Cinderella's Gypsophila

Another snow.

Seeing, the year is approaching.

How did you spend the Chinese New Year this year?Qi Shengbin was very troubled.

In previous years, he would have taken his wife and children back to his hometown in the countryside.But what about this year?

Many elders in his rural hometown watched him grow up.All of a sudden, he changed his daughter-in-law and picked up a cheap son. The three aunts and six wives will definitely ask this and that, and gossip endlessly.

Qi Shengbin was afraid of those relatives.

Not knowing what to do, I called my mother.

The old lady: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to see me, an old woman, and I don't want to see you either! But you should see Xiaoyue no matter what! I haven't had many phone calls for more than half a year. Is there a father like you? She is your dear daughter!"

Qi Shengbin: "Yes, yes, Mom, I don't want to see you."

"Well then, I'll take Xiaomeng and the others in a few days..."

Old lady: "What? You still want to take that woman home for the New Year?"

"I tell you, unless I die, that woman will never enter my house!"

……

Meng Xinlan was also unhappy.

She went downstairs to do some shopping in the morning and met the downstairs neighbor Yu Qing's mother.

The wicked will always be tortured by the wicked.

Meng Xinlan had never seen such a gaudy woman as Yu Qingma.

He is almost 40 years old, with big wavy hair, a short leather skirt and a leopard-print leather jacket, and pink lipstick.However, her husband, who is big and rough, butchers pigs in a meat joint factory, still thinks she is gorgeous, and he is always proud of her.

Yu Qing's mother and Qi Yan's mother who lived upstairs had been neighbors for ten years, but they were just acquaintances.

Yu Qing's mother is flamboyant and hot, but Qi Yan's mother is introverted and honest, and she doesn't talk much.

In addition, the two children are the same age and class, everyone praises Qi Yan for being smart, but Yu Qing is stupid, and Yu Qing's mother is sour, and she doesn't want to have more contact with the upstairs.

However, even though she was not familiar with Qi Yan's mother, she also hated Meng Xinlan very much!

Any original partner in the world will have a natural hostility towards creatures like mistress.

What's more, it's this kind of vixen who forces an honest woman to jump off a building. Which original partner can look at her pleasing to the eye?

Meeting each other on a narrow road, Yu Qing's mother: "Hey, isn't this Xiaomeng? I haven't seen it in a few days, and it has become a lot more rounded. Could it be?"

Women are said to be mellow, who can be happy.

"If you have one, hurry up and give birth. How happy you are to have both children like ours. At your age, you can't give birth again!"

Meng Xinlan became even more frustrated, and retorted: "No need, one son is enough, the daughter is going to be married off, and she will be raised by others anyway."

Yu Qing's mother: "Oh? That's not necessarily the case. Girls are rich and expensive now, and they can still recruit. In the future, I may not know whose son will be raised by my family. Hehehe~ Isn't it good to be prosperous?"

At this moment, there were a few car sounds downstairs.

It was Yu Qingma's husband from the meat joint factory.

In broad daylight, her husband triumphantly drove a small pickup and brought two workers to move things down from above.

Yu Qing's mother's eyes lit up immediately, and regardless of Meng Xinlan's resistance, she dragged her downstairs to have a look: "Look, how is it! It's a computer! How big is it! My husband bought it to help the children learn, and we can't let the children lose On the starting line!"

Yu Qing's mother proudly put her hands on her hips.

That look seemed to be saying, my family can afford a computer, can your family afford it?

……

Meng Xinlan went upstairs feeling aggrieved.

After entering the door, I heard Qi Shengbin and his mother on the phone again, and I was immediately fired up, and immediately had a big fight with Qi Shengbin.

Her voice is really high-pitched.

Qi Shengbin was so disturbed that he had no choice but to coax him, and took him to the street to buy things.

Everyone in the small county is not very rich, and there is no such thing as luxury goods or first-line big names.Generally speaking, women go shopping in the same way—buy a good woolen sweater, a fashionable skirt, or a versatile bag.

Generally a few dozen, one or two hundred, it can be done.

But this time, Meng Xinlan passed by the food and clothing area without looking sideways, and directly took Qi Shengbin to the newly opened fifth floor of the mall, walked past a pile of refrigerators and color TVs, and came to the computer area.

She wiped away her tears: "Yu Qing's family downstairs bought them all! Our family has to buy them too!"

"Everyone has it, so we must! Our son is much better than theirs!"

Qi Shengbin: "All right, buy, buy, buy!"

However, after agreeing, he really saw the price of the desktop computer.

It was two thousand and one year.

Qi Shengbin's salary for running a truck is over a thousand, which is already considered above-average salary in a small county town.

