149: Exotic Moon
If you can do it all over again, it's best not to know each other, so that you don't fall in love.
The Third Ring Road is still blocked, Beijing is too big, and the gathering and dispersion are staged every day in the city.
Each and every one of us, in this great city, is like thousands of miles in the floating world, and countless stars in the sky.
The good and the bad have to be looked at in the end.
"Let's get a divorce!"
In the end, Jing Jing divorced Lao Xia.
Zhao Xun was thinking about how sad and indignant Jing should have felt when he said this.
But Quiet had to do that, because there was only one way in front of her.
What a proud girl she used to be quiet, for Ming'en, let go quietly, put down her figure, let go of her pride, but what did she get in exchange?
Is it Lao Xia's derailment again and again? Or trample on quiet dignity again and again?
Obviously, this is already a marriage that has no meaning at all.
Although they lived in the same house, their hearts could not continue to live together.
Quiet and Lao Xia divorced peacefully, there was no quarrel, no prosecution, and the children followed Quiet.
Lao Xia's family is not short of money, in addition to the living expenses that he will regularly call the children every month, he also gives a large amount of money to Jingjing.
Even if he doesn't have to do anything for the rest of his life, the money is enough for Ming En to read all the books.
In Lao Xia's words:
"This is to fulfill my last bit of responsibility as Ming'en's father!"
Although, Lao Xia gave Tranquility a house, Tranquility still decided to take the child to live abroad.
It could be a romantic scene from a sleepless night in Seattle, or even a bit of an escapist mystery.
Moreover, Jing said that the teaching resources there are also very good, and she really wants to go out for a walk and change her living environment.
So, Tranquility has made Seattle a top city to settle abroad.
At the time of parting, Quiet took Xiao Mingen to say goodbye in person.
Zhao Xun was very surprised, except when he was in middle school, he thought it was the first time he came to the door quietly.
But what Zhao didn't expect was that this was most likely the last time they met.
The quietness when I grew up was very different from my middle school days, and even my father almost didn't recognize it.
It wasn't until I mentioned the interesting stories of my middle school days that my father slowly got an image.
It's really not easy to think that the little girl who was so good at home that she didn't need to pass the college entrance examination to change her fate was able to get up until 4 o'clock in the morning every day to study.
Now that my father has five or six-year-old children when he sees Quiet, time is in a trance, and he can pass so quickly.
Father's bones are a hospitable person, and quietness is also an old friend of Zhao's found.
The father didn't say a word, and was about to show a hand to Jing Jing.
Quiet was in a hurry to catch a flight that day, and didn't stay at home to eat in the end.
When I was a child, my friendship was to hope that the two of us could walk together forever, just like eating together, going to school and leaving school together, going to the playground together to watch a ball game exclusive to boys, like going to the bathroom hand in hand.
But when I grow up, the friendship is like now, even if we don't see each other again, we just silently hope that each other will live well in our hearts.
It didn't take long for the news that Quiet was leaving, so that Zhao Xun didn't have a chance to prepare something to come, don't give Quiet.
Zhao returned to the room and searched carefully, and finally decided to give the colorful prayer flag hanging on the wall to Jingjing.
This colorful prayer flag is the most precious thing that Zhao Xun brought back from his first contact with this big world.
At that time, passing through the Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia coincided with a unique sacrificial activity of the local herdsmen.
Zhao Xun was unconsciously involved in that sacred sense of mission, and seeing Zhao Xun so pious, the local herdsmen took down this prayer flag for Zhao Xun on the brain bag, and also gave him an excellent meaning of wealth.
Since then, this prayer flag has been accompanying Zhao Xun.
Now that she learned that Quiet had suffered such a big change, and proposed to leave suddenly, Zhao Xun thought about giving this good blessing to her former best classmate.
Quiet is a cheerful person, and her name never matches her character.
From the moment Zhao Xun learned that Quiet's marriage was unsatisfactory, Quiet never showed her unhappiness.
On the contrary, she also told Zhao Xun her experience in the past few years through a book "I like this utilitarian world", and she didn't need to worry about her.
Quiet hopes that Zhao Xun can live happily, and Zhao Xun is too.
After the silence of the prayer flag, he said with a smile:
"I will definitely take him well, and when Ming'en grows up in the future, if she forgets her book, I will show her the prayer flag that her aunt gave me when she parted, look, this is our famous family!"
When she walked quietly, she didn't bring anything, and she said that she wanted to be a "clean" person, so clean that she started with "what's my name".
Sending Silence to the airport, Mingen lay on my stomach and gave me a deep kiss.
