Luohe County is a small county town. Xu Guochao and Zhang Xinhui opened a small flower shop in the county town. The business is neither good nor bad. It can't be said that they are very rich, but they can live on.
"Xinhui, do you think I should paint all the rooms at home? The wallpaper in Xiaowen's room is broken. I saw mold growing on the wallpaper in her room two days ago. It looks ugly. Otherwise, I might just tear it all up and scrape the room with white paint, what do you think?"
There was no business in the store in the afternoon that day. Xu Guochao sat on a chair, looked up at Zhang Xinhui who was doing the accounting behind the counter, and couldn't help but say something.
After hearing Xu Guochao's words, Zhang Xinhui's face fell instantly. She slapped the calculator in her hand on the counter. The calculator made a messy sound due to the impact, but Zhang Xinhui didn't care about it at all, and rushed to the counter with a pale face. Xu Guochao roared.
"If the wallpaper is broken, it will be broken. That girl in your family has died outside. She has never had any contact with the two of us. Why are you still thinking about painting her room? She will never come back in this life." !"
Xu Guochao knew that his wife had already had a knot in his heart because of his daughter. Every time he asked what he wanted to do for his daughter, Zhang Xinhui looked like this. Seeing that the other party was about to lose his temper again, Xu Guochao hurriedly said.
"Xinhui, I know I'm wrong, don't be angry, I just think it's not good if the wallpaper is moldy... We want to live in this house, it doesn't matter whether she comes back or not, do you think it makes sense?"
Xu Guochao tried to calm down Zhang Xinhui's anger by talking all kinds of things. Looking at his livid-faced wife, Xu Guochao regretted so much in his heart. If he had known his wife would have such a big reaction, he shouldn't have mentioned this matter.
However, Xu Guochao felt very uncomfortable when he thought of his daughter who had not returned home for six years. He and his wife only had this daughter. , and the daughter in the past has always been very competitive, which is also the pride of their husband and wife, but since she failed the college entrance examination and the husband and wife persuaded her to repeat her studies, the daughter seemed to have a gap with them.
Xu Xiaowen went to the provincial capital to go to university, and has never been back since then, and the two of them proposed to go to school to see her, Xu Xiaowen always found various reasons to refuse.
Later, after she graduated, she stayed in the provincial capital and did not come back. Originally, the couple thought that their relationship with them might be better after she graduated, but who would have thought that she would get even worse after graduation.
She doesn't answer the phone and text messages, and only occasionally replies with a few words to let the husband and wife know that she is still alive.
In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Xinhui didn't get angry at the mention of Xu Xiaowen like she is now. It was because one year during the Chinese New Year, Zhang Xinhui saw her daughter in the county who said she had no time to come back for the Chinese New Year.
But at that time, Xu Xiaowen accompanied another couple with big bags and small bags, nodding and bowing to them. It was obvious that the couple didn't look down on her at all, but she still circled around them as if she didn't see it. .
The way she licked her smiling face to please another couple deeply hurt Zhang Xinhui's heart. From that day on, she completely gave up on this daughter.
The daughter they raised in the palm of their hands ignored them after they grew up, but rushed to please another couple. Who would not be disappointed by seeing it
Xu Guochao once persuaded Zhang Xinhui, thinking that her daughter must have a reason for doing that, but Zhang Xinhui didn't listen to him at all.
"Is there any difficulty? Can you tell me what kind of difficulty can make an adult woman abandon her parents to kneel and lick other people? Are we the kind of parents who treat her badly? You ask yourself, since childhood, both of us Has he been wronged personally? We would rather wrong ourselves and give her the best, but what did she do? "
"Don't tell me that you don't feel it. This daughter has already regarded the two of us as enemies. She hates us. You are full of impatience when she speaks, and the hatred revealed between words. Can't you see it?"
If Zhang Xinhui used to be able to deceive herself and think that her daughter must have some difficulties, maybe it was because of a bad life, a bad life, a bad mood, or other reasons, anyway, she can always find Give various reasons to prove that Xu Xiaowen didn't ignore them on purpose.
But no matter how she deceives herself, lies are always lies, and the falsehood fabricated by lies will be exposed sooner or later. Now that she has recognized the reality clearly, she will no longer deceive herself with lies.
But Xu Guochao still had a slim hope, thinking that there must be some other reason why their carefully raised daughter would not treat them like that.
"Xiaowen is so good. She was a very caring daughter in the past. She will not change for no reason. Something must have happened that we don't know. If something happens to her, we parents will give up on her. Then what should she do next?"
