, and said, "I won't tell you, I'll tell Dad!"

Yang Xin said two words: "How dare you!" After speaking, he went to the kitchen to cook.When the meal is ready, I can't find it sloppy. Marvin's cell phone rang again.Marvin was driving, he glanced at it, but didn't answer. Li Qin smiled: "Why didn't you answer?" She guessed that it might be Yang Xin's call. Marvin let the phone stop ringing, and regretted forgetting to put the phone on vibrate.Li Qin said, "Is it Yang Xin calling?" Marvin was silent.Li Qin was very satisfied with Ma Wen's attitude, and said, "I don't care that much. You should take it."

"It has nothing to do with you." Marvin said and turned off the phone directly.He knew it was cruel to do so, but he thought he had to take care of it.Besides, Yang Xin should also learn to be responsible for himself. Whenever he has something to do, he will come to him. It has become a habit, and it is not good for anyone. Li Qin said: "Are you afraid that I will tell Li Yi?" Ma Wen shook his head and said to Li Qin, "Where shall we go for dinner? I'll treat you." Yang Xin's face was full of depression, anxiety, fear, and the end of the world.She said to Li Yi: "Marvin's phone was still connected just now, but now it's turned off."

Li Yi said: "Sloppy may be at Ma Wen's place. Otherwise, why didn't Ma Wen answer our calls." Yang Xin: "Ma Wen won't be so ignorant. If Ma Hu is at his place, he should tell me. I'm not afraid of Ma Fu. I'm afraid that he will go to your sister's house in case he gets lost... It's getting dark today. Your sister's house is so remote... Sloppy doesn't have any money with him..." Li Yi listened to Yang Xin's nagging, upset, he was silent for a moment, and said, "I'll call my sister and ask." This time, Li Yi used his mobile phone to call Li Qin.

Marvin can't wait to smoke himself!He drove Li Qin all the way, usually 40 minutes by car, now it takes 15 minutes.Ma Wen drove around Li Qin's house twice, but he didn't see sloppy, so he asked the security guard, who shook his head. Ma Wen wanted to enter the house to have a look, Li Qin said: "No need, sloppy and no key, even if he comes, he can't get in..." Marvin was clearly confused.Li Qin said, "Don't worry..." Marvin interrupted roughly: "Can I not be in a hurry?" Li Qin shut up.Ma Wen turned the car around and wanted to continue looking. Seeing Li Qin sitting in the car, he also realized that his attitude was rough just now, so he said to Li Qin, "Go back first."

Li Qin: "What am I going to do?" Marvin couldn't help getting angry again: "What are you doing here?" Li Qin was startled, because Ma Wen had never been so rude to her before, she stared blankly at Ma Wen, and Ma Wen came back to himself, he shook Li Qin's hand as an apology to Li Qin.Li Qin also patted the back of Ma Wen's hand to express his understanding. Li Yi went to almost all the homes of his sloppy classmates.Finally, at the entrance of an Internet cafe, Li Yi suddenly saw Sloppy's mountain bike, which he bought for Sloppy, or in other words, Sloppy successfully obtained it.Ma Hu's birthday, Yang Xin asked Ma Hu what gift he wanted, Ma Hu said mountain bike, and then asked "Uncle Li Yi" to take it to buy by name.Yang Xin looked embarrassed, asked why, and said bluntly, because uncle bought better things than you.

That mountain bike cost more than 1,000, which is the best and most expensive.Li Yi really felt distressed at the time, but he still bought it. Li Yi walked into the Internet cafe and saw Sloppy playing games.Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.He took out his mobile phone and called Yang Xin.When Yang Xin heard that he found it carelessly, his voice trembled: "Where did you find it?" When Yang Xin called, Ma Wen used the hands-free button directly because he was driving. This was for safety, and the second was because he was anxious to find his son. Yang Xin said: "I found it carelessly!"

Marvin was so excited that he didn't know why, and he couldn't drive the car all of a sudden.He threw himself on the steering wheel, and Yang Xin shouted anxiously: "Hey, hello... Ma Wen, what's the matter with you?" Marvin picked up the phone and said, "Where is Sloppy? I need to talk to him. This kid gave me a heart attack." Yang Xin burst into tears, and while wiping her tears with her hands, she said to Ma Wen on the phone: "Li Yi is with him. He hasn't arrived home yet." Weeping while talking, saying what she said, No matter right or wrong, Ma Hu doesn't listen to a word, she says one, and Ma Hu has ten sentences waiting there. I knew that Ma Hu must look down on her in his heart. Her mother is really a failure. She doesn't even have a decent job. She cooks at home and does housework all day, which makes him feel ashamed...

Ma Wen comforted Yang Xin and said, "Don't think so. Boys are like this, and they all have such a rebellious period. When I was sloppy at this age, I was also like this. I looked down on my parents and thought they were stupid... From now on Well, you are always at home alone, and after a long time, people become paranoid. Sloppy is still a child, not sensible, don't care what he said..." Ma Wen persuaded Yang Xin, Li Qin was Listening and watching silently, Ma Wen was really embarrassed later, so he said to Yang Xin: "Ma Hu will be home in a while, don't ask anything, don't say anything, just pretend it's nothing. After a few days, I'll find time to talk to Ma Hu." Yang Xin seemed to be going on forever, Ma Wen looked at Li Qin, and said to Yang Xin: "My mobile phone is almost out of battery. Ah, let's do this first, you are fine, Don't think too much, there's nothing wrong. I hung up, my phone is really dead."

