Chapter Twenty-Five: A Cruel Past

Listening to Long Shanshan finally talk a lot, Zhang Heng asked, "Your father is no longer here?" ”

"Well, he left the year before last, and he was not in good health...... Long Shanshan's eyes suddenly turned a little red.

Zhang Heng suddenly called out to Zhang Shuqiu and said, "Xiaoqiu, when Shanshan goes back to see her father next time, let's go together, we have to thank others!" ”

Zhang Shuqiu didn't know what she was thinking, and when she heard Zhang Heng call her, she came back to her senses and responded, "Okay, I know." ”

Long Shanshan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no." ”

"You kid, listening to you say this, you know that although your father is sometimes cruel to you, he is actually a good person and has a soft heart. When people are in trouble, few people are willing to lend a hand, you see your father is willing, how rare is this. Our family Xiaoqiu is thanks to meeting friends like you, as well as your parents, is your mother in good health now? Is it to live with you, or in Yunzhou? Zhang Heng asked.

"My mom didn't want to go to the mountain town with me, she said my dad was gone, and she was going to stay and take care of my brother. My brother didn't read much, his body was like that, he couldn't find a job and couldn't get a wife. Although the family has land and land, and the village pays money every year, and food and clothing are not worried, my mother is always worried that he will not be able to take care of himself alone. Long Shanshan replied.

"Parents all over the world have the same heart, and your father must also expect you to take care of your younger brother in the future." Zhang Heng nodded.

Long Shanshan nodded and said: "I know, I also specially bought another house in our community, and I want to take my mother and my brother together, otherwise this is too far away, and I want to take care of it, but it is beyond the reach of the whip." ”

"Good boy, it's hard for you, you are all middle-aged now, old and young, each with its own difficulties, I also came from your age, there are too few people who have been smooth all their lives. But no matter what happens, it's good to always look forward. How's the girl who called me now? Zhang Heng sighed and asked again.

"She's very nice, and I went back to meet her this time. She has a big business now, her children are all older, and most of them are in high school. Long Shanshan replied.

"I listened to what she said when she called me, and it was what your father said, that it was a good deal. She should have taken your mother's note and went to look at the situation near your house, and made it very clear, otherwise we wouldn't have been so alert. For a child like her, reading should be pretty good, why did her mother let her marry so early? Zhang Heng said strangely.

Zhang Shuqiu was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Auntie, why are you asking so much." ”

"I'll just ask, and besides, my aunt is grateful to her and wants to find a suitable opportunity to meet her, can't you?" Zhang Heng asked tentatively.

Long Shanshan touched Zhang Shuqiu's arm and said, "Hey, if you want to say that the three of us can play together at that time, it is actually a group to keep warm." Let's say it, Zhou Ting is better than the two of us, it should be said that it is more unbearable. She doesn't have a father, she just doesn't know who her father is, and she says that even her mother doesn't know who her father is. Her mom did that, that. Seeing that Long Shanshan and Zhang Shuqiu were embarrassed, everyone knew what it meant.

"She was transferred from the first semester of our first semester, and it turned out to be in another place, when the anti-pornography sweep was very strong, and her mother had no livelihood, so she came back to her hometown. But her grandfather's family wouldn't let them go home, so her mother had to rent a house outside, and she rented it next door to my house. When their family was most embarrassed, people sent briquettes, and her mother didn't have the money to give them, so she ......," Long Shanshan said more astringently.

"At that time, she and I often didn't have money to eat and didn't want to go home. Xiaoqiu often took the two of us to dinner, and the three of us played together.

It's our classmates in the school, either from our village or from the surrounding units, the place is so big, what is the situation with each other, the classmates probably know that the three of us were bullied at the beginning, and then after a long time, we don't like to play with other classmates, and we don't bother to care what others say......"

Long Shanshan said simply, of course several people also understood how difficult it is for girls to grow up like this, Zhang Heng listened more and more straight, Long Shanshan looked at her expression, and said that Ai Ai Ai was overdue.

