Chapter 16 It's not that the world is cruel, it's that you're too weak
At the end of the summer, the door of the house was pushed open, and Grandma Xia, who was washing the dishes, was startled, and saw that it was a familiar person who patted her chest: "Xiaojie, why are you in such a hurry, the door is going to be broken by you." ”
At the end of the summer, he heard a noise and came down from the stairs, stood at the top of the stairs and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, something happened." Seeing that he nodded emphatically, he went upstairs at the end of the summer and took his backpack: "Grandma, I will go with Xiao Zhuo, and I won't be able to help in the fields in the afternoon." ”
Grandma Xia looked at the end of Xia who ran out and shouted, "Why are you running so fast?" Do you have any money, do you want grandma to give you a little? At the end of summer, waving his hand, the old man said: "Really, you can't stay well, you're busy." ”
At the end of the summer, he asked as he walked: "Is there any news from Brother Qing?" What's wrong? In the hospital? How many doctors? ”
Xia Yingjie stopped and said in embarrassment: "I just went to the grandfather's village committee, and I heard a lot of people say that the recent big event is that the boss of the Xin Gang is dead. ”
At the end of the summer, he cried out in a lost voice: "What? Guo's father is dead. How so? It shouldn't be like this. ”
Xia Yingjie nodded, he knew the person who funded the school at the end of the summer, and knew their relationship, so he was a little embarrassed. "I heard that it was found in the box toilet of Haoting, and I fell and died after drinking and taking medicine, and I was out of gas when I found it."
A man who was in the prime of life and soft-hearted died, the man who was drunk and talked about the past with the end of the summer hooked up and talked about the past, and the man who was stubborn and refused to admit defeat and couldn't be defeated died. At the end of the summer, she didn't know how to describe how she felt inside, and her lips trembled and she couldn't open her mouth.
Xia Yingjie patted her on the back: "Actually, you can't do anything at this time, and the people who come and go are all people in society, and now the letter gang is very chaotic." ”
Tick bell, abrupt bell rang, Xia Yingjie picked up the phone: "Hey, no, you wait." Looking for you should be the woman from yesterday. ”
At the end of the summer, when he took the phone, he heard Fang Ping's somewhat rushed voice: "It seems that I have really found someone, hum." ”
Late Summer: "Something?" The voice was a little low, and the other party was silent for a while. At the end of the summer, he was not in the mood to listen to her abuse, so he said: "If it's okay, I'm going to hang up and borrow someone else's mobile phone." ”
Fang Ping's embarrassed voice sounded: "Don't hang up, do you know what happened to Guo Qing?" I know you're back in S Town, and we can't get in touch with him, do you know what's going on? ”
Looking at the sky at the end of summer, there is no sun: "It seems that you don't know, too, after all, the distance is far away." didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and said coldly at the end of the summer: "Godfather is dead, I haven't seen Brother Qing yet, I'm going to go to the house to have a look." ”
Fang Ping exclaimed: "Uncle Guo is dead, are you kidding?" It's not funny at all. At the end of summer, I don't believe it, don't lie to me. ”
Summerend exhaled a few times: "I hope it's a joke too, but it's being discussed in our village." At the end of the summer, he choked up and said, "Brother Qing needs you, come back to see him." ”
Fang Ping was silent for a while, and said sadly: "The doctor said that my mother only has half a year, I can't, and you are here, just have you with him." ”
Xia Mo snorted and said: "It's not that you can't just have scruples, don't use me as an excuse to prevent you from meeting, he is my brother all his life." We've heard about you, and whatever the reason, I look down on you. ”
After saying that, he hung up directly at the end of the summer, and then turned his head and said, "Xiaojie, don't answer this call again, and go back to school to help me take a few days off." ”
Xia Yingjie took her hand: "Are you really going?" Aren't you afraid? ”
Xia Mo smiled: "I'm afraid, what's there to be afraid of." He spoils me like my own father, loves me and cultivates me, Brother Qing takes care of me and protects me like an elder brother, why should I be afraid? ”
Xia Yingjie said anxiously: "But those people, they are mixed with black"
Late Summer interrupted him: "It doesn't matter what others say about them, and it doesn't matter what they do, but I just know that they are reasonable and take good care of me." ”
Looking at the back of the end of summer, the boy was a little sad. He thought that the two were no longer so familiar because of the separation of three years in junior high school, but now he knows: it turns out that she has been moving forward, and he has been stopping at memories; There were no memories of him in many of her lives; He didn't know what she was going through, so he couldn't re-engage. ”
Another sad girl threw herself into the arms of a thin boy on crutches and cried bitterly, and the boy patted her back with his right hand, which was missing his thumb and forefinger, and sighed softly: "How did we get to this point? ”
At the end of the summer, I met Aunt Li, who was a little haggard at the entrance of the alley, she was Guo Qing's mother and had met her once in the hotel before. After separating from her godfather, she has been opening a store in G City and rarely comes back, and she is a strong but poor woman. The two were separated because of a little bit of death, and they cared about each other, Guo's father had a woman but never remarried, and Aunt Li has always been single.
