My spine felt numb for a while. Sure enough, I could see things very clearly when I was with Zhuo Jing.
Just as I was thinking about it, the ball in the child's hand rolled towards me with two bangs. I was so frightened that I instinctively wanted to reach out and pull the car door. When I turned my face, Zhuo Jing looked at me with a look of great fun.
Me: "Hey, didn't you say overcome it?"
As soon as I finished speaking, the ball rolled to my feet and stopped. I took a deep breath, and just as I was about to shout, the little boy actually spoke, "My ball..."
Does he know I saw him?
Under normal circumstances, when you encounter dirty things, you should pretend not to see them. Otherwise, if a kid like this knows that you can see it, he will deliberately play pranks to scare you. My mind is spinning very fast.
I yelled and picked up the ball for him. I looked at his face from the corner of my eye. He looked eight or nine years old. It might not be easy for me to shout.
"Pick it up." Zhuo Jing's voice sounded carefree as he sat in the car.
Yes, maybe he would leave after picking up the ball. I bit the bullet and squatted down, turning my face sideways not to look at him. I cleared my throat, reached for the ball with my fingers, and hummed softly: "I just turned it over a few times."
A mountain, hehe, and a few rivers crossed, why are there so many demons and demons..."
"Beibei! What are you doing! Why did you disappear when mom went to pick up the car? Hurry up and go home with mom! What time is it and you still miss playing ball? Go back so you can go to bed early!!"
"Mom! I'll go there after I get the ball!"
I was stunned holding the ball, and handed it to the boy in front of me. I watched him take the ball, said thank you, turned around, and ran towards the woman who called him.
His shadow under the streetlight stung my eyes directly. He was obviously a living person. This scared me!
After standing up, Zhuo Jing held the steering wheel and looked at me with a smile in his eyes: "You can still think of your title song at the critical moment."
"Zhuo Jing, you are really boring, do you know that?" I gritted my teeth and looked at him. No wonder he wasn't afraid. He must have seen the child and the child's mother early in the morning!
He waved his hand: "It's your own fault. I didn't say he was not human. Okay, you go in, get some rest early, see you later."
"I never want to see you again!" I said, turned around and walked to the hospital angrily. When I got to the gate, I hid behind the door secretly and watched his car drive away. I felt strange in my heart.
Yeah, I can't tell.
As soon as I returned to the ward, I was stunned for a moment: "Da Ya, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Xu Meijin also looked surprised: "Jiaolong, what's wrong with your head?"
I reached out and touched the tape on my forehead: "Oh, I bumped a little, it's just a small thing."
"How is your sister-in-law?"
"My sister-in-law? Oh, she, she's very good." He said he couldn't lie, but he didn't react at the first moment.
Xu Meijin nodded: "You can go to my bed and we can squeeze in."
"No, you can go to sleep. You have a wound and can't touch it." As I said that, I pulled up a chair and sat next to her, looking at Xu Meijin and whispered in reply.
"Then where do you live?"
"It's really okay to live on the bench outside. Just go to sleep and see if you want to go to the toilet."
"Go to bed and sleep." Xu Meijin insisted.
I shook my head: "Oh, don't be stubborn. You can go to sleep. I won't go out until you fall asleep."
In fact, I really can't share a bed with others. There is an unspeakable thing that I occasionally set up a tent when I wake up in the morning. Especially in the past two years, I blush when I see it, so even though Xu Meijin is my best
I am a friend, and she also knows about my situation, but I have never told her or anyone about it. I really can’t control it. I feel like this even though I didn’t even dream about it. It’s very depressing.
"Jiaolong, you are so kind to me." Xu Meijin may have been really sleepy waiting for me, and after a while she spoke in a daze.
I smiled softly and covered her back: "You are my best friend, like a family member. Of course I will treat you well."
That night I lay on the bench outside the ward door, tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. When I closed my eyes, I could think of Zhuo Jing's death. Nowhere in my body felt comfortable. In a fit of anger, I turned over and sat up, saying, "I'm giving birth to a baby."
?!"
Shengzi squatted on the ground, leaning on his little face and looking at me with a smile: "Hey, sister, it's great that you have met your big brother."
