The design director skipped work

Jiang Heng received a call from his mother on the 28th of the Lunar New Year.

At other times during this phone call, he can consider dressing invisible, but this is his own mother, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. In Chinese tradition, family affection is always a feeling that blood is thicker than water.

So Jiang Heng still answered the call, and Wu Zheng held his hand cautiously but firmly when answering the call.

When Mom's voice rang on the phone, it sounded enthusiastic.

"Hengheng, will you go home for the New Year this year?" Mom said.

Jiang Heng tried his best to suppress the doubts in his heart because of his mother's abnormally enthusiastic tone, and asked, "Do you want me to go back?"

"Why should I call you if I don't want you to come back?" Mom said, "Then why don't you come back these two days? Mom will cook meat for you."

"Okay." Jiang Heng nodded cautiously, waiting for his mother to ask for money.

Unexpectedly, his mother didn't mention the money at all, and hung up the phone after making an appointment with him to go home.

After Jiang Heng put down his phone, he was in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zheng shook Jiang Heng's wrist.

Jiang Heng told Wu Zheng about the phone call just now, and also about his inference.Now he has also learned to rely on Wu Zheng, and will no longer hide anything in front of Wu Zheng.

"Auntie may just miss her son." Wu Zheng said after listening, "Her attitude is not particularly good, it is the attitude of a normal mother. Brother Jiang, I think you think too much."

Yeah?Jiang Heng was noncommittal, he felt that his mother would not be like what Wu Zheng said, or in her eyes only his brother Zhang Jinpeng was her real son, and Jiang Heng was just an ATM.

But he wanted to believe what Wu Zheng said, and he hoped that the facts were what Wu Zheng said.

"By the way, Brother Jiang, I'll go back with you during the Spring Festival." Wu Zheng said again.

This sentence made Jiang Heng so shocked that he forgot about his mother's phone call.

"No." Jiang Heng was categorical, "My hometown is in the countryside, do you know what the countryside thinks about homosexuality? I'm not afraid of what others will say about me, but they will also say something about you, and may even have some extreme behavior."

"It's fine if we don't talk about our relationship." Wu Zheng said, "Just say that I am your colleague and a fellow villager with you. You helped me at work. I will stop by to have a look. At night, I can also Go to the county seat and find a place to live, just pick me up when you leave the next day."

Jiang Heng frowned and asked, "If you don't say anything, what's the point of you going home with me?"

"No matter what your identity is, I always think it's better to meet your family members, even if it's a sense of ritual." Wu Zheng said, "Although I know that you have a bad relationship with your family, the family can't control you." , but... in short, I still want to see each other, so that I can die in peace."

Jiang Heng pinched Wu Zheng's face and grinned Wu Zheng's teeth: "Don't say such unlucky things."

In the end, I don't know whether it was Wu Zheng's persistence or his slightly affected tone that moved Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng took Wu Zheng into the car home, but he kept saying along the way: "If you want to go back, tell me anytime. , I’ll buy you a ticket to go back, you really don’t want to have any beautiful illusions about my family, they are not simple farmers at all, nor are they true, kind and beautiful people, I know their true colors too well.”

Wu Zheng nodded in agreement with ahhhh, and finally snored.

Jiang Heng: "..."

He suddenly had a feeling of carrying a lamb into Lion Tiger Mountain.

There is no way, the little lamb insists on going, so let's bite the bullet.

Jiang Heng's hometown is in the countryside of a county affiliated to an underdeveloped city near the imperial capital. Just by looking at so many layers of suffixes, you can tell that the development of this place is not very good. The village is still a dirt road, and there are neat rows of small tile-roofed houses.

"Everyone in the village is okay, but my own family... hey, I can't say. Anyway, when you come to my house, don't say that you are rich, just say that your monthly salary is 2000 yuan." Jiang Heng entrusted, He was really afraid that if his mother borrowed money from Wu Zheng, he wouldn't know where to put it.

Wu Zheng nodded blankly, not sure if he listened.

Jiang Heng's home is at the head of the village. Jiang Heng knocked on the yard door and parked the car. Wu Zheng finally saw Jiang Heng's mother, stepfather and his half brother.

