Chapter 63: A Chance Encounter
"We stayed in a hostel for one night and had a good rest. Is it okay?" asked Si Xiao cautiously.
Because he didn't know what the situation was over there, if Xia Jin insisted, he would respect Xia Jin's decision.
Xia Jin nodded.
"Good. "After all, it's too late, so many years have passed, and she doesn't know what happened to Dad.
entered the hotel and asked for two rooms, and after Si Xiao settled Xia Jin, he went back to his room.
This hotel is quite clean, but unfortunately, Xia Jin can't sleep.
All I had in my mind was the letter.
She took out the letter again and again, read it and read it, and couldn't stop crying.
My heart throbs, I regret it, I am angry with myself, why should I be so stubborn.
If you had found out earlier, it would have been nice to see what was written in the letter earlier.
Xia Jin, Xia Jin, you're a bastard, you're really a bastard.
Unfilial parents, for so many years, have been imprisoning their own emotions and prejudices.
Hehehe, you deserve it, you deserve it.
Xia Jin, who cried all night, was not in a very good mental state.
At half past six in the morning, Xia Jin tidied up herself, looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes were red, her eyes were bloodshot, and her expression suddenly aged a lot.
She, how could she go to see her father in such a state.
She can't do it anymore to accompany her parents, so why not let her elderly father worry about her current situation?
"Xia Jin, are you up?" Outside the door, it was Si Xiao's voice.
Xia Jin splashed her face with water, at least it doesn't look so bad, right?
When I opened the door, I saw Si Xiao standing at the door with something.
Seeing Xia Jin's appearance, his heart throbbed violently.
How far is this girl going to toss herself?
The more this is the case, the more distressed the people who care about her will be.
"Put on some makeup, give you a look, and I'll take you out for breakfast." ”
Si Xiao went outside early in the morning to see, and not far from the small hotel, there was a vegetable market, and there was an endless stream of hawkers.
That kind of scene is not seen in a big city.
It's true that he likes quiet, but he also likes a place that is full of life.
The reason why he didn't buy breakfast back in advance and give it directly to Xia Jin was that he wanted Xia Jin to go out for a walk and see, at least not always in such a state.
She should relax her mind and be good to her, to her body, and to her.
"Where did you get your makeup?"
If you go to buy it now, it's only six o'clock, which cosmetics store will open at six o'clock?
So she's curious.
"Ahem, my mom left me in the car and forgot to take it. ”
That's true.
Xia Jin glanced at the cosmetics in front of him and shook his head.
Si Xiao's mother didn't like her in the first place, she also used other people's aunt's cosmetics, or the kind that she didn't use for herself, she didn't want to trouble Si Xiao.
"It's good that I'm buying the same set when I go back, you're in a hurry, right?"
Si Xiao's words are always full of magic, so gentle but so gentle, it is difficult to refuse.
Xia Jin looked at the cosmetics in front of her, yes, she can't go to see her father like she is now, right?
In the end, Xia Jin still compromised.
"When I go back, I will buy a set for my aunt and return it to her. This is Xia Jin's last self-esteem.
Si Xiao did not object, but he did not agree.
quietly waited outside for Xia Jin to put on makeup.
After putting on makeup, Xia Jin's improvement was really much better, and even her red and swollen eyes were covered by concealer.
It's the young and beautiful Xia Jin again.
"Well, let's go. ”
Si Xiao smiled at Xia Jin and nodded.
After exiting the small inn house, the two of them walked a few steps to the crowded vegetable market.
There are a lot of people who buy snacks here, and there are also a lot of stalls in designated places, all kinds of things.
Xia Jin was a little dazzled.
"What do you want to eat?"
Si Xiao turned his head sideways and looked at Xia Jin, who looked at the various breakfasts around him.
What kind of fried buns, siu mai, pot stickers, big wontons, small wontons. Fried bread fritters with soy milk.
Hand cakes, and some of them that look like they are full of color and flavor.
My stomach gurgled, I swallowed my saliva, coughed cough, it seemed, it was all delicious.
"Then, let's go to that house and eat. ”
pointed to one of the small stores that had a lot of traffic, but it looked really clean.
Si Xiao nodded, pulled Xia Jin into the store, found a place, and the aunt who cleaned up the things immediately cleaned up the dishes left by the previous guest and wiped the tables on both sides.
"Well, bring us two bowls of porridge and ten potstickers."
Xia Jin ordered the fragrant and pure rice porridge.
"Two bowls of porridge, ten potstickers. ”
The snacks in the town are very affordable, two bowls of porridge, two kinds of pickles are given, if not enough, you can also get it yourself.
Ten potstickers, golden at the bottom, full of aroma, just look at it and make people appetize.
