I wait for you to see through the scenery

On the following weekend, half of Zhou Yao's son-in-law didn't come to the house, but Qu Jia and his family's courtyard kept coming in, and it was very lively.

The former chairman of the trade union and his wife, Cai Shijin, the daughter-in-law of Master Cai, came to find Qu Liandi with a box of "Beijing Eight Pieces" from "Daoxiang Village".This person is usually on the phone in the factory, directing this and that, so he doesn't bother to show up, and rarely has something in his hand.

Qu Liandi lifted the curtain from the room, and greeted him without letting him in: "Yo, what's the matter?"

Is there anything wrong?Master Cai's daughter-in-law waved her hands and frowned at that time, Master Qu, isn't it just about you, I have been waiting for a long time for an answer, what will happen after meeting?Lao Yang insists on sending you a box of pastries, but I have to come over to deliver pastries in this hot weather!

This is the person who was introduced to Qu Liandi seriously, and a group of people who were bored in the factory and went to various houses.

Qu Liandi said: "Hey, I'm so sorry for your trouble, you can take it back and I don't want it either."

Hehe, and then the scene under the sun on a hot day became ignited, and the atmosphere was not quite right.

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law said: "I heard from Lao Yang that if I contacted you last time, I would never show up, so you didn't go to see him?"

Qu Liandi said, "I don't want to see you anymore."

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law's eyebrows were just a few days ago, and when she raised her eyebrows, it seemed that the color was stained from the skin: "Master Qu, you are making me difficult, you are too difficult, I have introduced three, and you are not satisfied with all three?"

Qu Liandi said: "That's what I said, and I didn't ask you to introduce me. If you hand me one, I have to take my fancy and continue?"

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law said: "There are no big girls in the factory who can pick like you, and you have to pick according to your conditions."

Qu Liandi turned her mouth away, and said, "I'm happy to pick or not."

"You still don't like your looks?" Lao Cai's daughter-in-law looked at her, "Old Yang is a bit older, and he looks 'average', but his family's conditions are not bad, and he has a building, how is it compared to your ten-meter hut? "

"What do I care about his conditions?" Qu Liandi said coldly, "I am so old, why am I still short of a bed?"

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law sneered: "Success, then you can just stay single like this and spend it. I don't need to care about you people who don't live well."

Qu Liandi flung out all the photos with a "swish": "Then you can take the photo of someone else, and don't leave it here for me, it's not pleasing to look at!"

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law had a long face, so depressed that she almost didn't wipe the soles of her shoes with the photo of her blind date.

This shrewd and capable daughter-in-law has already been promoted from the deputy chief of the administrative department to an official in the factory office. After all, she has been in the factory for many years and has deep qualifications.The bigger the official is, the more stalls she wants to take care of. She wants to take care of both men and women. She probably doesn't like the group of elderly orphans and widows in the factory. The people are ashamed.My own life is getting richer, I have a house and a car, and my children are promising. I feel that my middle-aged marriage is so happy, and I especially look down on those who are not living smoothly and living incompletely.

Old Cai's daughter-in-law swept her sharp eyes over, intending to shoot down even the dried plums hanging on the eaves of Qu Jia's house: "Qu Liandi, you were like this when you were young, who do you think is pleasing to your eye? ... Just look at it. Then who, Chen Mingjian is very fond of you, what happened?!"

Qu Liandi wanted to throw the broom in her hand to gag someone.

As soon as the curtain behind him was lifted, Wang Guisheng came out with dark hands, carrying a rag, and said, "It's been a long time, you two, is it done? Qu Liandi really doesn't like anyone, so don't give her a blind introduction, you should go now." chant."

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law raised one foot and was about to wipe the soles of her shoes, yo, she went blind and almost stumbled!

This also introduces a shit object.

"Wang, Gui, Sheng!" Lao Cai's daughter-in-law's face was trembling, and she said, "You two, are you playing around?"

Qu Liandi frowned: "What did I play with you?"

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law pointed and said: "Hey, if you were with this person, you would have known about it if you didn't know Wang Guisheng. Son."

