Chapter 59: Back to Hometown
At six o'clock in the morning on the sixth day of October, Shi Jing drove his clean bright and reflective Land Rover to appear downstairs in the community on time, this time he rarely did not wear black clothes, changed into a gray casual clothes, slightly loose clothes showed that he was not as skeletal as before, and more or less diluted the sense of alienation and indifference in isolation on his body, but his face was still a little white, and his eyebrows fluttered involuntarily, probably caused by nervousness.
Si Qi, who was also wrapped in gray casual clothes, looked at Shi Jing from a distance of a few steps, both gray and gray, like a couple, God knows, she never knew that President Shi Da would suddenly change the color, which caught her off guard, she couldn't go back and change her clothes now, right?
Sure enough, Shi Jing looked at her twice, and soon her eyelashes trembled and her eyes drooped, her face slowly floated a thin layer of red, and her two hands couldn't help but twist the corners of her clothes.
Si Qi: "......"
She also wanted to make a shy look, so as to find a ladder to get off the stage for this inadvertent collision, but unfortunately she tried several times, but she couldn't get any results, so she could only give up and stand and laugh, it is estimated that she will hit the shirt a thousand times again, and her face will not be a little red, thinking of this, she can't wait to look up to the sky and sigh, and applaud her cheekiness silently.
The two of them are completely like reversing their genders, she is like a thick-skinned iron man, Shi Jing is like a subtle and shy girl, and she thinks of what Wang Jing said, if you want to achieve your goal, you have to spoil him like you want to do your best, and now when she looks at it, she feels more and more funny.
Si Xiaojun looked at his father, who lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, and then looked at Mommy who was looking up to the sky and sighing, decisively let go of his hand, ran over excitedly, pulled the car door by himself, got into the back seat, obediently fastened his seat belt, and then rolled down the window, and said excitedly: "Mommy, get in the car, I want to take my dad home, I want to take my dad home." ”
Shi Jing was like someone pressed the open button, hurriedly turned around to drive for her, and turned back to the driver's seat.
Si Qi sat in the passenger seat full of emotion, and only after fastening her seat belt did she say: "I also brought my driver's license, we can change the drive, this trip has to drive for more than ten hours, one person is too tired, and it is not safe." ”
Shi Jing nodded, got into the car without saying a word, and slowly drove the car out of the community.
It is still the National Day holiday, the city of Tianjin is empty, the road is unimpeded, from the city to the highway, it took less than two hours of effort.
Si Qi looked at his mobile phone, and said without raising his head: "We expect to arrive home at about six o'clock in the afternoon, and then we can directly eat dinner and rest, the boat and car are tiring, my parents will not pull you to say homely, tomorrow morning I will take you around to enjoy the beautiful scenery of our hometown, you should go out to travel, and we can retreat on the 10th, go this time, it is estimated that my mother will not urge us to go home this year and next year." ”
If she settles down in Jincheng and buys a house, it is estimated that her mother will not urge her to go home again, after all, she stayed at home for a while, and her life was not happy, her mother's idea is very simple, as long as she becomes a family and has that red book, it is like having an explanation for her family and all the people who have pointed behind her back, and she can gag their mouths for a long time, as if she has been taken care of since then, and they can also put their minds at ease.
As for the so-called love, it is estimated that it is difficult for the older generation to take these into account, just take her mother as an example, she thinks that the other party has a good family, and she can take care of her and Xiaojun, and the feelings are slowly cultivated over time.
Shi Jing glanced at her quickly, but unfortunately he only saw her side face, and after a long time, he hummed and said, "It's okay, I can do it." ”
Si Qi smiled and didn't speak again.
The trip was far away, Shi Jing was driving, and it was not easy to chat, but after being silent, she felt uncomfortable from beginning to end, even every hair was clamoring for depression and boredom, and she was about to take out a book to read, but Shi Jing suddenly said: "Why don't you rest first, I'll call you when you get to the place, I'll drive alone." After a pause, he added: "Don't worry, there will be no problems." ”
When Si Qi heard this, he was overjoyed, even if he pretended to be asleep, it was better than being relatively speechless, and hurriedly picked up the conversation: "Then I'll squint first, and when I get to the next service area, you call me, let's rest." ”
Shi Jing hummed and drove the car intently.
Si Qi immediately put the car seat back slightly, turned sideways, faced the window and half-lay down, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, Si Xiaojun in the back seat had already slept with drool.
