Show one's ugliness

Qiao Aiqing came back in the light rain.After she went to the house to change her shoes, she got up unscrupulously outside.

Qi Heng saw that she didn't want to talk to her when she came back, so he continued to squat on the ground and adjusted the general's collar.

Feeling the low air pressure, Qiao Aiqing hurriedly washed her hands and went to the refrigerator to find ingredients.

Qi Heng stared at her and took the eggs and tomatoes, then looked away and said, "Last time, I cooked a table of dishes for others, and I came back to eat noodles. How do you want to fool me this time?"

This is obviously not happy.Qiao Aiqing stopped in her tracks and said, "Didn't Mom think about eating to save trouble, so why don't you delay going to work?"

"What time is it and I still go to work," Qi Heng said with a frown, "You don't even know what time I go to work, right? You know exactly when people move."

Qiao Aiqing tried to coax: "Then what do you want to eat?"

"If you don't eat, you'll be full."

"You tell me what you want to eat, son, and mom will make it for you."

"Come on, don't you feel tired?" Qi Heng got up and walked over, "I'll do it."

"Is it okay to eat tomato and egg noodles?" Qiao Aiqing asked with a smile.

Qi Heng took the tomatoes and eggs, and took a look at Qiao Aiqing: "You didn't eat the meal you cooked so hard, does Xiao Mingjun care?"

Seeing her son feel sorry for herself, Qiao Aiqing touched the back of Qi Heng's neck with maternal instinct: "The hair has grown."

Qi Heng tilted his head to avoid Qiao Aiqing's hand: "I told you I kept it on purpose."

Just as Qi Heng cracked the first egg into the bowl, there was a knock on the door in the living room.The general responded.

Qiao Aiqing was a little nervous: "Could it be your second uncle coming again?"

Qi Heng put down what he was doing: "Don't move, I'll go and see."

Standing outside the door was Ji Cen holding a large basin, and his light blue shirt was covered with lines soaked by raindrops.Originally, he deliberately didn't wear his beloved flowered shirt when he helped move house today, but now it has changed into a flowered shirt.

"Why are you here?" Qi Heng asked.

What an unwelcome statement.

Ji Cen was looking at the dog that Qi Heng was blocking with his legs, and he handed the basin to Qi Heng: "Bring some food for you, hurry up and eat while it's hot."

Ji Cen was holding a large basin on top of the large basin, and when he stretched out his arms to Qi Heng, the basin on top was shifted, and Qi Heng could see several dishes through the wide slit.

If Xiao Mingjun came to see him off, Qi Heng would definitely slam the door.It was Ji Cen who came, but Qi Heng didn't chase him away.But he didn't forgive anyone: "Who will send the leftovers here?"

"It's not leftovers, it's all untouched in the pot," Ji Cen patted the pot, "If you don't want to eat it, throw it away, I'm not responsible for taking it back."

"Little Cen, come in!" Qiao Aiqing broke the deadlock and came over and patted Qi Heng on the back, "Not yet."

"Take it." Ji Cen was obviously impatient, and directly sent the basin to Qi Heng's arms.

Qi Heng, who didn't wear a hat at home, was in an embarrassing period with a long cut hair, and the whole hairstyle looked very frizzy.When he raised his hand to pick up the basin Ji Cen was holding, his hair poked into Ji Cen's face.

"Xiao Cen, come in and sit down!" Qiao Aiqing waved.

Ji Cen handed over the basin firmly to Qi Heng: "No Aunt Qiao, I'm going back to Changqing."

Qiao Aiqing; "Have you finished eating? Didn't you just eat when I left?"

"I'm done." Ji Cen said.

It wasn't because Xiao Mingjun's mouth was so broken that Ji Cen picked up the speed to finish the bowl of rice.

Xiao Mingjun wanted to deliver the food himself, but he couldn't overcome his fear of dogs.They all went downstairs with basins, but they didn't come up.

Ji Cen saw how cowardly his uncle hated iron and steel, so he helped deliver the food.

Ji Cen finally came to the house, Qiao Aiqing thought he could come in and sit down.She stretched out her hand to pull Jicen into the door: "Wait until the rain stops, come in and sit for a while."

When Qi Heng turned around with the basin in his hand, he scolded the general who was a little excited to see Ji Cen: "Sit down! Sit down!"

The general really didn't move.

Qi Heng freed up one hand and gestured quickly: "Lie down!"

