321 This woman she has seen
Su Siqi heard a big movement in the next room early in the morning, as if Su Qirong was moving something, she listened with her ears pricked up for a while, and ran over with her shoes down, Su Qirong was really moving the closet.
"Dad, early in the morning, what are you doing?"
"Throw this out, it's too crowded in the house."
Su Siqi was stunned for a moment, this old wardrobe is Su Qirong's baby, the old furniture was eliminated during the New Year, and everything else was thrown away, Su Qirong did not agree to throw this single-door wardrobe, and the two also argued about it. I didn't expect him to figure it out again now.
While helping, Su Siqi teased her father: "Old man, isn't this your sweetheart?" How can you be willing to throw it away? ”
"What a heart and liver baby, although it is a little old, it can still be used in the house."
"Why don't you want it again?"
"Do you think there is still room in this house?" Su Qirong pointed to the room full of things: "It's all given by others, a little care, it's not good not to accept it, the house is going to be full." ”
Su Siqi looked at the various packaging boxes and plastic bags piled up on the wall, all of them were given by relatives and friends, and they were not very valuable, they were sent in with a smiling face, and his father was thin-skinned, so he didn't accept it, but the gift he returned was definitely no less than the one sent in.
"Old man, the closet is just right there for these things, so don't throw them away."
"Incongruous." Su Qirong slowly moved the wardrobe to the door and slowly pushed it out: "You pull a handful in front of you and put it on the stairs, I'll ask your cousin to get it." ”
When Su Siqi heard that she asked her cousin to pick it up, she knew that her father had already made up her mind, so she stopped persuading and helped to get the wardrobe to the side of the stairs and put it.
When she finished washing and changing her clothes, she already heard her cousin talking downstairs, so she shouted, "Cousin, come up, I'll help you get it down together." ”
Su Qiang answered from below, and ran upstairs, "Sisi, I don't need you, my brother is alone, you leave the point, be careful of bumping." ”
Su Siqi said: "Cousin, you can't do it, don't even fall down with the cabinet." ”
Su Qirong heard her being reprimanded downstairs: "Sisi, how do you speak, don't you hope your cousin is a little better?" ”
Su Siqi grimaced at her cousin and didn't dare to say anything.
Su Qiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, my brother doesn't have any other skills, his strength is still quite big, you take a hand in the back and look at it." ”
Su Siqi said hello and helped to put the wardrobe on the back of his cousin, although the cousin was idle, he still had a handful of strength, and carried the wardrobe to the door, Su Qirong also came to help, and the three of them carried the wardrobe to Su Qiang's farm vehicle together.
When Su Qiang left, he also joked with Su Qirong: "Uncle, when don't you want your set of Chinese-style furniture, say hello, I'll move it." ”
Su Qirong scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, are you worried about your uncle's new furniture?" Wait for the day my uncle closes his eyes and think about it......"
Su Siqi frowned and glared at him: "Old man, quickly spit out and say again, saying such an unlucky thing early in the morning." ”
Su Qiang laughed, "Sisi, you are really your uncle's daughter, and you speak in the same tone." ”
When her cousin left, Su Siqi said, "Dad, I have nothing to do in the morning, just tidy up your house and throw away all the things you don't want." The old does not go, and the new does not come. ”
"Okay, you go and collect it," Su Qirong said, "I went to Uncle Rong's house, and his water pipe leaked and asked me to take a look." ”
"Have you had breakfast?"
"Eat, yours is in the pot, it's still hot, go eat it." After Su Qirong finished speaking, he left.
Su Siqi went to the kitchen to bring out breakfast and ate it, drank a cup of hot tea, and went upstairs to tidy up her father's room.
Su Qirong has saved all his life, he is reluctant to throw away anything, the wardrobe is full, and many old clothes from the past are still kept, Su Siqi cleared them out one by one and packed them, planning to take them to the town to donate.
There was Su Qirong's underwear in the big drawer under the wardrobe, neatly folded, she turned it roughly, it seemed that they were all being worn now, there was nothing to tidy up, and she was about to close the drawer, and suddenly saw a lilac dress at the bottom, she had never seen her father wear purple clothes, so she couldn't help but be curious, and pulled it out.
When I opened it, it was a women's dress, the style was a little old, but the material was not bad, and it was slippery in my hand.
Su Siqi was stunned, her father had been widowed for many years and had always been alone, how could there be a woman's clothes? She flipped through it again, and found that there were two more underneath, both of which were shirts, both of which were thin and slippery materials, which looked very high-end, and she took the clothes under her nose and smelled them, a smell of mothballs, which looked a little old.
Su Siqi looked at the three clothes in a daze, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, it was left by that woman!
Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed to be excited, as if it were something else, and she had no time to tell the difference, but she turned her clothes over and over again, as if to find clues about the woman.
