After Li Xiufen finished her work, she put the four meat, two vegetables and six dishes on the table, and brought a bottle of wine and a pack of cigarettes and put them on the table, before calling her son to come over for dinner. Shen Yupan said, bring it to the counter and eat. Li Xiufen disagreed, closed the door of the store, and the two of us had a good meal upstairs to save being disturbed. Shen Yupan had a premonition that something was happening, but he couldn't guess it, so he had to close the door of the store and turn around and go upstairs. When he got upstairs, he saw the furnishings on the table, and then saw his mother's face solemn, sitting in a precarious position, and couldn't help but be stunned and said, Mother, which one is this singing?Li Xiufen pointed to the right position and said, Yu Pan, you come here to do it, my mother has something to say to you.
Shen Yupan was frightened by this situation and quietly sat down under his mother. Li Xiufen looked at him, then pulled him up and said, Yu Pan, my mother said, you must sit in the right seat today. Shen Yupan had no choice but to sit in the right position, wondering, mother, what is this for, isn't it the same wherever you sit?Li Xiufen shook her head and said, Yu Pan, this position used to be sat by your father, but now that you are older, you should also sit in this position. Shen Yupan looked at his mother a little helpless and looked panicked. Li Xiufen opened the wine bottle unhurriedly, poured a glass of wine for her son, and poured half a glass for herself. Then he raised his glass and said, Yu Pan, when you grow up, you will have to rely on yourself in the future, and my mother will touch one for you.
Shen Yupan raised the wine glass and put it down, and said honestly, mother, what do you have to say, you say it, it's like this, my son can't afford it. Li Xiufen said majestically, Yu Pan, drink the wine, and the mother will tell you again. Shen Yupan was helpless, so he had to raise his glass and take a sip, Li Xiufen picked up the cup and wet her lips, and said, Eat vegetables, how about tasting the craftsmanship of the mother?Shen Yupan couldn't guess his mother's intentions, so he took a bite of the dish, mother, you just have to say it, otherwise, I won't be able to eat it. Li Xiufen thought about it, okay, Yu Pan, I just said it. People say eighteen years old and adult, you're nineteen this year, and you're already an adult, right?
Shen Yupan nodded and said nothing. Li Xiufen said earnestly, it has been more than ten years since my father died, and my mother has worked hard to finally raise you. You have grown up, and your mother is almost old, and you can see that there are a few white hairs on her head. Yu Pan, Kai Niang is a person, an ordinary woman, it is impossible to follow you for a lifetime, you yourself have to start a family, now, you sit in the position where your father used to sit, what does it mean?It means that you are the head of the family, and you must know how to take responsibility. Shen Yupan looked at his mother as if he didn't understand, pondering, guessing what his mother was going to say next.
Li Xiufen continued, in fact, you should also understand that it is not easy to be a mother, and she has always had a double responsibility. One is the responsibility to raise you, and the other is the responsibility to support your grandmother and grandfather. The mission on your side, my mother is basically completed, the yard is guarded for you, and this family business is all yours. But Grandma and Grandpa are getting old and still need me to take care of them, but you know, Grandma and Grandpa are incapable women and can't take care of Grandma and Grandpa at all, so my mother wants to find someone to help me take care of them. Yu Pan, my mother told you this, can you understand?
Shen Yupan listened, listened, and quietly his face was already gloomy, and he didn't have a good airway, I understand, don't you just want to get married?Li Xiufen watched the change in her son's face, and simply said, yes, my mother is going to get married, I think what I have done is worthy of my father and the Shen family. I can't be lonely for a lifetime, I also need happiness and someone to take care of me, I have this freedom and right, I don't want to be bound. Shen Yupan didn't say anything, took out a cigarette and lit it, and then said sadly, Mother, do you think this will work, you and my grandmother and grandfather, I will support you in the future, I just want to say one thing, can you not get married?
