Chapter 11: The Pain of the Heart

When he finished his second drink, I advised him not to drink it, because his parents would be worried when he went back.

He said his parents had left early.

I thought he was drunk and said he was talking nonsense?

He told me that his father was a railroad worker, and that his mother had run away from home because his two-year-old sister had died and had become mentally ill and had never returned. His father died of depression and died a year later due to an early retirement. His brother took his father's place, and he was raised by his brother. After saying this, he wiped away his tears and poured wine and drank again.

I also felt uncomfortable and said why he didn't say it earlier.

He said that for so many years, he had never told anyone about it, but today, he wanted to say it to me, it would be better to say it.

After saying that, he was about to pour wine and drink again, but I blocked it.

He said no, I was afraid that he would be drunk, and I said no, I was afraid that you would drink too much and have an upset stomach.

This sentence immediately put a smile on his face, and he said thank you!

For fear of encountering an embarrassing situation, I said eat vegetables and eat vegetables, but as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, he picked up the vegetables for me, and said to eat more, don't be afraid of eating fat and not beautiful.

I said that I was never afraid of eating fat and not beautiful, but I was sorry for the food.

He laughed out loud and said I was humorous.

After that, I asked me which high school I was in there. I'll talk about the eighth middle school in the city, 2002. When he heard this, he slapped the table and said that he was also from the second class of '02, and he was in the liberal arts class of Class 8.

I said I was in the third shift.

"I have to know, you guys are on the first floor, I'm on the second floor!" After saying that, he gave me vegetables again.

Now the two of us have a common topic again.

He asked me how many points I scored in the college entrance examination that year, and why I didn't repeat it? I said that I didn't do well in the exam, and my family conditions didn't allow it, so I didn't repeat it. I asked him the same question, and he said that he didn't do well in the exam, and that he wanted to be a soldier, so he enlisted in the army in the fall of that year. When he arrived in the army, he also worked hard and fought for it, and when he found that unless he was particularly good, he wanted to stay in the army, and someone had to have money. He stayed in the army for three more years, all of whom were from his brother. Later, he didn't want to stay anymore, so he went home to get married and start a family. ran through the rental, pulled the goods, ate, drank and had fun for a year after the divorce, and his brother was so angry that he scolded him, he was not a man.

He just woke up from a dream, bought three cars to deliver goods in the vegetable market, and after coming and going to get familiar with the market situation, he engaged in vegetable wholesale. As a result, I worked for four years, bought a house, and bought a car.

After speaking, he asked me if his struggle was considered a success.

I say you're far worse than a millionaire or a multimillionaire, but you're a hundred times better than me.

He was amused by me and said that he was really happy to have someone to listen to his story.

I deliberately joked, and I won't listen to it again.

He said no, on his birthday, I had to listen to him tell the story.

"It's your birthday today!"

Ren Peng nodded with a smile on his face. I said I don't know!

He said he would just remember it later.

It just so happened that as soon as the messenger came in, I asked for a copy.

When I took it, Ren Peng asked me what I was going to do with it?

I said that I wanted to rent a house and let my mother-in-law accompany me.

He said why not let the school live?

I said that there are so many game halls now, what if he gets hooked, a child in our neighboring village is addicted to game halls, and now he doesn't go to school, he doesn't go home, and he is worried about the family.

Ren Peng said that it was better to live in his building.

I asked him, where do you live?

He said that he still had a yard, which he bought for 30,000 yuan, and he lived there.

I laughed at him, you bought so many houses to eat by yourself!

He said that he expected that in two years, as soon as the city expanded, the yard would be expropriated, and at least a house of more than 100 square meters would be 500,000 or 600,000 yuan.

I thought that Sister Liu in the provincial capital also said this, and she also bought the old courtyard and waited for the demolition and replacement of the house.

It seems that Ren Peng and Sister Liu are prescient people, Feng Wei gave me 100,000 yuan, I didn't take it, it would damage my dignity. But in today's society, dignity is worth a few dollars, and life needs money.

I showed Ren Peng a newspaper information about the sale of the old courtyard. Ren Peng read the speech, this place is far away, it is inconvenient for Bobo to go to school, and said that it will be demolished ten years later. If you really want to buy, buy an urban area, the location is better, and sell it cheaply, as soon as the city expands, it is not the turn to demolish, and the house price is also rising like a boom, making the same money.

I think it makes sense, and promised Ren Peng to go back and I'll take a look.

As soon as he went out, he threw himself into the woods by the roadside, and threw up while holding on to the tree pole. Seeing how uncomfortable he was, I had to send him home?

As soon as I got into the car, he told the driver his address, leaned over with his upper body, and rested his head on my shoulder, his eyes closed, and his face pale.

I whispered to him if he was uncomfortable and if he wanted to go to the hospital.

He said it was okay, and as he spoke, he raised his right hand and put it on his forehead, his eyes still closed, and I heard him sniff. I didn't dare to look at him, knowing that he remembered something sad.

This is a newly built community, all of which are just six floors, there are twenty or thirty buildings, the layout between each building is very good, the front forest belt, the green grass is green, the elm tree belt around is trimmed neatly, and the water splash of the pipes is spraying, which makes people feel refreshed.