The clothes are not old, and you can see the wheat head behind her, she checked it with her mobile phone, it is an old brand in China, the price is not cheap, in that era, it will not be ordinary people who can wear this kind of clothes. But her father's salary back then was not high, how could he buy her such expensive clothes?
She took the clothes and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. I can't tell what it's like in my heart, from childhood to adulthood, this is the only thing she has ever gotten about her mother. She couldn't be mistaken, the clothes could only be her mother's, or they wouldn't have been neatly folded under her father's underwear.
These clothes have been around for at least 20 years, and there is no mark on them in the rainy season, which shows how carefully my father treasured them.
When she was young, she always wondered what her mother looked like. She had no object from her mother, no one to tell her a word about her mother, only imagination, and she always imagined her mother as a gentle, virtuous, dignified and beautiful woman, with beautiful eyes, a tall figure, and a gentle smile. After being sensible, the image of the mother completely changed, and she became a woman who hated the poor and loved the rich, bitter and mean, and selfish, she hated that woman, hated her for abandoning herself and her father.
Now these clothes can prove that the woman was really greedy for vanity, otherwise she would not have asked her poor father to buy such expensive clothes.
She became angry at once, threw her clothes on the ground, and before she was relieved, she stepped on them a few more times. She hated that woman, felt sorry for her father, she had been gone for more than 20 years, and she still treated her clothes as a treasure!
Her chest rose and fell violently, her eyes turned red unconsciously, she gritted her teeth and held on for a long time, and finally forced her tears back, she wouldn't cry for that woman, even if that woman died, she wouldn't shed a single tear.
After sitting in a daze for a long time, she picked up her clothes again and stuffed them into another drawer, and she hadn't figured out what to do with them. Anyway, she wouldn't let the clothes stay at home anymore, but she had to test her father's tone first, and if he didn't agree, she would find a way to dispose of it.
Standing in the middle of the room, she thought that if her father still had the woman's clothes, then maybe he would also have a picture of her, and if she looked carefully, she might be able to find it.
But are you really looking for it? For so long, she never thought to know anything about that woman, four years ago Shen Mengqing said that she would find it for her, with Shen Mengqing's strength, she believed that she should be able to find it, but she didn't want to, because it didn't make any sense, when she was young, that woman had already made a decision, and she didn't want to change anything.
She continued to tidy up her father's things, but as she was done, she rummaged through the cabinets, all the cabinets and drawers were opened and rummaged through, and the books, work notes, and envelopes were all carefully sorted out, and even in the pockets of clothes hanging in the closet, she rummaged through them, but there was nothing.
Was it not, or did she not find it?
Su Siqi's eyes swept over everything in the room one by one, she lay under the bed, took a photo with her mobile phone, there was no cassette or anything like that, the photo frame on the wall was also removed, and the back cover was opened, but she still didn't find it.
She was unwilling, watching the time pass minute by minute, Su Siqi closed her eyes, and her brain was running fast: those clothes were placed under her father's underwear, indicating that she was very close to him, and if there was a photo, she must have placed it very close to him......
She looked again at the bed where her father slept, it was new, painted a beautiful azure, and she lifted the sheets and touched them carefully in the quilt, touching every inch of it, and still not. The quilt is very thin, and it can't hide anything, so there is only a pillow, which is the closest place to the head.
Su Siqi looked at the big pillow, and suddenly became a little nervous, the pillow is old, it has been used for many years, but the pillowcase is not old, it was only changed last year, she originally wanted to replace the pillow together, because it looked a little deformed, her father insisted on refusing, saying that he was used to sleeping, and it was not necessarily so comfortable to change one.
She didn't think anything was there when he said that, but now ...... Su Siqi's heartbeat accelerated again, and she had a hunch that there must be something she wanted in the pillow.
She peeled off the pillowcase and threw it aside, pressed the pillow little by little, touched it again, and still didn't find anything, she looked carefully at the four corners of the pillow, and found that the color of one of the stitches was wrong, as if it had been opened, and then it was made up.
Touching around, she touched a hard object, her heart suddenly jumped wildly, and she slowly hooked the thing to the side with her fingers and took it out, it was a small silver heart-shaped pendant, carved with patterns on it, and it looked like it was some years old, and it was estimated that it was a token of love between my father and that woman.
She touched the edge with her hand, as if there was a small hidden button, and with a light touch, the lid opened, revealing a small picture inside.
Because she was too small, Su Siqi had to take it to the window to see, the woman in the photo was very young, very beautiful, with smooth hair, big black eyes, those eyes seemed to be able to speak, looking at Su Siqi with a smile.
Su Siqi only felt a shock in her heart, her hand shook, and the pendant fell to the ground, making a soft and crisp sound.
She turned pale and stared at the pendant on the ground in disbelief.
This woman she has seen.
