Pet King

Guo Dongyue was sitting in a taxi, holding a bird cage like a baby, constantly urging the driver master, anxious to arrive at home immediately and show the red-faced parrot to his mother.

The taxi passed the Embassy Street, and the church was still brightly lit. Many church members who had no time during the day could only come over in the cold wind at night. The teaching at night has a beauty that is quite different from the daytime. If the daytime is solemn and solemn, then the night is mysterious and distant, as if telling the unpredictable meaning of God.

After turning right into the old alley, the surrounding area calmed down and pedestrians and vehicles suddenly became scarce. This old residential area does not know how long it will be before the demolition. Neighboring neighbors are looking forward to the demolition and become the second generation of the demolition. Only he does not think so.

Once you leave this familiar street, familiar alley, familiar neighborhood, familiar residential building, and most importantly, familiar home, your mother's memory will be like a broken kite and you will never find it again.

But the demolition is the general trend, and he will not delay the progress for him alone.

While he was thinking, the driver stepped on the brakes and the taxi slowly stopped at the gate of the community.

"Can you stop here? It's not easy to make a U-turn inside." The driver master discussed with him.

Guo Dongyue asked him to drive downstairs, but when he saw his reluctance, he still forgot, after all, he probably wanted to hurry up and go home to accompany his family.

After paying for the car, Guo Dongyue got out of the bird cage with a bird cage and put his coat on the outside of the bird cage in order to withstand a cold wind at night.

Entering the dark corridor, he coughed, the lights were off, and the voice-activated switch was probably broken again.

Illuminated by the mobile phone, he carefully avoided the debris accumulated in the corridor, came to the door of the second floor of the house, and took the key to open the door.

There were two very different sounds in the room at once, one was the mother-in-law tearing drama in the living room, and the other was the Kunqu opera in the mother's bedroom, and the volume of the tear opera was much greater than that of Kunqu opera.

"Yo, Dongyue came back so late? I thought you weren't coming back today. You don't have to run back so late. There is Aunt Bai here to take care of it. Nothing can happen ..." Aunt Bai was guilty from the sofa Stand up, turn down the volume a little bit, there is a melon seed skin under your feet, step on it and creak.

Guo Dongyue didn't say anything, just nodded at her and went into his mother's bedroom.

Mother turned her back to the door and sat on the edge of the bed. On the table in front of her was an old radio, and the beautiful voice of the famous Kunqu opera chanted loudly from the speaker.

When he pushed in the door, his mother didn't react at all and didn't move. He didn't know if his mother was listening, or he just wanted to cover the sound of the TV drama in the living room with Kunqu.

"Mom, I'm back," he yelled.

The mother still did not respond.

He took off his coat from the bird cage, uncovered the cotton cloth that kept the bird cage warm, and handed the bird cage to his mother.

It was like the snow melted when spring came, and her mother's dull face suddenly moved, followed by a smile on her eyebrow, "Xiao Zi, Pea Yellow, where have you been? I have been looking for you for a long time, a long time ..."

She took the bird cage with both hands and did not look at Guo Dongyue, who was close at hand.

Guo Dongyue was a little bit sad, but his mother was able to laugh and it made him feel very happy.

"Xiao Zi, Pea Yellow, you have to be obedient, don't bark, Dongyue is studying next door, don't bother him." The mother said to them in a low voice.

Xiao Zi tilted her head and looked at her, and then looked at Guo Dongyue, who was on the side, and suddenly said, "Please sit down."

Pea yellow also echoed and said, "Oriole."

Guo Dongyue froze for a moment, still standing still.

"Please sit down."

"dissolute."

Xiao Zi and Pea Yellow kept repeating to him.

The mother's neck moved, twisted stiffly and slowly, and looked up at his face.

Hope is rising again in Guo Dongyue's heart. Although he knows that this is impossible, his mother has forgotten his face, and then she will probably ask who you are, why did you break into my house?

As a result, the mother just smiled mildly, "Xiao Zi and Pea Yellow know you? Look at my memory, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things recently ... Please sit down."

