His Canary
I fear you (nine)
The temperature on Dong Ci's face rose a bit, and she quickly took her hand off his arm. When she just wanted to let him go, she felt that there were several girls around her looking at her with unsightly eyes.
"Yes."
Dong Ci changed her mind. She stood up from the seat and muttered."I will go with you."
Although she hates scenery, she doesn't want to stay alone in this inexplicable atmosphere. Here, the only person she can rely on is him.
"So sticky to me?"
Jing Rong laughed, knowing for what reason she still distorted her words into another meaning, and dragged her out of the public eye.
"I should go back."
As soon as he went out, Dong Ci withdrew his hand from him.She glanced at the time on her phone, and there was a little more anxiety between her eyebrows.
Jing Rong touched his chin, but did not stop her, but suddenly asked again."What are you going to do to find a store?"
"Don't tell you!"
"Will you not tell me even if I can help you?"
Dong Ciweilen then twisted his face and said coldly."No need for your help."
She was not close relatives to him, not even friends.Because Dong Ci is already very against him, how can he believe that he will help himself?
Even if he really wanted to help, Dong Ci didn't think he was out of kindness.
...
When Dong Ci returned home, Ci Ma had already prepared dinner.She glanced at Mom's face and carefully sat next to her, shaking her sleeve coquettishly."Mom, are you still angry?"
"Sorry, I was wrong. I promise I won't do that again next time."
Ci Ma's expression was a little loose, she put her hand on Dong Ci's arm, she seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she only looked at her deeply, and her words turned into a deep sigh.
"mom--"
In Dong Ci's memory, Ci Ma is a very gentle person. She has never beaten her since childhood, even if she made mistakes every time, she patiently educated her.It's like never feeling sullen for two days without paying attention to her situation.
It can be seen without thinking that this time Mommy is really angry.
"Dine, the dishes are going to be cold."
The mother didn't say anything in the end, but the sorrow in her eyes couldn't go away.Dong Ci looked sad and couldn't help but twitch."Mom, several shops in Chengzhong District have recently been transferred. The location is very good and the price is also very suitable. I will go over with them in the next few days and talk to them. If I can, I will take you with you, OK."
Ci Ma frowned and said a little bit tough."Xiaoci, I've been looking for a new job in a few days, and you shouldn't be thinking about opening a store anymore. I won't spend the money on it."
"mom."
"Okay, eat."
At some point, Ci Ma is always stubborn.
As long as it was her decision, anyone said she would not listen.Dong Ci remembered the decorative sketches on the paper that Ci Ma once painted on paper, and his heart was sore.Dad left with his regrets, and now, the living mother is also unable to fulfill her wish.
These kind moms didn't say it, but Dong Ci knew it.
Early the next morning, Ci Ma went out to find a job. Dong Ci previewed the contents of the third year of high school at home and started to clean up the hygiene at home.
She didn't know that Momma had the habit of keeping a diary, so when she helped her to make the bed and saw the black notebook, she opened it directly:
XX, XX, XX, XX.
Dong Chengkang really left ...
I tried hard to persuade myself that this was just a dream, but the apron stained with blood awakened me.
This is a never ending nightmare.
Dong Chengkang, this is the return gift you said?
XX XX XX XX
I have never been able to relieve the fact that you left, washing my face with tears all day and facing a collapse.
At this moment, Xiaoci took my hand, she said."Mom, Xiaoci will obediently obey in the future, and Xiaoci will walk his unfinished path for Dad in the future. Will you cheer up and accompany me?"
I suddenly realized that your departure was not my sorrow, and Xiaoci.
Yes, I want to cheer up, I want to live a good life for you and Xiaoci.
...
XX, XX, XX, XX.
Today the supervisor said, "Aren't you just a widow, pretending to be chaste and pure."
Do you know Dong Chengkang?The supervisor wanted me to be his mistress. He said that as long as I followed him, I would not have to worry about money in the future.
I rejected him fiercely and even wanted to resign and leave.
But when I calmed down, I hesitated ...
I can leave very smartly, but we still have our children behind me.She was so young, she had n’t finished high school, and now it ’s time to spend money ...
It turned out that people can endure all kinds of things for life.
XX XX XX XX
I was fired.
In fact, think about it and know how a child as clever as Xiaoci could hit the supervisor for no reason?What the supervisor said, I can imagine through Xiaoci's red eyes.
