Chapter 41: Our Road Is Hard
Qi Minghua's life lost its focus, that night, when Qi Minghua first saw Zhao Kaixuan's text message to Bai Qian, Qi Minghua did not give up, and later at the police station, when she really heard Chen Zixiang stepping on two boats, Qi Minghua still did not give up.
When he heard that Chen Zixiang was going to break up with him and beat the child, Qi Minghua didn't give up, and even miscarried because of too much stimulation, Qi Minghua didn't give up. When she heard that everything she had been deceived by Chen Zixiang back then, Qi Minghua began to die. Later, Qi Minghua returned to her hometown, and that was really her heart.
I haven't been home for nearly four years, and even if my parents have a big hatred, it has dissipated. It's just that four years have passed, and the distance between me and my family has slowly become too big, my parents helped my brother and opened a hot pot restaurant, my mother often secretly sent money to myself behind my father's and brother's back, and my sister-in-law inevitably complained after she knew.
Although Qi Minghua went home, both her parents, her brother and sister-in-law were very polite to herself, but in the end, she was polite!
Qi Minghua thought that she could take her family as the focus of her future life, but Qi Minghua found that the original flesh and blood family relationship also had to be managed, and the original flesh and blood family relationship would also be cold because of the long time. A person with a heart like ashes will not cherish life, but the instinct to survive makes Qi Minghua desperately want to give herself a reason to live.
So Qi Minghua is back on top, at least here, there is a group of people who really care about themselves. It's just that Qi Minghua doesn't know what identity to use to face her friends, after all, these people are just her friends.
After Qi Minghua resigned from the electronics factory, Zhao Kaixuan became more and more bored in the electronics factory, and slowly resigned. Zhao Dagongzi didn't plan to pretend to be a worker anymore, he helped Bai Qian pack and deliver every morning, helped Qi Minghua look at the store in the afternoon, and went to take the driver's license test by the way, planning to buy a car as soon as the driver's license came.
Every afternoon, Qi Minghua is most looking forward to Zhao Kaixuan's arrival. Zhao Kaixuan often orders a bouquet of flowers from the Internet, and then gives it to Qi Minghua himself, Zhao Kaixuan always has a very sweet mouth and says to Qi Minghua: "The most beautiful flowers in the store, only the proprietress herself is worthy of it." ”
But every late at night, Qi Minghua always couldn't help but think of the child she couldn't keep, what kind of person Chen Zixiang was, Qi Minghua didn't care about it for a long time. But that child, the first child who belonged to him completely. But he is so unlucky, such a thing that only belongs to himself, and he lost him because he was stimulated so much.
"Child, I'm sorry, it's useless to be a mother, I can't keep your father, I can't keep you, in fact, it's okay if you don't come to this world, and you will suffer if you come!" The warmth that Qi Minghua can feel in this world has become smaller and smaller, standing by the window, Qi Minghua has a desire to jump down!
Qiao Hongchao accompanied the customer to eat at night, maybe the food was too salty, he got up in the middle of the night to find water to drink, Qiao Hongchao originally only wanted to drink a glass of water, but he saw a person standing on the balcony, Lan Ting and Bai Qian are tall figures, only Qi Minghua belongs to the petite of a Sichuan and Chongqing woman, usually looks nothing, but at night, I found that Qi Minghua's figure doesn't know when it looks so thin!
Qiao Hongchao took two popsicles from the refrigerator, walked to the balcony, and handed one to Qi Minghua: "Eat one with me, I'm thirsty!" ”
Qi Minghua took Qiao Hongchao's popsicle, and since the miscarriage, Qi Minghua ate cold for the first time. In fact, the body has long recovered, and it is not a big deal to eat cold, but Qi Minghua always feels that the body is already very cold, and she is unwilling to eat cold things, in fact, it is just May, and it is indeed not the season to eat popsicles.
"This popsicle wholesaled by Zhao Kaixuan is really sweet to listen to!" Qiao Hongchao bit the popsicle, Qi Minghua was unhappy, Qiao Hongchao had already seen it, but Qiao Hongchao didn't know how to comfort Qi Minghua.
Qi Minghua knew for the first time that the ice cream was so sweet, no wonder Zhao Kaixuan loved it so much.
