Chapter 22 Here Comes Again

There are still more than ten minutes before school ends in the afternoon, and the classroom of Class [-] is still extremely quiet, only the soft sound of the stroke of the pen and the flipping of the pages plays the main theme as always.

"Thank you, thank you!" Chen Chen lowered his voice at the back door and called Xie Jing.

His cry caused many people in the back row to frown and glance over. With so many top students staring at him intentionally or unintentionally, Chen Chen couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. Unfortunately, Xie Jing inside was indifferent as if he hadn't heard it. Can bite the bullet and continue calling people.

As his voice got louder, Xie Jing finally noticed his voice, turned his head to look at the door, and saw Chen Chen with a frustrated face.

Seeing that Xie Jing finally saw him, Chen Chen quickly waved at him. Xie Jingli put down the unfinished chemistry problem, smiled apologetically at the people in the back row, and walked towards Chen Chen.

"Are you looking for something for me?" Xie Jing asked while pulling Chen Chen to the stairs, blocking the unkind eyes from the classroom.

"Why can't I call you or send you text messages?" Chen Chen muttered and complained.If it wasn't for Xie Jing not responding to text messages, he wouldn't have to be watched by a group of Class [-]

Xie Jing touched his pocket and suddenly remembered, "I found out that there was no electricity in the morning, so I threw it at home. What do you want from me?"

Only then did Chen Chen remember Xie Jing's purpose, and quickly said, "My mother just called me. She saw your grandma go to your house, and she felt that something was wrong no matter what she thought. Let me call you quickly."

Xie Jing's grandma didn't have much contact with Xie Jing's family, and Chen Chen's mother knew a little about this matter after living upstairs and downstairs for so long.No one can tell what happened back then, but Xie Jing's uncle came to the door from time to time to find excuses to ask for money. Although everyone didn't say it on the surface, everyone knew that he was not authentic in private. They also sighed with Liu Xuejuan and Xie Jing's mother and son. Life is not easy.

Today, Chen Chen's mother ran out of vinegar for cooking, and when she went downstairs to buy it, she happened to bump into Liu Xuejuan's younger siblings helping Xie Jing's grandma upstairs.

After much deliberation, she realized that Liu Xuejuan was the only woman in the family, so no matter what she said, she was at a disadvantage.Seeing the time, school is almost over, so I quickly called my son at school and asked him to ventilate Xie Jingtong.

Chen Chen looked at Xie Jing's expressionless face, "Your grandma is..."

Xie Jing took several deep breaths in a row before slowly separating his clenched fists, "It's okay, I'll be home right away."

"Are you sure? Or, I'll accompany you back." Chen Chen said worriedly, looking at Xie Jing's appearance and hearing his/mother's tone, it really didn't look like he was okay.

Xie Jing raised his head and raised the corner of his mouth at Chen Chen. The smile was so weak that it disappeared in a flash, but his tone was extremely firm, "Every time they take advantage of my mother's affection for my father, I won't let them all have a chance this time."

Hearing that Xie Jing had already said that, after Chen Chen repeatedly told Xie Jing to go to him for something, he went back uneasy.

Xie Jing took the key and opened the door, and saw an old woman wearing an old-fashioned gray cloth gown and a small bun sitting on the ground, holding a photo of his father in her arms, crying heart-piercingly , "...Boss, you are an unfilial son, so you left so early, leaving your old mother, and your useless brother, how can you live..."

Liu Xuejuan was at a loss, and stood aside with a face full of embarrassment, neither helping nor not helping.

It was his little aunt, Shi Shiran, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Even though the old man was sitting on the ground, he didn't have the slightest intention to go forward to comfort her. Her eyes were constantly rolling and she was thinking of something.

Seeing this scene, Xie Jing gritted his teeth.

Zhao Chunfang came this time to make her eldest daughter-in-law submit, so she went straight to the photo of her eldest son as soon as she entered the door, hugged the photo in her arms and refused to let go, and began to cry loudly while sitting on the ground. There is absolutely no way to take her.

