"I passed the exam, I passed the exam!" After receiving the admission notice, Qiao Simei jumped up excitedly, and then immediately ran all the way back to Wang Zhong's home.
"Brother-in-law! I passed the exam, I passed the exam!" Simei opened the door excitedly, ran all the way into the back room, and loudly announced her success to everyone. But the atmosphere in the room was a bit scary.
Wang Zhong, San Li and Qi Qi were all sitting on the sofa, but all of them had their heads lowered and their faces were downcast.
"What's wrong with you?" The smile on Simei's face gradually disappeared, and she frowned in confusion and asked in confusion.
"My cousin called just now and said that my uncle passed away."
Sanli's sudden words made Simei Lei's mind go blank. He opened his mouth, widened his eyes, and his face was full of shock. All the happiness and excitement just now were forgotten.
"Uncle...Sister, you are lying to me, aren't you!" Walking from the door to Sanli, Simei's eyes were already filled with crystal tears, and quietly, they overflowed from the corners of her eyes, It slid down the sides of her cheeks, leaving two traces of tears.
Simei's voice also became choked with sobs. She shook Sanli's shoulders and became more and more excited and cried more and more loudly: "Sister, you are joking with me, right?"
"Simei, I'm very sad too, but it was my cousin who called me just now. My cousin wouldn't joke with us about this kind of thing!"
"Sanli, you take Simei and Qiqi and rush over first. Your uncle is gone. Your second aunt must be very sad now. You hurry over to check on the situation and see if your cousin needs any help. I'll go to the bank to get it. Pay some money and go later!”
Wang Zhong knew that there was no use sitting here and being sad now. It would be better to rush over directly and see Qi Zhiqiang for the last time, so before they started complaining, he directly asked them to go to Qi Weimin's house.
"Let's go now!" Sanli stood up hurriedly, Simei followed closely behind, Qiqi also stood up hurriedly,
Wang Zhong did not expect that after several years of treatment, Qi Zhiqiang would die so early. Although it was many years later than the original work, but thinking about it carefully, it was no wonder that Qi Zhiqiang was a good old man who loved to worry about his life.
His eldest son Qi Weimin is a sensible person, but his son Qi Weiyi and daughter Qi Xiaoya are a bit hard to tell, not to mention Qiao Yicheng and others who are not easy to worry about.
The second strong man must have found a girlfriend. Not to mention being labeled as such, if he continues to be delayed, he may even become a father.
The Ye Xiaolang that Yicheng was talking to wanted to use Yicheng as a springboard and wanted Yicheng to help solve the problems in her family. Although Wang Zhong had specifically told Qi Zhiqiang not to tell Qi Zhiqiang about these things, lest he worry about it. But there is no airtight wall in the world. His health was not good to begin with. Although Wang Zhong helped nurse him back to health for several years and was able to get out of bed and walk, it was still early to be cured.
But it's not to the point where he will suddenly die. At most, his condition will be aggravated.
After taking the money and arriving at Qi's house, Yicheng and Erqiang were also there.
Seemingly seeing the confusion in Wang Zhong's eyes, Yi Cheng explained: "Qingyuan was nearby when Qi Weimin called me. He drove me here!"
Besides them, there was also a sweet-looking girl with a ponytail and a women's suit.
"Uncle, I am Chang Xingyuan, Weimin's girlfriend." The little girl was very polite, but there was a bit of heaviness and sadness on her face.
Chang Xingyuan? Qi Qi was taken by her by her side, and this girl was able to get together with Qi Weimin. It seemed that the fate was really wonderful.
But now is not the time to dwell on this, "Where are your second aunt and Weimin?"
Yicheng said hurriedly: "Second aunt is in the room, Weimin has gone to contact the funeral parlor."
"I'll go take a look!" Wang Zhong's mood was also a little heavy. Although he had experienced many dungeon worlds and witnessed many life and death, Wang Zhong's heart was still made of flesh and blood. He was not a heart of stone. Qi Zhiqiang was indeed It is easy to win the favor of others.
Although Wang Zhong couldn't find someone like Qi Zhiqiang, he had to say that someone like Qi Zhiqiang had really great personality charm.
When Qi Weiyi and Qi Xiaoya saw Wang Zhong coming, they also greeted others one after another, followed by Yi Cheng and others who called them uncle. Wang Zhong nodded in response and looked at Qi Zhiqiang, who was lying quietly on the bed with a smile on his face. My heart was also touched.
