Chapter 125: The Past (1)
The New Year's mood has become more and more muted with the ban on fireworks, but the meaning of reunion behind the festival has taken root in people's hearts and will not fade away.
The days of getting together are always short, and before they know it, they stay for a week, and it's time for the two to sort out their emotions, pack up and go home.
Although Jiang Yi said no, she still couldn't dissuade the woman who had to come to the hotel to see her off, Mother Yang held Jiang Yi's arm, and at this time, she was babbling endless instructions in her ear as if she had been clockwork.
Sometimes those words of concern, especially the reluctant expressions of the elders at parting, and the eyes with tears always make people a little confused.
I couldn't stand these emotional catharsis the most, and at this time, my hand was tightly held by the woman in her rough and warm palm, Jiang Yi couldn't help but be a little moved, so she looked up at Shao Jun and said:
"You put your things in the car first, and I'll say a few more words to my mother."
Shao Jun answered, dragged the suitcase out of the door, stood in front of the elevator and couldn't help but glance back at her,
I just feel that although Jiang Yi hasn't revealed anything in the past few days, he seems to know her better, and he has been thinking about what Jiang Yi said that night, and he often thinks about it these days,
…… She didn't live here when she was a child, so what was Jiang Yi's biological father, who he had never met, like?
"What's wrong?" Sensing his gaze, Jiang Yi raised his eyes and glanced at him,
"Oh, it's nothing," Shao Jun smiled, "I'll go down first." ”
……
.
Although she knew that she shouldn't talk too much, Mother Yang couldn't help but ask,
"Girl, have you planned when you plan to get married? Why don't you find someone to help you calculate your days? ”
Jiang Yi stopped her, and his tone was a little stern,
"Mom, if you ask like this again, I'm afraid I'll have to be afraid of marriage, I'll do these things myself, okay?"
Probably as the separation was approaching, the emotions in her heart suddenly surged, and the woman's nose was sore, and she said with tears in her eyes:
"Mom is, she just cares about you and wants to do something for you."
Hearing the sound of "concern", Jiang Yi seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly frowned.
Mother Yang couldn't restrain her emotions, raised her hand and began to wipe her tears, she had always been the most unbearable to this kind of tear offensive, Jiang Yi's brows furrowed tighter, she bit her lower lip and said:
"Actually, you don't have to keep thinking about what to compensate, those are all in the past."
Hearing this, the woman couldn't help but gasp, and stronger emotions filled her brain, she looked at Jiang Yi beside her, and said in an apologetic tone:
"Mom just thinks ...... I owe a little in the past, and I think that I can participate in every step of your life in the future. At least until my mother dies, I can spend more time with you, and ...... the ones that I lacked when I was a child."
"Mom," Jiang Yi stopped her suddenly, "You don't have to feel indebted, and you don't have to feel sorry for me, I can understand."
You don't need to feel guilty because of those thoughts before, I don't care about that, really. ”
"Xiaoyi ......"
Jiang Yi pretended to smile lightly and pulled her arm out of her arms, "Okay, I'm fine, mom, go back, you don't need to send me." ”
"Then you, be careful on the road." The woman's concerned gaze was mixed with a hint of sorrow.
"I know."
When the words fell, Jiang Yi immediately turned her face and walked forward, the woman took a deep breath, and stood in place with her left hand and her right hand for a long time, looking at her departing figure,
The woman pursed her lips and felt as if her heart had been hit hard, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and the back in front of her became more and more blurred.
Jiang Yi walked around the corner hurriedly, but just happened to bump into Shao Jun's figure coming over, she raised her eyes and glanced at him, and saw the other party smile and said:
"I forgot to take something, I'll go to the room to look for it, you go back to the car and wait first, okay?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi's eyes moved, and he responded lightly, "Hmm."
Seeing that she was walking away, Shao Jun put away Fang Cai's relaxed expression, and his face became serious.
In fact, he heard the conversation between the mother and daughter just now, he was originally curious about the relationship between Jiang Yi and her parents, and now he wants to find out more and more about what happened to her in the past, and these doubts can't be known from Jiang Yi's mouth, so he can only get answers from other people.
……
In the room, the woman seemed to be very sentimental, standing in place with her head hanging and picking her nails, Shao Jun walked towards her, and asked in a soft tone:
"Auntie, can I talk to you?"
"Ah...... It's Xiaojun. Mother Yang raised her head and smiled at him, "Okay, what do you want to talk to Auntie?" ”
Shao Jun politely raised his hand and pointed to the soft seat of the sofa beside him, "Please sit down, sit down and talk." ”
"Eh, okay."
"Can you tell me about Jiang Yi's past?" Shao Jun said: "And about her biological father." ”
Hearing this, Mother Yang's pupils shrank, her face was a little embarrassed and she didn't speak for a long time, she lowered her eyes and thought about it for a while, but she still spoke:
"Since you've asked so, I'm ...... I'll tell you all. She sorted out her emotions for a moment, and then continued:
"Jiang Yi is a sensitive child, and he has been observant since he was a child, and I quarreled with my ex-husband all day long after the divorce at that time, and I privately discussed several times who she should award after the two of us left.
