075 The Past Is Hard to Go Back (1)
Guan Xiaoqun fell asleep, Qin Xuyang carefully closed the door, and entered the elevator with two nurses, he walked out of the inpatient building, and slowly walked on the thick boulevard at the inpatient building, the winter sun sprinkled through the gaps in the leaves.
Shu Yun sent him a message again, which made him feel very heavy in his heart, and his thoughts couldn't help but go back to more than twenty years ago.
It was autumn.
The sound of cicadas was irritating, and the yard was hot under the scorching sun, so he asked for leave and hurried home from the county seat.
There are two jujube trees planted in the yard, which are no different from the yards of other families in the village, except for four more laurel trees, which are all taken care of by his elderly father, but now that his father is seriously ill, these laurel trees also look like people have lost their spirits, he hurried through the laurel bushes, and stretched out his hand to push open his father's humble room.
"Dad, what do you think?" he sat on the edge of his father's bed, carefully smothering his father's expression, with an unconcealed sorrow between his eyebrows.
Although the hospital also said that this disease was to survive, he was raised by his father and mother since he was a child, and he still wanted to do his best to take his father to the big city to see a doctor.
He worked as a teacher in a high school, the salary was not much, borrowed some from colleagues and friends, and finally made up a sum of money, he had already told his father about this, although his father disagreed, but he could not resist his decision, he temporarily asked for two months of vacation, and also went to the train station to buy a train ticket, and he asked Tao Ying, a classmate who works in City B, to find a hospital for him, which is all in order, just to leave the day after tomorrow.
"Xuyang, Dad's illness is a drag, why do you have to spend that money, you still have to marry Shu Yun, what should you do if you owe debts?"
He smiled and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? You have worked hard to bring me up, how can I ignore you? Even if you have only one hope for this disease, I, as a son, naturally want to give it a try, do you want to make me a conscienceless person who ignores my father for the sake of getting married?"
My father finally agreed, and he took the train with his luggage and his father to City B.
He still remembers the day he walked into the train station and looked back, looking for a familiar figure in the surging crowd, but did not find it.
Qin Xuyang sat down on a bench by the lake, he put his hands in front of him, looking at the calm water of the lake, he felt a mixture of helplessness and guilt and some other complicated feelings that could not be said.
The cold wind blew down a fallen leaf, which happened to fall on his clothes, and he reached out to pick up the fallen leaf, and slowly turned it between his fingers, and turned around, and the long river of time seemed to turn back to that year.
Seeing that his father was asleep, Qin Xuyang walked out and stood under the eaves with a heavy heart, the sun in the yard hit the ground, and the green laurel trees reflected dazzling light.
He didn't dare to tell his father, he and Shu Yun fell out a few days ago, Shu Yun is a strong and competitive person, she disagrees with his decision, his father's illness is not curable, he also knows, but knowing is one thing, if he wants to watch his father lying on the bed and doing nothing, he really can't pass this hurdle.
He and Shu Yun originally planned to get married after the year, but for his father's treatment, his money has been spent, and now he wants to take his father to the big city to seek medical treatment, and he doesn't know what will happen to the treatment later, Shu Yun and he quarreled a few times about this, and he didn't know what would happen if he took his father to the big city, the debt was owed, but this was still the beginning, he was a little pessimistic, and he felt that he probably couldn't go on with Shu Yun, so he simply broke up with her.
Qin Xuyang took his father to City B to see a doctor, and his father stayed in the hospital, but the treatment was expensive, and he had to go out to do some odd jobs, so he couldn't take care of his father carefully.
So he had to call Tao Ying again and ask her to help find a tutoring job, so that he could have time to take care of his father during the day.
Thanks to her help, she introduced him to tutor a neighbor for her, and she only had to go to tutor twice a week, which not only saved him from the hard work of running around, but also earned more than he could earn from odd jobs.
There are two girls in this family, the eldest girl is called Guan Xiaoqun, who has just graduated, works in the Cultural Bureau, and is very generous and beautiful, Qin Xuyang was a little surprised when he first saw her, but he lowered his eyes at a glance, he tutored her sister, a little girl who was only sixteen years old, not very willing to study, and had a whimsical idea.
