Seven. Criticism
"After that accident five years ago, my mother was also devastated, and it can be said that she was completely devastated, and even her soul seemed to be lost. Then she became a little ...... The mental state was particularly bad, and then I was hospitalized once because of my physical condition, and I lived for more than ten days. Lu Jiaoyang was obviously still very sad when she mentioned the past: "At that time, we were all frightened, and we especially asked my mother's good friend Aunt Lu to take special care of her. But what I didn't expect was that although my life was saved, my leg was ...... There is no way to walk, so I have to be in a wheelchair. Since then, my dad quit his job and opened a clinic nearby to take care of my mom and the neighbors. But ......"
Speaking of this, she shook her head a little helplessly and said: "My mother is a very sensitive person, and the most annoying thing is that someone asks about her legs, even if she doesn't care at the time, but when only we are left as a family, she will always be very sad and lock herself in the room and see no one...... So thank you really for your thoughtfulness. β
Tong Jiaoyang used to be a person who never felt sad about her family's affairs, she may be like Chen Ran once said, she has no heart and lungs, and she will never be sad about anything else except herself. But apparently the accident changed the trajectory of her life and taught her to start paying attention to her family. I have no way to delve into what happened back then, and there is no need to get to the bottom of it, the only thing I can do is to pat Tong Jiaoyang on the shoulder and tell her that everything will be fine, and everything should not be too worried.
"How can you not be worried? I used to feel like I was very happy, even compared to Yifei. I was lucky, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't know a lot of things, and now I know that my mom has taken on too many things, and she has been hiding them from us. Since she was in a wheelchair, I can feel that the atmosphere in our house is not the same as before, and I don't know who to talk to about a lot of things. All I knew was that everything seemed wrong, and even the people I knew were very strange. Tong Jiaoyang's face was a little more helpless.
"Having a caring daughter like you is the best comfort for her." I tried my best to comfort Tong Jiaoyang. Xinhee is secretly sighing. Time has really changed too many things, including the carefree Tong Jiaoyang in the past.
"You're right. I'm not the same person I used to be anymore, I need to take care of my mom and the whole family. But on my own. It's so limited. Now I regret it so much. It was too playful at first. That's why I have become so bad that I can't do anything. Tong Jiaoyang patted her head a little remorsefully, but she quickly shook her head. After a while, he said: "Forget it, forget it, it's useless to regret it now." It's like my mom said, as long as I'm there for them, it's more important than anything else. That's all I can do now. β
I smiled and nodded, and she always seemed to have all sorts of things to do, and after saying that, she actually left like a gust of wind.
It's still the same as before, and even the people don't seem to have changed much from before, but five years, and more importantly, the things that happened five years ago have left too many marks on everyone's body and changed the trajectory of their lives. At least, five years ago it was just a place for them to vacation, but now it's where they live. Five years ago, everyone was naΓ―ve and still had beautiful fantasies about the future, but now, most people have gone to work, but everyone's life has changed differently. What is it that brings them together here? Is it really because of Lu Yifei?
"What are you looking at so distractedly, you didn't even hear me knock on the door?" Lu Yifei, who was not tall, leaned against the door, looked at me and said lightly: "It can't be a revisit to the old land, and it has triggered your countless memories, right?" Do you really remember us? If I don't send you that invitation, will you come back? β
"Probably not." I looked at her calmly, she was still the same as before, she never beat around the bush when she had words, and never cared about whether those words were lethal or not, everything was judged according to her own preferences whether to say those words or not, and I naturally didn't need to go around in a big circle, "I am buried in all kinds of things every day, where is there still such leisure to think about going around here." Besides, I heard that you're basically busy with your own business now, aren't you? So when I received the invitation, I was really surprised. However, I don't think you're just coming back to talk, right? It's also not like it's about reminiscing about the happy times we had together in the past. β
"Straightforward enough. But I love it. Actually, I've never been a big fan of being friends with girls, because I have to go around several big circles to talk to them, and then I might talk about my purpose very implicitly. But you're different, every time you speak, it's so crisp! Lu Yifei glanced at me and stroked her hair with her signature movements, looking so charming.
"So, you didn't come to me to be polite, did you?" I raised my eyes to look at Lu Yifei, she was really direct enough.
Lu Yifei nodded and said, "Yes, inviting you to come here is actually what Ou Qingpeng meant, I only found out about this after his invitation was sent." You're all here, so let's find some time to talk about it seriously, right? Things are too complicated here, though. I couldn't understand it for a while. You should know the most basic situation here, my aunt you have also seen, she is now in a wheelchair, and it is not convenient to go up and down the stairs, so she usually lives in the yard next door, which was originally my family's property, so when it is time to catch up with the holidays, everyone will come here for a small gathering...... As for Jiaoyang, she is still the same as in the past, she has been spoiled since she was a child, and she hasn't experienced anything, so she doesn't know anything, and even if we know some things, we are too likely to tell her, so you don't have to tell her a lot. β
After saying this in one breath, Lu Yifei took a slight breath, and then looked at me in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time. (To be continued.) )