Ji Cen stared straight ahead, this dog is really amazing.Immediately after receiving Qi Heng's instruction, he stuck firmly to the floor.

Qiao Aiqing refused to let Ji Cen change his shoes, but pushed him to sit on the sofa.After sitting down, Ji Cen said, "Is this still the dog that bit me?"

Qi Heng: "Why don't you let it bite you again and feel it yourself?"

Before Ji Cen could wait, Qiao Aiqing clicked first: "What are you talking about, kid?"

Zhong Zhenghao's brother called to say that he needed a car, Zhong Zhenghao hurriedly finished his meal and left first.Because Ji Cen parked far away, he wanted to wait for the torrential rain to subside before leaving.

In this season, this virtue can always squeeze out a burst of rain.

Qi Heng was afraid that the general would have a sudden convulsion and bully Ji Cen again, so he took a bowl of rice and poured some vegetables on the plate to go back to the living room to eat.

Seeing this, Ji Cen thought to himself, he didn't want it just now, but now the food tastes better than anyone else.

He thought Qi Heng was afraid that he would seek revenge from the dog.He said, "Don't worry, I won't clean it up."

Qi Heng snorted: "I'm afraid it will take care of you."

Ji Cen is very curious about the general who has changed his face now: "How did you discipline him? Why is he so obedient now?"

"It's been grinded over and over again. If you don't obey, you will have nothing to eat." Qi Heng said while chewing his rice.

Ji Cen gave a thumbs up and continued to stare at the dog.Because of this vicious dog, he had a scar on his calf, which should be hard to get rid of.

If he had met the dog at that moment, he would have kicked it hard.Now looking at the general lying near him sticking out his tongue and exhaling, he still thinks it's cute.

Asking Ji Cen to sit still is not the case.Ji Cen didn't eat the fruit that Qiao Aiqing brought over.

After thinking for a while, Qi Heng went to find the box of cigarettes that was about to be empty in the coat hanging behind the door and threw it over.

Ji Cen picked up the cigarette case from the sofa: "Don't you know how to smoke?"

"It's for Coach Shen."

Ji Cen smiled.I remembered that when he was learning to drive, he brought cigarettes for Coach Shen every day.After taking the cigarette, he waited for Qi Heng to throw the lighter, but Qi Heng continued to eat.

He raised his eyebrows: "Smoke or fire?"

Qi Heng was stunned: "I don't have fire."

Ji Cen touched his pocket: "Throw all mine in the car."

Thinking of something, Qi Heng turned and went to the kitchen, brought the gas stove lighter, and lit it for Ji Cen after a short distance.

"Coach Shen is an old smoker." Ji Cen said.

Qi Heng: "Yes, if you get one in ten minutes, you won't be able to afford him."

Ji Cen looked at the cigarette in his pocket: "How do you know he likes to smoke this?"

"It just happened that the blind cat met a dead mouse."

Ji Cen laughed, and Qi Heng also laughed.

The two of them were able to calm down and chat.

It's still the kind that doesn't have time to play.

"You rested again today?" Ji Cen asked, smoking a cigarette, "Don't you only have two days off in a month? If you put it off for half a month, can the second half be eaten?"

"How do you know we have two days off a month?"

"I went to your gas station to refuel that day, but you were not there. I heard what your colleague said."

Qi Heng nodded: "I had a rest that day, and today I changed shifts with someone else."

Ji Cen: "I also said that I wanted to get the recharge card, but I didn't get it because you weren't here."

"Can't you just recharge directly? They can do it." Qi Heng said.

"Then you didn't raise the money, didn't you?" Ji Cen exhaled the smoke and said, "It's better for you to get the money for others."

Qi Heng pinched the ginger that he had bitten off as meat to the edge of the plate, and the ginger juice made his expression very painful: "Then I thank you."

"It's really not necessary, it's a win-win thing," Ji Cen continued, "I'll do it when I go to refuel. It's quite appropriate for you to add a tank of gas."

The general was already hungry.Lie on the ground waiting for Qi Heng not to feed it, and made a somewhat anxious sound.Qi Heng picked up the general's food bowl to serve the rice.

Because I want to see the rain.With Ji Cen's sudden movement, the general stood up.

Ji Cen was not scared by the dog, but was startled by Qi Heng.

It was too late and then it was too fast, Qi Heng suddenly turned back and rushed over and swung the general away.

The general was forced to step aside and hummed softly.

