If this love becomes a memory

【37】

Hu Zi stayed in that small county town for a few days. According to the address provided by his senior sister, he found the family. He did not rush to the door, but first inquired in the neighborhood. The family's former son-in-law seems to have the surname Jiang.For the sake of caution, he observed secretly for two days. Except for a middle-aged woman who occasionally came out to buy vegetables every day, no one else came in or out of the house.

In the end, he went to visit in the name of his master. The middle-aged woman was Jiang Yicheng's ex-wife, and told Hu Zi that Jiang Yicheng was still missing.

"It's been a few years, and I don't know whether he is dead or alive." The woman said: "In fact, he is not bad in his bones. At the beginning of the company, he was promoted entirely by his own efforts, because he was wrong with other leaders and was messed with. What he couldn’t figure out was that he was financially clean all the time, but in the end he was dismissed because of financial problems of 5000 yuan. After that, he changed. He would gamble if he had money in mining, and cheat if he had no money. Even a good friend like Xiao Yi will not let it go, now that the retribution is coming, my son has leukemia, I am afraid the days are numbered."

Listening to the woman's ramblings, Hu Zi was speechless, and left feeling disappointed, with some inexplicable emotion. Jiang Yicheng was also a person with ideals and ambitions back then. With his passion, he achieved some brilliance in the company. Who would have thought that he would fall to this point in middle age, harming his family and his master.

After returning home, taking advantage of the next day's weekend, Huzi invited the monkey couple to Mo Xiaonan's house together.Since the money will not come back, those few people should sit down and discuss it carefully, and make arrangements for the future life of the master.

After all the people arrived, Huzi explained in detail about his going to the county seat. As soon as the words fell, the monkey took over the conversation and questioned the details.

Mo Xiaonan sat on the side and watched quietly. When she brought her master back, she decided to take care of it herself. She had carefully considered it. She didn't understand what the brothers and sisters were discussing.When he looked up, he saw Xiao Yi poking his head at the door, waving at her, and walked out.

Xiao Yi pulled her into the corridor, looked around mysteriously, took out a tissue from his pocket, opened it and handed it to her. "Rabbit, here you are."

Mo Xiaonan saw that it was two pieces of chocolate, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Eat it, master."

"I'll eat it for you, it's delicious." Xiao Yi said, "It's all gone, only these two pieces are left."

Mo Xiaonan took it with a smile. "Then I'll eat later."

Xiao Yi shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "Don't take it in, they want to eat yours, so they eat it here."

Mo Xiaonan had no choice but to put a piece in his mouth and asked, "What is Simin doing?"

"Change clothes, the chicken mother-in-law will take me to the street later." Xiao Yi looked at her, licked his lips and said, "Is it delicious? I secretly left it for you, but the chicken mother-in-law didn't see it."

"Well, it's delicious." Mo Xiaonan nodded and said, "When you go to the street, listen to what Simin says, don't run around and talk nonsense."

"Understood, the chicken mother-in-law said, if someone greets me, I just laugh and don't speak." Xiao Yi said.Seeing that Mo Xiaonan ate up all the chocolate, he turned around and went downstairs contentedly.

Looking at Xiao Yi's childlike smile, Mo Xiaonan suddenly felt that memory loss might not be a bad thing for Master, at least she could feel the joy from the heart after Master came back.

Back in the house, the two monkeys were still arguing endlessly, while Xu Meifeng dozed off. She got off work at midnight in the morning and was brought here for a meeting before she had a rest.Mo Xiaonan refilled the tea for everyone, and as soon as he sat down, Hu Zi's voice became louder: "Even if I did not do my job well enough to find Jiang Yicheng as you said, you can see the situation of his ex-wife's house. He doesn't even have money. Even if Jiang Yicheng doesn't care about his ex-wife, his ex-father-in-law and mother-in-law, can he still ignore his own son?"

"It's a trivial matter to get the money back or not, the main thing is to find someone!" Monkey said.

Beard was in a hurry, he didn't understand what the monkey meant.Isn't it just to get back the master's 20 yuan from Jiang Yicheng?Even if you find the driver who caused the accident, isn't the purpose just to claim compensation?He said: "We all know that he has no money, so what if he finds someone?"

"Money, money, money! Why are you sitting in the office stupidly? You know about money." Houzi stood up abruptly and said, his action startled Meifeng beside him, and when he heard that the two were still arguing, he couldn't help becoming irritable. Said: "Okay, you guys are eating too much food, what's the matter with accumulating food? Can't you talk about these ghost stories early in the morning and talk about something serious?"

