Chapter 39 Changes

"What do you think of that girl?"

I didn’t have class in the afternoon and wanted to go to the vegetable market. I was suddenly called by my mother. As soon as I entered the door, my mother who was guarding the door dragged me in by the arm. As a result, the first sentence was this kind of gossip question.

"Which girl?" I was absent-minded, and I was still thinking about whether it is better to cook corn rib soup or yam rib soup at night. Ah Juan's paw is injured, and I don't know if it will be better if I often eat bone soup... .

It seemed that he had lost a lot of blood that day. Would you like to fry pork liver for him to eat, but he doesn’t seem to like the taste of pork liver, or make him red dates and white fungus soup for supper, but this soup seems to be a woman’s soup. Will you refuse to drink...

"It's the girl I asked you to meet last time!" My mother jumped anxiously when she saw that I was completely unimpressed, "Looks... looks... very good That one!"

I glanced at my mother and curled my lips: "Oh, that, it's not very good."

"Why is it not so good, you don't think she is very similar...very similar..."

"So what, I just don't think it's good. And they didn't contact me later, and they definitely didn't like me." Thinking of the series of things that happened later, the more I felt repulsed, I seriously talked to my boss. Mom said, "Mom, don't worry about me. You won't force me after you say you can't do it this time. You have to keep your promise."

My mother stared at me as if she was going to eat me. I don't care if she stares at me, as long as her eyes don't hurt.

In the past few days, I have been in a mess in my heart, like a messy ball of wool that I can't straighten out the threads. My life is full of Chi Qian and his related things, and I can't distract myself from thinking about anything else.

Especially what Chi Qian said that night, I still haven't been able to accept it.As long as I think about it for a while, my face will become hot uncontrollably.

And Chi Qian's hands are not going to heal all the time, I'm almost worried to death.I asked him to go to the hospital, but he refused to go. He just changed the medicine in the infirmary every time.Even if you only hurt your left hand, you don't have to take it so seriously, and is the quack doctor who always misses shifts in Yizhong's infirmary really reliable?

"Forget it, forget it if you don't want to." Mom's eyes finally got tired, and she drove me out as if she didn't care about me.

"Mom, I still have Juan." I smiled and hugged her, "You don't have to worry about me so much, I will be raised and buried when I am old, so I won't die alone."

My mother glared at me: "Look, what will you do if we, Juan, beg for a wife? If you have a wife and forget your mother, you, a father and mother, will end up not much better. From now on, he will go out and live on his own, and have his own life." I have to take care of my small family and work hard to earn money. If the situation is good, I will visit you once a month. If the situation is not good, I can only come to see you during the Chinese New Year. Even if I give you more money, what is the use of giving you more money? Are you still an old man? "

Damn, it goes without saying that it's so scary.I was choked by the bleak evening scene that my mother imagined, and it took me a long time to say: "...We Chiqian can't do that."

"Nothing? Is he not going to get married in the future?" My mother pointed her finger at my forehead resentfully, "You are so grown up and still so immature! Really, do you want me to worry about you for the rest of my life? ? After I die, who will take care of you?"

...But, he said, he clearly said...

"Chi Qian is only in the third year of junior high school. Although it is still a long time before he gets married and has children, who can say for sure in the future? Even if he swears not to leave you now, he will often remember to visit you when he gets married, or simply put You take it and live together, but you have to be psychologically prepared for the worst, don't you?"

Yes, he is still young, so what he says counts.People will change. What they like at this time may not necessarily like it when they grow up. People are like this... Maybe in the future, when I think of myself saying such a thing, I will find it ridiculous... .

That's right, how could he not get married.

After coming out of my mother's place, I felt inexplicably depressed.

Why are you so depressed? Even if Chi Qian gets married and doesn’t come to see me often, it’s okay. I have a pension. I can watch TV and surf the Internet when I’m bored. If I feel lonely, I can go to the park to play Tai Chi or go. To many old friends, haha.

"... Sigh." I couldn't help but sigh while squatting at the fish stall to pick out the perch. Why did I feel even more desolate, and it didn't have any comforting effect at all.

Without Chi Qian, I would be alone.

A person.

Just thinking about it makes me feel unbearable.

They are all mothers, why are you telling me this now, causing me to start worrying about retirement so early.

