don't want to miss you

Chapter 14 Old Things
The company is the busiest at the end of the year, because it is going to leave for a while, and many things need to be explained. Shi Mochi handed over the compensation for demolition to his assistant, and he had to wait until the evening when he accompanied Jiang Qiaoan to pack his mother's things.

The sky was cloudy, and after lunch, Jiang Qiaoan felt extremely tired, so instead of going to the glass room to read online as usual, he pushed away from the bedroom and was about to go in to rest, when he remembered that Xia Xing lived when the place changed.

"Want to take a nap? Come in." When Xia Xing went back to his room to change clothes, he asked with a smile when he saw Jiang Qiaoan.

"No, it's a habitual mistake."

"It's best not to sleep, I want to go shopping, let's go together."

"My body is sore, and the weather is bad, let's try another day."

"It's just like this when there's nothing to do. Go out for a stroll and you'll be fine." Shi Xia Xing continued to encourage with a smile like a flower, "Aren't you still angry with me about the previous things? I don't understand the truth, please You drink afternoon tea to apologize, sister-in-law?"

Jiang Qiaoan finally understood why everyone said beauty was a disaster, not to mention men, even she would soften her heart when Xia Xing acted coquettishly, so she naturally nodded in agreement.

Even though it was the weekend, because of the cold weather, the streets were far less lively than usual. After walking around the department store, neither of them found anything to buy. After finally going out, there was no reason to go back empty-handed. When Xia Xing Then he took Jiang Qiao'an to the supermarket on the basement floor again, planning to buy some ingredients and go back to bake chestnut cakes for everyone to eat.

As soon as they walked to the food area, the two met Mu Yin. They hadn't seen each other since the hospital farewell. Seeing Jiang Qiaoan's rosy complexion and gaining weight, Mu Yin felt a little sad.

"Instant noodles or instant noodles." Shi Xia Xing turned over his shopping cart, posing as a sister-in-law, "You eat these fools every day here alone? How can this kind of food be nutritious? Why don't you hire a cook?" Hourly workers? If you let your parents know, they will be worried."

Mu Yin's expression was indifferent, and he explained casually: "There are many entertainments, and I don't often eat at home, so I didn't invite anyone."

"That's not good. I can't eat food from outside every day. Your brother is here too. I'm going to meet friends now. You can go to my uncle's house to eat at night. Mu Cheng is also there. They are all relatives. There are so many people. .”

Mu Yin glanced at Jiang Qiaoan: "I'm not going, I'm still busy."

Shi Xiaxing remembered his care for Jiang Qiao'an, and insisted on Mu Yin's passing. After choosing the materials to be used, Mu Yin scrambled to check out, and helped them carry the things out. Passing by the cake shop, Shi Xia Xingkou Thirst and Jiang Qiao'an had sore feet, so the three of them went in to rest together.

In addition to the brown sugar milk coffee Shi Xiaxing wanted, Mu Yin also bought a cup of sweet milk for Jiang Qiaoan.The mobile phone he placed on the table rang suddenly. Mu Yin picked it up to take a look, frowned, and directly pressed the reject button.

Within three seconds, the phone rang again. Shi Xia Xing glanced at it and felt that the unsaved number looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Yang Jinghan?"

Hearing Mu Yin's "hmm", her heart of gossip arose: "How do you know her?"

"I met twice by chance, who knows where she found my mobile phone number." Mu Yin's tone was rather helpless.

Seeing Mu Yin's expression, Shi Xia Xing immediately understood. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and said to Jiang Qiao'an, "Haha, no wonder Yang Jinghan hasn't asked me about my brother recently. It turns out that he fell in love with someone else. gone."

Before Jiang Qiaoan could answer, Mu Yin immediately explained: "It's just a child."

When Mu Cheng called, Shi Xia Xing stopped interrogating him and got up to answer the phone.

Mu Yinchong smiled at Jiang Qiaoan, who hadn't spoken all this time: "You've been doing well recently."

