No matter how helpless the day is, it will soon come to this day.When Shen Zhifei got up in the morning, he habitually picked up his mobile phone to say good morning to Zhang Yao, and then took out a colorful dress for the first time.

——A dark blue slim long dress, the skirt splits from the thigh, the long legs are looming, and the other shoulder is designed with a tie, which does not look exaggerated when tied into a bow, which makes her look cute and even more beautiful Added a touch of sex appeal.

Shen Zhifei glanced at the white shirt that was thrown at the end of the bed, then closed his eyes and put the skirt in his hand into the closet.

This dress is pretty, but in her mother's impression, she is still a child who is not very good at dressing up, right?Such a big change will scare her old man again.

To be on the safe side, Shen Zhifei changed into the simplest white shirt and black leggings.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, he straightened his neckline, as if he was about to attend a meeting of the century.After dawdling for another 10 minutes, Shen Zhifei went out.

When I was in high school, although the school required me to wear school uniforms, after all, they were all fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls. When I first started to love beauty, I always had to spend a little time on dressing up on weekends. people.

Shen Zhifei was an exception, of course it was only because she was lazy.

Perhaps because of his good looks, Shen Zhifei seldom paid attention to this face when he was in high school.And because she is too lazy to take care of her hair, the good little girl insists on cutting her long hair into a boy's head. When she meets someone on the road, she will hesitate whether to call her little brother or little sister.

Xu Shulan often wants to buy some brightly colored clothes for her. She thinks that children at this age should be lively and energetic, but every time she goes shopping, the clothes she chooses are always put back into the shopping guide's hands by Shen Zhifei. Then she replaced it with black, white and gray sweater and sweatpants. There was very little white, and most of the time it was black.

Today, she originally wanted to dress up to show her long-lost mother that she had lived a good life all these years, and then eagerly looked forward to her return.

It's just that in the end, some hidden problems suppressed the interest.

Even though there were still many things that she didn't know how to talk to her mother, when this day really came, her mood still jumped up unavoidably.

It seems to have returned to the feeling when I was a child, when I got the double-percentage test paper and a not-so-delicate certificate for the first time, I was eager to take it home to show off to my mother.

Driving out of the city center, Shen Zhifei's speed increased a lot, and his heart beat faster than usual for no reason, probably to tell his urgency.

The number of cars in the suburbs gradually decreased. Shen Zhifei looked at the building that had been to the door countless times but didn't have the courage to go in. He took a deep breath, turned on the turn signal, and turned slowly into the parking space.

A lot of people came out of the same batch, some old and some young, Shen Zhifei was a little surprised, the youngest of them looked like he was only in his early twenties.

These people may or may not have relatives to meet them, but they all have a kind of shallow joy on their faces, probably because the strangeness of regaining freedom has not completely disappeared, and even this kind of happiness feels unreal.

Shen Zhifei took a deep breath, stared at the door wrongly, one figure after another came into her line of sight, and then walked out.

A familiar figure finally appeared, and Shen Zhifei involuntarily pinched the phone in his hand, his nose felt a little sore.

She lost a little weight, but not as much as Shen Zhifei imagined.

For ordinary people with no experience, their knowledge about prisons probably comes from movies, TV dramas and novels, and they always feel that everything in them is the worst.

It seems that if you go in and come back, you have to lose weight to be reasonable.

Shen Zhifei's vision quickly became blurred, she blinked away the wetness, her tightly pursed lips trembled slightly, and took a small step forward restrainedly, "...Mom?"

Xu Shulan who heard the voice paused, looked at the mature woman in front of him hesitantly, raised her hand in disbelief, and stopped beside her cheek.

Shen Zhifei put on light makeup today.

When she left, Shen Zhifei hadn't arrived yet.

The immature girl in memory seemed to have changed suddenly. Xu Shulan was surprised for a moment, and then felt relieved and proud from the bottom of her heart.

Their daughter has indeed grown up well, and has grown into such an outstanding appearance.

Xu Shulan was relieved and melancholy, and tears welled up in her eyes, "Thank you for your hard work, baby."

She also wanted to ask why Shen Zhifei didn't come to see her once in these years, but seeing her daughter's eyes full of water, the distress and soft heart of being a parent made her take back this inappropriate question.

"mom......"

The long-lost "baby" instantly tore Shen Zhifei's tense nerves. She took the initiative to move her cheek closer to her mother's palm like a small animal, shaking off a few tears and years of grievances.

"I..." As soon as Shen Zhifei opened his mouth, he realized that he was so choked up that he couldn't utter a word, so he lowered his eyes in embarrassment, "Let's go home."

Xu Shulan didn't have much luggage, and only carried a small suitcase. Shen Zhifei reached out to take it and put it in the trunk. Xu Shulan, who stayed where she was, seemed a little at a loss.

