Chapter 5: Wait a minute
In the storm, I took a taxi back to the dilapidated community where I lived for two years. After getting off the car, I subconsciously looked at whether the Audi Q7 that Micai had parked downstairs.
Fortunately, the car was not there, and even more fortunately: I hadn't returned the key to the house to Mi Cai yet. I thought optimistically: Anyway, my father will stay for a whole night. If she doesn't come back tonight, everything will be settled without any danger.
I ran back to the house as fast as possible, put my luggage back in the shortest time, and then put the bed in the first place. Then I stood on the bus stop with an umbrella and waited for my father to arrive.
About a quarter of an hour, a bus departing from a long-distance bus stop slowly came. I looked up with my neck and saw Daddy walking off the bus with a briefcase.
I waved to him and shouted, "Dad, here."
Dad Ban came to me with some surprise and asked, "Didn't you go to have dinner with your colleague?"
"Eating is a small matter, and you come is a big matter. I can tell the difference." I said as I took the briefcase from my father-in-law and carried it for him.
Dad Ban was silent and followed me to the community.
I complained, "Dad Ban, you are on a business trip for public expenses. Will you be able to fight directly when you come to me next time? It's not that you won't be reimbursed!"
"Public expenses are also money, saving a little bit is a little bit." Ban Dad said seriously.
"Our government has trillions of foreign exchange reserves in the United States, so it's not too small for you to take a taxi!"
Dad Ban didn't say anything, and obviously didn't want to argue with me about values. He always did this. He never wanted to explain what he thought was right, as if he was an independent world alone, and then he worked as the deputy section chief in this independent world for 15 years.
...
Back in the house, Dad Ban took out a stainless steel lunch box from another bag other than the briefcase and said to me: "This is the wild crucian carp I caught last week. Your mother cooked it and asked you to bring it to you. Just heat it when you want to eat it, and it's okay not to heat it."
"Let's eat it tonight."
Daddy Ban looked at me in confusion and asked, "Didn't you eat it with your colleague?"
"Are you here? You'll come back after eating half of it." After saying that, he quickly interrupted: "By the way, Daddy Ban, have you brought the glutinous rice wine made by my mother this time?"
Dad Ban nodded and took out a bottle of orange juice from his bag, which contained the glutinous rice wine I liked to drink.
My father and I poured a glass of glutinous rice wine together, ate the cooked crucian carp and peanuts, and waited for the white rice porridge cooked in the rice cooker, chatting without saying a word.
I was a little absent-minded, afraid that Mi Cai would come back suddenly, it wouldn't matter if she was scared. If I exposed the stuff in front of Dad Ban, I would be able to die.
...
As soon as I finished drinking a glass of glutinous rice wine, footsteps came from outside the door, and I heard the sound of the key inserted into the keyhole. I was a little panicked, looked at the father-in-law, and then looked at the door that was close to me.
The door was opened, and it turned out that Mi Cai walked in. The scene in front of her made her stunned. However, Daddy Ban didn't react much and just regarded Mi Cai as the person who shared the rent with me, or as his girlfriend.
Before Mi Cai could speak, I held her arm and asked with concern: "Have you drunk? I will help you into the house... Don't thank me, everyone rented together, this is what I should do."
I was kind enough, but at an angle that was invisible to the sight of a father-in-law, I raised my hand to cover Mi Cai's mouth and pushed her into her room a few steps.
"Scum... let me go!" Mi Cai said vaguely while struggling.
"Don't shout!" I said in a low voice.
Mi Cai struggled to take out her cell phone from her pocket again. The fool knew that she was going to find the police to deal with me. My behavior was indeed enough to be a crime of breaking into a private house.
I snatched my phone from her, pressed her down on the bed, rode on her to prevent her from continuing to struggle, and I couldn't care what a rogue position this was.
I lowered my voice and said nervously: "Don't call me, let my dad hear it, and I'll die!"
Mi Cai ignored me at all, looked terrified, and instinctively raised her hand to grab my hair tightly.
I was so painful that I was about to collapse, but I grinned but didn't dare to say a word: "You are gentle, your head is almost bald by you!"
"Scum..." Mi Cai, who was covering her mouth, shouted in a vague way.
I said angrily: "I am a scumbag..."
Then he whispered: "But in my dad's eyes, it's not! He has high blood pressure. If he knows that I'm penniless and don't even have a place to live, he will be angry... Sister, just treat me as a pity. He is here for a business trip all night and will leave tomorrow morning... I promise not to bother you in the future!"
Mi Cai finally stopped struggling and let go of my hair, but her beautiful eyes still stared at me with hatred and disgust.
I carefully let go of the hand covering Mi Cai's mouth, and this time she finally stopped shouting.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and after a moment I realized that I was still riding on Mi Cai. Just as I was about to get up with apologies, Mi Cai twisted her body and pushed me hard. I fell from the bed with a "bang".
