fire rescue

After a cloudy day, at night the sky finally began to drizzle, the whole Lingquan was wet, and the air became better.Zheng Yi and Bai Hewei were bored at home all day, and they had to go out in the evening.

Zheng Yixian sent Bai Hewei to the banquet set by Han Yunqing, while he drove to his mother's house.

Today happened to be the second Sunday in May—it was Mother's Day, so the meaning was good. In his left hand, he held the iPad that he and Bai Hewei had just bought at the mall, and in his right hand, he held a bouquet of carnations from a nearby flower shop.The scent of flowers all over his body, mixed with the smell of sports perfume from Bai Hewei's body, lingering on the tip of his nose, failed to soothe his nerves and calm him down, his right eyelid twitched even more.

Mother seems to have replaced the door lock with a new one in order to prevent him, an uninvited guest, from suddenly visiting, and Zheng Yi's key can no longer open the door.He freed up one hand to press the doorbell, and after it rang twice, someone came to open the door. He had imagined countless scenes of seeing his mother goodbye, but he didn't expect that when the door opened, there would be a strange man standing inside.Zheng Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had gone to the wrong door, so he took two steps back subconsciously, but the man said: "Xiao Yi is here, come quickly, come in quickly, your mother is cooking in the kitchen."

Zheng Yi had a vague guess in his heart, and took the shortest time to look at the man. He was not tall, but very thin. He was wearing a gray striped shirt with the hem of the shirt tucked into his jeans. Glasses, holding the remote control in his hand, was smiling gently at him.

Zheng Yi was let in, the man took the gift and bouquet he had prepared, changed his shoes, and shouted inside: "Hongxia, Xiao Yi is back."

Mother came out of the kitchen with a handful of coriander in her hand. Seeing that Zheng Yi was still a little indifferent, she just said to him: "This is your Uncle Zhao, let's chat first, and eat later."

"Hmm." Zheng Yi nodded hesitantly, and greeted this Uncle Zhao, "Hello, Uncle Zhao." This Uncle Zhao should be his mother's new lover, he looks quite easy-going, like a scholar, so he shouldn't be a bad person.

Zheng Yi found out that the house has been redecorated, with newly laid floor tiles, freshly painted walls, and even replaced old furniture with new ones. There is a bigger TV on the wall, with better clarity. .There was an indescribable feeling in Zheng Yi's heart, which was complicated and difficult to accept.It seems that for more than a year, even without him, my mother has lived a good life, throwing away many old things, abandoning him, welcoming new lovers, and adding new decorations to the house.Zheng Yi felt that maybe he really had dragged his mother down for a long time, without him, his mother had a better life.

Seeing that he was hesitant to sit down, the man hurriedly said to him: "Xiao Yi, sit down quickly and eat some fruit."

There are emerald green melons and one-yuan coin-sized cherries in the fruit plate, red and green, so lively.The man came over with a large handful of cherries, Zheng Yi had no choice but to take it with both hands, "Thank you..." Zheng Yi said.

"In my own home, why are you being polite." The man said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, I have to introduce myself. My name is Zhao Mingyu, and I'm pursuing your mother now."

It turned out that he was just pursuing status and not being together yet, but why is he here tonight?

"Hello." Zheng Yi greeted.

"Don't be too polite, sooner or later we will belong to the family." The man seemed very confident, but his face blushed unconsciously. He didn't feel uncomfortable, and said, "Eat quickly, these cherries are delicious. My son sent it back from Suijiang, and I just received it today, very fresh." Suijiang's climate and soil conditions are rich in cherries, and the quality has reached the export level. Even though it is the peak season now, the price in fruit shops is still high. Not high enough.

Zheng Yi put a cherry in his mouth, the sweet and sour taste was really delicious.But when he remembered that since he entered the house, he was like an outsider who came to visit his relatives, and his nose unconsciously became sore.At this moment, the sound of the range hood stopped abruptly, and the mother came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes. She put the dishes on the table and said to them, "Come on, let's eat."

Zhao Mingyu stood up first, and said, "Xiao Yi, are you hungry, let's go and eat."

Zheng Yi put the cherry in his hand back into the fruit plate, stood up, and said, "I'm going to wash my hands first."

The bathroom is naturally also newly decorated. After washing his hands, he found that there was only a towel on the towel rack, but he was useless. He just wiped his hands with a paper. The man was serving soup and rice for his mother, and he was politely talking to his mother. No matter what the content is, the faces of the two people are full of inexplicable happiness.

The new dining table is covered with a floral tablecloth and covered with a glass panel, which is much cleaner than before.Zheng Yi found a place quite far away to sit down, at this moment Zhao Mingyu winked at him, motioning him to sit beside his mother.Zheng Yi stood up hesitantly, but his mother said, "Just sit there."

Zheng Yi put his butt back on the chair again, without saying a word.

There are many dishes on the table that he likes, but he has no appetite.Before coming, Bai Hewei specifically asked him to be obedient, don't be stubborn, after eating this meal is a good start, Zheng Yi is also convinced of this, he can't stop encouraging himself before going upstairs Son, but the current situation completely shattered his confidence, not even a scum was left.

Zheng Yi's vision became blurred, and he didn't even dare to stretch his chopsticks too far. There was a plate of vegetables in front of him, and he only picked them up twice, before he started to pick up the rice.

