Chapter 6 Living with Aunt Zhang

What does it feel like to be eighteen again?

Chai Shiwei just wanted to say, relax!Easier than ever!It was as easy as if all the heavy burdens on my body had disappeared, as if the past were all a dream.

I just occasionally think about what happened to Coco and Lele. She has already returned. Does that world in the future no longer exist? Or is it like a parallel space? In fact, she has not come back. She is still in that home before she is burdened. Okay, now she is back in another parallel space.

Because she had to take the college entrance examination, Yang Meijuan only took three days off to spend time with her. Now that the exam is over, Yang Meijuan has gone back to work.

When Chai Shiwei woke up in the morning, it was already past nine in the morning. It had been a long time since she had slept so soundly without any burden.

There were two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk on the dining table. It looked like they were bought from the community activity room. Grandma Bao had been selling them for more than ten years. The children in this area all grew up eating Grandma Bao’s breakfast.There is still 13 yuan left next to the soy milk, but I don't know if my mother put two yuan less or if my father continued to embezzle two yuan.

The steamed buns and soy milk were both cold. Chai Shiwei took the steamed buns and soy milk to the small kitchen at the door, ready to turn on the pot and steam them.

"The Xiaowei exam is over." A middle-aged aunt came over with the groceries she had just bought.

Chai Shiwei didn't react for a moment. He was still thinking about who this person was. He looked familiar, but he hadn't remembered it yet.

"Xiaowei, by the way, this is the roasted pork belly I bought this morning. Our brat asked for it, so I bought an extra one for you to eat."

"Oh, thank you, auntie, I don't need it, you can take it home to eat."

The middle-aged aunt had already dug out the bowl from the Chai family's cupboard and poured half of it into the bowl. "Why are you being polite to Aunt Zhang? You know your Uncle Zhong can't eat these. If he sees it, he will be starved to death. Zhong Chengming will eat it too." Not so much."

"Thank you Aunt Zhang." Chai Shiwei couldn't refuse. She also remembered her neighbor Aunt Zhang. After the demolition, Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhong went abroad with their son. Later they returned to China and met with their old neighbor. But she didn't see it when she was away at university.

Aunt Zhang held the dishes and waved her hand, "Auntie is back."

When Aunt Zhang walked to the door of her house, she looked at Chai Shiwei who was heating steamed buns and remembered that the Chai family should have gone to work at this time, and said to Chai Shiwei, "Xiaowei, your parents are not at home. We are going to have lunch at noon." Why don’t you go to aunt’s house for dinner?”

"Thank you, Auntie, no need." Chai Shiwei quickly waved his hand.

Although she is an old neighbor, in her feelings, she has not seen this aunt for more than ten years. She still doesn't know what to say to others. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing to go to someone else's house?

"Auntie bought enough vegetables today. Come to auntie's house for lunch. Eating instant noodles is not nutritious." Aunt Zhang still wanted to persuade her again. She also knew that the child was thin-skinned.

"No need." Chai Shiwei saw an upside-down bowl in the cupboard, "My parents left some food for me. I can just heat it up at noon. Thank you, auntie. If I need help, I will go to you." of."

"Okay then." Aunt Zhang put the dishes in the small kitchen at the door, said hello to Chai Shiwei, and then went home.

Chai Shi breathed a sigh of relief. For her, no matter the environment or people, they were all people and things deep in her memory. She still remembered that there should be a class reunion in a few days, but there were many names of classmates. All forgotten.

After breakfast, Chai Shiwei was ready to go out. At this time, she didn't even have a mobile phone. We are not in the smart era yet, and payment is still in cash. With a mobile phone, you can only send text messages and make calls. The more advanced one is to log in to QQ.

When I walked to the gate of the community, the old memories slowly became clear in my mind.

Although their community is very old, it is very close to No. [-] Middle School. The Yulin Primary School next to it is also a key primary school and is in the catchment area of ​​a key school.The pedestrian street is not far away. It only takes ten minutes to walk there. When she was in school, the most popular place for her and her classmates was to go to the pedestrian street to play on the dance machine to relieve the pressure of studying, or go to the water bar and order a drink. Drink, a plate of fruit, and do homework together.

"Chai Shiwei!"

Chai Shiwei had just walked through the gate of No. [-] Middle School when a girl with bangs ran out. Her bangs were so long that they covered her eyes. She couldn't see what she looked like, and she probably couldn't see what others looked like either.

This was their aesthetic in the past, with bangs covering their eyes, colorful horizontal striped tights, a rose-red patchwork striped hooded sweatshirt, and a small comb in the front pocket at all times, so they had to comb their bangs if they were messy. One comb.

The girl with neat bangs ran to Chai Shiwei, took out a small comb from her pocket and brushed her forehead twice skillfully, and her bangs were neatly trimmed.

"Where are you going? I just went to see Teacher Kan." The girl held her hand very familiarly, "Let's go to the food court to buy milk tea. When we leave here, we will never be able to drink milk tea from our alma mater again." milk tea.”

"Uh, okay." Chai Shiwei really couldn't remember what this girl's name was.

Teacher Kan in their class is very strict. When they go to school, long hair must be tied up, and short hair must expose the eyes and eyebrows. She has seen their graduation photos many times, and it seems that no one is dressed like this.

The girl looked at Chai Shiwei and kept staring at her hair. She was a little excited and said, "I cut this yesterday. It looks good! I will cut my hair first thing after the exam. I also straightened it. It's smooth." Yes, my hair has never been so good!”

"Will the bangs block my eyes?" Chai Shiwei couldn't help but ask. She felt a little uncomfortable looking at the bangs.

The girl brushed back her bangs that were blocking her eyes, "Yes, but the hairdresser said that this is very popular recently and it only takes two days to get used to it. I also want to do the pear perm, but my mother won't allow it."

"I've already finished the college entrance examination, and now that I'm an adult, she still has to take care of me. It's really annoying for my mother. When the time comes to apply for my application, I won't apply for a school in the province! I want to apply far away, so that she won't have to take care of me." That girl Pouting and complaining.

Chai Shiwei is still a child on the outside, but on the inside she is already a 32-year-old mature woman.

She subconsciously put herself in her mother's perspective, "It's just that in your mother's eyes, you are still a child. Although she has completed the college entrance examination, she has not adapted to the change of this role."

"Hey, sure enough, when my mother was educating me, she would always say, look at Chai Shiwei... I will never be like you, like... um, a good wife and mother?" The girl looked like I did. Unsatisfactory expression.

A good wife and good mother... Chai Shiwei was a little helpless. It turned out that in the eyes of her peers, her well-behavedness was actually linked to a good wife and good mother?Maybe the deep-rootedness of people’s thoughts actually starts from childhood?

"Hey, did you know?" The girl looked mysterious, "Our class once held a vote."

"What kind of voting?" Chai Shiwei was curious. When she was in school, she was really a good kid. She basically didn't know much about the activities and gossip in the class.

"There is an option, who is suitable to be a wife? Who do you think has the most votes?"

Chai Shiwei looked at the girl next to her looking at her excitedly. The expression on her face was a little broken. What kind of thoughts do these children have? "You don't mean to say it's me, do you?"

The girl snapped her fingers and said, "It's you. Your votes are overwhelming, leading No. 2 by more than thirty votes!"

"..."