The price of a desktop computer is more than 5000.

But most of his savings had already been given to Meng Xinlan. After they got together to support a family of four and spent a lot of money, how could he come up with so much money?

……

Meng Xinlan didn't care.

In short, Qi Shengbin agreed, and she urged and made trouble.

Qi Shengbin had no choice but to work overtime to earn money.

It's approaching the end of the year, and the weather is cold and the roads are slippery.He transported goods day and night for several days in a row, busy and tired.One day, I ate cold steamed buns with a boxed lunch, but my colleague’s wife came to deliver the meal. The food and smoke were served with braised pork, and other people’s wives were gentle and considerate.

But every time the one in his family called from home, it was money, money, money.

He didn't dare to say anything, so he could only hold back and endure.

……

Twelfth lunar month 24, small night.

Qi Shengbin called the old lady again.

He really didn't dare to go back to the countryside to face the questions from his seven aunts and eight aunts, so he simply decided to bring his mother and daughter home for the New Year this year.

This not only solves the problem, but also saves my face in the countryside.

Putting down the phone, Meng Xinlan was unwilling: "Take it? Where do they live?"

"The Chinese New Year hotel is so expensive, can you afford it? Our house is so big, do you want your mother and your daughter to live on the sofa? Or do you want me and my son to live on the sofa? I can't live here, tell you!"

As soon as she started talking, she couldn't stop, and took advantage of the trend to force Qi Shengbin.

All kinds of grievances and dissatisfaction, from the old lady to the daughter, and then to why the computer has not been bought yet.

Qi Shengbin didn't say a word, and let her talk listlessly.

At the dinner table behind the two of them, it was a different scene.

Qi Yan rested his chin, secretly poking and gloating.

It's good to chatter, it's wonderful to chatter, and it's croaking.It's best for you two to be like this every day in the future.Perfect match, deserved it.

He's actually finished eating.

But he didn't leave the table, he was fiddling with a rectangular black and white sesame candy, and peeking at Cheng Cheng with malicious intent.

On New Year's Eve, eat sugar melon.

Tanggua is sesame candy.

Very cheap, but sweet and fragrant.

"Hey, do you want to try some too?"

Qi Yan sometimes felt that he was the one feeding the rabbits.

Knowing that Brother Rabbit can only eat grass and nothing else, he still likes to eat all kinds of delicacies, so he insists on teasing him.

Recently, he really likes to tease Cheng Sheng.

He had to carry Meng Xinlan behind his back every time, making Cheng Cheng look helpless and embarrassed.

Especially interesting.

"It's very sweet, just take a bite?"

Hahaha, Cheng Cheng is annoyed, he is annoyed!

Qi Yan grinned.

What a dream, extreme joy begets sorrow.

The chair swayed, and with a "bang", the porcelain bowl in hand fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

Qi Shengbin, who had been silent since just now, roared in an instant, shaking the sky.Before Qi Yan could react, he was slapped hard on the head, and his ears buzzed loudly: "What's going on! It's Chinese New Year, Qi Yan, what are you doing?!"

For a moment, dead still.

Qi Yan didn't understand.There was a burning pain, and I could only hear my own rapid heartbeat.

Although, he was often beaten and scolded during these days, but every time before, there was a reason for it.

But this time?

This time, just because you accidentally broke a bowl?

My arm hurts.

Before he had time to think about it, Qi Shengbin had already grabbed his arm and pulled him up.

The body was hugged, Cheng Cheng: "Uncle! It's just a bowl! Sui Sui is safe!"

Qi Shengbin: "Xiao Sheng, it has nothing to do with you, get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way! Let this little bastard hit the New Year's bowl badly, who is he trying to curse to death? I'll beat this little bastard to death today!"

Meng Xinlan: "It's not auspicious to play bowls during Chinese New Year. There used to be a woman in my house. Her husband died after eating bowls on New Year's Eve. A few days later, her father-in-law and mother-in-law were poisoned by gas..."

Qi Shengbin was even angrier when he heard this: "Quickly get out of the way, it's useless to protect him!"

Cheng Cheng: "Woo."

Meng Xinlan: "Qi Shengbin? You're out of your league, you dare to hit my son! Xiaosheng, are you okay? How are you doing!"

A pot of porridge.

Arguing, crying, blaming each other.

Qi Yan slowly closed his eyes.

In the ear, there are countless noisy voices, and it is difficult to breathe.

The temples chug and jump.One minute and one second, tick tock.It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like only a while, he didn't know when and how he got back to his room.

I only remember Cheng Cheng's voice, gentle and anxious in my ears.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, breathe."

