Volume 6: The City of the Heart (9)

The soft sunset spilled into the balcony tiles.

The golden light passes through the steel wire mesh at the small opening of the glass door, mottled and dotted along the partition wall, which is quite in line with the ending of the movie, of course, a happy ending.

Chen Zhao liked the view very much, and if he could, he would like to sit down and enjoy it. But this is not unwritten, but more like a tragic story that has come to an end and is about to unfold... This feeling ruined all his moods.

I don't know what tone or words to face it. The invisible pressure gradually dispelled his anger, he was very panicked and afraid, and finally his tone eased down, "Yang Xiaoru, you let me go, can't you?" ”

But as soon as these words were spoken, Chen Zhao found that Yang Xiaoru's smiling eyes instantly turned into indifferent contempt.

"A liar is never willing to admit his mistakes," she said. If they admit their mistakes, they will not lie. But isn't it painful to be afraid of the days when the lie will be exposed? ”

After speaking, she picked up the water cup that was going to be given to Chen Zhao, took a sip, and then disagreed, sneering, "Okay, you go, it doesn't matter if you come tomorrow or not." ”

Chen Zhao froze in place for a few seconds, he didn't feel as happy as being amnestied, he was a little depressed, and he sighed, "These days, I feel like you've completely changed." ”

Yang Xiaoru's face instantly became gloomy, as if to say, 'What do you know about me?' After staring at each other for two seconds, she said, "Chen Zhao, people are the most difficult to change. Why don't I want to be a woman who can fit into this family? But for more than ten years, have you ever seen me succeed..."

....

Even though it was close to 6 o'clock, the sky was still bright. The dusk does not fade like in early spring, but rather brews... In the next moment of brewing more beauty.

Chen Zhao thought, maybe this is one of the few beautiful things about summer.

Xia Qing had just cooked a meal, and when she saw Chen Zhao coming home, she smiled gently and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"I went to Yang Xiaoru's house, because I was worried that Zhang Jun's divorce would have an impact on her, so I went to take a look."

Chen Zhao did not hide this.

Because he knew that Yang Xiaoru would not let him go like this. She had a purpose, she just couldn't figure out what it was.

For the sake of convenience later, this lie is also appropriate.

"Really? That's right. Xiaole said that it made me a little strange that you bought diapers, but now I understand that I bought it for Xiaoru's child. After Xia Qing figured it out, he cleared up his doubts, "Sit down, eat." As he spoke, he looked at his elated daughter and said, "Wash your hands first." ”

"Good~"

After her daughter's response, Chen Zhao laughed with her.

He's a little glad... If I hadn't told the truth directly and lied to her that I was going to 'take a walk' or something, then the diaper really wouldn't make sense.

It's just that this seemingly hypocritical smile was immediately debunked by Xia Qing.

She was very puzzled why Chen Zhao showed such a contrived smile, and was puzzled for a few seconds, and finally went to serve the meal with her incomprehension.

Stopping his smile, Chen Zhao felt a little inexplicably tired. After Yang Xiaoru's incident, he found that he seemed to have lost his usual sense of security. Well, he doesn't know if it's right or not, he doesn't quite understand this feeling...

Sometimes the mood is very unstable, sometimes the sleep brings some divorce nightmares, and sometimes, in this home that has been completely adapted, instead... I feel a little subtle hollow.

Although he didn't understand, Chen Zhao knew that the solution could only contain the source, that is, Yang Xiaoru...

Just find a way to make Yang Xiaoru really do what she said, and take that incident as the past.

Chen Zhao made up his mind. But no one knows whether the choice is right or wrong, because what has happened can never be regarded as non-existent. People can deceive others, but they can never deceive themselves...

...

Maybe only Chen Zhao will feel comfortable when his daughter is there.

"Here, eat some meat to gain weight."

During the dinner period, feeding his daughter food was the period that Chen Zhao enjoyed the most.

But this gave Xia Qing a bit of a headache, in the past few months, she was very happy with Chen Zhao's change, even if it was mixed with some unpleasantness, but there was nothing unbearable, the only headache was that Chen Zhao spoiled his daughter too much.

