Chapter 38: I'm Sorry

"This... I don't really know. Fang Xiaoyuan stared at the road ahead, as if he was concentrating on driving, and as if he was seriously answering Zhang Liandi's question: "I don't understand the business that Brother Jun does, in fact, he hasn't contacted me in the past three years... I miss him a lot, too. ”

Again, a vague answer.

Zhang Liandi was silent for a long time before she said, "Xiaoyuan, did you tell your aunt that something happened to Xiaojun?" If you know, just tell me, okay... Don't lie to me that he is going abroad to do business, and he doesn't even have time to call me in any business... Xiaoyuan, you haven't been a mother, you don't know that being a mother is always concerned about your own children, I think of him, even if something happens to him, you have to tell me, Xiaoyuan, even if your aunt begs you, if you know, it's not good to tell your aunt? ”

This time it was Fang Xiaoyuan's turn to be silent.

Snow began to fall outside the car again, Fang Xiaoyuan sighed secretly, he really didn't like winter!

After Zhang Liandi finished speaking, she kept looking at Fang Xiaoyuan with an expectant expression, as if Fang Xiaoyuan would tell her in the next second: "Brother Jun is at home, we can see him when we go back." ”

But Fang Xiaoyuan just tightened his face and pinched the steering wheel tightly without saying a word, and said softly for a long time: "Let's go home and talk about it." ”

Zhang Liandi's hopeful face instantly turned into disappointment, she knew that after returning home, Fang Xiaoyuan would definitely talk about her old lady again.

But this time Fang Xiaoyuan didn't, probably even if she wanted to be perfunctory, there was still one at home waiting for her to settle the bill.

As soon as Fang Xiaoyuan drove the car into the yard, Ju Gao took Mr. Pi's family of four to greet him, standing five steps away from the car and watching.

Fang Xiaoyuan got out of the car and beckoned to Ju Gao: "Don't stand there concave shape, come and help carry things." ”

Zhang Liandi followed and got out of the car, and when she saw such a handsome guy standing in front of her, she turned her head to Fang Xiaoyuan and asked, "Xiaoyuan, is this ......?"

He moved himself to the trunk of the car silently, and was also waiting for Fang Xiaoyuan's answer.

"Oh, he, it's me**" Fang Xiaoyuan's tongue seemed to cramp suddenly when he said the last two words, and he suddenly pulled out the keywords.

High and slightly wrinkled.

Zhang Liandi didn't hear clearly, stretched out her head and asked again: "What did you say?" ”

Fang Xiaoyuan secretly glanced at Ju Gao, and knew that this guy must be unhappy when he frowned lightly, so he simply replied: "His name is Ju Gao, and he is my husband." ”

Ju Gao was satisfied, his brows stretched, he nodded at Zhang Liandi, and opened the trunk after shouting 'Hello Auntie', but he was slightly stunned after seeing the two snakeskin bags, and then carried the two snakeskin bags back to the house without changing his face.

Zhang Liandi was stunned when she heard this, her expression showed a trace of confusion, three years ago, when Fang Xiaoyuan stood in front of her for the first time, claiming to be coming to see her for Dajun, she felt that this person must be her daughter-in-law, otherwise who would want to come to see her, an old lady from the countryside.

The old lady has always known that Fang Xiaoyuan is very good, a very beautiful girl, she never dislikes her, she works neatly and sweetly, it is really a blessing that such a good boy can find such a good girl.

But no matter how good a girl is, her son hasn't been in touch for three years, and she doesn't even care about whether she knows cold or hot, which girl will wait stupidly.

Zhang Liandi was a little difficult to accept this information for a while, Fang Xiaoyuan was married to someone else, so she had nothing to do with herself, so how could she be embarrassed to trouble others.

Zhang Liandi was poured a breath of cold air before she let out an 'ah', and asked at a loss: "Xiaoyuan, are you married?" ”

Fang Xiaoyuan couldn't say why, he just felt weak, he didn't dare to look at Zhang Liandi, and stared at his shoes with a 'hmm'.

Seeing that the two of them suddenly became awkward, he gave a voice in time: "Fang Xiaoyuan, hurry up and let Auntie come back, isn't it cold standing outside?" ”

"Ah, yes, Auntie, come in." Fang Xiaoyuan pretended to be nothing, and took Zhang Liandi's hand and walked into the house.