Shen Zhifei opened the co-pilot's door, her eyes were still red when she turned around, she smiled: "Mom, get in the car, let's go home."

Xu Shulan said "Hey", bent over and got into the car.

This car is not the same as the previous one at home, Xu Shulan looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked: "Where is the previous car at our house?"

Shen Zhifei's left hand holding the steering wheel shook without a trace, and she said without changing her face: "Oh, that car is older, so I changed it."

In fact, that car was sold, that car was sold in the middle and late stages of Shen Huaiyi's treatment.

Money is needed to see a doctor, money is needed to buy medicine, and money is needed for basic necessities of life for a family of three.

Shen Zhifei is an underage child, how can he find a way to raise a high surgical fee in a short time?

She tried to persuade Shen Huaiyi and agreed to sell the car.

That car was bought by Xu Shulan, with Shen Huaiyi's name on it. He always regarded it as a gift from his wife and cherished it very much.

In the end it had to be sold.

Shen Zhifei spoke calmly, without any flaws.

Xu Shulan nodded, without thinking about it, staring blankly at the tall buildings passing by outside the window.

In nine years, a town has changed too much.

The previously backward and dilapidated settlements have been rectified.There are probably new buildings on both sides of this neighborhood. It seems that there are not many people living there, and the curtains are sparsely hung.

It's been a long time since I saw her, and the city where she was born has also become strange.

Xu Shulan's mood dropped visibly to the naked eye.

While waiting for the traffic light, Shen Zhifei caught a glimpse of her mother raising her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes from the corner of her eye, and she involuntarily pursed her lips.

She is the worst at comforting people, even if that person is her mother.

Shen Zhifei cleared his throat: "Mom, Ah Ming will take the college entrance examination in a few days. I have seen his results in the last few tests, and they are all quite stable. He should be able to perform well."

The topic of her son could obviously divert Xu Shulan's attention. She turned around and said, "How tall is Ah Ming now? Is there 1.8 meters?"

Nine years ago, Shen Zhiming was only in his early 1.6 meters, barely enough to fit his sister's ears.

"[-]." Shen Zhifei smiled, "Taller than Dad..."

When the word "father" was mentioned, the smile on the corner of Shen Zhifei's mouth froze for a moment, and she quickly covered it up.

It's just that this time I probably can't escape.

"Why didn't your father come? Can't you socialize again?" When Xu Shulan mentioned her husband, there was a little complaint on her face.

Shen Huai is also six or seven years older than her. He loves her and loves her. It can be said that he really treats her like a little princess.He is busy with work, but he feels sorry for his wife's hard work in cooking, and helps with housework when he has spare energy.

He will indulge all her little willfulness within his ability, and he regards marrying Xu Shulan as an extremely lucky thing in his life.

So how could he not come on such an important day as being released from prison?

How could he not come?

Xu Shulan suddenly felt uneasy, "Is he going to socialize?"

"He...should be fine." Shen Zhifei pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "I'll tell you when I get home."

She wasn't lying either.Shen Zhifei thought, for a person as good as his father, who is so gentle and soft, even if he dies, he must go to a very happy place.

The uneasiness was getting stronger and stronger, Xu Shulan fell silent, and she suddenly didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The vermilion door opened, and Xu Shulan stared at it without blinking for a long time.

Just when Shen Zhifei wanted to remind her to go in, Xu Shulan suddenly walked quickly, almost jogging into the courtyard.

The walnut trees in the yard are very lush, and the canopy covers a large area of ​​sunlight and casts a shadow on the ground.

Everything at home is familiar, as if she has never left.

It's just that the men's leather shoes he often wears are not in the shoe cabinet, and there is no wedding photo on the wall in the master bedroom.

"Why did you take it off?" Xu Shulan looked at the empty wall and the nail marks left on it, "Why did your father take it off?"

"No... Dad didn't pick it off..." Shen Zhifei didn't even have time to change out his shoes, he stumbled and said, "I picked it off."

"Why did you pick it?" Xu Shulan's tone subconsciously increased, and she stared at Shen Zhifei wrongly.

She suddenly realized that the daughter in front of her was no longer that naive child, she was almost 28 years old.

Shen Zhifei read the pity in her mother's eyes, her heart was sour, but her mouth curled up, and she replied, "I'm afraid I'll be sad when I see it."

"Mom, I can't hide something from you..." Shen Zhifei knew that she couldn't hide it, and she was not good at acting and lying at all.

"Don't talk about it, let's eat first... Mom will make it for you, what do you want to eat?" As if evading, Xu Shulan turned her eyes away, not to ask why she felt sad after seeing their wedding photos.

"Mom, dad... he's gone..."

Shen Zhifei's voice choked up.

Even though she knew it was cruel, she also understood that some things had to be said sooner or later, and the longer they were kept secret, the more difficult it would be.
