Chapter 24 Family
After the phone call with Xu Junchen ended, Ji Ruoxia made another call. The last time she made this call was just two days ago, to investigate Ji Xiaohua's family background, this time to find Xu Yuqiu.
About halfway through lunch that day, Ji Xiaohua took the initiative to speak again: "Are you going home tonight?"
Ji Ruoxia knew why she would ask such a question, but she already had a plan in mind, so she didn't raise her head, and answered very simply: "I won't go back tonight, let's go in two days."
Ji Dongfan and Xu Yuqiu have been able to respect each other like guests for more than ten years since their marriage. The main reason must be Lao Ji's side.Xu Yuqiu's running away from home this time may be a good opportunity. The best result is that the relationship between the two of them will have a qualitative breakthrough compared to before.
Ji Ruoxia felt that Ji Dongfan needed some time to figure things out on his own. If she ran back to join in the fun at this time, she might not only not be able to help, but would even add to the chaos.
Ji Xiaohua's hand holding the chopsticks stopped there without moving. She looked at Ji Ruoxia for a while, and finally said what was in her heart: "Is your relationship with your family not very good?"
Ji Ruoxia also stopped picking up vegetables when she heard the words, she raised her head to look at Ji Xiaohua: "No, I have always had a good relationship with my family. Why do you think so?"
Ji Xiaohua: "When you mentioned your family just now, you gave me the feeling that you are a..."
Ji Xiaohua didn't say the following words for a long time, but Ji Ruoxia answered her: "Is it an outsider?"
Ji Xiaohua shook her head: "No, not like outsiders, but not like family either."
"Not an outsider or a family member?" Ji Ruoxia thought for a while, and thought of a relationship: "You mean... a relative?"
Ji Xiaohua nodded slowly: "Well, they seem to be relatives."
Ji Ruoxia: "How do you tell the difference between family members and relatives?"
Ji Xiaohua: "Your tone and demeanor when you spoke just now... I can't tell, it's just a feeling."
After a few seconds, Ji Ruoxia sighed lightly: "You are really sensitive."
Then the two continued to eat for a while, and when they were almost finished, Ji Ruoxia looked at Ji Xiaohua who was tidying up the lunch boxes on the table, and couldn't help but asked lightly: "Actually, it's not bad to be like relatives." ?"
Hearing the sound, Ji Xiaohua stopped her movements, raised her head to look at Ji Ruoxia, and expressed her thoughts hesitantly: "It's not bad, it's just... I think... family members are different from relatives."
Ji Ruoxia did not refute Ji Xiaohua's words, she even nodded slightly: "You are right, relatives are definitely different from family members."
While thinking about her own affairs, Ji Ruoxia also thought about what Ji Xiaohua said in the underground garage in the morning that her mother passed away when she was a child, then...
Ji Ruoxia: "How's your relationship with your father? Did he find you a stepmother after your mother left?"
Ji Xiaohua was a little confused: "Stepmother?" But then she seemed to want to understand what the word meant, she shook her head and said, "No."
Ji Ruoxia naturally asked the next sentence: "Then you must have a good relationship with your father." That's why she immediately realized that her relationship with her family was not very good.
Ji Xiaohua lowered her eyes, and said lightly: "I...Dad, he has many children, so he doesn't usually have time to take care of me."
Ji Ruoxia was shocked by Ji Xiaohua's words, not only because what she said was different from what she just thought, but also because...
"What do you mean 'having many children'? In those days, didn't a couple only have one child?" Ji Ruoxia spoke a little fast, and her voice was a little higher.
Ji Xiaohua's lowered eyes suddenly lifted up, and she blinked a few times, and then, she obviously closed her mouth tightly, obviously realizing that she had said something wrong.
Ji Ruoxia's first reaction was that this obviously violated the country's family planning policy, but then she remembered that there were not many only children among her college classmates. Among her three roommates alone, the eldest, Li Qingping, and the second, Zhu Keke, were the only ones. Each has a younger brother.She vaguely remembered that this topic was discussed in a sleepover meeting in the dormitory. What did they say at that time?If the first child is a daughter, can there be another one?
Ji Ruoxia: "You just said that your father has many children, are they mostly daughters?"
Ji Xiaohua nodded: "Yes."
Ji Ruoxia: "That's okay. Then you talk a lot, how many are there?" She thought in her heart that two should be the most common, three should not be too many, and four should be considered too many, but even if it is true Four, that's not really "a lot".
Ji Xiaohua paused for a few seconds, and finally gave a number: "Eight."
Ji Ruoxia couldn't sit still anymore, raised her voice and asked again: "How much did you say?"
Ji Xiaohua didn't answer this time.
Ji Ruoxia sat down on the sofa again, and lowered her voice: "Your mother is really capable of giving birth." Ji Xiaohua's family is indeed a big family.