It was raining outside, Qin Xuyang hid under the eaves of a clinic, looking at the dark night, the raindrops hit the road like hail, he had a headache, the time for tutoring was almost up, but the rain was too heavy, he looked left and right, which store he wanted to go to buy an umbrella or borrow an umbrella.
Just then, he heard someone calling him.
"Qin Xuyang. It was Guan Xiaoqun, who was walking towards him with an umbrella and a floral dress, looking at him with a smile on her face, and it was bright in the dark night.
Qin Xuyang looked at her, a little surprised, although he had been teaching tutoring in the Guan family for two months, he had never said a few words to Guan Xiaoqun, he had always been concerned about his father's condition, and he usually left immediately after the tutoring, plus the Guan family was rich and powerful, he was just a down-and-out person who took his father all the way to seek medical treatment, where did he dare to see Guan Xiaoqun, a rich lady, so even if they met at the Guan family, they just nodded a little to be polite.
At this time, watching Guan Xiaoqun gradually walk up the stairs, he was still a little restrained: "Miss Guan, why did you get off work so late?"
Guan Xiaoqun smiled: "What is your name, Miss Guan, I never like such an awkward name, others call me 'Xiaoqun', and you can call me the same as them." I went to do something, so I came back late, and I happened to see you hiding from the rain here, so I called you. ”
Qin Xuyang smiled and nodded, he didn't know what to say to her for a while, and when he met her gaze, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong and had to move away slightly.
In fact, he is handsome and elegant, and this slightly evasive appearance makes people feel the difference between him and other men in temperament. Guan Xiaoqun looked at him for a long time and smiled slightly.
She did things heartily and spoke heartily, seeing that it was raining heavily, and her umbrella could only support one person, and there happened to be a small shop across the road, so she said: "My umbrella can't cover two people, I'll go to the opposite side to buy you an umbrella, you wait." She turned and thought about going down.
Qin Xuyang subconsciously grabbed her, and then felt a little offended, so he let go a little nervously, and said, "It's better for me to go, it's inconvenient for you to wear these shoes, just give me the umbrella." ”
Guan Xiaoqun was a little stunned, looking at him deeply, she laughed, and happily handed him the small umbrella in her hand: "Then you be careful, I'll wait for you here." The soft light in her eyes and the smile on her face made her already beautiful face even more radiant.
Qin Xuyang's heart seemed to stop at this moment, and he took the umbrella from her hand in a daze. Since breaking up with Shu Yun, he has also felt pain, but that is already a helpless thing, as he is busy taking care of his father, he has gradually rarely thought about her, and as for falling in love with other people, he has never thought about it.
However, looking at her at this moment, he felt the warmth of being in this city, and he felt that his heart was like a circle of ripples blown by the wind, and suddenly there was a slight fluctuation.
My father lasted for more than half a year, and finally went, Qin Xuyang wanted to take his father's ashes back to his hometown for burial, and Guan Xiaoqun also asked for leave to go back with him.
Sitting on the train, he didn't speak for a long time, and Guan Xiaoqun was also very considerate of him, and accompanied him just to look at the regressing scenery outside the train.
When Qin Xuyang took his father to City B by train, he thought about going back, maybe he would bring his father back soon, but after all, manpower was no match for Tianli, and his father went, so he could only take his ashes on the train on this return journey.
As Guan Xiaoqun rested his head on his shoulder, he remembered something and felt that he should tell her.
After Guan Xiaoqun heard this, she was not surprised, she smiled very open-mindedly: "What does it matter, how can I mind? You are honest and kind, and good-looking, if there is no woman who likes it, I will feel surprised." She pointed to the trees that flickered outside the car, "The most important thing is that I am by your side now, you are not alone, in the future, you will still have me." ”
Her words surprised and touched him, she was so good, he stretched out his arms around her, he knew that he must be with her in this life.
The teacher's job naturally can't be saved, and he doesn't have to be protected, he will take the train back with Guan Xiaoqun after burying his father, but before going back, he still went back to the school, returned all the borrowed money, and went to the principal's office, and when he came out of the school, he saw Shu Yun.
Shu Yun lost a lot of weight, which surprised him, but he immediately understood that he felt ashamed, but if he did it again, he would still decide to take his father to City B for treatment.
She walked up to him, looked at him for a long time and didn't speak, but her eyes were already red.
