brand on heart

Yesterday's weather forecast was rainy. Grandma Shi got up early and was busy cleaning up the leaves and rubbish around the lawns of the nursing home.

Now it is mid-May, there are not many leaves falling from the trees, and there are not many old people throwing garbage everywhere, and it is located on an island, so there is not much dust.

However, in order to be worthy of the meager salary, Grandma Shi still worked hard every day and got up early to work.

Cleaning up the area I was in charge of, it happened to be drizzling under the gray sky, Grandma Shi took the sweeping tools in her arms and walked back to the tool room quickly, noticing the curling rain and fog, the two hugged each other and walked slowly with an umbrella Coming over, the figure was familiar to him, so he couldn't help but stop and wait.

Sure enough, it was Shi Yan and his classmate Meng Yun who came from the rain and fog in the distance.

At this moment, the two of them described themselves as being in a state of distress, their whole bodies were drenched by the flying rain, and the umbrella didn't help at all.

Grandma Shi took off her raincoat and ran over to put it on the two of them, "Yanyan, why didn't you tell grandma in advance when you came here today?"

Shi Yan's face was pale, his eyes were straight, and he hugged Meng Yun tremblingly without saying a word.

Seeing his appearance, Grandma Shi probably guessed what happened, so she didn't ask any further questions and took the two of them to her room.

Shi Yan was carrying two small bags on his back, nothing else. After Meng Yun entered the room, he was even more attached to Shi Yan and refused to separate for half a step. He was afraid of unfamiliar places.

After closing the door, Grandma Shi wiped Shi Yan's hair with a dry towel, and asked softly: "Yanyan, don't be afraid, grandma is here, what happened, tell grandma, don't hold it in your heart."

Shi Yan put on a sullen face, and slowly unbuttoned the shirt on his body, revealing his slightly bulging abdomen.

The child is almost four months old and has begun to show signs of pregnancy.

When grandma saw it, she immediately understood what was going on. She covered her mouth in disbelief, then hugged Shiyan and said heartbroken, "You are still the same as your father after all. My poor child, don't be afraid, there is grandma, Grandma is here, don't be afraid, grandma will protect you, my poor grandson." While speaking, he hugged Shiyan tightly and cried silently.

Old man Zheng was leisurely after lunch, humming Peking opera and walking through the corridor to find the old man in the nursing home to play chess, thinking that when the chess game was over, he would go to grandma's place to ask for a cup of tea and chat.

The old sister-in-law is very reserved, and now she can only hold hands.

He is in his seventies and eighties, and apart from his deceased wife, old man Zheng has never seen such a pure and innocent person.

Coming out of the corridor, I met a few old people holding umbrellas to go to the seaside breakwater. They greeted each other with a smile and were about to leave. Unexpectedly, one of them stopped and asked, "Old Zheng, your wife is leaving today." , are you not going to send it off?"

"Ah? Who wants to leave?" Old man Zheng stopped and asked in surprise.

The man looked at him strangely, "Who else can it be? The wife you keep calling. I heard from the head nurse that she found her in a hurry in the morning and she would resign immediately. She didn't even want this month's salary, and she was going to leave by boat. You have no idea?"

"I, I know shit!" Old man Zheng was so anxious that he uttered obscenities, and hurriedly asked, "Where is she?"

"The person her grandson came to pick up, it's time to arrive at the pier. If you want to send it off, go there quickly. I heard that even the discharge procedures have been completed, so I'm afraid they won't come back." The man waved his hand and planned to leave.

Old man Zheng turned around and took two steps, suddenly turned around and ran over to grab his umbrella, "Lend me the umbrella."

"Hey, you are a big corrupt official, you have revealed your true nature, you even want to snatch my umbrella! Remember to return it to me!" The man was also generous, so he yelled and stomped his feet helplessly. He ran away without looking back, so he had to squeeze an umbrella with his companions.

Old man Zheng ran towards the pier holding his umbrella with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and saw three people who were about to board the boat amidst the wind and waves from a distance.

It is raining today, and the sea is rough. It is estimated that there will only be this ferry.

Old man Zheng raised his umbrella high and yelled, "Hey! Hey!! Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Grandma Shi vaguely saw him, felt melancholy, and told the ferry driver not to sail yet.

Panting, old man Zheng rushed to the pier with an umbrella, and jumped on board regardless of 21, "Old sister-in-law, what happened, why did you leave without saying hello?"

Grandma Shi also felt a little sorry for him, and said: "There is something urgent at home, I have to go back, I'm sorry, Lao Zheng, it's raining so hard, so I trouble you to run."

