Mrs. Song opened her dim old eyes and looked at Pocky's mom for a while, and even her ability to express herself was limited, obviously there were words that she wanted to say, but she couldn't make sense of the order, and could only allow them to be congested under her stiff tongue.
Pocky's mom explained plainly, "You see, my parents are long gone, my man is dead, and now I don't even have a son, so I don't have any relatives. I myself and this appearance, was not much energy, live is also to others as a drag, but I always thought, if I do not live, three children and Qianer they suffer so much is not in vain? So I haven't dared to die, two days ago my big aunt came to visit, and told me that this house is worth a lot of money, which reminds me, this old life of mine is still worth a set of house money, I want to leave the house to those two children."
Old Mrs. Song strained to say, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm not thinking blindly, I just want to pick a good place to go so no one can find me when I'm gone." Ma Ma said briskly.
It seemed that life had become a painful burden for her, which made her run to death extraordinarily light.
When Asako's mom said this, she turned her head and asked Old Lady Song, "Big sister, are you coming with me?"
Old Mrs. Song hastily shook her head and expressed vaguely, "But I wouldn't dare, in our old family, whoever's old man is like this, then let people how to poke the spine of your family's children and grandchildren in later generations!"
She said in a hurry, hemp mother heard several times before understanding, then, she laughed: "You think too much, my old sister, we live in this place, out and in, who knows who you are ah? The man or woman living upstairs is old or young you know? Who can poke who's backbone?"
Old Mrs. Song could not retort, her eloquent teeth were crushed by a serious illness, and now that others were just scolding her to her face, she could not react to how to reply, and her face turned red with anxiety.
Asako's mom smiled, "You take your time, there's no rush, both of our sisters are now idle."
Although Ms. Asako didn't say it outright, isn't it death to go like this?
How can people seek death? How ...... humiliating that is!
Mrs. Song desperately thought about how to stop her, trying to slow her violently heaving breathing down gradually.
Her short-term memory is so poor now that the events of decades ago are instead like stones beneath a riverbed, revealing themselves as the water dries up.
Mrs. Song popped out one word at a time with difficulty, trying to make her bite a little clearer.
"When I was seven or eight years old, just in time for the Japanese soldiers, they have a base camp on the west side of the city, in and out and a lot of Japanese women, my three grandfathers and their families live over there, adults do not dare to go, the children are no one to control, my grandpa let me go to them to send food. In fact, the tube is not afraid, my mother gave birth to five daughters, that will be called the girl piece, girl piece is not worth money, live a dead one, in addition to the mother, who cares about it?" Song old lady looked at hemp mother, earnestly said, "at that time I was young, also do not know fear, also do not know the Japanese soldiers will kill, how many trips back and forth, but it really did not run into anything, my grandfather said I life."
Asako's mom just smiled meaningfully.
Seeing that she could not impress her, Mrs. Song had to continue: "Then three years of natural disasters, starvation, no food, the brigade can share some food, but the family has an old man and a young man, and it is not our turn to eat. In the winter months, my sister-in-law and I took the last piece of salted cabbage lumps to cool water to eat, I said that in the spring when the wild vegetables in the ground to grow out will not starve. My sister-in-law said, 'Hey, do you still want to live until spring? I don't dare to think that much.' How did it turn out? We both survived until the beginning of spring, and lived to be two seventy year old bastards."
This time, even the smile on Asako's mom's face became indifferent, and there seemed to be a film in her cloudy gaze that lightly isolated all of Mrs. Song's words from her ears.
Old Mrs. Song painstakingly leaned over, grabbed Asako's mother's only remaining, deformed hand, and shook it twice with all her might: "Live, big sister, how hard it is, live!"
Asako's mom was silent for a long time, but finally shook her head, "You don't have to say anything, I've thought it all out, when I decide where to go out and work out how to get there, I'll look for an opportunity to go."
Mrs. Song sighed and wiped her eyes, but her eyes were so dry that she could no longer cry tears so easily.
Asako's mom asked her, "Will you tell anyone else about this for me?"
