Jia Ru can come back

Chapter 175 Rice grain painting
As I walked towards the school gate, I lowered my head and asked, "Tell mom, why don't you paint when the teacher asks you to paint?"

Mi Li replied sullenly, "I don't know how to draw."

"Didn't the teacher demonstrate on the blackboard?"

"I did, but Mr. Zhou said that I should draw according to the appearance of my parents. I can only draw myself and my mother, but I can't draw my father, because I don't know what my father looks like."

Mi Li's words made me feel awkward. He didn't mean to hurt anyone, but he was simply telling the truth.At this time, he happened to be at the school gate, and when he looked up, he saw the figure standing outside the school gate and still did not leave.I suddenly said: "Just draw according to his appearance."

Mi Li asked me in confusion: "Who is Mom talking about?"

"Uncle standing over there, you fill the painting just like him."

In fact, I know that with Mi Li's current level of painting, even painting himself is still an abstract art, but hearing his sullen words makes me feel sour.

Mi Li's small head looked over there, then raised her head and asked naively: "Is it really possible?"

I met that probing gaze and responded softly, "Yes."

Mi Li finally smiled, grabbed my hand and was about to go home, "Mom, let's go home quickly, I want to go back and draw, and I can hand it over to Teacher Zhou tomorrow when I finish the drawing."

Doubt flashed in the man's eyes, and he walked straight over when his eyes were slightly lowered.

When I got a few steps away, I saw that he was about to speak, but I heard Mi Lixing hurriedly ask: "Uncle, can you come to our house?"Immediately afterwards, he gave me the answer - "Just go for a while, let me draw a picture like you, and treat it as..."

I hurriedly interrupted: "Mi Li, uncle has something to do." I felt like I dug a hole and was pushed into it by Mi Li.

"But I can't draw without looking at Uncle." Mi Li was distressed.

"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, uncle is not busy. Since you invited uncle to your house to play, how about I buy you delicious food?"

Mi Li's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Is this still fake? Tell me, what do you like to eat?"

"French fries, and chicken nuggets."

"Would you like some ice cream?"

As soon as Mi Li heard this, she looked back at me excitedly, and said in a begging tone, "Mom, is it okay?"

Except that I only allow him to eat cold drinks in summer, and the weather in May is still a bit cool.And the problem at this time is not whether to eat ice cream, but to dig a hole for no reason and find something wrong and jump into it.

"No. Your grandma and grandpa are back. Uncle called us to eat together. Sister Walnut will also go."

After all, Mi Li was a child, so he immediately drew attention: "Really? I'm going to play with Little Walnut."

The man who was left out by the side couldn't help coughing twice and said: "Rice, didn't you say you eat French fries and chicken nuggets?"

Mi Li replied seriously: "My mother disagrees, and I want to play with Little Walnut, Uncle, can I invite you next time?"

Seeing the annoyed expression on that face, I finally let out a sigh of relief.

But with a flash of black eyes, the topic went back to painting: "Mi Li, what did you just say you wanted to draw like your uncle?" I thought it was too late to stop, Mi Li replied without thinking: "The teacher asked us to draw 'My parents and I', I can't draw because I haven't seen what my father looks like, so my mother said to draw according to my uncle's appearance."

"..." I was speechless.

And when the raised black eyes looked over again, their eyes became complicated.

Fortunately, a phone call came in at this time, I immediately lowered my head and took out the phone from my bag, and when I saw the screen, it was my mother calling.My mother asked me where I was now. Their car was coming to the apartment building, and they wanted to pick me up with Mi Li.While I reported the exit point of the kindergarten, I dragged Mi Li to the intersection. Although I didn't hear footsteps following behind me, I could feel that the eyes on my back hadn't moved.

After standing at the intersection for half a minute, I saw Uncle Wei's son's black nanny car driving up. As soon as the car stopped, my mother pushed the door down with a smile on her face, and immediately picked up the rice grains.I urged them to get in the car quickly. Parking is not allowed here, and points will be deducted if they are caught by the electronic police.When I got into the car, I glanced out of the car window, and the figure was still standing there, but my eyes fell on the driver's seat.

Uncle Wei's son is Wei Dongting, who is two years younger than me, but their small walnuts are only half a year younger than rice grains.As soon as I got in the car, I asked about his wife and children, and said that I went to the hotel first.

As soon as the car drove onto the track, I felt the phone in my bag vibrate. I frowned imperceptibly, and took out the phone to check the message from him, but I didn't expect it to be so sharp: why should the rice grains be made to follow my appearance? Draw his dad?

I thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what to do, and finally threw the phone into the bag.

During the dinner, my mother and Uncle Wei were talking about their trip to Jiuzhaigou, and Mi Li was playing with Wei Dongting's daughter, Little Walnut. The family atmosphere was quite good.

However, I am a little absent-minded.

The mobile phone on the table did not receive text messages, but this was abnormal.Shouldn't it be continuing to ask the question to the end?Why did you send such a message and stop before I responded?It doesn't fit his character.

"Xiao Ru?" My mother's raised voice pulled me back from my distraction, and I saw that everyone present was looking at me, obviously I didn't know what topic I was talking about just now.I just heard my mother complain: "What are you thinking, and you don't concentrate on eating."

I slightly bent the corners of my lips and remained silent. If I said something important, my mother would bring it up again.But when my mother changed the subject and asked if Mi Li had any nosebleeds in the past two days, I shook my head and said no.

In fact, everyone is used to me talking less, so they won't take offense at my silence, of course, except for my mother.

When I took the rice grains to the bathroom, my mother came out together, and when there was no one in private, she asked me directly: "Is there something going on in the store these two days? Why do you see that you are always restless?"

I lowered my eyes and said: "What can I do? It's just a little busy because of the small holiday."

"Then what's the matter with your foot, don't fool your mother for your Uncle Wei, it must not be sprained from walking."

When I arrived at the hotel and got out of the car, Uncle Wei noticed that my feet were bumpy. When I asked why, I said it was a sprain. At that time, my mother only looked at me and didn’t comment. I was surprised that I was waiting here. .

There is nothing to hide from my mother, but I still have a choice when telling the truth. I just said that I accidentally hit my foot when changing the oolong tea bucket.Mom frowned and asked why I should change the tea bucket, where is Mingzai?After hearing what I said, I couldn't help but sighed: "Xiaoru, didn't mom want to talk about you, are you planning to stay single like this forever and have no one around?"

I don't turn my face away and remain silent.

"When I ask someone to introduce you, you always refuse. Gang Xiaohui suggested that you go on a trip organized by her company, but you didn't make a sound. You are only in your early thirties, and the rice grains are so small, why don't you agree? think about it?"

It turned out that Wei Dongting's wife, Xiaohui, wanted to set up a relationship with me just now, because once she and a group of colleagues came to the store to buy drinks, one of the male colleagues asked her to hint to me afterwards, but I pretended not to understand.

I have nothing to say about my mother's worries, so I can only bypass the topic by raising my voice and asking if the rice grains in the men's room are good.

Hearing Mi Li's crisp response from inside, the door was soon opened, but seeing an adult figure walking out, I didn't pay attention but heard the other party ask: "Lawyer Jia? Are you here too?"

When I fixed my eyes, I realized that it was a colleague from the former court, and it was only from one department.I nodded my head and greeted the other party, but I heard the other party's suggestion: "The head is still there, do you want Lawyer Jia to sit in our box?"

I paused in my heart, and responded with a smile: "No, I'm having dinner with my family here, next time."

But——his eyes passed me, and he called out loudly: "Head, I met Lawyer Jia."

His body froze slightly, he turned around, his flowing eyes met those peaceful eyes, the complicated past flashed before his eyes like a movie, and then slowly faded away like a cloud of smoke, until finally only silence remained.

After my mother took the rice grains and returned to the box first, there were only the two of us left in the corridor.

When I walked out of the court that year, Xiao Dong was standing behind me. I couldn't see how much disappointment and pain there was in his eyes. on a parallel line.

In fact, even in the same city, after leaving the legal industry, my home and store are almost on the same line, and the activity area is only at the door of my home.Therefore, in reality, there are really not as many encounters as in the novel.

After more than three years, Xiao Dong was wearing a dark gray suit with a straight back, just like his rigid and serious appearance in memory.

In the end, I broke the stagnation: "Long time no see."

He turned his eyes to look elsewhere, and said in a low voice, "Not long ago, just over three years."

Then it was relatively silent.Just when I was about to leave, I heard Xiao Dong ask lowly: "Where are you now? Are you working in a law firm or similar business?"

I was silent for a while, and answered truthfully: "I am not engaged in a legal-related industry. I am currently opening a beverage store and being my own boss."

After the silence circulated, Xiao Dong spoke again with a serious tone: "You have studied law for four years, and practiced law for four years, and finally gave up all of them to open a beverage store? Jia Ru, you really impress me."
