Chapter 343: The Journey
As soon as Xiao Han left, he didn't show up again, which made me, oh no, we were all a little unexpected. Ah Dong had nothing to do, traced her whereabouts, and found that she had changed her face in another city, working as an ordinary white-collar worker, washing all the lead, not applying powder, and even her clothes were no longer swaying like that. She didn't do anything to change her name and surname, she was still called Xiao Han, she took that fake Zhang Ruolei, she still called him Ah Lei.
Ah Lei didn't do anything, Xiao Han raised him. Every morning, Ah Lei crawled out of the warm quilt and cooked breakfast for her, and when she left, Ah Lei cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up the house, washed her changed clothes, and even washed her underwear. One day, Ah Dong pretended to be a food delivery man knocking on his door, and Ah Lei helped him open it. Ah Dong said that someone ordered takeout for you to eat.
Arley smiled and scratched his head: I am a woman.
Ah Dong asked him, "Why do you say that she is your woman?" What's your name? I was looking for someone with the surname He, maybe it was sent by mistake.
Ah Lei pushed Ah Dong out and said that I don't have a surname He. My woman sleeps under a bed with me at night, which is good for me!
Ah Dong asked again: What is a good way?
Aray said it's none of your business.
Ah Dong said, you said, I will give you this delicious food, and I will not send it to the surnamed He.
Ah Lei looked at the lunch box, then at Ah Dong, shook his head, and pushed Ah Dong to a stagger.
"My woman said, "Don't say it to anyone." That's a shameful thing, you can only do it with her, you can't say it to others. Others are bad people, and asking this is an ulterior motive. ”
Ah Dong smiled, got up from the ground, and said that the thing was broken anyway, and he had to pay for it anyway, forget it, it's cheap for you.
But Arei didn't. Arei said, "I'm not allowed to be a woman." My woman said, "You can feed me." I don't have to ask for other people's things. I don't have to ask for other people's things anymore, and I don't have to pick up other people's things. She's good to me!
Adong broadcast the whole process.
I said, Adong, no one wants you to follow Xiao Han. You're back.
Ah Dong pointed the camera at himself, Ah Dong in front of the camera was wearing the costume of a delivery man, and said no, I really found a job as a food delivery, and I can earn seven or eight thousand a month, working from more than five o'clock in the morning to more than twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. It turned out that the price of the order would rise after half past ten, so I ran until more than twelve o'clock, returned to the collective dormitory, and slept upside down, without taking a shower.
Some people always want to belong, and some people always want to wander.
After that, Ah Dong did not contact us much. Sometimes when I go to pick up Mason, I look back and forth at the gate of his school, will Ah Dong be hiding somewhere? Could he have come back secretly? Doesn't he want Mason?
Mason was silent at times. Once, I saw that his eyes were fixed on my WeChat contacts on the phone for a long time, and one of them was Ah Dong. Adong means something different to him, we all know it.
I found several hospitals for Gao Tiancheng and contacted many doctors, but Gao Tiancheng did not go to see him. The two of us had a heated argument over this. Eventually, he asked me if I hated him.
I looked at him and suddenly I started crying.
He hugged me, and no one ever talked about going to the doctor again. Sometimes it rains, winds, and snows, and I'm afraid that his leg will hurt.
Just let him stay at home. He always agreed, but I walked on the front foot and left on the back foot to go to the Su family, Gao Tiancheng is a capable man, the Su family was almost half dead before, he was bold and long-sleeved and good at dancing, and it didn't take a few strokes to make the Su family rise and fall back, and the next plan is to merge with the Zhang family to prepare for the listing.
I think it's risky to go public.
"We are a local private enterprise, we have no ambitions, and there are profits and risks in going public, not to mention that we don't know much about capital operation, it's really like someone in the movie who is hostile to buyover, and we may not be able to resist."
I thought there was going to be a fierce and long tug-of-war between us, but, no, he just stared deeply at me and nodded in agreement. It went so well that it made me doubt my life.
