Chapter 3: Why Part

Chapter:β€”β€”Why partingβ€”β€”

Blowing dry his hair, Gao Jingen walked to the dining table, poured two glasses of water, sat quietly at the dining table, and waited for Liu Xia to bring the noodles out of the kitchen.

"Hmm... It's so fragrant," Gao Jingen hooked his neck and sniffed the noodles on the table.

Liu Xia's boiled tomato and egg noodles are full of color, flavor and flavor, which aroused Gao Jingen's appetite.

"My sister's best thing is to cook noodles, warm brand, eat it. Be careful with scalding. Liu Xia didn't mean to be modest at all, and he was a little proud.

Gao Jingen hates the woman in front of him the most, and calls himself "sister", which makes him unable to see the love between men and women in Liu Xia's eyes, and Liu Xia's eyes only have the feelings of his sister for his younger brother.

But Liu Xia was obviously only seven hours older than him.

He was distressed, but he couldn't say it directly.

Crush is a sad thing. A word from the other party, a look, the crush will think more.

Gao Jingen had some difficulty holding the noodles in his left hand, but when he thought of this, he was even more angry, and poked the noodles in the bowl twice with chopsticks.

Liu Xia saw it in his eyes: "Do you want to poke the noodles obediently, so that they can be easily sandwiched and eaten?" ”

Gao Jingen's face turned red instantly, he forgot about the person sitting opposite him, and forgot to control his emotions.

"Hahahaha...... I'll feed you......" Liu Xia looked at Gao Jingen's clumsy appearance and laughed directly.

Seeing Liu Xia's hearty smile, Gao Jingen also laughed unconsciously.

"Ah......" Liu Xia picked up the noodles with chopsticks and motioned for Gao Jingen to open his mouth.

"Treat me like a two-year-old?" Gao Jingen's mouth was bulging, and he didn't forget to roll his eyes.

"Hahahaha...... Speaking of which...... The eldest brother's son is also five years old, right?! Liu Xia, who was smiling, suddenly sighed.

"Well, that kid looks like Gao Jiaen, and he will call me uncle sweetly, hey~ It's very noisy all day long." Gao Jingen recalled the half a month at home: "I love to laugh, and my eyes will bend into crescents when I laugh, which is like a sister-in-law." ”

Liu Xia listened, ate a big mouthful of noodles, and muttered in his mouth: "It's good, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are already married at the age of 24, and there is a crystallization of love. Liu Xia bit his chopsticks and sighed.

Gao Jingen's eyes widened, watching the chopsticks he used bite into Liu Xia's mouth: "Uh...... Are you still feeding me? …… Why don't I eat it myself?! ”

"Na, ah......" Liu Xia picked up an egg and fed it to Gao Jingen.

One bite after another, Gao Jingen ate to his heart's content. Noodles filled his stomach, and Liu Xia filled his heart.

"Oh my God, I was so focused on talking that I forgot that there were eggs boiling in the pot." Liu Xia put down the dishes and chopsticks and hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen.

"Be careful, don't get hot." Gao Jingen picked up the bowl with both hands and drank the noodle soup in the bowl.

"Give the eggs, use them to rub your eyes" Liu Xia said and put the warm eggs on Gao Jingen's eyes, and nagged distressedly: "I don't know which bad boy it is, he is so heavy, and his eye sockets are all hammered blue for us Jingen...... I'm a twenty-four-year-old adult, why is it still so worry-free?"

"It's okay to eat your noodles, I haven't seen you for so many years, and there are still so many words." Gao Jingen raised his head slightly, took the egg, closed his eyes, and rubbed his dark green eyes in a circle. Silence is not mentioned about what happened before.

"Have you seen your aunt and uncle?" Liu Xia snored, gulping down noodles, really hungry.

"My parents and they went on a trip, I waited for half a month, and they were just videos, showing off to me, how beautiful it was to have the other half to accompany the time of travel" Gao Jingen said lightly: "I've been used to it for a long time, anyway, I grew up eating dog food when I was a child, eating my parents' and eating my eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ ...... year Why did you leave suddenly and choose to join the army? Liu Xia still did not stop eating noodles.

"Failing the college entrance examination is the best choice for me." Gao Jingen had tears swirling in his eyes, he closed his eyes tightly, for fear that tears would come out of his eyes, and asked Liu Xia distressedly: "It's you?" If your grades aren't bad, why don't you continue your studies? ”

"I want to run away from that house, I'm afraid I'll go crazy if I stay any longer." Liu Xia didn't care, blurted out leisurely, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and turned around and went into the kitchen.

