no ambiguity

Six years ago, Qinghe was only 19 years old and was still in her sophomore year. At that time, Meng Zhi was only fifteen years old. One lost his mother and the other lost his stepmother.

Qing Zijun had a hard life in this life. When he was a child, he never lived a day of comfort. When he was young, he met scumbags. He conceived and gave birth to Qing He when he was unmarried. Later, he finally found a reliable second-married man to start a new family. The other party died in three years, leaving behind a daughter brought over by the first marriage, and after several years of hard work, Qinghe was reluctantly sent to university. A car accident happened, and he left without enjoying himself.

In the first two or three years, Qing He often thought of her, and couldn't tell whether it was because she missed her or was reluctant to part with her, but gradually she stopped thinking about her.

Real life is so stressful that you can't breathe, it's useless to stay where you are, you have to move forward.

In the past few years, Qinghe has become the head of the family, and she has done her best to Meng Zhi. She has never complained about Meng Zhi, never blamed him, and never treated him harshly. Instead, she tolerated this stepsister and raised him. Great, let the other party continue reading.She is not a kind-hearted person, and she will not repay hatred with kindness. What she did was to follow Qing Zijun's ideas, and to repay Meng Zhi's own father.

Father Meng is a typical good man, honest and kind, caring for his family, hardworking, loving his wife and family.When he was not with Qing Zijun back then, he helped the mother and daughter a lot. He extended a helping hand to them when they were the poorest, secretly helping them from various aspects, and even helped Qinghe pay for her tuition.And after getting married, he treats Qing He and Meng Zhi equally, and will not favor anyone.

In that era of material scarcity, Meng's father always supported Qinghe's pursuit of rock and roll, and let her "nonsense".

The social atmosphere at that time was not as open and tolerant as it is now. Young men and women who played rock and roll were always disliked.

Qinghe learned the guitar first, and then the bass.Her first guitar was bought by Meng's father, which cost a lot of money. Meng Zhi was still angry because of this, thinking that Meng's father was too partial.

The conditions at that time were too poor to afford a special teacher, and it was Qinghe who insisted on following those men and women "bastards" as a follower, and asked for private tutoring, and Meng's father even invited these people to eat and drink several times. When paying tuition.

Qing He never called him "Dad", just like Meng Zhi did to Qing Zijun, keeping a distance from beginning to end, calling him "Uncle", and when he was in a good mood, he was "Uncle Meng".She didn't expect Meng's father to pass away suddenly, let alone the cause of death from overwork.

Father Meng fell down while working and never got up again.Colleagues in the company said that he always worked overtime that month and was very tired every day, which is why he was like this.

Qinghe didn't understand his work, so he didn't know anything about it.

At that time, Qing Zijun cried until he was in tears. He was so sad that he didn't go to work for half a month. His hair turned gray, he lost weight, and he aged a lot soon.But the grief was only temporary, and life still had to go on, and no one could change the established situation—Meng's father's compensation was not much, and it was not enough to support his entire life in the future.

After Meng's father passed away, for a long time, Meng Zhi always blamed the mother and daughter, especially Qing He.An ordinary family with two children in the city will always suffer and the burden will be heavy.

But this is only for a while, time will heal all pain and stubbornness, Meng Zhi gradually accepted them.

That car accident was just an accident, no one could be blamed, Qinghe understood.And after Qing Zijun left, she and Meng Zhi have been relying on Qing Zijun's compensation to live and study, many things are a foregone conclusion, and she should have put it down long ago, she also knows this.

But reason is only one aspect after all, and emotions are still difficult to control.

Meng's father died from overwork, and even though the family lived in harmony afterwards, Meng Zhi still had a gap between the mother and daughter in his heart.

Similarly, Qing He couldn't completely let go of Qing Zijun's disappearance.She was good to Meng Zhi, just like Qing Zijun expected, and lived with this oil bottle, and let Meng Zhi participate in the band, trying not to care about the past, but still couldn't get over that hurdle.

She is so, Meng Zhi is so.

Last year, Meng Zhi was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and was in a critical condition. Although the doctor said that the disease might be cured, it required long-term treatment, which was time-consuming and costly, and it was difficult to afford it.She did everything she should and could do, contributed money and effort, invested all her savings in it, and took good care of it until someone from the Meng family came, and hired two nurses to take turns looking after the debt collector.

In fact, at the beginning of the year and in February and March, Qinghe still went to the hospital frequently to take care of Meng Zhi personally, and then gradually went less.

Meng Zhi knew that she was ill, so she knew everything. She didn't cooperate with the treatment very much, and when she was in a hurry, she would talk nonsense, and her tongue was quite sharp.

She always asks: "Where did you get the money, and who did you borrow it from?"

Or put it offensively: "Your group of friends is getting poorer than the other, who has money to lend you, have you done something bad?"

Qinghe doesn't want to talk to her.

She was quite stubborn, she opened her mouth and said: "I don't need your kindness, the worst is to die."

At that time, it was indeed difficult to make ends meet, the investment in early treatment was too high, and the daily expenses were very high. Qinghe was under a lot of pressure, and it was very difficult to continue the treatment.

