Qin's father and Qin's mother played with the children for a while, and when they saw that the time was not too early, Qin's father went out first, Qin's mother helped her daughter feed the children, watched them fall asleep, and did not rush to leave, but crowded on the side of the bed, chatting with her daughter without a match. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, there are not many opportunities for this kind of conversation between mothers, so it is a good conversation.
It didn't take long for Qin Yafu's mobile phone on the bedside to buzz twice.
Qin's mother immediately guessed what was going on, saw her daughter take her mobile phone, got up and got off the ground with a smile, and said casually: "You guys have a good chat, and make up for what you didn't say last night." ”
"Mom, how can you learn......" Qin Yafu scratched her head, she was really a little embarrassed, pursed her mouth, smiled wryly and waved her hand, I really don't know what to say, Lin Zihang, this wrongdoer, is so tired that even his mother makes jokes about herself.
"Hehe, it's a good thing that you have a good relationship after all, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Qin's mother smiled disappreciatively, and then, her eyes became more and more loving, and she said in a gentle tone, "Good boy, you don't make noise, just be safe, nothing else matters!"
"I know, Mom, don't worry. Qin Yafu responded gently, thinking about how much heart she had made her mother over the years, she really felt sorry for her.
After her mother left, Qin Yafu clicked on the lock of her mobile phone, only to find that she and her mother had guessed wrong, and the text message was sent by Xue Jingjing.
Qin Yafu heard her mother-in-law say that Xue Jingjing recently took annual leave and lived in her mother's house, and she also knew that Qin Yafu was now at her mother's house, saying that she was going back to the provincial capital recently, and asked if she needed to take the three of them with her.
Xue Jingjing and Mo Han's economic conditions are not too good, nor are they very bad, when she got married, the third aunt felt sorry for her daughter and married a Bora car.
Although the car is not too expensive, it is better than being durable, Mo Han, as a man, is reluctant to use the car that his mother-in-law accompanies his wife to, so most of the time, it is Xue Jingjing who drives by herself.
This time, Xue Jingjing drove back to her parents' house, and she was worried that the children would go to bed early and disturb them, so she specially sent a text message to Qin Yafu.
Qin Yafu and Lin Zihang were arguing with Lin Zihang before because they didn't want him to work hard to pick her up, but now that she heard that Xue Jingjing was leaving, it was naturally the most convenient to bring their mother and son, so she asked her when she would leave.
Xue Jingjing said: "Didn't you just arrive at your mother's house? I have something to do here, I will have to leave a few days later, can you wait?"
"Okay, Zihang is not at home now, we are not in a hurry to leave. Qin Yafu replied.
"Sister Yafu, I have been staying in the provincial capital since I went to college, rarely going home, and I don't feel anything, but when I see my mother again after getting married, why is my mood different all of a sudden?"
Just when Qin Yafu thought there was nothing to say, Xue Jingjing sent another text message.
"Suddenly, I found that I had been taking my mother's hard work for granted, so much so that I ignored the gray hair that quietly grew on her head and the crow's feet that slowly crept up the corners of her eyes, right?"
Qin Yafu was also deeply touched, so she replied very affectionately.
"Yes, that's what it feels like!" Xue Jingjing replied quickly, deeply happy to find a soulmate, and then said, "Since I was a child, my mother's show-off temperament disgusted me, but because of her special identity, I learned to encounter unhappy things and not show them, so I lived a very tired life, and I always had an instinctive rejection of her. ”
"It wasn't until later, when I grew up and experienced so many rights and wrongs, that I gradually understood her strong and helpless feelings, and then I got married, and it took a long time for the dust to settle. ”
"Frankly, when I got married, I used to feel relieved, thinking that I could finally get away from her. ”
"But who knows, when I went home during the Chinese New Year, I saw that the faces of their husband and wife seemed to be much older, obviously I didn't go far, but my mother's eyes looked at me with so much reluctance, I walked away, she actually had red eyes, but she refused to say it, turned around and secretly wiped away her tears. ”
"Do you know what it's like? I'd rather she scold me loudly or cry and say, 'Don't go,' and she pretended to be fine, and waved goodbye to us with a smile, alas!"
"I sat in the car that day and cried all the way, if it wasn't for the company's busyness, I really couldn't continue to ask for leave, I said that I wanted to go back and accompany her again!"
Xue Jingjing sent so many messages in one breath, telling her feelings, which made Qin Yafu's heart sour, she was already sad for her parents' reluctance to give up on her, and seeing that Xue Jingjing also felt the same way, she couldn't help but sigh and replied:
"'The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to be filial and does not wait', fortunately, it is not too late for us to understand this truth, and the parents are still alive, and it is too late to cherish it. ”
"Yes, that's what I think, so I try to go home every day off to be with them, you know, my mother has a strong temperament and loves to be picky, she always says that she is not used to going to my house, and I don't worry about them in the car, so I just come back to see them.
