Notes on life in the urban-rural fringe area

The standard is very high. If you go to the cinema to watch a movie, you will basically go to sleep because the quality of the movie is not satisfactory.It's rare to find a movie that suits my heart, I feel like I'm taking revenge, and I watch it very seriously, Zhao Qikan doesn't eat tofu like usual, he just hugs his lover and watches quietly.

After watching it, Zhao Qikan played a small movie wretchedly pretending to shake his hands.Chu Hongyi was embarrassed at first, but he was immediately attracted by the flexibility and tricks of Xiao Ling in the film.I silently evaluated my usual level in my heart, and came to the conclusion that "it really is a specialization in surgery".

The man and the man in the period of passionate love watched such an "anxious to get angry" movie again. It is really unreasonable not to do something, but because today is too much indulgence, so the two of them didn't do anything real, so they used The mouths came to each other once, usually Zhao Qikan did a lot of this kind of thing, so Chu Hongyi was clumsy in this aspect, but even so, Zhao Qikan took a breath of fresh air.

Chu's mother ran out of medicine, and Xin'an didn't sell the imported prescription medicine she was taking. She wanted to call her son to send it over, but she was afraid of disturbing him. It's very close, and it's very convenient to go back and forth. Even if you don't have time to catch the car for the return journey, you still have a place to stay.Therefore, in order to implement her son's health-preserving philosophy of "going for a walk if you have nothing to do", the old lady strolled all the way to Shengzhou to buy medicine.

I bought medicine and went to see my son. When I arrived at the door of my son's house, I found that the door was not closed tightly. Then I saw two pairs of shoes at the door, both of men's style.But Chu's mother still mumbled a few words: "Hong Yi, how careless you are, the outside door is wide open, if a thief enters here... what about people?"

Mother Chu looked around in the living room and bedroom and found no one was there. She must have been reading in the study again, so she turned the door of the study open -----

Chu Hongyi had just learned the essentials, and he was very serious about tasting/pinning Xiao, while Zhao Qikan hissed like an idiot, seeing the vague shadow at the door, he thought he was hallucinating.

The author has something to say: I know it's painful to be stuck here...

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will try to find time to post the following codes.

☆、If you want to stay, you can't stay

After realizing that it was not a shadow standing trembling at the door but an entity, Zhao Qikan immediately softened from the fright.Chu Hongyi licked happily with his eyes closed, thinking that he had spoiled it, so he touched a few with his hands, opened his eyes and glanced at the door inadvertently---he realized for the first time in his life what is called "crash" .Zhao Qikan confessed to him that although his brain was also on the verge of death, it could still rotate slowly after all. Now it was true that he couldn't react at all, and Zhao Qikan was similar. Since then, Zhao Qikan has even suffered a sequelae. When everything is calm and he is "having fun" with Chu Hongyi, no matter how mighty Mr. Chu was just now, as long as he mentions Mrs. Chu Chu Hongyi is very ashamed, and it is precisely because of Mr. Chu's kind and guilty psychology that he has never "turned over as a serf to investigate" all his life. superior".

Mother Chu saw that the clothes of the two little bastards were disheveled, her son's trousers were half-ducked below his knees, and his bare buttocks were sticking up in the air. The old lady had never seen the world before, so she didn't know that it was the lubricant that Zhao Qikan applied for fear of her son's injury. Men other than my husband and son have touched, even the few intercourse with my husband is done in the most traditional way, where have I seen such a shocking scene, looking at my son's cheap and profligate appearance, pouted Holding his ass for other men to touch, and holding other men's things in his mouth, he was so angry that he didn't even have the heart to have a heart attack, so he picked up the things from the cabinet and threw them at the two of them.

"Bang!" Zhao Qikan finally reacted quickly, and hugged Chu Hongyi sideways. He was lying on Chu Hongyi's legs and kneeling on both sides of his body, so it took a while for him to stand up and protect Chu Hongyi After a lot of effort, he originally wanted to stop the smashing thing with his hands, but it was too late, so he had to protect Chu Hongyi with his arms, and hit his head--

----The vase lived up to everyone's expectations and broke on Zhao Qikan's head, the porcelain slag fell down, Zhao Qikan was knocked unconscious---Of course he was not very conscious at first, he and Chu Hongyi were kept in the vase The mint I got back from the outing was used in the room to repel mosquitoes.Even the water, the vase and the mint leaves splashed all over the ground.It finally woke up Chu Hongyi who was still in a dead state.

