On Friday afternoon, Chang Jiahui called Chang'an and asked if she would go to Fengli on Saturday.

Chang An hesitated.

"Go ahead. ”

"Really?" Chang Jiahui's tone was obviously very excited, "Then I'll call my mother and ask her to prepare lunch, by the way, will my brother-in-law accompany you?"

"I don't know if he's free yet, he's been busy lately!"

"Okay, tell me when you go, I'll rub your car. Chang An smiled and hung up the phone.

Zhou Yan came back in the evening, and Chang An mentioned to him about going to Fengli before going to bed.

"Tomorrow?"

"yes, tomorrow Saturday, don't you have time?"

"It's not that there is no time. Zhou Wei thought for a while: "Tomorrow Fang Rushan will do a full moon wine, have you forgotten?"

Chang An then remembered that Fang Rushan had called Zhou Wei before, and the post had arrived, inviting the two of them to attend.

"What, you don't want to go?" Zhou Wei clearly saw the unnatural expression on her face.

Chang An rubbed his face into his arms: "To be honest, I really don't want to go." ”

Zhou Wei smiled and touched the top of her hair, "Then don't go." ”

"Is that okay?"

"Why not? I'll make an excuse for you. ”

Chang An's mood instantly improved, and he hugged his neck: "Thank you." ”

"Just thanks?"

"Huh?"

In the next second, Zhou Wei had already hugged the person to himself.

"You..."

"If you want to thank you, let's have something practical!"

He split Chang An's legs and let her straddle his waist and abdomen, in such an ambiguous posture... Chang An lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.

"Come every day, are you tired of it?"

Zhou Wei brushed away the long hair covering her face with her hand, and gently rubbed the tender skin on her cheeks with her fingertips, both of them have slept for so long, and she can still burn her face every time, which is also a skill, but the more Zhou Tao looks at it, the more she likes it.

"I'm not tired, how can I be tired, but today we have some new tricks?"

“……”

The next day, Zhou Yan rarely didn't get up early, and slept with Chang An until he woke up naturally.

The two had breakfast together, because she made an appointment with Chang Jiahui to go back to the countryside, so she changed her clothes after breakfast.

At about nine o'clock, Xiao Zhao came to pick up people.

"Xiao Zhao sent me to Fengli, I don't know when I will come back in the afternoon, how do you go to the banquet?"

Zhou Wei smiled: "Are you still worried about this? Xu Nan will also go, and I can drive myself." ”

"Then don't drink when you drive at night. ”

"Got it, I'm measured!"

Zhou Yan has been sending Chang An to the door, watching her get in the car before going back, because he wants to pick up Chang Jiahui, so Chang An asked Xiao Zhao to go to Yihe first, and called her in advance on the way, and made an appointment to let her go downstairs in advance, but this unreliable sister has no concept of time at all, and there is not even a ghost shadow when the car arrives downstairs.

"Sister, wait for me for another five minutes, and I'll go downstairs in five minutes!"

But five minutes, another five minutes, almost half an hour passed.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Zhao, my sister is dragging her feet. Chang An was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Zhao hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, it's still early, it's okay to wait!"

The two waited for about five minutes.

Xiao Zhao: "Madam, if you don't wait here first, I'll go to the supermarket at the door to buy a pack of cigarettes, and I'll go back quickly." ”

Chang An smiled: "Okay, don't worry." ”

Xiao Zhao quickly took his wallet and got out of the car, but the car did not turn off, and it was basking in the sun for more than half an hour, and the car was a little hot.

Chang An's body sank, and he walked over looking for a voice.

The greening of the community is very good, the shade of the trees is lush this season, and the green area in front of each building is also full of cherry blossom trees, which is the time when the cherry blossoms bloom, full of pink and red.

Chang An saw the car again through this piece of pink, it was the one he saw opposite the bookstore a few days ago, Chu Feng was already standing next to the car, and soon Zhou Xin, who was wearing a black super hat, also came out of the corridor, Chu Feng stepped forward and hugged her very affectionately, bowed his head and wanted to kiss, but was pushed away by Zhou Xin.

"What to do!" she said badly.

