reborn lover

The houses in the old city are dilapidated and the streets are dirty. Ten years ago, the houses here were very cheap. The small apartment on the west side of the community was dimly lit. It was a small house with one bedroom and one living room. A woman in her 40s brought A child lives there.

Those who live nearby often see women coming in and out, but rarely see children coming out.

A woman rarely greets her neighbors, and whenever she meets someone, she keeps her head down and walks her own way. Over time, everyone just knows that this woman is carrying a child, and they don't know anything about her.

When the child was still a baby, women would take the child out for a walk to bask in the sun. People outside saw a pretty little boy, and some people would come over to tease him when they saw the child was cute, but women always didn’t like it. I was very happy that someone else touched her child, and hurriedly took it back to the house.

Over time, others will not tease children anymore.

At that time, the child was still a baby, and others thought this woman was the child's mother, but they had never seen other men come here, and they only thought that this woman had encountered some misfortune, so she came out to live alone with the child.

It's no wonder that woman always looks weird and lonely.

Others will discuss that woman behind their backs, and they just think it's the poor woman...

When the child was young, the people who lived next door often heard the cry of the child in the middle of the night, making noise in the house all night, making others unable to sleep at night, and someone knocked on the door when there was no other way.

As soon as the door knocked, the children inside stopped crying. Although others thought it was weird, they didn't think about other things. Since the noise stopped, they went back to sleep.

If outsiders go in, they will see a cloth ball stuffed in the child's mouth, the crying child can't make a sound, and his face is flushed, the woman looks at the whimpering child and just curses , "Xingyou, crying in the middle of the night and keeping people from sleeping, it's so noisy that the neighbors are knocking on the door..."

Then I went to sleep, ignoring the crying children.

Rich children are raised by rich people, poor children are raised by poor people, and hard-fated children grow up in the same way.

The woman is not the mother of the child, she is a widow without children, hired by a beautiful lady to take care of the child, one can tell at a glance that the child is the biological child of the beautiful lady, and the child has already begun to take shape when it was still a baby Beautiful appearance, like that beautiful young lady.

The widow saw the pretty lady only once, and after she gave her the child, she never showed her face except for the fixed monthly money.

At the beginning, when a woman brings a child, she will be scruples about his mother, afraid to come to check on the child, and she will be more careful when she brings the child, but the beautiful lady has never been to the child from a baby to almost one year old.

As if she knew that the beautiful lady would not come to see her child, the woman became less and less concerned about taking care of the child.

Children are difficult to take care of. When they were young, they would only cry when they were uncomfortable. Women would beat their children. If someone knocked on the door, they would stuff their mouths with things to prevent them from crying. Voice.

Children are more sensitive. They will remember when others treat them well, and they will remember others who treat them badly.

From crying babies to when they are two or three years old, children are not good at walking, and when they see a woman coming back, they will not go over to act like a baby, and always avoid women from a distance.

"Come here to eat, put it on the table and eat by yourself." Women never feed their children. When hungry children see food, they crawl over to eat by themselves. Learned to use a spoon by myself.

Women don't care about him, as long as they don't starve to death.

This older child is still crawling around in the house. At this time, the woman saw that the child was older and no one needed to be watched all the time. In order to earn more money, she went out to the market to find a job. The restaurant just came back to get some food for the children. Sometimes they were too busy and forgot about the children at home.

The woman who went to work next door went to pick up her son who was studying after get off work. When she passed by the small apartment, she saw a child sitting behind the iron gate. The child looked very thin and malnourished.

People often have a heart of compassion at this time, knowing that the child's mother has no time to take care of the child at work, so she brings some bread and steamed buns for the child from her own room to eat.

"Mom, my brother looks very pitiful." The little boy said sadly pulling his mother when he saw the child who took their food and was eating.

Fortunately, this woman is also somewhat kind in her heart, and she has educated this kindness to her child, "My brother's mother may not have time to take care of him. He must be hungry or thirsty. When the baby sees his brother at the door when he is at home, he will Remember to bring him something to eat, he may be hungry and waiting for his mother to come home to feed him."

In fact, what this woman said is correct. The child will only run out of the house and sit at the door when he is extremely hungry, waiting for the woman to come back and give him food. Some people passing by will give him something to eat when they see the child is pitiful. .

Children know that there is something to eat sitting at the door, and when they are hungry, they will sit at the door and wait for others to give them food.

For many years after she grew up, Xi Le remembered the woman passing by the door of the small apartment, holding her child, patiently teaching her child to be kind, to give him food, and to come and play with him when he was free.

It's just that when he went back to look for that big brother, his family had already moved away, and he didn't know where they went, and he didn't see that big brother until he died.

"Little brother, my mother said that you are hungry because you are sitting here. Let me give you something to eat. Are you hungry? My mother didn't come back to cook for me. There is still porridge in the pot. You can only eat it today." Let's eat porridge." The little boy is about seven or eight years old, and he looks like a little adult.

He was holding a bowl in his hand with some porridge in it, and he was feeding the child mouthful through the small iron gate. His movements were obviously a little rusty, and the child's mouth was full when he was feeding. , very well-behaved.

The child was so thin that only a pair of big eyes remained. His eyes were beautiful, black and big, and his eyes looked at people slowly, as if he could talk.

Everyone who saw the child felt that if the child was not too thin, he would be a beautiful child.

After the little boy came back from school, he would sit at the door and play with the child, teach him to speak, and the first thing the child would say was "Brother...Brother..."

That day he went home excitedly and said to his mother, "Mom, my brother called me brother today."

"Hehe, is the baby happy? After that, you have time to talk to your little brother, okay? If you teach him to talk, he will talk to you more in the future, just like your mother chatting with you now, little brother I will also chat with you." This kind woman has changed her way of educating her children well.

A woman who goes out to work knows that people outside will give her children food, so she comes back even more late, and sometimes she doesn’t cook when she comes back too late, and she comes back after dinner outside, and she doesn’t bother to go home Cook.

When she is happy, she will bring back some food from outside for the children.

The most unbearable thing for a woman is that the children in the family will pee their pants for several years. When the feces and urine are stuck in the pants, it is the most unbearable for her. Often at this time, she will pick up any thing at hand. Hit the child and scold at the same time.

At this time, the child will cry when it hurts, and the woman will be beaten more and more.

People outside heard the child crying and knew that the woman was beating the child again at home. When the man next door heard the sound, he would come across the iron gate and tell the woman not to beat the child.

"It's only right for me to educate my children, so don't come and yell." The woman closed the wooden door in front of others.

When they went back, they beat the child again.

The happiest time for a woman is when the child's mother sends her money at the beginning of each month. At this time, she is in a good mood and treats the child better.

The mother of the child will call to care about the child and ask how the child is doing. Women always reply that the child is fine.

When the child starts to learn to speak, the child's mother will ask the woman to let the child listen to the phone, "Baby, call mom."

The woman standing next to him looked at the child covetously. The child didn't want to be called mother at first, but after being hit several times, every time a strange woman on the phone asked him to call him mother, he finally called out, " Mother."

The woman on the phone seemed amused to hear him call "Mom."

But the child knows that his mother is not the woman who takes him. His mother is a mother, but she doesn't know how to hold his hand, and holds his hand gently like the brother's mother next door.

When Xi Le was young, he had very little concept of "mother". He only knew what the brother's mother next door looked like, but he didn't know what his own mother was like.
