Chapter 96: Get everything back to square one
When I was in the hospital, I occasionally saw an uncle reading the book "Talking about the Tang Dynasty" in the garden downstairs, which was about the history of the Tang Dynasty, and I could see him reading it almost every day when I went downstairs.
One day he handed me the book and said he had read it and gave it to me.
I still remember that afternoon sun was very pleasant, the branches of the locust tree in the hospital were like huge palms on top of my head, and I opened the book and saw a name - Tang Xuanzong Li Chen!
My head twitched for a moment, and by the time I closed the book again, it was like a new life!
After I was discharged from the hospital, my temperament changed greatly, I began to indulge in soap operas, and my life became more and more free, so that when I applied for volunteering, I randomly filled in the economics and management department of an ordinary university, and the first time I saw Little Tail after college, I thought I would become friends with her, because my goal was to become like her.
Later, she took me everywhere, and I finally learned three points!
It is rumored from the outside world that Tang Wan, the once rich daughter, is a waste if she doesn't learn or know, that's right, I'm a waste, the more the outside world says this, the more the Li family will feel that I can't pose a threat to them!
So Gu You Li Chen pretended to be crazy and stupid to avoid the dispute between the eunuchs and finally ascended the throne.
Now I, Tang Wan, eat, drink and have fun, don't learn or have no skills, just for a free body!
Over the years, I have long been accustomed to it, as if I have become such a wasted person, but on this rainy night, because of Song Qingyi's words, I remembered that I once had ideals and ambitions, all of which are still there, just buried deep in my heart, waiting to be awakened!
When I woke up the next day, I turned on the phone and found that I had received a series of text messages on my phone, all from Li Zhao.
"Tang Wan, why don't you answer my phone?"
"Are you with someone surnamed Song?"
"Have you ever gone home? See Quick Back! ”
"Tang Wan, I warn you, you have to carry me and Hu Lai, surnamed Song, behind my back again, believe it or not, I will abolish you!"
"Xiaowan, I miss you."
I watched it for a long time, my eyes were a little dry, and my hand holding the phone tightened, but I still resolutely cleared all the text messages!
I asked Song Qingyi to ask Tang Jia to come out, and I plan to have a good talk with Tang Jia.
This is almost the first time in so many years that my sister and brother have calmly made an appointment to talk to the teahouse.
I arrived earlier than Tang Jia, the private room of the teahouse has a big word "quiet", I sat on my knees, my fingers stroked a complete set of tea ceremony utensils, and suddenly my hands flew down, the wooden lattice window is an antique design, revealing a strong classical charm, slightly open, blowing up the wisps of my long hair.
I haven't touched this thing for a long time, I used to like to drink tea, which is a bit of a quirk for a girl in the flower season, but it is also the only hobby that Tang Jia and I share!
Tang Jia is the kind of person who is more withdrawn, he is different from Li Zhao, Li Zhao feels invincible and can't climb high, while Tang Jia can feel the cold on his body when he walks ten meters away, so cold that people's teeth chatter.
When Tang Jia came in, I only glanced up at him, and continued to keep my head down, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then walked to sit cross-legged across from me.
I just put the teacup that had just been divided into seven points in front of him, Tang Jia's clean fingers gently picked it up and put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then looked up at me deeply, took a slow sip and put down the cup: "It's a step back, the boiling water is poured out three seconds faster, and the tea taste is not at its best." ”
I picked up another glass and tasted it, and it seemed that something was missing.
Tang Jia raised his hand to pour out the tea leaves, and after cleaning, he took the teaspoon and tea needle, and while making tea calmly and calmly, he asked me lightly: "Have you thought about it?" ”
I looked at his skillful techniques, and I was in a trance for a while, Li Zhao not only grew up with me, but it stands to reason that he also grew up with Tang Jia, but the relationship between the two of them has not been salty since childhood, if Li Zhao comes to me and happens to meet Tang Jia, they will only nod their heads to each other, and there is no intersection other than that, so for Tang Jia, Li Zhao is just a person he knows, and for me, it is much more complicated.
Tang Jia didn't look up but just opened his mouth lightly: "Tang Wan, in fact, no matter what decision you make, I won't be surprised, after all, you are different from me, but I also want to tell you today that no matter what decision you make, I will not change, the only difference is that do you want to become an ally with me, or an enemy?" ”
Closing his words, he handed me a cup of brewed tea, and at the same time raised his eyes and waited quietly, in an instant, the air condensed, and I only had Tang Jia's slightly deep eyes in my eyes, he was my only relative in this world, and I grew up with my younger brother, and Fu Run should have been Tang Jia's, even if he wanted to get back what belonged to him, it was understandable.
can think of me standing on the opposite side of Li Zhao, why do I have the pain of making a difficult choice in my heart.
The two of us just stood still, looking at each other, in the small teacup, the green and yellow liquid was so calm that there was no ripple, which reflected that when Tang Jia and I came out of prison, he took my hand, at that moment, he was speechless as he is now, but he has been taking care of the silent me during that time, and when I am sad and helpless and painful, he takes care of my father's funeral alone like an adult.
The tip of my nose was suddenly slightly sour, and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he took the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, and then looked at Tang Jia fixedly.
There was finally a hint of emotion on his face, and he said: "You haven't made tea for a long time, it's inevitable that you'll be rusty, and a lot of things, take your time, and they will naturally be on track." ”
That afternoon, Tang Jia made tea for me cup by cup, and we talked a lot, talking about our life after separation, I didn't have anything to say here, anyway, we were all eating, drinking, and having fun.
