Old Liu

Lao Liu carried the child on his back and walked aimlessly. The child was tired and fell asleep lying on his chest.The weather is so hot, the water on the body seems to have turned into sweat, which is leaking out one by one, and the back is sticky and wet.Lao Liu was afraid that covering the child would spoil it, and besides, the child already had prickly heat, and would act like a spoiled child and want to scratch it if it was a little hot. After such a day, how could it be good.When he went out this time, he was determined to find Lei Zheng. He sold everything he could sell in his previous residence, and gave away everything that could not be sold. He had no intention of going back. If you don't want to see me, bring the child to him, and you can live on by yourself." But deep down in his heart, he still hoped that Lei Zheng could say the words to start over, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't even want to see himself.The guards at home are all familiar. I have lived there for so long. At that time, he was obviously regarded as another master, but now he has become Zhang San Li Si in people's mouth.Even if he reported his family name, they were unwilling to listen to him. If Lei Zheng hadn't told him in advance, how could they be so impatient with him?

Old Liu felt disheartened for a while. He knew in advance that it was impossible for Lei Zheng to live with him anymore, so he just wanted to return the child to him, and he was looking for a job in City X to watch them, so even X I have found the cheapest place to rent a house in the city.The big bags and small bags received a lot of blank stares, and finally arrived at the rental area, and there were indeed a lot of rental houses, all confusingly full of similar alleys with minor differences.Old Liu was so tired that the soles of his feet were smoking, and finally found a house. It was on the top floor, one bedroom and one living room. He asked for 230. He paid back 200. After saying countless good things, the landlady reluctantly agreed. There are a lot of things that cannot be damaged. If you are careful and safe, you are an enthusiastic person.

The house is really like a snail shell, empty and nothing, just a wooden bed. Lao Liu found blankets and other things from the luggage, first made the bed for the child, and carefully untied him. His hair was wet from top to bottom. He was sweating a lot, and as soon as he put it down, he kicked his calves, raised his fists, and fell asleep soundly.Lao Liu was really exhausted, so he wiped his sweat with a soft towel specially bought for the child, rinsed himself with cold water, wiped the wooden bed with a rag, and lay down beside the child, holding a cattail fan for him. Fanning the wind, I couldn't resist the drowsiness, and gradually fell asleep.It was a dark night, and he fell asleep unconsciously until the sun went down. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the child was lying on his body, playing with a big cattail fan in both hands.Seeing him open his eyes, he hurriedly threw away the cattail fan, threw himself on his father's face and kissed him, and said, "Dad, the baby wants to eat."

Only children can make him feel at ease.

There was really nothing delicious in the room, and there were a lot of things to buy, so I tidied it up hastily, and went out with the child in my arms.I followed the landlord for a while, but I still didn't know the way, so I could only walk forward. I went to the street, entered a small restaurant, and ordered a meal. It looked dirty, with a large layer of grease on the table, my child To lie on the table and play with the straw crickets he just bought, Lao Liu took a newspaper from the side table and gave him a cushion.As soon as it was unfolded, the whole person was shocked like an electric shock, his body froze involuntarily, his fingers unconsciously caressed that dreamy face, as if his eyebrows and eyes had been deeply penetrated into his bones, the fingertips passed through the eyebrows, passed through the nose and passed through the lips, then The people on the paper also become three-dimensional, as if breathing and hearing each other, but they no longer belong to themselves.

"Lei Zheng... Jinwu Zangjiao... Girlfriend..."

Isn't this kind of entertainment news the favorite thing to write about which sparrow has climbed a high branch and become a phoenix again, but why is it him, and let me see it at this time?Old Liu stared at Lei Zheng, who looked like an elite, wishing he could burn a hole in his face, isn't it because he hasn't seen him for two years?Throw me into the Pacific Ocean, even if I am an old lump, I still laid an egg for you, now this baby can eat, sleep, and make trouble, tossing me out of shape.Old Liu complained passionately in his heart, hoping that this complaint would ease his mood, but his nose was so weak that it gradually turned red, and tears poured into his eyes, no matter how he pressed it back, it was useless.When the meal was served, Lao Liu didn't pay attention, he just stared blankly at the photo of Lei Zheng in a neat suit. It's been more than two years since he saw him. He has the demeanor of a mature man. Unlike himself, he's just going downhill. The older you are, the weaker you are to the point where you need warmth and companionship.

"Spicy, spicy, Dad, spicy." The child sitting in his arms, who may have eaten a piece of chili, yelled and blew, with tears in his big eyes.

Lao Liu hurriedly told him to open his mouth, but there was still half a piece of red pepper left in his mouth, and he was told to vomit, the child stuck out his tongue and called "Papa" pitifully.It turned out that when Lao Liu was in a daze, the child was hungry, so he held the spoon sideways and hurriedly scooped up a few large spoonfuls of rice and stuffed it into his mouth. Mouth full of spicy panic.

Lao Liu poured some cold water for him to rinse his mouth, and after rinsing, told him to drink the cold water, and he obediently puffed up his cheeks to suck it in. Lao Liu sighed in his heart and thought: Son, son, your dad has a newcomer. I won't care about your father, a man who can give birth to children, and I won't want you anymore. You can live a hard life with your father in the future.Severely crumpled up the newspaper, threw it into the trash can, forget it, old Liu, stop dreaming about your spring and autumn dreams, and think that other people are lovers, just like you, thinking about someone is silly Foolish thinking about a lifetime.

The child was terrified, and Lao Liu would not feed him any more, but his little mouth was tightly closed, and he refused to eat.Old Liu became cruel, and ordered him a bowl of corn rib soup, and another small bowl to soak the rice in. Then he happily ate it with a spoon, until his face was covered with rice grains.This child has his own personality and is easy to raise. He is not picky and will eat whatever he wants.Old Liu thought a little bit sadly, son, son, you are a miserable little person.

After dinner, the child refused to be hugged by his father, and staggered ahead by himself, sometimes running with short legs.I bargained along the way, bought bedding and daily necessities, still tied the child to my chest, carried a bunch of things, and rushed back.The child is getting older, and he is willing to walk on his own, and he is unwilling to be tied up by his father in this way. Only by running quickly can he not make a fuss.

After a few days of shopping and cleaning, I finally had gas pots and pans, and finally I was able to cook something delicious for my children. Old Liu also felt a little more stable in his heart.It’s just that this small house is very hot, steaming like a stove, and the child is sweating profusely, wearing only a small jacket, running around the room, shouting and venting his boundless energy.

Lao Liu sat on the bed to settle the accounts. He only had a little money in his body. After spending these few days, there is not much left. He has to raise children in the future.Old Liu thought that he had to find a job, but he couldn't help worrying about this little thing he couldn't get rid of.He has no academic qualifications, no skills, and no acquaintances here, and he feels a little regretful. Why did he impulsively rent such a house here when he came back from Lei Zheng's place that day? I bought it all.Can't see him, no results, wouldn't C City be better?I always hold that unrealistic fantasy in my heart, thinking that I can meet him again...

Regardless of his sadness and melancholy, the child jumped into his father's arms warmly and said crisply, "Dad, I want popsicles."

Old Liu saw that he was out of breath from playing, his little face was rosy, very cute, he nodded his nose and said: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, you little bastard, you are not as good at raising a pig as you are." .”

"Little pig can't call daddy." The child replied loudly, and at the same time stood on tiptoe and kissed daddy, "Baby can kiss daddy."

Old Liu darlingly hugged him into his arms, laughed loudly and said, "Hey, Dad will buy you popsicles."
