Chapter 170: Autumn Death
The latest photos are about stormy people, plane trees swaying in the wind, people running wildly in the streets, leaving a vague impression on the photos......
This outgoing summer has been unusually stormy. Wang Xixi's mind has accumulated too many memories of the rainstorm, about the exam, about Li Jing, about their passing years.
When autumn came completely, Li Jing went to the man's house again.
She thought she still couldn't accept from her heart that her father had that kind of relationship with her teacher, so she stubbornly stopped calling him daddy.
Even if the sanitation workers get up early in the morning every day to clean, it will not take half a day for the yellow leaves to still fall with a thick layer.
Li Jing stepped on these still resilient leaves, thinking about the various situations that might happen when they met later. She made up her mind that this time she must ask about her biological mother.
After the doorbell rang, it was still Li Hong who opened the door.
They lived together so openly, Li Jing felt disgusted. She struggled to restrain her overflowing emotions and to be calm.
Li Hong took a pair of slippers for her to change, but Li Jing glanced at them and didn't change them. Li Hong's face was slightly embarrassed.
"What about him?" She almost blurted out "my dad", and habit is such a terrible thing.
Li Hong's eyes drooped, "There are some things in the unit, so he went to deal with things, he has been out for a long time, and he should be back soon." ”
Li Jing didn't speak, and sat straight on the sofa.
Compared to the last time she came, the house was more like a home, neatly tidied up.
"What to drink? I'll get it for you. Li Hong greeted her like a hostess, but she didn't dare to look at Li Jing with some fear.
"Just drink water." In fact, Li Jing's heart is also struggling, she doesn't know what to call the woman opposite, teacher, or aunt?
When Li Hong poured water, there was a clicking sound outside the door, and then Li Jing saw the familiar figure.
"Ah, Jing'er is here." This familiar sentence suddenly pulled Li Jing to the previous time, and their broken family was not only quarrelsome, but also warm a long time ago.
Li Jing's heart throbbed slightly, "Hmm." ”
"What's the matter, is there no money, wait, I'll get it for you."
"You think that's right for me, I must have come for money, right?!" The man's words were interrupted by Li Jing before he could finish speaking, and the small flame that had just ignited in his heart was extinguished when he heard the word "money". Even, some of them are so popular that they know about money all day long, and Li Jing scoffs at them.
The man looked at her in silence. A look of guilt flashed on his face.
He sat down across from her, "So, Jing'er is coming today?" ”
"It's for my mother's business." Li Jing picked up the boiling water that Li Hong had just brought over, took a sip, and hurriedly put it down when it was hot, "The matter of my biological mother." ”
The expression on the man's face became even heavier.
"Can you tell me more about her?" Li Jing looked at him and said what she was thinking.
The man raised his head and looked at Li Hong, who was standing next to him: "You go out of Lu first to buy some food, and let Jing'er eat here in the evening." ”
Li Hong nodded knowingly, "Okay." ”
After Li Hong left, the man lit a cigarette, and beautiful smoke rings came out of his mouth and nose. Li Jing remembers that when she was very young, she always asked him to spit out smoke rings of various shapes, and then crawled to his side to catch the cyan smoke that she couldn't catch at all. He always looked at himself with a gentle smile and said, Jing'er, those can't be caught.
"Your mother, she's not from this city, she's from a small village." He flicked the cigarette ash in his hand, "She used up all the courage in her life when she was pregnant with you. ”
"You know, in a small village, a high school student, unmarried and pregnant, will be poked in the backbone and say bad things everywhere as soon as he goes out."
"I think it may be because of the love for me and the love for you that she can support her to come down."
The man's eyes were a little moist, "Actually, I didn't tell her that I was going to marry her after graduating from college." If only she could hold on for a few more years. Everything will be fine. ”
The cigarette trembled with his fingers, and the man simply pressed the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray.
He picked up the glass of water in front of Li Jing and swallowed hard.
Dad loves Mom, right? Li Jing's eyes were also a little moist.
"After that, I sank for a while, and I felt that I would never meet my true love again." The man's words came into his ears repeatedly, "Every day I go to drink, I meet many, many girls, I fall in love with them, but I rarely fall in love with others." ”
So that's the real reason for his fall.
"Do you know the truth? You look a lot like your mom. The man stared at her face and said, "The same thin, the same need to be taken care of, the same need to be protected." When I went to hug you, your grandmother didn't allow it, I ran many times, endured many rolls of my eyes, and told them that I would definitely take care of you and not let you be wronged. I'm going to pay you back everything I owe to your mother. ”
"But, your grandfather won't allow me to go on like this, so I married the man you called mom for more than ten years. We are a complete political union. But she eventually fell in love with me. ”
"I can't help it, I can't love her. That's why we've been tormenting each other for so many years. ”
The man's eyes darkened, and he fell into the memories of the past.
Li Jing looked at the vicissitudes of life, he was his biological father.
"Later, I met Li Hong. She has your mother's shadow on her. Weak, simple, makes people want to protect. Probably because of your mother's shadow, I fell in love with her. ”
Speaking of Li Hong, the man's face was obviously glowing.
"After a long time, I realized that she was different from your mother. She's more resilient than your mom. ”
"After Zhilu said that I was a married man, she wanted to give up, and that crazy woman went to school again and again to make trouble. The school she was at before was so troubled by that woman that she couldn't stay anymore. I've changed schools a few times. ”
"I told her I was going to get a divorce."
The man looked at Li Jing, "Jing'er, Dad hopes to get your blessing." ”
Going around and around, do you still want her blessing? How should she say the words of blessing, she can't say the words of blessing yet.
"I want to see my mom." Li Jing clearly felt that her voice was a little choked.
"I'll go with you another day." The man's voice was a little vicissitudes, "I haven't been there for a long time." ”
"Jing'er, let's eat here tonight."
Li Jing smbabbled for a long time, and couldn't say anything if she refused, and it was really useless.
