Chapter 216: Meet Old Acquaintances

Everyone had a great time at the dinner party in the evening, and everyone didn't feel constrained when they got along with this boss who only lived in legends, and they all dared to ask her what she had gained abroad in the past few years.

Of course, Jiaxin is not the kind of person who forgets who he is after going abroad for a few years, he answers everyone's questions one by one, and is humorous, as if he is less serious and stereotypical than before.

After such a few questions, everyone has deeply liked this boss, and many employees have stepped forward to toast and chat to show their respect.

"I'm sorry guys, I'm conditioning. The doctor instructed not to drink alcohol, but I am also very happy to see everyone today, such a cup of tea with wine, toast everyone, thank you for your dedication to Jiaxin's style in the past few years, thank you! ”

In the far corner, two new employees, currently just shampoos, are making the transition to technology, and two people are hiding there and whispering.

"Do you know, when I came here, I thought that our main store was the boss, there are more than a dozen stores in Kyoto, he took so much pains and painstaking work, he went to inspect and explain every day, and even heard that he has been eating and living in the store all these years. But later, I heard that the boss had another person, the name on our brand. ”

"It seems that Du Shen's head office is really different to our boss. What kind of feelings do you say, willing to let him pay like this without asking for anything in return? ”

The two shook their heads in confusion.

Full of wine and food, everyone withdrew. Zishan grabbed Jiaxin and asked her what she was going to do next.

Intend? Jiaxin shook her head, in her five years abroad, she hardly had a good day off, in addition to being the chief designer in the store, she also had to record some local fashion programs, almost busy day and night, just come to China this time, the people over there don't plan to let her go like this, but there is no way, she left for five years, she really misses everything here.

"It's been five years, I'm actually quite tired, these five years are more tired than the previous ten years, and that kind of tiredness is not physical tiredness!" Jia Xin lowered her head and leaned on Zishan's shoulder: "Zishan, do you know that people sometimes understand one thing, just for a moment. I was when I came home from work alone one night and suddenly understood, it was snowing in South Korea that day, and the snow was falling all over the sky, and I was wrapped in a thick down jacket, but I still felt so cold, and at that moment I suddenly asked myself, why do I torture myself like this, is it not good in China? Why should I go to a foreign land alone to suffer this sin? Even though I have a high salary, and even though there are so many people who respect me, why am I happy at all? When I got home, I sat on the bed~, I finally figured it out, because I care about other people's feelings, don't say anything else, just talk about infertility, I think about Shao Cong's mother's feelings, Shao Cong's father's feelings, Shao Cong's milk ~ milk feelings, Shao Cong's feelings, but I didn't think about myself, I forced myself away, but this matter is actually in my heart can't get over at all, and it will invisibly bring me a lot of pressure, so that I can't live as much as death, out of breath! ”

"Zishan, I thought I was very good in the past few years, I was only in my twenties, and I was able to sit in the position of the boss in the barber industry, whether this name was complimented by others or really fancied me like this, I am very pleased. I've trained so many people, and they've come back to their stores to be able to apply what they've learned just right, and I've opened so many stores, and I have so many employees, and I can even call each other sisters with the bigwigs in the entertainment industry, and they will give me a thumbs up when they mention me. But in the last few years, I've realized that I'm just... It's just with a gold finger. Jia Xin sighed: "So if you change anyone, you will become the person you are now." ”

Goldfinger? Zi Shan didn't understand, grabbed Jia Xin's hand and looked at it carefully, but didn't find the golden finger she said.

"I know, it's been hard for you to be out there for the past few years." Zi Shan didn't go on with the gold finger problem that he couldn't see: "But do you know, Shao Cong is not having a good time, in the first year after you left, he went crazy to find you, and fought with Du Shen for this matter, in addition to looking for you, he put all his energy on running his company." I heard that his mother wants to introduce girls to him every month, but he refused, and he even said to his mother that he would never bring those girls to him in the future, if he is destined to not wait for you in this life, he would rather be alone for the rest of his life. ”

"Besides, you were too resolute when you left at that time, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me and Zishan Xuemei, even your family, even Zhang Yiran, you hide it, in fact, I think if you tell Shao Cong, he may not stop you. Your parting hurt him deeply. Jiaxin, when I was eighteen years old, we went to Kyoto University together, that year was ninety-three, and now it's zero nine years, a full sixteen years. We have changed from a young girl like a flower to a woman with a sense of vicissitudes in the thirty-four or five, and we are no longer young. The year before last, Xue Song came back, she brought her husband and children to the store to see everyone, she has changed a lot, how ostentatious she used to be, how stable she is now, after a detailed conversation, she said that she has been divorced once, and the child will also be her current husband's, she said that she loves this man very much, so she is willing to think for him, he doesn't want to have children, she won't give birth. I don't approve of Xue Song's courage, I just think that people change, Xue Song has suffered more than once in her relationship, but she is still so determined to be someone's stepmother... Jiaxin, what about you, Shao Cong is in your heart, is it really better to betray those men who have betrayed and hurt Xue Song? ”

