Chapter 09: It's Back!
At this time, the sun had already disappeared into the mountainside, and Xia Zhiqiao walked in the direction of home with his baggage.
After many years, everything around me is like an old photograph from a long time ago.
The ground is paved with green bricks but is somewhat pitted, the morning glory is crawling on the white walls and tiles, the jujube tree in the courtyard of the Zhao family sticks out of its branches, the children of the Wu family are holding bamboo poles and poking the bird's nest on the tree, and the hostess of the Wang family stands in the afterglow of the setting sun and shouts to her playful son to come home for dinner.
The sound of a man scolding came from the courtyard of the Qian family......
provoked the Feng family's big yellow dog to bark non-stop......
Xia Solstice Bridge thought that she would never come back, but at this time, she walked on the familiar street, smelling the familiar smell in the air, she walked faster and faster, and finally she began to run.
She blew like a gust of wind next to a group of little girls who jumped rubber bands.
The second boy of the Chen family was holding a branch and a foreign spicy boy on it, he was going to scare the little girls who jumped the rubber band.
Hmph, what's there to jump on the band.
Why don't you play war games with them?
Unexpectedly, Sister Xiaoqiao ran past him and glared at him in the spare time, so frightened that he quickly put his hands behind his back.
The spicy man fell, and he took a step back, just in time to step on it.
The girl who jumped the rubber band happened to see it and screamed......
And these have all been left behind by the Summer Solstice Bridge.
As she drew closer to her home, she could faintly see the canopy of a cherry tree in the yard.
However, she was pulled by someone.
Li Pengcheng's mother, Du Mei, who had just come out of the Xia family, was full of smiles, and had just discussed the marriage of the two children with Lu Tong, her in-law and her old sister and colleague.
She was very satisfied with the Summer Solstice Bridge.
This child was like a doll when he was young, and he looked better when he grew up, although he was a little naughty for a while, and that was also because the school was not in class.
Didn't they also finish their junior high and high school courses on their own?
It's a pity, this kid is a little unlucky, last year the college entrance examination suddenly got sick, failed to take the exam, it happened that the machinery factory recruited, Xiaoqiao was admitted with the first place.
It's only a matter of time before it turns positive.
Although it's not kind to think so, but fortunately, I had a stomach trouble during the exam, otherwise the future daughter-in-law would have flown away.
Nowadays, marriage does not advocate bride price and big work, but she will also take out everything she can take.
Now it is popular to get married, three turns and one ring, thirty-two legs.
Three turns and one ring are also called four major pieces, bicycles, watches, and sewing machines are three turns, and that sound is a tape recorder.
Thirty-two legs refer to large wardrobes, chests of drawers, dressers, beds, sofas, etc......
Now that the furniture is ready, the four major pieces are also short of tape recorders, but they have been entrusted to buy them in the south.
She can't let the Xia family find fault with it.
Fortunately, the relationship between the Xia family and their Li family has always been good, so the marriage went very smoothly.
She happily grabbed the Xia Solstice Bridge, "Xiaoqiao, you ......"
Before I could say the three words, I was so frightened that I suffocated back.
Xia Zhiqiao's eyes were cold and indifferent, looking at her as if he was looking at a stranger.
She found what Xia Zhiqiao was holding in her arms again.
I heard Lu Tong say that Xiaoqiao got up early this morning and queued up to buy roast cakes, as well as beef sauce and apples, among which the apples were exchanged for meat tickets......
They were all brought to her son, and after she listened to it, her mouth was polite, but her heart was beautiful.
But now it's like this—no.
"Xiaoqiao, what's wrong with you?" Du Mei was a little flustered and asked hurriedly.
Xia Solstice Bridge glanced at Du Mei.
It is undeniable that Du Mei looked at her with genuine concern at this time.
In her previous life, before that incident, Du Mei really liked herself, and said that she would treat herself like a daughter after getting married, which she believed.
However, after the accident, it is also the fastest to turn around.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Li Pengcheng is her own son.
She naturally focuses on her son in everything.
Xia Zhiqiao quietly withdrew his hand, what happened in the paper mill today, you can't say it directly, you have to change the way, Du Mei will believe it.
The little drama spirit possessed her body again, she hid the coldness in her eyes, her voice was choked, and her expression was extremely aggrieved, "...... Aunt ......"
She didn't even mention Li Pengcheng's three words, she just wanted to say the word aunt again and again, and then tears rolled in her eyes, and after a few breaths, Xia Zhiqiao turned around and continued to run in the direction of home.
Du Mei was sweating profusely, and at this moment, all kinds of bad thoughts came out.
He shouted after him, "Xiaoqiao, have you seen your Brother Pengcheng?" ”
Xia Zhiqiao paused, shook his head, seemed to remember something, and his attitude suddenly became cold, "Auntie, don't ask......"
This time, the Xia Solstice Bridge, which turned around, never stopped.
Du Mei stood in place, his mind in a mess.
On weekdays, the Xia Solstice Bridge is delicate and soft, and she is so cold and alienated, which makes Du Mei a little unresponsive.
After reacting, Xia Zhiqiao had already turned the alley and arrived in front of the gate of Xia's house.
A circle of white walls and tiles enclose a small courtyard, Gesang flowers are planted under the root of the wall, the door is open to the south, the left and right are the wings, and the main house is facing the gate, at this time, the mottled big iron door is open, and a familiar figure is taking the clothes on the drying rack.
It is said that the hometown is timid.
Xia Zhiqiao didn't feel this way, the key was that the sorrow was broken by a little girl standing on the roof.
Sister Xia Qingxuan waved her hand and shouted happily, "Sister, sister, you're back." ”
For twelve-year-old Xia Qingxuan, her sister just went out in the morning and came back at night, although she was very happy, but she couldn't compete with the feather shuttlecock that fell on the roof.
After she finished calling her sister, she bent over and reached out to pick up the shuttlecock that she and her neighbor An An kicked onto the roof.
Her inseparable little friend An An tilted her head.
There was a light of adoration in his eyes.
Without waiting for Xia Zhiqiao to say anything, Lu Tong in the courtyard heard some noisy sounds, first glanced at his daughter Xiaoqiao standing at the door, and then quickly swept his eyes to the little daughter standing on the roof of the wing room, frowning with a headache, and did not dare to scold loudly, for fear that he would be scared and roll down.
She could only stand in the courtyard and look up at Xia Qingxuan who was crawling down.
The atmosphere did not dare to breathe.
But in the next second, remembering something, Lu Tong suddenly turned her head again, yes, it's not an illusion, her daughter Xia Zhiqiao is crying......
Lu Tong suddenly felt a buzz in his head.
She also saw the burden that Xiaoqiao was holding in his arms.
It seems that the contents were not handed over to Li Pengcheng, because they were about the same size as when he left in the morning.
Didn't you see Li Pengcheng?
But—
Even if he didn't see anyone, the child wouldn't cry!