When I got closer, I saw that her slightly convex lower abdomen was a little convex, and it was clear that Guo's father had been in G City the year before. Late summer walked over and hugged her: "Why didn't Aunt Li go in?" It's weirdly tired to stand. ”
Li Li's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and the one meter six looked petite at the end of the summer when she was in her early 1.7 meters, and said with a crying voice: "Didn't Xiaoqing say that you went to the city to compete, why did you come back?" Did you come back on purpose to know about your godfather? ”
Xia Mo took her somewhat cold hand: "Yesterday was the end of the competition, how can you not tell me?" And why does Brother Qing let you stand here, what should you do if you are tired of your younger brothers and sisters? ”
Li Li said crampedly: "Don't tell him I'm coming, he asked me to stay in the hotel and don't come." He hadn't been to the hotel for three days, and I was a little worried. You come and help me take a look, and I'll go back first. ”
At the end of the summer, he didn't let go, and said slightly: "Why don't you go in when you get to your own house?" Let's go inside. ”
When I entered the door, I saw two enlarged black and white photographs, a kind old man and a handsome man. Xia Mo turned her head in surprise and glanced at the person walking next to her, she went from nervous to sad and crying: "Mom had a heart attack when she heard the news, and she went to the hospital within two hours. ”
Late summer: "Knowing that she had just undergone heart bypass surgery, who told her the news?" ”
Li Li didn't answer, glanced at the woman who had stopped crying and looked at her belly, and took a step back. Xia Mo put down his expression and looked at her, patting her back soothingly. asked the person next to him: "What about Brother Qing?" ”
A familiar man walked over and whispered, "It's a meeting on the second floor, and everyone in the gang is here." "At the end of summer, I looked at the people guarding the mourning hall, some familiar and some unfamiliar, most of them were young and immature faces. I remember that Guo's father would never agree to join the club as a minor, and it seems that a lot of things have happened in the past few years.
At the end of the summer, he called two people he knew: "Xiaoqing, you and Ayi take your godmother to the room opposite Brother Qing on the third floor." Godmother, that's where I usually live, there are clothes in it to take a shower, and I just blew the wind and be careful of catching a cold. ”
He Feng was not calm when he heard this sentence of godmother, and said: "Xiao Budian hasn't been here for a long time, and he doesn't know his godmother anymore, so he can't scream." ”
At the end of the summer, she glanced at her shoulder with a black cloth with the words 'filial daughter-in-law' written on it, frowned, stretched out her hand, pulled it off and threw it into the copper basin where the paper money was burned: "How can the eldest uncle let an outsider burn paper money for grandma, and you are the most senior here, why aren't you presiding?" No matter what, you can't let the guest be in charge, and the godfather is the most polite rule. ”
The other party was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's still a young man's brain, Xiaoqing is too young to be clear, Ayou, you are an uncle, you need to help more." Fortunately, all the relatives will arrive tomorrow, so let a few people come to the ancestral hall to help. ”
He Feng saw that the situation was not right, and called the end of Xia who was about to go upstairs: "I know that your godfather is polite and polite, so what do you mean by this?" Am I not your godfather's wife? I'm not eligible, who is eligible? She? Isn't it an early divorce? I don't know whose wild seed I am pregnant with, so I run over, it's really shameful. ”
Xia Mo glanced at her and said lightly: "I remember that my godfather didn't get a marriage certificate again, and the family tree didn't have your name written on it, I don't believe that the eldest uncle will bring the family tree to you later." And my godfather spent most of the year before in G City, and my godmother's belly was Brother Qing's own brother and sister, so I'm not welcome. ”
He Feng was angry: "Even if I am an outsider, what are you?" "At the end of summer, I just walked forward by myself, leaving her with only a handsome back. And the young people in the mourning hall looked at each other and asked the old people in the gang to find out. This is the boss's doted 'eldest lady', who has really been polite when she has seen wine, I heard that the scene is very big, I heard that she is very smart, I heard that she is very good at fighting, and I heard that everyone in the gang knows her.
