Chapter 22 — Awakening Brick
Suddenly I remembered the main house that night. Remember ten slaps. Remember the brick that hit the eight immortals table. If I hadn't beaten her that day, maybe she would have continued to be patient. But now, she stands in her own kitchen. There are no injuries on the face. There is light in the eyes. This is home. When eating rice, she gave herself a piece of fish belly meat. I was stunned. When I was young, she always said she didn't like to eat. I watched her slowly eat that piece of fish. She raised her head and asked, "Why are you looking at me?" I smiled. "Nothing." "I just feel like I should have eaten this a long time ago." She also smiled. Outside the window, the wind blows through the apple tree. Young leaves rustle. It's like someone is quietly telling us: The miserable days have finally turned.
