Qiao Yicheng sent Ju An from the police station to her own home.

Ju An got drunk and rolled on the side of the road, and was discovered by the defense department. When people asked her, she couldn't answer. She was so drunk that the defense department had to send her to a nearby police station.

There happened to be [-]% of the call records on Ju An's mobile phone, so the police called him over.

Ju An was still not awake when he saw Yicheng, his body was covered with stains, a thin coat was wrinkled, and the pitiful yellow teeth were the least dirty, Ju An shrank in the corner of the wall, his hair fell down to cover his face.

Yicheng quickly completed the formalities, and helped Ju An up, but Ju An was still not very conscious, leaning on Yicheng's body, tripping him up with his feet, and Yicheng almost let her fall with him.

An older policeman helped Ju An out, and Yicheng stood by the side of the road waiting for a rental.

The old policeman whispered: Is this lady your friend?

Yicheng nodded.

The old policeman said meaningfully: We have seen such people a lot. It is not the middle of the night. Drinking like this is not too different from drug abuse. It is difficult to correct.She was sleeping on the side of the road just now, her purse was taken away long ago, luckily no one took it away, it is really dangerous, she is young and looks good.Does she have no family?Tell them to take good care of her.

Yicheng was inexplicably irritable, not happy to listen to his ramblings, a car was coming, Yicheng thanked the police, his voice was so stiff and cold that it shouldn't be.The policeman looked at the car that raised a cloud of fine dust and snorted in his nose: It's your fault.

But Qiao Yicheng didn't hear it.

Yicheng took Ju An back to her home, and as soon as he entered, Yi Cheng found that Ju An's room was even messier than before, with changed clothes everywhere, newspapers scattered around, and a trace of soup-based paper left The bowl of instant noodles was overturned on the coffee table, the windows were closed tightly, and the smell in the room was complicated and smelly.

Luckily, the drunk Ju'an didn't vomit or make a fuss, but he didn't recognize people very much.Yicheng had no choice but to help her take off her coat, let her lie on the sofa temporarily, found ingredients in the kitchen and made a bowl of hangover soup neatly, and poured it down for her without caring about burning her mouth. Coughing heavily on the sofa, Yicheng realized that he was being too reckless because of the urgency in his stomach, and turned around to wash Ju An's face with a clean towel.

The warm touch of the towel probably made Ju An very comfortable. She hummed twice like a small animal, and suddenly slapped the sofa, which startled Yicheng.

Ju An said loudly: Happy!So happy!

The voice was unfamiliar and rough, menacing and exuding a presumptuous cheerfulness.

Good drink, really good!You won't let me drink, will you?I prefer to drink it for you to see.You ask me to study literature, but I prefer to study business. I will marry whoever you ask me to marry?You are so beautiful!I can marry whoever I like, look at the downstairs... Ju An sat up from the sofa, staggered to the window, look at this Wangfujing Street, I will get a rag and tie it into a rainbow Throw the ball from here, I will marry whoever it hits, if it hits a pockmark, I will marry a bald man, if it hits a bald man, I will marry a bald man, even if a paralyzed man is pushed into the street, I will marry him if it hits his head!

Ju An giggled, stepped forward and swayed in circles: Dad, let's dance a tango.Tango, do you know what it is?You can't?My mother dances well, let me tell you... She leaned on Yicheng's face, Dad, let me tell you... She said in a strange voice, tango is just waving and waving.

Kasunari hugged Juan tightly and called her name.Let's not dance, shall we?Yicheng coaxed Juan, we were tired from dancing, let's rest for a while, come, Juan, come.

Ju An suddenly put his head on Yicheng's neck, and said softly like a little girl: I know, Dad, you are tired, you are sick, you are not in good health, you can't jump, right?It doesn't matter, I'll take you to see a doctor, I'll find you the best doctor, anyway, she has plenty of money, we use her money to see a doctor, don't be shy.It's nothing, nothing, men can also use women's money.

Qiao Yicheng felt that his neck was getting wet slowly, and Ju An's tears slowly flowed down his neck to his back. He couldn't remember who ever gave him this warm and moist feeling.