Chu Feng had a hippie smile and was not angry.

"Why, I was still very commotion in bed last night, and I turned my face and didn't recognize anyone at dawn?"

Although Chang An had roughly guessed the relationship between the two before, he was still a little overwhelmed when he heard it with his own ears.

The education, character and cultivation she received since she was a child could not accept this casual relationship between men and women.

Zhou Xin seemed to snort: "You're almost done, just accept it when you see it, do you really think I'll always play with you?" She pushed Chu Feng away and was about to get into the car, but the person behind her suddenly looked at her, grabbed Zhou Xin's waist and threw her to the car door.

The sudden scene, Chang An was so frightened that he hid behind a tree, but he couldn't see it in his eyes, but his ears heard more clearly.

Zhou Xin should have been hit and hurt, hissed in his mouth, and cursed twice: "Are you sick?"

"Yes, I'm sick, but you're no less sick than I am!"

"Let go, let go of the heard!"

The sound of struggles, the sound of heels kicking against the car door, but to no avail.

"Zhou Xin, I can tell you, don't treat me as a wronged boss, the reason why I can cooperate with Rongbang is completely because you sleep with me, you have to throw my face again to make me angry, Lao Tzu will kill you!"

"You fucking bastard!"

"Yes, I'm a bastard, but don't stare at me so viciously, I'm still a little new to you, and when this is over, do you think I'll be here again?"

"Ho, then I really ask God to worship the Buddha and let you pass this energy as soon as possible!" Zhou Xin's cool voice swayed in the wind, "But don't forget, you make me uncomfortable, and I won't let you live comfortably!"

"And threaten me?"

"What if it's threatened?"

"Snort... Do you really think I'm afraid? With the little evidence in your hand, okay, whether you expose it or hand it over to the police, can you still sue me for forcing my daughter to you?"

"You ......"

"Besides, you should be careful about your identity, your father, your grandfather... Think about it, in order to give her eldest brother a loan, the second lady of the Zhou family did not hesitate to strip naked and climb into someone else's bed, do you know what this is called? This is called power and sex trading, maybe the police will deduct your eldest brother for a bribery of X, who can tell when the time comes?"

The soles of Chang An's feet were weak, and what the two people said behind him couldn't hear it at all.

She didn't know when the car had left, and by the time she came back to her senses, there was no one in the shade.

The petals at the feet are scattered, and the ground is covered with a layer of powder, which should have been a beautiful scenery.

"Madam, why are you standing there in the big sun?" Xiao Zhao bought cigarettes and came back.

Chang An was forced to come back to his senses, and the sound of the wind and leaves in his ears was already sweating before he knew it.

"Xiao Zhao. She spoke, her voice trembling slightly, "Zhou Xin... Do you usually stay here?"

Xiao Zhao has been with Zhou for many years, so he also knows something about the Zhou family.

"This real estate is developed by Rongbang, and the house is designed by Miss Er, so after the opening, Mr. Zhou gave her a large apartment, but I haven't heard that she lives here, maybe she only comes here occasionally, what, did you see Miss Second just now?"

Chang An looked at it with a vague look in his eyes and shook his head: "No... No, just ask!"

The two got back into the car, Xiao Zhao turned on the air conditioner, and Chang Jiahui finally came down a few minutes later.

"Sister, why is your face so ugly, and you didn't sleep well last night?"

Chang An had already eased up a little, raised his hand and touched his face, it was very cold.

"Yes, maybe—" she said casually, twisting her fingers, and said no more.

On the way, Chang Jiahui chatted and started chatting, but seeing that Chang An was not in high spirits, he slowly shut up and plugged his headphones to play games next to him.

Chang An looked at the fleeting trees outside the window, and his mind was full of the conversation he had just heard.

She's not stupid, she can almost piece together the whole story, but does Zhou Wei know about this?

Chang An expected that he shouldn't know, she firmly believed that he was not the one who could betray Zhou Xin for business, so on the contrary, if he knew the truth and knew that Zhou Xin betrayed himself to help him get through the difficulties, what would he do?

