Chapter 16: Spring Water Under the Sad Bridge [16]

Siyu blushed and walked out of the cafΓ© with Peng Youbin, but she felt her heart beating like a drum, Peng Youbin called her: "Xiaoyu, ...... at night"

"Or ......" Siyu turned her head and interrupted him with a smile, but her words suddenly choked in her throat.

Peng Youbin clearly saw her smile and suddenly condensed at the corner of his mouth, and even his pupils shrank suddenly.

So he turned his head and followed Siyu's gaze, and four steps away, there was a middle-aged couple.

The man was wearing an ordinary tile-gray jacket, his eyebrows and sword eyes became more and more resolute under the baptism of time, he put his arms around his wife's shoulders in one hand, and carried large and small plastic bags in the other, which were full of fresh fruits and vegetables, and his eyes were staring straight at Siyu. His wife wore her long hair loosely, and her eyebrows were crooked, but after the years passed, she was more gentle, but also an ordinary shirt and knit. She covered her mouth with her hands sadly, the environmental bag in her hand had already slipped to the ground, and a fat potato rolled out of it, which happened to stop at Siyu's feet - it turned out that the woman had already burst into tears.

Peng Youbin understood for a while.

Siyu felt that his eyes were unbearably dry.

She bent down and picked up the potatoes at her feet, and then put them in the bag, and then she got up with the bag, handed the bag to the woman, and said, "Mom, the thing has dropped." ”

"Siyu? You're back. Zhi Zhiyuan looked at Siyu in surprise, the last ray of light fell on the girl's face, and the eyebrows and eyes were vaguely crooked when she was a child, but the childishness had completely dissipated. With neat long hair and a simple suit, he instantly felt like seeing Zou Ziying, who was resolute in the workplace more than 20 years ago, Zhi Zhiyuan thought.

He immediately came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows, and said excitedly, "Oops! Siyu has grown so big, you are really, Ziying, my daughter finally came back, why did she cry instead of talking and laughing? Zou Ziying sneered, and finally barely held back her tears, Zhi Zhiyuan looked at the extraordinary man beside Siyu, and said, "Young man, are you Siyu's boyfriend?" It's good to be really young and promising! ”

Peng Youbin smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "Fortunately, father-in-law." My name is Peng Youbin, and I am Xiao Yu's husband. ”

Zou Ziying and Zhi Zhiyuan were both surprised, they looked at Siyu at the same time, and Siyu nodded. Zhi Zhiyuan hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it back, saying, "We went to buy vegetables, and we plan to cook a big meal in the evening, and you came back just in time." Come, Ziying, hurry up and call your daughter and son-in-law home for dinner! Zhi Zhiyuan patted Peng Youbin's shoulder and walked ahead. Peng and Bin understood, he nodded to Siyu, and then he followed Zhi Zhiyuan across the road first.

Zou Ziying's eyes were red, she didn't turn her head and tried her best to hold back her tears, and after a while, she finally said: "Siyu, I'm not ......"

"Mom! Don't talk about it, let's go home first. When Siyu saw her mother like this, she was even more flustered, so she grabbed Zou Ziying's arm and crossed the road.

Zhi Zhiyuan and Peng Youbin were already waiting for them at the door of the security room, and the two security uncles came out to watch the excitement as soon as they saw someone. When they saw Siyu carrying Zou Ziying over from the side of the road, they all smiled and said, "Lao Zhi! Your daughters are so old! looks really similar, this woman has changed eighteen times, and she is getting more and more beautiful. ”

"Huh? Isn't your daughter working in the field? It's good to look at it. ”

"In the past, you husband and wife were always sad, but now it's good that she's back!" ……

Zhi Zhiyuan was happy for a while, and he also said a few more words to them, and when he saw them coming, he was even more overjoyed and anxious to go home. Siyu has been with Yi Youqian for four years, and she is extremely familiar with human affairs, so she is not in a hurry to go back. After thinking about it in advance, she took out a pack of Pu'er from her shopping bag and gave it to the two security guards, saying, "Thank you two uncles for taking care of my parents in the past few years. ”

Where is there such a good tea in the security room? So they took it with a smile on their faces, and said, "Yes!" You're welcome! Thank you, Xiaozhi! Go back to dinner with your parents! ”

The three people were waiting for her next to her, Peng Youbin narrowed his Danfeng eyes with great interest, Zhi Zhiyuan rubbed his nose and said: "It's still Siyu and careful, but I didn't think about it, forget it, go home!" ”

So, Zhi Zhiyuan put his arm around his wife's shoulders and strode home. It was still a small but clean plastered cement staircase, Peng and Bin also held Siyu's hand, and they followed Zhi Zhiyuan upstairs to go home, Peng and Bin whispered in Siyu's ear: "I suddenly found that we were invincible together." ”

She asked in surprise, "Cheng Xiaoding called you?" How many points did Lin drop? How much did you buy? ”

He snorted and said, "That's not what I'm talking about, I didn't think of delivering tea." ”

"And what do you think of?" She asked.

