Chapter 272: Two Lottery Tickets
In the hospital, Xiao Ai and I carried fruits to the floor where Qin Miao lived, and only her husband Qiao Ye accompanied her today. I heard that Qiao Ye has not left in the past few days, and he has been doing a lot of trivial things by Qin Miao's side, and these are things he would never do to Qin Miao, although it seems that it is a little too late now, but it is also a comfort for Qin Miao.
Qiao Ye saw that a friend had come, so he opened the curtains that had been covered tightly, and the slanting sun hanging in the west gently shook its afterglow into the room, and the very elegantly arranged decorations in the room made people not feel that this was a ward at all, but a very high-end hotel room, but the people standing here were in a heavy mood.
I put the fruit on the coffee table, and then took Xiao Ai's hand and came to Qin Miao's side, but she just looked at a fish tank not far away and lost her mind, I followed her gaze, a big fish in the fish tank was swimming lightly between the stones with a small red fish.
I know that Qin Miao is thinking about her child.
I walked a few steps and stood between her and the fish tank, and she finally looked at me, her eyes full of dissatisfaction, but she didn't speak, she lay down again, crying on her side.
Qiao Ye stood at the window, and a sudden evening breeze blew his hair and made him look very sad, but not long ago, he and Qin Miao, the happy couple, were noisy because they bought that Porsche 918, and they were not really noisy, it was like playing at home.
At this moment, a qiē is like the wind, blowing and leaving, leaving only a little taste of the night before it comes.
……
Xiao Ai stayed in the ward, Qiao Ye and I stood by the bay window at the end of the aisle, lit a cigarette one after another, I raised my hand and took a puff, and asked him, "What are your plans in the future?" ”
Qiao Ye put the cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't smoke it, he looked very messy, and after a long time, he took a sharp puff and replied: "When Qin Miao recovers and is discharged from the hospital, I will go back to work in the group." ”
I lamented in my heart, and I felt sorry for the choice I had made when I knew it was now. In fact, as long as he and Qin Miao made the right choice, it would not be the current situation.
Qiao Ye turned his back to his body, he leaned against the window railing, and when he was about to finish smoking a cigarette, he asked me in a low voice: "Jiang Qiao, have I really done something wrong over the years...... If you have to pay such a price to get back to enlightenment, isn't it too big? ”
I kept my posture and looked out into the farthest part of the city, where countless lights flickered, as if to illuminate the most secret places in the human heart. After I was silent for a while, I finally replied: "The saddest thing about you over the years is that you have fallen in love with Qin Miao in the habits of life, but you don't know it...... It wasn't until she was like this that you woke up, but everyone felt that it was too late, because the damage Qin Miao was suffering now was irreversible. ”
Qiao Ye lowered his head gloomily, he closed his eyes and sighed, and then put out the cigarette in his hand in the dirt of the flower pot next to him, he didn't speak again, and I didn't continue the topic, just silenced with him.
Although, my previous words were a little ugly, but I didn't mean to stimulate Qiao Ye, I just hoped that he would be sober. At this time, he must also be sober, because he not only has the burden of taking care of Qin Miao, but will also take over the responsibility of managing a group from Qin Miao's hands, and he is no longer qualified to live willfully as before.
A gust of wind blew away our affection, and I thought that Qiao Ye would not speak anymore, but he said in a low voice: "I have known Qin Miao no more, no less, and it has been almost 15 years. Before I got married, I hated that she always looked like she was on top of her, as if the whole world had to revolve around her. What's so great about her, isn't it that her father is an official, isn't it that she herself looks prettier than ordinary women, I once thought she lived for a sense of superiority...... Later, we got married, and I wanted to press her for everything, and I didn't want to get used to her and spoil her, but she didn't care about me about this, she would remember my birthday, give me birthday parties, and give me all kinds of birthday gifts. I always thought she was trying to please me, but in fact she just didn't want to break up the family......"
Qiao Ye's voice was already choked: "It's really sad to think of these now, but what's the use of being sad now?" …… Our children are gone! ”
After hearing Qiao Ye's words, I also turned my body and stood side by side with him, and after being sad for a while, I asked him, "Have your parents expressed their position about the child now?" ”
Qiao Ye nodded, and then replied: "Qin Miao doesn't even have the conditions for IVF now, their idea is to let me go abroad, find an international student with a relatively high level of suzhì to have a child, and then bring it back...... So in their eyes, this is still a thing that can be solved with money...... Actually, I can imagine that if it weren't for Qin Miao's father's high position and power, which made them jealous, they would definitely let me divorce Qin Miao...... Their world is so realistic! ”
"And what do you think of it yourself?"
Qiao Ye took another puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes and replied: "I'm not going anywhere, and I don't want to borrow anyone's belly to have a baby, I just want to stay in Nanjing to accompany her through the difficulties." ”
I looked at Qiao Ye, and for the first time I saw the transformation in this man, and disasters do promote a person's growth. But I don't understand, why does human growth not come naturally, but have to pay such a painful price?
I wiped the dust off the windowsill with my hands, then looked at Qiao Ye, and asked again, "Do you have a desire for children?" ”
"Of course there is, but what I'm most afraid of is that my child will become another Qiao Ye, so it's better not to!"