It was a woman he had cherished for nearly thirty years, and he had even loved and paid his feelings for a time, even now Chang An couldn't be sure that he had no love for Zhou Xin.

They grew up together, they worked together, they made progress together, if he knew the truth, what would he do?

Chang An hesitated all the way with such a contradictory mood, until the car entered the mountain.

Zhou Wei suddenly called.

"Have you arrived?"

Chang An breathed a sigh of relief, "Hmm." ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's almost there..."

"Why, I didn't go with you today, I'm angry?" he was always the first to detect his mood swings, even if it was only by the sound of the call. Chang An lowered his head and pulled his fingers, "No, Zhou Xun..."

She suddenly called his name solemnly, and Zhou Wei paused, "Something?"

Chang An suddenly wanted to cry, I don't know why, his heart seemed to be grabbed by a force, he couldn't breathe, and he felt a heavy feeling of suffocation.

People are always selfish.

She wasn't a great man, she wasn't a virgin, and she couldn't tell him about it herself.

"I... It's okay, I just want to tell you, drink less at night, and don't drive after drinking. ”

Chang Jiahui next to her suddenly "snorted", "Don't you two want to be so tired, and you're not newly married, how long have you just been out and started talking on the phone!"

Xiao Zhao in front was also amused, and his eyes frequently aimed in the rearview mirror.

Chang An was said very embarrassed: "Then let's not talk about it for now, I'll contact you later!" She hurriedly hung up, and Chang Jiahui had already taken off her headphones and came over.

"Sister, haven't you and your brother-in-law's love period passed? It's hard to go out and be sticky like this, how can I, a single dog, live next to me?" Chang Jiahui made a very painful look.

Chang An was finally amused by her success and pushed down: "Go, it's not serious!"

Maybe it was Zhou Yi's phone call that interrupted Chang An's thoughts, and she was much more stable in the second half of the journey.

I entered the village before lunch, and it was not the first time Xiao Zhao came, so he was familiar with the road and parked the car in the cement open space at the door.

Chang An followed Chang Jiahui into the house.

"Mom, we're back!" Chang Jiahui began to shout as soon as she entered the front hall, and soon there was a sound of footsteps from the kitchen, and Wei Suying, who was wearing an apron, walked out.

Chang An clenched his fists slightly and shouted, "Aunt Ying!"

"Eh, it's back, it's good to be back. She was obviously a little excited, but her expression was well controlled, just like usual.

Chang Jiahui fanned the wind with her hand as a fan: "It's hot, can you eat?"

"Not yet, why do you eat as soon as you come back!" Wei Suying glared at Chang Jiahui, and then turned to Chang An, "Go and sit in the back room for a while, it's cool over there." When he was finished, he shouted, "Little love, little love..."

The hearty voice of the little nanny came from the kitchen.

"Pour some water into the back room, wash the grapes and bring them over!"

"Great!"

Chang Jiahui walked back with her bag on her shoulder.

Chang An hesitated, "Aunt Ying, I... Where's Dad?"

At the turn of spring and summer, the weather is most pleasant in May.

Chang An walked through the porch alone, behind which was a small courtyard, with several old locust trees that had grown for decades, and a little farther away it was empty, but now it was blocked by a fence, and a small vegetable field was cultivated in it, and tomatoes, loofahs, and cabbage were planted in this season...... A rattan chaise longue sits in the shade of one of the trees, flanked by a small bamboo bench with teacups, teapots, and a stack of newspapers.

This situation is very familiar, which reminds Chang An of the last time he chatted with Chang Wangde here.

The father and daughter have actually been very unfamiliar for so many years, and it seems that there is only one time in their memory, the time interval is not long, only a few months, but when they come back, it seems to be another scene.

Chang An puffed up and walked over.

The person on the recliner had his eyes closed, I don't know if he was recuperating or asleep, Chang An stood next to him for a while, feeling that he was thin again, a short-sleeved shirt was worn on his body and was empty, and the dense pinholes could be clearly seen on the exposed arms.

Chang An raised his hand to cover his mouth, he had already asked Wei Suying what he meant, he refused surgery, refused chemotherapy, and refused to go abroad to receive other treatment options.