Judging from the appearance, there is nothing to be seen. Jiang Heng's mother is even quite beautiful. Although due to neglect of maintenance, the whole person looks very old, but the foundation of the facial features is still there. She must have been a great beauty when she was young.

When the three of them saw Wu Zheng getting out of the car, they were also stunned, especially Jiang Heng's younger brother, whose expression changed rapidly, looking at Jiang Heng and Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Hello, uncle and aunt. My surname is Wu. I am a colleague of Brother Jiang. My hometown is in the next county. I am a fellow villager with Brother Jiang. I am new here this year. I am grateful to Brother Jiang for his help in work. So with gratitude, I came to see your elders with him during the Chinese New Year."

This line was rehearsed repeatedly with Jiang Heng in the car. Jiang Heng felt that it was a bit awkward to make up, but he couldn't think of a better one, so he just made do.

Fortunately, Jiang Heng's parents are old and don't know much about the working relationship in the city, so they believed Wu Zheng's words, and they warmly invited him to stay for lunch. Take out all kinds of health care products, snacks, even hot water bottles, clothes, etc. that I went to the mall with Jiang Heng to buy for the elder.

Jiang Heng walked in front, talking to his parents, and Wu Zheng followed. Although he didn't understand Jiang Heng's parents' dialect, he felt happy.

At this time, Wu Zheng turned around and found that Jiang Heng's half-brother had been staring at him.There was a sense of insight in his eyes, which made Wu Zheng feel a little guilty, he smiled at Zhang Jinpeng in a panic, and immediately followed Jiang Heng's pace.

At noon of the New Year's Eve, freshly chopped dumpling fillings and reconciled noodles are placed in the main room, waiting for a while to make dumplings. For lunch, there are stewed pork and chai chicken, which smell very fragrant, and are cooked in a large rural earthen stove. The dishes here have a flavor that is different from that of a small family stove.

Wu Zheng saw everything new and took the initiative to help, but Jiang Heng was different, he was too familiar with this place.I don't know why Jiang Heng's expression is still a bit dignified, but it is impossible for Wu Zheng to whisper to Jiang Heng in front of so many people, and he is also embarrassed to send Jiang Heng a WeChat message in front of Jiang Heng's mother, which seems very disrespectful.

Wu Zheng said to help with the meal, but was rejected by Jiang Heng's mother, but Jiang Heng was called to help, and when the family was crowded in the small kitchen, Jiang Heng asked, "Where are uncles and the others? Didn't come this year?"

Jiang Heng's mother is of course not an only child at that age. He has three uncles. In the past years, they would have a family dinner together at noon and then go back to their respective homes in the evening. Man, it still makes him feel a little abnormal.

"They're not coming." Mama Jiang said calmly, filling a big bowl with meat.

"Why?" Jiang Heng asked.

"There are so many reasons!" Jiang's mother finally showed a temper similar to the past in the past few days, "It means that you want to see those uncles more than your own mother!"

"It's almost the same." Jiang Heng said lightly.

At this time, he finally stopped thinking and confirmed that his mother had not changed her gender. The three uncles did not come. It's her own reason.

Jiang Heng glanced at Zhang Jinpeng inquiringly, Zhang Jinpeng understood, and said, "Brother, after serving the meal, accompany me to fetch a bucket of water in the yard."

Jiang's mother glared at Zhang Jinpeng again, and the two acted innocent in tacit understanding. Jiang Heng brought the rice into the house, and then instructed Wu Zheng to look for Zhang Jinpeng in the yard immediately.

"What's going on with mom and uncles?" Jiang Heng asked in a low voice.

"I don't know the specifics. I've been in the county all year round, and I just came back. You know that." Zhang Jinpeng said, "But I heard that Mom had a big fight with them, and then I didn't contact them again."

Jiang Heng frowned. The uncles don't live in this village, but they have always been on good terms. Why did they suddenly quarrel?

Does the reason for the quarrel have anything to do with Mom asking him for money and calling him home with unusual enthusiasm, even being friendly to the strange guests he brought back?

"Brother, I also want to ask you a question." Zhang Jinpeng said again, "What's going on between you and that...that colleague?"

Jiang Heng didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Zhang Jinpeng.

Zhang Jinpeng was always in awe of this brother, he lowered his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it, but I feel that your relationship with him is a little... good."