"Well, it's good. I wanted to call you to thank you for what happened last time, but then I forgot."

"It can be seen. You were quiet before, but your face is not as bright as it is now."

Jiang Qiaoan did not continue this topic, but instead said: "You should go to have dinner at night, it is more lively when there are many people."

Mu Yin was silent for a while: "I'm not going, I just realized that I don't have the courage to say 'you're happy', and I don't have the courage to look at the people I like to be happy."

"Where's Mu Yin?" When Xia Xing came back after answering the phone, only Jiang Qiaoan was still sitting there.

"He said he still has something to do, let's go first."

Shi Xia Xing held up the cup and warmed his hands: "Sister-in-law won't think I'm too busy, right? I can tell that he... If it's someone else, I won't care about such trivial matters, but Mu Yin is really good, I hope he I can find someone who is more suitable for me earlier. Sometimes I am stimulated and I can immediately wake up and figure it out. I have broken up in the past, and it has not healed for several years. When I saw my ex-boyfriend and his fiancée in a couple, I felt sad and immediately I was relieved, so I asked him to go back to have dinner with him."

Jiang Qiaoan nodded in agreement: "I understand, I hope that he can find someone suitable for him earlier than anyone else. But, how do you know him..."

"I can tell." Shi Xiaxing smiled slightly, "Isn't there a saying that there are two things that cannot be covered up, one is sneezing and the other is love."

It started to rain after dinner, the weather was cold and the roads were slippery, and the neighborhood where the old apartment was located was old, so the car couldn't drive in. Shi Mochi got out of the car and walked for a short distance before turning back. Said: "The road is slippery, the lights are dim, and it's still raining. The house has been unoccupied for so many years and there must be no lights. What if you fall and freeze. Let's go back first, and come back tomorrow."

"But I'll leave at noon tomorrow. It's too far away from our house, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time." Jiang Qiaoan insisted on going.

Shi Mochi had no choice but to follow her. He first went to a nearby supermarket to buy some flashlights, then drove the car to the nearest place, and then dragged Jiang Qiaoan down.

There are many residential buildings in this area, the houses are old, and most of them do not have building numbers. The two of them searched for more than half an hour before finally inserting the key into the correct door lock.

As soon as he opened the door, a musty smell came over his face. Shi Mochi coughed twice, and reached out to look for the light. Sure enough, there was no electricity. He shook the dark room with a flashlight, and asked Jiang Qiaoan with a smirk: "How many times?" Are you afraid of an old house that no one lives in, and it’s still dark and without lights? If you’re afraid, let’s go home first and come back tomorrow. Anyway, the house will have to wait for a while to be demolished, so it doesn’t matter if tomorrow is too late. "

Jiang Qiaoan made a "cut", turned on another flashlight and walked in first: "Boring!"

Although she didn't dare to sleep alone like Mu Yan, she wasn't too bold, but this place didn't give her a trace of fear at all.

The house is small, and the so-called living room is just a corridor, although it is a bit damp, it is considered tidy.Jiang Qiaoan went to the bedroom first, there was a desk in front of the window sill, the single bed was placed next to the wall, a small bookcase stood by the door, and a reddish-brown wardrobe was on the opposite side, Jiang Qiaoan lightly brushed it with a paper towel There was dust on the table, and when she looked up, she found a pot of cactus that was still alive on the window sill. She took it off carefully and put it in the cardboard box she brought.

Shi Mochi walked around the kitchen, found a pack of candles, took out his portable lighter and tried it, but it still worked.

He suddenly had a childlike innocence. He pointed them one by one and put them everywhere: "When I was five or six years old, I loved playing with this for a while. I especially liked to go to my dad's study because his desk was very big. Once I just ordered After hearing Ouyang Yang calling me outside, I went out without putting it out. One of them fell down, and the table was covered with paper. There was no one in the house, and almost set the house on fire. Fortunately, the neighbors found it early and smashed it. The window came in to put out the fire, and in the end only a table was destroyed. There was a large stack of materials sent by various units on the table. They were all handwritten at that time, and there was no backup. My dad was so angry that he wanted to beat me to death on the spot. I had to take my babysitter. When I got home, no one stopped him, and he called him ineffective every day. I could only cry at the top of my throat while begging my mother. My dad immediately softened. This trick is special, but it can’t be used often. I can see it."

