Chapter 120: At 2:12, the rain is falling, and it's over
The small table that usually sits four people seats six people today, and Wang Menglai used to eat by himself when he was standing alone, but today he also sat in at the strong request of the three adults, although it was crowded, but it was barely enough to sit. Because there were a lot of people, Jiang He deliberately went to fry again.
It's warm to eat at a table, especially Wang Mengling. Since she and Zhu Xiao have gone through each other, they have become more and more eager for true family affection. It can't be said that it's not family affection, it's just that that kind of family affection is not what she likes.
The people at today's table are all people she trusts, relies on, and likes.
At the dinner table, they talked about work from the length of the family, and then talked back to their three children from work, which is nothing more than letting them get along well, and this time the elders in the family are all on the same front.
Wang Mengling was eating and tears fell, she was full of replaying the past in her mind, she used to think that she really hated them, but now she found that they were still good.
The atmosphere was warm, and Wang Zhishu suddenly said to them: "Menglai, Mengling, the last thing a girl can't lose is wisdom, because the outside world is too false, and wisdom is needed to see the truth." β
"Grandma, do you think I'm fake?" Jiang He grinned in front of her and said.
Wang Zhishu pinched his face dotingly, and said with a serious face: "It's quite thick." β
None of them could hold back their laughter.
Jiang He took advantage of everyone laughing at him, secretly glanced at Wang Menglai, and found a little sign of glacier melting on her face, then his heart was like a spring flower blooming.
"Yes, Jianghe, why didn't your mother call you back? It's all coming to me. Wang Zhishu asked deliberately.
Jiang He immediately glanced at her again, and immediately twisted away when he felt her look over, his eyes blinked violently, he coughed twice to keep himself calm, and finally came up with a suitable reason:
"Everyone says that the people in City B are good at reading, so don't I want to study more here and then go back to stabilize my first position? And it can also drive the friends around you to become better, so staying is for the benefit of others and yourself? β
Wang Zhishu glanced at him, and then looked at Wang Menglai, but Wang Menglai did not have the slightest smile on his face.
"Okay, let's eat, Shunye, eat more. You're all here at noon. β
"I'm not polite to you, but let Meng Ling practice her hands, and let her make it for us at noon." Wang Shunye said and took out a few ten-yuan sheets from his pocket, the money was crumpled and scattered, I don't know how long it has been in my pocket. After counting, about sixty or seventy, he stuffed all the money to Wang Mengling, "I'll use this money to buy vegetables at noon." β
Thinking that Wang Shunye used to be inferior to his pocket money a month, and he didn't know how long he had saved this money. Wang Mengling accepted it with distress in her eyes.
After the meal, Wang Mengling finished collecting the table and washing the dishes alone, and Wang Menglai and Jiang He didn't let her help her.
The days are slowly getting better, and even beautiful people can't believe it.
That afternoon, Zhu Xiao and Wang Shunye went to get a divorce, and Zhu Xiao returned his salary over the years, which was not much, only 50,000. Wang Shunye didn't want to worry about her, and even if she continued to be entangled, the house could be given to her, as long as the daughters could take care of it.
After the divorce, everyone's life finally calmed down, and Wang Mengling slowly learned to accept it in such days, and she became the original Wang Menglai. And Wang Menglai is striding towards the great future that should have been hers, without confusion or fear.
16 years will be the first year for Wang Menglai to shine.
It's the rivers that are bad.
In the morning, Wang Zhishu said that he was dissatisfied with his stay here, and in the afternoon he was given a plane ticket, which was handed over by Wang Menglai's hand.
Of course, of course he was taught a lesson, oh no, in fact, strictly educational.
Everyone knows Wang Menglai's eloquence, of course he won't refute it, but also because she is Wang Menglai. Just because you don't get angry doesn't mean you don't have a cold war.
They hadn't spoken for a long time, as if a century had passed.
Again.
Jiang He ignored Wang Menglai, and Wang Menglai would not take the initiative to find her.
Every day, the person who looks at the window across the street is seriously looking down at things, no matter who looks up.
In the evening, after dinner, Jiang He quietly walked into her door, she was studying as always, and when she saw him come in, she only glanced at him lightly.
The look pierced him and made him feel like the old days were back.
He gently approached her side: "Wang Menglai, don't use this look on me." β
Then she looked up again with numbness and strangeness.
And this look, this expression. Donβt.β He said very seriously.
