MTL - Dressed As the Villain’s Mother-Chapter 65
He's gone, mom won't find him
Pei Jing looked at Pei Zhen in disbelief.
But Pei Zhen just repeated: "Pei Jing, this is Uncle Tao."
Pei Jing pursed his lips tightly, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, feeling betrayed, isn't this man a bad guy? He almost hit his mother last time, why did his mother let him call him uncle.
The man looked at Pei Jing, but smiled: "Your name is Pei Jing?"
Pei Jing didn't want to answer him, but Pei Zhen held his hand tightly: "Pei Jing, uncle is asking you something."
Pei Jing lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Yes."
"Pei Jing, be obedient."
Pei Jing's body was slightly stiff, thinking of what his mother told him before they moved, to be obedient and sensible, and he has been working hard to do it well.
Pei Jing bit her lip and called out in a low voice, "Uncle Tao."
"Okay." The man handed him a red envelope, "It's for you."
Pei Jing took it under Pei Zhen's signal: "Thank you, Uncle Tao."
"Pei Jing, go up and do your homework, don't come down if you have nothing to do." Pei Zhen said.
Pei Jing clenched the red envelope tightly, but was let go. He walked upstairs step by step, but stopped when he reached the second floor. He turned around and saw that his mother took the initiative to hug Uncle Tao.
Pei Jing knew that such intimate actions could only be done by husband and wife, but Uncle Tao was not his father.
Pei Jing can understand those words, does mother not know who his father is? Pei Jing thought of the uncle he saw in the mall that day. They looked alike, that uncle didn't know how to beat people, but that uncle already had a daughter.
Pei Jing didn't know why his mother took the initiative to hug Uncle Tao, since Uncle Tao treated her so badly last time.
But he was just a child and couldn't do anything. He closed the room. The sound insulation of the room at home was very good, and he couldn't hear the sound from outside. Pei Jing held the red envelope until the sweat in his palm was wet, and then he opened it. Inside are many one-hundred-yuan bills.
Pei Jing counted, there were two thousand yuan, his hands were loose and tight, he didn't want the money from Uncle Tao at all, but he knew how important money was to life.
It turned out that when I lived with my grandmother, I had to save 20 cents.
Pei Jing pursed his lips, and put the two thousand yuan together with the money Pei Zhen gave last time, as well as the original money. He carefully counted it several times, and it added up to more than three thousand.
He thought, if he went back with the money, would grandma still think he was a drag or a burden?
Pei Jing stayed alone in the room reading a book, fell asleep very late, and woke up in the middle of the night to hear a familiar voice talking.
"Why aren't you his child..."
Pei Jing woke up in a daze, and opened his sleepy eyes, only to find that the bedside lamp was on, and the light was dim, reflecting the figure standing beside his bed.
"Mom." Pei Jing recognized the person, and called out in a low voice, holding Pei Zhen's hand with his hand, his voice rustled softly, "Isn't Mom still asleep?"
"I'm going to sleep, I want to see you."
Pei Jing's head gradually cleared up. He was a little shy when he heard this sentence, and said in a low voice, "I can sleep by myself, mom doesn't have to worry."
Pei Zhen gave a light "um", raised her hand, and touched Pei Jing's hair.
Pei Jing blinked, and felt that his mother's head was very comfortable. He would see Aunt Si Tian touching the heads of Ning Yi and Zhi Le like this.
Pei Zhen sat in front of the bed, lowered her head quietly and closed her eyes, her silhouette was gentle and beautiful, far from before.
During this period of getting along, Pei Zhen's changes made Pei Jing's fear disappear a lot. He took the initiative to approach, sat down next to Pei Zhen, and asked in a low voice, "Is mom unhappy today?"
He is sensible and precocious, and Pei Zhen often doesn't treat him like a first-grade child. She said: "I got what I have been pursuing, but I have to give up some..."
Pei Jing thought for a while and asked, "Is the mother very reluctant?"
"I'm a bit reluctant now." Pei Zhen's face was a little sad.
Pei Jing said: "Then choose whichever one mom thinks is more important."
"I will always support my mother's decision to choose," he said.
Pei Jing felt that his mother was not very happy at the moment. He didn't know what his mother's choice was, but he had also experienced such entanglements. If someone could support him, no matter what choice he made, he would be very happy.
Pei Jing's thoughts at the moment are very simple, and he hopes that his mother will be happier.
Pei Zhen's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was slightly sandy: "Thank you Xiaojing."
Pei Jing blinked his eyelashes lightly. He felt that his mother tonight was so gentle, so gentle that he dared to ask questions that had been bothering him. He said softly, "Mom, who is Uncle Tao?"
Pei Zhen said: "Uncle Tao is the owner of the house we live in, and he let us live here."
Pei Jing knew that the place they lived in was very expensive and would definitely cost a lot of money, but he said, "Mom, can we stop living here?"
He said very seriously: "Uncle Tao is not good to you. We live in the original place. I spend very little money, and I will go out to pick up garbage and sell money. When I grow up, I will try my best to let my mother live in the same place." Such a house."
Pei Zhen said: "This is what he wants. Since he can live a good life, why not?"
Pei Jing knew that his mother refused. Even though he was young, he also knew that the sky would never fall, and his mother must have paid the price for living here, but his mother was unwilling, and he had no other choice. He was still too young.
"Where does Xiaojing want to go on the weekend the day after tomorrow?" Pei Zhen asked.
Pei Jing said: "It's fine in the community, Ning Yi and Zhi Le will be with me."
Pei Zhen said: "Change to another place, can you go to an amusement park? Mom never took you to an amusement park."
Pei Jing slightly raised his eyes and looked at Pei Zhen. Under the warm light, Pei Zhen's facial features were also soft. Pei Jingjing nodded: "Yes, thank you, Mom."
