love to love

The three of them were facing a few steamed buns, a pot of clear soup with little water, plus old vinegar mixed with pickles, and the food was tasteless.

"Dad, what did my second brother tell you to keep talking to me?" Wen Han had a bowl left and couldn't finish it.

"Let's talk after dinner." Father Wen was extremely calm, and tapped Wen Han's rice bowl lightly with the tip of his chopsticks.

"Oh."

"..." Wen Jun looked at his father and then at his younger brother, gritted his teeth and poured all the soup from the small pot into his own bowl.He himself doesn't like to eat the food he cooks, but he feels a pity if he doesn't eat it.The old mother-in-law just came home yesterday, and his wife gave birth to twins this time, which is a bit exhausting, and they will have to raise them for a few more days.

After eating, the three of them cleared away the bowls and chopsticks, and then sat in Father Wen's room to talk about "big things".

Father Wen's expression was very serious: "Your second brother and second sister-in-law want to adopt their daughter to you."

Wen Han: "What?"

Father Wen had no choice but to repeat what he had just said.

The sound is received by the ears and then transmitted to the brain. The whole process takes a very short time, but Wen Han has a hard time digesting the sudden message. He just feels that his brain is blank and has no thoughts. Later, he suddenly has many questions about reality.

Wen Jun saw that his little brother always didn't express his opinion, so he simply asked directly: "What do you think?"

"what?"

"I will adopt the child to you."

Wen Han woke up like a dream, and asked, "Why...why did you adopt me?"

"What else is there, of course because I can't afford it! Who would have thought that your sister-in-law gave birth to twins, and I wondered why her belly is getting bigger and bigger and more edible. Hey, it turns out that she is pregnant with twins..."

"I...I..." Wen Han faltered and didn't know what to answer.

Wen Jun said again: "This is also Dad's idea."

Father Wen was smoking the pipe slowly again. Seeing his youngest son looking at him, he knocked off the ash and said slowly, "Dad, I have thought about it carefully. I don't know when your illness will be cured." It's cured... Even if you can marry a wife for you, there is no guarantee that she will divorce you in the future. If you find a woman with a child, how can raising someone else's child be as safe as raising your own child? , it depends on fate whether you are a bachelor or not, so what will you do when you get old? Besides, your second brother doesn't want a daughter, let alone anything else, just look at what your eldest sister is doing if she gets married. Your mother is sick and she is alone. Zi'er has never been taken home, alas..." The old man took a sharp breath of cigarette and stopped talking.

Wen Han knew that his father didn't fabricate his elder sister behind his back, but to be honest, Wen Qing couldn't be blamed for this. Wen Qing's husband's family was also poor and had little money, and her elder sister didn't have a job, so she relied on his brother-in-law all day long.Aren’t the family conditions in remote rural areas similar? They are all in the same financial constraints. Wen Han also knows that his father and his second brother are somewhat patriarchal. willing.

He grew up in such an environment, so he should have this kind of stubborn and ignorant feudal thinking, but after all, these years of higher education are not for nothing, Wen Han has his own set of judgments and ideas in his heart .

Mulan, who is well-known in history, served in the army for her father, and Mu Guiying took command, etc. These are all heroines who do not give up to men.Wen Han believes that Wen Qing is not unwilling to pay, but really powerless.Just talking about treating his mother, how much did his second brother actually contribute?It's not that he doesn't know that his second brother will spend a lot of money for honoring his parents every month, but he doesn't want to care about these things that he knows well.

But Father Wen and Wen Jun have different ideas from Wen Han.In the final analysis, the matter is very clear. On the one hand, Wenjun does not want to raise a daughter, and on the other hand, Father Wen is worried that his youngest son will not have someone to take care of him in the future.

"Then... the child will be given to me now?" Wen Han tentatively asked.

Wen Jun picked up the conversation: "Yes!"

Old Man Wen exhaled a puff of dry smoke, and said hesitantly in the smog: "I think it's better to wait until the child is older before letting your brother take it..."

"Dad, we made an agreement two days ago, don't you agree?! When the child grows up, let the younger brother take it, and the child will stop kissing him."

"That's what you say...but your brother has to go to work during the day, how can he have time to take care of the children?"

"Isn't my younger brother a teacher? Why don't you just ask the leader to go home when you're not teaching?"

"Nonsense!" Father Wen patted the table hard.

Wen Han can also see that Wen Jun is determined not to want his own daughter. He doesn't understand why his second brother is so patriarchal. If there is no such a "hidden disease" brother like him, he will be so young. Who will the niece entrust to?Do you give it away casually or...?He suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore, and made a decision driven by a moment of shock and impulsiveness: "Dad, I am willing to raise this child."

