Chapter Seventy-Five: Redemption
Before Tingting came back, Yan Qing fell asleep and dreamed of her departed father.
Dad said to her in a dream: "Daughter, you must fight hard, work hard to earn money, work hard, only when you are strong and powerful, can you find a good family in the future." Dad couldn't stand you in this life, and he didn't leave you a rich dowry. You have to fight for yourself, Dad doesn't want to see you marry a cat and a dog and live a lifetime. Dad cried after speaking, and Yanqing wanted to wipe away the tears from his father's face, but his face gradually disappeared from her face, and little by little, he couldn't see it.
Yan Qing told his father in his dream not to go, not to go. When I woke up, I found that tears were wet from the corners of my eyes.
Tingting stood silently in front of the window, facing the ridge outside the house, Yan Qing heard her choked voice, and the other two girls were comforting her, patting her on the back. Yan Qing picked up the quilt, got up in one go, and asked worriedly: "Tingting, what's wrong?"
Tingting wiped her tears and didn't speak, Yan Qing saw her crying red eyes, turned her head to ask the thin girl, but Tingting suddenly ran over and lay on the edge of the bed.
"What the hell is going on?" The thin girl immediately ran over to comfort Tingting, and Yan Qing anxiously grabbed the other girl and asked.
"Her own mother and the woman just had a big fight." That woman naturally refers to Tingting's stepmother.
"Because of what?"
The chubby girl leaned into her ear and said: "My mother cried when she saw this scene, accusing her father of saying that her daughter was too shabby in marrying, but the stepmother came out and pointed at her mother's nose and scolded, saying that she gave birth to a shameless daughter, and she still had the face to accuse her father of being pregnant before marriage." ”
Yan Qing asked in surprise: "Her stepmother actually said that?" ”
"Yes, who did you say was not angry when she heard this, and it was her own daughter who got married, and her mother didn't know that her daughter was abused by her stepmother."
Tingting cried even more when she heard the conversation between the two, and Yan Qing felt that she was sympathizing with this girl who was still a minor but was about to get married from beginning to end.
She walked over and comforted: "Tingting, I know you are very sad now, but today is your happy day, don't cry." ”
"yes, yes." The two of them followed suit.
Tingting heard that someone was comforting, but she cried even more, Yanqing looked at her and said seriously: "Tingting, some things are not your fault, some things we can't change, we can't decide to be born, we can't decide who our parents are, but we can decide how we should live our lives in the future." You are still young, only seventeen years old this year, you still have a long life, although you were a little unhappy before, but you will be very happy from today in the future, you see that you are going to get married tomorrow, this is what you have fought for, it is what you want, at least you have to leave this family, you have to leave your stepmother, this is also a temporary victory. ”
Yan Qing said that his eyes were red, "At least you still have a father, although he is not as loving to you as an ordinary father, but he has always been by your side, never gave up on you, left you, you still have such a one."
My loved ones are around, but I don't even have a father anymore, and I can only hope to see his face in my dreams every day, but that is also illusory. ”
Tingting sat up, and the other two girls also looked at her blankly.
In fact, parents also have their own difficulties, which parents don't want to give their children the best things, but their abilities are limited, their horizons are limited, their thoughts are limited, we can't demand them with the standard of the best parents in the world, just as they can't ask us like the best children. My family's conditions are not good, I used to think about why I didn't have a good baby, why my parents are not rich, why I can't live that kind of life where clothes are stretched out and food is opened, why my family conditions parents still give me a younger brother to share what I don't have. But it wasn't until my father left that I realized how important it was to have a loved one and how blessed it was to have a loved one by my side. So, Tingting, you are happy, not only have your parents, mothers and brothers, but now your husband and the little baby in your belly are all in love with you. ”
Several people were stunned, Yanqing's eyes were moist, Tingting took a breath and hugged her tightly.
An elderly man's voice came from outside the door, "Tingting, my child." ”
Yan Qing let go of Tingting and looked behind him, and an old man with white hair came in crying, this was the first person Yan Qing had come upstairs after being here for so long.
"Hello grandma." The two girls shouted, and Yan Qing knew intuitively that this was Grandma Tingting, and she also called Grandma.
"Good boy." The old woman pulled Yan Qing's arm. "You are the college student, grandma heard what you said just now, what a good boy, Tingting said that she knew a college student, I don't believe it yet, it would be nice if Tingting also studied in college like you."
"Tingting is very good, and she is about to get married." To put it mildly.
Grandma let go of her hand, sat down, looked at Tingting and didn't speak, her eyes were full of tears, and she told her what to do when she got to the man's house. Yan Qing walked to the window.
