Chapter 43: Dandelions

[Afraid: His father is insane and sick! ] 】

Within a few minutes, Duan Yiqiao and Ai Shangni arrived at the Spring Bookstore near Licheng No. 9 Middle School. The bookstore is less than 200 meters from the entrance of the middle school, at the very edge of a row of storefronts, but the store area is the largest.

There were many students reading books in the store, but they only saw the clerk Ah Sheng at the counter, and there was no Duan Guangping.

"Yiqiao, your dad seems to be coming home." Ah Sheng shouted as soon as he saw Duan Yiqiao.

"What's going on?"

Ah Sheng walked out of the counter, "I don't know, he read it in the store for a long time, saying that the remittance slip was missing, I asked him, and he ignored me." Later, when I walked out of the store, I saw that something was wrong with him and asked him where he was going, and he said that he would not let me follow him if he wanted to go home. Yiqiao, you better go home and have a look. ”

"I see."

Duan Yiqiao wanted to let Ai Shangni stay in the Spring Bookstore and go home by herself, but she insisted on going home with him.

"Maybe I can help?"

He thought it wouldn't be a big deal, and she thought she should be able to help.

But in fact, both were wrong.

His family's rented house is not far from the Spring Bookstore, just a few minutes' walk away. On the 10th floor of an ordinary and old community, a commercial house of less than 100 square meters.

When Duan Yiqiao opened the door and entered the house, Ai Shangni was dumbfounded. And he was only faintly startled, his expression sank, and he seemed helpless.

I saw that the floor of the living room was full of debris, and several storage boxes were left aside empty.

And Duan Guangping was half-kneeling on the ground, fiddling with those miscellaneous items with both hands, and reading the words 'remittance form' in his mouth, with a somewhat anxious tone.

Duan Yiqiao quickly walked to his side, also knelt down, grabbed his arm, worried but still in a gentle tone, "Dad, what are you looking for?" ”

Duan Guangping raised his head, "I..." He paused for a moment, as if thinking, and after seven or eight seconds, he continued: "I was looking for the remittance slip that remitted the money to your Uncle Zhang, and he kept saying that I owed him money, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't ....."

Speaking of the back, Duan Guangping's tone was much faster.

He kept saying 'I don't have it' and was about to continue looking, Duan Yiqiao held his hands again, "Dad, don't look for it." We have already remitted the payment to Uncle Zhang, he remembered wrongly, I will explain it to him. ”

"No, if I don't find the remittance slip, your Uncle Zhang will keep looking for me, I have to find the remittance slip to show him, and he will believe it."

Suddenly, Duan Guangping saw Ai Shangni standing at the door, the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.

When Duan Guangping raised his head just now, although he was a little away, Ai Shangni still saw the beads of sweat on his forehead. It's early winter, how can there be so many beads of sweat without exercise.

Moreover, Duan Guangping's eyes were blank, his eyes were a little dull, his face was anxious, his mouth was full of broken thoughts, and the state of the whole person didn't seem to be quite right.

Therefore, she kept standing at the door and did not dare to approach.

Duan Guangping stood up suddenly, Duan Yiqiao reacted very quickly and grabbed him, "Dad~"

He pulled away forcefully and walked straight to Ai Shangni, who had a bad premonition, and looked at him in a daze.

The next second, he stretched out his hands and grabbed her shoulders, staring at her with a little horror.

Then, he said, "Sally, did you hide that remittance slip?" ”

Ai Shangni looked at Duan Yiqiao with a frightened expression, he hurriedly appeased Duan Guangping first and let go of his hands, but Duan Guangping, who couldn't tell the situation, not only did not let go, but grabbed it tighter and tighter.

He exerted a lot of force, Ai Shangni instantly felt pain, and after screaming in pain, his face was uncomfortable, "Uncle, you are mistaken, I am not Sally, my name is Ai..."

"You are, don't try to lie to me." Duan Guangping's words were very hard.

Duan Yiqiao then persuaded Duan Guangping, "Dad, she's really not Sally, you let go first." ”

Duan Guangping completely ignored him, still stared at Ai Shangni, and said angrily: "Sally, did you deliberately hide the remittance slip, take it out and give it to me, hurry up and get it." ”

"Uncle, you really recognized the wrong person, I'm not..."

"Hurry up and take it out, hurry up~" He shook Ai Shangni vigorously.

Duan Yiqiao saw that Duan Guangping had lost his mind, and when he forcibly pulled him away, he finally pushed Ai Shangni hard.

She lost her balance and took a few steps back, accidentally hitting the wall, hurting her arm. Thankfully, she lowered her head so she didn't knock it.

Seeing that Duan Guangping was about to step forward again, Duan Yiqiao hurriedly hugged him.

"You leave my house first, and I'll look for you later."

"Don't go~ Sally, hurry up and give me a remittance slip....." Duan Guangping was still shouting over there.

The panicked Ai Shangni nodded tremblingly at Duan Yiqiao, stepped back towards the door, opened the door and left.

"Sally, you come back for me and get me the money transfer slip." Duan Guangping still howled.

