How to Build a Harmonious Family

That night, Xia Junyan who passed by pulled him back from the brink of suicide with a few words, and the two words that touched him the most and changed his mind were "family".

This happened to me when I was very young.

At that time Teng Xu had just entered primary school, the first grade.He developed a little slower than his peers, with thin arms and legs, a small one, and looked easy to bully.My mother was worried that something would happen to him, so she picked him up and down from school twice a day.

It was nothing at first, but later Teng Xu found out that the tall boys in the class all went home alone without their parents to pick them up, so he felt that he was inferior.So one day, because of work, my mother couldn't get to the gate of the elementary school before school in the afternoon, Teng Xu got distracted, and instead of waiting at the gate, he took a small path and went home by himself.

He felt that this was a great opportunity to prove himself.

Mother was walking on the main road, which happened to be different from Teng Xu's. After arriving at the school gate, she didn't see anyone, and she was in a panic. Teng Xu was caught on the way.

Teng Xu remembered very clearly that when his grumpy grandma saw him, she scolded him for being ignorant and running around. Grandpa advised her not to get angry. Only his mother cried the moment she found him.When there were people on the street, my mother didn't want passers-by to see her embarrassed appearance, so she turned her back.

Mother's tear-stained face and swaying shoulders, when I think back more than ten years later, I feel like I am right in front of me.

When he heard Xia Junyan's "casual" words, Teng Xu thought that he would die as an unpopular gay, but he didn't want his mother to cry for him again.

After Xia Junyan left, Teng Xu took out his mobile phone from his school uniform pocket and turned it on. Sure enough, he saw dozens of missed calls from dusk until late at night - his parents must have been anxious to death.

Teng Xu turned around and called his mother while walking along the stone ladder to the river bank.The phone was connected quickly, and the mother's sobbing voice came from the receiver: "Son, why don't you go home? Where are you?"

"Immediately...I'll be right back." Teng Xu avoided his mother's question, since he had given up suicide, there was no need to let his mother know that he was on the bank of Fujiang, otherwise she would definitely be even more anxious.

"I, I went to the video game city with my classmates in the next class at night. I didn't find that the phone was out of battery. I just borrowed a charger to charge it." Before his mother asked, Teng Xu made up a reason for himself.This is actually a bit of a cover-up, but the mother was anxious and only wanted to let Teng Xu go home quickly, so she didn't notice these strange things.

"You don't need to pick me up, um... I'll take a taxi back." Teng Xu said in a low voice, "...I'm sorry."

Teng Xu thought that the excuses he made were not very convincing. After returning home, his parents would definitely ask him why he lost contact for a few hours, but on the second and third days after that... neither of his parents said anything. Ask him about that night again.It was as if the loss of contact had never happened, and their lives went on as usual. It wasn't until half a month later that he was suddenly informed that he was going to have an extra brother or sister.

The mother has been pregnant for three months, and he is the last person in the family until this matter - this makes Teng Xu very unhappy.He is about to become an adult, and if his second child is born, there will be an 18-year age gap with him, not to mention how to bridge this huge generation gap, when he thinks that he will have to drag this child with him in the future, Teng Xu feels that Very painful.What's more, the second child will take away the love of parents.

Teng Xu can't accept the reason of wanting to have both children. They are not from a wealthy family. Now that the cost of raising a child is so high, one more child will undoubtedly add to the financial burden of the whole family.Teng Xu believes that he understands this truth, and his parents must understand it too.

But why did they insist on keeping this child?Teng Xu couldn't figure it out.

Before Teng Yunran was born, Teng Xu collided with his parents many times because of this matter. The big and small quarrels ended, and the relationship between them gradually cooled down.Teng Xu felt that he could not communicate with his parents, so he became more and more closed in his heart, and slowly learned to be patient and perfunctory.It was also from that time that Teng Xu started to put on a fake smile habitually, using it as an armor for self-protection.

"You're really handsome when you smile, and your dimples are so sweet." Xia Junyan raised her lips, turned her face to look at Teng Xu, "You must have been chased by many people at school, right?"

"Yes, yes...but I didn't intend to talk to any of them." Hearing Xia Junyan's praise, Teng Xu's ears immediately burned again, and he murmured, "I just want to talk to the person I like. in love."

"Who isn't." Xia Junyan paused, then suddenly asked, "Let me ask you, have you ever fallen in love with several people at the same time?"

"...What?!" Teng Xu was taken aback, "First, generally speaking, this kind of situation is unlikely... Uh, there may be some people who are like this, but I don't know much about it."

"Isn't falling in love with several people at the same time an excuse for scumbags to cheat on themselves?"

"Oh——" Xia Junyan ended the topic a little depressed, "I'm just asking casually, don't take it to heart."

Teng Xu thought that Xia Junyan suspected that he was that type of scumbag, so he was a little frustrated.

Of course, Xia Junyan is not doubting Teng Xu, but trying to find comfort.In fact, Xia Junyan really wanted to hear an affirmative answer to the question just now. He hoped that there were other people in the world who were like him.

After walking to the subway station, the two took two stops together. Teng Xu got off the bus first and went back to school, while Xia Junyan went to the second courtyard of Fuda University alone.

Although it took a lot of time to have a meal at M Ji, and walked a long way slowly, Xia Junyan was still the first one to come.The doctors in the hospital usually leave work at 05:30 or [-]:[-], and his colleagues should still be working, so Xia Junyan decided to go to the ward to see the teacher first, and wait for others to come with the teacher.

Xia Junyan has been in the Second Hospital of Fuzhou University since she first came into contact with clinical practice. She has worked for several years, and it has only been more than three months since she was transferred. She is very familiar with everything in the Second Hospital, and the staff of the Second Hospital basically know each other. He, he walked all the way, and received cordial greetings from many old colleagues.

Arriving at the ward where the teacher was at ease, Xia Junyan knocked on the door twice and went straight in when she saw that the sliding door was ajar.Dou He was sitting on the hospital bed reading literature, looked up and saw Xia Junyan coming, and immediately greeted him eagerly to sit by the bed, the question Xia Junyan was most afraid of when he asked——

"Did you find your girlfriend?"

Here we go, good night everyone...