Mrs. Song had instinctively shaken her head before she had a chance to look deeper.
Ma Ma Ma's face showed an expression that again looked like relief and as if she understood something, she made an assertion and said, "I knew ...... I knew ah, one day, you will be like me."
Later, Mrs. Song, on her crutches and dragging her heavy feet, left from Ma Zi's place, neither of them could convince the other.
Ma Zi Mom made her heart very uncomfortable, Song Laotai felt her face hot, also a little angry, feeling that Ma Zi Mom is not a thing, let down the three fat and Wei Qian and their hard work in the early years.
Is the love of those who never leave each other no matter how hard or bitter just worth a few broken houses?
Yet in the final analysis, Mrs. Song also admitted that Ma Zi was right on some level - she would either fail Wei Qian and the others for their previous hard work, or continue to drag them down.
Either you fulfill your children's conscience or your own.
Mrs. Song is afraid of death, and the more she comes to the end of her life's path, the more she fears death.
She is so not allowed to be rescued back, it is not easy to recover to the present point ...... But when she trembled half a long time, only to open the door of the house with great effort, the heart is still in such a million not easy, and once again lamented to herself, "Waste, ah, living is really no fun. "
But this mood of hers lasted for a short time, for that night, Song's set ended and she went home.
Song Xiao Bao is not responsible for raising the family, not responsible for arranging the family's big and small matters, but only responsible for being poor and happy all day long, she has little responsibility, and she is doing well - indeed, every day is noisy and quite happy.
Xiao Bao does not mind Grandma, Grandma's slow speech does not matter - anyway, the whole family, as long as she is there, there is almost no room for others to play, she alone can chatter the whole scene.
Wei Qian pushed the door in, just in time to hear her in that hands and feet bragging: "Grandma I tell you that, when I mix well in the future, there is no chance that I also go to act in the movie! You've never seen a movie,...... no, it's not the same as a TV, it's much bigger than a TV screen, it's as big as a wall!"
Wei Qian just stood in the doorway and couldn't help but smile.
He remembered that when he was young, he always thought that this little girl was too noisy, and he didn't realize until now that it was a blessing to have one in the family that could be noisy.
"Brother!" Song Xiaobao pounced on him with a mountainous roar, chirping, "Has this maiden lost weight? Is she pretty? Like a flower?"
Wei Qian's expression was mild, but his words were still venomous as he said coolly, "Like, what a good dog-tailed flower."
Xiao Bao monkey on him a good deal of pampering and play tricks, Wei Qian was not easy to pull her down: "Your second brother will only come back on the weekend, I also have to go on a business trip in the next couple of days, you're at home by yourself, take care of grandma okay?"
Song Xiaobao hurriedly stood upright, "Don't worry, the people are your greatest backing!"
Weiqian slapped the People on the back of the head: "Go and see if you have enough change at home."
Song Xiaobao ran upside down to the cabinet where cash is usually kept to take a look and came back to report, "Enough ...... hey, wait."
After she finished speaking, she went to Old Mrs. Song's room to take out the medicine she usually had to take and checked it out, pinching her fingers and counting, she turned back and shouted at Wei Qian, "Brother, grandma's medicine is almost out, it's time to buy it, you leave some more money for me."
Watching Song Xiaobao run out, Old Mrs. Song couldn't help but slowly move her steps and poke her head out.
She then saw Wei Qian take out his money clip and counted out a dozen blindingly red bills to Xiao Bao.
The smile on Old Mrs. Song's face that hadn't fallen since Xiao Bao's return slowly disappeared.
She thought, "Ouch, what, it costs that much for a single dose of medicine? Is this food all gold?"
Wei Qian really had to leave the next day, and before he left, he left his home and headquarters in the care of Three Fatty.
three fat guys

Reading in sections 57
I don't know which tendon is wrong, talking about the story rehashed, and want to give Wei Qian matchmaking and pulling fiber.
Wei Qian immediately turned his head into two big ones, "Third Brother, do me a favor, I can't even find my fucking north, and you still want to introduce me to girls?"
