The bed at home was not as warm as she had imagined, and Jia Yi had been hugging the quilt, and despite the arrival of early summer, she was still tightly wrapped, but her ears were erect, sensitively catching, unfiltered from the sound coming from next door, and soon she finally heard the familiar quarrel.

My father said, "If you have money, why don't you help buy a house?" ”

The mother said, "What else can she do if she does everything?" ”

The father said, "How...... This is the consequence of your lax discipline, but fortunately she didn't take any debt, which is really worrying. ”

Mother said, "Even if you borrow it, she won't let you pay ......it back."

……

Jia Yi stuffed her head into the quilt, and the cotton wool in the quilt was like a line of defense, and she only had to hide in the quilt to block a qiē sound, which was a trick she had mastered before.

It's just that after so many years, she still uses it a little rusty, and she can only comfort herself in the quilt and say, "It's so warm!" ”

Not long after squinting, the phone vibrate.

It's Gao Qu's WeChat:

"Slept? The home is ok, the soundproofing of the hotel is very poor. ”

Jia Yi smiled, and she had no choice but to reply to him:

"Then you can make noise for the next person too, or you can stuff your head under the covers."

Gao Qu quickly replied:

"How does a person make noise? You can't knock on the wall by yourself, and you can't be stuffed in the bed, which will look pitiful. ”

The words suddenly seemed blurry, as if she was in a hurry to struggle to escape from the screen, and she couldn't help asking:

"Why does it look pitiful to be stuffed under the covers?"

Why does it seem pitiful? Why does she feel more pitiful at home? She asked Gao Qu, wanting to hear a different answer, an answer that could not offend the family but also relieve herself.

Gao Qu's information quickly popped up:

"Because I'm going to miss you......"

Jia Yi stared at the words on the screen for a long time, she should have been desensitized to such provocative words, but in the middle of the night, in the cubicle where her parents were arguing, just as she was stuffing her brain into the quilt, she suddenly became obsessed with this feeling of making people flutter and throb.

But she still didn't reply, she wanted to keep staring at these words, holding a warm mobile phone to fall asleep, and have a good dream, like the kind of dream that every child will have when they come home, sweet and carefree, a dream of being loved.

But the phone immediately vibrated again, and it was still Gao Qu's message:

"Hahaha, are you starting to control yourself again?"

Jia Yi knew that he had started to joke about himself again, so she had to give up, throwing her phone aside, and the silence in her ears was occupied by the voice of her parents next door, which was as noisy as "clothes are messed up", "tonight's soup is salty", "who will go to Jiaxing's parent-teacher meeting" and so on......

The phone vibrates again:

"Okay, actually, I lost!"

But Jia Yi ignored the message reminder, she knew that it was Gao Qu, she just didn't want her heart to suffer double - from home, from him.

But her forehead was already sweating in the bed, so she had to sigh and stick her head out, when the phone rang, and she guessed that it was Gao Qu.

She didn't want to take it, but she didn't dare to let it ring.

Jia Yi had no choice but to press the answer button, and immediately there was a string of "why don't you reply", "what are you doing now", "are you sleeping"...... and complained that he was alone in a foreign land, sleeping in a hotel with poor sound insulation......

It was really a series of crackles without gasping, and before she could reply, the light in the room was suddenly turned on, and the mother came in with some clothes and sheets.

Jia Yi immediately sat up, his fingers touched the speakerphone in a panic, and Gao Qu's voice suddenly sounded clearly in the room: "You are really ruthless, I live alone in the Yucheng Hotel, accompany me ......"

Suddenly, Jia Yi immediately hung up the phone, she smiled awkwardly at her mother, her mother just looked at her suspiciously, put down the things in her hand, and at the moment of walking out of the door, she suddenly looked back at Jia Yi and asked, "Yucheng Hotel is our Yucheng Hotel here." ”

Jia Yi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Huh?! No, it shouldn't be......" She could only smile at her mother in embarrassment, and she didn't know how to lie for a while.

The mother didn't say anything, but stepped out the door, and after a while, the next door began to whisper again.

