Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Mom and Dad will be home in four days. …
Speaking of her biological mother, Fan Xiaorong looked sad: "After my parents divorced, I never saw her again, and I couldn't contact her. I went to my grandmother's house to ask, but my grandmother and my uncles and aunts also said there was no news about her."
She didn't know whether she should trust her grandmother's side. Maybe they didn't want her to go look for her mother again. Later, she rarely went there and didn't have much time to go.
Because when she gets home from school, in addition to doing homework, she also has to do housework, cooking, washing clothes for the whole family, feeding chickens, ducks, pigs, and herding cattle. These are all her jobs, and she has no extra time at all.
She was still young when her parents divorced, but her mother asked her if she wanted to go with her before she left.
She was ignorant at the time, and her grandmother coaxed her by saying that if she followed her mother, her mother would sell her after she married someone else.
By then she would be a child without a father or a mother. If she stayed at home, at least she would still have a father. She believed it and said she didn't want to leave.
After her father remarried, she was quickly forced to grow up, and only then did she realize what she had missed.
But will her life be better if she goes with her mother than staying in her hometown?
Fan Xiaorong herself doesn’t know the answer, but people always beautify the path they didn’t choose.
Whenever she felt wronged at home, she would always unconsciously fantasize that she had not chosen to stay, but chose to go with her mother and then live a good life.
But fantasy is just fantasy after all.
Zhao Ruyue didn’t know what Fan Xiaorong was thinking. She only knew that Fan Xiaorong urgently needed to escape from her current environment and self-destructive mentality.
After listening to Fan Xiaorong's words, she tried to make Fan Xiaorong look at the matter from another perspective: "Look, after your mother passed away, even you and your grandmother's family couldn't find her. If it were you, you could do it too."
Fan Xiaorong was startled: "Sister, what you mean is..."
Zhao Ruyue: "Since I feel that I can't go back to that factory, I might as well not go back. I'm worried that my family back home will know about those things. I can also stay away from my hometown and completely stay away from the environment that makes me uncomfortable.
You are outside now. If you don't want people to find you, they will definitely not be able to find you.
The country is so big and there are so many cities in the country. When you move to a new place, you will be surrounded by strangers. Once you lose contact with old people, who will the new people know about your past? ”
Fan Xiaorong was a little moved, but also a little hesitant: "But I'm going to a strange place alone..."
Zhao Ruyue raised her eyebrows: "You are not afraid of death, so why are you afraid of going to a strange place? Escaping is not shameful, it is also very useful!"
At least it is applicable to Fan Xiaorong now!
"Yes, I have died once." Fan Xiaorong felt her mind suddenly open. The worst that could happen was death. What was there to be afraid of?
She felt a little regretful now. She didn't have the courage when she was forced to do things she didn't want to do.
Zhao Ruyue saw her lowering her head and keeping silent, and thought she was still afraid.
He then said, "If you are really afraid of going to a strange city, then you can go to other districts in Pengcheng. You have been working in Pengcheng for nearly two years, working hard to earn money, and you haven't seen this city properly, right?
Pengcheng is so big and has several districts. Maybe once you leave the district where this factory is located, it will be no different from going to other cities. You blend into the crowd like a drop of water into the sea. As long as you want, you will never meet any acquaintances again. ”
In fact, Zhao Ruyue wanted to persuade Fan Xiaorong to cut off contact with the Fan family and stop sending money to that family of vampires.
But after thinking about it, I still feel that distance can't separate us.
She and Fan Xiaorong only met because of one thing, and she saved her by accident, but they were not real acquaintances. Some things could be said, but some things were inappropriate to say.
But if she didn't say it, Zhao Ruyue would always feel unhappy. Why should a young girl, not even an adult, go out to work and that family be waiting to enjoy the fruits of her labor?
She thought about it and thought of Fan Xiaorong's aunt. When she was listening to gossip in her previous life, she heard that Fan Xiaorong later left with her aunt.
The person who told her this also gossiped about her aunt's experience. The person also said that Fan Xiaorong's aunt also worked in an electronics factory in Yangcheng in recent years. It was so close to Pengcheng, but she couldn't keep an eye on her niece.
Zhao Ruyue just heard Fan Xiaorong say that she had not been in contact with her grandmother's family much in recent years, and felt that it was unfair for her aunt to be talked about in her previous life.
Just considering that her aunt was willing to take in Fan Xiaorong, who had such a bad reputation, despite the pressure of gossip in her previous life, she couldn't be that bad.
"I heard that your aunt works in Yangcheng. If you have her contact information, it would be nice to go find her. It would be easier to be bullied if you have an elder by your side."
Fan Xiaorong actually has her aunt's contact information: "Then I will try to contact my aunt. If I can get in touch with her, I will go to her place. When I find a new job and get paid, I will definitely pay back the medical expenses first."
After hearing this, Zhao Ruyue could finally rest assured. This girl could think about finding a new job in the future and would not do anything stupid again.
"You can pay me back anytime. I'm not in a hurry. You're a good girl. I believe you won't default on your debt."
It was rare for Fan Xiaorong to be praised, and just by being praised as a good girl, she felt both happy and a little embarrassed, and even her face turned red.
Zhao Ruyue sincerely hoped that she could contact her aunt. The closer she was to her mother's side of the family, the greater the chance that she would become more distant from her father's side in the future.
As Fan Xiaorong's relative, it would be more appropriate for her aunt to say some things. It would be best if she could persuade Fan Xiaorong to sever ties with the Fan family and stop supporting that family of vampires.
Thinking of severing ties, Zhao Ruyue thought of her daughter who had cut off contact with her in her previous life. Was she also regarded as a vampire by her daughter at that time?
