Chapter 23: Midpoint (2)
may be because he hasn't worked for a long time, and at night, Zhao Qianqiu's hands are so sore that he can't lift them, and he doesn't fall asleep for a long time. Qinghe got up to go to the toilet and saw that the light in Qianqiu's room was still on, and thought he had forgotten to close it, so he pushed the door in and took a look.
"I haven't slept yet, I thought you forgot to turn off the lights......" Seeing that Qianqiu hadn't slept yet, he simply came in and chatted a few words.
"I can't sleep a little...... The hand hurts......" Chiaki looked at Kiyowa and sent him a distress signal.
"I don't usually exercise much, and doing so many things at once will inevitably lead to the accumulation of lactic acid, and I will be fine after a day or two. Kiyowa sat down next to her, yawned, and then reached out to rub her arm, "Left hand or right hand?"
"Both hands are sore...... "Qianqiu was aggrieved, she knew that making dim sum was so tiring, she should have picked something simple to learn.
"I'll rub it for you, you close your eyes, and you won't feel pain when you fall asleep. This is a very common sentence, but Qinghe's heartbeat suddenly skipped, so he had said a long time ago, the patient lying on the bed would shake his head to himself every time and say that he was not in pain at all, but she wanted to dig her internal organs out of her stomach every time. That kind of pain is incomprehensible to ordinary people, at that time, Qinghe stupidly thought that as long as he helped rub it, he could relieve the symptoms, who knew that the person's smile was all pretended, if he was more careful at that time, maybe she wouldn't have to endure it all the time.
"It's so painful...... Qinghe suddenly felt that he was about to lose his breath, and the hands he had been rubbing stopped, he tried not to let himself make a sound, after all, Chiaki had just fallen asleep at this time. He slipped off the edge of the bed, leaning his back against the bed and burying his head in his knees. The feeling of loss and helplessness spread through his body, and he clutched his chest so tightly that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"Mom...... You must have been in a lot of pain at that time, right...... I still have to laugh all the time, I'm really unfilial......" Qinghe muttered to himself in his heart, he experienced the death of people close to him again and again, his heart has already become full of holes, he doesn't want to live in this world for a long time, but why do he want to live desperately. He suddenly didn't understand, he felt that when Qianqiu didn't need him one day, maybe it would be time for him to leave.
He sat on the floor for a long time before standing up slowly, looking at Chiaki's sleeping face and smiling bitterly, then left the room, turning off the light in her room.
"What's wrong with me?" he realized he was crying when he went out, tears coming out of his eyes one after another. His heart was shaken, his mind was completely confused, and he didn't know how he got back to his room. After lying down, he stared at the ceiling in a daze, this time he had insomnia again, obviously not thinking about anything, but he was not sleepy at all. In the early morning, he finally started to nap for a while, but he didn't sleep for a few minutes when he was woken up by the alarm clock in the morning. He felt that his head was heavy, as if he had pressed a jack, turned off the alarm clock and began to fall asleep again.
"Qinghe, I'm going to be late, why are you still sleeping here?" Qinghe, who is usually used to getting up early, is sleeping lazily today, and Qianqiu is a little confused, but the reason why he is still asleep is probably affected by his own last night.
"Eh, what time is it?" Qinghe opened his eyes in a daze, and the hand holding the quilt still didn't let go. He was so tired that the only thing he wanted to do was to sleep with a pillow in his hands.
"It's more than seven o'clock, you get up quickly, if you encounter the rush hour at work, it's easy to be late...... "Fortunately, Qianqiu made breakfast in advance, as long as Qinghe gets up immediately now, and eats a few bites of breakfast after washing, he should be able to barely catch up."
"Hah......" Qinghe yawned, nodded and said, "Got it, I'll get up now......"
"I can't sleep anymore......" Chiaki saw that he woke up and quickly left the room, and then urged the two little ones to have breakfast quickly, otherwise it might be too late to go to school.
