Chapter 43:Loud Slap

Hou Canghai lowered his voice and said, "Your father's temper is violent, you must refrain from it, don't quarrel with him."

"I have been scolded by the dog blood sprinkler, except for the words of the break-up, and my father has said all the other bad things."If you get home, your parents say bad things to you, look at my face, you have to understand a lot."

Hou Canghai's mind came up with Xiong Hengwu's thuding expression, knowing that this time to Qinyang will inevitably become a "war", he sighed, "You are really willing to resign to Jiangzhou development, will you regret it in the future?"

Xiong Xiaomei hesitated slightly on the phone and said, "Do it all, regret what is the use."

He said, “I am incompetent.”

Bear Xiaomei said, “Marry chicken with chicken, marry dog with dog, marry root and pick up.”Don't think about it, it's better to fight together than to separate the two."

At this moment, Hou Canghai was deeply moved, a woman, abandoned work, left her parents, almost ran to himself with almost nothing, her affection as Taishan.At this time, in the public space of the bus, Hou Canghai could not express his mood, suppressed his emotions, and asked, “I still arrive at nine o’clock, will you come to pick me up at the station?”

Just here, Hou Canghai heard the roar of Xiong Hengwu on the phone.Then the bear said, “My father is screaming.”I can't get out of here, I can't pick you up at the station.When you come at this time, you will be cursed."

"I scolded, I'm not mentally so fragile, I can afford it."Even if I hit you, I wouldn't be angry."Hou Canghai knew that his girlfriend's temper was very affected by his father's anger, and he was very stubborn, and he said, "Your father's temper is big, and you have two sentences less."

In the microphone came the roar of his father-in-law, Xiong Hengwu, and then the voice of Xiaomei, "Dad, say something good, don't curse."

Hou Canghai faintly heard a sentence from the phone: "How do I curse people, Lao Tzu still beats people."After hearing the “snap” sound, the phone was hung up.

At the end of the call, there was water vapor on the surface of the phone.Hou Canghai wiped the water vapor on the surface of the mobile phone with his frozen stiff fingers, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man next to him, and the middle-aged man suspended his head on his chest, hanging in the corner of his mouth, and hung in the air.He subconsciously wiped his mobile phone and pondered: "Listen to the sound, Xiaomei seems to have been slapped, my father-in-law is really out of time, the temper is very big."In the middle of the war, it might be brave.But now is a time of peace, and a tempestuous temper can only be a bad thing.”

After the bus drove out of the Bayue Mountain, it traveled along a curved and narrow riverside road, and the scattered and sparse lights on the shore were reflected in the water, which was more lonely under the cold wind.

Hou Canghai closed his eyes, leaned his head on the back of the car, passed the whole thing in his mind, seriously thought about the measures to deal with Xiong Hengwu and Yang Zhongfang, and began to organize the language in advance.He suddenly flashed a problem in his mind: "Little Mei resigned, in fact, a single decision, hidden from everyone, if I tell the truth, put the responsibility to a clean."But in this way, Xiaomei will be put at a disadvantage in the family.I have to take responsibility — the resignation is the result of a discussion between the two of them.”

He called Xiong Xiaomei again, and the phone was turned off.

At 9 p.m., the bus finally entered the city and stopped at the Qinyang City Bus Terminal.The passengers got out of the car, walked out of the waiting shed, received the people they were waiting for, three or two in the cold wind to leave the station, disappeared into the streets.Usually at this time, Xiaomei will always stand in front of the waiting shed, with a few incense sprayed small cage buns, which is the most desirable warm moment of lovers in the two places, although difficult, but especially warm.Today, the bear Xiaomei's family will inevitably ignite a raging war, "every Monday" did not happen.

In the north wind, Hou Canghai bought a few pounds of apples in the fruit shop next to the station.When he came out of the small shop, he put up his collar, his left hand with the apple, and the right hand with the old bacon of the Black River Town, and walked quickly toward the bear Xiaomei's house.

