stay with ghosts

"Chenchen, don't worry, I can support it for at least half a year." Hu Zhen was moved as he watched the child practice seriously.

"It's okay. It's very interesting. It's just that I don't know how to get the medicinal materials." Hu Yichen put down the brush and looked at the pattern on the rice paper. He has learned sketching for more than two months, and he can draw this complicated pattern smoothly. Sketching It can make him more fluent with the pen. He has begun to like drawing, and maybe he can stick to it.

Putting down the brush in his hand, he looked at Hu Zhen and smiled, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I'll call the Fourth Grandpa, and he will help me."

"Yeah." Hu Zhenpiao sat on the bed, "Fourth Master is a capable person."

After packing up the painting utensils, Hu Yichen prepared to wash and go to bed.As soon as I opened the door, I heard the voices of my parents outside.

"No matter what, Chenchen must follow me." Hu Lai said in a low voice.

"Do you have time to take care of him? He will live a normal life with me." Li Wan retorted.

"Are you normal? How much time do you have to discipline him every day in class, and you can guarantee that your future husband can accommodate your ex-husband's children." Hu Lai said mockingly.

"Oh, can you?"

"Of course, whether I get married or not in the future, Chenchen is my son, and do you think I will marry another woman like you?" Hu Lai was confident in himself, "Don't forget that Chenchen's surname is Hu, I can marry you." Give him whatever life he wants."

"He's not short of material—"

Hu Yichen closed the door gently to block out the sound.

Hu Lai and Li Wan have actually been separated for more than a year. The marriage has come to an end and they cannot continue to cheat. Both of them have prepared for this, and the divorce agreement has been prepared, but the two cannot reach an agreement on the issue of children. It was agreed that no matter how failed their marriage was, they both valued their relatives, not to mention that Hu Yichen was the child they had been looking forward to for many years, and even if they might have children in the future, it would not be this.

Because of Hu Yichen's custody issue, the two have been negotiating for half a year, but unfortunately neither of them can convince the other in the end, and they don't want to go to court over this issue, which will bring a shadow to the child. Perhaps a peaceful separation is the way for the two to leave the child last consolation.

Hu Yichen knows the situation of his parents. Sometimes children are more sensible than adults imagine. Apart from regretting not being able to live with their parents in the future, Hu Yichen himself is not particularly sad. He is neither cold-blooded nor particularly strong, but the sensitive Hu Yichen is more able to Feel a person's emotions as if he could express them through painting at will.This may be brought to him by Yin Yang Lu, or it may be a talent, who knows?

His parents love him.

Finally, the critical moment came. One day in April, Hu Yichen was picked up by Li Wan from his teacher's studio. He was sent to the studio by his mother every morning as if he was going to school. If Professor Huo Chang had time, he would teach him some painting. Skills, if he has no time, he will practice in the studio, and he is not afraid of losing a child. In Professor Huo Chang's studio, there are always a few students, either high school students or college students, and a dog who is learning from the teacher. Disciple, they take good care of this little junior brother. After all, children are cute and obedient, so no one would dislike them.

Professor Huo Chang's lover is a piano teacher. She has several young students, seven or eight years old or ten years old. Under the attention of the two teachers, Hu Yichen became friends with them. Hu Yichen who is low can easily get the care of slightly older children.Assimilated into city life, as his parents expected.

But Hu Yichen could clearly feel his mother's nervousness that day, and when he got home, he was surprised that his father Hu Lai was cooking in the kitchen, which is a rare thing.

Hu Yichen's favorite dinner was served on the table. Hu Lai and Li Wan always had smiles on their faces. They seemed to be a happy family.

After dinner, Li Wan went to wash the dishes, Hu Lai took his son to watch TV, and the atmosphere of silence spread.

Until the three of them sat in the living room, Hu Lai looked at his son nervously, and Li Wan had red lines around his eyes.

"Well, you know that my relationship with your mother is not particularly good. We tried hard but failed. Now we are going to separate." Hu Lai said with a bitter smile, "I know you are a smart child. Your mother and I have I love you very much, Dad hopes you can live with Dad, Mom wants you to live with Mom, we can't make a result, although we think we can give you a better life, but I think you can make a choice ?"

Li Wan reached out and stroked Yichen's hair, "I know it's hard, but you have to believe that no matter who you live with, we will never change, and our love for you will never change. We will love you even more you."

Hu Yichen looked at his father and his mother. The two felt guilty and nervous, but it was strange that when they talked, they always talked about us, not without feelings, but just not in love anymore.Hu Yichen suddenly felt that love was an insoluble puzzle.

Hu Zhen looked at the family of three and shook his head secretly. This is a difficult problem.

It took Hu Yichen a long time to give the answer, "I don't follow anyone."

The couple knew that the child could not accept it. Although he seemed very quiet, they hoped that the child could cry, which was also a way of venting.

"I don't follow anyone, I live by myself, if you love me, come back and see me, if you don't love me—"

"Chenchen, mom and dad will always love you. You still need mom and dad to accompany you, otherwise how about we take turns taking care of you?" Li Wan wanted to shrink back, or for the sake of the child?Li Wan glanced at Hu Lai.The two had helplessness on their faces.

There was no result that night, Hu Yichen went to the studio every day as normal, made two more friends, and found a Chinese medicine shop not far from the studio, but unfortunately he was too young to buy it.

