Wang Xu was filled with emotion after seeing the old man off.
The old man once had a great time, not to mention being an all-powerful figure, at least he was a well-known figure in the martial arts world.
Thinking of the scene where the old man was drooling and no one could recognize him, Wang Xu had to lament the ruthlessness of time.
"Prepare the car, I want to go out." After learning about the current situation of the martial arts school and antique shop, Wang Xu thought of Xu Jiazhen again and planned to go and take a look.
When they got out of the car at the door, Xu Jiazhen saw her daughter Fengxia before she could see her.
After not seeing each other for a year and a half, Fengxia has grown up a lot and is walking home with her schoolbag on her back.
Two little boys about the same age as her were chasing and playing behind her. At first Wang Xu thought they were Feng Xia's playmates, but the next second he realized that this was not the case.
"Little bastard, little bastard, little bastard without a father." The two little boys jumped up and down, making faces around Fengxia.
Fengxia lowered her head and said nothing, just walked forward in silence.
The two little boys not only did not let Qiuxia go, but instead grabbed her schoolbag from left to right and said playfully: "Little bastard, your schoolbag is so beautiful. Did your wild father buy it for you, or did your mother buy it for you?"
Going to steal a man?"
"Let go, let go!" Qiuxia wanted to push the two of them away, but was pushed to the ground instead.
Fengxia didn't cry even after she fell to the ground. She just held her schoolbag tightly to prevent it from being snatched away by the two of them.
The two little boys pulled hard, snatched the schoolbag over in a few seconds, threw it on the ground, and said loudly: "Your mother steals a man, and you are not a good person, you are a bastard!"
"I'm not a bastard, I don't have a bastard father!" Qiuxia got up from the ground and pushed the little boy on the left.
The little boy was pushed to the ground, patted the dirt on his body, stood up, and asked: "The school tuition is so expensive, we can't afford to go to school, why can you go? It's because you have a wild father."
"I don't have a wild father, so you are not allowed to talk nonsense." Fengxia couldn't help crying, and she still retorted loudly while crying.
The little boy stamped on the school bag with his feet, and the shoe prints were clearly imprinted on the calico school bag. He cursed relentlessly: "My mother said, your mother found a wild father for you, you
Only then can you go to school, otherwise you won’t be able to go to school just like us.”
"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense." Fengxia picked up a clod of soil from the ground and threw it towards the little boy.
"Ouch!" A clod of dirt hit the corner of his eye, and the little boy covered his face and eyes in pain.
Fengxia took this opportunity, ran up, grabbed her schoolbag, and ran away, shouting as she ran, "I'm not a bastard, I don't have a bastard father."
After running a few steps, Fengxia came to the door and saw Wang Xu standing here.
Wang Xu squatted on the ground, glanced at the two little boys who dared not come up, and asked: "Fengxia, do you still recognize me?"
"Who are you?" After not seeing each other for a year and a half, Fengxia no longer recognized Wang Xu, but she just felt that this person looked familiar.
Just as Wang Xu was about to speak, the sound of the door opening came to his ears, and Xu Jiazhen poked her head out.
Seeing Wang Xu, Xu Jiazhen was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "Why are you here?"
"Come here to see you." Wang Xu touched Qiuxia's head and asked Xu Jiazhen: "Long time no see, how are you?"
"Come in first." Xu Jiazhen opened the door and pulled Qiuxia inside.
Wang Xu followed behind, closed the courtyard door after entering, and followed Xu Jiazhen into the room.
I haven’t been here for a year and a half, and Xu Jiazhen’s home is still the same, with no visible changes.
Xu Jiazhen, on the other hand, looked a little haggard, with an indelible sadness in her eyes, as if she was weighing something down in her heart.
"How have you been lately?" Wang Xu sat on the kang, minding his own business and lighting a cigarette.
Xu Jiazhen held Qiuxia in her arms and whispered for a long time: "It's not bad. I help cook at the antique shop. I go there every morning and come back at noon, and then go back to cook dinner in the afternoon. It's quite leisurely. I can still do something by myself."
"
When Xu Jiazhen said this, he glanced at the cabinet from the corner of his eyes.
