Stop loss

Qin Ge remembered Chen Qiye's name firmly, and he didn't meet Chen Qiye himself until three months later.

During the period, that handsome uncle would appear at his house from time to time, and his mother liked to listen to Chen Wang's anecdotes about the Russian theater. Qin Ge's birthday was in December, and Qi Miaomiao said that he must make time for it. Go to St. Petersburg to see "The Nutcracker".

Chen Wang knew the reason and asked, "Ms. Qin has danced ballet before?"

"I learned it when I was a child. My parents were not willing to send me there after the workload in junior and senior high schools became heavier. They said that only people who can't read well will go to art." Qi Miaomiao sighed, thinking that businessmen like them don't understand anything It's about freedom and pursuit, but I haven't thought about it carefully. Who bought the villa she lives in now, who set up the job, who insisted and rebelliously fell in love with a university lecturer from an ordinary family, and who helped her get pregnant before marriage? The son-in-law took care of it up and down, and let him be the vice president at the age of 35.

And she still hasn't reconciled with her parents.She believed that her parents had buried her dreams, and if Qin Siyuan hadn't been coaxing and persuading her, she would not have been willing to go back to her hometown in Tanzhou for the New Year.Therefore, she couldn't accept her parents' prejudice against her husband. In her eyes, if it wasn't for Qin Siyuan, she would have published the newspaper and severed the blood relationship with her parents long ago.

She was doted on and bewitched by Qin Siyuan, and she never suffered, nor worried.What's more important is that her husband has excellent concentration. After giving birth, her figure no longer has the curves of her youth, and she always hides it from her husband. Qin Siyuan has never changed his mind. There is no gossip about him and other women.

Captured by Qin Siyuan's sense of security, Qi Miaomiao clings to her loyal husband and raises smart children.Qin Ge could speak when he was four months old, and he could recite poems with Qin Siyuan when he was one year old. Now, when Qi Miaomiao sees his son's face carved out of the same mold as her husband's, she feels that she is the happiest in the world woman.

She invited Chen Wang to dinner again tonight.She was a little secretly happy, because Qin Siyuan was doing a comparative literature project recently, the content included Russian culture, and it was just the right time for Chen Wang to return to China.In the past few months, they have had a good conversation, and they will go to the library of Shitan campus to find materials together.

Qi Miaomiao regards this friendship as her own credit, and in the theater, she also takes good care of Chen Wang who has just arrived.It's just that she has never seen Chen Wang's wife and children, no, Qin Ge asked after a few mouthfuls of food, "Why didn't Chen Xiye come again?"

Chen Wang said: "He is in his hometown."

Qi Miaomiao asked: "You have already booked your job, why didn't you bring the child back?"

Chen Wang was a little vague: "His household registration is also in his hometown, so it is inconvenient to study."

"Then you have to take it over. The quality of education in Hangzhou is definitely better than your hometown." Qi Miaomiao patted the back of Chen Wang's hand with concern and assured him, "It's better to transfer schools sooner rather than later, leave it to me, I Help you contact the school."

"Will he go to the same kindergarten as me?" Qin Ge asked casually.Chen Wang shook his head and said, "The private kindergarten you went to is too expensive."

Qin Ge didn't have a concept of money yet, so he simply divided the expensive and the cheap into the packaging of chocolate candies.The ones next to the cash register are cheap, the ones with French words printed in tin boxes are expensive.

He still can't connect Gui with the little friends in the kindergarten, and he doesn't understand why the adults around the dining table suddenly laugh uncomfortably.

"It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not..." Qi Miaomiao smoothed things over, "My son can read, so can your son."

Chen Wang still shook his head: "Even if he goes, he is in the big class at this time, and he can't keep up with the progress of bilingual teaching." He seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said, "But he can speak a few words of Russian."

Qi Miaomiao asked curiously: "Has he been to Russia with you?"

Chen Wang shook his head again, afraid of revealing his secrets, so he didn't start talking.He was completely absent from Chen Xiye's childhood, and he didn't have much affection for this child, but Chen Xiye still had some illusions about the concept of father. He grew up with a mute, and he rarely talked. I saw him last week. However, he was able to hold back a few words of Russian that he did not know where he learned, as if he knew the language of that country, and the distance between him and his father would be closer.

Chen Qiye's study did not end there, it was not for his future, but because Chen Wang wanted to gain more trust from Mrs. Qin, and really needed a normal family as a cover.Qin Ge looked forward to it for a few days, but he didn't hear that there were new classmates in the big class, so his enthusiasm dissipated. After all, he still had many younger brothers to lead and many younger sisters to take care of.

When celebrating his birthday in December, Qin Ge invited a dozen friends and classmates to the party.Five or six-year-old children were playing police and catching thieves in the courtyard and the living room on the first floor. Qin Ge chased the last fish that slipped through the net. It's gone." The concealed door opened from the outside, and Chen Wang appeared in front of Qin Ge with a boy.

Qin Ge let go of his little hand, and the captured boy took the opportunity to slip away, giggling behind Qin Ge, and asked him to catch him again, but Qin Ge seemed not to hear him, breathing heavily in his chest, tilting his head, blinking, and looking at him This boy who is thinner and shorter than himself.

His gaze was too straightforward, Chen Qiye lowered his head, only staring at the small area where his feet stepped.

