my old lover

Although Zhongxuan's mother often came to clean up, the house was still a bit gray. Zhongxuan tidied up a little bit. After tidying up, Qu Jiao had a headache from crying and fell asleep on the sofa.

Zhongxuan woke Zhongxuan up, and the two hurriedly washed and fell asleep, without talking all night.

The next day was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and Zhongxuan's parents were going out to pay New Year's greetings. Zhongxuan said that she would accompany Qu Jiao back to her house, so she didn't accompany her.

Still walked downstairs to Qu Jiao's house, Qu Jiao still walked for a long time, Zhongxuan didn't persuade her, just quietly accompanied Qu Jiao.

Finally, Qu Jiao turned his head and held Zhong Xuan, "Honey, do you think you and I should forgive my dad?"

"Will you be comfortable after you forgive your dad? Only when you forgive him can you treat him logically, right?"

Qu Jiao looked at Zhongxuan, not quite understanding what she meant.

"I mean, if you're happy, do what makes you happy; but if you choose not to forgive, I'll support you too. Stop struggling with yourself. Instead of forgiving your dad reluctantly, it's better to be nice to him a little."

"Actually, it's okay. After all, your father's current situation is not very good. If you have that tangled time, it's better to treat him better. We don't have much time to stay at home. We will go back in a few days."

Yeah, why do you have to force yourself to accept it?Qu Jiao nodded, let's live with the situation...

When he entered, Qu Jiao's father was eating.

Qu Jiao's stepmother said that Qu Jiao's father now eats about five or six times a day, and each time he eats porridge and some liquid food.

When I came back yesterday, Qu Jiao was preoccupied with himself.I took a closer look today and found that my father has lost a lot of weight. His skin has drooped because of being too thin, the wrinkles around his eyes have become more obvious, and his walking is not as fast as before.

Probably because of his illness, he treated Qu Jiao much more gently, not as harshly as before.

Zhongxuan chatted with Aunt Li, the nanny, for a while, and found out that Qu Jiao's father often talked about Qu Jiao at home.

It is said that Qu Jiao is obedient, sensible, assertive, and knows how to take care of people and love others, but sometimes he is too stubborn and doesn't know how to turn. Although he is a person with no temper, once he commits a crime, even ten cows can't pull him back.

Zhongxuan smiled, that's right, Qu Jiao was the one who walked all the way to the dark, otherwise he wouldn't have met her.

Qu Jiao was feeding his father in the dining room. Qu Jiao's father was still a little impatient, he couldn't hold it by himself, and it was easy to turn it over. Qu Jiao fed him porridge spoon by spoon, and Qu Jiao's father drank it spoon by spoon.

Finally, after feeding Lao Qu, Qu Jiao did not leave, but sat opposite to his father.

"When do you plan to go back to work this time..." Qu Jiao's father leaned on the back of the chair.

"Let's leave after the fifth day... go to work on the eighth day, and leave in the afternoon on the sixth day." Now Lao Qu struggles to eat.

After his mother passed away, Qu Jiao still resented his father, but after thinking about it, he now only has such a relative left.When parents are alive, there is still a place to come from in life; when parents are gone, there is only a way back in life. [Note] There are not many days left for Lao Qu, and not many days left for Qu Jiao.

Qu Jiao reflected on herself, why couldn't she let go of the past?

But she felt uncomfortable and just couldn't let go.

"Jiaojiao..." The first time her father called her that, Qu Jiao couldn't tell how she felt, but instead looked down at her father instead of looking down.

"Dad...Dad...Dad apologizes to you."

Qu Jiao's heart was instantly disturbed.

Looking fixedly at his old father, dragging his sick body to apologize to himself?Qu Jiao's tears rolled down uncontrollably, and he didn't know how to react.

Lao Qu looked at his daughter who was almost three years old, and suddenly remembered that Qu Jiao was held in his arms when he was a child, and she was at a loss for what to do when he cried and made a lot of noise.

Later, when Qu Jiao grew up, he was obedient and sensible and never made him worry. He reflected on whether he had cared too little for Qu Jiao in the past, and how could he compensate Qu Jiao...

Qu Jiao covered her mouth, Zhong Xuan hurriedly walked towards her, but was quietly pulled back by the stepmother who was holding the child.

Zhongxuan looked at her, but she just shook her head slightly, signaling Zhongxuan not to go there first.

After being with Lao Qu, she often talked about Qu Jiao with Lao Qu. Qu Jiao was very worry-free and independent enough that she didn't need her extra care at all. Have a good chat.

Only then did I realize that the knot between the father and daughter was not just that they cared too little.

Today, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity and finish what you have to say. If you don't say something, you will never be able to say it for the rest of your life.

Qu Jiao's father said again, "Later, your stepmother always told me that there was a problem with my education, not that you didn't like to get close to me. I thought, you brought up the school by yourself, and you don't usually like to go home, why? Is it because I don't care enough?"

"Your stepmother is right, let me think about the past. I kept thinking and thinking, and finally realized that something was wrong... Jiaojiao... Do you blame Dad for only wanting a son?"

Qu Jiao pulled the distance between himself and Lao Qu, covered his mouth and kept silent, but tears flowed into a small river, which completely softened Lao Qu's heart.

