Chapter 276 The Long Way to Chase His Wife (45)
The men are busy outside, and the two women are busy at home and in the hospital, sticking to their positions. The hospital has to take care of the mother and child, and there is a whole family at home, old and young. When there is chaos, human energy is also easy. Dispersed.
Just so carelessly, one day, Liu Yufang went home to cook, and Zhou's mother stayed in the hospital with Zhou Chengyu, who was less than two years old, to help guard Huang Lian and the baby.
Because of the long-term fatigue, Zhou's mother was also a little bit overwhelmed. Seeing the little girl and Huang Lian sleeping soundly on the bed, she felt relaxed. She hugged Zhou Chengyu and leaned against the bed, unconsciously. Just fell asleep.
When Zhou's mother woke up, she only heard little Zhou Chengyu pointing at Bai Nennen's fingers and yelling "Sister, sister", but there was only Huang Lian on the bed, and the little girl had long since disappeared. up!
More than 20 years ago, surveillance was not yet popular. When Zhou's mother woke up to look for the child, the child was already at a loss.After several turnarounds, a nurse said that she saw a woman who was indeed holding a child and hurried outside, but no one knew where she went!
In the vast sea of people, the only photo of the child is a black-and-white photo taken by someone to commemorate after birth. The only clue is that the child was wearing a small floral dress and holding an old-fashioned padded jacket when he was lost.
There is no birthmark, no special characteristics, just remember big eyes, very pink and cute, but it is not easy to find a pink and cute child in a huge country.
Of course, there is one more characteristic that cannot be changed, which is her DNA.Because Huang Lian's blood type is quite special, in our country, only one person in a thousand people has the same chance.
So, from that day on, Huang Lian joined a national volunteer blood donation group, hoping to keep her blood type in the hospital, and hoped that one day, she could meet her child again!
Zhou Chengyu took Xu Mengxin's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, and the light fragrance penetrated into his nostrils one by one, making his floating heart seem to be infected and calmed down.
"Mom, because of this incident, I have been living in peace. Although my second aunt and second uncle didn't say anything, my mother has always felt guilty. She always feels that she lost Qingchu!"
"For so many years, we have never given up looking for Qingchu, including the room she should have, and the gifts she should receive every time she celebrates her birthday, or New Year's or holidays. None of them will be less than us! Put them all away. In her room."
Zhou Chengyu said in a low voice, and then said: "Oh, the room next to Qiuqiu is usually locked, and all of us are not allowed to enter, except for the second aunt who will go in and clean it regularly."
After hearing Zhou Chengyu's words, Xu Mengxin couldn't tell what it was like in her heart. She sighed, rolled on Zhou Chengyu's lap, and sighed, "The stepmother is so pitiful! If Miss Qingchu hadn't lost her , the adoptive father and adoptive mother should be full of children and grandchildren now!"
Zhou Chengyu patted her head, and replied without thinking: "Well! Almost, Qingchu is only a little over a year younger than me!"
Zhou Chengyu's words were like rain hitting Xu Mengxin's heart, bit by bit, not big or painful, but when it fell on his heart, there was always such an indescribable discomfort.
She didn't fall asleep all night, even leaning against Zhou Chengyu's warm and spacious arms, Xu Mengxin still kept her eyes open until the early morning, and barely fell asleep in the middle of the night.
When he got up in the morning, Zhou Chengyu had already gone to work, he didn't wake her up, he just left a note, saying that he asked her to have lunch together at noon, and he would come to pick her up!
When Xu Mengxin saw this note, he wanted to laugh. At noon, his rest time was only one hour. Sometimes when he worked overtime, he even missed his lunch time. How could he still remember to pick her up for lunch at home!
Really!How can there be such a naive man!
No matter how much she scoffed in her heart, she still carefully put away the note and put it in the drawer where she usually put the note. This seemed to have become a habit of them.
Every morning, if Xu Mengxin got up late and Zhou Chengyu left first, he would not wake her up, nor would he call her, but would only leave a concise note.
