Late night is lonely, lonely, and quiet.
The white street lights look cold, and the unknown black in the distance makes people feel scared.
Several bicycles were speeding and chasing, as if the last child was a little scared. At the intersection of
, Zhang Yang was holding a cigarette and waiting there. It was late autumn and the night was particularly cool.
Bicycle stopped in front of Zhang Yang, and the classmate who was leaving was still saying goodbye to him. Zhang Xiaotong responded loudly and looked at her father with a smile.
"Dad, I'm in my second year of high school. I'm growing up. Besides, I'm a boy, so I don't have to come out to pick me up at night."
Zhang Yang shook his head and smoked his cigarette.
"One is here to pick you up, and the other is that you can smoke a cigarette when you come out." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
The father and son smiled and walked into the community. However, Zhang Xiaotong felt particularly at ease every time she walked here, and the dense forest ahead was not that scary.
"Where is my mom, are you sleeping?" Zhang Xiaotong asked.
"No, I'm playing with my phone. Don't talk about my smoking when I go in." Zhang Yang instructed.
"Dad, do you think something is wrong with my mom? It's like..."
Before his son could say it, he was interrupted by Zhang Yang.
"Your mother is forty after all, she is old. Don't guess and worry about things," Zhang Yang said clearly.
Zhang Xiaotong pursed her lips and didn't say anything again.
...
Zhang Yang did not fall asleep after lying down. He listened to Lan Fang playing with his phone beside him and the other party typing. He knew that there was something wrong with their relationship, just as the child said but didn't say it.
Zhang Yang thought of many ways to make up for the rift, but Lan Fang always resisted. In her opinion, the relationship between the two was irreconcilable and there was no room for recovery.
Lan Fang’s meaning is very obvious, that is, to live together and maintain the bottom line.
The wind outside the window was howling, everything seemed to have changed, autumn leaves withered, and everything was silent.
Only the crescent moon maintains its original appearance, unchanging phases.
...
In the blink of an eye, this city ushered in its first snow. It was a romantic day. The snowflakes in the sky were falling, but they melted before they touched the ground, and disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Xiaotong rode her bike tonight particularly slowly.
The flying snowflakes made him unable to see the way forward.
is just the next moment. Zhang Xiaotong felt that the woman who had just walked with someone on the roadside seemed to be her mother.
He wanted to stop and take a look and make sure.
Just the shouts of classmates came from the front, and Zhang Xiaotong rode her bike to catch up again.
is still the intersection, and it is still under the street light. Zhang Yang is standing there waiting, but he does not have a cigarette in his hand tonight.
"Dad, the sun is coming out from the west, why don't you smoke today?" Zhang Xiaotong asked while riding on the bike.
"Your mother has gone to her parents' home, so you don't have to worry about that much tonight." Zhang Yang said.
After hearing this sentence, Zhang Xiaotong's heart skipped a beat.
She thought of that figure, and at this moment some of the thoughts in her heart became more confident.
father and son walked towards home silently, but this journey tonight seemed particularly long, and Zhang Xiaotong felt that there was a stone pressing on him in his heart.
Amid the snowflakes in the sky, Lan Fang walked with the man's arm in her arms, she looked cheerful and happy.
The man is Liangliang, a netizen she met a few days ago. She is almost thirty years old this year. The other party loves her so much that she loves her, and she also likes this younger brother very much.
"This walk tonight is a white-haired relationship with you." Lan Fang said.
"I don't want it, I want you to really spend the rest of your life with me. I love you, I like you." Liangliang hugged Lan Fang in his arms and kissed her affectionately.
This time, Lan Fang's long-suppressed emotions were released, and she was ignited by this love.
The neon signs in the distance are flashing, and it is the closest hotel to it.
At this time, Lan Fang gave up the ethics and morals he insisted on, exiled herself to pursue love.
Since this day, every Friday, Lan Fang will make excuses to go out, either to her parents' home or to her aunt's house. In short, all the relatives have almost gone around.
and Zhang Xiaotong also wrote down this rule.
Every Friday night, he is almost late, and Zhang Yang always has to wait there for an extra hour and a half.
just Zhang Yang did not complain or blame, he silently gave his love to his son.
That night, Zhang Xiaotong rode his bike around, and finally he saw that scene, his mother Lan Fang was walking with someone.
