Volume 5: The Rainy Season (6)

The night breeze that belonged to summer seemed to transform into the soft and warm light of early autumn, gently wandering in this world.

Yes, because I don't know when, the wind has already lightened.

This turned into a gentle wind that blew away the dark clouds, blowing in through the window and brushing Chen Zhao's face that was extremely clear in the exposed moonlight.

He desperately wiped the tears from his face. But for fear that there would still be water stains on his hands, Chen Zhao quietly took back his rough and calloused hands that he wanted to touch his daughter's face because he liked to.

"Xiaole, do you like dad or mom?" Chen Zhao suddenly asked.

Chen Zhao wondered what he would ask such a question with a clear result.

I have only gotten along with my daughter in recent months, but Xia Qing's love for her daughter has been so much...

Which is more important?

Of course, maybe he's just scared... I'm afraid that if Xia Qing doesn't forgive herself, she will eventually divorce and take Xiaole away...

He tried to imagine that without Xia Qing and his daughter, Chen Zhao felt that his world would collapse and destroy in an instant.

"Mom and Dad love it."

The daughter's well-behaved answer made Chen Zhao's eyes flash a little complicated, and he could only smile bitterly, "Really good." Then sleep well, Daddy is coming home. ”

"Goodbye Dad!"

...

It was 8:40 p.m.

The breeze is cool, and it's a rare good night in this summer. But Chen Zhao didn't calm down, he hesitated at the door of his house for nearly 10 minutes, and finally leaned against the wall and silently started.

"Chen Zhao?"

Suddenly, Zhang Mei's voice from the side startled Chen Zhao, he turned his head and saw Zhang Mei walking over with a pair of slippers, a little stunned.

"Sister Zhang... You are..."

"Yesterday my relatives gave me a pair of slippers, and the workmanship is very good. I just brought it back and found that it was a little smaller, and I couldn't wear it. No, the size may be suitable for your wife, so I'll try it... Otherwise, it would be a waste to keep it. ”

Zhang Mei raised the pair of cyan female slippers in her hand and gestured, then frowned and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

“...”

Chen Zhao lowered his head in embarrassment, and was silent for a few seconds before he said slowly, "I had a little conflict with Xia Qing and didn't dare to go in." ”

"Contradictions? Can Xia Qing have a conflict with you? Zhang Mei was dumbfounded, and immediately looked curious, "What did you do wrong?" ”

Xia Qing is a good woman.

Almost everyone who has been in contact with and knows her knows her as a person. Therefore, when it is learned that there is a contradiction, no one will ever shift the source of the error to Xia Qing. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this choice.

And the reason, how do you want Chen Zhao to answer? He could only keep his head down and remain silent.

"Chen Zhao, Xia Qing is a good girl. She is sincere to you, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, if you do something sorry for her, you will not be able to atone for your sins even if you are struck by lightning. ”

Zhang Mei rolled her eyes, said, sighed lightly, threw the slippers on Chen Zhao, and continued, "Go and admit your mistake, where will she not forgive you?" ”

Hurriedly took the slippers, Chen Zhao bit his lip and said, "I admit that I made a mistake." ”

"Mistaken?" Zhang Mei said coldly: "How do you recognize it?" What does it look like to know it's wrong on the surface? No matter how sincere you are, it's better to say something practical. ”

"Actually?"

Chen Zhao was stunned, and hurriedly planned to ask Zhang Mei, after all, Zhang Mei is old and experienced, maybe she can help him.

"I'm not your person, and I still have to take care of your family's affairs and help you think? Go, go, I'm busy. Zhang Mei shook her hands with a cold face, turned around and left.

It wasn't until she left the corridor on the second floor and went to the shadow of the corner that Zhang Mei looked at Chen Zhao who was still standing in place blankly with a little helpless eyes.

There are some things that others can't help with...

.....

Holding the exquisitely made cyan slippers in his hand, Chen Zhaodun lost his mind at the door for a while.

But I don't know what he thinks, and finally, he finally took out the key in his hand and inserted it into the door, and opened the door.