The waves on the sea were getting bigger and bigger, and the crew came over and asked, "Do you want to take a boat? If you don't sit, get off quickly, or you won't be able to sail later."

The wind and rain outside the boat were dark, and the waves hit the pier with the rain, rumbling.

Old man Zheng put away his umbrella and put it aside, "Leave the boat, let's go, and I will sit too. Who will pay for the fare?"

"This—" Grandma Shi knew a little bit about his character of saying that the wind is the rain, but it was too sudden, "Old Zheng, where are you going? If you leave the nursing home so suddenly, you will be in a hurry."

"I don't care about them. Follow you, I will go wherever you go." Old man Zheng was also unrestrained, sitting on the ship with only four of them with his legs apart, commanding the crew, "Let's go! It's raining so hard, I won’t be able to go back later.”

Grandma Shi looked at him in bewilderment for a while, and then turned her head to look at Shi Yan who was in a trance and Meng Yun who was in a trance beside him, looking like this, there was no one to talk to.

"Oh, old sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not blackmailing you. I have a lot of assets, and it's no problem to support your family. Listen to me. Look at your two grandsons, who are desperate, who can help ? Matters between men must be resolved by men, of course. Don't worry!"

Two months later, Shi Yan came out of the school hall together with Xia Chen, Peng Lichao and the others in a bachelor's uniform. The degree certificate awarding ceremony had just finished, and now everyone was going to take pictures on the lawn outside.

My stomach is getting bigger and bigger. When I went out today, I specially wrapped layers of gauze around my stomach to prevent people from seeing something wrong.

Even so, when Xia Chen and Peng Lichao saw him for the first time, they exclaimed at the same time that he had gained a lot of weight.

However, it is not a healthy body shape, but the abdomen is slightly raised, there is almost no flesh on the face, the arms and legs are thinner than before, and the mental outlook is not as good as before.

Xia Chen worriedly asked him quietly if he was sick.

Shi Yan just shook his head.

"Hey, I don't know what's going on with Meng Yun now, but something happened on the eve of graduation." Peng Lichao said with emotion.

Shi Yan didn't tell him that Meng Yun was with her now, that he was gradually recovering now, Shi Yan didn't want too many people to show up and make him emotionally fluctuate too much.

After taking a group photo with her classmates, Shi Yan left in a hurry.

With the current body in the company, I can no longer go back to work, and I have already resigned early.

The master who was in charge of taking him before heard about it and Te called to question him. The two have been mentoring for more than half a year. He has always been very optimistic about Shiyan, and he taught him everything in every detail.

Shi Yan had no choice but to lie and say that a very serious disease was found in her body, which would take a long time to recuperate, so she had to resign.

The life that was supposed to have a bright future has gradually become bleak.

During the whole pregnancy, she was depressed, and often cried for no reason. It was clear that the family was in turmoil, and he was the only adult pillar, but now she couldn't cheer up no matter what.

Regardless of his family's objections, old man Zheng insisted on getting a marriage certificate with Grandma Shi, and helped them buy the second-floor suburban apartment they used to rent. Fortunately, the location was not a good one, and the price was only half of the house price in Binhai Central District. Around, but also spent seven or eight million.

Shi Yan didn't care about these things, and occasionally took jobs at home as translators, or when she went out, she would run outside the apartment where he and Mu Qing used to live for no reason, and sometimes sat at the door until midnight before suddenly waking up to where she was. So take a taxi home.

Mu Qing's departure completely broke him down mentally, leaving him in a daze all day long.

Meng Yun has gradually been able to recognize people, whether Grandma Shi or Old Man Zheng, he has begun to realize their existence and get along well with them, but he still regards Shiyan as Jiang Keqing.

This is the last hurdle, and Shi Yan doesn't know when he will be able to cross it.

Old man Zheng's family appeared several times, saying that they brainwashed the old man and wanted to call the police to arrest them. Later, old man Zheng invited lawyers and police to give a stern warning and divide up all the property in hand.

Except for the house, Old Man Zheng didn't give Shiyan and Grandma Shi anything, and he only left 350 million yuan for retirement, which is managed and invested by a special fund manager, and has a fixed monthly expenditure.

Later, Mr. Zheng's second daughter-in-law wanted to take this house away too, but Mr. Zheng called the police and arrested her. She also wanted to take back the assets under her own name, scaring the family from showing up again.

After going back and forth a few times, Old Man Zheng managed to tidy up his family of mischievous monsters obediently and neatly.

When the child was eight months old, Chen Mingxu found out where they lived and came here.

Shi Yan can no longer go out, and she has to close the door when walking in the yard during the day. Only at night can she wear a mask and hold hands with Meng Yun to a nearby park to breathe.