The three fat people are very serious diagnosis said: "Can not find the north, right? Feeling particularly blind? Feel life is full of pressure, no fun to speak of, right? You, this is the lack of love."
Wei Qian said expressionlessly, "I don't think I'm too short of love, my problem may be caused by the lack of money, you now give me real money to get a few hundred million, so that I can give my body on the spot."
"Get out of the way," three fat hairs have exploded, "our family goddess shine a thousand years, just ...... on you this piece of stinking stone in the latrine, backward posting no one wants."
Wei Qian shrugged, "Fine, if no one wants it, then I'll go."
"Come back." Three Fatty said, from his body to touch out the last time he showed Wei Qian the girl's photo, hard to stuff him, "I told you last time, this girl is called Feng Ning, with Lin Qing a term, after graduation from graduate school stayed in the university, and now do administrative work while continuing to read up, once you get a doctorate immediately can turn into a formal lecturer... ..."
Wei Qian is about to wail, "Spare me, I really ......"
Three fat interrupted him: "People are highly knowledgeable, talented and good-looking, introduced to you counted cheap you girl good - I know you can't care now, when the project side of the matter, come back to meet and get to know each other, hear me? A lot of people chasing it, late will be the first to get in."
Wei Qian perfunctorily said, "Let's talk about it after it's set up."
Three Fatty's face suddenly changed, his expression sank, and he asked coldly, "What's the matter, such a good girl is still not worthy of you? You still talk about your family's little far all day long, what about yourself?"
Wei Qian was on his feet.
"Third brother will not harm you, I know you do not like this type, but live a life not only need to thump the heart, but also have to be suitable to long, a moment is to see the right eye, go home together every day nothing to fight and play, that can work?" Three fat sighed, slowed down the tone, almost bitterly said, "on your temper, how many young girls can tolerate? You need to find someone with a calm personality who is willing to tolerate others. What will happen if you meet her once? If it doesn't work out, you can find someone else, will you lose a piece of meat? You dare to take on such a big mess, but you don't dare to meet a woman?"
Just once, Wei Qian finally let go.
In fact, from the inside, he himself knew that he wasn't interested in Feng Ning, and was purely provoked by those few words from San Fat.
It was as if he was simply desperate to prove that he was capable of being a positive role model for Wei Zhiyuan, and that he was capable of making adult, rational choices rather than succumbing to an inner caprice he shouldn't have.
As for the vague twist in his heart, it was ignored by Wei Qian without any suspense, he has been accustomed to endure all kinds of pressure and unpleasantness, and he does not have much expectation and aspiration for married life.
It's just the way people are supposed to be.
And then Wei Qian took Dr. Ma and flew to the distant city of C.
In the days when he just left, Wei Zhiyuan texted him every day as if he was in the morning and evening, nothing is too small, eating, drinking, pulling and spreading he has to inquire about everything, everything has to be in charge of, and even every day Wei Qian's side of the weather forecast to send a reminder to come over, annoyed to death.
So after a while, Wei Qian as long as it is heard a cell phone rings, do not have to look, know that ten eight/nine is his unlucky brother again.
Then one day, I don't know what happened, Wei Zhiyuan suddenly sent a text message without a clue and asked, "She is quite good?"
Wei Qian did not understand, thought it was Wei Zhiyuan sent the wrong person, he originally intended to ask after a while, did not think that just a little thing at hand, after a while to forget.
After that, Wei Zhiyuan suddenly stopped hearing from him.
Wei Qian was a bit uncomfortable at first, with the unpleasantness of suddenly being ignored. But he called home to report the peace did not hear the little treasure and what abnormalities to the home, the family is all right, Wei Qian to himself, I guess Wei Zhiyuan is also something too busy to care about, the heart of the twisted feeling lasted for a few days, but also did not take it to heart again.
The south is not like the north, the project will be affected by the seasons, Wei Qian arrived, the next day, invited a group of designers, spent two weeks, a combined set of remodeling program.
