Looking for a Lover's Daughter (Family Ethics Novella) Zhang Baotong 2017.2.21

March and April of each year are the busiest time for work, and it just so happens that the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China selects sites in various places to carry out multimedia teaching experiments. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoXi'an primary and secondary school multimedia teaching pilot was selected in our district. As the deputy director in charge of teaching work, I am either busy going to various schools to inspect and observe all day long, or accompanying the inspection team sent by the provincial, municipal or national education organs to supervise and socialize. When I am busy with work, I pay less attention to Huihui. But I noticed that she got up late every day, and when I left for work, she hadn't gotten up yet, and when I asked, she said that she was on the afternoon shift, which was from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. However, she did not come home until eleven o'clock every night. Her explanation was that after work, her colleagues either invited her to dinner or went shopping together. Because I was always busy writing speeches or calling the schools to arrange the next day's work, I didn't ask her too much.

Once, our neighbor man met me at the door of the building and asked, "What is your niece doing now?"

I said, "I work in a mobile phone store at the corner of East Main Street." ”

He shook his head and said, "But, I saw her in the Queen's Ballroom two days ago. ”

The Queen's Ballroom is the most luxurious and famous dance hall in the northern suburbs, where our Education Bureau held a New Year's Gala. I heard that the dance hall costs 10 yuan for admission alone. And a working girl's salary is only 20 yuan a day. Therefore, almost all of the people who can enter the Queen's Ballroom are rich or rich, but there are also some women who specialize in accompanying dancers, and they don't need a ticket to enter the door, and they charge five yuan to dance a tune with someone, and if they want to accompany them for one night, they have to charge twenty yuan. When I heard the neighbor man say that he had met Huihui there, I was a little skeptical and said, "No way, she's been working night shifts in the mall these days." ”

When the neighbor man heard this, he said, "Then maybe I'm looking at the wrong person." ”

I originally wanted to ask Huihui about this, but as soon as I was busy, I forgot about it.

That day, I had dinner with the supervision team of the Provincial Department of Education, and accompanied them to the song hall to sing. Singing and drinking, they didn't break up until one o'clock in the evening. Because I was busy all day and drank a little more wine, I felt a little dizzy in my head. The driver sent me downstairs, and I went up to the fourth floor by myself, opened the door, entered the house, turned on the light, and saw that Huihui's door was open, but there was no one in the house.

I stood in front of Huihui's hut, and I was stunned for a while, so I hurriedly called Huihui. But no matter how many times I called, no one answered. At this time, I was even more panicked, so I called Boss Xin, and the phone rang for a while before Boss Xin replied, "Director Liu, I haven't slept this night, is there something wrong?"

I said, "You haven't seen Huihui, she hasn't come home yet." ”

Boss Xin said, "I haven't seen it, but Huihui no longer works in my store." ”

I was startled and asked, "When did she leave?" because she kept telling me she was on the night shift.

Boss Xin said, "You left the afternoon of the day you sent her here, and I heard a clerk say that she had a man drive away, and that she was going to a place where she made a lot of money because the money was too little to work with me." ”

I said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Boss Xin said, "I thought you knew about this. ”

I started calling Huihui again, but her phone still didn't answer. I immediately remembered what the neighbor man had told me that day, and decided to look for it in the Queen's Ballroom. I wanted to call the driver and ask him to drive me to the Queen's Ballroom, but I thought it would do a lot of damage to my reputation by letting people know that my niece was a prodigal girl. So, I decided to go out and block the car anyway.

I drank too much wine, and when I came back, I felt dizzy, but now I didn't care about the headache and dizziness, so I walked briskly against the night breeze. At the intersection, I blocked a taxi and asked him to pull me to the Queen's Ballroom. But the driver said that the Queen's Ballroom had long been closed and locked. I said I wasn't going to dance, I was going to find someone.

The taxi pulled me to the Queen's Ballroom, where the neon lights were still flashing, but the roller shutter of the gate had been pulled down. I had no choice but to ask a taxi to take me back to the residential complex. When I got home, I sat on the sofa and continued to call Huihui on her mobile phone, but no one answered the phone.

