Chapter 66: Silent Tears
The next day, Chen Xiaodi still got up early and started a new day's review according to the schedule set yesterday, there were no accidents in the whole process, and the plan was completed on time. The next few days were also smooth, Chen Xiaodi felt that she had gradually regained the concentration and momentum she once had, as long as she persisted like this, the place she wanted to go would definitely open the door for her.
It's a pity that this kind of calm didn't last long after all, and Chen's father, who he thought was right, seemed to be really uncomfortable if he didn't do something, and if outsiders couldn't do it, he would take his own family to knife, no matter when and where, he had to put on a high-minded and omniscient look, everything he said was right, and no one was allowed to refute it.
After Chen Xiaodi failed in the graduate school entrance examination for the first time, he had a new idea, and he would talk about it every once in a while, as long as Chen Xiaodi refuted him, he began to sneer, saying how good the children in the unit were at the same level as her, until Chen Xiaodi was like thunder, he was not satisfied.
Because of this, the contradictions between the family have become deeper and deeper over the years, and Chen Xiaodi and him are even more difficult to deal with, and a fierce quarrel will break out many times.
On this day, Chen's mother and friends went out to play, and only came back at dinner, Chen's father came in after work to see that the food was cold, and immediately began to curse with a displeased face.
"It's okay to be idle at home, and you can't cook!"
"Can't you do it yourself when you're such an adult? The pots and pans at home are not carried on my back, they are all cold dishes and cold rice, and you can eat them by heating them up! ”
"I know how to go out every day, and I don't want to come back at eleven or twelve o'clock!"
"Other people's husbands tell them to go where they want to play, as long as you are happy, you look at you again, and occasionally cook a meal and have something to say, then if I go out to play every day like the eldest sister, you can't turn the sky upside down?!"
At this time, the door of Chen Xiaodi's room opened suddenly, and Chen Xiaodi, who was angry, rushed out, which had always been a point she couldn't tolerate.
"What's wrong with going out? Retired and don't go out for a walk and wait for Alzheimer's at home? You can go out to play, but others can't go out, right? ”
Chen's mother used to work in a silk factory, which was the largest enterprise in the city at that time, and the benefits were very good, but later the restructuring led to many people being forced to lose their jobs, and Chen's mother was one of them, so Chen's father always felt that he was superior, and he shouldn't do anything at home, and Chen's mother took it for granted.
There was a burst of aroma of food in the kitchen, and suddenly there was a solemn depression in the air, and the three of them didn't speak again, they were silent for a while, and Dad Chen said something in a weird way, and the war was ignited again, and the quarrel was fierce.
"I don't have any skills, just this mouth is powerful, and my daughter also learns from you with a bad temper, and she scolds people all day long when she doesn't do anything."
"Don't talk about my mother, you're the one with the worst temper, don't you have a little bit in your heart?! If you want to learn this bad temper, you can learn it! ”
"Why don't you learn something?!"
"What good is there for a self-righteous megalomania like you to learn?!"
There were three or four dishes on the small coffee table in the living room, and the three of them had nothing to talk about, and at the end of the dinner, Chen's father began to talk about a colleague's daughter again, and his words were full of contempt and dissatisfaction with Chen Xiaodi.
"The daughter of Uncle Zhang's family who lived next door to us before was at the same level as you, and when people didn't have classes, they went to the clothing market to buy goods and sold them at the school gate, can you?"
"She is not in good health, and what if her illness recurs? She gets worse every time she recurs, don't you know? Didn't you see how serious her condition was in the hospital in her sophomore year? ”
"Don't you need money to buy it? Our roommate has sold clothes, and it costs thousands of yuan just to buy them, and even you try to deduct my monthly living expenses, are you willing to pay for these money? ”
"I've fulfilled all my obligations to you, I want money to go out and earn it myself!"
"You mean to kick her out, don't you?!"
"Didn't you say that I should learn to sell clothes? Did the money fall from the sky? ”
Chen Xiaodi threw down the dishes and chopsticks and locked herself in the room, lying on the desk and crying softly, she wanted to try to suppress her tears, but at this moment she couldn't hold back after all, and it dripped down violently.
But Chen Xiaodi's tears came and went quickly, and they stopped falling in less than half a minute, she just pillowed her arm and looked at the sky outside the window with tears in her eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously, not even noticing the call from Bai Ye.
When I woke up, I found that there were two missed calls, and when I was about to go back, Bai Ye made a video call, Chen Xiaodi combed her somewhat messy hair indiscriminately, and quickly picked it up.
"Were you busy before? I haven't answered the phone. ”
"No...... Fell asleep......"
At this time, Bai Ye noticed that Chen Xiaodi's eyes were red, and there was a small red mark on one side of his face, as if it was pressed out of the folds of his clothes.
"Have you ever cried? What's wrong? ”
Chen Xiaodi didn't speak, just turned the pages angrily, making a crisp sound, Bai Ye saw this, and already guessed the reason in his heart.
"Uncle he...... What did you say again? ”
"What else can I say, the daughter of a colleague's family went to sell clothes to make money in her spare time, and asked me to learn from others to set up a stall on the street, and said that his obligations had been fulfilled and let me go out."
Chen Xiaodi said these words extremely calmly, with a desolate smile on the corner of his mouth.
Bai Ye only felt stuffy in his chest, in his impression Chen Xiaodi had never cried, the unfriendly factors around her never bothered her, and she had always turned a blind eye to the ridicule and disdain for her dreams, even the sharp stinging pain in the joints of her body when she was sick and hospitalized did not make her shed tears, but what she didn't want to cry would be the sarcasm from her loved ones again and again.
"Why don't you go out for a walk? Staying at home like this will suffocate you. ”
"I don't know where to go...... We don't have much fun here. ”
"Or make an appointment with your little sisters? Go shopping, drink milk tea or something. ”
"I'm afraid it's going to take a while, I went to find her boyfriend outside the province, and my girlfriend is still in the provincial capital and hasn't come back, the rest...... Either in an internship or on a trip. ”
"But there's no way to go on like this......"
Bai Ye is very worried about Chen Xiaodi, but he has no way to go home now, he can only be anxious in his heart, he hopes that time will pass faster, so that he can return to her side sooner, he really doesn't want to watch his beloved girl so sad and sad every day and he can't do anything about it.