"Actually, when I was a child, I didn't think there was anything miserable about not having a mother. Probably because I didn't have any impression of my own mother. Ouyang Yang's father was very kind, and his mother was very powerful. He was also the one who deserved a beating. Whenever he was beaten, he would tell me his mother." bad words, so in my impression, the word 'mother' is tantamount to violence... What are you thinking, I'm talking to you!"

"Ah? What did you say?" Jiang Qiao Anshang was in a trance.

After knowing that her mother is Shi Yujie, she didn't have any extra feelings except accidents. It wasn't until she stepped into this place that an inexplicable sour feeling came over her, and everything here made her feel A cordial long-lost feeling.

As small as a notepad and pen, as large as a pillow and quilt, Jiang Qiaoan refused to throw away any of them. Seeing that she even took away a bowl, Shi Mochi couldn't understand: "... so many can't take them all, you pick them up." Keep a few meaningful things as souvenirs, books, clothes and jewelry are not bad, what do you want curtains for?"

Seeing that Jiang Qiaoan seemed very dissatisfied, he had no choice but to explain further: "My car can't fit so much, be obedient and put down all unnecessary things."

"You can call and call a car."

"...This house is small, but there are not too few things. If it goes on like this, it will have to be tossed until midnight. This place is cold and humid, full of dust and the air is not good. You are pregnant with a child, even if you are not afraid of freezing, you can't stay up late. .”

"I'm different from you. I haven't seen her since I was a child, and I haven't even heard of her. Apart from these, I don't have anything to understand my mother, so I don't want to leave anything behind."

Shi Mochi kissed her on the forehead: "Understood, I will clean it up with you. Assistant Lin said that the house will have to wait for a while before it is demolished. There are a few households that have not been coordinated. Today, I will pick up some important ones and pack the rest. Well, put it here, anyway, I have to fly back every week, and when I return to the company, I will take someone to move back."

The hut was very warmly illuminated by the dim light of candles. The cold winter night was exceptionally quiet, and there was only the sound of rain falling outside the window. Jiang Qiaoan refused to let Shi Mochi do anything, and cleaned up one by one by himself, from clothes and shoes to books and picture albums. Teacups and paintbrushes, after everything was sorted out, the rain gradually stopped.

The cardboard box he brought was too small to fit just the books. Shi Mochi was worried that Jiang Qiaoan would be tired, so he sent her back to the car first, and moved her one by one. When the last box was brought back to the car, it was already two in the morning. At one o'clock, Jiang Qiaoan woke up from the dream, looked at the time, and was moved in his heart. Before he got into the car, he opened the door to welcome him out.

"You have been busy at the company all day, and you have been with me until now. I promise, you will only be willful once."

Shi Mochi closed the trunk, turned around and hugged her with a smile: "As long as you are happy, you can do whatever you want."

It's just that neither of them thought at this moment that these things would bring about earth-shaking changes in each other's lives.

It is not advisable to go back and forth during pregnancy. Jiang Qiaoan will stay in his hometown this time until the end of the delivery, so naturally he has a lot of luggage to take away.In order to save time and convenience, Shi and his family drove back together. It took more than ten hours for everyone to get home after a journey of more than 1000 kilometers and a break in the middle.

Falling asleep after early morning for two consecutive days, Jiang Qiaoan stayed in bed until noon of the next day and still felt exhausted. After having lunch with her grandparents, she started to move—she likes a quiet life, and Shi Mochi doesn’t care about it. Like to live with the elders, the two decided to go back to the other courtyard in the mountains.

Although grandma wanted to keep them at home, Mo Chi and Jiang Qiaoan refused, so they had no choice but to give up. They simply stayed not far away, and it was safe to send two reliable people to take care of them.

