17, another wound was torn open1
The three of them were silent, recalling the rights and wrongs of three years ago.
He Yingxue listened to the conversation next door, and the old wounds in her heart were torn apart again, and those former injuries seemed to have happened yesterday.
That day, she was pulled by Yang Yang to buy a New Year's gift for Li Ziyue, and when she went out after buying it, she saw her mother coming out of the supermarket opposite, He Yingxue was happy to step forward, but she saw her mother turn around and still hold a little girl in her hand, and looked at the middle-aged man behind her with a smile, the middle-aged man said something to his mother with a shopping bag in both hands, and the little girl in the middle of the two jumped up, as if a family of three deeply hurt He Yingxue's heart.
Yang Yang fiddled with the bear in his hand, took a few steps and found that He Yingxue did not follow, and when he looked back, he saw her looking at the other side expressionlessly, and followed her line of sight to see He's mother with a smile on her face, intimately holding a little girl and a man together.
He Yingxue ran forward in three or two steps to stop the three of them, Zhao Qin saw her daughter subconsciously let go of the little girl's hand, and opened a little distance from the middle-aged man, and said with some trepidation: "Xue'er, why are you here?" ”
"Who is he?" He Yingxue pointed to the middle-aged man behind her and asked.
Zhao Qin looked at her expressionless daughter in a panic, and stammered for a long time without saying anything: "He, he is...... He's ......"
The little girl was frightened by this posture, and stepped forward to hold Zhao Qin's hand, and the middle-aged man took a few steps forward and said with a gentle smile: "Yingxue, hello, I am Geng Zhongjun, a doctor in the county hospital, and a classmate of your little uncle." ”
He Yingxue didn't even look at him, and continued to ask Zhao Qin: "Mom, who are they?" ”
"Didn't your Uncle Geng say it, it's your little uncle's classmate, and Sissi is your Uncle Geng's daughter." Zhao Qin cautiously explained.
He Yingxue asked with some excitement: "I'm asking you, what is their relationship with you?" ”
People around looked over one after another, and Zhao Qin looked very panicked because she was not ready to explain to her daughter. I couldn't say anything for a long time after stammering: "I, we ......"
Geng Zhongjun stepped forward to block Zhao Qin behind him, and said to the aggressive He Yingxue: "Yingxue, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the nearby teahouse and sit down and talk slowly." ”
He Yingxue asked angrily, "Who are you?" Do I know you? It's something for me and my mom. ”
"Your mother's business is my business, Yingxue, do you want to make your mother sad on the street and let passers-by watch?"
He Yingxue glanced at the onlookers around and said to Yang Yang: "You go back first, this is my family's family matter." ”
Yang Yang glanced at her worriedly and couldn't stay, and said uneasily: "Call me if you have anything." Seeing that she didn't say anything, she had to leave first.
He Yingxue turned around and went to the teahouse on the second floor of the supermarket and entered a private room. Geng Zhongjun put the things in his hand on the table in the hall near the private room, pulled Zhao Qin over and let her sit outside, and said softly: "I know you're not ready to talk to Xiaoxue, let me come and talk to her." ”
Zhao Qin's panic finally dissipated partially, and nodded trustingly to Geng Zhongjun, Geng Zhongjun got up and asked for a cup of lemon and a cup of tea into the private room, Zhao Qin hugged Geng Qianqian and looked at the door of the private room in a daze with a worried face.
Geng Zhongjun sat calmly on the bamboo chair and said to He Yingxue, who was pretending to be calm: "Yingxue, sit down." ”
He Yingxue glanced at the closed door, a touch of panic crossed her heart, and she sat down in silence opposite Geng Zhongjun after half a sound. There was a knock at the door, and the waiter brought in two cups of tea, and when the door closed again, Geng Zhongjun spoke.
"Yingxue, let me introduce myself again, Geng Zhongjun, 35 years old, doctor, divorced two years ago, my daughter Geng Qianqian is six years younger than you. I've been with your mother for more than half a year, and I originally wanted to wait a few months for you to take the high school entrance examination before I told you. ”
He Yingxue looked at him stubbornly and said, "I-no-agree-, I don't agree with the two of you being together." ”
"You can't ......"
He Yingxue interrupted him and said loudly: "I don't agree! Her eyes were a little red and she said, "If she insists on being with you, she will no longer be my mother." ”
Geng Zhongjun was so speechless by her resolute attitude that he took a sip of tea before he regained his thoughts and said, "Is your mother still so young to be widowed for the rest of her life?" Yingxue, you are no longer a child, you can't be selfish and not let her start a new life. ”
He Yingxue's heart was cold, it had only been more than a year since her father died, and she couldn't accept that her mother had forgotten her father so quickly and was about to start a new life. Snorted coldly and said, "I'm just selfish, my dad has only been dead for more than a year, and you've been together for more than half a year, so I really can't wait."
"It's not your mother's fault, it's my fault, it's me who chased after your mother and stalked him, if you want to blame me."
"I don't know you well."
"Yingxue, your mother loves you very much, do you want her to be sad because of you?"