Jia Yi helplessly looked at the mobile phone lying on the quilt constantly vibrating and flashing the screen, she gritted her teeth but had no way to vent, so she had to pick up the phone and pick up the phone, and there was a burst of roars: "What's the matter with you?" I'm at home, not in N City, and it's hard for me to be so unscrupulous that you're doing it well! ”

Only then did she realize that the next door had suddenly fallen silent, perhaps all her ears had been attached to the wall, which made Jia Yi dare not make a sound for a while.

"What's wrong with you? I just thought you just hung up the phone by mistake and wanted to call again......" Gao Qu explained on the other end of the phone.

"I ......" Jia Yi was speechless for a while, she had a lot of grievances in her heart, but she was not as innocent as him.

"Are you going to sleep?"

"Right...... Hung up! ”

Before Gao Qu could say an "oh", a piercing and long "beep-" began to bulge on the other end of the phone, which was endless, and he had no choice but to give up.

His eyes looked at the ceiling in disappointment, and the white ash that had fallen off filled it with a yellowed newspaper, and he didn't know what year or month, maybe he was standing on the bed or jumping up on the ground to see the date on the newspaper at a high enough height, maybe those days had something to do with her, maybe he could guess from those days what she had been through in the past......

The next day, Jia Yi woke up early in the morning for breakfast, just sat down at the dining table and picked up a few chopstick noodles, and his younger brother Jia Xing hurried to school.

Mother added soup to Jiayi, and her father put down his chopsticks, looked at her, and suddenly asked, "Did you come back alone this time?" ”

Jia Yi quickly bit off the noodles, sucked them into his mouth, and said, "Yes......"

The father looked at the mother again, and the mother kept looking at it, so the father had to ask again: "Last night, your mother said that there was a man who said that he would contact you at the Yucheng Hotel......

Jia Yi put down her chopsticks and replied apprehensively, "Oh...... There was such a person, but we didn't know each other very well, and he just came here to have fun. ”

The parents glanced at each other, and didn't ask any more, and the silence for a while made Jia Yi, who had finished lying, a little uneasy, so she had to take the initiative to break the deadlock and ask, "Do you have any plans for today?" Are you going out grocery shopping? ”

"yes, your dad will go!" The mother looked at the father, but the father continued to read the newspaper and pick up the noodles with chopsticks one chopstick after another.

It turns out that after so many years, the parents still haven't reached an agreement on buying groceries.

Jia Yi had no choice but to say: "Let's go together, Mom and Dad, let's go together, I haven't been to the vegetable market for a long time." ”

The mother nodded hesitantly and said, "If you want to go, you can go." ”

My father didn't answer for a while, he just stirred the noodles in the bowl.

She was looking forward to her father's reaction with an anxious heart, although it was likely that she would refuse directly or continue to be silent, but she was still looking forward to a turnaround, just like when she walked into Dawei's counseling office that day, she was looking forward to a turnaround in her life.

The father took the noodles into his mouth, chewed and swallowed and drank his saliva, but still did not speak.

The familiar silence chiseled a deep ditch between the father and daughter, and this silent but frighteningly quiet abyss swallowed her longing for home little by little, cutting off her imagination of the affectionate affection of the legendary father and daughter.

How could a daughter be a lover of her father's past life? She really doesn't understand!!

She only knows that she shouldn't pin the turnaround on others, she should expect herself to take the first step like she did when she started her business!

She clenched her fists and plucked up the courage to say to her father again, "Dad, let's go together!" ”

Not a question, but a straightforward plea!

The father looked at Jia Yi in surprise, his frowning brow made all the deep lines appear, he paused for a while, turned his head and flipped through the newspaper, but said, "Go!" ”

Jia Yi finally let go of her fist and bloomed with great joy, at this moment she felt like the girl who had just entered kindergarten and wanted her parents to accompany her to school, and it was the same that day - "Dad, let's go together!" Her father replied, "Go! ”

For a time, there was no hope for her to reunite.

She quickly stood up, jumped all the way to the room, put on makeup and chose clothes, and when she finally went out, her father had already left for the downstairs, so she had to take her mother's hand and go downstairs with a smile. (To be continued.) )
