Xia Jin ran to the entrance of the village in one go, tears in her eyes.

The indescribable discomfort in her heart, she didn't even dare to imagine how her father, who had no arms, could support a family.

Empty cuffs echoed in my mind.

It must have been a blur of flesh and blood, and it should have hurt so much.

But what was she doing, what was she doing?

hated them, hated Gu Cai, hated his father, refused to forgive them, and even threw aside the letters sent by Gu Cai in disgust.

Xia Jin, Xia Jin, what have you done all these years?

When Si Xiao caught up with Xia Jin, he saw her squatting next to the car, crying into tears.

My heart hurt so badly that I stepped forward, squatted down, and held her in my arms.

He knew that it was useless to say anything now, and it was better to make her cry.

It's just that he cries a lot, and he is a little worried about Xia Jin's body, which is not in good health, and now that the cancer cells are spreading so quickly, he is really worried.

They came out in a hurry, and they didn't bring the medicine with them.

I don't know if the county hospital has one.

"After a while, your father came out to look for you, and when he saw you crying like this, he thought I was bullying you, would he beat me?"

Half-jokingly opening.

Although it was cruel not to let a grieving person cry, he still had to stop it.

It may be better to let Xia Jin change her mood.

Xia Jin still lowered her head and wept, she blamed herself, he knew.

People, when they are most vulnerable, when they see their dearest people, all the strength they originally pretended to be will actually collapse and disintegrate.

This is the case with Xia Jin.

She felt sorry for her father's life over the years, but she also dismantled the disguise for so many years.

Reached out and touched Xia Jin's head.

"Uncle is here. ”

Si Xiao whispered a few words, Xia Jin's body stiffened, and he suddenly looked up at the road he came from.

As a result, it was empty, except for a few old ladies who watched the excitement and probe their brains, where was their father's figure.

I felt a little lost and sad in my heart.

"Lie to me!" Xia Jin was aggrieved and wanted to cry again.

Si Xiao hurriedly raised his hands in surrender.

"I was wrong, really wrong, don't cry, the makeup is all spent, your face is colorful now. ”

Hearing the colorful face, he pushed Si Xiao away and looked at himself in the rearview mirror.

In addition to crying ugly, where is colorful.

raised his head and looked at Si Xiao.

Can this man lie?

"Okay, let's go to the car to touch up my makeup, Xia Jin is a big girl, she won't want to worry about her father, right? ”

Si Xiao obviously said it very gently, but every word seemed to pierce Xia Jin's heart. Especially that sentence is humiliating.

Yes, the reason why she ran out was because she didn't want her father to see her crying.

glared at Si Xiao, opened the car door, took out cosmetics, and made up for it.

This makeup is very easy to use, and it can perfectly cover the imperfections on the face, especially the red and swollen eyes.

After adjusting her emotions, Xia Jin took a deep breath and made up her makeup.

Get out.

I saw the tall and sturdy figure standing under the camphor tree at the entrance of the village.

The back is slightly bent.

Still wearing rain pants, standing there, standing under the camphor tree, looking at Xia Jin, he didn't take a step forward.

Si Xiao reached out and touched Xia Jin's head.

"Let's go, don't keep my uncle waiting. ”

But Xia Jin, who got out of the car, couldn't take a step. I can't take a single step.

Obviously, my father, who liked it so much in the past, likes to stick to my father's side so much, but now, why can't I move a step?

"Xia Jin?"

Si Xiao glanced back at Xia Jin.

only to find that her eyes began to glisten with tears again.

She didn't move, but Xia Hai walked towards Xia Jin step by step from the camphor tree.

Until it stopped a dozen or so paces away, it didn't come close, and it didn't go far.

"Let's go home and eat. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked in the direction of home.

Xia Jin lowered her head and followed, but the two fathers and daughters kept a certain distance, not approaching, and unwilling to leave.

There was no talk along the way.

Murakami's acquaintance greeted Xia Hai, and Xia Hai only nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a greeting.

When he returned to Xia Hai's house again, he saw Gu Cai standing at the door and looking, and when he saw Xia Jin and them coming back, he stepped forward to greet them with a smile.

In the hall, Xia Jin sat on a stool, silently fiddling with the melon seeds in his hand.

And Xia Hai was standing at the door with Si Xiao.

"Do you smoke?" Xia Hai, who had already washed up and changed into clean clothes, felt out a pack of cigarettes with his remaining hand.

Cigarettes are not a good brand, and even in the countryside, only a few old men smoke them because they are cheap.

Si Xiao smiled and shook his head.

"Thank you, uncle, I don't smoke. ”

Polite juniors.

Xia Hai didn't care, he took out a cigarette from it, put it in his mouth, and then lit it with his only hand.

Si Xiao wanted to be busy lighting the fire, but Xia Hai refused.

"It's not wasted. "It's a man's dignity.

Si Xiao took two steps back with some apologies.

Because he can occasionally watch Nansuke watch TV on weekdays, and the prospective son-in-law sees his father-in-law in it, which is how he pleases.

