waiting in time

After school, Kang Ning and Li Yue walked to Xueshi Lane. Two women in their 50s and [-]s were chatting with each other on the street. Their voices were loud and their topics were unscrupulous.

"I heard that Kang Dong's daughter-in-law ran away with someone," said the older woman.

"No, I'm still at home. That woman is willing to run away. Kang Dong can make money. How can she be willing to leave such a large family business?" the young woman said.

"Kang Dong is not at home all year round, I heard that he has found a younger one, the child is already grown up"

"No wonder his daughter-in-law is looking for someone. The couple are not serious people, and they can't bear the loneliness."

"Kang Dong only comes back a few times a year, and he doesn't stay for long. It's your husband who makes you able to bear it." The older woman teased and said, and the two laughed together.

"Kang Dong's daughter-in-law dresses herself up so beautifully all day long, she deliberately seduces others"

"Stay in the mahjong parlor every day, go to restaurants with men, and go to KTV to sing and drink. What should have happened has happened long ago." The young woman looked at the older woman tacitly and said.

"Maybe there's more than one man," the young woman said with a smile.

"That's not true. I heard that Kang Dong's daughter-in-law is with an honest second-married man, and that man is not capable," said the older woman.

"Kang Dong is so powerful and capable, how could his wife find such a man, who can't bear to be lonely, just find a man who has no ability, good looks and money, it's a pity for her good looks" the young woman said regretfully .

"Can't keep a man, can't bear loneliness, what's the use of a good appearance, it's not cheap, I want a man like crazy" the older woman said contemptuously.

"That kind of woman is cheap," the young woman responded with a smile.

"Pity"

"Who are you talking about?" A teenager's voice screamed, and Kang Ning was like an enraged little beast, ready to explode at any time.

The two talking women turned their heads in amazement, not expecting that Kang Ning would overhear them talking casually. "Who told you to call my mother, tell you to tell me!" Kang Ning yelled angrily, ran in front of the young woman, and suddenly pushed, the young woman was not careful, was pushed by Kang Ning, staggered, and retreated two He stepped forward, became angry, and prepared to fight back.

The older woman hurriedly pulled the young woman over and said, "We are adults, how can we argue with a child?" The young woman looked at Kang Ning angrily, the anger on her face was still there, but she turned around and left without saying a word.

Kang Ning wanted to catch up, but Li Yue held him back, "If you have the ability, don't leave, let you talk about my mother, what happened to my mother, you say that about her," Kang Ning roared.

"Let go of me, Li Yue, I must have a good argument with these two women, who is it?" Kang Ning struggled to let go of Li Yue's hand and chased after her.

Li Yue hugged Kang Ning tightly, and as the two women walked away, Li Yue let go of Kang Ning, Kang Ning gasped heavily and stopped talking.With his head down, Corning's tears rolled down his eyes, and he began to cry, feeling sad, uneasy, and irritable.

Li Yue held Kang Ning in his arms, didn't say anything, and patted his back lightly, Kang Ning's tears soaked Li Yue's clothes, bit by bit, expanding the area, Li Yue felt that it was raining in his heart, The raindrops fell little by little, making people feel irritable.

"My mother is a good woman. She loves me and takes care of my family. She just likes to play mahjong," Kang Ning said, sobbing.

"Well, Aunt Zhang is a good woman." Li Yue followed up and repeated, but he knew in his heart that what the two women said today might not be groundless, and he had long seen that there was something wrong with Kang Ning's parents' marriage.

Li Yue rubbed Kang Ning's hair and said. "Don't cry, your mother wants you to go home for dinner today"

"I don't want to go back," Kang Ning said sadly.

"Go to my house," Li Yue said.

"I don't want to go" Kang Ning didn't want to go to Li Yue's house. When he saw Li Yue's mother, he felt very jealous, which made him even more embarrassed.

"Let's go to KFC, don't you always want to go?" Li Yue said.

"Okay" Corning agreed in a low voice.

"Let's go." Li Yue held Kang Ning by the hand, and Kang Ning was silent all the way, depressed.When he arrived at KFC, Li Yue went to the front desk to order food. Kang Ning sat in a hidden corner in a daze. Li Yue paid for it, took a double serving of hamburgers, coke, French fries, chicken wings, and egg tarts on the table, looked at Kang Ning and said, " eat something"

"I don't want to eat" Kang Ning looked lonely.

A lively child was suddenly full of worries, and Li Yue didn't know what to do for a while. He rarely felt this helpless feeling.

Li Yue leaned against Kang Ning, embraced Kang Ning, leaned in his arms, and stroked his hair with his hands.

"Kang Ning, don't be sad, you are sad, and I am sad too." Li Yue's tone was deep.

Kang Ning was sad to hear that, and buried himself in Li Yue's arms, weeping softly. Li Yue listened to Kang Ning's crying and stroked Kang Ning's back to comfort him. It seemed that it was useless to say anything at this time.What happened to Kang Ning can only be carried by Kang Ning himself. All he can do is accompany him. He has no strength to afford Kang Ning's life.

