my wolf

Bai Chengli was wearing presbyopic glasses and sitting under the jujube tree reading a book. When he heard the door knock, he looked up and saw Xu Luowen coming in with a few big shopping bags struggling.

"What did you buy so much for?" Bai Chengli asked.

"Eat and drink," Xu Luowen said, "The New Year's Eve supermarket has activities, and everything is cheap, so I bought more."

"Take it home," Bai Chengli said, "what are you doing here?"

"This is for you and Bai Lang, I have everything at home."

When I entered the house, I opened the refrigerator and put things in by category.

After tidying up, he saw that the three ice creams he bought yesterday were still lying in the freezer, so he took one out and walked out while tearing open the package.

Bai Chengli disapproved: "Eat ice cream in winter, be careful of stomach cold."

"When I was young, I really liked to eat ice cream with this flavor. I went to the supermarket to buy groceries yesterday and saw that they were on sale, so I bought a few." Xu Luowen sat next to him, reached out to pick up the baa and put it on his lap, "What are you looking at? Woolen cloth?"

Bai Chengli showed him the cover.

"Soul at Night," Xu Luowen asked, "What is it about?"

"Tell a story about a widower sleeping with a widow."

"..." Xu Luowen's expression was very delicate, "The title of the book is so serious, but I didn't expect the content to be so serious."

"Hahaha!" Bai Chengli said with a smile, "Are you beating around the bush and calling me an old man?"

"No!" Xu Luowen hurriedly clarified, "I never meant that!"

"You're kidding." Bai Chengli closed the book, took off his reading glasses, "Is everything done?"

"Well," Xu Luowen said, "I saw Bai Lang when I came back. He was directing traffic at an intersection."

Bai Chengli sighed: "To put it bluntly, the auxiliary policeman is a temporary worker. He does more than others, but gets less than others. The contribution and return are not directly proportional."

Xu Luowen said: "He told me that he was going to be a civil servant and become a criminal police officer next year or the year after."

Bai Chengli smiled: "Civil servants are not so easy to take the exam. Others who have studied hard for more than ten years may not be able to pass the exam. How can he compete with others who have only studied for half a year?" He paused, then changed the subject: "But it's not necessarily true. Bai Lang is smart, and he's not just smart. He can learn everything quickly, and he can master it as soon as he learns it. Maybe he can really pass the exam."

Xu Luowen nodded: "I have confidence in him."

Bai Chengli suddenly remembered something, and said, "Xiao Wen, go in and get the phone book on my bedside table."

Xu Luowen agreed, went into the room and found the phone book, took it out and handed it to Bai Chengli.

Bai Chengli turned to the last page and said, "This is your Aunt Shao's number. You can call her for me and ask her to come home for dinner at night."

"Okay." Xu Luowen took out his mobile phone to make a call, and it took a while to answer, "Hello? Aunt Shao? Ah, hello, is it convenient for Aunt Shao to answer the phone? What? Which hospital? I see. Goodbye. "

"What's wrong?" Bai Chengli asked nervously.

"Aunt Shao is in the hospital." Xu Luowen also had a worried expression on his face, "I'm in a coma right now, and I don't know when I'll wake up."

"Hurry up!" Bai Chengli stood up on crutches, "Take me to the hospital!"

Xu Luowen drove Liu Er, Ah Huang, and Baa Baa into the house, quickly checked around for any potential safety hazards, then closed the windows and locked the door, and walked out quickly with Bai Chengli on his arm.His car was parked at the entrance of the alley, he got into the car and went straight to the hospital.

Half an hour later, when they arrived at the hospital, Xu Luowen called again to ask for the ward number, took the elevator up to the fifth floor, and arrived at the ward where Shao Qimin was.

Xu Luowen originally thought that Shao Qimin was admitted to the hospital because of some sudden illness, but when he saw her condition, he was surprised.Shao Qimin had gauze wrapped around her head, and a plaster cast on her left arm, obviously traumatized.

Bai Chengli glanced at Shao Qimin, then turned to the fat young woman standing on the other side of the hospital bed, and said, "Xiao Wan, what's wrong with your mother?"

The woman was Shao Qimin's only daughter, Zhang Wan. She met Bai Chengli once when she was discharged from the hospital after giving birth, and knew that he was her mother's colleague when she was a teacher.Zhang Wan said with an unnatural expression: "No, I accidentally fell down the stairs."

Bai Chengli didn't believe it: "Your mother has quick legs and feet, why did she fall down the stairs?"

Zhang Wan groaned and couldn't speak. After a while, tears welled up, and she choked up and said, "We two quarreled, and I, I pushed her, and she... I really didn't mean to..."

Bai Chengli's face sank like water: "So, you pushed your mother down the stairs?"

Zhang Wan covered her face in tears and kept saying, "I didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't do it on purpose..."

Whether she did it on purpose or not, Aunt Shao's heart must have been broken the moment she rolled down the stairs.Xu Luowen felt so sad, he lowered his head to look at Shao Qimin, but saw a line of tears streaming down from the corner of her eyes.

