Volume 6: The City of the Heart (17)

"Chen Zhao... You're wrong..."

In this quiet night when the wind suddenly disappeared, the crackling and frying sound was so harsh. Xia Qing's voice muffled the tiresome noise.

"Yes, I admit it, you haven't had a job for the past two years, and I've worked hard to support my family. But when I was in a car accident and couldn't work, what was the difference between what you did and what I did? ”

Xia Qing stretched out her slender fingers to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her nose looked a little red because of tears, but this only added a rare sense of weakness and stubbornness to her cold-looking appearance.

"What I see is that you go out early and return late, sometimes you don't even have time to eat, and you work hard to make money. I saw that you got up at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning to cook for me and secretly went out to work, and I saw that you have been wearing clothes and pants for a few years, and you would rather buy food for Xiaole than be willing to change one..."

"Chen Zhao, I feel distressed when I see you working so hard and working so hard. But I can't help you with anything, I can only try to spend less money, work as hard as possible, save more and earn more money. When the money is enough for the coming year, I will do business for you, and the family will slowly live a good life..."

"It's just that I don't understand, really, I don't understand where the gap between us is, why do you suddenly say the word cumbersome? Chen Zhao has been married for 6 years and has been together for almost 8 years. I didn't say it the year before last, I didn't say it last year, and I didn't mention it until now, what do you make me think? A few words from Wang Dong erased my feelings for you and this family, is it fair? It's not fair, Chen Zhao! ”

"Love needs to be giving, there is no such thing as sitting back and enjoying it. Happiness and beauty after marriage also need to be created together, and our marriage is not one person's..."

“...”

Xia Qing's voice fell.

Obviously, the voice was so soft, mixed with a little crying, but in Chen Zhao's ears, it sounded like a scream of all his might...

As the wind blew that had only paused for more than a minute, some of Chen Zhao's thoughts that should not have slowly dissipated in the tens of seconds of silence with the wind and Xia Qing's words.

Wrong?

It seems to be wrong...

He was surrounded by crying inside. Oh, yes... He was wrong, but Xia Qing was also wrong...

After 6 years of marriage, the two of them, who were already more than relatives, should not have such estrangement and guilt as him. Xia Qing is very right, marriage is two people. Therefore, Chen Zhao admitted his mistake in his heart.

But he is not Chen Zhao, who has been married for 6 years!

He has only been with Xia Qing for 4 months, and even before he came to this world, he didn't even know Chen Zhao, who was his future wife!

There is estrangement, there is no love... Isn't it?

However, Chen Zhao knows that his biggest mistake is that he has existed for a long time, and he has hidden your thoughts deep inside:

'It's Xia Qing's idea that he has no feelings for him, just for his daughter who is barely supporting the family...'

He got the answer he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask. And this answer, he was stabbed with a faint pain.

"I'm sorry..."

Chen Zhao bit his lip and softly admitted his mistake.

He felt that three words were enough. Too many explanations are also meaningless. The only thing he wasn't sure about was what he apologized for...

When Chen Zhao's heart was the most chaotic, he still met his daughter's eyes at the moment.

The big eyes that were pure and ignorant, but well-behaved, had changed a little, and seemed to have added some emotions that were more unsuitable for her. She just didn't say a word, sat and lowered her head and listened to the conversation between the two...

And the initiator of all this is himself.

"Let's go over like this..."In the end, Xia Qing replied, she looked at her daughter with complicated eyes, and after looking at Chen Zhao, her tighter fingers turned a little white, "Never file for divorce again, that's it, live a good life, okay?" ”

Chen Zhao didn't understand Xia Qing's feelings, he couldn't try, so he couldn't understand.

Fortunately, the price of making mistakes is unforgettable, and it will always be remembered.

Of course, maybe, maybe someday in the future... Chen Zhao can also understand the kind of self-world that Xia Qing has experienced, as if the world is destroyed, the dim sky, the raging flood, and the biting cold wind.

