After hanging up the phone, the dean picked up the red wine on the table, shook it lightly a few times, took a sip, and looked up at the sky, as if thinking about something······

In the Qingyi Bar, Xu fell asleep because Ah Qiang hadn't drunk for five years, and he didn't drink much today.

Gu Jiu, who was sitting on the side, also looked helpless, and after settling the bill, he helped Ah Qiang out of the bar.

After walking away for a while, Ah Qiang really cried out with a "wow" as Gu Jiu said.

“······” I must be stupid to let you drink..." Don't cry! ”

Hearing Gu Jiu's shout, the people on the side of the road looked over one after another, and Ah Qiang instantly stopped his tears, but after a while, he cried even more.

“······ I'm convinced of you" Gu Jiu didn't care if Ah Qiang was crying or not, he directly held up his arm and pulled him forward like that.

There is a reason why the old place that was discovered before is in a cul-de-sac, mainly because Cuong's mother lives nearby, and Cuong's father died not long ago, and Cuong and his mother have lived together since then.

But in recent years, because Cuong felt that he had no interest and wanted to go out for a while, he moved out of the house, leaving his mother to live there alone, and as a result, he has not succeeded in breaking or anything, and Cuong has not had the face to go back to that home, so he has been staying with his brother who has a better relationship here...

"Or go... Auntie's house, it's close to here anyway."

Gu Jiu thought about it and decided to go to Ah Qiang's mother.

Along the way, Ah Qiang cried non-stop, and did not continue until he was a little tired from crying, but quietly grabbed Gu Jiu's hand.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, I faintly saw a small light bulb hanging from the door of a room, which looked so dilapidated that it might fall to the ground if it was moved.

"Buckle Buckle"

Gu Jiu walked outside the door of the room and tapped lightly on the door a few times.

"Buckle Buckle"

Seeing that no one answered, he knocked a few more times.

At this time, the woman who was sitting in the room slowly answered, "Who is it?" That's it."

The voice is hoarse

"Auntie is me"

Gu Jiu replied outside the door.

The "click" door was opened, and it was made of wood, and when it opened, it was loud and some dust was dropped.

"It turned out to be Xiao Jiu, I haven't seen you for many years, and you look so slim."

The woman looked at Gu Jiu stunned for a few seconds before she reacted and said.

"Hello Auntie"

After Gu Jiu politely said hello, he nodded.

"What is this?"

The woman quickly noticed Ah Qiang behind Gu Jiu, but at this time, Ah Qiang lowered his head very quietly, and the woman didn't recognize it, so she asked suspiciously.

Gu Jiu pulled Ah Qiang, who was holding his hand, in front and said, "It's Ah Qiang, you haven't seen him for a long time, I want to take this opportunity to bring him back." ”

It was only then that the woman recognized that this was her son, who had suddenly said four years ago that she was going to go out for a while, but had never heard from her, except to send money home from time to time, but had never called.

For a while, the woman's eyes were red, the whole person was flustered and excited, her longing son finally returned, although in this way, but the woman's eyes were full of indescribable excitement, her hands had nowhere to place, but her eyes could not leave Ah Qiang for a moment.

"Quick, come in first, help Cuong to the bedroom first"

"Good"

Gu Jiu nodded, then dragged Ah Qiang to the back and walked slowly, and the woman also helped Ah Qiang into the bed in the bedroom.

About three minutes later, Ah Qiang fell asleep, and Gu Jiu and the woman were also sitting on a chair in the living room.

Gu Jiu had only seen Ah Qiang's mother once, and that was the first time Ah Qiang introduced his friend to his mother, and after so many years, the name could still be remembered, Gu Jiu was also very surprised.

"I'm sorry Auntie, I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring anything..."

At this moment, Gu Jiu also seemed a little flustered, because the woman looked much older than when Gu Jiu first saw her.

"Whereever, it's too late for you to come to Auntie's happiness, and ah, you can't bring anything next time."

The woman's eyes were full of love when she looked at Gu Jiu, picked up the water cup on the table, poured some water, handed it to Gu Jiu and continued: "Didn't Ah Qiang quit drinking five years ago? Why are you drinking it again now?"

"He ······" Gu Jiu looked at the woman's worried eyes and continued, "It's better for you to ask him personally."

"Ahh In this way, Cuong didn't cause you too much trouble."

"No, no, Aqiang... I miss you so much."

Gu Jiu smiled, put his hand in front of him and waved

"Missing? But Ah Qiang has never returned to this home, is he afraid of something? ”

When the woman heard the word missing, her eyes were a little more stunned, and she suddenly smiled slightly and continued: "I don't want money in my life, I just want to be in... I have seen others who are able to ······ with their own sons when they have a reunion dinner Spend it"

Gu Jiu suddenly had a sour nose, touched his nose lightly and said, "Auntie, I'll come to see you next time." ”

"Okay, go slowly..."

The woman sent Gu Jiu outside the door, her eyes were full of reluctance, and only after Gu Jiu walked a little farther away did she slowly close the door and walk towards the bedroom.

