Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is time for Cheng Yan to take the high school entrance examination. During this period of time, it was safe and sound, nothing happened, but Cheng Jiahua came home more and more often, and stayed longer and longer, of course He Tu complained endlessly, his face was more gloomy than before, and nine out of ten sentences were provocative, but Cheng Jiahua seemed to have exercised some ability, and automatically blocked her face and words, as if she couldn't hear it, laugh when she should laugh, and make trouble with the children, as if the family was still harmonious. Since piercing that layer of window paper, Hedi's courage has become bigger and bigger, and going out on a date with Zheng Xi is actually above board, as if he is afraid that others will not know, so the rumors outside have become more and more fierce, and almost everyone living in that small circle knows about it. But Hetu turned a blind eye to this and didn't care at all.

Does Cheng Jiahua care? Of course he cared, although he pretended to be kind and indifferent on the surface, but when it was late at night, when he stood outside the door and looked at Hedi's sleeping face, only he knew how uncomfortable and angry he was. Even so, he is still reluctant, reluctant to this family, reluctant to run this family very perfectly. When he is older, he is no longer the same as when he was young, he is afraid of losing, and he is even more afraid of becoming a person, therefore, he would rather bear those rumors than let go easily, and there is also a breath in his heart, he just wants to hang the two of them like this, his life is not satisfactory, and he will not let their lives be unsatisfactory.

One day, when he went back to his parents' house, he was reprimanded by his father for this incident, and he felt that he had lost face, and even brought a layer of shame on his parents' faces. Cheng Jiahua didn't even dare to look at his father's eyes a few times, and hurriedly returned home, when He Tu was squatting on the steps to wash clothes, when he saw him come in, he rolled his eyes coldly at him, lowered his head and continued to be busy with the business at hand.

Cheng Jiahua didn't know how many times he had suffered such a cold eye, but today he couldn't swallow it no matter what, he walked up to Hedi, grabbed her arm, and roared in a low voice: "Now even my parents know!" ”

He Tu pulled his arm out of his hand, patted it in disgust, and said, "It's my business!" ”

"You did everything yourself, why is it none of your business?"

He Tu wanted to say the word "divorce" angrily, but suddenly remembered Zheng Xi's reaction, and she suddenly sobered up and realized that if she divorced, she would only lose everything. She swallowed those two words back with difficulty, frowned, and said in disgust: "Stay away from me!" ”

"You think I want to be close to you?" Cheng Jiahua sneered, and his face immediately turned cold, "I'm going to the store tomorrow, you follow me." ”

He Tu looked at him in shock and said, "What are you kidding?" ”

"I'm not kidding." Cheng Jiahua had a blank face, and his eyes were gloomy.

"Xiao Yan is about to take the high school entrance examination, how can I do if there is no one to take care of me at home?" He Tu was very reluctant to go, but he couldn't say anything about the origin of the manager, so he had to use Cheng Yan as an excuse.

"Then wait for Xiao Yan to come with me when the middle school exam is over and during the holidays." Cheng Jiahua had already thought about it, he stepped on the steps and walked towards the house, and his tone of voice sounded like there was no room for negotiation at all.

He Tu stared blankly at the wet clothes in his hand, not knowing what to do for a while. No matter how bold she is, she can only be when Cheng Jiahua is away, when he was there, she never dared to meet Zheng Xi, and now that things have come to this point, he wants to take her away, if she makes trouble, according to Cheng Jiahua's soft temper - thinking of this, Hedi's mind was suddenly patted by someone, is Cheng Jiahua's temper soft? She thought about it carefully, although he looked like a bully, but he had a lot of ideas inside, if he really made trouble, she might not be able to make trouble. Together's brow furrowed, her heart becoming confused, and she glanced in the direction of the warehouse, not knowing what to do.

It was only half a month before Cheng Yan's high school entrance examination, and Cheng Jiahua's shop was urgent, so he went back a few times, but he came back after staying for a short time. He Tu was very bored with this, but there was nothing she could do, during this time, she and Zheng Xi only saw each other a few times, every time Cheng Jiahua came back, she began to be silent, not only felt bored in her heart, but also felt that life was boring, and her temper became more and more irritable, a little thing could make her angry, and scolded the two children for a long time.

