Chapter 4 Only when the wound is healed
Qiao Yang sent Su Man a few pictures across the country through text messages overnight, and Su Man's number was asked from Qiao An, saying that their father was still in contact with Su Man, so he had this number. The old man still seems to value this daughter-in-law very much, and even after his third marriage, he still has a higher opinion of Su Man than his son.
The few photos he sent out were nothing more than photos taken by him and a few girlfriends he had accosted, and he did this to tell Su Man: Don't think that you can get married three times, there are still many women in China.
Maybe the divorce is still angry with the other party like a child, Qiao Yang's idea was quickly responded to by Su Man, Su Man's phone call came in the middle of the night, and Su Man on the phone scolded directly with anger: "Qiao Yang, are you sick, I haven't seen you for ten years and deliberately make me feel bad, I thank you, I have a bad life as soon as I see you." And what are you showing me, you women are really vulgar fans, even like this, your vision is really getting worse and worse."
Before Qiao Yang could introduce himself, Su Man had already scolded him in fluent Chinese, which made Qiao Yang feel a little nostalgic for this hysterical scolding technique. He cleared his throat and planned to use other means: "I really can't imagine it, Su Man, I'm here to disturb your life, you let our daughter go back to China and tell me whose life you are disturbing with the news of marriage."
The voice on the other end of the phone paused, and then came in an uncertain tone: "Didn't Josha go to her uncle, how did she come to you"? As soon as he finished speaking, there was another cry of a baby, and Su Man quickly patted it and began to sing her lullaby in his ear.
Qiao Yang didn't know which of Su Man's husband's children this was, so he sneered for Qiao Xia, and then came up in a mocking tone: "You still want to keep the child like this, Su Man, no wonder Qiao Xia is very disappointed in you as a mother." He estimated that Qiao Xia would be disappointed again after seeing that he was still drunk and obsessed, but where could she go when she went back this time? Go back to Suman or go back to his uncle, his uncle will also marry and have children, and it will be a family.
Qiao Yang saw that he was still a single person in the past ten years, and he was also a person, before his evil nature was exposed, it would be a day to be able to take Qiao Xia in for a day. This idea that grew from his subconscious, firmly held his thoughts, penetrated into his language, and this time he softened his attitude and said: "Don't take the child away first, and don't tell her uncle, you concentrate on taking care of your own child, Qiao Xia will not lose a piece of meat if I stay in China for a few days."
Su Man coaxed the child, and when she heard Qiao Yang's words, she was a little dazed, Qiao Xia didn't kiss herself, plus she still had children to raise, and her energy would not be too much on Qiao Xia, so it would be good for her to return to China to feel Qiao Yang's father's love. If you feel it, you may be able to understand her goodness if you really experience it.
So, she also unloaded her original arrogance, nodded and agreed, she pressed her voice to a low throat to prevent it from noisy to the child in her arms, and continued: "What is your bank card number, I will send you some money, don't let Qiao Xia follow you to live a hard life."
The next day, Qiao Yang lazily started to take care of Qiao Xia's new life, and yesterday Su Man sent her a sum of money, so during this time, life can be a little richer and lazy. His meals are either takeout or bubble noodles, or Joan comes to deliver them every day. Every day, I either lie on the sofa or spend the whole day, or I hang QQ on the computer and scroll through Weibo.
One by one, the new neighbors came to the door, and when they met a couple, or the person who came was a man, he himself went up to greet him. But when he met a good-looking girl, he chose to close the door and let Qiao Xia, who couldn't socialize, come to greet him. Later, he found out that Qiao Xia not only had a habit of cleanliness but also asthma, and sprayed a medicine bottle into his mouth every day from time to time. made him unconsciously attribute Qiao Xia to a frail porcelain doll. In addition, Qiao Xia has white skin and a good face, which looks more like a porcelain doll on the surface, so he must be careful every time he talks to Qiao Xia, porcelain dolls are fragile.
But it's useless to be careful, Qiao Xia's mouth is sometimes very hurtful, once Qiao Xia received the ice cream given to him by Qiao An, and was seen by the thirsty Qiao Yang before he tore it open, and then said righteously: "Girls will get fat if they eat too much ice cream", Qiao Xia looked at the ice cream, and then looked at him, and then handed the ice cream in his hand: "I don't like it, eat ice." ”
Qiao Yang took the ice cream, directly tore open the package and took a bite, thinking that if Qiao Xia cheated on him, he would not go back, this ice cream had already been made by him as his own exclusive mark, so he said his own words and said: "You don't eat, don't tease, you little girls like to eat this thing", said and took a bite of enjoyment in front of her with a cheap expression.
Qiao Xia came over and patted his bulging belly, people haven't exercised well in middle age, plus they are lying at home eating and drinking these days, it is inevitable that they will eat a beer belly, Qiao Xia patted his stomach and said seriously: "It's a person who eats ice cream will get fat, you robbed the little girl of what she likes to eat, no wonder they call you uncle."
She said it seriously, and her expression was serious, as if it were true. The word 'uncle' is irreproducibly engraved in Qiao Yang's taboo dictionary, he looked at the ice cream in his hand, looked at Qiao Xia again, swallowed his saliva with mixed feelings, and then there was no follow-up.
