"Do you have something to ask me?" Zhao Xiaoyu turned her head, the sadness in her eyes had dissipated, and her tone was cheerful, which was similar to the melancholy appearance just now.

Wang Mengliang said slightly melancholy: "You have a bad relationship with your parents? ”

She nodded and looked at the sky, "When I was twelve years old, my parents divorced, my mother thought I was a burden, and left me directly with my dad, my dad was a perennial alcoholic, addicted to gambling, and often did not go home for four or five days, until he lost all the money on his body, he did not remember to go home." I was 14 years old that year, my father was drunk one night walking, was hit by a truck and died, since then I have lived alone, the village chief uncle saw that I was pitiful, and applied for a poor household for me, so that I could successfully finish junior high school. My mom came back out of nowhere five years ago and she apologized to me that she had to abandon me. She sighed and smiled coldly: "If I were younger, I would definitely not forgive her, but after entering the society, I realized how happy it is to have relatives by my side!" So I didn't hesitate to choose to forgive her, and we have lived together ever since. At first, I thought that I would finally be able to get my mother's affection, and she would cook for me often. We sat together in the courtyard and looked at the stars; tidy up the room together; But a year later, my mother started smoking and drinking, going out early and returning late every day, she was very addicted to smoking, and I realized that she had not just learned to smoke, but had already contracted the vice of smoking and drinking, which had been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. That's when I realized that she was just pretending to be close to me, trying her best to hide her true nature in front of me. ”

"She went to your house that day with a man who had nothing to do with me, just a stranger she hire." How desolate she smiled, Wang Mengliang felt a pain in his heart and looked at her sympathetically.

"Oh, just talking about the old past." She stretched out her arms like a bird flying high.

They had already walked to the gate of Zhao Xiaoyu's house, she pushed the door in, and looked at Wang Mengliang, "Let's go, I will explain the whole thing clearly." ”

Wang Mengliang's parents haven't left yet, they are still sitting in the living room, but Zhao Xiaoyu's mother is no longer in the house.

"Ah Liang, you're back!" Yang Feng looked at them with a slightly heavy expression.

Zhao Xiaoyu took a chair and sat down, "Uncle and aunt, this matter is all my ......"

Wang Mengliang interrupted her and said, "Mom, go back first, I'll deal with this matter." ”

Yang Feng saw that the other party was so unreasonable, since they ran out, this woman left and hung them in the house until now.

Yang Feng patted his son's shoulder, "If you remember to call, then your father and I will go back first." ”

He looked at the time, it was six o'clock in the afternoon, and there was just the last bus passing by, and his parents were on the bus.

"You can go back too!" Zhao Xiaoyu looked at him, worried that letting him live at home as a man would be easy for the neighbors to see and gossip.

"No need, I'm just outside, call me if anything." He was a little uncomfortable, but he tried his best to show normalcy, but in fact, he stayed mainly because he was not comfortable letting their mother and daughter share the same room, and he also wanted to talk to her mother again.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhao Xiaoyu's mother came back, Wang Mengliang and she were watching TV in the house, a part of this Redmi 70-inch TV was broken, it was very simple for him, and after buying new parts in a nearby commissary, it would be able to operate normally.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, this TV broke after half a year of use, although it is still under warranty, but I always feel troublesome, and I forgot about it when I dragged it." Zhao Xiaoyu handed her a glass of water and smiled with adoration in her eyes.

"Bang dang!" The sound of pushing the door came, and Wang Mengliang and her mother looked at each other, and found that she was already drunk, staggering, and a strong smell of alcohol came to her face.

"Just put her on the couch." He hurriedly went over to support the woman who was about to trip, and Zhao Xiaoyu said with disgust on the side: "She is often like this, you don't care." ”

Now that her mother is drunk, I'm afraid she'll be fine tonight. After he finished tidying up his clothes, he turned to Zhao Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, then I'll go back first, and remember to lock the door at night." ”

"Well, thank you today!" Zhao Xiaoyu sent him outside the door and waved at him.