"You... Eat more by yourself, you can't get fat, take care of Xiaole? Xia Qing smiled bitterly, "Besides, how can girls get fat?" ”

"How can you get fat so easily?" Chen Zhao disagreed.

"You touch her face?" Xia Qing pinched her daughter's face, grabbed a piece of paper and wiped the grease stains on her mouth, "I've gained more than ten pounds in the past two months, what else do you want?" After speaking, he picked up the meat that Chen Zhao had given to his daughter and stuffed it into Chen Zhao's mouth.

“...”

There's nothing wrong with girls being fat, right?

Chen Zhao chewed, also a little dissatisfied. Anyway, it's still far from growing up, and when you're young, it's not easy for you to be targeted by boys, and you won't fall in love... Well, when you grow up, you can't get married and continue to raise it, and it's nothing..

"Chen Zhao, I went to the mall today to see a set of clothes, which suits you well. I just don't know what color you like.." Xia Qing said suddenly.

"What's there to like or dislike... I wear everything the same for work, I don't have to buy it, I keep the money. ”

Chen Zhao refused.

"What about buying a bike in a few days?"

Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and still listened to "Hmm... I don't need a bicycle anymore... Xiaole has a holiday for these two months, so forget it. That old bike can also be used, and it's not that it can't be ridden. ”

After thinking about it, after seeing his daughter's happy listening to the two chatting, he suddenly said, "Xia Qing, I want to do business." ”

These words made Xia Qing, who was drinking the soup, almost choked, and coughed a few times before looking at Chen Zhao with a shocked expression, "Business?"

"Ahh It's not a business anymore. I thought, it's very slow to make money like this, and you have to save for a year before you can buy a house, so it's better to make a small store or something. You want our store to make at least tens of thousands of dollars a month, so much a month..."

Chen Zhao's somewhat serious attitude made Xia Qing also serious.

She pondered for a while and said, "Chen Zhao, I haven't thought about this. But if you want to, I'll support you. But we're only saving a few thousand dollars now... And I didn't know what to do, I didn't know how to do it, so I had to calculate it slowly. ”

"Well, I know that, but I have some plans."

Seeing Xia Qing's attitude, he smiled and said, "I think so, by next year, if you save so many tens of thousands, you don't need to take out a loan to buy a house first, and use it to do business." If it's not enough, I'll find a way to borrow it. I'm going to do something about food. In our store, the most profitable and most profitable is the barbecue. A sausage is only a few cents, and if you bake it, it will sell for 2 yuan, and one will earn more than a dollar! Not only that, but also juices, burgers, etc..."

Chen Zhao explained endlessly.

Xia Qing chuckled and responded.

Don't buy a house.. Do business first..

Well, she felt a little risky, after all, Chen Zhao just came up with an idea... What if the business fails? Not to mention all the losses, eighty percent of them have to make money again, and life has to be hard again.

But in the end, Xia Qing still didn't say anything.

She thought, she can't always think about the bad, if it succeeds, the family will improve all of a sudden, right? The house can be borrowed immediately, and life can be better. Everything Chen Zhao does is for this family, so it doesn't matter if you believe him.

This is just a proposal, and it will take a few days before they can save enough money, so after talking for a while, the two will not discuss it in depth.

"When are you going to take her to the amusement park?" Xia Qing asked as she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Uh.."

Chen Zhao thought about it seriously for a while, "Wait two more days, wait for a day when the weather is not too hot." Otherwise, if I go out on a hot day, I'm afraid she will suffer from heat stroke. ”

"Yes, okay."

....

In this way, the family's night began to calm down.

Life as light as water.

Take a bath, watch TV, frolic with your daughter, sleep...

It's that simple and mundane, and there's no fun at all.

But Chen Zhao, who is new to this kind of life, doesn't hate it, it's just that he doesn't enjoy it as much as he did at the beginning.

It was late at night.

At 8:40 p.m., the lights were turned off, and Xia Qing used the lamp to check the documents to prepare for tomorrow.

Chen Zhao's mobile phone rang with a bell.

The phone showed Yu Yazhi.
