C95 Her body was shaking slightly …

"Son, are you not feeling well? Should I take a leave of absence? " Fang Hepian caressed Ding Zhihua's head and asked.

"No, I'll be right down. You can go down first. Has Zi An gone to school yet? " Ding Zhihua asked.

"Your father sent him there. Zi An was very obedient, he washed his face and brushed his teeth for breakfast in the morning. He said Mom and Dad are lazy, they haven't woken up even when the sun's up in their butts! " Fang Hepian said with a smile.

She saw that Ding Zhihua had a trace of a smile on his face.

"Hurry up and come down. The steamed buns will get cold later." Fang Hepian said.

"Alright, I'll wash up and then come down." Ding Zhihua said as he put on his clothes.

Fang Hepian walked out of the room and saw Du Ruiqi coming out of the bathroom.

"Mom, have you eaten yet? Where's Zi An? " Du Ruiqi asked.

"I'm done eating, Grandpa Zi An led me to school." Fang Hepian said.

"Alright, I'll be right down." Du Ruiqi said.

Fang Hepian went to the first floor and heated up the porridge and buns again before scooping out two boiled eggs from the pot and placing them on a plate.

Du Ruiqi took her bag and closed the door, just as she was about to go downstairs. When she turned around, he saw that Ding Zhihua had already put on his clothes and was about to go wash up.

Ding Zhihua saw that she seemed to be stunned for a moment, his lips moved, and said: "I was too agitated last night, I'm sorry to say such things that I shouldn't have said!"

What? Du Ruiqi looked at Ding Zhihua, and almost couldn't believe her own ears.

Was he apologizing to her? How is this possible? But she clearly heard him say the words "I'm sorry"!

"Zhihua, get up. I slept well yesterday, didn't you? " Du Ruiqi asked with a smile.

"Not bad." He lowered his head.

Du Ruiqi walked over and wrapped both of his arms around his arms, then looked at him and said: "Zhihua, for Zi An, for mother, for this family, let's just live a good life, okay?"

"En!" Ding Zhihua nodded his head, as though his eyes were filled with tears.

"Go wash up, I'll wait for you to come down, right?" Du Ruiqi said.

"No need, you can go down to eat first, I still have a little while." Ding Zhihua said.

"Alright, I'll be going now. Come down quickly." After Du Ruiqi finished speaking, he walked downstairs.

Seeing the breakfast Grandma had prepared, Du Ruiqi felt very warm in her heart.

Grandma was the best mother-in-law in the world.

"Mom, Zhihua just said 'sorry' to me." Du Ruiqi smiled and said to his mother-in-law.

"Really? That's great. You see, Zhihua loves you from the bottom of his heart. " Fang Hepian pulled Du Ruiqi's hand and said, "Child, don't bother with him. If you live a good life, our family will be happier than anyone else!"

"I will. Mom, don't worry!" Du Ruiqi said.

"Alright, hurry up and eat the eggs. It's still warm. I'll get you some porridge. " Fang Hepian said, and went to get a bowl.

"No need, Mom. I'll do it myself." Du Ruiqi immediately took the bowl from her, "It's already hard for you to wake up early in the morning to cook breakfast for us. I'll be home for the next weekend to make breakfast, and you can sleep in! "

"Hur Hur Hur, isn't it natural to cook breakfast for your family? You young people are busy with your work, so I am leaving now. Since I am unable to serve the country, I will properly serve the family. As long as you are all happy, I am willing to do anything. " Fang Hepian said with a smile. Du Ruiqi's few words made her feel that it was very considerate, this wife was really good!

Du Ruiqi was almost done eating when she came down from the stairs.

His eyes were puffy.

"Son, what's wrong?" Fang Hepian asked with concern.

"Nothing, I probably didn't sleep well!" Ding Zhihua said.

"Go home at noon and have a good rest. Come, have some water first. " Fang Hepian passed him a cup of warm water.

Ding Zhihua only took a small sip. Then he sat down and ate some porridge and steamed buns and scrambled eggs.

After Du Ruiqi finished eating, she went to work first.

Ding Zhihua continued to eat slowly, as if he had finished eating for a very long time. Then he got up and went to work.

When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Goodbye, Mom!"

"Oh, good! Come back at noon and have a good rest! " Fang Hepian said as she walked over.

Closing the door, Fang Hepian felt that Ding Zhihua was different today. He would usually go out and rarely said goodbye to his mother. In the morning, she even told Rui Qi that she was sorry and that she was worried about Zi An coming to school.

Fang Hepian walked into the living room, picked up her bag, and walked towards the market with a heavy heart.

Du Ruiqi came to the office and started to work hard again.

She was still thinking about the question about dropping out of junior high school. If she did not investigate this question, she would not be able to free herself from it.

Therefore, she began to search for relevant information and prepared to report to Yu Shaofeng, specially doing research and research in this area.