She shouldn't be as cruel as the old Fan family, right?
Zhao Ruyue had complicated thoughts. After she persuaded Fan Xiaorong, she was in a bad mood when she left.
Ning Shaoming didn't know the reason, and thought she was worried about what Fan Xiaorong would do in the future:
"How about we go back and ask the landlord if we can let Fan Xiaorong work in his relative's factory? Didn't the landlord say that he has several relatives who own factories? They shouldn't all be in the same area, right?"
Zhao Ruyue shook her head: "Let's wait and see. Fan Xiaorong said to try to contact her aunt first. If she can get in touch with her aunt, she will go to Yangcheng. If she can't get in touch with her, she can do it later."
"Okay." Ning Shaoming would feel embarrassed to always ask the landlord for help.
I don’t know if Fan Xiaorong’s luck changed after experiencing a series of misfortunes.
A few days later, Zhao Ruyue received a letter from Fan Xiaorong from Yangcheng.
This was the first time Zhao Ruyue received a letter in Pengcheng, and she felt it was quite novel: "I was thinking that you would be free the day after tomorrow, so you could go over and see how she is doing."
Ning Shaoming also felt curious and asked, "What does the letter say?"
Zhao Ruyue told him while reading the letter: "Fan Xiaorong said in the letter that she is doing fine now. After we left that day, she borrowed the hospital's phone to contact her aunt. Her aunt took a leave of absence and rushed to the hospital the next day. They asked the doctor on the third day and confirmed that she could be discharged from the hospital. Then they went to the factory to pack up and resign.
Her aunt's family rented a house in Guangzhou. Fan Xiaorong stayed there to recuperate for a while, and after the Chinese New Year she would go to work in the electronics factory where her aunt worked.
She also apologized to me, saying that she didn't mean to leave without saying a word, but she was worried that someone would see her coming to see me before she left. If the Fan family knew that we were the last person she saw before she left, it would cause trouble for us. ”
Ning Shaoming didn't quite understand what he was saying. "What does this mean? She went to her aunt's house and didn't plan to let Old Fan and his wife know?"
Zhao Ruyue looked at the rest of the content and couldn't help but smile. She didn't explain what that meant to him, but continued to talk about the rest of the letter: "She said she would never go back to her hometown again, and she would never contact anyone there again."
Ning Shaoming understood without Zhao Ruyue's analysis: "Does this girl not want a family anymore?"
"Do you think that's still her home?"
Ning Shaoming sighed: "Old people often say that if there is a stepfather, there will be a stepmother. It's really true."
"It's good that she can think it through. After going through so much, it's good enough that she can live a good life in the future. She shouldn't care about that family." Zhao Ruyue handed the letter to him and let him take a look. After reading it, she folded it and put it away.
"I'll buy some letter paper and an envelope later and write back to Fan Xiaorong. She said she'll send me the medical expenses after she gets paid. I have to tell her that we won't come back when we return to our hometown."
Zhao Ruyue's things had been almost packed up. Everything that needed to be divided had been distributed, leaving only the quilts and pillows that they were still using.
Wu Li said she wanted all of them, and she would clean them up when they returned home. Now they didn't even have to make their beds.
Wu Li and Huang Wenfa returned to their hometown to celebrate the New Year later, and they could only return the day before New Year's Eve.
Ning Shaoming will complete the resignation procedures the day after tomorrow and officially resign, and will no longer have to go to work.
Two days later, they went to visit the factory with the landlord and bought some things together. Then they followed their fellow villagers who had returned earlier and chartered a car to go back.
Rongxi Town, Daqiao Street.
Early on Saturday morning, Ning Shixia came out with a bowl and saw her grandfather pick up the calendar under the wall clock.
She rushed over with the bowl in her arms: "Grandpa, let me do it! Let me tear it!"
Ning Da handed over the calendar with a smile on his face: "I'm just taking a look, I'm not going to tear it up."
"Humph, I don't believe it. My eldest brother said the same thing yesterday!" She believed it and ended up being fooled!
Ning Danping, who was living in the dormitory at junior high school, came back from school and asked curiously, "Why is Xiaoxia so obsessed with tearing calendars? Isn't folding stars popular in your school recently?"
Ning Shiqiu glanced at his sister who looked very satisfied after tearing off yesterday's calendar, and reluctantly explained to his cousin: "Ever since my parents promised to buy her a skateboard, she has been tearing off the calendar every day, counting the days until her parents come back."
Ning Shixia picked up the bowl again, shoveled some fried rice into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Mom and Dad will be back in four days, brother, can we pick them up at the highway rest area then?"
"No, you forgot. When Mom and Dad called back, they said they would charter a car with Xinyang's parents and drop them off directly at the door."
"Well, I don't know what time they will get home. What if they arrive at night and I fall asleep?"
"Don't worry about these useless things. Eat breakfast quickly and do your homework after eating," Ning Shiqiu said in a brotherly manner, "You are not allowed to go out and play, and you are not allowed to watch TV until you finish your homework!"
"I know, I know!" Ning Shixia had not finished speaking when he ran out with the bowl in his arms.
I ran to the neighbor's house next door who had turned on the TV, and sat on a small stool with my friends while watching TV and eating.
Before Ning Shiqiu could remind her to walk slowly with the bowl in her hand and not to run so fast, she had already disappeared.
I had no choice but to turn around and pick up the calendar that my sister had torn off and thrown on the table, fold it carefully, take it back to the room, and put it in my diary.
Then he took out a pen and carefully wrote a line of words on the page that contained yesterday's calendar:
January 10, 2004, the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, a Saturday, my parents still have four days before they can return home.