Jiaxin bit her lip lightly and didn't speak, but in fact, she didn't know in her heart those gifts piled up at the door on her birthday every year, how many cars followed her late at night, and the medicines that appeared inexplicably when she was sick... She didn't know that Shao Cong respected her choice, so even if he found her, he pretended not to know at all.

"Zishan, sometimes, I can't tell whether everything I've experienced is a dream or a reality, if it's a reality, why do I try so hard to change something, but in the end I find that no matter how hard I try, I can't change it, if it's a dream, then this dream is a little too long, it turns out to be more than ten years. In fact, I'm really afraid that this is just a dream, and when I wake up from the dream, I won't be able to see you, I won't be able to see Xuemei, I won't be able to see Shao Cong, and I won't be able to see so many people......"

Zi Shan tilted her head and glanced at Jia Xin, and found that her eyelashes were wet~wet, and Zi Shan's heart was moistened with those tears that did not slip down~.

"No, it's not a dream!" Zishan hugged Jiaxin and comforted her: "Okay, just come back and talk about these sad things." Okay, it's not too early, let's go back! ”

The next day, Jiaxin returned to her hometown. It's been five years, she only called Mu Chunhua during the New Year's Festival, from the year Shao Cong's accident, Jiaxin has not returned to her hometown for nearly nine years, the development of the county is beyond her imagination, the bungalow she bought at the beginning, it seemed very tall at the time, and now more than ten years have passed, it seems to have become an inconspicuous courtyard located at the junction of urban and rural areas, but Mu Chunhua insisted on living there.

As early as a few years ago, Jia Xin told Mu Chunhua not to go to the store, there were Xu Xiaochen and Jin Lian over there, and she and Song Qingqing were not needed at all, and now they are in their fifties, and they don't look old.

When Jiaxin entered the door, Mu Chunhua was holding a kettle to water the broom eyebrows planted in her yard, when she heard a sound at the gate, she looked up, a woman who was dressed very well, she thought who was wrong, so she continued to water, and then asked in a low voice: "Who is the girl looking for?" ”

Then, her kettle was shocked by Jiaxin's tender mother and fell to the ground.

She looked up again, and then she recognized it as Jia Xin, but there didn't seem to be any emotion on her face other than plain surprise. After glancing at Jiaxin a few times, he turned around and entered the house.

Jiaxin knew that Mu Chunhua was angry, she used to listen to her scold every time she called back, but now it's okay, she's back, standing in front of her, she can scold as much as she wants, Jiaxin told herself that she would never fight back.

"Mom..."Jia Xin followed behind Mu Chunhua and shouted softly: "What are you doing, you are so old, and it is not good for you to be angry!" ”

Mu Chunhua slammed the kettle he had already picked up to the ground: "Do you still know that I'm old?" Why didn't you think about my age when you left, what if you me off? Lu Jiaxin, since I was a child, I thought that you had a big idea, and you didn't need anyone's consent to do anything, but I didn't think that you wouldn't tell me such a big thing? ”

Mu Chunhua's "such a big thing" refers to both Jiaxin's inability to get pregnant and Jiaxin's going abroad, and Jiaxin can fully comprehend it.

"Mom, I don't want you to worry about many things, but what if you know, can you cure my illness or can you bear the pain? Having said that, it is only to increase your sadness. ”

"You say it lightly, but as your mother, can't I really bear the pain for you?" Mu Chunhua couldn't understand.

"Mom, it's double as much pain as you share. I can't bear it..."Jia Xin walked over, put her arm around Mu Chunhua's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Aren't I coming back, I won't leave in the future." ”

"If you want to go, I can't stop you!" Mu Chunhua was still angry.

"I'm not leaving!" Jia Xin was still smiling.

Enough of being angry, Mu Chunhua made food for Jiaxin. While busy working, he told Jiaxin about what had happened at home over the years.

"You don't know yet, Jiacheng is planning to get married." Mu Chunhua's face couldn't hide the joy of being a prospective mother-in-law: "My daughter-in-law is a southern girl, the two of them are classmates, and they are good children, anyway, I like it a lot." ”

"Really?" Jiaxin was also happy for Jiacheng, and after careful calculation, Jiacheng was already twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he was already studying in Kyoto when Shao Cong had an accident: "How is Jiacheng's job?" ”

"Well, I can't tell you clearly, it seems that I'm researching what excavator, anyway, it's a big guy." Mu Chunhua chattered: "He is also in Kyoto, didn't you come back to see him?" ”

Jiaxin shook her head and said that she didn't care.

