CHAPTER XXXVI
I stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Mother-in-law, may I ask, is this Zhong Yiping's house?" ”
"This is Zhong Yiping's home, are you?" The old woman asked, a little surprised.
"I was a colleague of hers, a former colleague. Drop by today and take a look. I said, looking at the strange old woman.
"Okay, go inside and sit down." The old woman let me into the back room.
"What about Zhong Yiping?" I asked.
"I went to work in other places." The old woman said.
"Where did you go to work?" I asked more urgently.
"Beijing." The old woman said, "Zhong Yiping's mother cooks in the kitchen. ”
I hurriedly walked to the kitchen, and sure enough, I saw Zhong Yiping's mother.
"Hello, auntie, do you remember me?" I asked.
"Oh, it's been ten years. Ha ha. Zhong Yiping's mother looked at me in surprise and said with a smile.
I almost burst into tears and said, "Yes, I always think of Zhong Yiping." So, I came to see Zhong Yiping today, I wanted to come to see you and see Zhong Yiping, but ......"
Zhong Yiping's mother hurriedly said: "Xiao Liu's mother is also here, and Xiao Liu is Zhong Yiping's one." ”
"Zhong Yiping went to Beijing?" I asked.
"I've been in Beijing for the past few years." Zhong Yiping's mother said.
"What are you doing in Beijing?" I asked.
"Do the renovation." Zhong Yiping's mother said.
"When is she coming home?" I asked.
"I'll be back during the Spring Festival." Zhong Yiping's mother said.
My heart was cold all of a sudden, and there was a huge gap in my heart, and at this time, I didn't know what to say.
"Why don't you come to play often, some of Zhong Yiping's friends always come to play." Zhong Yiping's mother said.
At this moment, an old woman came from behind, and when I saw it, it was the one I had just seen.
"This is Xiao Liu's mother." Zhong Yiping's mother said very blandly.
I know sensitively that there is a meaning in Zhong Yiping's mother's words, that is, it is not very convenient to speak, so you should pay more attention.
I understood this very well, nodded, didn't say anything more, and stopped with my mouth and pretended to be very flat. But in my heart, it seems that I have lost Zhong Yiping again. The heart is empty, is this all God's arrangement? Can't even see a figure?
Xiao Liu's mother also sensed that there was something wrong with me here, so she excused herself and left.
I asked, "Is Zhong Yiping doing well?" ”
"Good, good." Zhong Yiping's mother said flatly.
"Have a baby, right? Boys, girls? I asked.
"Man, six years old." After Zhong Yiping's mother finished speaking, she asked again: "What about you, are you married?" ”
"I ......" I didn't know what to say, I wanted to cry, I wanted to control my emotions, for a long time, I said: "When Yiping got married, she asked me to attend her wedding, at that time, I didn't come because it was inconvenient, this time I came, it can be regarded as making up for that time, I want to go to Zhong Yiping's room to see, okay?" ”
Zhong Yiping's mother hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll take you to see it." ”
I followed Zhong Yiping's mother upstairs and walked into the bedroom, everything in it has gone through ten years, and it is no longer bright, but it is still neat and simple, giving people a warm feeling.
I immediately withdrew, emotionally still unable to accept such an ending. These should have been the living environment that Zhong Yiping and I had, but these were the living spaces of Zhong Yiping and another person.
I couldn't control my emotions more and more, I wanted to leave immediately, I didn't want to stay for a moment; I remembered the last time I was so impulsive, but I waited ten years to come again. So he held back his emotions and didn't let his legs move.
Everything here no longer belongs to me, I thought, suddenly thinking of something to bring a little bit of Yiping, or to make a souvenir. I don't think I'll be here in the future, so this time I should be the last visit in my life. What can I take with me? I thought about it and didn't know what to take.
"I'd also like to see a picture of her." I said, I hope Zhong Yiping's mother can find Zhong Yiping's photo.
Zhong Yiping's mother took out a booklet, Zhong Yiping's personal photos are very few, mainly photos of her marriage, old photos of Zhong Yiping's family, and photos of the little boy. I watched them one by one, and once again tears fell uncontrollably.
"I want a photo of Zhong Yiping before, not before she got married." I muttered to myself, as if I was saying it to myself, thinking to myself, maybe taking away a photo of Zhong Yiping, more or less comforting in my heart, is worth the trip.
Zhong Yiping's mother and I searched carefully, and finally, I found a photo of my student days, a black and white photo, and I looked at it carefully:
Zhong Yiping at that time had a immature face.
Zhong Yiping's mother said with a smile: "This is taken when she was in middle school, hehe, and the buttons of a dress are wrongly buttoned." ”
I endured my sadness, smiled, and said, "That's it." ”
Zhong Yiping's mother took it out and handed it to me.
