Chapter 78 Let go(2/2)
Next there was a woman, a slightly fat woman. This fat woman was a little angry and said: "How many times have I told you not to play football on the road, but you just don't listen! It's okay now, everyone is dancing.
It’s my shop!”
"Mom! I didn't! It rolled in by itself! I didn't even kick it!" the child muttered.
"You also said, how could the ball run in by itself! You have started lying at such a young age, right?" The fat woman's eyes widened at this time, and she was about to hit her son.
But this child is a thief, and he will hide behind anyone he sees... regardless of the fact that the elder sister's feet are tied like rice dumplings.
"Chen Cheng! Are you so disobedient? Come here! Stop harassing me!" The fat woman put her hands on her hips, but seeing her son harassing someone, she immediately apologized again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
, my son has always been very naughty, he didn’t mean it. Are you okay...Xia Man? Feng Xiaman? You are Feng Xiaman, right! I am Meimei! Jiang Xiaomei!"
…
Two women, and a child drinking Bozi soda, just started chatting in this small noodle shop.
"So you went abroad, no wonder..." The fat woman named Meimei sighed: "I didn't expect that I could still see you after more than ten years."
Tao Xiaman also sighed. She had already met Meimei once... The last time she visited her hometown, she saw her. Although she recognized her, she did not come forward to acknowledge her.
Tao Xiaman looked at the child hiding behind her mother's skirt and said softly: "Well, it's been more than ten years and your son is already so old."
Meimei suddenly said: "Do you know whose child this is and I have?"
"who?"
"Amu! Chen Zimu!"
"That naughty king!" Tao Xiaman said in surprise: "You two actually got married! My God, I really didn't expect it!"
"I can't think of it." Meimei shook her head, also looking weird, but her smile was very sweet. She said with emotion: "This is probably the so-called impermanence of the world? It's like you suddenly transferred to another school one day.
, we have never thought of it.”
"Nothing." Tao Xiaman shook his head.
Meimei also suddenly stopped talking... She and the woman in front of her used to be very good friends, but they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, but now they seemed so unfamiliar.
Perhaps this unfamiliarity is not due to the separation of more than ten years, but to some prejudices that existed more than ten years ago...that existed among the parents.
"By the way, why did you suddenly come back this time?"
"I'm getting married. My fiancé's hometown is from here, so I came back to have a wedding reception." Tao Xiaman said softly.
"Congratulations!" Meimei subconsciously grasped Tao Xiaman's palm, but soon felt something was wrong and retracted her hand in embarrassment.
Tao Xiaman grabbed it with his backhand, "Will you come that day?"
"Of course! I will definitely come!" Meimei said softly. She suddenly lowered her head: "Xia Man, I'm sorry. At that time I..."
"What is in the past is in the past." Tao Xiaman shook his head.
Meimei gave a bitter smile, and reached out to touch her son's head, "But I know how much I hurt you. It wasn't just me, but all the classmates in the class... We shouldn't have done that to you at that time.
Yes. Really, the older a person gets, the more things he knows, and the more he understands his own naivety. Especially..."
Meimei said softly: "Especially after having this little naughty kid, I understand this even more. Children's hearts are very fragile. They can hear a lot of words, and they can also remember far more words than us adults can imagine. Some things, they
Maybe one mark will last a lifetime."
Tao Xiaman smiled bitterly and said: "Didn't I say, let the past be in the past? As it is now, it's pretty good. I didn't even think about it, we still have a chance to sit down and chat."
"Yeah, maybe it's fate." Meimei said: "Like here, I got married early and became a full-time housewife. I pick up my children from school at this time every day, and then go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. I live here.
, I even pass by here every day, but how could I have imagined that I could see you here again."
Tao Xiaman just smiled...it immediately relieved something.
"Oh, I remembered that in the past, Uncle Feng would often take you here to eat." Meimei raised her head and looked around the noodle shop, "I really miss it. I haven't been here to eat in a long time...
...I'm sorry, I'm too talkative."
Tao Xiaman shook his head and said nothing.
Meimei hesitated for a moment, "By the way, Xia Man. Have you...have you ever gone to see your dad?"
