What kind of person is my mother? 【About life experience】
Bai Xiao stood at the door of the yard for a long time, staring in the direction of the car leaving without moving.
Grandma opened the door and came out, followed Bai Xiao's gaze, and sighed, "Go in, it's windy standing outside."
Bai Xiao sat at the table but couldn't bring up his appetite. After taking two bites, he put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll go back to the house and take a nap."
The old man saw her red and swollen eyes and knew that she was really in a bad mood, so he didn't force her and nodded: "Go ahead and I'll call you during dinner."
She was really wrapped in a quilt and lying on the bed, but Bai Xiao didn't feel sleepy at all. She picked up her phone and almost called Yu Shaoting. If she used to treat Yu Jingxi because she pityed him for not having a mother, now her mood is complicated. She
I want to take care of him, but I am afraid of facing the thorns ahead.
In the afternoon, Bai Xiao received a text message from Qin Shousheng, "Sisters, I finally became a serf and became my master. Don't forget the little ones in the future."
Bai Xiao messed up her long hair. She was even more upset because of this text message. She got sick and put on her cotton-padded jacket. The old man was sitting in the yard folding beans. She pulled a small chair and sat down next to her grandma. The old man didn't even look at it.
She said, "Can't sleep?"
Bai Xiao softly said "Hmm" and wanted to help, but her grandmother slapped her hand away: "Stop messing with my beans, go back to the house and watch TV."
"Grandma, my mother...what kind of person is she?"
Grandma folded the beans for a moment, then returned to normal, "Why do you suddenly ask about your mother?"
"I miss her a little bit." Bai Xiao twitched her lips and looked up at the setting sun on the horizon, "Grandma, do you think she has..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Grandma suddenly stopped her and her tone was very stern. How could you curse your mother like this?
"Why else would she never come to see you?" Even if she doesn't want me anymore, why not come and see you, your mother?
Bai Xiao paused, then looked at her grandmother and asked: "Grandma, am I really like what my aunt said, it's my mother and the man outside..."
Although her mother was taboo in this family, she still occasionally heard some gossip in the village when she was a child. Others just thought she was still a child and spoke without hesitation, but they didn't know that she, who was precocious, could already understand some of their words.
.
They said that her mother was one of the few college students in their village at that time, but she brought a child back before graduating from college, and insisted that it was her child. No matter how her grandfather beat her, she refused to change her story, but
I don't want to say who the father of the child is.
They also said that her mother later became insane and could not recognize people, but she was beautiful and there were bachelors who were willing to ask her mother to be their wife.
Later, for some unknown reason, she was thrown into a cemetery on the mountain by her mother. From then on, her mother disappeared.
As for what the truth is, Bai Xiao has never asked her grandmother for confirmation. This is the first time she has talked about her mother.
Grandma's eyes were red, with tears glistening in her eyes, and she sighed faintly: "It's only your mother's fault that she was young and ignorant and ended up like this."
"Then she is now..." Bai Xiao asked eagerly.
Grandma shook her head, "I don't know either. Your grandpa went to the city that day and I was in the fields. She must have fallen ill and ran off to who knows where."
Grandma's helpless words were enough to prove that those villagers were not lying, and her mother was really crazy at that time.
Grandma and grandson didn't talk any more. Grandma picked up the basket and said, "I'm going to cook. By the way, are Jingxi and the others really going back?"
"...I don't know." Bai Xiao thought of Yu Jingxi's big black and bright eyes.
"Then go make a call. You follow your grandpa's bad temper and keep it to yourself whenever you want. You're not afraid of hurting yourself!"
——————————
Bai Xiao went back to the room and hesitated for a while before dialing Yu Shaoting's cell phone.
After a few rings, the person answered, "Hello?" The deep, magnetic voice was definitely Yu Shaoting's.
Bai Xiao held the phone but didn't know how to speak.
"……What's up?"
"..."
"say!"
Bai Xiao bit her lower lip, "Where's Jing Xi?"
"……sleeping."
"You...returned to Fengcheng?"
"Do you care whether we go back or not?"
Bai Xiao's chest was clogged again, but she couldn't think of anything to say to refute him.
"...Is there anything else? I'm fine... Dudu..."
Bai Xiao threw her phone on the bed and turned over her face faster than flipping through a book. When she was getting off the bed, she accidentally tripped and fell to the ground. She felt a sharp pain in her knees. She rubbed the bruises and felt that everything was not going well for her recently.
, not long after, the phone rang again, and she quickly picked it up with her feet up.
"Xiaobai... I miss you so much, and I'm so hungry. I want to eat the scrambled eggs with spring bamboo shoots made by my grandma!"
Listening to Yu Jingxi's aggrieved sobs, Bai Xiao's heart throbbed, "Have you returned to Fengcheng?"
"No." Yu Jingxi sniffed, "Dad took me to stay in a hotel."
"Which hotel?" Bai Xiao asked eagerly.
"I don't know those words, but there is a big fountain at the door, and there is a RT-Mart supermarket next to it."
