166 red agate
After a busy day, the house was finally emptied, and Su Siqi began to paint the walls the next day.
She folded her hat with newspaper and put it on her head, wore old clothes, and worked happily with a paint roller. While rolling the wall, he also sang: "I am a stuccomaker, I have strong painting skills, I want to paint the new house beautifully, paint the roof and the wall, the brush is like flying, ouch my little nose, change the ......"
Su Qirong went upstairs to see her: "Sisi, you take a break, let Dad brush it." ”
"No," Su Siqi was actually a little tired, but she didn't want her father to be affected. "Almost, just make up the corners and you're done."
Su Qirong took a brush and made a small pot of paint to fill the corners. Su Siqi looked back and said, "Oh, old man, go down, don't get dirty on your body, I'll be done soon." ”
Su Qirong said: "You have been working since you got up in the morning and have not stopped until now, you rest, I will do it." ”
Su Siqi didn't follow: "I really don't need to, you hurry up and sort out your own house, and start cleaning your house tomorrow." ”
"Let's brush my house last, otherwise there is no place to sleep, first brush the living room, and after brushing, I will move down to sleep, and then my house can be vacated."
"Okay." Su Siqi finished rolling the last wall and came over to snatch the brush from Su Qirong's hand, "Don't get it, go down and prepare a hearty lunch to treat me." ”
Su Qirong had no choice but to leave.
Su Siqi has been used to doing housework since she was a child, and she is very quick to do her work, and she quickly repaired the corners and corners of the paint, looking at the new house, she has a sense of accomplishment, stretches her waist, and runs downstairs to drink water.
Today is rare and sunny, the sun is shining, people can't help but feel good, there is no reason not to go out for a walk in such a good weather, while the meal has not yet started, Su Siqi said hello to her father, and walked slowly along the path behind the house.
Not far from her house was a nursery with all kinds of flowers and trees, and she planned to check them out, and if there were good ones, she would buy some and come back to decorate the room.
Even though it's winter, the nursery is full of life, and it looks like it's all shades of green.
When Su Siqi went in to pick flowers and plants, she unexpectedly ran into her childhood friend Li Anqi. They have similar temperaments and personalities, and they have been playing together since elementary school, because they both have a Qi in their names, and they joke that they are a double Qi combination. Later, they were admitted to college, and their contact did not decrease, so they played together during the holidays. Later, Li Anqi graduated from college and married in other places, and lived a life of husband and children. I rarely come back even for the Chinese New Year. Since then, their ties have slowly been severed.
Such a chance encounter made both of them very happy, and they didn't pick flowers and plants anymore, but sat on the wooden pier and chatted.
Li Tianqi is a chatterbox, and told her about her twin daughters, saying how naughty and disobedient they are, saying how hard she is and how tired she is, and the family is like a battlefield every day, a mess, and there are always things on the ground that can't be cleaned up. The two children were always arguing and fighting. She has to do housework again, and she has to watch them, she is really exhausted, her husband is working outside, and when she comes home, she bows her head and plays with her mobile phone, she doesn't care about anything, and sometimes she sees her murderous child, and scolds her. It's all tears!
She chattered endlessly, but Su Siqi heard a hint of happiness from her exaggerated words. The life of firewood, rice, oil and salt seems to be bland, but it is actually really happy.
Li Tianqi finally took his mouth, smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm tired of listening, right?" As soon as I poured out the bitter water, it was endless. ”
Su Siqi also smiled: "I also want to pour such bitter water, but unfortunately I don't." ”
Li Tianqi said, "Siqi, why aren't you married yet?" Aren't you in a good relationship with your boyfriend? ”
Su Siqi shook her head and sighed with emotion: "We broke up." ”
Li Tianqi was really surprised: "Why? You like him so much, and he treats you so well, I was envious at that time, I thought you were really lucky, you could have such a boyfriend, why did you break up? ”
"It's no fate," Su Siqi sighed, not wanting to say any more.
"It's a pity," Li Tianqi looked stunned: "Such a rich man......"
Su Siqi was stunned: "He is rich?" ”
Li Tianqi asked her rhetorically: "Does he have no money?" I gave you so many good things, and you gave me a bracelet that I wear all the time, you see. As she spoke, she showed her wrist, and there was a string of red agate on it, exactly like the one she had seen in the iron box yesterday.
What's going on? Su Siqi looked at the string of beads in a daze: "This is what I gave you?" ”
"yes, you forgot? You have a lot of red agate like this, so you gave me a string, it's ......" Li Tianqi thought for a while and said: "It's the winter vacation of the year when I was about to graduate from college, I went to play with you, you showed me a lot of beautiful things, and you gave me this string of beads." said that those beautiful things were given by your boyfriend, I still refused to ask for it at the time, saying that your boyfriend gave you, how embarrassed I was to take it, you said it doesn't matter, he has money anyway, just ask him to buy it again. Then you talked to me about him, and said that although you had not been dating for a long time, he was very kind to you, and that if his family agreed, you would marry him after graduation......"
