Lost (novella) Zhang Baotong

Because she works during the day and is accompanied by Chunxia at night, Qiu Wen also feels that the days pass very quickly, and she doesn't know that it is the beginning of autumn, and Xu Bin and her mother have come back from a vacation in Taibai Villa. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info may be the long-term parting that makes Qiu Wen feel lovesick, so as soon as he saw Xu Bin, he felt that half a month of vacation life made him have a different charm and charm, and it was even more amiable and cute.

However, the change in her mother surprised and surprised Qiu Wen even more. First of all, there is the appearance of the mother. In her impression, her mother is a traditional woman who is both simple and beautiful, her dress is basically based on clean and elegant, based on the principle of economy and cheapness, and will never spend too much money on clothing and makeup, nor will she dress herself up too outstandingly. However, her mother has changed, she is wearing a graceful and luxurious dress, wearing small and slender high-rooted shoes on her feet, and the haircut head in the past has also been made into a fine and slightly curly Monroe style, and her lips are painted with a layer of light lipstick, and the whole body is filled with a very clear perfume smell. Therefore, when Qiu Wen just returned to the house after work, she saw Xu Bin sitting cordially with a very foreign young woman and watching TV, thinking that Xu Bin was getting along with a ** person again, and when she was about to get angry, she found that this young and foreign woman was her mother.

And then my mother's personality has changed. Because her mother lives alone all the year round, she is depressed and usually speaks little. However, the half-month vacation life seems to have made my mother a completely different person. She always had a smile on her face, and she talked more than before, and from time to time she told jokes and jokes. She told Qiu Wen anecdotes about the bosses competing at the dinner table and gambling with cash boxes, and told them about the scenes of visiting dance halls at night and hugging and playing with young ladies in the swimming pool. But what her mother talks about the most is the scene and feelings when she and Xu Bin play together. My mother used to be a lover of literature, and she was extremely gifted in narration and description. She described the surroundings of Taibai Villa as like a fairyland, where there are mountains and rivers. The mountains are deep and quiet, the peaks are beautiful, and when the dog days are scorching, there are thick glaciers. There is a small river in the mountains that goes beyond the mountains. The stream in the river is slow, the stones are scattered, and the mountain wind is gusting, which is extremely cool. Every dusk, Xu Bin would take her to the river in slippers, either wading to catch fish together, or floating together, or sitting together talking and laughing and watching the sunset. She also told Qiu Wen that she had learned to take photography and swim, and that Xu Bin had taught her. As he spoke, he took out a large bag of color photos for Qiu Wen to see, and pointed to each photo and said where it was taken. Some photos are of her and Xu Bin, sitting side by side on the stone wall of the river, holding hands and climbing the mountain together, and Xu Bin teaching her to swim in the water. It seems that every photograph contains an enviable landscape and a story. Seeing that her mother seemed to have changed, Qiu Wen was of course happy for her mother, and she was also grateful to Xu Bin in her heart.

My mother stayed with them for two or three days and then went back to the southern suburbs. They thought that it would be too lonely for their mother to live alone in the southern suburbs, so they asked her to live with them, but her mother insisted on going back. Qiu Wen also felt that she and Xu Bin were not officially married, and it was somewhat inconvenient for her mother to live here, so she let her mother go back.

At the urging of their mother, Qiu Wen and Xu Bin set the wedding date at "Eleven". From mid-August to "eleven", there is only one and a half months of preparation time in between. Although the time is short, there is not much to prepare. The house has been renovated a long time ago, the furniture and various supplies are ready-made, and the only thing she can really buy is some small things for decoration. But no matter what she says, this can also make her feel some of the atmosphere and feeling that she is about to get married.

At this time, Qiu Wen was sent by her boss to Guangzhou to buy goods, and it took at least more than a week to go back and forth. Qiu Wen has never gone out alone, and when she heard that there are many liars and bad people in Guangzhou, she felt a little unsure. Seeing Qiu Wen's anxious and helpless look, Xu Bin said, "Can you go to another person?" Qiu Wen said, "No, the boss said that there is no one, everyone else has been there, and this time it should be my turn." Xu Bin said, "Otherwise, I will accompany you to travel." Qiu Wen thought for a while and said, "Forget it, the factory and the store have been very busy recently, and I can't do without you." I've never left here since I was a kid, and now that I'm so old, it's time to go out and explore. Besides, the boss has given me the phone number and address of the contact person and asked me to call him for help. So, early the next morning, Qiu Wen was sent on the train by Xu Bin.

Because she had already contacted the people over there in advance, Qiu Wen was taken to a hotel by a car as soon as she got off the train, and then the people took Qiu Wen's list to stock up. In the remaining two days, Qiu Wen was fine, just wandering around the streets and shopping malls all day long. On the third day, the manufacturer had already prepared the goods and sent someone to drive Qiuwen to the warehouse for inspection. Because they are all acquaintances and acquaintances who have been dealing with each other all year round, they are more trustworthy, so Qiu Wen symbolically took a look at the goods and signed and paid. Originally, Qiu Wen could stay in Guangzhou for another two days, but she was homesick and anxious to return.