Zhang Liandi suddenly became uncomfortable, walked two steps and stopped, opened her mouth and said, "That, Xiaoyuan, or you should send your aunt to Xiaojun's house... It's not a good fit for me to live here as an old woman, and you young people are certainly not used to it. ”

Fang Xiaoyuan disagreed, and continued to pull home: "What is inappropriate, this is your home, you can do whatever you want, replace it if it is not pleasing to the eye, sleep in whichever room you want, your old man just wants to sleep on the table on a whim, even if Ju Gao and I squat on the ground to eat, we have to vacate the place for you, come in, don't ink, it's too late for the army to love and harmonize with her daughter-in-law now, how can you care about you, an old lady." ”

Fang Xiaoyuan's mouth slipped smoothly again, and even Zhang Liandi was embarrassed to refuse, so she could only follow into the house, Fang Xiaoyuan immediately took her slippers and took her to visit the room, and the old lady sighed about the decoration configuration in the villa until she came to the last room upstairs.

The old lady was stunned as soon as she entered, it was full of photos of Tang Zhengjun, from childhood, college, just entering society, wearing a suit and smoking cigars, and wedding photos with Fang Xiaoyuan.

There are many of these photos that Liandi has never seen, seeing her son grow from a small person to a man, the old lady cried unconsciously, she hasn't seen Tang Zhengjun for more than three years, she hasn't heard his voice, I don't know if he's fat or thin... Or was there really an accident. The mother of the child is worried, Zhang Liandi is sick, her body is not as good as a year, and she often thinks crankily when she is alone, no matter whether it is good or bad, she will eventually pull her worried heart.

Zhang Liandi stood in front of a 36-inch wedding photo, Tang Zhengjun was already very thin at that time, and the wig on his head was actually a wig, and the lens was magnified like carrying a black plastic bag, how awkward it looked. Only those eyes, no matter how they were magnified, were not distorted, and they still had his original style.

Fang Xiaoyuan stood behind Zhang Liandi, looked at those eyes seriously for a long time, and then spoke: "It was taken three years ago, at that time... Brother Jun had a serious illness. ”

Zhang Liandi's heart froze, and the bad feeling was strong again, and she didn't dare to ask her son what was sick. But since Fang Xiaoyuan said it, she didn't plan to continue to hide it, and she didn't want to perfunctory the old lady again and again, and then she showed disappointment after seeing her full of expectations again and again.

Since it's all pain, it's better to have enough pain at once.

Fang Xiaoyuan pondered for a moment, but still planned to take it step by step, so she sat down on the bed first, and thought for a while before speaking: "I met Brother Jun when I was twelve years old, at that time he happened to rent a house in our alley, and my family didn't care about me, Brother Jun took care of me for a few years... Later, he took care of me all the time, and at that time he often mentioned you to me, saying that my mother's cooking was the best, my mother's shoes were very comfortable to wear, and my mother's so... I was very envious of what I heard, because I didn't have a mother since I was a child, and every time I listened to Brother Jun, I would think how good it would be if I had such a mother. ”

Fang Xiaoyuan looked at Zhang Liandi's slightly trembling shoulders and paused, and continued: "It's liver cancer, he even hid it from me at that time, and by the time I knew it, it was already at an advanced stage, and there was no way to look at it anymore... He said that the only thing he can't let go of is you, in order not to make you sad, how long can he hide it, at least he wants you to be happy all the time. ”

"What kind of truth is this......" Zhang Liandi suddenly spoke, and the whole person froze on the ground, as if she couldn't speak anymore, and raised her head to wail.

Fang Xiaoyuan stopped his mouth, and the two of them were in this room, one was crying loudly, and the other was crying silently. Jugao stood outside the door and sighed......

It's really a scene that people don't know what to do.

Zhang Liandi has lived for the word 'son' all her life, she is diligent and honest, what she wants is very simple, that is, the child can grow up healthy and healthy, and then marry a daughter-in-law and have a child, and it is very good to be ordinary and ordinary all her life.

But she never thought that one day she would send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. Cancer, what a terrible name, not to mention that it is still advanced. But what hurts her the most is that she didn't even see the last side of her son, and she hid it for three years, and her son took root in the ground, and she really believed that her son was doing business abroad.