"Last time I went back to my hometown, why did I come back so soon!" Qiao Hongchao looked at Qi Minghua's appearance, and thought that Qi Minghua was homesick.
Qi Minghua's hand eating ice cream paused: "I don't have a home anymore!" Qiao Hongchao, you said that if I die one day, will everyone remember me, and no one will cry for me! ”
Qiao Hongchao said to Qi Minghua: "Although I am a Northeast man, crying is a very shameful thing, but Qi Minghua, let me tell you, if you die before the age of 80, I will definitely cry for you very badly!" ”
Qi Minghua felt that her eyes were moist, but she was very happy: "What about after the age of 80!" ”
Qiao Hongchao licked his ice cream: "When you are 80 years old, I will be 84, haven't you heard that 73.84 is a hurdle?" Maybe I'll be dead by then! ”
Qi Minghua finally couldn't help but be amused by Qiao Hongchao: "It turns out that Qiao Hongchao also knows how to tell jokes!" ”
Qiao Hongchao couldn't help but compare an 'eight' at the chin position: "Don't you think I'm more handsome!" ”
Qi Minghua has known Qiao Hongchao for many years, although she knows that Qiao Hongchao is a kind person, but the first time she knows Qiao Hongchao, she will also be humorous: "Qiao Hongchao, thank you, it is you who make me feel less lonely!" ”
Qiao Hongchao suddenly realized: "Ao, I know, everyone get up for me!" Qiao Hong shouted loudly, Qi Minghua was startled, and when she wanted to stop Qiao Hongchao, several other people were woken up by Qiao Hongchao.
Lan Ting and Li Peng were wearing pajamas: "Qiao Hongchao, you are crazy in the middle of the night, and the neighbors will scold us when they hear it!" ”
Zhao Kaixuan came out shirtless directly, but fortunately, everyone was familiar with him, and no one cared about him. Bai Qian was the last to come out: "Qiao Hongchao, what are you doing in the middle of the night!" ”
Qiao Hongchao stood in the living room: "Our Huahua feels a little lonely, now let's eat an ice cream with Huahua!" ”
Bai Qian had already told others about Huahua's frequent insomnia in the middle of the night, and the others were too weak to know how to comfort Huahua. Hearing Qiao Hongchao say this, he knew that Qiao Hongchao must have a reason for doing this.
Bai Qian glanced at Lan Ting: "Can you eat it?" ”
Lan Ting thought about it, but nodded, and then Bai Qian went to the refrigerator to get a few ice creams, one for each person. In the middle of the night, 6 people sat on the sofa in the living room with an ice cream each, chatting.
Bai Qian couldn't help but complain: "Zhao Kaixuan, can you consider considering others next time you wholesale popsicles, you see that you love to eat alone!" ”
Zhao Kaixuan couldn't help but reply: "Before I wholesaled, you all said that it was not yet the weather to eat popsicles, and you said that it was okay to let me wholesale what I like to eat, and now you blame me!" ”
Li Peng couldn't help but interrupt the two of them: "By the way, let me tell you, recently I see that everyone is using a software, called WeChat, which can send voices, let's download one, which is much more convenient than using QQ and text messages!" ”
That year, WeChat had just been created, and a few friends were the first batch of people to download this software, and the first time a WeChat group was established, a few people thought about it and decided to name the WeChat group: Electronics factory workers. Many years later, the six people in this group are still in this group, but in the middle of several years, no one has spoken in this group.
That night, Lan Ting forcibly pulled a few people to play mahjong on the grounds that she couldn't sleep when she was woken up. A few people rarely indulge themselves once.
Zhao Kaixuan can't play mahjong, so he can only follow everyone around. Bai Qian and Lan Ting frequently made eye contacts, and the two of them deliberately let Qi Minghua win a lot, many times, Bai Qian obviously won the cards, and she had to deliberately release them. Qi Minghua was in a much better mood.
"It's over, it's over, it's a miserable loss!" Bai Qian did not leak traces, fortunately, Qi Minghua is indeed a mahjong master, and she is very confident in her skills, so she really believes that she is lucky!