Zhao Chunfang was secretly proud that she was able to subdue the eldest daughter-in-law, and at the same time she kept talking about her difficulty, and while she was still immersed in the sad atmosphere she created, suddenly a figure approached her and grabbed her. caught her arm.

Now Zhao Chunfang couldn't care less about crying, she scolded with staring eyes: "Xiao Jing, what do you want to do?!"

Xie Jing ignored her, pulled Zhao Chunfang up from the ground with all his strength, then snatched his father's photo with his hands, frowning and wiped off the marks on it with his hands.

Standing foolishly, Zhao Chunfang's face was covered with tears and snot, her stunned expression was embarrassing and ridiculous.

The little aunt who had been silent on the sidelines couldn't help but speak now, "Xie Jing, what kind of tutor are you. Your grandma's body is not good, what if something good or bad happens to you just in case?"

Liu Xuejuan also frowned when she saw Xie Jing's actions just now, but her child couldn't get someone else to come to her house to teach her a lesson, so she immediately retorted: "What are you talking about? Isn't Xie Jing also feeling sorry for his grandma?" ? You’ve been sitting there for a long time, and you didn’t come to help the old man even if something happened to him.”

Aunt Xie Jing was choked back by her words, feeling depressed and unable to get angry, turned her face away and snorted coldly, and stopped speaking.

Xie Jing put the wiped photo frame back on the cabinet, turned around and looked at Zhao Chunfang.

"Xiao, Xiaojing." Zhao Chunfang called her in a whisper.No matter how rough she was with Liu Xuejuan, she was always somewhat lacking in confidence when it came to Xie Jing, not only for this child, but also for her eldest son who died young.

Xie Jing smiled as if nothing had happened, took Zhao Chunfang's hand and helped her to the sofa to finish, and gave her two tissues.

Zhao Chunfang began to slowly wipe away tears, thank you

Xie Jing asked while passing tea, "Grandma, why are you here today?"

Zhao Chunfang first looked at the young daughter-in-law beside her, and under the signal of the other's eyes, said hesitantly: "I, I still miss you, I miss Dad."

"Really?" Xie Jing lowered his head with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "How is Xiaoyi? I haven't seen him for a long time."

When talking about her beloved grandson, the eagerness in Zhao Chunfang's eyes became more real, "He, he is very good, he eats, sleeps and sleeps every day, or he just goes out to play with friends, and his life is better than mine. .”

"That's good." Xie Jingzhuang seemed to mention it unintentionally, "How is the matter of going abroad going? Don't you need to take a language class in advance?"

"No problem." As soon as Zhao Chunfang said this, her young daughter-in-law secretly pinched her leg.She suddenly realized that she shouldn't have said these words, and smiled embarrassingly.

Liu Xuejuan rolled her eyes secretly. As soon as the old lady entered the door, she threw herself in front of Xie Wangshan's photo, crying and howling, and couldn't help herself. Those who didn't know thought what she had done to her old man.What are you talking about thinking about your son now, why didn't you come two years ago, but the second family came to the door when they asked for money.

But she happened to be Wang Shan's mother.Liu Xuejuan silently glanced at the photos on the cabinet, her heart was blocked by a surge of sourness, she blinked her eyes, trying to suppress the moisture in her eyes.

Liu Xuejuan's eyes wandered, Xie Jing bowed his head and said nothing, his aunt was secretly anxious, two days later the house will be paid a deposit, the money hasn't been settled yet, otherwise she wouldn't have urged the old lady to come back again.

"Sister-in-law, my mother and I are here today, and I still want to tell you about the house."

Zhao Chunfang immediately said: "Yes, yes, that's why I came here today. I think the house is really nice. It's on the second floor. It's convenient for me to go up and down, and it's close to the vegetable market. I know you brought Xiao Jing It’s not easy, you can give as much money as you can.”

Just now, he said he was thinking about his son and grandson, but now he has talked, and what he is thinking about is his family's little money.The sarcasm in Xie Jing's eyes flashed away.

Liu Xuejuan was very angry, and said angrily: "Didn't the second brother's family save a sum of money for Xiaoyi to go abroad? Just let him go out two years later."

