Mr. Bai seems to have a secret

"Aunt Wang, I've finished shipping all the goods, so I'll go first." Sui Han moved the last box of mineral water into the supermarket, turned around and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and counted money at the cashier counter. woman said.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Seeing that he was about to leave, the woman called Aunt Wang hurriedly put the banknotes in her hand into the cash register, then took out a cloth bag from the drawer of the cash register and handed it to the old man. Han said, "Here, take this with you."

Sui Han opened the cloth bag and took a look, and saw that there were some pastries in simple packaging, so he asked, "This is..."

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "I made this myself. It's clean and hygienic. It's still durable. Give some to your mother. By the way, when you pass across the street later, remember to buy a bunch of flowers." In the past."

"Okay, thank you."

Sui Han put the pastries made by Aunt Wang in the basket of his bicycle, went to the flower shop across the street and bought a bunch of perfume lilies that were in full bloom, and then rode to the cemetery.

Suihan's mother died on a day that was very close to the Ching Ming Festival, and when I came to the cemetery, I could still see many grave-sweeping people on the eve of the Ching Ming Festival.He walked towards his mother's tombstone with flowers and cakes in his arms, but he met an unexpected person in front of his mother's grave.

Before that, he had never seen Nian Guohua while sweeping the grave, nor had he heard him say that he came to sweep his mother's grave.

Nian Guohua stood in front of the grave in solemn black clothes, and Sui Han stood not far behind him obliquely, watching him quietly without moving forward.

He originally wanted to wait until Nian Guohua was gone before going over by himself, but there was a new grave-sweeper at the place where he was standing.He had no choice but to give up his position, but this figure was exposed to Nian Guohua's sight, and it would only make him look more ugly if he dodged, so he just had to bite the bullet and walk up.

"Dad." Suihan walked up to Nian Guohua, and greeted him indifferently as before, but Nian Guohua turned his head to look at him, and just said 'hmm'.

After being relatively silent for more than ten seconds, Sui Han squatted down and placed the cakes made by Aunt Wang neatly on the white porcelain plate in front of the grave, and then put the perfume lily he brought in front of the grave.Only now did I realize that there were two bouquets of flowers next to the bouquet of perfume lilies, a bouquet of white roses and a bouquet of light yellow chrysanthemums.

Sui Han only thought it was sent by Nian Guohua, and didn't think much about it. He actually had a lot of things to say to his mother, but because of Nian Guohua's presence, those words were really hard to say.Kneeling in front of the grave, clasped his hands together, and silently said in his heart what he wanted to tell his mother, he stood up. In the same year, Guohua said, "Why are you here?"

"Come and see your mother," Nian Guohua said.

"Why did you come here this year? Didn't you never come before?" Regarding his mother's matter, he has never been able to forgive Nian Guohua.Suihan would respect Nian Guohua when he met him on weekdays, send him living expenses on time every month, and sometimes even help him clean up the mess, simply because Nian Guohua is his father.

Sometimes Sui Han really wanted to sever ties with his father simply, but he couldn't bear it. Probably it would be difficult to really sever the blood relationship.

"I'm here, every year," Nian Guohua said, "Every year on this day, I will find various reasons to go out and come here for a while, but you don't know it."

Sui Han looked at Nian Guohua in amazement, obviously, he didn't believe his words, he had no way to forgive a person who had an affair so that he didn't see his wife for the last time before she died, and even later married his mistress into the house , and there is no way to believe it.This man didn't even look at his wife when she was dying, but now he says he visits his wife's grave every year?

Nian Guohua turned his head, looked at Sui Han's expression, and said, "It's normal for you not to believe it. Even more than ten years ago, I didn't believe it, because I always thought that I didn't love your mother, but just Habit. But...until the moment I lost everything, I didn't know what a good woman your mother is, so I regretted it, why didn't I cherish her well at the beginning. "

I don't know if it was the atmosphere around him that infected him, or if he really felt something, but Nian Guohua's attitude is quite different from before. He seems to have cast off the hard shell of his body, and has become a person who truly repented of the past. man.

However, Suihan experienced things similar to his mother, which made him empathize with his mother, so he was a little unmoved by Nian Guohua's words.He stared at his mother's smile on the photo in the middle of the tomb, and said, "People are gone, so what's the point of talking about them."

"Yes," Nian Guohua sighed softly, and looked at Suihan, "You haven't been home for a long time, Lulu misses you very much."

Suihan remembered that it should have been more than two years. The last time he went home was during the Spring Festival last year, and it had been nearly a year since the last time he saw Nian Lu, that is, the time he bid farewell to Lu's school last year. year and a half.

But he was not sure whether Bai Muchen had given up, so he didn't dare to go back rashly.

So he said to Nian Guohua: "You can call me when you have time. As for whether you will go back or not... I still have something to do, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go home yet."

