Chapter 48 Secret

In the middle of summer, large areas of red clouds burned the sky and simmered out red clouds. As night approached, the ancient town became much more purified.

Yang Zhi sat in the uneven stone yard, with her mother combed her dense and black hair behind her.

The long hair poured down like a black waterfall.

"Mom, please help me with a dreadlock."

The mother put down the comb and said in surprise: "Didn't you like this kind of braid before?"

"I think it looks pretty good now." Yang Zhi pursed his lips: "I have seen some people in the city, and they also wear such braids."

They are all friends of Kou Xiang, some rappers with very unique personality, wearing these seemingly unusual braids.

My mother had already picked up the rope, skillfully stroking her hair, and braided her a few braids: "Don't have too many, just a few, it looks a little bright, but it's not out of line, it's perfect."

"Um."

My mother has always been gentle and especially doesn't like extreme things. Yang Zhi inherited her mother's traits and looked soft and obedient, but there was something in her heart that was suppressed and ready to move, eager to tear the film of peace and long to break out of the cocoon.

"Mom, I want to tell you a secret."

The mother gently stroked a strand of hair into a circle and wrapped it around her fingertips, and then rewind it between the other strand of hair.

"Are you still secrets in your heart when you go to the city?"

"It's a secret." Yang Zhi nodded: "I haven't told anyone about it before. I'll keep it back and tell it to my mother."

The mother sat next to Yang Zhi: "What's the secret? Tell me about it."

Yang Zhi's face turned red: "I have someone I like."

"No wonder, it's different when you get off the car and look from afar. It turns out that our little Zhier has grown up."

Yang Zhi angrily said to his mother: "Mom, what did you say? It's so stingy."

The mother smiled and said, "There is a person hidden in her heart, and she looks different."

"What's the difference?"

"Beautiful, can dress up, and is confident."

Yang Zhi smiled: "Is it an illusion."

The mother asked quickly, "Is it a classmate? What kind of boy?"

Yang Zhi looked up and saw a few sparse stars flashing in the dark blue night sky. Her heart was peaceful and her face was covered with a layer of soft tones.

"He looks fierce, but he treats me very well. He is cold and heart-warming, and he can't hide it. Others are afraid of him, but I think he is stupid."

The mother looked at Yang Zhi like this and lengthened her tone and said, "Wow, I'm really in love."

Yang Zhi really couldn't stand the way the previous generation said: "Don't say it's so disgusting, you're all goosebumps."

"What's so disgusting about this? You young people just don't understand romance."

Yang Zhi smiled: "Yes, I don't understand romance, I'm still a baby."

"Zhier, it's a good thing to have someone you like, but you can't lose yourself because of this, do you understand?"

"I know, I won't."

She will never lose the most sincere thing because of love. It is the source of her courage and the only thing she can guide forward in the long night.

"But" Yang Zhi changed his mind: "No one except his mother treats me better than him."

Her eyes were tender and gentle, and she said to herself: "So I will treat him twice as well."

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the outside of the yard seemed to be noisy. A tall flat-headed man pushed open the door and walked in. His limping figure was like the bell tower monster in "Notre Dame".

It was Yang Zhi's stepfather and Uncle Li.

Uncle Li is not good-looking, but it is not too ugly. His arms and muscles are strong. When he was young, he also attracted many women to like it. However, after an accident at the construction site, his legs were lame, he was not so straight, his figure was no longer straight, and he looked much shorter. This limp, even his whole spirit became lame, becoming gloomy and dull, and his temper became irritable.

He brought back a few workers from the construction site today. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted that his mother would go to the kitchen to get some side dishes to entertain guests.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Yang Zhi and said in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, the top student is back."

Yang Zhi ignored him.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you pour me wine and entertain guests."

Several workers looked at Yang Zhi and smiled: "Your daughter has grown up so old, she is so beautiful."

The mother hurriedly said, "Yang Zhi, go upstairs quickly. Didn't you say that the teacher couldn't finish the homework assigned by the teacher? Why don't you go quickly?"

"I'll help you." Yang Zhi walked over and wanted to take over the work in his mother's hands, but his mother disagreed: "Be obedient, go upstairs to review your homework, don't make you Uncle Li unhappy."

She couldn't resist her mother, and after all, she turned around and went upstairs three times. She closed the door of the room with anger. Her stepfather was drinking and chatting with her friends downstairs while scolding her for losing money.

Yang Zhi covered his ears and lay on the table, put on the headphones given to her by Kou Xiang. He listened to the soothing music and felt a little more relaxed.

She took out the book and began to review her homework, immersing herself in learning, and her eyes could only be focused on the future.

As long as she works hard, she will definitely have what she wants.

The workers left late at night, and Uncle Li was already drunk. As soon as Yang Zhi got off the stairs, he heard a muffled sound from the living room. She hurriedly ran down, but saw her mother squatting on the side of the coffee table, with Uncle Li pulling her hair.

