Thousand Willows

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, each family was still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year. The weather cleared up and the streets became more and more lively. Joyful songs and fast-paced melodies were played in the shopping malls, just like BGM.

Jiang Yizhong didn't come back overnight, but his mother, Aunt Qian, didn't care too much. On the one hand, it was because the child was getting older, and on the other hand, it was because she always had an inexplicable stubbornness in her heart. Because she felt that her youngest son was suffering in prison, she and Jiang Yizhong couldn't live this year too happily.But, in fact, Aunt Qian watched Jiang Yizhong become more and more silent. The pensive side face was indeed very similar to that man back then, and the arc of the lips that were always pressed together was even more similar.She herself couldn't tell whether her current feelings towards that person back then were hatred for irresponsibility, or hatred she couldn't wish for?But she knew that no matter which one it was, she had unintentionally transferred this feeling to Jiang Yizhong—they were so similar, and she knew that this child was also her own blood, but compared to her younger son, this son seemed to have no inheritance at all. He grew up like a curse full of malice, and his appearance moved closer to that man, even his short-sightedness was exactly the same.

I hate it, I can't be reconciled.Why, the man's child can live so well, but the husband's son is in the cell.Aunt Qian has had a hard time falling asleep every night recently. A lot of things from the past kept coming up all at once, making her head feel buzzing. She kept recalling and regretting, one after another, it was like being edited It’s the same as the movies in my heart. It starts playing in the order of the most painful in my heart. From childhood to adulthood, she has regretted too many things. Every step she takes is wrong, and the next step will continue to be wrong. It really corresponds to what the old man used to say "One step wrong, step by step wrong".But when did things get out of hand?It probably started from the first time I saw that handsome, well-mannered man... What happened next was like a sexual dream, but the sexual dream was just a dream after all. In that man's heart, there was something more important. I would rather abandon this erotic dream and go back, to the place where he came from.In order to go back, he resolutely took his marriage contract with another woman and left without looking back... What a fickle lover, he used to make vows and sweet words, but they were just fluffy books. Unfortunately, he was young and read few books. , I don't know that those sentences are just someone else's handwriting.At that time, I was even ready to die... But I met my future husband... Aunt Qian suddenly felt sweet and bitter in her heart. Her husband, such a good person, why can't he get it? God's favor, he has worked hard all his life, under great pressure, and endured the unbearable suffering of others, but he can always hug himself and the children with a smile, and support the sky with his shoulders and arms.Thinking of this, Aunt Qian couldn't help shedding tears. Although it had been a while since his death, she still felt that he was still in this house. After all, how could he be willing to leave this house behind?It's a pity that something like this happened to Jiang Yiming, and the more Aunt Qian thought about it, the more she felt sorry for her husband who had passed away.

Click—the sound of the door lock opening, it should be that Jiang Yizhong has returned.

Aunt Qian wiped away her tears.

"Mom, there is something I want to tell you."

At this time, Liu Minhui was already sitting in the car going back. The scenery outside the car window receded rapidly, and his heart was full of excitement. When he woke up this morning, Jiang Yizhong was fully dressed, and solemnly said that he decided to go abroad with him.In fact, Liu Minhui was also very worried last night. He didn't fall asleep all night. He was thinking about what to do if Jiang Yizhong refused him. He even thought about what to do if Jiang Yizhong insisted on breaking up. It was like playing chess in his heart. Step by step, he calculated several possibilities for the next step, how to deal with it, and several possibilities after dealing with it... Just like this, he was so sleepy that he couldn't bear it until dawn, and fell asleep.But before he fell asleep, he obviously felt that Jiang Yizhong beside him was still awake.As a result, receiving such good news early in the morning, Liu Minhui suddenly felt that spring was almost here.After discussing with each other, they decided that Liu Minhui would be in charge of going abroad, while Jiang Yizhong needed to take care of the matter at hand and find a suitable person to take over the next job.

When Liu Minhui arrived home, Qin Zhenzhu was talking with a girl.When Liu Minhui took a look, that girl looked quite familiar, but when he looked more closely, he looked a bit like the class president when he was in junior high school.

"Hey, aren't you Li Jing?" Liu Minhui was in a good mood, but at this moment he greeted him with a smile on his face.

"You still remember, we haven't seen each other for many years, right?" Li Jing's shoulder-length black hair was still the same as before, smooth and shiny.

"Yeah, why are you..." Liu Minhui said and glanced at his mother who was still sitting on the sofa.

"I met by chance when I went to the mall today, and she hasn't changed in so many years, so I recognized her immediately." Qin Zhenzhu said with a smile, "I haven't seen her for many years, so I brought her back to talk to me. "

Liu Minhui's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.Looking at the way his mother looked at Li Jing, it was clear that there was a plan.

"Then you guys have a good chat, I'm going back to my room..." Liu Minhui just wanted to slip away quickly.

"Minhui, just now your aunt asked me to play mahjong, and I'm going out now. You and Li Jing are classmates again, you will take her out for a meal later, and then send her home safely, okay? ?” Who would have thought that Qin Zhenzhu immediately resorted to the next move.

Liu Minhui was very unhappy. He knew what the hell was thinking, but he still suppressed a smile and said, "Okay, no problem." After speaking, he showed a grinning grin at Li Jing.

"Auntie, there's no need. I just have an appointment with a friend. I'll just call a car. You don't need to trouble yourself." Li Jing was also sensible, seeing the reluctance in Liu Minhui's heart.

