It was still night, and the bald man was walking on the streets of Rainbow City dragging an oversized suitcase.
Rainbow City is extremely brilliant at night, with bustling streets and flashing neon lights. It is a beautiful city full of vitality.
The bald head breathed deeply the hot air. It had been too long since he had seen the real world. This was his hometown after all.
Only when he saw the prosperous and lively city of the past did he feel even more grateful to Jianghua.
Without Jiang Hua, he would have starved to death on Camellia Star, so he completed the tasks assigned to him by Jiang Hua without any complaints.
In fact, this errand is a kind of enjoyment for him. If you have experienced it too much and you walk on the street and observe the passers-by, you will find this is such an interesting thing.
Suddenly, his steps stopped and his breathing became rapid. There was a small dessert shop across the street, and someone was buying something at the window.
This should be a family of four. An elegant and graceful man is holding a three or four-year-old daughter and reaches out to take a cone.
The person standing next to him should be his wife, a woman with mature charm. Although there are some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her face is still beautiful. She is the kind of woman who can be seen as gentle and virtuous at a glance. She is in her teens.
The eldest son tidied his clothes.
The blood in the bald head surged up all over his body, and he couldn't help but walk over.
But he still held back. He looked at the box in his hand, at the cheap clothes that were wrinkled all over his body, and compared with the happy family of four over there, he really couldn't find any reason to pass.
It is better to miss each other than to miss each other. It is better not to see each other than to meet each other! He suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence deeply, and also remembered what Jiang Hua said to him: "If I tell you everything, it may not be a good thing for you!"
Jiang Hua's words are so right, but the truth of some things is even more cruel.
Just like now, the woman over there is clearly his former wife, but she calls another man her husband, and the teenage child is probably his son, but she doesn't call him daddy.
Looking at them, the bald man's eyes slowly became moist, he was excited, but more importantly, he was sad.
At this moment, the woman turned her head as if by mistake, and saw the bald head on the other side of the street, and then she was stunned.
This time the bald man had no way to escape, so he walked over slowly. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak, because he didn't know what to say.
But the man holding his daughter asked strangely: "Feifei. What's wrong?"
The woman seemed very calm: "This person is a friend I haven't seen for a long time."
The man glanced at Haidong and called to his son: "Be good, go to the supermarket in front with dad. Mom will be here in a minute."
On the second floor of the roadside cafe, hot coffee was served, but the bald head did not move.
Ling Fei held the coffee and drank it slowly, and after a long time she said: "You are finally back."
Putting this sentence here and now, it is impossible to describe how much complexity it contains.
Baldhead had been away for thirteen years. Thirteen years later, he finally returned to Rainbow City and finally saw her again.
But what can this do? He is no longer the same person he once was. Ling Fei has also remarried. We can still sit face to face, maybe because of the past friendship.
"You seem to be in good spirits!" Ling Fei showed a smile.
She is an optimistic, strong, and virtuous woman who will not talk about boring and sad topics.
The bald man said in a deep voice: "That boy is Xiao Fei, right?"
When Ling Fei was pregnant, Bald had already named the child Haifei, which meant he would fly freely over the sea like an eagle.
Ling Fei nodded: "Yes!"
The bald man said sadly: "I'm sorry!"
Ling Fei shook her head and said: "You don't need to apologize, he is living a good life now!"
Baldhead said: "It has always been my wish to make your life better. Now that I can see you, I am very satisfied."
They are husband and wife and have a tacit understanding. Although many of their words are simple, only the person involved understands their meaning.
The bald head could hear Ling Fei's defensiveness, and Ling Fei could also feel that the bald head had no intention of disturbing her.
Ling Fei looked at his suitcase: "What are you doing now?"
The bald man said: "I'm doing some chores for others, you don't have to worry about me, I'll take care of myself."
Ling Fei sighed: "You still haven't changed, so you're not a good liar."
Bald and helpless, his attire was in sharp contrast to Ling Fei's, which also indirectly showed that his financial situation was not necessarily good.
Ling Fei said: "My husband runs a group company in this city, you..."
Baldhead quickly interrupted her: "No, I can support myself."
Ling Fei was helpless. She looked like a very gentle person with a bald head, but she was actually a stubborn person.
"Does Xiaofei know me?" Baldhead asked.
Ling Fei was silent.
The bald man couldn't help it anymore: "Why didn't you tell him?"
Ling Fei also has a tough side: "When he was just a baby, I took him to do odd jobs everywhere. Do you know how many odd jobs I had to do in a day? 17 hours, 6 odd jobs, if I hadn't met my current husband
, Xiaofei has starved to death a long time ago, do you think I will tell him?"