Now there are only three hours before the next service area, I thought I wouldn't really fall asleep, but I didn't expect that when Si Qi woke up, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Si Xiaojun was holding a hamburger and nibbling on a mouth full of salad dressing, seeing that she woke up, he hurriedly handed over a bag: "Mommy, you slept so well just now, Dad won't let you bother, we'll go eat KFC by ourselves, this is for you." ”
Si Qi subconsciously touched the corners of his mouth and looked at Shi Jing embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I overslept." ”
Shi Jing bent the corners of his mouth, as if he was quite happy: "It's okay, you have a good rest, I'm not tired." ”
On the highway, there was no way to change cars with him, Si Qi had to open the bag in annoyance and start to eat lunch, she really didn't expect that she slept for five hours this night, which was simply an unimaginable thing, she was in front of Shi Jing, next to someone she didn't know, fell asleep so quickly, and she slept so deeply, she didn't even have a dream, it felt unscientific to think about it.
After eating the hamburger and looking out the window at the vast mountains and the speeding forest, she wanted to say something to soothe the atmosphere but also pressed it in her throat.
In this eerie silence, they finally reached their destination.
Liangshan is in the northernmost part of H province, is a typical mountain town, surrounded by mountains, clouds and mist, quite a feeling of fairyland on earth, there are no factories here, there is no pollution, look at all the green farmland and deep mountains and old forests, the autumn breeze is blowing, send a light but attractive fragrance of flowers, a small mountain village town is located between the deep mountains and old forests, a clear river passes through the middle of the town, divides the town into two.
It was close to seven o'clock, and finally arrived home, Si Qi said hello to his mother in advance, and the door was quiet, and there were really no imaginary relatives gathering, dogs barking, but two red lanterns were hung under the eaves, and the lights were sent far and far softly, which made people look amiable.
As soon as the car stopped, it was as if there was a monitor installed at the door, and before Si Qi could get out of the car, he saw the gate open, and his mother Comrade Zhang Xingmei stood at the gate with his father Si Jianguo, and the two looked at the car with their eyes in sight.
Si Qi whispered: "It's okay, you just call someone, and I'll deal with the rest." ”
Shi Jing nodded, waiting for Si Qi to get out of the car, quickly stuffed a few pills into his mouth, he had no condition to drink water, he had to swallow it raw, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and he tried to take several deep breaths before trying to open the car door and get out of the car, but he didn't expect Si Xiaojun to jump out of the car first, and when he came, he hurriedly came over and took his hand, jumping up and down and shouting as he walked: "Grandpa and grandma, Xiaojun misses you so much." ”
Shi Jing tightened his pants more and more nervously, fortunately, after driving for a day, the sky was a little dark, and his pale face probably wouldn't look too strange.
Nearby, Si Qi quietly introduced: "This is my father and my mother." ”
Shi Jing hurriedly coughed lightly: "Dad, mom is good." ”
Zhang Xingmei had already laughed like a flower, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, good ....." As she spoke, she stood next to her and said, "After driving for a day, you must be tired, hurry up and go in and rest, I have dinner ready, rest, wash your hands and start eating." ”
Si Jianguo finally had the opportunity to put out his father-in-law's money, looked Shi Jing up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and turned around and followed into the house.
Shi Jing took two steps, saw that Si Qi didn't follow, turned her head to see that she was carrying the gift alone, her heart jumped, she suddenly felt a mistake, and hurriedly turned around to help Si Qi get something.
According to Wang Jing's prompts, he prepared Su embroidery in advance, a chess carved by small leaves of red sandalwood, some supplements often drunk by the elderly and a box of bird's nest, as well as a few pots of flowers and plants bonsai adapted to local cultivation, and a huge rear trunk, the two of them moved for a long time to finish, although Si Qi's parents complained that the family was still so polite to break the fee, but their faces were full of satisfaction, and they specially sealed a red envelope for him, which was a good start, so that he was finally slightly relieved when he was nervous to the extreme.
It was probably night, it was inconvenient to say more, after eating, they were driven to the new bedroom to wash and rest, Si Xiaojun slept with his grandmother, and the master bedroom upstairs was left to Si Qi and Shi Jing, Si Qi's original bedroom was too small to fit this big bed, so it was put into the cold palace by Comrade Zhang Xingmei, and it became a collection room for Si Qi's old things, this room was the largest room in their family, and it was specially set aside for them as a happy room.
Si Qi spread the quilt on the bed, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Are you okay? My mother doesn't know the taste of our here, can you eat it or not." ”
This time her mother was not as excited as she was in Jincheng last time, except for looking at Shi Jing with a smile and constantly letting Si Qi give him food, she did not interrogate her mother-in-law again, and her father was even more unlikely to nag, just expressed her welcome in a few words, which seemed simple but was the most intimate, although Shi Jing's face was fair, but she insisted on sitting until the end, and she also diligently helped her mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Under Si Xiaojun's publicity, his image became taller and taller, and his mother and father had a finally relieved expression.
Shi Jing stood not far behind her, his eyes firmly watching her movements, and when he heard the words, he hummed softly and said, "I'm fine..." ”