Jiang Heng hesitated, but still did not confess to Zhang Jinpeng, he patted Zhang Jinpeng's shoulder with a smile: "Don't think too much."

At lunch time, Jiang's mother still showed extraordinary enthusiasm, especially for Wu Zheng.Wu Zheng was flattered. Although Jiang's mother had a heavy accent and communication was a little difficult, he was naturally cute and very attractive to the elders. He made Jiang's mother smile with a smile.

After dinner, Wu Zheng said that he was going to leave. He had discussed with Jiang Heng before, and in order not to let Jiang's mother suspect him, he would not stay for a moment. Unexpectedly, Jiang's mother held Wu Zheng's hand very reluctantly: "Good boy! , stay a little longer."

Wu Zheng hesitated immediately, knowing that he would have to go to the county hotel to stay alone when he left. In a small place, all the shops are closed on the New Year’s Eve. He really lives in a lonely place. It would be good to stay with Jiang Heng for a while. of.

Jiang Heng pursed his lips. He also felt sorry for Wu Zheng, but he couldn't take the risk of being seen by his family.His intelligence was inherited from his parents, so he never dared to underestimate her when he was fighting with his mother.

Jiang Heng said cautiously: "He still has to go back to his home, so he can't stay longer."

"Call your family and go back later." Jiang's mother said, "I'll make dinner early, and you can leave after eating. It would be nice if you can go home and eat dumplings in time."

Wu Zheng looked at Jiang Heng eagerly again, Jiang Heng thought, it doesn't matter anymore, it's just two different things to ask for money and test your orientation. If you want money, he will give his parents twenty thousand red envelopes. If he really said something about Wu Zheng, or if he wanted to do something too much, he would stay here and no one would be able to do anything to Wu Zheng.Wu Zheng spent the New Year's Eve alone in a small hotel in the county town. It was really miserable.

"It's fine." Jiang Heng glanced at Wu Zheng, "Tell the family, if there is no problem at home, stay here for a while, and I will take you back to your place later."

Wu Zheng nodded immediately, not daring to react too much.

After dinner, Wu Zheng sat cross-legged on the kang to watch a drama. Mother Jiang asked Jiang Heng to come out and talk. Jiang Heng didn't want to go, but he felt that he had to go, so he told Wu Zheng to wait here obediently, and then went to the hut Fuck it.

"How is your life in the imperial capital this year?" Mother Jiang asked.

"It's okay, that's it." Jiang Heng replied cautiously.

Jiang's mother and Jiang Heng had always been at odds. Regarding Jiang Heng's cold words, she was rarely reasonable, and then she asked directly: "Who is that child named Wu?"

Jiang Heng was shocked.

Jiang Heng barely controlled all his expressions, and met his mother's gaze: "My colleague."

"Your colleague is from your hometown." Mother Jiang said, "But he can't even understand our language?"

Jiang Heng's heart went cold for a moment.

Sure enough, Mom was trying to find out just now, and Wu Zheng's acting skills are really not good, it should be said that there are many flaws, as long as she has the heart, she will be able to find clues.

what to do.Jiang Heng's mind turned quickly, if his mother wanted to beat him up, then so be it, as long as she didn't bully Wu Zheng.

When he came back this time, he was actually planning to come out, but he didn't expect to come out with his little partner.

Unexpectedly, Jiang's mother sighed kindly: "It's not easy for the young man to come here with you during the New Year's Eve."

Jiang Heng was taken aback.

"Let's stay." Jiang's mother said, "Have a meal, everyone pretends not to know anything, leave early tomorrow, don't let me see him again."

This time Jiang Heng was completely stupid.

Can't believe my ears.

From his mother's point of view, this sentence is already a huge concession.

Eating at the same table during the Chinese New Year is... recognition of Wu Zheng.

Jiang Heng felt ecstatic in his heart, but at the same time he felt, is it really that simple?

The experience of competing with his mother for many years made him suspicious of this, but his mother's current attitude, that kind of tolerance and understanding, that kind of mother's kindness, that kind of helpless tolerance, is what Jiang Heng dreams of having.

He didn't want to believe it was all fake.

So Jiang Heng asked: "Why are you arguing with your uncles?"