Li Yue took out the paper from his school uniform pocket and handed it to Kang Ning. Kang Ning wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his eyes were dull, and he sat quietly.I don't know when, Kang Ning said, "You go to school, I don't want to go today"

"You look like this, I don't worry." Li Yue looked at Kang Ning worriedly. If Kang Ning played a scoundrel, he could rest assured. On the contrary, this good baby's appearance made people worry.

"What, what do you think will happen to me?"

"I know you won't, but I want to be with you" Li Yue insisted.

"It's up to you." Kang Ning stopped talking.

"I want to go for a walk." Kang Ning stood up, Li Yue stood up after him, and the two walked out of KFC. At an intersection, there were crowds of people and heavy traffic.Kang Ning walked away without looking at the direction or purpose, walking on a long and endless road, walking out of the urban area, into the village in the city, and at the intersection of the highway. How long it took and how many roads he walked, Kang Ning was tired and sat on the ground slumped. There were no cars on the road, and a winding road led to a distant place.The suburban wind was blowing coldly, and the hair of Kang Ning and Li Yue swayed with the cold wind.

"Think about it," Li Yue looked at Kang Ning and asked.

"Yeah," Corning replied.

"What is it?" Li Yue asked.

"My mother is a good woman. She will not betray my father. They are all lies, and I will not believe a word." Kang Ning must be stubborn.

"Think about it, let's go back." Li Yue stood up and stretched out his hand. Kang Ning took Li Yue's hand, stood up, and walked back the way he came.

"I'm tired," Corning said.

"I'll carry you" Li Yue squatted down, and Kang Ning jumped onto Li Yue's back.

"Am I sinking?"

"Shen"

"Shen put me down." Kang Ning moved to get down.

"Don't move, or I'll fall with you." Li Yue grabbed Kang Ning's legs and said.

"Okay," Corning whispered.

"Li Yue"

"Um"

"Li Yue"

"Um"

"Li Yue, will you always be nice to me?"

"do not know"

"Why don't you know?"

"Because we all have to grow up, and when we grow up, a lot of things will happen"

"Then I don't want to grow up"

"Everyone grows up, it's not something we can decide"

"Will you change when you grow up?"

"will not"

"I won't change either." Kang Ning buried her head on the back of Li Yue's neck, "Li Yue, will you love someone for the rest of your life?"

"do not know"

"why?"

"Life is too long, if that person can't hold on, I will give up"

"If that person loves you as much as you love her, will you love her for the rest of your life and never change your mind?"

"Yes," Li Yue replied firmly.

"What about you?" Li Yue asked

"I will too. If you love someone, you have to love for a lifetime," Kang Ning said firmly.

But at that time, they were still young, they didn't understand love, promises, and the helplessness of life.

Li Yue didn't ask Kang Ning what he wanted to understand. Along the way, the two of them didn't talk anymore. Li Yue carried Kang Ning on his back, and Kang Ning quietly lay on Li Yue's back. warmth.

Li Yue carried Kang Ning on his back for a while, but couldn't move anymore. When Kang Ning came down, the two of them walked to the village in the city together, but they couldn't move anymore. They happened to meet a taxi, and the two of them stopped the taxi and waited to get back to the bachelor. Alley, but saw Feng Qin and Zhang Ailian anxiously standing at the entrance of the alley, saw the two people get out of the taxi, Zhang Ailian walked up, looked at Kang Ning with a worried expression, Kang Ning walked over and called "Mom" with a smile

In the process of looking for Kang Ning and Li Yue, Zhang Ailian naturally knew what happened in the street in the morning, and knew the content of the two women's quarrel. Seeing Kang Ning walking over with a smile, Zhang Ailian breathed a sigh of relief, and her anxiety gradually disappeared. .He said to Kang Ning, "Where did you go? It was a good idea to come back for lunch today but you didn't come back. I thought you had lunch at school. I didn't expect the school to call in the afternoon and say that you and Li Yue didn't go to class. The school couldn't find anyone. I He and Li Yue's mother were in a hurry, looking for you two everywhere, and almost called the police."

"I went to KFC with Li Yue for dinner, and played a game. I didn't check the time, so I came back late," Kang Ning said with a smile.

"You child, why are you still so naughty, you go out for such a long time, and you don't even say hello?" Zhang Ailian said.

"Mom, I'm back," Kang Ning said.

"I don't need to clean up." Zhang Ailian smiled and patted Kang Ning affectionately.

"Mom, I'm sorry to make you worry." Li Yue walked to Feng Qin and said.

"It's good to be back." Feng Qin looked at Li Yue, and her tense nerves relaxed. Although Li Yue is a mature and stable child, he is still a child after all. Feng Qin was still worried. She didn't really feel relieved until she saw Li Yue. Although she didn't know what happened to the two of them, she believed in Li Yue.

"Let's go, let's go home." Feng Qin took Li Yue's hand.

"Both of you, mother and son, come to my house for dinner." Zhang Ailian looked at Feng Qin and said hastily.

"No, dinner is ready at home." Feng Qin said politely, "I'll take Li Yue and leave first."

Li Yue and Kang Ning made a gesture, and then followed Feng Qin.
