Chapter 333: Fortune Telling

Guo Dongyue was sitting in the taxi, holding the birdcage like a baby, and kept urging the driver, wishing to arrive at home immediately and show the red-faced parrot to his mother.

The taxi drove past the Embassy Street, and the church was still brightly lit. Many church members who had no time during the day had to brave the cold wind to come here at night. The teaching at night has a beauty that is very different from the daytime. If the daytime is solemn and solemn, then the nighttime is mysterious and distant, as if telling the unfathomable divine will.

After turning right into the old alley, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and pedestrians and vehicles suddenly became rare. I don't know how long it will be before the demolition of this old residential area. The surrounding neighbors are all looking forward to the demolition and becoming the second generation of demolition. Only he doesn't think so.

Once you leave this familiar street, familiar alley, familiar neighborhood, familiar residential building, and most importantly, the familiar home, the mother's memory will be like a kite with a broken string, and there will be nowhere to look for it.

It's just that demolition is the general trend, and the progress will never be delayed because of him alone.

While he was in a daze, the driver stepped on the brakes, and the taxi slowly stopped at the gate of the community.

"Is it okay to stop here? It's not easy to turn around inside." The driver master discussed with him.

Guo Dongyue wanted to ask him to drive downstairs, but when he saw the reluctance on his face, he decided to forget it. After all, he probably wanted to quickly pick up the car and go home to be with his family.

After paying the car fare, Guo Dongyue got out of the car with the birdcage in his hand, and put his coat over the birdcage, so as to resist the gusts of cold wind at night.

Walking into the dark corridor, he coughed, the light was not on, and the voice control switch was probably broken again.

With the light of his mobile phone, he carefully avoided the debris accumulated in the corridor, came to the door of the house on the second floor, and took out the key to open the door.

Immediately there were two completely different voices in the room, one was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama in the living room, and the other was Kunqu opera in the mother's bedroom, and the volume of the drama was much louder than Kunqu opera.

"Hey, Dongyue came back so late? I thought you wouldn't come back today. You don't have to come back so late. Aunt Bai is here to take care of you. Nothing will happen..." Aunt Bai got off the sofa with a guilty conscience Standing up on the bed, I turned the volume down a little, and the melon seeds on the ground creaked when I stepped on it.

Guo Dongyue didn't say anything, just nodded at her, and walked into his mother's bedroom.

The mother sat on the edge of the bed with her back to the door, and an old radio was placed on the table in front of her, and the beautiful voice of a famous Kunqu opera master was babbling from the speaker.

When he pushed the door and entered, his mother didn't respond at all and remained motionless. He didn't know if his mother was listening, or if he just wanted to use Kunqu opera to cover up the sound of the TV series in the living room.

"Mom, I'm back." He tried to call.

Mother still didn't respond.

He took off the coat from the birdcage, took off the cotton cloth that kept the birdcage warm, and handed the birdcage to his mother.

As if the ice and snow had melted in spring, my mother's dull face suddenly moved, and then she smiled, "Xiao Zi, Wan Dou Huang, where have you been? I have been looking for you for a long time, for a long time..."

She took the birdcage with both hands, without taking a look at Guo Dongyue who was close at hand.

Guo Dongyue was a little sad, but his mother was able to laugh, which already made him feel very happy.

"Xiao Zi, Wan Dou Huang, you have to be good, don't bark, Dongyue is studying next door, don't disturb him." Mother said to them in a low voice.

Xiao Zi tilted her head to look at her, then looked at Guo Dongyue who was standing aside, and suddenly said, "Please sit down."

Pea Huang also echoed, "Huang Ying."

Guo Dongyue was stunned for a moment, but still stood there without moving.

"Please sit down."

"dissolute."

Xiao Zi and Wan Dou Huang kept repeating to him.

Mother's neck moved, and she twisted stiffly and slowly toward him, looking up into his face.

Hope rose again in Guo Dongyue's heart, although he knew it was impossible, his mother had already forgotten his face, and next she would probably ask who are you and why did you break into my house?

result,

The mother just smiled gently, "Did Xiao Zi and Wan Dou Huang know you? Look at my memory, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things recently... Please sit down."

