Chapter 84
"I'll make you some tea, you sit down."

Xia Baoguo said something to Song Ci with some sobs, then turned and walked into the house.

He said he was making tea for Song Ci, probably because he didn't want others to see him crying.

Sure enough, when Xia Baoguo came out again, except for his red eyes, there were no tears on his face, and he was holding a cup in his hand.

Passed both hands to Song Ci and said: "Drink your saliva, the tea is given by others, it is not a good tea, so don't dislike it."

"It's okay, I don't pay attention to these things." Song Ci said, and took it.

If he didn't answer, the honest Xia Baoguo might feel even more uneasy.

Song Ci noticed that the cup was very new, as if it had just been taken out.

Sure enough, noticing Song Ci's eyes on the cup, Xia Baoguo hurriedly said: "The cup was brought back by the eldest son during the Chinese New Year last year. I have never been willing to use it. Don't worry, I washed it very clean."

"Thank you."

Song Ci thanked him, and took a sip. Song Ci is not a refined person, and he can't taste good or bad, but he thinks the taste of tea is a little weak. He is racing outside, and the kettle is filled with tea water, which is made of thick leaves. , the tea taste is very strong.

Seeing Song Ci drinking tea, Xia Baoguo heaved a sigh of relief, and then turned his attention to his son next to him.

Sun Guixiang kept holding Xia Jiabao's hand and talking, but she kept repeating those few sentences because she didn't know what to say.

But it doesn't matter to her, even if only a light response from her son is enough.

She tried to widen her eyes, as if she was just trying to remember her son in her mind. Although she is uneducated, she is not stupid, especially the rural people. seen it myself.

"Mom, your eyes are not good. Let Dad take you to the hospital some time. Don't worry about it. If you really can't see at all, you will regret it."

"Mom knows, Mom knows..."

Sun Guixiang stroked Xia Jiabao's hand.

Xia Jiabao's palms are big and thick, but they are also very strange. In her memory, her son's hands are not like this. They are small, fleshy, or like a tortoise's claws, dirty, with nails It's Ni, when he said him, he grinned at her.

How long has she held her son's hand?She didn't remember it herself, and looked up at her son's face, which was strange yet familiar.

"Jiabao..."

Xia Baoguo called his son with a serious expression.

"dad."

Xia Jiabao called out, but his eyes were a little dodgy, not daring to look at Xia Baoguo.

I know my son best, and Xia Baoguo naturally knows why he avoids his gaze.

But now is not the time to worry about these things, so I just asked softly: "Jiabao, why did you commit suicide? The police said that you borrowed a lot of money, and you chose to commit suicide because you couldn't pay it. If you want money, you can tell us."

"What's the use of telling you, do you have any money?" Xia Jiabao asked, with resentment in his words.

Song Ci, who was drinking tea with his head down, was stunned for a moment. It was a bit inappropriate to say this at this time, but he didn't say anything. What's hidden in it?
When Xia Baoguo heard the words, his face instantly turned pale, and the corners of his mouth murmured for a long time, unable to speak.

But Sun Guixiang explained anxiously: "It's not that we don't give you money, we really don't have it. The 20 yuan at home is your brother's money. It's for him to marry a wife. There are more than ten people..."

Xia Jiabao didn't speak, but looked at the couple with complicated expressions.

Song Ci didn't say anything, it's true...he didn't know what to say, before he had a faint feeling that something was wrong, especially when he was passing by Longxi Town.

What he said contained nostalgia for his childhood, but also a deep disgust for his past life. At that time, Song Ci realized that there was something wrong with his thinking.

What Xia Jiabao was talking about was his attitude towards the town, and probably his attitude towards his parents.

Say he doesn't love his parents?I'm afraid not, love is love, but it also despises them for being poor.

And Xia Baoguo and his wife's selfless love was taken for granted by him, and he felt that as long as they had something, they should give it to him.

"Then... the 20 was paid to others." Xia Baoguo said in a serious tone.

That sum of money was not retained in the end, 20 yuan was not a small amount for this family.

What Xia Jiabao owed is not only black online loans, but also some formal institutions. Of course, according to the law, as long as they give up inheriting Xia Jiabao's inheritance, they don't have to pay back the money.

Moreover, Xia Jiabao didn't have any inheritance. Apart from a few clothes, the most valuable thing was probably a computer. His mobile phone was dropped when he jumped off the building.

But the couple are both honest farmers, and they felt that it was natural to pay their debts, so they paid back the money they owed to the bank. They thought it was the country's money, and that's it.

After Xia Jiabao heard the words, he said with a complicated expression: "You guys have to give it to me earlier, so I don't have to jump off the building?"

"That's your brother's money...that's your brother's money..." Sun Guixiang kept talking, looking very helpless.

"But why don't you ask your eldest brother, since he was a child, as long as I tell him, he will definitely agree." Xia Jiabao said in a loud voice.

Xia Baoguo was also a little angry when he heard the words. He stared at Xia Jiabao, raised his eyebrows, glared at Xia Jiabao and said, "Since childhood, how much has your elder brother helped you? Isn't everyone in the family counting on him? Why do you still count on him if you don’t have a job and have hands and feet?”

Probably frightened by Xia Baoguo's aura, Xia Jiabao murmured softly: "He is my elder brother, he will definitely help me."

What Xia Baoguo said made Song Ci look at him with admiration. Although he is a farmer and has no education, it does not mean that he is ignorant.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.

At this moment, Xia Jiabao suddenly laughed, very brightly.

Then, amidst Xia Baoguo's astonishment, he hugged him.

"dad."

Xia Jiabao yelled in his ear, and then burst into tears, as if he wanted to vent all his grievances.

The moment Xia Jiabao hugged Xia Baoguo, Xia Baoguo's body instantly became stiff, with his hands raised high, motionless, his face full of bewilderment.

But when Xia Jiabao called "Dad", he completely relaxed his body, lowered his arms, and patted Xia Jiabao's back lightly.

"Jiabao..."

He wanted to comfort him with words, but he couldn't speak a word to him clumsily, he just kept repeating the word "Jia Bao".

"Why is this? Why is this..."

Sitting next to her, Sun Guixiang was also wiping her tears, but her face was full of confusion. She had lived her whole life, but she still didn't understand.

Why does a good person become like this?How would a good home become like this?

Song Ci took a sip of the tea in the cup. After brewing for a long time, the tea finally tasted bitter.