He lifted his chin and said, "You'll know right away." Oh, it's home. ”

Zhi Zhiyuan took out the key and opened the door, and then Siyu heard a noisy sound from the TV stereo in the living room.

Zhi Zhiyuan walked in front, and after he entered the door, he said loudly: "We're back!" And then he went inside.

Zou Ziying stopped at the entrance.

Siyu and Peng Youbin also walked into the entrance, and Siyu found that the network TV in the living room was on, and the latest Iron Man movie was showing on the screen.

"Daddy! You're back! Suddenly, a clear child's voice came into Siyu's ears. I saw a boy who was only five or six years old jumping off the sofa, and quickly ran from the living room through the dining room into the kitchen with two calves, Zhi Zhiyuan was busy putting the dishes on the counter, so the little boy opened his hands and hugged Zhi Zhiyuan's thighs, and said aggrievedly: "Dad, I really want Iron Man." ”

Siyu was stunned, she slowly walked to the kitchen door, looked at her mother in disbelief, and then turned her head to look at Zhi Zhiyuan, she saw that Zhi Zhiyuan's shoulder was obviously shocked, and even the speed of breaking the cabbage slowed down, he said to himself: "I'm really happy and confused, I forgot that Siyu never knew ......."

Siyu's hand let go, and the shopping bag in his hand was scattered all over the ground.

The little boy also spotted Siyu, and he walked towards Siyu and looked up at Siyu curiously. Siyu slowly squatted down, she reached out and stroked the little boy's head, this child was born with a tiger's head and crooked eyebrows. He smiled without fear and said, "Is my sister here as a guest?" Good evening, sister! ”

Siyu stroked the little boy's shallow eyebrows with her thumb, and it was easy to calm down a little of the turmoil in her heart, and she asked softly: "My good girl, tell my sister, what is your name?" How old are you? ”

"Sister, my name is Zhi Siqi, and I am six years old this year."

Siyu looked up at Zhi Zhiyuan, he was also looking at Siyu, and Siyu said, "You should also have your own children." ”

Zhi Zhiyuan's face turned white, and Siyu said again: "When I handed in the copy of the household registration book in elementary school, I saw that Zou Siyu was written in the column of his name. ”

The living room is connected to the dining room, Xiao Siqi didn't pay attention to the atmosphere, he glanced at the Iron Man projected in the living room, and took La Siyu's hand. Siyu lowered his head again, and he asked expectantly, "Sister, you bought a lot of things, is there Iron Man in them?" I want Iron Man so much! Siyu was speechless for a while, and she stumbled and said, "Siqi, I'm sorry, I'll buy it tomorrow, sister...... Sister doesn't know, it's ...... you" She could only look at Xiao Siqi with a pouting mouth and a little gloomy gaze.

"Of course I did! Xiao Siqi, come here to find it! It's in these bags! Find it and it's yours! Peng Youbin said loudly in the hallway, Xiao Siqi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at the source of the sound. Peng Youbin walked over, lifted the shopping bags scattered on the ground, and then put all the shopping bags on the dining table.

Peng Youbin smiled and watched Xiao Siqi excitedly rummage through the shopping bags one by one, Siyu was angry and anxious, she pulled the hem of his windbreaker, and whispered: "Why are you lying to him, I didn't buy any Iron Man at all!" ”

He said, "How do you know I'm lying to him?" After all, now that I'm here, if I can conjure up Iron Man, how about you accompany me tonight? ”

"You're not a trickster, let's speculate on stocks together, children can't be fooled. No, I'm not with you? ”

"Watch a movie with me. Well, I'm Peng and Bin. Siyu knew that he had a wrong idea, and he was blocked and had nothing to say, so he was in a hurry on the side.

Who knew that Xiao Siqi persevered in rummaging, and really found a dark gift box, the center of the lid of the gift box was aimed at a sign with gold dust, Xiao Siqi happily called "Ouye" when he saw the sign, and then he couldn't wait to open the gift box, surrounded by white silk satin, it was a copper Iron Man figure, glowing with a faint streamer under the white woven lamp, Xiao Siqi lifted Iron Man up and shook it, and then turned his head to smile brightly at them, and said: "Brother is out of his word, and the horse is difficult to chase!" Thank you brothers and sisters! ”

Then, Xiao Siqi took Iron Man and ran upside down to the sofa and sat down.

