grey alley

Jiang Tan took Pei Xiqing back to Jiang's house, and Mrs. Jiang was waiting at the door.

As soon as he was ushered in, she immediately went up to meet him, holding Pei Xiqing's hand and looking left and right.

Pei Xiqing really looked like his mother Jiang Qianxue.Mrs. Jiang watched and couldn't help wiping away tears. She had been heartless for most of her life. Even though they didn't love this neurotic eldest daughter so much, they still couldn't help being sad after knowing that she had passed away.

The two blows from a white-haired man to a black-haired man made Mrs. Jiang's emotions really a little sensitive. Seeing Pei Xiqing was like a flood that burst a dike.

Pei Xiqing's face seemed to be slightly moved, but after two years of dating, Jiang Tan could see the lack of color in his eyes, he sighed invisibly, and comforted him: "Xiqing just got off the plane and took another seat. After driving for half a day, I must have been a little tired when I just got home, why don't you go to rest first, and then talk about the old days when you are rested."

Mrs. Jiang was sobbing and put away her tears, "That's right, I forgot about this emotionally for a while." She took Pei Xiqing's hand and tried to smile as kindly as possible, "The second floor has been cleaned up for you a long time ago. In the room, the quilt was just dried yesterday, so go up and rest."

Pei Xiqing nodded slightly and went upstairs.Mrs. Jiang looked at his back and clearly felt the strangeness between the two of them.

Jiang Wei put his arms around her shoulders from behind and comforted her: "He grew up alone outside, and it's normal for him to be a little strange to us. This kind of thing always has to be done slowly, there is no rush."

"I know," Mrs. Jiang wiped the corners of her eyes, "I'm just... a little worried about how to raise a child safely and healthily with Qianxue's mental state before."

"It's okay, take your time," Jiang Wei said slowly, "...take your time."

Madam Jiang mumbled and stared at the handkerchief in her hand, "Am I being unfeeling, leaving my child outside and ignoring it for more than 20 years..."

"We can't help it either," Jiang Wei caressed her shoulders, her old back was a little rickety, "She doesn't want to live with us, as the children of you and me, but she is too hostile to us..."

Mrs. Jiang's background is not bad, even very good. She grew up held in the hands of many parents, so she was proud and arrogant when she was young, but unexpectedly fell in love with Jiang Wei.When Jiang Wei married her, he was just a grassroots young man, because he was a visiting son-in-law, and basically relied on her for everything.

When she was young, she never had a bad time, until she gave birth to Jiang Qianxue.

The first insurmountable embarrassment and disaster in her life was brought to her by her daughter.

Mrs. Jiang sat on the sofa and leaned on his shoulder under Jiang Wei's comfort, "I didn't even know he existed before he appeared in front of us. I really hope...his growth is not influenced by Qianxue. any effect of..."

Pei Xiqing arrived in the room and looked around.The room is decorated in a warm style, with light yellow curtains, the balcony is opened outside, and several potted plants are raised.It can be seen that the decoration of the room has been done with care, and before he entered the door, he saw another sealed room diagonally opposite the door. He guessed that it should be Jiang Shuwang's, after all, there is a side in the hall of this house. The glass cabinet is specially placed for some racing car models, and one can tell it belongs to Jiang Shuwang at a glance.

The old couple were reluctant to put it away, after all, Jiang Shuwang usually loves these things the most.

The two of them are really not young anymore, and Jiang Wei has already passed the age of retirement. Many things in the company are beyond his control, so he can only delegate power to his subordinates. He called him back to cultivate his relationship, probably because of this matter.

He put down his phone, went to the bathroom to take a shower and changed a set of clothes, then lay on the bed and picked up the phone to scroll through some domestic news. He read all kinds of messy news. After a preliminary screening, he saw Lin Mizhi Post your daughter's daily sharing publicly.

The finger on the screen paused and clicked in.

A newborn baby is like a wrinkled and thin monkey, which is really not good-looking. Lin Mizhi unconsciously took 360-degree "ugly photos" of the infant child, and then happily selected a few of the most beautiful ones. Ugly sent it out, with words: "Welcome to this world, my beautiful and lovely little princess."

