Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter (GL) - Chapter 75
Shi Ci put the phone on the table and said: “I am sending a message with my girlfriend.”
The table was silent all at once.
Only the “gugululu” bubbles in the pot.
Shi Bingcheng sighed, “It’s time for dinner.”
The two father and daughter looked at each other, faintly not giving way to each other.
“It’s great to have a girlfriend!” Ms. Ding said with a smile: “It’s alright, alright, have a good meal. Say goodbye to playing with mobile phones, how old people are, old man, hurry up and eat, Shi Hai!! Take your vegetables Hurry up and finish eating!”
…
Ms. Ding swept the three of them in a circle, although she was smiling, her momentum was beyond doubt.
After dinner, Shi Hai helped Ms. Ding tidy up the dinner table.
Shici and Ms. Ding are in the kitchen.
The dishwasher was working, and Ms. Ding was scrubbing the cooker hood, and she was picking up some unfinished food beside her.
Ms. Ding took a look at her speech from time to time, her eyebrows were closed, she was a little absent-minded, Shi Hai finished cleaning up, looked at them, said nothing, and went to the living room.
“I didn’t tell your dad.” Ms. Ding cleaned the range hood, put some detergent on her palm, and started to rinse.
The speech was silent.
“After all, you are in the same school and your identities are different. If there is some rumors…”
Shi said quietly: “I don’t belong to a teacher-student relationship with her, and she is about to graduate from undergraduate.”
Ms. Ding washed her hands and walked out of the kitchen. She glanced at the father and son in the living room. One of them played with mobile phones and the other had tea~www.mtlnovel.com~ The TV set was on the Spring Festival Gala.
“That’s how it is said, and it is sometimes terrifying.”
“I thought Ms. Ding you always supported me.”
The kitchen is brightly lit, and Ms. Ding’s face was gorgeous when she was young. As she grew older and tempered her mood, her appearance became softer and more graceful, and her hair became a lot grayer. When she did not speak, she looked like an elegant and quiet woman. The old lady of, she said crisply when she spoke, and was full of breath. When she laughed, her voice was loud and ironing, which was very contagious.
After 60 years old, she usually spends most of her time happily. Little things do not care, big things are dealt with slowly, consciously making people’s lives 70% to 80%, and the remaining 10% to 20% is her daughter. Up.
It’s just that this worry has to be hidden inside, so that it is not easy for the child to see it.
She looked at the remarks, with a positive expression, “I support you, remarks, then you tell me the truth, are you serious?”
When I get older, the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes are the traces of time carvings, but Ms. Ding’s eyes are clear, smart and vigorous, and there is no time to squander the old. Looking at people with such eyes, it is very stressful and even telling lies. No more.
Shici raised his eyebrows slightly, and then let it go, “I’m serious, I really like her.” His tone paused slightly, becoming softer, “I wanted to bring her here tonight…”
“Did the child not go home?” Ms. Ding asked.
Shi Ci looked at Ms. Ding, her voice lower, “I didn’t let you ask in the teahouse for a reason. Her parents are gone.”
Ms. Ding let out a soft ah.
Shi Ci whispered: “I am serious about her, and I believe she is too.”
Ms. Ding was silent for a long time, sighed quietly, and said: “…Xiao Tang Kai is also a poor child.”
“Wait, you should be a little measured?” she asked suddenly.
Shi Ci didn’t expect that there would be such a question, and she was taken aback.
Ms. Ding approached and whispered, “You are not too much, although Xiao Tang Kai is an adult, but relatively…too much smaller than you…”
He coughed, “Ms. Ding!”
Ms. Ding stepped back, with a shocked look on her face, “Don’t you…”
“I haven’t…” After speaking halfway, he reacted immediately, “It has nothing to do with you!”
Ms. Ding breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good, that’s good, or else… I’m too sorry!”
Why are you so upset?
Shishi ignored her, took the insulated lunch box, and walked out of the kitchen, “I won’t live at home today.”
Ms. Ding’s face changed slightly: “…hey, wait…”
Shi Ci walked to the living room and said to Shi Bingcheng: “Dad, I won’t stay at home this year. I’m going back to my side.”
“Wait,” Shi Bingcheng turned off the TV quietly, Shi Hai’s eyes slowly rose from the phone screen.
Shi Ci stopped and glanced at his watch. It was still early at 8:30, but Tang Kai had already spent three hours alone.
“I’ll go back with my girlfriend.” Shi Ci seemed to know what Shi Bingcheng wanted to ask, so he said it first.
“Tonight is family time, it is our family’s tradition.” Shi Bingcheng’s habit of speaking is exactly the opposite of Ms. Ding’s. Except for lectures, he doesn’t speak very much. He speaks at a moderate speed and does not rush, and his face is handsome. Refined, giving people a feeling of good temper and very little anger.