Ding Zhihua seemed to have groggily come to the unit and sit in his own office. He was in a daze, his head buzzing. Fortunately, this kind of mechanical work was very easy. On normal days, other than receiving jobs, all they did was write materials. Sometimes you don't have to do a specific thing for a week.

Throughout the entire morning, no one came to find Ding Zhihua for anything.

In the afternoon, Ding Zhihua did not go home, nor did he eat.

Late autumn noon, the sun is very bright, on the body warm. Yu He had already started to enter the dry season, the water in the river had been reduced by half, the beaches were all exposed. All that was left was the silver, brocade river, which shone golden in the sunlight.

The fields in the distance were golden, and it was the year's harvest time.

That's right, it was a refreshing autumn day, and the fragrance of fruits wafted through the air! What a beautiful season, what beautiful years!

However, the current Ding Zhihua, who was watching all these, didn't feel the slightest happiness in his life. On the contrary, he felt such despair, such pain …

Many of the truths of life, if only they could be covered up for the rest of their lives without being discovered, how wonderful it would be! Why was he always exposing himself naked? Why did he have to let him know? Mother said that Rui Qi was a good woman, yes, she was indeed a good woman, but she could still hold onto this marriage and protect the integrity of Ding Family when facing such a useless man! His mother said that she was not easy, yes, she was not easy at all. A woman who fought in the government, without courage and ability, would not be able to easily get along with others … But am I that easy? I clearly knew that she was stealing from outside, but I had to pretend that I didn't know anything. I knew that my son wasn't mine, but I had to be even more intimate with him than if he were my own … Why? Why do I have to live in such a pathetic state? Why should I suffer such humiliation? Why can't I choose the life I want...

Once upon a time, he had stood here and wanted to jump down and finish it off. But today, that thought had appeared once again in his mind. Looking at the shallow Yu He water, he thought that it might not be enough to drown him to death. Moreover, this kind of death was too disgraceful, saying it out loud would ruin his mother's reputation …

He shook the tears from his face and eyes, suddenly amused. There was almost no one around Yu He in the afternoon. If he were to jump down now, he would definitely be done with it. He was actually thinking about his mother's face and how shameful it would be for him to die … How ridiculous!

He hurried down the steps to the center of the river.

The silt on the beach was sticky and stained with the soles of his shoes. His feet were getting heavier and heavier...

Just as he was about to enter the water, he suddenly stopped. Was he really going to make sure that his mother couldn't even find his corpse? That would be too cruel! He disappeared from here today, and tomorrow, everyone in Yu He would know that Fang Hepian's son jumped into the river and committed suicide … Mom is so strong and decent, can she still live …

He couldn't help but sigh towards the sky, tears once again gushing out …

After a long time, he withdrew his footsteps, walked up to a flight of steps, and carefully cleaned the mud off his shoes.

After wiping away the tears on his face, he walked back to work with heavy steps.

As he passed by a drugstore, he hesitated for a moment before walking in …

At night, Fang Hepian prepared food and waited for Du Ruiqi and Ding Zhihua to come back for dinner.

Zi An was hungry, but he gave Zi An food to eat first.

Not long later, Du Ruiqi returned. She was extremely happy to see Zi An eating by herself.

"Your baby eats by herself. It tastes so good. Can you give your mom a bite to eat?" Du Ruiqi stuck close to Zi An's face and said intimately.

"Okay, Zi An will feed Mom!" Zi An said as he placed a spoonful of rice into Du Ruiqi's mouth.

Du Ruiqi opened her mouth wide, and took the spoon that Zi An gave him.

"Delicious!" Du Ruiqi said, "The baby eats by herself, eats more, eats more vegetables, and grows tall and handsome!"

"Our teacher said the same thing." Zi An said as he looked at Du Ruiqi.

"Un, after your baby finishes eating, tell mom a story, okay?" Du Ruiqi rubbed his son's head and said.

"Alright!" Zi An said happily.

Du Xiu looked at her father-in-law and asked, "Dad, Mom, Zhihua said he won't come back to eat?"

"No phone call. I don't know if I'll be able to come back, this kid." Fang Hepian said, "Let's eat first, otherwise the food will get cold."

"Let's wait. Let's wait for Zhihua to come back." He should be home when he doesn't call. Let's wait a bit longer. " Du Ruiqi said.

Thus, everyone waited for a long time, but Ding Zhihua still did not come back.

"Eat! Eating something that's cold is not good for your stomach!" Fang Hepian said, "When Zhi Hua comes back, I will cook some noodles for him."

Only then did Du Ruiqi pick up the bowl of rice and start eating. She felt hungry to the point that her chest was stuck to her back.

Until the family finished their meal and received their chopsticks, Ding Zhihua had not come back yet.

Fang Hepian could not sit still. She went to the door and looked out, hoping that her son would appear in her sight at once.

Finally, under the orange light, Ding Zhihua walked over with a long shadow. His body was shaking.
