Chapter 196: Conscience
Xinlan came out of the house, her eyes blurred with tears. Her mother's words were like a key that opened the valve of her tears, making her unable to do it herself. It was lunchtime, and people passed by from time to time. The shyness forced her to go around the corner, avoiding the strange eyes of the people and wiping away the tears from her eyes. But how could her thoughts recover all at once, in desperation, she had to tilt her head and close her eyes, trying her best to calm down. She knew that her mother was doing it for her own good, but she was even more worried about the consequences of making this request. She prayed in her heart, praying that her father would stop her mother, not mention the idea to her siblings again, and not to make the relationship stiff.
After a long time, Xinlan's clenched heart was finally released. After relieving himself, he thought of his plan when he came, so he went to buy a cake and took the car back to see Mrs. Sun on the way.
Along the way, she was thinking about some things on her mind, and inadvertently arrived at the street corner of Sun Wei's house, and saw a gasoline tricycle parked in front of Sun Wei's house. Xinlan thought that she was dazzled, but she didn't care, and when she came to Sun Wei's house and entered the courtyard, she suddenly saw two well-dressed middle-aged people, a man and a woman, standing in the courtyard, slapping the dust that was not on their bodies. I saw that the man was of medium height and thin body; The white face was angular, and the short hair was combed back with a north head; Wearing a black half-cut tweed jacket and a pair of flat leather shoes, he was shrewd. The female is slightly lower than the male, with a slender figure, a beautiful face under the mushroom-shaped haircut head, fair skin, a pair of semi-high-heeled leather shoes on her feet, and a black half-cut tweed coat on her body, which is delicate and neat.
Xinlan was startled, thinking that she had gone to the wrong door in a daze, and hurriedly retreated. But when I came back to my senses, I found that I hadn't entered the wrong yard, so I stabilized my mind. And at this time, the two people in front of them also saw Xinlan.
"Are you...... Who to look for? The man asked first with a questioning face.
"I'll come and see the old lady!"
When the woman heard this, she hurriedly turned her head to the house and said, "Mom! Come out, someone will come and see you! ”
When the words fell, Mrs. Sun came out with a happy face, and when she heard that, she looked up and saw that it was Xinlan, so she hurriedly walked forward to take Xinlan's hand, turned her head and said to the middle-aged man: "Come, son, let me introduce you to the two of you, this is Xinlan, your sister, my goddaughter, and my savior." After speaking, he turned his head and pointed to the middle-aged man and woman and said to Xinlan: "Girl, this is Sun Wei's father Xijun and mother Fang Hui, who have just returned from the south for less than two minutes." ”
When Xinlan heard this, she noticed the suitcase and backpack on the ground, and when she thought of the car just now, she realized that she hadn't been dazzled just now. So he said, "It turns out that the car just now was for the two of you!" That's hard work! Pack up and rest for a while, it's been such a long run! ”
"It's okay, big sister! Sit in your room! Sun Wei's parents scrambled to say
"Huh! Don't think about me. I also passed by the cake shop on my way back, and I thought it was a good cake, so I bought some for the old lady to taste! I'm going to get back to work! You two come back from running so far, talk to the old lady for a while, I won't bother! Xinlan said, handed the cake to the old lady, and turned around to go out.
The old lady and the Xijun couple were busy trying to let Xinlan stay and leave, but Xinlan was strange in her heart, how could she be embarrassed to stay any longer! So he fled out of the gate of Sun's house, not knowing that the old lady Sun behind him had been sent out of the house.
Watching Xinlan leave, Mrs. Sun turned around and beckoned her son and daughter-in-law to return to the courtyard. Both of them were strange about the relationship between the old lady and Xinlan, and when they walked back, Xijun said, "Mom! What was going on just now? Why are you so close to my sister? ”
"Huh! It's a long story, and I can't say it clearly! Let's talk about you two first! Why are you coming back at this time? Haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll do it for both of you first!? ”
"Mom, don't do it, Fang Hui and I feel like we've missed the meal, so we'll eat it first when we get out of the car."
"Well, then go back to the house to warm up for a while, and then talk about it when you're hungry." After speaking, the old lady led the way, and the three of them walked as they spoke, and when they arrived in the courtyard, they took the suitcase and backpack into the house. When she entered the house, the family suddenly became lively, Fang Hui remembered the southern specialty food she brought to the old lady, so she happily opened the suitcase and took it out, while introducing it to the old lady. The Western Army went to take out the cups of the two from their backpacks, and then put them together with the old lady's cups, and they were all filled with tea. After the three of them sat down around the stove, the old lady looked at the child in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart and asked, "Xijun, this year is hard!" ”
"Hard? What year isn't hard?! But it's hard work, but it's also fun! Xijun said with a smile.