Mu Chunhua said again: "Then go and see him when you go back, and I will give you the address when the time comes." After speaking, he talked about what happened in the store in the past two years: "You don't know yet, Xiaochen and Jin Lian are both married, and their children are quite old and cute." Jin Lian took her parents to the city, and the child didn't say anything, but she knew it in her heart. However, Xiaochen is completely different from before, and now in this county, he is also the number one person, I heard that the section chief of what bureau and what bureau, the director is a frequent customer in the store, what is her man doing..."Mu Chunhua thought for a while: "Oh, oh, oh, I am engaged in design, I heard that I earn a lot." ”

Listening to this, Jiaxin felt that everyone seemed to be happier than her, and sometimes, money was not a measure of happiness.

Seeing that Jiaxin was a little stunned, Mu Chunhua stopped talking, and after a long time, she asked, "Come back this time, do you want to go and see your parents-in-law?" ”

Jiaxin didn't expect Mu Chunhua to ask like this, she thought that if she really wanted to see them, then Mu Chunhua must be the first person to rush out and obstruct them, but now, these words came out of her mouth, and Jiaxin was surprised.

"Forget it, I still won't go!" Jia Xin said with some frustration: "Presumably they don't want to see me either." ”

"But after all, you and Shao Cong are not divorced, nominally they are your elders, as juniors, you can't be rude!" Mu Chunhua put down the plate in his hand and enlightened Jiaxin in a serious voice: "And I heard that Grandma Shao Cong has been in poor health recently, and has been in the hospital for more than a month, old~ Something is wrong, and I don't know if I can get through it, and Shao Cong's father, the heart disease is getting worse and worse..."

"Mom, don't talk about it." Jiaxin took the plate that had just been put down by Mu Chunhua, and then turned out the shovel in Mu Chunhua's hand, and said while shoveling vegetables: "I came back this time to see you, and I didn't have other people's plans." ”

Despite saying this, after eating, Jiaxin still drove out, and went around to Shao Cong's house, she parked the car far away, struggled many times, and finally made up her mind to go in and take a look.

Li Wanyun just came out to throw out the garbage when she saw Jiaxin standing at the door.

Li Wanyun couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, she had mixed tastes, she had known the girl in front of her for almost twenty years, she watched her grow all the way, watched her and her son know each other and love each other, thinking of this, her heart surged with many indescribable emotions...... But sometimes it's really tricky.

"Auntie..."Jia Xin opened her mouth first: "After many years, are you okay?" ”

An aunt, a you, sounds very affectionate, but only two people know that this is Jiaxin's intention to distance themselves from each other, Jiaxin fulfilled her promise, and when they meet again, they will call her aunt.

Li Wanyun responded with a smile: "Hey, Jiaxin is back, come, come into the house!" ”

"Well, I'm back, I'm back to see my mom." Jiaxin shook her head as she said: "I won't go in, I'll come over here to see you." ”

"Oh, that's it!" Li Wanyun thought that it was just by the way, so there was more disappointment in her eyes, but she still pretended to be relaxed and said, "You really have a heart...... By the way, how have you been outside in the past few years, I saw you on TV a few days ago, and I didn't even dare to admit it. ”

Jia Xin nodded: "It's okay, just like you saw on TV." Saying that, Jia Xin sent the things she was carrying to Li Wanyun: "I came in a hurry, I didn't buy anything, you take this, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first, my uncle and grandma, you say hello on my behalf." There were too many things to do, so I went up and greeted them one by one. ”

"Wait!" At the moment when Jiaxin turned around, Li Wanyun shouted, and when Jiaxin's footsteps stopped, she continued: "Jiaxin, I know, you hate me, even hate me... But Shao Cong has almost cut off contact with me in the past few years, which can be regarded as a breath of relief for you..."

Jia Xin turned around and stretched out her hand to interrupt Li Wanyun's words: "Auntie, you are too worried, for so many years, I have been busy outside with almost no feet touching the ground, and I have no time to resent others." You don't always have to remember that Shao Cong is your son, and what he wants to do to you really has nothing to do with me, and I don't need him to speak out for me. ”

Watching Jiaxin leave, Li Wanyun felt that the things in her hand were getting heavier and heavier, she couldn't imagine whether Jiaxin came back this time to rekindle her old relationship with Shao Cong, or to retaliate against Shao Cong, but no matter what, it made her heart clench together.
