Fall out

【9】

Gradually, Jiang Tingda and Yu Fu entered middle age, and Jiang Tingda's son also entered junior high school.

Jiang Tingda advised Jiang Quan many times to stay at home peacefully and enjoy the happiness of life, but he just couldn't stay idle. As a result, he suffered a cerebral infarction when he was working in the field, and even broke his leg. He couldn't go out at all. .

As the relationship between Jiang Tingda and Yu Fu became more and more stable, the quarrels between the former and Gao Ji became more and more frequent, and the conflicts became deeper and deeper.Jiang Tingda didn't want to quarrel with her, but Yu Fu suddenly had a high fever that day, so he had to ask Gao Ji to go to the hospital to take care of his father. A quarrel caused a tantrum, and she sat firmly on the chair with her buttocks, and then crossed her arms with a sulky face, as if no one could do anything to her.

After all these years of marriage, Jiang Tingda has never touched a finger of Gao Ji, but today because of the old man, he seems to have released all the anger he has accumulated for many years at once, and without saying a word, he shines on her face. Slapped down hard.

A few strands of Gao Wen's originally meticulous hair hung down, the left side of her face turned red immediately, and blood oozes from the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Tingda was about to go out angrily, but he saw Gao Ji raised his head, his eyes were staring viciously under his messy hair, and he said something that Jiang Tingda couldn't think of anyway: "Fox tail finally It's exposed... Do you think you raise a man outside, I don't know? Do you think I, Gao Ji, am a fool? Who the hell do you think is the credit for sitting in this position now?!" Gao Ji is not that kind of gentle Woman, but she always has her own confidence, even if she throws face at others, she has always been calm and unhurried, and has never been as embarrassed as she is today: "I have been with you for so many years, and when something happens, my stomach hurts so much that I can't help but die." I didn't hear you say a word of heartfelt words. But now, the child is so old, but you are so angry with me because of that shameless man - don't think I don't know, the call just now was from the village committee Someone beat him, saying that the vixen was sick, that's why you rushed there in such a hurry!"

Jiang Tingda heard a "buzz" in his head, as if he had been slapped in the face, as if he had been stripped naked and stood under the sun in an instant. There was no part of his body that was not tense, and he even couldn't stop shaking.

"Do you really want to ask me how I know?" Gao Ji sneered, and raised his hand to wipe the blood on the corner of his mouth. "Man, I am stupid, but others are watching with their eyes open! Who do you think is helping you with your messy affairs? I ask you, Chairman Zhang, to restrain yourself even if you are not idle! Don't you What more face do I need!" At the end of the sentence, Gao Ji's eyes were filled with tears, his bloodshot eyes were opened with resentment, and his voice became hoarse at the end of his shout.

Jiang Tingda gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, feeling dizzy in an instant, which made his center of gravity unsteady, and he couldn't help but staggered backwards.

He reached out to hold the door frame, panting heavily.It didn't take long before he felt breathless, as if he couldn't stay in this room for another second—so he swallowed hard, and ran out staggeringly, leaving a fugitive in Gao Ji's eyes. back view.

Since this start, bad luck has come to him one after another, almost destroying Jiang Tingda.

Jiang Quan heard some gossip from somewhere, and suddenly became so angry that his condition deteriorated sharply, and he went into the coffin early a few days ago.

And the south, which was originally the largest exporter of their village's fruit products, gradually eliminated this source of goods that had been almost stagnant for a long time due to its rapid development. The backlog was stored in the villagers' own yards, resulting in heavy losses, and many families even lost everything.

The situation did not improve for a long time, and the villagers united to smash and protest at the gate of the village committee.At this time, someone in the crowd yelled, "You guys don't know yet, the village committee chairman and deputy village head who received a thousand knives are gay!" There are countless people who want to burn or shoot this pair of "dog men and men".

It just so happened that Jiang Tingda and Yu Fudu went out to run errands that day, and as soon as they turned back to the county seat, they heard from the old man who didn't get involved in the trouble that a large group of people had rushed to the village committee, and they looked like they were going to eat people.Jiang Tingda understood immediately, and couldn't help but be surprised.Since most of the bus drivers were familiar faces, he hailed a taxi and went to the neighboring county first, and then took Yu Fu to another city by train without any delay.

As soon as Yu Fu settled down, Jiang Tingda wanted to go back again.

Yu Fu became anxious, saying that it would be strange if you didn't get skinned alive when you go back now.

Jiang Tingda smoked in silence and said he had to go.He had to give them a clear explanation.

Yu Fu angrily scolded him for being a hero, saying that now is the cusp of the storm and no one listens to him.Furthermore, survival of the fittest is the law of the market. If this is not the case, we can only find another way to find another way of life. What does this have to do with him? How can he afford the hard-earned money of the villagers if he wants to take responsibility alone?

Not wanting to go through so many things, Jiang Tingda was tired, and finally learned to sit down and reflect on his life.

It's not wrong for him to like Yu Fu, and it's not wrong for him to decide to marry a wife when he doesn't know that Yu Fu will come back.

The mistake is that he shouldn't be greedy, and shouldn't try to possess both at the same time.What's more, it shouldn't be that after Fu came back, he made mistakes again and again, hurting Gao Ji for so long, and he still didn't wake up until he got to where he is today.

"Then I'll go back with you. Planting fruit forests was proposed by me, and no matter how I count it, it can only be counted on my head."

Before Yu Fu finished speaking, Jiang Tingda ordered him to stop: "I haven't done many serious things in my life, and I have ruined a girl's life. This sin can't be washed away. Now that my father is dead, my wife and children are afraid. I can’t keep it anymore—I only have you. If you have any troubles, why am I still alive.”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Tingda got on the return train that night and drove back to the village committee at night.If it weren't for a few sensible people who stopped him, he would have been surrounded and beaten to death.

Later, Jiang Tingda was dismissed from office, and all his property was confiscated. Gao Ji disappeared with his children after he left, and has not been seen since.

Although he apologized in front of the villagers for the matter of Guolin, the anger of the people could not be dispelled. In addition, someone grabbed him and Yu Fu's affairs, so he ended up like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him.

After a long time, when people talk about this matter again, they still inevitably show contempt and resentment on their faces, just like Tai Chi has a momentum, and the tone is set before starting to talk.

Some people said that Jiang Tingda's family was ruined, his wife, children and "boyfriend" all ran away, and finally became a beggar, and no one was willing to reward him with food, so he starved to death in some lonely graveyard.

Others said that he was beaten into a disability on the day he returned, and Yu Fu rushed to pick him up one day, but the aftermath was unknown.

Many years later, one evening, a gray-haired old man was sitting on a park bench with a tape recorder beside him, singing old French songs that seemed to contain infinite affection.

People passing by couldn't help but slow down and listen to a few words, then they would notice that the old man was humming softly along with his eyes closed, his right hand was on his thigh and he was patting up and down, apparently deeply immersed in it.

It's just that no one could notice that he was holding a black-and-white photo in his closed left hand. The person in the picture was sitting in a big armchair with a white tea mug in his hands, and smiled when he pressed the shutter.

It was dog days at this time, and the night was cool. The old man rubbed his arms while sitting, and soon picked up the tape recorder and went home.

In the twilight, he walked slowly on the street.The tune in his mouth didn't stop, but no one listened anymore.

If you are not here, if you are not here.

END.