Qu Liandi didn't show any weakness, and stepped forward and said, "I don't know who I'm with?!" Wang Guisheng hurriedly pulled the person away: "You are so old, don't talk nonsense, so your wife is full of wrinkles , Talking to see whether people are reliable or not? I come here to help someone pass a flue pipe, sweep the dust, what am I doing?"

Old Cai's daughter-in-law clicked her tongue: "Do you need to pass the flue pipe in her house?"

Wang Guisheng's words are not easy to provoke: "Could it be possible to use you? You definitely won't do it either."

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law said: "Is there no half-grown young man in the family?"

Wang Guisheng said: "A half-grown guy is not as reliable as an old guy like me. Didn't he catch gas last time? I helped someone dig out a stove pond to see if your nose is not a nose or an eye—what's the matter with you?" ?”

Why didn't the leader of the factory office introduce Lu Jun'er's father to Master Qu at the beginning? Obviously, he was not from the same way.

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law walked out, turned her head and said: "You still remember the year of the monkey, you remember it really clearly."

Qu Liandi really threw the broom for cleaning the pot in his hand.

Throw it accurately, "snap"!

It's lively.

Two famous shrews in the machine tool factory quarreled and fought. They used to have quarrels and quarrels in the past. They had quarreled when they were young. Who is afraid of whom?

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law was full of anger, and she turned her head to glance at the window eaves of Qu Jia's house: "A piece of salted fish has been hung up, and I can smell it from the factory yard every ten miles. Woolen cloth!"

Qu Liandi yelled back: "If you're smoked to death, just get out of here and stay, don't come here in the future!"

Wang Guisheng was still carrying a rag on his black arms, and tilted his neck with joy: "Let's go, then who, who doesn't know, thinks that you are here to find fault with Qu Liandi and scold the street for me. How can I explain it to Lao Cai later? It's embarrassing." shame?"

"It's just you, don't let your mother be so beautiful!" Lao Cai's daughter-in-law left behind a sentence and ran away.

Wang Guisheng was already smug, he flicked the rag narcissistically, and laughed a few times in a rough voice: "This is the first time I have met in this life, the two girls are pinching each other in front of me, just because I entered someone's house door."

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law hastily turned around the corner of the neighbor's house, and kicked over the basin with soaked clothes in the face.

When he looked up, he was the son of Qu Liandi's family.

Qu Jia looked at her with a cigarette in his mouth, why did he come here.

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law shook her lips: "Go and see your mother, heh."

Qu Jia rolled his eyelids: "What happened to my mother?"

Lao Cai's daughter-in-law was waiting for this to happen: "Don't go home quickly, what were your mother and that Wang Guisheng doing in the house just now, do you know..."

"What's the matter with you?" Qu Jiayan said softly without leaving his mouth, "Are you here to open the window to watch?"

The pot of wet clothes in the neighbor's house was completely on the ground, and it smelled like washing powder. After a burst of "Ding Ding Bang Bang", the yard completely stopped.

As soon as Qu Jia entered the house, he threw himself on the bed and plugged in the Walkman earphones.

It was already hot and angry, and my heart was inexplicably irritable.

After all, I care about the disgusting eyes of others, and I will be affected by gossip.This old Cai's daughter-in-law is here to collect gossip and spread gossip.The idlers in Minger's factory are chewing again: Back then, two old guys in cuckolds got together, and the two bear sons raised by those two families were not easy-going lamps, this time it's enough to see.

Qu Liandi and Wang Guisheng, who had no tacit understanding before, became in tacit understanding.Qu Liandi gave Wang Guisheng two winks: the children are back, you should get out of here too, don't let anyone gossip about me.

Wang Guisheng nodded: I've finished the work for you, so I'm going to get out of here.

Qu Jia pulled out the earphones, took the guitar, tuned it, and plucked the strings.I haven't practiced for a long time. I hug Yaoyao when Zhou Yao is around, and I can only practice piano when Zhou Yao is not around.

Wang Guisheng wiped his hands stained with soot, and stood at the door: "Hey, uncle can also play strings, but he's not as fashionable as you, so I'll play the erhu for you someday?"

Qu Jia nodded: "Success."

With Qu Jia's temper, he didn't flirt with the man or scold him. Wang Guisheng also felt a little grateful at that time, smiled and waved away: "Someday you want to eat something new, just tell me."