"Are you done with what you're going to say? If she doesn't have anything to say to me, I'll leave. After He Yingxue finished speaking, she got up and prepared to leave at any time.
Geng Zhongjun got up and said, "You are against it because of your father, I can promise you that I will not rob your father of your place in your heart, and I will take good care of you and your mother." ”
"No one can take away my dad's place in my heart, I hate you and hate your daughter." After He Yingxue said this, she didn't want to continue to fight with him, turned around and went out, looked at the anxious Mother He, and left without saying a word to her.
Zhao Qin was flustered by her daughter's unfamiliar eyes, and she leaned helplessly on the table, tears dripping silently.
Geng Qianqian took her hand and said softly: "Aunt Zhao, don't cry, Sister Xue'er doesn't like Qianqian, let's go buy a white rabbit and give it to Sister Xue'er." In Geng Qianqian's heart, White Rabbit toffee is her favorite thing, and she is unwilling to share it with anyone.
Geng Zhongjun looked at the helpless Zhao Qin and felt distressed for a while, and stepped forward to support her and comforted: "Give her a little time, she is a good boy and will understand you." ”
He Yingxue, who came out of the teahouse, suddenly didn't know where to go, after her father died, only half of her home was left, but now that half was almost not hers, she was just wandering on the street, there was no place she could go in the huge world, the winter night breeze was cold in her heart, and she subconsciously stayed on the lively street.
Zhao Qin returned home, her daughter was not at home, Geng Zhongjun was afraid that He Yingxue would come back and see them being stimulated to put down things, and wanted to coax her daughter to leave first, but Zhao Qin was restless, so he had to stay to comfort her and help cook.
An hour later, the meal had been put on the table, He Yingxue didn't go home, Zhao Qin couldn't help but worry when she saw that the clock was already pointing to nine o'clock, and after thinking about it, her daughter probably had to go to Su Ying and make a phone call.
"Yingzi, is Xue'er with you?"
"No, Cher hasn't been here today."
Zhao Qin panicked again, and said a little anxiously: "Where did this kid go?" ”
"Did you go with your classmates somewhere?"
"Xue'er met me and Zhongjun on the street today, the girl couldn't accept it, she was very unhappy when she left, I didn't react for a while, I didn't see her shadow when I chased it out, if she had anything to do with me, I ......"
"Fourth sister, don't worry, Xue'er will be fine, first ask her familiar friends if anyone has seen her, I will immediately ask Xiaodao to take someone to find her, you just wait at home, in case Xue'er comes back by herself."
Zhao Qin calmed down a little and said, "Okay, let me ask Yang Yang, Xue'er's friend here is just like this now." ”
When Zhao Qin's call reached Yang Yang's house, Yang Yang was talking to Li Ziyue on the phone, and the two happened to talk about the scene they saw in the afternoon, and they were discussing how to comfort He Yingxue, Zhao Qin was anxious.
Geng Zhongjun comforted her: "Don't worry, it's okay if someone as big as Xue'er has practiced taekwondo again, I'll drive around to look for it, you listen to the news of winning or losing at home, and if Xue'er comes back, you will tell us." ”
Zhao Qin nodded and agreed, kept talking to Yang Yang on the phone, and finally got through after more than twenty minutes.
"Yang Yang, is Yingxue at your house?"
"Cousin, Yingxue is not at my house, isn't she at home?"
"No, she left first after the supermarket ran into it, and she never came back, did she call you?"
"No, cousin, don't worry, I'll go to the place where she frequents now, and I'll tell you if I find it."
"I'm just waiting for news at home, just call if you have news of her."
"Okay." Yang Yang hung up the phone, thought about it, and called Li Ziyue again, told her about He Yingxue's disappearance, and asked her if she wanted to come over to accompany He Yingxue, Li Ziyue promised to come to the county early the next morning.
Li Ziyue was in a daze on the phone, Yingxue's life was really tortuous, just about to go to elementary school, his father had an accident and lost his legs, she also went to school a year late because of this, and finally went to middle school smoothly, her father was terminally ill again, and died in less than a year, she has not completely come out of the blow of losing her father, her mother now has a new relationship, she can't wait to fly to her side now, accompany her.
"Jingle bell ......" The phone rang interrupted her thoughts, Li Ziyue saw a long list of numbers clearly and guessed that it was her brother, and hurriedly picked up the phone.
"Brother~, the New Year is two days away, are you really not coming back this year?"
"What's the matter, the tone is so bad?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you, Yingxue is missing, I'm a little worried."
Li Zifeng panicked in his heart and asked anxiously, "Missing?" What's going on? ”
Li Ziyue, who was worried about He Yingxue, did not hear her brother's eagerness, and told Yang Yang what she told her, and finally said sadly: "I don't know where that fool ran away, I don't know if I can see her when I go to the county tomorrow morning." ”
Li Zifeng thought about He Yingxue's depressed appearance when his father died, worried and anxious in his heart, and couldn't wait to fly in front of her immediately to give her support, I really don't know how sad she will be hiding now.