Li Xiufen shook her head helplessly, and said with a wry smile, Over the years, you should understand that Grandma and Grandpa also want me to remarry, why?Because they are afraid that I will be wronged, that I will not be happy, just as I always care about you. My mother has long had the idea of remarrying, but you are young, but my mother wants to guard this family business for you. Yu Pan, do you remember, you once said why can't your mother leave a man?My mother is very sad, but my mother still has to tell you that yes, my mother can't do without men, because if there is no man in a family, it is undoubtedly like half the sky has collapsed. The mother is an ordinary woman, and she can't support it alone. My mother is forty years old, and she can live for a few decades?You said. Why can't my mother find her own happiness?Shen Yupan was smoking, his hands were trembling constantly, Li Xiufen continued, my mother has this plan, it's not a year or two, some things, you know, can't hide from you at all. Now that you have grown up, your mother doesn't want to hide it, no matter what you think, your mother has already decided. In good conscience, your mother is worthy of anyone, including your dead father. My mother also thought about it carefully, if you think you can be self-reliant and keep this store, then you will continue to operate. If you are worried that you will not be able to keep it, then give the store to Uncle Kai's family, let them pay the rent, and take care of you to marry a wife and have children. I also read it, no matter what the character of Uncle Kai's family is, at least it is good for you.
Shen Yupan threw away the cigarette butt and said sadly, Mother, you can't help but get married, I have promised, you and my grandma and my grandfather will be supported by me, what are you worried about?Besides, I don't want to give the store to anyone else at all, and we still live like this, can't we do it?Li Xiufen felt sad for a while, shook her head and said, No, you don't understand now, I believe you will understand slowly. Shen Yupan looked at his mother, almost begging, Mother, as long as you continue to stay in this house, even if you continue to steal men, your son will pretend not to know, do you think it's okay?
Stealing a man, these three words undoubtedly pricked Li Xiufen's nerves, is she willing to steal a man?The reason why she is committed to perfection is, in the final analysis, not because she still cares about her son?In the eyes of her son, what has she become?Watery poplar woman?How could he see himself like that?Li Xiufen knew that it was difficult to argue, and at the same time she didn't want to argue, she held back her anger and said, Yu Pan, whatever you think, just know it in her heart. As long as you agree, you can do anything, and if you need your mother's cooperation, your mother is naturally duty-bound. It's good that our mother and son have a game, and my mother can be regarded as benevolent and righteous!
Shen Yupan hated and said, Mother, my son's words have been said about this, if you still don't agree, it seems that you want to force your son to death. Li Xiufen couldn't help laughing miserably, Yu Pan, the rhetoric of three from the four virtues is understood by the mother, the father is not married, the husband is married, and the husband is the son, but the times are different, and the mother wants to control her own destiny. People live, that is, decades of things, my mother doesn't want to leave regrets, I don't want anyone to bind my mother with the old thoughts. In the eyes of the mother, the archway of chastity is purely harmful, and the truth and freedom of life are the real happiness.
Shen Yupan said impatiently, Mother, you said a thousand things and ten thousand, today's meal is a loose meal?Li Xiufen was cold for a while, but she still said patiently, Yu Pan, no matter what you think, Qi Niang will not let go. I hope you think about it from your mother's point of view, it's been almost 20 years, and your mother has paid everything she should have paid, you don't want your mother to be depressed and unhappy in the rest of her life, right?Shen Yupan said, are you going to marry Zheng Cripple?Li Xiufen felt that the three words of Zheng Cripple were very harsh, but she decided not to care, but said patiently, Yu Pan, you must learn the minimum respect when you are a man, Uncle Zheng is a good person, I don't like you to call him that. Shen Yupan said disdainfully, a cripple is a cripple, I don't understand, won't you find a good one?Li Xiufen thought to herself, if you hadn't been in the way, Kai Niang would have married Zhang Yunmin a long time ago, but everything has passed, and she has already recognized Bichang, so she will not change. Li Xiufen had to be patient and said, let me ask you, do you want to listen to others open their mouths and shut up and shout Widow Li?Shen Yupan said hurriedly, who dares to call you like this in front of me?I was the first to spare him. Li Xiufen smiled bitterly and said, if the mother is a widow, she is a widow, if people don't say it in person, won't they say it behind their backs?People call me a widow, you don't want to, you call Uncle Zheng lame, do you think he feels good?You're just sprinkling salt on someone's wound, you know that?