I seemed to remember that the first time I saw Zhuo Jing, it was because I wanted to have a son, and I frowned: "Shengzi, do you know a lot of things? And about Zhuo Jing, did you let me see it the first time on purpose?
his."
He held his cheek as if he was thinking about my words. After a long while, he blinked at me and said, "You and my eldest brother are destined to meet. However, they do have something to do with me. Sister, I can't tell you too much."
If there is too much, someone will hear it, and I will be punished. Just remember that you and Big Brother are inseparable."
I frowned and said, "Inseparable? But grandma doesn't want me to have anything to do with him. It's been like this since I was a child."
"Well..." Shengzi looked like he was hesitating to speak: "Because you will encounter many, many things when you are with him, but I think you will persist."
I didn't understand what he meant, so I looked at him: "Shengzi, have you seen my grandma? Is she okay?"
"Okay." Shengzi replied with a smile: "It's just that she's not happy that you're here, but she can't stop many things. Sister, I'm leaving. You have to remember your own feelings and don't miss it again." As he said,
He turned around, took a few steps and disappeared.
What does "missed it again" mean? Does it mean nine years ago?
"Jiaolong, Jiaolong."
I opened my eyes and saw Xu Meijin looking at me with a worried look on her face: "It's so uncomfortable to sleep here. There are no quilts. You don't have a cold?"
My head hurt a little, I waved my hands and sat up, thinking about having a baby. It seems that since I was a child, giving birth has been different from my grandma. My grandma didn't like my involvement with Zhuo Jing, so she locked up the phone at home.
.
But giving birth is the opposite of grandma. When I went to the city for the first time, giving birth seemed to tell me in a dream that I was about to meet that person. That person should be Zhuo Jing. What on earth was going on?
Son, what on earth does Zhuo Jing and I have to do with each other?
"Jiaolong, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that I remained silent, Xu Meijin sat next to me and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine." He glanced at her and said, "I was just dreaming. Why did you get off the ground? Go lie down on the bed and I'll buy you breakfast."
I took a deep breath. Since I couldn’t figure it out, I stopped thinking about it and let nature take its course.
…
During the day, I stayed in the ward. My eyes kept wanting to look at the door for no reason. I always felt that Zhuo Jing would suddenly appear. This feeling was very strange. Later, I finally found a reasonable excuse for myself, that is, I
He never returned the phone to me, which made my heart, which had been tense, breathe a little easier.
Yes, since he didn’t return my phone, I would naturally want him to come.
At night, Xu Meijin insisted that I go home to sleep, saying that I couldn't rest well in the hospital. I couldn't resist her, so I had to agree to leave. When I was about to leave, Xu Meijin looked at me and suddenly said: "Jiaolong, I
Why do you think you've been so distracted all day today?"
This made me feel weak, so I laughed twice: "No, I just wonder when you will recover."
"I'm fine. You must have not had a good rest last night. Go back and take a good bath tonight. I'll be out of the hospital in less than a week."
I nodded and told her to rest early. I turned around and took a long breath. How could I feel like a thief after living for twenty years, just because I started to know that I wanted to see someone?
The street lights in the community were very bright. I was slowly walking home alone when a voice came from behind me: "Hey! Black monkey!"
Looking back, I didn't know why I was so happy for a moment, but my face immediately became stern. I looked at him and said with some disdain, "Why are you here?"
Zhuo Jing walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets: "What, am I not normal here?"
"Then why don't you go to the hospital to see me today?"
He suddenly smiled and looked at me: "Why, do you miss me now?"
I blushed: "I want my phone back!"
"That's right. I have your cell phone here. I found it too noisy and turned it off. If you want it, just call Big Brother and I'll give it to you."
"Tch!" I raised my eyebrows: "I won't let you catch me!!"
After saying that, I walked home with my head held high, wishing that the wind would blow under my feet. He kept saying "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh" behind me.
He jogged a few steps to catch up, looking at me sitting on the ground with my teeth grinning, speechless: "Didn't I remind you, this community is going to expand the green belt, and there are potholes on the roadside, so you should keep an eye on it."
