Chapter 242: The Essence of Being a Man
Chapter 242: The foundation of being a man
The sky gradually darkened, Xiao Ruoning, who didn't know how long she had been in front of Xiao Jing's tombstone, until a cold wind blew, she struck a clever moment, looking at the cold tombstone, the figure that had gone away, Xiao Ruoning sighed with emotion, eighteen years old is the same age, but she has endured things far beyond the range of this age.
Relying on Xiao Jing's tombstone, he wanted to use his body temperature to warm up the cold tombstone, too many things have changed in two years, even if Xiao Ruoning was unwilling to accept Xiao Jing's death, she knew in her heart that the figure who depended on each other and was full of optimism about life would never come back.
Lao Zhangtou couldn't bear to disturb Xiao Ruoning, so deep that a trace of bitterness welled up in his eyes, he knew that Xiao Jingde was a girl, and she had a stubborn character since she was a child.
After thinking about it, he still decided to call Li Ailian, after all, blood between mother and daughter is thicker than water, and Xiao Jing's last wish is to hand over Xiao Ruoning's custody to Li Ailian.
A tear fell on Xiao Jing's tombstone, Xiao Ruoning was a little reluctant, but she still stood up slowly and muttered to herself, "Dad, you must be well in heaven." Don't worry about Ning'er, Ning'er will be happy when she grows up and meets herself. ”
The cold leaves are fluttering, I don't know when the sky has been scattered with snowflakes, it is already October, it stands to reason that autumn has not been completely replaced by winter, but it is surprisingly snowflakes.
Look at the snowflakes scattered in front of you. A smile welled up at the corner of Xiao Ruoning's mouth: "Dad, did you lay this snow for Ning'er?" Xiao Ruoning burst into tears. Looking at the snowflakes in front of her, Xiao Ruoning looked at Xiao Jing's tombstone and smiled.
The snow was still falling, and the first snow that came a month earlier, Xiao Ruoning looked back at Xiao Jing's grave several times, and while standing at the gate of Xiao's house, the rusty lock had been smashed open by Lao Zhangtou with a hammer.
"You kid hasn't bothered here for so long, you better go and stay with me for one night tonight, I'll help you clean up tomorrow."
"Don't bother, Uncle Zhang, I'll clean up after a while." When the gate of confinement opened, the courtyard was already full of dead grass. And Xiao Ruoning made the boudoir also accumulate thick dust.
Lao Zhangtou didn't speak, shook his head and turned to leave, took a broom and a feather duster from his house, and called his wife to help Xiao Ruoning clean up the room. was politely rejected by Xiao Ruoning.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang really doesn't need to bother, I'll just come by myself, this note is an IOU borrowed from your family the year before last, and I will give it to you tomorrow when I go to the bank to withdraw it." Xiao Ruoning said abruptly. Let the old man chuckle in his heart.
"You girl looks down on you Uncle Zhang, you can't make much money working outside all year round, let's talk about it when you have money, your Uncle Zhang looks down on money very lightly." In fact, as far as money is concerned, Lao Zhangtou does look very lightly. Almost in the alleys and alleys, he has to be the best.
"Uncle Zhang still has to pay back the money he owes you, I have money now, you can take it, you go to the bank with me tomorrow, and I will give you the money." Lao Zhangtou didn't insist anymore. After all, he knew that Xiao Ruoning might be unhappy if he continued to talk about it, after all, he grew up watching it since he was a child, and this girl was very stubborn.
Old Zhang Tou and his mother-in-law walked out of Xiao Ruoning's house, the huge courtyard seemed empty, and Xiao Ruoning turned on the light. I saw that my room had been covered by a thick layer of ash.
Gently blowing with his mouth, he swept the dust accumulated on the windowsill with a feather duster, and accidentally turned out the pages of the diary he handed to Sheng Chen, which was already a little yellowed.
It was an eternal pain in Xiao Ruoning's heart, and she didn't dare to open it to take another look. Just a few pages of the diary had shattered her faith and her dreams had stopped, but she had a nightmare. Her nightmare, the most difficult few days she lived, was only because she lost her beloved father.
"How many people have admired your appearance when you were young, you know who is willing to endure the ruthless changes of the years, how many people have come and gone in your life, you can know that you and I will be by your side all your life." When a string of morning cappella singing a lifetime has you the bell rings. Xiao Ruoning woke up from her infinite memories.
"Hey, why don't you answer the phone, are you home?" Looking at more than a dozen voices from Sheng Chen, and a missed call, Xiao Ruoning seemed to have found a way to get rid of the memories of the past hardships, and called Sheng Chen back.
"Hey! Girl, what are you doing, why don't you answer the phone? ”
"I'm cleaning up the room, I didn't hear it, by the way, Sheng Chen, can I go to your house tomorrow to see my future mother-in-law." Xiao Ruoning said a little naughty and a little shy.
"Then you can go, anyway, my mother must be used to you as a daughter-in-law, Ning'er, I hung up the phone first, Uncle Yang asked me to go to the bar for rehearsal, and I will call you tomorrow morning, remember to take care of yourself at home." After hurriedly saying this, Sheng Chen hung up the phone.
The snow is getting smaller and smaller, and the snow that lasted less than half an hour stopped moving, Xiao Ruoning looked at the scenery outside the window, and the bleak feeling of filling the yard made her heart inexplicably melancholy.
It was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and in the first hour of returning to this town, Chen Wen found Xiao Ruoning's home with the memory of that year, and the two people who hadn't seen each other for more than two years were just a hug, which was the biggest surprise for the pair of long-separated best friends.
"Hehe, hey, don't be surprised, Ah Ning!"
"Haha, I haven't seen you for a long time!" In addition to the surprise, the two of them held hands and talked about their changes.
"You've turned white and you're half a head taller than me, how do you eat, if Xinyi is taller than me, I won't be able to survive the three of us. It's so devastating. Chen Wen looked at Xiao Ruoning's height and was obviously much taller than herself.
"What's the matter, I haven't changed much, but you've become a returnee, it's so fun to be abroad." Chen Wen glanced at Xiao Ruoning angrily and said.
"The word returnee is not as good as a turtle, when did Ah Ning's mouth become so bad, was it taught by your family Sheng Chen, I think you were just fascinated by him."
"No, where do you think you go, it's true, like before I love to joke all day long." The two of them cleaned up the room, and finally cleaned up the originally dusty room.
"Huh! This is the graduation photo of our class! Chen Wen's eyes lit up, and she stared at the photo in the corner of the bed and exclaimed.
"Yes, this is the graduation photo of our class. You see me and Xinyi, Sheng Chen, Shuofang, and Mo Shi are all here, and there is one less of you, you say it's a pity. Chen Wen looked at the photo and didn't speak, she missed too many things back then. (To be continued.) )