At this time, Uncle Li was like an angry beast, with a red face and a thick neck, and a drunken body.

"I can't cook any food well, which makes me embarrassed in front of my friends. I worked so hard to raise you, and I also asked someone to point fingers outside. When I got home, I wanted to eat some hot and fresh food. I didn't eat what you left with my mother and I did. What kind of evil do I do? Ah, I have to be treated like this from you."

My mother dodged, lay on the edge of the sofa, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, when I came back today, I stewed duck. She didn't eat much. I thought I could still eat it after it's hot. I'll make it for you again."

"What are you doing? I don't want to eat anymore. Get away from me and get angry when I see you."

Yang Zhi hurriedly ran over to help his mother up and shouted at Uncle Li: "Don't touch my mother!"

"Oh, you little defensive, dare to yell at me." Uncle Li said as he walked towards her with great momentum. His mother hurriedly protected Yang Zhi behind him and said in panic: "Calm down, don't hurt my daughter."

"I have to teach her some lessons today so that she can avoid forgetting her status and duty in this family."

As soon as Uncle Li approached, Yang Zhi smelled the pungent smell of alcohol. She quickly looked and picked up the bench on the ground and threw it in front of Uncle Li. Uncle Li was tripped without any warning and fell on the sofa.

Yang Zhi hurriedly pulled his mother and ran back to his room in one breath, locking the door. The two of them couldn't calm down and looked at each other in horror.

That night, my mother slept in Yang Zhi's room, allowing Uncle Li to drink downstairs, smash things, cursing everything, cursing the unfairness of fate.

On the small bed, Yang Zhi hugged her mother tightly, no longer holding her in her arms like when she was a child, and sheltering her from the wind and rain. This time, Yang Zhi asked her mother to lean in her arms, and she wanted to protect her mother.

"Mom, you leave him."

Yang Zhi no longer remembers how many times she talked about this topic with her mother. If you leave him, we live together, we don’t need him.

The mother sighed deeply: "Where can we go?"

Yang Zhi quickly sat up and looked at his mother. His tone was raised a little: "After I went out, I realized that the world is vast and the world is not just a red water town. There are infinite possibilities in the future. Mom, you should take this step bravely. I will definitely work hard to make you live the best life!"

"Mom is old." Mom's voice was a little tired: "I can't stand any troubles anymore. You are still young, and your future belongs to you."

"You are not old at all!" Yang Zhi said stubbornly: "We can"

"Little Zhier, your Uncle Li can't control himself after drinking, and he treats me well." His mother pulled Yang Zhi's hand: "Don't always see bad things about him, you should also look at his good things. Most of the tuition and living expenses for you are paid by him. He works very hard, and his legs are like that. I can't leave him behind."

Yang Zhi threw away his mother's hand with a grudge: "Just be a bad person, don't consider yourself, but also consider me!"

The mother sighed deeply and said nothing.

Although they were angry, the mother and daughter did not have the revenge of overnight. The next day, they reconciled as before. After their stepfather went out to work during the day, Yang Zhi took the guitar to practice the etude in the store, playing and singing the lyrics that Kou Xiang gave to her.

It is very common to add melody singing to Rap. Pure rap may be a bit monotonous, but if there is a melody, it will sound very layered and rhythmic.

Every day, there are endless customers coming to my mother to braid her hair, and applaud Yang Zhi's singing, and life is comfortable and comfortable.

As long as Uncle Li is not here, life will be happy.

Yang Zhi told his mother about going to S City to compete. His mother warned Yang Zhi that Uncle Li must not say that he was going to participate in any competition, but said that he would go out for a trip with his friends.

Yang Zhi nodded nervously. That night, his mother cooked a large table of good meals. The mother and daughter waited for Uncle Li to come home from get off work and had dinner together.

Uncle Li seemed to be in a good mood. During the meal, his mother told Uncle Li that Yang Zhi was going out for a trip with his friends, but she never thought that Uncle Li was furious after hearing this and said that I worked hard on the construction site to earn money to support the family, and that you would not be corrupt like this!

The mother quickly explained: "No, I will pay for the money for Zhier's trip."

"Your money, your money is not my money!" Uncle Li threw away chopsticks: "Don't even think about it, and he is going out for a trip. You think you are the lady of a rich family. I tell you, if you want to study, you can stay at home with peace of mind. If you don't want to study, you will drop out of school and get married. I think it will be great if you enter the city and learn from the city's way."

Yang Zhi looked at him angrily, his eyes very hard.

Uncle Li snorted coldly: "I'm still glaring at me. Tell you, no matter how hard you struggle, you are a bug and will never become a phoenix! Stay honestly for me."

Yang Zhi ran back to the room in one breath, closed the room door heavily, and shivered with anger against the wall, and his fists were clenched tightly with his hands.

"I'm not a bug." She murmured in a very low and heavy voice: "I will get whatever I want, and no one can look down on me."
