Rao Xueman's Youth Pain Classic: Hourglass Ⅰ

Chapter 2

On the morning of July 7, there was a slight drizzle.I quietly took off my happy red brooch, held an umbrella with my father, and walked towards the cemetery in Nanshan. ——This is the ninth year since her death.

I stood there without moving, looking at the photo on the stele. She was wearing a military uniform and her hair was braided. She looked very young and beautiful.She left me when I was seven to save a boy who was crossing the road and she was crushed to pieces by a crazy heavy truck.Bai Ran, my hero mother, I hate that she didn't think of me at all when she rushed to death.

One winter many years later, I witnessed a car accident with my own eyes. It was a very famous and beautiful girl here. I watched her body being run over by an agricultural tricycle, and flowers and flowers bloomed on the snow. A red flower, a fresh life just disappeared in an instant.At that moment, I felt powerless, as if I was the one who was hit, and the whole world turned into a vast expanse of whiteness. I squatted in the corner with my schoolbag in my arms, vomiting continuously.

I insisted on believing that this was God's arrangement, and he wanted me to understand that this was how Bai Ran died.After that day, I became a sick child, and vomiting often accompanied me, making me tasteless.I can't resist the nausea in my heart, just like I can't resist that scene flashing back again and again in my mind and dreams.

"Wake up, talk to your mother." Dad said, "She must be very happy that you have passed the exam."

I didn't speak.He didn't push me, just sighed softly, and said, "Let's go."

I followed him and walked down the mountain. The stone steps that had rained were smooth because of the dampness.A girl wearing pink sneakers and holding a pink umbrella is walking up, because the stone ladder is very narrow, she politely stepped aside and let us go first, I saw the blue school badge on her chest, in the sky.It is a place that many people dream of.When the summer is over, I will be one of them too.

And this long summer vacation, I have to find something to do.

When I got home, Aunt Xu called. It was my father who answered the phone. He kept mumbling. After hanging up the phone, he turned to me and said, "Aunt Xu invited you to go to the troupe to rehearse, will you go?"

"What play?" I asked.

"I don't know." Dad said, "She talked for a long time, but I didn't understand."

"Give me money?" I asked.

"You kid!" He looked at me and said, "By the way, the house is out of gas. You can go to the supermarket and buy some. I'm so tired that I don't want to move anymore." After speaking, he yawned and took out 50 yuan from his pocket. Pass me the yuan.

Wait until I get back from shopping at the supermarket.When I opened the door, I found that he had fallen asleep leaning on the sofa. As I expected, the bottle of Erguotou was already empty. I smelled the slight smell of alcohol in the air, and sat gently on the opposite sofa, looking at his face.The large pores on his face opened and closed, and his entire cheeks were flushed with pink, and even the flush spread from the base of his ears to his neck.The wrinkles on the forehead are stretched at the moment, only a few touches, as if gently scratched by the nail cover.When he married Bai Ran, he was a mighty military officer.The two people in the black-and-white wedding photo look as good as they are drawn no matter how you look at it.

When I was in a daze, suddenly the door lock made a "click" sound.I was taken aback.It turned out that I just came in with oil and forgot to close the door, and the half-covered door was blown shut tightly by the wind.

When he woke up, he touched half of his face with his hand, stretched his waist, and said a little embarrassedly: "What time is it? Look, I'm already asleep."

"It's past seven o'clock." I said.

"Is there any wine in the house?"

"No." I said.

"You lied to me."

"In the refrigerator? Or the wine cabinet? Why is the wine cabinet locked?" He stood in front of the "wine cabinet", shaking the lock on it with his hands.

This cabinet was chosen by Bai Ran and him when they got married.The lock above is a pink Minnie Mouse that Bai Ran gave me for my birthday when I was 5 years old, and now the paint is mostly peeled off, rusty and ugly looking.

"Let's eat some noodles at night." I still ignored him.

"I asked you where did the wine go?!" He suddenly yelled.

I looked at him without speaking.

He suddenly looked at me with begging eyes, walked up to me and said, "Wake up, Dad, drink some more. You know Dad can't sleep without drinking, can you tell Dad where the wine is? Don't put Dad's wine Hiding, Dad can't sleep without drinking... Dad can't sleep without drinking..."

I went all out and yelled at him: "Don't drink, I've already thrown away the wine. From now on, don't drink. Your stomach doesn't allow you to drink, and Bai Ran doesn't like you to drink too!"

A slap came over angrily.

He strode into his room and closed the door heavily.

Bai Ran, my mother, my great hero mother, if you see this scene in the spirit of heaven, will you feel sad?Will you cry?Will you regret your heroic choice at that moment?
