Turn the cocoon into a butterfly

Chapter 22 Phantom Cheng Weize

There were very few people on the street, and Sang Xiaoyu was riding a tricycle, chatting happily with her son in the car.

The son suddenly asked: "Mom, what the hell did my dad do? My grandma said he ran away and didn't want you and me anymore. Is it true? Why did he run away? Did he make a mistake?"

As the son grows up day by day, he wants to know more about the things he doubts.

In the past few months, Sang Xiaoyu has been thinking about borrowing money to pay off debts. She has never seriously told her son about his father. She already knew about it at a young age and wanted to verify the accuracy of her grandmother's words with her mother.

Sang Xiaoyu asked caringly: "Do you miss Dad?"

Xiaoyu nodded: "Well, Dad loves me the most."

Sang Xiaoyu concealed a little sadly and said: "Your father didn't run away, and he didn't want our mother and daughter. He went out to borrow money, and he will come back when he borrows money."

The son relaxed and asked again: "What if we pay back the money? Will he come back?"

Sang Xiaoyu said solemnly: "Of course, son, don't worry, Dad will definitely come back."

The son patted himself on the chest and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will grow up soon, and I will help you pay back the money."

Sang Xiaoyu looked at her son happily, and said, "Yes, when my son grows up, he will also help his mother. Let's 'Yu Gong Move Mountains'."

"Why doesn't Dad work hard and earn money with us? My grandma scolds him every day, and I don't want to hear it anymore."

Ziqiao sighed like an adult.

Sang Xiaoyu thought for a while and then said: "Ziqiao, what mother told you is that what father did is a little wrong, but he can't earn it for a while because he owes so much money. If he doesn't go to other places, like his mother, It will take some time to pay back the money.

Dad went to earn a lot of money, but your grandma doesn't believe it, but you believe what your mother said, Ziqiao, he will definitely come back after making a lot of money. "

Ziqiao finally believed his mother's words and said happily: "Mom, I just said that my father is not the kind of person my grandma said. He is very good to me. When he comes back with a lot of money, my grandma will believe him."

Sang Xiaoyu said: "Yes, let's wait for this time together, it will be soon."

Along the way, the mother and son asked and answered in harmony.

When we got downstairs to his mother-in-law's house, Ziqiao wanted to go upstairs with his mother, but Sang Xiaoyu said nothing, saying that grandma needed someone to accompany her.

After all, Ziqiao was still a child, and happily ran up with two bottles of seasoning. Sang Xiaoyu repeatedly told him not to knock the bottles.

Cheng Ziqiao's small face appeared at the upstairs window after a while.

The mother-in-law also told her to wait a while at the window, saying that there was something for her.

The one who went downstairs was sister-in-law Cheng Weiting.

Sang Xiaoyu has the best relationship with her. This sister-in-law who is one year younger than her is still unmarried. She came down with two big convenience bags in her hand, which were full of New Year's items.

Sang Xiaoyu said politely: "Everything is fine at home, I don't need these."

Cheng Weiting said: "Still making it up, I don't understand, why are you still lying to our family? Don't you want to make a miserable story about yourself? Then..."

Sang Xiaoyu stopped her and said, "I don't think so."

Cheng Weiting said: "If you don't have this idea, just take things obediently."

Sang Xiaoyu took the things and put them on the car, and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend? I haven't contacted you for a long time now, and I don't even know about such things."

Cheng Weiting said with a smile: "I've got one, and I'm very satisfied. I think we'll get married in the next year."

Sang Xiaoyu was taken aback and said, "Really? We're getting married in just a few months?"

Cheng Weiting said: "I'm just too satisfied, what are you waiting for? I'm not young anymore."

Sang Xiaoyu said in embarrassment: "Your money..."

Cheng Weiting immediately said: "Sister-in-law, don't mention the money. It is our family's right to you. If you have our family's money, you can give some to my parents. My sister and I have agreed that we will pay you one cent." No more."

Sang Xiaoyu glanced at her very touched and said: "If you don't pay back the money, you have to follow the gift."

Cheng Weiting said: "You are exempt, but you must come."

Sang Xiaoyu agreed.

What does a man do?

Cheng Weiting said that he is the technical backbone of a company.

Sang Xiaoyu said that in this way, she can rest assured that it is the duty of a technical person.

Sang Xiaoyu said that she was leaving and only her mother was at home.

Cheng Weiting held her back, took out another handful of money and forced it to Sang Xiaoyu.

Sang Xiaoyu said no.

Cheng Weiting said that I didn't give it to you, it was my parents.

