104: A little aftertaste

For a long time, we passed slowly.

It's a long way, and we're going slowly.

Although life is very hard, once you have someone who can share your ups and downs, you will feel that life is actually not bad for you.

Some people say that friends are relatives chosen by themselves, and at this moment, Ah Xiang is the relative chosen by Zhao Zhao.

Before that, Zhao Xun never even thought that one day in the future, she would be able to have a deep intersection with the woman in front of her.

Before going to Sister Axiang's house, except for photos, Zhao Xun had never seen his brother-in-law's real person.

Zhao only listened to the colleagues in the unit, don't look at Sister Ah Xiang is usually ordinary and low-key, but Sister Ah Xiang is married very well.

The husband is still a high-level intellectual, and now he is a university professor at a certain university.

Sometimes there seems to be some cram school in after-school time, and there are winter and summer vacations every year, and the benefits given by the school are also good.

Although Zhao Xun graduated from college, he is not a famous university after all, and Zhao Xun has always been sloppy in his studies when he was in school.

Although Zhao Xun also admired Ah Xiang's marriage, but because of his own cultural level, Zhao Xun was afraid that the kind of outlook on life that was incompatible with others would be revealed between the lines when communicating, and it would be very embarrassing at that time.

So on the way here, Zhao Xun's heart was uneasy.

Sister Axiang's home is in the suburbs, it seems to be a house shared by her brother-in-law in the school, and there is a fixed subsidy every month, and Zhao Xun heard that there are quite a lot.

The unit is some distance from home, so Sister Ah Xiang drives to and from work every day.

Judging from Zhao Xun's painful experience of crowding the bus every morning since work hours, Zhao Xun is very envious of the fact that Ah Xiang can drive to and from work.

Because to this day, Zhao Zhaodu is still a traditional girl who has never touched the steering wheel.

First, I came because I had no money, and of course I couldn't afford to keep a car.

And when Zhao Zhao was looking for college, other classmates had already begun to take the driver's license test and charge credits, and Zhao Zhao was still working as an hourly worker for the living expenses of the next semester.

In Zhao Xun's eyes, Ah Xiang is actually a successful woman.

Ah Xiang not only has such an excellent husband, but also has a car and a house at home, and now the child is three years old, except for the child, there is really no burden.

Sister Ah Xiang's home is on the first floor, and what is different from Zhao Xun's imagination is that although the family conditions in Ah Xiang's family are good, the furnishings at home are ordinary.

In addition to the regular electrical products at home, it is a small amusement park surrounded by the sofa, which is particularly eye-catching.

There are all kinds of sponge toys, as well as some plastic building blocks, and the dolls are stacked into various shapes.

It can be seen that Ah Xiang's family must be very fond of Sister Ah Xiang's children.

Then there are the flowers and plants that Ah Xiang keeps on the balcony, and Ah Xiang usually cooks them very well.

It's not all vibrant now, scrambling to grow, inch by inch taller than inch.

The greenery, which had grown so well, was wrapped around the balcony and finally turned back from the drying rack.

There is no need to guess, Ah Xiang must be a person who loves life and treats life positively, otherwise she would not have been able to raise them so well.

Because you can't find a trace of ash on those plants, and you can't find a single plant that has a lack of water or wilts.

Zhao Xun didn't expect Ah Xiang, who could be so serious at work, to be so orderly in life.

Sister A Xiang's child's nickname is Quaqua, of course, it may also be Guagua, as for which word it is, Zhao Xun didn't ask Ah Xiang.

Maybe it's because it happened to be Friday, and Sister Ah Xiang was the only one at home.

Under Zhao's repeated questioning, Ah Xiang said that her husband happened to take Guaga back to her grandmother's house today.

Wait for the next time when my brother-in-law is at home, I will invite Zhao to have a meal, which can be regarded as getting acquainted.

I heard Ah Xiang say that my brother-in-law's hometown is in Henan.

Don't look at my brother-in-law who is so promising now, but my brother-in-law's family conditions are very ordinary, and my parents are not high-level elements, nor are they ***, rich second generation.

It all depends on his brother-in-law's own diligence in his studies, and of course, his success must be inseparable from the obscure dedication of his parents.

Although Guagua's grandmother likes children, her legs and feet have never been very good.

My brother-in-law is a filial child, and every week he tries to squeeze out part of the time to go back to his hometown in Henan to visit his parents.

In order to entertain Zhao Xun today, Ah Xiang made preparations early.

When Sister Ah Xiang got off work at noon, she bought all kinds of ingredients for cooking at night in advance, and also cut the dumplings in advance.

There are pork and green onions, shrimp, and dumpling wrappers rolled out with spinach noodles.

Although Zhao Xun wanted to help Ah Xiang cook together, or wash vegetables or something, Ah Xiang refused.