Hou Canghai one meter eighty-two, wearing a black long coat with a raised collar, under the street lamp, the back looks cool and handsome.

The owner of the fruit shop is a laid-off female worker in her thirties.There were countless Friday nights, and the young man always came to buy fruit at about nine o'clock in the evening, and the two occasionally talked about it.There were no other guests in the shop at this time, and she stood in the doorway, leaning against the doorposts, watching silently watch the young man disappear into the darkness.

Hou Canghai knew that the two old people were dissatisfied with their own outsiders, and now Xiong Xiaomei resigned without authorization, deep love, and was bound to be more responsible, thinking of his impetuous father-in-law, his heart was like a huge scale, and he breathed himself up: "The sea is flowing, the hero is true, I must face the most difficult time."

When he arrived at the bear house, Hou Canghai did not enter the door immediately, standing at the door with a harsh cold wind, and standing upright ears to listen to the sound of the house.The house was quiet and quiet, not only without speech, but not even on TV.

A cold wind blew, and the sea, standing outside the door, tightened his clothes.He raised his hand and tapped his finger three times on the thick wooden door.Every time I enter the bear family, I should be the most nervous one today.

The door opened, the eldest sister Xiong Xiaoqin appeared at the door, and the expression seriously accused: "How can you let Xiaomei quit her job?"

Resignation is a decision made by Xiong Xiaomei without authorization, Hou Canghai has just known, the same nest is on fire.He could not put the blame on his strong girlfriend, "Big sister, Uncle Xiong is angry?"

Xiong Xiaoqin complained: "Resignation of this big thing is not to discuss to the family, we are a working family, to find a good job for my sister is really not easy."She whispered again: "I was urged back by the phone, my father rarely called, this time guarding the commissary called me three times, let me come back."When my father curses, don't yell."

The bright daylight in the living room blinked white and flashed under a few minutes.

Xiong Hengwu and Yang Zhongfang sat on the sofa, and the two people had a layer of cold ice on their faces.

Hou Canghai said, “Uncle Xiong, Aunt Yang.”

Xiong Hengwu and Yang Zhongfang both held their arms and sat on the sofa without expression.The TV was flashing, with an inexplicable song, knowing that no one was watching, and still performing hard.

Xiong Xiaoqin took the fruit in Hou Canghai's hand and placed it on the coffee table, in order to ease the atmosphere, coldly said: "Have you eaten?"The kitchen is still there.”

In this atmosphere, Hou Canghai did not have any interest in eating, said: "Eat, thank you sister."After hearing his girlfriend's resignation, he expected that the atmosphere would be like this at home, and only when he entered the house, he found that the emotions of Xiong Hengwu and Yang Zhongman were greater than expected.He took a deep breath and asked the bear harp again, “Big sister, where is Xiaomei?”

The bear pointed to the house.

Hou Canghai rubbed his frozen face with his hand and said without a word: "The Siberian cold is down south, and today the temperature is low, and it is estimated to be below zero."

Xiong Hengwu and Yang Zhongfang never looked at the sea, the two moved quite the same way, their hands on their chests, looking at the white wall.

The atmosphere in the house was as heavy as a gel, and the embarrassed Hou Canghai said, "I went to the bedroom to find Xiaomei."

Xiong Hengwu and Yang Zhongfang still did not answer.

In the bedroom, Xiaomei Xiong sat on the bed, red and swollen on both cheeks, and could clearly see the finger marks.Hou Canghai heard the slap on the phone, at this time saw the girlfriend's face of a large piece of redness, still surprised, angry: "something to say, how to hit people."

Seeing Hou Canghai, Xiong Xiaomei burst into tears and fell down, saying, “I told my parents about my resignation, they are very angry.”Then I got into a fight, and my father slapped me.She looked at the door and asked in a low voice, “Didn’t they talk to you?”

He said, “I said hello, they didn’t pay attention to me, and they didn’t say a word.”

Bear Xiaomei wiped her tears and said, "There must be a storm tonight, I'm not good, to provoke such a big mess."