The fact is also true. In the memories of the growing up of Shi’s sisters and brothers, their parents rarely lose their temper, especially Shi’s father.
“You go out tomorrow.” Shi Bingcheng said.
He rarely asks the children to do anything, but when he asks, there is a kind of majesty that cannot be refuted and must be executed.
“Dad,” Shi Ci smiled, “I am in my 30s, not a minor.”
“Then do you know what you are doing?”
“I always knew.”
“Ah, old man,” Ms. Ding said next to him, “let her go if she wants to leave. The child is old and must have her own private life.”
“Well, that’s right,” Shi’s father nodded. “Speech, tell your family about the girl you are dating, right?”
Shi Hai sensed the tension in the atmosphere and took a deep breath.
Shici raised his lips slightly, “Dad, don’t you know everything? Do you need to ask me?”
Shi Hai took a breath, and the end of his eyes quietly slanted towards Shi’s father.
Shi Bingcheng’s expression was abruptly solemn.
…
Tang Kai shrank on the sofa, opened a notebook with speeches, and watched the video at station b.
Fireworks can be set off in the outskirts of the city, and she seems to be able to hear the sound.
Qiuqiu has fallen asleep next to her leg.
The room is very quiet, it can be said to be deserted.
There is no festive atmosphere at all.
Tang Kai hugged her knees, wrapped her blanket tightly, and after returning a few New Year greetings from her classmates and personal friends, she had nothing to do.
Or go to bed early, and you’ll be back when you wake up and give a speech.
As soon as she moved, the phone vibrated.
She opened it, and it was actually sent by Shi Hai——
“My sister won’t go back tonight. My dad asks the whole family to stay at home every New Year’s Eve.”
Tang Kai was a little puzzled, she knew this, why did Shi Hai suddenly send such a WeChat message to her? She jumped out to look at the speech dialog box, the picture still stayed in the photo she sent, and then resigned with the sentence, “Tweet and Qiuqiu are so cute.”
She thought about it, and said, “What are you doing?”
After waiting for a few minutes, he did not reply.
Tang Kai jumped to Shi Hai’s dialog box, “Well, I see.” She sent this sentence first.
Shi Hai immediately replied: “Oh, then you know it.”
Second reply, as if waiting for her to reply.
The speech has not yet been returned.
“Professor Shi?”
The speech still did not reply.
Tang Chi frowned, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She typed quickly, “Shi Hai, did something happen?”
Then she saw Shi Hai continuously flashing “Importing…”, and her anxiety grew bigger and bigger.
“Oh, nothing is wrong.”
This did not convince her, Shi Hai was obviously hesitant to tell her something, but in the end he decided not to tell her.
Tang Kai took a few deep breaths, kept calm, and only thought for a few minutes. She ran to change her clothes, put on her shoes in a hurry, and went out with her mobile phone.
On New Year’s Eve, the bus stop at the school gate was cold. There was little snow in the sky, and little snow fell on her hair. She didn’t have the patience to wait. She clicked on the taxi app, and there was no driver to take the order for a while.
Tang Kai ran while looking at the screen. She didn’t know how long she ran. She ran to a more lively place-a hotel entrance three or four kilometers away from the school. She waited while panting, and finally got into the car. .
She reported the address of Shi’s house, and the driver asked her to fasten her seat belt and started the car’s windshield wipers.
It turned out that it was raining, wind and snow were blowing, and the world was grey. The driver started the Spring Festival Gala, and seemed to be broadcasting a sketch, and she didn’t have time to hear what it was.
Shi Hai wanted to call, but after thinking about it, he still didn’t call. He chose to send a private message, and then chose not to tell Tang Kai the truth.
The quarrel in the living room seemed familiar. It was when he was six or seven years old. He came home on the day of his resignation. She said to her parents: “I like women and I have a girlfriend.”
In Shi Hai’s memory, his family had never quarreled, neither between parents, nor between parents and children. That was the first time, and this was the second time.
The first time was to resign.
And this time…
Father’s voice reached his ears, an anger that was rarely heard, “You are really a vain teacher, how can you do such a thing? She is still a student and doesn’t understand anything!”
“She and I are serious!”
“What is serious? How old are you, how old is she, she hasn’t been out of society, she has just grown up, and she has a great future. If you really want to ruin her!”
“How did I ruin her? Isn’t her and my future the future?”
“I want me to be straight? You seduce her, you seduce her, she may not be the same as you, she may have other choices!”
“Choose? Choose a man? How do you know that being with me is not her right choice?”
My father was really angry, and so was my sister. The two of them faced each other and refused to give each other.
Shi Hai looked at his mother worriedly, and Ms. Ding turned her head and shook her head at him.
“She can have a normal life!”
