Chapter 29: The Warmth of Chinese New Year's Eve
Nan Qiao deceived Gu Shunshun, in fact, Han Zhi didn't call, the reason why she said this was because she had just listened to the content of Gu Shunshun and his mother's phone call.
She is only eighteen years old, and she can't understand complex emotional routines, Nan Qiao would rather Gu Shunshun be false to her.
Jing County, Trillium Lane.
Han Zhi and Pheasant sit on the river dam where they used to play when they were children.
"Cheers, brother. ”
The chicken is holding a bottle of snow jin and touching the bottle with Han Zhen.
"Brother Zhen, how are you and Sister Buckwheat, did you go to Beicheng later?"
Fence Chicken has been Han Zhi and Nanqiao's follower since he was a child, so he knows them best.
Han Zhi raised the corners of his mouth, "Fence chicken, what kind of togetherness are you asking? body or mind?"
"Uh~"
The chicken choked, how did he answer, and without waiting for him to speak, Han Zhi himself spoke first.
"I got her pregnant. ”
"Damn, brother, is it really fake?"
"Yes, really, but the child should be gone. ”
Han Zhi lowered his head and took the beer on the side, and gulped the whole bottle.
"Then why didn't she come back with you? Did she go to her father's big villa? Are you together?"
The chicken swallowed its saliva, and the chick's mouth crackled and asked all kinds of questions.
Han Zhi held his forehead and shook his head, "Not together." ”
"Then how did you?"
"Physiological needs. ”
If it weren't for playing with Han Zhi since he was a child, he swore that he would have kicked him into the moat by now.
"Brother Zhen, you're too scumbag, that's Nanqiao, it's not the group from Fangfang Beauty Shop who came out to sell it, how can you bear to hurt her. ”
The key is to get Nanqiao pregnant, which is something that can only be done with a ruthless heart.
Faced with the questioning of the fence chicken, Han Zhi was silent, he didn't know where his scum was, he didn't coerce Nanqiao, her feelings were voluntarily wasted by herself, and her body was also given by her willingly, what is he scum?
"Brother Zhen, can't you treat Sister Buckwheat like this, have you forgotten that when you first entered the alley, you were bullied by a black dog, and in order to help you, she fought with a group of hooligans, her head was bleeding, and she had thirteen stitches?"
Ji Ji couldn't help but mention the events of that year, which he will never forget, and every day and night after that, he wondered how much courage Nan Qiao had mustered up at that time, or in other words, how much she liked Han Zhi.
"Yes. ”
Of course Han Zhi remembers......
That year, Han Zhi was seven years old, and he moved into Trillium Lane with his uncle's family for the second month.
One day, Han Zhi was preparing to go to school, and on a path to school, he was blocked by a "black dog" who called himself a street bully.
"Stop, Xiao Qisan, where are you from? Do you know your father's name?"
Han Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at the black dog with disdain, ready to go around and bother to pay attention to this "dog".
"Hey, such a dick?"
Black Dog dropped out of junior high school.,It's been a dick in Trillium Alley.,On weekdays, he relies on collecting some pocket money from children younger than him as Internet fees.,Recently, I heard that a car repair shop was moved.,I thought there must be money.,So I found it.。
"Get out of the way. ”
"Fuck, how do you talk to your dad? Don't fucking fool you, hand over the money if you know each other. ”
Where did Han Zhi get his pocket money, his uncle was a coerc, except for providing him with three meals a day, he didn't give him anything, where did he get the chicken money.
"I don't have any money. ”
"Fart, your uncle repairs the car, so many BMWs and Mercedes Benz come every day, why don't you have any money, search for Lao Tzu. ”
The black dog gave an order, and the little bastards who followed him pushed Han Zhi against the wall and said that they were going to search him.
Han Zhi is a hard-tempered person, where will he search for them.
"Let go of me. ”
"If you put it, search it for me, and if you can't find it, you will beat me to death. ”
Han Zhi broke free of his schoolbag and fought with those little bastards.
Seven-year-old Han Zhi, no matter how good he is, no matter how good he fights, he can't fight against a few people who are older than him.
Soon, he was at a disadvantage, and was pressed to the ground by the black dogs.
"Stop!"
In the midst of the chaos, a cheerful female voice broke the war.
"Stop it. ”
Han Zhi looked up and saw Nan Qiao holding a brick and walking towards him angrily.
She squatted next to Han Zhi and slowly helped him up and protected him behind her.
