Chapter 23 Make
Meng Meiqi really didn't know this.
Touching her nose in embarrassment, Meng Meiqi said with a dry smile, "No way, are you kidding?"
Meng Qing shook her head helplessly, reached out to fish out the wine bottle in Meng Meiqi's hand, and hugged it into her arms: "I know very well that you have done this before. Will be unhappy, so I didn't say it, you don't know it yourself."
Meng Meiqi only felt cold sweat running down her back. She was drunk, did she have relatives?Still can't even break it?What did she do that time when she got drunk in front of Wu Xuanyi and was taken home by her?
She was not in the mood to eat anymore, and all kinds of chaotic guesses were swimming in her bone marrow like bugs, making her restless.
Meng Qing didn't notice what was wrong with Meng Meiqi, she just saw that she stopped her chopsticks, tugged at her sleeve coquettishly, and pointed to the white fried chicken in the middle of the table: "Sister, I want to eat that."
There was no reaction from the people around her, Meng Qing raised her head curiously, only then did she realize that something was wrong with her face.Meng Meiqi always makes people feel cold when she has no expression, so she likes to smile, and there is an infectious warmth in her smile. She smiles more kindly in front of her younger sister and brother, so this is the first time Meng Qing has seen it on her face. Seeing this stiff and complicated expression.
Meng Meiqi was pulled back to her senses by the gentle pull on her wrist. Meng Qing approached Chi Chi with a puzzled face. Meng Meiqi coughed dryly twice, turned sideways, held Meng Qing's shoulders with both hands, and asked seriously: "Do I really have this problem?"
Meng Qing didn't know why, but nodded obediently: "You are real, if you don't believe me, you can ask my mother, she was also there at that time."
Hearing this, Meng Meiqi was embarrassed for a moment, and then felt another emotion brewing in her heart.
If I really did that kind of thing, why is Wu Xuanyi still willing to be friends with me now?Are you still willing to take care of yourself in every detail?
Why do you still comfort yourself with that complicated expression, why are you still willing to leave yourself at her home?
Meng Meiqi felt a faint idea jump out of her mind, so bold that she thought it was wild thinking, but she still couldn't help thinking about it, couldn't help recalling it, and all kinds of details that she hadn't noticed before were turned out one by one , she is different from other people's pampering, every sentence that doesn't match her personality, every little move that seems to be forbearing and has ulterior motives...
Meng Meiqi felt that the blood flowing from her chest was a little hot. She let go of Meng Qing's shoulder, patted her backhand twice, stood up and walked outside.
Finding a corner where no one was around and standing still, Meng Meiqi took out the phone from his pocket, held it tightly on his chest.A gust of cool air from the air conditioner blew over, shaking her who was sweating all over, and regained a little clarity in her dizzy head.
What was she thinking about just now?It can't be really crazy.
But it's possible, after all...
Meng Meiqi lowered her head and looked at the phone screen that she had turned on, her heart beating even more thrillingly.
No matter, just ask what happened that day, what is the excitement.Meng Meiqi took a deep breath, and found those three burning words in the address book.
It's just that before pressing the dial button, a new call came in from the mobile phone.
Zhou Zhenan.
Like a basin of cold water being poured down her head, Meng Meiqi woke up instantly.
"...Hey..."
"Hey, Meiqi, why did it take you so long to pick up?" Her voice was warm and soft, as usual.
As if a handful of hot sand had been stuffed in her throat, she was so choked that she couldn't speak, so she could only speak intermittently: "It's nothing, my mother...my mother called me, I'm at home now."
Zhou Zhenan also heard something wrong with her voice, and said with concern: "What's the matter, what happened?"
The boy with soft eyes flashed in front of his eyes, Meng Meiqi pressed his temples, and paused for a while before saying, "I'm sorry."
There was a moment of silence over there before asking back, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Meng Meiqi took a deep breath, her eyes were erratic, and finally fell on the dazzling wall lamp in the corridor, and she just stared at it dryly for a few seconds, with sourness accumulated in her eyes.
"I'm fine, don't worry, my grandpa passed away, and he came back to mourn."
Zhou Zhenan seemed uneasy, and said some other comforting words, and Meng Meiqi responded to them one by one.
Hanging up the phone, the screen jumped back to the dialing page. Meng Meiqi looked at the name that started a fire just now, as if she had just reacted, stood there for a few seconds, and buried her face in her hands.
