Section 78 Threading the needle and thread
The one who spoke was Cao Ge. In fact, as Cao Ge said, there is no malice in her questioning, she is just out of curiosity, maybe there is really a thoughtful element in protecting her mother, just like she said in the second half of the sentence, she is afraid that her mother will be ashamed to say the grievances in her heart that the relationship between her and her father is so strange now.
In fact, Cao Ge didn't know. This kind of strangeness was destined from the day the two of them met. Even if there was a misunderstanding, I think it has been so many years, and it makes no sense for my mother to ask me if she didn't ask me when she gave birth to me alone.
Cao Ge's words made both mother and father stunned at the same time. I saw my mother humbly bow her head, roll her eyes, and say lightly, "What is the misunderstanding?" What's there. "Aunt Qin, she sat on the side and didn't speak, but I could see that she looked up at my mother, then at my father, and then at Cao Ge. There was a complicated emotion in her eyes, that kind of emotion, clearly expecting an answer.
There are many questions she wants to know, and she may have wanted to ask them for a long time, but she didn't have the opportunity, let alone who to ask. And now, what she wants to know happens to be Cao Ge's question. I believe that Aunt Qin should still have a lot of questions in her heart, but in front of her father, after all, she is an almost transparent person, she knows in her heart that her asking is equivalent to asking in vain, so all the questions are worthless in her father's place. So, listening silently as a bystander may be the best.
Grandma picked up half an orange on the table, broke a petal and handed it to Chenchen, and then said: "This person, the relationship between people and people cannot stand scrutiny. Besides, it doesn't have to be a misunderstanding, and people will become strangers. Aren't you all in touch with your former classmates now? Is it because of a misunderstanding? No. It's because I haven't been in touch for a long time, and the natural distance has been widened. It's normal for people to become strangers. After listening to her grandmother's words, Cao Ge looked straight at a certain point in front of her, she didn't answer, but fell into deep thought.
Yes, grandma's words are very reasonable, many people around us now are in a hurry, you are lamenting how the relationship between me and so-and-so was back then, you should understand that each of us is running in different directions, and time has taught us to go our own way. In the end, what is left behind, what really has too much intersection with you in this world is nothing more than family affection. The rest of the people are just passers-by.
My mother and I are just two special passers-by in my father's eyes, and in the eyes of others, my father is just my mother's passer-by.
Zhang Jing nodded thoughtfully and agreed: "What my mother said is really reasonable. You see, I barely have any contact with my former classmates now. When I was in college, many of my friends, both men and women, didn't know where they were now. After saying that, Cao Ge glanced sideways at Zhang Jing: "Including your senior brother, right?" ”
Zhang Jing was stunned: "Everyone is out of touch, naturally, including my senior brother." Besides, I don't have any senior brothers, and there are only two who have a good relationship. ”
"Hehe, am I lucky or not?!"
"Cao Ge!" Grandma shouted Cao Ge's name loudly.
The atmosphere became tense for a while. After being silent for about a few seconds, at this moment, Xue Hao suddenly continued to mention the matter of his father and mother. I don't know if he didn't finish speaking, or if he was trying to play a round: "Look, I haven't finished talking yet, Cao Ge, don't intervene yet." It was at that time that Cao Mu and I both liked to listen to Rong Jiao'er's plays. You don't know, one winter, I remember that Cao Mu and I went there to find Rongjiao people with great interest, only to find out that the power went out in the theater that day, but the notice had not been posted. We were waiting outside, and I told you that it was snowing so hard that we froze. ”
"Eh, Xue Hao, how did you react when you knew that Rong Jiao'er was a relative of our Cao family?"
"When I knew it was your relative, it was in your house, not at that time. Don't mention it, I still wonder why Cao Mu didn't tell me about such a big thing. You don't have to ask me how you feel, I want to know what kind of mental reaction your second brother had when he knew that this Rong Jiao'er was his relative. Anyway, it's someone who has been chasing for so many years. ”
"Chase?!" Zhang Jing suddenly came out with such a word, and the voice was still very loud, which caused the uncle to stare at her sideways. Zhang Jing knew that she was losing her temper again, so she leaned back close to the sofa and didn't speak again.
"That's right! Hey, Rong Jiao'er, you haven't told me yet, how did you know you were relatives at that time? After the last time I came to Cao's house to know about this, until now I felt very sudden. I can always see Cao Mu standing with you when I think of the past. This sentence is very similar to everyone's imagination.
Aunt Qin's face was ugly, but I could tell that she had been putting up with it. It's not that she's holding back a tantrum, she's just holding back from finding out. However, just as I was secretly observing, Aunt Qin suddenly turned her face to dance me!
The moment I met her eyes, I blushed and lowered my head instantly. I don't know if Aunt Qin's gaze is still on me after I bow my head. But my back was cold and my scalp was hot. I don't know what was going on in Aunt Jean's mind, but perhaps she was threading the needle and threading every bead that had been left behind in the whole affair, trying to see the string of jewels as it was.
Cao Ge was very surprised that her father did not tell Xue Hao that her mother was a relative of the Cao family, even more than the unpredictable relationship between the two of them.
"Second brother didn't tell you? Second brother, it's so strange, you didn't tell Xue Hao about such a big thing? Eh, two people have raised a child for many years, and suddenly one day, one party knows that this child of mine is not biological, and does not tell the other person. Don't you think this makes sense! ”
"No, no, no, Cao Ge, your analogy is inappropriate, haha, if you really want to say the same as you, then I will have a heart attack directly."
Although this is just a metaphor and it is also very unrealistic, it is precisely this metaphor that has a problem with children.
I kept my head down, my hands rubbing together.
This joke is too down-to-earth.
After all, for people with weak hearts, panic cannot be hidden. My mother was serving a glass of water, and as soon as she picked it up, the cup in her hand fell to the ground with a snap. The cup shattered, and the water splashed all over the floor. Cao Ge hurriedly got up and asked his mother, but she didn't get it. Mother stood there, staring at the scattered water and the shattered glass shards on the ground. Mother Wu and Mother Liu hurriedly ran over to clean up.
Although Aunt Qin's foot was sprained, according to Aunt Qin's previous concern for her mother, this cup was broken, and she should have reacted, not as silent as she is now.
Aunt Jean was sitting across from her mother, and I looked at her sideways, and she was staring at her face. And that look is too complicated. In fact, the more silent and unexpressed attitudes are, the more panicked it is.
Wu's mother took a towel and handed it to her mother, asking her to wipe the water stains on her skirt. The mother wiped it twice, and then handed the towel to Cao Ge on the side. Cao Ge wanted to help her mother drain the water on her skirt, but her mother refused.
Mother's expression was very panicked, and when she sat down again, she suddenly looked up and saw the gaze of Aunt Qin opposite.