"Yo, isn't this Nanqiao without a father and mother, what's the matter, today I want to stage a beautiful woman to save the dog male?"
Nanqiao pursed her lips, staring at the black dog with a pair of stubborn apricot eyes.
"Black dog, don't embarrass Han Zhen, you want money to find someone else, but he doesn't. ”
", he doesn't, he doesn't have you? You have you for him. ”
Where did Nanqiao get the money, her grandmother even had to lock the small drawer for peeing, and she couldn't get the money at all.
"I don't have any money, but I won't allow you to hurt him. ”
"Then call me together. ”
Nan Qiao grabbed Han Zhi's hand tightly, and the bricks in her hand were slapped indiscriminately, not to mention, she could really block two hits, and several little bastards were slapped with blue noses and swollen faces.
Seeing this, the black dog burst into a foul mouth, and went directly into battle in person, he snatched the brick from Nan Qiao's hand and was about to slap it on Han Zhi's head, almost instantly, Nan Qiao pushed Han Zhi away, and the brick that should have been slapped on Han Zhi's head slapped on her head.
The red blood flowed down Nanqiao's eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips, and the little bastards panicked.
"Brother dog, what should I do? ”
"Bang dang. ”
The black dog threw the brick on the ground and said, "Run." ”
Han Zhi got up and helped Nanqiao up, "Are you okay?" I'll take you to the hospital. ”
In the end, Han Zhi and Ji Ji accompanied Nan Qiao to the hospital, and the money was Han Zhi who stole his uncle's money, and at that time, none of them understood that this kind of desperate work was called "liking".
*
"Brother Zhen, what are you thinking? Sister Buck must especially want you to be by her side now. ”
The chicken pushed Han Zhen, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
“………”
"Fence chicken, I went to give her hope, this is not to love her, but to harm her. ”
Han Zhi understands that the most undesirable thing about him is not to turn a blind eye to Nanqiao's liking, but to give her hope if he leaves the ground.
Some people don't love her, but they don't want her to leave, and Han Zhi is like this to Nanqiao.
"Brother Zhen, what are you talking about, how do you know that you don't like Sister Buck if you don't try it? She is so beautiful and kind, maybe you actually like her, but you don't know it." ”
"Fence chicken, I have someone I like. ”
"Is she okay with Sister Buckwheat? Are you together?"
"Nope. ”
No, but Han Zhi just likes Sheng Qiannuan, and he likes it very much.
"Brother Zhen, I sincerely advise you to accompany Sister Qiao, eleven years, even a dog should not leave her at this time. ”
Although the chicken has never been in love, he also knows that he should not leave the girl alone at such a time.
"I'll buy you a ticket and go on the first day of the new year. ”
Ji Ji was about to take out his mobile phone as he spoke, but Han Zhi stopped, "I'll do it myself." ”
"Then hurry up, help me bring some osmanthus cake from Jing County to Sister Qiao, she loves to eat it the most. ”
"Yes. ”
Under the persuasion of the chicken, Han Zhi finally decided to go and see Nanqiao.
"Dad, it turns out that you and the chicken are here. ”
Han Zhi and Chicken turned around at the same time, and the black dog stood behind them with a few skewers of barbecue in his hands.
"Dad, when did you come back?"
The black dog gave the barbecue to Han Zhi and the fence chicken, with a smile on his face, this title was obtained by the black dog of Han Zhi Haibian in the countless fights later, and it was originally barked in private, but it became a habit later, and a bark was a few years.
"The other day. ”
"Then why don't you go to me, you haven't eaten my barbecue in a long time. ”
Later, the small society was not easy to mix, and the black dog became a good citizen from good, opened a barbecue restaurant, took a little daughter-in-law, and lived a good life.
"Busy. ”
"Oh, my mom, why didn't she come back?"
The "mother" in the black dog's mouth is Nanqiao, when they were young, Nanqiao thought it was particularly interesting to call her like this, so she privately forced the black dog to call her like this.
The black dog was afraid of Han Zhen, he always thought that Nanqiao was Han Zhen's horse, so he barked so smoothly.
The chicken looked at Han Zhen, and then stuffed the skewers in his hand into the black dog's mouth, "Eat your kidney, where do you get so many JB words." ”
Han Shu threw the skewers to the fence chicken, he jumped off the dam, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, how to say it, I have to go to Nanqiao after Chinese New Year's Eve.
