Chapter 21: Running away from home

On the fifth day of the party, the people who stayed in City A were only about half of the original, so the atmosphere naturally seemed a little colder, and those who stayed were basically local people living and working in City A, as well as those who were relatively close to the road, and many of them left early because they didn't have so many holidays at work.

Tang Hongye and Du Juan, as the host side of City A, temporarily had to go back to work in advance on the fourth day because of some things at work, and at the end of the fifth day, they rushed over to practice for the old classmates in the field, this time the gathering is still relatively happy, just because everyone has their own work and life, the next time they can get together again, when will it be, then I really don't know.

When he said goodbye, Tang Hongye didn't see Hou Changsheng, and he didn't feel anything surprising, after all, he had come to the vicinity of City A early to play, and there shouldn't be too much freshness here, plus he was dragging his family over, and the business at home was also thrown away, so it was very understandable to go back early. Not only Tang Hongye, but no one else was surprised by Hou Changsheng's early retirement.

Just after sending off their old classmates from other places, Tang Hongye and Du Juan returned home with a tired body, because they were too lazy to cook, the two of them made a bowl of instant noodles even if they coped with dinner, but even if it was a very low standard instant noodle dinner this night, the two of them were not able to eat steadily.

Because Tang Hongye had just eaten half of it, he received a phone call, an unexpected phone call.

"Hey, are you Tang Hongye? Hongye, I'm your sister-in-law! The phone number was unfamiliar, and after answering the phone, a woman on the other side of the phone said to Tang Hongye in a very familiar tone.

Tang Hongye frowned, and based on the voice and tone of his voice, he could probably guess who this person who called him would be, but he really didn't know what Hou Changsheng's wife could do when he called him, and he didn't want to pay attention to this woman.

"What's the matter with you?" Tang Hongye asked in a cold tone.

"It's nothing, I just want to find the monkey, you let him talk to me." Hou Changsheng's wife said.

When Tang Hongye heard this, he was also a little puzzled: "Why are you looking for a monkey to call me?" ”

"What? Isn't he with you? When Hou Changsheng's wife heard Tang Hongye say this, she didn't seem to particularly believe it, "Hongye, I know that you and the monkey are good buddies, but there are some things that can help him, and some things that can't help him!" If this is in our house, he loves to come back or not, really, I won't call him, if I look for him, I will have your surname! But now that this is in City A, he hid out without a sound and threw me and the two children, what should we do with our mother? You can't hide it for him this time, if you let him talk to me, he will have to send our mother and wife home anyway! ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, Hou Changsheng is not here with me, except for the first day of the party, I have not had any contact or communication with him." Tang Hongye could hear that nine times out of ten, these two people had something awkward, and now Hou Changsheng's wife couldn't find anyone, and couldn't think of any other way, so she found here.

Hou Changsheng's wife probably could also hear that Tang Hongye did not deliberately help him hide it in order to protect Hou Changsheng, but he didn't know Hou Changsheng's whereabouts at all, and he didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he was so cold, so he replied in a sneering voice, saying that she would ask other classmates to give it a try, and then hung up the phone.

Tang Hongye put down the phone and saw that Du Juan was looking at him with inquiring eyes, so he repeated what Hou Changsheng's wife said on the phone to Du Juan, and Du Juan frowned when he heard the target.

"Hou Changsheng quarreled with her, it stands to reason that there is the previous unhappiness there, and she shouldn't choose to call and ask you," Du Juan heard a clue from Hou Changsheng's wife's approach, "Is it the reason why Hou Changsheng quarreled with her, or is it related to the previous incident?" Or is it related to what you talked to him in KTV on the night of the class reunion? So Hou Changsheng's wife will feel that since Hou Changsheng quarreled with her and ran away in order to protect your buddy, then the most likely thing is to come to you after leaving the residence, and call you to ask for someone to be safe? ”

Tang Hongye also thought of what Du Juan said, but now this is just a one-sided guess, before he had wishful thinking that Hou Changsheng would be a reasonable person, but he was brutally slapped in the face by the facts, and now he has some no confidence in Hou Changsheng.

So he waved his hand casually: "Who knows what's going on with the two of them!" No matter what, it's none of our business anyway, let's eat noodles quickly, they will be soaked for a while, and they won't taste good! ”

In this way, after eating enough instant noodles, the two of them chatted for a while, then went back to their rooms to rest, and went to work in the bureau as usual the next morning, and the previous things were all left behind.

In this way, after three or four days of effort, another week passed in Pingping Shunshun, and there was no emergency, except for a duty task, when they could basically spend the weekend in peace, the two of them unexpectedly met Hou Changsheng's wife at the door of the house, as well as their pair of children, the mother and son stood at the door of Tang Hongye's house, it seemed that they had been coming for more than a while, and they should have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Tang Hongye and Du Juan standing at the elevator entrance in astonishment, Hou Changsheng's wife's face was also slightly embarrassed, especially when she saw the backpack that Tang Hongye was carrying for Du Juan in his hand, but she quickly adjusted her expression, and said to them before Tang Hongye could speak: "Let's go in and say, okay?" ”

Tang Hongye hesitated, but nodded, Hou Changsheng's wife spoke in a loud voice, if she really didn't let them in, no matter what she said in the corridor, it would have the effect of turning on the radio, Tang Hongye didn't want to make himself so famous in this unit, so he opened the door without saying a word, and let the mother and son follow him and Du Juan into the door.

After entering the door, Hou Changsheng's wife had the experience of the last time, so she was familiar with the way, changed into slippers, walked directly to the coffee table, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, quickly adjusted a few stations, and finally stopped at a channel that played cartoons.