Li Li finally asked at the corner of the second floor: "Is your godfather really not remarried?" Is my name really in the family tree? Summer Mo nodded and watched her cry and go upstairs. Now I know that it doesn't really mean much, and the people are gone, just for thought.
At the end of the summer, she pushed the door in without knocking, and the people at the door knew that she didn't stop her. A group of big men glanced at the people at the door, frowned and puzzled, and even spoke directly: "Didn't you see a meeting inside, why didn't you stop it?" ”
It was He Long who spoke, the brother of the woman downstairs, who used to have a somewhat obscene temperament, but now he feels like a villain. Guo Qing stood up and said, "Coming?" Let's go upstairs and rest, and you'll be fine for a while. ”
At the end of summer, I closed the door, said hello to a few elders I knew, and then walked to the desk and leaned: "Mom is resting upstairs and has been standing at the mouth of the alley for a long time. After looking around, he said suspiciously: "Why didn't you see the fat third brother?" Isn't he the one who knows the things best? ”
Brother Qing looked at the end of Xia and knew that she would definitely not leave, so he touched her head helplessly: "The fat third brother is a little troublesome, I have been in for a while, and I won't let go in the bureau." Seeing that his eyes were dark, he knew that there was a cat in the middle.
He Long: "Xiaoqing, I know that you two brothers and sisters have a good relationship, but it's not appropriate for her to have such a meeting." ”
At the end of summer, he whistled: "I am more familiar with this study than you, and I am also more familiar with the uncle here than you, why can't I be here when you are here?" ”
He Long: "You, hmph." I don't know how thick the sky is. ”
Looking at his angry look, a bald and fat man touched his stomach and laughed: "This girl is still as impulsive as before, your godfather hurts you so much, and you owe your filial piety." I don't think I can talk about anything today, there will be a funeral tomorrow, and Xiaoqing is also busy. I heard that my sister-in-law was coming, so I went to meet her. ”
He Long is helpless, this bald head is a person who has some status in the gang, although he is not often in S Town, but he still has some ability, so it is difficult to say anything. Before leaving, she glanced at the end of Xia, and Guo Qing immediately blocked in front of her.
Xia Mo pulled his somewhat tense arm, and gradually he relaxed, and turned his head to look at Xia Mo, his eyes were bloodshot: "Why do you still have a conflict in front of you when you know that he is not a generous person?" ”
End of Summer: "You can't regress again and again for a villain who is a servile villain, it will make him gain an inch." It doesn't matter if I don't come back often, and Uncle Guangdao won't leave for a while, and it's hard to trouble me when I go back to school. ”
Guo Qing reluctantly pulled out a smile: "I can't tell you all along, be careful." He rubbed his face, put his hands on his face, and said tiredly, "Why do you say this world is so cruel?" ”
At the end of summer, he gently hugged his head: "In nature, natural selection is emphasized, the fittest survive, and the unfit are eliminated." It's not that the world is too cruel, it's that you're too fragile. When you are strong, others can only look up and will not dare to challenge. ”
Guo Qing didn't speak, but gradually there was a wet feeling on his shoulders at the end of summer.
Guo Qing suddenly remembered a conversation between the two fathers and sons after they went to school and drank: The biggest difference between people is the cold and hard Cheng and the ability to bear it, Fang Ping in your group is spoiled, Zheng Lei is too hard-hearted, Zheng Ming is mature but protected too well, and you are too soft and at a loss to have no direction.
Guo Qing: What about the small ones?
Guo's father smiled: That's a child I can't even see through. She never takes the initiative to interact with you, not near or far, as if she has seen through the world. She is intelligent, precocious and cold, probably because of her upbringing. Once such a person enters her heart, then she will remember it for a lifetime. You are not as good as her, get along well.
At that time, Guo Qing smiled and felt how could he lose to a little girl. It turned out that he was right: he was inferior to her. If someone supports her, then her future is immeasurable.