"Happy after hard work?! Mom, I'm afraid you'll say it's hard! You talk about Fang Hui, you two don't do a good job, you are both at this age, you still have to go to the trouble and suffer this hardship, I really don't know what you thought at the beginning! ”
"It's okay! Mother! With such a character of the child, if it weren't for the presence of this special zone at this good time, which gave him the opportunity to display his talents, he would not have been in the unit for the rest of his life, and maybe the result would have been worse. Fang Hui said.
"If you want to say it, but this will make you feel wronged!"
"Hey, hey! Mom, you don't know how much the Southern Special Economic Zone has changed in recent years, when we went there it was just a small fishing village, and now there are so many high-rise buildings that we can't compare here. Fang Hui said with a smile.
"I can't say whether it's right or wrong for you to take this step, I feel that it's a pity to have no job, just like this Xinlan who just introduced to the two of you, she originally moved from the city to the countryside with her family, and now she has moved back from the countryside, it's really hard work!"
"Didn't you move back?" Xijun asked.
"It's only been a few days since the formalities were completed, and no one has come back, the house given by the original unit is too small, and she doesn't know what to do!"
"Then this eldest sister is not simple, it's not a joke to want to do commercial grain now, it's very difficult!" West Military Road.
"Otherwise, she will be considered guilty. She first worked in a restaurant when she came here, and then Sun Wei helped her open a small shop, so she opened her own store and went to work in the restaurant in the morning. I ate the leftover meals of others in the restaurant, and the money saved was given as gifts. But it's not bad, it's finally done! ”
"Really? If this is the case, the eldest sister really has a lot of energy, just with this, she can do anything. But, Mom, how did you know her? The relationship has developed to this point?! Fang Hui couldn't help but be curious when she heard the old lady say that.
"You just came back, aren't you a little tired, and I'll tell you two when you get better!"
"Tired! The sleeper car I sat in kept sleeping all the way, where was there any sleepiness! Just say it, Mom! The Western Army is also anxious to know. Fang Hui said.
"If that's the case, I'll tell you about it, but it's a long story, I remember it was in March or April......" The old lady saw that the children were anxious to listen, so she began to reminisce about it.
Xinlan left Mrs. Sun's house and walked back, on the way, thinking about the scene just now, Xinlan somehow suddenly felt a feeling of nowhere to go, she couldn't say why, she only felt that it might be that not talking to the old lady affected her mood. But when I think about it again, I think it's because my family hasn't moved here. If you have one of the two today, with an old lady and family by your side, how can you still feel this way? No way, it seems that this lacks the warmth of the family, which is awkward.
When Xinlan thought of Mrs. Sun, she naturally thought of Sun Wei's parents. From things to things, I naturally think of Li Li, now that these two people are back, what kind of attitude will they have towards Li Li? Shouldn't he make the same mistake as he did with Lu Dong and Liu Qin? It's not impossible! I want to ...... Xinlan didn't dare to think about it.
Back at the store, the afternoon movie has already begun. Business didn't catch up, and there was only time left. This is over, and in the next time, because there is no business to disturb, Sun Wei and Li Li's affairs are entangled in Xinlan's heart, which makes her haggard and unable to extricate herself. She really wanted to go to Li Li, wanted to give Li Li a letter in advance, so that she could be prepared, and even wanted to wait for Sun Wei to get off work, and then confirm Sun Wei's attitude towards Li Li, but she felt that she was doing it too much. She couldn't lift her heart, she was too tired! It's so tiring! After running all day, I am not tired of any gain, and my mental tiredness is more tiring than my physical tiredness!
Coming, Xinlan didn't wait for Sun Wei to get off work, her sour eyes kept blinking, she gently rubbed it twice, and tears filled her eyes, accompanied by tears in her eyes, yawning for days, making her feel as if her body had reached its limit. She felt that she was no longer able to hold on, so she did not eat or go to bed.
Mrs. Sun told the Xijun couple about her relationship with Xinlan, and unconsciously started from her own wrestling, to Sun Wei helping Xinlan open a store, Sun Wei fought for the first time, how Xinlan slapped herself in the hospital, and how to pay people, and unconsciously talked about Li Li, and the more the Xijun listened, the more they wanted to listen, and they were happy to interject from time to time to ask about things of interest, and when they were angry, they were angry with Sun Wei's ignorance. In this way, the mother drank tea and chatted, forgetting her tiredness and time, until Sun Wei interrupted the topic when she entered the house after work, and then remembered that it was time to cook.
Sun Wei never dreamed that his parents would return to Xijing at this time, according to the practice of previous years, his parents came back only a few days after the Spring Festival, and today is still two months away from the Spring Festival, and it is still early.
"Dad! Mother! When are you two coming back?! Sun Wei couldn't hide his surprise.
