The father quickly walked to the kitchen door and saw his mother and wife sitting in the kitchen network father standing in front of them:

"Mom, you don't have any money on you. I'll lend me five hundred dollars first. I'll pay you back if I win."

Grandma looked at her father in surprise:

"I've spent all my money. Isn't it all bought after staying so many things? Where can I get the money?"

The father looked at his mother again:

"Zhang Hua, lend me some, and I will pay it back to you if I win."

When my mother saw that her grandmother was present, her father might be more at ease, so she took out her own pocket:

"Look, where did I get the money? You ask me every day for money to bet. You say you will pay me back if you win, and when will you pay me back? I really don't have money to give you. If you don't believe me, you can search it yourself."

Seeing his mother's reaction, his face immediately changed, and he stared at his mother:

"Do you have it? I'll ask you again?"

Mother put her head to another place:

"If you say nothing, you don't have it. If you don't believe it, you can search it yourself. I'll show it to you. I really have no money!"

The father walked over to his grandmother and rushed to his side to grab his mother's hair. The grandmother hurried forward to stop his father, but his father was too strong and he broke away from his grandmother's hand. He grabbed his mother's head and slapped her, and then dragged her mother to the fire place on the stove:

"You pretend to me? Don't think I don't know you have money. I know if you hide it. You still pretend to have no money. Do you think I, Xu Minfeng, are you a fool?"

My father was about to slap his mother, but my grandmother quickly grabbed her father's hand:

"Minfeng, you can't be like this. She is your wife. This family has become like this. You have to treat your wife and children like this. How can you live this life?"

The father shook his grandma with a staggering force:

"You don't have to take care of our family's affairs? You're done with it. Don't leave quickly after you finish it. Don't get in the way here!"

Then, another slap hit my mother in the face. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ran to my mother:

"Dad, stop hitting mom, if you want to hit me, just hit me."

When my father saw it, he stared at me, slapped me with his backhand, then picked me up and threw it on the ground:

"You are also crazy. It's your turn to take care of this matter! Your mother is my wife, so I can't do it if I hit her a few times!"

Mother sobbed and lowered her head:

"Xu Minfeng, don't forget that we two have divorced. Now I am no longer your wife. If you do this again, I will call the police. Don't think you are doing something good now. I can sue you to the court and I will let you live a life of peace!"

The father sneered and slapped his mother in the hair again:

"You Zhang Hua is capable now, right? You call the police. You go and report it. Do you think this looks good? Let others see what our family looks like. You are from Sichuan, I know. I will ask your relative to beat me and ask your brother-in-law to come together. I won't say anything else. If you make me feel bad, I will make you feel better!"

When grandma saw that her mother was successful, she quickly begged for mercy to her father:

"Okay, okay, Minfeng, don't beat Zhang Hua anymore. I'll go out and borrow five hundred yuan for you. Can you let Zhang Hua go?"

My father let go of my hand that grabbed my mother's hair and sat next to the dining table waiting for my grandmother to go out to borrow money. It was very cold outside, sobbing from the ground. I got up from the ground and walked to my mother's side, watching her bury her head between her legs and sobbing. My father sat on the dining table and took a sip of the rice wine in the steel glass and lit a cigarette.

I didn't dare to look back at my father, for fear of hitting him and being beaten up, so I could only stand next to my mother silently, and I don't know if she could feel my company. Grandma came back in about ten minutes after she went out, hung her coat outside the door and walked in, holding five hundred yuan in her hand:

"I just went to the front to borrow five hundred yuan for you, and I'll pay it back tomorrow. Take it, don't hit Zhang Hua. I haven't lived a good life since I followed you, and you're still doing this to others. She's not here for your children and for this family. How could your children treat her like this?"

My father didn't want to continue listening to grandma's bored nagging anymore, so he took the money and rode his motorcycle and left.

After seeing his father leave, grandma walked to her mother:

"Zhang Hua, it's really a pain for you to follow this child."

My mother finally couldn't help crying:

"Since I came to this family, I have been busy taking care of this family, and I have never tasted any sweetness in him. I really regret how I married him and I really regretted giving birth to my whole life. Look at how he treated me every day. He used all the money I earned with hard work to gamble. I didn't beat and scold me. At that time, no one in our family agreed to this marriage, and I regret it now."

Grandma looked at her mother and thought for a while:

"Otherwise, come with me. Although I don't want to see this family scattered, I can't bear to continue suffering, my miserable daughter-in-law will continue to suffer. In this way, you will follow me to stay at my parents' house for one night. Then follow me tomorrow and go to our city to find a job. You and your mother and son live together. You are suffering so much grievances in this family, Zhang Hua, you see."

The mother looked up at grandma:

"I have no objection. I just follow me to live a hard life in the future. I don't know if he wants it or not."

Grandma looked back at me:

"Pingping, what do you think?"

I spoke without thinking:

"I have no objection. If I can be with my mother, it will be delicious to eat vegetables."

Grandma nodded:

"What a good kid. Then you guys clean up and follow me to my parents' home later. I will come to inform Minfeng tomorrow morning."

The mother frowned:

"What if he chases him, he can do it."

Grandma waved her hand:

"Don't worry about this. That's my parents' home. He dare not chase him. What he fears the most are those uncles, don't worry."

My mother wiped my tears and took me upstairs to clean up all the things they needed. Then, before my father came back, grandma and mother took me with my luggage to her hometown.