How do you know that Zhang Heng suddenly broke out: "Zhang Shuqiu, you dead girl, when your mother remarried, I asked you to follow me, but you just didn't nod, this is how you were abused in junior high school?" If your father knew, he would be so angry that he would jump out of the dirt for fear of death. You still tell me good news and don't report bad news, only say that it is good, this is how you are doing? ”

The four of them watched Zhang Heng get angry together, and they were a little stunned for a while. Yu Chuan was pulled by Qu Yingying, and suddenly came back to his senses and said: "Auntie, Auntie, don't get angry, don't go up, look at Xiaoqiu, isn't this good here!" ”

Zhang Shuqiu looked at Zhang Heng with a cautious face, Zhang Heng glanced at the four people in front of him, took a deep breath, and held back the fire in his throat. Long Shanshan hurriedly played the round and said: "Let's talk about Zhou Ting, let's talk about Zhou Tingha." Later, I went to a technical school, Xiaoqiu went to high school, Zhou Ting got married inexplicably, and she didn't have much contact with us, and neither of us could understand why. ”

Zhang Shuqiu hurriedly asked, "Then have you figured it out now?" ”

"Uh-huh, figured it out. There was one time in the second semester of the third year of junior high school, I was not at home, and we only had my dad in the house. Their house suddenly made a lot of noise. My dad said that she suddenly ran to our house, and my dad was the only one in our house, and she knelt down and borrowed 100 yuan from my dad. My dad said that her mother didn't have the money to pay for rice, so she forced her, but she didn't want to, so she ......."

"This is also evil!" Zhang Heng sighed and said.

This quarrel was originally covered with a fig leaf, but now it was all shaken off, and she was very sad, not at home, and even more so when she went out...... Later, there was an old man who was willing to take her mother to live, but he just didn't want to support her. Her mother forced her to either get married, or to be like her mother and her mother, and ...... same as her mother" Long Shanshan said it was difficult, this kind of thing that refreshed people's moral limits, anyone who listened to it was speechless.

"Hey, this kid has a harder life than all of you." Zhang Heng sighed and said.

Long Shanshan sighed and said: "Yes, she said that Xiaoqiu and I, one of us studied at a secondary school anyway, how can we eat seriously on our own, and the other is not very serious about studying, and our grades have always been good, and they will definitely not be bad in the future, she felt at that time that it would be impossible to play with us in the future." ”

"Although it is said that birth and study can change fate, but in this world, as long as you are down-to-earth and willing to work hard, and have brains, that day will not be far behind." Zhang Heng shook his head and said.

"Well, she's doing well now, and she's a well-known businesswoman in our area. She also figured it out later, and often went to see my dad, saying that she was very grateful to my dad. Long Shanshan nodded.

"It's a good boy, does she remember Xiaoqiu?" Zhang Heng asked.

"I remember, two days ago, we drank together and talked about Xiaoqiu. She also said that if I can really find Xiaoqiu, I must remember to call her, she also wants to meet Xiaoqiu. Long Shanshan nodded.

"You call her and let me have a few words with her." Chapter Shuqiu Road.

Zhang Heng pondered for a while and said, "Shanshan, why don't you just ask her, can you come out and walk around, I also want to meet her." ”

"Okay, I'll call her, she's willing, it's a rare reunion." Long Shanshan agreed very happily.

As soon as Long Shanshan's phone rang, the other end asked, "What are you doing?" Still want to drink? ”

Long Shanshan laughed and said, "Yes, I want to drink with you again, but this time, there are more people, or guess." ”

"Did you find Xiaoqiu? No way, I believe you are a ghost, you must be making fun of me. ”

"Tingting, it's me, it's really me!"

The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and suddenly screamed: "Ah, Zhang Shuqiu, you dead man, where have you died all these years?" ”

Long Shanshan turned off the mobile phone and said, "You keep it, we are in Jiangcheng, are you coming?" If you come, you will be able to see a living person, a big living person. ”

"You, a dead woman, I'm afraid you're not looking for a nursery to sell me, you let Xiaoqiu answer the phone again, I'll make sure." Zhou Ting is obviously very close to Long Shanshan.

"If you come, you can see it, if you don't come, it's 88, you just say you can't come, right?" Long Shanshan threatened.

"Okay, okay, you send me the location. I asked for leave with our family and set off. "Zhou Ting is also a person who does what she says.

"You bring your clothes, let's stay at Xiaoqiu's house for two days, and I still have to ......," Long Shanshan instructed.

"Ah, I know, I know, you long-winded mother-in-law, I'll go pack up my things and meet again." Long Shanshan had to say something, but the other end had already hung up the phone. Long Shanshan was about to mumble a few words, but dialed the phone again: "You send me the location quickly, hurry up."

"Okay, you crazy woman." Long Shanshan scolded.

