Chapter 85: An Accident Descends from the Sky
The house of the Zhang family is in the big locust tree alley, with blue bricks and gray tiles, and a large yard.
Going out to the west across the street, is the bustling Xihu Street, it is very convenient to buy things, to the east is Yudong Street, along the Yudong Street to the north for about ten minutes, is a good new style school, in the future Qing'er school is also convenient.
Coincidentally, another twenty minutes north of the school was the school where she worked. In this way, she can go out with Qing'er and go home together every day, saving the trouble of picking up Qing'er to and from school.
Therefore, how to talk about the house first, just talking about the geographical location, Kang Yurong is very satisfied.
The Zhang family has a business in Beijing, and this house was originally used by Zhang Yizhi to settle down in Beijing. Usually there is no one, only a man in his forties here to watch the house.
Walking in, there are corridors on both sides, and the main room is very large and also has a corridor. There are two small trees in the yard, one grape trellis, from here to the left and right, are two wings.
Kang Yurong looked everywhere, and it was clean inside and out. It seems that someone is hired to clean it regularly on weekdays.
The house is good, but it's too big, and cleaning alone is a big deal in a day.
Kang Yurong calculated the account in his heart, if he hired someone, he would have to take care of eating, drinking, and scattering, which would cost money. There is also the repair and maintenance of the house, which is a big expense.
Throw away these, and then throw away her and Qing'er's daily expenses, and after this month, there is not much left of her salary.
No, we have to think of a way to reduce our expenses.
Kang Yurong stood in the courtyard, looked around for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to the man behind him: "Uncle Wang, you can help me find two masons tomorrow and let them build walls in the yard, the sooner the better." ”
"Huh?" Uncle Wang didn't understand, why should he build a wall in a good yard, and said, "That won't look good." ”
Kang Yurong nodded and said, "It's not very good-looking, but it's practical." ”
A wall that divides a compound into two separate ones. Kang Yurong's mother and son lived on the left, and the right side was rented out.
Next, Kang Yurong was busy for two more days, moved and went through the enrollment procedures for Qing'er.
In this way, Qing'er entered a new environment and a new life. And Kang Yurong also started, and the class was on the right track.
This morning, Kang Yurong put breakfast on the table and said, "Qing'er, are you dressed? ”
Qing'er is very adaptable and learns things quite quickly.
A while ago, he was still a rich young master who came to stretch out his hands for food and open his mouth. Now, everything can be done independently, and it is never necessary for Kang Yurong to interfere in the slightest.
Self-reliant in life, and the school has long been in harmony with his classmates. His friendliness not only makes his friends like to be close, but even the teachers like it.
"Alright. Qing'er wore a school uniform and ran out of the room with a schoolbag in her arms.
There are only two people in the family, so naturally there are not so many rules. At the dinner table, the two of them ate and drank, talked and laughed.
After breakfast, Kang Yurong packed up and walked out together.
Walking to the gate, Qing'er suddenly stopped and said, "Ah, I forgot to bring the book I borrowed from my classmate, and I said that I would return it today." Mother, you go out first, and I'll come right away. Before he could finish speaking, he ran back.
Kang Yurong looked at the hurried little figure, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
She opened the courtyard door and walked out. His eyes unconsciously turned to the right, and when he saw the person coming out of it, his whole face was about to collapse.
What the hell?
Hell yes hell ......
Since the last time Ke Mulan was forcibly arrested to be a "cook", the two have not seen each other for more than half a month. There are many elements of Kang Yurong deliberately avoiding this, and of course, there are also reasons why Ke Mulan is really busy.
After moving in, Kang Yurong was also glad to think that this place was separated from Ke Mulan's residence by several miles from the south and the north.
He is busy with her, and it is not easy to meet. What's more, she "doesn't want to"?
But why did this guy come out of her next door now?
The couple living next door is obviously a couple who came to Beijing from Shanghai to do business. She's the landlord, she personally received her ten days ago?
Kang Yurong was messy: "You...... Why are you here?" she said in surprise.
Ke Mulan was much calmer than her, locked the door unhurriedly, and walked a few steps towards her, and then said slowly: "I live here." ”
Kang Yurong's forehead was about to jump, and he said, "How did you end up living here? What about the Shanghai couple?"
"I traded it away at a high price. Ke Mulan said frankly.
"You ......" Kang Yu didn't know what to say anymore, so he paused and said, "I am the landlord of this house, I want to quit the rent, you can find another house." ”
Ke Mulan said, "Yes." This house is eighty dollars a month, and I pay a year's rent. It is very clear in the agreement that if one party innocently breaks the contract, he will pay three times the rent of the other party, a total of 2,880 yuan. You pay the compensation, and I'll leave immediately. ”
More than two thousand?
