15. Xiao Yue's letter
After Ye Ning took the text, he didn't look at it immediately.
This letter, Ye Ning already had a hunch, it would be like a bottle salvaged from the bottom of the sea, after letting go, maybe there was a devil inside, and it couldn't be controlled.
In the afternoon, there was an important meeting to be held, in which she tried to focus as much as possible and showed everyone the project plan she had made.
At the end of the meeting, her friend, the owner of this fund company, named Sheng Changsheng, raised his eyebrows and asked her with a smile: "What, something?" ”
She shook her head and smiled, "No." ”
Sheng Changsheng didn't believe it, but he didn't ask, just comforted: "If you're busy, get off work early, don't be too tired." ”
Ye Ning nodded and continued to work, and at six o'clock in the afternoon, she hurriedly drove to pick up the baby from kindergarten. In the kindergarten, I met Tongtong's mother and Chenchen's mother again, and everyone was discussing elementary school.
Tongtong's mother said enviously: "Tuan Tuanjia's primary school has been decided, and it is really a small one." ”
As soon as she said this, Chenchen's mother looked a little listless: "People are Tuan Tuan's grandmother's house is there, and this talent is on, and we ordinary people don't have a show." ”
Tongtong's mother sighed: "Yes, in fact, if we can go, it would be very good, the distance is quite close to us, the teaching quality is good, and the environment inside is good." ”
Chenchen's mother shook her head: "Come on, the parents who can go to that school are either rich or expensive, don't count on ordinary people." ”
The two of them were talking, and it happened that Ye Ning came over, and Tongtong's mother hurriedly greeted Ye Ning.
Chenchen's mother looked at Ye Ning inquiringly and asked, "I heard from a neighbor, are you going to buy a house?" What's going on? ”
Ye Ning smiled: "It's nothing, I just plan to move." ”
Tongtong's mother said with concern: "Forget it, the children in this area are all familiar with each other, how good it would be to go to elementary school together." ”
Chenchen's mother was thoughtful: "I heard that your café has also been sold out, and Sister Chen at home is no longer doing it, and she is going to buy a house again, is there something wrong?" ”
Ye Ning raised his hand and brushed his hair, and downplayed this matter: "The café business is not very good, and I am actually not good at running this, so I will simply sell it out." I have now found a job and can support my family. ”
Tongtong's mother looked at Ye Ning sympathetically: "It's not easy for you to be alone, what kind of job are you looking for now?" ”
Ye Ning said casually: "A small fund company, opened by a friend, can also do it casually." ”
When Tongtong's mother heard this, she was a little envious: "Wow, fund companies, don't you say that the financial industry is quite profitable?" ”
Chenchen's mother shook her head, and said disagreeingly: "Then you have to be a big company, a monopoly company, a state-owned enterprise, that's how to make money, an investment bank, or something, a small fund company is too busy, tired to death, and it doesn't necessarily make a few dollars, especially Nan Nan's mother is alone with the child, which is not suitable at all." ”
Saying this, it happened that the children came out, and these children all signed up for that training class, which was a painting class.
Tongtong's mother just listened to Chenchen's mother's words, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly greeted the child, so no one mentioned it.
Ye Ning, on the way home, talked to Nan Nan and asked what he painted today.
Nan Nan drooped her head, and she didn't look energetic.
Ye Ning looked at the baby like this, and felt a little distressed: "What happened?" ”
Nan Nan smiled hard, pretending that nothing was wrong: "It's just that today the teacher asked me to draw my parents and me, but I don't know what my father looks like." ”
Ye Ning's heart suddenly felt as if someone had been hit hard with a file.
In the past, the baby was small, and she didn't seem to pay much attention to it, and she also tried to instill in the child the idea that it was normal for the father to be absent, but now she suddenly understood that for a child, maybe he needs a father.
Ye Ning remembered the letter again.
When I got home, I waited for Nan Nan to eat first, let him go to the side to paint, and wash clothes or something, I was busy for a long time, and I saw that Nan Nan should also sleep, so he washed and slew, and then he had time, came to the bedroom, closed the door, and opened the letter.
Ye Ning, I'm Xiao Yue.
I'm in the intensive care unit, and I'm trying to get a pen to write you this letter, which can be regarded as a final explanation. The room was very quiet, except for the occasional sound of fluid running from the infusion bottles. I'm very sick now, maybe it's because I'm going to die, and I've been dreaming a lot lately, dreaming about myself when I was younger.
I want to try my best to record everything in the past, and talk about my state of mind back then, maybe you can understand a little bit.