"His second aunt! When did it happen?"
"After lunch today, he said he was tired and wanted to go home and take a nap, so I helped him back home and helped him lie down. After staying in the store for a while, I suddenly felt uneasy and always felt like I was lost. It was like something, and I saw that it was past two o'clock and he still hadn't come, so I quickly closed the store and came back to take a look. I didn't expect...I didn't expect..."
The more Wei Shufen talked, the sadder she became. Her tears couldn't stop pouring out, and she cried as she talked.
"Mom (Second Aunt)! Stop crying!" Qi Xiaoya, Sanli, and Simei gathered around Wei Shufen, shedding tears as well, trying to persuade them, but they themselves couldn't help it, let alone Wei Shufen. .
For a moment, the four women lay beside the window, crying together.
After a while, Qi Weimin came back, and the funeral home was contacted. With great difficulty, everyone persuaded Wei Shufen to sit in the living room, tidying up Qi Zhiqiang's appearance and arranging funeral arrangements.
By the time everything was done, it was already two days later.
The two families were still shrouded in sorrow, and the children were doing better. Wei Shufen was crying every day, and her heart was broken. , for fear that something would happen to Wei Shufen.
Simei was completely stunned and didn't leave the door. She hugged pillows at home, sat on the sofa, and didn't watch the TV. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Qiqi was very sad. She didn't cry in front of everyone during the day, but she couldn't help but cry several times when she was hiding in her room alone at night.
Wen Ju'an and Wen Qinghua also attended Qi Zhiqiang's funeral. Most of the others were relatives and colleagues from the Qi family. Seeing that Wang Zhong was in a low mood, Wen Qinghua offered to let Wang Zhong rest for two days.
Unexpectedly, Wen Juan ran over.
"You don't go to work at the magazine, so why did you come to my house? Sanli isn't at home?" Wang Zhong looked at Wen Ju'an up and down and said with some suspicion.
But Wen Ju'an said matter-of-factly: "I'm your assistant. If you're not at the magazine, I can't just go and sit here. I have to be worthy of the salary offered to me by the magazine and fulfill my responsibilities as an assistant." and obligations.”
Seeing the girl talking nonsense seriously, Wang Zhong suddenly felt that this girl was a little more cute.
The discomfort in my heart caused by Qi Zhiqiang's death also drifted away unknowingly.
At this time, Wang Zhong noticed that the once naive and innocent eighteen-year-old girl had now become a tall and graceful girl.
"Eccentric!" Wang Zhong shook his head and said, "I just want to go out to buy groceries. If you don't mind leaving, let's go together!"
"It's not difficult to leave!" Wen Ju'an immediately stepped forward excitedly and took Wang Zhong's hand.
"You're such an old girl, please be careful about the impact. People may misunderstand you if you see her. It's not good for your reputation." Wang Zhong said.
"It's a misunderstanding!" Wen Ju'an's pretty face was slightly hot, but he pretended to be indifferent.
How could such a childish attitude escape the eyes of a love expert like Wang Zhong.
"Girl, you don't like me, do you?" Wang Zhong asked deliberately after leaving the door.
As soon as these words came out, Wen Ju'an's body froze. The hand holding Wang Zhong's arm became stronger. His mind went blank. He turned to look at Wang Zhong next to him and saw that he was also looking at him. The eyes are dark and bright, but very clear.
"If I say I like you, will you be with me?" As if by mistake, Wen Ju'an suddenly asked this question.
"I don't know! Maybe I will advise you to think about it again!" Wang Zhong turned his head and stopped staring at Wen Ju'an. The girl was thin-skinned. When she said what she just said, her beautiful face was already gone. There were two blushes on his face. Wang Zhong knew without touching it that Wen Ju'an's face was definitely very hot at the moment.
Because Wang Zhong could clearly feel the unnaturalness of the hand holding his arm and the body of the owner of that hand.
"Ah?" Wen Ju'an was stunned for a moment. She had thought that Wang Zhong might refuse, but this answer was something she had never expected: "Why do you want to persuade me to think about it again?"
Although he was shy and blushing, looking at that face that was not particularly handsome but was extremely resolute, Wen Ju'an couldn't help but want to know the answer.