"dad."

"Wow—" I was startled, a person full of thoughts suddenly appeared in front of me, I covered my chest and glared at him, "Why did you suddenly run out?"

Chi Qian moved a little closer to me, and moved the lattice umbrella in his hand to the top of my head: "It's raining, I'll bring you an umbrella."

It's raining?I looked up at the sky, and the fine autumn rain fell like silver needles, silently.

"Dad, why are you walking in the rain, your hair is wet." He leaned over with a concerned face, and I retreated reflexively, otherwise I might be so nervous that I would stutter.I don't know what happened recently, I think my head should really be replaced.

Chi Qian's hand that was just raised to help me wipe my hair was abruptly held back in mid-air, and slowly fell down.

I suddenly realized that my behavior fell into his eyes as if he was ostracizing him, so I quickly explained: "It's not...I..."

"It's okay, Dad." Chi Qian smiled faintly, and put that hand in his pocket, "I won't do things that Dad hates again, don't worry."

That was not what I meant.

"Go home," he said, looking straight ahead and away from me.

I looked at the arm's length deliberately placed between me and him, and suddenly felt terribly sad.

It's always been like this lately.

"I'm not going to do anything my dad hates again." It's like a mantra.

Because Chi Qian couldn't move one hand, he always had to rely on me in his daily life. I helped him dress, bathe him, and carry things for him.This makes me feel that the little A Juan who used to rely on me so much has returned, and I feel happy no matter what I do.

But, slowly, my interest is not so high.

The results of my teacher quality test came out two days ago. I was No.1 in the Chinese group of the senior high school. Being able to get this score is a little proof that I have been working hard all the time.

Chi Qian also heard about this incident. When I came back from get off work that day, he greeted me in the living room and wanted to give me a hug with a smile on his face, but the moment he opened his arms, he abruptly changed to put his hands in his pockets. posture, just smiled and said, "Dad, congratulations."

You bastard, I was ready to be hugged, and you gave me this.

It was the same when I was taking a bath at night. I took the soap and helped him wipe his body. I was afraid that the wound would get wet, so he held his arms high and let me manipulate him.

Of course I was naked when I took a shower, so my clothes got wet, and I was only wearing a pair of shorts.

Flicking left and right, he couldn't avoid seeing Chi Qian's body. While rubbing soap on him, he traced the outline of his body.

His birthday is in winter, and the child will be 15 in less than two months.

Because of playing basketball every day, his height has grown very fast, and he was taller than me as early as spring.My figure is not as thin as before, and if I try hard, my arms have bulging muscles.Although there is no such thing as abdominal muscles on the stomach, there is no fat at all, and the fat grows in the most suitable place, which is not an eyesore at all.

When I told him to turn around and help him rub his back, seeing his gradually spreading shoulders and the perfect line of his back, my throat felt inexplicably dry.The hand holding the soap couldn't help shaking when it touched his skin, and the soap fell from his hand to the floor.

At that moment, many jokes about "picking up soap" that I had read in my previous life suddenly flashed in my mind... I don't know what kind of bad taste, I coughed twice, and said to Chi Qian nonchalantly: "Ah Roll, pick up some soap for Dad."

"Yeah." Unaware of it, Chi Qian walked over obediently, bent down——

I quickly covered my nose and turned my head away.

Just suddenly there is an urge to spray nosebleeds.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Chi Qian, who turned around after picking up the soap, asked strangely when he saw me twist my neck.

I waved my hand with a dry smile: "No, it's okay."

I took a peek at the palm of my hand, there was no blood, I breathed a sigh of relief, if I really had a nosebleed, it would be a big embarrassment.

"Let me wash it up for you." I walked over as I said so, but suddenly my feet slipped: "Wow——"

Just like that, I slammed into Chi Qian's arms, and there was a slippery warmth from the place where the skin touched. I grabbed Chi Qian's waist and raised my head with his strength.Originally, my heart was beating a little fast, but when I saw Chi Qian holding his hands up high and not daring to touch me, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured into his pocket, and his whole heart went cold in an instant.

Not only that, but when sitting on the sofa and watching TV together, they usually sit side by side, but now there is a pillow between them on purpose. Sometimes the two of them reach for the remote control together by chance, and when their fingers touch, Chi Qian will be like He retracted his hand like lightning.