"Ah!" Chu Hongyi watched the blood flow down from Zhao Qikan's head, and hurriedly covered it with his hands, but Mother Chu smashed it with all her strength, how could it be so easy to cover it, the blood flowed down between her fingers, Mother Chu just looked at the two of them so coldly, without saying a word.

She has no culture, but only has a firm and stubborn heart, so she can pull Chu Hongyi to adulthood alone, and save enough tuition fees for so many years. When Chu Hongyi was in high school, his body grew very fast, and he often complained that he was hungry With enough food, relying on her meager income, if the stomachs of the two of them are satisfied, Chu Hongyi's tuition fees for college will inevitably be temporarily damaged, or he will have to borrow money from the villagers. She will be strong all her life, and the money is good Borrowing, hard to repay, during the three years of high school, Chu Hongyi lived on campus, and she only ate one meal a day, in order to guarantee Chu Hongyi's pocket money and save enough tuition for four years of college.

Chu Hongyi's grades are excellent, and when he got to the university, he got a lot of national scholarships. He no longer needs to take money from his mother. In addition to the money he earned from tutoring and odd jobs, he can even subsidize his family. , and never asked Chu Hongyi for money, fearing that he would start working early due to economic reasons and stop studying.When Chu's father was alive, he always said a word: "Xiao Yi, a child, can only study. If he mixes with the society, he will suffer a big loss." So she firmly remembered her husband's words, and she must let her son study. Stay in school in the future.Although the academic world is no longer pure and flawless, it is much simpler than the business and political circles.Moreover, Mama Chu has always held admiration and admiration for knowledgeable and educated people. In her heart, university is pure and innocent.

As a result, this beast is playing this game now! !

It's not that she doesn't know this. Although Xin'an is a small place, there are such things. Most of her life has passed without seeing marriages. She can bring back more than a dozen different men a month.nausea!

Now his own son actually also? !

Impossible, my son knows it well, he knows how to read with all his heart, how can he understand these tricks?Mother Chu looked at Zhao Qikan who was bleeding out, it was this bastard who led my son to death, why not die!

"Mom, Mom!" Chu Hongyi helped himself and Zhao Qikan get dressed with tears in his voice, "I'll take him to the hospital, and we can talk about other things when we come back, okay?"

"You dare to walk out of this door with him today, and from now on, don't call me mom again." Chu's mother's tone was flat, her expression was serene, and in a trance, Zhao Qikan had hallucinations, as if she was still the usual Chu's mother, "My Xiaoyi doesn't understand the world. , thank you for taking such good care of him, thank you, auntie."

"Mom..." Chu Hongyi finally couldn't hold back his tears, "Mom, if this continues, he will bleed too much, he will..."

"If you die, you die. Mom goes to jail. Mom would rather go to jail by herself than just watch you make detours!"

"Don't argue with Auntie, if you don't go, don't go, don't cry, go to the bedroom and get the medicine box, I'll deal with it briefly, and then let's explain to Auntie." This is the end of the matter, after the shock just now, being smashed by the vase , it woke up Zhao Qikan soberly ----- this matter has to be said sooner or later, although the timing is too bad, but sooner or later, anyway, it is better to cut the mess with a random knife than to cut the flesh with a blunt knife.

As soon as Chu Hongyi got up, he was dragged to his side by Chu's mother: "What are you doing? Didn't you hear what I just said? Do you think I'm dead?!"

"?" Chu Hongyi tilted his head and looked at his mother in disbelief: "You...what did you just say?"

"I said I am not afraid of his death. If he dies, I will go to jail! You are not allowed to go anywhere! You..." Mother Chu pointed at Zhao Qikan: "Get out if you don't want to die, die here if you want to die, whether you live or die Yes, my son is the last time you will see him today."

"I..." It's not that Zhao Qikan doesn't want to leave, he's feeling extremely uncomfortable now, and his eyes have begun to bleed.But he really didn't dare to leave, he was afraid that Chu's mother would not be able to control himself and would beat Chu Hongyi again.He himself suffered such a blow, even if he endured it a few more times, he would admit it, after all, it was his fault, and he had bent such a promising son.Because of this, he couldn't bear Chu Hongyi being hurt even a little bit because of himself.