He just wants to stay here and slowly go through his life with the law of birth, old age, sickness and death.

Chang An knew that time had become a very precious thing for the two of them.

"Dad!" she blurted out, as if she had suddenly lost her burden.

The man on the recliner slowly flicked away his wrinkled eyelids, and above his head was the shade of the trees, and a little sunlight sparkled in the shade of the trees.

"Dad!" Chang An shouted again.

Chang Wangde sat up a little bit with his handrail, "Come on, look at me... Wait, why are you asleep again, hurry up and sit. He got up to help Chang An pull out a chair, but Chang An hurriedly stopped, "I'll come." ”

She carefully put the things on the bamboo bench aside, but she was too far away, so she moved to the other end of the chaise longue, and then sat down, and the "father and daughter" were almost shoulder to shoulder from a distance, and a piece of sparkling light was scattered above their heads.

After sitting for a while, it seemed that both sides were brewing, and in the end, Chang Wangde spoke first.

"How's it going?"

"It's good. ”

"Isn't it still a little uncomfortable?"

"No, it's already adjusted. ”

"It must have been hard at first, right?"

Chang An lowered his head and smiled, "Indeed, it feels like the sky is falling, and it feels like a dream, but I have slowly straightened things out, and I always have to face the reality, and now it is much better." ”

She summed up the dark days of the previous three months in a few words.

Chang Wangde looked into the distance and sighed: "It's hard for you to bear this, but you are stronger than your mother thinks, back then she was always worried about how you would bear all this once the matter was exposed." ”

Chang An didn't speak, she didn't like to put her emotions on her lips, besides, there were some things that others couldn't share at all, she had to suffer by herself, and she had to suffer grievances by herself, at most she shed two tears when she couldn't hold it back, but tears were actually useless.

Chang An admits that she also loves to cry, but when the suffering really comes, she seems to be strong.

When fate comes down, no one is immune, and the only thing you can do is grit your teeth and get through.

Chang Wangde looked into the distance, there was no need for extra comfort, they were silent for a while, and he asked, "Have you been to see him?"

Chang An was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized who the "he" in his mouth was.

"Nope!"

"Not going to go?"

"I haven't decided whether to go yet. ”

Suddenly there were two frog chirping in the distance, and it would be summer if it was a little hotter.

Chang Wangde leaned back on the recliner and slowly rubbed his swollen arm, "Let's go and have a look, don't leave regrets for yourself." ”

Lunch is very light, except for a pork rib soup and a steamed mandarin fish, the others are mainly vegetables, which is very in line with Chang'an's taste.

"The loofah is home-grown, it's cool and goes to the fire, and the tomatoes are also good, you see that you have lost weight recently, hurry up and eat more. Wei Suying kept serving Chang'an vegetables.

Chang An remembered the vegetable patches in the backyard, "Is it planted in the backyard?"

"You see?"

"Hmm. ”

Wei Suying smiled, "It's okay to be idle at home, and isn't the news always reporting that the vegetables bought outside are unhealthy? There are a lot of pesticides and ripening agents, so I wondered if I should grow some myself, I happened to do these when I was a child, and Xiao Ai can also help me, but I didn't expect it to grow all of them." ”

Wei Suying didn't have any frustration in her words, she was just proud and happy, as if she was really happy to grow vegetables, but Chang An knew that there were obviously a lot of last resorts, such as Chang Wangde had already come down, and he would not be given a driver and a car again, and it would become a problem to go to the town to buy vegetables, and Chang Wangde needed medication every day to control his condition, and all imported targeted drugs were not covered by medical insurance, which was a huge expense.

But Wei Suying didn't complain at all, she talked about her cultivation in the backyard so commonplace.

Next to her, Chang Jiahui lowered her head and picked up rice in her mouth.

Chang An pinched his chopsticks and smiled: "It's good, it's green and pollution-free." ”

Wei Suying was even more proud, "Yes, I think so too, then you eat more." ”

In the afternoon, Chang Wangde took medicine and was supposed to sleep for a while, and Wei Suying went upstairs to take care of it.