Su Siqi was stupid, Li Tianqi was definitely not talking about Lin Haonan, but she couldn't remember when she fell in love again after Lin Haonan?
Who did she fall in love with? Could it be Fang Zhuo? Only Fang Zhuo said that they had a brief period.
The strings of agate beads, and the plaid handkerchief, kept flashing in her mind, how could this be? What did she forget?
Suddenly, her scalp was numb, and she remembered what Shen Mengqing had asked her: "Why don't you remember me?" ”
This sentence was like a faint blue lightning, and it hit her at once, it was Shen Mengqing! She had a relationship with Shen Mengqing, but for some reason, she didn't remember, so he asked her like that, and she still remembered the painful expression on his face, the expression of despair as if she had lost the whole world made her frightened, she always thought it was her drunken hallucination, Shen Mengqing wanted something, he couldn't be desperate, but now......
Su Siqi suddenly stood up, "Tianqi, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that there was something else, so I left first." ”
Li Tianqi hurriedly stood up and wanted to say a few goodbyes to her, but Su Siqi seemed very anxious, turned around and hurried away.
When I got home, the meal was just on the table, Su Qirong saw her come in, and quipped: "Yo, our painter is back, wash your hands and eat, today Dad made the tamales you like to eat." ”
Su Siqi smiled, went to the kitchen to wash her hands and came out to eat, but she didn't seem to be interested in the bowl of tamales, Su Qirong saw that she only had two chopsticks in total, he thought it was not delicious, he tasted a chopstick, it was still the previous level, so he asked: "Sisi, is the tamales not delicious?" I don't think you've eaten much. ”
"It's okay," Su Siqi said, "It's delicious!" She reached over with her chopsticks and put a piece of meat in her mouth, chewing it for a long time and not swallowing it, it didn't look delicious.
Su Qirong felt that something was wrong with his daughter: "Sisi, why are you listless?" Are you tired? ”
"Kind of." Su Siqi didn't have the energy to deal with her father, Li Tianqi's words shocked her, and when she recalled it carefully, there were indeed many strange pictures that had flashed in her mind, but the man in the picture always blurred a face, so that she couldn't see it really, it was like a daydream in a trance and it was gone.
"Look, don't you be too tired to do it, you don't listen, you're out of energy, right? Don't do it in the afternoon, get a good night's sleep, recuperate your spirits, and do it again tomorrow. ”
"It's okay, Dad, just roll one more thing in my house, take advantage of the good weather today, and it'll be dry after rolling."
"Then dad will do it, you rest."
Su Siqi didn't want to fight with him, and said, "Then I'll do half of it, and you can do the rest." ”
Su Qirong nodded in agreement, he glanced at his daughter, and said cautiously: "Sisi, do you have anything on your mind, don't keep it in your heart, tell Dad, call you back, I didn't ask anything, I thought you would take the initiative to tell me, is it Lin Haonan who ......?"
"Dad, don't ask," Su Siqi said: "You're right, we have been together for too short a time this time, and it is really hasty to decide to get married before we get to know each other." A lot of things have happened in this period, but it's all in the past, and now I'm fine, and I quit my job and want to stay at home for a while and be with you. That's it. ”
Su Qirong knew that something big must have happened, otherwise his daughter would not cancel the wedding and go home early, nor would she quit her job, but she was unwilling to say it, so he would not be reluctant. His daughter is sensitive and strong inside, and he believes that Su Siqi can overcome himself and come out of the shadows.
"You can stay at home for a while longer, Dad is so happy, money is inexhaustible, companionship is more important, whether you accompany me, or I accompany you, there is fate in the past life, you can be a father and daughter in this life, Sisi, stay longer, Dad will definitely raise you to be fat for nothing."
"Phew!" Su Siqi laughed: "The pig is fat for nothing!" ”
After eating, Su Siqi went to the second floor and continued to roll and scrub the walls, and as soon as she finished painting the two walls, Su Qirong came up and drove her to the third floor to rest. Su Siqi couldn't help it, so she had to go upstairs.
Lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, her heart seemed to be scratching with cat's paws, just like when she was doing homework when she was a child, she was stumped by a question, scratching her heart and lungs to figure it out, and that kind of longing and urgency made her very anxious.
She sat up and saw through the window the thick aloe vera outside, which she had planted by herself when she was a child, because once her father was accidentally burned while cooking, and the family could not find the medicinal oil for a while, or the neighbor broke an aloe vera from home and put it on her father's arm, saying that aloe vera is the best treatment for burns. So later she also got an aloe vera cut at home.
In fact, what she really looked at was the diaries on the rooftop, if she really fell in love with Shen Mengqing, there must have been something written in the diary.