"Go to the hospital quickly..." Chu Hongyi cried out, although it didn't hit anything vital, but it was the head after all, with many nerves and blood vessels, in case it left any sequelae.Chu Hongyi felt like his heart was thrown into a high-power drum washing machine and twisted back and forth to be bloody and bloody. He had to cry and beg his mother: "Mom, can you let me go to the hospital with him..."

"Auntie, I'm going to the hospital, but can you stop beating... Xiaoyi."

"Slap!" Another slap hit Zhao Qikan's face, and Chu Hongyi was so distressed that he almost went crazy, "Of course I don't want to beat my own son. What's wrong with him? It's all your fault, and you're the one who beat him. People like you are only clean when you die! Get out of my house!"

Zhao Qikan knew that he could only retreat temporarily today, because if he stayed here, he might really lose his life. He wanted to cut the mess quickly, but the old lady's knife was faster than him, and she stood there completely Here, it's not impossible to do it by draining your own blood. Such a tough woman has never seen such a tough life?Regardless of whether he is soft or hard now, the old lady will not accept the move.

Hehe, my home?Even though he had made considerable psychological preparations, he still felt sad when he heard Chu's mother say this. In this house, furniture selection, decoration, cleaning, and windows were opened for ventilation. Not a single tile passed through their mother's hands. One cupboard and one cupboard are all carefully taken care of by myself, but now...

Zhao Qikan smiled at Chu Hongyi and asked him to stop. Chu Hongyi understood what he meant and watched him leave with tears in his eyes.

When she was extremely popular, she unexpectedly calmed down. As if she hadn't seen Zhao Qikan leave, she sat down and asked Chu Hongyi: "When did it start?"

"No...not long."

"Hehe." Mother Chu smiled inexplicably, "Where's Dr. Lin?"

"separated."

"because of him?"

Chu Hongyi's brain turned again. He realized that this was a good time. He could make up a lie, saying that he had tried with Dr. Lin and found that he was not good at dealing with women. This is undoubtedly a better way to answer---not his son I don't want to leave it to the old Chu's family, it's because you made a mistake when you were pregnant with me.But when I met my mother's stern eyes, it turned into a "hmm"

The author has something to say: Teacher Chu is a big counselor 13...

Mom would rather go to jail by herself than watch you take a "detour"---the queen mother is quite knowledgeable...

☆、Why are you uneasy

Zhao Qikan went to the hospital with his bloody head like this. People on the road looked sideways, and taxis were unwilling to take him.

He walked slowly on the road, taking the scenery on the side of the road as phantoms, and his mind was buzzing with thoughts that Chu Hongyi had never disobeyed his mother until now, and he didn't know if he could stand it. In case his mother finds out that he is moved by emotion and justified, cry a few more times, go straight back and marry a woman, and it's over.

If, if only he had done something that moved him, it would be fine, he thought venting his anger, if there had ever been a plot where he sacrificed his life to save him -- after all, Mei Yulan could interfere with Chu Hongyi, but It's because she gave Chu Hongyi a life.

Qian Yuanzheng's mother came to Shengzhou to play with Shen Xiaopeng, and Qian Yuanzheng had a big opinion on this. His own mother came to Shengzhou for a whole day, but his own son only found out the next day.Qian Yuanzheng began to wonder if he had embraced the wrong one back then, and Shen Xiaopeng was his own.

So in the third day's schedule of Qian's mother, Qian Yuanzheng arranged himself in it very forcefully, angrily brushing up his presence.

"You said you're not happy to go shopping, and you're not as patient as Xiaopeng, so what's going on?" Mother Qian complained to her son while trying on clothes.

"Mom, did you make a mistake, don't tell me when you come to Shengzhou..." Qian Yuanzheng was still complaining.

"What's the use of telling you, waiting for you to ask me for money?" Qian's mother rolled her eyes, turned her face and smiled and said to Shen Xiaopeng: "Godmother will leave at night, and I will go to men's clothing in a while, and give it to your uncle and you." Buy two pieces of clothes, you say you are already working, and you still dress like a college student every day, so you have to get two pieces to support the place."

"This is also for the sake of our company's image..." Just when Shen Xiaopeng was about to refuse, Qian Ma raised the banner of "work needs" at the right time.