…For a moment, not knowing whether to complain about the photos or the copywriting, Pei Xiqing was silent for a while: "."

He browsed through the posts for a while, and suddenly had a thought, and entered Lu Mingzhou's name on the search engine.

There is no news about Lu Mingzhou.

What was found was still a few years ago.

After turning off the phone, Pei Xiqing quickly fell asleep, and ended up having strange dreams all night.

The next day he was woken up by a knock on the door. Jiang Wei and Mrs. Jiang would not bother him to rest. Pei Xiqing went to open the door and saw Jiang Tan, who had stayed here all night, greeting him, "Morning, Xiqing , breakfast is ready, let's wash up and come down to eat."

Pei Xiqing responded, rubbed her hair and went to the bathroom.

The breakfast time was a little quiet, with only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding for a while.

Jiang Wei and his wife don't know if they are familiar with him or because they usually eat breakfast like this. They basically don't speak at the table. to answer.

None of the four mentioned the huge collection cabinet across the dining table and the assortment of racing models in it.

At the end of breakfast, Mrs. Jiang glanced at Pei Xiqing, hesitated to speak, Pei Xiqing saw it, and asked her, "What's wrong?" He paused, "Grandma?"

During the past two years when Pei Xiqing was abroad, they had almost no contact. Mrs. Jiang had dialed his number, but he either failed to answer it due to the time difference or had no time to answer it. There were some deliberate elements, and Mrs. Jiang could only find out about his situation here in detail after asking Jiang Tan, so they hardly communicated with each other in the past two years since they recognized him.

This is the first time Pei Xiqing called her.

Mrs. Jiang is probably old, and her emotions are particularly easy to get angry. She was shocked when she heard the words, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then she smiled at him with a kindness that was almost flattering: "You have spent the past two years outside. How is it? The time difference between our two places is too big, and there is no suitable time to contact you and have a good chat with you. "

"Very good." Pei Xiqing glanced at Jiang Tan, then smiled at her and said, "After all, my little uncle has been taking care of me."

"That's right," Mrs. Jiang said to Jiang Tan: "It's really hard work for you."

Jiang Tan hastily waved his hand, "I also have business over there, so I'll take a look at Xiqing's, it's not hard work," he said with a smile, "Besides, Xiqing's grades are so good, and there are many people chasing him over there. I was his boyfriend and warned me not to get close to him," he joked: "Our department is so good, if you think about it from another angle, I'm taking advantage of it."

Mrs. Jiang was rarely amused by him, she covered her mouth and her eyes turned into crescent moons: "Is that so, you are the best talker among your brothers and sisters."

"Yeah," Jiang Tan said seriously, "I put some honey in my mouth every morning after getting up, this is the secret of sweet mouth."

Mrs. Jiang smiled even more.

Pei Xiqing glanced casually, but found that Jiang Wei across the table was looking at him.Pei Xiqing smiled back at him, but Jiang Wei's face remained unchanged, still looking at him.

After breakfast, they sat for a while, Jiang Tan and Mrs. Jiang were downstairs, but Pei Xiqing was called to the study on the second floor by Jiang Wei.

The dark wooden furniture was placed in the study, decorated in a simple and solemn style, Jiang Wei said to him: "Sit down." He walked to the other side and sat down opposite Pei Xiqing.

"Son," he sighed from the main seat, and his eyes couldn't tell if there was pity in his eyes: "I know that you were degraded and suffered outside a few years ago, and after bringing you back, we managed to reunite as a family. He and Pei Xiqing looked at each other, "You must know that we once lost a son, but we have ignored our eldest daughter for so many years. Even the news of Qianxue's death was told to us by yourself two years ago." .”

He put his index finger on his forehead and rubbed it, "We are getting older, and we can't do many things well. I know you may not understand some things, and you may even have resentment towards us in your heart. This is normal. of."

