Chapter 124: Unforgettable Memory
Just when Zhao Yang and Ji Chunlai were chatting in the living room, the mobile phone suddenly rang.
Zhao Yang looked at the mobile phone, it was Zhao Yang's mother calling, and gestured towards Ji Chunlai, Ji Chunlai waved his hand at him, and Zhao Yang picked up the phone.
"Hey, Mom, what's the matter? …… What the? I can't hear clearly, you told my dad to turn down the TV...... I mean, you told my dad to turn down the computer a little bit, you're so noisy that I can't hear you clearly!
…… Yes? You're looking for my brother, so what are you calling me? …… Yes? You forgot my call, okay then! I'll give me a call and ask him to call you...... I said, I'll call my brother, and then let my brother call you, okay, that's it? Nothing else, right?
…… Okay, I know, then I'll hang up my mother first, I'll go to your house to see you in two days, okay, okay! Bye-bye, Mom. ”
Zhao Yang hung up the phone, looked at the phone and shook his head helplessly.
"My mom has Alzheimer's, and now sometimes she can remember things, and sometimes she starts to get confused, and I can't help it. No, I couldn't find my brother's phone number, so he called me. Zhao Yang explained to Ji Chunlai.
"When people are old, you should take care of them a little more. My dad also has Alzheimer's, and I am sometimes afraid that he will get lost, so I specially found a nanny for him to watch him. My mom passed away a long time ago, and now my dad is the only one in the house.
I also advised him to go to a nursing home. But people just don't go, saying they don't like it there and think it's too noisy. No way, I'm usually too busy at work, and I don't have time to take care of him. Ay! When I think about this, I feel that I am not filial enough. Ji Chunlai said with emotion.
"There are elderly people in every family, and we are not unfilial to our children, the key is that you go diligently, they are annoying. If you don't go when you're old, they still miss you.
It's not good, what's that, big brother, I still have to call my brother, otherwise my mother will have to call me in a while, don't look at her Alzheimer's, this kind of thing can be remembered. If I don't do it for her, she will scold me in a while. Zhao Yang said.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, call your brother quickly."
Zhao Yang took his mobile phone and dialed Zhao Ze's phone.
"Hey, brother, where are you? …… What? Are you in the capital? What did you do in the capital? …… What did you say? Really! What time did this happen? …… Oooh oh! Then hurry up and take your sister-in-law back to Shengjing, your sister-in-law is not too young, so you must keep the child!
…… That's okay, you take good care of your sister-in-law in the capital, when will you call me before you come back, and I'll pick you two up at the train station...... By the way, brother, you have time for our mother to make a call, the old lady probably missed you, called me, and said that she didn't find your phone......
Yes, yes, my mom is the whole thing again, you just pretend not to know, you can call her later...... Okay, brother, my sister-in-law is pregnant, you have to take care of it, I'm really happy for you, thank you for your contribution to the old Zhao family, don't say it, wait for you to come back...... You also pay attention to your body, goodbye brother. ”
Zhao Yang hung up the phone, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were already moist.
Ji Chunlai noticed that Zhao Yang's face was strange, and knew that he might have known that his sister-in-law was pregnant, but why was he a little sad when he heard the news?
Zhao Yang sat on the sofa and was stunned for a long time, until Ji Chunlai handed him a cigarette, and he came back to his senses from his daze.
"I'm sorry! That phone call from my brother just now made me so excited and a little out of shape. Zhao Yang said, wiping the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
Ji Chunlai stretched out a lighter to Zhao Yang, helped Zhao Yang light a cigarette, and said, "It seems that my brother is a person with a story!" If you don't mind, you can tell me about it. ”
Zhao Yang took a puff of cigarette, looked at Ji Chunlai and said slowly: "People of our age, who doesn't have a story!" It's just that what happened in our family is not called a story, it should be told backwards, it is called an accident!
In fact, I have almost forgotten about this incident over the years, but the phone call from my brother just now reminded me of the incident that happened back then. Ay! I can't think of it! This time, the old Zhao family is finally going to have children again. ”
Zhao Yang let out a long breath, and by the way, he also spit out the smoke he had inhaled, and there was a smoke in front of him, making Zhao Yang's figure look a little illusory.