Shen Yupan pulled her hair frantically, looking miserable, Li Xiufen looked distressed, but the matter had come to this point, so she had to continue, I know that you feel sorry for your mother, and you think that he is not worthy of me, in fact, if you think about it, you are forty years old, it is impossible to pick and choose, not to mention that I think Uncle Zheng is a good person, at least he is very good to me, and Grandma and Grandpa also agree. Yu Pan, you have grown up**, it's time to put yourself in your mother's shoes and think about it. Shen Yupan said bitterly, mother, my son doesn't know what to say, can you wait any longer.
Li Xiufen shook her head and said helplessly, Yu Pan, my mother will tell you the truth, my mother is pregnant, I can't wait any longer, and time doesn't allow it, have you thought about it?How inappropriate it is for a mother to hold on to her stomach and be a widow, at least it is unfair to you. Shen Yupan looked at his mother with a distorted face, gritted his teeth and said, did Zheng lame do it?That old thing won't die well. Li Xiufen laughed miserably, no matter whose child it is, it is all voluntary by the mother. The mother will not regret it, to put it bluntly, this is the right and freedom of the mother to pursue happiness.
Shen Yupan raised his wine glass and drank it all, his face full of pain and confusion. Li Xiufen didn't want to see her son like this, so she lowered her head and continued, everything that my mother should have said has been said, you are going to find trouble with Uncle Zheng, and the relationship between our mother and mother will be broken. After Li Xiufen said this, she was very sad in her heart, but she had to say this, she couldn't leave a little thought for her son, otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be ruthless. Shen Yupan was also shocked by his mother's words, and looked at his mother blankly, looking completely disbelieving. Li Xiufen didn't say anything more, and the two of them were silent, silent.
Li Xiufen knew that her son was fighting fiercely in his heart, and the matter had been clarified, so she calmed down. The table of dishes in front of him almost didn't move, and neither of them was in the mood to move chopsticks. After a long time, Shen Yupan said bitterly, Mother, my son can't accept it, it's too sudden, are you really so ruthless, leave your son alone?Can you stay?Li Xiufen shook her head, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, Yu Pan, I thought about it, I just stayed, what should I do if I give birth to a child?If it's a girl, it's fine, if it's a boy, who do you think this yard should belong to?Uncle Kai doesn't care?Forget it, Yu Pan, long pain is better than short pain.
Shen Yupan roared in pain, kicked over the table in front of him, cups and plates shattered, and vegetable soup splashed Li Xiufen's shoes and trouser legs. At this moment, Li Xiufen's heart was like a knife, she was not angry, nor did she reprimand her son, but her heart ached. In the end, Li Xiufen said lightly, Yu Pan, I know you can't accept it at once, but there is no turning back when you open the bow, and there is no way back for your mother. Li Xiufen let out a long breath and said, Yu Pan, I look at it like this, you are not too young, think about it, my mother will go back to Grandma's house for two days. When you figure it out, go over to me, what should be done by my mother, my mother will do it.
After Li Xiufen finished speaking, she went to the corner and picked up a broom and began to clean the room. Shen Yupan reached out and picked up the cigarette on the ground. Li Xiufen wanted to persuade her son to smoke less, but she still didn't say anything. Before leaving, Li Xiufen looked at her son, Shen Yupan also looked at her, her eyes were full of pain and contradictions, Li Xiufen sighed secretly, packed a few clothes, and rode away on a motorcycle. On the way, Li Xiufen knew that it would be too cruel for her son to do this, but did she still have a choice?What should be faced must be faced in the end. Let's calm down, I hope my son can figure it out.
