Show one's ugliness

After completing all the formalities, Qi Heng led the general and left the shelter.

He pressed the general's head at the gate with a sense of ritual and said, "You don't have to come back here again."

Qi Heng was the officer Geng who sent him out the morning he was released from prison.Officer Geng told him not to look back and keep walking.

He really didn't look back, and walked straight to Qiao Aiqing and Song Yufen who were waiting for him.

Qi Heng never thought that he would miss that place after he came out.

Now he participated in the study on how to quickly integrate into society even three months before he was released from prison.But he was really in this big environment where he had been away for almost five years.

He still looked out of place.

The formal adoption form was detailed and involved his current job.He wanted to leave it empty, but the staff member said it would not work.So ask him if he just graduated and is still looking for a job.

He was afraid that he would not be able to take the general away, so he nodded indiscriminately.

This was resolved.

Most of the adoption requests given by shelters are actually concentrated after adoption.There are so many things that need to be done by him, and he has to send someone to check them from time to time.

If you fail to do so, your eligibility for adoption will be revoked.

Qi Heng took the general to a pet shop near his home.He wanted to take the general to take a good bath and do an insect repellent.

The clerk brother should have also witnessed the so-called "vicious dog attacking people" incident this morning.When he met the general, he didn't say to chase away the guests, but added some protection.

"It should be a German shepherd and other dogs." The boy in the pet shop looked at the general carefully and said, "Is it with Doberman?"

Qi Heng: "I don't know either, it's not important."

"Remember to change to a thicker rope this time," said the pet shop boy, pointing not far away, "Go and choose it yourself."

"it is good."

When the boy in the pet shop tried to get the general into the washing pool, the general resisted. He smiled politely and asked Qi Heng for help.

The general is really the only one who is obedient to Qi Heng, and he obediently obeys Qi Heng when he comes to him.

When Qi Heng received the call from Qiao Aiqing, the general hadn't finished washing. Qiao Aiqing asked him to buy some pickles for dinner before going home.

Qi Heng understands that dipping pickles is not what Qiao Aiqing wants, but asking what he is doing outside is what Qiao Aiqing wants.

The absence of Xiao Mingjun and Ji Cen these two days made Qi Heng happy.He decided to satisfy Qiao Aiqing's little request.

The farmer's market is right next to him, and he wants to come back to pick up the general after buying.

He went out after notifying the pet shop brother who was busy.

The weather is now bone cold in the morning and evening, and hot in the afternoon.Qi Heng took off his coat and put it on his shoulders and went straight to the farmer's market.

He knew the vegetable stall that Qiao Aiqing often visited, so he walked over without turning his eyes when he entered the market.

There was a wide variety of fresh dipping pickles, and he took some of each.You can't buy too much of this thing at once, it won't taste good if you can't finish it.

After paying the money and picking up the bag, he turned around and stopped after taking a few steps.

Among the passing crowd, a few young people were pointing at him and saying something, and they stepped up to meet him.

Qi Heng didn't even think about it, and immediately changed direction.

It only took him a few seconds to go from striding to striding.

But the group of people still blocked him at the entrance of the farmer's market due to the large number of people.

The leader grabbed Qi Heng's clothes and slowly opened and closed his mouth with a cigarette in his mouth: "I thought you forgot about me."

Qi Heng took away Zhao Haoyu's hand and stood up straight.Zhao Haoyu's eyebrows and eyes are too similar to his brother's.

Zhao Haolei's bloody face often appeared in Qi Heng's nightmares in the past few years, how could he just forget it.

Zhao Haoyu shook his head and signaled: "Don't block the door, go outside."

The few friends who were with Zhao Haoyu were afraid that Qi Heng would run away, so they walked around Qi Heng.

Qi Heng, who was pushed into the alley next to the market, was forced to stand against the wall. He glanced at the people in front of him, and squeezed the coat and plastic bag in his hand.

"Why were you running just now?" Zhao Haoyu, who finally walked into the alley, stopped in front of Qi Heng and said, "Aren't you awesome, I thought you were not afraid of anything."

Qi Heng stood there without saying anything and looked at Zhao Haoyu.

