Unique memory

Xu Jia's arm was injured, and when he returned to the community, Wei Lingyang helped him carry his things upstairs, and when he got home, he found that Jiang Yan had returned.

Jiang Yan's work has been relatively smooth in the past two years, and she has reached the level of deputy manager, but her work is getting more and more busy. Before Xu Jia said she would come back from high school, she was unable to do so because of a temporary business trip. Dazed for a moment, he stood at the door and looked at her sitting on the sofa.

"Jiajia is back? Your mother just arrived, and she asked me where you were when she came back?" Mother Jiang saw them, got up and said with a smile, "Why are you just standing at the door? Come in with Yangyang."

"Come in." Xu Jia said to Wei Lingyang.

"I won't go in, I'll leave my things here." Wei Lingyang saw that Jiang Yan came back rarely, and knew that the family had something to say, so he didn't bother him too much, and put the clothes bag in his hand in the On the shoe cabinet, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "Jiajia, the injury on your hand must not touch the water, the doctor said that it is so serious that you must take good care of it."

His words attracted everyone's attention. When Mother Jiang heard it, she came over nervously: "What is the injury? Where is the injury? Show grandma."

"It's okay, I just scratched the skin accidentally." Seeing the old lady's worried face, Xu Jia comforted her.

Jiang Yan also followed Mother Jiang to his side, worried: "Where did you get hurt? What's going on?"

"No……"

"The left arm and shoulder are all injured. A large piece of flesh was scraped off, and a large piece of shoulder was also bruised." Wei Lingyang interrupted him, and briefly explained what happened to the two of them in the mall. It explained that they were going to buy Jiang Yan a birthday present.

Xu Jia knew that he was trying to make Jiang Yan care about him through his injury. He was grateful but couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous that his relationship with his mother had reached the point where he needed other people to help him.

Mother Jiang turned pale with fright when she heard that he fell from the escalator. She grabbed his hand and looked back and forth. When she saw the gauze wrapped around his arm, her eyes were red: "Why did you fall so badly?"

"It's not serious, it's just that it's bandaged so I can't show it to you," Xu Jia said.

Jiang Yan patted the old lady on the shoulder, and then asked Xu Jia: "What did the doctor say? Which hospital did you treat it in? Is it reliable?".

"In the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, the film was also taken. It's really not a serious injury." Xu Jia said, "You don't have to worry."

"Everyone, come inside and sit down and talk slowly." A middle-aged man behind Jiang Yan reminded them, "Xu Jia is injured, let him come in and rest for a while."

Xu Jia looked up at him, and the other party returned a gentle and honest smile.

"Yes, yes, Jiajia, don't stand there, come in and show grandma." After hearing his reminder, Mother Jiang came to her senses and pulled Xu Jia into the house, not forgetting to call Shangwei Lingyang.

"I'll go back first, and come back to see Jiajia later." Wei Lingyang declined, took his clothes and left first.

Although Xu Jia said there was nothing serious, Jiang's mother and Jiang Yan were also very worried, including Jiang's father, who came back later, was also taken aback, sat around Xu Jia with Jiang's mother, and repeatedly asked him if his arm hurt , but Jiang Yan was squeezed to the single sofa on the other side.

Jiang Yan looked at Xu Jia who was surrounded by her parents and laughed a little. Thinking of the strangeness of asking and answering Xu Jia when she came in just now, she felt that her parents and Xu Jia looked like a family of three, while she herself Like an estranged relative who has been visiting for a long time, I can't help but feel a little lost and helpless in my heart, and my smile is a little more lonely.

The man next to her noticed her emotion, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, giving silent comfort.

Jiang Yan patted his hand, raised her head and smiled at him, indicating that she was fine.

Although Xu Jia was surrounded by his grandparents, his attention was also scattered on Jiang Yan's side. Noticing the interaction between the two of them, he suddenly thought of his father who hadn't seen him for a long time and was in the distant research institute, and his heart gradually became sour. A feeling of helplessness surrounds.

The man in front of him was Jiang Yan's date, named Yu Guoqiang, and Xu Jia called him Uncle Yu.The two have been dating for more than two years, but because Jiang Yan is busy with work and rarely comes back, Xu Jia has only met each other twice. He is a simple and honest person, and he is very tolerant of Jiang Yan. I am satisfied.

When meeting Yu Guoqiang for the first time, Xu Jia knew that Jiang Yan would remarry sooner or later. When he saw her again this time, he had a premonition in his heart that maybe that moment had come.

The Jiang family has two bedrooms and one living room. There is no extra room for Jiang Yan and Yu Guoqiang. Every time the two come back, they always live in the hotel next to the community. This time is no exception. They went there soon after dinner. hotel.

After they left, Xu Jia gave them the clothes they bought for Jiang's father and mother today, and asked the two elders to try them on to see if they fit.

While persuading Xu Jia not to spend money on buying things for them, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang cheerfully tried them on. They looked very happy and the clothes fit them well.

Hearing that Xu Jia also bought it for herself, Mother Jiang brought the bag containing Xu Jia's clothes, intending to let Xu Jia try them on for them to see. The first thing she brought out was the overalls that Wei Lingyang secretly bought. .

The overalls are made of light blue denim fabric, the material is soft, the style is simple and elegant, and it is very attractive.

Jiang's mother liked it very much when she saw it, and said that Xu Jia had a good eye, so he must look good in clothes.

