Chapter 51: Sorrow
Ge Jingxian's body shook, but she didn't open her schoolbag to answer the phone. Just let the loud ringtone of the mobile phone get louder and louder in this confined space in the silence of the night.
Several security guards were silent, just looking at her. Zou Qi also put away his cynical smile for the first time, and looked at the girl sitting next to him with a calm face.
The girl kept her head down, silent, and didn't make any movements. But her body was visibly trembling, as if she was carrying the weight of her life.
The phone eventually stopped in silence from everyone.
However, Ge Jingxian's body was still tense, and she seemed to have expected it in her heart. And just as she expected, the phone rang again, even longer than the previous one, and there was no sign of stopping.
Her face was as dead as ashes. The face that had been drooping slowly lifted up, and all kinds of emotions flashed in its eyes, pain, despair, disillusionment, and finally numbness.
Time is like a slow-moving camera, slowly switching from Ge Jingxian's shallow eyebrows to her tightly tied hair, to her fair neck, and she is still on the noisy schoolbag. I saw her stand up, unload her bag, and put it upright on the stool where she had just been sitting, which was cold and now hot. She unzipped the longest zipper of her bag and pulled out a phone from somewhere inside. The mobile phone is crystal clear, and it is the latest model nowadays, which many people can not expect.
Ge Jingxian pressed the answer button, and the voice inside poured out unstoppably like a flood~ out. Zou Qi didn't go, he didn't go, he was next to his phone, and all the words were right.
As soon as Qin Shuqin saw that the mobile phone was connected, all his worries and anger turned into anger: "Ge Jingxian, you have the courage to fatten up, right? Learn to stay outside and not go home, right? How much did you take today's exam? Do you still have a face? I only talked about those topics the night before yesterday? You just gave me the test like this? Are you so useless or not? You might as well die outside and don't come back for me!"
Zou Qi couldn't help but look back at the girl named Ge Jingxian, only to see her standing there with her mobile phone, unhappy or angry, as if she was answering a normal call.
He suddenly remembered that when he had just started talking to a few security guards and begging them to let him go first, the girl seemed to look up at him when it came to tomorrow's exam. It's just that at that time, he was full of eyes on the train that was about to leave, and the train ticket money that was about to be lost, so he didn't care much, but now that he thinks about it, he can't tell what he feels in his heart. It seems that there is a scripture that is difficult to read in every family!
The security guards were a little farther away, and although they couldn't hear what was said on the phone, they could also feel the tension of the atmosphere.
Wu Baoan was the first to persuade: "Child, quickly apologize to your parents, tell me the address here, and ask them to come and pick you up quickly." It's so late, they must be worried about the break. With that, he walked out and smoked a cigarette and chatted with his colleagues outside.
An older security guard sighed: "Hey, today's children are really getting more and more squeamish, and they can't stand the slightest beating and scolding, either they run away from home, or commit suicide......!"
Ge Jingxian listened to the training in silence, and didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, Ge Jingxian paused before answering "um". Then Zou Qi heard her report the address of the train station: "Police Office at the exit of the North High-speed Railway Station." ”
This was the first time he had heard her voice, and her voice was very soft, a bit similar to her temperament, but Zou Qi intuitively felt that her personality was by no means like this.
Zou Qi didn't expect to see Ge Jingxian again so soon.
Probably the last incident really had too much impact on her, Qin Shuqin no longer blindly focused on her daughter's study, began to pay attention to her daughter's feelings, and slowly cultivated the relationship between mother and daughter. On this day, she took advantage of her rest day to take Ge Jingxian to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
Qin Shuqin said that she was bringing her daughter to buy vegetables, and in the end she made a one-size-fits-all decision. After all, years of habits are not so easy to change. Ge Jingxian doesn't care. She was originally dragged by her mother, saying that it was not good for her to be stuffy in the room all day, and that she should let the wind out at the right time.
