Chapter 264: No Regrets
In the gazebo in the garden, the two sat and tasted tea, Yin Xiaoli's tea making skills are very different from those of white chime bamboo, but the taste is also very good.
"When I was a child, my grandfather liked to drink tea the most, so I made him tea and listened to him tell stories since I was a child. More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I have drifted to the present, and finally come back, but I didn't expect to meet you. Yin Xiaoli took a sip of the teacup and smiled slightly.
"What about your parents, haven't you ever seen them?" Qin Jue asked in a low voice.
"Yes, when I was six years old, my mother and father separated, and then my father handed me over to my grandfather to raise, and I never saw him again.
I remember that my father was always in poor health, his face was always very pale and sick, but he was also a langzhong, very popular in our village, but he was not a witch doctor, his medical skills were very good, so the people in the village liked to come to him for a doctor. And my father never charged money for medical treatment, so the blind dates in the village took good care of me and my grandfather for so many years.
My grandfather said that witch doctors have their own inheritance, and my father is so weak that he can't inherit the skills of witch doctors, and he only studied Chinese medicine to cure his own diseases.
After the Wenchuan earthquake, my grandfather disappeared, and even the body was not found, at that time I was already in high school, I could already take care of myself, plus the villagers took good care of me, and at that time, the relief money had also come down, and I also received great care, so I lived like this until I graduated from college. Yin Xiaoli whispered, his expression feeling a little sad.
"In that case, you can't be sure that your father and grandfather have died, right?" Qin Jue asked in a low voice, his face a little curious.
"Yes, I made a special inquiry before, and until now my father and grandfather are still missing, but I am afraid that the hope that they are still alive is very small.
After the earthquake, the home was rebuilt, and our family was still in the same place, but the villagers said that my grandfather and father never came back. ”
Qin Jue nodded, according to Yin Xiaoli's statement, her father and grandfather must have long since died.
"What about your mother, hasn't she been looking for you all along?" Qin Jue continued to ask.
"Actually, my mother has always been in Shenhai, after the earthquake, she found me, to pick me up to live with, but I refused, originally I have always had some resentment towards her in my heart, but now I have also let go, my father once told me, he does not blame my mother, he has always been bad, in fact, my mother is also a poor person, life may be like this, no one can be destined to be by anyone's side for a lifetime, if they let them leave even if they have no resentment, break up peacefully, maybe it will be good. Yin Xiaoli whispered, a helpless smile on his face.
Some people call pain growth, but when they see through everything, they find that it may be just a trivial thing.
"Maybe you're right, but I never wanted to leave like this, or to bind you forever, and I'd love to be by your side forever if I could. Qin Jue smiled lightly and took a sip of tea.
"After all these years, don't you want to see your mother? Qin Jue asked softly, sighed slightly, and continued: "I used to think that I was just an orphan, but I didn't expect that I would be able to see them again in my lifetime.
My father is the patriarch of the Zhuge family, he has killed a lot of people in order to fight for power and profit, his own selfish desires, even my mother has been lying there and sleeping, I don't know if I can save her, but I really hope that one day she can wake up and look at me again, at least then she will be very happy.
It was I who cut off one of my father's hands and one leg with my own hands, making him die of guilt, and I actually felt a little unbearable in my heart. As a child, there is no choice, but I don't want to leave some regrets for them or for ourselves. Qin Jue whispered, reaching out and grabbing her palm.
"I'll take you out for a walk, okay? It's stuffy here. ”
Yin Xiaoli nodded slightly, stood up, gently stroked his long skirt, tidied up Qin Jue's clothes, took his arm, and the two walked out.
In the southeast of Shenhai, in a flower shop in a university town, the two stopped, and at this time, there was a middle-aged woman sorting out the bouquets in the store, and there was a fifteen or sixteen teenager next to him, helping on the side.
The young man's face was still covered with gauze, covering his entire right eye, and the woman was busy, and her mouth was still counting.
"Xiaojie, you are so old, why don't you let your mother worry at all, send it to school to let you study hard, you are good, you don't see growth in reading, there are more and more fights, how can you get it like this? You said that if you have three long and two short that day, what should you do if you call me and your father?"
"Mom, don't worry, when did my son and I suffer, don't look at my eye circles are broken, but the guy who provoked me has a broken head, and he is still in the hospital. The boy said with a smile, his face looking a little proud.
"You little rabbit cub is embarrassed to say, if it weren't for your father who apologized to people for a long time, could you not arrest your boy, I said, can you have a longer memory? Why do you always love to fight?" The woman glared at the boy fiercely, her face full of helplessness.