"Jianghe, isn't there enough homework?" She asked calmly.
There was no ripple in those big watery eyes.
Jiang He felt that when she said this, the test papers on her bookshelf were radiating a dazzling and burning light. He subconsciously swallowed his saliva and got back to the point: "Don't run away from the problem. I'm here to quarrel with you. β
"We don't have a fight." She went back to the exam papers.
Jiang He saw that she was so devoted, so he admitted defeat.
He was ready to go: "Well, I really shouldn't have come at this time. β
Wang Menglai glanced back at him, smiled and did his homework again.
Quiet night, lonely in the hustle and bustle, the wind also blowing.
No matter how he walked this night, he felt that it was not suitable to go out tonight, and sure enough, it was still suitable to sleep at home at night.
Went home and locked the door, every part of the bedroom was very relaxing for him.
βYouβve been hiding it all for so long~β
The phone rings, but think about the usual time there is no phone, look at the phone time is more than eleven o'clock. Who would call him without sleeping at this point?
Look at the screen "Mom" again.
immediately answered the phone, and before he could speak, the voice on the other end of the phone was calm: "Jianghe, you take your grandmother home tomorrow morning, your grandfather's health is getting worse and worse, come and accompany him more." Take that little girl with you, your grandfather has been talking about her for a few days, thinking that she is not willing to call her when she goes to school. Don't worry so much about it at this point. Her sister wanted to come with her. I'll help you book your flights. Don't tell your grandmother, bring her over without telling her, she's timid. β
Jiang He's breathing paused instantly, and the wind that came in through the crack in the window was blowing on him, as if it was cutting his heart.
The phone slid from his hand to the ground, and Wang Menglai was interrupted by this sound.
The two looked at each other.
Jiang He's eyes flashed, and Wang Menglai was still indifferent.
"Grandpa," he struggled to say well, "I'll take you and grandma to see grandpa tomorrow morning." β
Wang Menglai panicked, she leaned forward leaning forward on the table, trying to see the subtle changes in the expression on Jiang He's face: "Grandpa, what's wrong with grandpa?" β
Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.
"He's getting sicker."
Wang Menglai sat down on the stool, slowly lowered his head, and his face wrinkled tightly.
No one slept that night, no one could sleep. Wang Menglai cried all night, and every time the tears flowed until the numbness stopped, when he remembered Grandpa Cheng's care in the past, he couldn't stop crying. Jiang He is not better than her.
finally stayed up until the day, and when the sky was still bright, he hurriedly cooked for his grandmother, and rushed to Province A with good food.
Wang Menglai washed up early in the morning, Wang Mengling knew that she was leaving, and said in her ear: "Sister, I can resist some for you for the time being, but you must come back." Indeed, I am inferior to you. I don't know what to do without you. β
Wang Menglai spit out the mouthwash in his mouth, smiled and looked up and touched her head: "It's okay, it's all slowly getting through." I won't leave you behind, I'll definitely be back. Are you going or not? β
"I... I'll forget it. She lowered her head and struggled and said, "It's going to be an exam again, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up." Grandpa Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely get better. β
"Definitely." Wang Menglai repeated firmly.
After simply packing up, he was ready to leave, and Wang Menglai said goodbye to his family. The three of them took a taxi to the bus terminal and continued to take the bus all the way to the airport.
The ticket was hot in his hand, and the two people beside Jiang He looked weak, and he had to stand up.
Still waiting anxiously in the lobby, the call came in again.
Eventually, the bad news is coming.
I haven't had time to get on the plane to province A, but I have to rush back.
On the phone, they said that Cheng Dali had just died.
The last sentence before dying was: I want to go home.
So they are arranging to send him back and go all the way at high speed, because Cheng Dali is afraid of heights.
The phone was amplified at the request of Wang Zhishu, and when he learned the result, he almost fainted from crying in the hall.
Originally, Wang Menglai was crying to death at home, but now when the bad news comes, not a single tear has fallen.
Returning the same way, extremely depressing.
Wang Menglai fell into a trough and collapsed. The days of waiting were so hard and painful.
A few days after Cheng Dali's funeral, she didn't shed a single tear, so she sat quietly by the coffin, cherishing every minute and every second to accompany him on the last journey. Say goodbye to him with difficulty.
There were a lot of people who came to give her a hug, but each of them hugged like a walking corpse.
Her mind seemed to wither,
But everyone also knows that she will not let herself sink forever. Because she had a reason to stand up.
