I'm just a lumberjack

As June approached, Zhou Ruiqiang, the father of junior high school candidate, was pushing a shopping cart and walking in the supermarket, thinking hard about what kind of dinner to make for his son and his friends.

Stir-fried bitter gourd with salted egg yolk, fried lettuce with sausage, kelp and mung bean soup... He walked slowly in the vegetable and fruit section, but his eyes could not help but drift to the back of a person in gray and black clothes in the distance.

It seemed to coincide with the back of his past lover in his memory.

Having made up his mind that it was impossible for him to appear here, he began to look at that person recklessly.

The figure is a bit thin, the hair is flat, and the whole person is thinner than the previous boss, but he looks very much like him in every gesture.

The man stood motionless in front of the freezer. Zhou Ruiqiang squinted his eyes and saw that there was the dumpling that was often made for him in the freezer.

He hurriedly pushed the shopping cart and turned away, hid next to a container, and continued to look at that person with his head out.

Suddenly, the man in black turned his head abruptly, as if he met his eyes.

Although only half of his face was turned, Zhou Ruiqiang was really taken aback. Isn't this guy still squatting in the cell?Why suddenly... But soon he had no time to think, because he saw the man turn around and walk over quickly, so scared that he threw down the shopping cart and looked for a place to hide again.

In the midst of panic, he couldn't restrain his frantic heartbeat, as well as the inexplicable joy that burst out from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh, isn't this Brother Qiang!" A palm patted his shoulder, and he would never forget the voice. He turned his head to signal Peng Yang to keep his voice down, and looked around to make sure that the boss would not be here in time, so he Said to Peng Yang: "Do me a favor first, Boss Li is out of prison, now stand over there, when he comes over, help me avoid him!"

"Oh, Boss Li has come out, why should I hide..."

"Help me! You can say anything, and I'll treat you to dinner later!" After speaking, he hurriedly walked around to another shelf.

It was quite a coincidence that as soon as Zhou Ruiqiang left, the boss turned to this side and had a face-to-face meeting with Peng Yang.No matter how quick-spoken Peng Yang was, he was still a little at a loss when he met a friend he hadn't seen for many years.The boss nodded to him and continued looking for a man.

"Hey, don't go, boss! We haven't seen each other for so many years, let's talk! You see, we are so destined to meet each other in the supermarket!" Peng Yang said nonsense in a hurry, and he stepped forward to hold the boss.

Seeing that the man's face turned dark, Peng Yang mustered up his courage. Although the boss lost a lot of weight, his aura was still there, even stronger than before.

"Did you see Zhou Ruiqiang just now?" The tone was very steady.

"No! By the way, let me take you to dinner, I'll treat you!"

"We'll talk about the meal later, can you take me to see him?" His tone was filled with requests.

"Uh..." Peng Yang paused, and after preparing to kill Zhou Ruiqiang, he said cruelly, "Brother Qiang is doing well! His son is very filial, his work is very smooth, and he has a gentle wife. He is very happy now. Happiness, he told me that he doesn't want you to disturb him anymore!"

"Have a wife? Are you living happily?" He heard the sneer of the man in front of him, and then he saw the man stretch out his hand, with a glowing ring on his ring finger, "He took another one that night The ring is gone, with his physique, how can he still have sex with women?"

"This..." Peng Yang used his brain, trying to search for the "evidence" of Boss Li in his memory, "You beat him so badly that winter! He just gave birth!"

"So he went to look for you that night?" The boss raised his eyebrows, "A normal man sees that the partner he spends day and night is pregnant with someone else's seed. Would you be angry instead?"

"You... Anyway, brother Qiang has suffered a lot for you, you should leave him." Peng Yang lowered his arms.

"I can't leave him and he asked me to discuss with him, and I got the retribution I deserve. I came this time to ask for his forgiveness." The boss crossed his arms, "I hope you can take me to find he."

"You still want to get back together with him? His son is..."

"I think, after so many years, everything should be settled." A smile appeared on the boss's weathered face, "And his son, I also want to see, so he must be more than ten years old. "

Peng Yang had nothing to say, and inadvertently glanced to the side. The boss seized this small gesture, quickly walked to the side, and grabbed the cowering man next to the delivery cart.

"Hi..." Not knowing where to start, Zhou Ruiqiang was grabbed by the collar, and he greeted the expressionless boss dryly, and gave Peng Yang a sharp look at Peng Yang who was chasing him.

Peng Yang retreated obediently.