Before getting on the train, she called Xu Bin several times and wanted Xu Bin to pick her up at the station. However, Xu Bin's mobile phone was turned off. It was half past ten o'clock in the evening of the next day when I returned to Xi'an from Guangzhou. Qiu Wen got off the train and returned to her home in the northern suburbs. There was no one at home, which made Qiu Wen both disappointed and confused. She knew that Xu Bin had gone to bed at this time, and when she saw that the bowls in the kitchen hadn't been brushed for several days, Qiu Wen was even more puzzled. So, he called the timber processing factory, and the old man who guarded the door said that everyone in the factory had gone home from work. Qiu Wen called Manager Wang, and Manager Wang told her that her mother was sick, suffering from acute pleurisy, and had been hospitalized for three or four days, and Boss Xu had been accompanying her in the hospital for the past few days.

When Qiu Wen heard this, she immediately blocked the car and rushed to the hospital. When I went to the inpatient department of the hospital, the inpatient department said that her mother had been discharged in the evening. Qiu Wen relieved her heart and began to walk to her mother's house in a hurry. At this time, it was almost midnight, and the lights had been turned off in the house from a distance, and it was silent. After thinking about it, my mother had already fallen asleep. Qiu Wen came to the door of the house, knocked on the door gently, and saw no echo, so she took out the key and opened the door. She went into the living room and turned on the light, and when she saw that the door of her mother's room was closed, she went over and pushed open the door of her mother's room, wanting to ask her about her condition. As soon as she entered, before she could turn on the light, she heard the breathing of two people in the room. Startled, she turned on the light. The scene in front of her was like a thunderclap exploding in front of her eyes: Xu Bin was sleeping with his mother.

Maybe it was the sudden light that woke Xu Bin and his mother up. The mother opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Qiu Wen?" Xu Bin also woke up at this time, saw Qiu Wen, and hurriedly pulled his arm back from under Qiu Wen's mother's neck, and said in horror, "Are you back?" Qiu Wen gasped angrily for a long time before she said a word, "I really didn't expect that you all slept together." ”

The mother wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain, so she hurriedly covered her face with her hands and cried. Xu Bin was very embarrassed and embarrassed to say something to Qiu Wen, but she didn't hear a word of these words, and she didn't want to hear them clearly, so she said, "It's useless for you to say anything?"

Qiu Wen trotted all the way to the empty and dim street, and heard Xu Bin chasing after her from behind. She stopped a taxi, and as soon as she got inside, she saw Xu Bin wearing a vest and chasing him out of the door of the residential complex. She was afraid that Xu Bin would see her, so she asked the driver to drive the car faster. It wasn't until the car turned around quickly and Xu Bin couldn't be seen that she was relieved.

The car came to the door of a friend in a village in the northern suburbs. After getting out of the car, Miaowen knocked on the door and asked, "Who?" Qiu Wen said, "Chunxia, I'm Qiu Wen." The person inside turned on the light, opened the door, and saw Qiu Wen's dusty and lost appearance, so he asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you just escape from prison?" Qiu Wen said in a very depressed and sad tone, "Chunxia, I want to stay with you for a few days." Chunxia smiled and asked, "Xu Bin doesn't have three bedrooms and two living rooms there, you don't live in such a good place, why do you want to live in my little hut?"

Qiu Wen said angrily, "Don't mention him, I'm angry." Chunxia saw Qiu Wen's angry appearance, so she asked, "What the hell is wrong with him? Chunxia was anxious, so she shook her and said, "What the hell is wrong?" Qiu Wen finally couldn't hold it back, and cried out loudly, saying, "He slept with another woman." ”

When Chunxia heard this, Dao was relieved and said, "What should I do?" A boss like him, who doesn't go out to a song hall and buy women? Don't you know that men learn bad when they are rich, and women learn bad when they are rich? Don't be so angry about this. Qiu Wen said, "But ,......" Originally, she wanted to say that this woman was her mother, but she couldn't say this, which would not only make her mother lose people, but also make her feel humiliated, so she couldn't say this outward.

Chunxia saw that Qiu Wen still couldn't figure it out, so she pulled Qiu Wen into the bed and said, "Don't you hear the saying that 'people learn badly when they reach middle age, and they hold the next generation in their arms'? It's just that Xu Bin is too, a young and beautiful girl like you is not satisfied, and you have to go out to mess with flowers. I told you in the past that middle-aged men are the most and the best at beating young girls, but you don't believe me, and you also say how he knows how to be gentle and considerate, and how he cares about it. Now, you should know what kind of person he is, right?"

Listening to Chunxia's words, Qiu Wen wanted to express the grievances in her heart, but she knew that this kind of thing could only be held in her heart and could never be spoken, so she was speechless for a while, just touched the tears on her face with her hands, and sighed softly. Chunxia saw that Qiu Wen was just crying and refused to say anything, so she said, "Forget it, go to sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow." So, the two of them huddled together in a quilt and fell asleep. As soon as she fell asleep, Qiu Wen's pager rang. Qiu Wen knew that Xu Bin was calling, so she didn't want to reply. However, the pager kept ringing, and there was no way, so Qiu Wen simply turned off the machine.
