Hechun and Jingming

Qu Jingming secretly pondered the conversation between Xue Bingbing and He Rong, and calculated how long he could have this mother. He made up his mind not to cry, and for this reason he kept his mouth tightly shut.There was no way, there seemed to be a lump of air in his chest cavity, it was huge and heavy, it seemed that as long as he opened his mouth, it would rush out and explode, it was really a dangerous existence.

Fortunately, He Rong and Mrs. Chen are not the kind of adults and old people who love to tease children. At the dinner table, they don’t ask how old he is, what he likes to eat, and don’t bother to pretend that he likes children. He always eats in silence The plate of stewed fish in black bean sauce in front of me.

That night, He Rong packed a room upstairs for him.Inside is a bed, a wardrobe, a desk with lamps, paper and pens, and some books, and the four walls have traces of pasting posters.

He Rong: "You live here by yourself, okay?"

Qu Jingming held his schoolbag, met her eyes, and nodded.He Rong pointed to the schoolbag he carried: "I'll put water for you to bathe in, and you get your change of clothes first, and I'll call you later."

Qu Jingming glanced at his schoolbag, feeling a sense of shame for no reason.He carried this schoolbag all the way here, and it was stuffed with clothes.At home, only clothes and homework belonged to him. Now he came to a small town from a big city with half of his belongings on his back.He Rong pays attention to his schoolbag, just to keep an eye on his downfall.

But he pursed his lips and puffed his cheeks, lowered his head, and said softly, "Thank you."

He Rong patted him and went out without replying.

In the next two days, Xue Bingbing and Rong took him out to play together.

This small town is called Fangcheng. It is small and remote, but compared with the surrounding deeper mountains, it is already quite convenient.There are two passenger bus stations, one connects the upper-level city with other provinces and cities, the other connects the lower-level towns with more remote places, and there is a railway station in the south of the city, so this small town can still play the role of a transportation hub; and Taking advantage of being close to the seaside and being a border, smuggling is so rampant that every family with male seedlings has participated in this illegal business to some extent, and those who have a little money in the local area have all made their fortunes through smuggling.

He Rong is a girl who didn't work in this line of work. She even had some legal awareness in her mind because she went out to study in a serious university, and she didn't even bother to be friends with smugglers. Therefore, although she was born and raised in this small town, she had very few friends. After two days of going out for fun, I couldn't borrow a usable car. Mrs. Chen babbled and said the names of a few people, saying that I could ask them, but they were all blocked back by He Rong.

Mrs. Chen has a violent temper, and she was treated like a donkey with good intentions. She slammed the door and went out to find someone to play mahjong. Goods, earn some errand fees!"

The old lady and her ex-husband have been separated and divorced for ten years. The ex-husband is a big smuggler with a rich family, but he is extremely stingy.Except for paying college expenses to her own daughter He Rong in the first four years of divorce, she never sent a dime here after that.He Rong is 28 this year. Since graduating from university, he reluctantly came back to take the civil servant exam. He is currently working at the local political and legal office.For six years, the mother and daughter lived together under the same roof. Unlike the dependent life described in the TV novels, the atmosphere between them was cold and caring for each other was invisible. The daughter gave the mother money every month, and the mother washed and cooked her daughter.

In just one day, Qu Jingming got a taste of the communication style of these two people who would slam their faces and slam the door if they disagreed.

At this moment, He Rong didn't even lift his eyelids, and didn't bother to argue. Hearing that Mrs. Chen was going out, she picked up Qu Jingming's small schoolbag and touched the back of his head: "Come on, let's go out."

Instead of clothes, the schoolbag was replaced with a variety of snacks, which were richer than their kindergarten picnic, and they were all prepared by Geng Rong.When she was worrying about Qu Jingming's little things, there was always Xue Bingbing standing beside her.

But Xue Bingbing didn't talk much about Qu Jingming's affairs anymore. He let He Rong arrange everything from what clothes to put on the child when he got up in the morning to what to bring when he went out, and he just watched and didn't interfere.She usually talks loudly and has a variety of styles, which always attracts people's attention. Now she is wearing those gentle and simple clothes, her hair is tied up in a bundle, she has no makeup and no makeup, standing silently on one side, It became gentle and gentle, without the meaning of hustle and bustle.

Qu Jingming looked for several times, and saw the faint smile on her lips, meeting his gaze, she smiled more gently, and he felt strange and flustered.It's like standing in a dilapidated house, with wind leaking everywhere, and it's useless for him to cover either side.

When out and about, he was mostly dull.There are mountains and seas near Fangcheng. On the first day they went into the mountains, they stepped on the mountain streams to pick up wild fruits. The farm food of the folks in the mountains tastes good, but the children are barbaric. Children steal, steal and rob, and there is not much left.

He looked at He Rong apologetically, but He Rong thought he was sad, and comforted him: "It's okay, I'll buy it for you when I get home."

Xue Bingbing sighed beside him, but did not speak.

When he went to sea the next day, He Rong bought him a small swimming ring, let him lie in it, and pulled him to the depths of the sea with Xue Bingbing.At first he was able to step on the sandy ground, and he felt at ease, but then he couldn't pedal no matter what, he became a little anxious, twisted his body uneasily, his eyes were bewildered, and he cried out unconsciously.

Gently patted his back comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, we are here, you can't drown."