It's just that what Quiet doesn't know is how sweet that kiss is, so that if there is really a careless, Zhao Xun blurted out that sentence:
"Can you stay?"
Zhao Xun squatted on the ground, the same height as Xiao Mingen.
Zhao found next to Xiao Mingen's ear and said something like this:
"Your mother is the best mother in the world, so you have to love her, respect her, and protect her in the future when you grow up."
As soon as the words fell, Ming En nodded vigorously, as if using this silent action to tell Zhao Xun that Xiao Ming En has really grown up, in a foreign country, and she has the ability to take care of her mother.
"Auntie, will you go to Seattle to see me and my mother?"
"If I have the chance, I will definitely go."
"Mommy and I will definitely miss you."
"Me too, if Xiao Mingen misses me, then we'll talk about the video, okay?"
"Good!"
……
Zhao Xun and Ming En talked a lot, until Quiet took the child to the plane, and then reluctantly walked away.
However, Zhao Xun and Jing Jing didn't say much, maybe just one look was enough to understand each other's inner world.
From youth to maturity, although Quiet has not accompanied Zhao Xun through all the springs, autumns, winters and summers, they have become the best of each other.
They are like a mirror to each other, attracting and cherishing each other.
In the mirror that Zhao was looking for, he quietly reflected the side where he was unwilling to accept his fate.
In the quiet mirror, Zhao found the magnificent side of himself.
Of all the differences, the last thing Zhao Zhao wants to talk about is goodbye.
If you say goodbye, one day you may never see you again.
This is true for Wang Yi, and so is quietness.
Ming En waved his little hand goodbye to Zhao Xun.
Although Zhao Xun silently recited a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand sentences of "I will wait for you to come back" in his heart, Zhao Xun never said this sentence.
If the moon in a foreign country can make up for the trauma of Quiet, if the bags in a foreign country can make Quiet have the happiness of the rest of her life, Zhao really hopes that she will never come back.
Goodbye, old classmate!
Goodbye, old friend!
May we meet again, and you and I can be each other's best selves!
When Zhao returned home, his father was full of doubts.
My father was old, and since Jing Jing entered the house, he hid in the kitchen alone to make delicious food for Jing Jing.
Until Quiet left the house, my father did not come out of the kitchen.
Slow to move, slow to react, my father is no longer the master chef who used to dominate the back kitchen of the entire restaurant alone.
Watching his father cook a table full of dishes, Zhao Xun could imagine how much effort his father had spent to make this table full of "delicacies".
After a long moment's hesitation, my father asked:
"What about the kids?"
"Gone."
"Didn't you say you would leave after eating? Is there any time difference when you go there? In case the family is spending the night, what are the children going to eat? ”
"Dad, they're catching a plane!"
"Catch a plane...... Catch a flight...... Hey, you kid! ”
"It's okay, Dad, if you want to Mingen, the communication is so developed now, we can video at any time, don't you always want to go out and have a look, I heard that the moon in Seattle is very beautiful!"
"How long are they out there?"
"Half a year? Maybe it's a year, I don't know. ”
"Doesn't that kid have to go to school?"
For a long time, Zhao Xun and his father were silent.
In the end, they came to the table and tacitly picked up the dishes and chopsticks in front of them.
Father's memory of quiet may be that he only went to bed early and got up early when he was in school, and picked up Zhao to find a morning study.
It may also be that Quiet is too similar to Zhao Xun, looking at Quiet, it is like seeing Zhao Xun when he was a child.
To some extent, my father is also making up for his past in another way.
Zhao Xun didn't tell her father about the quiet divorce, she didn't want her father to be sad about the quiet.
Zhao is looking for hope, in the eyes of everyone, quiet is still the sunny girl full of confidence.
After leaving quietly, I don't know what force was pulling Zhao Xun.
All in all, it's a baffling feeling.
Walking, walking, he came to Lao Deng's grave, which Zhao Xun didn't expect.
Although they were once married, there was no affection between Zhao Xun and Lao Deng, and it could even be said that this was a long-planned transaction.
The last time I saw Lao Deng, Zhao Xun couldn't remember it clearly, maybe it was too long ago.
Looking at the weeds on the grave of the old Deng Tou, Zhao Xun's heart ached faintly.
For Lao Deng, Zhao Xun in the past only hated.
But how many years have passed, and that hatred seems to have been smoothed out by time.
Gradually, Zhao Xun seemed to have forgotten the unforgettable pain at the beginning.
Thinking about coming to Lao Deng Tou's life, he has no children and no daughters, and he is pitiful, if he can spare time in the future, Zhao Xun will definitely come to see him.
On the lonely Huangquan Road, it is always good to have someone to talk to.