Qin Shuqin picked and picked in front of several meat stalls, and Ge Jingxian walked around, but she didn't expect to meet the girl who saved her last time, Zou Qi. She already knew his name. He's actually selling vegetables. Isn't he a college student? Isn't he studying? Why did he come back?
Ge Jingxian looked at him with great incomprehension, as if he was doing something incredible.
Zou Qi also discovered Ge Jingxian. He raised his eyebrows, pointed to the jagged white radish, rape, and eggplant in front of him and shouted at Ge Jingxian: "Little sister, do you want to buy vegetables?
Ge Jingxian thought for a moment and nodded vigorously. Zou Qi was stunned, he was just teasing her.
When Qin Shuqin bought the meat and turned back, he was startled. She saw Ge Jingxian standing next to her with a smile on her face, and under her feet were a big plastic bag of white radish, rape, and eggplant. She saw her daughter's eyes sparkle and said to her, "Mom, shall we eat these dishes at noon?"
……
Zou Qi watched in amazement as Ge Jingxian walked farther and farther away until she was gone. He looked at the vegetables in front of him that had been sold out, touched the corner of his forehead, smiled, lowered his head and counted the money carefully.
An old man with a pockmarked face next to him said sourly: "Oh, you have to rely on your face to do everything these days, I've been sitting here for a morning, and I've only been selling a few vegetables? This young man next to me has only been here for a few minutes, and suddenly it's sold out! Oh, next time I come to sell vegetables, I have to dress up in advance!"
A few old ladies who knew him well joked with him: "Just like you, you can't cover the scars on your face with a pound of powder!"
"If you want me to say, next time you can call your grandson, I'm afraid you won't be reluctant!"
"Hey, my grandson wants to study, so how can he have time to sell vegetables? Selling vegetables is the work of unproductive people!" the old man immediately retorted. But his words hit a shot, and everyone was dissatisfied with theorizing with him!
……
Zou Qi didn't have time to pay attention to these chaos. He counted the money several times and felt strange, why was it 248 yuan more, and it happened to be the ticket price of the train ticket to school? He thought about it, and remembered the figure of Ge Jingxian walking away in a hurry, just now he thought she was embarrassed, but now she understands.
Zou Qi was born in a special family! Both parents are deaf and mute. He and a younger sister are the two children at home. Despite the government's assistance, the family's financial situation is not well-off. In order to save money, my sister went to high school in a town near her grandmother's house in the countryside, and usually ate and lived there. Zou Qi studied at home and provided for the family. In the past two years, he went to college, and his father's health deteriorated, and he often went home to accompany him.
This time, before Zou Qi returned to school, he went to the private school where Ge Jingxian studied. He deliberately picked a time to get out of school and waited for her at the school gate, not afraid that he would miss her.
Sure enough, not long after putting it away, Ge Jingxian walked out of the school gate alone with her schoolbag on her back. She walked so seriously, Zou Qi followed her all the way and she didn't notice it, until finally Zou Qi was defeated by her and called her name behind her, Ge Jingxian found him.
Zou Qi is here to pay her back.
As soon as Ge Jingxian saw him handing her the money, she hurriedly waved her hand. She explained that the last time she delayed his train, the money was to compensate him for the ticket, and she asked him to accept it anyway.
Zou Qi told her that the money was later returned to him by the staff at the station, and it was a lot.
Ge Jingxian said again, then it will be regarded as compensation for his losses. He didn't make it to the exam and had to retake it. It is good to pay for mental damage.
Zou Qi laughed, but told her that he had caught up with the exam. Because their teacher said the exam time wrong, it was November 16th, not November 6th.
Ge Jingxian's eyes widened in disbelief. She smiled at the end. Her smile is clean, like the calm blue sea.
But Ge Jingxian didn't want to get back the money she sent out anyway. He saved her life, but he didn't take the money her parents thanked him for. And in order to send this money, she ate several meals of his radish, rape and eggplant, and now she wants to vomit when she sees these dishes.