"What are you doing here? You are not welcome here!" Hearing grandma's excited voice upstairs, Shi Yan put down her work, walked quickly to the window and opened the curtains, and saw a young girl standing at home supporting Chen Mingxu the door.

Chen Mingxu was weak and haggard, and seemed to have only half his life left.

"Auntie, I heard that you live here, so I thought, ahem, I'll come over and see where Shi Qu lived before." Chen Mingxu leaned on the girl angrily.

"Don't call me auntie, I don't know you! Shi Qu never lived here, we moved here after he died, there is nothing you want to see, you go!" Grandma Shi thought with a broom in her hand Chase people.

"Old woman, what are you talking about? Didn't you see that my father is uncomfortable?" The girl has a straight temper, but when she saw her grandma's bad attitude, she immediately turned her face.

"Mingqu, don't be rude, cough cough, ho-ho--" Chen Mingxu couldn't get too excited, he covered his chest and said sternly to the girl beside him, "Grandma Shi, I never taught you to speak like this, ho--"

"Dad, why did we come here without telling mom? After sitting in the car for so long, he still doesn't look good."

Grandma Shi wasn't in the mood to watch their father and daughter show off their parents, she raised her hand to close the door, but was blocked by Chen Mingxu, "Auntie, just because I'm about to die, let me see Shi Yan again, I probably have a fate with that child, recently Miss him more and more."

Grandma Shi put down her hand to close the door and looked at him with a strange expression.

Chen Mingxu was so dizzy that he didn't see her expression, he was panting like a bellows, "The doctor has already said, I'm only a couple of months away, before I die, I just have such a wish, thinking that no matter what I want Come and see the boy. Just let me see him again, Auntie, please."

As he spoke, he pushed away the girl who was supporting him, and knelt down in front of Grandma Shi with a bang, "I hurt Shi Qu, and he was expelled from school before he even finished college, and he ran away alone after he was found in the village , leaving your family to be accused by thousands of people and have to live in a foreign land. Auntie, you hate me, I have nothing to say. But, please, please fulfill my last wish, otherwise I will die with regret!"

Passers-by around saw Chen Mingxu kneeling at the door of the house, and stopped to discuss curiously.

Grandma Shi was trembling with anger from Chen Mingxu, "What are you doing? Can't we make our family feel better? You caused Shi Qu to be depressed and end up with nowhere to bury his bones, and now you are here to harm his son? Shi Yan has nothing to do with you No, I won't let you see him, you go!" After finishing speaking, he closed the iron door with a bang, and no matter how Chen Mingxu knocked and rang the doorbell outside, he pretended not to hear it.

Shi Yan put down the curtains and closed the window, looked down at her swollen belly, thought of her father's face when she was a child, the deep meaning and pain in his eyes when she occasionally looked at him, and the topic about his biological mother that grandma kept secret.

Immediately, what was the first thing she said when she saw her stomach on that rainy day when she went to the nursing home on the island to find her grandma?

Are you really like your father? !

Therefore, the person who gave birth to himself may be——

Turning around and opening the curtains again, he saw that Chen Mingxu was dying and was helped into the car by the girl and bodyguards who came with him. After a while, the car drove away from the door of the house. Come.

Suddenly, the door was knocked.

Meng Yun, who was reading a book at the desk, raised his head, intending to get up and go over, but Shi Yan waved his hand to stop him, "Read, Meng Yun, I'll open it."

Opening the door and walking out of the room, Grandma Shi looked at Shi Yan emotionally, "Did you hear the movement at the door just now?"

Shi Yan nodded calmly.

Grandma Shi looked at him with tears in her eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Do you have anything you want to ask Grandma? Now, Grandma won't hide anything anymore, and will tell you everything, ah, Yanyan."

Shaking her head slightly, Shi Yan lowered her head and stroked her stomach, and said, "Don't worry, grandma, I have nothing to ask, and I have nothing to know."

Grandma Shi hugged Shi Yan and couldn't bear it anymore, sobbing loudly, "Yan Yan, grandma is so scared, I'm afraid that you are like your father, these days, you are going to scare grandma to death."

Shi Yan's somewhat numb heart was suddenly touched by grandma's crying, yes, what the hell have I been doing these past few months?

The child is about to be born, the family only has 10,000+ deposits, and I have no job. Meng Yun’s illness needs to be checked with medication all the time, and the food and clothing after the child is born. Labor, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, go out to pick up empty bottles and accumulate them to supplement the family.

"Grandma, I'm so unfilial, I'm sorry." Holding the thin old man in her arms tightly, grandma really broke her heart for her father and him all her life.