Qin Xuyang was a little unbearable, so he could only open his mouth and ask her: "I haven't seen her for a long time." ”
Shu Yun looked into his eyes, and she smiled reluctantly, "I heard that you are back, so I came to see you." ”
"Hmm. Qin Xuyang lowered his gaze.
The two stood for a moment.
"I regret it, I made the wrong decision," Shu Yun looked at him, this was the only person she loved, she missed him very much, in fact, she regretted it a long time ago, but she couldn't let go of her way to find him, but at this time he came back, she couldn't help but come to tell him: "Xuyang, I apologize to you, when you were the most difficult and needed me to accompany you, I separated from you, but I kept thinking about you in my heart, I ......"
Qin Xuyang looked at her, "Shu Yun, needless to say, I know everything." Thank you, but let the past pass, I'm fine now. ”
Shu Yun's eyes were filled with tears, and she reached out to take his hand: "No, I want to tell you, I love you, I will never be separated from you again, Xuyang, can you forgive me? Her eyes were getting more and more tearful, but she still looked at him persistently.
Opposite the school, Guan Xiaoqun was sitting in the snack bar, she was sitting by the window and looking at Qin Xuyang, looking at this scene, her body moved, but finally decided to sit back again.
Qin Xuyang glanced in the direction where she was sitting, and then he looked at Shu Yun, he had loved her once, loved her deeply, he had also looked forward to and talked about marriage with her, he was familiar with her temperament, he knew how much courage it took for her to be willing to turn back to him with such a strong temperament, and he also knew her pain at the moment, but he could no longer be with her.
"Shu Yun, I've already decided to get out of here......" He lowered his tone to the softest, looking at her, he wished she had forgotten about him sooner.
Before he could finish speaking, Shu Yun hurriedly said, "I'll leave with you, I'm willing to leave with you." She had a smile in her expectant eyes.
She wouldn't be separated from him again, not even for a second.
"But I can't be with you," Qin Xuyang didn't want to tell her, but he couldn't help but say, he looked at her deeply: "I want to go back to City B." ”
Shu Yun was stunned for a moment, her heart sank, but she still wanted to ask: "What does it mean to go back to City B?"
Qin Xuyang had difficulty speaking.
"Someone is waiting for you?" A woman's intuition is the most terrifying, with just one look, she can read the heart of the person she loves.
Qin Xuyang is still unable to export.
Shu Yun understood. Her eyes looked at him, at him deeply, at him with sarcasm, at him with deep pain and hatred. She couldn't believe it, she had been waiting for him here for more than half a year, how many days and nights she had wandered in pain, she thought he was the same as her, but it turned out that he had already married a new love in another city.
"Qin Xuyang, you bastard!" she slapped him.
But he didn't show any anger.
Guan Xiaoqun stood up all of a sudden, she hurriedly walked out of the store, and standing outside the store, she looked at Qin Xuyang.
Qin Xuyang didn't feel angry when he received this slap from her, if it could make her feel more comfortable, he would rather suffer it, even more.
"Forget about me. He said to Shu Yun.
Guan Xiaoqun could only watch him like this, she knew him, she knew him, and although she was distressed, she still didn't go over to intervene.
The next day, Qin Xuyang and Guan Xiaoqun took the train back to City B together, and then they got married, and their lives were very ordinary and happy.
Shu Yun came to City B three months after they got married, she and Tao Ying are neighbors, Shu Yun lived in Tao Ying's house for a period of time when she was a child, and the relationship between the two is also quite good, and it is also because of Tao Ying that she met Qin Xuyang, so she came to a strange big city far away from home, Shu Yun is both natural and inevitable to find Tao Ying.
Tao Ying actually hasn't seen Shu Yun for many years, she is five years older than Shu Yun, and she stayed in City B as soon as she graduated, she didn't know about Qin Xuyang and Shu Yun's affairs before, but she didn't know about it later, she arranged for Shu Yun to be a clerk under her husband's company, and she had to take care of her two sons at that time, and Shu Yun came over from time to time to take care of the children for her, and she didn't think much about it.
At that time, the Su family and the Guan family were neighbors.
Qin Xuyang was already troubled by Shu Yun's appearance at the door of the house from time to time, he discussed with Guan Xiaoqun, and the two moved out of the Guan family and bought another house to live in, hoping to avoid meeting Shu Yun.
