Chapter 1 Get kicked out of the house

"Dear passengers, Yanling Station has arrived. Please get off as soon as possible..."

After a whole day of train, Xia Yufeng finally returned to this small county where he had lived for more than 20 years.

He got out of the car, looked at the familiar scenery in front of him, breathed the fresh air around him, and whispered the friendly local accent. He felt that everything was so beautiful, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously bent, outlining two faint smiles.

The station is only ten minutes away from home. He didn't plan to take the bus. While humming and looking around the town that had been separated for four months, he dragged a large box of clothes and walked home easily.

When I opened the door, the living room was very tidy, and the walls seemed to have been renovated, feeling much cleaner and brighter.

And the yellow leather sofa that used to make him extremely annoying. At this time, it disappeared and was replaced by a new sofa made of yellow cloth.

Looking at the new home in front of him, Xia Yufeng was particularly happy and thought to himself: It seems that the old stubborn man has finally become enlightened. It has been like this for a long time. Look, how beautiful it is.

"Mom, I'm back." Xia Yufeng, who stood at the door for a while, closed the door, put down his luggage and shouted to the kitchen.

He looked at the time and guessed that his mother Meng Qianxue should have prepared lunch in the kitchen at 12 o'clock. He is hungry and tired now, so he wants to eat a delicious meal made by Meng Qianxue and then sleep.

Xia Yufeng shouted in the room for a long time and didn't answer, and couldn't help frowning. I thought, what's the matter? Isn't my mother at home?

Xia Yufeng muttered and walked to the kitchen. There is no one in the kitchen and no room.

Where did mom go? She usually stays at home after work at this time. What's going on today?

Xia Yufeng returned to the living room disappointedly and picked up the bag on the ground into his room.

When he opened the door, he saw that his room had become different from his own. The inside is very clean and tidy. The sheets, quilt covers and so on have been changed, and even the books in the bookcase have been sorted and placed neatly. The curtains have been changed to light blue.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xia Yufeng just disappeared in an instant.

After putting things away, Xia Yufeng went out of the room, took out a bucket of instant noodles from the kitchen, took the hot water from the water dispenser and soaked it up. He was so hungry that he bumped on the train for more than ten hours and didn't eat anything.

After making noodles, he turned on the TV. CCTV 5 was broadcasting the Rockets' game against the Nuggets. He quickly brought the noodles to the coffee table, and then ate instant noodles while watching the game of his favorite Rockets.

The game was wonderful, and the Rockets' strong defense completely limited the opponent's shooting rate and scoring methods, and mastered the rhythm of the game. At the end, the Rockets won 18 points, Yao Ming scored a game-high 31 points, and McGrady took 57 points. Seeing this, Xia Yufeng, a loyal Rockets fan and NBA fan, couldn't help waving his arms and shouting.

Xia Yufeng looked at the clock on the wall, which was more than a little bit. It's so late. Why haven't my parents come back yet? Xia Yufeng is very puzzled.

At this moment, the door was opened.

"Mom, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you half... Dad." Xia Yufeng, who thought it was his mother Meng Qianxue who came back, hurried to the door and complained coquettishly. When he walked to the door, he found that it was his father Xia Mingqi, so he quickly changed his words and shouted disappointedly.

"When did you come back?" Xia Mingqi glanced at Xia Yufeng and asked with his usual indifferent expression and annoying tone.

"It's been a while since I came back, how about Mom?" Xia Yufeng also responded to him coldly. Since Xia Yufeng learned to speak, the dialogue between him and his father Xia Mingqi seemed to have always been like this, always as cold as winter.

"Your mother is gone." Xia Mingqi lowered his head and took off his shoes and replied faintly.

"Have you gone on a business trip? Where have you been?" Xia Yufeng asked in surprise.

"I don't know. I divorced your mother." When this sentence came out of Xia Mingqi's mouth, he felt so uninterested and relaxed, and he was as surprised as a bolt from the blue in Xia Yufeng's ears.

Divorce? Why? Why don't I know anything about your divorce? When can you care about my feelings? Mom, what's wrong with her? You want to abandon her. Do you look like a man? Ah!" Xia Yufeng, like a ignited explosive bag, almost roared and asked the "man" in front of him, and tortured him with resentful and angry eyes.

But in the face of Xia Yufeng's question, he was not in a hurry to explain, or he didn't want to explain at all.

He "hummed" and walked leisurely past Xia Yufeng without any interest in continuing to talk to him.

His disdainful look caused Xia Yufeng's anger to rise sharply.

