You can't find a partner

(Small Theater) Uncomfortable ~ Month

The school in the city is good in every way except that it is too far from home. It is not good at all. If I were given another chance to choose, I would not want one so far away. If my parents had not warned me, I would be doing military training on the playground right now. I just had my stitches removed. If I had known, I would have had the surgery earlier. Now I miss home even more.

A strange city, a strange environment, strange classmates. I was not used to it. I cried a little every day and a lot every two days. I cried at school and my mother cried at home.

"Why don't you go and accompany him to study? How can the child study well at this rate? Don't waste the high school entrance exam results. It's not easy to get into such a good key school in the city." said Lan's father.

"I don't want it. I want to go home. I'll stay at home for two days and then come back. I don't want to accompany you to study." Qi Yue shouted into the phone in the dormitory.

There was no extra money at home to accompany my studies. If my mother came to accompany me, what would my father do? Who would cook for him? It was not easy for my parents to raise me, and they were not rich.

I cried like this for two years. Every time I came back from home, I cried so hard that my hands were scratched all over. I cried until I got a stitch in the side, and I was like a mental patient.

Okay, just be mentally ill first.

Every day Qiyue was away from home, in every corner she couldn't see, her mother administered the painkillers. She also found a job closer to home so she could take care of Dad. But now, Dad couldn't leave home alone, and he couldn't live without someone. Qiyue didn't know all this, only finding out later. It's because of these things that she still feels like an unfilial daughter.

"If there is an afterlife, would you still be willing to be my father? Perhaps not!"

Knowing that Qiyue had a class reunion in the evening, Qiyue’s six-year-old nephew, who loved to join in the fun, wanted to go along.

"I haven't decided whether to go or not, and I'm taking you with me. Why are you going?" Qi Yue was extremely upset at this time.

The nephew said firmly: "I will supervise you, you can't find a partner."

"Why can't I find a partner? I'll find one. I'll find one."

"No, no, my aunt can't find a partner, she can't." As she said this, she rolled on the ground.

"Nephew, nephew, you have been like this since childhood, and you are still like this now. Are you a stumbling block on my road to finding a partner?"

Everyone was amused and watching the fun. Qiyue's younger brother, Lan Damei, looked impatient. Indeed, Qiyue was in the same mood at the time. He had already upset his father, and now hearing the crying only made him even more upset.

"Niece, just take your nephew with you. Grandma, let me tell you, listen to your aunt and don't be naughty." The nephew's grandmother said happily.

Qi Yue looked at her sister, the mother of Qi Yue's little nephew, and gave her a look of deep affection. But she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and didn't understand her sister's distress signal at all.

Qi Yue was thinking at the time, "When did you come to your uncle? Before, you washed the dishes at your grandmother's house and my grandma's house. You always left after eating, and your aunts washed the dishes."

Just as Qiyue's mind was racing, thinking of how to express her refusal to go, Lan's father, Qiyue's eldest sister's uncle and Qiyue's nephew's great uncle, spoke up: "Just take him with you, and if he comes back late, he can stay at our house. Anyway, he doesn't care what time it is. As long as you are home, he is willing to be with you and not go home at night."

Qi Yue immediately changed her attitude: "I understand, Dad."

Qiyue, who knew she had made a mistake, would jump three feet high if her father talked to her. She would refuse, which was impossible. Qiyue, who didn't want to go, now wants to go. Qiyue likes the class reunion very much now. She is grateful for the class reunion today.

"Let's go, Big Tail."

"Well, auntie, wait for me for a moment, I'll wash my face." After saying that, she walked into the bathroom.

"You're just a crybaby, what dignity do you want? Do you even have dignity? Do you want me to expose your ugly childhood photos?"

Qi Yue looked at her brother who had remained silent the entire time and said, "Da Mei, let's go."

Lan Damei said coldly: "What are you doing? Where are you going?"

"Send it to your sister and nephew. You are so tall, why don't you walk around more? Are you waiting to get fat like a ball?"

Lan Damei's impatience was written all over her face. "I'll take you two there, but I'll take a taxi. I can't drive my dad's big van. Besides, I won't take your nephew there. He cries when he sees me and gets annoyed when he sees me. We're not compatible, so keep your distance."

Qi Yue suppressed the anger in her heart, controlled the strength in her hands, and patted Lan Damei on the shoulder: "Who will pick us up then?"

Lan Damei said firmly, "When it's over, tell me in advance and I'll have Uncle Wang pick you up. Just make sure you have the right time and send me a WeChat message."

"We'll see when the time comes. If we can run away early, we'll take a taxi back. It's a big holiday, so don't bother others all the time."

Looking back at her father, who was chatting and laughing with her aunts and uncles, Qiyue's heart finally settled down. Fortunately, she was not angry. This disease makes people afraid of anger. She was really impulsive just now. Qiyue, you still don't grow up.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I made you worry again."

Qi Yue took her nephew's hand and walked downstairs. "Nephew, you have to listen to me later. If you start making noise while we're playing, tell me you want to go home and let me take you home. Then we'll go and I'll buy you something delicious when we come out. Remember that? You have to look at my eyes and do what I say."

Qi Yue was also stupid at that time. Her nephew was a person in the crowd. How could he cry out of fear? How could he succumb to some small snacks? A person who loves to join in the fun would be afraid of crowds.