"Hey, hey..." Qian Yuanzheng didn't care about competing for favor, and pointed at a bloody head on the sidewalk outside the glass window of the shopping mall with a trembling finger, "This, this, this, this..."

Shen Xiaopeng was also dumbfounded, and then the two rushed out like rockets.Mother Qian didn't bother to buy clothes anymore, so she quickly followed.

"What's the matter?" Shen Xiaopeng took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the blood on Zhao Qikan's forehead. In fact, the blood had already stopped, but Zhao Qikan didn't wipe it at all, which created the illusion that "the blood has been flowing" .Mother Qian was also quite frightened.

"It was beaten by Mei Yulan." Zhao Qikan got angry when he saw that these two guys were going the mother-in-law's route here, so he deliberately made things worse and said, hum, I'm not good, so don't think about it.

Want to come out of the closet without losing your arms and legs?Are the feudal and closed parents all dead?

"Who is Mei Yulan?"

Mama Qian's imagination is even more powerful. The name Mei Yulan sounds like "a simple little girl who went to work in the city was deceived by the big city's clothes and beasts to deprive her of her virginity and then abandoned her. She had to show her true colors as a working people and raise her weapon to destroy ruthless men." Rhythm.

While talking, Qian Yuanzheng has already driven the car out of the underground garage, and he can be a free driver. This is why Mother Qian finally decided to bring Qian Yuanzheng on today's itinerary.Of course, she didn't forget to ask Shen Xiaopeng to take the time to learn a driver's license, so that he can get rid of this annoying ghost next time.

"Chu Hongyi's mother. She found out about us." On the way to the hospital, Zhao Qikan briefly described the incident, omitting the scene of being discovered, and exaggerating Chu's mother's anger.

Sure enough, Shen Xiaopeng looked up at Qian's mother timidly.When Qian Yuanzheng turned his eyes around, he decisively lowered his eyes and stopped meeting Qian Yuanzheng's gaze.

Recently, the relationship between the two of them has become more subtle. Although they still tease each other, most of the time, Shen Xiaopeng no longer looks at Qian Yuanzheng with the eyes of a class enemy, and sometimes the interaction between the two Text messages and WeChat voice messages allow him to read and listen to it several times.

Shen Xiaopeng knew what it was, and he didn't care.

His own mother is dead, and his own father is no different.He doesn't need to be responsible for anyone. Since he fell into the "base nest" of Qian Yuanzheng's house and passed the initial period of rejection of "homosexuality" because of ignorance, he felt that there was nothing to make a fuss about. , do not interfere with others, do not break the law, who likes who, whether he likes a man or a woman, what kind of way to choose to spend his life, what is the difference with others?

But after hearing Zhao Qikan's narration just now, he knew that this was not the case.Just because you don't have parents doesn't mean others don't.

Chinese people's life is mostly lived in the eyes of others. "Live for yourself" is just a beautiful-sounding nonsense. How many people can not care about the eyes of the world?In Shen Xiaopeng's view, those people who don't care about the eyes of the world, a small group of people have risen to a position where they can ignore the eyes of the world through many years of observation and observation, and then they pretend to be calm and free to say this sentence, To dispel other people with the same status as him and strive to reach that position, of course, the main reason why a larger part of people are so confident that they can ignore the eyes of the world is that they have a good father.

As for him and the wealthy and less powerful Qian family who shouldered the mission of the family, forget it.

"Hey, what a big deal, beating the child like this..." Mother Qian couldn't see the child suffering, especially such a beautiful child. "It would be such a pity if it was disfigured. Isn't it just that you can't like the girl? As for, who doesn't have children, it's so hard to deal with it!"

Zhao Qikan's mentality is a little abnormal now, and he has a tendency to become Shen Xiaopeng. He sneered in his heart: This is not on your son's head.

Then she looked at Shen Xiaopeng again. She still remembered the time Shen Xiaopeng was harassed by the leader in Liangxi last time.Thinking of this, I felt that the crowd was really pitiful, so I reached out and touched Xiaopeng's head: "Hey, I'm sorry. The godmother will support you in the future..."

When Qian Yuanzheng heard this, his heart was full of joy. With his mother's words as a guarantee, the little fear caused by Zhao Qikan's remark just now disappeared immediately.The next step is to get rid of the old man and the old brother. Of course, before that, Shen Xiaopeng must be got rid of first.