And he talked about when he worked in Germany, he went to the store to brush the plates, worked as a supermarket cashier, worked as a housekeeper, and even helped people take care of children, I smiled and asked him if he could bring it? He rarely smiled lightly, saying that the child pulled him up, and he still remembered the smell.
I haven't seen the smile on Tang Jia's face for a long time, as if from the moment my father left, he was forced to grow into an adult and bear the pressure from all sides.
I asked him why he was the translator of Lester Lin, he smiled faintly, and told me that Zhongtou Group is a very large investor in the country, he looks at the strength of Zhongtou, Lester Lin just came to East China as president, he did him a small favor, the two of them are strong, according to Tang Jia's words, not so much he is Lester Lin's translator, but more like a staff officer, in short, the foreigner trusts him very much, and he said that if you want to move Furun, it is impossible to shake without a certain amount of funds!
His tone was light, but it was immensely heavy.
Later, I asked him if he knew about Song Qingyi's car accident, and he only said, "It's in the past." ”
There seems to be a reluctance to mention it between words.
Maybe it's been too long since I've been so quiet with Tang Jia, but time flies quickly, and the sunset outside the window casts a warm slanting glow, but I suddenly remembered something.
Turning his head and asking Tang Jia, "920617, why can you guess this password?" ”
Tang Jia's action of bringing the teacup to his mouth finally stopped, and he slowly put the cup down again.
Told me very calmly: "June 17, '92, the day she left us. ”
I was stunned: "Who?" ”
Tang Jia lowered his eyes and stopped looking at me.
I suddenly realized something, and I was a little emotional: "You mean, Mom? The day Mom died? ”
Tang Jia raised his head and stared at me again: "I only know that she was still alive and well the day she left." ”
For a moment, I felt a little confused in my head, and I didn't react, my father told me since I was a child that my mother died, and Tang Jia and I were born on June 10th, that is, our mother left 7 days after giving birth to us!
I stood up with a "bang": "Tang Jia, what do you mean you tell me clearly, what do you want her to leave?" Is it to leave us or to leave the world? ”
"I've made it very clear."
I walked up to him in disbelief: "You, how do you know?" Have you seen her? ”
At this time, Tang Jia walked to the window, pushed the half-hidden wooden lattice window open, and lit a cigarette: "I haven't seen it." ”
Tang Jia's face was a layer of sadness, he said that he had inquired a long time ago, the situation after we were born, there were so many doctors and nurses in the hospital at that time, it was not difficult to inquire, according to the people in the hospital, when my mother gave birth to me and Tang Jia, it was a smooth delivery, and there was nothing wrong.
It's just that a few days after giving birth to us, the people in the hospital never saw her again.
All of a sudden, a lot of mysteries slammed down on me!
Why didn't she want us after she gave birth to me and Tang Jia? Is she not dead at all, she is still alive, but my father lied to me in order not to make me sad and not let me know the truth?
The more I thought about it, the more likely I felt that my father had loved me since I was a child, and he must not want me to know the fact that my mother didn't want me
When it came to this topic, Tang Jia and I were relatively quiet, he was smoking a cigarette and I was staring at the tea cup in a daze.
Tang Jia and I are very strange, we rarely talk and rarely play together, but about the blood of compatriots will make me particularly dependent on him, although I think I am her sister, but in fact, Tang Jia has taken care of me silently since I was a child.
When I was a child, I was naughty, and Tang Jia and I were still and motionless, and at that time my house had a big yard, and the maid would lock the courtyard door when he went out to buy vegetables.
I climbed to the top of the wall, but I couldn't get down, wow wow crying, the boy was delayed after all, Tang Jia was not as tall as me at that time, but he moved a lot of small benches, one by one, and then climbed up and stretched out his hand to me, but I didn't dare!
Tang Jia said very coldly: "If you don't come, just stay on it by yourself." ”
So at that time, if anyone saw it, they would think it was funny, a short male doll holding a female doll taller than himself, climbing down from the wall.
About I have been able to eat since I was a child, so it is also very heavy, Tang Jia was about to reach the ground after all, the bench was crooked, and we fell!
It's just that when I fell to the ground, Tang Jia took me in his arms and protected me, and the result was that I was fine, but Tang Jia's elbow fell quite badly, and he immediately bled a lot.
In the evening, Dad came back and scolded Tang Jia, saying that he was too naughty and disobedient, and punished him for standing and not giving him dinner.
I sat at the dinner table, gulping and pulling, and my dad kept putting chicken drumsticks in my bowl.
I watched Tang Jia stand in the corner with his head bowed, feeling guilty.
At night, sneaking into his room with a big chicken leg, he was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back
Later, when I was a little older, my first menstrual experience, my father was not at home, I was so scared that I locked myself in the toilet for nearly two hours, and then Tang Jia knocked on the door and asked me what I was doing, but I never said, twenty minutes later, he opened the door from the outside and threw in a package of plane tickets.
When I came out, I saw him and felt embarrassed to death, but he said very disdainfully, "What a fuss! ”
In the next few days, as soon as I drank cold water, Tang Jia would snatch it, pour hot water and hand it to me
Although I will be very entangled in the thought of being an enemy of Li Zhao, I will still choose him without hesitation when comparing with Tang Jia, because Tang Jia is too important to me!
