Chapter Seventy-One: The Father in Memory
I remember my father as a child, a charismatic man, erudite, elegant, and humorous, and he met my mother. Judging from my mother's emotional experience of becoming a benevolent person without success twice, such a daughter-in-law was not shot at the stall, and she really has to celebrate.
Life is like a phone call, either you hang up first or I hang up first. I held my phone in a daze, inadvertently thinking about his speech and demeanor, his voice and smile, as well as the grievances and sufferings that my sister and I have suffered in the past few years, and tears poured out uncontrollably.
I can't say it, he is the man who loves me in the world, but at the moment I can't recognize him, whether as a son, a daughter or a so-called "daughter-in-law". I look very similar to my mom when I was younger, and I don't know if he will tell me that I am actually "my" long-lost sister.
What a bloody plot setting! It should be so hard that I can't take care of myself.
My dad spoke quite reservedly, and his tone was full of thoughts and praise for "me", but I couldn't say anything. The son becomes a daughter, how nonsense it sounds, and I don't know if he can accept it.
I was afraid that I couldn't help it, so in the end I hung up the phone first. Even though I was shaking and swishing, my sister still noticed the clue, she pulled the short-sleeved crewneck shirt that I threw dry, frowned at me: "Why are you crying?" ”
I wiped my tears: "I may never go back for the rest of my life." ”
I don't need my sister's persuasion, in fact, I don't think there's anything wrong with being a girl. I can make money to share the pressure of my sister's life, and I have a better face and body than before, and I can entertain myself...... But I'm not a heartless little sister after all, and I have a good memory. Although I don't complain much about my sister, seventeen years of boyhood are not unavoidable.
My sister turned her back to me, silently hung the clothes one by one on the lifting hanger on the balcony, and said quietly: "Are you dissatisfied with your current life?" ”
I thought about it in a daze, shook my head and whispered, "No." ”
My sister said: "There is nothing wrong with being a woman, you see that I am a woman, and Carmine is also a woman, are you embarrassed to be a man?" ”
My sister said, "Are you afraid that in the future I will let you marry?" ”
I sat on the couch with my head down and didn't speak, just like I felt like I was being lectured by a class teacher.
After waiting for about a minute, my sister continued to comfort me while putting on her clothes: "I won't force you to marry, don't worry." ”
It's not a question of marrying or not marrying at all, I used to be a carefree little change. state, despite the constraints of life; Now, or for the rest of my life, I'll inadvertently remember that I used to be a little witch of the other gender. In the prologue of Lin Miaowu's "Daughter Sutra", it is written: There are two things in this world that are the most disgusting, dog lovers and transformation texts.
I'm half, and I seem to be the main character.
I didn't tell her that I had received a call from our father, and since he knew my phone number, she must have said it. My sister didn't resent our dad as much as she resented our mom, even though he was equally out of tune.
My sister comforted me with chatter, "Actually, I don't want you to get married, since you changed from my brother to my sister, I see that no one owes ...... beating."
"Especially the guy in our community who speaks bird language in the yard every day, he used to look very cute, but now he wants to get started......"
I think of the little Zhengtai that I can see every morning in the Phoenix community, and I thought he was practicing Vietnamese, but in fact, people are talking about Fu. In the dialect, I can still vaguely understand the three words "roast mice". The point is, he's still a kid, at most eight. Nine years old.
But he did say that when he grows up, he will marry me and have children. At the time, I thought it was funny, and I asked with a shy face, "Why do you have a baby, do you sell roasted rats with you?" He gave me a blank look, and said with disdain that I was a turtle, mixed with more incomprehensible keywords such as "lobster" and "skin brother".
After that, I ignored my sister, and my sister fell silent after a while. After washing clothes, she sat on the sofa in the living room and read a book, and I lay like a cripple and didn't want to do anything, and my sister didn't take care of me. Life, as always, is boring and full of memories.
When it was almost noon, I received a call from Zhou Yingxue, who wanted to book a private room in Jinyan to ask someone to sing and ask me to serve them. Zhou Yingxue is the person Wang Jiali hates the most in the whole school, not because she is beautiful and jealous, but because Lao Wang is very hypocritical and looks down on other people's delicate, soft body, and voice. After learning that I gave another membership card to Zhou Yingxue, Wang Jiali greeted her indignantly for more than half an hour.
Not in front of people, of course.
This afternoon, I found Carmine in Jin Yan Zhouya's office. She was sitting on the sofa chair with Erlang's legs crossed, and the old god was talking to a tall and handsome young man with red lips and white teeth. When she saw me, she stopped.
Zhou Ya was not there, and I keenly noticed that some changes had taken place in this office. Many of Zhou Ya's things in the past have disappeared, and instead some items with obvious male characteristics are neatly placed.
Bao Hong beckoned to me and said to the young man, "This is my sister, I will leave Jin Yan to her in the future, and when I am not there in the future, you will be responsible for her." ”
The young man's dark and pure eyes looked at me and smiled at me: "Please take care of the little boss Bao in the future." "The sound is both calm and magnetic.