Except Wen Ju'an.

Many years ago, and today.

Qiao Yicheng felt very sad.If possible, he would like to start over the past ten years and live his and Ju An's life in a new way, maybe they won't be so painful or suffering.

Yicheng patted Ju An on the back lightly, and told her: Your father is fine, and now he is fine, Ju An.

Ju An calmed down a little, she leaned on his shoulder, and looked sideways at the door that had been closed all along.

Ju An said: Actually, I know, you are not my father, my father is gone.He became ill and later died.

Ju An stretched out his slender index finger and pointed to the door: he died in that room.During the year of his illness, except for a few months in the hospital, he lived in that room until the doctor said he was hopeless, and he wanted to come back, he liked that room He said that if he died, he would die at home.You have no idea how much he loves that room, he said he never imagined in his life that he could live in such a boxy, orderly house with smooth wooden floors under his feet.

You don't know, Juan sniffs, you don't know how self-conscious my father is, he wants to make himself an invisible man, he doesn't want to cause trouble for others, he is so sick, and he has to wash his underwear, vomit After that, I also insisted on mopping the floor clean.At one stage, the treatment was good, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around, and even go for a walk. During that time, he actually cooked me a meal every day and helped me pack my things.

He put his fingers on his lips and let out a "hush".Listen, she said.

Qiao Yicheng pricked up his ears to listen, and asked: What are you listening to, Ju An?

Ju An lowered his voice mysteriously and said: Sometimes, at night, I can still hear him shuffling around the house, pricking——pricking—over and over again.As long as you listen carefully, you can hear it. Do you think he hasn't left yet?My dad, he hasn't left yet?

Qiao Yicheng felt his hairs stand on end.Behind the closed gray door, there seemed to be a real person, staggering, hesitant to go because of a single thought.

Yicheng didn't know how drunk or confused Ju An was, he only knew one thing.

Juan can no longer live here.

He couldn't ask Ju An to die with someone who was already dead.

Although at this time he didn't know how much of Ju'an's grief was for his father and what part was for what, but he decided that Ju'an couldn't live here any longer.

Yicheng picked up a slightly clean dress from the ground and asked Ju An to put it on.Let's go, he said.I'll take you away, we're not here anymore.

Ju An finally fell on his shoulder and cried loudly.No way, she said, no way, you have a wife.You have a wife.

Yicheng waited patiently for Ju'an's crying to subside, and then said: No, I don't have a wife now.

Only you, Ju An.The words were never spoken.

Qiao Yicheng took Wen Ju'an back to his home and stayed there temporarily.

Ju An still wanted to move back to his own home after he sobered up, but Yicheng insisted that even if he wanted to move, he would have to wait until you quit drinking completely.

At least, you can't drink alcohol while working in the unit, and you can't find a drop of alcohol in my place.

Yicheng finally kept Wen Juan.Ian really started to quit drinking with the help of Yicheng.Yicheng was caught twice by her drinking secretly, and Ju An who was caught now didn't try to quibble, but just looked at Yicheng blankly, Yicheng was soft-hearted, but he would not compromise.

Ju An's health is better, but his spirit will be a little trance from time to time.If you think about it, it will be fine, of course it will take time.

Three months after Ju'an moved in, Sanli and Yiding came back from Beijing.

Yicheng found that Wang Yiding's complexion was worse than before he left.

What's bad is not the complexion, but the spirit.

Sanli was alright, her clothes were still neat and tidy, she was a little thinner, but she wasn't too emaciated.Yicheng knew that it was impossible for him to get anything out of Sanli's mouth, but judging from the appearance of the couple, it didn't look like there was any conflict. Although Yiding wasn't as smiling as before, he was still so considerate. Sanli is like a treasure, which cannot be pretended.

When Sanli went to pick up her son at Simei's house, Simei also asked her why she went to Beijing for so long.Sanli refused to speak, and told Simei sternly that Simei was not allowed to go to her elder brother to find out about her.The eldest brother has enough to worry about, he is just getting better now.