The bald man also sighed: "I'm sorry!"
The two fell into silence again.
After a while, the bald man slowly stood up, carrying the box and slowly walking towards the exit.
Ling Fei said: "Are you leaving?"
The bald man neither answered nor looked back.
Late at night, Jiang Hua came to the courtyard in a wheelchair.
The bald man was still awake, sitting in a trance on a wicker chair. The ashtray on the coffee table next to him was filled with cigarette butts.
"You seem a little abnormal today!" Jiang Hua asked.
The bald man sighed: "I met her when I went to the city to buy equipment today."
"Her?" Jiang Hua was startled, "Is it Sister Ling?"
The bald head nodded feebly.
Jiang Hua smiled bitterly: "Actually, I should have told you about her situation earlier."
The bald man said, "Can I borrow your working optical brain?"
Jiang Hua said: "I know what you want to check. Her current husband is called Jian Cheng, and he is the boss of Jian's Pharmaceutical Group in Caihong City. Mr. Jian is always a good person. In those days, Sister Ling took her children to do odd jobs everywhere, and one of them was Jian Cheng.
In the employee restaurant of the Group, Boss Jian never made any special arrangements. He ate and lived with the employees. It was because he admired Sister Ling’s character there that they finally developed a relationship. They got married six years ago.”
"According to this, I should still thank him?" Baldhead asked.
How could Jiang Hua not hear his self-deprecating and sarcastic tone? He could only patiently persuade him: "Brother Dong, I said that once you know some things, it may not be a good thing for you."
The bald man let out a long sigh and went to grab the cigarette case again.
Jiang Hua pondered and said: "It is not easy for Sister Ling to raise a child. As far as I know, she even works harder than my mother. At least when I was born, my mother was safe and sound, but Sister Ling gave birth.
Bleeding heavily
, she was rescued in the hospital for several days. Due to financial constraints, an attending doctor from Meihe Hospital paid for her medical expenses. She had been in poor health. Later, she met Boss Jian and after careful treatment, she gradually recovered in the past two years.
It’s getting better.”
The bald man raised his head, but he still didn't speak.
He didn't dare to speak, he was afraid that tears would fall if he did.
Jiang Hua said: "Sister Ling is actually very lucky. In the thirteen years since you left, she has met some good people. If you really want to thank her, there is a tea restaurant called 'Huale' in Hutao Lane, Zhongdong Street, in the city.
The restaurant owner’s name is Isa, you should really thank her.”
This time the bald man had to speak even if he didn't want to: "Why?"
Jiang Hua sighed: "Sister Ling owes her current wealthy life to Boss Jian, but it was Mrs. Isa who saved her and her son's lives. For this reason, Mrs. Isa even broke a leg. To this day, she can still walk.
There’s something wrong.”
He had inquired about the details of the relevant people before the black spider operation. Ling Fei's experience back then was almost exactly the same as Jiang Hua's mother. Just like the eldest sister Jiang Yanyun met, Ling Fei was in Mrs. Isa's restaurant.
Mrs. Isa was particularly sympathetic to Ling Fei's plight, so she took extra care of her.
As a result, one child suddenly developed a high fever. Unfortunately, Ling Fei worked hard for several days and was overworked. She fainted in the kitchen on the spot. What was even worse was that it was already 11 o'clock at night. Although the restaurant was closed, the restaurant was closed.
Still need to tidy up and clean.
Fortunately, Mrs. Isa was thinking about Ling Fei and specially brought snacks to visit her in the restaurant. Because she was discovered early and sent the mother and son to the hospital for treatment in time, the lives of the mother and son were saved, but that night was too stressful.
It was late. Mrs. Isa was very tired after a busy day. She accidentally slipped and rolled down the stairs of the hospital, breaking her left leg.
Of course, although she later recovered through treatment, there were still some sequelae. After all, Mrs. Isa was a little old, and her walking was a bit unnatural from then on.
Jiang Huadao: "When Sister Ling got married, she specially invited Mrs. Isa and her daughter to serve as witnesses. Now the restaurant has been handed over to Mrs. Isa's daughter to take care of it. But regardless of wind or rain, Sister Ling
I go to that restaurant every Sunday at noon and visit Mrs. Isa at the same time. This habit is unbreakable. If you want to thank me, it is best to stagger this time."
The bald head nodded expressionlessly: "I will!"
Jiang Hua patted him on the shoulder. Because his mother had a similar experience to Ling Fei, he neither wanted to mention these things nor make any comments about them. He just slowly turned the wheelchair and entered the house.
.
There was only one bald person left in the yard, smoking silently. (To be continued...)
