Cinderella's Gypsophila

Qi Shengbin and Qi Yan took grandma to the hotel.

Grandma: "Xiao Yan can stay here tonight."

Qi Shengbin: "Uh, Mom..."

Grandma: "What? I took my grandson to sleep overnight and talked about it, what's the matter, are you still not allowed?"

Qi Shengbin quickly apologized.

The main reason was that he was afraid that his mother would talk about him and Meng Xinlan behind his back.

His son was originally rebellious, and then he was incited...

The consequences will certainly not be good.

But he couldn't hold back his mother, so he had to agree.

Xiaoyue was carried by his father from the road, and fell asleep the whole time.Under the dim light, grandma asked Qi Yan:

"Xiao Yan, what's the matter with you?"

"Why do you get along well with Meng Xinlan's son? His mother beat him, and you still protect him?"

"Xiao Yan, grandma can't control who you make friends with, but who made your mother like that, have you forgotten?"

Qi Yan: "I haven't forgotten."

Grandma: "Then you still talk to him?"

Qi Yan smiled wryly.

He talked to his grandma and said what kind of struggles he had experienced during the past few days to survive.

Qi Shengbin and Meng Xinlan treated him harshly every day.

He couldn't even eat enough and was beaten, only Cheng Cheng secretly protected him.

If there is no Cheng Sheng.

If Cheng Cheng wasn't there, he wouldn't know what kind of life would be worse than a pig or a dog.

The old lady in the countryside couldn't read, but she was reasonable, and she burst into tears after listening to it.

"My poor grandson, my poor little one!"

"Oh, it's all my fault!"

"Your dad, when he was young, was obsessed with that vixen Meng Xinlan. He was so obsessed! I don't think she is a good person. I stopped your dad from being nice to her, asked someone to introduce someone to her, and then introduced him to your dad. your mother."

"Finally, both of them got married. I thought it was all right, but who would have thought of it!"

"If I had known it would be the ending now, I would have just let him live with that vixen for the rest of his life. It's not a good thing anyway!"

"It's all my fault."

"I was the one who killed your mother all her life, and even your children!"

……

Grandma cried for a while.

She thought that all her life, she had worked hard, worked hard, and never done anything harmful, so why did she give birth to such a debt-collecting son as Qi Shengbin? !

Tiger poison doesn't even eat its son, but her son doesn't even love her own grandson.

If she was ten years younger, still strong and capable of planting land, she would definitely take her grandson away.

Unfortunately, it is really old.

In the past few years, my legs and feet have not been good, and my waist has not been good.

Taking care of Xiaoyue is very difficult.Xiaoyue is seven years old and is about to go to primary school. The nearest primary school in their village has to be traveled ten miles. Qi Shengbin also pushes back and forth about tuition fees, and she is still worried about what to do.

"Grandma," Qi Yan said softly, tugging at her, "I want to visit my mother during Chinese New Year, can you take me there?"

Grandma sighed.

What else could she do for her grandson?

It is impossible not to agree to this request.

Grandma and younger sister were sleeping next to each other, and the familiar little milk fragrance wafted from the younger sister's body, Qi Yan closed his eyes at ease.

But when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly thought of——

It's almost Chinese New Year, so there shouldn't be a power outage tonight, right?

If the power fails, my brother will freeze to death.

He's not around today, so don't cut off the power.

……

The next morning, before going to Qi Shengbin's house, grandma made a special trip to wrap a red envelope for Cheng Sheng.

Seeing that Meng Xinlan didn't see it, she dragged him over.

"Come on, baby, take it."

Cheng Cheng: "Grandma?"

He knew that Grandma Qi Yan didn't like him.I came home all day yesterday and didn't even look at him.

"You are also a good boy, and it's not easy for you," grandma sighed, "Get along well with Xiao Yan, no matter what you are, you should be good friends."

Cheng Cheng's nose was slightly sour, and he nodded hurriedly.

After a while, Meng Xinlan grabbed him at the opportunity, and stretched out her hand: "The red envelope is here, let me see!"