Mason and he still have a good relationship, and the two of them have talked about Adong together, of course, behind my back. After dinner that day, I said that I was a little tired and wanted to go in and lie down for a while, the two of them were in the living room, and two men, one big and one small, sat side by side on the sofa.
I didn't just eavesdrop on it, I just entered the door and wanted to go back and pour a glass of water to drink, and the bedroom door had just opened a small crack. I heard Mason talking to Gao Tiancheng seriously.
"Dad, Uncle Adong is not here because you are back?"
My hand stopped, and my heart pounded, like I had done something wrong. Even the ears suddenly roared, like an airplane running by.
I pursed my lips and listened intently to Gao Tiancheng's answer.
"How can you think that?"
"I started to think that Uncle Adong was my father. Later, when you came back, I learned that you were my real father, but Uncle Adong always treated me like a father. I miss him so much. ”
Gao Tiancheng was silent, probably then took Mason into his arms, and then listened to him let out a long sigh.
"Do you want Dad to come back? Or do you want Uncle Adong to stay with you? ”
"I ----," Mason said aggrievedly. "Of course I want you all to stay with us. But I also understand that people can't be too greedy. With you by my side, I'm also very satisfied. But...... I really miss him sometimes. I don't know if he's doing well? ”
He seemed to be crying, but Gao Tiancheng did not say anything to comfort him.
After a long time, Mason calmed down, and Gao Tiancheng agreed to accompany him to his toy kingdom to play for a while.
"But be quiet, Mommy is sleeping."
"Yes." Mason was full of breath again.
"Dad, do you love your mother very much?"
The footsteps of two people, I closed the door. Sideways back into the shadows behind the door.
"Love, of course."
"Then why weren't you with her when you gave birth to me?"
"Alas!" Gao Tiancheng's voice, "You don't know how much I want to be by your side at that time." But at that time Dad ......"
The voices of the two grew apart. I closed the door and crawled back into bed in the dark.
A few days later, on vacation, Gao Tiancheng took me and Mason out. It was a mysterious journey, we were not consulted beforehand, and we were not told where we were going when they took us away. Mason was very excited, and the scenery on both sides of the highway quickly fell backwards, disappearing into the sky
The verdant blue of the sky, the wind tearing it to pieces, the occasional herd of cows or sheep, all of which excited him. He wasn't tired, he jumped up and down, his little nose flattened against the window, and his exhaled breath blurred the window.
I probably know the destination of this trip in my heart, and Gao Tiancheng actually spoils Mason so much.
Sure enough, I arrived in the city of Adong. Ah Dong is not difficult to find, he is still looking down at his phone when we are about to walk in front of him, obviously it is not the peak of food delivery, several riders are gathering together to talk and laugh.
He wears a uniform outfit for food delivery, an electric bicycle, and a boxy insulated lunch box with a black and yellow background in the back.
He ------ my heart a little sour, why bother to be so difficult for myself? He didn't have to live like this!
I forced myself to smile naturally, but for some reason my eyes always felt a little hot. Mason didn't rush towards Ah Dong like ordinary children, holding little hands and little swallows, and the three of us approached him little by little, until his companions noticed our group, Ah Dong was still immersed in his own phone world.
He used to be a person who never liked to play with mobile phones, maybe he was too lonely and lonely in a foreign land.
Who knows!
Finally someone realized that we were looking for Adong, someone touched Adong, Adong may have agreed, and then raised his head to look at the person around him, and the person snorted at us, and Adong noticed. He froze instantly, and the phone fell to the ground. The person next to him picked it up and handed it back to him.
He sat still.
Mason also stopped, and I saw his little mouth flattened, tears rolling down his eyes, and he raised his arms and stubbornly wiped them away, biting his lower lip to keep himself from crying.
Ah Dong watched from a distance, then turned his head, and when he turned his head again, I saw him whirling towards Mason like a wind, and I couldn't see how he ran to Mason's side so fast. By the time I could see it, Mason had already been picked up by him, and Mason let out an exclamation above his head.
The two of them hugged each other again, and Mason finally cried.
