Chapter 120: Sit and watch the clouds roll up
The taxi stopped in front of a shopping mall, I paid the fare and got off. According to the floor plan of the shopping mall, I first went to the fourth floor to buy a medium-sized travel bag, and then carried the duffel bag to the mother and baby counter on the sixth floor to buy clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc. After buying things, I found a mid-range hotel near the shopping mall to stay, and I went back to my room to rest after having dinner in the hotel restaurant. Maybe it's because I haven't lived alone for too long, and when I look at the empty room, I always feel that my heart is also empty.
I used PD to search for news in Fengcheng, and sure enough, I saw that the news of the marriage contract between the Qiao family and the Rong family was pushed to the homepage, and in the photo in the accompanying picture, Qiao Yichen was still wearing the black suit he wore when he held a press conference in the morning, and the suit customized by the high-end clothing store tightly outlined his slender and upright figure, Qiao Yichen did not smile, and a cold face looked more attractive. Rong Qingqian was wearing an orange-pink tail dress, obediently holding Qiao Yichen's arm, and her beautiful face was really smiling like a flower. Rong Qingqian was really happy, killed all the concubines, and finally sat on the seat of the main palace. Even if I am so jealous, I have to admit that they are really golden boys and girls in the photo, and they look very compatible.
I threw the PD aside and lay on my back on the ** staring blankly at the snow-white ceiling. Did Qiao Yichen go home? Are you angry when you find out that I'm gone? Maybe I'm thinking too much, or maybe he's busy with his fiancée and hasn't come home at all. Even if he went back, he might not be happy to see that I was not there—he didn't have to find another house to arrange for me, and he didn't have to go through the pressure from my father and the Rong family for me......
I'm just a snake spirit disease, I found that whether Qiao Yichen was angry or happy, I felt so uncomfortable, I couldn't see Qiao Yichen having a bad time, and I couldn't see him having a good time with Rong Qingqian. Yes, I'm just a cautious and bad-hearted woman. My mind was haunted by this jumbled thoughts, and I fell into a groggy sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I found that I was still wearing the dress I wore yesterday, with a quilt on my body. After all, I was spoiled by Qiao Yichen, and I couldn't even cover the quilt when I slept. Time is really scary, and it can change a lot of things. If it's hard to get into a habit, it's definitely harder to break it.
I went into the bathroom and took a shower, maybe yesterday I didn't keep up with the diet, and after throwing up, it almost cost me half my life. I leaned against the wall and moved all the way to the edge of the **, and lay on the ** for a while before recovering my strength. And deeply realized that he was really not suitable for living alone now, so he could only dispel the idea of looking for a house in the city, and decided to obey Wang Kai's arrangement and go to his ancestral house in the suburbs to live with his grandmother. If not, I wouldn't have been able to faint at home, let alone someone to save me, as he said.
I took out the clothes I bought yesterday from my duffel bag and changed into them, and dragged my luggage to check out. I bought a breakfast at KF next to the hotel and ate it carefully, and then took a taxi to his ancestral house at the address given to me by Wang Kai. The climate in Ningcheng is a little cooler than that in Fengcheng, and the taxi does not turn on the air conditioning, and the windows on both sides are open. The car is quite comfortable to drive. The car drove to the suburbs, and the air became fresher. The village is also very different from three years ago, paved with asphalt roads. We asked the specific location of Wang's house at the entrance of the village, and the car finally stopped in front of a courtyard with a large iron gate with vermilion lacquer.
The courtyard door was ajar, and I could vaguely see the newly renovated two-story building and the neat courtyard inside, and I dragged my luggage in, and when I saw the fruity loquat tree in the yard, I was sure that I should have found the right one. There was no one in the yard, only a variety of dried vegetables, dried fruits and small dried fish drying on the sundeck.
I was about to shout and ask if anyone was there, when a mother-in-law's voice came from behind: "Are you ...... Miss Jing that Kyle said, right? ”
I turned around and saw a gray-haired mother-in-law who looked kind: "Well, I'm Jing Xin." ”
"Come in and sit down, come on." My mother-in-law dragged me into the house.
He asked me a few words about Wang Kai's situation, and I replied seriously: "Mother-in-law, I have been to your house before, do you remember me?" ”
The mother-in-law frowned, stepped forward and took a closer look: "Oh...... You're Kyle's daughter-in-law, right? ”
"...... "I have a black line, Wang Kai said that since his father passed away, his grandmother has been stimulated a little, and she is old, and she is clear for a while and confused for a while. Wang Kai took his grandmother to a big hospital in Jiangcheng to see a doctor, and the doctor said that his grandmother was too old, and the drug treatment not only had a limited effect but also hurt the liver and kidneys, so it was more reasonable for the family to take care of them more conservatively.
"You are Miss Jing, I was invited by Mr. Wang to take care of my mother-in-law, you can call me Sister-in-law Zhang." Sister-in-law Zhang took my luggage: "Mr. Wang called back and said that you want to stay at home for a few days, let me take good care of you." ”
"I'm sorry for your trouble."