"Auntie... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. ”

Fang Xiaoyuan didn't know what else to say, so he could only apologize vigorously. Zhang Liandi didn't seem to hear it, sitting in the place with a numb face, staring at the wedding photo with her eyes wrong. Fang Xiaoyuan stood up to help her, but Zhang Liandi raised her arm and threw her away, like a protest and blame from an honest man of Muna.

Fang Xiaoyuan knew that the old lady was blaming herself now, and the news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, splitting Zhang Liandi first into tears, and then losing her soul. But even so, Zhang Liandi didn't even want her to touch it at the moment, and she must have resentment in her heart. Fang Xiaoyuan was helpless, so he had to adjust the temperature of the room up and sit on the ground with her.

The two stayed silent for a long time, even though the temperature in the room had risen, the coolness on the floor tiles still spread along Fang Xiaoyuan's vertebrae to the surroundings, slowly spreading to the limbs, she looked up at Zhang Liandi, guessing that the old lady's mood had almost stabilized now, and she should be able to listen to people, so she whispered: "Auntie, don't be sad, Brother Jun, he definitely can't bear to see you so sad, I know it's wrong to hide this from you, but everyone doesn't want to see you sad before making this decision... Auntie, it's right to raise children to prevent old age, although Brother Jun is no longer here, but you still have me! Although I don't have the ability to make a lot of money, I am willing to take care of you... Auntie, you know, I don't have a mother, if you want, you can treat me as your daughter, you can tell me if you have any troubles and discomforts in the future, I can serve tea, pour water, laundry, cook, and I can do these things...... Okay Auntie, don't be sad, okay? ”

After Fang Xiaoyuan expressed his sincerity, Zhang Liandi still didn't make a sound for a long time, as if she was going to sit down as a statue, considering the coolness on the ground, Fang Xiaoyuan boldly touched her shoulder with his hand, fortunately, Zhang Liandi didn't shake it off this time, but she still ignored her motionlessly.

Fang Xiaoyuan sighed silently, and cheekily pulled Zhang Liandi up and helped her to the bed: "Auntie, you're hungry, I'll cook for you, I'll definitely be tired after a day in the car, don't think about it, let's rest first." ”

After saying that, it was as if she could no longer stay in this room, and she went out first.

The army stood outside the room, and as soon as Fang Xiaoyuan opened the door, he stared at him face to face.

Fang Xiaoyuan: ......

Army:......

Fang Xiaoyuan: "... When did it come? ”

Army: "When you first recognized your mother." ”

Fang Xiaoyuan: "... Do? ”

Army: "What are you doing, you picked up my aunt, I can't come and see it yet." ”

Fang Xiaoyuan flashed to the side: "Yes, let's go and take a look, and go and coax by the way." ”

When the army heard the coaxing, he also had a headache, and complained: "Why do you tell the old lady, you can coax the ground and coax the dead son this day, and it will be good if you don't go down to find him." ”

"Get out of here." Fang Xiaoyuan lazily talked nonsense with him, kicked him in, immediately closed the door, and listened to his ears.

As soon as the army rolled in, he saw Zhang Liandi sitting on the bed with a numb face, her eyes had swollen into a slit, and her old face with the ravines and ravines looked funny and pitiful.

"Auntie." The army sat down next to Zhang Liandi, hugged her shoulders very affectionately, and rubbed his face: "I want to // die // me." ”

When Zhang Liandi heard the voice of the army, her eyes finally rolled and put it on his face. The face of the army is still a little similar to Tang Zhengjun, especially the eyes are with their respective mothers, and the peach blossom eyes are particularly good-looking.

"Xiaojun..." Zhang Liandi raised her throat and howled when she saw the army: "What do you say you have done?" Your brother didn't tell me when he was sick, he was my son and my heart, and he didn't let me see him for the last time when he died, why are you such a bastard...... Oh my great handsome...... I dreamed of him yesterday, saying that I was married to Xiaoyuan... But you've joined forces to deceive me..."