Qu Jia said "hmm", plucked the piano sound, and watched the other party's back.

This person always comes, and when he comes, he makes certain "expectations" a habit, which is very bad.Really?What if one day he suddenly doesn't come?

……

Qu Liandi has been nice to her son recently.I don't know if it was out of compensatory psychology, the past few years have been so tight that I have treated Qu Jia badly, so I took out a few thousand yuan in deposits, and finally installed a phone at home.

Now the monthly wages of ordinary workers in the factory are more than 800 yuan and 1000 yuan, and they can save up large appliances. This is a consumption habit.Qu Liandi looked at the phone: "It seems that I have not called anyone seriously for many years."

"You fight." Qu Jia said.

"I don't like to contact people blindly, who should I call? I usually use the office one to talk about something, and it doesn't cost money anyway." Qu Liandi said.

Mentally, people gradually become dull and lazy like this, and they seem to seal themselves behind a wall, and they are unwilling to go out again.I want this face, I want self-esteem, I don't want to listen to gossip and ridicule from outsiders, I would rather be smelly and harden into a stone.

"Okay, you can call. I know you are talking on the phone, so don't block the door of the alley and occupy other people's public phones endlessly!" Qu Liandi mocked her son.

"It's Zhou Yao who always calls me." Qu Jia was very dragged, "He always calls me, and he insists on asking me to call back, so I don't bother to look for him."

"Oh." Qu Liandi sneered, "Hurry up and tell them our number?"

"He's not here, he's gone to the summer camp, he's out of town." Qu Jia's voice revealed a trace of strong resentment.

He added another sentence: "I thought you were going to have a conversation with Wang Lujun's father on the phone, and suddenly the phone was fixed."

Qu Liandi said, "Come on, I'll take care of him!", and quickly ran away with the grocery basket.

Mother and son are really heart-to-heart, with the same temperament, duplicity and insincerity, and the mouth can never express what is in the heart.

Originally, I wanted to talk to my son, "What's the matter with you recently, are you too sticky with Yaoyao and have made too many phone calls"?To some extent, Wang Guisheng was a little distracted by this matter. Qu Liandi herself was also guilty, and she didn't know how to tell her son. She was afraid that Qu Jiaxie would be unhappy, so she didn't say anything at all.

The two people under the same roof have always been secretive lately, doing their own things, and never reporting to each other truthfully where they went when they went out.Qu Liandi had worries that she didn't want to talk about, and Qu Jia also had worries about him.

As soon as his mother left, Qu Jia didn't waste a minute, and actively called his new phone number on Zhou Yao's pager.

All afternoon and evening he plucked at the strings, absentmindedly.He sang Zhou Yao's favorite songs, seven or eight in a row.The summer evening sun shone into his kitchen, casting a layer of light on the basin of the chopping board, imagining Zhou Yao standing there, smiling at him and listening to him sing.

Zhou Yao came to call at night, and when the phone rang, Qu Jia jumped up from the bed, without looking at his mother's face, and quickly sat next to the phone on the window sill.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Yao's voice was hoarse and tired, but he was in high spirits.

"Why not? I have nothing to do." Qu Jia said.

"I just came back from the suburbs of Chengdu today, and we went to see giant pandas. The place is well built, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and we even went in to touch the pandas." Zhou Yao was eloquent.

"Well, is it cool?" Qu Jia said.

"It's really cool to play." Zhou Yao said sincerely, "It's a pity that you are not here. I will show you the photo of me holding a panda later."

"I want to hug you." Qu Jia's voice was very soft, covered by the volume of Qu Liandi watching TV.

"What did you say?" Zhou Yao didn't hear clearly.

Unable to utter the ideological activity of "I want to kiss you and hug you" out loud, Qu Jia suddenly yelled into the receiver: "Yaoyao!"

Zhou Yao smiled immediately: "Ming-bai, Jiajia."

The secret code between the two, calling "Yaoyao" affectionately, represents all the closest.I want to hug you, I want to kiss you, I want to lick the base of your little tongue, I want you to accompany me.