Si Xiao looked at Xia Jin gently, and suddenly felt that Xia Jin at this moment had a little more breath of life.
He likes Xia Jin like this.
After drinking a small half bowl of porridge, there was something in the stomach, Xia Jin ate a potsticker, which was juicy and meaty, and delicious.
"Boss, here are twenty potstickers and ten fried. Pack. Give me more chili peppers. ”
A woman's voice.
"Okay. ”
Xia Jin inadvertently raised her head and met the woman standing outside the hall, who looked to be in her forties and dressed plainly.
It's just that on the right side of the face, there is a scar that is not very obvious, but it can still be seen if you look closely.
"Mom, that auntie over there is so weird, staring at you all the time. ”
Standing next to the woman was a little girl about fifteen years old, with a ponytail, and saw Xia Jin staring at her mother all the time.
Tell her mom out loud on purpose.
That was clearly a warning to Xia Jin.
The girl looks very brave to protect her mother.
Xia Jin was suddenly a little ashamed.
"Xiaoxiu, don't talk nonsense. The middle-aged woman gently reprimanded the girl beside her, then raised her head and nodded apologetically at Xia Jin.
Just at that glance, the whole person was stunned.
She raised her head again and looked at Xia Jin, and Xia Jin also looked at her like that.
The woman's lips trembled.
"Xiao Jin, is that you?"
Xia Jin didn't speak, just looked at the woman in front of her quietly.
This woman whose parents divorced, her father turned around and married in less than half a year.
Yes, it is precisely because of this that she ignored her father's former goodness and complained about her father, and slowly, because her father ignored her, which led to hatred.
Hate for the woman in front of you, hate and hate for your father.
hates her parents, hates that they gave birth to her, but she can't give ordinary families a casual way to enjoy it, and for her, it's the extravagant father's love and mother's love.
At that time, the child next to her complained that her parents disciplined her too much, but for her, those things were luxuries.
The more this happened, the more she hated the two people who robbed her parents. One surnamed Lu and the other are the woman surnamed Gu in front of her.
The woman walked quickly to Xia Jin, her whole expression was a little excited, and she wanted to reach out to touch Xia Jin, but she shrank back again, looking cramped and uneasy, which was a little funny.
But Xia Jin couldn't laugh this time, and even the tip of his nose was a little sour.
Looking at what they are wearing, life should not be very good,
"Long time, no see. Xia Jin couldn't say anything to her, and finally squeezed out four words, for a long time, I didn't see her.
Yes, she saw her, three times, but at that time, she didn't see her once, so she scolded her and called her ugly.
I was really ignorant at that time.
It was precisely because of this that she recognized the woman in front of her at once, she was much older, and if it weren't for the scar on her face, she was afraid she wouldn't have recognized it.
"That, that, you, you, you, today, why don't you go and sit at home?"
After being at a loss for a while, the middle-aged woman finally hesitated but said with anticipation in her eyes, go to the house and sit.
Xia Jin nodded.
"Okay, trouble. ”
Now, I can't say what kind of mood I should have for this woman, but at least, she can't complain about her and hate her.
But if you say accept it, you can't accept it for a while, even though she and her father have been married for so many years.
"Okay, okay, I'll go buy some groceries first, you wait here, wait, how happy your father should be to see you, how happy he should be. ”
As she spoke, the woman's voice became a little choked, and her eyes turned red.
It's just that she didn't want Xia Jin to see it, so she turned around and left in a hurry.
Even the little girl next to me forgot about it.
The little girl took a deep look at Xia Jin, turned around and left with her mother.
Xia Jin sat back on the stool, drank a bowl of porridge slowly, and continued to eat breakfast.
Under such a chance encounter, her state of mind was rarely calm.
Si Xiao sat opposite Xia Jin and didn't make a sound to disturb her.
Until the middle-aged woman came back again and bought a lot of things.
Xia Jin got up and paid.
"I don't know the way yet, I'll lead the way. ”
The woman drove an electric tricycle.
The little girl sat in the back, and Xia Jin and Si Xiao followed behind in the car.
In about twenty minutes, Xia Jin and the others followed Xia Jin's Aunt Gu to the small village where her father had lived for so many years.
There's still a bit of a change in the way it looks here.
Xia Jin's memories of childhood overlapped with the small village in front of him.
The old houses of the past have all changed completely.
It's all getting better.
yes, after all, so many years.
Anyway, I still remember that back then, my grandmother didn't like me.
As for grandpa, I haven't seen it since birth, it is said that my father died in an accident when he was a child, and my grandmother worked hard to pull my father up.
Grandma didn't like Mom, and along with her, didn't like her.
Maybe it's because she's a girl.
I don't know that after so many years, the old lady who doesn't like her is still healthy.