Bai Xiao immediately thought of the five-star hotel where she and Yu Shaoting spent the night last night. As Yu Shaoting, she would only choose there.
"Xiaobai, I'm so hungry, I want to see you."
"Where is your father?" When Bai Xiao heard that he was hungry, she felt as anxious as if she hadn't eaten in three days.
Yu Jingxi blew his nose with a tissue, "He went out just now, so I called you secretly."
Before Bai Xiao answered the call, the caller suddenly hung up. When she called again, the person who answered the phone had already changed.
"Jing Xi won't have to worry about Miss Bai from now on, that's all." After saying that, the phone was put down.
He hung up smoothly and decisively, without giving her a chance to speak.
In the morning, Xiaoxiao was heard from the left and Xiaoxiao was heard again, and now she has become Miss Bai again...
——————————
Grandma was cooking, and she cooked exactly what Yu Jingxi called "spring bamboo shoots and scrambled eggs."
"What do you mean? Are you coming back for dinner?"
Bai Xiao sat behind the stove to light the fire, "I probably won't come."
Grandma glanced at her and said, "Did you have a quarrel with Xiao Shao? Young man, is there anything you can't say openly?"
Bai Xiao wanted to say that it was only because he spread it out that he got to this point.
There was a sudden knock on the door outside. Grandma wiped her hands and was about to open the door. Bai Xiao stood up quickly and said, "I'll go and you look at the dishes."
Opening the old-fashioned wooden door with its red paint peeled off, Bai Xiao raised his head and his heartbeat stopped for a moment.
Pei Qiyou stood at the door and was about to turn around when he seemed to hear the sound of the door opening and turned around again. When he saw her, there was a slight smile on his lips.
"I thought there was no one there." His handsome features were reflected in the halo of the evening sun, and his eyes were gentle, as if looking at an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
But Bai Xiao was not immersed in this beautiful mood, because she remembered that she had just met him and his fiancée at noon.
"Is something wrong?" Bai Xiao asked very calmly, without any emotion, but with some politeness.
Pei Qiyou glanced behind her, "Are there any guests at home?"
His inquiry was probing, and Bai Xiao had no time to guess his intentions, "No, what do you want?"
Pei Qiyou outside the door looked at Bai Xiao, who was facing him calmly, and felt a moment of emptiness in his heart. There was no resentment towards him in her eyes or eyebrows, and there was no ups and downs at all. It was as if the past entanglements between them had never existed.
This discovery made Pei Qiyou feel indescribably disappointed.
For some reason, he felt vaguely uneasy despite being disappointed. He was wondering if Bai Xiao would forget him after a while?
That text message was still lying quietly on his phone, and he read it no less than ten times on the way here.
But when he really saw her, he couldn't open his mouth to question her...because he was afraid that her answer would not be what he wanted to hear.
Pei Qiyou glanced at the kitchen and smiled at her in the sunset: "Is grandma cooking?"
"Xiao Xiao, come in and bring all the dishes." Hearing her grandmother's shout, Bai Xiao ignored Pei Qiyou and turned around to go into the kitchen.
When she came out with the dishes, Pei Qiyou hadn't left yet, but he didn't come in either and was standing outside the threshold.
One step outside the door and one step inside seems to be a light-year away.
Bai Xiao didn't invite him in, she just did whatever she needed to do, completely treating the man outside the door as a transparent existence.
However, when grandma came out after cooking, she noticed Pei Qiyou and said hello with a smile, "Qiyou? Why are you here?"
Pei Qiyou was stunned. Facing the old man's kind smile, he didn't dare to look into her eyes. He twitched his lips and said, "Grandma."
"Come in and sit down."
Bai Xiao looked at Bai Xiao in confusion, but grandma didn't look at her. She said to Pei Qiyou: "You haven't had dinner yet, come in quickly."
Pei Qiyou glanced at Bai Xiao's position and really came in.
Almost as soon as he stepped in, Bai Xiao turned around and entered his room, and the door closed in front of him.
Bai Xiao was wearing the same sweatshirt she had worn seven years ago. It was also in winter when he accompanied her to her hometown in Liyang. Seven years later, Bai Xiao put on the same sweatshirt again. She almost overlapped with the girl in his memories, holding her long arms.
Hair, Bai Xi's little face, but there is no happy smile on it anymore.
Pei Qiyou stared intently at the closed door, unable to move his eyes away.
——————————
Bai Xiao found that he could not remain calm when facing Pei Qiyou when the mountain collapsed before his eyes.
He wanted to drive her out of Fengcheng, and now he appeared in front of her again. Did he want to see if she felt nostalgic for the Spring and Autumn Period in the festive atmosphere of the New Year?
To be honest, Bai Xiao hated Pei Qiyou who looked like this. When he smiled at her as if nothing had happened, she really wanted to pick up the broom specially used to sweep chicken manure and slap him on him. How could there be nothing?
It happened that her relationship for so many years ended up being a joke.
Now this person has to hang the joke on the branch like a carrot, dangle it in front of her, and play her like a donkey.