"Really, then do your best." Nian Guohua patted Suihan on the shoulder, "I'm going home."

"Well," Suihan nodded, and when he caught sight of the light yellow chrysanthemums, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Nian Guohua, "Are you sending the two bouquets?"

Nian Guohua frowned slightly, and pointed to the bouquet of chrysanthemums: "Didn't you bring these?"

Sui Han shook his head: "No..."

But if neither of them sent the bouquet, who sent the flowers?

Later, I asked the staff, and the staff vaguely said that it was probably sent by a tall man, and he left after staying here for a short time.Sui Han guessed that it might be from her mother's natal family. After all, apart from her natal family and them, no one would remember her.

After sweeping the tomb, he saw that he still had plenty of time, so he went back to Aunt Wang's store to help for a while, and then returned home from get off work in the evening.

Now working in a small supermarket, the salary is not as good as before. The small salary not only includes his own living expenses, but also has to send money to Su Shaonan and raise a cat, so he can no longer be like before. In that way, a person rents a house to live in.

He rented one of the three bedrooms and one living room. The living room was shared. He shared the room with an otaku named Zhang Meng. The other room was always vacant.

Zhang Meng's name sounds very fierce, but in fact he is not fierce at all. Contrary to his name, he is very thin and not tall. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, his hair is a bit long, and his complexion is a little pale. It looked like he had no strength. He stayed at home almost all day, and never went out unless he had to. Sui Han didn't know what his job was.

Once before, he really couldn't bear to see the living room becoming dirty and messy, so he did a big cleaning. When he was cleaning outside Zhang Meng's door, he accidentally glanced inside and saw a laptop with a large screen on his desk. , Zhang Meng was holding a board and a pen to sketch. The magic is that the pen draws on the board, but the pattern will be displayed on the screen in front of him.Sui Han originally wanted to ask Zhang Meng if he wanted to clean the room for him, but Zhang Meng refused and was kicked out.

Zhang Meng didn't communicate with Sui Han very much, and most of the time, he didn't say a word when he saw him. Naturally, Sui Han wouldn't talk to him if he didn't talk to Sui Han.And Sui Han didn't like him very much, because Zhang Meng once said in front of him that he thought the briquettes looked ominous.

He could understand that some people don't like cats, but he didn't want to give up the briquettes, and it would be troublesome to find a house, so Suihan kept the briquettes in his room and tried not to let them come out.Even so, Zhang Meng always wants to express his dissatisfaction with the briquettes both openly and secretly.

When Sui Han came home, Zhang Meng locked himself in his room to draw as usual, and Sui Han didn't plan to bother him.After returning to his room, Suihan first released the briquettes that had been locked in the cage all day, let it roam freely in the room for a while, and then went to prepare cat food for it.He squatted next to the briquettes with his chin in his hands and watched it finish his meal before going to the kitchen to prepare his own dinner.

There are two bathrooms in this house, usually Sui Han and Zhang Meng occupy one each, after dinner he cleaned up the dishes and went to take a bath, after washing off the tiredness of the whole day under hot water, Sui Han went back to the room , lying on the bed, and had no intention of entertaining, and fell asleep after the hair dried.

I slept soundly that night, mainly because the briquettes have been relatively quiet these days, not screaming or rolling around like before.

The next day, Suihan got up early to go to work again. He now works in a small supermarket near his home, which is relatively easy. On weekdays, he just helps purchase, move, and tally goods. When the proprietress, Aunt Wang, is away Helping with the cashier checkout and the like, the salary is not too high.

Speaking of which, it was purely by fate that he would work here with Aunt Wang.He had just arrived here at that time, and he was not familiar with the place, and he didn't know where the house was more cost-effective, and he didn't know what job to do.During that time, I found a hotel that cost 40 yuan a night, and slept under a damp quilt for a few days.

Then one night when he was hungry, he took the briquettes with a rope and ran to a nearby noodle shop to eat noodles.As a result, halfway through eating the noodles, the briquettes somehow broke free from the rope and ran out. When he was about to catch up, he saw the briquettes being picked up by a passing middle-aged woman, and that person was Aunt Wang.

It is said that Sui Han reminded her of her son.This was the reason why Aunt Wang kept him to work, and she also took the initiative to help him find a house.Speaking of this, Sui Han is still a little puzzled. After all, Aunt Wang's son is alive and well, and it is said that he is only 25 or [-] years old.

The author has something to say: To be honest, Hanhan’s father is not a very positive person, even if he repents now, he is not a positive person, because there is no way to make up for mistakes by apologizing and confessing.

The reason why I brought him out in this chapter is not to whitewash him, but because I feel that emmmm wrote him too impersonally in the previous chapters, and now I want to make him look like a person