Sang Xiaoyu said that I don't want it anymore.

Cheng Weiting said: "Sister-in-law, you are really kind. What if other people don't come to my house every day to ask for money? But you are not. The more you do this, the more we feel that we owe you too much. You must take this money. Our family Much better than before.”

Sang Xiaoyu didn't understand.

Cheng Weiting said: "It's not because of me, my fiancé's family conditions are very good."

Sang Xiaoyu was happy and said, "This is great."

So he took the money without looking at it.

"Isn't there any news about my brother? How can he handle the New Year's Eve alone?" Cheng Weiting said sadly.

Sang Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly and said: "I still hope to get some news from you, oh..."

Sang Xiaoyu didn't want to stay any longer, so she said goodbye to her sister-in-law.

Pedaling on streets with few pedestrians.The sound of firecrackers began to explode in turn.

The firecrackers on the outskirts of the city are a bit like battlefields in movies, the sound is impenetrable, while the firecrackers in the city are like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, with one wave higher than the other.

Sang Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the happy scene of the family during the Spring Festival last year and couldn't help feeling sad.

Cheng Weize is basically the backbone of the family. His father-in-law and mother-in-law are dominated by him in everything, and the two sisters are even obedient to him, but what he cares most about is Sang Xiaoyu.

At her parents-in-law's house, Sang Xiaoyu is willing to help with the cooking.

In the first few years, in order to show that he found a woman who can go to the living room and go to the kitchen, Cheng Weize is willing to see Sang Xiaoyu busy in the kitchen, and is willing to help her. The couple will always be a sweet couple in front of people.

Later, Cheng Weize quit.

Don't let Sang Xiaoyu do anything.

Even the work of washing the dishes and cleaning the table is not allowed to be done. The two sisters have special opinions, and the mother-in-law always calms things down and says she can do it herself.

Cheng Weize said to Sang Xiaoyu behind his back: "I just love my wife."

Sang Xiaoyu said that she wanted to love her mother.

Cheng Weize said that if you don't let her do it, won't she turn against you?
Sang Xiaoyu's mother-in-law is the best mother-in-law in the world. This is what Sang Xiaoyu said to Cheng Weize once and for all. She rarely finds fault with her family members. No matter who has troubles in the family, she is the first to stand up and help.

When Sang Xiaoyu returned to her natal home, she refused to let her mother extend her hand.

She said it was time for her to honor her mother.

Of course my mother was happy, and kept asking if it was the same at her mother-in-law's house?
Sang Xiaoyu didn't speak, she knew that if she said she did everything, her mother would feel distressed.

Cheng Weize then exaggeratedly said that Sang Xiaoyu didn't even need to move a finger, and then his mother was so happy that she couldn't help but say Sang Xiaoyu in private, saying that she didn't do anything was too shameful.

Sang Xiaoyu didn't know what her mother was like, anyway, let her tell the good and the bad.

At night, Sang Xiaoyu actually thinks of Cheng Weize and worries about his life.

It's the Chinese New Year, no matter how difficult it is for him, there are still relatives by his side, what about him?
Sang Xiaoyu didn't dare to think about it anymore, the life she faced was just like this weather, harsh and cold.

The wind whistles like the tide of sea water; the sky is about to change.

Sang Xiaoyu pushed the car and walked on the street during the festival. The sunset glow left in the sky was wilting and withering like petals. The sun was sinking and the cold wind was getting strong.

There is a commercial street in front of the mother-in-law's house, and the neon lights come from the shops, dragging out a misty and suffocating arc of light.

Sang Xiaoyu pushed the tricycle forward slowly, forward.

She felt as if she were a robot, busy by day and suffering the long, lonely winter nights.

Just when she was thinking wildly, a man riding a bicycle flashed past her in front of her. He had a tall figure and an upright figure. Why was this man so familiar? It was Cheng Weize!
It's really Cheng Weize.

Sang Xiaoyu panicked, she hurriedly turned around and chased after him, the man's back was getting closer and closer, and the closer he was, the more he looked like Cheng Weize.

Sang Xiaoyu felt ecstasy in her heart, yes, it must be him!It's Chinese New Year, he must be going back to his mother-in-law's house, she yelled sadly with a sore nose, "Weize, is that you?"

Sang Xiaoyu chased after her on her bicycle, and when she got close, she was so panicked that she couldn't brake steadily, and almost bumped into the man.

The man turned his head, looked at Sang Xiaoyu with a strange expression, and said in a low voice, "You crazy!"

Sang Xiaoyu discovered that the man was not Cheng Weize at all, she had mistaken him.

He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm delusional."

