As far as Cao Cancan and I were concerned, perhaps we were still young and didn't quite know what our father's actions meant to Cao Qi and the entire Cao family. It was only after hearing the words of the adults that I knew that this matter was serious and irreversible absurdity, and that I did not see Cao Qi again for a period of time, that I knew the reason why my family was so sad about what my father had done.

And so, as the old saying goes, plans never keep up with the fast pace of change. I was planning to go to school on Monday, but it was in the soup again. This school or not school, for me at that time, it was not a big problem, I was also scattered for half a month, and my heart was already floating, but for Cao Cancan, it was different.

Cao Cancan's transient nerves, like a frog waiting to die in the water, were suddenly resurrected like an electric shock, and suddenly fell silent with the temperature of the water. She sat in the corner of the sofa, not crying, not making a fuss, not speaking, just stupid. She was numb, I guess.

Later, when I summed up that gloomy time, I thought that maybe God didn't really want Cao Cancan and me to return to school, and he was probably afraid that the various rights and wrongs and gossip we faced after returning to school would cause a second irreparable damage to our young hearts. In this way, I regard it as the only time that God has favored me in my childhood.

Cui Yu came later, he didn't say anything about his father's affairs, he just stood beside Cao Ge all the time, perhaps, he was also afraid that Cao Ge would have an accident because of his emotions, just like his grandmother. After Cao Ge finished venting, basically, he had reached the point where he had nothing to say. The scene at that time was the huge Cao family, on the huge sofa, there were a number of speechless people sitting quietly, from their teens to their forties, from blood relatives to outsiders who had no relationship, everyone was silent, silent about the indisputable fact that the Cao family had declined.

Zhang Jing has been in the kitchen, and I have looked back at her twice, including when my grandmother was carried away by 120, when Cao Cancan screamed and asked what happened, she was still leaning alone against the kitchen door, her eyes were empty and her face was expressionless.

Even so, I could still find her despair in her limp limbs. Yes, all the efforts of half her life were wiped out in an instant, along with her dreams, her luck, her vision for the future, and the love she had determined. Later, when she went upstairs, I don't know. Perhaps, choosing to leave the kitchen is that she has lost the motivation to continue cooking for the love she dreamed of and the initial desire for that motivation itself.

That night, because Wu's mother and Liu's mother both went to the hospital, no one made dinner, in fact, even if it was done, no one would be in the mood to eat. Xue Hao called his aunt to prepare some food and deliver it, but basically no one moved.

Chenchen was picked up by the driver. When this grandson of the Cao family came back, he asked his grandmother where he was going, and the whole family was silent. This white lie is not easy to fabricate. Yes, it's easy to say whether grandma will stay or not, but what about Cao Qi? The child's father disappeared from his eyes in an instant, and for a 5-year-old child, how could he tell him where his father had gone? Forget it, if you can cheat for a while, it's a while. So, Xue Hao and Cui Yu tried their best to coax Chenchen, trying to use the white lies made up by adults to reduce the trauma of the child's young heart.

Cao Ge was in a very bad state, and after Xue Hao and Cui Yu said hello, they drove out alone. As a result, when he returned, he brought his mother with him.

I don't know if Cao Ge is because of excessive grief, or if she is really as she said, there is always a close relationship between her and her mother, the moment she saw her mother enter the house, suddenly, she cried.

A woman in her 30s, howling hysterically as if no one was around. She buried her face in her mother's chest, and she cried and told her mother: "The Cao family is finished, it is completely finished." While stroking Cao Ge's hair, the mother whispered, "It's okay, Cao Ge, it will pass." "Mother's words suddenly reminded me of Uncle Zhao's exhortation, yes, everything will pass.

When my mother was stroking Cao Ge's hair, I suddenly remembered my mother's love and caress for me, but empathy was also before. It feels like a mother coaxing her child, gentle mixed with heartache.

Cao Ge cried for a while and then eased slightly, and her mother suddenly asked her, "How is your mother now?" Cao Ge wiped the tears on his face and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Mother gently patted Cao Ge's back: "Go and have a look." Cao Ge shook his head resolutely.

Mother looked at Xue Hao, and Xue Hao continued knowingly: "Obedient, go." Rong Jiao'er and I both mean the same thing, she is your biological mother after all. No matter what happened before, this incident was also a heavy blow to her. ”

Cao Ge didn't get excited, didn't shout, didn't shout, and replied in a flat tone: "Isn't it a heavy blow to anyone?" ”

"But you're still young. You see, aunt, it's old. I don't know which sentence or word in this sentence touched Cao Ge's heart, but after Cao Ge heard it, he began to cry loudly again.

In this way, I stopped crying one night, and when I was tired of crying, I leaned back on the sofa and rested for a while.

When her mother was about to leave Cao's house that day, Zhang Jing came down from upstairs. The mother looked back at her, and the woman had lost her previous vigor, and her face was full of failure. Zhang Jing just didn't have anything to do, and went into the kitchen to drink a glass of water as if no one was around. Turned around and went upstairs slowly. Mother watched her leave with her eyes, and I don't know how sad my mother was at this time.

That night, the plane tree outside my window was not only empty, but full of depression, just like this Nanjing that was about to enter winter, between heaven and earth, the wordless depression interpreted the life and death of the Cao family.

When Xue Hao sent his mother home, he stopped by to see his grandmother. Grandma had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, but the rescue was timely and her life was saved. However, it also left the sequelae of hemiplegia and speech impairment.

The suitcase that my father had packed was not dragged away that day. I don't know where he went, but he left his incompetence and chaos in the Cao family, in the box that no one had opened.

In the days following the incident, I stared at the suitcase at the door, trying to see through my father's heart, and also trying to see back at the red dust that the Cao family once contained.