It took Simei a long time to say: Sister, look at this Wen Ju'an, will there be any result between her and big brother?
Sanli thought for a long time, and said: I don't know either, but the eldest brother seems to treat her...very differently.

What's different?Simei asked with a smile.

I can't tell, Sanli frowned, big brother, in his heart, consciously or unconsciously, always divides people into different categories, he thinks he is different from us, even if we are as close as husband and wife People, he will be polite with a little alienation in it, only when he feels that he is the same person as us, he will show his heart and soul to others.

Same as us?What kind of people are like us?

Sanli sighed inaudibly: It's hard to say, we haven't read many books, how can we make it so clear?Maybe it's someone who has to work hard to live a better life.

But isn't Wen Ju'an's mother a rich and prestigious person?Simei said, how could she have a bad life?
Sanli looked at Simei, and suddenly reached out to stroke her hair: You girl, you are really...

Simei lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: No, she is born with a lack of heart, and she can't understand no matter how many times she falls.

Sanli suddenly made a movement she had never done before. She stretched her arms and hugged her sister tightly.

Simei is not used to such intimacy, but she is still attached to the indescribable warmth of that moment from the bottom of her heart.They all live in such a trivial and compact way, and have always been. Qiao Simei has longed for a little drama in her life since she was a child, but her drama is only connected with love. There will be dramatization of one thought, which feels strange and beautiful, but also a little embarrassing.

In mid-October of this year, Nanfang entrusted people to bring crabs in two bamboo baskets to Yicheng. Yicheng originally wanted to share one share among several families, but Er Qiang said that crabs need a group of people to get together. It's fun to drink some wine, so I recruited all my brothers and sisters to his shop. Erqiang Sanli and his wife brought their children, Simei and Yicheng were alone, and Qiaoqiao went to Erqiang together. Eat crabs there.Ju'an didn't go, and Kazun also felt that it didn't seem appropriate for Ju'an to go.

The crabs are really fat and delicious. Later, Yicheng also sent a large package of homemade dried vegetables and snacks to the south, which are all favorites in the south.

After they separated, Yicheng felt that getting along with Nanfang became easier.If you are no longer cautious, you will no longer feel strenuous.

[-] arrived in the blink of an eye.

It is rare for Qiao Yicheng's brothers and sisters to spend a year together as a big family.

Ju An also came, and this was the first time she had dinner with Qiao's family.

Not long after the new year, everyone found that old man Joe began to look older day by day.

Speaking of which, he is also nearly 70 years old, thin and dry, and his spirit is not good. The biggest problem is that he has no memory.

At first, he was just forgetting, sometimes he was still looking for things he was holding in his hand, but he couldn’t stay at home anymore, he would run out every now and then, twice he just stuck the key in the door and left Fortunately, the neighbor saw it and didn't have any bad intentions, so he put it away for him.During the daytime, all the brothers and sisters have to go to work and do other things. There is really no one who can come to take care of him. They discuss and ask a nanny to look after him. Er Qiang said that he can pay the nanny fee alone.But old man Qiao didn't appreciate it, and said furiously, Yicheng they tried to harm him in a different way, and got an unknown person, someone who didn't care to put some medicine in his food, and killed him, To sell the old house for money.

He didn't dare to say such things in front of Yicheng, and only scolded Simei who lived at home, which made Simei aggrieved and angry, so he simply let him go.

But not long after, old man Qiao was making food by himself in the kitchen. The gas tank was not turned off properly, and the mouth of the gas tank caught fire. Fortunately, the fire did not become serious, and the rescue was quick. When the fire went down, the small kitchen was already on fire. In the middle of the room, the entire stove was in a mess.Neighbors also complained constantly, saying that he would kill everyone in the yard sooner or later if he continued to be so ignorant, maybe even this alley could not be kept. We all know that this area is full of old houses with wooden beams, If the Qiao family doesn't want to do something about it, they will have to find the neighborhood committee to judge.

So, nanny Qu Aying came to Qiao's old house.

She is in her 50s, from rural Anqing, with black hair, a flat face, slightly buck teeth, and looks clean and crisp.

After the new year, one day, someone came to Qiao Yicheng.
