Four days have passed, and Zhou Jinxing has no news at all.

Ding Xiaowei had already gone to the police station, but except for one name, he was a work unit with no idea what kind of hometown, age, and could not even provide a photo. The police had nothing to say except for preparing a case for him perfunctorily.

Ding Xiaowei was also in a daze when he was at work. He had always been a steadily driving and had been rear-ended with the stroller in front when he was carrying the boss.

The boss was so angry that he was very angry, but fortunately he got into the insurance car and didn't ask him to compensate. Seeing Ding Xiaowei as if he was lost, he didn't dare to take his car anymore and gave him three days off.

Ding Xiaowei returned home in the afternoon. Before Lingling had finished school, he looked at the empty house, which was not popular at all, and couldn't help crying.

The helplessness and sadness in his heart were unable to tell anyone, and no one could help him.

He missed Zhou Jinxing so much, and was worried that he was almost crazy, but he didn't know where to get even a little news.

The man just disappeared, and nothing seemed to prove that he had been here except for what he had left at home.

He remembered that when his wife left, he looked at the home he had been free for the afternoon, and his little daughter who was blinking and was confused. He was also like now, helpless and confused. He thought he could adapt to being alone, but Zhou Jinxing's rash appearance was appropriate and he left rashly, which gave him another heavy blow.

In the past six months, he was like a dream. He was happy with a man, he liked this man, he wanted to live with this man for the rest of his life, and he had experienced all the things he had never thought about for more than 30 years. Now he is left alone, what's the matter?

Ding Xiaowei cried with his head in his arms.

He was really unwilling to give up. If he hadn't left that day, would Zhou Jinxing still be at home now? He could smell the smell of rice as soon as he entered the door, and could see his back that was always straight.

Could it be that Ding Xiaowei failed so much and could not keep others? He had a clear conscience to Lingling's mother or Zhou Jinxing, but they all ran away one by one and left him in the same place.

What is wrong with him? What is wrong with him? There can’t be someone who is willing to live a peaceful life with him. Is it a lifetime?

Ding Xiaowei felt so heartbroken that he was almost breathless. He had to pass alone in the future. What about Lingling? What about Lingling? She asked her Uncle Zhou when she would come back every day. Yesterday, she cried and made a fuss to ask Uncle Zhou. Why did he explain to Lingling? Can she tell her that Uncle Zhou doesn’t want us anymore, just like your mother?

Ding Xiaowei was feeling uncomfortable, his phone rang, and Ding Xiaowei turned a deaf ear. He didn't pick it up until the second time it rang.

He got up and took a look, and unexpectedly found it was a fucking phone call.

Zhan Jiyu has been calling him and sending text messages these two days, but he has not replied to any of them. Although he knew that Zhan Jiyu could not blame him for this, he still felt that if it weren't for him, Zhou Jinxing would not have left.

He blew his nose and answered the phone.

"Xiaowei, where are you at work?"

"Hey, mom, I'm not busy, you said."

"Oh, I want to go see you and my granddaughter. Isn't tomorrow Saturday? I'll go tonight and will arrive tomorrow morning."

"Mom, don't come. It will take seven hours to take the train. I'm so tired. I'm afraid you can't stand it. It's 11th soon. I'll take Lingling home at that time."

"You have to come back on the 11th. This time, it's a coincidence that the boy from the Zhao family is going to do your business. The young men took turns driving there and took me with me. When I go back, I will take their car back. Isn't this a save on the ticket? I haven't seen you for half a year. I don't want you, I just miss my granddaughter."

Ding Xiaowei forced a few laughs. He still didn't want his mother to come here at this time. He was in a bad mood now, afraid that the old lady would see something.

"Mom, it's even more tiring to ride a car. You'd better forget it. We'll go back on the 11th, which will only take a month to come."

The old lady was quite stubborn, "No, I just want to go here and take a look now. It's rare to have this opportunity. Why not? Besides, your mother is in good health. This distance is not a problem. Just wait and answer me tomorrow morning. I'll call you Xiao Zhao and tell him your address..."

Ding Xiaowei hung up the phone and lay on his back on the sofa, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

He looked at his watch and it was almost time to pick up Lingling.

He stood up, walked to the bathroom staggeringly, poured water on his face a few times, looked at his haggard face and swollen eyes in the mirror, and felt endless sadness in his heart.

But he couldn't be sad enough. No matter who left, he had to take care of his life. He had a child and he didn't have time to be sad for himself.

Early the next morning, Ding Xiaowei went to take the old lady back.

The old lady didn't get enough rest all night and looked a little tired, but she was very energetic. As soon as she entered the room, she headed straight to Lingling's room, looking happy.

Lingling was so happy when she saw her grandmother, she pestered her to eat braised pork.

The old lady is old and has not learned sign language very well. She has to guess what Lingling gestures mean, but she still has fun chatting with each other.

This was the first time that Lingling smiled after Zhou Jin walked for so many days. Ding Xiaowei saw it and felt very sad.

The old lady has been diligent all her life and can't stay idle anywhere. After cooking for them, she started to clean up the house for Ding Xiaowei, while cleaning up, saying, "You, when will you find me a daughter-in-law? Look, I feel wronged for my granddaughter, and she is thin..."

Ding Xiaowei was still absent-minded and almost didn't listen.

"I heard that our hometown is going to open a deaf and dumb school. If there is a deaf and dumb school, you can come back. There are so many good people there, and they all can live. You said that when will you be able to survive in this big city? The women in the city have a high vision and are hard to find... You can't cook and wash clothes since you were a child. Lingling followed you and will definitely deal with it. I feel uncomfortable when I think about it."