In fact, adults can feel the minds of children, they don't cry or make trouble on the surface, and their hearts are like mirrors."
Shao Jun nodded, listening intently to her continue,
"Divorced, Jiang Yi followed her father, my ex-husband is a restaurant owner, a good gambler and an alcoholic, a good one will not have a bad habit, he fights with people at two ends in three days, and when he has no money, he steals and robs it, and I don't know how Jiang Yi lived with her father at that time."
The woman hung her head, her face full of guilt,
"So Jiang Yi was very rebellious in the past, she belongs to the kind of child who is very smart, but has a strong rebellious mentality."
…… No wonder. Shao Jun twisted his eyebrows.
"At that time, Jiang Yi was eleven or twelve years old, and I knew that her father was not a thing, and he couldn't take care of the child at all, but I, my life was also very difficult, the working conditions were poor and the salary was low, and I couldn't afford to support another child.
At that time, I thought, wait for me to work hard for a few more years, and then take Jiang Yi back when my living conditions are better. ”
After listening to Shao Jun, he suddenly asked: "You have no conditions, Jiang Yi and her father, and I didn't want to accept her at that time, did you?" ”
Hearing this, Yang's mother's eyes darkened, and she lowered her eyes and stopped talking.
"Go on."
The woman sighed and said:
"Later, I met Lao Luo and re-established a family with him, he was a civil servant, his salary was good, and his life was richer after that, but at that time, I, hey, I was also confused, so I wanted to start a new life, and I broke off the connection with the previous ones that should not have been."
Shao Jun raised his eyebrows, "So you've thought about giving up Jiang Yi?" ”
"I ......," the woman brushed the shredded hair that covered her eyes in front of her forehead, "I went to my ex-husband's house that day, and I took the doll to find her, I think girls like those things, and I really don't know her at all."
At that time, I took Jiang Yi's hand and said to her shamelessly, 'Mom has met a new person and has a new job, you see, Mom will pay you every month in the future?' ’”
As she spoke, the woman covered her face with her hand.
"I still remember the look in her eyes at that time, empty, as if all hope and expectation had been shattered into it, her face was small and pale, I looked at her, my heart hurt so much, I felt that I was wrong, I was really wrong.
I knew she was disappointed in me, but Jiang Yi didn't say anything, she just hung her head and stared at the concrete floor of the house full of footprints, as if she had lost her soul.
At that time I felt like my heart had been whipped like a whip, how could I think like that, how could I think of abandoning her?
If you have a good life, you will throw away the child as a burden, what is this not a beast? Isn't it as good as her father who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles! ”
After saying the call, the woman's twisted heart seemed to have finally been relieved, he raised his eyes to look at Shao Jun and said:
"She hasn't talked to me about the past for so many years, and I told her that she always avoids it, saying that she doesn't care, it doesn't matter, but I know that how can these things be okay with holding it in my heart, the injury is good, but the scar has always been there!"
"Aunt Yang."
Shao Jun took a deep breath, and didn't know how to comfort the sobbing woman in front of him for a while,
Mother Yang wiped her eyes and said:
"It's old, it's a little ...... Can't control your emotions. I'm fine, Xiaojun, Auntie just wants to tell you, don't look at Jiang Yi's stubborn temper, but she is really insecure, and sometimes the words she says may not be sincere.
Promise Auntie that you will treat her well in the future, okay? ”
Shao Jun stared into her eyes without blinking, and said affectionately and seriously:
"I know, I will."
……
Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi......
Silently reciting her name in his heart, Shao Jun eagerly searched for Jiang Yi's figure, and couldn't wait to see her immediately,
I don't know why, at this moment, the shadow of Jiang Yi's childhood appeared in his mind, so distant but extremely profound,
She bowed her body, squatting in the dirty dark corner with her legs crossed, looking so thin, and her thin clothes printed the protruding spine on her back, which made her heart ache to look at.
At this moment, he really wanted to rush over and hug her immediately, even if she stubbornly pushed himself away, he would definitely not let go.
Shao Jun raised his eyes, and suddenly saw Jiang Yi leaning against the car door with his arms crossed, looking into the distance in a daze at the moment, and his thin figure in the cold wind looked very petite.
His heart palpitated, his steps gradually slowed down, and he looked at her with unstaggering eyes,
…… Cold and lonely, sensitive and sharp, it turns out that you are such a person.
Staring at her figure, Shao Jun was even breathing eagerly, thanks to Mother Yang who told him Jiang Yi's past, if he didn't ask today, I'm afraid Jiang Yi wouldn't tell him these things in his life.
"Jiang Yi, why don't you go in, it's so cold outside......"
"My mom talked to you." Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yi asked, his eyes were extremely sharp.