Ah Dong hugged Mason's head tightly, put his gloved hand into his hair, rubbed and rubbed, and wrinkled his hair, Mason burst into tears, and Ah Dong did the same, one big and one small, the big one wiped the tears of the small one, the small one wiped the tears of the big one, and wiped it on the other party after wiping it. I really don't understand men. They cried and laughed. I turned my back, and when I came, I repeatedly told myself that I couldn't cry when I saw Adong, but I still couldn't hold back.
Ah Dong asked for leave, he said that he couldn't do it if he didn't ask for leave, and the current system has GPS.
"Let's go! I invite you to dinner. Adong said.
Gao Tiancheng was noncommittal, I also know that at this time, I can't rob Adong, and let him do his landlord's friendship.
Ah Dong hugged Mason.
I said you put him down, you don't take it too seriously.
Ah Dong couldn't look at Mason, just one glance, any insistence was enough to make him fall. How could he refuse this child who had been brought up by himself? That's his life, we all know, that's his life!
He came to this strange city, but his life was always in another city.
"That's right." Adong put down Mason, "I'll make a call." He said. I had an appointment today. He looked ashamed.
"Huh?" Gao Tiancheng and I looked at each other meaningfully. Could it be that he has a new life in this strange city? I also caught a glimpse of some old pictures on his phone screen, some of Mason's, some of mine, some of Gao Tiancheng, some of us together, some of each other, and he kept pressing the back button and then unplugged the phone.
"Xiao Han? Yes, I, Adong. Be. I can't get over today, you eat, don't wait for me. Who? The Meizi family is here. ”
Xiao Han?
I couldn't help but look at Gao Tiancheng again.
Ah Dong smiled at us again, leaned over, took Mason in his arms, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Xiao Han? You? "I can't help but ask, this kind of gossip can only be asked by me.
Ah Dong smiled, "It's all in the same city, so it's fate." I delivered the food, the meal she ordered, you know, I saw that it was her, I wanted to transfer the order, but no one answered, there was no way, so I had to deliver it. When I got there, I saw that it was really her. ”
This is legendary!
When I arrived at the hotel, Ah Dong had time to tell us in detail.
"Her boss was scolding her when I went, you may have never seen Xiao Han like that. She bowed her head and was silent, letting people scold her ancestors for eighteen generations, and she didn't say a word, or yes, she should be said, and she picked up what the other party liked to hear, until the old woman who looked quite perverted at first glance stopped. Waiter! ”
Seeing that Ah Dong is a frequent customer here, his voice is really loud, and the waiter is a little girl in her twenties, running over with a sweet voice with three plus signs.
"Brother Dong, here?" Her face was already red, and the girl didn't know how to hide her thoughts, so she fell in love with Adong at first glance.
Ah Dong picked up a few of our favorite side dishes and asked for the main food. He was busy arranging the dishes for everyone, and I noticed that his hands were not shaking now, and he seemed to be a little fatter and stronger than he was then.
What does it matter where people are? It's best to be so happy!
And who is not wandering?
What does it matter where you wander?
"And then?" I couldn't help but ask.
Ah Dong didn't look at me, he hadn't looked at me since he saw Mason, even if I asked him any questions, he never looked at me and answered, but his eyes were either staring at the ground or staring at Mason.
He also rarely looked at Gao Tiancheng.
"I've been out there waiting for the old woman to finish scolding. Yo, Mason, tall. You're tall. He said, he poured out the orange juice for Mason, "Drink this." It's really freshly squeezed, and they never cut corners when I come here. ”
Mason took a big sip, and the fluff on his lips was stained with yellow orange juice.
Ah Dong pulled a tissue from the table, smiled and helped him wipe it clean, looking focused.
The speed of serving food in this small restaurant is not slow, and the waiters serve the food one after another, only to hear Ah Dong continue: "When she finished scolding, I wanted to hide, for fear that she would be embarrassed to see me, but I didn't think about it."