"If you don't come back, your family won't let you lose it all!" The Western Army is not angry and arrogant.
"The child just came back, the money has been compensated, and the matter has passed, so don't mention it again!" Fang Hui saw her son who she hadn't seen for nearly a year coming back, not to mention how happy she was, so she naturally protected him.
"Protect him! It's not small, seeing that people who should get married, they don't think about the consequences when they do things! Although Xijun was also happy to see Sun Wei, he was naturally still angry when he thought of what his mother said.
"Don't say it, let him go to the restaurant with his lunch box and buy some food! I'm going to make soup and cook. Straighten out your beds first! The old lady spoke, got up, and went to the kitchen.
When Fang Hui heard that she was busy and ready to do what her mother ordered, before leaving to see that Sun Wei hadn't moved, she gave Sun Wei a look and said, "Why don't you go quickly?!" ”
Sun Wei knew his mother's intentions, and smiled at his mother, but he didn't move, but pretended to roast his hands on the stove, and said to his father Xijun: "Dad, you just came back, and I don't have to go to work at night, so it's a good opportunity to drink." What do you want to drink? I'll buy it for you. ”
"I don't want to drink anything! You're in a good mood like this, and I'm still in the mood to drink!? ”
"Hey, Dad, oh- got it!" Sun Wei smiled, deliberately finished speaking in a local tone, turned around and left, leaving his father alone to laugh here is neither angry nor angry.
Soon, the wine and food were bought, and when Sun Wei opened the table against the stove and the food was served, the family sat down around the table. It's been a long time since I've eaten food from my hometown, let alone wine from my hometown! Fang Hui didn't eat much in order to maintain her body shape, but Xijun ate with relish. Because Sun Wei kept pouring wine for him, he was a little drunk after a while. The old lady said a little too much in the afternoon, and after being busy for a while, she naturally felt a little tired and didn't want to say more. But Fang Hui, as a woman, especially a mother, couldn't hold back in her heart. She wanted to know Sun Wei's attitude towards Li Li very much, but she wanted to ask halfway, but she couldn't bother because her husband and son were drunk. At this moment, I saw that there were a little too many Xijun, so I wanted to take this opportunity, first, I wanted him to drink less, and secondly, I also wanted to solve the doubts in my heart, so I asked Sun Weidao: "Son, your grandmother praised you in the afternoon, and my mother wants to know your attitude towards Li Li here?" ”
"Generally speaking, there is an impression, that is, it is rude and willful!" Sun Wei obviously drank a lot.
Hearing him say this, Fang Hui immediately understood the meaning of Sun Wei's words in her heart, she knew in her heart that Sun Wei was saying the opposite, and the girl who could leave such a deep impression in Sun Wei's heart must be the girl Sun Wei likes. But the old lady on the side didn't think so, and when she heard Sun Wei say this, she took over the conversation and said hurriedly: "You have to touch your conscience before saying this!" Some people still owe money to others! ”
"See! Mother. That's where I stand in my home. Ever since Li Li and Aunt Xinlan met Grandma, I've had enough of that mental torture! Sun Wei said and drank the wine on the table, pretending to be in pain with the strength of the wine.
"I'm embarrassed to say, I really have no conscience! Who did you Aunt Xinlan suffer for that slap in the hospital! The old lady was indignant and chose the words that embarrassed Sun Wei.
Sun Wei couldn't take it. Anything else can be reversed, but he can't, this slap that Aunt Xinlan received was for him Sun Wei. He has always engraved this matter deeply in his heart, often thinks about it, and always wants to repay it, but he has not had the opportunity or is not the time.
Unexpectedly, his silence made Fang Hui instantly understand the weight of Xinlan, the eldest sister who only had a one-sided relationship, in this family, she was grateful in her heart, but at this time, she didn't want Sun Wei to be too embarrassed, so she continued the topic just now and said to Sun Wei: "You don't want to look down on Li Li, your mother and I are going to take her away, our company is short of manpower!" ”
"Huh! Mom, just talk about me, how are you and my dad doing in the south this year? If it's not good, Li Li won't necessarily go! Sun Wei just came to his senses, listened to his mother, and refused for Li Li.
"That's not necessarily, this time my father and I will come back......" Fang Hui was about to continue, but the Western Army stopped the conversation and said: "Fang Hui, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Let our mother sleep well today, it's a tired day, you can help our mother to rest in the house first. I drank too much. As he spoke, he said to Sun Wei: "You go to bed later, and help your mother clean up this in a while!" ”
Hearing what Xijun said, Fang Hui naturally understood what he meant, and said in her heart, she could only say it tomorrow, otherwise it would be difficult for the old lady and Sun Wei to get a good night's sleep tonight. She thought so, so she did as the Western Army ordered, and Sun Wei was naturally not idle.