Ji Chunlai listened to what Zhao Yang said, and felt that he couldn't understand what he was talking about, so he looked at him puzzled.
Zhao Yang smiled bitterly at Ji Chunlai, and then said: "It was a very painful memory, in fact, I really wanted to tell you about it, but I was afraid that today's very good atmosphere would be mixed, so I might as well not say it!" It's annoying to you. ”
Although Ji Chunlai was very puzzled by Zhao Yang's words, he still smiled and said to him: "It's okay, you can say it!" Anyway, I'm chatting with you now, maybe you'll be in a better mood after you're done. ”
"You're quite understanding, then I'll tell you!"
Zhao Yang took another puff of cigarette, and then continued: "My brother actually had a boy, and at that time he was always working in the field and was often away from home, so his son was like my son.
I'm a Dink and don't want kids. So, I treat my brother's son as if he were my own. To be honest, I watched that kid grow up. Speaking of this, Zhao Yang took another puff of cigarette, wanting to relieve his emotions.
"The child is a good boy and very sensible! The academic performance is also very good, and in elementary school, I was the top student in school in every subject. It wasn't until I was admitted to junior high school that I became the president of their class, what a good guy! I remember when he left, he was almost taller than me.
Hi...... Maybe it's the child's life that isn't good! Why did you get involved in this? I still don't understand why it could be our child! Zhao Yang twisted the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
Ji Chunlai listened to Zhao Yang's statement and probably understood what was going on, so he asked, "How did that kid go?" ”
Zhao Yang sighed again and said, "If you want to talk about this world, it is really not what we see on the surface!" You say it's safe! But it's so evil, this has made our family stand up.
At that time, my parents' family moved, and my brother specially chose a house for my parents close to the children's school. At that time, I also found a house for my parents near my house. The house is well decorated, and I have seen a good layout, just two buildings away from my residence.
I had already paid the deposit for the house, but my mother said that it was too far away from the child's school and said that she didn't want to buy the house. I said that I paid a deposit of 5,000 yuan, and if you don't buy it, then the 5,000 yuan will not be refunded.
But in the end, my 5,000 yuan deposit was wasted, and I had a big quarrel with my parents because of this incident. My mom and I stopped talking at the time, and forced my brother to help her find a house, and finally bought the house that my brother chose for them.
Of course, the house my brother chose for them is also very good, although it is a second-hand house, but that house is a wedding room used by people to get married, and the decoration is also very good.
In this way, my parents and the child officially moved into the new house, which is only two stops away from the middle school where the child attends, which is very convenient. But who would have thought that after living here for less than half a year, the overpass began to be built in that place.
It doesn't matter if the bridge is repaired, the roads are all closed! If a child wants to go to school, he has to make a big circle before he can get to school. I'm still far away from my parents' house, so I can't drive to pick up my kids every day!
Just like that, my dad didn't know where to find a driver who drove a black motorcycle, chartered someone's motorcycle, and took his children to and from school every day. I was still afraid that something would happen, so I made a point to find out the background of the driver of the motorcycle.
After understanding, I also knew that this motorcycle-driving person was also a responsible person, and then he picked up the children to and from school every day. But who would have thought that there would always be such a mistake in this matter. The motorcyclist's driver had an accident at home, and then he transferred the job of picking up my children to another person.
My parents actually knew about it, but they didn't tell me, and the bad is in this matter! The driver of the replacement motorcycle, who was a gambler, was out gambling and owed a lot of debt.
There was really no way to be chased by creditors, so I remembered a bad idea. He saw that our children were relatively simple, and this bad idea moved on our children's heads. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yang eased his nerves, asked Ji Chunlai for a cigarette to light it, and continued: "Hey! This person, don't get involved in gambling and drugs, once you do, it's not good!
This kid from Kaimo was also forced to be anxious. In that year, it happened to be the day when the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day were next to each other. He had planned it all in advance, and on the morning of the eleventh day, he tricked our children out of the house.