Jiang He couldn't even see indifference in her eyes now, and all that was left in her eyes was dead ashes.
They are all sad and have no time to care for others.
Wang Mengling cried in front of the coffin every day and said a lot of regretful words. Wang Zhishu secretly shed tears in the house alone. Wang Shunye and Zhang Cuicui were also by their side. Wang Menglai has been shrinking in that corner, unwilling to say anything, not even shedding a tear. Jiang He also took care of these people in addition to grief, telling them to eat a little, and it was okay to eat less, but he would not eat if he could.
Everything is like a nightmare, which has cut a deep knife in everyone's heart, and can only be forgotten by time.
Two days later, Cheng Dali was buried in the cemetery closest to home, and after the funeral, everyone returned home. Wang Menglai stood in front of the tombstone and was always reluctant to leave.
Looking at the kind smile in the photo, she couldn't believe that this person had walked out of his own life. Before she had time to be filial to him, she never had a chance. He hasn't had time to see what he looks like now, and he is no longer the girl who was wronged and willful before. She didn't even have time to see him for the last time.
He has loved himself so much since he was a child...
The person who loved her the most in the world since she was a child, gone.
The muscles were stiff, and it was not easy to look up, and when I saw this blue and distant sky, the sun was shining warmly everywhere, I finally realized that it was already a new day.
Wang Menglai pulled a gentle smile on her face, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa, I'm leaving, I'll come to see you next time." β
It was the first thing she said in two days, and when she was silent, Jiang He made her mouth.
She tried to speak, but her voice was too hoarse and her mouth was silent, and only she knew what she was talking about.
Jiang He came and answered the call under a tree on the side.
"Condolences. But it's time for you to come back. "I can't remember how many times Tao Gu has urged him.
"She can't hold it anymore," his tone was unusually firm, "I'm going to watch her get up." β
hung up the phone and saw that Wang Menglai was already wiping tears. He immediately ran over and crouched down in front of her.
He turned his head and said, "You have been kneeling at home for too long, and I will carry you out." β
Wang Menglai shook his head and walked past him, Jiang He grabbed her hand and said in a deep voice, "One last time." β
She was finally willing to accept his kindness.
Not far from the door, he stopped inside the door, Wang Menglai only needed to take a step by himself and step out of here. It's not an easy step. She almost cried, but she struggled to endure it.
He then took Wang Menglai home.
No one spoke for a while, quietly accompanying each other.
The years are quiet.
When he passed by Yunhe East Road, he saw several cars parked on the side of the road, and Jiang He's parents were sitting inside, obviously waiting for him.
He reluctantly put her down and gave her the car along with it.
"Wang Menglai, I really have to leave this time, but I don't want to go, you,"
His eyes told Wang Menglai that he wanted her to say something nice.
Wang Meng couldn't make a sound, but he understood the lip-shaped river. As he once said to Wang Mengling: "If your sister is standing in front of me, I probably know what she thinks in her heart." β
"It's like a dream," she said. β
"Is that okay?" He lowered his eyes and smiled palely.
In fact, he is saying: Is there really such a simple way to forget you?
"Yes." She said calmly.
She seemed to be urging: Let's go.
"Good luck to me." He looked up into her eyes and smiled brightly, a smile she knew all too well.
--I listen to you.
"Good luck."
--There will be no time after that.
Jiang He turned his head and left, and every step seemed heavy.
Years later, he recalls this scene and still feels like it in his heart:
On the east road of the canal in B city, I remember that the metasequoia was yellow that day, floating all over the sky, like a huge ceremony to bid farewell to the summer and leave, it was sad and beautiful. Wang Menglai stood there, still as cold and distant as the first time I saw her, and when I said I was leaving, she nodded.
That side is the last side of our lives.
I knew that this was a goodbye after this side, and I believe that someone as smart as her must have guessed it. So she pushed me away countless times.
Our encounter has done more harm than good to each other, but I don't regret meeting her, and I believe she doesn't regret meeting me.
Don't ask me where I got my confidence, I just know her.
In fact, the few times she dreamed of me, I also dreamed of her. Also, the time she scolded me and left me, I knew she came back to me. I also know that she was behind the scenes to get me to go early, but regardless of cause and effect, I will understand this time because I owe her too many times to understand. As long as it makes her happy, I'll do it.
I hope she'll be happy when I'm gone.
- The moonlight is so beautiful tonight (end)
- I wish myself a happy birthday in advance!