Ah Xiang also made a slightly angry tone and said to Zhao Xun:

"Xiao Zhao, you are a guest today, you can't let you work, you just stay in the living room quietly and eat fruit, or go around."

"Oh, it's okay, how can we be so particular about it, just let me help you, the two of us can cook faster, right?"

"It's too trivial to cook for the two of us, I'm no problem at all, you just sit here obediently and wait to eat."

Under Ah Xiang's repeated persuasion, Zhao Xun had to stay in the living room obediently alone.

Ah Xiang washed the fruit, probably afraid that Zhao Zhao was too bored, so she brought Zhao Zhao a wedding photo album of her and her brother-in-law.

The heavy photo album was held in the palm of Zhao Xun's hand, the evening sun didn't seem to be so dazzling, and the sunlight shone through the screen window on the wedding photos.

Those wedding photos full of happiness seem to become more full of vitality in an instant under the afterglow.

Ah Xiang smiled very sweetly, deep dimples embedded in her red smiling face, and her brother-in-law seemed to smile too, it was a kind of smile that couldn't help but come from the heart.

At the dinner table, Ah Xiang and Zhao Xun talked about life and the future, and perhaps the most tacit understanding was that Ah Xiang would never ask Zhao Xun about his past, and of course Zhao Xun would never take the initiative to mention it.

may be because of Ah Xiang's non-questioning, every time Zhao Xun stays with Ah Xiang, Zhao Xun will feel unprecedentedly relaxed.

Even sometimes, Zhao Xun would ask herself whether she liked Ah Xiang's interesting soul or Ah Xiang didn't know anything about her past.

Zhao Xun didn't know, and he didn't dare to imagine that one day in the future, when Ah Xiang knew Zhao Xun's past, would she be as good as Zhao Xun is now.

It was like a short-lived dream in the glass castle, and Zhao Xun didn't want to wake up, nor did he want to fall asleep like this.

That day, Zhao Xun chatted with Ah Xiang very late.

When he went home, Ah Xiang offered to send Zhao home, but Zhao rejected him.

In fact, it's not that Zhao Xun is cautious, and it's not that Zhao Xun is too repulsive to people thousands of miles away, it's just that Zhao Xun is too afraid of losing.

This is Zhao's third new job, and she doesn't want to keep everyone away from her because of her past, or even hate her.

She hopes that this time her work and life will be separated, that they should have their own tracks, that they should not interfere with each other.

Ah Xiang is still the same as before, she will never question any of Zhao Zhao's decisions, nor will she ask the bottom because of any small question.

Ah Xiang learned that Zhao Xun's father was at home, and when he left, he brought the rest of the dumplings back to Zhao Xun.

After Zhao found the door, it was already very late at night.

The streets of the suburbs may seem deserted, with few vehicles left except for the occasional flashing motorcycle.

Zhao Xun looked at the street lamp that was glowing with a dim yellow color not far away, it was flashing and flashing, it may be that the circuit was short-circuited somewhere, and it had not had time to repair it.

The coolness of late autumn is overwhelming, and the few tenacious little flying insects are still tirelessly flying around the lights.

"The car at this time is not good, I'll call you a car!"

"Call one?"

"Well, a very good master, I used to take his car when I didn't drive before, and I became familiar with it when I came and went, and sometimes I called him when I was in a hurry, and the master came over."

"Then it's so late, it won't be too much trouble, right?"

"It's okay, he didn't sleep, he was out of the night train five days out of seven days a week."

"Well, that's fine, then you can give him a call and try it."

Ah Xiang broadcast the phone number of the driver, Master Liu, and sure enough, the master was out of the city in the city.

As soon as he heard that Ah Xiang had something to do, Master Liu readily agreed.

Ah Xiang said that Master Liu was a local and was about 50 years old.

Don't underestimate that although Master Liu drove a taxi, he would be powerful when he was young.

When he was eighteen years old, because his family was poor, he sent his parents out to serve as soldiers, and when he returned home, he brought back 100,000 yuan.

originally planned to use the money to marry a daughter-in-law and then buy a house, but in the year he planned to be good, Master Liu had a car accident.

Since then, Master Liu's leg has been considered semi-crippled.

After looking for a relationship for a long time, and giving gifts, I was able to drive a taxi in the bus company to make a living.

may be because of his disability, Master Liu has not been able to marry a daughter-in-law until now.

Master Liu is frugal, and he has also saved a lot of money in recent years, except for supporting his elderly parents and the elderly, he has taken out the rest of the money to donate to the children in the mountainous areas.

Master Liu said that he has a national subsidy for the disabled every year, and he is also over half a hundred years old, so it is useless to ask for that money, so it is better to take it out and do something useful to the country.

Sometimes, Master Liu would also put a few letters from the children in the taxi.
