Now facing such a situation again, it is simply a large-scale social death scene. More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at her in unison, and she stumbled and fooled the phrase 'you are staying here'.

But she didn't expect people to look at each other and didn't reply to her words, still looking at her quietly.

Ji Si'an swallowed his saliva, nodded awkwardly, and almost trotted past them into the alley next to them.

It wasn't until she walked a few meters away that the people behind her seemed to press the start button and started talking again......

"Who was that guy just now?"

"I don't know."

"Who's the object?"

"I haven't heard anyone say it."

"Why do I look so familiar."

"It can't be the granddaughter of the old Ji family, right?"

"Which granddaughter? Isn't there only one grandson in her family? ”

"Tsk. It was born later, the one before, didn't there be a daughter-in-law before? ”

"Oops, that's the one who was killed...... The child that the man left behind. ”

"Oh...... I remember. That girl has been out for a few years, right? Why did you come back today? ”

"It's going to be a few years. She hasn't been back since the old lady left......"

……

Listening to the discussions of the people behind, Ji Si'an regretted coming back a little, seeing that she arrived at the door of her father's house, she didn't want to go in.

Just as she was about to leave, the blue iron door suddenly opened. The stepmother, who was about to go out, was stunned on the spot when she saw Ji Si'an at the door.

Seeing that the atmosphere of embarrassment is getting stronger and stronger. The stepmother was the first to speak: "Xiao An? …… How did you get back? ”

"Oh, why didn't you say it in advance when you came back...... What are you doing here, come in. ”

Xu is the previous life-saving money relationship, and her stepmother's attitude towards her has changed a lot. The strangeness was not comfortable with false enthusiasm and politeness, but Ji Si'an still followed her invitation into the house.

"I'll call your dad...... He didn't know that you had come back, and he had gone down to work in the fields. ”

"A few years ago, when the factory was dissolved, he went home. We now live on a few acres of land...... Your brother is still in school...... The family is not well-off. ”

The stepmother was worried that Ji Si'an would come back to ask for debts, and she talked about the difficulties of the family intentionally or unintentionally.

Ji Si'an did not answer, but quietly looked at the furnishings at home. She was a stranger to the home......

"Your dad said to come back soon, the house is a little messy, you sit first, I'll pour you a glass of water." With that, the stepmother began to clean up the clutter on the table.

Although the decoration of the house is old, the room is very clean, the window grilles on the glass, and the flowers and plants carefully cultivated under the windowsill all show that the hostess is a good housekeeper.

"No hassle. I'm just going to come back and see. Ji Si'an was still a little weak, and his voice was not loud.

The stepmother looked at her pale face and asked, "Are you sick?" ”

"It's better now, but it's still a little weak."

"I'll get you some brown sugar water. Girls still have to pay attention. ”

knew that the stepmother might have misunderstood, but Ji Si'an did not correct it. Looking at the belated cup of brown sugar water she served, Ji Si'an was a little warm.

Ji Si'an is not good at talking, and her stepmother is also a stranger to her, and just when she is about to run out of pleasantries, her father and younger brother are back.

"You're back. Just right...... You accompany Xiao An. I'm going to cook. ”

Watching his stepmother flee from the living room as if she had been pardoned, Ji Si'an didn't realize it.

"Your wounds...... Better? Father sat a little crampedly across from her.

"Well, it's much better."

Ji Si'an didn't ask his father how he knew the news of her injury, thinking that it might have been notified by the criminal police team.

"Girls' families, don't keep thinking about running outside, it's only right to find a serious person to marry." That's what my father said.

Although Ji Si'an didn't like to listen to it, he didn't refute it.

Ji Hui hates chatting with her daughter, not only because she looks like her mother, but also because of her calm and waveless appearance, clear and cold, but she has more thoughts than anyone else, as if she is the smartest in the world. I don't know why I look stupid to say anything in front of her......

Just now, even if she doesn't refute herself, she still looks like she's on top, just like her mother did back then......

Everyone thinks about their own thoughts, and the topic is cold here. In the end, it was the younger brother who came out to play the round. He was very curious about the world across from him, and when he heard that his sister was in college at Chenghuang and was still working as a lawyer there, he pulled her to ask questions.

His addition suddenly swept away the dull atmosphere, and Ji Hui and Ji Si'an breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Ji Si'an put all his thoughts on his younger brother's problem, and time passed much smoother.

After the family ate dinner in silence, it was the most embarrassing bedtime time. Seeing that the dishwashing work was over, the stepmother had no excuse to go out, and the father stopped talking after handing Ji Si'an an an apple. Even though his stepmother kept making eyes, he just stared down at the cigarette in his hand, as if the cigarette butt was some rare object.

The younger brother has finished asking all the questions, and he has long been bored playing with his mobile phone. His stepmother kicked him to find something to talk about, but he thought he could break up and got up to go to his room.

"Don't go back, clean up your house and let your sister sleep."

The younger brother wanted to refute, but was killed by his stepmother's eye knife.

Ji Si'an regretted coming back a little, and had secretly decided to return to Chenghuang tomorrow.

It was really boring to sit there, but it was the younger brother who came up with the idea to let the family play cards to kill the hours before bedtime.

Hit the double liter...... Ji Si'an hadn't touched a card for many years, to be exact, she hadn't played since her grandmother died. At that time, a one-dollar deck of cards was the biggest pastime ...... her and her grandmother at that time.

Thinking of her grandmother, she was a little slow to draw cards, and was urged several times by her anxious brother.

"Sister, hurry up and draw cards......"

"Sister, why is your luck so good......

"I knew I wouldn't let you sit in the opposite house with my father, so how can I play with my mother......"

……

Looking through the glass covered with red curtains, they really looked like a family sitting together.

But this feeling is only available to the younger brother who has no heart and lungs and is still young. As soon as it was 10 o'clock, the stepmother reminded them to rest early.

Father and Ji Si'an breathed a sigh of relief, only the younger brother was still a little unsatisfied, pulling Ji Si'an and constantly emphasizing that he must be with her next time.

Ji Si'an smiled and didn't respond, she ...... Probably won't want to come back again. I don't manage how to persuade myself intellectually to ease the relationship between father and daughter, but emotionally I don't have half a vacation. There is no longer any affection between her and him......

Although he was extremely tired this night, Ji Si'an couldn't sleep for a long time. Even if I fell asleep in a daze afterwards, it was a nightmare.

In her dream, she heard her mother's screams again. Her father dragged her out of bed by the hair, and she tried to catch up, but she tripped over something under her feet, and saw her mother kicking and pulling her father into the kitchen...... She cried out loudly, but no one helped.