"Zhaoyang, what are you doing inside?" Dan Dad asked when he heard the movement.
I endured the pain and said, "I hit the cabinet..."
Dad Ban didn't ask any more questions, and Mi Cai finally looked at me with a smile but angry expression after revenge.
"I warn you not to talk nonsense! My dad has high blood pressure and cannot withstand the blow. You stay in the room and don't go out!"
Micai did not agree or deny it.
I made another gesture of asking, but she still didn't say anything. I could only comfort myself when she agreed, and then took the door and walked out of the house.
………
When I arrived at the living room, my father Ban had already gone to the kitchen to serve 3 bowls of rice porridge and said to me: "Zhaoyang, go and send the girl a bowl of porridge. After drinking, I have to eat something, so I can't bear to be hungry."
"You can let her rest."
As soon as I finished speaking, Mi Cai walked out of the room with her handbag...
With all my previous evil deeds, Mi Cai would not cut me off. At this time, exposing me in front of my father Ban was retribution for me.
Just when I was nervous and my legs were weak, Mi Cai walked towards the door without squinting. It seemed that she was going to leave this room for me tonight.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the always dull father Ban said to Mi Cai who had not walked out of the door: "Girl, I have filled you a bowl of porridge and drink it while it's hot."
I wish Mi Cai would leave quickly, and winked at her again and didn't expect Mi Cai to look at me, and then nodded to Ban Daddy and said, "Thank you uncle."
...
The two people who had just fought each other for life just sat on a table and drank porridge by chance. I was always like a suspect who had done something wrong, without saying a word, but always being wary of Mi Cai saying things that shouldn't have said.
From time to time, I glanced at Mi Cai from the corner of my eyes, but I didn't know what medicine she was selling in the gourd. However, she didn't seem to want to tell me about it with her father. She just sipped in small sips of porridge.
Dad Ban has always been dull and doesn't like talking, and he is much more attentive to eating than others, so he first finished the porridge in the bowl, got up and picked up his handbag, and said to me: "There are people living here, I'll stay in a hotel."
I looked at Mi Cai and said to Ban Dad, "Ban Dad, don't leave, just go back and sleep with me."
"I've been very fucking recently. You have to go to work tomorrow, so it won't affect your sleep." Daddy Ban shook his head and took out the sweater from the bag and handed it to me: "The sweater your mother knitted for you."
I took it and looked at it, and asked in confusion: "Why did I knit two pieces?"
"When you get along with a partner in the future, I will wear it for you. The sweater knitted at home is thick!"
I was a little helpless. I knew that Dad and Mom used this obscure way to remind me to find a girlfriend quickly.
I looked at Micai who was still drinking rice porridge and teased, "It's cold, I'll give you a sweater later!"
Mi Cai glared at me, but she didn't get angry in front of her father, but I felt secretly happy.
...
Before leaving, Dad Ban counted 3,000 yuan from his wallet and handed it to me, saying, "Hold it."
I smiled indifferently and said, "Why are you giving me money? I'm not short of money!"
Dad Ban stuffed the money into my hand: "I gave birth to you. I have a good idea of what you are. How many times have you told you that you need to have a plan for using money... I took the time to pay the water and electricity bill." After that, he looked at the water and electricity bill on the ground that had fallen a few days ago.
My nose suddenly became a little sore. I was really not a son who would worry about my parents. I stuffed the money back to my father's hand: "I really don't need it. My mother is in poor health. You can keep it and buy her some ***. I will get my salary next week."
Without saying much, Ban Dad put the money on the table, looked at Mi Cai again, and walked out the door alone.
...
I caught up with Daddy Ban and sent him downstairs. He kept silent and said to me: "That girl was pretty good just now, she looked good!"
I grabbed Daddy Ban, looked at the parked q7 and said, "Daddy Ban, hurry up and put away your fantasy. She is not my food... I saw that car, it's hers."
Dad Ban looked at the red q7 with my eyes, with a puzzled expression. I thought he was also surprised why Mi Cai drove such a car but moved into such an old place.
In the end, Ban Dad chose to remain silent habitually. He was helpless with my bad situation. In fact, no matter whether we are willing to admit it or not, we are already in an era where we need to use money to prove love, so I asked him to put away his fantasy, and I am even more reluctant to fantasy!
This night, Dad Ban finally left me with a saying "work hard", and left in the rain with an umbrella.
Looking at his elderly back in the rain, I read his expectations in this sentence. He expects me to work hard, marry a girl, and let him hold a grandson... But Daddy, I am living in the helplessness and struggle of myself, living in the heaviness and pull of reality, and many good things to be realized, wait for a while!... How good?