"Grandma is fine. I'm just afraid that you won't think about it, and you will suffer yourself. From now on, our two grandchildren will be well, okay? Promise grandma, don't do stupid things."

"Okay, grandma, Yan Yan promises you." The sadness and depression on his face gradually faded, and Shi Yan solemnly promised.

The reality is that there is no room for people to escape. It is necessary to cheer up as soon as possible and carefully plan the income and expenditure during the period from the birth of the child to the time when the child is weaned and can work in the next year.

In the past, I would occasionally write some professional comments and publish academic papers on well-known economic newspapers and media in Binhai. I was relatively familiar with editors in related industries.

The next step is to find part-time jobs in video editing and translation online. I have been doing it before, and I have resources and platforms, but the income is not stable.

Summing up all the savings on hand and the money given by Meng Yun's parents, the total is 10,000 + less than 30. The time budget from now to the birth and weaning of the child will take at least eight months. Eight months will depend entirely on this money.

According to the calculation and arrangement of daily expenses, the cost of childbirth surgery and hospitalization, etc., Shi Yan listed a detailed table.

As for the Mu family and the Song family, someone probably knew about his breakup with Mu Qing for a long time, but so far, no one has called to inquire, even Song Rongzhen and Song Rongqin, who had some friendship before, did not care about it. .

It can be seen that these rich people, on the surface, are warm and thoughtful to you, talking and laughing, as if you can really become friends with them, but in fact, everything is just your illusion. Ordinary college students who are not powerful, probably in their eyes, are villains who curry favor with the rich, that's all.

The baby's due date is around December.

Today happened to be the ninth month of the birth checkup. After the end, Shi Yan got dressed and got off the examination table.

Old Doctor Zeng washed his hands and asked, "How do you plan to give birth to the child? Your situation is special, and I'm afraid I won't be able to cover it by myself."

Shi Yan had no idea, and asked, "Can I trouble the old doctor to come to my house to help deliver the baby?"

"If you can give birth naturally, it's not impossible. I can help you with the relevant procedures, but you also know that you have a special body. If you can't give birth smoothly, what are you going to do?"

This is what Shi Yan is most afraid of. If she cannot give birth smoothly, she will definitely have to arrange surgery, and the secrets of her body will definitely be exposed.

"It's better to arrange a caesarean section directly. I can help you with personal information, but after the operation, you have to discuss it with your family. It's probably not convenient for ordinary outsiders to get in touch."

Shi Yan nodded, "The old doctor is bothering you. I will think about it carefully."

Old Doctor Zeng nodded, and returned the prescribed medicine to him together with the previous test report, "Don't worry too much, there must be a way to reach the mountain. Modern society is more civilized than before, so it's okay to be discovered."

"The child is too young. During this period of time, pay attention to supplementing nutrition. For the sake of the child, no matter how big it is, it must be put aside first." The old doctor's words seemed to mean something.

Shi Yan smiled and nodded, "Okay. Thank you Mr. Zeng. I'll let Meng Yun in."

Seeing his clumsy figure going out, old doctor Zeng shook his head, these rich people are really hard to describe.

It took more than an hour for Meng Yun to do acupuncture and moxibustion. After he came out of the hospital, it was already dark.

Shi Yan put on the mask, took his hand and went to the bus stop to wait for the bus.

As soon as he walked to the gate, a car in front suddenly stopped, and three men in formal suits got off. Shi Yan had a lot of contact with Xiao Zeng and Lao Lin before, and he could tell at a glance that these people were regular bodyguards. Yun bowed his head and tried to go around.

Unexpectedly, the other party came for them.

When Shi Yan noticed it, he immediately turned around and wanted to ask the security guard at the door for help, but someone nearby had already gone to say hello, and the three hugged him and Meng Yun one by one to prevent them from leaving.

Meng Yun pulled him behind him to protect him, and confronted these people fiercely.

One of them said to Shi Yan aloud: "Mr. Shi, Ms. Gu has a favor, we won't do anything to you two, please don't worry, please cooperate and don't embarrass us."

"I don't know Miss Gu, you have found the wrong person!" Afraid that Meng Yun would go crazy and suffer, Shi Yan held his arm tightly and comforted him softly, "Meng Yun, don't be afraid, it's okay."

The person who spoke just now looked at them for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and finally gave up and said, "Mr. Chen wants to see you for the last time."

"Mr. Chen?"

"Chen Mingxu, Mr. Chen, he is on his deathbed."

Seeing the current situation and Meng Yun's state, Shi Yan was afraid that she could not refuse, so she thought about it and nodded, "Yes."

After speaking, he pulled Meng Yun and turned around to board the car behind.