I took a week's annual leave this time, and it's only been three days, plus some other things, and I have to leave in about four days, just to say hello to you first, so I don't have to go by myself. Xue Jingjing explained the reason for leaving late.
"Okay, let me tell Zihang that if he comes back from Beijing early, maybe he will come to pick us up directly, but whether he comes or not, I will tell you that as you said, I will also try to stay at my mother's house for a few more days. ”
Qin Yafu's mood was a little dull, she also wanted to be like Xue Jingjing, to accompany her parents more, but unfortunately, she took two children, how easy is it to come and go?
Therefore, since he is here, he will try to discuss with Lin Zihang tomorrow, and allow himself to stay for a few more days, even if Xue Jingjing has something to do, he can go back first, and let him take the time to pick him up.
After sending a text message to Xue Jingjing, Qin Yafu looked at the sleeping children, thinking that she would grow old one day, and she would also experience the sadness that her parents were worried about facing their adult and married children, but they didn't dare to say it, right?
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, family affection has been the most difficult to give up since ancient times!
Qin Yafu glanced at the time on her phone, it was more than nine o'clock, not too late, but it was time to rest, probably because she thought too much about it, so she couldn't sleep.
It stands to reason that Qin Yafu can contact Lin Zihang, and it's not bad to chat, but thinking that he is out of the house, if there is a social, it is disturbing to contact him by himself; if there is no entertainment, since he is not looking for himself, maybe he is tired and sleepy, wouldn't it be better if he could fall asleep by himself?
Thinking so, Qin Yafu put down her phone and got out of bed.
After walking around the room, Qin Yafu suddenly remembered that there was a wooden box under the bed she was sleeping in.
The box contains poetry collections, magazines, newspapers, novels that Qin Yafu, her brother and sister all liked when they were young.
In the past, Qin's mother kept the wooden box because her children liked it.
Later, when they grew up, they almost forgot those things, but when they were both at home once, they were turned out by their sister.
According to Qin Yayan's meaning, take a good look at it, take away the books you like, and sell the rest, or throw it away, otherwise it will always take up a place and get in the way.
But Qin's mother didn't agree very much, and only said that if they had something they particularly liked, they could take it, and let the rest go first.
At that time, the loneliness in Qin's mother's eyes made Qin Yafu realize that her mother should have taken this box of things as a thought.
It seems to be just a box of ordinary books, but because the words on it have been read by the children many times, as if they have a life, so that parents who didn't like to read before will occasionally take it out and flip through it, because of this idea, Qin Yafu didn't let her sister touch the box of things.
There was nothing to do tonight, Qin Yafu looked at the sleeping children, tucked the corners of the quilt for them again, got out of bed again, and gently dragged out the bookcase from under the bed.
The box was covered with a plastic sheet to protect against dust, but in fact, the dust on it was not thick, and it seems that parents should wipe it down frequently.
This once again reflects the silent longing of parents for their children, which makes Qin Yafu's heart more and more sad, thinking that since she is pregnant, she has gone home less often, I don't know how much her parents are concerned.
Gently lifted the lid of the box, the books inside were a few years old, slightly yellowed, but well preserved, the writing was flat, and the footers had creases, which were also spread out one by one and flattened.
The box is not big, two stacks of sixteen books are placed side by side, and there is still half of the space left, and a smaller box is put into it, which is full of dictionaries, dictionaries, and some villain books or something.
Qin Yafu took out the small box and put it aside, and casually took out a copy from the sixteen-open book and looked at it, it was a literary magazine that her sister especially liked to read when she was in school.
She remembered that her sister had participated in a literary contest held by that magazine, and she didn't remember how many prizes she won, but the magazine respected newcomers very much, and although the prizes were not much, she still sent them over, which was Lu Yao's essay on the creation of "Ordinary World" - "Morning Starts at Noon".
Qin Yafu also forgot the specific content, but the encouragement that the book gave to her sister was not small, for a long time, she was immersed in "literary creation" and couldn't help herself, every day when she was fine, in addition to writing, she carefully took out the book and flipped through it, as if she had a great love for the things inside.
It's just that with the passage of time, Qin Yayan's academic performance was not satisfactory, and she failed to be admitted to university, so she joined the work, and after entering the society, the busyness and hard work in reality gradually faded her former "literary dream", and this kind of book was naturally shelved.
