The aunt said impatiently: "There's no need to ask. First make a pot of boiling water, then add some cold water to the footbath, and mix it all together. I'll know after I try it."
I thought it was really troublesome, just wash it with cold water. I don’t always wash it with cold water. By the way, my aunt is a girl, so washing her feet with cold water will easily dry her body. Alas - women are troublesome.
In a short time, I got everything in the bathroom, including a hot water bottle, a footbath, soap, a footcloth and a small bench.
My aunt had already sat up. When she saw me bringing a small bench, she asked, "What are you doing with this?"
"I can still kneel down and wash your feet. You think you are Lafayette and I am Xiaoyingzi."
I said, put the footbath in front of my aunt, sat on the small bench and heated the water in the basin. After adding it, I tested it with my fingers and thought it was OK, so I said to my aunt, "Try it first."
My aunt looked at the hot water and asked me: "Is this too hot?" I said: "You will know if you try it first." She just put her toes into the water with doubts.
"Ouch!"
My aunt let out a cry of pain and immediately retracted her feet. Then she twisted my ears with her hands and said angrily: "Smelly Xiaonan, you are going to burn my aunt to death. You are so annoying."
My heart skipped a beat, and I sat on the small bench and kept explaining: "I was wrong, don't twist it too hard, I really didn't think it was hot so I asked my aunt to try it. How could I dare to burn my aunt's feet? I'm wronged."
He continued to stare at me in disbelief, which made me feel uncomfortable and did not dare to say a word.
My aunt saw me lowering my head, and saw that my face was so anxious that sweat was pouring out. She knew that I didn't mean it, so her anger slowly subsided, so she pinched my nose hard and said, "You're so scared, it's so hot."
Auntie, how can I really blame you for giving you another chance to make up for your mistakes without adding some cold water?"
"Oh, I'll add you right away."
After listening to my aunt's voice, I finally felt relieved and knew that everything was fine. Oh, I thought to myself: What a risk, luckily I didn't burn my aunt, otherwise she would have gotten angry and wouldn't have known how to deal with me.
I added some cold water again and tested it with the back of my hand. I felt that it was just right this time, so I said to my aunt: "Lafayette, please——"
My aunt heard my nonsense and said angrily: "What are you trying to scare me for?" Then she put a pair of pink and white feet into the hot water.
"Hey--"
My aunt screamed softly, and I thought I was burned again. I was so scared that I quickly apologized. My aunt smiled and said, "It's just right this time, help me rub my feet."
This made me so angry that I thought you didn't feel hot, so why bother?
"You even massage your feet. Auntie, you really think I'm a waiter. I'm Zhang Haonan!"
I said it harshly, but I didn't know why but I wanted to serve my aunt well. She has been tired and thin because of me these days. She works so hard to scout my grandma and me every day, why can't she just enjoy it for a while. I held my arm
My aunt's trousers exposed her white and tender calves. I put my hand into the hot water and grabbed my aunt's feet, gently massaging the instep. Then I rubbed the soles of my feet heavily. I thought to myself: My aunt's feet are so smooth and tender, no need to use soap.
There was a fragrance coming out. Thinking about it, I kept massaging my aunt's feet vigorously.
"Hey - Xiaonan, you are using too much force, please be gentle."
I looked up and saw my aunt hugging the pillow, her ears starting to turn red all the way to her cheeks, looking at me tenderly.
"You don't have to bother calling me a massage, it won't work."
After that, I carefully added some hot water, put a few drops of incense in the water, and continued to massage my aunt's feet. Even I was surprised why I massaged my aunt's feet, as if I saw her beautiful feet.
, it will come naturally. Do I still have this talent? Thinking about it, I used more strength in my hands - and listened to my aunt keep saying:
"Smelly Xiaonan, please be gentle, it hurts."
"Auntie, please, don't-"
"Well - ah - ah - Xiaonan, please don't mess with my aunt, please."
"Auntie, I can't, I can't bear it, please, um——"
My aunt's tender voice made my heart beat wildly. I put down my strength and massaged gently. After a while, my aunt begged and begged, and fell asleep hugging the pillow.