"Mom, it's not that I like to fight, you know me, I can't get used to those people bullying and bullying classmates, that guy relies on a little money in his family, always showing off in front of his classmates, originally I didn't want to meet him in general, who knew that this time he actually bullied the head of Uncle Li's sister Li Lan, I couldn't get angry and went up to him to theorize, didn't this just do it?" the teenager explained.
"Hmph, if Li Lan hadn't stood up to speak to you, I'm afraid your teacher would have fired you, if there is anything you can't talk about properly, it's really okay to report to the teacher......? ”
The boy stood up with a smile and hurried to meet him.
"Big brother, big sister, are you buying flowers or watching bonsai?"
"Just take a look!" Qin Jue smiled, took the girl's hand and walked inside.
"This sister is very beautiful, big brother, you really have a vision. Would you like to buy a bouquet of roses for your sister?" the boy continued, gesturing to a freshly pruned bouquet beside him.
"This flower was just sent from the garden this morning, and it is very fresh, so I can buy it and put it there for a week. ”
Qin Jue glanced at Yin Xiaoli and smiled slightly: "Little guy, your mouth is so sweet, then I want roses, do you see my car?" Help me fill the back seat and trunk all the way, I want as many as I want." ”
"Big brother, are you serious, we don't have so many roses here?" the young man said with a slightly startled face.
"In this case, then you can choose a few bonsai for me and put them in the trunk, and then wrap all your existing roses and put them in my back seat, right?" Qin Jue said with a smile.
Yin Xiaoli on the side glanced at him, and didn't speak, just smiled slightly.
"Big brother, you really take care of our business. The bonsai is inside, shall I show you?" the young man was so excited that he hurriedly shouted, "Mom, hurry up and wrap the roses." ”
Qin Jue looked at Yin Xiaoli and asked softly, "What kind of plants do you like?"
Yin Xiaoli stuck out his tongue and said in a low voice: "I don't know, I haven't bought a bonsai yet?"
Qin Jue nodded and smiled casually.
"Then don't look at it, just move your most expensive one to me, remember, stuffed!"
The young man smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely fill it for you." ”
After a while, the woman hurried over and smiled at Qin Jue and the others: "You want roses, right? I'll wrap it for you, I don't know how many bunches you want?"
"Pick the best ones, just pack a bunch, just ninety-nine! Qin Jue said with a smile.
"What are you buying so many flowers for, boss?" the woman asked curiously.
"Oh, this bouquet is for my wife, our company is holding a celebration today, and the rest is used to decorate the venue. Qin Jue said with a smile, but it caused Yin Xiaoli to roll his eyes.
"Who is your wife, and I haven't married you yet?"
Qin Jue smiled awkwardly and said cheekily, "Isn't this a matter of time or time." ”
Yin Xiaoli's face turned red, and he didn't speak, and pinched Qin Jue fiercely.
"Sit and wait a while, and I'll get it for you soon." The woman said hurriedly.
"It's okay, don't worry, we're not in a hurry. Qin Jue smiled, and began to walk around with Yin Xiaoli again. However, Yin Xiaoli's attention has always been on the woman, but he is not very interested in the flowers and plants around her.
After a while, a middle-aged man hurried back, and when the woman saw him, she hurriedly shouted, "Old man, come and help me." ”
The man hurriedly ran over and smiled at the woman: "There have been too many people in the bank for a few years, and I waited in line for two hours to get me." I just gave Xiao Li the money to beat me here, and I rushed back. ”
"By the way, did you ask the bank, is there any money in the card?" the woman asked hurriedly.
"Well, I asked, and they said that the card had never been used, and now there are almost a million in it. I said, wife, if we don't need the money, why don't we take it out first, and find a shop first, I heard that this piece is about to be demolished?" the man whispered.
"It seems that Xiaoli hasn't forgiven me yet. The woman let out a long sigh, her face visibly ugly.
"I'll tell you the money in this card, no one is allowed to move, this is Xiaoli, in case she encounters something outside, she can still respond to emergencies, for so many years I have asked you to put five thousand yuan into the card every month, and it has never been interrupted, I don't allow you to pay attention to this card. ”
"But, we have to find a new store after all, the one we went to see last time, more than 300 square meters, the rent is only more than 600,000 a year, the contract can be signed for ten years, counting the decoration, we will take out more than 1 million at once, we only have more than 500,000 in our hands now, and even the rent is not enough?" The man's face was slightly gloomy, and he couldn't stop sighing.
"That's not good, it's a big deal that we can find a smaller shop, anyway, no one is allowed to touch Xiaoli's money. The woman said coldly, resolute.
"Okay, I'm not moving, I'm so old, why is my temper still so big!" the man complained, and then bowed his head to help the woman wrap the flowers.
