Zhang Xuan saw that Mai’s scarred face was calm, but there were many complex colors in the bottom of his eyes.
The vegetable stall in front of Mai was kicked over, and the forty-year-old woman turned her head and strode away. Beside this woman, she followed a fifteen or six-year-old girl who was forcibly pulled away by the woman.
When the woman left, three young men staggered to the food stall in Mai, squatted down and looked at the sprinkled vegetable leaves. One of them was wearing a vest and had stout limbs and sneered in Mai. Said: “Old stuff, your dishes are not fresh. Selling vegetables here, isn’t it smashing my signature, so that I can do anything in the future. Hurry up and pay me two or three thousand yuan, or you will get rid of me in the future.”
Mai looked at the vegetable leaves on the ground and said calmly: “My food is very good, but it just fell to the ground and rotten.”
“Snapped”
Mai’s words were still not finished, the young man suddenly slapped Mai’s face.
Today’s Mai is nothing more than an ordinary person, and was slapped to the ground by this strong young man.
“Bah” The robust young man spit out, “Old man, I said that your food is not good, but you are not good. Losing money, I heard that there is no such thing.”
Mai shook her head slightly, “There is no problem with my food.”
“It’s still hard.” The strong young man raised his eyebrows, waved his arm, and slapped Mai again.
“Enough, you really bear the heart to start with such an old man.”
Zhang Xuan’s voice sounded, and he squeezed the young man’s wrist and threw out three thousand yuan, “The money is here, don’t make trouble, get out.”
The young man was going to explode, but when he saw Zhang Xuan throwing the money, he didn’t say a word, picked up the money and left.
Zhang Xuan didn’t bother to care about these young people, and one more thing, he had cleaned up these young people now, and it was Mai who was unlucky when he left.
When Mai saw Zhang Xuan, her expression did not change much.
Zhang Xuan bent down to help Mai clean up the mess in front of him.
“How did you think of coming to me?” Mai was not surprised that Zhang Xuan could find it. She is just an ordinary person now. It can be said that if someone wants to find out about herself, her every move can’t escape the other’s eyes.
“I’m going to a place, I may not be able to come back, come and see you.” Zhang Xuan lifted the dish rack that was kicked over, and then said, “It seems that you haven’t been so happy. Find a place. , Eat something and talk.”
“Yes, but I have to put the stall away first.” Mai replied.
Half an hour later, Zhang Xuan was pushing a small cart, slowing down the leaves of the cabbage, and came to a simple earthen house. This earthen house really only appeared twenty years ago and is rarely seen now. The room was very small, there was no electricity in it, and kerosene lamps were used. A bed made of wooden planks occupies most of the space in the house, and a sackcloth was placed on the head of the bed.
The rooms are small and shabby, but spotlessly clean.
Mai carefully locked the door of the room that was not anti-theft, “Let’s go, you buy me a drink, I don’t have any spare money.”
“Okay.” Zhang Xuan shrugged.
Zhang Xuan and Mai came to an ordinary food stall and ordered two bottles of liquor.
“Although it’s not as good as your own brew, let’s just drink it.” Zhang Xuan poured the wine on Mai.
Mai showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and then raised the wine glass.
After the two clinked their glasses, they drank them all in one fell swoop.
“You said you were going to a place before” Mai looked at Zhang Xuan suspiciously.
“Yeah.” Zhang Xuan nodded, “It has something to do with the thing guarded by the uncle.”
Mai shook her body, “You mean”
Mai has followed Chu Zheng for so many years, and he understands some things more or less.
“My wife is there, I have to go.” Zhang Xuan replied.
“You know how to get there”
“The Returning Alliance knows.”
“These bastards” Mai slapped the table with a slap, extremely angry.
The people around the table all cast their gazes.
Mai realized her gaffe, adjusted her emotions, and then whispered: “It turns out that the purpose of those people is that.”
“It’s understandable.” Zhang Xuan poured the wine again. “Able people have lofty ideals that are different from ordinary people. Compared with them, you and I are just a salted fish. Don’t talk about me, just talk about you. For so many years, although you have not deliberately made money, you shouldn’t end up making a living by setting up a street stall. If you still live there, you should not have such a bad taste.”
Mai laughed mockingly to herself, “If there is a normal house to live in, I don’t want to live there, but, hey, let’s not talk, let’s not talk, drink the bar.”
Mai shook her head and held up the wine glass.
Zhang Xuan didn’t want to say anything more when he saw that Mai didn’t want to say anything, so he asked carefully.
As soon as the two clinked their glasses, they heard a sound from the side.
“Mom, look, it’s the old grandfather.”
Zhang Xuan noticed that Mai’s expression changed greatly the moment he heard the voice.
Zhang Xuan looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw that the middle-aged woman in her forties today walked into this food stall with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. It was the girl who had just made the sound.
When the woman saw Mai, her expression of disgust, pulled the girl and turned away.
When Mai saw this, she subconsciously wanted to catch up.
“Okay.” Zhang Xuan held Zhang Xuan, “As the other party treats you now, it is not useful for you to catch up. Let’s talk about the situation, don’t hide it in your heart, maybe I can help you, you know, I don’t have many friends. I may not come back this time. If I don’t help you, I may not be able to help you in my life.”
Mai was stunned for a few seconds before sitting down again, showing a wry smile at Zhang Xuan, and then slowly said, “I had a daughter a long time ago.”
“I haven’t heard you mention it.” Zhang Xuan drank the wine in the glass.
Mai also drank a few cups in a row, and then continued: “How did I meet her, to be precise, how did I meet the woman who gave birth to me, I and her, but only met a few times. At that time, she was very poor, she had no place to live, and could not afford to eat. She said that as long as I gave her money, she could do anything. I agreed. I gave her all the money in my body. Huge money, I found her a place to live, and what I asked of her was to leave me a post.”
Zhang Xuanzheng spoke and listened to Mai quietly.
“I have no relationship basis with her. After knowing that she was pregnant, I left. On the day the child was born, I went to see her. It was a girl. I left her with an address and she would send me the child’s growth experience. , I almost never met her. She passed away eight years ago. I didn’t show up on the day she left. However, she kept the promise and told our children and my existence.”