Yang Xin didn't realize the complicated situation on Ma Wen's side at all, and said wishfully, "Don't you have a car phone in your car?" Ma Wen was at a loss for words for a moment, he peeked at Li Qin.Li Qin pretended to be relaxed and didn't care. She looked away, turned on the lights in the car, and admired her newly done nails in the afternoon.She raised her hand up to the light, looking over and over again. Yang Xin immediately realized that Li Qin was beside Ma Wen.Yang Xin asked Ma Wen in a strange tone: "Are you with Li Qin now?" Ma Wen looked at Li Qin beside him, and simply said "yes".

Yang Xin hung up the phone with a "snap".A look of disappointment.But then tears fell in streams. Ma Wen's heart was cut like a knife.He knew Yang Xin must be crying.If there is no Li Qin, he can accompany Yang Xin and talk to her a few more words.But now, Li Qin was sitting beside him. Although he didn't say anything, he was a living person!Ma Wen was about to explain to Li Qin, but Li Qin asked first, "Are my nails pretty?" As he spoke, he raised his hands and turned his palms and backs to show Ma Wen. Ma Wen knew that Li Qin did not want him to explain on purpose, and he was also afraid of embarrassing himself. He couldn't help being grateful for Li Qin's understanding, and nodded and said tenderly: "It looks good." Li Qin lightly scratched the back of Ma Wen's hand with his nails, and said, "Let's go home." Ma Wen still wanted to explain, but Li Qin's nails scratched the back of Ma Wen's hand again.Marvin started the motor and turned around to go to Li Qin's house. Li Qin leaned her head on Marvin's shoulder and said, "I'm tired." Ma Wen had a good impression of Li Qin in his heart, he held the steering wheel with one hand, and slowly hugged Li Qin with the other. Yang Xin was alone in the living room, extremely disappointed.She got up, slowly pushed open the door of Marvin's room, and tidied up the mess in Marvin's room that had been messed up because of the fight between Li Li and Sloppy.Half of the books on the shelf fell to the ground. Yang Xin squatted on the ground, picked them up one by one, and put them back on the shelf.In one of the books, there was a photo of himself and Marvin, which had been torn down the middle, but re-glued.Yang Xin watched, watched, tears welled up in her eyes... After Li Yi found Sloppy, neither father nor father spoke.Sloppy riding on a mountain bike, riding very slowly, kept falling off, Li Yi walked beside him, helping him up from time to time. There is a mutton skewer on the side of the road.Also sells beer.Li Yi asked, "Are you hungry?" Li Yi and Ma Hu sat on the curb with their mountain bikes on the side.Li Yi was drinking beer, and Ma Hu wanted to drink it. Li Yi hesitated for a moment, but Ma Hu immediately looked disdainful. Li Yi thought for a while, handed the bottle to Ma Hu, and said, "Drink less." Ma Hu took a sip, looked at Li Yi, saw Li Yi hesitated to speak, and Ma Hu simply said: "Uncle Li, I didn't run away from home, and I didn't want to run away from home. I just think the house is messy and annoying." Li Yi gave Sloppy a guilty look, and said, "Uncle, I apologize to you." Sloppy grinned grinningly and said, "I don't think you are annoying. I hate my mother!" Li Yi was taken aback and asked, "Why?" Ma Hu asked Li Yi back: "Don't you think so?" Li Yi pondered for a moment, and said: "Your mother was originally a very cheerful and optimistic person, but now is a relatively low period in her life, so she is in a bad mood, loses her temper easily, and lacks patience. At this time, she especially needs the understanding of her family. .” Ma Hu said: "She is in a bad mood, she asked for it! I am also in a bad mood. I go to school every day, am I in a good mood? She just doesn't work hard, and she doesn't think about making progress all day long. It's just her own shit. , I'm so bored!" Li Yi looked at sloppy, sloppy is childish speech. Li Yi patiently persuaded Ma Hu: "You can't say that about your mother. In fact, your mother loves you very much..." Sloppy: "I would rather she loves something else. Whatever she loves, she will be unlucky. She loved the goldfish, fed them all day long, but the goldfish died; she loved flowers, watered them all the time, and the flowers died too." .Whatever she loves will end badly.” Li Yi said to Sloppy: "You can't say that. Everything has a lifespan. Your mother doesn't love them, and flowers will wither and fish will die, so you still have to love. Otherwise, what's the point of living longer?" Sloppy seems to understand but not understand. The moonlight is bright and clear.Yang Xin was alone in the room.Now she is here alone most of the time.She tidied up Marvin's room, down to the tea cups.Open the window, ventilate the room, find a small picture frame, and put the photo of the two of them in the book in the frame, looking at it, it is very sad, and things are different.She put the mirror frame by the bed.The curtains were gently blown to and fro by the wind.Hearing movement at the door outside, Yang Xin immediately returned to the present, quickly stuffed the frame of the mirror under the bed, and straightened up.As soon as he straightened up, Li Yi opened the door and came in. Yang Xin pretended to be nonchalant. Li Yi felt that there was something wrong, and he was suspicious. He rolled his eyes around, and Yang Xin said, "I cleaned it up." "He agreed. Sloppy followed behind Li Yi, he peeked at Yang Xin, but Yang Xin didn't say anything.Li Yi patted Sloppy, and Sloppy whispered to Yang Xin: "Mom, don't be angry. Uncle is not angry anymore." Yang Xin was so angry that she couldn't laugh or cry.
