Chapter 016: Old Things

Shu Wan sat in the car, watching Qi Tong chase Guo Roumei down from a distance, and the two were pulling and pulling on the side of the street.

Will one day I vent with a man so disregarding his image, ignoring the eyes of passers-by, and ignoring it?

She didn't deliberately follow Qi Tong's car, but it was the same way back to Huiyuan Community as to Guo Roumei's house. After she said goodbye to Xu Xiao and Yu Fei, she was afraid that Qi Tong would catch up with her, so she deliberately went to the bathroom, and fell behind.

Her car stopped for a few seconds; Hearing the car behind her honking its horn, she kicked the accelerator and continued to drive forward.

This woman is definitely a trouble, before she falls in love, she should retreat quickly, she thought.

At the next intersection, she turned around and drove towards her parents' house.

When I got home in the middle of the night, I opened the door with my fingerprint. Shu Zhihua and Ding Xiang were afraid that Shu Wan would not be able to find the key when he went home, so they had already replaced the door lock at home with a fingerprint lock.

With the faint night lamp in the living room, Shu Wan tiptoed upstairs, but still woke up his parents.

The large chandelier in the living room was turned on, and the parents stood upstairs in their pajamas looking down in the hallway.

"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I think it's a little late, so I'm too embarrassed to tell you in advance." Shu Wan was a little embarrassed.

"Child, this is your home, you can come back at any time, don't feel embarrassed." Shu Zhihua said.

"Shu Wan, is something happening?" Ding Xiang said with concern.

"It's fine. Isn't Yu Fei getting married today? I also felt a little emotional, thinking that if I got married one day, I wouldn't be so free to go home. While you haven't gotten married yet, hurry up and stay at home for a few more days. Shu Wan grinned and made excuses.

"Silly girl. As long as you don't marry far away, you can come home and live at any time. Shu Zhihua said lovingly.

Shu Wan smiled and said, "Hurry up and go to sleep." ”

"I'll give you a hot glass of milk. Your Aunt Tong has something to do at home, and she has returned to her hometown in the past two days. Ding Xiang said.

"No, no, no." Shu Wan waved his hand again and again.

Seeing that Ding Xiang insisted on going downstairs, she hurriedly went downstairs by herself, and said, "I'll heat it myself." Mom and Dad, go to bed. You're making me uncomfortable like that. ”

"Silly boy! Then you drink milk and hurry up and rest. Ding Xiang said.

"Got it!" Shu Wan made an OK gesture.

She went to the kitchen, opened the door to the refrigerator, and found that there was a meal reserved inside. The bridge of her nose is a little pantothenic: it's all her favorite dishes.

She hardly came to the kitchen, stayed in the bedroom all day, and called Aunt Dong whatever she wanted.

is in his thirties, and his parents still reserve his favorite dishes for himself, but he never pays attention to what his parents like to eat. Mother always scolds herself for treating her home as a hotel, so why not?

At the wedding banquet, although Qi Tong has been serving himself vegetables, he has not eaten a few bites, which will be really hungry.

She served her meals hot, warmed her milk, and hummed a little tune. After a while, in order to save trouble, I moved a chair and sat in a corner of the kitchen to eat and drink.

Ding Xiang tiptoed downstairs and tiptoed upstairs; She woke up Shu Zhihua, who was sleeping soundly, with a happy face, and said, "Husband, do you know what our daughter is doing now?" ”

"What?" Shu Zhihua was full of sleep.

She's humming a little song, warming up the food we left for her. Zhihua, do you think our daughter is stupid? Go to someone's wedding banquet for dinner, and don't you have a special meal? ”

"I think you're stupid. She is such a big person, she will take care of herself, and she doesn't have to keep an eye on it all the time. Hurry up and go to sleep. ”

"Well, sleep, sleep."

That night, Shu Wan fell asleep very late. She turned her mobile phone into airplane mode, connected to the WIFI at home again, and played Jin Zhiwen's "Flying Away" on her mobile phone, thinking about whether it was time for her to take a vacation. Grandma doesn't know what happened, she has to go back to her hometown to see.

The next day, Shu Wan didn't get up until three poles a day. She wanted to sleep more, but she knew that if she got up late, her mother would come up with breakfast and let her sit on the bed and eat.