She hasn't earned a cent from this house, so she has to post so much money for nothing, is it possible?
She yelled, "No money." ”
Ke Mulan looked at her and smiled: "I have no money, I can only continue to live." ”
Seeing his sinister smile on his face, she immediately gave him a wide roll of her eyes and asked, "Why do you want to live here?"
"Because you're here. Ke Mulan replied.
He took another step forward, his dark eyes glowing with a burning light that locked her eyes tightly. Without waiting for her to speak, she said again: "Yurong, I said that I would always chase you." ”
Kang Yurong didn't want to admit it, but the facts couldn't be overturned. His eyes were demonic, and once she touched them, she lost the ability to speak, and could do nothing but look at her.
At this time, Qing'er shouted and ran out of it: "Mother, I got it." ”
The immature voice, like a steel needle, instantly woke up the "hibernating" man and woman.
Kang Yurong subconsciously took two steps back, pulling a safe distance from Ke Mulan.
Qing'er carried her schoolbag, came over to hold Kang Yurong's hand, looked at Ke Mulan, and asked, "Mother, do you know this uncle?"
For some reason, Kang Yurong was very uncomfortable, she suddenly didn't dare to look at Ke Mulan's eyes, as if she had done something bad and was caught by him.
She squeezed hard, and finally a smile appeared on her face, before she replied, "Yes." This is our new neighbor, Uncle Ke. ”
"Hello Uncle Ke. Qing'er said politely.
New neighbors?
Is it that simple?
However, Ke Mulan didn't have the heart to care about these things at all now. Even when Qing'er greeted him, he just nodded his head in a wooden manner.
Ke Mulan's eyes swirled back and forth between Kang Yurong and Qing'er, and a minute later froze on Kang Yurong's face.
He ...... He's, he's your son?"
He knew that she was married, and he knew that she was divorced again, but he didn't know that she had another son, a son of this age.
Qing'er's impact on Ke Mulan was too sudden and too great. He used all the self-control in his life to calm himself down, but found that it didn't have much effect, because when he spoke, his voice was clearly still trembling.
Kang Yurong stood there, looking at Ke Mulan's shocked expression, and his body was as stiff as a stone.
has known Ke Mulan for so many years, and Kang Yurong rarely mentions the Kang family or the Zhang family.
Her father and second brother were indifferent to her, and she didn't want to mention it; Zhang Shengcheng hurt her, she didn't want to talk about it; because she owed too much to Qing'er, she didn't want to think about it.
Ke Mulan understands her distress, so she is always careful to avoid these when she speaks.
In order not to touch the deep pain in her heart, Ke Mulan rarely talked about family problems in front of her, even about his own family, just for fear that she would "touch the scene".
Therefore, Ke Mulan almost "knows nothing" about her.
Obviously, Qing'er's appearance was a big surprise to him. Perhaps, there will be no Qing'er in his consciousness at all.
The distance between them has always been the reason for her to hold back. Now Qing'er's appearance is undoubtedly deepening and widening the distance between them again.
wide, so that he is unable to take another step forward.
That's fine, she thought.
In the past, she deliberately avoided him. In the future, he will voluntarily disappear in front of her eyes.
That's good, it's really good.
It's just, why is her heart heavy? Why are her eyes wet?
After a long time, Kang Yurong slowly came to his senses, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and said calmly: "That's right, this is my son, and he will live with me in Beijing in the future, and he will never be separated." My son still has to go to class, so he left first. He tilted his head and said, "Qing'er, say goodbye to Uncle Ke." ”
"Goodbye, Uncle Ke. Qing'er waved her hand.
After speaking, he no longer looked at Ke Mulan's expression, Kang Yurong pulled Qing'er and turned around and left.
Ke Mulan looked at the big and small figures, did not speak, and did not chase after them.
Because, he was still confused, and he hadn't recovered from the situation just now.
Walking to Yudong Street, Qing'er raised her head and couldn't help asking, "Mother, did Qing'er make you angry?"
Kang Yurong was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "No, why did Qing'er ask that?"
"Because my mother pinched Qing'er's hand. ”
Kang Yurong suddenly let go, then squatted down, held up Qing'er's little hand and saw that the white and tender little palm was marked with several bright red nail prints.
Kang Yurong immediately said apologetically: "Qing'er, I'm sorry, my mother didn't mean it." ”
Qing'er shook her head and said with a smile: "I know, my mother hurts Qing'er so much, how can it be deliberate? Mother, if you are unhappy, you must tell Qing'er, Qing'er will tell her a lot of jokes to make her mother happy." ”
Kang Yurong's eyes are red, who said that her daughter is her father's little padded jacket?
She said: "My mother is not unhappy, my mother just thinks about things." ”
"Is it something to do with that Uncle Ke?"