Guo Dongyue slowly sat on the edge of the bed, Xiao Zi and Wan Dou Huang stopped talking repeatedly.

The mother looked at his face curiously, "Who are you? Why do Xiao Zi and Pea Huang know you? I've never taken them out, so they probably don't know anyone else."

Guo Dongyue hesitated again, should he explain in vain that he is your son as usual, or should he just talk like Zhang Zian and make up an identity to make her happy?

At this moment, Xiao Zi spoke again: "Dongyue! You have grown up!"

Pea Huang echoed: "Grow up, make a date!"

Just like before, Xiao Zi and Pea Yellow kept repeating, faithfully implementing the speech strategy Richard taught them.

Repeat over and over again.

Language is the deepest memory, and it will not be forgotten until death, because it is repeated countless times every day.

The mother stared at his face, "Did I meet you somewhere? Do you know that child Dongyue?"

Guo Dongyue nodded, "Yes, I've been watching him grow up, do you want to hear what happened when he grew up?"

Mother smiled, "You are really interesting, Dongyue is still a child, how do you know what will happen to him when he grows up?"

"I can tell fortunes, and I have always been very accurate. Anyway, you have nothing to do now, do you want to listen?" He said with a confident smile on his face.

Mother shook her head, "I don't believe in fortune-telling unless you have a way to prove it."

Guo Dongyue knew that she was never a superstitious person.

"Okay, then let me tell you something that only you and Guo Dongyue know." He thought for a while, "By the way, he will become an architect."

Mother was taken aback, "How do you know that kid wants to be a designer?"

"Because I can tell fortunes." He laughed, "Do you still remember that day, when you came back from shopping with him, the rain suddenly poured, and you ran to the church to shelter from the rain, you looked at the dome of the church and said, really It's beautiful, and he said unconvinced, what is this, when he grows up, he will build a more beautiful big house for you to live in, and he will never live in this small and dark broken apartment..."

"I remember, I remember!" Mother's tone suddenly became agitated, "But how did you know?"

Guo Dongyue smiled but did not answer, "I know another thing, one that only you know."

"What only I know?" she responded defensively.

Guo Dongyue pointed to the two red-faced parrots in the cage, "I know you taught them to speak at home after Guo Dongyue went to school, and I know what you are teaching them to say."

"It's impossible!" She shook her head resolutely, "I don't believe it!"

Guo Dongyue choked with sobs and said, "That's the "Wandering Zi Yin" that Guo Dongyue recited to you on your birthday when he was very young. Even he himself has forgotten it, only you remember it firmly."

The expression on the mother's face is complex, doubt, joy, hesitation... All kinds of emotions are intertwined, she seems to want to cry, but also seems to want to laugh.

When Xiao Zi and Wan Dou Huang heard the keyword "Wandering Zi Yin", they immediately reacted.

"Mother hands line, wandering clothing.

Departure thick seam, meaning fear of delay in return.

Whoever says the grass-inch heart will get three Chunhui. "

They recited in unison, and their pronunciation was clearer and more accurate than any sentence, even Pea Huang, who was always illegible, obviously had practiced many times.

The mother kept swallowing her saliva, and her fingers tightly grasped the sheets, wrinkling them.

"Why do you know? How do you know?"

Guo Dongyue stood up, stretched out his hand to her, and said with a smile: "I know another thing. The big house that Dongyue built for you is almost finished, but he is worried that you will be attached to the old house and refuse to leave. Do you want Don't want to go and see?"

The mother stared at his hand, and after a while, she hesitated to reach out and hold it, and looked up at him, "I want to be with Dongyue, I will go wherever he is."

"Okay, let's go then."

Guo Dongyue helped her stand up from the bed, put on her clothes, scarf and hat, and she picked up the birdcage with her free hand.

"Is it far?" she asked.

"Not too far." Guo Dongyue said with a smile, "There is also a pet shop nearby. Dongyue always goes there to play recently."

"I also like pets, especially birds." She said longingly.

He pulled his mother out of the bedroom and across the living room.

Aunt Bai was eating sunflower seeds, looking at them suspiciously, "It's so late, where are you going?"

Guo Dongyue said to her seriously: "You are off work."
