When the magic stick summons cute pets

Seeing Xu Laidi leave, Xu Zhaodi held the water glass whose temperature was getting colder in her hand, and felt that her heart was gradually cooling down with the temperature in the water glass.

Could it be that their fate really can only be like this?Is their value really reflected in the sex of the children they bear?

Xu Zhaodi felt that she couldn't accept it.

As a woman, she can become a mother because of love and responsibility—but she really can't accept that she will be reduced to a reproductive tool just because she has one more uterus than a man!

She lay on the hospital bed and thought about it a lot, but before she could come up with a result, she heard a "squeak" from the other side of the hospital bed, and it was her husband who came over with an insulated box.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, you're hungry." The man put the heat preservation box on the table, walked over and carefully helped Xu Zhaodi sit up from the hospital bed, "Mom is still cooking crucian carp soup for you at home, just watching It's on fire. She said that she was afraid of starving his eldest grandson, so she asked me to bring you food first to fill your stomach. You see, they are all your favorite dishes, and my mother specially made them for you. "

While talking, the other end opened the insulated box neatly, took out the meals inside and put them on the small foldable table in front of Xu Zhaodi, and said with a smile: "After you finish eating, I will The crucian carp soup that mom made will be ready, I will ask my mother to bring it to you, and you can drink some more."

Xu Zhaodi was worried about something, and now she looked a little silent when she looked at her husband.

"These few dishes are enough. Mom doesn't have to bring that soup, so I can keep it at home and drink it with my dad." Her voice was muffled, "You know, I don't like fish soup. Especially After pregnancy, every time my mother made crucian carp soup, just smelling that smell made me feel congested."

"How can I do that?" The man immediately laughed. He sat beside Xu Zhaodi and said, "Mom made this for you herself. It took so much thought. How can you be so ignorant? And my mother said , Crucian carp soup promotes milk, after drinking it is the best for feeding our son in the future, if you drink more now, the milk will be sufficient in the future, so that our son can grow fatter and whiter."

"Son, son, son! You know son!"

As soon as the voice on the other end fell, Xu Zhaodi, who had been silent here, suddenly spoke violently.The emotions that have been suppressed in Xu Zhaodi's heart all the year round finally burst out at this moment. She clenched her fist and hit the words on the quilt, her voice was a little excited, "eating, drinking soup, sleeping... everything is for my son! You see me Yet?"

Xu Zhaodi has always been restrained and docile, but when she broke out suddenly, the man beside her couldn't help being stunned for a while.

The man frowned, as if he wanted to get angry, but his eyes fell on her protruding belly, he reached out and touched her belly gently, and the anger in his voice was suppressed again: "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" You are such an adult, how can you be jealous with our unborn son?"

"Jealous?" Xu Zhaodi looked at her husband with a bit of obscurity in her eyes, "Do you think I'm just jealous now?"

The impatience suppressed by the man's brows became heavier. He reached out to pick up the bowl, and made a gesture to feed Xu Zhaodi who was on the bed: "Daughter-in-law, be good. I know that women are in a bad mood when they are pregnant. You are emotionally unstable at this time." It's normal, and I won't blame you."

"But no matter what, your health is important at this time, our son can't be hungry. You should eat your meal first, okay?"

It was obviously the most familiar face on the pillow, but now she looked at Xu Zhaodi, but she didn't know why she looked a little hideous. She stretched out her hand and pushed the man over, threw all the food on the folding table in front of her to the ground, and shouted Said: "I don't want to eat! I said I don't want to eat!"

The food was spilled all over the floor, and part of the vegetable juice splashed onto the corner of the man's clothes. The man finally couldn't help it, clenched his molars, raised his hand and slapped Xu Zhaodi, his voice was angry: "You are good!" What are you crazy about?"

After being slapped, Xu Zhaodi turned her face to one side and was quiet for a while, then she suddenly laughed softly: "Yeah, why am I so crazy."

She looked up at the man, and suddenly said, "Master, I want to ask you something."