I nodded and walked over to Scarlet. The scarlet round little hand grabbed my palm, held it and pinched it, turned over and looked at the watch on my wrist, and asked me with a smile: "School is about to start, right?" Don't go out of the motions, I'll give you that office. The Xingye Building is about to be completed, and I still have a lot to do, so I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here anymore. ”
Baohong pointed to the respectful but unflattering young man standing at the desk and said, "He can help you, and if you are hesitant about anything, ask him." You also have to learn to manage by yourself, and it doesn't matter if you lose, it's up to you. There are so many things in our house, I can't see them alone. ”
My heart was beating "plopping", not because Baohong wanted me to be in charge of such a huge field as Jinyan, but because I thought of Zhou Ya for a moment, and couldn't help but ask with a white face: "What about Sister Zhou Ya?" ”
Scarlet squinted and smiled, took my hand and stood up and walked outside: "Go to our house and talk." ”
The afternoon sun is like a waterfall falling in nine days, making this already hot and dry season. The small figure of Scarlet was reflected in front of the window, her big eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth made me wonder what to do.
She closed the curtain with a "bang", and the cool air from the air conditioner in the room instantly solidified a lot.
She seems to be in a good mood today, with her small body embedded in the sofa, stacked with bright and swaying short legs, and a face of wisdom beads in her hand.
"Zhou Ya has been transferred to Junhai Tower, and I plan to let my lady go over there to exercise."
Hearing that it wasn't what I imagined that Baohong had dismissed Zhou Ya, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If she had made those decisions, I wouldn't have been able to persuade her. Carmine wasn't as strict with me as my sister, and she wouldn't reprimand me, but after all, she had a short mouth.
However, I am quite hesitant now: "My sisters have received too much favor from you, and I am afraid that they will not be able to pay it off in their lifetime." Besides, my sister and I don't understand these things at all, and if we leave them to us, we will lose them in a few days. ”
Bao Hong stretched out her lotus root-like arms to wrap her arms around my neck: "No one is born to know, don't they all learn, it doesn't matter if you lose a little, we are not separated from this for a few days." And ......" Baohong shook her white and tender fingers: "Don't say that, I'm just two relatives like you, where can I use your favor?" ”
I said, "I'm almost starting school, my senior year of high school." ”
Baohong said: "You don't have to be there all the time, let Wang Ning watch it for you when you are in class, and deal with it when you get out of class." After a pause, she said: "Your sister and I didn't expect you to go to any prestigious university, and don't leave any regrets when you see and see the beautiful college life." You say, we have everything in our family, why do we have to start by sweeping the floor for others? ”
I'm speechless, life is life, why do you have to bring a color. A childish voice? I really want to drag this unserious little guy out of the soup!
Although the building was crooked, I shook my head and rejected her proposal. I studied that I was not ranked among the thousands of troops who crossed the single-plank bridge, and there was no hope for a prestigious university, so it didn't matter if I came back when I saw the world. But I don't think I can borrow the identity of Sister Scarlet to accept her expectations, I am only seventeen years old, and I didn't know the difference between infantry and cavalry just over half a month ago. People are self-aware, you let me take care of such a big business, just kidding! That's not how losers play.
Carmine didn't say anything more, but quietly took out a taupe paper bag from the drawer, untied the thin thread wrapped around the white buckle, pulled out a stack of paper and handed it to me.
"What is this? Xi'er's deed of sale? "I don't know.
Bao Hong shook the stack of papers, raised her little face and said, "The signed contract that Jin Yan transferred to you." ”
I was stunned, it was indeed Jin Yan's transfer contract, and it also signed my and Baohong's names, but I didn't understand much of the professional and obscure words and phrases on that page, with my ability to see short and long hair! And, when did I sign on this? It's still a woman's name---- Chen Jiu.
"When I gave you a new identity, I asked you to add an extra year to your household registration, so that you can justifiably be Jinyan's legal person."
I was dumbfounded: "I didn't remember signing such a contract, did you bully me for not knowing the law?" To get a bank card, you have to go to the counter with your ID card. ”
Bao Hong said: "That's an ordinary person, I used your ID card to do it before." I also helped you get a few bank cards. She poured out four or five colorful bank cards from the paper bag like a blue and fat man, and my mouth couldn't close in surprise.
She said: "Don't think nonsense, the reason why I handed over Jin Yan to you is because you are my sister." Jin Yan is an industry founded by my father, but I also have a stepmother, who married my father with her son back then, and according to the law, he also has the right to inherit. You don't want to think about it, can I put Jin Yan in the hands of someone I hate to the core? ”
"You can ask for it yourself, didn't your father leave it for you?"
The red ruddy mouth grinned slightly, and he smiled: "I robbed Jin Yan, I handed it over to you to let you practice, what we have in our own hands, even if the play is broken, why give it to others for nothing!" ”
Thinking about it carefully, there are still many loopholes in her words, and I was shocked by my care, causing my IQ to plummet below one meter. I don't understand why she trusts me and my sister so much, is it really just that blood is thicker than water? She really didn't have time to take care of the three properties, and then how could it fall into the hands of her son brought by her stepmother?
I wasn't stunned by the big pie that fell from the sky, but I was shamefully eroded by the scarlet coquettish cuteness. When my hand touched her soft little belly, listened to her comfortable humming and chirping, and what Zhou Ya told me about her physical disability, I couldn't bear to refuse anymore.
No matter what she does to others, what she robs of others, and what she makes others become, she is always my sister. I can feel her love for me, and it is no worse than my sister Chen Boochen's love for me.
