Confessions of a Salesman

Yaoyang and I were both stunned, wondering what she meant by this?
My mother continued: "You are all busy people, and many people outside are counting on you for their lives! I know you are worried about me, but you really don't have to worry. I have already figured it out. I miss your dad, but I also miss you." This world doesn’t want to leave you so soon! Just relax and go about your own business! It’ll be fine if your dad has me here with him!”

I was very happy to hear the previous words, but this last sentence brought my heart to the bottom again. Why am I going to accompany my dad again while talking?
My mother saw that the two of us were getting nervous again, and smiled and said, "I either go down there to accompany him, or just watch him talk. If I have been holding it in my heart all these years, people of our age will not be as young as you." People like that, talk about love and love, but can't express it! Our marriage was arranged by an organization! Your dad and I got married after meeting once. Do you know the reason why you introduced me to your dad? ?"

I shook my head, and Yaoyang said with a smile: "It's not because you are beautiful!"

My mother rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's because I'm the shortest female employee in the whole factory. As for your dad, he's good at everything, but he's too short. That's how he introduced me to your dad! We There is no relationship involved in getting married. It’s just that the organization wants to keep your dad. Such a technical talent has taken root in the Northeast. Our marriage has become a necessity for our work! But your dad respects me very much and doesn’t treat me at all. Disgusting, you have never blushed with me in so many years, and you haven’t said a single curse word to me! Whether a person’s quality is high or not depends not on one thing or two things, but on a lifetime of doing things! I always admire your dad for this Yes! Of course, it’s obvious that he favors boys over girls, is chauvinistic, doesn’t know much about the world, and likes to be straightforward!”

I smiled and said, "What kind of shortcoming is this?"

My mother shook her head and said: "Everything is fine. In short, he is a good person in this life. He treats everyone with his heart and soul, even me. He always doesn't hurt or itch. I just treat him so well." I feel a little grudge! He doesn’t know how to waste, doesn’t know how to care for others, and can’t speak. I always feel that he doesn’t love me. There is no emotion between us, but only a revolutionary friendship. After so many years, we are We just lived together and had children! It wasn’t until he left that I realized that the relationship between us was a kind of companionship, a kind of mutual support, and a kind of life that should be completed together!"

Both Yaoyang and I were a little embarrassed.

My mother smiled and said: "The love stories of our generation are both simple and complex. What is simple is that there is no earth-shattering love process, no vigorous vows of eternal love, it is just a need, and we are together. Complex, It's because the love between us is mixed with friendship, family affection and revolutionary mission! So, I can't even tell what is between us?"

Yaoyang suddenly said: "Mom, I remember that your cultural level is not high? Why do you talk in the same way? This place is amazing!"

My mother rolled her eyes at him again and said: "These are all words from the bottom of my heart! I am telling you this just to tell you that in our time when we had no choice, we could all live together for decades and support each other, so why can't you? ? If you know how to tolerate, cherish, understand and tolerate each other, you can live a long and short life! Your father's achievement in this life is having you, so my greatest achievement is marrying your father !”

After saying that, she returned to her room.

Yaoyang and I were left in a daze in the hall. After a while, Yaoyang regained his composure and said, "Are you talking to you or to me?"

I thought about it and said, "This is for her and our dad!"

Yaoyang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a sigh: "I think I'm telling you, it seems that neither of us is very happy in our marriage!"

I hummed and said, "Is Sister Min's day coming soon? How is Xiaowai lately? Why haven't you come back this time?"

Yaoyang said angrily: "I am angry when I talk about this. His grandfather loves him the most. I have informed him a long time ago. As for him, there is no movement at all. He doesn't even reply to me. Now he is getting more and more... It’s so bad, when he comes back, I will sever the father-son relationship with him!”

I curled my lips and said, "You can't learn from our dad. He has never beaten or scolded his children since he was a child. To be honest, everyone is scared to death. Just teach by words and deeds. You also have to learn to be a father!"