After all, she is the wife who is about to give birth to a big fat boy for him. Seeing her looking at him with her belly upright, and a bright red slap mark on her fair face that is very swollen, she couldn't help feeling a little bit for a while. guilt.

"Ask what?" He cleared his throat, sat down, rubbed her face lightly with his fingers, and said again: "Hey, I didn't mean you, you know that my temper usually explodes. You used to be so angry Hey, I never deliberately made me angry, what happened today?——Hey, does it hurt?"

Xu Zhaodi didn't answer his last question, she just looked at the man and asked word by word: "If I go into the delivery room tomorrow, the doctor tells you that the child and I can only live one...you choose to save me?" who?"

After finishing speaking, he blinked his eyes and corrected lightly: "No, it should be 'my son and I can only live one'. Who do you choose to save?"

The man was taken aback by this question, his eyes flickered slightly, he looked away slightly and frowned and said, "What kind of problem is this? It doesn't make any sense... Now that medical technology is so advanced, it's just a matter of having a baby." , how is it possible that 'only one can live'?"

Xu Zhaodi was not satisfied with the answer: "So? Who would you choose?"

The man looked at Xu Zhaodi again, frowning slightly: "Daughter-in-law, I think something is wrong with you today, are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Zhaodi and him looked at each other for a while, then sighed deeply.She lowered her eyes slightly and touched her belly, feeling the vibrant little life inside from the fetal movement that came from time to time.

"My mother told you that we went to find a celestial master to tell our fortune this morning, right?"

The man nodded, and put his hand on her stomach: "So you've got a boy baby?"

Xu Zhaodi nodded, and said: "But it's more than that." She said slowly, "The celestial master told me that the child in my belly came in response to everyone's wishes. My fate may beat me."

The man sneered: "Isn't this what a typical charlatan would say?" He said disdainfully, "Is there going to be a spell for you later on, saying that as long as I can do anything, I can help you get through this disaster safely?"

Xu Zhaodi didn't follow suit, she looked at the man and said, "It's better to believe it than to believe it. You believe that the child he counted for me is a boy, why don't you believe this part again?"

The man had nothing to do with her question, so he could only compromise and said: "Then tell me, that cheat... What did the celestial master tell you about the solution?"

Xu Zhaodi fumbled in her pocket for a while, and handed the talisman that was folded into a triangular shape to the man: "The Heavenly Master said, as long as you burn this talisman to ashes and drink it with water on the day of my delivery, you will be fine." Can keep our mother and child safe."

The man took the triangular-shaped talisman, and the distrust in his eyes grew stronger: "Isn't this really a liar?"

Xu Zhaodi smiled slightly: "No matter what, it's just for our peace of mind."

The man thought for a while, and then asked: "Drinking this talisman paper ash, won't it cause any burden to the body?"

Xu Zhaodi shook her head: "The heavenly master said, you are a man with a strong yang energy, and you will only have diarrhea a few times at most."

The man's frowning relaxed, he casually put the triangular talisman into his pocket, nodded and replied, "Then I'll drink it. For the safety of both of you, mother and child, what's the point of diarrhea a few times?" What about the relationship?"

Xu Zhaodi was leaning on the hospital bed. She was pregnant and was already tired. After a series of disputes just now, she felt even more exhausted now.

She half-lyed down, leaned on the bed, looked sideways at the man, and after a while, repeated the question again: "Honey, you haven't answered me what I asked you just now."

"If you had no choice but to choose between my son and me to survive, who would you choose?"

"Of course I choose you, what are you talking about?" The man didn't hesitate this time, he reached out and touched Xu Zhaodi's face, "You are my only wife. I can conceive again when my son is gone, but my wife You are the only one I have."

"yes."

Xu Zhaodi said softly, with no expression on her face whether she believed it or not, she moved down and lay down completely again.

"I'm very tired now, so let me sleep for a while. If Mom brings crucian carp soup, you can drink it for me. I really don't want to drink that."