There are not many in the world that are so accommodating to their children, right?

Skipping breakfast is not good for the stomach, she keeps chattering.

After Shu Wan finished washing, she kicked her slippers down, and her mother had already prepared breakfast.

"I was going to call you. Sit down and drink a glass of milk first. The bread was ready right away. Ding Xiang said with a smile.

Shu Zhihua yawned and came down from upstairs and said, "Shu Wan, I thought about it with your mother, do you have something to hide from us?" ”

"Nope." Shu Wan pretended to be stupid.

"Did something happen to you lately?" Shu Zhihua asked.

"Nope. I'm justβ€”grown up. Shu Wan smiled shamelessly.

Ding Xiang and Shu Zhihua glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.

"What's the matter, don't hold back. Your mom and I will always stand behind you. Shu Zhihua said seriously.

"Got it. My home is my eternal harbor," Shu Wan took a sip of milk and said, "Mom, don't make too much, just enough to eat." I wasn't hungry at all in the morning. ”

"That's because you didn't get into the habit of eating breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day......" Ding Xiang said again, Shu Wan could afford to listen to calluses.

"Eat like an emperor for breakfast, like a commoner for lunch, and like a beggar for dinner. I know. Shu Wan stuck out his tongue and said playfully.

"You, you." Shu Zhihua stretched out his hand and patted Shu Wan's head.

He sat down opposite Shu Wan and said, "Xiang, you will talk less about your great truth in the future." Look at your daughter, you know everything. She doesn't listen, and if you do, it's in vain. ”

"Why did you talk about it in vain? Isn't she sitting at the table now? If I don't talk about it, I'm afraid she'll sleep until twelve o'clock at noon. Ding Xiang said.

Shu Wan looked at the interaction of his parents and said enviously: "Dad, Mom, it's been so many years, except for my business, I rarely see you red-faced." How exactly do you identify with each other? ”

"Want to hear your parents' love story?" Shu Zhihua laughed.

"Uh-huh. I wonder under what circumstances I was born. Shu Wan blinked.

"I'll talk about it later. Today I have something to do with your mother. Shu Zhihua said.

"It's not like your dad is selling it on purpose, it's true. Lunch is up to you. Your dad and I try to get back in the evening. If you can't come back, you'll have to settle dinner by yourself. Ding Xiang answered.

"It's the weekend. You two fight so hard, be careful that the people under your hands have opinions. Shu Wan teased.

"Why don't you help us? We're old, and some things are really hard to deal with," Shu Zhihua said, "If you come to help us, your mother and I can travel the world." ”

"Well, when I didn't say it. I'll go back to my nest later, so that you two don't have to worry about my diet. Go back and wait for Aunt Dong to come back, and then come to the house to stay for a while longer. Shu Wan said.

"Your dad and I have always been curious about how you manage to get three meals a day." Ding Xiang said.

"Takeaway." Shu Wan said casually.

Seeing her parents' black faces, she laughed and said proudly: "Just kidding." Actually, I can still make a few side dishes. It's not difficult to cook, it depends on whether you're in the mood or not. So many quick recipes online. I was at my grandmother's house, so I was able to cook for myself. I got up early in the morning and made breakfast for the family before going to school. ”

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before? What is your aunt doing? Ding Xiang's face darkened.

"She, she doesn't have to go to school, why do you get up so early?" Shu Wan smiled, "She married my uncle for enjoyment, not to be a nanny for her niece." ”

"Your dad gave you child support every month! That's enough money to feed that big family! Ding Xiang raised his voice.

"Oh, it's all in the past, why mention that? Think like this. If it weren't for those days, with the two of you doting on my daughter, maybe I would have really become a 'life idiot' who doesn't distinguish between grains and can only cook instant noodles until now. Shu Wan said.

She stopped her chopsticks and said seriously, "Dad, Mom, I really figured it out." Every human experience is not experienced in vain. Every experience is accompanied by pain and tears to grow. Laughing and crying, crying and laughing, in order to experience true happiness and the taste of life. There are good things in the past and bad things in the past. I used to struggle, but now I'm relieved. I also thought about going back to my hometown to see my grandmother after a while. She's old enough to take a look at it more. ”

"You used to be at your grandmother's house, was your grandmother good to you?" Ding Xiang asked cautiously.