"If you don't, hey, I can step into the pit, it's not your fault!" It hurts so much that tears are coming out, so I said it was a mistake. When I see him, I will be hurt, either in my head or my feet.
.
This time he didn't say anything to me. He knelt down in front of me and said, "Come up, I'll carry you back."
Seeing that I didn't move, he added: "You are so heavy now. If you forcefully walk, it will be serious. Don't blame me. This is your chance. Please..."
"Come on, come on."
Before he could finish his words, I raised my arms. When he stood up, I seemed to be able to smell the shampoo on his head. My feet ached and my heart felt beautiful. I had never been carried on my back since I was a child. First of all,
The first time I felt like I was riding in a sedan chair, it was shaky, but it seemed quite comfortable.
He didn't carry me directly to the private clinic in the community. My ankle was a little swollen. After spraying the medicine and applying the medicine cloth, he continued to carry me home. At that time, I suddenly came up with the idea that this road is long.
Just a little is enough, so that it can be carried all the time.
"I must be very heavy."
"It's not light anyway."
I grunted silently. If I can't say anything nice, if you don't take me lightly, I will crush you to death.
"Why does it suddenly seem a little heavier? Are you trying too hard there?"
I wanted to laugh, but I held it back and said, "No, you must be tired. You lack exercise."
"How about you get wet twice more and I practice more?"
I looked at the hair on the back of his head: "Look, it's exposed. Just be careful."
After opening the door and entering the room, he slowly put me on the sofa. I suddenly felt melancholy as if I was forced to land. He sat next to me and looked me up and down: "Do you know what I am thinking?"
I moved to the side: "Anyway, if you don't wish me well, why do you always look at me like this?"
He laughed, and I couldn't understand why he laughed, "Why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at you for becoming stupid. Remember, you were quite capable before. You still have to ask me to apologize to you and say I was wrong. Otherwise, you will ignore me."
I didn’t expect him to remember so clearly how I was so strong back then. Looking back now, I’ve been teased by him one after another. No, it’s not that I’m weak, it’s that someone has changed a lot, taking advantage of my age.
The light, so bully people.
"Then...where have you been today?" I still couldn't help but want to ask.
He took the sofa cushion and put it under my feet, and said lightly: "I'm going home. I have to let my family know that I'm back. Then I went to see my uncle. He wasn't there, and my second grandma insisted on letting me
Eat some food there, and I saw you as soon as I left."
"Second Grandma?" The younger uncle's mother must be his own mother, "Why are you still calling me Second Grandma? Isn't my younger uncle your biological uncle?"
He raised his eyes and looked at me: "This is more complicated. My grandmother passed away very young, and my grandfather married another one. My father and my brother-in-law have the same father, so my brother-in-law's mother is my second child."
grandmother."
I asked why the aunt didn't live with Zhuo Jing's parents. I thought she was jealous of the younger son, but that was the problem.
"So, has my sister-in-law been happy at your second grandma's house all these years?" I always felt that there was something wrong with my sister-in-law being there. She said she was going on a trip, but I haven't seen her come back these days. Where did she go?
Zhuo Jing's expression paused, and he frowned slightly: "I don't know very well, I haven't been back much in these years, but I heard that the second grandmother was a little unhappy about the child, and nothing else.
Got it, why, did your sister-in-law tell you something?"
He lowered his eyes and said, "I haven't seen her yet. What can she say to me? But I think even if I see my sister-in-law, she won't say anything to me. In her eyes, I'm just a child."
He raised his eyebrows: "You have already reached the legal marriage age and still have a child. You are just pretending to be young."
She rolled her eyes at him: "I don't have to pretend to be younger than you."
He looked at me with a smile: "Hey, do you remember when you were a child and you said you wanted to be my royal Feng Shui master? I'm going back next month, so you can come with me."
I was a little confused for a moment and lowered my eyes: "I can't go with you. When the house in my hometown is completed, I will go back with my grandfather. Besides, people say that going abroad is good, but I don't think it is good at all. I can't listen to what I say.