Ji Cen used his fingers to remove a small ball of rice that was thrown onto his pants and said, "I don't think it wants to do anything."

Qi Heng was also wrong in his judgment, he thought the general was going to have a convulsion.If he could be so fast last time, Ji Cen wouldn't have to be bitten.Thinking of this, he immediately locked the general in the back room.

Don't be careless, it's still safe to lock up.

The rain continued unabated, and Ji Cen was about to leave.

"Sit down a little longer, Cen." Qiao Aiqing got up.

Ji Cen: "No, I don't think the rain will stop for a while."

"Then take an umbrella and go," Qiao Aiqing said while calling to Qi Heng, who was going to shut the dog, "Go and get an umbrella, son."

"No need," Ji Cen opened the door and went out after speaking, "I'll just run to the car."

Under Qiao Aiqing's instructions, Qi Heng found a long-handled umbrella from behind the shoe cabinet and chased it out. He was wearing slippers and didn't want to go down.After locating Ji Cen's position in the gap between the stairs in the corridor, he threw the umbrella down.

"I'm stupid, why don't you smash me to death?"

Ji Cen looked at the umbrella that had fallen by his feet and said.

"Take it."

After Qi Heng yelled, he closed the door neatly, ignoring what Ji Cen muttered and cursed again.

Qiao Aiqing asked Qi Heng who was sitting at the table: "Did you give him the umbrella?"

"Give it." Qi Heng ate with a big mouthful.

Qiao Aiqing moved the dish towards Qi Heng, seeing that the plate on the table was not theirs, Qi Heng thought he had to send it back to Xiao Mingjun.

Suddenly I was upset again.

They have been cutting with Xiao Mingjun.

It's not that it just started, it's that he really realized it.

Thanks to the umbrella that fell from Qi Heng's corridor, Ji Cen was able to withstand the downpour and get into the car without getting wet.

The sky was like a leak, it was indeed a bit sultry in the afternoon, but I didn't think it was because of the heavy rain.

On the way back to Changqing, Ji Cen didn't dare to drive fast.

When he reached the intersection of Xibin Road and Xuefu Street, he had to stop the car.

Because someone was arguing in the middle of the road.

Through the swing of the wiper, Ji Cen was sure that a man was punching and kicking the woman sitting on the ground.The swearing tone could be felt through the car glass.

Ji Cen couldn't bear men beating women the most.Seeing that the man was approaching the killer every time, but the woman only knew how to hide her head.

He picked it up in one breath, pulled the handbrake, and got out of the car with the long-handled umbrella on the back seat.

It was raining heavily, and there were not many cars passing by, and they all chose to take a detour. Those who asked questions, once they heard that it was a family matter, they ignored it.

Under the light of the car lights, Ji Cen ran over to the rain and shouted, "Dude, stop hitting!"

The man pointed at Ji Cen to let him mind his own business.

Hearing the woman's cry, Ji Cen became even angrier.He put away the umbrella and held it in his hand, and yanked it hard on the man: "I fucking said stop hitting!"

The man did not expect to be beaten.He used the alcohol to make gestures with Ji Cen, but he couldn't take advantage of it, so he scolded the woman again and left.

Ji Cen opened the umbrella again and moved it to the head of the crying woman. He said loudly, "Sister? Are you okay?"

The woman slowly raised her head after she couldn't feel the rain falling.

Even though her hair was disheveled and her face was bruised, Ji Cen recognized her at a glance.

Ji Cen didn't say anything for a second, dropped the umbrella and got back into the car.

Drenched, he switched his car to another road and drove away.

Ma Qiannan looks too much like his father.

Seeing Ma Qiannan's face, Ji Cen could think of Ma Changfeng.

If at that intersection more than ten years ago, someone could have stopped Ma Changfeng's drinking behavior in time, wouldn't his father and mother not have died tragically.

He still clearly remembers how his parents' rivers of blood merged and flowed into the horse gourd.

Outside the cordon was crowded with onlookers.

He cried helplessly, but the policeman who was holding him did not let him move.

His life has been peaceful for so many years because the assailant, Ma Changfeng, has been punished by law.

Most of the time, Ji Cen would not want to think about the old things.After all, things are over.

But life doesn't let him calm down.Meeting Ma Qiannan was like turning on the flood switch, and what swept through was bloody memories and dark sadness.

When the car stopped at the gate of Yongli, what was dripping from his face could no longer tell whether it was the water in his hair or the tears in his eyes.