"yes, it's all good. Isn't there something wrong with you two? Hurry up and eat away, I'll clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Don't worry about it. In the countryside, it is not a life for children to cook and stir-fry vegetables. Many children follow their parents to work in the fields at an early age. I've never been on the ground. At most, I followed Xu Jing and Shu Qifang to dig wild vegetables in the field, which was play. Shu Wan said.

This was the first time she had mentioned to her parents the names of her village friends.

"Sounds quite interesting," Shu Zhihua said with a smile, "I'll hear you talk about it another day." ”

After breakfast, Ding Xiang insisted on letting Shu Wan go upstairs to sleep, and she brushed the dishes and chopsticks before going out.

Shu Wan went back upstairs and turned off the airplane mode. The phone kept vibrating, and text messages came in, some were reminders of missed calls, some were edited text messages, all of them were the same.

He kept explaining in his text messages at first, asking why Shu Wan was not at home.

The last one is: Listen to Tong Qibai, your car is behind our car?

Shu Wan had a headache. She should have said to Qi Tong yesterday that she had gone back to her parents' house. Even if it's an ordinary friend, he shouldn't be worried. She was really, really, not angry. She just wanted to give up.

She was thinking about how to deal with her relationship with Qi Tong when Qi Tong's call came in.

"Hey." Shu Wan answered the phone.

"Where are you?" Qi Tong hoarsely spoke. He didn't sleep all night.

"I'm at my parents' house. I forgot to tell you yesterday. Shu Wan said apologetically.

"......" was silent for a while.

Shu Wan just wanted to hang up the phone, Qi Tong said: "Listen to Tong Qibai, your car followed my car last night?" ”

Shu Wan smiled and said, "Well, it seems to be - my parents' house and Miss Guo's house have the same road." But it was just a short stretch of road, and then they parted ways. ”

"You went before me, how could you drive behind us?"

"I went to the bathroom before I got out of the hotel."

Qi Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Shu Wan, I thought you were angry. ”

"What am I angry about? It's really not safe to let a girl take a taxi home, especially with such a beautiful girl. Shu Wan said with a smile.

"My mom is just a lot of things. There are hundreds of men who want to be courteous to Guo Roumei? ”

"Your mother cares about you."

"She's just fooling around. What about you, why did you suddenly remember to go back to your parents' house? Didn't you just go back and live for a while? ”

"This is not Yu Fei's marriage, and I am full of emotion. When you get married in the future, you can't go back as soon as you want. ”

"You don't want to live in our parents' parents again, do you?"

"Qi Tong, don't say such things in the future. Neither of us had anything to do after all. I don't really want a friend of the opposite sex to talk like that. ”

"Oh, I see," Qi Tong said weakly, "in this case, if you want to go back to your parents' house one day, tell me in advance." I'll go back to the house over there. In the future, if we get married, we can live in any house you want. ”

"Qi Tong, you're stressing me out like this."

"Shu Wan, you make me feel very insecure like this."

"How?"

"It makes me feel that you are far away from me."

Shu Wan wanted to say, I was far away from you, but there are people close to you. She didn't dare say that. Once you say it, it's exposed. She turned her mind, changed the topic, and said, "Tong Qibai was also at last night's banquet?" ”

"yes. His family has a good relationship with my cousin's family. Wangcheng, it's big and big, and it's small to come and go. ”

"Rich circles, I know."

"Huh?"

"Nothing. I'm going to get up. ”

"You're still under the covers?"

"It's not. I've got something to pack up and go out. ”

"Are you going back to your parents' house today?"

"Let's talk about it. I won't tell you. ”

"Shu Wan."

"It's hanging. Get back in touch. Shu Wan hung up the phone.

She lay back in bed, closed her eyes, and really, got some sleep.

By the time she woke up, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

She got up, washed, packed up and went out, her stomach gurgling with hunger. She wanted to call Yu Fei and ask her to have dinner together, but when her hand touched the mobile phone, she remembered that Yu Fei was no longer a free person from now on, but a family person.

She wants to make the next spelling software. It's not because you're alone. She has always been a lone who enjoys solitude. She felt that the more points were wasted, and the fewer points were sorry for her stomach. She hesitated for a moment, then decided to give up. She tossed her phone aside, started the car, and went in search of food.