Guo Dongyue sat slowly beside the bed, and Xiao Zi and Pea Huang stopped talking repeatedly.

The mother looked at his face curiously, "Who are you? Why do Xiaozi and Pea Huang know you? I have never taken them out. They should not know anyone else."

Guo Dongyue hesitated again. Was he as futile as ever to explain that he was your son, or was he as open-minded as Zhang Zi'an, and he just made up an identity to cheer her up?

Just then, Xiao Zi said again: "Dongyue! You're grown up!"

Pea yellow echoed: "Grow up, move on!"

As before, Xiao Zi and Pea Huang repeated repeatedly, faithfully implementing the speech strategy Richard taught them.

Repeat over and over again.

Language is the deepest memory, and it will never be forgotten, because it is repeated many times every day.

The mother stared at his face. "Did I meet you somewhere? Do you know Dongyue's child?"

Guo Dongyue nodded, "I know, I have been watching him grow up, do you want to hear what happened when he grew up?"

The mother smiled. "You are so interesting. Dongyue is still a child. How do you know what happened when he grew up?"

"I can tell fortunes, and I have always been accurate, anyway, you are fine now, should you listen?" He said with a confident smile on his face.

Mother shook her head. "I don't believe in fortune telling, unless you have a way to prove it."

Guo Dongyue knew she was never a superstitious person.

"Okay, then I'll tell you something that only you and Guo Dongyue know." He thought about it, "Yes, he will become an architect."

The mother froze, "How do you know that child wants to be a designer?"

"Because I can tell fortunes." He laughed. "Remember the day when you came back from buying things with him and suddenly it rained down. You ran to the church to shelter from the rain. You looked at the church dome and said, really Beautiful, and he said persuasively, what is this? When he grows up, he will build a bigger and more beautiful house for you, and never live in this small and dark broken apartment ... "

"Remember, I remember!" The mother's tone suddenly excited, "but how did you know?"

Guo Dongyue smiled without answering, "I know another thing, one thing that only you know."

"What only I know?" She responded with caution.

Guo Dongyue pointed to the two red-faced parrots in the cage. "I know that after you wait for Guo Dongyue to go to school, you teach them to talk at home, and I know what you are teaching them to say."

"It's impossible!" She shook her head flatly. "I don't believe it!"

Guo Dongyue choked and said, "It was a song" You Ziyin ~ www.readwn.com ~ "which was carried to you on your birthday when Guo Dongyue was very young, and only you remembered it. On. "

The expression on her mother's face was complicated. Suspicion, joy, amusement ... all kinds of emotions were intertwined. She seemed to want to cry, and she seemed to laugh.

Xiao Zi and Pea Huang reacted immediately when they heard the keyword "Yu Ziyin".

"Mother hands line, wandering clothing.

Departure thick seam, meaning fear of delay in return.

Whoever speaks carelessly is reported to San Chunhui. "

They recite in unison, the pronunciation is clearer and more accurate than any sentence, even the pea yellow which is always biteless, obviously after many exercises.

The mother swallowed saliva, grasped the sheets tightly with her fingers, and wrinkled them.

"Why do you know? Why do you know?"

Guo Dongyue stood up, reached out to her, and smiled and said, "I also know another thing Dong Yue has built a big house for you, but he is worried that you will fall in love with the old house and refuse to leave. You think Don't want to see it? "

His mother stared at his hand, and then hesitantly reached out and held it, looking up at him, "I want to be with Dong Yue, wherever he is, I will go."

"Okay, let's go."

Guo Dongyue helped her to get up from the bed, put on her clothes, put on a scarf and hat, and she held up the bird cage with her empty hand.

"Is it far?" She asked.

"Not too far," Guo Dongyue laughed. "There is a pet shop nearby, Dongyue has been running there recently."

"I also like pets, especially birds." She said hopefully.

He pulled his mother out of the bedroom and walked through the living room.

Aunt Bai held the seeds and looked at them suspiciously. "It's so late, where are you going?"

Guo Dongyue said to her seriously, "You're off work."
