Chapter Twenty-Three: Returning Home for the New Year

The days passed so plainly, Qinghuan received an offer from Deju when the Chinese New Year was approaching, she went through the resignation procedures a week in advance, and embarked on the journey home.

Her parents were naturally happy to hear the news of her return, and while her mother was cleaning up her room, she asked, "Where is Song Hai? When will he come back?"

Qing Huan was next to him and took out the clothes in the suitcase one by one, and when he heard his hand pause, he said, "Mom, I want to tell you something." ”

"You say," the mother patted the pillows, placed them neatly at the head of the bed, and turned around.

Qing Huan also stood up, pressed her mother to the edge of the bed and sat down, pulled a chair and sat in front of her, and muttered for a while before saying, "Mom, I broke up with Song Hai." ”

The mother's eyes opened slightly, then she stared at her blankly, and after a long while, she murmured, "How can this be?

Qing Huan was silent for a few seconds before saying, "It won't be long, the two of us are not suitable, and we won't be happy if we are barely together." ”

When her mother looked at her, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she took her hand and said, "Qinghuan, what's going on?" You tell your mother, you are fine, why did you break up suddenly? Did Song Hai do something sorry for you?"

"Mom," Qing Huan interrupted her mother, "It's just that the two of us don't love each other anymore and can't be together, don't ask, if there is anything in the future, you can just come to me directly, don't call Song Hai again." ”

"You've been with him for so many years, how can you just forget it just because you don't love him?" The mother said a little anxiously, "A woman's youth is not a few years old, aren't you all wasted on him? What will you do in the future? You listen to the mother, if it is just the first time, teach him a good lesson, let him promise not to commit it again in the future, forget it, you are still young, so I don't understand, what you love or don't love in life, this is not the most important ......"

"Mom......" Qing Huan was a little helpless, pressing her mother's hand, "The two of us have separated, it is impossible to continue to be together, and it is also the breakup he proposed, don't think about it anymore, besides, without him Song Hai, will I not be able to live well? You have to have a little confidence in me." ”

"You have lived with him for so many years without a name, he is a man, it doesn't matter, but what about you?" the mother's tears fell, and she said reproachfully: "I knew that I couldn't have let you be with him like that." ”

Qing Huan was a little crying and laughing, "Mom, what age is this, are you still worried about these ......?"

"No matter what the era, reputation is the most important thing for a girl. The mother said a little angrily, "I was too obedient to you at the beginning, and I also thought that you would get married sooner or later, so I didn't say much, but now that I think about it, I really regret it." ”

"Okay, okay, but everything has happened, it's useless for you to regret it, isn't it?" Qing Huan couldn't resist her mother, so she had to follow her words, "And Dad, you wait for him to get better, and then tell him about it." ”

The mother sighed, nodded, and when she looked up at her, her eyes were red again, "What will you do in S City alone in the future?" or come back, at least there are parents at home who can take care of you." ”

"Mom, don't worry, I got a good job, the salary is much higher than before, and it will definitely be better in the future, and I can bear Dad's medical expenses alone in the future," Qing Huan said and took out a card from his bag, "You take the money first, and then call me when it runs out, and I'll send it to you." ”

"You'd better keep it for yourself," the mother refused to accept it, "we can't give you anything, we're already very guilty, you're alone now, how can you do it without any money around?"

"I still have it there, don't worry about it. Qing Huan forced it into her mother's pocket, "I told you that I raised my salary......"

The mother couldn't refuse her, so she had to accept it, looking at her daughter's obviously emaciated face, her heart was sour.

"I've been in the car for more than three hours, I'm starving to death, Mom, go cook, I want to eat your sweet and sour tenderloin." Seeing that his room was about to be described as gloomy and bleak, in order to ease the atmosphere, Qing Huan stood up, stretched his waist and pretended to be relaxed.

Mother nodded, stood up silently, and went to the kitchen to cook.

After her mother left, Qing Huan was alone in the room, breathing a long sigh of relief, and finally told the family about it, which was also a matter of her heart, she stood up, looked at the bare branches outside the window, and was slightly stunned, and now when she talks about Song Hai's affairs, her heart is already so calm, there is no resentment at the beginning, and there is no reluctant dull pain when she pretended to be strong later, it is really calm.

