Our Days of Youth, Beautiful as a Poem - Chapter 131
Qi Cheng felt that Aunt Zhang beside her trembled after seeing the boy’s parents.
“Auntie Zhang?” Qi Cheng stepped forward suspiciously, and held the opponent’s shoulder.
The boy’s mother looked very young, in his thirties, while the boy’s father was a little older, Qi Cheng looked like his father was about the same.
The boy’s parents had come here and were very close, so Qi Cheng could clearly hear the boy’s mother complaining after holding her son in her arms.
“How come I met her.”
There was a bit of dissatisfaction in that tone, and a bit of evasion. She dragged her husband’s hand and was about to leave.
The gentleman had a cold face and frost, as if Aunt Zhang was his enemy. Without a word, he turned around and left with his wife and children.
Although there was no dialogue, Qi Cheng had an intuition that Aunt Zhang and the family were afraid they knew each other.
The three people had disappeared in the crowd and were invisible, but Aunt Zhang was still looking in that direction, slightly lost.
“Auntie Zhang?” Qi Cheng tried to call out.
“Oh.” Aunt Zhang regained her senses, “Walk and eat.”
At the end of the interview, everyone thought that the time was almost the same and wanted to give a meal together.
Pei Qingfei apologized, “Someone is waiting for me, so I won’t go, everyone had a good time.”
Some of the boys who were eager to Pei Qing wanted to stay, but Pei Qing Fei seemed to be a fish, slipping without losing his hand, and went straight out of the door.
She took a taxi and came to Chuanji Baiwei at the address given by Qi Cheng. She quickly found Qi Cheng and Aunt Zhang near the window.
After only half an hour was delayed before and after, nothing affected, Qi Cheng gave Pei Qingfei a place, and the two sat side by side.
Qi Cheng and Aunt Zhang took care of all the troubles in the afternoon, but the atmosphere in front of them was not quite right. Aunt Zhang looked okay, but Qi Cheng was dull and silent, as if something was worrying.
“Eat meat, eat meat, it’s boiling.” Aunt Zhang took a pair of new chopsticks for the two children.
Qi Cheng reluctantly responded, which made Pei Qingfei also nervous.
Is it because she has been too busy lately, making her feel ignored?
Pei Qingfei gently grasped Qi Cheng’s arm from under the table, and squeezed it three or two times, giving it a little bit of coquetry.
Qi Cheng was a little inexplicable, looking sideways at Pei Qingfei.
“Are you angry with me? I’m late.” Pei Qingfei sincerely admitted his mistake.
Qi Cheng quickly shook his head like a rattle.
Aunt Zhang whispered from the side, “She, she is narrow-hearted, and I don’t think much of it, but she is vomiting to death.”
This time, Pei Qingfei was at a loss. What kind of dumb riddles should this young and old be playing.
Qi Cheng opened her mouth, but it was really difficult to repeat her story in front of Aunt Zhang, poke her heart, and had to pull Pei Qingfei up and leaned to Aunt Zhang, “Let’s go to the bathroom.”
“Go and go.” Aunt Zhang waved her hand. She knew what Qi Cheng wanted to do, but since she could tell Qi Cheng it meant it was not a secret, but Qi Cheng was kind, probably because she felt bad in front of her. Open your mouth.
Pulling Pei Qingfei to the place of avoiding people, Qi Cheng opened the conversation box and talked to Pei Qingfei again about the past that Aunt Zhang told him and the people she met today.
Aunt Zhang once had a happy family. Her husband and sunny and healthy son were no different from other families.
The child grew up little by little, and went to elementary school, middle school, and high school. Later, he went to a higher education institution in the south, but when he was in college, the child suddenly told his family that he wanted to be a soldier and wear a green uniform.
Aunt Zhang’s husband strongly opposed it. In his opinion, going to university to find a job was a serious matter. When a soldier was a soldier, families who had no way out would only consider it. He didn’t want his children to go there to suffer.
But Aunt Zhang didn’t think so. She felt that it was a good thing to have an idea. While she was young, she should do what she wanted to do. Even if it was a whim, it was a good experience.
Two-to-one, the father couldn’t hold back his wife and son, so he could only ignore it and let him go.
The year Aunt Zhang’s son joined the army was catching up with the floods in the south. In order to fight floods and rescue disasters, many soldiers were deployed there, including Aunt Zhang’s son. As a result, on that occasion, he went to the front line full of enthusiasm. Never came back.
Aunt Zhang said that she received a phone call from her son one night before receiving the news of her son’s death, but no one thought that it was the last call between their mother and son.
On the phone, the child’s voice sounded very energetic. He said that he had found the value of his existence and would protect everyone and his mother.
Aunt Zhang was very pleased, but she didn’t expect that it was the last time she heard her son’s voice. Her son had just turned 21. It was a great time, but it was a pity that she would be fixed at that moment forever.
The instructor of the son’s company told Aunt Zhang that her child was swept away by the flood when she asked for help to the people besieged by the flood. He tried his best to push a little girl up the tree trunk at the last moment and saved her life. , Really worthy of the title of martyr.