I gently took my aunt's feet out of the basin, dried them with a towel, and then moved my sleeping aunt onto the sofa. I thought to myself that this wouldn't work, it would be better to wake her up, because she wouldn't catch a cold even if she slept in the middle of the night.
, it can be seen that my aunt was sleeping so sweetly, I really couldn't bear to wake her up. I thought to myself: Let my aunt sleep, because if I wake her up, I have to be busy with this and that. After thinking about it, I gently picked up my aunt - she
She's really light, weighing just over 90 pounds. Her little face is pressed against my chest, and I don't know what she's mumbling...
I carried my aunt back to her bedroom and gently put her on the bed. I thought it would be better for her to sleep with her clothes on, and it would be difficult to change her clothes. I covered her with a blanket, turned around and was about to go out, when I heard her lying down.
Talking in sleep in bed.
"Xiao Nan, eat slowly, don't choke..." "Xiao Nan, is it still in pain... I just mess around every day."
Hearing that my aunt was still thinking about me in her dream, I suddenly felt very sad in my heart, and tears welled up in the corners of my eyes unconsciously.
I came to my aunt's desk, gently opened the drawer, took out an old photo album, and flipped through it - it was full of photos of my aunt and me. There were photos of me when I was a child and just came to the city;
There are people wearing red scarves; there are people who have celebrated my birthdays over the years; there are pictures taken at the train station when my aunt was sent to college that year; there are pictures taken by my aunt for me when I graduated from a technical school; there are also pictures taken by me and me when the team was established.
The photos of my aunt, each of these photos record my past - the past that my aunt and I share.
I put the photo album back and picked up a diary, which recorded my aunt's daily life.
On a certain day of a certain month in 2012, I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables in the morning and bought Xiao Nan's favorite crab. At noon, the work unit was so busy that there was no time for lunch. I had to work overtime in the evening, but I brought a T-shirt for Xiao Nan.
He must be happy to see me. After seeing him, he was really happy and cried for some reason. It was the same as when he was bullied in elementary school.
On a certain day in a certain month in 2012, I remembered that I slapped Xiaonan twice yesterday. I felt very sad and it hurt like hell. I was not in the mood to write about today's events.
On a certain day in 2012, today is Xiao Nan's first day at work in Liulong. Seeing him working so hard, although I feel heartbroken, I am also happy for him. Xiao Nan has grown up——
After reading only a few, my eyes could no longer hold any more tears, and all of them came out and dripped down my cheeks to the ground.
Why is my aunt so kind to me? Do I deserve what my aunt does? What can I give to my aunt? Do I deserve it... Thoughts are lingering in my mind. My parents have been going abroad to make a living since I was very young.
, and the reason why I was so happy in my teenage years, including now, is because I have my aunt by my side, who thinks about everything for me, and is even willing to do things like cutting my toenails for me. This is
My aunt. - I looked at my aunt sleeping on the bed, slowly approached her, kissed her gently on the forehead, and said silently in my heart - thank you, aunt.
I closed the diary, put it back gently, closed the drawer, turned around and saw that my aunt was still sleeping soundly, so I turned around and went out to close the door of my aunt's room. - I sat on the sofa and stared at the TV blankly. After a while, the TV played
News from the city: A familiar-looking man appeared inside, and upon closer inspection, he turned out to be Jiang Ran, the executive manager of Shengshi Nianhua.
I just heard him say on TV:
"[Shengshi Nianhua] responded to the invitation of the National E-Sports Federation and decided to participate in the summer national competitive gaming league. But before that, we Shengshi Nianhua will hold a city-wide selection competition with the purpose of mobilizing the enthusiasm of competitive gaming enthusiasts in the city.
, actively participate, and of course the winner or team will get a quota to participate in the National Summer League."
I stared at the screen closely and saw Jiang Ran pointing his finger at me at the end and silently muttering without any movement, but judging from the shape of his mouth, he should have said.