When Jiang's mother heard this, she put her hand on Jiang Heng's shoulder. It had been a long time, and this was their first physical contact.

"You have your secret, and mom has mom's secret, okay?" Mother Jiang said.

Jiang Heng didn't know why he nodded in a daze.

When returning to the room, Jiang Heng walked in a daze, he couldn't even understand what happened just now.

Mom easily saw through his relationship with Wu Zheng.

Mom accepted?

It seemed that suddenly, the relationship between him and Mom softened.

But... Mom broke up with the three uncles.

Is this détente real, and is this acceptance real?

Throughout the afternoon, even until evening, no one came to disturb the two of them. The tile-roofed house where Jiang Heng's parents lived had two bedrooms, east and west. The two of them were in the east bedroom. Jiang Heng wanted to help with cooking, but was driven back by his mother , Whispered to let him accompany Wu Zheng.

Jiang Heng felt even more tormented.

He wanted to believe his mother so much, but deep down in his heart he felt that all of this was unreasonable, and there must be demons when things go wrong.

But even if it is a "demon", it is a fantasy dream, and this fantasy dream is too beautiful. An ordinary family life is what Jiang Heng longed for but could not have. He really wants to believe that all this is true and wants to close He lay down with his eyes closed, but his body couldn't relax no matter what.

Wu Zheng asked him quietly what happened, Jiang Heng whispered to Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng comforted him with a smile and said, no, the world is not so dangerous, it is your mother.

Jiang Heng bit his lip, and it took a long time before he sighed and said, I hope so.

After a while, they started to cook, but Jiang's mother was still considerate and didn't let the two of them come out to help, but there was no soy sauce at home, so Jiang's mother sent Zhang Jinpeng to buy it. The small shop in the village was closed, so he had to go to the county town.

Wu Zheng said proactively, "Shall we drive to the county?"

"No, no, no!" Jiang's mother immediately pushed Wu Zheng back, "You are a guest, just sit here! Hang Heng, don't move, stay with your colleague!"

"Thank you, Auntie." Wu Zheng said, he really felt that Mama Jiang was not as scary as Jiang Heng described. Although she was a bit of a philistine, she was still kind. He felt that there must be a misunderstanding between Jiang Heng and Mama Jiang.

But Jiang Heng kept frowning, looking even more anxious.

Accidents happened one after another. Just as she found out that there was no soy sauce, Mama Jiang poked the spatula because she was cooking too hard.There was only one spatula, so I had to go out to buy it quickly. Wu Zheng tried to help again, but was rejected by Jiang's mother again. This time she said, "We two go buy it, you just wait here."

Then she served Wu Zheng a bowl of stew with a wooden spoon: "If you are hungry, eat some of this first, and wait for us to come back."

After saying that, Jiang's mother left with Jiang Heng's stepfather. Immediately, only Jiang Heng and Wu Zheng were left in the small tiled house, as well as a large pot that had been extinguished and a bowl of steaming stew.

The countryside is very cold in winter, the paper stretched outside the windows is covered with ice flakes, and a layer of frost has formed inside the windows. Looking out under such translucent conditions, you can see the black night, and there are stars all over the sky. In contrast to the sounds of dogs barking and chickens barking, it seemed that the house of the two of them was a bit lonely.

Wu Zheng broke the silence: "Isn't it too embarrassing to make the New Year's Eve dinner like this?"

"No." Jiang Heng said, "This matter is absolutely wrong."

Wu Zheng was taken aback: "Why?"

"I can't say it, and I don't know what it would be like to leave the two of us here alone, but it's just...so weird." Jiang Heng stood up and paced the room anxiously, "I feel very uneasy. No, let's not stay here."

"Brother Jiang, I think you really think too much." Wu Zheng said, "This is your home, your own mother, why don't you believe him?"

"I want to believe her more than you do!" Jiang Heng suddenly raised his voice.

Wu Zheng was taken aback, Jiang Heng was stunned for a few seconds after shouting this sentence, and then slowly calmed down, sighed and said, "I'm sorry."

Wu Zheng shook his head, feeling a little sad, not because Jiang Heng yelled at him, he couldn't tell what he was sad about.