Zhao Kaixuan kept standing behind Bai Qian and watched, even if he was stupid, he could see a little roughly: "Bai Qian, you just found me, if you change to someone else, that one can afford to raise you!" ”
Bai Qian has always been very disgusted by Zhao Kaixuan's saying that this kind of change: "Go to sleep, you can't play, you are still here to join in the fun!" ”
Since Qiao Hongchao confirmed his relationship with Bai Qian, he couldn't hear Zhao Kaixuan say such things: "Otherwise, you will come up and fight!" ”
Of course Zhao Kaixuan won't fight: "Don't squeeze me!" I'm just saying, when Bai Qian and I get married, she will spend my money as she wants! ”
Zhao Kaixuan is the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. A casual sentence made all the four people on the table dumbfounded, although Zhao Kaixuan protected Bai Qian like a calf protector before, it was the first time that he said that he wanted to marry Bai Qian. Qi Minghua's face was also pale when Zhao Kaixuan said this, Lan Ting and Li Peng knew about it, and Qiao Hongchao's face was also white.
Zhao Kaixuan didn't seem to have anything at all: "Why did you stop, let's continue playing!" ”
Li Peng was also very embarrassed to listen to it next to him, and saw that the sky outside was already bright: "Zhao Kaixuan, anyway, the two of us don't play mahjong, you accompany me out for a run, and then the two of us go to the vegetable market to buy something and come back to make breakfast!" ”
Li Peng dragged Zhao Kaixuan out of the door, the four people on the mahjong table, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Lan Ting opened her mouth first: "When are you going to hide it from him, and you won't tell him the truth after it's like this?" ”
Qiao Hongchao also looked at Bai Qian: "It's never a way to go on like this, otherwise you will find it clear with him!" ”
Bai Qian fiddled with the mahjong in her hand: "Wait for a while, we are making a little more money, and when I can pay off the money that my family owes Zhao Kaixuan's family, I will explain it to him." ”
Lan Ting was a little incomprehensible: "Qianqian, I really can't understand you, what is this?" Sell yourself? What kind of society is it now? If you owe money, let's pay him back, if it's not over in a year, let's pay it back in a few years, besides, I don't think Zhao Kaixuan likes you because you owe him money, Zhao Kaixuan is really good to you, it's not your fault that you don't mean that to Zhao Kaixuan, but you have been dragging Zhao Kaixuan like this is the way to disrespect both of you. ”
Qi Minghua nodded beside her: "I also think what Lan Ting said is quite right, emotional things can't be forced, Zhao Kaixuan's personality is too simple, you are not only lying to him like this, but also not good for yourself, there is nothing wrong with you liking Qiao Hongchao, and this matter is not fair to Qiao Hongchao." ”
Bai Qian felt that what the two of them said was right, hiding from Zhao Kaixuan like this was actually a bad thing for Zhao Kaixuan himself, Qiao Hongchao, or himself, but Bai Qian didn't dare to tell Zhao Kaixuan about it!
Bai Qian looked at Qiao Hongchao and didn't speak, just picked up her mobile phone and made a call to her home, and then signaled the other three to stop talking, and the phone was quickly connected: "Early in the morning, what are you doing!" ”
Bai Qian's mother's tone was not very happy, Bai Qian was not afraid of her mother, and replied coldly: "I don't want money this month, do you?" ”
Mother Bai calmed down at this time: "If you have money in your hands this month, call a little more and come back, your sister-in-law says every day that the money for buying vegetables is not enough, and your little nephew is going to kindergarten this year!" ”
Bai Qian suppressed her anger: "How much money does our family still owe Zhao Kaixuan's family?" ”
Mother Bai didn't quite understand: "Did you ask this early in the morning?" ”
Bai Qian's tone was no longer the same as before: "The money I want to repay, can't I ask clearly?" ”
Mother Bai also raised her voice on her side: "What kind of money is repaid, it's all good, as long as you and Xiao Kai get married, these are directly counted as the bride price of their family to our family, don't worry about repaying the money!" ”
Bai Qian looked up at the other three people, although they didn't speak, but no one could have imagined that there was such a mother in the world!