Because of the presence of outsiders, the mother may also be suppressing her emotions. Neither mother nor son spoke. Zhao Mingyu seemed to want to adjust the atmosphere. He put a piece of pork ribs in Zheng Yi's bowl and asked him, "Xiao Yi, I heard that you are here Are you working in Changchun Town?"

"Well, it's..." Zheng Yi nodded, tears fell into the rice.Zhao Mingyu seemed to have seen it, pulled a tissue and handed it to him, just about to say something, but was interrupted by his mother: "If you want to chat, we can talk after dinner."

Zheng Yi took the paper towel and held it in his hands, not to mention looking at his frosty mother. He couldn't figure out why he was called back for dinner with such an attitude.

Zheng Yi barely finished the rice in the bowl, and he didn't eat much, and Zhao Mingyu gave it to him.He put down his chopsticks, and Zhao Mingyu asked, "Are you full?"

"En." Zheng Yi responded hoarsely from his throat, and his mother also put down the chopsticks and stopped eating.

"Then I'll wash the dishes." Zhao Mingyu stood up and said to Zheng Yi, "Have a good chat with your mother, mother and son haven't seen each other for a long time." As he spoke, he skillfully packed away the dishes.

The mother sat there without moving, and Zheng Yi also did not move. When the mother stood up, Zheng Yi also stood up.He followed his mother into the living room, and remembered that the things he had brought were still on the shoe cabinet at the door, so he went to pick them up and put them on the coffee table, and said, "Mom, today is Mother's Day, I bought something for you."

Unexpectedly, she didn't even look at it, pointed to the sofa next to her, and said to him, "Sit here."

Zheng Yi sat down, didn't know where to put his hands, and didn't dare to look at his mother, his eyes wandered.

"Are you still with that surnamed Bai?"

Zheng Yi didn't want to lie in exchange for forgiveness, so he nodded and said, "Yes." But his voice was very small, mixed with the sound of rushing water from the kitchen, and soon disappeared.

Chu Hongxia leaned on the sofa with her arms wrapped around her chest. When she heard the answer, she turned her head away and stopped looking at him.Her chest rose and fell, as if she had taken a big breath.There was a stalemate in silence for a while, Zheng Yi wanted to get up and leave, Zhao Mingyu came out of the kitchen at this time, seeing the situation of the mother and child, he quickly said: "Hongxia, didn't you promise me to have a good talk with the child?"

"I can't go on." Chu Hongxia choked, "Now when I think of the good son I brought up with my own hands, I don't even want my mother because of a man, and I get angry. If you didn't force me to make that phone call, I wouldn't have to Think about this stupid thing again."

Zheng Yi seemed to understand a little bit, the man seemed to intend to reconcile the relationship between him and his mother, that's why he had the opportunity to be called to the house for dinner, he came with hope when he came, but now he is full of disappointment.In this case, he felt that there was no need for him to stay any longer, stood up, and said to his mother and Zhao Mingyu: "Mom, since I made you so unhappy, I will go first, take care of yourself. Also, thank you , Uncle Zhao."

"Hey..." Zhao Mingyu seemed to be trying to stop him.

But the mother waved her hand, "You let him go."

Zheng Yi almost bit his lips with his teeth to suppress the urge to shed tears, he went to the door to change his shoes, and left without looking back.

The rain outside seems to be getting heavier, and the pattering of the rain is very rhythmic.Zheng Yi walked downstairs slowly, he was so confused that he didn't know where to go. He seemed to hear the sound of arguing upstairs, but it was quickly covered by the sound of rain.

The car was parked a little far away, and Zheng Yi walked there in a daze, the rain streaming down his hair.Before he could reach the car, the rain on his head stopped. He turned his head, and Zhao Mingyu smiled at him with a big umbrella.

"Uncle Zhao, why did you come out?"

Zhao Mingyu didn't answer him, but just asked: "Is it convenient to sit in your car for a while?"

"Well, yes."

The two were sitting in the car, Zhao Mingyu handed him a cigarette and asked, "Can you smoke?"

"Yes." Zheng Yi took the cigarette, just as he needed it too.

The faint light of the fire shone in the darkness, and Zhao Mingyu didn't speak until he finished smoking a cigarette: "Actually, your mother misses you a lot, but she just has a stubborn mouth, so don't worry about it. From the news, I saw that two people died in the Longzhushan fire. The phone still can't be reached, she hasn't slept in the past two days, I'm afraid that you are the one who caused the accident."

"If it was me who had the accident, she might be relieved too." Zheng Yi muttered angrily.

Zhao Mingyu was in a hurry, "Why are you talking like that, kid? Do you know how happy she is after the call is connected?"

"Then she... If she doesn't want to see me, why bother asking me to come back. "

"I made it up." Zhao Mingyu knocked out another cigarette, and lit it on his own. "I'm selfish."

"Huh?" Zheng Yi looked at Zhao Mingyu in confusion, and in the darkness, he couldn't make out the expression of this middle-aged man.

I just heard him say: "I divorced very early, and my ex-wife went abroad. I took my son to live for many years until he matured. I met your mother at a party, and the two of us got along quite well. Slow down Slowly get familiar with..."