Ji Xiaohua continued to remain silent.
Ji Ruoxia: "Then where do you rank in the family?"
Ji Xiaohua cherishes words like gold: "Fourth."
Ji Ruoxia: "No wonder, it's really easy to be ignored in a position that can't be up or down. Then how is your relationship with your other brothers and sisters?"
Ji Xiaohua: "The relationship is not very good, I..." In the middle of speaking, Ji Xiaohua suddenly got stuck, and made another movement to obviously close her mouth tightly.
Ji Ruoxia didn't think she would let Ji Xiaohua off this time, and hurriedly asked, "You... what? What's next?"
Ji Xiaohua hesitated to continue the second half of the sentence: "I was brought up by my uncle."
Ji Ruoxia was confused again, and it took a few seconds to think of a possibility: "So your father put you in your uncle's house because there are too many children in the family to take care of?"
Ji Xiaohua: "..."
"I'm sorry." Ji Ruoxia felt that she had just said something wrong.
Ji Xiaohua: "It's okay, actually I have a pretty good relationship with my uncle's family. My grandfather and uncle treat me very well, but..."
Speaking of this, Ji Xiaohua stopped again, and Ji Ruoxia answered her again: "It's just that people's hearts are always biased. Your uncle always treats you differently from his own children, and you can't fully integrate into your uncle's family." ?”
Ji Xiaohua nodded slightly: "Yeah." Then she looked at Ji Ruoxia and said seriously: "Sometimes he treats me better than his own children, but I don't want this, I want him to treat me and himself like a child."
Ji Ruoxia: "I understand what you mean, you think he doesn't really treat you as his family."
Ji Xiaohua: "Yes."
After being silent for a long while, Ji Ruoxia spoke again, talking about her own business: "I seem to be the exact opposite of you, my dad loves me very much, even if he is married..." Ji Ruoxia didn't know what words to use here for a while, and finally I thought of a saying that often appeared in TV dramas, "Xu Xian, yes, even if my dad married Xu Xian, he has always been the best to me." Ji Ruoxia paused for a second, then lowered her voice a little, "But I want to get myself out of there... Maybe it's not right to say that, I'll think about how to tell you."
Ji Ruoxia is still struggling with what to say about her own affairs, but Ji Xiaohua focuses on something else: "Your mother... passed away too?"
Ji Ruoxia was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Well, she had a difficult labor when she gave birth to me..."
With the beginning, the next words are easy to talk about. Ji Ruoxia slowed down a little and then said again: "My father loves my mother very much, so he loved me very much since he was a child. Although he was busy with business trips at that time, every time he came back They will bring me all kinds of gifts, and they will accompany me patiently when they go home.”
Ji Ruoxia paused at this point, and Ji Xiaohua asked: "What happened later? What happened?"
"Then one day, he suddenly told me that I would have a stepmother, and then he brought back a woman who looked very similar to my mother in the photo. I think he must have been confused by the woman's appearance Now, I might do something for her in the future, in order to prevent them from getting married, I bet against him for a long time."
This time Ji Xiaohua didn't make a sound, but quietly waited for Ji Ruoxia's next words.
"But in the end my dad married that woman. Later, when I was in junior high school, I proposed to move to live in school. I only went home once a week, and when I entered high school, I went home once a month. In this way, over the years, I have not only been far away from that woman, but also far away from my father. Although I can still feel that his love for me has never changed, and that he loves me the most, but..."
"But you always feel that there is a layer between you?" Ji Xiaohua completed what Ji Ruoxia hadn't said.
"That's right. After so many years, I seem to have gotten used to being alone, and I no longer depend on my dad like I did when I was a child. Or, on the spiritual level, I no longer depend on him at all." Speaking of which, Ji Ruoxia's eyes turned Ji Xiaohua said with a serious look: "Other people will think this is a sign of a person's growth, but only I know that this is a bit different from normal growth. Now, you can also see it."
Ji Xiaohua: "Then do you still love your dad like you did when you were a child?"
Ji Ruoxia was startled, and after a few seconds of blankness, she replied calmly: "I don't know." After she finished, she added, "Love is definitely still love."
Ji Xiaohua: "What about your stepmother? Have you always hated her?"
Ji Ruoxia: "No. At the beginning, every time I went back, I saw that the relationship between my dad and her was not very good. At that time, I always thought that they were deliberately acting for me because they were afraid of provoking me. Later, I found out about their relationship. The relationship was really bad, so I didn't hate her that much. It's just that I was used to being alone at that time, so I habitually chose to ignore it and continued to spend four years of college alone."
About halfway through lunch that day, Ji Xiaohua took the initiative to speak again: "Are you going home tonight?"
Ji Ruoxia knew why she would ask such a question, but she already had a plan in mind, so she didn't raise her head, and answered very simply: "I won't go back tonight, let's go in two days."
