MCA and Cai Jieji's AA partnership began on the second day. MCA said: "I may have to go home during the Chinese New Year, so my girlfriend comes to eat once in a while, so I don't have to pay extra?" ”
Cai Jie said: "Of course, Sister Twist is here, I'm in for a treat." However, the gas and the stove here are all the teacher's, so don't my teachers have to pay for it? ”
"Of course, oh...... In other words, it's the two of us? ”
"Yes, you said okay, you still have to buy groceries, I still have to do it."
"It doesn't seem like a good idea, but let's give it a trial run in the next few days. I went grocery shopping. ”
Cai Jie went to the next door to knock on the door, and knocked for a long time but did not open the door. Where would he go so early? Doesn't he want to open the door for himself? Cai Jie had a question.
Fang Xinning actually went to the No. 2 Nursing Home in Xin County to see Ji's mother. Ji's mother often plays mahjong with a group of old ladies over there. When an old lady saw Fang Xinning, she said to Ji's mother, "Your son has come to see you." ”
Ji's mother corrected: "It's not a son, it's a son-in-law." She greeted her, and the other party Xinning said: "It's good here, you don't have to come all the time, and don't buy so many things here, we have all kinds of tricks in the canteen, and every meal is not repeated." She is particularly proud of this "we" when she emphasizes it.
"I know that I said," Fang Xinning said, "If you are hungry at night, you can take it out and eat a little." ”
"Hey, I don't eat at night to lose weight."
"You don't want to lose it, it's still more important to be healthy."
"If you want to reduce, or not, they said that everyone dances together in the spring, and it doesn't look good if you're fat."
Fang Xinning found that Mother Ji was more optimistic than before, and she was naturally very happy in her heart. I also asked if I needed some daily necessities and if I wanted to buy a few clothes. Ji's mother said, "Don't want anything." I don't lack these things. My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, right? ”
Fang Xinning said: "The due date is still two months. ”
"Then you're going to take care of her and stop running here, huh?"
Fang Xinning said goodbye to Mother Ji. He knew that Lu Daoji's mother didn't know about his divorce, and he couldn't let her know about it.
Coming out of the nursing home, Fang Xinning suddenly remembered Ji Hongfei. She was buried in a cemetery next to the martyr's cemetery, and it was almost the New Year, and he should go to see her. He got on his bicycle and walked seven or eight miles against the wind. From a distance, he saw a person with a pestle next to Ji Hongfei's tombstone. When he got closer, he found out that the person turned out to be Ji Hongfei's father, Ji Lianzhong.
Fang Xinning froze. He saw Ji Lianzhong take out a handkerchief. wiped his daughter's tombstone, and stood silently for a while before reluctantly walking out. Fang Xinning hid behind a stone and let him go. Seeing that he was far away, Fang Xinning walked to Ji Hongfei's tomb.
In addition to evergreens, flowers and plants have long since dried up. Fang Xinning saw that Ji Hongfei's tombstone was spotlessly wiped and clean. He muttered to himself, "Hongfei, how are you?" Your dad came to see you just now, and your mom is in the nursing home now. Life is very good, you can rest assured. I ......" He suddenly had nothing to say - his own situation, can he tell her?
"I'm fine, too." Fang Xinning pondered for a while before speaking.
It's cold and swishing everywhere. Fang Xinning waved his hand and said to Ji Hongfei's tomb, "I'm back." ”
He found his bike. Ride on and rush back. It was cold, and it was a deserted area, so there were very few people on the road. Walked three or four miles. Fang Xinning saw Ji Lianzhong and the owner of a small store on the side of the road, and when he approached them, Ji Lianzhong continued to walk towards the city.
Fang Xinning asked the owner of the commissary: "Do you know this person?" ”
"Why don't you know? Old colleagues. We used to work together in a department store. Now retired, he comes here every day for a walk, saying that one of his daughters is in the cemetery here. ”
Fang Xinning, who hadn't eaten in the morning, asked for a pack of calcium milk biscuits. The boss enthusiastically poured him a cup of hot water with a paper cup and said, "He, when he was young, let one of his waitresses fool him, he divorced his wife, but this waitress didn't marry him, but lived together for seven or eight years, gave birth to a son, and now, the girl lives separately from him, and the son never lets him see him." He lived alone in a dilapidated building, asking for money without money, asking for no one, and thinking about this one dead daughter. ”
Fang Xinning responded: "Oh. ”
Fang Xinning ate half a pack of biscuits, packed the rest, and said goodbye to the boss. He was thinking that human tragedies are often self-inflicted, like Ji Lianzhong, who originally had a happy family, but he insisted on giving up this happiness to pursue temporary happiness. It stands to reason that he doesn't deserve sympathy, but seeing his somewhat awkward back, and thinking of his current situation, Fang Xinning actually felt that he couldn't hate him, and he couldn't hate him for Ji Hongfei.
Fang Xinning went straight to his hut, and just wanted to sit down and rest, when he saw Wang Jingzhi push the door and come in. She said, "I'll pick up my stuff." ”
Fang Xinning let go of her. She found her clothes and packed them in a suitcase. After a while, she was about to go next door again, but Fang Xinning stopped her. She asked, "What, someone?" ”
"Yes," Fang Xinning said, "this house is not mine after all." ”
"I've got something in there."
"I've moved everything inside to our house."
Wang Jingzhi went back to the house and found a cup to drink. Fang Xinning saw the motorcycle key hanging on the wall at a glance, and hurriedly helped her take it down and handed it to her. She said, "You can use it." ”
"I have a bike." Fang Xinning said.
Wang Jingzhi went next and put it in her luggage.
Fang Xinning asked, "Let's ...... Didn't your dad say anything about the money? ”
"I don't know what to do." Wang Jingzhi said. As she spoke, she walked out. At this time, Cai Jie, who was cooking, happened to come out to pick up the tap water, and when she saw the door next door open, she shouted: "Teacher, the meal is almost ready." ”
The two women nearly bumped into each other.
Wang Jingzhi looked at her, then at him, and walked out without saying a word.
Cai Jie was taken aback, and then asked Fang Xinning, "It turned out that my sister-in-law came back?" Leave her to eat, right? ”
"She's here to pick up something." Fang Xinning said.
Cai Jie was busy fetching tap water, and then hurriedly came back to flip the dishes in the wok.
MCA also came and said, "Today, it is our first partnership, how about I buy more vegetables and have some wine?" ”
"Yes, yes." Cai Jie responded.
Fang Xinning also smelled the fragrance in this room, came to check, and saw that there were pork ribs stewed in the pot, and there were a few green vegetables. Cai Jie was wearing an apron and was busy in front of the stove, like a housewife.
"I just ate it." Fang Xinning said, taking out the remaining half of the packet of biscuits.
"You've had a snack, so let's eat it together." Saying that, Cai Jie shouted MCA's name again, and pushed Fang Xinning to wash his hands. (To be continued......)