"Uncle Bai," Xu Luowen tugged at Bai Chengli's sleeve, "Aunt Shao is awake."

Bai Chengli sat by the bed, raised his hand to cover Shao Qimin's, and called softly, "Minmin."

Shao Qimin opened her eyes, eyes filled with tears, she said: "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, it will be fine after half a month of treatment, don't worry."

Bai Chengli nodded, and silently reached out to wipe her tears.

Zhang Wan was still crying, and Bai Chengli said in a deep voice, "Xiao Wan, stop crying, I have something to tell you."

Although Bai Chengli only met Zhang Wan once, he didn't have a good impression of this woman.The expression and tone of her speech to her mother were full of impatience and domineering, as if Shao Qimin was not the mother who gave birth to her and raised her, but just a nanny paid to take care of her and her newborn daughter.But he was just an outsider and had no room to comment, so he never said anything against Zhang Wan in front of Shao Qimin.But today, he couldn't bear it.

Zhang Wan sobbed for a while before stopping, and looked up at Bai Chengli.

Xu Luowen also looked at Bai Chengli, curious about what he had to say.

Bai Chengli was still holding Shao Qimin's hand, his always smiling face was expressionless now, he looked at Zhang Wan gravely, and said slowly: "Xiao Wan, how difficult your mother's life has been, you are more difficult than anyone else. Clearly, only you know how much she has sacrificed for you. You may think that it is natural for your mother to do this for you. Who made her your mother, but no, before she became your mother, she was just a A woman, a woman who wants to live a happy life. Now that you are grown up, married, and have your own home, your mother has fully fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother, and she owes you nothing. From now on , your mother will no longer participate in your life, you do your housework by yourself, you take care of your children by yourself, your mother is tired, she has to rest."

Zhang Wan looked at Bai Chengli in shock: "What do you mean...?"

Bai Chengli looked at Shao Qimin and said, "From now on, your mother will live with me."

The four people in the ward, except Bai Chengli, all looked surprised, but the degree of surprise was different.The one who was most surprised was naturally Zhang Wan. She had a face that had been struck by lightning, and after wandering between Bai Chengli and Shao Qimin for a few times, she said sharply, "I don't agree!"

Bai Chengli said lightly: "You have no right to object. Your mother has the right to decide how she should live. From now on, you will not be responsible for your mother's birth, old age, illness and death. Your mother is ill. If you still care about the relationship between mother and daughter, you can Come and take a look, if you don't come, no one will say anything about you."

"Mom! Tell me something!" Zhang Wan said loudly, "Do you really want to live with this bad old man?"

"How do you talk to your elders?" Xu Luowen said angrily, "Pay attention to your words!"

Shao Qimin's tears stopped flowing a long time ago, she looked at Zhang Wan calmly, and said: "What your uncle Bai said is what I want to say, from now on... from now on you will live your life, I will live mine, no matter what I am Life or death has nothing to do with you."

Zhang Wan was stunned, she didn't believe that her always weak and deceitful mother could say such decisive words, she must be instigated by these people, it must be like this!

"Okay! It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, no one can stop it, but," Zhang Wan's attitude suddenly turned 180 degrees, "You can go, but the house has to stay. My dad worked hard all his life to buy it. The house must belong to me!"

"How do you say such words!" Shao Qimin was filled with grief and anger, trembling all over, "Aside from gambling, drinking and raising a mistress, did your father do anything good for this family? That house...your father didn't even have a single tile Tim! That’s what I’ve worked so hard to teach all my life! Don’t even think about it!”

Zhang Wan sneered: "Okay, you guys team up to bully me! Wait, I'm not easy to bully!" After finishing speaking, she left without looking back.

Shao Qimin burst into tears.

There is Longquan on the tongue, no blood is seen when killing.

She was deeply hurt by Zhang Wan's words, and her heart was pierced to the bone.

Bai Chengli held her hand and comforted her with a smile: "It's okay, don't cry, from now on, we will be each other's companion and reliance as you said, I will protect you and never let you be wronged. "

Shao Qimin cried and nodded.

Xu Luowen turned his back and wiped the corners of his eyes. He looked at Bai Chengli with a look of reverence. He felt that this skinny old man was extremely majestic at the moment.

Shao Qimin gradually calmed down, she said: "Hurry up and leave, Xiaowan must have gone to find her husband, her husband is very fierce, you will be in danger here."

The first thought that came to Xu Luowen's mind was: My husband is also fierce!Super fierce!

On second thought, Bai Lang wasn't his husband, so he blushed quietly.

Then I heard Bai Chengli say: "My son is also very fierce, don't be afraid."

Xu Luowen wanted to laugh a little, he and Bai Chengli thought of going together.

Bai Chengli turned his head and said to Xu Luowen, "Xiao Wen, call Bai Lang to come over quickly."

Xu Luowen agreed, turned around and walked out of the ward to make a phone call.