"But I still want to say that we brought you back because we really wanted to compensate you, not because of anything else. Some things need time and getting along to explain and let go. About Qianxue, we I'm really sorry for her, but we also want you to be well and stop suffering because of the mistakes we made before."

"We are really happy that you can come back, and we are already the closest relatives left in this world." His expression became serious, "Thank you for your willingness to return and accept us."

"It's just that your grandma has been stimulated too much in the past two years, and her spirit is not stable. If you have any difficulties and needs, you can tell me directly, okay?"

Pei Xiqing lightly tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and nodded.

The tense wrinkles on Jiang Wei's face eased, and his eyes caressed his face, "You and Qianxue really look alike."

"Grandpa," Pei Xiqing said slowly, "may I ask why my mother cut off contact with the Jiang family in the first place."

Why?If you really explain why in detail, how can it be explained clearly in a few words.Jiang Qianxue has been a little different from ordinary children since she was a child. Mrs. Jiang took her to the hospital for an examination after discovering her abnormality, and she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and bipolar disorder.

Mrs. Jiang didn't want to believe it at first.

When she was eight years old, Mrs. Jiang had a gathering at home, and her friend brought a white long-haired cat with different-colored pupils. Jiang Qianxue was very fond of it, and kept petting its head.

The friend gave her the cat to play in the back garden. That afternoon, the friend was leaving and went looking for the cat, but he couldn't find it anywhere in the back garden. Mrs. Jiang pushed open the door of Jiang Qianxue's room, only to see herself as cute as Yuxue. The daughter of the cat was pinching the cat's neck, and her hands were covered with claw marks from being caught. She said nothing, and stretched out her hand to Mrs. Jiang to show her the two gems she just got.

One blue and one green, are two different colored cat pupils, wrapped in bloodshot eyes and shrunk, the vitreous fluid is flowing everywhere.

She said that the mermaid princess in the daughter of the sea is very stupid, why is she unwilling to attack the prince?She said the potted plants on the balcony are annoying, why are there so many green things?She said the cat's eyes are so beautiful, why can't they be snapped out and put in a box for collection?She said, Mom, why did you hit me?Can't I like pretty things?

Jiang Qianxue is not just bipolar.

Her character is naturally suspicious and sensitive, and often has unreasonable anxiety and neurotic behaviors. She doesn't love them, and sometimes she even looks at them with strange, indifferent and hostile eyes.Sometimes her behavior would frighten Mrs. Jiang, so much so that she developed extreme disgust and even loathing for her during the year-to-year relationship with this daughter.

This situation intensified after Jiang Qianxue became an adult. In the end, she and Mrs. Jiang had a big quarrel over trivial matters in life. She took out a knife and pressed it on her wrist to force Mrs. Jiang to bow her head. Mrs. Jiang tremblingly said to her : "Get out of my house, why do I have a daughter like you..."

After torturing each other for so many years, she really broke down.

One is naturally sick, while the other is arrogant and unwilling to bow his head. The end of the collision between the two can only be that one of them is out.

So Jiang Qianxue left by herself.

When she left, she still smiled and said goodbye to Mrs. Jiang, as if the dispute between the two had never happened before, and said softly: "Then I'm leaving, Dad, Mom, if we step out of this house today, we will sever ties. Even if it is me Don’t come to help me if you starve to death on the street tomorrow, and please don’t come to see me after I die, this is what I deserve, right?”

It is so capricious.

There was silence in the study for a while, Pei Xiqing said: "I see, it turned out to be like this."

Jiang Wei stared at his expression, stunned, regretful, and sighed, but he didn't see half of the disbelief and amazement at the absurdity of the past on the face of this grandson, as if he had already guessed it should be like this .

Jiang Wei opened his mouth for no reason, but couldn't say anything. Seeing Pei Xiqing turn his gaze away, he still smiled slightly at him. His light brown eyes were clear and bright. Someone in my memory is exactly the same: "Thank you, grandpa, thank you for being willing to tell me what happened back then."

At that moment, he almost thought that the person in front of him was Jiang Qianxue.