Hou Canghai couldn’t help but say, “You really did this thing inappropriately, and you resigned without consulting with your family.”Moreover, even if you want to resign, you should wait until after the Spring Festival to quit, this Spring Festival is ruined."He had wanted to say that the matter of mobilizing the business school was very promising, and he spoke to his mouth and swallowed into his stomach.

“If you talk to me, can you resign?”Xiong Xiaomei buried his head on the shoulders of Hou Canghai and said, "My heart is bitter, separated from two places, the home is not like home, the shit money is not, no change, I want to go crazy."

Hou Canghai saw his girlfriend gaunt, could not bear to blame, held her hand tightly, comforted: "It is a disaster that can't be hidden, it is not a disaster, since something happened, we have to face it."All roads lead to Rome, resign, and the living will be urinated and suffocated.”

Bear Xiaomei raised his head and said, “You really don’t blame me?”

“You resigned as a sacrifice for us, how can I blame you?”I blame me for not being able to move you to Jiangzhou right away.But I am confident that we will succeed and live well.”

"My parents scold you, if you don't understand me, then I'm really stupid to resign."

Hou Canghai used his forehead to top his girlfriend's forehead, and used his nose to top his girlfriend's nose, "We go to the living room, this storm can't hide, we have to face our parents."I want to assure them that you will live a better life than I do now, which is my promise as a man.”

Hou Canghai and Xiaomei walked back to the living room and sat opposite their parents, eager to open their mouths.Xiong Hengwu suddenly burst out, got up from the sofa, the action is very agile, like a young man in his twenties.His tone is very high: "Ho Canghai, you are looking for objects, go back to Jiangzhou to find, why go to Qinyang to find my family's little Mei."Our family lives well in Qinyang City, and your dog day has broken up our family alive.”

After learning that his girlfriend resigned without authorization, Hou Canghai envisioned many scenarios of meeting with Xiong Hengwu and Yang Zhongfang, and also thought that Xiong Hengwu would lose his mind and curse.He was not angry, quietly said: "Me and Xiao Mei really want to be together, how to separate the family."We will have a good time.”

Angraught Xiong Hengwu pointed to Hou Canghai's nose and scolded: "How difficult it is for a working family like us to find a good job, your family is also a factory, don't you know?"The second sister is now in Qinyang No. 2, which is a blessing that we have repaired in several lifetimes.She said that she resigned and resigned, considered filial piety to her parents, and did she contribute to the family?As a man, you have considered her future without, she is not working now, what about later life?You're not a man, you really want to resign, you should resign."

Hou Canghai took a step back, evaded his father-in-law's finger on the tip of his nose, and said, "I will start a business together with Xiaomei in the future, and I will definitely be able to live a good life, please rest assured my parents."

Xiong Hengwu emotionally threw the fruit on the table on the ground, kicked it hard, and said, "You are a broken director in the town, there is no ability, a mobilization can not be done, why bring happiness to Xiaomei."Even if you become an official later, if you pedal your daughter, Xiaomei is an empty bamboo basket.Fuck me, you bastard, and don't let me into my house again."

Despite the preparation of his mind, but Xiong Hengwu constantly said harsh words, or let Hou Canghai feel uncomfortable, he tried to control his emotions, said: "now love freedom, marriage freedom."We're in a good mood, and Uncle Bear doesn't make sense to say what didn't happen."

"We are old, let Xiaomei stay around, should not, Xiong Xiaomei lost his job, the responsibility is all on you."“Mother of the day.”

"I don't want Xiong Xiaomei to resign, and I'm trying to run and move."

“He has resigned and a hammer has been moved.”The bear was angry and cursed again.

Yang Zhongfang took Xiong Hengwu's arm, and said in tears: "Bear Xiaomei's own self-inflicted, what has to do with Hou Canghai, is that we have not taught our daughter well."

Xiong Xiaomei did not think that his father was so emotional, worried that the matter was too big, took his boyfriend's hand, and said, "Hu Canghai, let's go."