After all, she was pregnant with their Zhang family's son, even though she was not very comfortable with Xu Zhaodi's "proud" man, but after thinking about it for a while, she finally didn't say anything to her, and took the broom silently And the dustpan cleaned up the previously overturned meals.

And outside the window of the hospital bed, an almost completely transparent Thousand Paper Crane lay on the window sill and recorded almost everything in the ward faithfully. Then, the red light in the eyes flashed slightly, and then flew away in an instant. went elsewhere.

On the other side, it was almost one o'clock when Xu Laidi rushed home from Xu Zhaodi's place.

Her husband was taking a lunch break in the room, while the father-in-law and mother-in-law stayed outside to watch TV.Xu Laidi changed her shoes and went into the room. Looking at them, she forced a smile on her face and quickly asked, "Dad, Mom, have you eaten yet?"

The little old lady over there slightly raised her eyes to look at her, and snorted unhappily: "If we don't eat, can we still expect you to come back to cook? You don't want to check the time yourself. Waiting for you, wouldn't we starve to death?"

Xu Laidi didn't dare to contradict her, so she could only laugh along with her and said, "My sister is really short of manpower, so I delayed a little bit. Her due date is just two days away, just finish her work in these two days."

The little old lady snorted coldly again, turned her eyes back to the TV and said in a neutral voice, "I just hope your sister will be more upbeat, don't be like you, losing money one after another. Like you Yes, our family Qian Hao married you, that would really be bad luck for eight lifetimes."

When Xu Laidi heard this, her eyelids drooped and she remained silent.

She bypassed the two people in the living room, walked to the kitchen by herself, warmed up the leftovers and ate the leftovers, and silently cleaned all the pots and pans in the large pool.

When he returned to the room after washing the dishes, Qian Hao had already got up, and while putting on his clothes, he glanced at Xu Laidi, his voice mixed with a little indifference: "Why are you only here now?"

Xu Laidi is obviously used to her husband's attitude, she said in a low voice: "You also know that the hospital in the city is a bit far from home, and you have to transfer to another station by bus. If you don't pay attention, it will be this time."

The other end was obviously dissatisfied with this explanation, he straightened his cuffs, frowned and said: "You and your sister are already married and have become two families, why does their family always ask you to help? You know that your daughter needs someone to pick her up when she goes to school, but you always stay there, do you still want our parents to pick up your daughter for you?"

Xu Laidi's lips trembled, she looked at the other end, and asked softly after a while: "'Your daughter', 'Your daughter', yes, even one of them is my daughter, but isn't this your old money? Did you grow it at home?"

Qian Hao glanced at her impatiently; "I just said that casually, are you really holding on to these words?" Glancing at his watch, he said, "Okay, I'm off to run business , you can go and send Dabao to school later. Don’t just think about things by yourself, just do what you should do like a woman.”

With that said, he hurried out the door with his briefcase in hand.

Xu Laidi stared blankly at the back of the person who left without looking back, sighed for a long time, and then went to look at the daughters' room next door.

Because the area of ​​the house is too small, there is really no extra space for the child, so after his daughter was born, they just used cardboard to separate a small space in the master bedroom for the daughter as a bedroom.

The space was too small, and it was almost impossible to just place an iron bed with upper and lower bunks less than one meter wide and two meters long.

Xu Laidi opened the door, and the cramped space in the room made her slightly uncomfortable to breathe.She stood at the door and called her eldest daughter's name a few times, only to hear the sound of getting dressed, and then a little girl carefully climbed down from the upper bed along the handrail, and reached Xu Laidi in two steps. In front of her, she timidly called out: "Mom."

It was an extremely thin child with thin limbs, and his hair was slightly yellow due to lack of nutrition. He seemed to be two years younger than other children of the same age.

Xu Laidi reached out to touch her head, and asked in a low voice, "Have you eaten at noon?"

The little girl nodded and replied softly: "I saved a piece of cake from the school breakfast and brought it back. At noon, grandma served me gruel for the night." Added, "That cake is delicious, I'm already full."

