Shiraishi

After school, Qin Du returned home, and saw that the courtyard door was wide open, but the courtyard was empty, which was a bit strange.

I came back at 03:30 today, so early, the old lady of the Qin family should be watering the flowers in the yard.Qin Du looked at the dried flower pots and was a little puzzled. He called grandma, but no one answered.

Feeling flustered for no reason, she quickly rushed into the back room, and was relieved to see that old lady Qin was still sitting on the rattan chair.As soon as I lost my schoolbag, I held the cup and drank water.

"Grandma, why are you here? The yard door is open. I called you and ignored me. You scared me."

Only then did the old lady Qin notice her, and her cloudy eyes gradually regained their spirit, but this spirit made Qin Du feel a little scared.

"What's the matter...Grandma, what happened?"

The old lady Qin lowered her eyes, stared at her palm, and spoke quietly.

"Go and see in your parents' room."

"Oh..." Qin Du was apprehensive, put down the water glass and slowly moved over, his mind was chaotic.Even if it was a mess or there were robbers hiding, Qin Du would have thought of it, but he didn't expect that the room would be empty.The wedding photos were gone, the sheets and pillowcases were gone, there was nothing on the desk, and there was not even a single piece of clothing left when I opened the closet.Qin Du was dumbfounded, and immediately ran back to the old lady Qin, "What's the matter, why is my parents' room empty? Where are they?"

The old lady Qin pursed her shriveled lips, and grabbed Qin Du's hand vigorously, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Zhao Zhao, you are a good boy. With you and your father, grandma will have nothing to complain about in this life."

Qin Du didn't hear her say this, he was almost crying, his heart beat so fast that it almost rushed out of his chest.

"Grandma, what's going on, don't scare me!"

The old lady Qin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, looked straight into Qin Du's eyes again, and hardened her heart: "Qin Zhaozhao, there is no coward in our Qin family. Your grandfather died on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Have you talked about it?"

Qin Du panicked, completely panicked.Sitting on the ground, the blood all over his body was cold.

"Grandma! You don't want to tell me that my dad is dead too!" Qin Du yelled these words almost hysterically, and tears flowed out after spinning for a long time, "Grandpa is a soldier, but my dad is not! "

No?

Not a soldier?

Halfway through his yelling, Qin Du suddenly remembered the military uniform of the special forces, and was startled for a moment, wiping away his tears, and was about to rush out, but the old lady Qin didn't want to hold back, so she slapped the table and shouted: "Stop! "

Ever since Qin Du could remember, the old lady Qin had never spoken to her loudly, let alone yelled at her.Qin Du froze in place, shivering all over his body.

After all, she is getting old, and after such a seizure, the old lady Qin's voice trembled: "Where are you going?"

"Go to the photo studio at the entrance of the alley." Qin Du clenched his fists, "I'm going to ask some questions."

I'm going to ask Master Qi if he lent Qin Ge the military uniform.I'm going to ask Master Qi why that military uniform fits so well!

The old lady Qin stood up and dragged Qin Du back into the house.His mood was so unstable, if he really ran out, something might happen.Looking at her crying face, he sighed again, and took a towel to wipe her.

"You child... You heard from grandma that your father is not dead. How could it be so easy to die when the sky is bright and bright?!"

Qin Du looked up, his emotions had collapsed, and he couldn't take it back for a while.Although he usually quarrels with Qin Ge, no one can compare how important this father is to Qin Du.Qin Ge is the one who built a beautiful world for her, her utopia.As soon as she knew that Qin Ge was gone, Qin Du couldn't think at all. Now she only has emotions and no logic.

"Then tell me where he went. And, where is my mother, did she go with him?"

The old lady Qin avoided the first question.Throwing the towel to his hand, he sat down feebly.

"The two of them are divorced, and they went through the formalities last week. Your mother has returned to her home in Qinghai."

After several blows, I heard the news again.Qin Du no longer knew how to react.She just felt that all the strength in her body was taken away, she didn't want to speak, she didn't want to move, she didn't even want to breathe.

"It turns out that I just went to school, and you can do so many things."

After a long silence, Qin Du suddenly said coldly: "It's really interesting. You guys are so interesting."