She wasn't embarrassed at all, and stuck her tongue out at me. Seriously, it's the first time I've seen Xiao Han with this side. She really washed the lead, although she was scolded, but she behaved like a child. I remember a celebrity who said that the best love is to turn a woman into a child. At that moment, I thought that she might have really met her true destiny. Although she is not understood by the world, Xiao Han is such a woman, she has never cared about the world. The world was ----- joke to her. ”
I could tell that Ah Dong originally wanted to say the word "fart", but because of the presence of Mason, he later changed the word to "joke!" ”
"Brother Dong, your dishes are ready. This is added. "Just now the little girl is still in charge of our table, I saw a dessert added to the middle of the table, the shape is not bad, this girl is a careful person, knowing that there are children in it, must love sweets.
Ah Dong thanked him coldly.
Mason leaned over and followed Adonpi.
"Uncle Adong, do you want to be my little aunt?"
Ah Dong made a gesture and knocked him on the head with chopsticks, "You can eat your food." This, this, and this, delicious. Mason shrank and squinted in fright, and the plate in front of him was already piled up into a small hill.
I complained in my heart, this Ah Dong, Gao Tiancheng, and Mason are afraid that they will be spoiled by the two big men.
"'She scolded you like that?' I asked Xiao Han at the time. Adong said.
"She stuck her tongue out at me again. ' I sang as her. 'Why are you here?' ”
Xiao Han was also very strange at the time, "Did Meizi ask you to spy on me here?" ”
Ah Dong shook his head.
"Then you -------" Xiao Han is such a smart woman, she immediately understood and made a statement. "I understand, I can't stand it! Is it? Watching his beloved woman go in and out with others every day, the most important thing is that he really can't snatch love. Just leave. ”
Xiao Han said in one word. Ah Dong was blushed by her, and the atmosphere was slightly embarrassed, so Ah Dong turned around to leave, and the things he didn't want to face were the same as the questions he didn't want to answer, so of course he had to run away.
Xiao Han was not a gossip person, but he still stopped him.
"Adong, give me the phone."
Ah Dong hesitated, but still gave her the phone. When he called her, Ah Dong asked again.
"You're not angry? With your power, why bend to be here? ”
Xiao Han smiled, "Ah Lei taught me a good method, keep chanting in my heart, 'don't listen to Wang Ba's chanting', if your boss or customer scolds you, you can also try, it works." ”
Ah Dong couldn't cry or laugh.
Xiao Han continued: "What is there to ask! Aren't you the same? With your resume, a department manager is not enough? In fact, like you, sometimes others scold and scold you, tired, starting from the bottom, but I feel like I have lived again. Isn't that how people live their lives? Lie to others, lie to yourself. In fact, it's not easy to deceive others or yourself, but you have to live a good life. I'm fine now, and the money I earn back to support me and Arei is at ease.
”
Ah Dong wanted to ask, "Why are you with a fool like Ah Lei?" ”
Thinking about it later, I didn't ask.
After that, the three of them often get together, sometimes they eat a small restaurant outside, four or five dishes for three people are enough, Ah Lei doesn't drink, Xiao Han doesn't drink a drop of wine since he was with Ah Lei, and a few people chatted while eating, and went home to their heart's content. Sometimes I also go to Xiao Han's house to eat, it is to catch up with the weekend, and when Xiao Han is not working overtime, Xiao Han will make a few special dishes, and at that time, Ah Lei will be allowed to drink drinks, and Ah Dong will be allowed to drink a can of cold beer. The two men would look at his face and act.
"Xiao Han's cooking is actually delicious." Ah Dong concluded, "Ah Lei is especially popular. You don't see that picture, and it will upend all we know about these two people. Ah Lei can buy vegetables now, and many vegetable vendors in this vegetable market know Ah Lei, and they don't bluff him or slaughter his scales. He will buy vegetables, and he will also give Xiao Han a hand, every time we finish eating, he cleans up the mess, Xiao Han does not do it, he is anxious with her, saying that he will be distressed. ”
Ah Dong paused, "To be honest, that's the most true and touching love story I've ever heard in my life." I began to understand Xiao Han slowly. ”