Xu Laidi looked at the eldest daughter who was a little too sensible, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.She reached out and touched the top of her eldest daughter's head, then walked over to look at her younger daughter who was lying on the lower bunk.

She was sleeping peacefully at the moment, but her small brows were slightly frowned, as if she was not sleeping peacefully.

Xu Laidi gently kissed the face of the sleeping younger daughter, and then said to the elder daughter who had packed up, "Where is my sister, did grandma let my sister eat?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded obediently: "Father gave me a bowl of rice cereal, and asked me to feed it to my sister and eat it."

Xu Laidi took the little girl's little hand, and praised softly: "Xiao Yu is awesome, you already know how to take care of your sister."

Qian Yu pursed his lips and smiled, his face seemed to be illuminated by the sun, with a faint brilliance on his face.

She looked up to Xu Laidi and said: "She is my younger sister." Then she whispered, "I like my younger sister."

Xu Laidi's heart tightened again, and it took a long time before she said in a hoarse voice: "Well, then you must be a good sister and take good care of your sister."

Qian Yu nodded vigorously, carrying her small schoolbag, took Xu Laidi's hand and left the room.

"Mom, I'll take Dabao to school and I'll be right back."

In the living room, the two of them were still watching the TV, but they didn't give a single look when they heard the movement.Xu Laidi pursed her lips, didn't say any more, took her daughter's little hand and hurried out the door.

The sun was shining brightly on the road, and it made people feel a little hot on the body.

Qian Yu took Xu Laidi's hand and walked on the road leading to the school.After walking for some time, she suddenly raised her little head to look at Xu Laidi beside her and said, "Mom, grandparents and dad, don't they love me and my sister? Don't they want us, they just want another little girl?" What about my brother?"

Xu Laidi was taken aback for a moment, her eyes flickered slightly, then she looked sideways at Qian Yu and said, "Why do you think so?"

Qian Yu lowered her head and spoke in a low voice: "Grandma said it. I heard her say that we are 'losers'." Looking at Xu Laidi again, doubts appeared in her eyes, "Mom, why are girls What about money-losing goods? Our teacher said, now that men and women are equal, girls are no worse than boys in many places—the one who always takes the first test in our class is a girl, and none of the boys can pass the exam What about her?"

Xu Laidi didn't know how to answer this question.

This is a question that she has not figured out until now.

Seeing that Xu Laidi didn't answer her, Qian Yu couldn't help pulling her hand down again, and urged in a low voice: "Mom?"

Xu Laidi blinked her dry eyes, and said in a low voice after a while, "Probably because... we are all sick."

Qian Yu didn't seem to understand, she froze for a moment, then shook Xu Laidi's hand anxiously: "Where's mom, is mom sick too?"

Xu Laidi lowered her head and looked at her daughter, then pulled her lips and forced a smile: "Maybe... who knows?"

Sending her eldest daughter, who has been worried since she said she might be sick, to school, Xu Laidi stood at the door, looking at a large wave of children who looked like the sun at seven or eight o'clock in the morning.She stayed in a daze for a while, until the security guard at the door couldn't help but came up to ask, then she woke up again like a dream, turned around and walked back in a daze.

The sun was so strong that people felt dizzy facing the sunlight.

Thinking of the faces of her in-laws at home, Xu Laidi felt a little pain in her heart, and now she didn't want to go home anymore, so she wandered aimlessly along the street.

She didn't know how long she had been walking, but when she passed a park, an unobtrusive fortune-telling booth suddenly broke into her sight.

It was a very simple stall, with bright yellow silk spread on the table, and there were pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, and a young stall owner was sitting there at the back, interpreting words and fortune-telling for the fortune-telling guests in front of him.

Xu Laidi watched from the side for a while, and then was about to leave, but her feet didn't listen.She hesitated for a while, looking at the majestic four characters of "Defying the Heaven and Changing Fate" on the stall, she walked to the side of the stall unexpectedly, and lined up behind the crowd.

