With a pair of black masks on, Tuobayan stood beside the snack cart waiting for pancakes, smiling and listening to the babes of the pancake aunt.
"I don't want to accept my old age. I wear a warm jacket with a thick down vest, and I feel the cold wind digging into my bones. I really envy you young people. I was like this when I was young..."
While chatting casually, Tuobayan looked up and saw the nanny car approaching from a distance, and quickly waved to make Meng Meng pull over and stop.
Tuobayan handed the aunt a ten-yuan bill, and she took two coins from the change box. She got into the carriage with two warm packets of pancakes and asked Meng Meng, "Sister Meng, you Have you had breakfast?"
Meng Meng took out a heat preservation bucket from under the passenger seat: "President Li ordered to buy you a soup bag, and I brought one for myself by the way."
Tuobayan unscrewed the lid, and the heating came to her face. In the cage were layered small and transparent buns, which were her favorite Zhao family restaurant craftsmanship. This meticulous care made her feel very comfortable. Although she was used to Li Yanrao's ubiquitous warmth, she couldn't help but snicker.
As a single dog, Meng Meng looked a little envious.
The girl Tuoba, who is always calm, self-controlled, stable and mature, only smiles so sweetly when it comes to things related to President Li.
#The dog food stuffed in the stomach is so full, I suddenly feel that I can't swallow#
#It is said that a slap doesn't make a sound, but people don't forget to show their affection towards the insulation bucket#
#enough is enough#
The family home is about a 20-minute drive from Zhu Tiantian's Luyuan Garden. It was almost eight in the morning when we arrived at the gate of the community, so Zhu Tiantian should have made some arrangements.
Tuobayan knew the number of Zhu Tiantian's landline. After the car entered the community, she took out her mobile phone to dial, but no one answered.
She just called again, the front of the car turned, and the building where the Zhu family was located was in front of her. Zhu Tiantian was wearing a thin beige down jacket with a high-necked white sweater as a base, and was sitting on the flower bed with a large bag and a small bag in a daze. .
Tuobayan lowered the window: "This is it!"
Zhu Tiantian looked back subconsciously, her complexion looked much better than yesterday, although she was still a little haggard, she was tidy up anyway.
When she saw Tuobayan, her originally dazed eyes lit up almost instantly, as if a lost ship caught the light at the top of the lighthouse in the dark night, and smiled happily.
Yesterday, Zhu Tiantian and Tuobayan separated, and within a few steps, they met the aunt of the neighborhood committee and several neighbors. They were going to pick her up, but they were very surprised to see Zhu Tiantian come back by herself.
The imagined contempt or alienation did not appear. The neighbors embraced and comforted her sincerely and told her not to be afraid. If there is anything in the future, just tell them, and scold Zhu Jianguo in unison for what she did.
Zhu Tiantian herself was the best actor, so she could see that everyone sincerely wanted to help her, and the shock in her heart was no less than when she saw the knife marks on Tuobayan's wrist in the barred window.
The philistine middle-aged women who once secretly looked down upon in their hearts accepted her tolerantly at this time.
Thousands of dislikes in the past, unappetizing snacks gifts received perfunctory, all kinds of malicious speculations about their thoughts... At this moment, it was like an invisible slap slapped on Zhu Tiantian's face, and her cheeks were burning hot.
The warm palms and arms of the aunts made Zhu Tiantian feel the peace of mind like a relative or even a family.
Life taught her to be arrogant and frivolous, and she learned tolerance and gratitude.
Fortunately, it is not too late to regret it now.
The neighbors were sent away, and the table at home was already piled with the daily necessities they sent. The traces of the battle with my father that day in the living room were scrubbed away by someone, but Zhu Tiantian still felt a little uncomfortable. All the windows were opened to let in the sunlight, which made me feel more comfortable.
Wrapped in Tuobayan's coat, Zhu Tiantian sat on the balcony chair for a while.
I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to see Tuoba Jiao, but I don't know if she's seriously injured... and my mother, how is she doing in the detention center...
As for Zhu Jianguo, Zhu Tiantian really didn't want to think about him.
The five hundred yuan and the note paper given by Tuobayan, Zhu Tiantian treasured them in a small box and hid them in a small box. She was not going to move the money, and the coat that Tuobayan put on her was also washed. Dry clean.
There is rice, flour, grain and oil at home. Zhu Tiantian pondered what she wanted to do for Sister Tuoba.
Zhu Tiantian's deceased grandmother used to be a famous pastry chef. All her skills were passed on to Zhu's mother, and even Zhu Tiantian would have a little bit of kung fu in the kitchen.
Seeing that Zhu Tiantian was struggling to carry a bunch of large and small bags by herself, Tuobayan and Meng Meng hurriedly got out of the car to help. Zhu Tiantian, who had lost her usual camouflage, looked a little jerky and restrained: "Thank you."