Xia Yufeng immediately turned around and was ready to continue to torture this irresponsible and extremely arrogant man. But at this moment, the door behind him clicked and interrupted him.

Looking back, a lady came in outside the door. She is about 1.63 meters tall, has brown curly hair, and her well-maintained white skin slightly masked her age. She looks like a "woman" in a black professional dress.

"Mingqi, this is Xia Yufeng, right? Ha ha, Xia Yufeng, hello, I'm Xiao Nanjing, your stepmother." After changing her shoes, this strange woman who called herself Xiao Nanjing came to the living room with a smile, asked Xia Mingqi, who was sitting on the sofa with a bad face, and then looked at Xia Yufeng and said.

From the moment she came in, Xia Yufeng's eyes did not leave her. When she heard the word "desus", the anger that had been suppressed by Xia Mingqi for a long time finally broke out. It turned out that this woman drove her mother out of the house.

"Where do you go, shameless things." Xia Yufeng glared at her and scolded.

"What are you talking about? Who is shameless? Tell me clearly." Xiao Nanjing, who just smiled and was very intellectual and elegant, suddenly fell down on her face and pointed to Xia Yufeng with frowning.

"I said you are shameless and shameless. Do you understand?"

"You, you..." Xiao Nanjing blushed with anger from Xia Yufeng and took a step forward to slap him.

Xia Yufeng grabbed Xiao Jingnan's slightly falling slap, did not make any unnecessary consideration, freed her other hand, and slapped her loudly from left to right. One is for Meng Qianxue and the other is for himself.

After the "pop", Xiao Nanjing's face immediately turned red.

Xia Yufeng, who was extremely angry, did not feel that it was not 'man' and disgraceful to beat a woman, but wanted to slap her again.

When he raised his hand again to hit the shameless woman, his hand was blocked by the other hand in the air. Before he could react, the powerful recoil knocked him down on the sofa next to him.

"What are you doing, ah! Useless things, dare to beat people. Let's see how I teach you a lesson." After saying that, a big hand landed on Xia Yufeng's face and firmly took root. Then on his body, on his legs... In the middle, Xia Yufeng did not resist, but stared at him fiercely. After a while, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, his face became red and swollen, and his body felt like he was about to fall out.

Xia Yufeng knew that he was injured and bled. But he didn't feel pain at all, but had a strange pleasure. This pleasure comes from the betrayal of family affection and a kind of self-resolve after the break. This is the end of bullying and the beginning of revenge.

"Get out of here immediately and find your stinky mother. It won't be your home anymore. You beast, get out of here, get out of here!"

After saying that, he quickly ran to Xia Yufeng's room and took out the luggage he had just put in and threw it out of the door. Then he turned around and held his collar with one hand, hurriedly dragged him out of the door and pushed him with both hands. Then with a bang, he closed the door fiercely.

Xia Yufeng curled up in the narrow aisle at the door, and it seemed that tens of millions of ants were biting. The pain made him gritt his teeth and blue veins under his scalp burst out. He just gritted his teeth in pain without tears. No matter how painful the body is, there is no deep and violent pain in the heart. He stood up with pain, slowly picked up the underground bag, and walked down step by step on the railing of the stairs.

And I usually scold the too crowded corridor, but at this moment I feel so spacious that my eyes can't be perpendicular to the ground. The cracks everywhere made the sight painful.

When he walked slowly to the gate of the community, Xia Yufeng ignored the questioning eyes of the gatekeeper, nor did he answer the "passionate" aunt's "concern". He was stubborn and indifferently embedded in the street.

He walked along the main road like this, without purpose and direction. With a blank face, he was extremely calm. Xia Yufeng didn't know what he should think and do. He didn't want to think too much about the scene that just happened, and even felt that crying was superfluous. In the face of a person who has never faced himself and affirmed his father for more than 20 years, Xia Yufeng's feelings for him are the same as strangers, so he is not sad and sad at all when he thinks about his scolding and beatings carefully. Since childhood, Xia Yufeng has been accustomed to this kind of scolding and beating.

Like a mummified corpse, roaming on the street, the trees on both sides of the road are retreating little by little, and Xia Yufeng's feelings for this family are retreating. Gradually, the sky darkened. He looked at the gray sky and a sneer appeared at the corners of his mouth. A gust of wind blew, and a few long-eyed sands ran into his eyes, blinking up and down, trying to remove them, but forced tears. Tears dripping down his cheeks. Finally, the tears couldn't stop surging, and the crystal tears fell down and penetrated into the ground and disappeared.

At this moment, he lost his voice.