Later, she came up with an idea and invited him to dinner, saying that she was grateful for saving his life. Zou Qi couldn't help but laugh.
Zou Qi and Ge Jingxian are really fateful. Because Zou Qi almost meets her every time he goes home. Gradually, they became warmer. Since Zou Qi knew that Ge Jingxian would still be troubled by studying, he would teach her some when he had time. It wasn't until later that the two became more and more familiar with each other, leaving their respective QQ and phone numbers.
In addition to studying, the two will also talk about some other things. For example, Ge Jingxian learned that Zou Qi's parents were not born disabled, but were caused by acquired human factors. For example, Zou Qi has plans to start a business after graduation. And Ge Jingxian also told Zou Qi about her troubles, such as that she was already a freshman in high school, her mother's excessive control of herself, and her eagerness to leave the cage of home. After the two have known each other for more than a year, Ge Jingxian gradually developed a feeling of liking and dependence on Zou Qi, and Zou Qi could clearly see the friendship and trust in the eyes of young girls. And he felt the same way. But he had to hesitate. After all, Ge Jingxian is still so young, and he has other factors to consider.
Zou Qishi will never forget the strange look in her mother's eyes when she first met Ge Jingxian's parents in the station security room, and when Liu Baoan introduced him to her parents as the one who saved her daughter's life, as if he had stayed so late to ask them for something in return. So when she gave him money, he didn't accept it. That's unbearable for any decent boy.
Later, Ge Jingxian's mother probably found out the clue. Zou Qi didn't know how she knew that her daughter was in contact with him, but she found him anyway. She coerced and enticed him to stay away from her daughter, she could give him money, and her family's poor financial situation could be greatly changed. She told him that their family would never be able to accept a boy from a family like him with Ge Jingxian, that she would not agree, that her father would not agree, that all her relatives would not agree. And if he is obsessed and comes to Ge Jingxian, she will sue him for abducting minors and arresting him in prison, which will make him regret it for the rest of his life.
Zou Qi hates this kind of threat very much, but he also knows that the two have a huge disparity in family background, and it is indeed unlikely that they will be together. Not to mention anything else, Ge Jingxian is a daughter who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers, and their family has to be able to do any job.
He made a secret decision then.
Not long after, one day he seemed to tell her that he had talked to a girlfriend, and sent her a picture to show her, and asked her to judge whether she looked good or not! He thought that she must be sad, and it took a long time for her on the other side of the computer to reply, it was very good-looking. After a long time she asked him, didn't he say he would wait for her? He said, I'm sorry.
The two have not been in touch since.
A year after Zou Qi graduated from university, shortly after Ge Jingxian's college entrance examination, he couldn't help but go to see her near her home. On their separate balcony at the time, her mother seemed to be talking to her, and she shook her head vigorously. Later, her mother seemed to get angry and said something, and she was so helpless that she finally went back to her room. He just wanted to look at her from afar and leave, but now that he saw it, he had nothing else to worry about. It's just that when he left, he was discovered by her mother.
Zou Qi went home that time to tell his father, who had become seriously ill, that he had finally found a friend who shared his interests and could provide him with funds to support his business. They will leave the city. His father was very happy and told him not to worry about him.
Both of them were very happy that day, and even had a few drinks. That night, he went to the supermarket to prepare some rice and oil for his father, and when he came back, he found that kind of scene.
The father fell to the ground, his face full of anger, his eyes wide open, and he had lost his breath.
Later, doctors found out that the cause of my father's death was sudden cardiac death.
He couldn't accept the fact that his father died suddenly just as they were about to get better, and he couldn't figure out where his anger at his death came from. It wasn't until he was told by a neighbor at the funeral that a well-dressed woman came to his house on the night of his father's accident.
He searched carefully and finally found a photo of him and Ge Jingxian playing bumper cars together in a corner of the room!