Pei Zhen stood up: "Go to sleep."
Pei Jing lay down and closed his eyes. The room still smelled of the perfume on Pei Zhen's body just now. It was faint and pleasant to smell. When his mother was not angry, hitting or swearing, Pei Jing found that he liked her.
He hopes that his mother can wait for him to grow up and fulfill the current promise one by one. He will study hard, work hard, and earn money hard.
When Pei Jing went to school the next day, he told Ji Ningyi that Pei Zhen was going to take him to the amusement park, and Ji Ningyi was very happy for him: "Have you decided which amusement park to go to?"
Pei Jing said no.
Ji Ning immediately recommended the ones he had been to: "There are a lot of fun there, and there are dance performances, which are very fun."
Pei Jing said, "Then I'll go there too."
"Pei Jing, does your mother still beat people now?" Ji Ning asked Pei Jing in a low voice.
Pei Jing shook his head: "No more."
Ji Ning laughed: "I'm really happy for you."
On Saturday, Pei Jing woke up early in the morning and changed into new clothes, which Pei Zhen bought for him. He even looked in the mirror after putting them on.
His mother would not buy clothes for him like grandma did. She would always buy a big set, saying that he could wear it in two years.
Pei Jing actually wanted to ask how grandma was doing now, but he didn't dare.
When Pei Zhen saw him, she smiled and said, "This suit suits you very well."
Pei Jing lowered his head and hummed softly, a little shy.
Today, Pei Zhen did not drive to the amusement park, but chose to take a taxi. There were many people in the amusement park on weekends. Pei Zhen held Pei Jing's hand and took him to play one game after another.
Pei Jing was full of energy, but he was worried that Pei Zhen would be tired, so he took the initiative to say: "Mom, let's take a rest."
Pei Zhen bought him a drink, and the mother and son sat on the small rattan chair in front of the decoction shop to rest. Pei Jing thought the drink was delicious but expensive, but he would not refuse it if his mother bought it. He came to a new city Afterwards, Pei Jing learned not to reject other people's kindness.
Seeing him obediently drinking his drink, Pei Zhen paused, then hurriedly looked away, and asked, "Xiaojing, do you know where grandma lives?"
Jing Pei nodded and said the address in full.
Pei Zhen took out a note with a string of numbers written on it, and told Pei Jing: "This is grandma's phone number. If you miss grandma, you can call her."
"Does grandma have a phone?" Pei Jing asked. It turned out that they had to go to the small shop in the town to make calls. It cost fifty cents a minute, which was very expensive, and they seldom made calls.
Pei Zhen nodded: "I bought it."
Pei Jing took the note and put it in his pocket very cherished. He missed grandma very much, but he didn't know how to contact grandma. Now it's all right, the two relatives around him are there, and he can talk to them.
He lives with his mother now, so he won't be a drag on his grandmother.
Pei Zhen took Pei Jing to play for a long time. They have played many items in the amusement park. The amusement park will not close until nine o'clock in the evening. You wait here for me."
Jing Pei nodded: "Mom, how soon will we go home?"
"Are you tired?"
Pei Jing nodded.
Pei Zhen said: "Sit down and have a rest when you are tired, and then go home after the meeting."
Pei Jing said obediently, "Okay."
Still holding the fruity drink that Pei Zhen bought, he sat on the bench and waited quietly.
He looks good, and he wore new clothes today. He looked like a sculpture of a little prince, neither crying nor fussing. There were staff members in doll costumes enlivening the atmosphere and taking pictures with other children.
The staff wearing the black and white bear doll spotted Pei Jing and saw him sitting there as a child, very well-behaved, so they walked over and asked, "Do you want to take pictures with me, kid?"
Pei Jing glanced at her and shook his head: "Thank you sister, no need, I have to wait for my mother."
"Where is your mother?"
Pei Jing said: "My mother went to the bathroom."
The black and white bear doll said: "But the bathroom is far away from here, you go and wait there, so that you can see your mother when she comes out."
Pei Jing looked in the direction the doll was pointing at. The lights in the distance were bright and colorful, like a dream. He looked away, rejected the dreamy place, and shook his head: "My mother asked me to wait here. I'm worried that she will come back. Can't find me."
"Okay." The black and white bear doll said, "Lucky kid, I will give you a magic wand."
The doll handed the small props for the children to Pei Jing, Pei Jing took it, and said in a low voice and sincerely: "Thank you, sister."
The doll deliberately walked away with funny steps, attracting many children to follow. Pei Jing followed his eyes for a long while, and then slowly retracted.
It was completely dark, but the lights in the amusement park were brilliant. Pei Jing raised his head and looked at the clock not far away.
It has been two hours since his mother left, he pursed his lips tightly, holding the drink bottle with one hand and the magic wand with the other, he sat quietly on the bench.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the amusement park was closed, and the staff on the radio said in a friendly voice: Dear children, it's time to say good night to everyone again, the amusement park is going to rest, and the children are going home to sleep...
Pei Jing didn't move, he never heard the voice he wanted to hear. It appeared twice on the radio today, so-and-so kid, your mother is looking for you, please ask Uncle Security, your mother is waiting for you at the radio station.
But there was no broadcast saying, little friend Pei Jing, your mother is looking for you.
The security guards began to check whether there were any missing people who hadn't gone out. Pei Jingming was sitting on the bench, but he was not found.
The street lights were turned off one by one, and the amusement park, which was bustling and dreamlike not long ago, was pitch black, like a nightmare.
Pei Jing sat quietly without making any sound, but his teeth were biting his lower lip, and his shoulders were trembling.
He already understood a lot, but he couldn't leave, his mother told him to wait here, if he left, his mother would not be able to find him.