The woman who walked into the bedroom, pulled a chair and put it next to the bed, and went out and brought in a basin of water and a towel, the basin of water was placed on the chair, the woman gently wiped Cuong's forehead, and then took the water out, in order to prevent Cuong from crying thirsty in the middle of the night, the woman poured a cup of boiled water in advance and put it on the bedside table.

After that, the woman sat on the chair and quietly looked at the sleeping person in front of her, until her eyelids were a little tired, and then she slowly closed her eyes and sat down on the chair and fell asleep.

At half past six in the morning, Cuong woke up, touched his head that was about to burst, and touched his swollen eyes from crying, slowly sat up on the bed, and looked around, both "strange" and familiar.

Soon, his eyes fell on the woman sitting in the chair, her eyes were closed, and her head shook slightly from time to time, just as the woman's head was about to hang down.

Cuong propped up his somewhat weak body and got out of bed, but soon, Cuong, who had just gotten out of bed, couldn't stand for a while and fell to the ground, followed by the glass of water on the bedside table that he grabbed and accidentally fell to the ground.

The sound of the "pong" cup falling to the ground quickly woke up, and looking at Cuong who had fallen to the ground, the woman shouted, "Be careful! Be careful that the glass slag gets in your hands, go to bed first."

After the woman finished speaking, she helped Cuong up and sat back on the bed, and immediately ran out to pick up a broom and a broom to clean up the floor.

"If you want to drink water, call your mother, isn't your mother useless in your heart?" The woman questioned.

"No... It's not."

Tears began to flow uncontrollably from Cuong's eyes again, and a choked voice came

"How... What's wrong..., is it that what Mom said is too heavy? ”

The woman put down the broom and broom, and hurriedly sat down beside Cuong to comfort her.

"No... It's okay, I'm just so happy to see you out of the blue. ”

In Cuong's impression, his mother has always been a very loving person, even if Cuong suddenly said that he was going out for a break four years ago, his mother did not stop him, but gave all his savings to Cuong, and silently supported him behind his back, but he was beaten by the society in less than half a year, and he has been living abroad and dare not go home...

"Why don't you tell your mother when you come back?"

The woman didn't dare to ask why she hadn't come back after four years, she was afraid that if she asked, Cuong should leave again.

"I ······"

For a while, Ah Qiang couldn't say, because he had no plans to come back, and he didn't dare to come back after doing nothing outside in the past few years.

"If you can't say it, don't say it, just come back, just come back." The woman was in a trance for about a few seconds and then continued, "Next time... Next time you go, be sure... To come back and see... All right? ”

The woman's pleading eyes were cast on Cuong.

"I'm back... I won't leave..."

"Really?"

The woman let out an exclamation, her eyes glinting.

Cuong nodded and replied, "Hmm."

——

At half past eight in the morning, Gu Jiu went to the newspaper office as usual

As soon as he walked into the newspaper office, Chen Xin, who arrived earlier than Gu Jiu, waved his hand at Gu Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, I have good news, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Isn't this nonsense? Of course you listen, who doesn't listen to the good news? ”

Gu Jiu sat back at work, slowly took down his bag and put it on the table.

"Then your ears come together"

Chen Xin hooked his fingers and motioned for Gu Jiu to lean his ears over.

"What's the matter, so mysterious?"

Although Gu Jiu said this, he still leaned his ears over.

"You...... You've turned right! ”

Chen Xin whispered excitedly in Gu Jiu's ear

"Really...... It's true? You heard that! You didn't lie to me, did you? I've been working for less than a month."

"Amazing! How dare I lie to you about this kind of thing! ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu hesitated for two seconds and said, "I don't believe it, I think you're lying to me!" ”

"Whew...! If you don't believe it, forget it, you won't be too happy when the notice comes down in a few days. ”

Chen Xin clasped his hands in front of his chest, pursed his lips, and glanced to the other side.

"Then I'll wait, but where did you hear about it?" Gu Jiu asked suspiciously.

"When I passed by the pantry in the morning, I heard someone talking, so I hid by the wall... Overheard..."

“…… You also believe this, should I say that you are stupid or stupid? ”

Gu Jiu lightly knocked on Chen Xin's head and said with a smile.

Chen Xin couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah! Xiao Jiu, why are you knocking on my head, it hurts."

"Do you know the pain?"

"Of course, but then you owe me ice cream!"

Chen Xin looked at Gu Jiu with a wicked smile.

"What does this have to do with ice cream? Ahem, but then again, the ice cream is at the end of S Street, which is so long, I won't stop you if you want to go. ”

"Wow! Xiao Jiu, you have been there, and you don't look for me, so there is no freshness of going for the first time! You really don't love me anymore! ”

Chen Xin took out a tissue, wiped his eyes, and pretended to be crying.

"Okay, okay, do you think I can't see it? Just go to S Street this weekend! ”

"Okay"

Hearing this, Chen Xin cheered happily.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the editor-in-chief walked in through the door

"What's the noise? Still not working well? ”

The editor-in-chief's eyes were sharp, and his eyes swept over.