Wu Zheng picked up the bowl of stewed pork vermicelli, picked up a piece of meat on the surface, and handed it to Jiang Heng's mouth: "Brother Jiang, you should eat something, it's too cold, eating something hot will make you feel better."

Jiang Heng let out a "hmm", lowered his head and wanted to eat with Wu Zheng's chopsticks, but just a second before he was about to bite down, his expression suddenly changed.

"Put it down." Jiang Heng said, his tone suddenly became very, very cold.

That kind of coldness is not pretending to be indifferent, but more like a kind of anger and despair from the heart.

Wu Zheng's hands trembled unconsciously, and he found that even Jiang Heng's expression changed.

He put the piece of meat down blankly, Jiang Heng took the chopsticks and poked the shiny maroon skin of the stewed meat. To Wu Zheng's surprise, there was a gap in the skin, even Wu Zheng could see it , This is a knife edge.

Why does the stew have a slit between the skin and the fat?And it's still very hidden, Wu Zheng didn't see it at all.

Jiang Heng's face became even uglier, and he cut off the whole piece of flesh along the knife edge.

The skin peeled off, and there were four and a half small white pills lying quietly on the glistening, oily fat.

"...What is this?" Wu Zheng took a while before recovering his language ability.

Jiang Heng shook his head, his face was terribly pale.

Most likely it was sleeping pills, and his parents couldn't get other medicines.

No matter what it is, a pill that is deliberately hidden in the stew in the hope that people will accidentally eat it is definitely not a good thing.

Jiang Heng's mother gave them medicine.

There was thunder in Wu Zheng's mind, because it was so unbelievable that he didn't even have any sense of reality, but he knew clearly that his hands were shaking.

Jiang Heng's face was extremely pale, but his expression was very calm, or it might be because of extreme anger and despair that he couldn't make any reaction.

At this moment, Jiang Heng's cell phone on the table rang.

The caller is Zhang Jinpeng.

Jiang Heng quickly pressed answer and speakerphone, and Zhang Jinpeng's nervous voice instantly filled the whole room: "Brother! Where are you!"

"At parents' place." Jiang Heng said calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Are your parents with you?" Zhang Jinpeng asked. At this time, Wu Zheng heard that his voice was shaking.

"Not here." Jiang Heng said.

"Come on, brother, you two should drive away now." Zhang Jinpeng said.

"Why?" Jiang Heng asked.

"I just found out that my dad owed a gambling debt." Zhang Jinpeng said, "They want to use your car to pay it off."

-

Jiang Heng stood up in an instant and grabbed Wu Zheng's arm. Wu Zheng finally recovered his full body functions when he heard the word "gambling debt".

The two of them didn't say anything. They put on their coats, picked up their bags, and walked out the door. Jiang Heng didn't hang up the phone when he left. He asked Zhang Jinpeng, "What's the specific situation? How did you know?"

"I just arrived at the small supermarket, and I heard the vegetable sellers discussing that the Zhang family in our village owed a lot of money. The Zhang family's daughter-in-law broke up with his three younger brothers because of borrowing money. The cashier's younger brother is a debt collector. "Zhang Jinpeng took a deep breath, as if to calm his trembling, and then said, "They also said that two days ago, the Zhang family finally agreed to pay off a gambling debt with the new car bought this year. I thought, Where did our family get the car? Isn't it the only one you drove back?"

This sentence was like a cold knife in the night wind. When Wu Zheng heard it, he just looked at the car parked near the door in the front yard. The car was covered with a thin layer of cold light in the night.

Thinking of the two pills in the bowl, Wu Zheng shivered shiveringly.

Therefore, those so-called understanding, persuasion, tolerance, and empathy are all for the purpose of stabilizing them and leaving this car behind.

So, Mom always knew what Jiang Heng wanted and wanted, but she simply refused to give it.

It's just a simple calculation on my son's head.

Jiang Heng swayed, Wu Zheng hurriedly supported him, Jiang Heng waved his hand, and pulled Wu Zheng into the car.

"Brother, are you outside!" Zhang Jinpeng shouted in a panic, "Don't worry about anything! Go away! I really didn't expect this to happen!"

"I know." Jiang Heng still said calmly, "Hang up first."