Shi Tuojin's disease was discovered early, and the treatment plan was reasonable. The latest examination results were unexpectedly good, and everyone was relieved when they learned about it.Jiang Qiao'an was as happy as Mo Chi. In the past, she was worried about Shi Tuojin's body because she was worried about Shi Mo Chi, but now she truly regards Shi Tuojin as her family.

After bringing a lot of things, the house on the mountain gradually looked like a home. Mu Yan knew to put down the baby and come to join in the fun and help Jiang Qiaoan clean up together. It's just that she is not used to housework, and clumsy and clumsy only adds to the chaos.

"Please, you can just sit and eat and talk with me." Jiang Qiaoan sent someone to bring milk tea and snacks over, "You are like the third brother, although you are kind, it will only help you."

Mu Yan flattened her mouth very dissatisfied: "What, there is no one like you! Speaking of my third brother, many little girls have been chasing him recently, and some of them were able to find my phone number, but he alone I don’t like it either, I’m still single, it’s so strange.”

"Oh."

"At first I thought he was still thinking about Zhou Wanyi, but it wasn't true. After Chen Yuedong broke up with her, he soon found another one. They met on a blind date. Aren't my elder brother and Li Yijiang good friends with him, so two days ago I met her once at a party. That girl is young, gentle and beautiful. She just left school. She was the daughter of a teacher when he was in college. Chen Yuedong didn't want to make any more troubles. He got a marriage certificate just after knowing her for a month. It's just because he retired once again, so he didn't hold the wedding very ostentatiously. The two families just had a simple meal. The girl has a very good personality and didn't feel wronged. Such a low-key marriage is also for the Zhou family and for Zhou Wanyi save face."

"Zhou Wanyi was on the point of dying when she found out about it. If she knew why she was sad today, she would naturally turn around and pester my brother. Fortunately, my brother ignored him! Later, her parents went to my second uncle's house to tell her And, my second uncle and second aunt hated Zhou Wanyi very much, so they immediately rejected her tactfully, what do you mean, my brother is not a garbage recycling bin, why should their daughter insist on accepting her when she turns around?"

"Actually, my grandma and second aunt are very anxious about his marriage. My eldest brother will have a wedding soon, and my second brother and Zou Anya will soon be married. He is the only one left in the family who is alone in the field. We chose him A few good blind dates, but he doesn't want to meet... I really don't know what he's thinking."

Jiang Qiaoan felt heavy when he heard this, and interrupted Mu Yan: "Are you staying for dinner tonight?"

"Don't stay, I'll stay for a while and leave. It's time to breastfeed the baby. Why are you suddenly upset? I thought you didn't like Zhou Wanyi so much, and you would be happy to hear that she was unlucky."

Jiang Qiaoan put down the things in his hands, and sat next to Mu Yan to eat biscuits together: "Now that I have Mo Chi, a child, and a family, I realize the importance of kindness, so who wants to be like her."

After sending Mu Yan away, Jiang Qiaoan suddenly wanted to eat rice. She was afraid that the food her grandma had found would be different from what she liked. Prepare by hand.Shi Mochi doesn't eat red meat, but prefers to drink some lighter broth. What he eats at night is a very simple big bone soup with rice and stir-fried lotus root.

Shi Mochi had documents to read, so she went back to the study after dinner, she was bored and couldn't sleep, so she went to the warehouse to check her mother's things.

Shi Yujie's clothes are all in warm tones, with a lot of red. When he saw the overalls, the shirt with white spots on the foundation, and the apricot lace headband, Jiang Qiaoan was surprised at first, and then remembered that when his mother passed away, he was not as good as he is now. old age.

She casually flipped through her textbooks from her college days, and saw the scribbles on them when she was distracted and the notes about teachers and models passed between her classmates in class, and she felt both funny and sad.

No matter how much time grandma talked to her about Shi Yujie, it was just a distant symbol to Jiang Qiaoan, and it was these old things that really gave her a glimpse of her mother's time.

