When Xiao Fengya heard me say that, she suddenly froze. She sighed, nodded, and softly said: "Yes, we've already decided to sell the real estate."
"Mom! Why! After selling the house, where will you and dad live? The villa in the suburbs? Did you sell it too? Did you sell all the real estate? But dad, mom, where will you live in the future? "I looked at Xiao Fengya, my heart filled with worry.
Xiao Fengya looked at me with a bitter smile and said: "Your dad and I have been thinking about this for a long time. If we don't sell the real estate, then we might not even be able to keep Kurosawa. This is your father's life's work, how can we let it disappear from this world? So after thinking about it for a long time, we decided that we can live in an apartment in Kurosawa. It's already been arranged. There's an eighty square meter apartment that's pretty good. It's already been tidied up, and we'll move there in two days. The environment isn't bad, and us two old people don't need much space, so it's enough. We've also taken care of some of the messy things in the house, so when you come over today, it will be a bit quieter. "
I shook my head and looked at my mother and said: "Mom, how can eighty square meters be enough? Mom, I'll find a place for you and dad to live. Although the environment can't be compared to here, it's definitely better than that eighty square meter apartment. Mom, don't refuse me. You two old people have worked hard for most of your lives, how can I let you suffer such a big grievance? I won't allow it. "
"Xiao Li, I know you're doing this for our good, but your dad and I have already decided that living a simple life like this is better than anything else. As long as you children live well, it's fine. If you come and visit us when you're free, we'll be satisfied. Isn't that right, dad?" Xiao Fengya turned her head and looked at Duanmu Tachio, who was sitting on the sofa. Duanmu Tachio smiled and nodded.
Xiao Fengya looked at me and cried. She reached out to wipe my tears and said: "Xiao Li, listen to me. Don't be sad. This is fate. Now that we're here, we have to live like this. We don't have any room to resist. Everything is fine now. Through this matter, our family has become more united. Que 'er has also matured a lot. When his father was sick, he worked very hard. He shouldered all the pressure in the Kurosawa by himself. When he came home, he never complained to us. Instead, he did everything he could to be filial to us. Que' er has really changed. Seeing that he's sensible, we're very happy. Isn't that good? We also want to live a normal life. In the past, we started from nothing with dad. Those are the days we cherish the most. Now, we can reminisce about those happy times. This is also good. "
I wiped my tears and said softly: "Mom, you and dad must not suffer. I really do feel sorry for you. I really do. I don't know how to help you, but …" As I spoke, I choked up again.
Xiao Fengya took my hand and said, "It's nothing. It's not like we haven't suffered before. It's just that Que 'er has suffered. Xinyao is fine. She married a good man like Suri and has her own life, so we don't have to worry about her. Que' er has never suffered before. I'm worried that he won't be able to bear it. I don't know how to comfort him. He's become very quiet recently. If you and Xiao Hao have the time, you should go and spend more time with him." Xiao Fengya gently patted my hand.
I turned to look at Han Hao. He was also looking at me. Han Hao thought for a moment. He looked at Xiao Fengya and asked, "Auntie Xiao, Xiao Que was here just now. Where did he go?"
Xiao Fengya nodded. "He should be in his bedroom. Recently, he's been cooped up in his room. I don't know what he's doing."
I stood up and looked at Han Hao. "Xiao Hao, I'm going upstairs to check on Xiao Que first. I'll be back in a bit." Han Hao looked at me and nodded. I asked for his permission because I knew that Han Hao trusted me. If he didn't worry about letting me go alone to look for Duanmu Que, then he definitely believed that nothing would happen between Xiao Que and me.
I left the living room and went upstairs to Duanmu Que's bedroom. I knocked on the door. At first, no one answered. I knocked again. Duanmu Que's voice came from inside. He said softly, "You don't have to call me to eat. I don't feel like eating."
I sighed and pushed open the bedroom door. I saw Duanmu Que sitting in front of his desk, holding a photo in his hand. He seemed to be lost in thought. I closed the door and quietly walked behind him. I saw the photo in his hand. It was a photo we had taken when we were on our honeymoon. In the photo, Duanmu Que had his arm around my shoulder, and I was leaning against his chest. The two of us were laughing happily. I thought to myself, Is he thinking of me? Duanmu Que said softly, "I said I don't want to eat. You don't have to call me. You can go out. I want to be alone." He reached out and gently stroked the photo. He looked very sad.
"What's the matter? You want to be alone so much? It's rare that Xiao Hao and I come over. Why don't you talk to us? " I gently patted Duanmu Que's shoulder. He quickly stood up and hid the photo behind his back.
"Xiao … Xiao Li, why are you here? I didn't even notice. That … that, are you here to call me to eat? "Duanmu Que's face turned red. He hurriedly stuffed the photo into the drawer.
I looked at him and smiled. Then, I turned to look at the room I used to live in. It wasn't as luxurious as it used to be. In other words, the entire bedroom had nothing but a bed, a wardrobe, a desk, and a stool. It was very cold. I stood at the window and looked out. I could see the garden and the rose pond in the garden. It was still there, and the flowers in the rose pond were very beautiful. Duanmu Que looked at me in a daze. He said softly, "Xiao Li, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
I turned to look at Duanmu Que and said, "Xiao Que, mom said you've been cooped up at home a lot lately. Is there something on your mind? If there's something, tell me. We'll think of a solution together."
Duanmu Que was stunned. He turned his head and said softly, "No, there's nothing wrong. I'm fine."
"Do you think you can hide it from me? Is it because you want to buy the property and you feel sorry for mom and dad? If mom and dad are willing, I can find a better place for mom and dad. It's definitely better than an apartment. "
