Maybe it’s because the Chinese New Year has just passed and there aren’t too many things going on in each office. After spending a relaxing week, it’s time for the weekend off again.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Xiangyang finished his work and drove home.
"Hey, why are you alone at home? Where's dad?" Jiang Xiangyang opened the door and returned home, only to find his sister Jiang Kexin sitting at home alone watching TV.
"I guess I went out to dance in the square." My sister Jiang Kexin didn't look back and continued to watch TV with a nasal voice.
Jiang Xiangyang didn't notice anything wrong with his sister's mood, thinking that her sister was crying because of the plot in the TV series.
Jiang Xiangyang returned to his room, changed his clothes, walked to the sofa, and prepared to sit down and watch what his sister was watching on TV. After watching it for a while, I realized that there didn't seem to be any sad plot. Why was my sister's tears so low?
Jiang Xiangyang watched him sit for a long time, and his sister Kexin didn't say anything. She sensed something was wrong and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Kexin didn't reply. After a while, she slowly said: "Sister, what do you think our family would be like if our mother was still here?"
What would this home be like if mom was still here? It's not that Jiang Xiangyang has never thought about this problem, but she doesn't dare to think about it.
Although his mother has passed away for so many years, Jiang Xiangyang knows that this will always be the heaviest pain in the hearts of his father, sister and himself. Not mentioning it all these years doesn't mean it has been forgotten, it just remains buried in everyone's heart.
If mother was still here, there would be more laughter and joy in this family, right? If my mother was still here, my father would not just stay at home after get off work every day, but might go out for a walk with my mother. My sister might be happier and not be envious of other people's families from time to time. Maybe I won't rush to get married just to reassure my father.
But what if? Mother can never come back to us.
"What happened? Why did you suddenly think of this?" Jiang Xiangyang knew that his sister was in a very low mood and wanted to know what happened.
"Sister, haven't you noticed that Dad has changed recently?" Jiang Kexin raised her head and glanced at her sister.
"Really? I didn't seem to pay attention." Jiang Xiangyang recalled some recent clips. Has his father changed? Maybe I paid too little attention to my father, so I didn't notice anything.
"Then when dad comes back, you can ask him. Recently he seems to be getting closer to Aunt Wang, who sells fruit in our community. I'm going to bed first." Jiang Kexin knew that she shouldn't blame her father, but she still felt a little uncomfortable. It’s because you can’t pass the test in your own heart.
Looking at his sister's leaving figure, Jiang Xiangyang's heart sank. What happened to make his sister so unhappy?
Jiang Xiangyang sat on the sofa and waited until half past nine before Jiang's father came back from outside. Father Jiang hummed a song and put the keys on the coffee table. It could be seen that Father Jiang was in a good mood.
"Xiang Yang, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Father Jiang asked with concern when he saw his daughter sitting on the sofa.
"Dad, what were you doing out?"
"I didn't do much, I just went out and danced in the square." Jiang's father smiled awkwardly.
"Dancing with Aunt Wang?" Jiang Xiangyang asked directly.
"You... know?" Father Jiang's tone was hesitant.
"When I came back in the evening, I saw that Kexin's mood was a little strange. Listen to what she said." Jiang Xiangyang didn't know how he felt now. His mother had actually been gone for several years.
In fact, although my father is already sixty, he is neither young nor old, so it is appropriate to find another one. I can't let my father spend the remaining three or four years alone.
"Xiang Yang, you know, your mother has been gone for so many years. A few years ago, your sister was still studying and the house was a mess. I didn't have the time to think about it." Father Jiang sighed and talked about this in front of his daughter. Also a little hesitant.
"Dad, I know you've suffered a lot these years." Jiang Xiangyang knew that he usually lived in Xiaohe Town and only went home on weekends. My sister also lives where she works. She only comes back every now and then, and her father is usually at home alone. It was okay during the day, as people came to the store to sell things, and my father could still talk to them. But when I went home at night, my father was alone. Father, I am indeed a little lonely.
"You and your sister will get married soon, so that I can have the honor to meet your mother." Father Jiang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Now that his two daughters have joined the work, his biggest wish is that his two daughters get married soon.
"Dad, live your life well and don't worry about me and my sister." Jiang Xiangyang knew what his father was thinking, but his emotional affairs did worry his father.
Jiang Xiangyang thought for a while and asked the question in his heart, "What are you and Aunt Wang Fang going to do?"
Father Jiang paused for a moment and said in a tactful tone: "Xiang Yang, you also know the situation of your Aunt Wang. She is also a hard-working person. Her husband died early and she only has one son. She finally raised her son up. Now her son also We are already married, and our grandson is already in elementary school. The woman is taking care of him, so you don’t have to worry about it, so Aunt Wang found a business selling fruit."
"You know, I run a waste recycling business. When your mother was here, she helped me do a lot of work. After she left, I couldn't handle many things, and our family's business also stopped. I and Your Aunt Wang has discussed it, and if you don't object, the two of us will live together, and she can also help me with business matters." Father Jiang continued.
"Have you told your sister about this?" Jiang Xiangyang did not object to his father finding another one, but he didn't know what his sister thought.
"You are the boss. I want to ask for your opinion first. If you think it's okay, I'll tell your sister." Father Jiang was worried that his two daughters would not agree. But I had made an agreement with Wang Fang before that if the daughter disagreed, the matter would be forgotten, and everything would still be based on the two daughters' ideas.
"Dad, as long as you are happy, I agree. As for my sister, let me tell you." Jiang Xiangyang thought that everyone should have his own happiness, and so does his father.
I haven't gotten married yet, but if I get married in the future, I'll probably have less time to take care of my father. Although I can often accompany my father, it is different from Aunt Wang Fang. There are some things that my father can say to Aunt Wang Fang, but he cannot say to himself.
"Xiang Yang..." Father Jiang also felt uncomfortable. His two daughters were so obedient and sensible, but it was a pity that his wife could no longer see them.