Grandma is not rich.

Each of the three children gave one hundred lucky money, which is already a lot.

Meng Xinlan: "Hmph, that's all?"

Meng Xinlan: "Forget it, at least I'll give it to you, the old hag looks a bit like an elder. You can buy your favorite books and toys by yourself!"

100 yuan is two crumpled fifty.

Cheng Cheng gave fifty of them back to Xiaoyue and asked her to keep them in her small pocket.

"I'll buy you candy."

"Thank you brother Xiaosheng." Qi Yue smiled, showing her baby teeth, "Xiaoyue doesn't buy candy, Xiaoyue keeps it and buys medicine for grandma to see a doctor."

Cheng Cheng was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes, and touched her braid.

Xiaoyue burst into a bright and innocent smile.

It's so beautiful, so cute.

But the emotion that crossed his chest at that moment was inexplicably uncomfortable.

It seems true, it's not easy for all.The ignorant, optimistic, helpless, and resentful are all very difficult in this family.

But why?

He often reads books. Compared with the protagonist in the book, the home he lives in is actually not so ruined and tragic.

The most ordinary reality can be even more suffocating.

……

It was the afternoon of New Year's Eve when grandma took Qi Yan to see her daughter-in-law.

In the nursing home, Qi Yan finally saw his mother again.

She was busy looking for things in the room.

Qi Yan called out to her mother in a low voice, and she turned her head.

She was as ignorant as a girl, and she still didn't know him, as if looking at a stranger.

"I'm looking for my necklace." After a while, she finally came over, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes, she bent down and asked Qi Yan gently, "My necklace is missing, have you seen my necklace? "

Qi Yan shook his head, with a lot of sadness secretly in his eyes.

He whispered to grandma, "Which necklace is mom looking for?"

Grandma wiped her tears: "Which one else is it, the one your dad gave her when she got married!"

Qi Yan remembered.

He had only seen that necklace once or twice, but because of its unique design, it left a deep impression on him.

The necklace is made of gold, a bit big and heavy, with a world map engraved on the front and back, the middle of the necklace can be opened, and a photo can be put in it.

It is very precious, and my mother has always been reluctant to wear it, and put it in a small box.

I only take it out occasionally to have a look, and every time I look at it, I smile.

When he got home that day, Qi Yan ransacked the boxes.

Qi Shengbin: "Hey, what are you looking for!"

Qi Yan: "I'm looking for mother's necklace."

Qi Shengbin: "Where is the necklace?"

Grandma: "Just the one you bought for her in Shanghai when you got married!"

It's fine if she doesn't say anything, but when she mentions Qi Shengbin, she starts to complain.

Complaining that she took Qi Yan to a nursing home without telling herself, saying one by one, "How can a child go to that kind of place, what to do if you are frightened by neurosis, what to do if you get sick!"

"Okay, Qi Yan, don't turn around, I told you that I'm not here!"

"Your Aunt Meng is not at home, you messed up her things! She will talk about you again later!"

"Your mother, I like to hide things every day, who knows where it is hidden! Maybe it's gone long ago, and I pawned it off to her brother to pay off the debt!"

Grandma couldn't bear it when she heard that, she went to the balcony to get a broom and chased his son, scolding him for being obsessed with the fox spirit.

For those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, chickens fly like dogs.

Xiaoyue cried, and they reluctantly ceased fighting.

After all, it is Chinese New Year.

For the sake of the children, everyone bear with it!

……

Cheng Sheng and Meng Xinlan were not at home in the afternoon of New Year's Eve because Meng Xinlan took Cheng Sheng out to buy clothes.

On New Year's Eve, major shopping malls have discounts, which are affordable.

But more importantly, it was because Meng Xinlan thought that grandma Qi Yan took Qi Yan out alone, and she took her precious grandson to spend alone, how could it be balanced!

Cheng Sheng is not good at shopping.

He is also not good at trying on various clothes, so he can only act like an absent-minded puppet and let Meng Xinlan dictate.

