Chapter 133: A Shy Request
As usual, I stopped before 12 o'clock at noon and went to Zhou Wanrong's room to meditate and recuperate. This time, Cong Ye suddenly noticed that something seemed to be missing in Zhou Wanrong's room. After looking at it carefully for a while, I realized that Zhou Wanrong's room not only had no stickers, but also no clothes racks, wardrobes or anything. Thinking about the situation outside, it seems that only Zhou Wanrong's mother's room has a wardrobe. Cong Ye didn't believe that Zhou Wanrong would put the change of clothes in her parents' room.
With this thought in his heart, Cong Ye couldn't help but lift the neatly folded quilt on the head of the bed to take a look, and saw a suit of clothes pressed underneath, which looked like it should be a school uniform. Cong Ye immediately remembered that Zhou Wanrong seemed to be wearing the same clothes when she saw her these times.
It's no wonder that there is such a patient in the family, relying on her father to support the family alone, and Zhou Wanrong still has to go to school and study, which must be very poor. If Zhou Wanrong's father is outside, and there are other things, then it will be even more difficult for their mother and daughter. Cong Ye immediately planned to stay tonight to see if Zhou Wanrong's father would come back.
Because the meridians in Guo Yilian's body had already been dredged yesterday, and the heat flow consumed today was not as much as yesterday, so in less than two hours, the congregated leaves recovered. opened the door and walked out, and saw Zhou Wanrong sitting with a middle-aged man in the living room. When they saw the leaves come out, they both stood up.
"Brother Cong Ye, let's eat. By the way, Brother Cong Ye, this is my father. ”
"Hello Uncle Zhou."
"Hehe, thank you, Doctor Cong. Let's eat. ”
Cong Ye didn't expect that he wanted to stay and come to the evening to see if Zhou Wanrong's father would come back, but he came back at noon.
The three of them came to the table together and sat down. However, it was just Cong Ye and Zhou Wanrong eating, but Zhou Wanrong's father did not move chopsticks around her.
"Why doesn't Uncle Zhou eat it?"
"I ate out at noon, and you're done."
Cong Ye also secretly looked around Zhou Wanrong's father, the character is good-looking, about 1.75 meters tall, moderately fat and thin, wearing a pair of myopic glasses, and polite. The skin is fair, and it doesn't look like it's a hard job. Zhou Wanrong's eyebrows and eyes are seven or eight points like her father. I feel that the relationship between Zhou Wanrong and her father is faint, and there is very little dialogue between father and daughter.
After eating, after drinking a few sips of tea brought by Zhou Wanrong, Cong Ye continued to dredge Guo Yilian's meridians.
When the cong leaves were dredged and came to the living room, Zhou Wanrong's father was gone. It seems that Zhou Wanrong doesn't want to mention it, so Cong Ye naturally won't take the initiative to ask anything anymore. However, I already knew in my heart that Zhou Wanrong's father must have someone outside, and it should have been a long time since he had spent the night at home.
As usual, Zhou Wanrong sent Cong Ye downstairs, and when she came to the door of the community, she saw that Zhou Wanrong had to pay for it again. Cong Ye looked at her and smiled and said:
"Xiao Rong, I'm fine tonight, let's go to dinner together?"
Cong Ye saw that Zhou Wanrong's face first showed a hint of joy, and then lowered his head again, and said very embarrassedly:
"Brother Cong Ye, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it tonight, I haven't finished my homework yet."
"Xiao Rong, let's go, I know you didn't bring any money, I'll invite you tonight, and I'll bring some back to my aunt."
was broken by Cong Ye's words, Zhou Wanrong did not show a very embarrassed expression, but smiled slightly embarrassedly, and said to Cong Ye:
"I'll go back and tell my mother, and I'll come down immediately."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Dinner was served in a small restaurant. didn't order many dishes, because he had just consumed a lot of heat, Cong Ye specially asked for a bottle of liquor with more than fifty degrees, and asked Zhou Wanrong for a drink.
Seeing Cong Ye gulping down wine, Zhou Wanrong looked at him in surprise from time to time.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'll drink some wine to help my body recover."
"That's right. Why didn't Brother Cong Ye say it earlier, otherwise wouldn't it be good to drink some at noon? ”
"At that time, it was inconvenient to drink, so I still don't drink some when I don't comb the meridians, and I won't delay."
"Brother Cong Ye, it looks like it won't take long for my mother to recover, right?"
"After all, after lying for more than three years, it won't be so fast. After that, I came over every other day afternoon, and it is estimated that it will be normal in about three months. ”
"Brother Cong Ye, they all say that they don't thank you for their great kindness, and I only now realize the meaning of this sentence."
Zhou Wanrong said, tears already flowing from the corners of her eyes. Cong Ye is most afraid of girls shedding tears, Yan Chengcheng is okay, after all, the relationship between the two is different. For example, the last time Zhi Xiaohui suddenly cried at the train station, it made Cong Ye at a loss for most of the day.
"Xiao Rong, don't say that. It also happens that I have such a specialty. Besides, I have nothing to do on weekends. ”
To be honest, Cong Ye is really not a comforting person.
