After Yang Ruoan left, Lin Zhixia lost her appetite, so she got dressed and went downstairs.
It's now past eight o'clock in the evening, and there are no buses anymore.
The cold wind blew in the early winter night. Lin Zhixia bundled up her clothes and stood at the intersection for a long time before stopping a taxi. Tomorrow was Saturday and she would go back to live with her parents tonight.
It took more than an hour before the taxi arrived at the community where her parents lived.
Lin Zhixia opened the door and went in, only to see Mrs. Lin sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV with high spirits.
She called her mother, put on her slippers, took off her coat and walked towards Mother Lin.
Seeing her daughter coming back, Mother Lin raised her hand and turned off the TV. "Why are you coming back so late today? Have you had dinner?"
"have eaten."
Lin Zhixia sat down next to Mother Lin, looked around, and then asked, "Where's Dad, why didn't you see him?"
"He is on duty tonight," Mother Lin looked at Lin Zhixia tenderly with a smile in her eyes.
She suddenly felt that her mother's smile tonight was somewhat meaningful.
Unable to resist her mother's meaningful look, Lin Zhixia asked with a hint of uneasiness, "Mom, if you have anything to ask, just ask. Don't look at me like that!"
Mother Lin suddenly became energetic and asked directly without beating around the bush, "Who are you having dinner with tonight? Is it that boy? How is it? How do you feel about getting along with that boy?"
"Not with him, but with Ruoan."
Seeing her mother's momentarily disappointed expression, Lin Zhixia finally couldn't bear it, so she explained again, "He sent me a message, saying that he has been busy recently and may not be able to see her for a while."
On the way back, Zhao Xu sent her a WeChat message, saying that he was a little busy recently and would not meet her for the time being.
Hearing her daughter's explanation, Mother Lin felt a little more at ease, and instantly became energetic again. She was really afraid that Zhixia would continue to live in the past and not want to move forward. In the end, she worriedly warned, "Since he is busy, then Just contact him more, relationships are cultivated slowly, you know."
"knew."
Looking at her mother's worried eyes, Lin Zhixia said again, "Mom, since I promised you to get along well with him, I will definitely do it, don't worry."
Mother Lin finally patted Lin Zhixia's hand with satisfaction. She looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the living room. It was already a quarter past ten, and then she said, "You have been tired for a long day too. Go to bed early." !”
"Mom, you should go to bed early," Lin Zhixia said and walked towards her bedroom.
My mother's gentle voice came from behind.
"knew."
Lin Zhixia took her pajamas and walked toward the bathroom in a daze.
In fact, Zhao Xu called her several times while having dinner with Yang Ruo'an today. At that time, she was busy chatting with her best friend and didn't pay attention to her cell phone. She didn't receive it for a while.
She has a habit of turning her cell phone on silent mode during school, but she forgot to turn it on after school today.
Lin Zhixia, who was lying on the bed after taking a shower, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window through the glass, and felt a little sleepless for a while.
Maybe the sudden marriage of her best friend Yang Ruoan had a big impact on her, and she suddenly had the idea of getting married.
She also wants to have a home of her own.
When Li Ci arrived at Ruijing Community, he saw Liang Rong standing downstairs waiting anxiously from a distance. He parked the car next to Liang Rong, lowered the window and shouted: "Sister-in-law, why are you outside in such a cold weather?" Wait."
"I just came back. I saw the lights at home were out, so I thought you guys must not be back yet, so I'll just wait for you for a while," Liang Rong said, looking into the car, "Li Ci, I'm really troubling you today."
She worked as a cashier in a chain supermarket. She was supposed to be on the morning shift today, but she was notified at short notice that her boss wanted to conduct a surprise inspection, so she had no choice but to call Li Ci.
"Sister-in-law, you are too outspoken. If you can't answer Hengheng in the future, just call me directly," Li Ci said and turned off the car and got out of the car. "Hengheng fell asleep. I will carry him up."
Li Ciqing opened the car door, picked up Xie Jiaheng, who was still sleeping, and walked towards the corridor entrance. Liang Rong behind him quickly ran after him, swiped his card and opened the door.
Li Ci had just put Xie Jiaheng down and left the bedroom when he heard Liang Rong say to him in a low voice, "I asked you to pick up Hengheng for me in such a hurry today. You must not have eaten yet. I'll get you something to eat."
"No, sister-in-law, I'll go back directly," Li Ci said and walked towards the door.
He was in a really bad mood tonight. He didn't want Liang Rong to see it. She had finally come out of it in the past two years, and he couldn't let her get stuck in the past again.
"Li Ci..."
Just as Liang Rong shouted, Li Ci, who had already opened the door, turned to face her, "Sister-in-law, you go to bed early, I'm leaving."
Looking at Li Ci who had already walked out, Liang Rong clearly felt that he was in a bad mood tonight, so she began to make random guesses in her mind. After all, he had just been transferred to T City not long ago. Did her phone call today disturb his work? .
Li Ci, who went downstairs and sat in the car, was not in a hurry to go back. He picked up the cigarette case, shook out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. The faint blue flame from the lighter jumped across his face with clear features. , I saw him taking a deep breath and exhaling a mouthful of white smoke. The white misty smoke clouds covered his painful eyes.
Li Ci sat in the car for more than ten minutes, suppressed the depressed emotions in his heart, started the car and drove towards the army. Halfway through, his mother Han Suqing called.
Li Ci connected to Bluetooth and connected the phone, and his mother's gentle voice came, "Son, are you busy today?"
"It's okay," Li Ci's voice was a little hoarse, probably because he had just smoked.
"Then you can take a break tomorrow to meet someone," Han Suqing's gentle voice contained a hint of refusal.
Han Suqing had been worrying about Li Ci's marriage in the past few years. Seeing that she was thirty-three years old, she was not worried at all.
Li Ci said helplessly, "Mom, I have to train tomorrow and can't get out."
"Then when do you have time?"
"uncertain."
"Li Ci..." Even though she was a little angry, Han Suqing maintained good self-control, but her voice was slightly raised.
"Mom, you know, I don't want to think about this right now."
Han Suqing suppressed the anger that was about to burst out of her heart, "Then when will you consider burying me in the loess?"
For a moment, Li Ci was choked and speechless. Looking at the withered and yellow vegetation passing by outside the car window, he actually felt a little powerless.
Based on his mother's temper, he knew there was no way he could escape this time.
Then he asked: "When will it be tomorrow?"
When Han Suqing heard her son relax, she quickly said, "Tomorrow night," and then she didn't forget to remind you, "The message has been sent to you on WeChat. Remember to dress nicely and don't wear your clothes again."
"What's wrong with my clothes? I think..."
Li Ci listened to the sudden hanging up on the other end of the phone, sighed quietly, and muttered helplessly, "What's wrong with that dress? I think it looks pretty."