The temperature was getting higher, and Xu Laidi felt a little dizzy all over, and she didn't know if the leftovers at noon had a reaction in her body at the moment. There seemed to be something blocked in her stomach, and she kept feeling nauseous all the time.

Suddenly, there were fewer and fewer people queuing in front of her. When she woke up, she suddenly found that there was no one in front of her.

The fortune teller sitting behind the stall was not the fairy-tale old man she imagined or the middle-aged blind man in a Chinese tunic suit, but an ordinary young man.

His skin was as white as it could glow, and his dark pupils were slightly curved. He looked kind and lovable like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old brother next door.

——Anyway, he doesn't look like a magic stick, but he also doesn't look like a reliable fortune teller

Xu Laidi regretted for a moment why she suddenly lost her head, and remembered what fate it was to come here.

"Miss, please sit down."

However, before Xu Laidi could find an excuse to leave, the other end spoke to her first.Xu Laidi didn't have the nerve to refuse directly because of her thin skin, she hesitated for a while, and then sat down after looking around.

"This lady looks good." The young man at the other end looked Xu Laidi up and down for a while, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Is the lady's surname 'Xu'?"

Xu Laidi was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes." After finishing speaking, she thought about the cheerful look of her mother in the hospital in the morning, and then checked the information again, and understood in her heart, "In the morning, my mother and My sister—”

The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It seems that your sisters and I are indeed destined to hit each other." He stroked the paper in front of him lightly, then looked at Xu Laidi and said, "I don't know what Miss Xu wants this time. What are you going to count?"

Xu Laidi hesitated for a while, and asked, "Is your divination really accurate?"

The young man just looked at her, his eyes were extremely dark, obviously looking like a very pure color, but for some reason, the moment the two eyes met, Xu Laidi felt as if she was caught by the other side. As if seeing through, the whole person couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

But fortunately, he only took one look at her, and then looked away with a smile: "Sincerity leads to success."

Xu Laidi rubbed her trousers with her hands resting on her thighs, as if she was engaged in some ideological struggle. After a while, as if she had made up her mind, she looked at the young fortune-teller Said: "Then...then ask the celestial master to help me figure it out, in this life...is it possible for me to have a son again?"

The corners of the young man's lips deepened slightly, and he pushed the paper and pen on the table in front of her: "Then please ask Miss Xu to write a few words on the paper."

Embarrassment flashed across Xu Laidi's face: "I don't know many words..."

The young man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what you write, any words are fine."

Xu Laidi thought for a while, grabbed the Langhao pen on the table with a very twisted posture, and then wrote the word "Di" on the paper with difficulty.

"I've written it."

Xu Laidi quickly returned the paper and pen, feeling a little embarrassed looking at the crooked words on the paper.

The young man at the other end didn't show anything when he looked at her writing, he just smiled faintly, looked at Xu Laidi and said, "Your word is very similar to that Miss Xu in the morning."

Xu Laidi was taken aback, leaned forward and asked, "What does this mean?"

"The word 'female' is on the side, and 'brother' is in the middle. Judging from your words, it is a sign that all women give way to men." The young man put down the piece of paper, looked at the confused eyes on the other end, and said simply Honestly, "If there are no accidents, Ms. Xu's next child should be a boy."

Xu Laidi had a look of disbelief at first, and then there was a burst of ecstasy in his eyes: "I... I can still have a son? The next child will be a son? Is this true?"

The young man on the other end had a panoramic view of her ecstasy, but there seemed to be something flickering under the pure black eyes, and then Xu Laidi heard the other end slowly say: "It's just—"

When Xu Laidi heard these three words, her heart skipped a beat, the joy on her face subsided a little, and she couldn't help but said anxiously: "...just what?"

The young man glanced at her, followed the word she wrote with his fingertips, and slowly traced it: "From the shape of your characters, the word 'female' is too biased, too dry, and the strokes are not connected, and it is on the verge of falling. There is no such thing next to it." 'Brother', they all look like they will collapse at any time, if there is one, I'm afraid..."