Shen Xiaopeng was treated gently by Qian's mother, and his uneasiness deepened.

After Zhao Qikan finished bandaging, most of them were traumatic injuries, nothing serious, because this dignified appearance really affected the appearance of the city, so Zhao Qikan took a selfie and sent a horrible MMS message to the personnel, saying that he was in a car accident and applied for early annual leave and sick leave , Hiding in the room to heal his wounds.

Zongxuan didn't know where he learned about this, and came here every day to ask about his health.Zhao Qikan was very annoying, and he didn't give him a good face every time he came, especially after more than ten days, there was no movement at Chu Hongyi's side.

There was no sound, no image, and he never came back to Qian Yuanzheng's house, as if this person had disappeared since then.

The author has something to say: The author of the previous chapter made a common-sense mistake in what he said... Chu Hongyi's mother... usually does not have the surname Chu...

Why.Zhao Zhao is a bit of a collapsed person... Originally, I wanted to portray him as a capable monster pretending to be a criminal... the kind of pretentious film and television script when he appeared on the stage...but his life is unexpectedly pragmatic.

In the end, it accidentally turned into an attack of bitterness...

Thank you for the landmines abandoned like snow in the fleeting years... Meme

☆, confused mother

Zhao Qikan lay on the bed and sulked.

I was worried that Chu's mother was looking at Chu Hongyi's phone, so I didn't dare to call him. What about Chu Hongyi?Can't you make a phone call to report that you are safe when you go to work?Originally, Zhao Qikan planned to go to the school to look for him, but at the gate of the promotion, he saw Mother Chu standing at the door like a tigress guarding her cubs, Zhao Qikan pulled the gauze that could not be removed from his head, and walked away resentfully up.

In fact, Chu Hongyi's situation here is much more critical than Zhao Qikan could have imagined. Let alone taking the time to contact Zhao Qikan, his mother has already pinpointed his class schedule.My mother called after class, and had to stay on the phone until the mother and son met at the school gate, so today Chu Hongyi held up the phone and swayed to the door like a madman, and finally mustered up the courage to protest once. I had already protested for half a time last week, and the finished manuscript was suffocated under Chu's mother's fierce stare.

"Mom, you...don't follow me."

"Mom happened to be passing by. What do you want to eat tonight?" Mother Chu lied and said confidently. Is there anyone who passes by the school gate every day? There is neither a vegetable market nor a large supermarket within 500 meters of Shengda.

"I don't eat anything."

"You...do you think you can scare mom with a hunger strike?" Chu's mother could feel that Chu Hongyi was losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. Since that day, nearly ten days have passed, and the only thing Chu Hongyi eats every day The thing is water.He doesn't touch the food she cooks, or the food in the school cafeteria.

"Mom has seen a lot, you said you were with a man, what's the matter? You... you still?! Hey!" Mother Chu panicked when she thought of that scene that day, and she was extremely angry. The son who worked so hard to raise him is actually so shameless!

"Mom, don't get angry on the street, let's go home and say..." Chu Hongyi also blushed a little. The matter itself was extremely private, and it was definitely not what he wanted to be seen by his mother.Although he was ready to come out a long time ago, he never thought that he would be in such an embarrassing situation.

Mother Chu snorted, and dragged Chu Hongyi to the vegetable market to buy some of his favorite dishes.

When Chu's mother put the food on the table, she called several times, but she didn't find Chu Hongyi coming out, so she pushed open the door of the room and saw Chu Hongyi crying staring at the drawer.

Mother Chu poked her head to look, and the drawer was empty, except for a bank card and a deposit and withdrawal statement printed by the bank.

"At the time of the renovation, I didn't know anything. Qi Kan helped to make everything in the house. I gave him the salary card and asked him to use the money in it to buy furniture, but he didn't move a penny. This The form shows that not only is there no shortage on the bill, but also a sum of extra money. He mentioned it to me once, saying that in the future, each of us will pay a part of the money to buy medicine for my mother. Once the medicine for heart disease starts to take We can’t stop, so if we don’t care how much money we have to spend in the future, we can’t move money for medicine…”

"..."