"You two, sit on the sofa and watch cartoons, if anyone dares to run around and rummage things, you see that I won't beat your skin flying!" After she changed the TV channel, the remote control slapped heavily on the coffee table, pointed to the sofa, and said to her children with some majesty.

It is estimated that she still has a certain deterrent effect at home on weekdays, so as soon as she said this, the two children sat obediently on the sofa, one of them was reluctant, and wanted to say that she didn't want to watch this cartoon, but as soon as she spoke, before she could finish speaking, she was glanced at by her mother, and she was also very aware of current affairs and decisively chose to shut up, and swallowed the rest of the second half of the sentence and didn't say it.

Tang Hongye and Du Juan were a little inexplicable, they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Hou Changsheng's wife's gourd, and they couldn't say anything, so they could only wait and see.

It's not a good way, at least Hou Changsheng's wife first settled the two children and let them be honest, and then she looked up again, thought about it, pointed to the kitchen, and said to Du Juan and Tang Hongye: "You two come to the kitchen with me, I have something to tell you." Originally, I wanted to say go to the room of the two of you, but I was afraid that I wouldn't see these two little rabbits at a glance, so they tossed the sky again, and I could still see what they were doing with the sliding door of the kitchen, so you can rest assured, and I can rest assured, okay? ”

Tang Hongye nodded and went to the kitchen with Du Juan. Anyway, people have already been brought into the house, what the hell is going on, you can only figure it out by listening to her, and it is just a waste of time to say anything until then.

When the three of them arrived in the kitchen, Hou Changsheng's wife closed the sliding door, looked at the two children in the living room outside, and they were still sitting honestly on the sofa watching TV, only then did they collapse their faces, and said to Tang Hongye and the two of them in a crying voice at the same time: "I know that what I did before must have offended the two of you a long time ago, and it stands to reason that I shouldn't come to you again with my face in front of me, but I really have no choice. I can't think of anyone else who can help me without asking you! Hou Changsheng ran away from home! I can't contact him, his mobile phone is also unreachable, at first it was unreachable, and then it simply turned off, I thought he might just not want to take care of me, mixed with your classmates, but this saw that your class reunion was over, everyone should have left, he still didn't come back, I called home, and around the bush to contact the possible people to ask again, no one saw him go back, I don't know what to do now, I just want to ask if you can help me, Even if you know the slightest bit of information about where Hou Changsheng might be, you must tell me, don't help him hide it from me! I'm really dying now, the two of us have been together for all these years, we have quarreled and scolded, but it's really the first time that it's so big, I feel like I've lost my soul now, and it's very unsteady! ”

"Didn't I already tell you before, Hou Changsheng didn't contact me, let alone come to my house, this is not a lie I used to prevaricate you, it's all the truth," Tang Hongye sighed, and said patiently to Hou Changsheng's wife, "You also told us about what happened before, so Hou Changsheng quarreled with you, why do you think he would come to me to hide?" Do you think that makes sense? ”

"But he quarreled with me because of your business!" Hou Changsheng's wife was a little anxious when she heard Tang Hongye say this, her voice suddenly raised a little, and then she hurriedly lowered it, and her eyes looked at the movement of the two children in the living room outside the sliding door, "After returning from the farmhouse, the two of us quarreled, he drank some wine, I complained that he drank too much, and I didn't consider that I and the child were with him, nor did I say that I helped me, but he became angry with me, yelling at me, saying that I didn't give him a long face outside, and I didn't do anything well, and I gave him small shoes and eye medicine everywhere." ,I didn't think at first that he was angry with me because of that incident.,So I choked with him a few words.,And then he said.,What do you say because of me.,How many years of friendship buddy is gone.,Then I haven't heard it when I hear this.,I'll just say that you are thinking about protecting your buddy for everything.,You went with your buddy! Then he said that he was too disappointed in me, and if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have offended you, but he had already offended you for me, and I didn't understand his situation at all, so I would block him, and the life was boring, and then he slammed the door and left. ”

Speaking of this, Hou Changsheng's wife wiped away her tears with some grievances, and she looked at the child outside: "It's been a few days, he has no news at all, and I can't contact him, I am also worried that the child will be nervous and scared when he knows it, so I told them that my father went out to party with friends, and the event has not ended, so I haven't come back yet." But I can fool the two of them, I can't fool myself! Hou Changsheng has never been in contact with me for so many days, is it really because of this matter, he is so angry with me, and he doesn't want to continue with me? So I thought, if he thought I had a bad attitude before, then I will come to you today! I apologize to you, it was me who was wrong before, I shouldn't have cried because my sister came home sad, so I put this account on your head, it's all my fault, all the fault is on me, I'm sorry for you! I solemnly apologize to the two of you today, forgive me! Let Hou Changsheng come back! ”

As she spoke, she made a move to kneel on the ground, but Tang Hongye and Du Juan found it in time, and they grabbed their arms from left to right and stopped them.

"What are you doing here?!" Tang Hongye was a little annoyed, although Hou Changsheng's wife said a lot of apologies, but the meaning of the words seemed to be that they and Hou Changsheng deliberately hung her, as if they wanted to force her to bow her head and admit her mistakes, which was a little wrong, "What is Hou Changsheng?" He's a big living person, and he's not a stone or a candy, can I still hide him in my pocket? What did I tell you before, what is the truth, if you really have the heart to coax Hou Changsheng to be happy, what do you want to do is to wait until you find him himself, and it is more beautiful to do it in front of him. You don't apologize, we are all the same, we don't know anything about Hou Changsheng's whereabouts, do you want us to make up a lie to deceive you? ”