It's just that neither of the husband and wife can convince anyone, and the days are just getting by.
In fact, Zhang Xinhui knew one thing very well. Xu Xiaowen didn't tell them where she worked in the provincial capital. All they held was Xu Xiaowen's phone number, and they didn't know where she was at all.
It was also for this reason that Xu Guochao had no way to find her even if he wanted to go to the provincial capital. After all, the provincial capital is so big that it would be impossible to find someone who deliberately hid in it.
"Okay, okay, don't put on such a bitter face in front of me. If you want to paint the room, go paint it. I won't help you anyway. You can do whatever you like."
Seeing Xu Guochao's appearance, Zhang Xinhui's heart softened after all, and after saying this, Xu Guochao immediately became happy after hearing her words.
"I knew you were a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person. In fact, you also want Xiaowen's room to be painted clean, right? Little girls are family lovers, and she will come back sooner or later. Then watch us paint her room. She is beautiful, she will be very happy."
Xu Guochao was rambling on, knowing that the possibility of what he said was unlikely to come true, but Zhang Xinhui couldn't help but start to fantasize.
What if? What if one day the daughter who inexplicably separated from them will inexplicably become intimate with them again, if at that time, when she returns home, she finds that the wallpaper in her room is covered with mold spots, as if no one has been there for a long time If she looks like she has taken care of it, then she will be sad, and she will no longer have nostalgia for this family.
"Don't paint it white, Xiaowen likes green, you can find a painter to adjust a green paint, repaint the room in green, and replace the furniture in her with white, to match the green wall."
Zhang Xinhui took a pen to write and draw in the notebook, and drew the appearance of the room he planned to decorate. Xu Guochao saw Zhang Xinhui's appearance, and his nose couldn't help but feel sour.
Although the wife said fiercely, saying that she would never want to recognize this daughter for the rest of her life, and would not let her in even if she came back, it can be seen from her current appearance that she is actually looking forward to Bring my daughter back.
When will their precious daughter come back to them again
It doesn't take long to redecorate a room, but within a day, Xu Xiaowen's room looks brand new. Looking at the refurbished room, Xu Guochao couldn't help taking a photo, and then sent a message to Xu Xiaowen.
[Xiaowen, my mother and I have redecorated your room for you. The walls have been replaced with your favorite green color. When you can go home, your mother and I miss you very much.]
The picture accompanying this message is the room that has just been renovated, and there are many messages on this message, four or five messages are sent almost every day, and Xu Guochao didn't say anything else, just sharing what he ate every day What did you do? By the way, I would like to say hello to Xu Xiaowen.
But even though Xu Guochao sent many messages in the past, Xu Xiaowen's reply was very few, but Xu Guochao was not given up, and still sent her messages habitually.
Even if they did something wrong and hurt her daughter's heart without knowing it, after so many years, she should forgive them. Seeing the news, she should know that they still love her...
[When can you go home and see us?]
****
After leaving the police station, Xu Xiaowen returned to her and Xu Wenqing's rented house, looking at the house where she had lived in for so many years, but she didn't have much nostalgia for it.
She used to think this was her home, but later she realized that she was wrong, this was never her home, it was just Xu Wenqing's cage to imprison her, and now she was about to break out of the cage and escape.
The conversation with Qi Feifei made Xu Xiaowen determined to go home, no matter what kind of storm he would face after returning home, his parents might reprimand her, scold her, or tell her to get out of the house... Even so, She also wants to go back.
She has been wrong for so many years, and she doesn't want to continue to be wrong.
While packing her luggage, Xu Xiaowen's cell phone rang. She took a look at the cell phone and found that the message was sent by her father.
Seeing the message from his father, Xu Xiaowen's eyes slowly turned red, when he saw the sentence [When can you go home and visit us? ], Xu Xiaowen completely lost her defense. She slipped and sat on the ground with her mobile phone in her arms, and burst into tears.
She was really, really wrong, obviously her parents loved her so deeply, why would she think that her parents had no feelings for her, but just wanted to influence her, use her, and oppress her
The person who clearly controlled her, used her, and oppressed her was Xu Wenqing. Why didn't she recognize this matter clearly
Xu Xiaowen cried heartbreakingly, as if she wanted to cry out all her pain and despair. After she finished crying, Xu Xiaowen also took a photo and sent it back.
***
Xu Guochao thought that this time would be the same as every time in the past. The messages he sent would go nowhere, and his daughter would not reply to him, but Xu Guochao didn't care. Young people, work will always be busy, and she will reply when she sees the message own up.
