Chapter 39 Thirty-eight, family spring and autumn

There are a few days in November when the weather is very bad, and the old man can't bear it the most.Seeing that Xia's grandmother was critically ill once, she asked for leave and went back to the county to visit with her mother and brother, and inevitably had a few conversations with her second uncle's family at the door of the ward. The family of four had a one-night reunion at their home. Jian Xia hasn't seen her father for two months.It was originally agreed that the two places are separated, and the provincial capital is one of the three counties. Dad should run around more on weekends; but Dad has been working overtime since the past six months, and it can't always be possible.

During the meal, I saw Xia staring at him coldly. The whole family was reunited, and my mother was obviously happier than my father. The younger brother doesn't matter, as long as the little fat man has something delicious, he can't see anything else. But even though mom was happy, she kept complaining, from second uncle for being unfilial to brother Dahui not saying hello when he saw his elders... Finally, when it came to the fact that the old lady was partial, dad suddenly dropped his chopsticks: "Can you say a few words less?" Sentence? Eat well!" Mom was stunned, her face turned blue and white, and her eye circles were red.

"Who am I for? Ah? Who am I for? Your mother is eccentric, and in the end you can't get any good, so you still scold me?" The younger brother was frightened, and glanced towards Jian Xia, who quickly said, "Xiaowei, help me to serve food." The younger brother always waited for others to serve him, so this time he obediently took the bowl and slipped into the kitchen.Jian Xia took the opportunity to persuade softly: "It's hard to have a meal together, don't be angry, my brother is terrified. Grandma finally rescued, isn't it a happy thing?" After subsided, the younger brother slipped back, bowed his head and quickly picked rice into his mouth.For the second half of the meal, the only sounds on the table were breathing and chewing.Parents often quarrel, and there have been big fights, but Jian Xia always feels that something is different this time: the square table, parents sit opposite each other, and the distance between them seems to be infinitely long.

The next day, my father sent the three of them to the long-distance bus, and their expressions eased a lot. He told the siblings to listen to their mothers, and told their mothers to take care of their bags and call home when they arrived. Mom now smiled a little, and waved to Dad outside the window: "Don't wait for the drive, go back to work quickly!" I was only happy to see Xia for two days, and my mother came to pick her up at the school gate after school, with an uncertain expression: "Xiao Xia, come home with me....Don't tell your father." Chen Jianxia panicked and forced a smile: "Where's my brother?"

"Your cousin has gone to her house. Just go back with me." "I still have to go to school tomorrow. I can't make it back now...Is there anything I have to rush back to?" She instinctively dragged her feet. Mom's face quickly darkened: "Am I not even able to order you? Do you want to change your mother?" It's just outrageous.Seeing that Xia Xia was afraid that if she dragged on, she would be embarrassed in front of everyone, so she nodded obediently: "Okay. But I have to ask for leave with Teacher Yu. There is also the dormitory teacher."

"I've already said hello." Jian Xia's mother turned around and left after speaking, and it seemed that Jian Xia would not be allowed to go back to the dormitory to pick up things.She followed behind, fumbling for the mobile phone in her pocket while walking, thinking how to find a chance to call her father to ask what was going on, and her mother suddenly turned her head and said sharply: "Give me your mobile phone." Jian Xia immediately clenched his hands in his pockets: "What do you want my phone for?" So many text messages with Li Ran have not had time to delete.

"Give me!" Seeing that Xia Yi was trembling, he was quick-witted, and when he handed it to his mother, he slipped his hand and dropped the phone. As expected, it fell apart again, and the battery board even jumped twice on the asphalt road. "You keep the battery," she said, "so I can't call my dad." Mom stared at her, didn't think much, took the battery and left.Jian Xia let out a sigh of relief. Squint obediently, I can't ask for more. My mother was crying on the bus. Crying is different than before.I once saw Xia was very annoyed by her crying, like howling, always dancing and dancing, accompanied by scolding and complaining, and thinking about it gave me a headache.