He looked at Xu Laidi whose face suddenly turned pale again, and said in a faint voice, "If this child comes, you will have to give everything you have to support it. If you can be ruthless and abandon everything else, it will be natural. May all your wishes come true."

Probably the blueprint drawn by the young man's last four words is too beautiful, Xu Laidi heard it in her ears, and couldn't help getting up in a trance for a while.

She took out the fortune-telling fee from her pocket and handed it to the young man, then turned around and left in a daze.

Seeing that Xu Laidi had left, Ye Changsheng closed the stall and turned to the back of the big tree to find He Jiuzhong who was holding a paper crane and seemed to be having fun.

Seeing him coming, the other end handed the paper crane back, raised his eyebrows at him and said, "Shouldn't your words just now be regarded as provocation?"

Ye Changsheng immediately retorted, and said confidently: "I'm just telling what I saw, how can this be called instigation." Holding the paper crane in his palm, he flicked the paper crane's head with his hand. The waves caused by the swimming of the two yin-yang fish inside made him look a little strange.

"Deep obsession will breed inner demons. Their inner demons have been integrated into the depths of their souls, winning life and losing death. It's as simple as that."

With a slight lift of the palm of the hand, the paper crane flew out again.

Ye Changsheng squinted his eyes and looked up at the paper crane gradually disappearing in front of his eyes, and then turned his head to look at He Jiuzhong next to him: "Do you think they will win or lose?"

He Jiuzhong hooked his lips and looked back at him: "Is this also a gamble?"

Ye Changsheng shook his head, he sighed, smiled and said, "No, I'm just... looking for a miracle."

He Jiuzhong reached out and pinched his earlobe: "Go back?"

Ye Changsheng smiled: "Go back."

Xu Laidi didn't know how she got home.

Ever since the fortune-telling stand by the roadside calculated that she would be able to conceive the boy she had been thinking about day and night, she was in a strange daze.

The long-cherished wish of many years can now be reached as long as she works hard on tiptoe. How can she restrain the excitement in her heart?

When I got home, the living room was empty.

Not seeing the two cold faces of her parents-in-law for a while made her feel a little relieved.I looked at the time, it was past three o'clock.Estimating the time in my heart, I wanted to prepare the ingredients for dinner before I brought Qian Yu back, but just entered the kitchen, I smelled a little fishy smell coming from the window in my nose, and my brain didn't even have time to react. The nausea quickly spread.

Covering his mouth, he rushed to the toilet and retched a few times holding the toilet, but he didn't spit out anything, but the discomfort in his chest lingered.She wiped away the tears that shed physiologically due to retching, sat quietly for a while, and then she recovered.

When the little old lady of the Zhang family came back from outside the house after buying vegetables, she saw Xu Laidi flushing the toilet with an ugly face. You don’t do sweeping or cooking, who is showing such a dead face, huh?”

Xu Laidi quickly apologized: "Mom, I'm sorry, I was just a little uncomfortable just now, I'm going to take the food and deal with it now."

The little old lady handed over the vegetable basket, muttering in her mouth: "My son has worked very hard recently, I went to the vegetable market to buy a little rooster, remember to pluck the hair clean and keep the chicken blood, That's his favorite! And..."

But the little old lady at the other end couldn't finish her chatter, Xu Laidi almost smelled the live chicken in the vegetable basket, her face changed again, she threw the vegetable basket heavily on the ground, and almost ran to the toilet again.

"Hey, you—" The little old lady looked at the chicken thrown by Xu Laidi, and flew out of the vegetable basket, fluttering all over the chicken feathers and opening her mouth angrily, wanting to scold.

But just as the cursing words came to her throat, her eyes moved slightly, as if thinking of something, she couldn't care about the chicken that jumped out of the vegetable basket for a moment, she hurriedly followed Xu Laidi, watching her retch Vomiting badly, she quickly took another glass of water and handed it to her to rinse her mouth.

Probably since the birth of two daughters, the old lady was too impressed with her beating and scolding, and now she suddenly became warm, which shocked Xu Laidi so much that her whole body stiffened.