When he got home, he happened to meet his uncle Chen Yong smoking at the door, and Han Zhi walked over and called "uncle".
"Well, Ah Zhi is back, come, sit here, my uncle has something to say to you. ”
"Good. ”
Chen Yong pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Ah Zhen, I went to the prison to see your parents a few days ago, they are very good, they should come out in another three or five years." ”
"Oh. ”
Han Zhi didn't have too much emotion on his face, and he didn't have deep feelings for his parents, when he was six years old, they were greedy for money and engaged in economic fraud, and both went to prison for this work, and they squatted for more than ten years, so he grew up with Chen Yong.
Chen Yong spat and rubbed his foot a few times, "Ah Zhen, my uncle raised you to the age of eighteen, it's not easy, you see what a handsome guy with spirit, and he was admitted to a famous university, amazing, uncle, proud." ”
Han Zhi knows his uncle, and whenever he says a bunch of, it must be something that is not good for him later.
"Yes, I know. ”
"Ahem~"
Chen Yong coughed heavily, "Hey, you see that your uncle is almost fifty now, and he can't repair the car for a few years, your aunt knows how to play mahjong all day long, and the young man is still in high school, and you still have more than 1,000 living expenses every month, and my uncle feels that it is really difficult to hold on." ”
Therefore, the point is that Chen Yong is going to cut off food for Han Zhi.
This means that not only will he have no living expenses in the future, but his tuition fees may not be settled, and everything will depend on him.
"Ah, are you listening?"
"Well, I know, uncle, I came back this time and was about to tell you about this, I started a business with my roommate in Beicheng, and now I have a little achievement, so I don't have to worry about you in the future." ”
The so-called entrepreneurship is just an excuse, he wants to start a business, but that is just an idea, to take the most basic point, start-up capital is the big problem.
When Chen Yong heard Han Zhi say this, not to mention how happy he was.
"Okay, okay, it's different when you go to a big city, if your brother is half as sensible as you, I won't worry about it. ”
Han Zhi smiled and didn't speak.
"Bell~Bell~Bell~"
The pleasant old bell came from the commissary of Grandma Nanqiao next door, and it was twelve o'clock, and Chinese New Year's Eve was coming.
On this day, the people of the whole country celebrate, and every household is celebrating reunion, posting Spring Festival couplets, purchasing New Year's goods, and wearing beautiful new clothes to celebrate the New Year.
Nanqiao opened the curtains, and the children in the community downstairs were gathering together to set off cannons, build snowmen, and several adults were chatting with melon seeds next to them, talking and laughing.
It's good, she wants to do the same, but it's a pity that the only thing that can warm her at the moment is the cup of hot water in her hand.
Gu Shunshun left, Han Zhi didn't come, she still celebrated the New Year alone.
opened WeChat, and her sister-in-law swiped her entire circle of friends.
The pictures are all of her father's mansion and villa, as well as the picture of the family getting together.
The accompanying text reads: "Today, the family is here, happy." ”
Is it all together? If it is, what is she? It is really a family for my father and a family for my mother, and Nanqiao has become redundant.
In fact, she doesn't mind her life experience at all, others say that the child whose parents are separated is equivalent to being saved, but you see that she is not alive and well.
But after thinking about it carefully, I didn't think it was good, I gave up the turning point of my life for a boy who didn't like me, and then chased love for thousands of miles, became a joke, contributed my body, made a human life, and got nothing in the end.
It's ridiculous to think about, right?
Nan Qiao walked to the living room, she was going to use instant noodles for the New Year today, she sat on the sofa with her buttocks, picked up the remote control and prepared to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
"Today is the day of reunion, Kanto Saibei, Sichuan, Xijiangnan, no matter where you are, we will invite you to welcome the New Year with the greatest enthusiasm......"
On the TV, the host's pleasant voice came frequently, and Nan Qiao picked up the instant noodles on the table and ate them with relish.
Her sister-in-law's circle of friends can't affect her, and through this incident, Nan Qiao feels that she has grown up, and she can be called a tenth-level loneliness for the New Year.
And today Nan Qiao feels that she is particularly worthy of praise, in previous years, she always pestered Han Zhi at this time, but this year, she didn't even give him a greeting.
If she doesn't look for him, he naturally won't look for her, how good.
Thinking of Han Zhen, Nan Qiao still cried, and suddenly the instant noodles in her hand were not so fragrant.