After all the things were loaded into the car, Tuobayan joked: "No way, bring so many gifts?"
Zhu Tiantian's eyes barely moved away from Tuobayan, she handed a small box that she had been holding in her hand to Tuobayan, and she stammered: "Tuobayan, this is For you... I didn't do well, it doesn't matter if you don't take it... "
Speaking of which, Zhu Tiantian's pale cheeks from the cold outside turned slightly red. Tuobayan took the box and opened it. It was full of small snacks of various colors, both Chinese and Western styles. All of them were exquisite and lovely, exuding a tempting sweet fragrance.
She exclaimed, "Did you do it yourself?"
Zhu Tiantian twisted her fingers crampedly: "Yes, I made them fresh this morning. It's very fresh. Would you like to try it?"
Tuobayan ate soup dumplings and pancakes with hot sauce in the morning, and now she really wants something sweet.
She picked up a small white dot with a pattern on the top, a bit like a snowskin mooncake. The refreshing yam skin was wrapped with a jujube paste filling with just the right degree of sweetness, which was particularly refreshing and sweet.
This small yam cake with jujube mud takes hours to make. Zhu Tiantian wakes up early to make these many tricks with these various kinds of desserts in the box. No wonder her eyes were bruised.
Tuobayan said softly: "It's delicious, but you also need to pay attention to your body. Don't be exhausted."
Hearing that Tuobayan said she liked it, Zhu Tiantian's eyes were bright, and the tiredness on her face seemed to be swept away, she said with a smile: "I'm not tired, your and... and Tuobajiao are in the same furnace. , I have arranged the time in advance, and the materials were almost prepared yesterday. If you like it, I... I am very happy, really."
Looking at Zhu Tiantian's firm expression, Tuobayan felt emotional and thankful that she did not see the wrong person.
She buttoned up the snack box and stuffed Zhu Tiantian with a pillow: "Go to the back seat and sleep for a while, and I'll call you at the hospital."
Zhu Tiantian initially refused, but Tuobayan dragged her to the back and pressed her down. After a few minutes, she was already asleep on the soft pillow.
Her body was curled up together, her sleeping position seemed a little insecure, and her demeanor was relatively relaxed, but her delicate face had traces of Father Zhu's violence, especially the bruises on the corners of her mouth and brows, which were pale to the point of transparency. A comparison of the skin, the whole person is embarrassed.
Tuobayan sighed: "Zhu Tiantian is also unlucky to have such a father."
Meng Meng had no good feelings for this girl at first, but these two short-term contacts have improved a lot. She echoed:
"This man is too bad to be so cruel to his own daughter. By the way, the lawyer arranged by Sister Li intends to convince Qi Yanhua to sue Zhu Jianguo."
Tuobayan was refreshed: "Can it be done?"
The red light at the intersection ahead came on, Meng Meng stepped on the brakes slowly, and tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips:
"It depends on what Qi Yanhua means. If Qi Yanhua hadn't made up her mind to take her daughter to divorce Zhu Jianguo, it would be useless to prosecute. With the temperament of these two people, Zhu Tiantian will only have a worse life."
Tuobayan felt the same, Zhu Tiantian was not an adult after all, and all the turning points were on her mother Qi Yanhua: "I will visit later, I will tell Zhu Tiantian in advance, I hope Qi Yanhua can take care of this daughter. "
Meng Meng also meant the same thing, she nodded and sighed: "In this world, women are hard to do."
Meng Meng and Tuobayan chatted all the way, deliberately slowing down the car to let Zhu Tiantian sleep more.
Arriving at the parking lot of Yucheng Hospital, Zhu Tiantian woke up as soon as the car turned off, and sat up in a daze:
"Is it here?"
Tuobayan was amused when she saw her sleepy eyes, and whispered, "It's okay, you can continue to sleep."
Zhu Tiantian refused, and rubbed her face vigorously to refresh herself: "I've rested."
When she said this, Tuobayan stopped persuading her to sleep again, got up and sat next to Zhu Tiantian, took out the comb from the vanity bag in the car, and asked her to take care of her messy hair in front of the vanity mirror.
Zhu Tiantian combed her hair and wiped her face with a wet towel, making sure there was nothing rude in her image, and said to Tuobayan, "Let's go."
At this moment, Tuobayan has put on a mask. She is also a public figure after all. Her family's affairs are currently on the cusp. I don't know where there are reporters who are squatting or people who know her. .
Tuobayan also handed Zhu Tiantian a dust mask to put on, but Meng Meng didn't go up.
Because of the well-preparedness, and the fact that there were few people in the VIP inpatient department these days, they came to Tuoba Jiao's ward smoothly.