Of course, Qi Yue had never imagined that a child, a six-year-old child, would remember what happened that night and recount it clearly. To borrow a phrase from a comedian: "What a sin."

Years later, when you have grown up, you still remember him, just as he said: "You have grown up so much.

And many years later, he will still vaguely remember you, a strange "uncle".

Just like that, the big and the small walked in the corridor of the wealthy place. It was this familiar place again, but the configuration was different this time. Qi Yue brought helpers with her.

"Sergeant, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time. We thought you would not come." Jiang Yiheng said when he saw Qi Yue open the door.

Just when Qi Yue was happy that she didn't have to see someone, her eyes swept to the corner and she saw someone who was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar, and at the same time, so unfamiliar that he couldn't be more unfamiliar.

Enemies often meet again, but I don’t know if this saying can be applied here.

Tian Ming walked over and bent down: "Whose child is this? He's so pretty."

"Yes, apart from being good-looking, there's really nothing special about it. Nephew, please call me uncle or aunt."

"Don't worry, call me brother, I'm not old." Tian Ming said confidently.

"You are not old, but you are a generation behind."

As Qi Yue spoke, she walked to the center of the sofa and sat between Xiao Xiao and Fang Zhou.

At this moment, a child, without even waiting for his aunt to greet him, walked straight over and sat between Qi Yue and Fang Zhou, remaining extremely alert and cautious. When Fang Zhou greeted him, he blocked his way. When Fang Zhou invited him to eat, he didn't block his way. He took everything he could eat, and for anything he couldn't eat, he simply said, "My aunt doesn't like it."

"Oh my god, how much did I spend on this bodyguard? He even has a food tasting function! This move made the students present stunned and they kept calling this kid adorable."

Qi Yue looked around and saw that Fu Jia Tian Xia was still very grand. Not only was the decoration magnificent, but the purpose was also very straightforward: a KTV that wanted to make a lot of money.

After greeting each other, the initial awkwardness due to not seeing each other for a long time disappeared, and everyone became warm and friendly, chatting with each other.

It's been two years since July's last junior high reunion. It turns out that even if we haven't seen each other for a long time, as long as we're familiar with each other, we still have endless topics to talk about after we meet again. It's especially heartwarming. After all, these are the people we knew so well back then, so it's wonderful to see them again.

"Squad leader, it's been over a year since we last met, and you're still the same. You don't reply to my WeChat messages, and you don't answer my calls. If you don't know me, you might think you're deliberately missing every one of my calls and messages. Also, I changed my phone number before and called you. You finally answered, but you're so annoying. My heart is broken into pieces after it's gone cold."

Nearing graduation from their senior year, Lin Lei changed his phone number and called Qiyue. Qiyue recalled hearing she'd heard Lin Lei had a girlfriend and didn't want to get involved in other people's relationships. Furthermore, some other things had happened that had left her feeling down. So, no matter what Lin Lei said, Qiyue denied everything she could, rejected everything she could. In short, they were just ordinary classmates from then on, the kind that it was best for them to avoid any further contact.

"No way, you know, art students are busy and mentally unstable. Don't mind if I said something too much." His attitude was very sincere.

Lin Lei smiled, looking at the person in front of him, thinking: "As long as it's you, I don't care even if you tear off my roof, but, on the premise, don't hurt yourself. If necessary, I can do it myself."

"Come on, Sanshi, it's your turn for the song. Come on and sing on time." As he said that, Tian Ming handed the microphone to Lin Lei.

After Lin Lei finished singing a section, he looked in Qi Yue's direction. Qi Yue turned her head away uncomfortably, but who knew that Lin Lei came closer.

Qi Yue thought to herself, "I can fly into outer space with this tune. I won't lose this person."

Just when Qi Yue was about to get up and retreat, he handed the microphone to the only six-year-old child present, and gave Qi Yue a doting look.

Qi Yue thought that this person was probably mentally ill, and hurriedly said, "He is still young and can't sing. You guys sing it."

Unexpectedly, before Qi Yue finished speaking, a six-year-old child took the microphone, which really surprised Qi Yue, her aunt.

The child strode to the center of the private room and sang earnestly. He might have had trouble following along at times, but he didn't stray from the tune much. He was a child who had grown up with his older sister and brother-in-law, and had seen many big events. Qi Yue described her nephew as courageous and not afraid of the stage.

The scene that appeared in Qi Yue's eyes at this moment was a tall man standing behind a little child, swaying his body slightly, with a proud smile like an old father on his face, clapping and cheering from time to time.

When changing the song, he also ordered other songs for the little boy. He didn't seem like the person he had just met half an hour ago. Qi Yue was puzzled.

"My nephew hates boys the most, especially playing with boys. But today he didn't pester me to help him."

Qi Yue hurriedly stared at her nephew, fearing that something might go wrong. After all, this child was the apple of the family's eye. As long as he didn't do anything treasonous, he could call the wind and rain at will.

Maybe because he was tired from singing, he stopped singing and sat obediently next to Qi Yue. After all, he was still a child and did not have as much physical strength as an adult.

Qiyue told her nephew: "If you are tired, we will go home. You can tell your uncles and aunts and we will leave."

Naive Qi Yue, did she really think she could just walk out like this without any incident? Then was there any meaning to this meeting?