After that night, Hu Lai and Li Wan didn't talk to their son again, guilt filled their hearts, and they also hoped to give Yichen a complete family, but they just started again, and all kinds of conflicts still existed.

After more than a month of this kind of life, Hu Yichen found that his parents were with him every day, and the divorce seemed to be his illusion. The two of them had always been very happy, but they still lived in two different rooms.He doesn't understand love and marriage, but he knows that they are unhappy, even though they are smiling.

"I want a home of my own, a home that belongs to me." This is Hu Yichen's insistence. He also loves his parents. These days, Hu Zhen often enlightens him in his ears. He is not a child who doesn't understand anything. He understands that two of the children he met in the studio have divorced parents. Divorce seems not to be a rare thing in this age. He has seen the parents of two friends, and it is obvious that they still love him (her), but he ( She) sometimes complains, complains that the parents don't care, complains about the father's remarried wife, and the mother's remarried husband, he (she) cannot be accommodated in the new family.

He is not a child who depends on his parents. He has been in his hometown for two years, but he can’t actually see his parents. They still love him very much. That’s enough, but he doesn’t want to complain like him (she).Maybe give parents the freedom to find a new life, and everyone will be happy.

He wants to have his own home. If you love me, he will come to see me. If you don't love me, then I will live by myself.

Hu Yichen has never been afraid of loneliness. He had a little brother when he was a child, and now he has Hu Zhen.

Hu Yichen's insistence was something Hu Lai and Li Wan could not have anticipated. The child had no resistance to their divorce, and the only thing he insisted on was to live alone, which neither of them could allow.It's just that this kid is very insistent on this point.They can't force it.

It wasn't until Hu Le and Hu Tian's family arrived that Hu Lai and Li Wan made a decision. The Hu family brothers opened a new logistics company. Half a year later, the income was very good, and now it has expanded to a fleet of [-] vehicles.It's just because the company is far away, Hu Lai doesn't meet the two brothers much.

At this gathering of the three families, Hu Lai finally talked about the depression in his heart to his two younger brothers.Who would have thought that the younger brother would support the nephew, "You and your sister-in-law are both young, and you will definitely remarry in the future. Since Chenchen doesn't want to live with you, let him live by himself. At that time, it will be impossible to hire a nanny at home. Let your parents Come here. What a big deal, this will save him from being awkward when you remarry in the future, Chenchen is not an ordinary child, and there will be no problems in life."

"Second brother is also right. You see, these boys in our family are older than him except for being fat, but Chenchen must decide to play together. He has an idea in his heart." So there is A child who is too smart and independent is really troublesome. It is better for my son to be stupid.

In the end, Hu Lai and Li Wan accepted this fact.Just as many questions.

Hu Lai and Li Wan can no longer give their son a complete family, but they still hope that their son can live a peaceful and warm life.

This may be the last collaboration between the two.

City D is a coastal city, and one of the sub-provincial cities. It is very prosperous. After careful selection, the two finally decided to buy a house in the college circle. There are eight universities, more than a dozen research institutes, and it is near the sea. It is famous everywhere. The park resort, museum and exhibition center are the main political, economic and cultural centers of D City, and more importantly, the primary and secondary schools here are the focus.life is very convenient.

The process of looking at the house was very cumbersome. For more than a week, the two of them looked at more than 20 places, but they were not satisfied.

Finally, she fell in love with a mid-level apartment building next to Li Wan's inaugural university.

City D has a lot of hills. After hundreds of years of development, the foundation of the city is uneven. Many buildings are built on the hills, like a mountain city.

This place is no exception. The buildings in the 80s are very characteristic. These apartment buildings were built for university professors. This batch of two-story four-family buildings has a symmetrical structure and is very spacious. There are tall plane trees around the buildings.There are cross roads formed on the mountain, and there are green groves further up. The environment is very good with a kind of tranquility unique to the university.

Hu Lai and the others value this place mainly because the people who live there are relatively simple, university professors, school students, or staff working in nearby research institutes. The roads are smooth, shopping is convenient, and there is an elementary school at the foot of the mountain.It takes less than half an hour to walk to middle school.Definitely the ideal location.

But Hu Lai is not very satisfied with the house. One is that the building was built in the 80s, the structure is not very good, and the heating measures are not ideal. The most important thing is that he does not want his children to live in the same building with other people. Children should have a wider of space.

However, this area is still very good. Hu Lai took time to wander around the community for three days, and finally decided on a plan.

"You want to buy all four of these houses? How is that possible?" Li Wan was a little surprised when she heard Hu Lai's idea. "Moreover, there are still procedures for remodeling. These houses belong to the school. I'm afraid it won't work."

"There's nothing wrong with it. The property rights of these properties have been changed last year. As for the reconstruction, it's easier. You don't have to worry about it. I'll do it. Just think about what the house will look like. Where Chenchen lives It must be comfortable and safe, and there is also the matter of finding a nanny, you must find someone who is reassuring."

"I'm at school. It's close to noon and I can accompany him to eat and take care of him. You can go home to stay at night, just find someone who cooks and cleans up the house."

"It's fine in a year or two, don't you get married anymore." Hu Lai didn't think so, he now understands the child's thoughts, if he and Li Wan have their own families, then the relationship with Chen Chen will probably be less , who knows what will happen in the future.So he wants to make some arrangements, no matter what happens to them in the future, the children will have a good life.
