Chapter 25: Lack of Love
Finally dealt with the couple's affairs and sent these two people away, Ning Shuyi only felt that his heart was suffocated and panicked, heavy, and brisk.
Huo Yan could see that her mood was not too high, so she didn't say anything, silently dealing with the matter at hand, but would peek at the expression on Ning Shuyi's face from time to time.
Because their identities have not yet been finalized, there are not many things that can be done, so Ning Shuyi and the others did not stay at night to do unnecessary consumption, and ended their work a little later than the usual time when they got off work.
On the way home, Ning Shuyi didn't talk much, and when she arrived at the door, although she could see that she had worked hard to adjust her emotions, and her mood was much brighter than when she was in the unit and on the way home, Ning's mother, who had always known her daughter very well, quickly found the clue.
She took advantage of Ning Shuyi's efforts to help clean up the dried bedding in the living room, sneaked to the kitchen, came to Huo Yan, who was helping to help, and beckoned to him.
Huo Yan is tall, and Mother Ning is a petite figure, standing in front of Huo Yan can only reach a little below his shoulder.
So as soon as he saw Mother Ning gesturing at him, he immediately realized that there was something he wanted to ask himself in private, and hurriedly bent down to shorten the distance between his ears and Mother Ning's mouth.
"Xiaoyi, what's wrong with her?" Mother Ning asked in a low voice, behind her back, the roar of Father Ning stir-frying and turning on the range hood almost covered her voice, "Why do I see that her mood is not right after she comes back today?"
Fortunately, Huo Yan's ear power is very good, even in such a noisy environment, it is not a problem to hear Qingning's mother ask in a whisper.
He shook his head at Ning's mother: "It may be that the people I met at work today are noisy, which makes her a little annoying, and there is nothing serious."
Mother Ning looked at Huo Yan suspiciously, trying to tell from his face whether it was the ingredients that comforted him or the ingredients that told the truth were the most.
However, Huo Yan's expression has always been very light, and Mother Ning took a look at it, but she didn't see anything famous, so she could only accept such a statement.
Soon the meals were all ready and served on the table, and after eating more than half of the meal, Mother Ning still couldn't help it, and couldn't ask anything from Huo Yan, so she simply asked her daughter directly.
"Xiaoyi, are you unhappy today?" She asked while paying attention to Ning Shuyi's expression.
Ning Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and did not answer Ning's mother's question, but asked Ning's mother in turn: "Mom, if there is a child, after the divorce of his parents, he is unwilling to live with either of his parents, and he is even very cold and resistant to his parents, and he is unwilling to have any more emotional interaction with them.
Do you think this means that the child is indifferent to his parents?"
Mother Ning was stunned for a moment, and when she heard the question her daughter asked her, she was also relieved, obviously this should be related to the work she was dealing with, not related to her personally, so it seems that Huo Yan is telling the truth.
"The divorce of parents also involves custody matters...... It seems that the children in this family are not very old...... "Ning's mother thought for a while, "If you are a child, I think you are the opposite.
Looking at the situation you said from my perspective as a mother, this child should care about his parents in his heart, but the divorce of his parents has caused harm to the child and made the child angry.
How old is this kid you're talking about?"
"In junior high school." Ning Shuyi replied.
Mother Ning's face was clear: "That's right! Children in junior high school are the most awkward age! On the one hand, I haven't grown up yet, and I still need to rely on my parents, and on the other hand, I always feel that I am an adult, and I don't want to be close to my parents like I did when I was a child, and I feel ashamed.
At this time, I was very sad in my heart because my parents were going to be separated and my original family was going to disintegrate, but I didn't want people to see it, and I was afraid of people's jokes, so I had to pretend to be very free and easy, and I didn't care about anything.
Even if it's uncomfortable in my heart, even if I still feel helpless and needy about something
Parents will also be angry, or they feel that they can't wipe their faces, so they insist on not saying anything."
Ning Shuyi nodded, because Ning's father and Ning's mother have had a very good relationship all their lives, and they have not had any unpleasant troubles, let alone quarrels and divorces, so she has no personal experience in this regard, and she is afraid that her own speculation is not very objective.
Now that Mother Ning said this, it can be regarded as one more person who confirms this idea.
"So, in the beginning, this kind of indifference and anger was largely a kind of pretending to be strong and pretending to be free-spirited, but it was actually out of a self-protective mentality.
It's just that later, because both parents ignored the meaning behind her behavior, and only when she was a person with indifferent feelings, they became less and less close to her, and the relationship between parents and children really pushed to the freezing point."
When Ning Shuyi said this, her eyes were looking at Huo Yan, and it was obvious that her mind was back to the case at hand at this moment: "In this way, because the period of adolescence coincided with the marriage change of her parents, and then completely ignored her emotional needs, it will cause her to have a distorted psychology and personality when she becomes an adult.
It is normal for people who are severely lacking in love and love during their teenage years, or even in childhood, to become more and more withdrawn and unwilling to communicate with the outside world.
After graduating from high school, I entered the society, and the types of jobs I could engage in were relatively limited, and the degree of stability was also debatable, plus I was not the type who was very outgoing and good at socializing, so sales were also excluded. Then it is likely that some service industries do not require high academic qualifications, but the liquidity may be relatively large.
Because of such a character, she is unwilling to communicate with the outside world in her daily work and life, alienated from all relatives, lacks friends, coupled with extreme negligence on the part of her parents, and poor job stability.
In other words, it's not that no one is willing to report the crime for her, but no one realizes that there is such a person missing from the world!"
Huo Yan nodded, expressing his agreement with Ning Shuyi's conclusion.
When Ning's mother heard these words, she was completely relieved, and sure enough, her daughter's emotions were led by the work at hand.
So she first sandwiched a piece of fish into Huo Yan's bowl, and then put a piece into Ning Shuyi's bowl: "You two! Even if you haven't taken your brain back from the unit after work, it's better to finish your meal first and then think about it!"
Ning Shuyi came back to her senses, hurriedly smiled sweetly at her mother, and buried herself in eating.