"Well." Zhang Jinpeng said, "Brother, you are safe and tell me. If you don't trust me, you can contact me again when you return to the imperial capital."

"Okay." Jiang Heng said shortly, hung up the phone and looked at Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng thought he would collapse, but at this moment Jiang Heng's eyes were extremely calm and determined in the night.

"You warm up the car, hurry up." Jiang Heng said, "I will find a way to open this door."

The iron gate in the countryside has two locks on the inside and outside. It doesn't take much thinking to know that Jiang Heng's parents locked the door from the outside before leaving. At this time, there was a knock on the door from the backyard.

Debt collection.

In other words, they came to steal the car.

Jiang Heng broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, the gate to the front yard was locked, he didn't know how to open it, if he ran into this group of people, it might not just be a matter of losing a car.Jiang Heng thought it was impossible, so he asked Wu Zhengyong to hit it. It shouldn't be a problem for the car to smash open a door with full power, but it's too dangerous. The car may lose control and crash into the opposite yard. A car accident of this degree would be life-threatening.

The back yard had gone from knocking to banging, and there was no doubt that the crowd would break in soon.

The night was cold, but Jiang Heng's forehead and back were covered with cold sweat. He thought that going home was just a family drama, but he didn't expect to encounter such a plot that could appear in a police movie.

There was a crack more than one centimeter wide in the big iron gate, but Jiang Heng couldn't stretch out his hand, the crack was too narrow even for a tree branch.

Chopsticks!Jiang Heng suddenly thought, he can get the chopsticks!

But is it too late to turn back now?Will you run into those people?

Just when Jiang Heng decided to fight, he saw a long hairpin on the ground.Very old wooden hairpin, made from chopsticks.

very familiar.

My mother loved wearing it when I was a child.

These thoughts flashed through Jiang Heng's mind like meteors, he had no room for thinking, his hands were shaking all the time, when he heard the back door being knocked open with a loud noise and was drowned in the sound of fireworks, he stuck out the hairpin He tried his best to open the door latch with the hairpin.

With a sound of "clang", the door latch fell, and Jiang Heng desperately pushed open the big iron door. Before the iron door was fully opened, Wu Zheng had already slammed the accelerator, and the car scraped the heavy iron door and drove out of the yard. Make a toothsome creaking sound.

The left rear door of the car was open, and Jiang Heng jumped on it immediately. The moment the door closed, he turned his head and saw a person walking out of his house in the night, like a ghost from hell.

At this moment, Jiang Heng lost all his strength and even his thinking ability. He knelt on the ground in front of his seat, trembling uncontrollably.

Wu Zheng drove, not knowing where he was going, he followed the place with light in a daze, and went to the distance.He looked in the rearview mirror worriedly, but there was no sign of Jiang Heng in it. He asked nervously, "Brother Jiang, are you okay?"

"I can carry it." Jiang Heng said.

But his voice was so hoarse that it was almost silent.

Don't talk about Jiang Heng, even Wu Zheng couldn't understand it, almost bursting, he wanted to know if Jiang Heng's mother considered their lives when she put medicine in the dish?Recalling the heart-pounding knock on the door, he felt chills down his spine. For Jiang Heng, this feeling would only be more painful, because the person who wanted to harm him was his own mother.

A toll booth finally appeared on the expressway, which made Wu Zheng realize that he had driven to the city closest to the county seat.After passing the expressway, he stopped in the emergency parking lane. Now that both of them were exhausted and frightened, it was impossible to drive back to the imperial capital overnight.

"Can I find a hotel in the city?" Wu Zheng asked Jiang Heng for his opinion.

"It's all up to you." Jiang Heng said.His current voice broke Wu Zheng's heart.

Wu Zheng located a hotel in the navigation, and drove there. On the way, he heard Jiang Heng on the phone, probably with Zhang Jinpeng. Jiang Heng didn't talk much, except for the tone words "um" and "ah", he only said two words. In one sentence, one sentence is "call the police" and the other sentence is "I believe in you".

Three or ten minutes later, the two sat in the hotel room without turning on the lights. After Jiang Heng entered the room, he sat down on the seat by the window without saying a word or moving a muscle.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have persuaded you before." Wu Zheng said, hugging Jiang Heng tightly from behind, "I'm so holy, I didn't expect this to happen."