As if it was the first time he came to such a big house, Chen Qiye was nervous and at a loss.Chen Wang suspected that he had never seen the world, so he patted him on the neck without warning, and Chen Qiye suddenly raised his head, just in time to meet Qin Ge's eyes.

"...Are you Uncle Chen's son?" Qin Ge's voice was so loud that it seemed that Chen Xiye's "um" was as thin as a mosquito, and he was very petty.Chen Wang frowned, his words of dissatisfaction were on his lips, and Qi Miaomiao greeted him with two delicate porcelain plates with Ferrero on them.

"Why are you standing at the door, come in quickly! This is Xiaoye, hey, this child is so beautiful." Qi Miaomiao slightly squatted down on her knees, and handed a porcelain plate full of chocolates to Chen Qiye's eyes, asking him to go first eat some.Chen Qiye stared at the candy, and opened his hand as if to touch it, Chen Wang stopped him and said, "You are a bit self-conscious about being a guest."

Chen Qiye's shoulders trembled, and he withdrew his hands without taking a single Ferrero.Qi Miaomiao told Chen Wang not to be so strict with the child, and wanted to put some candy in Chen Qiye's pocket, but she didn't have time to spare, so she asked Qin Ge to take him to the living room to play, where the coffee table was full of snacks.

Qin Ge nodded, and took Chen Qiye's wrist to find other friends. The others were chattering, hoping that Chen Qiye would join their game, but Chen Qiye didn't speak shyly, just shook his head.

Qin Ge thought that he wanted to eat snacks more, so he left him in the living room, but every time he ran through the living room, Chen Qiye sat on the sofa without touching anything.

But Chen Qiye's attention was clearly on the colorful candies and chocolates, even though his peers of the same age were rushing around and making noise, he never took his eyes off the coffee table.

Qin Ge had never seen such a quiet person.His friends are all cheerful and confident, and they protect female classmates with him. He became interested in Chen Qiye, and deliberately limited the scope of the game to the living room. Khan stroked his hair back.Sure enough, Chen Qiye noticed that he pretended to be cool like an adult, and his eyes wandered between snacks and boys. In the end, Qin Ge pushed a boy to the ground and scratched his armpit. He heard everyone's laughter, and there was a smile on his face meaning.

Chen Qiye was attracted, but he still didn't join Qin Ge's game. In the evening, he had dinner and cake in the yard, and he also sat next to Chen Wang, not with Qin Ge's friends.

He kept his father's words in mind, and he should always look like a guest. Cake is something for children, and he was sitting among a group of adults, so he was not qualified to ask for a separate one.After eating the cake, the children all returned to the living room. This time they stopped running, but picked up the game consoles and operated them skillfully.That was still not Chen Xiye's world. He sat silently at a long table that fit the height of an adult. He could only see the food when he raised his head. Meat, my appetite is hunger than during the day.

After the children left, the courtyard became a place for adults to socialize. No one noticed that there was a boy sitting behind the long table, and even Chen Wang forgot about him—he was standing beside Qin Siyuan holding a wine glass, his gaze was the same as that of Qin Siyuan's. The others landed on the hostess as well, but the other hand hooked the palm of the hostess in a mysterious way.

Qin Siyuan felt that Chen Wang had crossed the line, glanced calmly from Qi Miaomiao to the long table, and casually grabbed that naughty finger back.Qin Siyuan didn't notice Chen Qiye either, because Chen Qiye just lowered his head, staring at the chocolate candies under his dangling feet.

Chen Qiye didn't know when this candy appeared, but it was indeed right in front of his eyes.After struggling in his heart, he jumped off the chair and was about to pick it up when the chocolate ball slipped through Chen Qiye's fingers and stopped two meters away from him.

Hunger delays a person's reactions and brain thinking.Before he had time to think about why the chocolate moved, Chen Qiye crawled over slowly, and the candy also moved slowly.By the time he realized what he was doing, he was already standing in front of a slide. On the left side of the slide, the adults were talking and drinking, and on the right side, the children were playing games in full swing.Only Chen Qiye looked up at the slide leading to nowhere, and lowered his head, the chocolate ball was on the step.

He pounced on it, and the chocolate ball deftly rose, and then stopped at a place that Chen Qiye couldn't reach.

Chen Qiye hesitated.He is a guest, so he must have the self-consciousness of being a guest, but the image in his mind is still lingering.Every time he went to the supermarket, he would stop in front of the imported snacks aisle, wanting to taste the difference between those beautifully packaged chocolates and the fifty cents in a small shop in the village. His mother could see his desire, but could only Raise your hands above your head, that means it's too expensive, they can't afford it.

Chen Qiye is a sensible and good boy, he won't cry and ask his mother to buy it for him, it's good to feast his eyes, but he is really hungry now, being pushed by desire, he carefully climbed up the slide.

Instead of just staring at the chocolate ball, he looked up to the end of the slide.There was a small door open, and it was too dark to see clearly.

He should have been terrified, but he was picking up speed, climbing up as Chocolate led him.

He was about to succeed, and at the moment before the chocolate disappeared into the darkness behind the door, he finally caught the small ball quickly.Before he could be happy, something grabbed his wrist.An external force dragged him from the slide into the small door, and he was so frightened that he wanted to scream, and the lights in the attic came on.

"Caught it!" Chen Xiye heard the boy's joyful voice.When he opened his eyes, which were barely adapted to the light, Qin Ge ran up to him and hugged him like a trophy, with the thin string that pulled the Ferrero ball wrapped around his hand.
