you are with the light

Chen Ke's grandmother is a woman in the old society, patriarchal, the son is to be held in the top of the heart, and the daughter is to be trampled on.Chen Ke has grown up to such an age, and only saw her once. A few years ago, she ran to their house, pulled Chen Wanran's hair and scolded her for shame.

But she didn't know that Chen Wanran had never studied, and before she had a job, she hurriedly sent her to marry someone to raise tuition for her son. The divorced Chen Wanran brought her physically handicapped son, who couldn't even eat.

"The shame is not caused by me!" Chen Wanran cried, "I want to eat, I want to wear, I want to raise a son, I want money everywhere, will you give me? Will you give me money?"

Chen Ke was still very young at that time, only in the second grade. He saw this farce when he came home from school. He didn't laugh, and he couldn't cry. He just watched the adults tearing each other up.

Grandma saw him when she walked to the door, and said disgustedly: "Little monster!"

He spit on his grandmother—he learned it from his classmates, who would spit on him, laugh at him, and tease him.

Chen Ke waved away the unpleasant memories, and asked Chen Wanran: "Why is she calling you?"

Chen Wanran sighed: "She has been in poor health for the past few years. Because your aunt had quarreled with your uncle several times, she called and said she would come to live with us."

"You also know that she is my mother. Without her, there would be no me," Chen Wanran said, "She is old now, do you think I, a daughter, can ignore her?"

Chen Ke said, "Did you agree?"

Chen Wanran nodded, and looked at Chen Ke flatteringly: "Son, if she said something unpleasant, don't take it to heart, old man, speak out loud..."

She is like this, she knows that her mother is partial to her younger brother, and knows that her mother doesn't love her, but if her mother asks her anything, she always agrees.

"Apart from wanting to live here, did she scold you?" Chen Ke looked at her, feeling a little irritable, but he suppressed her forcefully.

Chen Wanran nodded again.

"You agree, what else do I not want to do?" Chen Ke said, and he walked into the room while talking, "I'll sew your clothes on for you, so you go to bed early."

The town has been hot and stuffy for the past few days. When Mrs. Chen came, it started to rain.Mrs. Chen sent her son to the gate early in the morning. The distance of a few feet made her scold Chen Wanran: "You are heartless, you let your mother get wet, do you want me to die?"

Old Mrs. Chen had a mean mouth, and the words she said made people feel uncomfortable. The umbrella was clearly held on top of her head, so that she would not be exposed to the wind and rain, but she would scold her as if her daughter had neglected her.

Chen Wanran was fine, but it was Chen Ke who endured it, didn't hold back, kicked suddenly when walking past a puddle, and kicked the dirty water onto her pants.

"Oh!" Chen Ke yelled into Old Madam Chen's ear before she shouted, "I'm sorry, grandma!"

Mrs. Chen was taken aback by him, and clutched her heart, Chen Wanran glared at Chen Ke, and Chen Ke raised his voice and shouted, "Grandma, take off your trousers for me, and I'll wash them for you when you go back!"

"It's done, it's done, shut up." Chen Wanran said, "I'm afraid others won't know you are filial!"

After entering the corridor, Mrs. Chen came to her senses and cursed at Chen Ke again, cursing harshly and loudly: "You little monster, your heart is black, kick my pants with dirty water..."

Before the cursing was finished, the door on the right of the first floor was opened, and the old lady on the first floor yelled at her: "Shut up if you talk endlessly. Others have two eyes and one mouth, and you have one eye and two mouths, and you can talk all day long." I can tell you from the sky!" The sturdy old lady knocked on the crutch in her hand, and knocked on the aura of the world, "I don't know where the old thing came from, it was about to go to the ground and ran to my house Playing wild at the door, with a big mouth for fear that others will not know that you have two □ one for pooping and the other for being inserted, and if you make any noise, I will call the police and call the police, you bastard!"

Old Mrs. Chen was taken aback by the scolding. She took a deep breath and wanted to scold back, but she didn't have the nerve to do so. She blushed and didn't say a word.

The old lady on the first floor slammed the door after she finished swearing. The loud noise startled the old lady Chen, and muttered softly, "What the hell!"

When she got home, Mrs. Chen was picking and choosing the room. For a while, she felt that the floor was dirty and hadn't been wiped clean, and for a while, she thought the walls were not painted well. Finally, she pointed to Chen Wanran's room and said she wanted to live in this one.

There are two rooms in the house. Chen Wanran lived in the master bedroom, with a small balcony and better lighting than Chen Ke's room. It was no surprise that Mrs. Chen chose this room.But when she walked in and found that it was Chen Wanran's room, she yelled for Chen Ke's room again: "I don't want to live in your room, it's so dirty!"