Really, ridiculous.
At the end of the meal, the adults were a little drunk, helped each other back home, and fell asleep together.Because he had to deal with things, Meng Guohai didn't drink too much. After paying the bill, he settled down the relatives and neighbors who were sleeping together, and then moved a bench to sit at the door and smoke.
Meng Meiqi also came back with the children. The boys had nothing to do and went to the street to watch others play mahjong, while the girls hid in the house and ate candies.Meng Meiqi peeled a piece of fudge and put it in Meng Qing's mouth, stood up and walked out the door.
The afternoon sun was a little harsh, and there was a yellow dog and a cage of birds lying in the shade in front of the door. Meng Guohai had finished smoking two cigarettes and was about to light another one. Meng Meiqi pushed the door and came out. He was startled , Put the cigarette back.
"Why did you come out?" Although he didn't drink much, he could still feel it in his words.
Meng Meiqi ate a piece of candy, and the sweet taste spread between her lips and teeth.She also moved a bench and sat down next to Meng Guohai, stretched her legs and said, "I'm not sleepy, I'm afraid to disturb their sleep."
Meng Guohai murmured, looked at the yellow and orange ground in front of him, and said, "Everyone will wake up later, I will take you to your grandfather's house, kowtow, and go back first, studies are important."
Meng Meiqi didn't know what to say, and said after a while: "I've already asked for leave, it's okay."
Meng Guohai subconsciously touched his bosom, remembering that Meng Meiqi was beside him, licked his lips, and put his hands on his knees.
A few birds were flying up and down in the cage, and the old yellow dog was breathing with its tongue out.Meng Meiqi looked familiar, so she asked, "Are these the dogs and birds from Grandpa Lu's house?"
When he was still living in the old house, Grandpa Lu next door was a person who liked birds and dogs very much. The yard of his house was always occupied by various bird cages, and dogs, big and small, ran around.Every time Meng Meiqi came home with her schoolbag on her back, she was always frightened by the mealworms that Grandpa Lu used to feed the birds. I don’t know how many times her trouser legs were bitten off the line. At that time, Grandpa Lu would always bite the cigarette bag Looking at her cheerfully, sometimes she would laugh at her a few words, which made Meng Meiqi very ashamed and angry.
Meng Guohai grabbed a handful of bird food and threw it into the cage, nodded and said: "Yes, but your Grandpa Lu also passed away a while ago, no one asked about his birds, and the children planned to buy them all, I want to take them back A few continue to be raised." He patted the yellow dog at his feet: "This old guy is too."
Speaking of this, Meng Meiqi suddenly found that her father had changed.In the past, he didn't like these animals in Grandpa Lu's house, because the two of them were also getting old, and the children were away. The small animals in the yard were only raised without cooking. nice smell.Father often complains about this, and sometimes gets angry, shouldn't he be relieved now?Why would you want to keep these few?
Moreover, because my father is impatient, he would quarrel if he couldn't say a word. In my impression, there are only a handful of times when I talk to myself so gently and patiently as now.
Meng Meiqi turned her head and looked at her father who was stroking the old yellow dog. She hadn't seen her for many years. She was surprised to find that he had white hair. His temples, which were always black and shiny, were covered with snow. In the past, only one or two hairs could be picked out He has white hair, but now he is looking for the few blacks in the white.
But it is true that he has reached his age, and he is no longer young.
My father has never bothered to take supplements, thinking that his body is made of iron, and has never been patient with these nourishing things.He doesn't like to trim his hair, he doesn't take the initiative to repair the clothes when they are torn, and he doesn't know how to wash the smelly socks.What I eat is always random. I can eat two bags of instant noodles for a day after cooking, and I still enjoy it.He seems to be very careless in every way, not only to himself, but also to others.
Meng Meiqi has always felt that she has no relationship with him. After all, she didn't feel very sad when she left, and she didn't miss it too much after she left. She always thought that it didn't matter if she had a father or not, but now she is sitting here, looking into his father's ear The gray hair suddenly realized that it was different.
It's really different with or without a father.
She longed for her father's love in the past, and worked hard to do a lot of things just to get a compliment from him, but his eyes never fell on herself. Except for quarreling with his mother, all his energy seemed to be on fishing. In mahjong, she was disappointed again and again, not without complaining.
It's just that time has passed, and her heart, which had been hardened for a long time, has also softened.