Wang Xu followed her gaze and found a pair of scissors on the cabinet and many cut window grilles.
Most of them have the word "Fu", a few are golden boys and girls, and there are also some various small animals.
Wang Xu walked over and picked up one and looked at it. It was pretty good, so he smiled and said, "When did you learn it?"
"For more than half a year, I heard people say that there is money to be made in paper-cutting, so I thought about trying it myself. At first, I couldn't cut it well, so I could only give it to others for free. Now it is starting to look good. How much can I sell for a piece of paper-cutting?
If you divide the money, you can make a lot of money in one day." Xu Jiazhen lowered her head and looked at her chest, as if she didn't dare to look at Wang Xu.
Wang Xu put down the paper-cutting and looked at Xu Jiazhen quietly. Neither of them spoke.
After a while, Qiuxia made a fuss about going to do her homework, which broke the peace between the two parties.
"Qiuxia, please go to the left room to write today, so as not to disturb you." Xu Jiazhen wanted Qiuxia to go to the left room, but as soon as he said this, Wang Xu noticed that Qiuxia's eyes changed when she looked at him.
There is doubt, disgust, and resistance.
Qiuxia held her schoolbag motionless, her little face tightened, and said: "I won't go, I'll stay here."
"What's wrong with you?" Qiuxia's abnormal behavior puzzled Xu Jiazhen, but Wang Xu frowned slightly.
"I won't go, I just won't go." Qiuxia looked at Wang Xu fiercely and climbed onto the kang with her schoolbag in her arms.
Xu Jiazhen had no choice but to stop caring about her daughter, stood up and walked outside.
Seeing Xu Jiazhen's actions, Qiuxia immediately rushed up and asked, "Mom, where are you going?"
"I'm going to get your Uncle Wang a glass of water. You should do your homework. If you can't finish it, the teacher will hit you again tomorrow." Xu Jiazhen answered casually, but before she could leave the door, Qiuxia jumped off the kang.
He came down and hugged her thigh: "I won't let you go."
"What's wrong with your kid?" Xu Jiazhen scolded her, and she made Qiuxia cry with just one sentence.
Qiuxia held Xu Jiazhen's leg with one hand and pointed at Wang Xu with the other, crying: "Is he your wild man?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Jiazhen got angry and pulled Qiuxia away.
Qiuxia reluctantly hugged him again and cried loudly: "You said my tuition was given by Uncle Wang. Is it this Uncle Wang? Is he your wild man? Do you want to break your shoes with him?"
"Pa!" Xu Jiazhen raised her hand and slapped Qiuxia to the ground, with tears in her eyes.
After all, Qiuxia was still young and didn't understand her mother's difficulties at all. She sat on the ground and cried loudly, saying: "I won't go to school anymore. Let him go. Let him go. I don't want a wild father."
"No nonsense!" Xu Jiazhen suppressed her anger, and the mountains on her chest rose and fell violently.
Qiuxia sat on the ground crying and said while crying: "I'm not talking nonsense. Everyone said that I am a bastard. You stole men outside to send me to school. You want to find me a bastard father. Mom, I don't want a bastard father. I don't want a bastard father."
go to school."
When Xu Jiazhen heard this, tears fell instantly.
Only she knows how hard she has lived these years and how hard she has waited.
Xu Jiazhen is not angry when others say these things, but the person who is saying this is her daughter, the daughter she has worked so hard to raise. How can Xu Jiazhen not be sad? If she couldn't bear the loneliness, she would not stay in this yard. She is suffering.
Wait until Xu Fugui comes back.
"Qiuxia, you can't believe what outsiders say." Looking at Xu Jiazhen's appearance, Wang Xu sighed and put Qiuxia on the kang: "Your mother is the best mother in the world, you never know she has
I love you so much, don’t say these words next time, lest your mother will be sad.”
Qiuxia sobbed softly, pushed Wang Xu's hand away, and lay on the bed to cry.
Wang Xu looked at Xu Jiazhen who was wiping his tears. He had a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't say it. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Have you found Fugui?"
Xu Jiazhen didn't speak, but shook her head slightly.
Wang Xu fell into silence for the second time, and after a long time he said: "Don't wait, he won't come back."