She hid her phone, she forced herself not to think about it, not to look at it, in fact, it was good to be alone.
It's really good, but why can't she help but cry out loud.
At this moment, everyone is celebrating the reunion, and she is the only one who is eating instant noodles here as if she has been abandoned by the whole world.
"Ding Dong~"
The sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted Nanqiao's sadness, and she walked to the door and peeked out through the cat's eye.
Nanqiao opened the door, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Is it Miss Nanqiao?"
"Yes, I am. ”
"Oh, there's a bouquet of flowers and a gift for you to sign for. ”
As he spoke, the courier brother stuffed a large bouquet of stars into her arms, plus a beautifully packaged box.
"Wait, are you mistaken, I didn't order these. ”
"Mistaken? No, you're Nanqiao, the person who ordered the flowers and gifts was Mr. Shen, and he said it was your friend. ”
"I ......"
"Sign for it, my wife and children are still waiting for me to go home for the New Year. ”
The courier brother was also an anxious person, he urged Nan Qiao to sign the order, and then rushed away.
Nan Qiao was a little overwhelmed with the flowers, and she opened the box to find that there were many lollipops inside.
Suddenly, the door next to her opened, looking for a voice, Nan Qiao called out incredulously: "Sister Hua?"
“………”
This is the first time Nanqiao has entered Sister Hua's apartment, she lives alone, the spacious and bright suite, compared to Nanqiao's living in it, it is simply a paradise.
"Sister Hua, aren't you going back?"
"yes, it's back again, do you want to come over and have some food together?"
Looking along Sister Hua's line of sight, Nanqiao saw a western table with hot pot, red wine and various dishes.
Nan Qiao nodded, "Okay." ”
"Well, put the flowers down, boyfriend sent them?"
Nan Qiao shook her head, "No, it's a classmate." ”
"Oh, come here. ”
The two sat down facing each other, and Sister Hua was about to pour wine for Nanqiao.
"Sister Hua, I can't drink. ”
"What can't you drink, eighteen years old is not a child laborer, why can't you drink wine, come, I'm happy to drink with my sister during the New Year today." ”
As she spoke, she brought the wine glass to Nan Qiao, "Drink." ”
"Sister Hua, I really can't drink it, I just finished having a miscarriage. ”
Nan Qiao lowered her head and whispered the reason, and Sister Hua was stunned for a moment with the hand that was about to pour the wine bottle.
"In that case, let's drink coconut water. ”
Sister Hua didn't ask Nan Qiao why she did the abortion, and she never asked much about what others didn't want to say.
"Yes, good. ”
"Come, cheers, and Happy New Year. ”
Sister Hua raised her head and swallowed a full glass of red wine into her stomach.
Nanqiao followed and drank half a glass of coconut water, she looked at Sister Hua cautiously, she didn't understand how Sister Hua went back to her hometown for the New Year a few days ago, and why she appeared here alone today.
"Eat, eat more. ”
Sister Hua vigorously gave Nanqiao vegetables, which was very different from her usual.
"Thank you, Sister Hua. ”
"Knock knock. ”
Nanqiao was eating vegetables, and Sister Hua had another glass of red wine, and then she saw tears shining in Sister Hua's eyes.
"Sister Hua, drink less. ”
Nanqiao put down her chopsticks and reached out to stop Sister Hua's hand that was about to pour wine.
"It's okay, this little wine is nothing, Nanqiao, thank you for accompanying my sister for the New Year, do you know, the first time I saw you, I felt that you would definitely have a future in the future, of course, in addition to this, there is another reason that your eyes look very much like my daughter. ”
This is the first time Nan Qiao has heard Sister Hua mention her private affairs, she always thought that she was an older unmarried young woman, but she didn't expect to have a daughter.
"Then why didn't you celebrate the New Year with her today?"
Sister Hua smiled, "Don't mention it, her father won't let me see her, I bought a bunch of new clothes and burned them for me, that animal is obviously cheating on himself, and he has to fight with me for the custody of his daughter, and he put the basin of unfaithfulness in marriage on my head, which made me a joke of the whole village, you see, now I have a home and can't go back, is it miserable?"
Sister Hua babbled about herself, maybe she was really drunk, otherwise how could she let off her guard so much, and pushed her heart to tell Nanqiao her secret.
Nan Qiao didn't expect Sister Hua to have such a bumpy experience, she always thought that she was the worst one among the people she knew.
"Eh, Sister Hua, haven't you thought about arguing for yourself?"