"Brother Cong Ye, you may also see that there is someone outside Dad, and Mom had the idea of suicide some time ago. I had no choice but to look for you. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Wanrong directly lowered her head and leaned against the table. His shoulders jerked violently a few times, and he quickly raised his head, reached out and grabbed a napkin and quickly wiped the tears on his face.
"I'm sorry, Brother Cong Ye, I shouldn't have mentioned this."
"Xiao Rong must have suffered a lot in the past few years. But Xiao Rong rest assured, I will definitely cure my aunt's body, and I will slowly get better in the future. ”
"Well, I believe Brother Cong Ye."
Where can Zhou Wanrong wipe the tears from her eyes? Thinking about the time when her mother was sick, she was only thirteen years old, and she had supported herself for more than three years, and the difficulties can be imagined.
"Xiao Rong, I want to discuss something with you."
"Brother Cong Ye, say it."
"I know that life is very difficult for you and Auntie, but after lying down for more than three years, Auntie's body must be properly nourished if she wants to recover to the fullest. I don't know where your living expenses come from, I want to lend Xiao Rong some money for the time being, and then pay it back to me when Xiao Rong graduates from college in the future and can make money by participating in work, okay? ”
Zhou Wanrong said nothing, she didn't expect Cong Ye to say such a thing. Xu has rarely received care from others over the years, and after listening to Cong Ye's words full of concern, Zhou Wanrong no longer cares about the unstoppable tears in her eyes. With his head down, he seemed to be thinking about something. After about a minute or so, he raised his face full of tears, choked up and said to Cong Ye:
"Brother Cong Ye, in the past three years of my mother's illness, first, my mother's original unit still gave my mother living expenses, and then my aunt often came to help us, and when she had time, she would also come to take care of my mother for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to read. As you said, life with my mom is really hard. I can barely eat, but I can't afford to treat my mother. Dad, less than half a year after my mother was paralyzed, he didn't leave home, but he just taught me school tuition, book fees, and so on. ”
After a pause, Zhou Wanrong asked Cong Ye:
"Brother Cong Ye, I know that you are the best person in the world, but when will I be able to repay your money, no one can say, what if I can't pay it back then?"
"Hehe, Xiao Rong thinks too much. Even if you can't get it back then, it's nothing. I was an orphan and didn't have any burden. Now I am a soldier again, not only do I use my salary and allowance every month, but I don't have to spend money on food and clothing, and money is useless for me for the time being. Besides, it's not like I'm lending you a lot. ”
Cong Ye had already felt the constraints of Zhou Wanrong's family's life since the lunch yesterday afternoon, so he had the idea of helping her last night. When he left the retreat in the morning, he casually took the card that Bai Wei had returned to him again. At this time, he took it out, pulled up Zhou Wanrong's slender wrist on the other side, and gently put the card in her palm.
"There's not much money in it, you use it first, and then return it to me when Auntie's body is completely recovered."
Zhou Wanrong took the bank card and looked at it again and again, and the name written on it was written in pinyin, and she quickly recognized the word "Bai Wei".
"Brother Cong Ye, why is Sister Bai Wei's bank card?"
"Hehe, it was the consultation fee given by Xiaowei's family at that time, and I never used it."
Subsequently, Cong Ye asked the waiter to borrow a pen and paper, wrote down the password of the bank card and handed it to Zhou Wanrong.
"Brother Cong Ye, shall I write you an IOU?"
"What to write, it won't be to write a bank card borrowed from Congye, right?"
In a word, Zhou Wanrong, who had not dried her tears, pursed the corners of her mouth tightly and almost laughed.
"Okay, the food is almost over, let's order a dish for my aunt to take home."
After the two of them finished dinner, after coming out of the restaurant, it was already more than eight o'clock, because they were very close to Zhou Wanrong's house, so they did not take the car, but walked side by side.
"Brother Cong Ye, I will take the college entrance examination next year, if I don't meet you, my mother's illness will definitely not be cured, and then I will not have a chance to go to college."
Zhou Wanrong's words are also true, if she hadn't met Cong Ye, she would not have been able to leave her mother who was paralyzed in bed and go to college alone.
Soon came to the gate of the community, the two of them stood down at the same time, Cong Ye was just about to say goodbye to Zhou Wanrong, but saw Zhou Wanrong raise her head, look at Cong Ye's eyes, and asked in a tone that was both shy and full of pleading:
"Brother Cong Ye, can you hug me?"
Cong Ye was stunned for a moment, then opened his arms and hugged Zhou Wanrong into his arms. Cong Ye understood Zhou Wanrong's mood too well at this time. From the time when her mother was sick and her father no longer returned home, a teenage girl persevered for more than three years. should be the age of being spoiled in front of his parents, but he has to face the cruel reality, not only to take care of his bedridden mother, but also to study and take care of housework. The deep desire to be loved and cared for is not something that people who have not experienced it can understand.
"Xiao Rong, cry if you want to."
"Don't cry, I really like Brother Cong Ye's warm and firm embrace."
