Chapter 9 Pressure

Sure enough, my mother nodded seriously and said, "Your Aunt Qi herself is an orphan, and her dead husband is a lonely old man." Otherwise, they would not have sympathized with each other and united with each other. Now that their husband and wife have gone one after another, the daughter left behind is helpless and lonely in this world. Moreover, your Aunt Qi's daughter is blind and completely incapable of living alone. Relying on the relief of political axes and the help of well-wishers alone is not a long-term solution. So I thought it would be better to take her over and live in our house. Although our family is not a wealthy family, we still have the ability to support one more person. Your Aunt Qi has been my friend for many years, and I must take care of her daughter's affairs! Xiaoyong, let me ask you, do you support your mother in this matter? ”

At this moment, the innocent smiling face of a little girl has appeared in my mind. When I was young, Aunt Qi did often come to my house to visit my mother. Sometimes, she would bring her lovely daughter with her. I remember that this girl's name was Yingying, what her surname was, I don't know, I only know that she is about seven years younger than me. When Aunt Qi first brought her daughter to my house that year, I was already ten years old. And this little girl was not yet three years old at the time. Later, this little girl named Yingying came to our house several times, until I was fifteen years old, Aunt Qi's job changed and she took her daughter to live in another city. At this point, I have never seen this Yingying again, and I don't know what she looks like now.

Of course, I remember hearing my mom talk about the sudden blindness of this Yingying glasses, and that was three years ago, right? It seems that because of an accidental injury, her optic nerve was damaged, and she was almost permanently blind. For this reason, my mother also rushed over to visit her, and also traveled to many places for her. However, damage to the optic nerve is no more difficult to cure with surgery than damage to the cornea. So, no matter what my mother and Aunt Qi tried to treat her, her eyes still didn't improve.

I looked at my mother's determined eyes, and I already knew about the adoption of this Yingying, whether I agreed with it or not, my mother must carry it out. Of course, I don't mean to object in my heart. But now the actual situation in our family is that I am about to lose my job, and I am not sure if I will be able to find a job with good pay in the future. My mom retired from her food company last year, and she only has a retirement salary of 1,000 yuan a month. My sister and brother-in-law are only more financially strapped than we are. In order to save money, the family of three has to come to the house every night to eat. In other words, my mother's retirement salary actually has to solve the problem of eating for a total of five people in our family. And my salary, my mother never asked me for it. He said that he wanted me to save it for myself and use it to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. But in fact, after so many years of part-time work, I still have almost no savings. It's not that I'm usually lavish and spend money like water. On the contrary, I am a person who never adds a single piece of clothing all year round, if not necessary. Usually I smoke the Blue Mountains for three dollars a pack. The phones I use are still old-fashioned black and white screens that I bought four years ago. If I hadn't asked Sun Dong for help last night, I wouldn't have gone to any bar to drink. At most, buy some cheap bottled beer, and it's already moisturizing for me. Most of my money was actually secretly given to my sister. Their family is really difficult, and they have done almost everything to have their own house. However, no matter how hard life is, you can't be bitter for your children. My nephew Liangliang is so cute, I can't give anything else as an uncle, but let him eat a little good and wear a little warm, I am willing to give everything I have!

Raising one more person is not as simple as adding an extra pair of chopsticks. After becoming our family, then she is our responsibility! It is very difficult for a blind person to create any wealth. In her life, she is almost destined to stay at home and rely on the care of others to live. Since then, her food, clothing, housing and transportation have all immediately become a heavy burden for us. Maybe it's not obvious yet, but as time goes by, my mom will get older, and my nephew will grow up and start going to school. Elderly people are inevitably sick and frail, and they need our support and care. has just grown up, and it is necessary to spend a lot of money for him to become a talent. If my job is stable and my income is guaranteed, then I'm happy to do what we can. But now...... We're starting to have problems with self-protection, so how can we put on such an extra burden?

Seeing that I didn't say anything on the spot, my mother seemed to see a trace of hesitation in my eyes, and on the spot, her face was pulled down, and she said in a deep voice: "What? You don't support it? ”

I hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Support!" Who says I don't support it? It's just that...... Mom, Aunt Qi's daughter is here, where does she live? When my sister wasn't married, I slept in the living room all the time. If it weren't for the fact that our family was too small, my sister wouldn't have to buy a house outside and move out. Now that she's here, you're not going to ask me to sleep in the living room again, are you? ”

When my mother saw me say something, she finally smiled and said, "Sleep in the living room, what's the big deal?" You've been sleeping for more than ten years, can't you sleep for two more years? Besides, you are my son, how can I treat you badly? Yingying came, and I asked her to sleep in the same room with me. In this way, it is also convenient for me to take care of her. You, go ahead and enjoy your single room. ”

I groaned, I had nothing to say. At this point, it's useless for me to say anything more. I don't want to make my mom anxious by talking about my work so early. And even if I say it, with my mother's temper, this blind girl will still come back to live. It's not so much that it makes my mother a little more troubled, but it is better not to say it, but it can make her happy to do good things.

Alas! It's just that in this way, the pressure on me is even greater! For the sake of this family, and for us to live a more comfortable life, I have to find a stable and good job so that I can reduce the burden on my family and support the family's expenses. It would be nice if the company I worked for didn't go bankrupt, the company is small, but the income is still good. Not only has a certain amount of basic salary, but our salesman also has a commission for selling products. When I was good, I took more than 3,000 yuan a month. However, with the fierce competition in the market, our company's good life is not as good as day by day. Later, our boss failed to invest in a project and owed a large amount of foreign debt. In the end, I had to sell the company and hurt our employees.

My mom was overjoyed when she got my verbal support. At this time, she had already started to eat breakfast, and said to me while eating: "Xiao Yong, since you have agreed, then my mother will leave for City C today, help deal with your Aunt Qi's funeral, and then take Yingying back." After I leave, you can tell your sister about this matter and tell her not to come over for dinner for the next two nights, do you know? ”

I sighed and said, "Mom, don't you plan to ask your sister's opinion first, just tell her and it's over?" ”

My mother took a bite of the steamed bun, snorted softly, and said, "Don't you know your sister's surname?" Ask her for advice? What other opinion would she have besides opposition? Besides, she is already married and doesn't live here, so who is there to object to one more person in the family? ”

I had to touch my nose and be speechless again. Indeed, with my sister's surname, she would definitely be firmly opposed to my mother's idea. This has happened more than once or twice before. Instead of arguing first, it is better to cook raw rice and mature rice, so that my sister is helpless.

So, I had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll talk about it there, sister." But Mom, are you going to do it alone? With a blind woman, it will be very hard to come back all the way, no matter what, she must always bring some clothes for her to change, right? Otherwise, I'll be able to go, at least I can help carry things and take a little bit of your burden off the line. ”

My mother's eyes showed a hint of relief and pity when she looked at me. smiled slightly, and said softly: "No, you still have to go to work tomorrow." I'm going, it's going to take a few days, your work is not easy, but don't be sloppy. Mom doesn't ask you for any help, as long as you work hard and can save some money to marry a good daughter-in-law in the future, Mom will have no regrets in her life. ”

My heart was suddenly sour and astringent, and I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say for a while. When I was a child, I didn't know how to do anything to make my mother sad. When I grew up, I realized that my mother's love is as big as the sky! In this world, only parents treat their children with the most selfless and sincere feelings.

The grace of parenting cannot be repaid, Mom, don't worry, my son will work hard and make money in the future, so that you can live a happy life with our family!

ps: The cold is very serious, the nose is constantly runny, and the head is also groggy. I really can't write a lot, just a chapter of 3,000 words, so forgive me.