Yaoyang sighed and said: "I know that my father is not up to par. He has not listened to me since he was a child. It's still your words that work, but in the past few years, these children in the family have not been able to listen to you." No matter what, you don’t even know what’s going on?”

I said, "Yes, after Xiaohao came back from the army, he went abroad again. What's going on now, he hasn't contacted me! There is no news about Xiaoxue. When you say this, you really feel that we are all He’s old!”

Yaoyang smiled bitterly and said, "You also know that you are getting old and it's time to find another companion!"

I asked curiously: "Why didn't any of you advise me not to get a divorce? My parents knew about my divorce and never told me once. Are you all so unfavorable to my marriage to Sheng Nan?" ?"

Yaoyang shook his head and said: "When I knew the news, I wanted to scold you, but after thinking about it, what qualifications did I have to criticize you? Besides, everyone should have a lifestyle of their own choice, you There must be many reasons for your divorce from Shengnan. I know that you love Shengnan very much, even more than you love yourself! So, I won’t ask! As for your parents, they are already worried about you, and you can’t control it alone. Come on, as long as you are not dead or in jail, they will pray to God and worship Buddha, so they don’t care about you getting married and having children! Dad is gone, and the only regret is that I didn’t have a grandchild! When I say this, I get angry, No, I’ll call that scoundrel again!”

After saying that, he picked up the phone and after dialing for a long time, he looked at the phone strangely and said, "Can't find this number? Did you change the phone number and didn't tell me?"

I snorted and said, "What a father you are, compared to an incompetent son like me. Now you can't even contact me? Then you still said you informed him?"

Yaoyang hummed and said, "I informed him. He said he had too many classes and wouldn't let me make phone calls. Normally, he can't answer the phone during class, so I always send him messages! I don't There are too many things to do and I don’t have time to take care of him!”

I didn’t think too much and just asked calmly: “Give me the address and I’ll look for him!”

Yaoyang sent me the address and then asked, "Are you going now? Where is mom?"

I said helplessly: "How about you go? I'll stay at home with mom?"

Yaoyang frowned and said: "Forget it, you better go! I'm afraid if I go, I won't be able to help but beat him!"

I haven't been out for a few days. When I walked to the door, I saw two cars parked at the door. They were blocking the door of my house. People had to turn sideways when they wanted to come out. I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. But I thought I had something to do, and it was just After moving here, I didn't bother to argue with them and thought of going to Xiaowai first.

Who knew there was someone in the other car, and they didn't know if they saw me or not, but they pushed the door and hit me.

When I got angry, I pushed the car door back. The person who just wanted to get out of the car was pushed back into the car by me.I walked to the front of his car and stood and looked at the people in the car. I saw a fat man with a big head and big ears, wearing a dog leash, a floral shirt, and a coat outside. He looked quite fierce.

He was so frustrated that he naturally refused to let me go. He honked the horn for a long time, then pushed the door open and got out of the car again. He was panting and exhausted from the next bus.

Then he pointed at me and cursed: "Are you blind? Why are you pushing my car door? Do you know how expensive this car is? Can you afford to pay for it if it breaks down?"

I just wanted to lose my temper, but then I thought that I was so impulsive and I should change my mind, so I calmed down and said, "Your car is blocking the door of my house. There are so many parking spaces in this community, please park a little further!"

My attitude was very polite, at least I thought so, but to Fatty, it sounded provocative. He looked at me disdainfully and said, "Your door? The place outside this door is public." Area, I can park my car wherever I want! I've been parking here for almost a year, and no one has said anything to me, why are you so special? Didn't you come out? It doesn't block your entry or exit. ah!"

I yelled, "It's convenient for others, but it's also convenient for you! If there is an elderly person at home, they won't be able to get out. There are so many empty parking spaces. How difficult is it for you to park in the parking space!?"

But the fat man said disapprovingly: "I said I can park wherever I like? You're being pushy, I'll park at your house!"