The little old lady at this end still had a rare kindness and kindness. She walked over and patted Xu Laidi's back gently, and suddenly asked: "Why don't you tell our family when you have a child? Let me keep letting you So busy!"

Xu Laidi was taken aback for a moment. She didn't react to what the old lady was saying at first, but she turned her head and watched the guy smiling and looking down at her stomach, and then she understood it instantly.

"Mom... I... I don't know... I just don't feel well."

Listening to the other end, the old lady seemed as if she hadn't confirmed it yet, she frowned slightly, looked at Xu Laidi appraisingly, and asked, "How long has it been since you 'that'?"

Xu Laidi wanted to deny it at first, but when she thought about it carefully, she really didn't seem to have her monthly affairs this month. Thinking about the hexagram that Ye Changsheng had calculated for her before, it suddenly seemed like a thunderbolt split in her mind, making her endure it. I couldn't help trembling all over.

This - can't it?

"...It's been almost two months."

As soon as Xu Laidi said this, the old lady was completely happy: "Then she is pregnant!" Pulling the other end, she was about to go to the hospital, "No, you can't be careless with my grandson, let's go to the hospital for another checkup."

"Mom...Mom!" Xu Laidi was startled at a loss by the old lady's sudden enthusiasm, "It's already so late today, let's go tomorrow! The food at home hasn't been cooked yet, and things haven't been packed yet..."

"What are you cooking and packing?" The old lady turned her head and stared at her, her face darkening, "Nothing is as important as my grandson now! Don't talk about those useless things, come with me to the hospital now!"

As he spoke, he didn't care what the other side was saying, and dragged Xu Laidi out the door.

The two of them forgot the time as soon as they went to the hospital, and before they knew it, the sky darkened very quickly.

Qian Yu stood at the school gate with her schoolbag on her back and looked out desperately. It was already very late, and the children around her had already been picked up by their parents one after another. By this time, only Leave her alone.

It's already May, but the wind at night is still a bit cold.She stood with her back against the wall, her head bowed deeply, and only when she occasionally heard footsteps nearby, would she look up to the road expectantly.

It was getting later and later, there was no bright color in the sky, and there was a waning moon hanging in the sky, but occasionally it was covered by dark clouds.There was only a small light bulb with extremely low wattage hanging at the school gate, and there was a dim yellow light in the darkness.

Although Qian Yu also met Xu Laidi in the past, so she would delay picking her up a little bit, but in that case, she would definitely tell her in advance when she was in school.

But not today.

She looked around, knowing that what seemed normal during the day looked eerie at night with only dim lights.In the darkness, there seemed to be huge ferocious looking beasts lurking everywhere. They stared at her, as if they were going to pounce on her and tear her to pieces completely if they could find the right time.

The wind whistled and passed with terrible noises, and the fear deepened in her heart step by step. Just when she was about to suffocate, suddenly a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came towards her from the darkness.

"Little sister, are you waiting for your parents?"

The man's voice was very gentle, he slightly bent his body to make his eyes level with hers, looked at her with a little smile and said.

It is probably because the fear of a person in the dark is too deep, and suddenly seeing an adult at this moment, the little girl who has been terrified all the time can't help crying.She sobbed and wiped away her tears quickly, and stammered to the man: "I...I'm waiting for my mother."

The man touched his head, and the smile on his face became more gentle: "Oh, you are so obedient waiting for mom at the door alone."

It was probably the first time for the little girl to get compliments from outsiders. She couldn't help lowering her head shyly, then looked up at the man: "My mother asked me to wait here until she came."

"It's so good. But actually, uncle is your mother's friend. Your mother can't come today because of something, so I asked uncle to pick you up. Do you want to go with uncle?"

Qian Yu was a little hesitant, but when she looked at the man's gentle smiling face again, she felt that his suit and leather shoes looked a bit like her father, and she couldn't help but feel a little closer.

She nodded vigorously, with a nice smile on her face: "Well, thank you uncle!"