I don’t understand, I’m not used to the food, and, most importantly…”
He raised his eyes and looked at him: "I think I may not be a particularly powerful Feng Shui master like my grandma said when I was a child. I have been out of the business for two years and I haven't done anything big, let alone solved anything with my own hands."
He frowned and said, "But haven't you already settled the family's affairs? I saw them all that day."
"But in the end, it was others who helped me. It wasn't all up to me. Hey, no matter what, I can't stay too far away from home."
"Ma Jiaolong, I found that you are no different from when you were a child. You used to stay with your grandma for three words, but now you can't leave home, right? When will you be able to completely listen to yourself and follow your own ideas?
.”
This man was unhappy even if he said he was unhappy. I raised my eyes and looked at him: "My own idea is to hang out here for a year and a half, and then wait for the house to be built... um."
My eyes widened and I looked at his face that suddenly came towards me, he, he, he, he actually kissed me!
Before I could react, he immediately let go and sat back down in his original position, calmly making me think that everything that just happened was my imagination?!
"Why are you kissing me?" My face started to get on fire again.
He cleared his throat and didn't look at me: "It's back to you. Who told you to kiss me when you were a child?" Then he looked at me and said, "Did you get my permission at that time?"
"But, but..." This obviously took advantage of me and left me speechless.
He stood up and walked next to me: "I'll carry you upstairs."
I looked up at him. At that moment, I admitted that I was thinking too much, but the next second, my body reacted, which made me panic. It was like a basin of cold water was poured on my head. I pulled the sofa cushion and covered it with my head.
On the lower abdomen: "No, no need, I'll go up by myself later."
"What's wrong with you? Your stomach feels uncomfortable."
"No! Don't touch me!!" I suddenly felt a little excited. I had some secrets that I could tell others, but I didn't want them to know.
"Zhuo Qilin, you go back first. I'm going to sleep here tonight. It's very late. You should go home quickly." I lowered my eyes and spoke incoherently, the little drum in my heart beating loudly.
My body suddenly flew into the air, and I screamed in fright. I still held the cushion in my arms to cover up the embarrassment: "What are you going to do!"
"Go upstairs and rest." He said with some displeasure, and went directly to the bedroom on the second floor. He watched me hugging the cushion and never let go, "Are you used to sleeping with your arms around it?"
After covering myself with the quilt, I turned over and felt physically and mentally weak. Fortunately, he didn't notice.
"You're angry?"
I pulled the quilt: "No, I want to rest, you can go first."
I felt him put something on my pillow, "I received a call from your father in the afternoon. He may be coming over. Don't forget to turn on your phone later."
My dad? Before I could ask, he had already turned off the lights in the room and closed the door and went out.
I turned on the bedside table lamp. I think he must have thought that I was angry because he kissed me, but in fact he was not. I still felt a little uncomfortable down there, which made me feel ashamed.
After opening the phone, a text message came in, showing Ren Qilin, 'Go to bed early, good night.'
It seems that Zhuo Jing has saved his own number on my mobile phone. I opened the address book and added that he originally had five contacts. Now he, his uncle, and his grandfather are the only ones left.
He actually deleted the phone numbers of Cheng Baize and Wen Xiaoni. I immediately sent a text message back to Zhuo Jing: "You know you are boring, why did you delete my contacts?"
After waiting for two minutes, he replied, 'What's the connection between a man you're not familiar with and an unusual woman?'
I frowned and was about to reply, "Why are you calling me abnormal?" It suddenly occurred to me that since he knows what I'm doing these days, he must know that Wen Xiaoni said he likes me, so he said it's Wen Xiaoni here.
Ni is an abnormal person, which means that he is not very accepting of this kind of thing. However, if he knows about me, will he think that I am also abnormal?
‘Ding Dong~Ding Dong~~’
Early in the morning, the doorbell rang downstairs.
I thought wildly all night and never slept well. When I got up, I put a little pressure on my feet on the ground. I could walk, but I was just a little weak. I opened the door with a slight limp. I saw someone just halfway up the stairs.
Zhuo Jing went to open the door, and I was stunned for a moment: "You didn't leave last night?!"