Peng Youbin raised his eyebrows proudly, he smiled at Siyu, who was already stunned, and said, "Remember to watch a movie with me at night." Now I'm going into the kitchen to help my father-in-law, and I think you and your mother-in-law need to have a good talk. ”

Zou Ziying was still at the entrance, she lowered her head. Siyu paced over, Zou Ziying's eyes were still red, and Siyu took her hand and sat on the sofa. Xiao Siqi was still looking at Iron Man with fascination, and he didn't feel anything strange at all, it can be seen that he is not very close to Zou Ziying, Siyu said slowly: "Mom, I'm doing well now." ”

Zou Ziying just lowered her head and didn't speak.

Zhi Zhiyuan is quick to do things, Peng Youbin is also a person who has been in the kitchen, Siyu and Zou Ziying just sat in silence for a while, and the five dishes and one soup were ready, all of which were some home-cooked dishes. At the dinner table, Zou Ziying was still silent and buried in the rice, Xiao Siqi was playing Iron Man, and Zhi Zhiyuan also started to talk as a matter of course, constantly chatting with Peng and Bin, Siyu found out that Peng and Bin had also learned French, so the two could talk extraordinarily.

Although Siyu hasn't eaten the dishes cooked by Zhi Zhiyuan for many years, looking at Zou Ziying's dejected appearance, she always doesn't know how to eat.

After dinner, Peng Youbin helped Zhi Zhiyuan wash the dishes, and Siyu and Zou Ziying sat silently on the sofa.

"Mom." Siyu finally screamed softly.

Zou Ziying's lips moved, but she said to Xiao Siqi on the side: "Siqi, you go back to the room to read." ”

Xiao Siqi finally realized that the atmosphere was wrong, so he nodded and went back to his room with the Iron Man figure.

The air began to be depressed, and Siyu looked at his mother who bowed her head and was silent, but she felt so sad and uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe.

Time freezes little by little, minute by minute, by second.

Peng Youbin and Zhi Zhiyuan finally finished washing the dishes and came to the living room. Standing up with a sigh of relief, she took a deep breath and said to Peng Youbin, "Aren't you going to watch a movie with you, let's go." Dad, I'm coming to see you another day. ”

Peng Youbin and Zhi Zhiyuan were both stunned.

Zhi Zhiyuan said "oops", then said "wait" and ran into the master bedroom, after rummaging through the cabinets, he took out a savings card and went out to the living room, saying, "Siyu, you take this money." ”

Peng Youbin naturally shirked it, but Siyu walked up and grabbed Peng Youbin's arm and was about to go out, she just said, "Dad, we are not short of money, we have to leave in advance." ”

"I'm sorry! Siyu! Zou Ziying, who had been silent, couldn't hold back any longer, she was like a trapped beast, she suddenly raised her head and screamed sadly, and then, her tears fell down, and then she began to cry.

Siyu's footsteps froze for a moment, and she was still holding Peng Youbin's hand, but she turned around and looked sadly at her collapsed mother, Zou Ziying.

Seeing this, Zhi Zhiyuan immediately put the savings card on the coffee table, and then went to hug Zou Ziying's shoulder, he kept comforting: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't blame you, I don't blame you." ”

"No, just blame me, blame me!" Zou Ziying shook her head in despair, she was crying, and at the same time she looked up at her daughter and son-in-law who were leaving, she could only gesture with her hands helplessly, and said incoherently with a heavy cry: "Wen Yan! Wen Yan! I...... Siyu, it's me, it's my fault! Like that white crystal, why should I take it? It was gone, but he gave me an identical, even more beautiful one, and I took itβ€”I loved him, he was good to me, I loved him. He treats me badly, and I love him. I'll never forget him again. But it was clear that they were already together later, but I was obsessed with it, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered so much, and you wouldn't have dropped out of school.

"Although you don't say your grievances, I know, I know everything, but it's obviously my fault, I even cowardly escaped, I don't dare to face them head-on. So I forced you to marry and ask you to send money, and I asked you to send money when you are wandering, even if you have money now, how can I accept it? I can only save all my money and hope that you will forgive me one day.

That breath stopped her.

"It's me, I shouldn't have broken off the connection with him in the first place, so I have you. It's me, it's me who loved him alone, even if I leave, I still can't forget that he gave birth to you, because you are his child. Zhiyuan was so good to me, I finally gave up and threw that piece of white crystal to you, but the paper couldn't hold the fire, you were still discovered, I know Ziqiong hates me, but what does it have to do with you? Just because she hates me like that. After all, I made you desperate, you left without looking back, and then there was no news for seven years, it was all me who harmed you, it was me who harmed you, I was the culprit, I forced you away!

"But I actually conceived Siqi at that stall - after you left, what did you tell me to do to him? Obviously you are still suffering, how can I be at ease? I don't dare to get too close to Siqi, I don't dare to get too close to happiness, every time I see him staying at home and being loved by my father, I think of you, you are so pitiful, for him, for him you are a non-existent existence. Zhiyuan loves me so much, and he treats you so well, but I still deprive you of your last happiness......"
