Chapter 4 It's distressing to watch
Chapter 4 is distressing to watch
The town is exceptionally quiet at night. Even the sound of crickets in front of the house can be heard clearly.
The moonlight shines through the window. The hazy moonlight is very charming. Jiang Hao leaned on the pillow. Hands raised high pressure behind the head. It's so quiet around. He couldn't sleep.
Qiao Xinwei beside her slept very soundly. Babbled all night about what happened when she was a child. Now I sleep extra sweetly. He likes it. I really like it. I especially like such a simple and beautiful Qiao Xinwei. There's a magic in her. The longer we get along. The more he liked her.
He thought he would never have his heart on anyone again. Even if you are married. Just do your part. But. The mind is not as it pleases. He and Qiao Xinwei. Although it is a blind date flash marriage. But he can't be anyone, either. Married for most of the year. He had already fallen in love with her unconsciously.
Love for her. Not as fiery as his love for Xiao Tian when he was young. But this love. His lonely and wandering heart is willing to stay. Simple. Guileless. Warm. More profound.
He turned his head and stared at her quietly. Her quiet sleeping face is exceptionally well-behaved. The tip of the nose inhales and exhales an even breath. Just that restless foot. Because of the heat, he kicked open the quilt covering his body. He smiled lightly. Straightened up and pulled the quilt. Cover her again.
Suddenly there was a "squeak" outside. Jiang Hao has always been vigilant. The old houses here are too easy to burglar. He wasn't at ease.
Thereupon. He got up gently. Tiptoe to the door.
Open the door. I saw a figure sitting under a tree enjoying the shade. Holding an old yellowed fan in his hand. Fan it one by one.
"Grandma." Jiang Hao stepped forward softly. asked. Why don't you sleep outside at night? Is there something going on?"
Grandma shook her head. All right. It's too hot in the house to come out and enjoy the coolness. Woke you up."
"No. I didn't fall asleep either."
"I can't get used to sleeping."
"I can sleep anywhere. I usually go to bed late. I don't get on the bed until 12 o'clock. It's only past eleven o'clock. If this point is left in the capital. It's still early."
Grandma shifted and sat down on the end of the bench. Beckon him to sit." It's no better than in the city. It's noisy during the day. It's quiet at night."
Jiang Hao sat down. Grandma changed to a hand-cranked fan. He can also fan the wind. With the wind fanning from the night dew. It's exceptionally cool." Stayed in the city for a long time. Occasionally come here to stay. I still think it's good here."
"Stay a few more days and you'll feel like you're still in town. Hehe. Young people love to be lively. Otherwise, why would everyone here have to go out? Right?"
Jiang Hao smiled. Say: "Big cities have the advantages of big cities. Small towns have the advantages of small towns. You can't compare them together."
"Uncle. My girl. I'm sure I'm causing you a lot of trouble."
"Nope. To say troublesome. Or do I lick her more. I'm busy with work, and I often travel for more than half a month. She is taking care of the house inside and out. It's her who suffers."
Grandma had a relieved smile on her face. Lived this long age. She could see that Jiang Hao was really good to Xinwei." You can say that. I'm relieved. This girl's father went early. The mother soon remarried. She stayed with me for the whole summer that year. Didn't laugh once. Just ask her. And she said it was all right. Don't worry. Just endure it on your own. No matter how aggrieved I feel in my heart, I can endure it. It's distressing to watch."
"When did her father die. How did you die?" Jiang Hao asked about her father for the first time.
"About ten years." Grandma doesn't remember very well. Fingers crossed, estimating." Yo. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. He was only thirteen years old. Or birthdays. Waiting for her dad to come back and eat cake together. But her dad had a car accident. I didn't even see the last one."
Grandma's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke. The age of the wind erosion candle. I remembered the white-haired man sending the black-haired man. It's always very sad. And Jiang Hao. I also empathize. He still remembers the unrest on her birthday. At a young age, she had to endure the pain of losing a loved one. Her birthday. It's not just a mother's day. It's still a father's day.
"How did it end?"
Grandma sighed. There is no last. I don't know if the driver was caught or not."
"I don't know. There's no road surveillance?"
"There's no monitoring in a small place. Someone saw it right next to the store. Said to be a woman. Later the police said they had been caught. But a few days later, I said that I made a mistake and didn't catch it. And then it won't be over. Xinwei's mother also remarried. It's not easy for her to be a woman with a daughter. People have to be realistic. For the sake of the daughter. You can eat any bitterness."
Jiang Hao felt uncomfortable again when he heard it. I heard Xinwei talk about the Jing family. Not much. Only mentioned a little occasionally. She doesn't like to talk. He doesn't want to ask.
"The police are so confused. I can't figure out if I catch anyone or not."
"Some people say it's someone above the woman. Just say a word and press it down."
"Seriously."
"We are ordinary people. There's no way out. I can't ask about anything. That's just what I've heard. We can't prove it."
