Chapter 16: The Situation Is Bad
The three members of the Crimson Arc group have been good classmates since junior high school.
Forming a science and technology interest group, the group of three people will spend a long time together to discuss in order to win the competition in the city, even after school.
Sometimes the discussion is at Jiang Jiuling's house, if it is to check information or translate magazines, it will be placed in Concubine Zhao's house.
Concubine Zhao's family conditions are very good, otherwise she would not have been able to bring foreign scientific journals from Hong Kong every once in a while.
Most of the residential buildings on this side of Weiqi Lane are small single-family buildings with yards.
The same is true of Concubine Zhao's family, perhaps because her father has gone abroad and has overseas business contacts. The small building of Concubine Zhao's house is not only built with a very European-style appearance, but even the walls are made of gravel splicing style.
Even in the 21st century, small western-style buildings are still very popular.
When Jiang Jiuling went on a business trip to factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the small western-style buildings in the countryside there were more and more magnificent, and those big families could even directly copy the White House.
Now the newly built small buildings in Go Alley are almost all intentionally or unintentionally imitating the style of this western-style building of Concubine Zhao's family.
The iron door of Concubine Zhao's house is very large and beautiful, and there are patterns rushing out on it.
Jiang Jiuling knocked lightly twice, and the door was gently pushed open by a crack.
The door was unlocked.
The courtyard of Concubine Zhao's house is planted with some flowers and plants, and there is a camellia tree that will bloom with red flowers in autumn. The three-storey western-style building was inside, and Jiang Jiuling walked to the western-style building and was about to push open the screen door that could prevent mosquitoes.
Unexpectedly, the screen door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged aunt in plain clothes walked out briskly from inside.
When he was hospitalized, Jiang Jiuling had seen many relatives of Concubine Zhao's family, but he had no impression of this aunt.
Auntie's face was a little unsightly, and she was angry. When he saw Jiang Jiuling at the door, he just turned his head a little and turned his head.
"Sister Xu, alas~ Wait Sister Xu. A middle-aged man wearing a coffee-colored leather jacket with good facial features and figure chased him out from inside, and said a little anxiously: "Sister Xu, I'll give you another 100 wages, don't you go?"
"Your girls have said they don't want to see me again, what's the point of me staying?"
"Master, I really can't take care of your girl. ”
After saying that, the aunt didn't look back.
Concubine Zhao's father, Zhao Xi, chased him into the yard and was slightly stunned when he saw that there was still a young man standing in the yard.
Of course he knew Jiang Jiuling, and before that accident, he and Concubine Zhao were very good friends.
Immediately, a wave of displeasure appeared in his heart, something happened to his daughter, Jiang Jiuling and Sun Xiaohu both became ostriches, and they haven't even shown their faces so far.
When Concubine Zhao was hospitalized, even some neighbors bought fruit and visited the hospital.
Jiang Jiuling and Sun Xiaohu, the two former best friends, were the parties involved in the accident, and they didn't even show their faces now, how could Zhao Xi not be angry?
Angry to angry, seeing the chocolates and cans that Jiang Jiuling was carrying, Zhao Xi still held back his seizure, and said to Jiang Jiuling first, "Don't go in first."
Zhao Xi grabbed this aunt's arm and persuaded her with good words: "Sister Xu, you can take care of it more, even if I beg you." If you leave, what will my girl do? ”
"Don't worry, I'll go back and talk about the concubine, she has a good temper, I'll enlighten her again. ”
Aunt Xu was pulled and couldn't leave, and when she heard Zhao Xi say this, she couldn't help but sigh heavily, "Alas~"
"I can understand your girl's feelings, who can withstand this kind of thing, not to mention that she is still a little girl?"
"So be it. ”
Maybe it was the promise of a 100-level salary increase that made Sister Xu's tone loosen, "I'll go back today, and then you will enlighten her in the afternoon." ”
"I'll come back tomorrow, and if she wants me to stay, I'll keep staying. If she wants to drive me away, then I will really leave, and I will go back to the market to continue selling vegetables. ”
"Okay, okay~" Zhao Xi hurriedly smiled, "Then Sister Xu, you go back first, and I'll talk about the concubine later." ”
Seeing this aunt away, Zhao Xi turned his head and beckoned to Jiang Jiuling, and said unhappily: "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Xi was also in his early forties, and Jiang Jiuling remembered that he didn't look old at all. On weekdays, he is always dressed appropriately, and he always has a kind smile on his mature face.
But now, the hair on his sideburns turned gray, and the smile on his face was gone, giving people a haggard feeling.
"Uncle Zhao~ I want to come and see Concubine Zhao. ”
"Go back. Zhao Xi glanced at Jiang Jiuling, he was very familiar with both Jiang Jiuling and Sun Xiaohu, and in the past, these two children also ran to his house every once in a while. Even though he was angry at their evasion of responsibility now, he didn't want to say anything hurtful to Jiang Jiuling.
He is a businessman and knows not to be emotional when looking at things. He also learned the details of the accident from his daughter's mouth, and knew that Jiang Jiuling and Sun Xiaohu did not mean it in this matter.
"I want to visit Concubine Zhao. Jiang Jiuling explained: "Since that incident, I haven't visited her once. ”
"This is not what a man should be, so I came today to say sorry to Concubine Zhao. ”
"It's gratifying for you to think that. Zhao Xi sighed, and the anger in his heart was dissolved a lot, "But I don't think Concubine Zhao will see you." ”
"She's been suffering a lot inside since that incident. And when she needed the comfort of her relatives and friends the most, you and Sun Xiaohu avoided it. ”
"You know how she felt when she learned that you were both discharged from the hospital early, and she was going to be isolated in the hospital room alone, motionless. ”
"The concubine doesn't even want to see her relatives now, even if it's me, I can only talk to her carefully. The more Zhao Xi said that the more depressed he became, he confided: "After the concubine was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate, I have invited three aunts to take care of her. ”
"Aunt Xu just now was originally a vendor who bought vegetables in a nearby vegetable market, and she had a very good reputation in the vegetable market, smiling at everyone, and she had never blushed with anyone after selling vegetables for five or six years. ”
"And now?"
She took care of her concubine for more than ten days, and she almost cried angrily. ”
Jiang Jiuling was a little surprised, and he was also very surprised, and said to himself: "Concubine Zhao was not like this before. ”
Concubine Zhao in her memory is a lively and lovely little girl. She's a bit naughty and very smart. The three of them in the interest group stay together, and they can always laugh because of her.
What really happened to her?
Zhao Xi patted Jiang Jiuling's shoulder and persuaded: "The concubine has suffered too much pain, you know, since that time, the concubine has not shown a single smile." ”
"You're too late. ”
"Now that you're in front of her, it's only going to make her feel more miserable. ”
Jiang Jiuling's expression gradually became serious.
Judging from the haggard face of her father Zhao Xi and the current conversation.
Concubine Zhao's situation is probably far worse than he guessed, no wonder when talking about Concubine Zhao's situation in the principal's office that day, the principal just shook his head vigorously, unwilling to say more.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to see her. ”
Jiang Jiuling said: "I am also responsible for that incident, I will only escape in the past." Now I understand the meaning of responsibility and responsibility. ”
"When she sees me, it may become very painful. ”
"But after all, we used to be the best partners we have been together for six years, and we are the partners with whom we can talk to the best except for Uncle Zhao. ”
"Maybe my presence can bring her a little comfort. ”