The man rolled his eyes and walked away, Sang Xiaoyu's legs went limp, and he couldn't move anymore.

Sang Xiaoyu's wonderful expectations were torn to pieces when he turned around, she felt a cold wind passing through her head to her feet vertically, it was a heart-wrenching cold.

She was pushing the cart, walking in a daze without a clue, and she suddenly felt a slight chill on her face.

She wiped it with her hand and it snowed again. She didn't know whether it was the melted snow or her own tears that flowed on her face.

The sparse snowflakes fluttering in the wind slowly danced in front of her eyes, like her chaotic life.

When I got home, my mother had made up the noodles and was chopping stuffing.She hastily put on her apron and let her mother go to rest.

Mother said with resentment: "Is there anything else to do besides this work?"

When she was sad, her mother always tried to motivate her.

Once she sees her calm down, she will also bring out some complaints, especially when she went to her mother-in-law's house and took away two bottles of seasoning.

She first took out the money from her mother-in-law, shook it in front of her mother's eyes, and then looked up the money with a slightly distorted movement.The mother-in-law took a thousand, and Sang Xiaoyu felt warm in her heart.

"Mom, we have 1000 yuan, now you and Ziqiao can count on living expenses."

She wanted to say pay back the money, but after thinking about it, she should leave the decision to her mother.

Mother came over, took the money and put it into her arms without counting, and gave her a hard look.

Seeing that her mother's face was still serious, Sang Xiaoyu opened the things her mother-in-law brought to her.

She exclaimed, "Yo, a whole chicken!"

After a while, he shouted again: "Such a big fish! There are also trotters!"

Mother was not in the mood to listen to her, so she turned and went into the back room.

Sang Xiaoyu is like an excellent actor, performing hard on the stage, when all the audience left suddenly, her performance had to stop abruptly.

The work at hand was almost done, and when I was about to stew the fish meat that my mother-in-law brought, my mother lifted the door curtain and said, "Don't move those, save the fish and come back to eat."

Sang Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and put the things away quickly.She knew that the old man cared most about her son.

On New Year's Eve, they didn't prepare any dishes, and even the only bottle of drink they bought for Xiaoyu was confiscated by their mother.

They can only eat dumplings.

The two women sat on the kang and reconciled, and the stuffing can be mixed.

When they were about to pack, they heard the sound of footsteps at the door, and the two became tense for a moment.There is still two thousand left to be paid back, maybe some people from Aunt Bai came up to ask for the debt.

Looking out from the window, it is not very real. Plastic sheeting has been nailed to the window for warmth.

Sang Xiaoyu hurriedly got down from the kang, and when she saw that there were seven or eight people from the neighbors, her heart beat suddenly.

Sang Xiaoyu thought, sooner or later, her heart will have a problem, this day suddenly.

They were all holding things in their hands, and Sang Xiaoyu felt relieved.

Just when she didn't know what to say, she saw that Aunt Bai spoke first,
"It's Chinese New Year's Eve, thinking about your family is going to be hard, you don't have to do anything, our family gathered together and brought it to you."

Everyone holds a bowl and a plate in their hands, which contain: chicken, fish, vegetables and fruits.

Sang Xiaoyu's tears flowed down uncontrollably.

She bowed to everyone who entered the room, saying "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Thank you, thank you!"

Seeing that they only had dumplings, a few people looked at each other, put down the dishes and left.

Sang Xiaoyu never imagined that these neighbors, who were vicious when they saw them, would show up in such a way at this moment...

That night, she had a dream.In the dream, Cheng Weize came back, wearing the same handsome suit as when he left.

He is carrying a black leather bag that is often seen in movies with a high air.

Sang Xiaoyu asked him where he went and why he took so long to come back.

Cheng Weize said that he borrowed money, a total of 34 yuan.Xiao Yu, it's ready now, look!
Then he opened the suitcase, but there was nothing in the suitcase.

Cheng Weize looked through the suitcase repeatedly in disbelief, and said, no, no!Obviously it is 34, why is it gone?No, I have to go!
Sang Xiaoyu hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Weize, don't leave, don't leave again, I've already paid back 30, and we'll pay off the remaining [-] together, please Don't go!"

Cheng Weize ignored Sang Xiaoyu's pleading, turned around and left the door.

Sang Xiaoyu chased after him and shouted, "Weize, don't go, don't go, Weize!"

Sang Xiaoyu was awakened by such shouts. She got up and saw that her mother was still asleep. The sound of firecrackers outside the window gradually faded away, but the night outside the window brightened.

Except for her house, every household has hung festive red lanterns.