Qiao Ye's words reminded me again of Su Han, who had already left the country, if her child was finally brought back to Qiao's house, wouldn't it be another Qiao Ye in Qiao Ye's mouth? At this moment, I even feel that the Qiao family is not the best destination for this child, at least with Su Han, he can already do without worrying about food and clothing, why flow into the choppy sea of the Qiao family?
So, I swallowed the words back into my stomach.
……
Back in the ward, Qin Miao's bedside had a peeled apple, which was obviously cut by Xiao Ai for her, but she didn't eat it, and Xiao Ai could only sit in silence. When she saw me return, she got up from her stool, and I knew she was leaving......
I stood beside Qin Miao and tried to talk to her, but she kept her eyes closed as if she had lost her mind, and I didn't know if she was tired or wanted to escape the world in this way.
There was no point in staying any longer, and after I told Qiao Ye to take care of her, I took Xiao Ai out of the hospital, and we were greeted by the thousands of lights of the city and the vehicles coming and going and not knowing where to go.
Xiao Ai and I stood side by side, we saw a Nissan car parked on the side of the road, and then out of the family came out, it seemed that the grandmother was holding the little nephew, and the grandmother was more intimate than the grandmother, and the little couple looked at this scene and smiled, holding hands and leading the family to the restaurant across the road.
It wasn't until their figures were overwhelmed by the traffic that Xiao Ai and I glanced at each other, and I saw a thirst for life in her eyes.
Yes, I'm the same as her, I love family life like this. I think life should be like this, you don't need too much money, you can meet your daily life, and you just have some surplus. The most important thing is that the people who live together should be like a family in spirit. Therefore, I have never envied Qiao Ye's family's wealth, because I have never seen a little bit of homely warmth from his family.
I don't even understand, living in that house built of extreme luxury, will they really have a sense of happiness? Will it be in the middle of the night, looking forward to a family trip together, talking and laughing along the way, and taking care of each other?
Maybe not, because such a scene is far more difficult for Qiao Ye's family than earning 10 billion.
Looking up at the boundless starry sky, I think, we are all crazy to be small, otherwise why would there be such a big difference in values?
We're crazy! I don't understand the meaning of life, and I can't see through the mystery of death!
……
In the interweaving of lights, Xiao Ai suddenly took my hand, she led me to avoid the exhaust car, to a small roadside shop selling sports lottery, she asked for two at random, one she kept for herself, and one gave it to me.
"Jiang Qiao, if I win 5 million, I will give you half of it, and if you want to win, will I also give half of it?"
I looked down at the lottery ticket in my hand, and then replied indifferently: "The lightning struck me 10 times, and I won't win once, so put away your fantasies." ”
Xiao Ai didn't take the cold water I poured to heart, she sat on the steps at the door of the lottery shop, holding her chin with one hand, looking up the winning numbers in the past with her mobile phone, and then there were words in her mouth, and her fingers were moving, as if she wanted to pinch her fingers to calculate the winning numbers of this issue.
I sat down next to her, then put my arm around her shoulder, put my hand on her chin, and let her look at me, and then whispered to her: "If you win 5 million, I will give it all to you, so that you can buy beautiful bags, sexy lipstick......"
"I don't want it all, you can give me half of it, but I won't buy the ...... you said"
"Then why are you keeping all this money?"
"Of course, I bought a house first, and then I bought a station wagon, you were the driver, and I and my favorite guitar, and grandma, we traveled all over the country together, and grandma hadn't been far away?"
At this time, there seemed to be a warm current in my heart, as if I had felt something similar in some distant time. At that time, Jiang Jiyou was a driver who was the envy of many people, and Yang Jin, who liked to travel, also told him that he wanted him to buy a Poussin car and take our family out for a trip. At that time, although Yang Jin had already given birth to me, and I had already begun to remember, but she still had the feelings of a literary girl, she said: No matter how far the journey is, as long as there is a sunny place, the family will feel happy.
It's a pity that I was too young at that time to understand the meaning of Yang Jin's words, and Jiang Jiyou was a sensitive and inferior fool, so he didn't understand when he should have understood!
Under the urging of some kind of affection, I hugged Xiao Ai a little tighter, her delicate and fair skin was on my mouth, I felt her breath like a burst of fragrance, so the love was here, I wanted to kiss her.
At this moment, I like her one qiē. As I got closer to her, Xiao Ai seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around and hit the bridge of my nose hard, and I was dizzy, and then tears flowed straight down......
Xiao Ai was also stunned, she put the lottery ticket in her hand into her handbag, and hurriedly took out a tissue from it, and while wiping off the nosebleed for me, she asked me: "Jiang Qiao, have you been on fire recently?" ”
I covered my nose and replied in pain: "If I hadn't been on fire, I would have dared to treat you so boldly!" ”
Xiao Ai looked at me with a smile, then touched my nose again, and then hugged me sympathetically, but lying on her chest, I felt that I was on fire again, and the nosebleed couldn't stop!
But she didn't notice this, and was still tinkering with the lottery ticket she had just bought, as if she was the biggest winner in her life tonight