"What's the trouble, it's a matter of adding chopsticks to dinner. I'll take you to your room first. ”
"Okay."
Sister-in-law Zhang dragged my luggage up to the second floor and opened the door to let me in: "Mr. Wang called back last week and asked me to clean up the room. ”
The room is very clean, the sheets and curtains are new, and a small round table is placed in front of the window, with two chairs next to it. Turned around is a double **, **next to the wardrobe and computer desk, and there is a lazy sofa opposite. Although the room is not big, it has a built-in bathroom, which should be considered good in the village.
"If you see what you are missing, tell me, and I will let my man go into the city to buy it." Sister-in-law Zhang put my duffel bag next to the wardrobe and wanted to help me put my luggage.
"It's all good, I'll just sort out the luggage myself."
"Okay, then I'll go out to work, if you have something to do, call me, I'm in the yard." Sister-in-law Zhang pointed to the electric kettle on the table: "I changed this water in the morning, if you want to drink water, plug it in, and it will boil in a few minutes." ”
"Okay, I got it."
Sister-in-law Zhang went downstairs, and I hung a few simple clothes in the closet, then put the toiletries in the bathroom, and put the empty travel bag in the compartment under the wardrobe. The environment here is much better than I thought, I remember the last time I came here it was an old bungalow, and the yard was dusty. At that time, I had just taken over the frost and was very busy, but I saw in my father's notepad that I was going to send money to this place, 40,000 yuan a year. I asked my father's secretary to find out that this is the hometown of the chief engineer of the company's engineering department, who is an honest person and has always refused to sign the false report prepared by Rong Zhentang, and then there was a natural gas explosion in his home...... All the doubts in this matter point to Rong Zhentang, but there is no evidence at all, Rong Zhentang has always been able to clean himself up with this kind of thing.
At that time, I was really tight on money, and there was no reliable person around me, so for the sake of safety, I personally came to send money, and I just happened to meet Wang Kai, who went back to his hometown to bury his father. Wang Kai's father was raised by distant relatives who had no heirs since he was a child, so he took the surname of the family. Later, the adoptive parents passed away one after another, and there were no close relatives there, and Wang Kai and his younger brother were born and returned to their own family's surname. For these, Rong Zhentang naturally won't investigate so carefully, only knowing that the chief engineer seems to be alone, so he will get rid of it directly. Wang Kai has always said that he did not die in the explosion because his father asked him to take revenge in the sky, on the day of the accident, he happened to pass by Fengcheng on a business trip, and he was supposed to accompany his father to have a meal, but he was stuck in traffic on the road, and when he returned to his father's house, the fire truck was already fighting the fire......
Later, Wang Kai went back to Fengcheng with me, ostensibly to help me take care of the frost forest drunk, but in fact, we used the frost forest drunk guests as a cover to collect evidence of Rong Zhentang's crime through various channels. After graduating from university, Wang Kai's younger brother Wang Sheng entered the development of the Rong family and became the administrative secretary of Rong Zhentang step by step. But Rong Zhentang didn't trust anyone at all, and Wang Sheng, as his secretary, didn't have access to much substantive evidence of the crime, so our plan didn't go very smoothly.
I sat on the couch in a daze, a little confused, not knowing where to go...... It's been a long time since I've been hesitant like this.
"Miss Jing, it's time to eat." Sister-in-law Zhang knocked on the door.
"Okay." I answered.
At lunch, I met Sister-in-law Zhang's husband, who looked very honest with his tanned skin and white teeth. A small square table was set in the shade of a tree in the courtyard, and the four of us sat together eating a peasant meal. The fresh river and vegetables are all salvaged and picked in the morning, although the cooking is simple but the taste is good. I didn't eat well yesterday, but I ate more than usual.
"Miss Jing is here for a tour?" Sister-in-law Zhang's husband asked.
"Oh...... Wang Kai said that the air here is good, so I can relax. "I'm snorting haha.
"Isn't it good for us here, the air is good, there are many trees, there is a lake in front and a mountain in the back, what do people say is natural...... Oxygen, right? I don't know what an oxygen bar is, but it's a good idea, right? Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and said, "You can rest for a few days, and when you are relieved, I will take you to our houseboat." ”
"Well, I'm going to stay here for a while, so there's no hurry." The air here is really good, and the vegetables are all grown by themselves, which should be good for the baby, so let's live here a few before making plans. Making this decision, my heart has also settled down a little bit, and I feel much more comfortable.
Life here is very comfortable, there is Internet and express delivery. I didn't dare to use the computer often, so I bought a box of books on the Internet, walked twice a day in the morning and evening, and spent the rest of my time basking in the sun and reading books, and the whole state of my body slowed down. The arrival of the baby gave me a vacation from nervousness that had been tense for three years, although I am not too used to it, but I can always develop this habit.