The army immediately stroked Lian Di's back and comforted him repeatedly: "Oh aunt, look at your crying, my cousin said that you want to know, maybe you have to cry like this every day, then he is not at ease when he leaves, if you want to complain, just blame me, don't complain about Fang Xiaoyuan, people are a good big girl who has no name and no share, in order to take care of my cousin from 100 catties to 80 catties, it is not easy to lose weight from 100 catties to 80 catties, besides, my cousin's illness is also not good, I know that everyone is unlucky in this matter, but don't you still have a big nephew, I just said from Fang Xiaoyuan, I am willing to take care of you, It's not good, okay, okay, don't cry. ”

No one who has died can be coaxed by relatives in a few words, Zhang Liandi is not good at words, and she will only say one sentence over and over again: "I didn't even see the last side of Dajun." ”

The army coaxed for a long time and probably had nothing to do, and also retreated silently, Fang Xiaoyuan had already gone downstairs to start a fire and cook, and when he saw the army coming over, he asked directly: "How is it, can the old lady eat today?" ”

The army shrugged: "It's not bad not to smoke it, and you still expect to eat, you said that you have been hiding it for so long, why did you suddenly say it today." ”

Fang Xiaoyuan poured the vegetables into the pot, the green leaves immediately sparkled as soon as they touched the salad oil, she knocked the edge of the pot with a spatula irritably, and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I want to speak?" Do I wish she had amnesia? But I don't talk about how I introduce Ju Gao to her, saying that he is my cousin or concubine, is he willing to be high? Besides, can I hide it for the rest of my life? I'm not going to get married. ”

The army sighed, knowing that Fang Xiaoyuan couldn't complain about this, and turned out of the kitchen without knowing as her.

The old lady was really sad and showed signs of hunger strike, locked herself in Tang Zhengjun's room, except for crying or being in a daze, she stayed for a whole week like nothing serious, and then fell ill.

Fang Xiaoyuan hurriedly sent her to the hospital, busy running in and out of the front and back, her mental state was not good, but her face was a little worse this time, and within a few days, Fang Xiaoyuan, who was beaten by iron, was also sick, with a cold and fever and cough, and directly lay in the hospital and hung a drip with Zhang Liandi.

In this way, the people who only opened their mouths and didn't do things at home couldn't wait for ready-made meals, so they could only make do with some food, but the sick number couldn't be casual, so Ge Xiaoqing volunteered to take the job of 'cook', of course, he was extremely happy, but when he faced Ge Xiaoqing and kept asking Zhang Liandi who he was, it was a little difficult to speak for a while.

This question seems a bit difficult to answer.

Said she was Fang Xiaoyuan's relative? Again, it's not.

Say she's an old lady with a particularly good relationship? Nor is it appropriate.

Anyway, I can't say that the old lady is the mother of Fang Xiaoyuan's ex-boyfriend. If Ge Xiaoqing knew, with her character, she would not be allowed to make a fuss after drinking three jars of vinegar.

He didn't know what he said, anyway, Ge Xiaoqing didn't want to listen to it in the end.

But not to mention, there are always those people around who can't keep their mouths idle, such as the army, who chatted with Ge Xiaoqing quite happily when he first came to visit the door, and the army also expressed surprise, claiming that Ge Xiaoqing has such a good character, how could such a beautiful and enthusiastic person give birth to such a stuffy oil bottle as Gao Gao.

Ge Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Who knows? It's the wrong seed. ”

High: ...... As if he didn't want to hear it anymore, he turned around and left.

As soon as he left, Ge Xiaoqing asked with a smile who is Zhang Liandi in the army?

The army was defenseless and replied loudly: "It's my aunt." ”

Ge Xiaoqing nodded as if he suddenly realized: "Oh, so you and Xiaoyuan are also relatives?" ”

Jun shook his head: "No, I only met Fang Xiaoyuan because of Brother Jun, Brother Jun is my cousin, he likes Fang Xiaoyuan, Fang Xiaoyuan almost became my cousin-in-law, but Brother Jun was blessed, died early, left a lot of family wealth and didn't have a life to spend, and finally cheapened Fang Xiaoyuan." ”

Ge Xiaoqing let out an 'oh': "Brother Jun is...?" ”

Army: "It's my aunt's son." ”

Ju Gao, who turned his head and came back, just heard this: ......

Ge Xiaoqing made eye contact with Ju Gao: ......

The army that suddenly realized the identity of the other party: ......