Cheng Lin is a boy with a big temper, every time He Tu scolds Cheng Lin, he will be pushed back, and gradually, she no longer blames Cheng Lin, but turns her anger to Cheng Yan. Cheng Yan is introverted and cowardly, and usually only refutes the last two sentences when he is scolded in a hurry, but he can't refute anything, and he is pressed down by his fangs and sharp mouth. After a long time, Hetu actually felt that doing this could vent the boredom in her heart, and the number of tantrums increased, only when Cheng Jiahua was there, she restrained a little.

It's just that Cheng Yan is old and has reached puberty, and she has an idea in her heart, and she has her own opinions on what to do and what not to do. She loves to read, and she loves to learn from books the truths that her parents never taught her, so every time her mother loses her temper, she feels unbearable and unable to understand. It's obviously a mother and daughter, but why do you always act like enemies, especially your mother, she clearly didn't do anything wrong, and her mother can scold her, and the words she scolds are all foul language in the market, which is very ugly. Cheng Yan was bored and scared, after a long time, she didn't even want to stay at home, and even when she thought of the word home, the first impression that appeared in her head was dull, dark, irritable and nightmares. She was not very cheerful and confident, but gradually became more and more inferior and introverted, and she didn't even dare to laugh with her classmates at school.

Since her father came back, her mother's temper has become even more irritable, although when her father is at home, she will turn her anger on her father, but as soon as her father goes out, her temper will come to Cheng Yan. Therefore, Cheng Yan will find many excuses to go out, saying that he is about to take the high school entrance examination, and he will go to make up classes or do homework with his classmates. When she is outside, she feels more relaxed and happy, not as miserable as at home.

As for which middle school to go to, Cheng Yan already had an idea in her heart, how desperate she was to leave this home, how eager she was to start a new life immediately, her grades were good, she had already chosen a middle school in the city, and the school needed boarding, but she was not afraid, and even began to yearn for it, thinking that it should be very happy to live with her friends.

Those days were a little difficult, although because of the exam, his mother tried her best to control her temper, but Cheng Yan still felt very stressed. She went to midnight every night, got up early in the morning to go to school, and soon the hottest month of the year came, and the moment of change in her life came.

Her mother sent her there the morning of the exam. The mother and daughter walked in front and behind, hurrying in their steps. Cheng Yan was carrying a schoolbag, which only contained stationery, which was very relaxed, and her mood was as relaxed as this schoolbag. When she was about to go to school, she glanced at her mother's figure, and now, she was about the same height as her mother, but her mother was much thinner than her, and she only looked at the back, but she felt that they were like sisters. When my mother doesn't lose her temper, she still loves herself very much. Cheng Yan thought to herself, her emotions couldn't help but become complicated, but she immediately gathered her mind, took a few deep breaths, and recalled the knowledge points she reviewed last night.

The time for the exam passed quickly, and when the last exam was over, Cheng Yan was completely relaxed. She carried her schoolbag in one hand and jumped out of the school gate, planning to buy a popsicle to treat herself. Suddenly, in the crowd, she saw Uncle Zheng, and her footsteps suddenly stopped.

Zheng Xi also saw her quickly, walked over with a busy smile, and said, "Your mother is busy today, let me pick you up for dinner." ”

"Eat?" Cheng Yan looked at him suspiciously, although he had been in contact with Zheng Xi a few times, he was always present with his mother, what did he want to eat with him alone? She couldn't help but hesitate.

"Your mom is too." Seeing her like this, Zheng Xi hurriedly said, "She is busy with things, and she will come to us when she is done." ”

"Where's my mom?" Cheng Yan asked.