"I haven't seen him for a long time." Tao Xia said quietly, "I haven't seen him since his accident."
"You...you hate him?"
"Hate." Tao Xiaman's expression was complicated: "In fact, I haven't hated it for long. It's just that as time goes by... I will be scared."
"You...don't you plan to go see him?" Meimei gently grabbed Tao Xiaman's palm, "I know I am not qualified to talk about your family affairs. But to be honest, I am also a parent, so I understand what it means to be a parent.
Mood. This kid makes me angry every day. Sometimes I really want to throw him out and leave him alone. But, this anger can't last a night. If I can't see him for a day, I always feel like something is missing.
. I think the same is true for Uncle Feng. No matter what the previous generation did wrong, they have already received the punishment they deserve. Your mother passed away early, and he raised you alone and never let you suffer anything.
Grievance. No matter what his status is outside, whether he is a tailor or a criminal, to you, he is just a father."
"Meimei..."
"Xia Man." Meimei said softly: "Don't you feel it? In fact, I have always lived in happiness. Something happened when I was a child, but I met a kind person to adopt me. When I grew up, I met my fiancé who loves you. You really
You have always lived in happiness, but you don’t feel that you are happy. Why do you feel that these things will leave you?”
"I..." Tao Xiaman wanted to say something... but she found that she couldn't say anything.
"Xia Man! Xia Man! Great, you are really here!"
At this time, Zhou Zihao ran in panting from the outside and grabbed her hand, "I didn't see it. I asked people along the way and found this place! Great, are you okay? Huh? My feet hurt.
No pain?"
"I'm fine, someone is here." Tao Xiaman shook his head.
Only then did Zhou Zihao notice that there was a mother and son next to him, and he wondered: "This is..."
"My childhood classmate, Meimei."
"Hello, hello." Zhou Zihao said politely.
Meimei nodded, then looked at Tao Xiaman, smiled slightly and said: "I'm not wrong? For a man who loves you so much, who says you won't be happy? These things, do you still think they will run away? You just
Ah, I never meant to let you go."
…
"What did your classmates talk to you about?"
It didn't take long for Meimei to lead her son and continue shopping for groceries. Inside the noodle shop, Zhou Zihao took a sip of water and asked curiously.
"Some common words." Tao Xiaman shook her head and sighed: "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, people will really change a lot. I didn't know she could talk like this before."
"Well, maybe you've learned to be nagging now that you've become a parent?" Zhou Zihao said seriously, "Will you be like this too?"
"Looking for death!" Tao Xiaman knocked Zhou Zihao.
Who said you are not already in happiness?
…
Returning to the old house again, Zhou Zihao hugged Tao Xiaman and sat on the sofa and waited. Waited until it was completely dark, waited until nine o'clock in the evening, and waited until eleven o'clock in the evening.
The two of them still didn't wait for Master Zhou's return.
It's as if Master Zhou has never existed here, because at night, there is no electricity here.
Unconsciously, Tao Xia fell into a sleepy state.
She had a very strange dream.
In the dream, she seemed to have become a transparent person. She was still in this old house, but a small desk lamp was lit here. It was a small lamp on the workbench.
I'm afraid it's very late at night?
Everything was quiet, except for a slightly hunched figure in front of the workbench, squinting his eyes and working on his needlework.
On the red silk, golden auspicious clouds appeared like this line by line.
She just sat next to this figure and accompanied him silently for a long, long, long time.
Suddenly there was a blur in front of her eyes, and she suddenly traveled to a strange place.
In a cave.
She seemed to hear something.
A familiar voice.
"...This dinner and this chat are already worth it. Besides, I have been out for such a long time, so I have already made money."
"Why should I, why should I let her life, which she finally found happy, continue to be chaotic. I...I shouldn't appear in her life again..."
"Send me back..."
She saw the old figure disappearing little by little in the thick fog, and she saw that she was still asleep in the cave.
She woke up suddenly. A ray of sunlight shone through the blinds, and it turned out that it was already dawn. She was still here, and Zhou Zihao was beside her.
It turns out that it has passed.
She subconsciously touched her face, thinking she had cried. (To be continued.)