The first semester of high school is over, and they are all on vacation.Needless to say about the test results, Zhou Yao, as a representative of outstanding students and class cadres in his grade, went to participate in the summer camp organized by the city, and took the green leather train to Chengdu.Look at this heavenly place chosen, the teachers of the education bureau who run the summer camp are probably also foodies.

Qu Jia was left in Beijing again. His so-called class committee member was just dawdling, and such a good thing was not his fault.Zhou Yao is too good, all good things are Zhou Yao's.

Zhou Yao hurriedly said, "There are a lot of people queuing up at the back, and each person will talk for 10 minutes. I have to hang up."

"Chat with me for a while longer," Qu Jia said harshly, "Let the people behind you line up and take care of them!"

"What's the matter..." Zhou Yao whispered, "Miss me?"

"You are rarer than pandas, let's talk for a while." Qu Jia said.

"There are more than 1000 pandas, and there are only a few like me." Zhou Yao laughed.

"Is this your only end?" Qu Jia said.

There are many troublesome things, but I can't say them on the phone, so I stay silent, wasting every minute and every second of precious time, until the good student Zhou Yao can't bear the shame, so he gives the receiver to the queue behind, leaving Give Qu Jia an annoying busy tone...

Zhou Yao participated in a summer camp and came back within ten days.After paying hundreds of dollars for activity fees and clothing fees, my forehead and the back of my neck were exposed to the sun.

But during the ten days he was away, many important things happened.

In the early morning of the next day, before the greening team started work, Comrade Wang Guisheng came over and sent a box of small yellow croaker fish, and asked Qu Liandi to fry the yellow croaker fish for his son. The child must love it.

"Don't bother me in the future, just leave it to Lu Juner to eat." Qu Liandi said, "Look at that child who is also as thin as a monkey, with this and that problem, it's not easy."

"Isn't a monkey skinny like a monkey? He's the same age as you, Qu Jia." Wang Guisheng stood at the door and didn't enter the house. "It's not easy for the two children."

Qu Liandi smiled and nodded, thank you.

Qu Liandi went into the room again and took a large plastic bag of western medicine: "It was prescribed in Qu Jia's name, and it's for you Lu Juner. I also prescribed more cold and anti-inflammatory medicines. I think it will be useful. I'll always eat your home." Things, I'm so sorry."

"A pile of medicine is much more expensive than yellow croaker!" Wang Guisheng said frankly, "I owe you a favor, and I'm sorry!"

"Don't say that... Do you often go to the hospital recently, and I will prescribe everyone's medicines by the way." Qu Liandi forced a smile, "In the future, you don't have to come here for a walk at night, it's troublesome .”

"Why do you often go to the hospital? Are you in poor health?" Wang Guisheng asked.

"No, no, prescribing medicine for others..." Qu Liandi interrupted.

Wang Guisheng stood five or six steps away from the door, carrying the big bag of medicine and a can of candied melons that Qu Liandi gave him: "I don't want to be troublesome, I'm running around on a hot day, so you can come to my house to sit and eat some other day. "

Qu Liandi remained silent.

Wang Guisheng said: "I didn't let you come alone, bring your son."

Qu Liandi said, "There's no excuse to eat."

Wang Guisheng said, "Why is there no excuse? Your son likes to eat my cooking, so he doesn't dislike it, right? This is an excuse, and you stop him from eating?"

"Why did I stop him?" Qu Liandi said, "Then, let him eat at your house next time."

"If he comes by himself, then I'll give him gruel." Wang Guisheng smiled, "I entertain him, it's for your sake."

Some words have come to the lips, just like the usual family chat, so I said it. "Master Qu, you have been alone for several years, and I have been alone for several years. Usually, you don't even have a speaker. Talk to your son? That's so annoying! If you are fed and raised, you will be fine! I'm not too old, so I'm bored and panic. I'm not tired of working with you, but I feel happy when someone talks.

"Our bunch of retired and laid-off old guys have long since left for tea. No one greeted us when we entered the gate of the machine tool factory, and we all hid away. We were afraid that we would come to ask for money and medical expenses. As long as you still care about asking two In other words, help me and Lu Juner to prescribe a medicine, otherwise... otherwise our family can't afford the medicine and can't cure the disease. How many people in our factory are waiting outside to get up and kick their legs... From now on, you The stove is piled up with coal ash again, or the sewer is blocked, just say a word, don't think I come here often." Wang Guisheng finished speaking.