And every time, she was reluctant to throw away these notes, but hid them in the bottom drawer of the bedside table!Before I knew it, there were more than 60 of them, and I don't know when they developed this habit!
These notes are like a letter of unspoken love sealed, let her see these notes, there is a sweet taste in her heart!His handwriting is powerful and beautiful, even if he has nothing to say, just looking at it is quite eye-catching!
Xu Mengxin got up in a good mood and brushed her teeth. Even though she was "ill", the Zhou family did not require her to go downstairs to have breakfast with them, but after all, it was a family, and she wanted to abide by these rules!Sweet watch!
How can a family be a family if they don't even have meal time together?
When Xu Mengxin packed herself up and walked out of the room, it was only 07:30!She thought that maybe she could go to the kitchen to help, but as soon as she walked out of the room, she saw that the usually locked door was ajar, and there seemed to be someone inside!
That was Zhou Qingchu's lost room, usually no one would enter it!
By coincidence, Xu Mengxin couldn't help but approach that side. When she got to the door, she heard faint cries coming from inside. She frowned. She opened the door and saw Huang Lian lying on Zhou Qingchu's bed. Weeping faintly on that pink bed, the voice was depressing and distressing!
Xu Mengxin wanted to leave, pretending that she had never been here before, and wanted to leave Huang Lian a quiet place to miss women, but Huang Lian's lonely back, and her faint crying made Xu Mengxin unbearable, they were already entangled Her heart has been a whole night, so she can't move the heavy steps!
Xu Mengxin didn't speak, just walked over quietly, stretched out her hand hesitantly, and patted Huang Lian's back lightly, but under her comforting, Huang Lian froze at first, then maybe knew that the person behind her was her, faintly The crying also slowly stopped!
After a long, long time, when Huang Lian had cried enough, she wiped away her tears at a loss. Looking back, seeing that the person in front of her was really Xu Mengxin, she forced a smile, "I'm sorry, Xinxin! I really made you laugh. !"
Huang Lian's eyes were red from time to time, she wiped away her tears, and when she straightened up, she seemed to have returned to the appearance of such a gentle, virtuous, amiable mother.
Such an appearance of pretending to be strong deeply entangled Xu Mengxin's heart, and made her feel even more sad for her. With a sore nose, she rushed towards her without holding back for a while, and hugged her tightly. , called out deeply, "Mother-in-law!"
She didn't know how to comfort such a miserable mother, she really didn't know!
Huang Lian treats her well, she knows it!She recognized Huang Lian as her adoptive mother because she realized Huang Lian's longing for a daughter in her heart, but she was not her own daughter after all, so she couldn't satisfy her longing for a daughter!
So what is the only thing she can do?As much as possible, Cheng Huan is under her knees?Treat yourself as her own daughter and serve her as her own mother?Maybe this one is okay!
Huang Lian probably didn't expect Xu Mengxin to act like this for a moment, she was taken aback for a moment, then the tears she just wiped fell down again, and she patted her shoulder emotionally, her throat was so choked that she couldn't say a word Come!
"Don't tell your mother-in-law what happened today. I just got the news that Chuchu had no news last night. I felt sad for a while, and I couldn't get past this barrier in my heart. That's why I did this! If you tell her , she will feel uncomfortable again, there is no need!"
After a long time, when both Xu Mengxin and Huang Lian calmed down, Huang Lian took Xu Mengxin's hand, patted it, and instructed.After all, we are a family, so we can't blame anyone for what happened back then, it could only be because the fate of the mother and daughter has not yet come, and they haven't met each other!
As long as she knows that she is still living in this world, as long as they are still alive, they will meet one day, it's just the speed of time!
Xu Mengxin knew that this was Huang Lian's heart disease, and she didn't want to add to the scar in Zhou's mother's heart, so she nodded her head vigorously and agreed.
When the two of them went downstairs to have breakfast, Mother Zhou was coming out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes. When she saw Huang Lian's red eyes, she made a guess in her heart, and the embarrassment flashed across her face. He greeted the two of them with a stiff smile, and only greeted for a while, but the test in his heart never passed, and he turned around and walked to the kitchen again!