"Then how can I do it!" Zhao Chunfang and Aunt Xie Jing said loudly together, Xie Jing's mother and son looked at them with quiet eyes, clearly saying: Why not.

Aunt Xie Jing pretended to cough twice, "Xiaoyi's grades are not as good as Xiaojing's, and he can still study in the [-]th class of the attached high school. His father and I are thankful that he can pass the high school entrance examination. Now it is difficult to find a job. Looking at the diploma, it’s just like Xiaoyi’s. If you stay in the domestic university, you can’t pass the exam. If you don’t go abroad, you don’t have any future.”

Zhao Chunfang nodded in agreement.

This means that they also want a house, they also want to go abroad, and their family takes advantage of everything. How can such a good thing come in this world.Liu Xuejuan was angry and angry.

"Xiaojing's grades are good, his father can rest assured that he is in the spirit of heaven. Before he left, he loved Xiaojing the most and respected my old mother the most. He was still at that time. When I coughed twice, he would have to add clothes to me. If it weren't for him I left early..." Zhao Chunfang was about to wipe away tears as she spoke.

Xie Jing stood up suddenly, turned around and entered the room, and after a while, came out with a red notebook.

Xie Jing's aunt's eyes lit up all at once, she saw at a glance that Xie Jing was holding a passbook in his hand, could it be that Xie Jing was moved by them?

Liu Xuejuan's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the passbook.Xie Jing was sensible early on, and she didn't hide these things from Xie Jing. Xie Jing knew how much money the family had and where it was kept.She was afraid that Xie Jing wanted to give up the money in exchange for a peaceful family.

Xie Jing handed the passbook to Zhao Chunfang, and his aunt couldn't wait to take it. She turned to the last page and looked at the numbers on it. She couldn't believe it, "That's all!"

Xie Jing nodded, "That's all, my mother wanted to save it for me to study."

He looked at Zhao Chunfang, who also didn't believe it, "Grandma, you still remember."

"Huh?" Zhao Chunfang was puzzled.

"When my dad left, he held my hand in the hospital and told me to study hard, be filial to my mother, and be filial to you. Didn't you also be there at that time?"

Suddenly, Zhao Chunfang's face turned pale, pale, and she murmured in a low voice: "You still remember, you still remember."

Xie Jing's eyes were as deep as a bottomless lake, shaking slightly, as if he could reveal the secret of the year, "I always remember it, grandma, you won't forget it, right?"

With trembling hands, Zhao Chunfang pulled Aunt Xie Jing to stand up, "I just remembered that the clothes outside the balcony haven't been confiscated yet, I have to go home to collect the clothes, otherwise they will be blown away by the wind."

"That, that..." Before the money came, how could Aunt Xie Jing be willing to leave, but Zhao Chunfang's strength suddenly increased at this moment, and she couldn't break free no matter what, and was dragged to the door.

Liu Xuejuan didn't know what secret words Xie Jing and Zhao Chunfang had exchanged, but she was relieved to be able to send these two away.

Xie Jing followed to the door calmly, "Grandma, I'll come back another day."

Zhao Chunfang didn't dare to say anything more, she nodded hastily, and took her aunt's wrist and went downstairs. It seemed that the old lady was quite vigorous.

As soon as the door was closed, Liu Xuejuan immediately turned around and asked Xie Jing: "Xiao Jing, what did you say to your grandma just now? What did your father tell you?"

The corners of Xie Jing's mouth froze, but he still answered neatly: "Didn't my dad tell me a few words the day I went out?"

"Then why did your grandma react that way?"

Xie Jing shrugged, "Who knows? Maybe it's because I can't stand my dad."

Liu Xuejuan believed Xie Jing's words, wondered for a while, and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Xie Jing stood in the living room, silently staring at the man in the black and white photo, and after a while, Xie Jing called out to Liu Xuejuan in the kitchen: "Mom, I'll go out for a while."

"Are you coming back for dinner then?"

"No more." Xie Jing's answer was heard in Liu Xuejuan's ears with the sound of him closing the door. Liu Xuejuan complained while chopping vegetables, and went out to be with someone without saying a word.