The neighbor's aunt held the washbasin, "slapped" the screen door, and at a glance, she recognized the man's face, and she moved her feet back, her special wink returned.

It was rare for Qu Liandi to speak unhappy: "...um."

"I just feel that we two are quite suitable, no one will dislike the other. I am old and have seen a lot of moths. There are not many people who can make me feel that there is nothing wrong with being a reliable person. There are not many people left who can chat with each other!" Wang Guisheng said, "Anyway, you can figure it out!"

Qu Liandi's heart is very disturbed, what to do?

She still had another worry in her heart, and she didn't tell her family members, and she didn't dare to tell Qu Jia.

People of this age will no longer have so many romantic moods, but some have experienced the vicissitudes of life and the ability to recognize people.Look for it, it is almost him (her), expressing warmth and coldness is a few dishes of home-cooked food, a piece of roast meat, and a box of small yellow croaker.That's what Wang Lujun's father said back then, it's quite appropriate, you can figure it out.

……

A minute after Wang Guisheng left, Qu Liandi was staring at the pickled melon jar on the window sill in a daze, ready to "figure it out", when Qu Jia pushed the screen door and came out with a toothbrush in her mouth.

Qu Jia finished spitting toothpaste into the faucet, covered his head and face, and washed himself in cold water.

The water ran down his neck, and he stood in front of his mother's eyes, under the wall.

"You, what's the matter?" Qu Liandi was stunned, "Did you hear that?"

Qu Jia: "Yes."

Qu Liandi said in a low voice: "Then, you don't think it's suitable."

Qu Jia wiped off the scum from the corner of his mouth, and said solemnly: "Mom, what I said last time is still true. I don't care who you want to go to."

Qu Liandi felt relieved: "You look pleasing to the eye?"

"It's not a matter of whether I like it or not." Qu Jia was rarely too straightforward, with a complicated expression, "Mom, otherwise you...you can ask someone to ask if his son likes it, and see if I like it? His son If you don’t like it, it’s a waste of time.”

Qu Liandi raised her eyebrows: "What happened to his son? You won't deal with him?"

"It's nothing to me." Qu Jia picked up the handle of the toothbrush and muttered, "The special medicine you prescribed for that kid from the hospital is quite expensive. It seems to treat nasal cavity pain, nasal congestion and pus... Wang Lujun The problem you got half a year ago, right?"

Qu Liandi: "You know?"

Qu Jia said: "He bullied people outside, was beaten, and was kicked on the nose. It seemed that the cartilage was broken, and pus kept leaking out."

Qu Liandi was surprised: "It's so serious, it was a fight?...Do you know who kicked that kick?"

"I know," Qu Jia looked at his mother, "I kicked that kick."

After a long while, Qu Liandi was stunned with anger: "You child, Qu Jia, is there something wrong with you?...Did you really kick someone's child's nose? Then, does Wang Guisheng know that you did it?"

"I must know." Qu Jia looked desperate.

"Why do you have nothing to fight with their family Wang Lujun?" Qu Liandi really wanted to throw the pickle jar on the window sill at her son, it's really hard to be human, "You don't want to let me worry?!"

Qu Jia looked indifferent: "He was bullying Zhou Yao at that time, can I not deal with him?

"If you don't succeed because of me, am I... sorry for you.

"You can figure it out, I have no objection."

Let's figure it out.

After Qu Jia finished speaking, he entered the room, put on his clothes, turned his head and went out.

During the three months of summer vacation, I just go out to watch stalls, sing in karaoke halls, and work part-time to earn money.It's really shameless to let my mother take care of it, let's take care of myself, and I have to earn pocket money for dates and dinners to coax Yaoyao.

I really want to hug Yaoyao, and I can also act coquettishly and ask for comfort.But Zhou Yao is not here these days, Zhou Yao is happy to hold a giant panda in Chengdu.

It's also rare for him to tell his mother the truth.I never said "I'm sorry for you" before, but after growing up a few years later, I became more mature and sensible, and finally I was able to develop some empathy.I have a partner now, and I am no longer a lonely and awkward person, and his mother has been single all these years because of him.

……
