Chapter 15 Purple Magnolia

When Shi Hui returned to the apartment, Yi Han had already left.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw that the entire room was empty, and then there was a huge picture drawn by Yi Han on the wall behind the double bed.

It was a grand flower tree, purple magnolia.

The main trunk of the tree is neither thick nor thin; several main branches extend in the same direction in a slightly curved posture, as if they are not very sure, and seem to be slowly accumulating; the flowers on that branch are few in number and clearly It can be counted, but they are just full of buds, waiting for the spring breeze, about to bloom; when there are flowers, there are no leaves.

When she was looking at Yi Han and just confirmed its general appearance, she told her that there are flowers but no leaves, which is a bit monotonous.

At that time, Yi Han had an expression of a wonderful secret in his arms, and replied that she would add two auspicious birds to it in the end.

She knew that Yi Han's main work was computer graphics, and she looked at the immature wall painting not far away, and felt that it was so real.

She thought she was away temporarily.

When she was about to return, Shi Hui started calling Yi Han, but no one answered;She looked at the clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, high heels, books, and picture albums she gave Yi Han, but she didn't take any of them away.It's just that some of her own things are missing.Yi Han also left the key of the apartment, Shi Hui found that it was not insured when she opened the door, she thought that Yi Han was probably sure that she would come back soon.

She was starting to feel a little unsure if her departure was temporary.

When she talked to Yi Han last time, she actually thought about telling her that she and Shusen were going to divorce.But she hesitated and didn't say it.She thinks that her divorce is only for herself first; if Shusen agrees to continue to have no children, then their marriage will continue, and it will not have much impact whether there is Yi Han or not; Tell Yi Han that it is falsehood; she can pretend to be herself in order to survive, but she really does not believe that falsehood can be exchanged for emotions.

What she least believed was that a twisted melon would be sweet.

If Yi Han didn't willingly stay by her side after accepting the truth about her, she didn't either.

Those who try to twist melons will only taste the bitter fruit themselves first.She had seen firsthand the price a man paid with his life for it.

That man was her own father.

At that time, he was a good-looking young man in that village. He once visited his aunt's house. His aunt was also from the countryside and lived at the foot of the mountain.He was full of energy, and couldn't sit still in front of a few elders who could only talk about family affairs, so he left them, walked out of the small gate of the courtyard, and explored the depths of the mountains that he had never been before.

He met her who had nothing at the time and was wandering freely in the mountains.

He saw that her lips were red and her teeth were white, her skin was as snowy as snow, her figure was slim, and her hair was like water; she was wearing a pure white long-sleeved shirt with embroidered necklines, and a dark blue skirt with knee-length pleated skirts underneath. The uppers of the white sneakers were slightly stained with mud.

He bent down to pick a wild orchid, walked up to her, and handed it to her with both hands.

When they got married, he gave her a square, white and clean house inside and out.

He bought it a whole set of furniture that was popular in the town at that time; he installed a chandelier on the ceiling; he also equipped it with a landline telephone and a Panda brand color TV; he led her in.

Shi Hui was born.

In her memory, her father was wearing a blue denim jacket and jeans, squatting in a large grove and pulling weeds by himself; he said to her when she was a child, I planted this grove before you were born, and waited for you to grow up , They should grow up too, when you go to university, I will buy them all and pay your tuition.

She still remembers that when she was a child, she was afraid of injections and doctors. Even just hearing the doctor's name after she knew she was sick was enough to cry; After the beating was over, it always took a long time, and the buttocks and thighs hurt; so he hugged her into his arms, not only nodded in agreement, but also followed her to tell the doctor how horrible he was, until he laughed at her, and he was willing to let her go. Accompanied by him, he went to trouble the doctor again.

She remembered that he was such a good-looking and gentle man.

She also remembered what she looked like when he was by his side.

She will buy her a candied haws, and then leave her alone in the house for most of the day; she will also patiently braid her hair into many small braids and wear small dresses for her; give her a book of fairy tales when she comes back The book, a miniature plastic microphone, opened the mouthpiece of the microphone, and there were countless orange-flavored chewing gum hidden inside.

He can cook and so can she.They quarreled, argued, and fought repeatedly in the kitchen.

He is also weak, he said to her, you can't ignore the children.

She said, let me go, the child can follow me.

He said, where are you going, those men, which one is today, and which one will be tomorrow.

She couldn't take the child with her, so she left by herself.

He was angry there alone, and he got sick later.He has liver cancer.

And she, elsewhere, was implicated in drug use and went to jail.

When they were arguing, Shi Hui opened her big eyes, looking left and right, not knowing who to help.And when they quarreled, it was very ugly. She watched it too much, so she didn't care.She still plays her own.She thought they would be all right after their quarrel was over.

After her father passed away, she seemed to wake up a little bit like a dream, and vaguely felt that the place where she had been living was actually always precarious.

She was handed over to her grandmother, who was accompanied by an aunt who was close to marriageable age.They don't speak ill of her mother in front of her, but they turn their resentment towards her into dislike of her daughter.

Shi Hui still couldn't find Yi Han, she went to check Yi Han's chat space, and found that it had been locked by her.

Her divorce is not going well at the moment, and there is a problem with the division of property. Shusen suddenly asks her for a large amount of alimony like a lion.He makes her laugh.She guessed that he probably had a problem playing at the chess and card club, so he made such an unseemly request to her that was contrary to his usual image.

He stretched his hand straight towards her company.

She was actually laughing at herself.

The company was registered only after her mother contributed part of the funds.It was something she helped her build.It is also one of the few places where she can be remembered as a mother.

She was thinking about whether to break up with Shusen and file a lawsuit.First for breath.

She also received a call from her hometown, saying that her grandma had a cerebral thrombosis, hemiplegia, was getting old, and her health was getting worse, and she couldn't pass this year's Spring Festival, so she was asked to go back and meet.

She decided to go back to her hometown first.