“After all, do you still think I’m abnormal?”
At this time, the room was quiet, like a deep-sea submerged reef, silent, suppressing the turbulent undercurrent, while the skit program of the LCD TV was broadcasting, but there were bursts of lively laughter.
Shi Hai’s throat suddenly choked.
“Okay, don’t fight, if you have something to say about the Chinese New Year,” Ms. Ding walked to their father and daughter and turned to remarks, “Remarks, your dad didn’t think you were abnormal. We are parents, just hope You are safe, healthy and happy. Nothing else is required.”
Shi Shi’s hands were hanging down on her side, clenched very tightly, her body language was taut, her eyes slid from Shi Bingcheng’s face to Ms. Ding’s face, moved back, and gave a wry smile, “Mommy, don’t help my dad. Speaking, I know that in my dad’s heart, he still can’t accept who I am.”
“I can accept it,” Shi Bingcheng looked at her, “You are my daughter. You have been smart and outstanding since childhood. I am proud of you. You like women. I will try my best to understand you. You go back to teach and stay By our side, I am full of comfort, but giving a speech…”
Shi Bingcheng frowned, looking puzzled and pained, “You can choose any girl, why do you have to choose a student from the same school? I absolutely cannot accept this!”
Shi Ci was quiet for a moment, “What if I must be with her? Can I resign?”
When these words came out, Shi Hai couldn’t help calling, “Sister!”
Ms. Ding frowned.
Shi Bingcheng’s eyes were heavy. After a while, it seemed that all his anger had disappeared, and only tired disappointment remained. He said: “This is your decision, and I can’t stop it.”
“It’s just a speech, I’m very disappointed in you.”
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is an endless sea of lights, snow falling, occasionally mixed with raindrops, one after another smashed on the glass with the red and bright “Fu”, like a happy world clinging to the fireworks in the world.
Shici slowly went downstairs, put on his clothes, and walked out.
Her profile was concealed in the shadow of the lamp, her lips pressed slightly, her thick eyelashes pressed against the moistness on the bottom of her eyes.
Many years ago, she told her parents about her sexuality in front of her parents that night. The reaction of the parents who were still very young at that time was much more serious than tonight. Ms. Ding was so shocked that she could not speak on her chest, Shi Bingcheng almost Want to sever relationship with her.
At that time she had no regrets at all, and even a little bit of arrogance, but when she walked out of the house and called Qiaosha, Qiaosha said at that time, “Speech, you don’t need to do this.”
At that time, he was dumbfounded. In Qiaosha’s concept, love is a matter of two people. They are happy and sweet in their own little world, and do not need to explain to others, nor do they need their consent and blessings.
This is Qiaosha’s pride.
Shici thinks that she is not good enough. Her parents love her deeply, and she loves them deeply. She can’t pretend in front of her parents. Her love is not shameful, so she wants her parents’ blessing.
This is the first quarrel between her and Qiaosha.
In the end, neither side of the speech was human, her love, her romance, her ideal, the fire burning in her chest, only ignited herself, and in the end only a little ashes remained.
A little ice water hit her hair from the eaves, dampened her hair, slid to her forehead, and ran down.
New Year’s Eve, rain and snow night. It’s very cold.
The parents are not young anymore. Even though the spirits are still very good, they are slightly shocked. They are trembling with a disappointed look, and their hair is quite white. They both heard her saying that they would resign. The eyes looking at her together…
Shi Ci closed her eyes and her throat was dry. She took out her mobile phone. Tang Kai’s private message in WeChat was waiting for her quietly. A few quiet Chinese characters came into view, but her soft and crisp voice was remembered in her mind.
Shi Ci’s fingers trembled, and she didn’t answer or call after all. She stood quietly for a while before pushing the door open and closing it.
On both sides of the door are the couplets written by Shi Bingcheng, sprinkled on gold and red paper, in ink and line letters, elegant and romantic.
Every year, he writes.
Ms. Ding’s fonts are very beautiful, Xiaohai is a liberal arts student, and the fonts are also very beautiful.
There is only her in this family, writing is so-so, she only likes numbers and letters. Is she alone?
Shi Ci looked in a daze, only to remember that she hadn’t driven, no matter what, she didn’t drive. She walked two steps, and there was the sound of approaching footsteps.
She looked up.
Tang Kai wore a thick down jacket, his jeans under his feet showed a little ankle, and his canvas shoes were covered with mud.
Shi Ci moved his gaze from her cold red ankle to the top in a daze.
The collar of the down jacket wrapped half of her face, and her eyes were like Ye Xing, which seemed to be able to speak, and it was more like waiting for her a long, long time ago.
Boundless spots of snow slowly fell on them.
Shi Ci returned to his senses in a trance, the moistness in her eyes was drenched, but a little smile appeared on her lips.