Qinghe's speed is very fast, and he cleaned himself up in less than ten minutes, because he also had to send the little ones out, he stuffed a bun into his mouth and was about to go out, and he didn't even have time to drink milk, but fortunately, Qianqiu had already expected it, and prepared one for him in advance, so that he could eat it after he arrived at the company.
"Oops, oops, Qinghe's hand doesn't seem to hurt much after I rubbed it for me last night......" Qianqiu waved his arm, obviously it was a little difficult to even lift it up last night, and now it's almost the same as usual. She was so happy that she thought that she was free again, and planned to knead some dough to practice.
This time, she didn't knead much, only mixed half a catty of flour, frustrated some small round balls as filling, and some rolled them into skins, repeating back and forth, just like children playing with plasticine. Because she used to lie down before, sitting for too long seemed a little troublesome to her, so every few minutes, she would get up and walk around.
"Oops, it's finally a little decent......" After learning many times from the videos on the Internet, she finally mastered the skills of making buns, and the next few are quite presentable. Looking at the few finished products on the table, she finally nodded contentedly.
"Qianqiu, are you at home?" Just as she was proud, a strange and familiar voice came from outside the house.
"Who?" she panicked as she carefully discerned the voice, and the last person she wanted to see had come uninvited.
When Qianqiu went out of the kitchen, he found Zhao Hua standing at the door of the grocery store, he looked at everything in the store with nostalgic eyes, "It's really the same here......
"Why are you here?" Chiaki looked at him, her eyes cold.
"I'm not worried about you, that's why I'm coming back to take a look...... I heard that you are sick?" Zhao Hua did not regard himself as an outsider, he casually found a stool and sat down, posing like a father.
"I just heard about it now?" Chiaki smiled, but that smile seemed to be sarcastic about something.
"It's not like that, I've heard acquaintances talk about it before, because I've been putting things off, and now I finally have time to go home and have a look. ”
"Oh, that's it!" Chiaki nodded, "I don't need your concern, it's more practical to give some money." You took Wan Yu to exchange money before, and I borrowed a loan shark to redeem him, don't you know about it. Loan sharks, you also know, the interest will soon become a big snowball, and now you owe more and more money, I think you are living a good life, it is better to return that money!"
"That money, I lost playing mahjong, even if you take it from me now, I don't have it. Zhao Hua shook his head, then took out his wallet from his pocket, counted ten sheets, and drew two more back, "My life is not very easy now, let's use this money to buy some nutritional products." ”
"Then I should really thank you!" Zhao Qianqiu unceremoniously accepted the eight hundred yuan, and quickly changed his face, "Okay, I'll take the money too, you can go now......"
"Bastard, I'm your father, pay attention to your attitude......" Seeing Zhao Qianqiu's expression now, Zhao Hua was really angry, if it wasn't for this girl who called the police and said that they were trafficking children, he wouldn't have a home and couldn't go back.
"Yes, now I know that you are a father, and this is not the case when you took all the money away. Zhao Qianqiu's expression now is even more exaggerated than just now, "Now our family is doing well, we don't need you to bother, so don't come in the future." ”
"Do you know why you got cancer, it's because your heart is too bad, so you have to be dam......ned," Zhao Hua said evilly, "Besides, the house you live in now is still in my name, and it will be a matter of minutes when I am unhappy to sell it, so you'd better get to know me." ”
"Roar, I'm damned, yes, my heart is too bad, I'm being damned! You don't want to think about who gave it all to, you can take it back if such a broken house is so rare, it's a big deal I'll take Wanli Wanyu to sleep on the street, but the premise is that you can sell it here......" Zhao Qianqiu had imagined the picture when he met his father very early, but he never thought that this person could say such vicious words to his own daughter, it was really a big world, and there was no wonder.
"Don't think I don't know that you are being raised by that stinky boy now, let me tell you the truth, he is not a serious child, he is the son of a murderer, you have to be careful, you don't know when you will die!" Zhao Hua didn't want to stay here for a long time, and left angrily after saying this, leaving Qianqiu alone in a mess.
She was suddenly a little sad, she couldn't listen to the bad words of others, and just as she was about to run out to scold, she found that the grandmother who led the family was standing at the door.
