C61 (1/2)
Mother didn't answer my question directly. Instead, she said in a harsh tone, ”Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. It would do you no good at all to know it! ”
I was more looking forward to my future life, but my curiosity wasn't as strong. Since his mother had already said so, he no longer asked.
The motorized tricycle kept going. About two hours later. In the city. Mother found a place to stop the Electric Tricycle. I got down from the backseat. My mother asked me if I was hungry. I said a little. They entered a noodle shop and ordered a bowl of noodles.
I noticed a man sitting in the corner of the noodle shop. He was wearing a very fat suit, a hat, and a mask. Wearing sunglasses. It completely covered him up, making him look extremely bloated. The noodles he wanted were served. If you want to eat with your mouth, you have to take off your mask.
However, before he took off his mask, he actually opened an umbrella to block himself. Then, he heard the sound of him swallowing. This strange action caught the attention of the other customers. Someone whispered, ”Could it be that he is a fugitive? He doesn't dare to let others see what he looks like!” Someone immediately scolded him, ”Eating your food is still not enough for your mouth, why do you care so much? If we anger him, I'll stab you with a knife!”
As she ate the noodles in her bowl, her mother turned her head to look at the odd man in the corner from time to time. It was obvious that she was more concerned. I guessed, ”Mother, the one sitting in the corner with an umbrella, is he the one who resurrected you?” Mother stared at me as if she was going to explode, shook her head, and said no.
After a while, I asked, ”So is he going to do the brain surgery on me?”
Mother shook her head again and said no.
I said, ”Then why do you keep peeking at people? What does that have to do with us? ”
”He followed us all the way here,” she whispered to me, after stopping her chopsticks and frowning. She turned to look at the weirdo sitting in the corner. I saw him in the rear-view mirror several times when he was on the road! ”
I said if it was a coincidence, they also came to the city, and they met on the same road as us.
Mother said to be more or less on guard against him, he can catch our Electric Tricycle with only two legs, I'm afraid it's not a serious thing.
After eating, my mother and I left the restaurant. Ye Zichen got into a taxi. The destination was the city. I said why not take the bus? The bus is cheap. Mother said she wasn't short of money. I asked my mother how much it cost to buy a house. She gestured and said six hundred thousand. I said, you still have four hundred thousand left, and that's four hundred thousand!
Mother's face drooped as she gouged out my eyes and said through gritted teeth, ”You ingrate! You can kill me for five hundred thousand! ”Are you ashamed of me?”
I stopped talking and lowered my head.
Mother cried and said, ”I am thinking of everything for you! Even after I revive, I will still run for you! It's not easy for me to manage a good life for you! ”You heartless bastard, you actually killed me while I was asleep!”
The driver turned his head to look at us from time to time with a strange expression on his face and said, ”What are you talking about? Why can't I understand you? Why did he kill you and revive you? ”
The mother wiped the tears off her face and said, ”We are acting. We are doing the same thing!” It's none of your business. Just focus on driving your car! ”
The taxi pulled into a neat little area. It was the first time in my life that I had come to such a place. I think the scenery here is great. There were tall buildings everywhere, green belts, street lamps, and the floor covered with colorful bricks. There were even security guards at the door. He got off the car and walked on the clean road in the district. Looking around, he noticed that the beautiful and clean environment made people feel relaxed and happy.
My mother asked me what this place was like. I said this place was good, and I would be happy if I could live here. Mother said you will live here from now on, and I have bought you a house here.
It made me happy.
Mother said, ”It cost six hundred thousand dollars to buy a house. There's still four hundred thousand left, and I spent more than ten thousand. I have three hundred and eighty thousand left, I've already saved it all for you! When you lose your memory, your new parents will send you to college. Your beautiful new life starts from the university campus! ”
I was even more happy and touched. It was at this moment that I felt deeply what it meant to be a great mother's love. As a mother, she doesn't even mind if you kill her.
My mother bought me an elevator. On the sixteenth floor. Three rooms, two rooms. The interior was already decorated. The glazed ceiling, the mirror-like glazed floor, and the elegant isolation were the first luxury I had ever seen. He couldn't help but sigh. A person could actually live in such a good place. With the toilet in the bathroom, my life has reached a new stage. He no longer needed to see a pile of black feces every day, flies and mosquitoes crawling on the ground in the summer, and the cold winter wind freezing the buttocks.
In the summer and fall, in the countryside, in the dry latrines, it was a disaster to untie your hands in the evening. When the shit came down and your ass was bitten full of mosquitoes, you could scratch it for an hour with your hands in your pants.
At the hottest hour of the afternoon, go to the dry toilet, you will face a rain of flies, the moment you take off your pants you will be crawling all over the bottom of the fly, you are still squatting and shitting, just a break after shedding the shit, and the fly has gone to the bottom of the butt to eat shit, straight into your eyes, itchy. Disgusting.
With a toilet, pooping would be a form of enjoyment. He wasn't afraid of getting sore after squatting for such a long time. Sitting on the toilet seat with the big hole stuck in the seat felt more comfortable than sitting on a bench.
I said, ”Mother, the houses in this city are just not the same! Look at this toilet, it's even cleaner than the kitchens in the countryside! ”
The mother smiled proudly and said, ”If the people of our village see that you have such a house, they will be so angry that their eyes will be sick!”
After a few rounds inside and out, it was rare enough. I asked, ”When can I meet my new parents?”