It was late at night.

After eating the grilled fish, it was beyond my daughter's bedtime. Holding their daughter, who didn't seem to be sleepy, Chen Zhao and Xia Qing went to check out.

The conversation between the two, in this quiet small restaurant, naturally can't escape the eyes and ears of the shopkeeper.

Thinking of the words of the young couple in front of him, why didn't the shopkeeper think of himself?

But everything doesn't always match.

Every family's marriage is different, and it is impossible for everyone to have the same simple solution...

"48 pieces."

Received the money and got a discount card.

It's just that when Chen Zhao was leaving, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the price list: grilled fish: 148 yuan.

....

Time wears everything away.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

Chen Zhao's life also returned to his usual calmness, taking his daughter to work, and going home to greet Xia Qing's gentle smile. Wang Dong's words were slowly and selectively forgotten by him as time passed.

But it wasn't he who denied Wang Dong.

He agreed.

It's just that he can't give up Xia Qing anymore.

Of course, I haven't seen Wang Dong since then. Chen Zhao thought that it might be because Wang Dong had no special relationship with him, and he had clearly represented his position if he didn't divorce, and it was useless to think about it, so he died.

It could also be that Xia Qing may have said something to him when he was at work, but he didn't know all this.

Since he owes Xia Qing, he can only make up for it slowly. Then the only way is to work harder, find a way to earn more money, save money, do business and make a lot of money, so that the family can live a good life...

...

It's hot and dry light at noon.

The air conditioner in the store blocked the scorching summer, Chen Zhao hugged his daughter, and at noon, there were almost no guests, watching TV comfortably, passing the rest of the time, and storing the physical strength of the busy evening.

But this morning, Chen Zhao received good news from Zhang Jun.

It's good news.

He said that he and Yu Yazhi were together, and Yu Yazhi promised to try boyfriend and girlfriend, and he was slowly turning into a married life.

Chen Zhao didn't expect the progress of the two to be so fast, but Yu Yazhi is a good person, and Zhang Jun has a good personality, if he abandons his unwillingness to Yang Xiaoru's ten-year relationship, then this may be a good marriage.

So he blessed.

Subconsciously, he also knew that as long as the two got married, that sense of guilt would be greatly reduced.

Lunch time is fast approaching.

Lunch is not provided in the store, and Hu Guiyu's home is close to the store, so she often eats at home. And Chen Zhao can only order a simple takeaway for himself and his daughter as before.

"Eat more and gain weight."

Chen Zhao sandwiched the braised eggs in the lunch box into his daughter's lunch box as always, and while eating, he held a spoon to feed her.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

The caller ID was Yang Xiaoru, which made him a little puzzled, why did she call herself at noon?

In the past week, Yang Xiaoru has called Chen Zhao once or twice to help her buy things and send them, but most of them are off work, and this is the first time to call at this time.

Is there a hurry?

Thinking of this, Chen Zhao immediately took it.

"What's wrong?"

"Come here..."

"I'm at work." Chen Zhao frowned, a little dissatisfied with Yang Xiaoru's tone, "If you have anything, just say it, what you need to buy, I'll send it to you after work." ”

"Zhang Jun and Yu Yazhi are together, they should have called you too, right?"

“...”

Zhang Jun told her?

Chen Zhao had a headache, he was really idle and had nothing to do....

Yang Xiaoru's bland and somewhat unusual tone made Chen Zhao a little worried, and he said, "It's been said, what's wrong?" ”

After this answer, Yang Xiaoru's flat tone finally changed.

She smiled, "I want you to let Zhang Jun and Yu Yazhi separate." ”

"What are you kidding?" Chen Zhao's face instantly turned ugly.

"Chen Zhao... I'm not kidding you. ”

Yang Xiaoru, who was on the other side of the phone, replied, "If you want to get rid of me, just finish this thing, I promise, I will never pester you again in the future." But speaking of which, her smile sounded a little cold, "Otherwise, you don't want to have a good time..."