Chen Ke said, "Then you go to sleep on the sofa."

Mrs. Chen raised her voice, a little in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Chen Wanran smoothed things over: "He's talking nonsense, you don't care what he says, kid..."

"Let me say," Chen Ke is only 12 years old and of medium height, but he is already at eye level with this little old lady, "I love you, keep rolling!"

"Oh!" Mrs. Chen's wrinkled face was so wrinkled that her facial features shrunk in. She pointed at Chen Ke with trembling hands, "Unfilial! Is this how you treat me?" She looked at Chen Wanran again, "You! It's all taught by you, huh? I said a long time ago that raising a daughter is worse than raising a dog! Now it's all right, I raised you, a white-eyed wolf!"

"Chen Ke!" Chen Wanran looked at her son with sharper eyes than ever before, "Apologize to grandma!"

Chen Ke poked his neck and looked at Chen Wanran, and Chen Wanran also looked at him. Slowly, Chen Wanran's eyes became moist, and Chen Ke reluctantly said, "I'm sorry."

Old Mrs. Chen made an inch of her head: "Apologizing perfunctorily like this? Your cousin is much better than you, and he is much more sensible. Look, this is the difference between having a father and not having a father, and being uneducated!"

Chen Ke was about to get angry, but when he saw Chen Wanran's eyes, he lowered his head again: "Grandma, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Mrs. Chen was reluctantly satisfied, and she took off the soiled trousers on the spot and asked him to wash them. Chen Ke put them into the water and pressed them twice before taking them out, but he didn't go out immediately, but stayed in the toilet again. It took a while to come out.

After drying old lady Chen's trousers, old lady Chen complained that she was hungry again. Chen Ke quarreled and served two dishes and one soup. Did you wash the green vegetables? I have gallstones, and it’s your mother’s money to pay for the broken ones! And this soup, I can hardly see the egg flower. Did you boil a bowl of water? ?”

Chen Ke didn't answer this time, and let the old lady scold him as much as she could, and when he finished eating, he put the bowl away, saying that he had invited his classmates out to play.

"Come back early." Chen Wanran said, "Be careful on the road, the road is slippery when it rains!"

Chen Ke took the umbrella and went out for a walk. He didn't make an appointment with his classmates and lied because he didn't want to stay at home.He turned around outside and went home, consciously or unconsciously looking at the closed door opposite, he hadn't seen the child inside these few days, thinking of the woman's smile last time, he always felt a little uneasy.

He stood at the door of his own house for a while, then walked to the opposite door and knocked tentatively.

He waited for a while, until the exposed calf was bitten several times by mosquitoes, but he didn't wait for the person inside to open the door.

He scratched his head and walked back.

When he entered the house, he began to feel irritable again.Old Mrs. Chen turned on the TV, and the volume was turned up so loud that he suspected that he would get deaf after listening to it for a long time.The door of Chen Wanran's room was open, and she was nowhere to be seen in the living room, so she probably went out.He held back the anger in his heart, and walked into his room, intending to keep out of sight.

"What are you doing!" Mrs. Chen looked at him and shouted, "Don't come into my room, get out! Get out!"

Mrs. Chen's voice is not low, it can overwhelm the human voice of the TV and can be heard clearly.Chen Ke gave her a middle finger, then walked in, and slammed the door shut.

Chen Ke didn't latch the door, so the old lady opened the door. Chen Ke sat on the bed and watched her come in coldly, watched her turn on the light, pointed to the door and said to him, "Go out."

Chen Ke lay on the bed without moving.

The old lady Chen became angry, she went up to pull Chen Ke, trying to drag him off the bed.Good guy, an old lady has a lot of strength, and her hands are also strong in pulling people. Chen Ke was caught off guard and almost let her pull her down.

"Little monster! Get out of here! You shameless thing, occupying my room! Get out! Get out!"

Chen Ke violently dragged her onto the bed. He broke free from her arm, stood up, and dragged her skinny hand away. Mrs. Chen shouted, "What are you doing? What are you going to do?"

Chen Ke didn't speak, he pulled old lady Chen out silently.Although he looked thin and small, he was strong enough. No matter how hard Mrs. Chen struggled and slapped, he didn't let go, and kept dragging her out of the door.

"Are you crazy! What do you want to do!" Amid old lady Chen's angry scolding, he closed the door.

Chen Ke felt a little hot on his body, he pulled his collar, and his whole body was a little excited, but his brain was extremely calm and clear at the moment.

