Chapter 619: August 15
Next to a dam on the Shengjinghun River, Zhao Ze stood there alone, looking at the gurgling river in a daze.
This is already Zhao Ze's habit, every year on August 15, no matter where Zhao Ze is, he will find a place with a water source at this time.
Because this day was the death day of his previous child.
In Zhao Ze's heart, he never forgot this child.
There is a saying on Shengjing's side that accidental death or murder is called horizontal death.
Such a person cannot be entered into the genealogy, and if it is related to this person, all the belongings cannot be kept by the family.
So at that time, Zhao Ze was so determined that he threw away all the items related to the children and sold them.
And the child can't have a graveyard yet, Zhao Ze can only ask someone to scatter the child's ashes in the muddy river in front of him.
At this time, the three cigarettes inserted in front of him had burned to the end.
Zhao Ze still has a lot of guilt about this child in his heart.
The swaying wind blew away the burned soot, and at the same time blew away the sadness in Zhao Ze's heart.
"Daddy is gone, I'll come back to see you in a few days. I'd like to tell you the news that you're about to have a younger brother or sister.
When he's older, I'll take him with me to see you. Zhao Ze said only to himself.
The wind on the embankment was very strong, and it had already blown Zhao Ze's hair into a mess at the moment.
Zhao Ze stood in place for a few more minutes, then turned around and silently walked up to the embankment.
Walked to the side of the road along the river, where Zhao Ze's car stopped.
Next to the car, there was another woman standing, this person was Jiao Ailan.
Jiao Ailan didn't know what Zhao Ze was doing here, but she could also see that Zhao Ze seemed to be paying tribute to someone by the river.
And Zhao Ze still has a faint tear stain on his face now.
Jiao Ailan saw Zhao Ze coming from the side of the embankment, and hurriedly opened the car door and waited next to the car.
Zhao Ze had already walked over at this time, looked up and saw Jiao Ailan standing next to the car door, so he reluctantly squeezed out a smile at her.
"Are we leaving?" Jiao Ailan asked.
Zhao Ze nodded to Jiao Ailan again, then got into the car and closed the door.
Jiao Ailan also sat down from the co-pilot's side and looked at Zhao Ze, whose face was still calm.
"Where do we go next?"
"Today is August 15, won't you have your own home?" Zhao Ze asked.
Jiao Ailan shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "I have a total of three days off, and it won't be interesting when I go home, so I won't go back on August 15." ”
"It's not right for you to do this, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 is a day for family reunions, and you should go home to see your parents.
What's more, I can't come over to accompany you these days, so I still suggest you go home!
It's not interesting for you to be home alone! Listen to me, let's go home and have a look!
You don't want your parents, but your parents still think about you.
It's been a long time since you've been working here, and you probably haven't even been there, so go home and see your parents, right? Zhao Ze didn't have an engine car, and turned his head to look at Jiao Ailan.
Jiao Ailan also looked at Zhao Ze, the two looked at each other for a while, and Jiao Ailan said.
"Alright then, take me to the train station now, I can go after I buy a ticket."
"Well, that's right." Zhao Ze finished saying this sentence and started the car.
The Hunhe River is still a long way from the train station, but August 15 has been listed as a legal holiday, so there are not many cars on the road at this time.
"You take your phone first and see if there is a ticket! If you choose the right one, buy a ticket immediately, this period is also a small peak of the train.
If you don't book a ticket in advance, I guess it's already evening when you get on the bus. ”
Listening to Zhao Ze's suggestion, Jiao Ailan took out her mobile phone and began to look at it.
"How many tickets are there, but I just don't know if the time is in a hurry?"
"What time is the train?"
"The train is still half an hour away."
Zhao Ze didn't speak, and the door he stepped on had already driven the speed to 100 kilometers per hour at this moment.
When Zhao Ze's car saw Shengjing Railway Station, there were less than 15 minutes left in the departure time that Jiao Ailan said.
"Then I'm leaving!"
"Okay, let's go, it's really too late for you to leave."
Jiao Ailan leaned her head to Zhao Ze's face at this time and kissed him lightly on the cheek.
"Then I'll go, you drive slowly, I didn't say you just now, your car is really a little fast."
Zhao Ze nodded, and then looked at it and let people get off the train and walk into the platform.
Zhao Ze lowered the window, then took out a pack of cigarettes from the side and lit one.
Just as Zhao Ze was sitting in the car and smoking, the phone rang suddenly.
It was Zhao Yang who called.
Zhao Yang: Brother, when will you and your sister-in-law go back to Dad's house?
Zhao Ze: Are you at your parents' house now?
Zhao Yang: Qingxia and I will arrive soon, and we are on our way now.
Zhao Ze: Then you go first, I'll go home to pick up your sister-in-law now, I'm outside now.
Zhao Yang: Okay, you hurry up.
Zhao Ze: Got it.
Zhao Ze hung up the phone, then raised his wrist and looked at the time again.
For many years, Zhao Ze has not been August 15 for a long time.
Thinking of the words he had just said to persuade Jiao Ailan, Zhao Ze couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
People often say that you should do to others what you don't want, but just now I persuaded Jiao Ailan to go home.
At this time, he is not actively going to his parents' house, and he feels that he is really a little bit unreasonable.
But today's day is also the date that Zhao Ze hates the most, he really doesn't want to celebrate this festival.
But it's not a matter if you don't go on this day, it used to be because Zhao Ze was not in Shengjing for a long time, so Zhao Ze forgot about this festival.
Zhao Ze twisted the cigarette stick he had smoked to his head in the ashtray, and then picked up his mobile phone again.
Zhao Ze: Wife, just now Zhao Yang urged us to go home for the holidays, I estimate that it will take a while to get home, if not, you can pack up and go to your parents' house first.
Molly: Then should I buy some gifts, and then go to my parents' house, and go to my parents' house with my empty hands, I'm sorry for you.
Zhao Ze: Then you can buy less, you can't lift the weight of your bones, and then go back and stretch our children.
Molly: Okay, since you're so worried about me, then I'm not going to buy anything, okay? I'm waiting for you at the gate of the community, come quickly.
Zhao Ze: Okay wife, I estimate that it will take less than 15 minutes to get home, so you can find a leeward place to stand for a stop first.
Molly: You drive slowly, don't worry, I just said that, then I'll wait for you at the gate of my parents' community.
Zhao Ze: Okay, I remember, wait a minute, I'll be there soon, don't give me a bad review.
Molly: Get out of the way, what are you talking about? Are you a food delivery at all?