He followed quietly to see what his mother was going to do.
Seeing the scene of his mother entering the hotel at the end, Zhang Xiaotong began to doubt his life. He kicked his bicycle over and tore the book apart and scattered it into the air. It looked particularly strange at night, as if he was paying homage to his mother.
Zhang Xiaotong saw the house in the middle of the fifth floor of the building light up. He was sure that his mother abandoned the home and betrayed his father.
He was very depressed and pushed the car back home. He probably felt that his father should go home on this winter night.
is just a corner, and the figure who looks no longer young and no longer stands there under the street light.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaotong swears that she will pay the price tomorrow, and that she will no longer be his mother tomorrow.
The next morning, Zhang Yang went to work, and Zhang Xiaotong deliberately chose to be late. When leaving home, Zhang Xiaotong took the cell phone he had never brought to school, and called his mother, saying that his grandparents were going to come to the house.
At the same time, he called his grandparents, saying that he fell down and couldn't move, his father went to work, and his mother went to transfer relatives but did not come back.
The two elders immediately started to clean up when they heard this, and then their grandfather picked up the car keys and walked downstairs.
Zhang Xiaotong came to the hotel door as fast as possible, then pretended to fall and sat on the ground.
At this time, Zhang Xiaotong took out her mobile phone and called all the relatives she thought she could come on WeChat, with only one purpose, asking them to take them to the hospital.
After a while, grandparents arrived, aunt and uncle rushed over, and aunt and uncle were still on the way.
, and Lan Fang and Liangliang walked out of the hotel after receiving the call from the child. They planned to have breakfast and then look forward to meeting next time.
Everyone surrounded Zhang Xiaotong and wanted to take him to the hospital, but whenever someone touched him, he would scream in pain and said that he needed a rest first.
But his eyes didn't rest for a moment. He kept staring at the hotel door, waiting for the person who should appear there.
"Hey, isn't that my mother? Why did he come out from here? Didn't my uncle and my mother say he's going to your house? Alas, why is there a man around you?" Zhang Xiaotong said in surprise.
The next moment everyone's eyes looked at the hotel door.
Lan Fang also felt those gazes. When she looked up, she saw familiar faces.
Aunt stayed in place to take care of Zhang Xiaotong, and the others walked over and surrounded the two people who walked out of the hotel.
"You are smart, you are worthy of being my Zhang family. It's intentional, right? I'll take you to the hospital later, and you have to act in full." said the aunt squatting beside her.
At the door of the hotel, Zhang Xiaotong's uncle took the lead in attacking. He pressed Liangliang and beat him up. Then he asked, but Liangliang refused to say anything, and looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
The uncle walked to the base of the south wall and brought pieces of ice. Then he slowly stuffed it into Liangliang's collar. Finally, with the wailing begging for mercy, Liangliang explained everything truthfully and expressed his plans.
It turned out that he planned to cheat Lan Fang of divorce, and then take the property into his own hands after he got it, and then began to run away.
After hearing this, my grandfather slapped Lan Fang in the face. He said, "Uncle Yi is worthy of being a professional. He has recruited him so quickly. If we do something wrong first, you won't have to worry about it."
After hearing this, my uncle didn't stay much. He stood up and said, "Then I'll take Tongtong to the hospital first. You can deal with it here."
My uncle hugged Zhang Xiaotong into the car and kicked the accelerator and left.
Zhang Xiaotong was not sad at this time. He felt relieved, and the stone pressing on his heart disappeared.
At the entrance of the hotel, Lan Fang's relatives left one by one and also broke off relations with her one by one.
Only her mother squatted there and cried non-stop, and finally she asked as she tear Lan Fang's hair into a mad question.
"Why, why, a good home will ruin you, how Tongtong faces classmates, how to walk the road ahead. How do you let your dad and I live, where will we put our old face?"
Liangliang got up and limped away. I have to say that Zhang Xiaotong's uncle was really heavy.
Mother left, and in the end, only Lan Fang was left sitting there and smiling foolishly.
Zhang Xiaotong only found out what happened at noon. He looked at Zhang Xiaotong and said, "Don't let you get involved, just study hard, hey, then it's your mother."
Zhang Xiaotong laughed after hearing this. He knew that this was his father, kind, kind, and taking the overall situation into consideration.
But he also needs someone to stand up for him and let out his anger.
