0035 Troubled?
"A friend can find out that my dad really can't leave, so he let me come. "I have already called myself my father at Uncle Ling's place, and this second time I said it was quite natural.
Xu Wei was silent, and beside Hua Wuyu, she just led the way and did not speak again.
However, Hua Wuyu could feel it, her emotions were fluctuating, and her eyes were a little sloppy, she should be recalling the past.
Xu Wei is the same age as Mu Jiutian, now forty-two years old, not too old, but she should be very tired, her face is easy to see the look of exhaustion and look old, her eyes do not have much brilliance, her body is also very thin, she is more than one meter tall, I am afraid that she only weighs more than eighty pounds, her hands hanging on both sides, her finger joints are thick and rough, there are a lot of calluses and some small scars that have been scratched by something.
Back then, Xu Wei and Mu Jiutian were both young and beautiful women, and they had a lot of admirers, but only forty-two years have passed, but they are already like this. Time is really a merciless carving knife for mortals, leaving scratches on the body year after year, plus Xu Wei herself must have had a hard time, and the scratches are even more profound.
The clothes he was wearing were also very old, the white shirt had been dyed with a faint layer of other colors, and the blue jeans had faded to their original color and turned white.
Hua was speechless and couldn't help muttering, "I wonder how Qian'er is now?"
Mu Jiutian is also a mortal, a mortal of the same age as Xu Wei.
Behind the three-storey building, there is a small alleyway.
Behind the building itself, there are two gates.
The two of them walked through the gate on the far left.
It was dim, and there was no light.
It was also very quiet, the two of them stepped on the stairs, which could be heard clearly, even the sound of breathing, which could be faintly heard.
Not far from the staircase at the bottom of the building, there are a lot of debris, and a little further away there is a garbage can, there is a strong musty smell, which smells a little pungent.
"Be careful, the street lights are broken, and the repairs haven't come yet. Xu Wei reminded.
"Good. Hua said speechlessly.
"There aren't many people living here, are they?" he asked.
This three-story building occupies a very wide area, but except for the towel pond business house in the front, he didn't feel too much popularity, originally looking at this size, it should be able to live more than 20 households, but only three or four guards.
The building is old, and with the blind eyesight of the flowers, I can clearly see that the stucco layer on the wall has fallen to reveal the red adobe bricks, and there are cracks in some places, and the stairs they walked, one ladder after another, were a little blackened, and they were covered with moisture, and the whole thing was dark and damp.
It seems that Xu Wei is having a bad time, which makes him feel sour.
"Well, there are still three families living here, and it won't take long to wait here, and it should be demolished. Xu Wei said, with a flat voice, a little lonely and sad.
On the third floor, the wooden door is closed, and there is a dilapidated painting on the door, which is the door god, and there are couplets pasted on both sides of the door in an unknown year.
Xu Wei knocked on the door.
The door opened, and it was opened by a thin boy of fifteen or sixteen.
Compared with the darkness of the corridor, the light revealed in the house is a little dazzling, and it seems that the design of the house is okay, and it is not as light as the corridor.
"Mom, you're back?"
"Who is this big brother?" the boy asked.
"Mom's friend's child. Xu Wei replied.
"Oooh. The young man nodded, and smiled politely at the flower again, "Hello, please come in." β
"Okay, thanks. Hua nodded wordlessly and walked in.
"Cheng Cheng, it's time to eat. Xu Wei looked at her son so politely, and her face was full of kindness.
Hearing this, the young man entered the kitchen, and suddenly there was a chaotic movement in the kitchen, such as the sound of dishes colliding and the sound of running water.
Next to the coffee table in the living room, there is an old sofa, the black skin of the sofa is a little broken, and the place where people often sit has been recessed into a nest with a fart/strand size.
Hua sat down speechlessly, "What's your son's name, how old is he?"
"He, his name is Jiang Chengcheng, he is eighteen years old, and he is now in his third year of high school. β
"Eighteen years old?" Hua Wuyu couldn't help but be surprised, just came in and had a preliminary look, he looked thin and naΓ―ve, and thought he was fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Well, yes, I'm going to take the college entrance examination soon, and I'm going to college. β
"What college are you going to attend?"
"He plans to go to Linhai University, which is close to home. β
"Well, Linhai University is very good, it can rank among the top in the country, and Cheng Cheng's results are good. β
"Well, it's okay. Obviously, Xu Wei's face radiated glory, "He can rank in the top ten in Zhizhou No. 1 Middle School, there should be no problem in being admitted to Linhai University!!"
"What about you, I think you're twenty years old, and you're also the age of college, right?" asked Xu Wei.
"Oh, I didn't go to school. β
"Didn't go to school?" she was surprised, "what about your dad?"
Hua was speechless and was afraid to ask 'his father', and didn't know how to say it.
"Can you not talk about this?"
"Okay. Xu Wei was not reluctant.
"By the way, what's your name?" Xu Wei looked at Hua with a speechless expression, just like an elder looking at a junior.
"I'm ......" was just saying, Jiang Chengcheng served the meal, interrupted Hua Wuyu and was about to lie, but Hua Wuyu just stopped talking, intending to bypass the problem.
Jiang Chengcheng also sat down, and the three of them had a simple meal.
Xu Wei took the bowl of rice handed to her by Jiang Chengcheng, didn't start eating, and didn't continue to ask the question of the name, but got to the point, "What did your father ask you to come to me for?"
"He wanted to know all about Mu Jiutian. Hua was speechless, her eyes were staring at Xu Wei, her expression tightened, and she prayed in her heart that there must be news.
Hearing this, Xu Wei fell silent, but she could see from her expression that her emotions were beginning to tumble from slow to fast.
After a long time, she spoke, "Hehe, does he still remember Jiutian?" The words were a little cold, a little mocking, and with a sadness from the bottom of her heart.
Just such a question, the coldness and ridicule are not strong, and it sounds a little bland, but it makes Dehua's speechless heart hard, and it is uncomfortable for a while.
"When he left, he really had a last resort. He defended himself.
There is really no choice for him to leave.
Xu Wei put down the dishes and chopsticks, staring straight at the flower speechlessly, that gaze, if an ordinary person was stared at, would definitely be furious, "Is it a last resort?"
This 'last resort' really made her a little angry, "Is that the last resort you, or your mother, who cheated on her outside of marriage without saying goodbye?"
"You're almost in your twenties, your dad is twenty-one years old, but you're twenty years old. β
"You don't know the ...... of Nine Tilts"
"Alas...... I'm sorry, I'm a little out of control. β
"I'm also sorry for Jiu Tilt ......" In the end, Xu Wei didn't question any more, and ended with such a sentence with a sour expression.
It's her who is sorry for the Nine Tilts.