"Oh, mom—"
Just as Xu Mengxin was about to call her, she saw Zhou's mother disappearing from the kitchen door, Huang Lian also moved her mouth, and didn't have time to say anything.
The restaurant fell silent for an instant, and everyone glanced at each other, but they didn't draw any conclusions!In the end, I could only watch my heart, bow my head and do things silently.
This family is quite harmonious, but regarding this matter, it seems that there is a lump in everyone's heart that cannot be said!When Mr. Zhou saw this scene, his gray brows could not help but wrinkle.
Xu Mengxin took a look, squeezed Huang Lian's hand suggestively, and quickly followed into the kitchen!
When she walked to the kitchen, Zhou's mother was standing in front of the glazed table, motionless, Xu Mengxin could probably guess what she was doing, walked over as if nothing had happened, and asked as usual: "Mom, the table outside is already full of things. , what do you want to move! Let me help you!"
As soon as she heard Xu Mengxin's voice, Mother Zhou wiped her eyes immediately, and stammered: "No, no need! You, you go out first!"
She turned around and didn't meet Xu Mengxin directly, she just said perfunctorily: "Go out first, I don't need your help, I'll just make some egg custard, your grandpa likes it, it'll be ready in a while! You first Get out, I can do it myself!"
As soon as Zhou's mother turned around, Xu Mengxin saw that her eyes were red, and she was even more sure of her guess just now. Zhou's mother was crying just now, and she was crying very hard!
She walked over and asked in surprise and concern: "Mom, why are your eyes red? What's the matter! Tell me! Maybe I can help you solve it!"
Xu Mengxin took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped it for her. Mother Zhou forced a smile, pushed her hand, and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, really! You go out first!"
The more she said this, the more Xu Mengxin refused to agree. While wiping the tears remaining on Zhou's mother's face, she asked sharply: "Mom, are you sad because of what happened to Miss Qing?"
Mother Zhou raised her head in surprise and asked, "You... how do you know?"
"Zhou Chengyu told me yesterday!" Xu Mengxin smiled softly, and said, "We are all a family! A family should support and bear each other's affairs, there is something that cannot be said! "
Zhou's mother seemed to be awakened by her words, and said: "Yes, a family should support each other." She leaned on the glazed platform, as if she had lost her strength, and sighed guiltily, "But what happened in Qingchu, It was my fault, and I can't forgive myself!"
Xu Mengxin took her hand, and said word by word: "Mom, what happened back then was not your fault! You shouldn't blame yourself like this! None of us want that kind of thing to happen. Our I feel very sad."
"However, many things will not happen because we don't want to happen! Because of this, the adoptive mother understands in her heart, and the adoptive father also understands in her heart! Everyone is a sensible person, and no one blames you. You Why can't you forgive yourself?"
After hearing Xu Mengxin's words, Zhou's mother was still a little uncertain, "They... really didn't blame me?"
"of course not!"
Sometimes people understand some things in their hearts. The reason why they struggle with those things is because they don’t believe in themselves. They need a firm external supporter to pull out the things they vaguely understand in their hearts and see them again. bright!
Xu Mengxin smiled, winked at her playfully, and said, "This is what my adoptive mother told me just now, don't you believe it? Neither she nor her adoptive father meant to blame you, they only said that it might be the mother The fate of women has not yet come, as long as everyone is still living in this world, then she believes that one day, they will meet each other!"
"So, this is none of your business at all. You have been blaming yourself for so many years, there is really no need! Besides, you didn't do it on purpose back then, it was just because you were too tired, didn't you?"
Xu Mengxin's words were not of that kind of theoretical reasoning, nor were they particularly firm. They referred to the usual chatting tone, but it was a subdued tone that concealed it. In Zhou's mother's ears, there was an inexplicably convincing power!
When Mother Zhou came out of the kitchen with Xu Mengxin, everyone was waiting for them. Xu Mengxin made a successful gesture to Huang Lian. Huang Lian immediately accepted it tacitly, and then asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, What did you add to your white porridge today! It smells so good!"