That day, only my uncle's house was still open, so we spent the whole night using his daughter's room. My mother slept on the floor and my grandmother and I slept on the bed. That night, I was supposed to be sleeping in my grandmother's arms, but I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I was afraid of the familiar sound of motorcycles outside the door. Whenever a motorcycle drove by, I thought my father was chasing me, but I didn't see my father until the next morning.

My mother and I were eating breakfast made by my aunt, and my grandmother rode my bicycle to my father to explain it to him. From then on, my heart that had just been relieved was suspended again, for fear that my father would chase after him after he learned the news, and then grabbed my mother and I back and beat him up.

I saw my grandma riding a bicycle back to my uncle's door alone, and no one followed behind me. I watched her get off the bicycle and my mother and I looked at her with anticipation, and she sighed:

"Minfeng said, Zhang Hua, you can walk alone, but you can't walk alone."

After hearing this news, I turned around and looked at my mother, whose eyes were filled with helpless tears.

"It's okay, mom, go, follow grandma, you must take good care of yourself."

My mother lowered her head and hugged me:

"Child, my good child. Mom is useless. I can't take you with me. Mom may not be able to come back after leaving this time. You must be careful with your dad and never learn bad things."

I nodded and held back my tears. I was worried that my mother would stop leaving because of me. I raised my head and took my mother's hand off my shoulder:

"Okay, mom, please leave quickly. When dad chases you, you won't be able to leave."

My uncle's car had already stopped at my uncle's door and urged my mother to leave. I helped my mother move her luggage to the car. At this time, I could only feel reluctant and blessings in my heart. Grandma took my mother into the car. I watched their car start and then leave. When it was almost time to get to the corner, my mother rolled down the window and stuck her head out:

"Pingping, you must take good care of yourself!"

I waved to her. When my uncle saw that they left, he pushed out the electric car at home and took me home. I sat in the electric car, feeling uneasy. When I got home, I saw my father lying on the bed. He must have drunk a lot of wine yesterday and breathed heavily. I tiptoed into my room and closed the door. My father seemed to have noticed that I was back and did not open his eyes:

"Pingping, you're back."

"I'm back."

"Have your mom gone?"

"Um."

Next, my father didn't say anything anymore. I silently closed the door and threw the clothes I had packed yesterday on the floor of the room.

My father did not make things difficult for me that day, nor did he ask my mother where he went. He just went out very early and didn't come back very late. When he came back, he was already full of alcohol again.

That night, I looked at myself in the mirror and tried hard to squeeze a smile. The expression looked very similar to what Yang Zhuo looked like at that time.

The next day, I learned that my mother had left the grandmother came earlier, so I sighed when I saw me, but didn't say much. I put on my clothes and watched me finish breakfast and sent me to school. That day, because my mother left and cried all night, I saw Yang Zhuo, who was also red and swollen in his eyes.

The two looked at each other and couldn't smile at each other.

Unlike me, the classmates who learned that Yang Zhuo’s family had divorced all went to comfort Yang Zhuo, which made me very envious. Perhaps it was at that time that I realized that I was not popular, but Yang Zhuo was not willing to pay attention to those false comforts. As soon as the get out of class came, he walked to my desk:

"Let's go, accompany me out for a walk."

I was originally a person with very few friends at school, and Yang Zhuo was my best friend. I was willing to accompany him no matter what I was busy with, no matter what I was with him.

Yang Zhuo asked me to go out for a walk, but it was really just a walk. We were walking slowly around the playground side by side. Ten minutes of courseware was not enough for us to finish the round. He occasionally looked at the ground and sighed, occasionally looking at the sky with red eyes trying not to let his tears fall.

He doesn't want to say it, and I don't dare to ask.

During the nap class, Yang Zhuo told the teacher that he couldn't sleep. The teacher walked up to me and asked me if I wanted to sleep. I shook my head. So, Yang Zhuo and I were consented to do what I wanted to do in the playground outside. Yang Zhuo had ADHD and sat with him. He always liked to pull out the grass here and pinch the flowers there.

He basically had a bitter face, but occasionally he would look at the ground and sneer a few times. I could never find the look he used to be. I always had a feeling in my heart that I would never see that look again.

During the afternoon class, I watched Yang Zhuo go from being plain to being red, to being held back by him, and then to being red. I really wanted to reach out to give him a hug, but I was afraid that the atmosphere of the two boys would be a little awkward. Until the end, I couldn't do anything to help him, but I just sat beside him and accompanied him.

When the nap bell rang, he looked at me:

"On Saturday morning, we will meet again in school and I will take you to my house for fun. If you feel bored in the future, you can come to me to play. You are my best friend, the best friend."

I was moved by Yang Zhuo's words and his helpless eyes, and even for a moment the tip of my nose felt a little sore. Two people who had just lost each other's mother, two hearts with the same needs collided together. That kind of relationship is not a question of heroic brotherhood, but their facial features are romantic, but they both felt that they could move each other. What moved me was that he regarded me as his best friend, and what moved him was that at this time, I was the only one who gave him the company he wanted most.

That day, Yang Zhuo became the first person to ask me to go out to play but didn't let me go. He appeared at the school gate on time, and even came earlier than me. When I walked to his house and realized that his house was so far away from my house, I felt a little guilty, and he took me to his house with a smile.

Their house is not big, it is smaller than the courtyard, but fortunately there is a large field at the door and a stream, which gives people a fresh and natural feeling when you go out.

His father went out to work early in the morning because he had to take care of him. His grandmother was the only one at home. When his grandmother saw me, she couldn't stop smiling. I don't know if it was because I was funny or if he thought I was a good child. He took me around and got familiar with the environment.

I still remember him standing at the highest point of the train bridge and looking at me and saying:
Chapter completed!