This made Gao Jingen's heart throb even more, the two families lived opposite the door, he knew too well how helpless Liu Xia's life was, he had a pair of patriarchal parents, and a pampered and arrogant younger brother, and the grievances and unfairness were experienced from childhood to adulthood.

But Liu Xia is still a warm and kind person.

When she comes back from work at night, she will occasionally take her favorite biscuits under the street lamp in the old alley to feed the stray cats.

She will also accept her fate, and will transfer her hard-earned money to her mother's account every month.

is such a simple and clear girl, but fate has not been able to favor her all the time.

The only grandmother who loved her left her, giving Liu Xia the heaviest blow, and she once blamed herself for not being able to be with her grandmother.

I also thought about following my grandmother, but in front of the hospital bed, on the last meeting with my grandmother, my grandmother trembled and took Liu Xia's hand, and told Liu Xia again and again: "You have to be good, be safe, don't blame your mother for ......."

Liu Xia, who couldn't cry, couldn't breathe in distress, and at the last moment, her grandmother was worried about her daughter not to be hated, obviously she was also her mother's daughter, why did her mother never think about her, or how she never felt maternal love by Liang Ru's side.

At the beginning, Liu Xia's father, when he learned that Liang Ru had given birth to a girl, had already bought a ticket from another hometown to the city, but he was stunned and refunded, and said angrily on the phone: "There is a mother to take care of you in the confinement, and I can't help you when I go back, and I will waste the fare, so I won't go back." ”

Liang Ru was angry, there was no milk in the confinement, her husband's ignorance, and the indifference of her in-laws made Liang Ru disheartened and became extremely irritable.

"Did you pick a name for this kid?" Grandma carefully hugged Liu Xia in swaddling clothes, gentle and kind.

"It's not ...... yet" Liang Ru didn't bother to look at the wrapped baby, and turned her head to look aside: "It's better to send it away." ”

"What are you talking about? Is she the cub you gave birth to after working hard and risking your life to endure the pain? The grandmother was frightened by her daughter's words.

"Mom, this child is a girl, no one cares about their old Liu family, I'm sad now, it's hard to take care of myself." Saying that, Liang Ru felt a burst of sadness, and her tears could no longer be controlled: "If she were a boy, would Liu Zekun not come back, and her mother-in-law would not ignore me......"

"Don't talk about it, don't cry, you are confined, your mother will take care of you, and you won't mention sending the child away." Grandma wiped her tears with her palm: "This child stays, let's call it Liu Xia, register the child as soon as possible, don't delay, no matter how capable the child's grandmother is, she has to admit that this is her granddaughter, and she will have another one in the future, how good it is for both children and daughters." ”

Things did not go as smoothly as expected, and those years were a year of strict family planning. Grandma Liu Xia, who was anxious to hold her grandson, did not loosen the household registration book, for fear that Liu Xia's existence would cause the old Liu family to be extinct due to family planning.

Liu Xia's aunt is not a good talker, if the household registration falls in Liang Ru's mother's house, not to mention the irresponsible remarks of the neighbors, even Liu Xia's aunt will not agree, this is not his own child after all, he is not rich, his own son is enough to worry about, and raising a sister-in-law's daughter, Aunt Liu Xia does not agree.

Liu Xia's grandmother was full of hope that her daughter could live comfortably, but she couldn't bear to give up her own granddaughter. I was so helpless that I took out the passbook: "Your father left early, this is all the savings of our old couple, Liu Xia will not spend a penny on you, as long as you loosen your mouth and let this child's account fall here, you can take this passbook now, and I will deduct the expenses of the child from it." ”

Aunt Liu Xia is a master who sees money, and her eyes are shining at the moment, thinking that she can cut a layer of oil to some extent: "Mom, what you said, I think this child is also pitiful, in the end, there is the blood of our Liang family, and I don't have much opinion if I stay." After smiling, he hurriedly grabbed the passbook on the table, put it in his coat pocket, and used his elbow to pestle Uncle Liu Xia.

Liu Xia's uncle entrusted Liu Xia with a household registration, of course, it was indispensable to invite someone to dinner, and use the money to buy gifts, which was deducted from his grandmother's savings.