"Is it because Dad kept saying that he wanted a son, so he ignored your feelings? Or is it because Dad quickly found your last stepmother? Now that Qingqing is finally born, you blame Dad, so you don't want to come back, right?"

Qu Jiao wanted to yell at him.

yes!yes!yes!Why can't you see my efforts?Why do you have to be entangled in this son?Why can't you care more about me and my mother?Why are you still thinking about having a son at this age?What's wrong with me?Can't compare to a son who doesn't exist at all?

But she looked at her father with a sick face, but she couldn't question him at all.

Zhongxuan saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, but she still couldn't help walking over and stood behind Qu Jiao, wondering if she could comfort her.

"Father feels sorry for you. Now that I think about it, the most important property in my life is only you...I used to always wonder why I had to have a son...I'm afraid you won't believe me when I tell you. In fact, at the beginning...Dad I just wanted to find you a companion..."

Qu Jiao shook her head, she didn't believe it!What the hell reason is this?

"When you were very young, my father wanted to have another one. Looking at you, I suddenly felt that all my previous struggles were worthwhile."

"But you are only one person. When you grow up, if you encounter something and have no one to share it with you, I want to have another one with you-mother."

"But Dad's unit doesn't allow more births... Dad just thinks... It would be nice to have a son..."

"Thinking about it, Dad just forgot why he wanted a son in the first place..."

People always say not to forget the original intention, but how can it be so simple?Humans are fickle and forgetful.

Qu Jiao did not speak from the beginning to the end, and buried his head very low.The whole world seemed to be collapsing, and her psychological defenses were torn apart.

Such a weird reason...

Her anyone's words can be used as a selective filter of nonsense, but now in front of her is her own biological father.

"Jiaojiao, Dad has...loess buried up to his neck...just treat it as a lie to Dad...forgive Dad, okay?"

Qu Jiao's hand held Zhong Xuan's tightly, his palm was completely cold, Zhong Xuan patted Qu Jiao's hand lightly.

"Dad..." Qu Jiao opened his mouth for a half-pay, and called Dad.

Qu Jiao's father nodded, "Dad was wrong."

Qu Jiao shook his head slowly, looked at his father, and called out "Dad" again.

……

The stepmother kept Qu Jiao and Zhongxuan for dinner, and the whole family had dinner. Qu Jiao and Zhongxuan chatted with the stepmother about the situation of Lao Qu. No matter how bad it is, she still has a son, who is in City C, and she can come and take care of her, so Qu Jiao can rest assured.

Zhongxuan saw what Qu Jiao meant, and thought that after all this trouble, Qu Jiao's father's little money should be almost enough.So I discussed it with Qu Jiao, or I would leave all the money you saved for traveling to your father for medical treatment?

Qu Jiao looked at Zhongxuan.It's okay, after all, they all work in City B, and the two of them can repay the house loan in City B together in the future, and Zhongxuan's savings are also here with Qu Jiao.

So the two of them thought together, since they couldn't take care of them in City C, they simply left the money when they left, which was considered a dedication.

Unexpectedly, after the two went home to rest, in the middle of the night, Zhong Xuan was falling asleep, and suddenly felt that Qu Jiao had disappeared, and reached out to touch, and Qu Jiao was indeed gone.

Zhongxuan woke up suddenly, looked for Qu Jiao all over the room, and found that Qu Jiao was not there, so she called Qu Jiao.

"Hey, what's the matter? Did something happen?" Zhongxuan didn't know what happened, but she could tell her that something happened to Qu Jiao's father, otherwise Qu Jiao couldn't have disappeared without sleeping in the middle of the night.

Qu Jiao answered the phone, first asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you wake up..." Then, as if he couldn't hold back, there was a cry, "My dad...my dad...he is in RICU...Zhongxuan... I am afraid……"

Afraid not to take me!Zhongxuan really has nothing to do with her.

After asking Qu Jiao which hospital was on which floor of that building, Zhongxuan hurriedly cleaned up, went out and took a taxi to the hospital.

Even at this time, the hospital is still not quiet, there are patients everywhere.Zhongxuan went up by the elevator from the first floor of the inpatient department, but got on the wrong single-floor elevator in the middle, so she had to get off the elevator and go up to the first floor.

Passing by the wards, the corridors are full of patients, because it is a tertiary hospital in C city, and all the diseases that cannot be cured in small hospitals are sent here. Zhongxuan felt cold and uncomfortable when he walked past.

The hospital is a place that inevitably hurts the spring and the autumn. Zhongxuan suddenly felt a little scared when he thought about himself or Qu Jiao, when he was old or sick.

When I saw the RICU sign from a distance, I heard the secret cry, which was very moving.But the doctors who came and went were already accustomed to being indifferent.

Zhongxuan pushed open the door, and it was indeed Qu Jiao's stepmother who was crying.

Qu Jiao was sitting on the stool near the door, his eyes were loose, and his cheeks were faintly stained with tears.

Zhongxuan felt extremely uncomfortable, and went up to hug Qu Jiao, Qu Jiao saw her coming, but was still in a daze.It was not until Zhongxuan hugged her for a long time that Qu Jiao seemed to have just realized it, and finally wet Zhongxuan's collar with tears.

"My wife... my dad is gone... gone..."