The kid didn't tell my parents the truth, saying that he was going to play with his classmates, so he followed the guy to his house. I don't know how he tricked the child, but he actually invited the child to eat at home and drank wine.
This guy put some medicine in the wine, and he made our child faint. You said you want to extort money from our family and kidnap the child, but you should call our family first and ask for money! It's really uneducated, it's terrible! Stupid couldn't be more stupid, just a stupid thief! ”
Zhao Yang said this, and even his smoking hands began to tremble with anger.
Ji Chunlai had been listening with a frown, and seeing Zhao Yang's emotions, he hurriedly said, "Brother, brother!" Don't get excited, don't get excited! Slowly, what happened? ”
Zhao Yang took another puff of cigarette and said angrily: "What else can I do!" This stupid × just covered the child with a pillow to death! You said you've ever seen a ticket kidnapping like this, have you ever seen it? Have you ever heard of killing someone first, and then asking for ransom from someone? I now have the heart to kill this stupid ×, how can there be such a stupid × person in the world! ”
When Ji Chunlai heard this result, he also felt incredible on the side, and it could even be said to be unreasonable.
"O my poor great nephew! It's just gone, and it's really not worth dying in the hands of a stupid × whose IQ is a problem! What a big boy! It's just gone? Do you know? That's the only single seedling of our old Zhao family! CTMD! You stupid ×! ”
Zhao Yang's tears had already flowed down at this time, and he cursed that person angrily.
Liu Qingxia heard Zhao Yang's cursing in the bedroom, and thought that Zhao Yang and Ji Chunlai were fighting, so she quickly ran out of the bedroom in fright.
"What's going on? Who are you so angry with? Why are you still crying angrily? Yangyang, what's wrong with you? Liu Qingxia looked at Zhao Yang with no eyes, and then glanced at Ji Chunlai suspiciously.
Ji Xiaohe, who followed behind, almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard his mother call Uncle Zhao Yang Yangyang. But when I saw Zhao Yang's face, I was also taken aback.
The blood vessels on Zhao Yang's temples now collapsed, tears and snot flowed all over his face, his eyes were red, and the whole person looked very hideous.
Liu Qingxia also saw Zhao Yang like this for the first time, and she was also very worried, and she didn't care about what happened in front of her ex-husband, so she went over and hugged Zhao Yang's bare brain.
"Yangyang, calm down, don't get angry!" After saying this, he looked directly at Ji Chunlai and said, "What did you talk to him about?" Why did you stimulate him like this! ”
Seeing Liu Qingxia talking about herself for no reason, as if she had dripped, Ji Chunlai couldn't cry or laugh. But now in this situation, it is inconvenient for him to explain anything, so he can only look at Zhao Yang and ask for help.
Zhao Yang struggled out of Liu Qingxia's arms, pulled a few tissues from the coffee table, and wiped the snot and tears on his face.
"It has nothing to do with Brother Ji, I told him about my brother's child, and I was a little excited. As you know, this memory is a scar in my heart, a pain that can never be erased. I'm sorry, Brother Ji, I was a little excited, and I even caused you to misunderstand Qingxia. Zhao Yang said.
"It's okay, it's okay, I've been used to it for a long time, and you'll get used to it in the future! This is all the time! Ji Chunlai held Liu Qingxia's eyes and said with a disgruntled expression.
When Liu Qingxia heard Zhao Yang say this, she knew that he had a memory of that bad history, and hurriedly said: "Why did you tell that story again, how many times have you told you, it's been so long, don't think about it anymore." ”
Zhao Yang nodded, forced out a smile, and said, "Didn't I call my brother just now, and he told me that my sister-in-law is pregnant!" I was reminded of it all at once. yes, you're right, I shouldn't have thought about that anymore.
Okay, this time, my sister-in-law is pregnant, and our old Zhao family has a queen! Brother Ji is also here today, for this great thing in our family, we celebrate together! I invite everyone to eat hot pot. ”