Ding Xiaowei thought about how well they were taken care of when Zhou Jinxing was there, and his nose became sore.

When the old lady saw that he didn't speak, she thought she was annoyed with nagging, and sighed and stopped talking.

When I cleaned the bathroom, I said "Huh", "Xiaowei, why are the towels, toothbrushes and other things in your bathroom double?"

Ding Xiaowei came to his senses, said "ah", and suddenly became nervous.

The old lady rushed out with joy between her eyebrows and eyes, "Don't hide it from your mother, are you having a good relationship?"

Ding Xiaowei took the toothbrush from her hand awkwardly, "Mom, no, it's my friend. I've been here to stay for a few days, man."

The old lady looked at him suspiciously and muttered, "Don't tell the truth." Then she shouted to the outside, "Lingling, come here."

Ding Xiaowei looked at Lingling running in with some nervousness.

The old lady asked Lingling if any aunt had ever been here.

Lingling shook her head and started talking about her Uncle Zhou.

The old lady said strangely: "Uncle Zhou? Is he really an uncle?"

Ding Xiaowei was amused and crying: "Mom, it's really uncle."

Lingling suddenly felt emotional. She curled her mouth and wanted to cry. She pulled her grandmother's sleeve to ask Uncle Zhou.

Ding Xiaowei brought her over and shouted in a low voice: "Lingling."

The old lady glared at him and pulled her granddaughter over, "The granddaughter is not afraid, tell her grandma."

Lingling started to tell her grandmother that Uncle Zhou was so good, she knew how to cook, played with her, and taught him how to do his homework. After that, she cried and said that Uncle Zhou would not come back.

Ding Xiaowei endured the discomfort and forced himself to smile: "Mom, my friend can coax the child. Lingling has a good relationship with him. It's okay, a child, I forgot it in a short time."

The old lady said strangely: "Have your friend lived here for quite a long time?"

"Well, it's about a month." Ding Xiaowei said lightly.

The old lady didn't take it seriously and just rushed to coax her granddaughter to go.

Ding Xiaowei was at a loss. He just wanted to find a place to cry, and he should do whatever he should do after crying, but now he really couldn't hold on.

Ding Xiaowei said "Go to the toilet" and was about to go out. At this time, the doorbell rang.

Ding Xiaowei went out to open the door. It was Zhan Jiyu outside, looking angry. When he saw him, he asked in a scattered manner, "Why don't you answer the phone? It's been several days since you thought something happened to you. I'm so anxious."

Ding Xiaowei looked at him and felt unhappy. Naturally, he would not give him a good face. His eyelids drooped and looked at him, "What's the matter?"

Zhan Jiyu looked at him in confusion, "Uncle Ding, what's wrong with you? It seems something is wrong."

Ding Xiaowei looked at him binily and said, "Zhou Jinxing is gone."

Zhan Jiyu said in surprise: "What? Your wife is gone?"

"Fuck you whisper!" Ding Xiaowei pushed him out the door, slammed the door, and said gritting his teeth.

Zhan Jiyu widened her eyes, "Uncle Ding, why is it missing?"

Ding Xiaowei's shoulders collapsed and he said in a deep voice: "I went to find you that day. He was angry and never came back."

Zhan Jiyu looked at him in disbelief, "But...why, but...he just got angry..."

Ding Xiaowei growled, "How the hell do I know? He can leave for this little trouble. He can't find anyone anywhere, there is no news, and he doesn't bring anything. Wherever he can go, he just has a little ticket and doesn't even have a certificate. You said he can go there." In the end, Ding Xiaowei squatted down and his voice was even more swallowed.

Zhan Jiyu also squatted down and looked at him at a loss, "Ding...Uncle Ding, I say this because I...I, I'm sorry for you, I, I'll help you find him, I, I'm really sorry for you."

Ding Xiaowei sniffed, "You can't rely on you, forget it, I've searched all the places I can find, and I've called the police. It's useless. If he wants to come back, where can I go to find him."

"You go to his house, where is he from? He must have a relative and friend. It's impossible for him to not contact them for the rest of his life."

Ding Xiaowei shook his head, "I don't know, I don't know anything."

"How can you know nothing? If you don't know nothing, you'll just go with him? You'll live with him?"

Ding Xiaowei looked at the ground blankly.

Yes, he didn't know anything about Zhou Jinxing, so he just got along with him. Now that he has left, he doesn't know who to settle the score.

Zhan Jiyu patted his shoulder and said anxiously: "Brother Ding, don't be sad, can I help you find him? We must find him."

Ding Xiaowei was about to open his mouth and say something when the door suddenly opened from inside. The old lady and Lingling both poked their heads out and looked at the two people squatting on the ground in confusion.

Ding Xiaowei stood up and shouted uncomfortably, "Mom."

The old lady looked at him, then looked at Zhan Jiyu who was staring at her with her mouth open, "Xiaowei, who is this kid? Why don't you come in?"

Ding Xiaowei pulled Zhan Jiyu from the ground, "Oh, this is...my friend's younger brother, Xiao Zhan, this is my mother."

"Hey, aunty, aunty."

The old lady smiled and said, "Hello, come in quickly, why are you squatting outside?"

Lingling also looked at Zhan Jiyu curiously. Zhan Jiyu looked at Lingling and smiled and said, "You are Lingling, hello."

Lingling smiled at him, then hid shyly behind her grandmother.

Ding Xiaowei asked Zhan Jiyu into the house. The old lady was busy pouring tea and cutting fruit for him, and then asked him indirectly if there were any suitable people around him.