"It's okay, it's okay, Minhui is fine anyway." Qin Zhenzhu said and glared at Liu Minhui.

"I'll take you to a place for dinner later, that sheep and scorpion is very good." Liu Minhui immediately stood between Li Jing and Qin Zhenzhu, said to Li Jing, and then turned around to urge Qin Zhenzhu to play mahjong.

When we arrived at the Yangxiezi hotpot restaurant, there were a lot of people in the restaurant. It seemed that many of them came out to have a meal with the whole family. After all, it was during the Spring Festival, and more and more people came out to eat.

"Hey, why did you meet my mother?" Liu Minhui finished ordering, and the two of them were holding hot soybean juice in their hands.

"Do you not believe in Auntie's version?" Li Jing smiled. She looks fair and of medium height, but has thin bones, a small face and a small head, making her look very small and delicate.

"I didn't say that." Liu Minhui took a sip of soybean juice.

"It's your eyes that tell me you think so." Li Jing smiled slyly, and continued, "Actually, it was your mother who called me and asked me to come over. The phone number is the one she graduated from before us." I found it in the address book issued by the class at that time."

"It's rare that she still remembers that we sent the address book..." Liu Minhui was a little speechless. Although he guessed that his mother didn't meet Li Jing by accident, he didn't expect this to be the case. Since his mother has reached this point, it shows that she really put her heart into this matter.

"Don't you wonder why she found me?" Li Jing smiled playfully. Although she was still in her third year of age at this time, her well-maintained skin and slender figure still looked like she was in her early twenties .

"Is it because you used to be the best student in our class?" Liu Minhui actually didn't care about Li Jing's question, all he was thinking about was how to get the fuck done.

"No, it's my aunt who called one by one with the address book. She got in touch with me when she knew I was still single." Li Jing's face suddenly became serious, and she looked at Liu Minhui and said, "What the hell are you doing?" What did you do to make your mother become so anxious all of a sudden? This New Year's Eve is still calling one by one for you. "

Liu Minhui was stunned for a moment, this was something he never expected, his face turned red and then pale, he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to say it.

At this time, the Yangxiezi pot was served by the waiter, and the steaming mist separated the two of them, blurring each other's face. Liu Minhui couldn't see the expression on Li Jing's face at this moment, but he clearly felt that the other party didn't seem to intend to Just be a simple spectator.

"Eat it while it's hot." Liu Minhui picked up his chopsticks and said to Li Jing, wanting to change the topic just now.

"You have really changed a lot. You were not like this before." The other party did not pick up the chopsticks, but said slowly.

"People always change, it's normal. By the way, didn't you go to other places to study later? I didn't expect you to come back this year." Liu Minhui continued to change the topic. He was still a little afraid of the woman in front of him. A weaker looking woman seems to have a pair of sharp eyes that can always see through others.

"At that time, my parents divorced, and I awarded the sentence to my mother. My mother immediately remarried to the south after the divorce, and I naturally followed." Li Jing said lightly, "I heard that my father was sick this year. Just come back and check, who knows that I just received a call from my aunt—I remember that I left my father’s mobile phone number at the time.”

Liu Minhui was a little surprised. In his impression, Li Jing was the class monitor, a top student who studied well, good-looking, very popular with boys, usually generous and decent in his actions, and he looked like someone who had seen the world.At that time, their middle school was considered a so-called "noble school", and those who could go to study were mostly from families with good conditions.At that time, Liu Minhui was much more withdrawn than he is now. He was always alone, and he didn't like to talk too much with others, so he didn't know much about the students in the class. of.Therefore, compared to other people, he knows the monitor the most, but his understanding is probably limited to knowing the person's name and appearance, and knowing that she is the monitor.

"I thought you transferred because you went to a better school..." Liu Minhui said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked more questions."

"You are indeed different from before. If you were in the past, you probably wouldn't ask anything, just sat on the sidelines and said nothing, and didn't even bother to look at people." Li Jing said, "I don't know why, look The way you are now always makes me feel a sense of defeat."

Liu Minhui looked at her with some doubts, not understanding what she meant.

Li Jing smiled and said, "It's just a pity that it's not me who made you into what you are now."

At this time, Liu Minhui saw the light from the other party's eyes that he had neglected before, the light of seeing something he liked, and he suddenly remembered that before Li Jing was about to transfer schools, he had asked him if it was true. I don't like to talk, is it true that I have no interest in others? At that time, her eyes were shining like this, but at that time, the two of them were just pure students. Even if some feelings happened, she would Can not really understand.

"It's really cold if you don't eat it anymore. It's not delicious if it's cold." Liu Minhui didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. If he continued to talk about it, he might make the other person feel even more sad. Instead of doing this, it's better not to talk about it.Besides, I know how painful it must be to be rejected by the person I like, and the failure of secret love is better than the failure of open love.

"Are you really planning to send me away with this sheep and scorpion?" Li Jing didn't continue to dwell on the topic just now, but changed the subject, "Auntie told me that you are still single, and you are too busy with work to have time to date. Let me think about it."

"Don't listen to her, I have a partner." Liu Minhui decided not to play around with her, this woman is not simple, if she plays tricks with her, she may end up being played by her instead.

"I got it."

"then you……"

"I do not mind."

"What did you say?" Liu Minhui put down his chopsticks, frowned and looked at Li Jing opposite.

"I said I don't mind, did you make it very clear?" Li Jing raised the corners of her lips.

"What did my mother tell you?" Liu Minhui was slightly annoyed.