You already know who I am, the son you call Uncle Shaw. That scene was the first time I saw you.
For many years to come, I couldn't forgive myself when I recalled this scene. He was so stupid at that time that he didn't know what he could do for you at this time, and he didn't even know to block out the eyes of others to reduce your humiliation.
Later, I often unconsciously passed by your little alley on the way out of school, and I didn't know what I expected to encounter. Each time he would stop there and wait silently for a while, but he never waited for anything.
Every time I pass through that little alley, I always have a coat on my body, even though it's still hot this summer.
During that time I would dream at night and dream of you. You're curled up next to me, just like the kitten I had when I was a kid, shaking all over. In my dreams, I stretched out my hand countless times, took off my coat, and draped it over your body to cover your shyness. But every time, I would wake up when I was bent over.
I think that, from that time on, I was in the magic barrier.
During that time, my father and mother had been arguing, and the quarrel was turned upside down, my father complained that my mother had been playing mahjong, my mother complained that my father was looking for a woman outside, and my father felt that he was wronged. As for me, I just pass by that little alley every day.
Until one day, I finally mustered up the courage to approach the small alley and stop at the gate of the courtyard. The old wooden gate of the courtyard was hidden, and a bolt was tied with a hard wire on it, and it looked like no one had been in or out for a long time.
The five or six-year-old girl from the neighbor's house next to me was playing shuttlecock kicking there, and when I asked, the little girl said: Don't you know, there is an accident in this family, and there is no one.
That's when I learned that your mother had died, and that you had been taken away by your uncle's family. This small courtyard is rented, and it has nothing to do with you anymore.
I can't describe how I felt that day, I could have ridden my bike, but I pushed the bike back step by step. When I walked home, I was lying on the bed with my head bored.
For the next few days, I was drowsy, but I couldn't sleep. As soon as I close my eyes, I can see you. You open your frightened and humiliated eyes, revealing your shy and small underwear, curled up there and shaking all the time.
The next day, my dad came back drunk, and he came over and quarreled with my mom more than ever. After the quarrel, he cried with red eyes.
He said that in fact, he really didn't do anything, he just thought that it was not easy for your mother to take a child, and it was not easy to repay debts alone, he just wanted to help. Later, my mother took someone to make trouble, and he was also cowardly, thinking about this incident and making trouble.
But I didn't expect your mother to be a strong person, so she was gone. He wept bitterly, and there he wept vigorously.
After that cry, the next day, he divorced my mom and gave my mom a 60% stake in the paper mill. He said that if he didn't do that, he wouldn't survive, that he had killed people. He said that as soon as he opened his eyes, his eyes were red, and that your mother would ask for his life.
When this qiē farce was over, I lived with my mother.
I used to play games every day, but at that time I didn't want to, I wanted to study hard, and I was admitted to Songshan Middle School, I thought, when I get to Songshan Middle School, maybe I can get out of the magic barrier.
I can get rid of that coat that never leaves my hand, and I can go to sleep peacefully.
I was admitted to Songshan Middle School, but I am not in the same class as you. You are in class A, and the students with the best grades can enter that class, and I am only in class C, and I am separated from you by a distance from class B.
I'm actually a little disappointed, but I'm a little lucky. Actually, at that time, I was really afraid that you would recognize me.
But then I quickly realized that I was overthinking myself.
Your seat is in the window seat, which is open in the summer. I've deliberately passed by that place countless times, past your window, but you've always kept your head down, or buried yourself in reading, or holding a pen and acting arithmetic.
You've never looked up at me.
One day, a group of male classmates were playing and joking in the corridor, pushing and joking, and then the joke went a little too far, and everyone's tone was not good, and the atmosphere was a little stiff at that time. Many people looked over and looked at a few male classmates who were about to get out.
You seem to have sensed something unusual at the time, and you look up.
Your gaze swept over my face with a slight blankness, without the slightest pause. After sweeping it, he frowned slightly and continued to stop and work on the math problem.
Obviously, for you, it's just that a couple of boys outside the window are interrupting your studies. You don't care who the boys out there really are, or what they're talking about.
Of course, what I didn't know was that when your gaze swept over my face, my face suddenly turned red.
That night, several people in the boys' dormitory got together to chat and talk about today's events. I don't know why someone mentioned you. My roommate said that someone deliberately walked over from that place every day, and when they walked over, their footsteps were deliberately heavy, in fact, just to attract Ye Ning's attention.
I thought my secret had been revealed, and I was on fire.