Wen Jun jumped ahead of Father Wen and expressed his attitude: "That's great!"

Father Wen was smoking a pipe, but he still couldn't let go of his thoughts: "The key is how do you take care of the child? I think you have to wait until the child is weaned before you take it away. What do you think?"

Wen Han glanced at Wen Jun, thinking that he would be angry with his second brother, and the child would not be much better off staying here than with him, so he made up his mind and said firmly: "I will find a way .”

"Little brother, don't go back on your word. If you take it away, it's yours. After that, let the children call you daddy, and don't call you uncle."

Wen Han looked at his second brother's face eager to let go, as if the newborn baby girl was a "hot potato". He suddenly felt very sad for his little niece, and at the same time felt that his second brother was disgusting. That's right, it's disgusting.

On an unremarkable Friday night, the responsibilities on Xiaowen's shoulders suddenly became very heavy.

final chapter

Lu Hao held his mobile phone to read the long series of WeChat messages sent by Xiaowen on the other end of the phone, and his fingers stopped on the input interface, not knowing whether to type or send emoticons.After thinking about it, I first typed a line - "Good job, always support my wife", and then sent a lot of emotion to his second brother and second sister-in-law. During the period, I did not forget to praise "father-in-law is wise", and finally Finally, he was curious about what the little girl who was coming to the new home looked like.

Wen Han sent him a photo. In the photo was a little girl sleeping soundly sucking her right thumb. She had no way of knowing whether her eyes were big or not, but her eyelashes were thick and long. "It should be a very beautiful little girl," Lu Hao thought to himself.

He was very glad that Wen Han shared this news with him at the first time, which also directly showed that in that person's heart, he was not only a bed warmer who could speak his mind from the bottom of his heart, but also a strong backing that he could rely on .

Maybe outsiders will think that the two of them are progressing too fast, but you can only know whether the shoes are suitable if you wear them on your own feet. Since the showdown between the two of them sincerely, the way of getting along is completely the life of an "old man, old man" like rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. .Lu Hao was so satisfied with his current living conditions, he was so satisfied that he thought all this was a bit dreamy and unreal, he pinched his thigh hard, it hurt a lot, it seems that what he has now is not fake.

Recently, Lu Hao is planning to raise a large dog. In the future, when he has nothing to do, he will take his wife and the dog out for self-driving tours, touring the surrounding cities, seeing new scenery and tasting local delicacies that he has never eaten before.But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and a fresh little life was about to enter his future life. With some joy in his heart, he was full of expectations for the future.

On Sunday morning, Lu Hao withdrew 5 yuan in cash from the bank, borrowed the red Nissan from Hu Rui, and drove straight to Wen Han's hometown.

When we arrived at that little-known little village, the car drove past, and there was smoke everywhere. When Lu Hao just stopped the car, he saw Wen Han was already waiting for him at the door.

Lu Hao always told himself not to be too intimate, because no one in the Wen family knew about his relationship with Xiao Wen, and the role he was going to play now was just Wen Han's friend, that's all.

He got out of the car and smiled at Xiao Wen, Wen Han also smiled at him, and the two entered the house together with a tacit understanding.

"Dad, this is my friend. He came to help when my mother... left last time."

When Father Wen saw his youngest son's friend coming, he wanted to put down the tobacco in his hand to greet the guests. The old man couldn't remember the face of this young man clearly, but he was not completely unimpressed.He remembered that when the boy's mother left, Yaozi had a friend who came to help him, so it turned out to be this person.

Lu Hao smiled and spoke quickly: "It's okay, uncle, you can smoke, don't call me."

"Okay, okay." Father Wen looked at Lu Hao, who was tall and burly, and quietly put the cigarette bag aside, thinking that people in this city are different. Looking at the boss, he must have been a child since he was a child. Eat well, not lack of nutrition.

In fact, Lu Hao Xiaoque was a child who lacked both calcium and love. Maybe he drank "zinc" preparations since he was a child, which is why he grew such a height that others are envious of.

Wen Han led Lu Hao into the house of his second elder brother and second sister-in-law. Lu Hao greeted everyone one by one, and now finally saw the little girl's "true face of Mount Lu". Very flattering.

Fortunately, this child has a pair of cruel parents, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to get in touch with this little person. Lu Hao couldn't put himself in the situation to understand the state of mind of the second brother Wen and the second wife.