The two took the elevator side by side and took off their masks in the elevator room. Tuobayan looked down at Zhu Tiantian's uneasy look, and said to comfort: "Don't worry, my sister and my mother are willing to let you come. , it won't embarrass you."
Only then did Zhu Tiantian feel more calm.
Tuoba Yan walked in front, the door of the ward was not closed, she couldn't help but look at it with joy, Tuoba Jiao, Li Guanting and their two mothers were playing poker for entertainment. Tuobayan knocked on the door: "Why are you playing so lively?"
Tuoba Jiao smiled and said, "Just as I was talking about you, you came."
Tuobayan turned to let Zhu Tiantian come over, the latter was still somewhat nervous, and said embarrassingly: "Tuobajiao, I..."
The happy atmosphere in the room turned cold, Li Guanting hated Zhu Tiantian for bullying Tuoba Jiao, her face was very angry, she lowered her eyes and did not look at her. Qiao Chunyi and Gu Min's expressions were also light, and Zhu Tiantian said awkwardly:
"I came today to apologize to you."
"I posted the school BBS posts, and those rumors have nothing to do with me, and Hu Miao and the others embarrass you, I'm doing things on your clothes... I'm sorry, Tuoba Jiao, I really know I'm wrong, I'm sorry. "
"I know I'm too much, and my mother's is too much, and it hurts you... So I don't ask you and the two aunts to forgive us... "
Speaking of this, Zhu Tiantian's face flushed red, she mustered up her courage, walked forward with her hands and feet, and put a few gift boxes on the table: "This is a snack I made myself, if you don't dislike it, Just, just taste it, I... I'll never do this again."
Tuoba Jiao laughed suddenly, she blinked: "Okay, I forgive you."
Zhu Tiantian was stunned, standing in place at a loss, unable to believe her ears.
It's that simple
Tuoba Jiao got out of bed and held Zhu Tiantian's hand, whose palm was wet with cold sweat.
She looked at Zhu Tiantian seriously: "I have the ability to read minds, so I can see if people are lying." Then she repeated: "Since you are truly remorseful, then I will forgive you."
Gu Min and Qiao Chunyi saw their daughter like this, and their eyes fell on Zhu Tiantian's blue and purple face again, and they finally softened: "Good boy, it's good to know your mistakes."
Tuoba Jiao interjected: "And, actually, I wasn't injured at all."
Zhu Tiantian's eyes widened: "Huh?"
Li Guanting came over and pulled Tuoba Jiao to her side, mumbling, "If it wasn't for Jiao Jiao, do you think everyone could accept you so easily?"
Tuobayan rounded up the situation: "The past has been turned over, and I won't mention it in the future."
Zhu Tiantian was a little dazed until she left the ward and walked downstairs, blinded by the sudden luck.
Tuobayan wanted to send her to the detention center to meet Qi Yanhua. Seeing Zhu Tiantian staring at the sky in a daze, she stopped and pulled her: "What?"
Zhu Tiantian regained her senses, took a long breath, and smiled relaxedly: "It's nothing, I just feel that my mood is much different from before."
Relying on his height, General Tuoba patted Zhu Tiantian's hair: "That's right."
Under the guidance of Li Yanrao, Zhu's mother filed a lawsuit, accusing Zhu Jianguo of abusing minor children, and filed for divorce at the same time.
Because of the long-term domestic violence, which caused great harm to Zhu Tiantian's psychology, Zhu Jianguo was finally sentenced to two years in prison. Zhu's mother was sentenced to one year and three months in prison with a two-year reprieve because she had a good attitude in confessing her guilt and was forgiven by the victim. Divorce proceedings also proceeded smoothly.
When Qi Yanhua was released from prison, Zhu Tiantian stood outside the detention center waiting for her, and the mother and daughter cried together.
Immediately after Tuoba Jiao was discharged from the hospital, Li Guanting and sister Tuoba returned to school. Because of the many disputes, Zhu Tiantian could not go to school in Yuchuan No. 6 Middle School. After thinking about it, Qi Yanhua took her daughter back to her parents' home. Tianyun City, the capital of Central Xinjiang Province.
She kept in touch with Tuobayan from time to time, so Tuobayan learned that Qi Yanhua opened a dim sum shop in Tianyun City. Because of her excellent craftsmanship, the business was very prosperous, and Zhu Tiantian also settled down in a middle school in Tianyun City.
Li Yanrao: ? ?
... She was the only one who was unlucky enough to live a lonely life.
The weather has been getting colder and colder over the past year, and there are still five days before the Spring Festival. Tuobayan has decided to apply for the directing department of Beijing Film and Television. The admissions brochure has now come out, and the professional examination will start on February 16th.
Thanks to President Li's blessing, the Qiao family was able to go to Tianyun Mountain to soak in the hot springs, which was a good time to relax.