When I got out of the car, I asked the driver to wait for a while and get off right away. Ren Peng let the driver go, saying that he would send me and drag me into the unit door.

When I go upstairs, I'll talk about sending you in and I'll go home. Ren Peng trained me, there was so much nonsense, he didn't like to hear it.

As soon as the door opened, the room was dimly lit. I, a stupid woman, actually screamed, why is the house so dark.

Ren Peng smiled and ignored me and reached out to press the switch at the door, with a click, the room suddenly became lively, the chandelier in the middle of the living room glowed with warm white light, and the bead-shaped chandelier above the dining table glowed with a faint pink. The two lights are kneaded together, making the milky white wallpaper look like pink, full of ambiguity.

At this time, I remembered going to the provincial capital, the house that Feng Wei asked me to live in, in fact, that house was the place where he and the woman lived, and he told me later.

The thought of this immediately made me nervous, and I said that I was going back after my mission was completed.

Ren Peng still didn't let go of my hand, and said that today he was born, and it would be okay to sit with him for a while.

Seeing that his eyes were sad, and thinking that he had no parents and was alone, I said that he would go back in half an hour at most.

That's what he happily replied to, yes.

As I walked inside, I saw everything in the house and asked him, "You really don't live here?" ”

"Take a hot shower every night and I'll go back!" He turned on the TV as he said and asked me what I wanted to drink.

I said no, and asked him why he didn't live here.

"It's all like home, I'm alone, and I can't sleep at night! And living in my compound, you can hear dogs barking and chickens barking, and you won't be alone! After he finished speaking, he turned his back to me and took a paper cup to catch water.

Seeing that the house was spotless, I asked him if he had any cleanliness.

While drinking water and rinsing his mouth, he said that when he was a soldier, if he was sat on a flat white sheet, he would be very distressed and caring.

I laughed.

He asked me if he didn't think there was something wrong with him.

I said that love to be clean is an advantage, how is there a psychological problem.

He talked a lot, about his ex-girlfriend, and how his friends discussed his advantages, but I was the only one who made him feel comfortable.

After saying that, I didn't say anything, but he looked at me stunned and said that we should try it everywhere.

I immediately waved my hand: No! No way! I'm lazy.

He didn't say a word, and drank the water from the cup with his head up. Maybe he drank quickly, or he was already upset in his stomach, and there were signs of vomiting, so he went to the bathroom.

After a while, I heard the sound of rushing water, and when I didn't see Ren Peng come out for a long time, I went over to look.

He grabbed the edge of the pool with both hands, the water dripping down his face, and looked at himself in the mirror in a daze.

When my face appeared in the mirror, he turned around, grabbed my arm with both hands, his eyes were red, and asked me if I felt sorry for him.

As he waited for my reply, he pursed his lips as if he was about to cry.

I suddenly felt sorry for this lonely man, and said with tears in my eyes: I am a woman abandoned by my husband, and I don't feel worthy of you. ”

My wounds, my pain, I don't want others to see it, when Ren Peng reached out to wipe my tears, I said I should go. The moment I turned around, I was hugged by him, his big hand touched my hair, lowered his head, he said that I was the woman he really loved in his life, give him a chance.

The marriage has failed once, and I am afraid of being hurt again, and I am no longer excited about the promise of beauty.

And at this time, Ren Peng, I knew the fragility of his heart, I didn't dare to hurt him, I raised my head to tell him, we are confidants in life. As soon as I looked up, the lips of the two were only a finger away, and before I could react, he frowned at my lips.

I suddenly remembered Feng Wei's hysteria when Erhu invaded me in the provincial capital. I pushed Ren Peng away, ran away, and before going out, grabbed the bag on the shoe cabinet and went out in tears.

Out of the building, the white flowers and flowers of the sun pierced the eyes, the breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and the grass swayed. My legs seemed to be filled with lead, my expression was numb, I looked lost and depressed, I called a taxi, opened the car door, but I didn't want to sit anymore, and the angry taxi driver scolded me for being insane.

I want to walk with the flow of people and want to know what expressions of passers-by? Are people in the past three-three-two? Or is it a loner? And I wondered, where is the temptation of the city? Why did Feng Wei betray me?

On my way home by bus, Ren Peng called and repeatedly apologized for his mistake, begged me for forgiveness, and said that he would come to collect the food as usual tomorrow morning and let me wait for him.

As soon as I hung up, Feng Wei called again and asked me if I was okay and what I was doing? Thinking of this period of time, I really turned a weak woman into a female man, and yelled at him angrily, does my life or death have anything to do with you? Don't call me again in the future.

Feng Wei was not angry at my rants, but said to discuss with me, he wanted Bobo to go to school in the provincial capital. On the phone, he talked about the benefits of Bobo going to school in the provincial capital and his plans for the future.

I didn't want to hear it, so I just hung up and turned off my phone.

Outside the window, the wheat waves are rolling in the fields, and the white clouds are drifting in the high and far-reaching blue sky. I feel that the wheat seedlings are supported by the earth, the white clouds are supported by the blue sky, and who is my reliable person?

When I got home, my mother-in-law asked me why I was late today. I said with a tired look on my face that something was wrong.