Grandma said for a while and left, and when she heard grandma's voice trembling later, probably because she didn't want her granddaughter to be more upset, she went downstairs and secretly found a corner to cry before she could control her tears.
It was getting dark, and several people heard the sound of food being opened downstairs.
Yan Qing said, "Are you hungry? It's time to eat downstairs. ”
Tingting shook her head, "Let's eat later, and we'll eat when the guests are gone." ”
Knowing that Tingting was in a bad mood, although Yanqing was a little hungry, she didn't say much. I tried to find something to eat in the house, but I couldn't find anything except the candy that I had given out at lunchtime. It's not good to go to Tingting to ask, so I can only endure it.
Remembering the question of accommodation for the night, she asked, "Where will I sleep tonight?" ”
Tingting looked at the only bed in the room and said, "Sleep here." ”
"What about the two of them?"
"They sleep here, too."
Yan Qing opened his mouth in surprise, the bed in front of him was only one meter five at most, and he could barely sleep two people
Yes, how do four people sleep?
"Are the four of us sleeping in this bed?"
She nodded.
"Aren't the two of them living here?" Yan Qing's subconscious was that this bed could only sleep two people.
"They used to live here, but now they can't live in the house, and they came back because I got married."
"Is there no other place to live?" Yan Qing really didn't want the four of them to squeeze into this small bed, and her figure was a little tall, if she really wanted four people to sleep together, maybe she wouldn't even have a place to turn over. She really can't accept such an accommodation environment.
"Otherwise, I'll ask if my uncle's house can stay later." Tingting said embarrassedly.
Tingting's life is not easy, she doesn't want to add trouble to Tingting, but she really can't bear it.
While eating at night, Yan Qing had already made up her mind to pay attention, if she had to squeeze four people into one bed, then she would leave overnight, and she had fulfilled her promise to come on this trip, and it didn't make much sense to go to the man's house tomorrow. Just wait a while and give the gift money to Tingting.
After eating, it was already dark, and it was already past six o'clock, and Tingting disappeared after a while. After asking someone, I found out that Tingting went to the city to get a wedding dress, and it took more than an hour to come back.
The countryside is different from the city, not all the time can do the car, the village car is a fixed shift, half an hour or the hour will have a car. As soon as it gets dark, there is no car, and if there is no car, how can I go back later?
When Tingting came back, it was almost eight o'clock. Yan Qing anxiously grabbed her and asked, "Tingting, how are we going to sleep tonight?" Is there a place to sleep at your uncle's house? ”
Yan Qing said this, Tingting remembered that there was still such a thing that had not been resolved, according to her arrangement, the four of them squeezed tonight, so she said to ask her uncle if she could live, but she just said casually, how do you know that Yan Qing is serious.
After a while, Yanqing saw Tingting coming over calmly, and said to her unhurriedly: "Uncle's house can't live anymore, there are already many people living there, let's squeeze it tonight, it's only one night anyway." ”
Yan Qing was stunned, there was no bed to sleep, no car to go back to the city, this result was not what she wanted, she asked hopelessly: "What time is the latest car to return to the city." ”
"It seems like eight o'clock."
After looking at the watch, it was already 7:50, Yan Qing quickly ran upstairs and took the bag, pulled Tingting aside, took out a red envelope from the bag and handed it to Tingting.
"What is this?" Tingting asked politely.
"You're welcome, take it, I don't have any financial resources for studying now, this is a little bit of my heart, I wish you a happy marriage."
Tingting glanced at Yan Qing and put the red envelope in her pocket. "Let's go upstairs, we'll have a gift flower later, and you can see it more clearly upstairs."
Yan Qing grabbed her, "No, Tingting, I'm ...... There's a temporary class at school tomorrow, and I have to rush back tonight. ”
"Go back tonight?" Tingting asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I'm going back tonight, I'm sorry, I can't deliver it tomorrow
You've got it. ”
"No, you have to stay."
Yan Qing shook her head, no matter how Tingting kept her, she was determined to leave, she was a person, she just decided to do something, no matter what difficulties there were, she must do it, sometimes, she doesn't even care about other people's feelings.
The car came, Yan Qing ignored Tingting's obstruction, ran to the car, and fireworks were set off in the distance, only the countryside could see this kind of fireworks.
The fireworks are dazzling, soaring into the sky and then scattered in colorful colors, and finally disappearing into mid-air, one after another.
Yan Qinghalal hopes that her and Tingting's lives can be as gorgeous as this fireworks.
At the same time, she made another decision, it was time to change herself......