Qiao An is looking for Qiao Xia every time she comes, Qiao Yang gradually feels that his place in Qiao An's heart is about to be replaced by Qiao Xia, and she can't help muttering to Qiao Xia in her heart, just like a child who has just had younger siblings, and is unhappy to find that his parents only spoil his younger siblings.
He couldn't show his displeasure, after all, Qiao Xia was his own daughter, so what reason did he have to be unhappy. But every time Qiao An comes, he must lie on the sofa, pretending to have a stomachache, or hiding in the toilet and not coming out, the purpose is really afraid of pulling him to interview for a job, he is not without a concept of life, but he has a dream, if he takes root in the repertory troupe and finds another job, he will be far away from his dream, Qiao Yang suddenly felt that he had become tall in the things of his dreams, and decided to fight Qiao An to the end.
After half a month, Qiao Yang's gauze should have been taken off a long time ago, he rubbed his eyes, getting used to the half-month life of one eye, thinking, today is finally the time to open meat, the building near the water has the first month, so he started from the neighbor next door.
He looked in the mirror and thought about it, and suddenly there was a scar on the spot where his right eye had been hit, and he almost pressed his face to the mirror, trying to look at the scar on his face.
The scar is not very big, but it is infinitely magnified in his eyes.
Qiao Xia walked over and touched him carefully: "You are healed, you have the face to go to school with me."
Qiao Yang looked at Qiao Xia and was stunned, pointing to the inconspicuous scar on his face: "Do you think I can still go like this?"
Qiao Xia leaned closer and looked at the place Qiao Yang pointed to on his face, a faint scar, which was not very conspicuous if he didn't look carefully: "You can just cover it with your hair."
"What do you mean to cover it", Qiao Yang's bangs are kept, but before he used to go out every day, he would spray mousse to set the shape, just to be mental, good-looking, he thinks that the best thing he looks outside his eyes and nose is his forehead, white and tender and full, being covered by bangs is not equal to his forehead being covered, and part of his handsomeness on his face is covered, no, this is absolutely not good.
"How can I cover my forehead", Qiao Yang looked at the mirror and straightened his bangs, feeling that they looked annoying now, so he picked them up indiscriminately, and after a few strokes, they still fell disobediently, so he kept fiddling.
Qiao Xia suddenly spoke upright, and directly asked Qiao Yang to make a choice: "So, do you want to go or not to go to our school."
Qiao Yang didn't seem to notice Qiao Xia's reaction, and continued to comb her hair and said, "I'll talk about it when my scar heals." It's a scar, not a wound. A scabbed wound, even if it is dug up, it will be bloody, and it can be a few days when it is healed.
The last time I promised to remove the gauze, this time I dragged the scar again. Qiao Xia is not good-tempered, she now knows that Qiao Yang is not going because of his scars, but because he is unwilling to go.
Qiao Xia was helpless, carefully put the school admission book in her hand on the table, and deliberately stared at Qiao Yang for a long time before saying in a low tone: "Do you know how my mother said you in front of her newlywed husband, Qiao Yang, you haven't grown up at all."
After Qiao Xia said this, he silently went back to the room, the admission book on the table was lying upright, Qiao Yang seemed to be an inconsequential theater watcher, he looked at the name of the school above, his daughter should be happy to go to such a good high school, but he has been out of ordinary people's thinking and reactions. He reached out to pick up the admission letter, but his hand hung in the air for a long time and then retracted, wandering around on the couch, remembering what Suman had said to her new husband.
Not long after, Qiao An also rushed over because she knew about it, and immediately had the urge to smoke Qiao Yang.
But the hand that had just been raised fell on Qiao Yang and put it down gently, he roared: "Qiao Yang, your uncle, does Xiao Xia know that the school has been delayed for a few days for your business, not only do you refuse to go but also don't accommodate others, I really haven't seen a parent like you."
"Why not, isn't that how your dad treated me", Qiao Yang quibbled dissatisfied. Isn't Qiao An's father Qiao Yang's father, both of them are born to the same father, but Qiao Yang will always call their father your father and your father in front of Qiao An, as if Qiao An's father is not his.
Qiao An was used to Qiao Yang calling their father like this, and she didn't want to fight with him now, so she could only say again: "If you really learn from him, aren't you afraid that you will become him."
"I am", Qiao Yang just wanted to say something, but he said three words and didn't follow, and then he was stunned for a few seconds, sorted out his words, and was stunned when he opened his mouth and wanted to say it.
Qiao An saw that she had found a breakthrough, and suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "Qiao Xia wants you to go, isn't it because you are her father, and you still make other people's little girls sad." Do you really want her to hate you as much as you hate our dad?"
Qiao Yang didn't want to say anything, squatted down, pondered for a long time, and said that it was natural for a kid to be like Lao Tzu, but Qiao Yang didn't want to admit it, Qiao An knew.
Qiao Yang only came out of his stomach for a long time: "Cheng, then I'll go", after speaking, he lay on the sofa, touched his head, and a pain from his heart led to his brain, and now his annoying head hurts.
After hearing the promise, Qiao An smiled in his heart, and he could also give Qiao Xia an explanation, quietly pushed open the door and left, and no longer bothered him. He didn't know if this uncle, who was a father again, could wake up, this was a process that needed to be taught to him little by little.