After so many years with Song Hai, I once believed very sincerely that she really couldn't live without him, but time has proven everything, everything is forgotten in silence, and the rest is just the pain of eating a trench and growing wise.

also responded to that sentence very sincerely: At the beginning of the story, we thought that the other party was the only one in our lives that we couldn't miss, but in the end, we found out in despair that you don't have to marry me, I don't have to marry you, everything is just a misunderstanding that is too hurtful.

The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Qinghuan and her parents went to sweep the grave of her grandparents, and when she went down the mountain, she happened to meet Zhao Meixin, who also came to sweep the grave, she was very happy when she saw Qinghuan, and hurriedly asked: "When did you come back, why didn't you call?"

"I came back a few days ago, and I have been helping my family prepare for the New Year, but I didn't have time to call you. Qing Huan smiled and said.

"That night, we must have a good gathering, call Xiaowei them, you don't know, she is going to marry Lin Feng, and the wedding will be held after the New Year......"

"Really?" Qing Huan said in surprise, "Didn't they all look at each other when they were studying?"

"Yes, so fate is really unclear. Zhao Meixin said with some sighs.

"Qinghuan, you and Meixin go to play together, things are almost the same at home, you haven't been back for so long, it's okay to get together with your original friends. Mother smiled at Qinghuan and said with some meaning.

"Yes, you guys go, a few of us old people can walk together, there is a bus in front, which is very convenient. Zhao Meixin's mother also said with a smile.

Qing Huan thought about it, nodded, and left with Zhao Meixin.

On the way back to the city, I saw a convoy lined up in front of the tunnel from a distance, where daily maintenance was being done, and only one-way cars could be allowed to pass, at this time it was just their turn to wait in line for the car on their side, Zhao Meixin parked the car on the side of the road, and got out of the car with Qing Huan to smoke, and when she was chatting, she saw a Mercedes-Benz convoy coming out of the tunnel, driving in the direction of the cemetery one by one, looking quite solemn.

"It's a big battle. Qing Huan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said.

"Who said it wasn't," Zhao Meixin said after extinguishing the cigarette butt in her hand, "I seem to have heard a friend say that it was whose family returned to their hometown this year to worship their ancestors, but I didn't expect that their hometown was actually our small town." ”

As she spoke, she whispered a name in Qing Huan's ear.

"Really?" Qing Huan couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard this, "He's actually from us here?"

"yes, I didn't expect that. ”

Qing Huan looked at the convoy that had not completely come out of the tunnel so far, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, at this time, when one of them passed in front of her, the window rolled down a crack slightly, she unconsciously glanced inside, but met a pair of calm and waveless eyes, but only for a moment, the window was quickly rolled up again.

She was stunned for a moment, feeling that those eyes seemed familiar, but she couldn't react for a while, where had she seen them.

"Qinghuan, get in the car, you can go. Zhao Meixin called her.

"Oh, good. Qing Huan turned around, got into the car, and no longer thought about the scene just now.

In the evening, several old classmates got together to eat and sing, and when they came out of KTV, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the night, Lin Feng drank a little happily, and suggested with great interest: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, right? Let's just go to the square to set off fireworks, okay?"

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, only Qing Huan frowned, took out his mobile phone and glanced at it.

"Let's go, Qinghuan, it won't take much time to set off fireworks......" Before she could say anything, Zhao Meixin dragged her into the taxi.

Qing Huan was helpless, so she had to continue to go crazy with them.

At this time, the square was empty and unusually lonely, Zhao Meixin Qinghuan put the fireworks they bought in a line in the center of the square, lit the fuse and covered his ears like a child and retreated back, with a loud "bang", breaking the silence in the square.

A cloud of colored light rose rapidly, leaving a trail of gray smoke in its wake. Then there was a snap, and a "flower" bloomed in the air. Then it splits into countless tiny points of light, illuminating the night sky, and then the fireworks behind it also bloom one after another, and the colorful flowers are overlapping and colorful, which is very beautiful.

Qing Huan looked up at the night sky, only to feel that she had not been so relaxed and happy for a long time, she and Zhao Meixin laughed and jumped together, but when she inadvertently turned her head, she suddenly saw a long figure not far away, cold as jade.

She was slightly stunned, looked at it intently, and then determined that the person standing there was not Chen Yidong, but who was it!

Chen Yidong also spotted her at this time, and a look of surprise flashed on his face, but he still put his hands in the pockets of his coat and stood still in place.

Qing Huan hesitated for a moment, but walked over slowly, and smiled at him: "Hi." ”

Chen Yidong glanced at her lightly, and then the corners of his lips curled and said, "It turned out to be you." ”