Her mother's personality is indeed completely different from hers. Shi Yujie loves to eat desserts while reading novels and magazines, and there are still residues of snacks and fruits in the yellowed pages. She often collects leaves and fallen flowers, and likes to talk about stars and Gossip, she can't copy all the notes, and when preparing for the western art history exam, she would complain to her classmates that the names of people are too long and too many to cheat.

Jiang Qiaoan laid out the sheets carefully and examined them, only to realize that the strokes of the lines on them were inexplicably similar to his own. After all, they were mother and daughter. It turned out that there was another connection between them besides their appearance.

After sorting out the drawing paper, Jiang Qiaoan accidentally discovered a thick book with a red plastic cover hidden in a pile of books and notebooks, which was completely different from other notebooks. The page turned out to be really a diary.

After finding the diary, Jiang Qiaoan got up and locked the door, and took it back to the bedroom.The book was too damaged, and she was worried that it would be damaged, so she used tape to deal with it a little before she dared to open it gently.

Jiang Qiaoan took a general look at it first. Shi Yujie didn’t keep a diary every day, and sometimes she couldn’t write a few pages a year. Therefore, this diary was recorded from 1977 to 1985, from the age of 16 to the time of her death. 24 years old.

On the title page, Grandpa Shi wrote in black ink in a regular manner-"Happy 16th birthday to Shi Yujie, please guard against arrogance and impetuosity, work hard, and be a useful pillar of the country. Father Shi Weimin ".

It's a pity that Grandpa Shi's wish didn't come true. His youngest daughter's first diary entry was—"April 1977, 4, Sunday, when it was sunny, Tuojin was a bad guy! Finally, I asked my fourth sister to help me finish the composition. When he found out, he actually tore it up and scolded me! Tell me how to hand in my homework tomorrow! I won’t let it go like this, I must get revenge!”

"Tuesday, April 1977, 4, sunny, my eldest brother was looking for physics notes everywhere today. He was very anxious and suspected that I did it, but my third sister and I didn't have any in the room. Hahaha, in fact, I took his physics notes. It was buried under the banyan tree in the yard! How could he find it! Anxious to him! If he makes a deep self-criticism and agrees to help me write another composition this week, I will consider forgiving him."

"April 1977, 4, Wednesday, moderate rain, it rained at night, the book was soaked, the physics notes are for reviewing the college entrance examination, such a thick book, I am finished, my father may beat me when he finds out .”

"April 1977, 4, Friday, Qing, when I told my third sister about hiding the book, my second brother overheard me. He told my elder brother, but my elder brother didn't tell my parents, but only picked my ear. In fact, my elder brother He is still a good person, although he often teaches me a lesson, but he often leaves his own cake to me after I get angry, I'd better not hate him in the future."

Seeing this, Jiang Qiaoan couldn't help laughing out loud, and Shi Mochi happened to walk in: "Why are you laughing like this?"

She held the notebook in front of him: "My mother's diary, haha, she wrote a lot about your father, and you have more brothers and sisters, so it's so interesting."

Shi Mochi took it over to look at it, and laughed after reading it: "Your mother's handwriting is really ugly, she is still an art student, and her calligraphy is very beautiful. It turns out that my father liked to scold people since he was a child, and my second uncle even sued Well, it's really too much, I've always let my younger sisters in at home."

"Your handwriting is ugly! The pages of this book from 40 to [-] years ago are all yellow and brittle. Be careful, I won't spare you if you break it!"

Shi Mochi also picked up her ears, put the diary aside casually, turned off the headlights, sat on the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist: "If you don't read it, don't read it, and say I'm stingy, it's so late, turn it off." Go to sleep with the light on."

Jiang Qiaoan ignored him, got out of bed and turned on the lamp: "You sleep by yourself, I can't sleep, I want to watch for a while."

Shi Mochi naturally disagreed, turned off the lamp with one hand, and grabbed her back to the bed with the other: "It's against you! Isn't it just this diary, I can't read it anytime, if you don't sleep, my son has to sleep."