Perhaps this non-response angered Zhao Haoyu, he heaved his chest and pressed the cigarette butt in his hand to Qi Heng's shoulder blade.

A little bit of hotness disappeared quickly, Qi Heng looked down at the smoke stains on his clothes, but he still didn't say a word.

"Go in and be honest?" Zhao Haoyu threw the extinguished cigarette butt on Qi Heng's face, "Have you ever thought that I will look for you when you come out? Hmm?"

Qi Heng's fist could not be clenched any tighter, but he still let it go slowly.

Qiao Aiqing returned home from the store as soon as she sent the perm away.She didn't see Qi Heng, she checked the time and called Qi Heng again.

In the previous phone call, Qi Heng said that he could go home in half an hour, but now an hour has passed, and no one has returned.

After Qi Heng was released from prison, as long as Qiao Aiqing didn't see Qi Heng for a while, he would ask where Qi Heng was doing.She was afraid that Qi Heng, who she didn't pay attention to, would cause some trouble again.

Qi Heng didn't answer the call this time.

When Qiao Aiqing was about to call again, the door of the living room opened.

Looking at Qi Heng with a hurt face, Qiao Aiqing gave a "buzz" to her head, and ignored the dog that came in together.She hated iron and said loudly: "Are you fighting again!"

"I don't," Qi Heng squatted down with difficulty and untied the general's new leash.

Qiao Aiqing stepped forward and continued: "What happened to your injury if you didn't fight!"

The general probably thought that Qiao Aiqing, who was gesticulating, was going to attack Qi Heng, so he stood in front of Qi Heng with a humming voice and stared at Qiao Aiqing without moving.

This dog gave Qiao Aiqing a headache even more, she took a deep breath to calm her anger: "Where are the pickles?"

Qi Heng got up and walked towards the room: "I didn't buy it, let's eat it another day."

"Is it so difficult to admit to having a fight?"

Qi Heng turned his head and roared: "I didn't do anything."

Yuanfeng is a township, where Ji Cen was born and where Xiao Mingjun was born.

Ji Cen's family lived here before.When Ji Cen reached school age, Xiao Mingjun, who had already moved to the city to make a living, suggested that his sister and brother-in-law stop farming and find some work in the city.

If Ji Cen's parents hadn't listened to Xiao Mingjun's persuasion, they would have sold the house, rented the land, and moved to the city.Maybe nothing will happen afterward.This is also a knot in Xiao Mingjun's heart all along.

So after Ji Cen's parents left, when Ji Cen's father's relatives didn't want to care about Ji Cen, he took the nine-year-old Ji Cen home.

Sometimes Xiao Mingjun would talk about it when he was drunk.Ji Cen would taunt him: "Is that your home?"

Xiao Mingjun would squint his eyes and smile, "When we are together, we are home."

It is true that Xiao Mingjun has not had a fixed residence for so many years.Even the house Yang Nan lives in is rented.He was 20 years old when he left Yuanfeng to go to the city. He was tired of guarding the ditches and ditches waiting for God to reward him with food, so he chose to leave his hometown.

He didn't go to any school, and he worked many jobs, but he could only make ends meet.Being able to pull Ji Cen up, in fact, most of the time it was Ji Cen himself.

After Ji Cen followed him, he began to help him with small jobs.A small body has a lot of energy, and it can help with everything.With Ji Cen living with him, Xiao Mingjun is not so lonely anymore.

Before graduating from junior high school, every Qingming Festival, Xiao Mingjun would accompany Ji Cen back to the source to seal the grave.Later, Ji Cen backed up several times and came here alone.

After playing Ji Cen for a long time, he can make money by himself.Xiao Mingjun is like retreating to the second line, he doesn't work hard to make ends meet.He is idle now, so he came back with Ji Cen this trip.

After they arrived, when they checked in at the hotel in the village, Ji Cen found that his ID card was missing, so he opened the room with Xiao Mingjun's ID.

Then they drove to Ji Cen's nanny's house.

Ji Cen's nanny's surname is not Dou, but Ji Cen calls her Dou Gu, and only he can call her that.After Ji Cen was born, his mother had no milk, but Dou Gu, who was also in confinement next door, had so much milk that she had to squeeze it out and throw it away.She will feed Ji Cen together.