Duan Yiqiao didn't dare to let go of him, and kept comforting: "Dad, I just saw a remittance slip over there, let's go look for it, okay?" ”

Duan Guangping reacted for a long time, "Okay, look for it, hurry up and look for it, otherwise your Uncle Zhang will look for me again." ”

Duan Yiqiao took him to the living room, pretended to accompany him for a while, and then secretly went to get the medicine.

"Dad, you haven't taken the medicine in the morning, come, take the medicine first, and we'll continue to look for it."

Duan Guangping had been mentally injured and had been stabilized a lot after treatment, but occasionally he would get sick and have a mental disorder.

Even, even the behavior has returned to the original bankruptcy period, and the whole person has become abnormal.

Duan Guangping, whose pupils were dilated, pushed him away and said angrily: "I have eaten it, and your mother gave it to me." ”

"Mom took two less, she told me just now, I just came." Duan Yiqiao continued to coax.

Suddenly, Duan Guangping's eyes softened a lot, and his tone changed, with a somewhat disgusted tone, "Your mother has always been careful, how could she forget it this time." As he spoke, he took the pills and boiling water in Duan Yiqiao's hand.

All of a sudden, Duan Guangping took the medicine, and then continued to look for the remittance slip.

Duan Yiqiao was helpless and thought of a way. After a few minutes, he took out his mobile phone WeChat and showed it to Duan Guangping.

"Dad, look, I just confirmed with Uncle Zhang again, and he said that the remittance slip has been received."

Duan Guangping didn't believe it, took the mobile phone, squinted left and right and looked at it for a long time. Duan Yiqiao was really afraid that he wouldn't believe it, but fortunately, he slowly believed it.

When he was about to clean up the messy things that he had turned over, Duan Yiqiao persuaded him to go into the room and lie down for a while, and he stubbornly insisted on finishing the cleanup.

Duan Yiqiao had no choice but to move out of Shen Ruyun again, "Mom is already cooking, she asked you to lie down for a while, and we will go back to the store to eat later." ”

"Eat, okay, eat." With that, he walked to the room.

Duan Yiqiao was worried that he didn't lie down, and after watching him enter the room, he walked to the door and glanced at it secretly, confirming that he was obediently lying down before returning to the living room.

Looking at the debris on the ground, Duan Yiqiao sighed, helpless. He leaned down to clean up, feeling very sad, and feeling sorry for his father's good and bad spirits since he went bankrupt.

Taking advantage of this time, he made a phone call to Ai Shangni.

"Yiqiao~" I could still hear from her voice that she still had some fears.

"Are you on the bus?"

"Yes, I'm on the bus back to school. Is your dad okay? ”

He pushed a packed storage box to the side and replied, "It's okay, comfort him to lie down in bed for a while." You..... Intimidated, right? ”

"Nope."

"Did it hurt when you just bumped into it?"

She gently pressed the arm she had hit, it still hurt a little, she didn't want him to worry about herself, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's okay." ”

"I'm sorry to scare you, and I can't eat with you."

Ai Shangni beckoned as if he was an interlocutor, "It's okay, I'll be back at school soon, and I'll go to the cafeteria for lunch with my roommates later." Leave me alone, just take good care of your dad. ”

"I will, then be careful yourself."

"Okay, bye~"

"Bye-bye~"

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Duan Yiqiao, who had almost cleaned up the living room, called Duan Guangping up and took him back to Yi Smile Coffee Shop.

Shen Ruyun had already cooked lunch, and Duan Chuntong went to the dance agency to practice dancing in the morning and came back.

"Dad, it's time to eat."

She noticed that Duan Guangping's eyes looked blank and a little stunned, and then looked at Duan Yiqiao's expression, she knew that Duan Guangping was sick again.

But she didn't ask, and beckoned Duan Guangping to dinner as usual.

The family, including the clerk in the store, all knew about Duan Guangping's illness, which was almost uncontrollable at the time of the illness, but after being comforted, his emotions would slowly settle down. But to fully recover, you need at least one night of good sleep.

During the meal, everyone didn't say a word, only talked about some daily or happy things, and Duan Guangping, who slowly returned to normal, also talked to everyone occasionally.

Ai Shangni, Chen Sijie and others, who returned to school, went to the third canteen for lunch, looking absent-minded.

"What are you doing with chopsticks stirring up the clear soup?" They asked her, and she realized that she had put her chopsticks into the soup bowl.

"I ....." she stopped talking, not knowing whether to say what had just happened.

Today, the sun is quite strong outside, and there is no wind. After lunch, they went to the stadium for a walk to bask in the sun, and they could also digest their food.

"Did you encounter something in the morning?" Situ Bingling asked her.

She still hesitated whether to say it or not, thinking that maybe they knew it too, but if she didn't know, it wouldn't seem good if she told it.

Fu Yuke remembered that in their WeChat group, Shangguan Chen said that he met her and Duan Yiqiao at Yismile Coffee Shop, and asked, "Is it related to Yiqiao?" ”

Ai Shangni didn't lie, nodded silently, and there was still some worry in his eyes.

"If it's related to Yiqiao, I think you can tell us about it, maybe we can help you with something?"

The four of them walked up to the auditorium and sat down side by side in a place where the sun was shining.

"I saw Yiqiao's father ....." Halfway through speaking, Ai Shangni got stuck again.