"Xiao Yan."

The boy's voice was hoarse, his gray eyes were full of worry, and he gently wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Qi Yan gritted his teeth and avoided, he didn't want to cry at all.

Such a bastard father is not worth his tears at all!

But, why is there no way to control the tears in my eyes, and I can't stop it.I can't stop clenching my teeth.

"I just, just..."

he said, sobbing intermittently.Hearing his own voice, he felt ridiculous.

"Just broke a bowl, that's all."

Cheng Cheng: "I know, I know."

"That bowl is not expensive. It is the cheapest, ordinary bowl in the vegetable market."

"I know! Xiao Yan, I know!"

So, so... How much does his dad hate him, that he can be treated like this just for breaking a bowl?

Qi Yan's chest heaved and he was speechless.

What kind of mentality did the person he called his father have in order to let him be born in this world? !

He doesn't understand.He hugged his knees and buried his head deeply.

I thought I could warm myself, but instead it seemed like I was going to be drowned, and more sadness came to my heart.

Until Cheng Cheng shook him lightly.

He raised his head again and slowly stretched out his hand. Under the dim light, his black pupils were full of pain and crystal.

... want, who can, hug him.

He couldn't stand it by himself.I want someone to hug him and comfort him.

Cheng Cheng hugged him.

"Xiao Yan, breathe."

He hugged him, tight, strong and warm through the bones of the sweater.

"Xiao Yan, don't be sad. Think about what you like and what you want." He rubbed against him lightly and gently.

"I will compensate you for the grievance he caused you. There are red envelopes for the New Year. I will buy you everything you want, and I will buy you everything. No grievance, we are not wronged, huh?"

A warm hug is not comforting comfort at all.

Qi Yan also gently hugged his waist with his backhand, smiling bitterly with tears in his eyes.

Not much consolation.

But it did have a soothing effect.

Qi Yan leaned in his brother's arms, trying to calm down, feeling like a broken bowl.His dad was responsible for breaking him, and his brother was responsible for carefully putting him back together.

Cheng Cheng is holding him now, very seriously.

As if afraid that he would be broken.

This person's side is now the only warm and safe place in his home.

He even thought, if this family could have no father, no Meng Xinlan, only brother.

There is only this boy who has only known him for a short time and has no blood relationship.

……

Qi Yan was wronged.

But still trying to swallow and calm down.

Thinking about tomorrow is another day.

In a few days, grandma and Xiaoyue will also come.Get your spirits up and greet them well.

In the middle of the night, it snowed.

At around two o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden loud noise, Qi Shengbin knocked open the door, and dragged Qi Yan from the bed without any explanation.

"Xiao Sheng, it's none of your business," he said, "Go ahead and sleep."

How could Cheng Sheng sleep again.

I hurriedly put on my clothes, opened the door, and a gust of cold wind rushed towards my face.

He gritted his teeth, and was about to chase him out, but he was sternly pulled back, and Meng Xinlan's sharp voice was next to his ear: "Xiao Sheng, what are you trying to do! How can you go out when it's so cold outside?"

At the same time, Qi Yan was in the snow.

His father got him up in the middle of the night because his coal house collapsed.The coal house was built by my grandfather 20 years ago, the roof was in disrepair for a long time, and it snowed heavily at night.

It was a very cold winter night in the early morning.

The snow is still falling, falling in pieces on the eyes and neck, very cold.

Qi Shengbin swung the flashlight and cursed, complaining about this and that, blaming Qi Yan for the collapse of the hut because he "beat the bowl and hit the mold", and kept ordering Qi Yan to move this and sweep that.

The moonlight dimmed.

The snow reflected the light of sporadic street lamps, and the fog condensed into clusters.

Qi Yan didn't speak, but tried hard to sweep the snow and move the coal.

My hands were so frozen that I could barely hold the shovel.

Qi Shengbin is still nagging, it's all your fault for being unlucky, sleepy to death, hurry up and don't be lazy, you only know whether to eat or not to work every day, you and your poor uncle who wasted money, and you have been enjoying life for ten years Fu, mother who does not earn a penny is exactly the same!

"..."

The surrounding branches clicked.

The snow was so heavy that it finally broke the branches.

Qi Yan raised his head, under the dim moonlight, his face was expressionless.

ten years.

His mother does not go to work, but she carefully teaches the two children at home, plans daily expenses, and keeps housework in order.

But Qi Shengbin was still talking, talking more and more vigorously.

He didn't notice at all that the young man's gaze was getting darker and colder, and he was getting closer and closer to him step by step from behind.

Just as he was spitting and chattering, he directly swung the shovel over.