——————————
When Bai Xiao came out of the room, she found that Pei Qiyou hadn't left yet and was sitting in the main room chatting with her grandmother.
"You are coming to Liyang for a business trip during the Chinese New Year. You haven't been here for so many years. Are you still used to it?"
Pei Qiyou was a little absent-minded. When he sat with the old man, he felt a sense of shame rising from the bottom of his heart, and he also regretted entering the house.
"How are your grandmother and mother?" Grandma never mentioned the divorce between him and Bai Xiao, and asked him like a normal conversation.
"Well, everything is good," Pei Qiyou didn't know how to continue, "How about you? How are you doing recently?"
Grandma smiled, the wrinkles on her face wrinkled together, "It's not the same as before, it's pretty good."
——————————
Bai Xiao actually didn't understand why her grandma would keep Pei Qiyou down for dinner. Since the old man asked so, she had no way to drive him away.
However, Pei Qiyou didn't have the consciousness to leave. When she brought the meal, he actually took it and said softly, "Thank you."
Although grandma greeted Pei Qiyou at the dinner table, the meal was still boring.
Bai Xiao had a bad appetite, so she only ate a little bit of rice. She protected the plate of scrambled eggs with spring bamboo shoots so that no one would use her chopsticks.
After the meal, Pei Qiyou still had no intention of leaving, and Bai Xiao didn't want to waste energy entertaining him, so she simply went to wash the dishes, unwilling to stay in the main room for a moment. Grandma looked at Bai Xiao's rather willful behavior lovingly, and smiled.
After smiling, he looked at Pei Qiyou opposite and said, "Qiyou, let's talk."
Bai Xiao was washing dishes in the kitchen. She deliberately washed them very slowly. After an unknown amount of time, Pei Qiyou's voice sounded from behind her: "Xiao Xiao, I'm leaving."
The action of washing dishes stopped for a moment, and the person behind her never left. She had to turn back, as if she had just heard his words: "Are you leaving?"
Bai Xiao felt that she was a little hypocritical. She clearly didn't want to see him, but she insisted on pretending that she could still be friends after separation.
Pei Qiyou looked at her slender figure under the light, his eyes flickered, and he responded softly, but still did not move.
Bai Xiao could see what he meant. He wanted her to give it to him. No matter what he thought, Bai Xiao had absolutely no such idea.
So she just said lightly: "Then please pay attention to safety on the road, I won't send you away."
Pei Qiyou was embarrassed that someone had seen through his thoughts, so he stopped staying: "Then I'm leaving, Xiaoxiao."
Bai Xiao said nothing more and stood quietly by the sink.
——————————
Pei Qiyou didn't park the car in front of Bai Xiao's house. He walked for a while to the parking place.
After getting in the car, he did not drive away immediately. Sitting in the driver's seat, the conversation with his grandmother could not be left in his mind.
From the moment he walked in, the old man didn't even say a word to blame him, but continued to treat him as usual.
But such treatment would only make him even more embarrassed in front of her.
"Although Xiaoxiao didn't tell me in detail about your affairs, I roughly understand it. I don't blame you. Pray for blessings. Really, everyone has their own destiny. If Xiaoxiao is destined to have no fate with you, it's good for you to separate like this.
, it’s better than procrastinating it for the rest of your life.”
"I heard that you have a girl you like? Actually, you don't have to feel sorry for me. I only have one request: don't come to Xiaoxiao again in the future."
"Now that you have decided to live with another woman, don't hesitate again."
Pei Qiyou covered his face with his hands and leaned on his seat, as if all his strength had been drained from his body, with a faint look of confusion on his face.
Pei Qiyou, who was about to turn twenty-nine, was dominated by money and status in his life. At this moment, his cold heart felt a faint desolation, a kind of sadness that "is only on his brows, but in his heart".
——————————
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel's presidential suite.
The man was standing in front of the window wearing a white bathrobe, with a glass of whiskey in his hand, looking at the night view of the small city of Liyang.
His legs are longer than those of ordinary men, with straight lines. The slightly open neckline reveals a strong chest with clear texture, strong and graceful. Bai Xi's skin shows a sexy light wheat color under the orange light in the room.
His three-dimensional and profound facial features were dimly silhouetted by the light.
He raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and there was a "sizzling" sound from the straw beside him.
On the floor-to-ceiling windows in front, another small figure next to him was reflected——
Wearing a children's bathrobe, with a firm belly, a pair of big slippers, and messy curls permed with fireworks, she was almost in the same posture as the man next to her, except that the whiskey in her hand was replaced by a glass of banana milk, and she was still erect.
Hold a straw and occasionally lower your head to take a sip.

I almost forgot that today is the Lantern Festival. I wish you all a happy reunion and family happiness! The fourth update will probably be in the early morning. The speed is too slow and I can’t keep up with the rhythm of reading the article. Everyone, go to bed early. Finally
You can watch it from the first update tomorrow*. To all the friends who have always given me monthly tickets, purses, flowers, and diamonds [there are too many names, so I won’t list them all]. I don’t know what to say to express my gratitude. Thousands of words can only be said.
