Sui Xia

Chapter 22 I Decided to Stay and Not Go

"Lin Suishia, do you plan not to leave when you come back this time?"

At the dinner table, everyone ate and ate. I wondered if it was the words of the old man next door that aroused the enthusiasm of the students to talk, and the atmosphere was not as heavy as it was at the beginning.

A male classmate also suddenly asked Lin Suixia that he had a big belly, and Lin Suishia couldn't remember his name at all.

Suddenly being called by name, she was taken aback for a moment.

Before she could figure out how to answer, another male classmate also smiled at her:
"We, Jiang Mo, have been waiting for you."

Jiang Mo was sitting next to Lin Suishia, but he kept his head down to eat, not in a high mood. Hearing what his classmates said, the chopsticks just stopped for a while, and then continued to eat.

Seeing this, Xu Youyou gave him a blank look: "Chen Hao, don't talk nonsense, Lin Suixia has a boyfriend in City A, and I heard that he is about to get married soon."

"I heard, you just heard. Besides, it's not married yet, Jiang Mo, you still have a chance..."

Chen Hao and Deng Junyue talked more and more actively.

Jiang Mo suddenly dropped his chopsticks and stared at him: "Are you finished?"

"Aren't you a bit too much? Where is it now? Do you think this is a class reunion?" Seeing that Lin Suixia and Jiang Mo's expressions were not very good, Xu Youyou yelled at them angrily.

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Mo got up and left directly.

Other students were also very dissatisfied with the behavior of Chen Hao and Deng Jun:
"Don't you know Jiang Mo's feelings for Mr. Wang? Why are you talking about this at this time."

Deng Jun then seemed to suddenly remember something, with a look of remorse: "It's all my fault, seeing them sitting together, I forgot about this..."

Lin Suixia looked at Jiang Mo's figure, she wanted to catch up, but found that Jiang Mo had already left on a bicycle.

In order to avoid gossip, Lin Suixia finished her meal quietly before Xu Youyou left together.

"Actually, this is the first time I've seen Jiang Mo lose his temper." On the way, Xu Youyou said with some emotion, "At that time we all envied Mr. Wang's special preference for him, and now he should be the most uncomfortable."

"Well, I noticed it on the way here. During the worship, I obviously saw tears in his eyes, but he held back." Lin Suixia said, "You have been in the town, and you usually keep in touch. ?"

Xu Youyou pursed her lips, her expression suddenly a little unnatural: "Yes, but he is very busy, so we rarely see each other."

"Sui Xia." Xu Youyou hesitated and said.

Seeing Xu Youyou's squeak, Lin Suixia frowned suspiciously.

"What's the matter? Is there any problem on the live broadcast? I was planning to talk to you again today..."

"No." Xu Youyou interrupted Lin Suishia in embarrassment, bit her lips and said, "I told you, don't mind. After you've been back these days, do you feel that Jiang Mo has been waiting for you?"

……

In a bowl of Chunguang noodles, Wu Ying said that Lao Tang had asked for leave to take his wife to the hospital, and Aunt Zheng had something to do at home and went back early.

Seeing Wu Ying washing dishes by herself, Lin Suixia also squatted beside her to wash with her.

But her mind kept thinking about the question Xu Youyou asked her.

"It's been so many years since my little ambiguity with him. Why do you have such thoughts?"

That was Lin Suixia's answer to Xu Youyou.

At that time, others didn't know, but as Lin Suixia's best friend, she shared with Xu Youyou every bit of the relationship between her and Jiang Mo.

But just like her answer, after so many years, Jiang Mo really has been waiting for her?

"What's the matter? Seeing the teacher pass away, you feel uncomfortable?" Seeing Lin Suishia in a daze, Wu Ying thought she was still immersed in the grief of the teacher's death.

Lin Suixia came back to her senses, "Mom, do you miss me so much after I've been away from home all these years?"

Maybe she didn't expect Lin Suixia to ask this question suddenly. Wu Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I know what you are thinking, Xiaoxia, don't think about it, you are right in front of me? We are biological mother and daughter, and my body is also Still tough, you don't have to worry about me."

Lin Suixia did not expect Wu Ying to say that, the Chinese-style family relationship is not as straightforward as that of foreigners.

"Actually, your dad misses you too." Wu Ying said suddenly. After she finished speaking, she carefully observed Lin Suixia's expression, and found that she had no intention of resisting, and continued, "One day in the middle of the night, I went to the living room to drink water and found that He sat alone on the sofa and looked out the window, and on the windowsill, there was a photo of you being hugged by him when you were a child."

Lin Suixia remembered that photo.

On the second day of her sixth birthday, she accidentally broke one of Lin Tao's favorite purple clay pots. She thought that Lin Tao would beat and scold her angrily, so she burst into tears in fright.In the end, Lin Tao not only didn't blame her, but also hugged her and gently comforted her that she was fine.

This scene happened to be photographed by Wu Ying with her mobile phone, and later it was edited into a photo and placed in the most conspicuous position in the living room.

She didn't expect Lin Tao to have this side.

Seeing Lin Suixia's expression seemed a little moved, Wu Ying tried to speak again:

"Xiao Xia, don't blame your mother for talking too much. In fact, think about it these years. There is no deep hatred between you father and daughter. Your father is also old, and you are not a child anymore. I know that since you came back these days, in fact, you two I don’t feel resentful towards each other anymore, I just don’t know how to get along with each other.”

At this point, Lin Suixia felt as if a warm current had been injected into her heart, she moved Wu Ying's hand and said, "Mom, I know that you have been caught between me and my dad all these years. Nice..."

Lin Suixia wanted to say something, but Wu Ying's phone rang suddenly.

Seeing the name of the caller, Wu Ying hurriedly wiped it and answered it.

After answering the phone, Wu Ying walked out while unbuttoning her apron.

"Your Aunt Zheng's house is in a hurry and I have to go over there quickly. You can wash the rest of the dishes and go back to rest."

After Wu Ying finished speaking, she had already walked out of the store.

At the moment Wu Ying was about to close the door casually, Lin Suixia hurriedly called out to her:
"mom!"

"Hey." Wu Ying turned her head reflexively, and saw Lin Suishia smiling at her.

"Mom, I decided to stay and not go."

"Ah?" Wu Ying was stunned for a moment, and then a smile bloomed on her face, "What did you say? Are you leaving? Really?"

"Really." Lin Suixia said firmly.

It wasn't because of Teacher Wang's incident today that she had the idea of ​​staying in her hometown.

In fact, she has been thinking about it these days since she came back.

But at this moment, she was extremely sure.

She has quit her job in City A, and although she can go back and find another job selling live broadcasts like this, she can't think of the meaning of that.Just like the final result of her hard work in the past three years, what has been given to her.

I worked so hard, but I just wanted to escape from here.In the end, it was this land that soothed her wounds.

As for Qin Xiao, it was just the cold city that thought it could warm his arms, and it was just a mirror image of his own fantasy.It didn't exist from the start.

Now she also sees clearly that the more you want to care about something, the more it will hurt you more deeply.

So, she wants to stay here.

Stay in the hometown where she was born and raised her, and find what she really wants again.

Wu Ying wanted to turn around and come back, but she thought of Aunt Zheng, and hurriedly turned and walked out.

"Okay, I'll go first, and talk about it when I come back."

Wu Ying walked out without looking back.

But Lin Suixia saw that her figure was bigger than ever. At this moment, she seemed to become a girl who was extremely excited because she got a piece of candy.

And she is Wu Ying's piece of candy.