A few people here couldn't help laughing when they heard this, Zhang Heng patted the armrest of the sofa and shook his head: "It's really an emergency, okay, there are many more people tonight, I'll go and see what to eat at night, do you want to buy some more food." ”

Qu Yingying stood up and said, "Auntie, Xiaochuan and I will go back first today." ”

Zhang Shuqiu stood up and asked, "Xiaobao called you and asked you to go back today?" ”

"That's not true, my mother said that he and Cheng Ke had a good time, and when he called this morning, he was too busy to talk to me." Qu Yingying shook her head and said.

"Then what are you two anxious about? It's hard to make a trip, let's go tomorrow, go to work the day after tomorrow, and I will definitely not keep you tomorrow. Zhang Shuqiu said.

Yu Chuan said with a smile: "There are so many people, they are tired and panicked when they start cooking. ”

Zhang Heng smiled: "You two children, when did you treat yourself as a guest?" Without you, it won't be lively, and Auntie won't let you go. ”

Long Shanshan also stood up and said with a look of grievance: "Why do you have to leave as soon as I come, making me not very popular, a little hurt." ”

Several people looked at Long Shanshan's white and chubby face like an emoji, and they couldn't hold back for a while, and they all laughed. Zhang Heng pulled Qu Yingying and said, "Okay, let's go down together and see what to eat at night." ”

"There are a lot of people at night, why don't we eat hot pot." Chapter Shuqiu Road.

Zhang Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Have you bought vegetables and ingredients?" ”

"Bought it, we can make a Thai-style sour soup, we can also make a red oil pot bottom, and then make a clear soup pot, meat and shrimp are available in the refrigerator, if the vegetables are available, let the second aunt go to the field to see, no matter how enough, go to a few vegetable fields next to it to pull some." The key is to pull some leeks, I ground some meat, I can make dumplings and eat. Zhang Shuqiu counted all the things he had prepared a few days ago.

Long Shanshan looked at Zhang Shuqiu and couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Wow, you couldn't even tell the difference between leeks and wheat before, why are you so good at cooking now?" I thought you scholars would eat instant noodles every day. ”

Yu Chuan laughed and said: "Well, that's me, a delicious ghost like her, it may be a bit exaggerated for you to ask her to make you a full banquet now, but that dish is very good." ”

"That's also ha, people will change, it turns out that I cook at home every day, and then my husband in the house thinks I don't make it delicious, so I become a pure dishwasher." Long Shanshan shrunk her neck and said.

"Let's go, this coffee is cold, Yingying, you wash the cup, let's mix the stuffing and make dumplings, you can also let the second aunt send some noodles, steamed buns to eat, this year's black sesame seeds are very fragrant." Zhang Hengda went downstairs first.

"Auntie, you go and rest for a while, we'll do it ourselves." Chapter Shuqiu Road.

"Okay, I'll go and see it first, otherwise your uncle will quarrel again and say I'm lazy." Zhang Heng turned his head and raised his eyebrows, blinking.

A few people laughed and went to the courtyard, only to find that Li Guangming was playing poker with those young men, and there was a strip on his forehead. Several people were extremely excited, especially Banxia and Zhang Yunshan, Banxia seemed to have discovered a new world, and Zhang Yunshan finally found a living treasure that was easier to bully than himself. Li Yun and Ning Ye smiled brightly.

Facing the laughter of several women, Li Guangming touched the strip on his forehead self-deprecatingly and said, "Eh, I haven't fought for a few days, and I fell in love with them." As he spoke, he took the cards in his hand and pointed at Li Yun and Ning Ye.

The old god of Ning Ye was continuing to sort out the cards in his hand, and Li Yun shouted: "I said that if I don't fight, I won't fight, you have to fight, and if you lose, you will blame us for cheating you." ”

Ning Ye turned his head and asked him, "If you still oppose it, if you don't oppose it, I can play my cards." ”

"I'm against me, don't move." Li Yun didn't care about talking anymore, and reached out to get the hole cards on the table.

Li Guangming was idle, and called Zhang Shuqiu and said, "Xiaoqiu, make some fruit tea and drink it, I saw a lily in the refrigerator." ”

"I want to drink milk tea, Sister Xiaoqiu, milk tea, I want a big cup." Zhang Yunshan shouted.

"Okay, I'll cook, what else do you want, I said it at once." Zhang Shuqiu was in a good mood, looking at everyone and smiling.