Wang Mengliang called his mother on the way, and he said that he would go back to the county seat directly and let them rest early.

After Shen Yin finished cleaning at home today, he sat on the sofa and read a book. This book is Xu Miao's "Confessions of Loneliness", Zhou Fansheng plans to change this book into a comic, but there are too many inner monologues of characters in it, if the design is not good, it is easy to make the reader feel bored, and some scenes are too difficult to design, she has no information and experience in this area, so Zhou Fansheng asked her and Xu Bin to be in charge of the project.

At this time, Xu Bin called and said that he was going to go outside tomorrow to pick up the scenery and wanted to ask her to go with him, and by the way, he wanted to exchange ideas with her and discuss the characters and scene design of this comic.

"Okay, then we'll see you at ten o'clock tomorrow afternoon." The other party had already hung up the phone, and she was still thinking about the essentials of character design.

The door opened, Wang Mengliang walked in, sat on the sofa, and looked a little tired from his expression.

"Have you eaten dinner?" She stood up and planned to go to the kitchen to heat up the mushroom and tofu soup left over from noon.

"I don't want to eat it, I eat noodles at noon, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable." He was close to Shen Yin, and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you the medicine."

Shen Yin took a box of stomach medicine and a glass of water and handed it to him, "Eat it!" ”

After he took the medicine, Shen Yin picked up the blanket next to him and wrapped it around his body, "In the evening, my mother called and said that she wanted me to apologize." She leaned in to him and asked curiously, "What the hell did you say?" Even someone as stubborn as her can convince. ”

Wang Mengliang smiled lightly, and tapped her forehead with his finger, "If you want to know, you will make breakfast tomorrow?" ”

"Well, I don't have much to do at home anyway."

"This afternoon we went to Zhao Xiaoyu's house to see her mother." He told Shen Yin everything that happened at Zhao Xiaoyu's house.

Shen Yin frowned, not sympathy, but anger in her heart, "I think I can understand her reason for doing this, although I sympathize with her experience, but I still can't forgive her." Since her life experience cannot be chosen, but she is still responsible for her adult life, how can she hurt the life of someone who has nothing to do with her because of her childhood misfortune, isn't it a revenge to do so? ”

She has always loved and hated clearly, if you want to talk about an unhappy life, isn't it her? For so many years, she has tried her best to maintain an increasingly poor family, and only she knows the hardships of this, but she has never been jealous of others, and she just wants to let her family live a happy life with her own efforts, so she can't agree with Zhao Xiaoyu's approach, and she can't forgive Zhao Xiaoyu for hurting her.

"Xiaoyin, I'm sorry, will we live together as a family in the future? Never separate again. ”

She looked at Wang Mengliang hesitantly, because she had her own unique perception of commitment. After her mother's death, she promised in front of her mother that she would take good care of her family, so she put half of her energy into making money, and as long as she had time, she looked around for part-time jobs, just so that her sister could have money to buy reference materials, so that her grandmother could use a warm mattress in the cold winter, and she persevered for eight years for a promise.

She remembered that on the day of her wedding, Wang Mengliang looked at her affectionately and made promises, saying that she would not be deceitful, that she would tide over difficulties together, and that she would join hands with her white heads, how ridiculous these promises seem now. Although she had forgiven Wang Mengliang, she still couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart, and she didn't dare to echo the promise she made to him easily.

Wang Mengliang held her hand, "Please believe me this time, my true feelings for you can be learned, if there is a falsehood, I am willing to live in pain forever for the rest of my life, and I will not be freed!" ”

She reached out and covered his lips, "I don't need you to swear so viciously, I just need you to give me a promise, if you don't love me one day, you must remember to tell me, because I can't live with someone I don't love until I grow old." ”

Wang Mengliang hugged her, "Well, that day will definitely not come!" ”