"The me you think and the real me are actually two people. I'm not as good as you think. You like me. I think it's just because I helped you with your father's matter. You treat me badly." It’s not that I like it, it’s that I’m grateful.”
"No!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Ju'an retorted: "I like you, not because you helped me, but because I like to be by your side, I want to stay by your side, and I want to be Your wife wants to have children with you, and wants to be with you forever..."
Wang Zhong stopped, and the rest of Wen Ju'an's words also came to an abrupt end with this stop.
Wang Zhong turned around again, looked down at Wen Ju'an, who was half a head shorter than himself, and said calmly: "You are only in your twenties, you know what a lifetime is."
"Is it because of Ma Suqin?" Wen Ju'an raised his eyes and looked at Wang Zhong, with tears shining in his eyes, but his tone was filled with unwillingness and stubbornness.
"No!" Wang Zhong said: "I just want to tell you that if you like this thing, the shelf life is very short. It is impossible to live a lifetime by liking it."
Wen Ju'an was silent for a while, but still refused to let go of Wang Zhong's arm. The two continued to walk forward. After a while, Wen Ju'an asked: "Then do you like Ma Suqin?"
"Maybe!" Wang Zhong said with a bit of emotion in his tone: "She and I have been together for seven or eight years. Even if it is a stone, it is time to warm it up, let alone a human being. I have already mentioned it to her. She wanted to get married, but because of her divorce, she couldn’t let go and refused to agree.”
Wang Zhong once thought about using children to help Ma Suqin, but Ma Suqin has always been unwilling to have children. Wang Zhong refused to take precautions, so she bought birth control pills by herself. Wang Zhong was also helpless about this.
"If she is still unwilling, are you just going to keep waiting?"
Wang Zhong answered the question incorrectly: "Actually, whether we get married or not is not that important to me. Even if I live alone for the rest of my life, there is nothing wrong with it..."
"What if I am also willing to wait for you forever?" Wang Zhong was interrupted by Wen Ju'an before he could finish his words.
Wang Zhong didn't know how to answer. After experiencing so many dungeon worlds and being used to those people in later generations who were dissolute, indulgent and driven by desire, Wang Zhong felt that a simple person like Wen Ju'an was so cute and charming.
I think of Wen Ju'an's final ending in the original work. She went against her mother and married a middle-aged man who was much older than her. She suffered from domestic violence, being cheated on and many other misfortunes. The rest of her life was very miserable.
"I am a cold and indifferent person. I don't know what it is. I don't believe in the unwavering love that people talk about, and I have never had any expectations. If you want to get love from me, I advise you. It's better to turn back as soon as possible." Wang Zhong remained calm.
"Do you hate me?" After a moment of silence, Wen Ju'an asked again.
Wang Zhong said: "I don't hate it."
"Then do you think I'm beautiful?" Wen Ju'an asked again.
Wang Zhong nodded and said: "Very beautiful." Wen Ju'an inherited his mother's genes and was born extremely beautiful, even compared to the three beauties and the four beauties.
"Then do you like it?" Wen Ju'an suddenly came closer and asked.
Wang Zhong was silent for a while and said: "I like it, but it's not a love between men and women."
A smile appeared on Wen Ju'an's face, and the corners of his mouth raised upwards. His sweet face, coupled with his sweet smile, increased his lethality several times, and his eyebrows also curved into crescent moons: "You like me , I like you too, isn’t that enough?”
"You are misinterpreting my meaning." Wang Zhong said: "Besides, there is Ma Suqin between you and me."
Wen Ju'an said: "I heard from Sanli that Ma Suqin has been staying at the garment factory for more than a year, and rarely goes home. Even if she comes back, she stays for two days and then leaves. "
With traitors like Sanli and Simei here, there is no way he can hide his affairs from this girl.
"Ju'an, you are still young, don't be so hasty to draw conclusions. The reason why you think you like me now is because you haven't met the one who makes your heart beat yet. Wait until you do..."
"I've already touched it!"
Looking at Wen Ju'an's determined expression and facing that determined gaze, Wang Zhong stopped, turned around and looked at Wen Ju'an, and sighed helplessly: "Does it have to be me?"
"You have to do it!" Wen Ju'an met Wang Zhong's gaze and said resolutely.
Wang Zhong asked again: "Don't you regret it?"
Wen Ju'an's tone remained firm: "I believe in my vision! I will never regret it."