He looked back at me and said, "The sofa is very comfortable. It's different wherever you sleep." After saying that, he looked at me again and said, "Can you walk on your feet?"
I nodded: "I can go." After saying that, I watched him open the door. Although I had already thought about the person who came in, I still looked a little surprised: "Uncle, Dad, why are you here?"
My uncle was even more surprised than me when he saw Zhuo Jing: ‘Qilin?! Are you really here! My elder brother told me that you answered the phone, but I still don’t believe it. When did you come back!”
Zhuo Jing nodded to my father, and then looked at his uncle: "I have been back for a few days, and I went to see you, but you are not at home."
"No, then can you come back to your school?" My uncle looked at him anxiously: "Didn't I tell you to put your studies first? How could you come back?"
Zhuo Jing was a little unhappy and looked at him: "Why are you talking about this when I've already come back? I'll go back next month, so don't talk about me now."
Seeing that Zhuo Jing was unhappy, my uncle could only hold back and stop asking. He looked at me walking over with a slight limp: "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with your foot?"
"Oh, I sprained a little bit. It's okay. Uncle, please sit down. Dad, please sit down."
Dad nodded, sat on the sofa nearby and looked at me: "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, I knocked a little." As I said that, I glanced at Zhuo Jing specifically, and it was all thanks to him.
"Well, Qilin, why don't we go back first and let Qiaoqiao talk to his father."
Zhuo Jing stood still and looked at my dad: "Uncle Lin, it shouldn't be a secret. We won't disturb you here."
I glanced at Zhuo Jing, and I didn't want him to leave. I didn't want to face my dad alone, because I could almost guess why he came to see me.
"Oh, it's okay. Well, brother-in-law, you can sit down too." Dad responded repeatedly, looked at me, and cleared his throat: "Qiaoqiao, why don't you give Dad a call these days?
I wonder if you are doing well."
"I gave my grandpa a shot. I thought he would tell you." I lowered my eyes and replied calmly.
Dad looked a little haggard, but I think this is normal. If something happened to his factory, he would definitely be angry. "Qiaoqiao, you know what happened at home."
"Um."
"Don't worry. Your uncle helped dad handle it all. He lent dad money to get over this hurdle. Dad thought, it's not a problem for you to be out there by yourself. I came here specially to take you back this time.
, I have also talked with your aunt and her family. You are not that noble person from Xiaojing. They all understand why you came to the city. No one can say anything to you. Just pack up and let’s go home in the afternoon."
Looking at it, I knew it was this. I tried my best to raise the corner of my mouth and looked at my father: "Dad, when you come to pick me up, do you think that what grandma said back then has come true?"
Dad's body trembled: "You kid, how can you say this?"
I dug my hands tightly into the sofa cushions to control my emotions so that I wouldn't feel uncomfortable. Even if he said he would take me home two days earlier, or pick me up on my second or third day here, I would never think too much about it.
Yes, it was just during this time that he specifically asked me if I knew what happened at home. Isn't it obvious that he wanted me to go home so that they could feel at ease?
"Dad, why didn't my grandpa come?"
"He, he's not in good health, so I didn't let him come, but your grandpa misses you and wants you to go back so he can live with you!"
Taking a deep breath, what I said was so nice, I raised my eyes and looked at him, "Dad, my grandpa also thinks your reasons for letting me go back are too chilling, so he won't come."
"Qiao Qiao! Why are you so ignorant! Well, even if dad says that because you left, your grandma's formation may have been affected. This time period is too coincidental. Is it possible? You have to see
Is your father's business getting worse and worse? Do you want your mother and brother to live more and more difficult lives? You are so cruel, Qiao Qiao!"
It was too soft, but it became hard, and began to threaten me with family affection, but this family affection was too light and thin. My eyes were sore, but I didn't want to cry: "Dad, I didn't cry. I didn't cry when I left."
Dad was stunned for a moment: "What?"
"My tears were used as talismans for the fortune-making formation that my grandma made. As long as I didn't leave the Lin family in tears, the formation would not be broken. I didn't shed a single tear, so the formation is still there. The factory is on fire.