Jiang Hao deeply understood Qiao Xinwei and said, "The heart is higher than the sky. Life is thinner than paper" when the sentence is helpless and helpless. He swore secretly. He would never let her feel this helplessness again. Later. He wants to love her well.
"Uncle. What about you. Xinwei said that you are a soldier. What exactly is it for? Do you have to stay in the army?"
"The troops are in the capital. I can go home." He didn't want to say how good he was at being an official. In front of grandma. He's a junior. He's her grandson-in-law." Just ordinary soldiers. It's just that there are often tasks. A business trip is more than half a month. Run all over the country. I've been to all sorts of hard places. I've been to a lot of good places."
"Hmm. No wonder you're so well-informed. Man. Career is always the most important thing when you are young. But the ultimate goal of fighting for the cause is for the sake of the family and future generations. What do you say?"
"Yes. Grandma was right." Jiang Hao sighed in his heart. From an early age, his father instilled in him the idea of putting the country before the family. As everyone knows. In fact, many times he wanted to let go of his military mission. Fight for your little family. For the sake of your loved ones. For the sake of their children. And fight well.
Grandma slowly shaking the fan. It's a long life. That's it." All right. Go into the house and go to sleep. I went in and slept."
"Huh. Okay."
The night is getting deeper. The moon is brighter and more transparent. A faint mottled light and shadow under the osmanthus tree shines. Jiang Hao quietly walked into the house. Qiao Xinwei is still sleeping. It's just that the quilt was kicked away by her again. Restless imps. Jiang Hao looked at her and shook his head with a smile. Pick up the flower folding fan that I bought in the small town shop during the day from the table. Sitting on the edge of the bed fanning her.
Qiao Xinwei felt a cool breeze blowing. I opened my eyes in a daze." Hey. Why don't you sleep yet?"
"I'm fine. You sleep. I'll fan you."
"No need. Sleep fast, too. It's cold at night. You sleep with me in your arms."
"Hmm. Okay." Jiang Hao smiled slightly. I watched her eyes slowly close again. He knew she was asleep again.
The days at my grandmother's house were the most comfortable. During the day, I walked around the water town with my grandmother. Nagging with the neighbors. Swim in the night river at night. Shuttle through the alleys. The lights in every house are dimmed. And they returned. Time flies exceptionally. A week passed quickly. Qiao Xinwei was reluctant to leave. But no matter how reluctant I am, I have to go. She and Jiang Hao have to go to work.
On the way back. Qiao Xinwei hugged a bag of moldy dried vegetables pickled by her grandmother and wept silently. I don't know, I thought she was holding some rare treasure. That's rare. Even the taxi driver looked in the rearview mirror several times.
Jiang Hao was quite speechless. Putting his arm around her shoulders and saying, "As for no. Don't cry. I can't bear grandma, we can come often in the future. Now the transportation is convenient. One round trip on the weekend."
Qiao Xinwei also felt that she was exaggerating. But the love xรน to this point. I can't stop if I want to." Grandma is so old. Alone in the hometown. Wouldn't it be ...... if something unexpected happened?"
"You're cursing Grandma."
"It's not. I'm just worried. Her eyes are not easy to use. The legs and feet are also not good. The back is getting more and more bent. Wait for the old house to open. She certainly couldn't have it as easy as she did now."
"But she's happy. She's happier than a lot of people out there. Don't you think?"
Qiao Xinwei turned his head to look at Jiang Hao. He sniffed and said, "Hmm."
"Alright, alright. Don't cry. Grandma doesn't want you to cry. We can come back more often in the future."
"Okay."
End of vacation. Get to work. And Xiao Tianai finally welcomed the first operation.
"Ah Hao. You must wait for me outside. Okay?" Before entering the operating room. Xiao Tianai held Jiang Hao's hand tightly and didn't let go. This surgery requires general anesthesia. When it comes to the spine. The risk factor is very high. If there is a mistake, it may be goodbye to heaven and man. To say not to be afraid is a lie.
Jiang Hao patted the back of her hand. Guaranteed." Feel relieved. I'll be here waiting for you to come out. Rest assured."
Let go of your hands. Xiao Tianai was pushed in. Jiang Hao looked at the door of the operating room. Silently praying.
Yuanda Group Planning Office
Qiao Xinwei rested for so long. Back to work on the first day. Everyone is very welcome. Also cares about her.
Ma Qihang is the best at slapping sycophants." Xinwei. We thought you wouldn't come to work. It's great that you're back."
Xiao Mi is still shaking that big romantic scroll." yes, yes. The days when you are away. I took your job. Wear many hats. and do not give a salary increase. You're going to have to invite me to dinner."
Qiao Xinwei made an "OK" gesture. No questions asked. But wait for the salary. Haha."
"Mr. Ruan is here. Mr. Nguyen is good."
Everyone looked towards the door. I saw Ruan Bin walking towards them in high spirits. I haven't seen you for many days. He regained his former competence and composure. Ruan Bin pointed at Qiao Xinwei. I'm back. Come to my office."
"Oh. Okay." It's better to go to work. She loves life to the fullest. That leaves no time to think about messy things she can't change.