Just when Xu Guochao was riding his electric bike to the flower shop, his cell phone rang. He stopped the car and took out his cell phone to take a look. Xu Guochao's face suddenly changed. I couldn't help holding my breath.
[I'm packing my luggage, I'll go home to eat with you and mom at night.]
The accompanying picture is an open suitcase.
Xu Guochao felt that his eyes were a little hot, and something seemed to be blocked in his throat. He pinched his thigh vigorously, and the pain from his thigh reminded him that all this was not a dream.
He prayed to God every day, praying that his daughter could go home, and now God finally opened his eyes.
Xu Guochao rode to the flower shop at the fastest speed, and then handed his mobile phone in front of Zhang Xinhui. Because of his excitement, the mobile phone he was holding almost hit Zhang Xinhui's face.
"Old Xu, why are you crazy? Didn't you see that I'm settling accounts!"
Zhang Xinhui was so angry that she cursed at Xu Guochao, but Xu Guochao was not angry at all, and said excitedly: "Xinhui, Xiaowen is coming back, she is coming back, she said that she will go home to eat with us tonight, she wants came back."
Xu Guochao was so excited that he could barely speak. Zhang Xinhui couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and moved his eyes to Xu Guochao's mobile phone screen.
Xu Xiaowen is really coming back
They used to think that there would be no miracles, they used to think that they were the only husband and wife in this life, and they thought that their daughter would never come back, but they never thought that on this extremely ordinary day, her daughter said she was going home .
Zhang Xinhui suddenly handed the phone to Xu Guochao, and she took the key of the electric car from Xu Guochao's hand.
"Today you are here to look at the store, and I'm going to buy some food. It's all here. I don't know if I can buy good food..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Xinhui had already gone away on the electric bike, and Xu Guochao couldn't help laughing as she looked at her back.
That's great...their daughter is coming home.

"Father, tell me, how many years can Xu Wenqing be sentenced for the crime? I remember that extortion doesn't seem like a few years?"
After returning from the police station, Qi Feifei found that Qi Huang hadn't gone to work for the first time, she couldn't help being a little surprised, she hurried over and asked a question.
After hearing Qi Feifei's words, Qi Huan glanced at her, seeing the little girl looking at him with bright eyes, he stretched out his fingers to push the little girl who was too close to her away.
"Who told you that Xu Wenqing committed the crime of extortion?"
After hearing Qi Wang's words, Qi Feifei was dumbfounded. She looked at her father with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "It's not extortion? What is that? If it wasn't extortion, where did he get so much money?" money? Dad, you're really confusing me."
She thought that she had reached a consensus with Qi Wang yesterday. Xu Wenqing was threatening the girls with these photos. After all, those indecent photos can completely ruin their lives for women. In order to redeem the photos, They will definitely pay something to come.
As a result, now Qi Wang actually said that it was not because of extortion, but why? What did Xu Wenqing do to get so much money
Qi Wang did not hide Qi Feifei's intentions, and directly told Qi Feifei what Xu Wenqing had done.
Knowing what Xu Wenqing had done, Qi Feifei opened her mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
It turned out that she had misunderstood the causal relationship from the beginning, and Xu Wenqing was more vicious and vicious than she thought.
And according to what Qi Wang said, after those girls paid enough, he still didn't return their photos and videos to them, but sold them out...
How can a person be so bad? His viciousness has completely exceeded Qi Feifei's cognition.
Even the emotional Qi Feifei, who was suppressed by Qi Feifei in her heart and loved Xu Wenqing so much that she lost her mind and couldn't extricate herself, was stunned, probably because she finally realized what kind of scum the person she liked was. Those things that insisted on finally collapsed.
Those irrational and even crazy feelings finally completely disappeared at this moment.
The rational Qi Feifei sensed another personality's emotions, she thought about it, but still didn't hide it.
"Father, the other me seems to have finally recognized the true face of the scum, and she won't like that scum anymore."
After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "Father, you can make us one."
It's not that the dominant personality has never thought of completely annihilating the other personality, but Dad also said that if the other personality disappears, she will probably cease to exist, and she is not crazy enough to die with the other personality.
"I think after this incident, I probably won't and won't be able to fall in love again"
She met such a poisonous snake when she was in a relationship for the first time. She was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes.
Qi Huang agreed.
Qi Feifei felt like she had a dream, and before she could see what was in the dream, she woke up.