The original villa area had two packages, a hospital located in the far north and a clubhouse in the far south.
To the north, with the help of the hot springs in the mountains, they transformed it into a healing and wellness center incorporating women's beauty services, while the clubhouse to the south was transformed into a private school.
In order to this school, the old bear was sent back, he flew around the country, almost mobilized all the contacts, which dug a famous study abroad training institutions, they invited people here, rent-free and for teachers to provide food and lodging and regular convalescence as a condition, with the help of that study abroad training institutions brand, packaged a "Private International Schools They used the brand name of the organization to package a "private international school".
We provide a one-stop service from foreign language training to study abroad agency, and sign a guaranteed contract with students to ensure that they apply to a place of study that is above the grade of the guaranteed school.
Tuition and service fees are waived for Villa District heads of household.
This time, the advertisements were spread out in the name of "Private Profit International School" by the study abroad training organization, which quickly reached the target customer group, and turned a vacation villa into a "school district house", almost recovering the cost within two months.
After half a year, the whole project was even directly liquidated, and even far exceeded the 200% return on investment expected by Mr. Zhang at the beginning.
Of course, these follow-up work is the project company's marketing team, the sales office ushered in the first wave of guests from abroad came to see the house, Wei Qian knew that they this most difficult pass over.
Halfway back, Ma Chunming asked him excitedly as if he had nails growing out of his buttocks, "So, is my consulting service this time considered a success? Counted as an introduction? Wei Dong, you said let me come to work for you seriously? I can ......"
He glanced sideways at Wei Qian and suddenly closed his mouth.
The airplane hadn't even left the runway yet, and Wei Qian, leaning against the back of his chair, had actually fallen asleep.
It's not easy being a boss, Ma Chunming thought to himself.
After the bumpy ride, Dr. Horse put down his little desk pad, took out his pen and book, and carefully and conscientiously recorded all the work he had done on the trip. Then he turned the book to the last page and on the blank page he drew a serious picture of a little turtle climbing up a hill.
By the time Wei Qian was woken up midway by the flight attendant delivering the food, Dr. Ma's book already had a reinforced company of small turtles on it.
The familiar style of drawing and vivid movements made Wei Qian recognize it at a glance after many years, and at once, the three words "Ma Chunming" became familiar, coinciding with the name of the person on the title page of the old textbook he had once used.
Wei Qian couldn't help but ask, "You also graduated from City No. 3 High School in high school?"
Dr. Ma hurriedly closed the book in a panic, regretting that he had gotten carried away for a moment and had shown his most unreliable side to his future boss.
Wei Qian couldn't help but lose his smile, "It's fine, you draw it, it's quite good."
He didn't expect that he would meet the "God Turtle" just like this, it's really not a good time in his life. He recalled the time when he took the second-hand textbooks and fought black boxing in the two provinces, and in the rumbling sound of the airplane engine, he lifted a slit of the downed visor, and a large piece of cloud cover was under the fuselage, and the strong ultraviolet rays stung people's eyes raw pain.
Wei Qian's chest was suddenly wide open.
...... Of course, if he knew what Three Fatty had gotten up to behind his back during his absence, and what he was about to face when he returned, he might not be so happy so soon.
On the first day Wei Qian left, San Fat sneaked into his house and told Xiao Bao that he had a piece of company information to get from Wei Qian's house.
Po, of course, didn't have the slightest doubt, and walked by with the apple in his mouth without even looking at it.
Three fat acquaintances to commit the crime, can be said to be twice the effort, into Wei Qian's room, three times removed his table original, obsolete graduation photo moved away, replaced with a photo of Feng Ning put, but also full of hints on the side of a small gift box - obviously girlish wrapped box containing a delicate lighter.
Wei Zhiyuan originally did not expect Wei Qian would suddenly decide to go to the south, otherwise he would not go, a week later, he went home on time, although he did not realize the results of the observation, some regret, but he still insisted on harassing Wei Qian once a day, harassment is not happy.