Chang An searched around but didn't find Chang Jiahui, and finally saw someone in the backyard, she squatted on the steps alone, bored with grass tendons and drew something on the ground.

"Why did you come here alone?" Chang An walked over.

Chang Jiahui, who heard the movement, immediately wiped her face, "Sister!"

Although she covered it well, the red circles under her eyes couldn't cover it at all.

Chang An knew that she should have cried just now.

"What's wrong?"

Chang Jiahui saw that her emotions were not hidden, and she didn't hide them, so she squatted again, "It's nothing, I just think... It's useless to be yourself!"

Chang An smiled bitterly, "Why did you suddenly have such an idea?"

"It's not sudden, it's always been, especially recently!" Chang Jiahui squatted with her knees in her arms, "I know that my mother has been working hard in the past six months, and she has to rely on her to take care of her inside and out, and Dad's illness is getting worse and worse, she doesn't say it, but I see that she often cries secretly behind her back, but I can't help anything as a daughter, and I'm afraid that if Dad really leaves, my mother will not be able to bear this blow!"

Wei Suying's feelings for Chang Wangde are obvious to everyone, and Chang An also knows it.

"No, you have to believe Aunt Ying, she is great and strong!"

Chang Wangde's nap didn't wake up until four o'clock, and Chang An knew that one time was one less, so he stayed there and had dinner before going back.

Before leaving, Wei Suying handed Xiao Zhao a big bag.

"I picked some cucumbers and tomatoes, the amount is not much, but it should be enough to go back and fry two meals!"

It is difficult for Chang An to describe the mood at that time.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, silly boy!" Wei Suying patted Chang An's arm.

Xiao Zhao had already put the bag in the trunk, opened the door and waited for Chang An to get in the car.

Wei Suying glanced at it and held Chang An's hand, "Let it pass, there is still a long way to go, your father's side... I can't ask you what to do to him, but I can tell he wants you to come and see him often. As he spoke, he patted the back of Chang An's hand again, "Xiao An, some words may not be appropriate for me, but no matter what you thought before or now, as long as you are willing, Jiahui will always be your sister, Lao Chang will always be your father, and this family, as long as you are willing to come back, the door will open for you at any time, we are all your family." ”

Chang An didn't remember how she got into the car later, she only remembered that the car drove onto the road, she turned around, the light was still on at the door of the small building, Chang Jiahui and Wei Suying stood in place and watched her leave, and there was a figure leaning on the door frame, it was Chang Wangde.

From the exposure of the case to the present, the sky has fallen apart, and she doesn't seem to have shed any tears, but now, she is sitting alone in the car, bowing her head and crying.

……

Because the next day was Sunday, Chang Jiahui did not follow Chang An back to the city, and Xiao Zhao directly sent people back to Changhe.

Chang An arrived home at almost nine o'clock, opened the door, the house was silent, Zhou Yan did not come back, but Fang Rushan has always been high-profile, and the full moon wine must be very grand, and it is normal that this point is not over.

Chang An sorted out all the bags of fruits and vegetables given by Wei Suying into the refrigerator, and went upstairs to take a shower, and it was already ten o'clock after tossing, and Zhou Wei still didn't come back.

Chang An couldn't help but send him a WeChat message: "Are you still at the banquet?"

No one replied, and it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

After waiting for another half an hour, Chang Jiahui came to WeChat and asked Chang An if he had arrived home, Chang An replied to the message and continued to wait, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, early in the morning......

Chang An thought of what he accidentally knew in Jardine in the morning, most women are sensitive, not to mention her character, so she silently opened Zhou Xin's circle of friends, she was afraid that she would be diaphragm, so she had set up a few months ago "Don't look at her circle of friends", now the setting is lifted, click on it again, the first top is a photo, the photo angle should be from the co-pilot in the car to the road taken out, the road is full of lights and shadows, with the sentence - "May this road have no end, may this long night not wake up..."

Chang An glanced at the update time of the circle of friends, about an hour ago, and she also recognized the interior of the car, which was Zhou Wei's car.

Scold... A good sentence "May there be no end to this road, may this long night not wake up!"