Clerk: "Oh, your young master is really handsome. His legs are long and straight, and his figure is so tall! This girl won't be fascinated by thousands of girls when he grows up!"

Meng Xinlan: "Isn't that right? I bought this coat, Xiao Sheng really looks good in it."

Cheng Cheng: "Mom, I have this kind, don't buy it."

Meng Xinlan: "No, buy it! This is a new model, my son wants the best in everything."

Cheng Cheng: "Mom, I really don't need to add more clothes."

Instead, it was Xiao Yan who was short of clothes.

Cheng Cheng was anxious, and secretly wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Uncle Qi, and he must not let his mother know.

At five o'clock, the mother and son came back.

Grandma: "Yo, you are really rich, can you make it like this?"

"Zao" means wasting money indiscriminately to them, Qi Shengbin hurriedly called: "Mom! Mom! Come and teach me how to cook dumplings!"

It's not easy for Meng Xinlan to be as knowledgeable as an old lady in the countryside when it's New Year's Eve.

Going back to the room, he staggered and yelled loudly: "Who has turned over my things? Qi Shengbin, are you so indebted for nothing?"

Once again, Qi Shengbin was not human at both ends.

In the evening, the family had their own thoughts and reluctantly ate a reunion dumpling.

Xiaoyue fell asleep after eating.

She has been clamoring for the New Year's Eve temple fair since a few days ago, but who would have thought that she would be so excited that she would run out of energy and show no signs of getting up.

Cheng Cheng put her on the bed: "Xiaoyue looks so cute when she is asleep."

"Well," Qi Yan covered her with a quilt, "Many people say that my sister and I look alike, is it true?"

Cheng Cheng: "Well, you're cute too."

"You are cuter."

Qi Yan "..."

He always felt that something was not right.

Finally, he came to his senses: "Who are you calling cute? I'm handsome!"

……

After the meal, Meng Xinlan was actually reluctant for her son to go out: "Xiao Sheng, you have been outside all afternoon, you are not in good health, be careful of getting tired!"

But still the same sentence, New Year's Eve lanterns are rare.

No matter how irritable she is, no matter how much she hates her son mixing with the little oil bottle, she can't make trouble and can only let him go.

As soon as he went out, Qi Yan dragged Cheng Cheng to the stall and bought a box of fireworks fairy sticks.

Fifty cents a box, twenty sticks in a box, small.

"Surely you haven't played this?"

He took out a broken lighter from his pocket and showed it to Cheng Cheng.

"The happiness of fifty cents is very worthwhile, you will know it when you look at it!"

The fairy wand is on fire.

The small fireworks in full bloom in the palm, reflecting the dark sky and the white snow, become a beautiful painting.

Qi Yan's pupils were illuminated into bright gold.

So vivid, so beautiful, so fresh.

but……

One went out, Qi Yan ordered another one, and handed it to Cheng Cheng: "It's not hot, don't worry about playing."

Cheng Cheng didn't pick up the firework, but stretched out his hand, with gentle and sad eyes, and gently rubbed Qi Yan's cheek.

His fingertips were slightly cold: "Xiao Yan, where did you go this afternoon?"

Qi Yan was taken aback for a moment, his voice was a little hoarse, and he turned his head: "I didn't go anywhere, I just went for a stroll."

Cheng Cheng: "You can't lie to me, your appearance tonight has never been right."

Qi Yan: "No, you think too much."

He turned around: "The lanterns over there are more beautiful, and I want to eat candied haws!"

……

Cheng Cheng bought him candied haws.

The two continued to look at the lamp and walked forward. Qi Yan raised his head all the way, holding his breath, and kept his head up as much as he could.

Cheng Cheng looked at him, and held his hand silently.

interlocking fingers.

When it stopped, it was already a dark alleyway.The lights are bustling, across the street.

Cheng Cheng: "Xiao Yan, no one can see us now."

"I can't even see your face face to face."

"You can cry."

"I know you are uncomfortable, don't bear it, okay?"