Monkey ignored his wife, and continued: "If you want to wait for me to go together, we have room for discussion, but you are willing to go alone, so that's fine."

Huzi suppressed his anger and said, "You can, you go, you go and find Jiang Yicheng."

"Look for a Chacha. If you go like this, he hides without hearing the wind. Isn't he stupid?"

Seeing that Meifeng's dissuasion was ineffective, Mo Xiaonan remained silent.I have been in contact with these people for six or seven years. When talking to the outside world, their opinions and actions are surprisingly consistent. When discussing internal affairs, it is always like this. Three angles, three ideas, and three plans are always three parallel lines. It was up to her to choose a side and end the dispute.

The beard on the side couldn't bear it any longer. For the past few days, I had spent time and effort searching for Jiang Yicheng in that small county.In recent years, according to the secular view, he stayed in the management position after becoming the chairman of the trade union, and his status was much higher than that of the monkey couple who were still workers. , he always felt that the monkey couple had never really respected him as a senior brother, so he stood up immediately, looked down at the half-head monkey and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

"What do I want? I just know that someone should be responsible for this matter!" Houzi roared: "The driver who caused the accident can't be found, Jiang Yicheng can't be found, and the co-author will come back as a useless person? I can't swallow this. "

"Okay, if you insist on finding someone to take responsibility, I'll tell you who to look for." Hu Zi gritted his teeth and said, "If the master hadn't been cheated out of money by Jiang Yicheng, he wouldn't have worked in that ghostly place, and wouldn't have had a car accident, right? ? But if the master doesn't go out and stays in No. [-] factory, how can these things happen?" He said and shoved the monkey. "Why will the master leave? Ask your daughter-in-law."

At that time, the master bought out the length of service, quite suddenly, the formalities were completed in a few days, and he packed his things and left.Huzi still believes that there must be something inside the master's departure.A woman in her thirties, who has worked and lived in a state-owned enterprise for more than ten years, is already familiar with the soil in thinking and acting, and is unlikely to throw away her iron rice bowl rashly.And the master never thought about it, if he went out to find another job, first of all, he would not have an advantage in age, and if he went out to do business, he would not be like the 90s at that time.The reason for this, I am afraid only the goblin knows.

Huzi's words stunned the people in the room, they looked at Meifeng with unison, Meifeng didn't recover, and said: "Ask me what?"

"Ask why your master left." Hu Zi said: "I still remember that you and the master had a fierce quarrel, and the master left within a few days."

Meifeng shook her head, she didn't rest after zero o'clock, she was groggy and slow to reflect, she didn't fully hear their conversation, and said casually: "Why are you arguing with the master? I used to quarrel with her, you guys It's not that I don't know."

"No, during the years when the master was in the No. [-] factory, he never spoke loudly to anyone. Even when she beat someone for me, she was calm and reasonable after the fight. But the quarrel with you, the master can Said it was so violent that it even smashed the computer."

"Huzi, you've been nagging for so long, what exactly do you want to say?" the monkey interrupted impatiently.

"I just want to say that I suspect that the master's departure has something to do with your daughter-in-law, at least she knew about it." Hu Zi said: "I remember that at that time, the master said such a sentence:'I have lived an upright and innocent life, but Unexpectedly, what happened to you made me unable to straighten my back and straighten my spine. That’s enough, I have done what I should do, why can’t I live my own life?’ It’s like the goblin replied: ‘You go on like this , don’t ever think about being an upright person.’ Then the master fell silent and started smashing things”

Meifeng woke up from her drowsiness all at once, she didn't expect that Huzi would overhear the argument between herself and her master back then, but fortunately, from his narration, she only heard the second half, thinking about how to answer.Houzi also felt something was wrong when he heard this. When Meifeng was with his teacher, he hadn’t transferred shifts yet. For a while, the three of them worked together. Before, Meifeng was really annoying. Talking nonsense, the master at least smiled and got up and walked away, never bothering with her.If according to what Huzi said, the master was furious, which shows that the situation is serious, so he turned his face and asked Meifeng: "What's going on?"

Meifeng turned her head, thinking about how to divert this topic, and said: "That time - I had a dispute with the master, and she - indeed was furious. You always think that the master has a good temper, and people who know her in the Seventh Factory I think so too. In fact, it was an illusion. She has a bad temper and suppressed it during the years in No. [-] Factory, so, that's why she broke out so badly that time."

