This was the first time I saw him so excited. At the same time, I became even more worried about Tong Yao...
Lin Yi didn't talk to me for long that day because he said he wanted to talk to Shi Yanni about other things. So I left quickly.
That night I came out of Lin Yi's study. When I got to the living room, I found that the child had fallen asleep in Shi Yanni's arms.
"I'm leaving. Aunt Shi." I greeted her. After all, she is Chen Yuan's mother and Lin Yi's wife, so I should be more polite to her.
In fact, I have always had a feeling that Shi Yanni does not like me. I think she accepts me entirely because of Chen Yuan and Lin Yi. Because of this, I have always been so mutual with her.
Polite, as polite as an outsider. This excessive politeness makes me always feel trembling when in front of her, and also makes me unwilling to come to her home unless there is nothing to do.
At first, I thought it was because she knew that Chen Yuan and I were dating other women before we got married, so she kept treating me with such a lukewarm attitude. But then I found that it didn’t seem like that, because
After Chen Yuan left this world, her attitude towards me did not deteriorate. It was still as lukewarm and polite as before. Although she occasionally blamed me, it was all because of the child.
In fact, when I said those words to her, I was standing not far in front of her, and I was also looking at the child in her arms. In my heart, I wanted to see the child again when he was sleeping.
.A sleeping child is cuter because he will not resist my affection for him.
However, she immediately made a silencing gesture towards me, and then whispered to me: "The child just fell asleep, don't wake him up."
So, I had no choice but to leave, but before leaving, I said one more sentence to her, "Thank you for your hard work. I leave all the children's affairs to you."
She glared at me and then smiled, "We are all a family, why are you talking about this?"
In this way, I left Lin Yi's home. At that time, I didn't take what happened that night at all seriously.
For many years after that, I have always regretted that I did not hug my child properly when I left that night. My hasty departure that night became the biggest guilt and pain I have experienced in many years.
Driving out of the community where Lin Yi's home is located, after turning a few turns, I suddenly discovered that there was a late-night snack vendor on this branch road, and there seemed to be quite a few diners.
I suddenly felt hungry.
Although I ate a lot when I was at Secretary Qiu's house, it was not so casual after all, so my belly was not completely filled.
So I parked the car on the side of the road and walked towards the lively place. The first feeling after getting off the car was that it was cold.
The winter in Jiangnan is so cold. This year I seem to feel the cold more clearly. I heard that as a person gets older, he will become more sensitive to the cold. Now it seems that this seems to make sense.
This winter night was very cold, as if a huge piece of ice had formed. The pedestrians on the street seemed to have gotten into a trap and hurried along.
The air-conditioning is like a swarm of cunning loaches, omnipresent and pervasive, freezing the half-melted snow on the road surface into ice. The ice is as hard as iron and as slippery as oil.
A drunk man was walking on it. He stumbled and fell heavily to the ground. When he got up, his mouth was full of blood. After spitting, a tooth mixed with blood and water fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. The drunk man
He swore a curse word, staggered for a few steps, fell again, and knocked out another tooth. The huge air-conditioning air swirled, flowed, and flipped in the air; his body changed wildly and flew up and down in the air, crazy.
The ground screamed.
What I saw just now was a food stall, and I walked towards it.
The heat rising from the pot for cooking noodles was sucked away by the air-conditioning a foot above the pot lid and disappeared. The female owner of the food stall was standing on the pot platform converted from a used oil drum to fish out noodles. When she looked up, the man
He said in surprise: Why is your hair all white?
The woman hurriedly pulled her hair with her hands, and some frost-like ice powder fell down. The man smiled and stretched out his horse spoon to drain the water in the water tank. There was a layer of ice on the water. Use the horse spoon.
When the handle was poked, the water tank suddenly broke into pieces with a crash, but the water in the tank was already a large cylindrical lump of ice. The ice lump fell to the ground, and the splash of ice shards covered half of the man's trouser legs.
The woman then laughed: Go back early today and boil a bucket of hot water for you to take a good bath.
But the man said that there were still so many people eating, and there would be more people coming soon. I don’t know when the stall will be closed tonight. Let’s go back and go to bed early tonight.
The woman is still laughing: Then it is even more important to take a hot bath so that you can sleep comfortably.
The man stopped talking and immediately put noodles and green vegetables into the pot.
"I want a bowl of noodles. Spicy." I heard all their conversation just now, and I immediately felt that I rarely envy them. Their life may be very difficult, but their happiness is not something I can have.
I remember a story about a rich couple and a poor couple who were neighbors. The rich couple was unhappy every day, but the neighbors laughed and laughed all day long. The rich wife was very strange, so she asked her husband: How could they still be so poor?
So happy? The rich husband said: They will not be so happy tomorrow. So he secretly threw a big gold ingot at the poor couple's home that night. Not to mention, it was really strange: since the poor couple
After the couple got the gold ingot, they started quarreling every day...
Of course, this story is just a story. Maybe such a thing has never really happened in reality, but the moral is self-evident - rich people may not be able to have happiness. At this moment, when I see these two people doing small business
As a couple, this feeling in my heart became even stronger.
The noodles they made tasted good and were just right spicy. I drank all the noodle soup in the bowl and my whole body felt warm immediately.
After getting in the car, I immediately felt refreshed all over my body. Suddenly I remembered that my child was leaving with Shi Yanni tomorrow, and I hurriedly called my father.
"When will you and your mother come to the provincial capital?" I asked. At this moment, I suddenly felt a great sense of guilt in my heart, because I felt that I should tell my father directly about the child, but I really couldn't.
mouth.
"It will definitely be around New Year's Eve, and I really can't leave recently. There are too many things in the company," he said.
I felt that my father's voice was a little hoarse and sounded tired, so I hurriedly asked him: "Have you caught a cold recently? You have to pay attention to your health. You can do as much as you can for the company."
, don’t work so hard.”
He said: "The main reason is that I have been drinking too much recently and have social activities every day. It is the end of the year and I am treating guests to dinner and drinks every day. I have no choice. What would I do if I don't do this? I think this job is very suitable for me. It is not just for earning money."
Money means I feel a sense of fulfillment in my heart.” (To be continued)