Xiong Hengwu liked his little daughter, Xiong Xiaomei, and the younger daughter could teach in Qinyang No. 2 Middle School, which was the greatest comfort for their husbands and wives.After the children's school was merged into Qinyang No. 2 Middle School, the young daughter's life was guaranteed, and the couple also had face in front of friends and colleagues.At this time, the young daughter actually quit her job without consulting with her family, remembering that her daughter has no job since then, and lost her protection in the future.At this time, the culprit Hou Canghai stood in front of him, and the more he wanted to leave the house, the more he wanted to get angry, finally lost his mood, threw away his wife's hand, and jerked his hand to Hou Canghai.

There was a loud noise in the living room.

The slap went down, and all four people in the living room were shocked.As the saying goes, the chickens hit the group, the pheasant is flying, the daughter and the parents are breaking the bones, playing a few slaps without big problems, but the relationship between the mother-in-law and the father-in-law is not the same, this slap down, it is difficult to say what the consequences will be.

Xiong Xiaoqin first reacted, saw his father suddenly hit people, ran across the middle of his father and Hou Canghai, and said, "Dad, there is something to say, how do you hit someone?"

Hou Canghai has not been beaten since he read junior high school, was slapped by his father-in-law, and the blood came up.He clasped his hands, glaring.

Bear Xiaomei himself was slapped by his father, felt deeply wronged, and can accept.Dad slapped her boyfriend in the face, so she couldn’t accept it anyway.Her fire was rolling in her chest, and she just wanted to leave the house quickly and loudly said, "Huanghai, let's go, now back to Jiangzhou."

Hou Canghai looked at Xiong Hengwu and Yang Zhongfang, and his clenched fists slowly relaxed.Objectively speaking, the two old people can let themselves into the house, indicating that they have a back road.Today, Xiong Hengwu lost his mind, because Xiong Xiaomei suddenly resigned.

He said nothing, turning around and leaving.

The bear chased to the door and said, "Second sister, I'll call."

When Hou Canghai and Xiong Xiaomei walked to the door, Yang Zhongfang's cry and scolded from the house: "You old man, how can you start beating people?"You really have the ability to hit your daughter first, and then hit the sea, can Hou Canghai fight?The daughter has resigned, and if you run away from Hou Canghai again, is this not to break the daughter's life?"

The two of them heard this cry and stopped their steps involuntarily and looked at each other.Hou Canghai from the eyes of the bear Xiaomei to some hesitation, asked: "You want to go back?"

"It's fueling the fire now."Xiong Xiaomei tightly hugged the arm of Hou Canghai and said, "Don't be angry, my father is confused by me."

“I know.”

"Where are we going."

“Where can I go, stay in a hotel?”

“Let’s go to the food hotel.”

The heat on the sea’s face was very painful.Xiong Hengwu is a pinch worker, the hand is really small, this slap makes him injured in the face.He spit out blood and said, “What kind of food hotel, we live in the Qinyang Hotel.”

The food hotel is the guest house of the former Food Bureau, built in the era of the food system, and now has become a private hotel, but still with the food sign, belongs to the traditional old hotel.Qinyang Hotel is a newly built star hotel, in Qinyang is a first-class hotel.

“It’s very expensive.”

"It's expensive, today is the beginning of our new life, live in the Qinyang Hotel."

Out of the house, the north wind roared in the sky, like a monster, unusually cold.

The sea was not angry, saying, “Take a taxi.”

Qinyang Hotel is not far away, Xiong Xiaomei originally wanted to walk past, look up at the palm prints on her boyfriend's face, no objection.She took her boyfriend’s arm and stood on the street waiting for the car.Usually not taxi when often visible taxi, at this time play missing, waiting for more than ten minutes, there is no empty car.The north wind cut off the face, the cheeks, nose flushed red, shrunk the neck, looking at the car in the distance.

When Xiaomei went out, he took a coat, which was a relatively thin short coat, and the cold wind looked at the short coat as nothing, and entered it.The sea unbuckled the down jacket and wrapped the trembling girlfriend in his arms, not for intimacy, but for the warmth of the group.