I had to put my phone in front of me, sit back on the couch and wait, hoping that after a while, someone would call. However, no phone calls were made all night.

The next day, I was going to take the supervision team to a few schools to have a look, but after this incident, I still had the heart to go to work, so I called Director Fang, saying that I drank too much last night, felt a pain in my head, and felt weak, and wanted to go to the hospital to see. Director Fang asked me to have a good rest, and said that he would send Deputy Director Yan to accompany the supervision team.

I have a sore head and fatigue, but Huihui has not yet disappeared and is going to die urgently, how can I still have the heart to go to the hospital?

It was about nine o'clock, and my phone rang, and it was Huihui calling. I gritted my teeth and asked, "Where did you die, why don't you go home?"

Huihui squeaked for a long time before saying, "We made an appointment to go to a colleague's house to play together, and we drank too much." ”

I said, "Then why don't you answer my calls, I've made five hundred calls." ”

"I forgot my phone in someone's car," she said. ”

I said, "Where are you now?"

"I'm right on my doorstep," she said. ”

I braced myself up, stood up, and went over to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, I saw her standing in front of it, afraid to come in. I was shaking with anger and tried to pull her into the house and slap her a few times. However, before I could pounce forward, I was stomped by the threshold and fell down in front of the door. Immediately, I felt that my eyes were dark and unconscious.

When I was a little sober, I was pulled to the front of the hospital by a small car, and the driver, like a big boss, sent me to the emergency room, and helped Huihui pay the fee, and then drove away after everything was arranged. I was lying in the hospital bed and never opened my eyes because I didn't want to see her. She made me feel ashamed, irritated, and resentful.

She bought me bread and milk, but I didn't want to eat it at all, and I couldn't eat it. I didn't even know what to say to her. It me off. She sat on the edge of my bed and watched over me, but I didn't say a word to her, or even look at her.

After two or three bottles of sling, I felt much better, and I wanted to leave the hospital early, but the doctor insisted that I finish the injection. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Huihui said that she was going home. I pretended not to hear and ignored her. By four o'clock, I had finished the injection, and I didn't see her come back. I went out by myself and blocked a car to go home. Along the way, I thought about how to discipline her well, so that she would feel ashamed, humiliated, and embarrassed by what she had done.

When I got home, there was no one in the house, but there was a piece of paper on the table. The paper reads: Dad, I'm sorry, but when you saw this note, I was already sitting on the train back to Wuchang. Please don't come to me again, don't disturb my life again. I know everything you do is for my good, but I can't be the good girl you want me to be, just as you can't change my childhood and past. We are the closest people and the most hated people, and we are destined not to be together in this life. When they are together, they will resent each other, torture each other, and finally make everyone irritable and angry. In order not to let you worry about me anymore and be sad and troubled, I decided to stay away from you, so that you can not see out of mind and be upset, as if there is no daughter like me. However, I will always be grateful to you and miss you. Because you are my dearest and dearest relative. Goodbye, Dad!

Although there were many typos in the letter, after reading the letter, I was already in tears, and I couldn't stop calling in my heart, "Huihui, my precious daughter." "I immediately picked up my phone and called her and asked her not to leave, and I would forgive her for everything. However, the phone rang, but no one answered. After a while, the phone was turned off.

I looked at my watch, and it was already 4:40 a.m., but the train to Wuchang had already departed half an hour earlier. I knew I would never see her every day again, and as soon as I thought of it, I sat on Huihui's little bed and began to cry. After crying for a while, I wiped away my tears and felt that my mood seemed to be better. I opened the window and looked into the distance, the sun was shining and the sky was bright. I prayed to the sky, hoping that Huihui would be safe, happy, and take care of herself. I think she can take care of herself, even if one day she can't go on anymore, she can come back here, here is her house, there is her pension. Thinking of this, my heart suddenly opened and the fog dispersed, and the sky was clear.

She is no longer with me and in front of me, and I don't have to worry about her anymore. But I often think of her, I miss her. She is a young and beautiful girl, and she keeps me connected and integrated with my first love. Ah, Huihui, my precious daughter, you know how much I love you!