"It's not your Holy Mother, it's their grandma..." Jiang Heng didn't continue.

The two of them didn't speak any more, and they stood silently. After a long time, Wu Zheng suddenly felt hot water drops falling on the back of his hand.

"Brother Jiang." Wu Zheng called Jiang Heng in a low voice, wanting to comfort him, but he didn't know what to comfort him.

Is it really comforting to be calculated by one's own mother?

Jiang Heng sniffled and gave up covering up the fact that he had cried. He wiped his eyes and said, "I heard people say that once you get involved in gambling, family members are no longer family members. Now I believe it, really. That's right."

Wu Zheng could only hug him tighter, he wanted to say that although you don't have family over there, you still have me.

"I asked my brother to call the police, and I will not go back." Jiang Heng said, "From today on, whether they live or die has nothing to do with me."

"Yeah." Wu Zheng nodded, trying hard to warm up Jiang Heng's cold hands.

"It's really funny." Jiang Heng said again with emotion.

Wu Zheng heard this, put his face on his back, and said softly but firmly: "You still have me."

"Thank you." Jiang Heng held Wu Zheng's hand back and closed his eyes.This is his heartfelt thanks.

If it wasn't for Wu Zheng, he wouldn't be able to survive the night, and would definitely collapse.

He never thought that his stepfather would become a "gambling dog", and he never thought that his mother would take the plan on him without hesitation.

If I had to say a little consolation, there was a big iron lock on the front door of the yard, but it was not locked.

Jiang Heng's mother was always careful, but she left a hairpin in front of the door.

The sleeping pills are hidden deep in the skin, but it's not invisible at all, and if you think about it carefully, there is a high probability that you can taste it if you eat it.

Putting all these together does not seem like a coincidence, perhaps it can be said to be the only remaining evidence that Jiang Heng's mother still has a little love for him.

But it was just to keep Jiang Heng from hating her so much.

Jiang Heng slowed down for a long time, and the night gradually calmed down his emotions that were on the verge of collapse, and he could clearly feel the silhouette and temperature of the person hugging him behind him.

"Go and see my dad tomorrow." Jiang Heng said, "My dear dad. Although he can't entertain you, at least he won't harm us."

Feeling that Wu Zheng behind him breathed a sigh of relief, he let go of him, dawdled in front of him, and gave him a tight, caring, loving hug.

-

On the morning of the first day of the new year, there were many people in the cemetery who came to worship their ancestors. This was the first time Wu Zheng had been to such a place.

It was very late yesterday and Jiang Heng didn't sleep. Wu Zheng wanted to stay with him, but Jiang Heng refused and pointed at him to drive. Heng was still sitting by the bed, thinking that he hadn't slept all night.

Wu Zheng was very worried about Jiang Heng's condition, but felt that Jiang Heng's reaction was still within the normal range when something like this happened, and it would be bad for him to intervene too much, so he got up early and drove to the cemetery according to Jiang Heng's request.

As he approached the cemetery, he saw that Jiang Heng's expression had calmed down a little, and Wu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Heng's biological father's tomb is in a small corner of the cemetery, very inconspicuous, and correspondingly very quiet.Although the black-and-white photo on the tombstone is not as handsome as Jiang Heng, its elegant and gentle temperament is very similar to Jiang Heng's, and it even makes people feel peaceful just looking at the smiling person in the photo.

Jiang Heng stayed in front of the tomb for a long time, chatting with his father in a small way, and drinking with his father with water instead of wine.He introduced Wu Zheng to his father, saying that this is my lover, I want to spend my life with him, and hope to get my father's blessing.

Hearing what Jiang Heng said, Wu Zheng timidly looked up at Father Jiang's photo. The man in the photo was still smiling gently, as if saying, then you have to take good care of my son.

I will.

Wu Zheng looked at Jiang Heng's side face and thought.

I will be his lover and also his family.I will do my best to love him and treat him as well as he treats me.

There was fine snow in the sky, and Wu Zheng leaned closer to Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng glanced at him, smiled, and filled the two glasses in front of him with water.

Then, under his father's gentle gaze, he drank a cup of wine with Wu Zheng.