Bai Qian has said a lot of this kind of thing, and she can't get angry for a long time: "If you don't tell me, I won't send a dime home from today onwards, my sister-in-law wants money, and you will earn it for him!" ”
On the other end of the phone, another person answered: "Xiaoqian, why are you so ignorant!" Can my mother and I still hurt you? We want you to marry Zhao Kaixuan, and we also hope that you can have a good home! ”
Everyone heard that this was the voice of Daddy Bai, and the couple didn't ask if their daughter really liked Zhao Kaixuan, but just blindly wanted to persuade Bai Qian to marry Zhao Kaixuan.
Bai Qian has never dared to talk back to her parents since she was a child, but after coming to Shanghai, after all, she was much bolder: "I said, how much money do you owe, tell me, otherwise I won't send money home again!" ”
Daddy Bai's tone was angry: "You are really bold, our family owes 200,000 to the old Zhao family for building a house, your brother is married, we owe 150,000, and there are scattered debts of 400,000 in total, you still go, from this month onwards, call 2,000 to the family every month, and pay back the rest of the money if you want!" ”
Bai Qian's tone to her parents was no longer polite: "You are not afraid, I will find someone rich in Shanghai, and I will leave with others after returning the money?" In fact, Bai Qian is testing her parents.
Dad Bai obviously flinched a little on the other end of the phone: "The household registration book is at home, we don't agree, you can't get married!" ”
Bai Qian's tone was a little hysterical: "So I can't choose my own life in my life, right?" ”
Father Bai thought about it and said to Bai Qian: "If you want to pay back, go and pay back, when you pay back, either Zhao Kaixuan doesn't want you anymore, or the old Zhao family doesn't want you anymore." Otherwise, you can only marry Zhao Kaixuan! ”
Bai Qian gritted her teeth: "I will definitely return the money to the Zhao family, I hope you will be the talk when the time comes!" ”
Bai Qian hung up the phone, and then looked at the other three people: "You all know the situation, this is the situation in my family!" ”
Qiao Hongchao only felt that his road with Bai Qian was far more difficult than he thought, but Qiao Hongchao still held Bai Qian's hand: "Let's return it together!" ”
Qi Minghua couldn't help but hold Bai Qian's hand: "I'm alone anyway, I'll help you!"
Before Bai Qian could continue to think, the phone rang again, Bai Qian looked at the caller ID, hesitated, but still connected, still pressing the speakerphone: "Brother, why did you get up so early!" ”
On the other side of the phone was Bai Qian's brother Bai Lang: "Xiaoqian, I called you secretly, listen to my brother's words, don't take care of the house!" ”
Bai Qian can be cruel to anyone, but Bai Lang: "Brother, don't say this!" ”
Bai Lang's voice trembled: "Xiao Qian, brother is sorry for you in this life, you don't like Xiao Kai I know, since you have arrived in Shanghai, don't come back, where to find one you like!" ”
Bai Qian hung up the phone, every time she thought of her brother in the family, Bai Qian would be sad: "My brother is polio, his leg muscles are atrophied, and finally the family spent a lot of money to marry my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law or someone else looked at our family and Zhao Kaixuan's family has a good relationship, so I agreed, my sister-in-law's current work is still arranged by the Zhao family, if I talk to Zhao Kaixuan, Zhao Kaixuan may not be good to me, but Zhao Kaixuan's two sisters have never been easy to provoke!"
Only then did Lan Ting know how difficult Bai Qian's life was: "Then let's hide it first, fortunately, now you are making a good profit, work hard, hurry up and pay off the money, and then talk to Zhao Kaixuan, maybe Zhao Kaixuan will want to open it!" ”
On the other side, Li Peng also asked Zhao Kaixuan tentatively: "Do you have to marry Bai Qian?" ”
Zhao Kaixuan nodded: "Otherwise, can't I marry Bai Qian?"
Li Peng wanted to persuade Zhao Kaixuan: "But I see that Bai Qian usually doesn't have a good face for you, if you marry Bai Qian, you will be bullied by Bai Qian!" ”
Zhao Kaixuan didn't care: "Hey, if you are bullied, you will be bullied, big man, let her forget it!" ”
Li Peng didn't know how to persuade Zhao Kaixuan, Zhao Kaixuan was a rectum, no one could stop him if he recognized it, he couldn't stop him in front of the police, he couldn't stop him in the police station, who could persuade him!
Li Peng couldn't help but think that it seems that Qiao Hongchao and Bai Qian's road is really still far away!