"Teacher Duan also knows, right? That's why he joked so abnormally in class today to make me happy. You know it too, you all know it, so just keep it from me."

"It's really a good show." Qin Du concluded.

Snapped--!The old lady Qin slapped Qin Du so hard that half of her cheeks swelled instantly, and she stubbornly made provocative words.

"What, did I say something wrong?"

It's not that Qin Du can't accept her parents' divorce, she just hates being deceived.Even if it's really a broken relationship, even if you don't discuss it with Qin Du, as long as you inform her, she may not be unacceptable.Yes, what Qin Du wants is just a notification, isn't that all right?What's more, it's not just a divorce now, the two of them just left quietly while she was not at home, keeping Qin Du in the dark from the beginning to the end, and didn't tell her until this moment that your parents are divorced.Your mother has returned to her natal family, but your father has disappeared.Is this really not too much?

The old lady Qin burst into tears in an instant. She just said that there is no coward in the Qin family, and she herself is a very upright master. Facing the hidden truth behind this incident, as soon as Qin Ge opened his mouth, she agreed. Even if she knew that they would break up their small family because of this matter.But looking at Qin Du's desperate face at this moment, the old lady Qin felt that her heartache was unbearable.

Back then, she could bear losing her husband, and now she might also be able to bear losing her son, but Qin Du's 15th birthday has not yet passed, how can she bear the sudden loss of her parents?As for all of this, the old lady Qin couldn't even give her an explanation, so how could she ask Qin Du to understand them and tolerate them?

The old lady Qin could only hug Qin Du's stiff body, tears streaming down her neck.

"Grandma just said that. It's not that your father will die, but I hope you can be stronger. You're not wrong, darling, you're right. It's grandma who committed the crime, and I did it..."

Qin Du's lips were already bitten by himself, and the old lady Qin's tears were so cold that they reached Qin Du's heart.The cold feeling that spread from the neck to the whole body, the painful struggle of the skin, tortured Qin Du when he dreamed back at midnight, and tortured him for many, many years.

"I don't ask you why he left, I don't ask you why he lied to me, I don't ask you if he will come back, when will he come back, although I want to know all these things, I think I'm going to die, but I don't ask .I just want to ask, where did he go. Grandma, I beg you, please tell me, my father, Qin Ge...where did he go? "

The old lady Qin closed her eyes, cruelly refusing to look at Qin Du's crying and pleading face, but hugging her tightly, repeating the sentence: "Zhao Zhao, I'm sorry... Grandma is sorry for you..."

Qin Du finally gave up, she finally found that this kind of questioning was a kind of torture for grandma and herself.Turning her head mechanically, she looked at Mrs. Qin strangely, and made one final confirmation: "You still don't want to tell me."

"I just don't want to lie to you." Mrs. Qin wiped away her tears and remained silent.Before Qin Ge left, he gave her a final kowtow.Because of this ringing head, no matter how much Qin Du asked, the old lady Qin could only take this answer into the coffin.

"Why! What kind of secret is it that allows you to treat me like this!" Qin Du broke out. She has been well protected since she was a child. She has a cheerful and pure personality on the outside, but she has never been hit in the heart fragile.At this time, she was like a wounded beast, only obeying the manic instinct in her heart.

"Why, why did my parents disappear suddenly, and suddenly they don't want me anymore? It's fine if I don't even see each other for the last time, and it's fine if I don't explain it! Why can't you answer me even such a simple question!"

Qin Du angrily pushed old lady Qin away, ran back to his room, and locked the door with a bang.

The old lady Qin slammed heavily on the armrest of the chair, gasping for breath, in order to relieve the pain and hold back her tears.In these 70 years of living, there has never been a day when I missed my husband so much.As soon as Qin Ge left, she was left alone to face Qin Du's anger and sadness.Qin Du is uncomfortable, isn't she uncomfortable?Qin Du lost her father, didn't she also lose her son?How many years can she live?But her son may not even be able to attend her funeral. Who can understand the pain in her heart?

Qin Ge tried his best to arrange everything for them in the short seven days before leaving, including their future life.But he still underestimated his daughter's dependence on him and overestimated his mother's strength.