Why doesn't it work in reality?

After Dad Xia smoked a cigarette, he looked at Si Xiao in front of him.

The young man was very good-looking, very cleanly dressed and looked very polite.

It was because of this that Father Xia frowned slightly, a little worried in his heart.

looks so good-looking, and looks like a child of a rich family when he looks dressed.

Such an excellent boy, isn't it really Xiao Jin's feelings that lie to him?

"Where do you like Xia Jin?" to the point, he doesn't like to go around in circles.

Si Xiao was slightly stunned, and then understood that Father Xia was treating him as Xia Jin's boyfriend.

However, between him and Xia Jin, there seems to be a lack of Xia Jin's nod, it's a boyfriend, there's nothing wrong.

"Just like, all. "Looking back, Si Xiao, who looked at Xia Jin,

I like her stubbornness, I like her death to save face, I like her vulnerability, I like her kindness, I like her true temperament.

It's liking, whether it's good or bad, it's liking.

Xia Hai is from here, Si Xiao looked at the glint in Xia Jin's eyes, it was sincere.

"Be nice to her, she has suffered a lot since she was a child. ”

Xia Hai turned his gaze to the sky outside, his eyes reddening slightly.

He doesn't know how his daughter, who loves to cry, laugh and make trouble, has lived without her father's support over the years.

Did the people at school bully her.

Also, did the stepfather whose mother remarried show her face.

When you are sick, is there anyone around to take care of you.

He didn't know anything.

But he didn't have the courage to see her, because she had a new life, and in the new life, he was not allowed to appear as a failed father.

"I will, uncle, don't worry. I will. Definitely. ”

Si Xiao's solemnity.

Xia Jin here looked up at the two people at the door, but she didn't hear what these two people were saying.

Thinking about how to talk to her dad and speak.

But what do you say? She couldn't even open her mouth to her father, who had been talking about it for the first time in many years.

And how to chat naturally.

At the dinner table, a series of peasant dishes were put on the table.

Gu Cai took out the good wine that Father Xia had treasured.

"Let's eat!" The last dish was served, and five people gathered around a table of eight immortals.

No one moved their chopsticks.

"Come on, Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin's boyfriend, you're welcome, it's just that I don't know if what I do is to your liking. ”

Gu Cai's smile was very simple and realistic.

"Auntie, you've worked hard too, let's eat together. By the way, take a picture, shall we?" Si Xiao shook the mobile phone in his hand.

It's a shame not to take pictures of such a memorable moment.

At least, in the future, Xia Jin has some thoughts.

"Yes, yes. Gu Cai and Si Xiao drove the atmosphere.

In the end, Xia Hai and Xia Jin got up awkwardly and stood at the dinner table.

Gu Cai hugged Xiaoxiu and appeared aside.

deliberately asked Xia Jin and Xia Hai to stand together.

"Uncle, you also put your arms around Xia Jin's shoulders. Yes, get closer. ”

Si Xiao is funny, this father and daughter who are awkward and concerned about each other.

Xia Hai secretly swallowed his saliva and glanced at Xia Jin next to him.

stretched out his hand crampedly, wanting to put it on Xia Jin's shoulder.

"Yes, uncle, put your arms around Xia Jin. Laugh. ”

In this way, an awkward but extremely precious photo was recorded by Si Xiao's mobile phone.

After the photo was taken, I showed them all the photos.

and sent the photo to Xia Jin.

It's a pity that Xia's father still uses the elderly machine, Xia's mother's mobile phone screen is broken, and there is no network at home.

Both were embarrassed to take their phones out.

In the end, Si Xiao decided to go to the town for a while, find a photo studio, and print out the photos inside.

The meal, in Gu Cai's warm greeting, was finished.

Xia Jin ate something that was not delicious.

After eating, Xia Jin stood at the door and looked around.

There was a small river in front of the house, and a few quacking ducks swam through it.

On the other side of the river, there is farmland.

It was planted in the farmland, and Xia Jin didn't know it.

"The air here is good, the small bridges and flowing water, the comfortable slow life, the slow pace, it's really good. ”

Si Xiao stood beside Xia Jin.

Xia Jin was thinking about something else.

When I go back, I will be hospitalized, and I don't know if I will be able to see my father again in this life.

Thinking like this, she pulled Si Xiao and walked to the car.

"Take me on a trip to town. "At least something has to be done.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Si, where are you going?"

Xia Jin and Si Xiao walked towards the entrance of the village, Xia Hai sighed in his heart, and took two steps forward, but he never shouted out, nor did he stay.

It was Gu Cai who stepped forward.

"Go out for a walk and come back right away. ”

Xia Jin didn't look back, but her voice made Xia Hai's heart fall back into her stomach.

Gu Cai on the side looked at her husband with a smile, this is useless and desperate to save face.

Xia Hai saw his wife's playful eyes, snorted, and turned his head sideways.

I remembered that my daughter especially liked to eat salted duck eggs pickled in the countryside.

Thinking so, he hurried into the house.