But also better than this moment. At this moment, Zheng Yuqing, with her teeth and eyes closed, seemed to have entered an unbreakable nightmare, with only two tear stains constantly being refreshed. "Mom, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you and my dad? Don't cry, tell me, there is nothing that can't be solved, so don't cry." Jian Xia's nose was also sore, as if someone was holding her heart, panting No, flustered and sad. "I gave birth to children for their family and for him. When I gave birth to you, your grandma took care of your second uncle's child, and they didn't care about me. I didn't have a good confinement period, fell ill, and insisted on conceiving your brother. Just to give him a queen. In the end, he treated me like this. I gave up my job to go to the provincial capital because of Xiaowei, and he acted for me. I said why the line was busy every time I called back. It turned out that I was talking to someone The conversation was hot! My son was bullied in class, and I asked him what to do and he was absent-minded. Is that my son alone? He wouldn’t treat me like this if he had snacks!”

It was all about Xiaowei, seeing that Xia Xin was half cold, he couldn't say any more comforting words. Because everything has nothing to do with her. Zheng Yuqing never imagined that at the moment of her marriage crisis, her daughter was thinking about other things.Knowing that I'm afraid it will be another round of heartbreak. Jian Xia was still worried and sad about her parents, but her chest was empty.No wonder he sent his brother away and took her back alone.She knows her mother's temperament, and she always likes to point at her and her younger brother when they quarrel and say, you touch your conscience in front of the child!Dad always fails at this.This time it's serious, so I don't want my younger brother to know, for fear that my younger brother will be burdened psychologically—my younger brother is timid, and my younger brother doesn't like to watch them quarrel, so does she like it?

So when mother took out the key and opened the door and rushed in chasing and beating father in a disorderly manner, seeing Xia was half a step behind, standing behind the half-open security door, carefully avoiding the light leaking from the living room in the house. She trembled with fear, did not dare to follow in, and could not cry.Dad and Aunt Lu really had something. Mom didn't grasp the essence, but checked the call records for several months. The list was hidden in the bag, and when she took it out, she danced like a white dance. "No wonder she cares so much about Xiaowei's affairs, you two are just trying to distract me!"

"What nonsense! We don't have anything, are you sick of being suspicious! Back then, you were the one who begged so many times, but when did you become someone who was trying to design you? Little Lu also has a family, so you She will not be allowed to be a human being if she is framed!" "If you marry her, no one will gossip? Go! I'll make room for you! I'll tell you Chen, don't even think about seeing your son again in your life!" There was a sound of scuffling. It should be that the father was preventing the mother from leaving. He was afraid that the neighbors would hear him. The faint quarrel and the sound of smashing things inside the door lasted for more than an hour. Xia Dai was standing in the corridor, his feet were numb from the cold, and his mobile phone was a piece of scrap metal. She was abandoned. A pack of tissues had been used up a long time ago, Chen Jianxia finally sniffled, wiped her tears with the sleeve of her down jacket, turned and went downstairs.The canteen downstairs has been open for many years, and the neighbors are familiar with each other. She went in with red eyes. Fortunately, the owner was engrossed in watching the small portable TV and didn't pay attention. "Aunt Wang, let me make a call." "Why don't you call at home?" The shopkeeper spat out the melon seeds, didn't look at her, and didn't explain Xia, picked up the receiver and dialed. "Hey?" The moment he heard Li Ran's voice, thousands of words were stuck in his chest, only his crying breath was left, and he didn't know if he could hear clearly. What are the eight hardships in life?He said that the abundance of the five aggregates is the origin of the eight sufferings, but she felt that life is the root of all evil. Since you don't want her, why did you give birth in the first place? Tears slipped silently into the collar of the down jacket, from hot to cold. "What's wrong with you? Where is this call? Are you okay? Where are you?" Li Ran panicked, asking one question after another, wishing he could stick his head out of the receiver. She is an abandoned spaceship in the vast universe, and he is the only answer in the intercom that has been silent for many years.