He couldn't even listen to it. Whether it was the sea or the fact that his feet didn't touch the ground, it was a strange experience. He was so nervous.I had no choice but to look at my mother Xue Bingbing for help, let go of the swimming ring with both hands, and went to climb Xue Bingbing's arms and neck.

Xue Bingbing looked at him indifferently, with a little smile in the corner of his eyes, but that smile was colder than sea water.

"She really doesn't want me anymore." Qu Jingming thought desperately again, kicking his legs hard and crying.

He Rong had no choice but to say, "Let's go up, don't be scared."

Xue Bingbing has made up her mind to entrust the child to He Rong, and everything is up to her to decide.The two dragged Qu Jingming back to the shore, sat down at a restaurant table by the sea, and ordered some seafood dishes.Qu Jingming was still twitching, lying on the table, his eyes fell on an unknown point, and he didn't listen to his words. The swimming ring was hung on the chair, and he didn't even touch it.

When the seafood porridge came, He Rong filled a bowl and coaxed him to eat it.

He didn't move, didn't take a look in his eyes, and only followed He Rong's movements to avoid it.

"Why is it so important to be scared?" He Rong was embarrassed.

Xue Bingbing smiled lightly, as if she didn't care at all, and said, "You're acting like a baby." After a moment's pause, he added, "You don't have to worry, eat first, and wait for him later. This kid's life is like weeds, Don't be so spoiled."

Her appearance is a bit gentle.Naturally, they have many similarities, otherwise they would not have become girlfriends back then, and they would not have maintained their friendship as the years passed, and now they can entrust their flesh and blood.

He Rong gathered the hair around her ears, rubbed Qu Jingming's wet hair with her palm, and said in a gentle tone with unfamiliar skills: "When you have enough crying, eat porridge, okay?"

Qu Jingming didn't seem to hear, but was still crying.

Ten minutes later, Xue Bingbing finished two bowls of seafood porridge in a leisurely manner. Her stubborn son stopped crying, but buried his head in his arms, and he didn't even let anyone see his face.She sighed helplessly, thinking, she should be pampered, but she will not be pampered in the future.

I'm sorry for a child for a lifetime. This kind of crime seems too vague because it is too big, and it can't affect her Xue Bingbing's choice, but she is afraid that she didn't give Qu Jingming a little bit of satisfaction in the last day. That's what makes life difficult.

"I'll get him something to coax him." Xue Bingbing stood up and took out a purse with a simple style and elegant style from the luggage bag. At first glance, it was not the same as the ten yuan a piece at the stall outside. .

He Rong didn't pay attention to this at all, and waved his hand: "Go."

Xue Bingbing went there for half an hour, and when she came back, she was holding a lot of things in exquisite packaging, which surprised He Rong: "Where did you buy it? There are such beautiful things here?"

Xue Bingbing: "The small shop over there is not a good thing. They are all tourist souvenirs from your place. I always have to bring some souvenirs there. Michael has a lot of friends, so I have to meet them. Foreigners have never seen these places. Special product, rare, I just packaged it more beautifully.”

Micheal is the wealthy son-in-law Xue Bingbing is about to marry, a Chinese-American who is over forty years old.In the past, she gave birth to a child for no apparent reason, and she dragged it along for six years in one breath, and her youth was wasted day by day, and finally at the age of 28, she could not bear it, or she came to her senses and decided not to waste the tail of her youth and herself For her beauty, put her son down.

I want to leave.

Among the big bags and small bags she bought back, only one pack of gourd soda was bought for Qu Jingming.She shook the child who had buried his head, and found that he was tired from crying and fell asleep.But he didn't sleep too deeply. He woke up after being pushed. His eyes were still blank, but there was a subtle difference from the one just now.

This face is dazed and somewhat ignorant, more true.

Xue Bingbing stuffed a tube of gourd soda into his hand: "Come on, drink some sweet soda, don't be afraid, okay?"

I don't know if he forgot to be shocked after taking a nap, or the soda in front of him flattered him. He wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, smacked his lips, and stuffed the "vine" of the gourd into his mouth. Satisfied with appearance.

Xue Bingbing smiled: "I don't know if it has something to do with his dad. Ever since his dad visited us when he was two years old and bought him two of these, he has always liked soda in the shape of a gourd. I If you can't help it, you often use this to coax him... But you said, he was only two years old at that time, would he really remember?"

She was amiable, and she extremely disliked talking about Qu Jingming's father.

Xue Bingbing obviously knew the likes and dislikes of his best friend, so he stopped talking at this point, slowly comforted Qu Jingming, and then handed the child back to Rong Rong.He Rongshun fed the child a bowl of porridge.

In the afternoon, the three of them took the bus back to Fangcheng from the station. Qu Jingming got a little motion sick and soon fell asleep.An hour later, the car entered a stop, he was half awake, and felt that Xue Bingbing was going over his seat to get out, so he subconsciously reached out and grabbed a corner of the fabric.

Xue Bingbing bent down and said in a soft voice: "Obviously, mom is going to the bathroom, can you wait in the car with Aunt Rong Rong?"

On the way out, Xue Bingbing also got off at this transit station and went to the bathroom. Qu Jingming listened in a daze, without any suspicion, so he let go of his hand, and soon fell asleep under the gentle pat of his gentle face. up.

He didn't know that after Xue Bingbing got out of the car, he changed to another long-distance car, which was faster than their short-distance trip.On the seat she sat on, there were only a few tubes of gourd soda left.From this year on, Qu Jingming never drank gourd soda again.