"Argue a fart, even if the old lady has money now, she can't resist the scoundrel's family, Nan Qiao, men really don't have a good thing, really, you see I paid so much for him, I got pregnant before marriage, married him against all the gossip, went to give birth to a child for half my life, was willing to be a full-time housewife, filial piety to his parents, and took care of the children, what about him? He went to engage women, and finally had to unite his parents to suppress me, Nanqiao, how could there be such a terrible family in this world. ”
The bitter and sad past made Sister Hua's eyes blur with tears, and she picked up the red wine bottle next to her and canned it directly.
"Sister Hua. ”
Nan Qiao didn't know how to persuade her, she was not married, and she couldn't empathize, and the only thing she could do now was to accompany her and be a qualified listener.
"Really, Nanqiao, as a woman, you must be self-reliant and self-reliant, men, talking mouths, deceitful ghosts, they are all dogs that can't be fed, no matter how much you do for him, in the end they can't withstand the sweet words of women outside, as long as they snort and spread their legs, it turns out that the men who swear by you sweetly can't find the north, they will ruthlessly abandon you, abandon!"
"Bang dang. ”
When it came to emotion, Sister Hua slammed the wine bottle on the ground, and the glass bottle shattered into slag in an instant.
"Nanqiao, do you know? I didn't know anything about Dior 999 before, and I didn't know what Hermes royal series was, I only knew that I was working in the field with my children on my back, planting vegetables, selling vegetables, I worked hard to earn money and wanted to go to the county to buy a house, and guess what? That animal was obsessed with the female anchor, and rewarded her with 100,000 yuan a night, hahaha, that 100,000 yuan was my foot sucked by how many locusts, and how many times my child rolled off his back in exchange, and he just took it and wasted it, you know? If he was a chicken at the time, I really just chopped him like that. ”
Nan Qiao couldn't have imagined that Sister Hua still had this experience, it turned out that not everyone was really smooth sailing.
Wiping away her tears, Sister Hua adjusted her state, "So Nanqiao, remember my sister's words today, you must not be too good to men, they are born cheap, the better you are, the more they don't know how to cherish them, what you have to do is to become strong yourself." ”
What a heartfelt proverb and aphorism, but unfortunately Nanqiao was still young at that time and had not experienced it, so she just listened to these as Sister Hua's drunken words.
The two chatted until eleven o'clock in the evening, until Sister Hua couldn't resist falling asleep.
Nan Qiao helped Sister Hua to bed, cleaned her briefly, and then went back to the living room to clean up the mess, and then returned to the suite where she lived.
As soon as I entered the door, my mobile phone rang, and the call was from Shen Dushi.
Thinking of the flowers and gifts just now, Nan Qiao felt that she should thank Shen Dushi no matter what, and after hesitating for a moment, she picked up the phone.
"Hey, Mr. Shen. ”
"Nanqiao, you finally answered the phone, and I'm still worried about your accident. ”
"It's okay, I just had dinner with our manager, I didn't bring my phone. ”
"Well, did you get it?"
"Got it, thank you. ”
The two of you came and went politely, and they said some inconsequential words, just when Nan Qiao was about to hang up the phone, Shen Dushi suddenly said:
"Nanqiao, do you know why I sent you a sky full of stars? Because I want to watch the fireworks with you, but you are in Beicheng, I am in Jing County, I have no way to accompany you, so I can only wish you a happy new year in this way, this sky full of stars is like a flower of fireworks at the moment of brilliant bloom into a sky full of stars, may your future life be as dazzling as those stars. ”
What a dreamy and beautiful explanation, I think these words can only be said by Shen Dushi.
After a long time, Nan Qiao responded, "Thank you, Shen Dushi." ”
Hang up the phone, just a cluster of fireworks rushed to the sky, the dim night was lit up by firelight, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the North City was full of fireworks and embers.
Nanqiao is very glad that she has not been completely forgotten, Ma broke and sent her red envelopes and New Year's wishes, she divided her New Year's money in half of Nanqiao, which made her feel that even if there is no family affection, friendship can warm her, Shen Dusk's sudden romance made her feel that she was not in despair, Sister Hua's heartfelt let her know that in fact, the world of adults is not easy, and it turns out that life does not seem to be so bad.
For the first time, Nan Qiao didn't bother Han Zhi on such a particularly important day, she put her phone aside and fell asleep to the sound of the New Year's bell.