... brat.

As for making it to this point, I obviously didn't say anything that day... I didn't say I was angry...

Such deliberate alienation makes people even more annoying.

Forget it, forget it.I thought sadly, anyway, he will get married in the future, and he will become estranged sooner or later. It is better for me to adapt to this distanced life as soon as possible.Lest you can't accept it when you get it.

"dad."

Chi Qian, who didn't speak all the way while holding an umbrella, suddenly called me.

"Huh?" I recovered.

"Will you go to the movies with me next Thursday night?"

well?See a movie?

"If Dad is busy, just pretend I didn't say it..."

Hey, I didn't say I'm busy!

"Ah, what, I don't seem to have anything to do that day." I pretended to be thinking, and said slowly.

If I want to restore the previous relationship with my son, it would be good to go out and play, maybe the relationship will get better again.But it seemed that it was my turn to be on duty that night, and I had to study late after class, alas, no matter, those students would not have any questions to ask me anyway, it was good that they didn't knock off the roof during the self-study class.

Forget it, it's a big deal to be scolded by the elders the next day!

"Really?" Chi Qian's eyes lit up, "Yesterday, A Liang said that a new barbecue restaurant opened on Yanhe Road is very delicious. We can go to eat after watching the movie, and then go to the square to put Kongming lanterns and watch music. Fountain, Daddy, let's go together? Shall we?"

Wow, how long has this been brewing in my stomach, so thoughtful...

However, it's been a long time since I saw him show such a happy expression, and even my mood brightened: "Okay."

As soon as he heard my answer, he laughed immediately, his clear eyes were bent, and he was full of smiles.

I don't know if this is the reason, but Chi Qian seemed very happy in the next few days, as if the ice and snow had melted, and he seemed a lot more friendly.Seeing him in such high spirits made me look forward to next Thursday too.

"Hey, let me tell you, did your family Chi Qian have a girlfriend?" When I went to my parents' house for dinner on the weekend, my second brother whispered to me nervously.

"Fuck you. Our family, Chi Qian, will only be 15 years old next Thursday—" I was taken aback as I blurted out, yes, next Thursday is Chi Qian's birthday!It turns out that he wants to celebrate my birthday with me.

It's just the two of us celebrating our birthday together.Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing twice.

"What's wrong with 15 years old, 15 years old is the time of first love, okay? Look at Chi Qian's face full of spring breeze recently, it seems that he is in love." The second brother said with his legs crossed.

"That's because we made an appointment to go to the movies together next week and he was so happy." I said proudly, seeing how much my son valued me!

The second brother chuckled, and gave me a sideways glance: "What's so happy about being reduced to going to the movies with Dad?"

Hey... What happened to going to the movies with Dad!Why do you use "reduced" to describe it!

I angrily poured water to drink.

How could this lonely old ghost without a son understand me!

"Isn't it possible at first glance? How could Chi Qian not be chased by a girl, how could he be so miserable that he would be so happy to eat two more bowls of rice when his father accompanied him to watch a movie." The second brother raised a finger and shook , and looked outside the door again, and saw that Chi Qian hadn’t returned from helping my dad wash the dishes, so he continued to lower his voice and continued, "I saw him coming out of a hotel with a girl in Yunchuan Square last time... "

"puff--"

I spit out a mouthful of water.

The second brother moved aside in disgust.

"You're talking nonsense!" I didn't know why I was so excited, the anger seemed to come out of nowhere, "Our family Chi Qian would not do such a thing, you must have misjudged the person!"

"If I talk nonsense, I'll kick your head." The second brother almost swears, "I saw him and called him, and he even greeted me."

Just as I was about to say that I would never believe it, Chi Qian walked in. I jumped up from the sofa quickly, took a step forward and grabbed his hand, and dragged him out: "Ah Juan, let's come back, come back Bar."

The second brother was still muttering behind me: "Forget it if you don't believe me, I am also kind. I said that girl has quite long legs and looks pretty."

The author has something to say: It took half an hour to send it on my mobile phone, tears in my eyes...

Hey, are you not boasting about me!

In a mountain cave far away from civilized society, my only hobby is reading reviews!

p: I believe that Ah Juan will go to have a room with his sister!