Aunt Zhang and her husband had only one child. The child was gone, and all the charges were attributed to her decision to agree to the child’s participation in the army.
The husband said that he could not let go of the death of the child, and could not forgive Aunt Zhang, so he filed for divorce. Both of them had a decent job and a wealthy family, but in the end Aunt Zhang only made one request. She wanted a family of three to live in b The old house on the north side of the city, which was counted at the time, can be said to have left the house.
Aunt Zhang guarded the old house for several years, and the demolition came.
After the demolition, Aunt Zhang was assigned to two houses in Mingyue, two houses on the same ladder, door to door.
She will probably live here for the rest of her life, and will never leave until she is old, because here are all her memories of her children.
Pei Qingfei and Qi Cheng once wondered why Aunt Zhang lives alone, now they all understand.
Pei Qingfei said with a dumb voice, “Then what you met today is Aunt Zhang’s ex-husband?”
Qi Cheng nodded, her eyes gleamed with complicated brilliance. There were many things she couldn’t understand. “When I talked about the unforgivable and unforgivable people, I turned around and started a new life. She had another child. Aunt Zhang has been suffering so much by herself, and she has to bear the condemnation and resentment of others. I just feel…very uncomfortable.”
The same is true for Pei Qingfei. After hearing the cause and effect of the incident, she began to lose her appetite and couldn’t eat.
The two children returned silently.
Sitting on the edge of the table, without moving the chopsticks, he looked at the bottom of the pot with eyesight.
Aunt Zhang really felt so angry and funny. She felt that if she made a miserable face at this time, they could cry with herself all day.
“Okay, okay, don’t let me see you two like this. It’s an eight o’clock dog blood TV series. If you want to watch it, I’m not in the mood to act, so I can eat quickly.” Aunt Zhang said sharply.
Pei Qingfei felt a little bit painful, she said softly, “Aunt Zhang, Qi Cheng told me how you came here all these years.”
Aunt Zhang put the vegetables in the pot and boiled, and then smiled, “Why did you come here? Just like you, I became accustomed to relying on others at first. I just started living on my own. What kind of property is there, plumbing, sewage, coal, electricity, if something goes wrong, you have to take care of it yourself. Now that I think about it, it was really embarrassing and made a lot of jokes, so I said, you two take advantage of it. It’s okay to focus on career and emotions while you’re young, but you should also focus on these trivial things in life. Learn more and do more. It doesn’t hurt. Maybe you will use it anytime. You two situations. Also…it’s very special. It’s good to be young now, but we have to consider it for the future.”
Qi Cheng and Pei Qingfei nodded silently.
Aunt Zhang closed the lid and waited for the pot to be cooked. She smiled sincerely and continued to say to the two children, “I am not as pitiful as you think. Although my son is gone, I still have it. I can take good care of myself and eat. Well, sleep well, exercise well, and keep a happy mood. I have to reassure him. No, I will be very proud to see him when I leave in the future. As the mother of a martyr, am I pretty good? .”
Qi Cheng stared into Aunt Zhang’s eyes earnestly. There was no suffering or grief in it. When she mentioned her deceased son, Aunt Zhang had endless nostalgia and tenderness in her eyes.
“As for the child, his father, I can understand him. He is not only blaming me. He didn’t stop the child at the time, which was the most painful thing for him. He now has other children, but Nan Nan, that is also my son’s. He probably never forgot his nickname.” Aunt Zhang let out a sigh of relief, “Actually, I couldn’t forgive myself for a long time since my son had just left. I asked myself countless times, but I didn’t regret it. , But then I wanted to understand that parents are the cornerstone, not the bondage. Even if I was given another chance, when the child hopefully asked me if he could join the army, I think I would still agree. What he wants to do is all You can do it, and I will bear the consequences, it’s okay.”
Qi Cheng and Pei Qingfei both wanted to cry. With tears in their eyes, they heard Aunt Zhang smile and said, “Don’t cry, don’t cry, I was dragged out by Qi Orange for a whole day of shopping today. I’m exhausted, I haven’t eaten enough food yet, but I don’t have the mind and energy to coax you two girls into filming.”
Pei Qingfei sniffed and pushed Qi Cheng, “Didn’t you tell me, you have discussed it with Aunt Zhang.”
Qi Cheng’s eyes were red, and she kept fanning her palms in the wind, as if this would allow her tears to dry naturally. She returned to Pei Qingfei and said, “Discussed on the spot, Aunt Zhang agreed.”
Pei Qingfei smiled, “Just make an excuse.”
The normal atmosphere on the dining table finally returned. The positive energy in Aunt Zhang also infected Qi Cheng and Pei Qingfei. She didn’t need sympathy, let alone mercy. She was able to take good care of herself and live a good life. She knows better than many people.
Qi Cheng and Pei Qingfei feel that they are really lucky. They have become Aunt Zhang’s tenants by mistake, and Aunt Zhang has also become their life teacher. What they have learned at this stage can really help them. Benefit a lifetime.