, has nothing to do with my departure, it can only be a coincidence." I gritted my teeth and finished speaking, my mouth was bitter and astringent.
"Yes, brother, I also think this matter has nothing to do with Qiaoqiao. We can't just let it be what the elder sister says. For a girl like Qiaoqiao, she should go wherever she wants according to her own heart. We
Sir, please don't interfere too much, it's unfair to Qiao Qiao." The uncle on the side might not be able to stand it anymore, so he opened his mouth to advise.
I didn't know what he said, but I couldn't bear it at all, and the tears I had been holding back for a long time just flowed down.
Dad was obviously losing face. He looked at me and stood up, and sighed: "I asked myself if I am good to my daughter. I should think about whether my daughter leaving home and not crying is really for the good of her parents, or is it because
I have no feelings. You have never regarded me as your father. Qiaoqiao, can you be here for a while? Can you be here for the whole life? You have to go back sooner or later. It is better to leave with your father now. Do you really want your mother to be here?
Does Auntie blame you?!"
"What right do they have to blame me!!"
I exploded and stood up and looked at him: "Does it mean that I am a Sangmenxing? I did not choose to be born! Does it mean that I am a freak? Then why don't you blame my mother? Why did you give me such a birth! Why are all the people born like this?
All the faults are to be blamed on me! Can you please stop being so selfish! Ah!"
'Snapped'!!
"Brother! What are you doing to the child?!" Zhuo Jing was about to step forward in a hurry, but his uncle stopped him and said to his father quickly.
"You are not my daughter!!" Dad's eyes were red with anger, his fingers were trembling as he pointed at me, spittle sprayed all over my face, as if I had just hit him, "How could any daughter talk to her father like this! When you were a child
Is this how your grandma taught you? Talk to your parents like this! I really don’t know who you look like!"
"Haha." I think I was stunned, but I could still laugh, and there were no tears in my eyes: "I don't want to be your daughter, your child. In this way, I can still get
At least respect me. I don’t care about my living environment, what I eat or what I wear, but can you give me a pair of parents like other families? Don’t just give me two names, dad and mom. I really don’t know mom and dad.
What is it for? Is it just to make me look cheap? Dad, tell me why you are doing this to me..."
Dad's mouth trembled twice and he looked at me: "What have we done to you? If we hadn't given you money every month, would you have grown so big? Qiao Qiao, you really make me sad."
As he said that, his father took a long breath and waved his hand: "That's all, that's all. I understand that you are angry, but I didn't expect that your prejudice is so deep. I will tell you today clearly that since you are not Xiaojing's
Sir, there is no need for your uncle to help you live in this big house. If you don’t go back with me now, it will be difficult for you to step into our house again, because you have already broken the hearts of the whole family. Now
I'll ask you again, will you come back with me? This is the last time I ask you, Lin Qiao, you have to think clearly. Since you were born in this family, you have no choice but to face it. You can stay here for the rest of your life.
Well, what will you do in the future? Are you going to rely on your family?"
I had nothing to say. I didn’t expect that they would force me like this, just to let me go back to make them feel at ease and make them make money. I opened my mouth: "I..."
"I support you."
I was stunned and looked at Zhuo Jing, what did he say?
"Qilin, what did you say?" My uncle looked at Zhuo Jing in surprise.
Dad was also stunned, "Xiaojing, you..."
"I said I support you." Zhuo Jing said calmly and glanced at his father: "Uncle Lin, this is the first time I have met a father like you, including your family, which has given me a lot of experience..."
"Qilin!" My uncle wanted to interrupt him, but Zhuo Jing glanced at him: "Uncle, please let me finish what I said, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself."
The younger uncle could only look at him anxiously and angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, those are Qiaoqiao's family!"
"It's the best." Zhuo Jing replied with a cold face. Looking at his father's stiff face, he continued: "Don't worry, your family doesn't have to worry about her future. I will marry her after I come back from abroad."
I froze, and the three people in the room were stunned. They all stared at Zhuo Jing. After a long while, my uncle said in a trembling voice: "What...what did you say?"
Zhuo Jing glanced at me and continued: "I said she is under my control and I will marry her." (To be continued)