Xia Qing was sitting on the bed watching the TV series, when he saw the door open, and when Chen Zhao came back, he turned his attention to him.

"That's... Xia Qing, I bought you a pair of slippers. ”

Chen Zhao found that during the time he left, Xia Qing seemed to calm down like him. I don't have the expression of disappointment and disappointment that I had before... This surprised him slightly.

"The money is all with me, you didn't even bring the fare when you went out, where can you buy it?" Xia Qing asked softly.

“...”

Although the lie was discovered, but Xia Qing's tone, Chen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and gritted his teeth, he was ready to apologize.

He figured it out.

The so-called practical action in Zhang Mei's words is to admit mistakes.

Yes, although this is not a diary written by myself, since I have come to this body, no matter what happened in the past, as long as it was done by my body, I should bear everything...

There is nothing wronged, and there can be no grievances... Isn't it yourself who took out the diary and created the current situation?

"Chen Zhao..."

But Chen Zhao's carefully prepared confession was interrupted by Xia Qing.

"Let's forget about the diary. Since you tear it up and throw it in the trash, it means that you have taken it as a thing of the past... I know, you're working hard for this family... It's me who is wrong, and I'm a little impulsive. ”

"Ah, no... No, it's me. I'm here to confess my mistake to you... I met Sister Zhang outside the door just now, she educated me, and I figured it out. I shouldn't have made a mistake in the first place... I promise you, really, that this will never happen again! ”

Seeing that Xia Qing admitted his mistake first, Chen Zhao was directly stunned, and hurriedly said the words in a hurry.

This hurried Chen Zhao made Xia Qing laugh, and that gentle smile was the usual Xia Qing in his memory...

"Well, you promise, there won't be any more..."

Xia Qing said this with a smile. But those eyes seemed to have become a little calm, but the deep eyes made Chen Zhao's smile stiffen.

He had a feeling that it was like a full stop at the end of some sentence...

Let him have a kind of, if re-offended... Xia Qing will never, never forgive himself again.

Yes, Chen Zhao can't help but have such a question...

At the beginning, what happened to make Xia Qing like this.

In fact, he knew that he could guide everything in his diary as long as he wanted to.

But Chen Zhao didn't want to turn it over anymore, and he didn't want to touch it anymore because it didn't belong to him. He had a vague premonition that if he opened the drawer again, maybe the family would really be messed up...

He decided that he would never open the drawer again

...

Everything is calm again.

The dim lamp turned on a lot at some point. The two sat on the bed together and watched the TV series that Xia Qing liked very much.

"The shoes were given by Sister Zhang, right?" Xia Qing asked suddenly.

"Hmm.." Chen Zhao smiled and nodded.

"I knew it. Well, by the way, I remember when you came back in the evening, you said you got a job, can you tell me what it is? Xia Qing looked at Chen Zhao.

At the mention of this, Chen Zhao said proudly, "Well, good job." It's to help people look at the store, not far from home, just by the big shopping mall not far away. Sell groceries, plus barbecue, hamburger juice and the like... A month is..."

Chen Zhao was just about to say his monthly salary, but he suddenly remembered that he would pay Yang Xiaoru 3,000 a month, and his face changed slightly.

But he didn't dare to expose it to Xia Qing, so he smiled and said, "3800." It's a little less, but I usually have time to accompany Xiaole. ”

"It's good to have time. Plus 1500 part-time jobs, and we have enough to live. Xia Qing didn't notice Chen Zhao's complicated eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then Yang Xiaoru, what are you going to do?" It's just that Xia Qing's question made Chen Zhao feel a little troublesome.

"I said something about Zhang Jun, I haven't seen you for a long time, just chatting." He still lied.

"Is it..."

Yes.

In Xia Qing's eyes, the living expenses are enough.

But Chen Zhao didn't say anything about repaying 3,000 a month. He didn't want to bother Xia Qing.

3000...

However, Chen Zhao didn't care too much, he gave himself some strength in his heart.

Actually, it's nothing. 3000, I have deliberately said 1000 yuan less from work, and when the time comes, I will work part-time, and I will barely pay it back that month, right?
