Chapter 5: The Son Has a Father
Five years ago, she came to Jincheng alone with her son Si Xiaojun, in order to take care of her son, she started as a life teacher in Hongwen Kindergarten, and only started to be a class teacher three years ago.
As soon as she graduated from college, she brought back a son unmarried, which set off a storm in her rural hometown, and occupied the first place in the topic list in the mountain town for a long time.
No way, she has been the pride of her parents since she was a child, a prodigy in other people's mouths, skipping grades along the way and being admitted to the university of her dreams, winning awards in competitions many times, and becoming someone else's child, but no one expected that she would also be injured Zhongyong in the end, although having a child out of wedlock is not shocking now, but she has always been obedient and excellent, which is still difficult for parents to accept.
Now that time is passing, her parents have also gone from the initial anger and disappointment, anger and shame, to the current worrying and diligent expectations, but unfortunately she is not suitable to talk about her dreams anymore because she has made a mess of her life, those glory, trophies, and the gaze of thousands of people have now become shackles that follow her shadows, and she is mocking her unknown past all the time.
When you reach the trough, you will be stained, and it will be difficult to climb to the peak.
In desperation, her parents had to hope that she could enter into marriage, find a suitable person to marry, find a father for the illegitimate child of unknown origin, turn the page of that unbearable past, and it is best to have another child, make up both children and daughters, and go back to the road of life that parents most often plan for their children.
Getting married, having children, and having a stable job, this seems to be the expectation of all parents for their children, as if only marriage is the most stable harbor, is the best destination for everyone, once you don't want to choose this destination, there will be countless people, countless hands, with countless reasons to desperately push you to this destination, in their eyes marriage symbolizes happiness, stability and fulfillment.
Because when you get married, you will be accompanied by someone, and in their eyes, you are not alone, and you will not be old and helpless when you have children, so that they can grow old with confidence.
What a pathetic and ridiculous idea.
The most frightening thing in this world is that you don't know if it's a human or a ghost lying next to you.
Even if she resists and unwants in her heart, she still can't ignore the eyes of her elderly parents that show anticipation and hope, no matter how happy and happy she looks, but there is no marriage, an unmarried mother with an illegitimate child, she is still miserable in the eyes of her parents, if they will die in the future, she is the culprit.
She had to go on blind dates frequently, but to no avail.
Last month, Zhu Yuanyuan's mother Mo Wenqing mentioned Shi Jing to her, and she agreed almost immediately, the person Mo Wenqing introduced, at least the character is guaranteed.
The other party has social phobia, is not good at words, is not close to women and other weird problems, although it is not very moral, but she is really happy in her heart, each has its own life and world, at least there will not be too much trouble to cooperate, and there is no need to go to great lengths to maintain the relationship between the two, there is no difference between having an object and being single.
And each other has family members to deal with, two people take what they need, no one owes anyone, and there is no need to have a psychological burden.
There is no more perfect object than Shi Jing, so she must find a way to maintain long-term cooperation with this person, so as not to miss this village and there will be no more such a shop.
The two walked along the mountain road, no one spoke, although silent, but not embarrassed, probably because of walking for too long, Shi Jing's pale face gradually became bloody, but the sweat stains on his forehead disappeared, looking more like a normal human in addition to being thin.
There is a social phobia walking beside her, Si Qi doesn't have to think about any topics, she doesn't have to pay attention to what is wrong with her words and deeds all the time, and she doesn't need to be anxious about it, but it makes her feel relieved, her steps are much brisker, occasionally bending down to pick up some strangely shaped leaves, and carefully wipe them clean with a tissue, when she is doing these things, Shi Jing will also slow down and wait for her quietly.
When the two walked to the top of the mountain, Mo Wenlan had already laid out the carpet and piled all the food on the ground, Zhu Yuanyuan was lying on the carpet and rolling, Si Xiaojun was busy picking up the fruit she rolled to the ground, and Mo Wenlan was leaning against the tree to play games.
"Mommy. Si Xiaojun's eyes lit up, and he immediately put down the apple in his hand, rushed over, firmly hugged Si Qi's neck, and refused to let go.
Si Qi took his son into his arms, kissed him hard, and asked with a smile, "Are you having fun?"
Xiao Juntong blushed, his bright eyes were bright, he nodded very reservedly, buried his head in Si Qi's shoulder, and looked at Shi Jing from a short distance.
After a while, he suddenly asked in a soft voice, "Uncle, will you be my father in the future?"
Si Qi was shocked by his son's frankness, stumbled under his feet, kicked on the protruding stones, and the whole person involuntarily threw forward, seeing that he was about to have a close contact with the earth, fortunately, a pair of hands stretched out in time next to her, gently holding her waist, and as soon as she stood firm, the hands seemed to be licked by the tongue of fire, and quickly retracted them, and even the whole person couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Thank you..." Si Qi was embarrassed to even raise his head, and hurriedly thanked Xiao Jun and hurriedly put Xiao Jun on the ground, fortunately, the sudden change did not frighten Xiao Jun, he hugged Si Qi's thigh, looked up and smiled comfortingly: "Mommy, I'm fine, have you been scared?"
Si Qi rubbed his little head, and then looked sideways at the people around him.