In the next second, he was pulled into his arms forcefully. The familiar smell was still in his nostrils, but his hands touched a slightly thin body.The man above buried his messy hair in the socket of his neck, and he soon felt that the back of his neck was wet, and there was no tendency to stop.

Just when she was about to push him away, she heard the whimpering of the man on her body, her heart softened and she didn't know what to do, so she could only gently stroke his hunched back like comforting her own son.

"Don't cry. When you come out, you must be a good person and obey the party's transformation..." He still said dryly, reciting the lines in the community pamphlet.

Then he was pulled away, and the boss, whose eyes were red from crying, held his shoulders and stared straight at him, his expression didn't match his face, and he was still sobbing.Zhou Ruiqiang, who had tried his best to restrain himself, also felt very uncomfortable at this time.

The boss pursed his lips and said a few words: "Come home with me."

"No..." The man broke free from his restraint, but couldn't bear to look up at the man's hurt expression.

"Why? Because of what happened to me that night?" The boss's tone was a little hasty.

"No, I deserved it that time. I was just a bastard who lied to you from beginning to end. I just wanted to save my life!" How could he continue to interfere with his life?Their relationship should have stopped on that winter night.

"Haven't you thought about living with me?" The boss became even more excited, grabbing the man's arm with both hands and not letting go.

"No! Not at all!" He simply lowered his head and yelled, shaking off his arm vigorously, but he didn't know that his eye sockets were already a little wet, "I never loved you at all!"

The scene became quiet, the man lowered his head, and his heart was already in a mess, thinking whether it would be bad to give such a blow to someone who just came out.Then I heard a slightly trembling voice: "Why did you take the ring?"

His heart trembled, the ring had been placed in his bedside cabinet, and it had been silent for many years.

"If you don't take the ring after that night, our relationship is over," the boss continued. "But you took it, and I went crazy looking for you until I went to jail. If you are right to me Feelingless, what did you take the ring for?"

"Exchanging money to buy milk powder for my son..." He lacked confidence, raised his head with his chin between his fingers, and met the boss's eyes.

"Lie." The boss came to a conclusion, and then shook his hand instead, "Don't lie to me, I have nothing now. I just hope you can give me a chance."

"Give you... what chance?"

"Let's start over. I don't care about your past, and you don't care about what I did to you that night. I have already lost in this life, and I don't want to lose again." While the man was in a daze, the boss slowly He bent down, knelt down on one knee, cupped his right hand with both hands, and kissed the back of his hand, his eyebrows brightened, "Stay with me."

The man's mind went blank until he was awakened by applause. He looked to the side and saw a large group of people headed by Peng Yang standing and applauding, with endless whistles.

Peng Yang winked at the man, and the man glared at him. He didn't show anything to the boss's behavior. He took his hand out of the boss's hand and said, "I'm going to buy vegetables." Then he left.

The boss turned to look at Peng Yang, who quickly motioned for him to catch up.

Seeing the running back of the man in gray and black clothes, Peng Yang sighed, it is rare to have such fun at such an old age, unlike himself, he has been single since his last girlfriend broke up, and he doesn't know what it is Time to find the right girl.

Zhou Ruiqiang carried the vegetables on the way home, feeling very annoyed, and became even more depressed when he saw a sneaky figure following behind him.

"Come out, I'll take you home for dinner." He sighed and shouted behind him. He probably just came out and didn't have a stable place to live yet, so let's take him to dinner first.

The man jumped out happily and proudly walked alongside him.

The man felt unbelievable as he walked, obviously he had deceived him first, why did the deceived follow him this time?

Back at his home, he took out the key to open the door, settled the boss on the sofa, then went to his son's closed door and knocked to signal to open the door. After waiting for a while, Jia Yi came to open the door, and his son was still sitting on the chair reading a book. Just a little red in the face.

"Father brought an uncle home, so please greet him well when we eat. Jia Yi, you should stay for dinner today too." The man said to Li Xiong and Jia Yi.

After he finished speaking, he turned to the kitchen to get busy, but when he was chopping vegetables, his waist was wrapped by a pair of hands, and his hot breath was sprayed on his neck: "Where is the son? Why is the door closed? I want to see him. "

"He's going to prepare for an exam recently, don't bother him, he brought his classmates here." The man kept working.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I can watch enough in the future." The boss leaned over and gave the man a smack in the face, then reached out to pick up a slice of cucumber and threw it into his mouth, staggering to watch TV.

At this time, the old man in the kitchen covered the kissed cheek with one hand, and his face was already red to the depths of his neck.

Ten years.