Before this, Mother Chu had never denied that Zhao Qikan was a good boy, he was considerate, filial and sensible.The last time I came to Xin'an to give myself a blood glucose meter, I have been tirelessly teaching myself how to use it, how to get a needle, and how to count as an excess blood sugar.

Isn't he a good boy now?In Mother Chu's heart, an extremely weak voice asked.

No, now it's the slut who seduced my son.

Parents are always like this. When things happen, they will always instinctively find various reasons to excuse their children. Educated and educated parents may hide this instinct to the minimum, but they always believe that their children It is the wronged party, and denying one's own children is tantamount to denying one's own educational achievements in disguise.If it is not for the failure of their own education, how can children make mistakes?And no one wants to admit that their education failed, so it must not be my child's fault!

This leads to a paradox of circular argument.

"Let's eat." Chu's mother couldn't think of so many reasons, she thought that her son should marry a wife and have children, and live an ordinary life like most people.

"Mom, I can't eat. I'm such an adult. I don't need to be angry. I really don't have any appetite. He was hit so hard by you. I'm worried about him. You won't let me see him. Then I just To be able to accompany him in this way."

"Don't even drink water if you have the ability!" Mother Chu threw her chopsticks and said angrily.

"I have to drink water to last until the day I can see him. Mother, take your time." Chu Hongyi got up, walked back to the room and closed the door, and Mother Chu noticed that he raised his hand to wipe his face.

She didn't understand, how could Chu Hongyi throw such a big bomb at her all of a sudden, since Chu Hongyi was a child who had been successful since he was a child.I hoped to see him marry a wife and have children, and the family of three would enjoy themselves happily, so why was I wrong.It's worth using a hunger strike to protest! ?

Mother Chu felt distressed and angry, so she simply stopped eating.Putting Chu Hongyi's mobile phone on his body, he went downstairs to relax.

When Chu Hongyi heard the door "click", he quickly got up and turned on the computer, and played a message to Zhao Qikan on QQ.

Zhao Qikan's profile picture was still black, so he sent another message to Qian Yuanzheng. Fortunately, Qian Yuanzheng replied after a while.

"Mr. Chu, what's the matter with you? Master Zhao is dying."

"!" Chu Hongyi was taken aback.

"No...it's not that serious, anyway, let me tell you, Zongxuan is now showing his presence in front of your man every day, serving soup and water in every possible way, clearly showing the rhythm of poaching, I risk my life to tell you... ..."

Chu Hongyi stared at the screen intently, waiting for him to say something. After waiting for a long time, he waited for the news of playing the video---

Finally met Zhao Qikan.Although it is electronic imaging, it is better than nothing.

"How are you?" Even though he knew it was useless, Chu Hongyi stretched out his hand and poked Zhao Qikan's face through the screen.

He used to like to play like this, poking here and there on Zhao Qikan's body when he had nothing to do. In comparison, Zhao Qikan was more specific, usually only poking Chu Hongyi's "that" place.

"Miss you." Zhao Qikan was going all out, no matter how nasty, Chu Hongyi's temperament was like dough, if he didn't take strong medicine, it would be hard to say how weird it would develop in the future. "Where's Auntie? You haven't contacted me these days. I thought you followed your mother's advice and went back to your hometown to get married."

"My mother went out for a walk. She watched me very closely these days. After I finished class, she called me and kept me on the phone until we met. When I came home at night, I wanted to read. She also let me open the door, if I want to close the door, she will come in every now and then..."

"Hey, the old lady is awesome, hey, the country needs such spies, and they have their own identity disguise..." Outside the video was Qian Yuanzheng's muffled voice as he gnawed on an apple.

"You didn't even touch my salary card..." Chu Hongyi wanted to say a lot, but when he saw him, he felt embarrassed and picked up a topic at random, but when he said it, he wanted to bite his tongue off.

"What do we share between you and me? I earn more than you. You should keep the little money just in case. By the way, we still have to deal with the fixed money for auntie's medicine that I told you last time. A card is reserved for..."

The door creaked open, Chu Hongyi quickly turned off the video, and typed a word: Come to my classroom tomorrow to attend lectures, and enter through the south gate.

Then turn off the computer.

After Chu's mother came back, she stood at the door for a while before knocking on the door of Chu Hongyi's room. Chu Hongyi looked up at his mother pretending to be sleeping on the table in a daze.

Mother Chu looked complicated, but she walked out slowly without saying anything.