One day, he seemed to have finally annoyed Wei Qian, Wei Qian called back, first briefly inquired about the situation at home, and then began to reprimand Wei Zhiyuan: "Are you still finished? Telecom just opened a business in your village, will play with the phone, right? My monthly communication fee is even higher than that of the two-bit counselor over there who is in love!"
The last few words of scolding in the Wei Zhiyuan listen to the sound of the great, to be lectured by the simply happy, but this flower flower has not been fully opened, Wei Zhiyuan was another message smashed blind - three fat knocked on the door, carrying into a few boxes of beautifully packaged snacks, a door handed to Xiaobao, said: "Your brother is not coming back! It's cheaper for you two, eat it."
Xiaobao shamelessly peeled off the box while politely saying without any sincerity, "Aiyo third brother, you came just to come, what else to take ...... next time to take a few more boxes okay?"
"Greedy for you." Three Fatty smiled back to her words, but intentionally or unintentionally swept a glance at Wei Zhiyuan, deliberately said in an ambiguous tone, "Don't be blindly self-centered ah, this is not for you to buy, people this is specifically for your brother to take."
Bao had to stay in shape and didn't dare to eat more, only carefully breaking off half a piece to quench his craving, "Who is it? Who bought this for my brother?"
San Fatty smiled mysteriously at Wei Zhiyuan, who was standing behind her, "Your future sister-in-law."
He saw with satisfaction that Wei Zhiyuan's face suddenly changed.
Xiaobao stayed for a moment, first frowning a bit uncomfortably, yet she took it in fast and quickly relieved herself, chasing after Sanfat and asking, "When did this happen? Why didn't my brother say anything? What does she do? Does she have a good temper? What kind?"
Three Fatty laughed, "Your third brother introduced you, can you be wrong? Go to your brother's house and take a look, there must be a picture."
Xiaobao immediately went there, she quickly found Feng Ning's picture on Wei Qian's desk and that gift box, fussing like she had found a new continent, and attempting to pull Wei Zhiyuan along to view it.
"Xiaobao," Wei Zhiyuan suddenly spoke at this time, "Grandma seems to be calling you."
"Oh," Song didn't doubt it, stuffing the rest of the snack into his mouth in one bite and turning around with his cheeks puffed out, "Here it comes!"
Three fat watched Wei Zhiyuan gloomy face, he has never seen Wei Zhiyuan like this, that kind of undisguised coldness let three fat can not help but think of retaliation society perverted murderer, just the eyes let a person shudder.
Wei Qian is blind, right? Can't even see this - San Fatty sighed this in his heart, foreboding that Wei Zhiyuan was going to tear his face off with him face to face, and that the words hidden underneath were going to come clean.
Three Fatty pretended to be aware of the situation and looked at Wei Zhiyuan's expression and joked, "What's the matter? You're not happy?"
Wei Zhiyuan first didn't say anything.
"Alas, Third Brother knows that this is just like the feeling of a real father looking for his stepmother, and it's only Xiao Bao that girl who can be so heartless." Third Fatty pretended to understand and patted Wei Zhiyuan's stiff shoulders, pretending to say, "But think about it, your brother is your brother after all, even parents can't follow their children for the rest of their lives, not to mention brothers, there will come a day when you will all have your own families, this is the law of nature ah."
Three fat finished, raised his head to observe Wei Zhiyuan s expression, however, in that young man s eyes could not pry out a little bit of clues, it was just a gloomy black inside, he finally could not help but speak off the cuff, "Your brother is not easy in this life, you ...... you... ... alas, let him worry less."
Wei Zhiyuan lowered his voice, his lips barely moving as he said, "Third Brother, you do know?"
SanFat didn't know how to answer, facing the extremely pale face of this child that he had watched grow up since he was a child, he couldn't say anything for a while.
The corner of Wei Zhiyuan's mouth moved, seemingly sneering extremely quickly, and then he turned around and walked away without saying a word. The last look in his eyes made SanFat couldn't help but feel a palpitation, and couldn't help but think: This kid wouldn't be so stimulated that he would do something, right?