The pain and discomfort caused by leukemia were too heavy for Meng Zhi to bear. She was only in her early twenties, Hua'er was the same age, and her peers were full of vigor in school, but she was suffering day by day, not knowing whether it was a freshman or a new student who greeted her. die.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia mostly occurs in childhood, and the cure rate is higher in childhood, and lower in adults. Many patients cannot survive even half a year once they develop the disease.Meng Zhi is also afraid occasionally, afraid that it will really end like this, she will hold Qing He and won't let go, "Sister, it's fine if it can't be cured, but don't want me, okay?"

Qinghe never said that she would not want her, nor did she ever think about leaving her behind.

Qinghe's feelings for Meng Zhi are too complicated to express clearly in a few words.

Maybe she was afraid of something and didn't want to experience it again, so she seldom came to see Meng Zhi again.She often communicates with Meng Zhi's attending doctor, and also visits the Meng family, or asks Ye Xilin to visit, but she doesn't really want to see Meng Zhi, and would rather sit outside the ward sometimes than go in. .

The attending doctor said that because the discovery was relatively timely, the current treatment effect is not bad, and everything is developing in a good direction. Meng Zhi's condition is still stable, and if there are no accidents, the next step should be relatively smooth.

Qinghe is relieved.

The taxi drove away in a short while, leaving the hospital behind.The driver was listening to the radio, and the host was speaking slowly on the radio.

Qinghe looked back.Ye Xilin was still there, his figure gradually getting smaller.

She was dazed for half a minute, then slowly turned around, took out her phone and sent a message to contact Wen Ning.

On the other side of the city, the Xie Family Courtyard.

After visiting the elders, Wen Ning pushed Xie Anran to the back garden. After returning to China, the relationship between the two finally eased after being stalemate for so long.Xie Anran is no longer like before, his whole person is much more peaceful, even with Wen Ning, he can get along with him calmly.

There is no one else in the back garden, only the two of them.

Ginkgo biloba is planted here, just like Jiang Ting, with golden leaves falling all over the ground and covered with a thin layer.

The wheelchair ran over the leaves, and a slight sound could be heard vaguely.Xie Anran looked down, then glanced back at Wen Ning, and after being pushed out for a while, asked softly, "When did you get married?"

Wen Ning was not surprised that she knew this, lowered her eyes, and replied: "March 3."

Xie Anran smiled, "I remember really clearly, are you so caring?"

Wen Ning didn't speak.

The leaves on the tree fell, twirled in the air, and fell on Xie Anran's shoulder.Wen Ning saw it, but didn't reach out to help wipe it off.Xie Anran moved her own hands, and then gathered her collar. Today's wind is too strong and it's cold.

"Ruian said that Lian He Min resigned." She said lightly.

Wen Ning didn't deny it, "Yes."

"why?"

"I don't want to do this business anymore." Wen Ning said, not feeling deeply.

Lian He Min temporarily withdrew from the fashion industry, opened a flower shop by herself, and planned to do something else.

Xie Anran said: "She is willing to do it this time."

The meaning of these words is a bit deep, and the words are not clear.

In the original group of four, only Qi Rui'an was an idiot, and he still doesn't understand anything, and the other three are all smart people.Wen Ning could hear the meaning behind it, and responded.

Xie Anran raised her hands to straighten her hair, with a look of emotion on her face, as if she was remembering something, after a long time, she suddenly asked: "Does she know that you are married?"

Wen Ning hummed: "I told her about it last time."

When we talked about things in the cafe, I made it clear at the time, and I didn't hide it anymore.

Xie Anran didn't know, but asked more.She signaled Wen Ning to turn around and go to the rockery, but Wen Ning pushed her over.

It's just that when she arrived there, she said without beginning or end: "I had a quarrel with Lian He Min, and it broke down at that time."

Wen Ning said, "I know."

Xie Anran said word by word: "The quarrel was because of you, just the day before the car accident."

The wheelchair stopped, Wen Ning didn't exert any more force, and listened quietly.

Xie Anran thought about it for a while, pulled out those memories that had almost been forgotten, did not explain why there was arguing, and only said: "So you asked me to drop by to pick her up, but I was not really willing, and deliberately took a long way around."

He didn't want to keep up with He Min, so he made a special detour to Liulin Road, staying far away.

"You called me, but I didn't answer, I was so angry at that time." She continued, her eyes were a little empty, her thoughts gradually drifted away, she paused for a while, as if she was considering her words, "Then even He Min called me ..."

The car was driving normally, and there was no speeding or violation, but her phone kept ringing. She was too irritable and distracted for a moment, and all the accidents happened at that moment.

This is the truth that was not told back then, a secret that has been hidden for a long time.

In fact, at that time, if I told the truth, the compensation would be increased at most, and I would not go to jail or something because of this, and it would not have a big impact on the verdict, but Xie Anran didn't dare, she lied, and lied that she was watching the road seriously, It's just too late to react.

Before he finished speaking, Ke Wenning basically understood everything.

Xie Anran's eyes were a little red, she didn't know whether it was regret for the car accident or the past, she turned the wheelchair and faced Wen Ning face to face, her lips trembled, and asked: "Did you marry that person because of guilt?"