Xu Jia was stunned when he saw the suspenders. Wei Lingyang was always taking the clothes. He didn't know when he got an extra pair of trousers. During his daze, he remembered Wei Lingyang's saying that he wanted to go back to the clothing store to get his wallet , In a flash of inspiration, he understood that he was going back to get his wallet, and he was clearly going to buy pants for himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Jia really didn't know what to say, it seemed that there was no need to say anything, because Wei Lingyang was not here at the moment.

……

Jiang Yan originally only planned to stay for three days when she came back this time, because Xu Jia stayed for a few more days because of Xu Jia's injury, and she was ready to leave when Xu Jia came back from school on the weekend. confirmed.

Jiang Yan talked to him and told him that she planned to marry Yu Guoqiang, and hoped that Xu Jia could consider living with them in City B.

It was not the first time that Jiang Yan asked Xu Jia to go to City B with her. As early as two years ago, when Xu Jia entered junior high school and was able to take care of herself, she had asked Xu Jia if she would like to go to her side.

If Jiang Yan had asked Xu Jia this question in the first year she came to H City, then Xu Jia would have left her without hesitation. At that time, she and Xu Zhenglin had just divorced, and no matter which one of them said that he would take him away, he would be willing , but there was no one, both of them kept him for the work they said, and finally stayed by his side to take care of him when he grew up. It was the two old men of the Jiang family, his grandparents, who worried and worked hard for him.

So Xu Jia's answer at the time was that he didn't want to, he wanted to stay with Jiang's father and Jiang's mother.

Now Jiang Yan asked this question again, and his answer was the same. He was unwilling, unwilling to leave the two elders who were over sixty years old and whose hair was already graying.

Seeing that he rejected her almost without thinking, Jiang Yan gave a wry smile.In fact, she had already guessed the answer. Over the years, she and Xu Jia mostly communicated by phone, and the process was nothing more than asking about Xu Jia's studies. Even if she had time to ask for leave to come back to visit, the two of them were almost to the point of being relatively silent.

"Are you blaming mom?" Jiang Yan asked him.

"Is it your fault?" Xu Jia repeated, chuckled, and said honestly, "If you don't blame me at all, then I'm obviously lying. No one can do that. Maybe you will Sad, but I don't want to lie to you either."

When he was ten years old, his parents divorced, and he was suddenly left at the house of his grandparents. Facing the unfamiliar environment, he was afraid and hesitant, thinking that one day his parents would suddenly reconcile and bring him back, but it didn't happen.

He used to hope that his parents would no longer exist on the phone, but by his side. He didn't need to see the children in the compound acting coquettishly and shamelessly envious of their parents. Instead of saying "well done", they will hug him by his side, and when they miss them, they don't have to worry about their grandparents hiding in the quilt and crying.

All this has accompanied him step by step for these years, how can he be unconcerned?He couldn't convince himself psychologically either.

But he also knows that all the economic conditions he has now are given by them. This is what he needs to be grateful for instead of complaining blindly.

Hearing his words, Jiang Yan's eyes turned red instantly, she turned her head to ease her emotions, and saw the wound on Xu Jia's arm again.

In order not to affect the scarring of the wound, the gauze had already been removed. Xu Jia wiped a long scar from his arm to his elbow. There were not too firm scabs condensed on it. Against his fair skin, it looked a little shocking. .

Jiang Yan couldn't help wondering if Xu Jia had suffered other unknown injuries when she was not around, but at that time she didn't comfort him by his side like other parents did.

She used to always complain that Xu Zhenglin didn't fulfill her responsibilities as a husband and father, but she never introspected herself. How could she be a qualified wife or mother.

Suppressing the mixed emotions in her heart, Jiang Yan brought the topic back to whether Xu Jia would like to live with her in City B, and asked him if he was afraid that he would be affected if he lived there after he got married, and that he would not be able to get along with Yu Guoqiang.

"No." Xu Jia shook his head. Although he didn't get along with Yu Guoqiang much, it can be seen from his words and deeds that he loves Jiang Yan very much, and he is also very simple and honest. .”

"When you get there, you can often come back to visit your grandparents, and you can come back during the winter and summer vacations." Jiang Yan tried to persuade him, "I have already taken a fancy to the school, and with your current grades, you can enroll at any time as long as you are willing to go there. It has an impact, isn't that bad?"

Even though Xu Jia had made up her mind not to go with her, she still couldn't help being happy seeing her trying to convince herself. No matter what happened before, at least she really wanted to take her away this time, so that Very good.

"I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me." Xu Jia paused, seeing her disappointed face, comforted her, "I'll visit you in the future, don't worry."

"Jiajia..." Jiang Yan knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she sighed weakly, reached out and took him into her arms as she did when she left when she was a child, and said in a low voice, "Mom didn't take good care of you. You should blame me for not taking care of you." Yes, but you have to remember that you are my only child, and I love you no matter what."

only child?

Xu Jia smiled silently, reached out to hug her back, and patted her on the back.

After Jiang Yan and Yu Guoqiang left, Xu Jia sat in the room, facing the open exercise book for half an hour, and did not do any of the questions on it.

No matter how rational and mature he behaved in front of Jiang Yan, in fact he was still not completely relieved.

If he really went with Jiang Yan, he knew it wouldn't be a good thing. In Jiang Yan's new family, adding him is not as simple as adding a pair of chopsticks.

After sitting for a while, he got up and went to the balcony. Seeing that Wei Lingyang's room was still coming out of the light, he hesitated for a moment, took out a stone from the box on the balcony, and threw it on Wei Lingyang's balcony.

The stone fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and soon Wei Lingyang walked out of the room.