Dou Gu's legs and feet are not good, and she can't work in the field, so she helps to take Ji Cen.It can be said that in the first six years of Yuan Feng's life, Ji Cen spent no less time with Dou Gu than with his parents.

After moving away when he was six years old, Ji Cen always missed Dou Gu.His father and his mother will pick a time to take him back when they are free.

This friendship has not changed until now.Every year when he came back to visit the grave, Ji Cen would visit Dou Gu.

Last night, she received a call from Ji Cen saying that she would come back today, so Aunt Dou said that she counted the days and her dragon dragon would be back soon, and she had already prepared Ji Cen's favorite food and was waiting.

Longlong is Ji Cen's nickname.Except for his mother and father, only Dou Gu can call her that.

After having dinner at Dou Gu's house, Xiao Mingjun went to meet his old friends who lived here, leaving only Ji Cen sitting and chatting with Dou Gu's family.

Every time Ji Cen comes back to the grave, he will bring two newly taken two-inch photos, one will be burned to his parents when he goes to the grave, and the other will be left in the old-fashioned mirror frame of Aunt Dou's house.

He took out the photo Cui Xiaodong took of him at Wynn before leaving and put it on the mottled frame.He didn't want to let it go, and Dou Gu would ask him for it later.She wanted to keep Ji Cen's appearance at every age.

This mirror is older than Ji Cen.At first, Ji Cen couldn't reach the frame with his hand, but now he needs to bend slightly to get his face.The newly added photos on the frame are all from Zhang Qinghua's wedding.In one of them, Ji Cen, who was going to see off his relatives, was trying to pop a red balloon with his mouth open and laughing.

Last year, Dougu's eldest daughter got married and moved to a nearby town.Now Aunt Dou still has a young son by her side.

I heard from Dou Gu that Zhang Qingchen, who was five years younger than him, had dropped out of high school in the village a few days ago.Ji Cen shook Zhang Qingchen, who was watching TV while shaking his chair, and his mind collapsed; "What do you think, kid, you won't be able to go to school anymore?"

Zhang Qingchen rubbed his head, moved the chair and said, "Brother Long, I really can't learn it."

Dou Gu said from the side: "I also said that I won't listen to him. I'm really worried. You said that you can't get along without studying these days."

Ji Cen smiled: "There is still less farm work."

"Who said I'm going to do farm work?" Zhang Qingchen said very rationally, "I want to go out to work, anyway, I want to make money in the end, why don't I make money earlier like my brother Long."

Dou Gu: "Your Brother Long also finished college."

Zhang Qingchen: "Is he a mess? What does his major have to do with his current life?"

Ji Cen grabbed the fly swatter in his hand: "You kid must be looking for something to smoke."

Dou Gu's husband is usually taciturn, but now he also supports Ji Cen's approach: "Ji Cen hit him for me, I can't beat him now."

Where would Ji Cen really fight, it was nothing more than scaring people.Zhang Qingchen knew that Brother Long was trying to scare him, and soon they went crazy together.

Later in the day, Dougu asked Ji Cen to stay overnight, but Ji Cen didn't stay.

Dou Gu has a bedridden and sleepy mother-in-law who is very old, but Dou Gulai's voice can float two rods away.

In the past two years, the old lady has been even more unpredictable. Ji Cen was afraid of disturbing the old lady, so he had already planned to stay in a hotel.

Xiao Mingjun went to someone's house for a drink, and it was rare for him to come back. Ji Cen didn't want to restrain him.He went back to the hotel alone to rest.

I remembered that the ID card was not found.Ji Cen, who was lying on the bed, carefully recalled the scene at the epidemic prevention station.

His attention was not on the ID card at the time, so he couldn't remember whether Qi Heng had given him the ID card along with the injection list.

He has Qi Heng's phone number, just call and ask and the matter will be over.

But he didn't want to make the call.

Anyway, he was not satisfied with the photo on his ID card, so he had to go back and get a new one.

Ji Cen turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed.Hearing the too loud movement on the bed next door, he raised his hand and knocked on the wall as a reminder.

He closed his eyes after the sound on the other side of the wall stopped for a moment.
