Chapter 6:

Instead of going to the cheap and dangerous small hotel in the alley, this time I found a relatively good hotel to stay temporarily.
I ran outside the whole day on the first day, and asked about work while I was looking for a house. In fact, after working for three years, I didn't save any money. Firstly, my salary was not high, and secondly, I had to spend a lot of rent and food every month. People who did n’t know when I was with Yi Tian used to laugh at how Yi Tian had wrapped such an ugly and earthy man, so Yi Tian also threw a card to me so that I do n’t want to shame him. I don't know how much money there is, just returned the card intact, although only in exchange for Yi Tian's taunting sentence "Don't reveal the way I defiled your divine love."
The next day a few price and location houses were determined, and a call was made to determine the viewing time. I ran several companies and asked again, but nothing gained. In the evening, we went back to the hotel exhaustedly and ate and went to bed early. But she couldn't sleep over and over again. For a while, she was like a dumb woman peeling an egg, and for a while, her eyes brightly wrapped her bag in front of me.
Sit up suddenly from the bed, throw off the quilt angrily, and if you are worried, go and look at it. Just look at her from a distance, and I will come back to make sure she is fine. After making up my mind to get dressed a couple of times, I opened the door and ran out.
At the residence of Li Yan and the dumb woman, both households closed the doors and windows tightly, the room was dark and the lights were not on. I was a little surprised, and supposedly they must be home at this time, and it's impossible to rest now.
I walked in and knocked on the door and window. After waiting for a while, no one came. Sure enough, no one was in either house. I walked back strangely, thinking about where people were going, but I almost bumped into the person just after the corner in front of me, and I was too late to sigh, and a shocked cry came in front: "Little Mu!"
I looked up, and then I saw that Li Yan was in front of me.
"You haven't done anything ..."
"Xiao Mu, Axiu is gone! But I'm anxious!" I took a second to reflect on what Li Yan said.
"What's missing! What's going on!"
"I persuaded her for a long time after you left that day, and watched her return to the house after she stopped crying. But I never saw her out the next day. No one answered when I knocked on the door. I had the key to her house. I opened the door and found out that there was no one in the room. It took me two days to find it, but I still couldn't find it. "Li Yan's face was exhausted and anxious.
"Li Yan, you have to go back to rest quickly, I'll look for it now." After speaking, he ran out without waiting for Li Yan to answer.
I don't know where she used to go, so she just ran around the street like a headless fly. The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the pedestrians on the road from hustle and bustle to sporadic, I was anxious in my heart. Where would she go this late? She is a dumb and stupid. If something happened, she could not even call for help I dare not think deep.
I didn't know for a few hours after I found it, my feet started to ache, and I still had no clue. Standing in front of a hotel, panting and resting, something flashed in my head, and I immediately ran back. At the entrance of the Xingyue Hotel, I continued to run down the alley to the place where the alley was piled up garbage, and sure enough I saw a person sitting by the wall.
I breathed out against the wall with a big mouthful of spit, and my throat was sour and sweet for a long time running fast. The man heard his voice raise his head and looked at me, and then his eyes flickered, revealing some incredible joy inside.
She stood up, took a step forward but stopped, and looked at me hesitantly.
Breathing gradually stabilized, I walked towards her, reached out and held her, and walked back without a word.
It was already late at night, and there was no starlight in the night sky. There were no personal figures around, only the shabby signs of a few hotels glowed slightly.
"Why did you come here?" I kept walking forward and knew that no answer would come from behind.
...
"It was because I was picked up there that I thought I would still be there"
...
"I'm an orphan. No parents and no loved ones have always been alone."
With that said, I stopped suddenly.
"So ..." I spoke again and found that my voice was shaking. I closed my eyes and calmed my emotions.
"So if you don't mind, if you don't think it's okay .... Even if you regard me as your son's stand-in, I will take care and care of him ...
...
"I mean, are you willing and willing to be ..." I was trembling all over, and I took a deep breath before swallowing the choke in my throat and finished the last words.
"Become my mother"
Quiet.
Not even the sound of wind blowing.
I lowered my head, knowing in fact that she didn't understand what I was talking about, but her hands were still shaking.
There was a rough touch on my face, and the tears that fell were gently wiped off. When I raised my head, the dumb woman looked at me with a smile, her eyes bent into two crescents.
I looked at her silently, letting the warm smile at the corners of her mouth wipe away the restlessness in my heart. I laughed for a long time, holding her back slowly.
"Your son must not be as tall as me ... so you don't suffer at all ..."
"So don't run away next time ... Li Yan is so old and looking for you everywhere ..."
...
"Mom, let's go home."
When I took my mother back home, Li Yan turned around for a while, and then checked and mumbled. After hearing where I found her, I sighed in silence.
"Li Yan, I will treat her as my mother-in-law to filial piety. I will take care of her." Li Yan was soaking up the towel and wanted to wipe her face, and when he heard that, he raised his head and looked at me.
"Your home ..."
"I'm an orphan." I knew what Li Yan wanted to ask and interrupted her.
Some tears drew from the corners of Li Yan's eyes, and he nodded desperately at me: "Oh! In the future ... the two are the same family, better off ... Axiu, though, she ... she is fine ..." Li Yan's voice choked and was incoherent. .
I stepped forward and took the towel in Li's hand, and bent down to wipe my face carefully.
"Well. She's fine."
While she was asleep, I ran to the hotel all night and left the room. Now that I had decided to live with her as a mother and son, I would no longer go outside to find a house. Otherwise, I will pick her up and no one will look at her when I go out to find something to do. Anyway, there is Li Ye who can help take care of it.
The most urgent thing is to find a job and save the money slowly, and then I want to decorate her room well, so as not to let her live in such a poor environment. I just ran for a few days and there was still no news. Apparently, there were several companies that showed me the meaning of admission, but I didn't know why it was gone in the end.
I don't know if Yi Tian embarrassed me in the middle, but I haven't interacted with him for a long time. I'm not too convinced that he will still spend these energy on me. However, if he had confessed it before and forgot me later, it would not be impossible for others to dare not use me.
Seeing that day by day, the money can only go out, I was anxious, and had to change my direction to find some other work. It happened that there was a large supermarket nearby to recruit some tallymen, so I went. It's just that the role of a male tally in the supermarket is actually to move the goods, especially the Japanese distribution team I am in, a group of more than a dozen employees, only three men, the daily products include frozen fast food, loose grains and loose candy The goods in the warehouse were put on and off the shelves. Without the help of a machine, one day after the exhaustion, people were tired and had a backache.
The one thing that bothers me the most these days is how can my mother understand that I have the money to support her, and she no longer has to go outside to pick up those waste cardboard plastic bottles. Every time she looked out her sackcloth pockets and the small iron hooks that turned the trash to throw them away, she looked panicked and took my hand and shook her head desperately.
Even if she found out a lot of money from the bag to show her that I had enough money, she didn't understand, but went to the yellow cloth bag to give me the same treasure. I talked to Li Yan about this issue. Li Yan only smiled and let me follow her. For so many years, she lived on the money. Maybe now in her consciousness, she still depends on the money to support me. .
I felt helpless and couldn't help it.
