156 The Taste of Happiness (4000-word chapter)(2/3)
The cashier frowned impatiently, "Your home should be nearby, where?"
The cashier hung up a sign that was suspended at the store, led the little girl out of the convenience store, led the little girl across the road, and led the little girl to the apartment building where she was.
"You can go up by yourself, right?"
The little girl nodded, and Yugli put it in a plastic bag together.
She rushed to the apartment building with delicious plastic bags, but ended up tripping on the road.
"So, I hate little kids..."
The cashier walked up impatiently, helped the little girl up, and patted the dust on her body.
"Does it hurt?"
The little girl shook her head, but her eyes kept flashing with crystal tears.
He led the little girl up the stairs and arrived at the floor of the apartment where the little girl lived.
"Your home is right?"
The little girl nodded and pointed to the small door in front of her that was blocked with a stool.
"Okay, get these things now and get out of here."
The cashier knocked the little girl in the head, "I'll buy something next time, do you remember what kind of money do you bring?"
The little girl nodded vigorously, "Red money."
After the cashier left, the little girl entered the rental house with a bag of snacks.
Mom is still asleep.
There was a photo of a broken photo frame on the bedside table, which seemed to be an intimate photo of a lover.
The girl tiptoed to close the door, took out the Yugli she had been thinking about from the bag, and gently opened the lid. The ice cream inside had melted a little, and it also deformed a little in the vibration just now.
However, it does smell sweet.
The little girl wiped her saliva. Instead of enjoying the delicious food immediately, she quietly walked to her mother, took a small wooden spoon, and gently dug a little bit of yogri ice cream and delivered it to her mother's mouth.
The cold touch of the ice cream instantly made my mother excited, and she quickly woke up with a smacking mouth.
"What...what..."
"What the hell are you doing!"
While getting up, the mother slapped the little girl hard, and her red palm was printed on her petite cheek on her left face. The girl retreated in horror and steadily protected the yogre ice cream in her hand.
At the same time, my mother sat up from the bed with her mouth wiped and showed a very disgusting expression.
"It's so sticky... so disgusting! What did you feed me?"
Although he was slapped hard, the girl did not shed tears, but tried hard to make herself smile and handed the yogri ice cream to her mother again.
"Mom, is it...it's luck, the taste of happiness...it's said on TV..."
Bang!
The yogre ice cream in the little girl's hand was slapped open by her mother. The cream ice cream hit the small TV along the box, and the white juice slowly flowed down the TV screen.
"What a taste of happiness..."
"Did you get something wrong... Xiaorou..."
My mother's eyes were filled with grief and despair, and her eyes turned red.
"The culprit that made me fall into my current appearance and made me unfortunate - it was you!!!"
The mother grabbed the girl's neck hard, and the girl in pain tried to break free, but the child's strength was too small.
The girl's eyes were filled with sorrow and prayer. No matter how hard a person is, he could not help but be moved by this.
"If only...if...I didn't give birth to you..."
Mom finally let go of the little girl's hand, and two crimson marks were streaking on her neck, and her tears fell on the little girl's cheeks.
It was not until this time that the girl began to sob with her.
"I'm sorry...Mom...I won't ask for anything again in the future..."
"I will never stop listening to you again, mom..."
"Please, mom..."
"Don't...don't cry anymore..."
"Mother……"
The mother was lying in the girl's arms and cried helplessly, while the girl who was almost cut off by her mother just now seemed to be coaxing a child, gently rubbing her back, holding her gently, and crying with her.
The two children choked and sobbed together. I don’t know how long it took, but it was so long that the girl had already sealed this memory into the deepest part of her heart.
Instead, there are many time spent with my grandfather.
And, now...
"Is that right... This is where you lived before."
Because Lu Xiaorou did not intend to say anything to Su Mo, Su Mo just followed Xiaorou's words, "Do you want to go there and have a look?"
"No..." Lu Xiaorou smiled and shook her head, "There is nothing over there."
yes.
There is nothing left.
Whether it is the twisted apartment building crowded together or the strange street, it has either become a construction site or has been rebuilt, the surrounding street scenes are no longer what Lu Xiaorou looks like in her vague memory.
"I want to buy something at a convenience store, Brother Su Mo."
"Okay, what to buy?"
"It's okay... Can you wait outside for a while? I can just buy it myself."
"Yeah... OK."
Su Mo nodded.
Lu Xiaorou stood in front of the glass door, and the automatic door stuck two or three times before slowly opening.
She walked into the convenience store, and the convenience store owner was looking around with a cell phone with relish, with a very satisfying and pleasant smile on her face.
It looks pretty good.
Lu Xiaorou stood in front of the freezer and searched for a while, then took out two boxes of yogri ice cream from the freezer.
This brand of ice cream is now the signature resident product of Mingxi convenience store. However, with the desolation of Mingxi convenience store chain, it is difficult to see it again. Perhaps it will soon become the tears of the times and the childhood dreams that the older generation of literary Han people have been thinking about.
Lu Xiaorou took two boxes of ice cream and came to the cashier. The boss put down his cell phone and absent-mindedly took the ice cream and scanned the code.
drop.
drop.
The boss glanced at the cashier's data and said, "It's 12 yuan in total..."
Lu Xiaorou took out her small wallet, took out a whole 100 yuan from it, and handed it to the boss with both hands.
"Charge you 100, find you 88--"
"No, no need!"
Lu Xiaorou waved her hand in a panic, "No need to look for it."
"Ah? What's wrong."
Are you giving fake money?
The boss flicked the red ticket in his hand.
Not really...
“Yes, because…”
Lu Xiaorou was already gentle in her words. When she was excited, she suddenly stuttered, "I posted a credit account here before, but I haven't paid it back. I just returned it to you."
"Credit? Our small business is never to others on credit, and there are records in the backend."
"Yes... it was a long time ago, and I haven't paid it back... In short, you just accept it."
“…”
Strange girl.
The boss looked up and down at Lu Xiaorou. He was an ordinary high school girl, and she didn't look familiar, nor did she look like a nearby resident.
"Okay."
The boss didn't say anything else and directly accepted the 100 yuan note.
Lu Xiaorou also nodded and bowed to the boss slightly.
"thank you."