Shi Jing lowered his head and looked at Si Xiaojun in a daze, and the people hanging on both sides began to subconsciously twist their pants again, and the latter also looked at him with big round eyes, and after a while, he asked again: "Will you be my father in the future?"
Shi Jing finally stretched out his hand slowly, as if he wanted to touch his ears, but in the end his hand was still in mid-air, and he didn't really touch it, the whole person was a little stiff, and after a while, he seemed to have found something, and hurriedly retracted his hand, only nodded invisibly, and a layer of red faintly appeared on his too pale face.
Si Xiaojun's face turned red, and he quickly buried his face in Mommy's lap.
At that moment, Si Qi was actually a little moved, and when he looked at Shi Jing's eyes, he also showed a trace of gratitude.
probably experienced the warmth and coldness of human affection too early, Si Xiaojun was extremely precocious, and sometimes he was even more like an adult than her, who was a mother, saying that he was raised up, but in fact, she grew up quickly in the company of Xiaojun.
Every child needs a father, and this role is the most indispensable existence in everyone's life, although he doesn't say it, but she knows in her heart that Si Xiaojun has always longed for a father.
"Thank you. Si Qi thanked him embarrassedly, his ears were slightly red, his eyes turned around, and when he saw two big and one small three red faces, he couldn't help coughing lightly twice, and led his son forward uncomfortably, Zhu Yuanyuan also pounced when he saw this, took Si Qi's other hand, and dragged the two of them forward with a jump, giggling and showing the leaves and wild flowers he had picked up.
Shi Jing looked at the figures of the three of them jumping up and down, subconsciously looking up at the bright blue sky, although the sun was blazing, it was not dazzling, but there was an unprecedented warmth on the body, the breeze was very light, and there seemed to be a corner in his heart that moved slightly, and the darkness, gloom, pain and confusion that were tightly locked up somewhere calmed down, and he no longer had to come out to brush his sense of existence at any time as before, so that he fell deeper and deeper into the dark quagmire.
Perhaps, what Mo Wenlan said was right.
After the meal, Si Qi was dragged all over the hill by two little ones to find an ant nest, Shi Jing leaned on the trunk of the tree, bowed his head and was silent, looking up from time to time to look at the busy figures of a few people not far away, his expression was quite stable.
"How is it, it's not as terrifying as I imagined, right?" Mo Wenlan looked up at him like a charity, pouted and said: "It took me three days to drag you out, and now it's done, I promised that my salary must be doubled, and I think that my famous T University God has been reduced to becoming a matchmaker who buys and sells, if this is spread, it will affect my image of being wise and martial." ”
Shi Jing's eyes calmly stared down at his fingers that kept pressing back and forth, and he was silent before saying, "Give you five times." ”
"What?" Mo Wenlan was stunned for a moment, and his hand stopped, but in the blink of an eye, someone in the game was smashed to pieces, making him beat his chest for a long time, "Five times? So generous?"
The corners of Shi Jing's mouth brought a faint invisible smile: "Too much, then I'll help you donate it." ”
"Don't, if you like to do good deeds, just use your own money to do it, don't beat my idea again, I have to keep what I say as a matchmaker's tip, this is my lifelong honor, I must keep it myself." Mo Wenlan shouted and covered his wallet, and after he finished shouting, he scratched his chin again, raised his head and half-squinted his eyes, looked Shi Jing up and down meaningfully, and after half a sound, he smiled and dragged out his voice and asked, "It seems that you have good communication with Teacher Si and are making good progress?"
Shi Jing pursed his lips and remained silent, seemingly acquiescing.
Mo Wenlan shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Look, listen to me, Teacher Si is the partner I carefully selected for you, and it definitely meets your requirements, I can see from just now that she is not only beautiful and versatile, but also a person who can consider others very much, and she is also urged by the family to have no way to escape, you are half a catty and eight taels, born as a pair, and you are definitely the best partner to work with." ”
Shi Jing silently cast his gaze not far away, three figures squatting together, surrounded by a small mound, Zhu Yuanyuan's cheerful voice came from afar, so fresh and happy, how many years ago, he also had such a happy life, but unfortunately it was like a thing in his previous life.
Mo Wenlan retracted his gaze that looked at him, focused on the game again, his fingers flew for a long time, and the big devil in the last level was still indestructible and immovable, looking down at him with a contempt for all beings, as if he was laughing at his failure to clear the game, which was quite unpleasant, so he couldn't help but complain: "I have never been able to clear this game, there must still be a problem, go back and study it with the people in the development department, I can't clear the customs, and no one in this world can clear the customs." ”
Listening to his unashamed complaint, Shi Jing bent down and took the mobile phone from his hand, reopened a game, and his hands were as flexible as playing a piano to pluck and jump, three minutes later, the big devil who someone has never been able to kill was bombarded by him, and the equipment sought by thousands of gold fell from the sky one after another, and the earth-shattering roar of the big devil came from the game, as well as the cheers of congratulations on clearing the game.
Mo Wenlan: "......"
It's not scientific!
Shi Jing threw the phone to him, glanced at him expressionlessly, and said lightly: "The R&D department does not take the blame." ”
Mo Wenlan: "......"
For the first time, he discovered that someone had the function of a poisonous tongue.