I took it solemnly and put it in the pocket of my blouse; At the same time, I felt Zhong Yiping on my chest, a warm feeling.
I immediately went downstairs, and Zhong Yiping's mother left me for dinner.
I said, "No, I'm leaving." After saying that, he pretended to be very happy.
"If you leave like this, Zhong Yiping will blame me, she will be unhappy, let's leave after eating." Zhong Yiping's mother said.
I listened to Zhong Yiping's mother say this, thinking of the hurried parting ten years ago, I thought: In the future, don't be so impatient in everything, you should be more mature, since you are here today, let's stay a little longer, I don't know when you will come next time? Perhaps, it won't come. I also wanted to ask a lot of things about Zhong Yiping, so I agreed to stay for dinner.
I followed Zhong Yiping's mother back to the kitchen, the layout of the kitchen has basically not changed, the rope holding the kettle is gone; Looking at the stove, I naturally remembered the scene of boiling eggs for me back then, and my eyes were full of tears.
I cried and said: "I really missed an opportunity, I really love Zhong Yiping, Zhong Yiping also loves me, we should be together......"
Zhong Yiping's mother suddenly interrupted me and said, "We also regret it, we shouldn't have forced you to be a son-in-law, the second girl was not admitted to college, and we were also wrong." ”
"How is Yiping?" I asked.
"Oh, how can I say that. Child, then again, it's been so many years, it's hard to say, hey-" Zhong Yiping's mother wiped her tears with her hand.
"Mine is really ......" My feelings opened like a floodgate, like a rushing flood, I cried uncontrollably, wiping my tears.
At this moment, I can still feel the true love in my heart, which is Zhong Yiping, but the current situation is that Zhong Yiping is married.
I suppressed the emotions in my heart and asked in a low voice: "Over the years, has Zhong Yiping mentioned me?" ”
Zhong Yiping's mother shook her head, looking indescribable, and after a while, she said: "In the first three years, I don't know why I kept quarreling." In the past few years, I have been doing decoration in Beijing, and Zhong Yiping is cooking there. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in my heart.
Zhong Yiping's mother said again: "We still have a good life, nothing. ”
At this time, a man of six or seven years old walked in, with a black face and a set of student clothes, and ran in.
Zhong Yiping's mother said: "This is Zhong Yiping's child. ”
I saw a little dark-skinned man, about five or six years old.
The little boy smiled curiously at me.
I took out a banknote, stuffed it into the child, and said, "Uncle didn't buy anything today, you can take it and buy some candy to eat." ”
Zhong Yiping's mother didn't let the child receive the money, but the child smiled and took the money.
Zhong Yiping's mother urged the child to call uncle. The little one laughed playfully and did not scream.
I saw Zhong Yiping's child, a bit like Zhong Yiping. It's a reality that I can't accept, I still want to get out of here, and I can't accept it anymore.
I said goodbye to Zhong Yiping's mother, and left without saying a word.
I walked out and happened to meet Aunt Zhong Yiping on the road.
Zhong Yiping's aunt smiled and said, "Qi Xun, I saw you coming a long time ago, so I came to see you." ”
"Do you remember me?" I felt like I was going to cry.
"It's been all these years, don't mention it." Zhong Yiping's aunt said.
"I understand, ten years. I'll be very rational about these things, don't worry. I said, "At that time, I wrote several letters and didn't reply?" ”
"I am very clear about the relationship between you and Zhong Yiping, but the situation in Zhong Yiping's family is just to recruit a son-in-law." Zhong Yiping's aunt paused and said, "Zhong Yiping's marriage was forced by her parents, there was no way, for the first three years, the relationship between the two has been discordant, if you come at that time, it would be good, Zhong Yiping is so bitter, in the third year, they were forced to live together, and only gave birth to this child in the fourth year, and went to Beijing to work in the past few years." ”
When I heard this, I was taken aback, and turned my face sideways, I didn't want Zhong Yiping's aunt to see my face, at this time, tears in my eyes poured out.
After a long time, I turned my head and asked, "Do you know where Zhong Yiping is in Beijing?" ”
"You want to find Zhong Yiping?" Aunt Zhong Yiping asked.
I didn't say anything, and looked at Zhong Yiping's aunt in a daze.
"Qi Xun, you are all married and have children, for the sake of your respective families and children, don't think about these anymore."
I really wanted to say that I got married, but I got divorced again, and after thinking about it, I didn't want to add trouble to Yiping and didn't say anything.
"During the Spring Festival, you can bring your lover and children to Zhong Yiping's house, come to my house, come and play, it's okay."