"Don't talk about those useless things, just talk about why you two are arguing." Hu Zi said.

"Yes, and is the master's departure related to that quarrel? It is related to you?" Monkey also echoed.

Meifeng felt her head was getting bigger, so she just kept silent.And Mo Xiaonan, who sat for a long time, felt even more bored. She didn't know the situation of the master in the seven years, and she didn't know the grievances and grievances between these people. : "Can we discuss the next topic? The previous things have gone with the wind."

"No." Monkey said: "She must clarify this question."

Meifeng sighed, and said solemnly: "Yes, the master's departure is related to that quarrel, to be precise, it is related to me, as for the reason, I can't say."

"Why?" asked the monkey.

"Because it involves the privacy of the master."

"Don't talk about privacy. The monkey here is your husband, and the senior sister is a woman. At most, I'm an outsider." Hu Zi got up and opened the door and rushed out.

After Huzi left, Houzi looked at Meifeng, thinking about the privacy she just said, he understood a little bit, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that the master did something to hurt you?"

"That's not it."

Houzi heaved a sigh of relief, remembering that his sister had mentioned many times that the master was in love that year, and said, "That's why you found out that she had a girlfriend and fell in love?"

Meifeng raised her head, quite shocked: "Do you know what kind of person Master is?"

"Guess, I guess Huzi also has such a guess." The monkey said: "Didn't you hear what he said just now? I don't understand. Even if the master has a girlfriend and fell in love, why are you arguing with her?"

Meifeng looked at the monkey and thought it was incredible. "Then according to what you want, I should be happy for them, or according to the master's temperament, arrange their marriage in the No. [-] factory, and let the master marry that woman?"

"What's wrong with that? If the master is really willing to marry that woman, shouldn't we as apprentices be happy for her, shouldn't we make arrangements for her? And according to the rules, we have to call that woman Master Mistress."

"Shut up!" Meifeng sternly said: "It's fine for you to talk about these nonsense here, if it spreads out, master should not be a man! I have been keeping the secret of master, just to preserve her face, but I don't want you guys I know. Now I finally understand why the master would rather choose to escape than get rid of that shameful habit, it is because you bastards who have no position and don’t talk about right and wrong are indulged.”

Mo Xiaonan almost lost his temper when he heard it from the sidelines, not to mention that the master's private affairs were discussed so frankly by the two of them, nor did they say that the two had completely different reactions to the matter. Did she scold it too?

The monkey stood up and said slowly, "I'll ask you again, why are you arguing with the master?"

"I wanted her to break up with that woman, but she refused to die, saying that she would never give in again this time, so I threatened her"

"Fuck you!" Monkey rounded his arms and waved out. "It turns out that you are the one who started it! Who did the master lose? Who did you catch?"

Meifeng was slapped and fell down on the sofa, rubbing her face for a while before standing up.Said: "You have grown up, you know how to beat people, and you know how to use the instigator, then do you know what the master's behavior is called?"

"Whatever his mother's name is, who is the master in the way? Did you dig your family's ancestral grave, or did you push your child down the well? I want you to threaten her to break up and force her to leave!"

"I can't explain it to an illiterate like you." Meifeng said, "Why does she have to choose that perverted life? Why can't she correct her mistakes and become a normal person?"

Before Meifeng finished speaking, the monkey punched her in the face again, and then kicked her.Mo Xiaonan screamed, rushed over and pushed the monkey away vigorously: "Enough, monkey!"

Looking at Meifeng who fell to the ground, the monkey trembled with anger, stretched out his finger and said, "You are not fucking normal, you are still a cultured person, the more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you are!" After that, he grabbed his coat and went out.

Mo Xiaonan leaned over to help Meifeng, but saw that she was covering her face with one hand, her nose started to bleed, and she was covering her stomach with the other hand, curled up into a ball.Not daring to move her right now, he hurriedly got some crushed ice from the refrigerator, wrapped it in a towel, and applied cold compresses to stop her bleeding.

After a while, Meifeng got up by herself, moved the sofa and lay down.Mo Xiaonan asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Meifeng shook her head and said weakly: "I want to sleep for a while, I'm very dizzy."

Mo Xiaonan went into the room and took out the quilt to cover her, and then gently closed the door and went out, cursing in her heart, "Damn it, this ghost will open!"