I don’t have time to talk nonsense with him. I have seen too many people like him. Before, I slapped him and the car was damaged by him. But now I am different. I suppressed my Temper, took a deep breath, smiled and said: "Okay, if you want to stop at my house, just knock down the door!" After saying that, he was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to walk outside the community.

Or because he thought I was easy to bully and he thought he had won, the fat man never forgot to laugh at me: "Don't live in a villa if you don't have money. If you don't have a car, why don't you let someone park the car? Poor guy!"

I went out to take a taxi and arrived at the hotel where Lu Ping and the others were staying. Seeing how angry I was, Lu Ping asked, "Who provoked you? No one was hurt, right?"

I rolled my eyes at her and said, "Am I that domineering? Book a flight for me, I have to go to Kunming!"

Lu Ping groaned and asked, "Why are you going to Kunming? Aren't you going to accompany your mother?"

I sighed and said, "I can't contact Yaoyang's son! I've actually been feeling strange for a long time. My dad passed away and he hasn't come back yet, and the phone can't be answered. I'm afraid something will happen, so I'll go to the school and have a look!"

Lu Ping asked again: "How many days has it been? How many days have I been unable to contact you?"

I answered vaguely: "About a week or so?"

Lu Ping sighed and asked, "I'm asking you, when was the last time you contacted him?"

I scratched my head and said: "How do I know this? You have to ask Yaoyang. They have always been at odds with each other and rarely communicate with each other! Apart from so many things here, how can I care about him! Anyway, I met him last time It’s been at least two years!”

Lu Ping glared at me, then picked up the phone and ordered three tickets. I asked, "Why did you order three tickets? Yaoyang is not going, he is at home with my mother!"

Lu Ping ignored me and said to Anzi: "Take some time to clean up. Let's leave for the airport in half an hour!"

I was a little embarrassed and said: "Anzi's injury hasn't healed yet, so why don't we go with him? You don't need to go either, I can go alone!"

Lu Ping said angrily: "Are you alone? I don't worry, it's better to have more people. Anzi has nothing to do anyway, so it would be nice to walk with us more!"

Anzi said with a smile: "Yes, I like to go out the most now. It's so nice to walk around! I haven't met Yaoyang's son yet!"

The three of us arrived at the airport and got on the plane. After a 6-hour flight, we arrived at Kunming Changshui Airport. It was another two seasons. It was really like spring here all year round. We took off our coats and ran to Xiaowai’s school without delay. .

Xiao Wai's grades have been poor since he was a child. Although he is as smart as Yaoyang, he has no concentration and is very patient. When he takes an exam, he is either first or second to last. Yaoyang doesn't care about him. My parents are at home. Never mind him, after entering high school, he lived on campus by himself, and no one took care of him. The school was an aristocratic school, with more than 10 yuan a year. If you just throw it in, you don't have to worry about anything. You can also go to college directly with good grades. , he can directly go abroad for further study, so no one in the family pays much attention to him, except my father and my mother. I guess my mother’s thoughts are all on my father because of his illness, and she must have ignored him!
When we arrived at school, the school gate was already closed. I still thought about knocking on the door and asking the security guard to open the door for me.

Lu Ping stopped me and said: "Why do you think differently from normal people? This is a school, not your home! He can't open the door for you just because you want him to? Why do you think so? In the middle of the night , ask someone to open the door for you! Come back tomorrow morning! Find their class teacher first, and if that doesn’t work, go to the Academic Affairs Office and tell the school about the missing contact, so that we can get in!"

Then I nodded and said, "I'm anxious, I didn't think too much!"

Early the next morning, we went to the school, but the gate was still closed and there was no security guard in sight.

I didn't notice it last night, but now I can see clearly that the door is locked with a large iron chain. The lock on it seems to have not been opened for a long time and is all rusty!Thinking back to last night, the campus was completely dark, and I felt something was wrong!

I asked with some suspicion: "Is this school closed? The school is gone and you don't even know it? How can you be a parent?"

I was speechless and said, "I don't know this either! Can't I?"