Zheng Xi's expression became embarrassed, and after a while, he said, "Your mother is busy packing her luggage." ”

"Packing?" Cheng Yan's eyes widened, "Where is my mother going?" ”

"We'll talk about it when we meet." Zheng Xi said, the phone rang suddenly, he picked it up and said a sentence or two, and smiled at Cheng Yan, "Your mother has arrived, let's hurry over." ”

"Let me talk to my mom." Cheng Yan pointed to the mobile phone in his hand, still a little vigilant in his heart. Zheng Xi smiled helplessly, handed her the phone, Cheng Yan heard his mother's voice coming from the microphone, so he let go of his heart, carried his schoolbag, and followed Zheng Xi forward.

The place they were going to was not far from the school, just a few minutes by car. It was a restaurant, and Zheng Xi opened another box, and Hedi was sitting in it waiting for them. Seeing the two of them coming in, she smiled and said, "Xiao Yan finished the exam today, I'll take you to eat something delicious." ”

Her parents had never taken her out of the restaurant, and Cheng Yan couldn't help but feel a little flattered, but she still sat down, holding her schoolbag and looking at the two of them.

"Uncle Zheng said you were leaving." She looked at the two of them before asking.

Hedi's face drooped suddenly, she smiled bitterly, and said, "Well, go out with your dad for a while." ”

Zheng Xi lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.

When Cheng Yan heard this, she didn't know whether she was happy or sad for a while, her mother was gone, and no one was looking for stubble to scold her anymore, but no one cleaned the house and cooked. Cheng Yan thought to herself, and suddenly felt sad in her heart, could it be that her mother is such an existence for her? Just tools for cleaning the house and cooking? No, it's definitely not this that she's worried about, she thinks about it carefully, and feels a little unbelievable about her thoughts, she is reluctant to have a mother, she actually feels that the home with a mother is very warm.

Zheng Xi asked them to order food and eat whatever they wanted. Cheng Yan couldn't let go of it, and only listened to his mother's words. He ordered a lot of dishes, and let the waiter put them in front of Cheng Yan, and she looked at her daughter deeply, and there seemed to be some reluctance and love in her eyes.

"My girl is very obedient and sensible." After a while, she said suddenly. Cheng Yan glanced at her in surprise, but immediately lowered his head and ate the food in front of him uneasily.

He Tu turned his head and smiled at Zheng Xi: "I gave birth to these two, and only this girl understands me." ”

Zheng Xi also smiled and looked at Cheng Yan, as if Cheng Yan was his biological daughter. Cheng Yan felt even more uneasy under the gaze of the two people, and he almost didn't know what posture to eat.

This meal was extremely difficult, and when it was finally finished, Zheng Xi drove their mother and daughter to the intersection, and then they got out of the car and walked slowly towards home.

When she was about to arrive at the door, Hedi suddenly turned her head and said to her, "Don't tell your dad that we have dinner with Uncle Zheng today, just say that after you finish the exam, I will take you to eat something delicious." ”

Cheng Yan nodded and did not speak. In the distance, she heard the barking of dogs in her yard and couldn't help asking, "Where are you and my dad going?" ”

He sneered and said, "Go out and stay in his shop for a while." She straightened her hair, "You've finished your exam, why don't you take your brother to your grandmother's house for a while?" ”

"Nope." Cheng Yan shook his head, "I have to wait for the results." This is the most important thing in her heart at the moment, and it doesn't matter if you play.

"Okay, then I'm not here, what should you do if you eat with your brother?" He asked again.

"I'll do it."

He Tu smiled, "You know how to cook?" Alas, I'm used to you, and you can't cook at such an age. Forget it, it's really not good, you and your brother will go to your grandmother's house for dinner. ”

Cheng Yan remembered his grandfather's serious face and his grandmother's cloudy eyes, and also remembered his mother's complaints about him, so he suddenly shook his head and said, "I won't go, I'll do it myself." ”

He Tu sighed again and complained: "It's also your father's fault, when you can't go, it's at this time." In this way, you go back and make trouble with your dad, and say that you will leave when your results come out. ”

"Will my dad listen to me?" Cheng Yan glanced at his mother suspiciously.

"You try." Hedi's eyes lit up, as if he had found a way to save himself. Cheng Yan was infected by her emotions, although he was a little hesitant, he was determined to talk to his father.