He called Chen Wanran.

A man answered the phone, and he asked, "Are you..."

Chen Ke suddenly seemed to be poured cold water over his head, which made him feel a chill from the bottom of his heart, and his teeth chattered from the cold.

"I'm her son." Chen Ke's chest heaved violently, and he was almost speechless, "You let her answer the phone."

After a while, Chen Wanran's voice came from the receiver, and she said, "Son, what's wrong?"

"She said that she didn't want to see you today, she was upset, she finally fell asleep, she was clean, why don't you come back tonight."

Chen Wanran was silent for a while, then sighed: "It will be done."

Gu Jinbei stuck his head out of the window, some rain fell on his head and eyes, and then rolled down, like sweat and tears.

The air outside is very comfortable, with the smell of mud coming from nowhere in the coolness. Gu Jinbei likes to smell it very much. He feels that when he closes his eyes, he feels like he is running in the fields and mountains, with the sky as his cover The ground is the seat, unrestrained and carefree.

But now he is trapped in this house, like a ghost detained here, unable to step out of this house.

Xia Yin locked him up.

Maybe it was the brief disappearance that evening that frightened her. She waited for her stepfather to go out every day, and then chained him to the head of the bed, only letting him move around in this small room. She placed three steamed buns on the ground , and put a piss bucket on the side, so that he can live a little more decently all day long.

She is a careful woman, and Gu Jinbei knows that she can do many things so slowly and meticulously that even the police can't find her.

Gu Jinbei went back to the bed, he closed his eyes but couldn't sleep, he began to think about how to escape, he thought about it, and thought of Chen Ke, he thought, he is so pretty.

So his thoughts went astray like this, he thought about Chen Ke holding his hand and leading him to the river. I bought a popsicle.

The popsicle tastes very sweet, but Gu Jinbei likes it very much.He longed to eat it again, just once, even once.

He... wants to see Chen Ke.

Gu Jinbei opened his eyes, he heard footsteps coming from the living room, then the door was opened, and Xia Yin walked in.

"Mom." He called her.

Xia Yin opened the iron chain for him, and as soon as Gu Jinbei's hand could move, he hugged her.

"Mom." Gu Jinbei looked up at her, "I love you."

Xia Yin's expression loosened, she smiled, raised her hand to touch his head, and said, "Mom loves you too."

Gu Jinbei tentatively buried his face in her waist and said sullenly, "Can you...don't torture me."

When he said this, his palms kept sweating, and he wanted to tremble almost reflexively, but he stopped him: "Mom, I am your puppy, puppy likes sunshine, puppy wants to go out bask in the sun."

Xia Yin touched his head, her voice was very gentle: "Look up. Look at me."

Gu Jinbei held back his fear and looked up at her.

Xia Yin was smiling, she smiled and asked him: "Why do you want to bask in the sun?"

Gu Jinbei also smiled at her: "Because it's so humid and cold here, I'm afraid."

"Mom, I'm scared."

"Are you going to kill me?"

Xia Yin's smile disappeared.

"Don't kill me, okay? I'll always, always listen to you."

Xia Yin touched his head, and then slowly moved to his face. She held his face with an obsessive look on her face: "No way."

"You are so like him, no way."

Xia Yin said softly: "If you want to bask in the sun, mother promises you."

Chen Ke lay on the bed for a while, realizing that it had been a long time before he ran over to open the door.

The old lady sat with her back to the door, and Chen Ke called her, "Hello."

The sound of "Hello" seemed to turn on a certain mechanism, and the desolate old lady who was sitting on the ground just now was revived with full blood, jumping up and wanting to hit him.

Chen Ke caught her slap.

"My mother won't come back tonight." Chen Ke said.

Mrs. Chen looked at him angrily.

"There are kitchen knives in the kitchen." Chen Ke said again.

The old lady Chen's face became terrified in an instant. She looked at Chen Ke and shouted loudly: "Do you want to kill your grandma? Do you know that murder is against the law! You child is hopeless! There is no hope!"

"If I scratch my arm twice with a kitchen knife and tell my mother that it was you, do you think she will believe me?"

Mrs. Chen stopped talking.

"Do you want to come in? It's up to you if you don't come in to feed the mosquitoes, as long as you're happy." Chen Ke let go of her hand.

Old Mrs. Chen stared at him hard, wishing she could poke holes in him.

"The small balcony in my mother's bedroom is nice, and you can live there if you tidy it up." Chen Ke closed the door with a very casual tone, "You're from the countryside, why don't you get used to living there? There's so much to pay attention to, but it's nothing more than poor, talkative, study."