At that moment I was angry and helpless. I hated myself for being useless. I was so angry that Xiaoci saw such an unbearable self!
See what I have become now, my pain, I still need Xiaoci to share it for me!
These days, the mood is particularly depressed, Xiaoci always thought I was angry with her.
how can that be possible?Child, in fact, I am angry with myself, and I feel that I have no face to face you.
XX XX XX XX
Xiaoci said he wanted to help me open a restaurant, which made my original boring heart come alive again, and in a trance, I remember Cheng Kang when you were still ...
That was my dream, but as you left, everything was broken.
Xiaoci, my mother is old.The dreams when I was young are also terrible.I just hope you can grow up healthy, safe and happy.
"..."
This diary was written only after Dad's father left. The thick note has been used for most of it, and it is full of sad notes.There are even many places that have been puckered because of repeated soaking in tears.
Dong Ci wiped away the tears on her face, she suppressed the sadness in her heart, and carefully put the book back.If it weren't for accidentally turning to this diary today, she would never know that Mommy had so much pain alone.
This seems to be the case in this world, whether it is right or wrong, never sympathizing with how hard you are.
When it was cruel, it never showed mercy.
Dong Cineng felt how much Ci Ma wanted to fulfill her dreams when she was young. She pulled open the drawer beside the bed, and the sketches in it were still neatly arranged inside, just like in those days.
Her thoughts, which had already been suppressed, came up again. She hesitated, and finally called Shi Ze.
She thought, what should she do for the kind mother.Even if it fails, there will be no regrets.
What's more, she has confidence in the mother's cooking skills. She doesn't believe that with the mother's craftsmanship, there will be no customers at her restaurant.
Shi Ze has always been smarter than her, and his mother is also running a shop, so when choosing a shop, Dong Ci still asked him for help. The two men made an appointment and came out together.
It's still cold outside, but maybe it's because the Chinese New Year is coming, the streets are very lively, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time.
"The location of your store is not in a prime location on the block, there is not much passenger flow, and the decoration in the store is old, and you can't accept it at such a high price."
Sometimes, it's easier to manage things.Dong Ci sat next to Shi Ze and listened carefully to his conversation with the shopkeeper. From time to time, he marked some useful information on the book.
There is not much money that Ci Ma can come up with, and there are many things facing the first time to open the store. Dong Ci dare not make generous efforts easily and can only take every step carefully.
"Can't you pay the monthly rent?"
Dong Ci couldn't help but insert a sentence. She thought about it and said."Let ’s rent it for a month and try it. If it ’s true that you can make a profit without losing money, we will continue for half a year ..."
She thought that she had a good idea, but when she looked up to see Shi Ze's face, her voice suddenly fell a lot.
Did she say something wrong?
"Little girl, this is a store transfer, not a store rent. Could you please see clearly and come again?" The owner looked at Dong Ci like a fool and said with some sarcasm."Don't say that I am a store transfer, even if I really rent a store, there is no business like you!"
"..."
In fact, in the following days, Dong Ci really found the shop owner who agreed with her this way.
According to the boss's words, this shop is idle and idle, rented to earn one month's rent is also earned, and two months' rent is also earned, so there is no objection to Dong Ci's proposal.
Dong Ci thought that she had picked up a big bargain, but what she didn't know was that the shop's real owner was Jingrong.
The location of the store is not a prime location in the block, but the environment is not bad.The store is empty, without any renovation, not even tables and chairs.
"Mom, let's try it for a month, okay? If it's really inappropriate, we won't do it."
Dong Ci finally persuaded her mother to come to the store. For security reasons, she also brought Shi Ze and his mother Mu Fang.Under the repeated offensive of several people, Ci Ma finally relieved.So several people finalized and opened the store in the year.
A big stone in my heart finally fell. As the taste of the year grew, Dong Ci's smile on the face increased, until she received a strange call.
After receiving Jingrong's call, Dong Ci's first reaction was to hang up.She moved her hand to the hang-up key, and just wanted to click, but stopped after hearing what he said.
"Xiaoci, the final results are ranked, do you not want to know if you are in the top 30?"
What he didn't think about was so ruthlessly turned over by him, Dong Ci's heartbeat began to speed up, she put the phone to her ear again, asked with a steady breath."You know my rank?"
Across the phone, Jing Rong's voice was much lower than before. He smiled in a low voice and said slowly."Xiaoci, I'm afraid you will cry when you know the result."
