Chapter 111: Where Did She Go?
Behind him, in the sound of brisk steps, Shu Chi heard a call of surprise, "Shu Chi-"
Shu Chi was suffocated in his heart, forcibly held back the tears that came out of his eyes, turned around, and said reluctantly, "Mao Qing......"
The man called Mao Qing wears a black and white T-shirt, ?br/>
I haven't seen him for a few years, and Mao Qing, who is the same age in front of me, is much darker and more mature than before.
Mao Qing wiped the mud on his hand on his trouser leg, a little excited, "Shu Chi, is it really you?" What are you doing here? Come on in! ”
turned over to support the angry old woman, "Grandma, it's Shu Chi, can't you hear it?" ”
The old woman with a crutch hit the ground hard, "Mao Qing, do you think grandma is confused?!" Grandma is blind, but her ears are still good! She hasn't been in contact for so many years, why is she here this time?! Is it that the little prostitute who received a thousand knives didn't dare to come, let her come?! ”
"Alas, grandma, Shu Chi from afar has come to see you, don't talk about this-Shu Chi, come in......"
Shu Chi was confused and stunned, "What do you mean?" Mother-in-law's eyes? ”
Mao Qing helped her grandmother into the door, and at the same time gave Shu Chi a look and motioned for her to come in, "Grandma, I'll help you go back to rest first......"
"Evil, evil......" Although the old woman was angry, she obediently let her grandson go into the house.
Mao Qing came out and took the travel bag in Shu Chi's hand, went into the house and came out with a tea tray, and poured a cup of tea for Shu Chi.
Watching Shu Chi take the teacup and drink it all, Mao Qing smiled honestly and shyly, "I haven't seen you for several years, how are you?" ”
A cup of hot water went down her stomach, and her heart that was cold just now finally warmed up again, she put down the cup and smiled at Mao Qing, "Mao Qing, mother-in-law ...... just now"
Seeing Shu Chi's sad appearance, Mao Qing's face changed slightly and disappeared in an instant, looking at Shu Chi's slightly chapped lips, he poured a cup of tea for Shu Chi, "Come on, are you thirsty?" Drink plenty of water first...... Come all the way, don't you rush to leave, right? ”
Mao Qing's expression did not escape Shu Chi, who was staring at him quietly.
Mao Qing in the past, it was not like this, he would always share something with her, and his look like this was obviously hiding or avoiding something.
Shu Chi didn't bring a cup, but said softly, "Mao Qing, I haven't been back for a long time, everything has changed here, let's go out for a walk together, okay?" ”
The teapot in Mao Qing's hand was paused, then put it down, raised his eyes, and smiled, "Okay." ”
People who have been reunited for a long time walk side by side by the lotus pond, and the fragrance of flowers enters the nose with the wind, fresh and elegant.
Occasionally looking sideways at Mao Qing, who was walking slowly with him but was silent, Shu Chi was in a trance for a moment.
When they were young, they went to kindergarten together, elementary school together, and played together......
At that time, because Shu Chi only had a father and no mother, he was often ridiculed by children. This Mao Qing was her best protector at that time. And every time because of protecting her, Mao Qinglao was indiscriminately punished by the teacher because of the collective sue of the children who couldn't beat him but would sue, Shu Chi had to be uncomfortable for a long time!
Her friendship with Mao Qing may have been established at that time.
Even if she later left here with her father's job transfer and went to the city of City C, she still did not forget to cut off contact with Mao Qing, who was still struggling in her hometown.
Later, she was admitted to university, but Mao Qing was unemployed at home after the high school entrance examination because she didn't like to study.
The connection between the two people will come to an abrupt end there.
There is such a big thing in her family, she can only follow her father's instructions and fly away, where is the mood and face to contact the old people?
"Mao Qing, haven't you been working in S City before? How did you get back? ”
Shu Chi found a topic and wanted to ask Mao Qing about his current situation.
Mao Qing's eyes flashed, his Adam's apple moved, and he said lightly, "If you stay outside for a lot, that's it......"
Shu Chi was puzzled, "Mao Qing, I remember that you didn't say that in your previous letter......
At that time, she was in college, Mao Qing was in S City, and she wrote a letter almost a week, telling Shu Chi about the prosperity and beauty of the outside world, and telling Shu Chi that he would mix well......
Everything seems to be yesterday, but the Mao Qing in front of him is obviously not the original ambitious big boy, without the previous passion, and the precipitation of the years is revealed between his eyebrows.
For a moment, Shu Chi felt that this Mao Qing was a little unfamiliar.
Sensing Shu Chi's scrutiny, Mao Qing stopped his steps and faced Shu Chi, "I haven't seen you all these years, you seem to have lost ...... weight."
Such words came from someone else's mouth, Shu Chi might think it was a mockery of her, but Mao Qing was different, his words made her heart sour and inexplicable, and she had the urge to cry.
She sniffed, "Mao Qing, in the past few years, a lot has happened in my family......"
"I see......" Mao Qing said lightly.
"Huh? You got it? Shu Chi was a little embarrassed when he was stunned.
Once, when her father built a road for this village, she was still the object of Mao Qing's envy, "Shu Chi, your father is so good...... He's a great guy......"
Now, who's going to say Dad is a good guy?
Shu Chi smiled bitterly in his heart, embarrassed on his face.
Until the cold hand was held by a pair of thick and slightly calloused hands, a gentle voice of relief sounded in his ears, "Shu Chi, your father's affairs have nothing to do with you, you don't have to ...... like this"
Nothing to do with yourself?
Shu Chi was stunned.
It was the first time in so many years that she had heard such words.
Who dares to say that it has nothing to do with themselves? He is his own father, and if something like this happened to her father, does it matter if she can be a daughter?
"Look, she's the embezzler's daughter......"
Disdain, ridicule, ridicule, always with her left and right, she just hears her ears calloused, her legs tremble, and she will still be said when she hears the numbness at the end.
So, can it be okay?
Shu Chi stared at Mao Qing, his big eyes gradually filled with tears, and Mao Qing's face was blurred and blurred in the tears.
Finally, she couldn't help it, leaned on Mao Qing's shoulder, and cried lowly.
Mao Qing didn't move.
Ren Shuchi lay on his broad shoulders, and Ren Shuchi's tears wet the clothes he hadn't had time to change, just like when he was a child, Shu Chi would lie on his shoulders and cry when he was wronged.
He looked forward to Shu Chi smiling at him again after crying like he did when he was a child, so that his heart would be more comfortable.
He gently patted Shu Chi's back like a child.
Shu Chi was tired of crying.
She left Mao Qing's shoulder, sobbing.
Mao Qing looked sideways at his soaked shoulders and sleeves, and smiled bitterly.
Women can cry when they are wronged and encounter difficulties, but what about men?
To be honest, he has always wanted to find Shu Chi and ask why, where has she been all these years?
