my little monster sweet wife
Chapter 88
"Yuyou, why are you here alone?"
"Shh, mom don't talk."
In the tree-lined villa compound, Zhang Manli found out after she had changed her clothes, and saw her precious daughter squatting behind a well-trimmed bush, with a finger pressed to her lips, looking very nervous and cute up.Zhang Manli lowered her body cooperatively.
Today the gardeners came to build the fountain, and the roar of the machines not far away was very loud. Who would have noticed what they said?She leaned closer to her daughter's ear and asked, "Are you playing hide-and-seek with Aunt Xiaoxiao?"
Youyou said "hmm", the braids on her forehead danced lively with her nodding, she pouted and complained: "My legs are going to go numb."
"Stupid child, can't you hide in another place?" Zhang Manli looked at the sweat on her forehead and said with some distress: "There is an air conditioner in the room and you want to go outside to play, what should you do if you suffer from heat stroke?"
"I was hiding in the study room. Aunt Xiaoxiao found me soon. Her phone rang and she left. I thought she was not coming to see me, so I ran out with her." A three-and-a-half-year-old child with limited expressive ability , such a long string of words, she stammered for a long time.
Zhang Manli understood what she meant, and hugged her up: "It's even harder to find Aunt Xiaoxiao if you hide here. Let's go find her."
"Okay."
Standing up, the field of vision immediately widened, and Zhang Manli quickly found the target.
The housekeeper is supervising the construction of the workers. In the messy environment, a tall woman stands quietly under an osmanthus tree. She looks at the busy workers without blinking her eyes, as if she is watching some wonderful performance. The back view He looked very focused and didn't notice anyone approaching at all.
Zhang Manli followed her gaze and couldn't help wondering: Is a rock so beautiful?
The hot summer is coming. In order to make the yard a little cooler, their family decided to build an artificial fountain in the front yard. The statue in the middle is a mermaid, which is as tall as an adult and needs to be carried by a machine.
The sound of slippers stepping on the grass was completely drowned out by the sound of the crane. Zhang Manli walked behind the man with her daughter in her arms, intentionally scaring her, and shouted, "Hey!"
Wei Xiao turned his head slowly.
She didn't seem to be frightened, but Zhang Manli was startled by the expression on her face: "You...Are you okay?"
"Aunt Xiaoxiao, why are you crying?" the little girl asked awkwardly.
"..." Wei Xiao seemed to have just realized it. She turned her head away, wiped her eyes in a concealed manner, and said to the little girl, "No, Aunt Xiaoxiao was just squinted by the wind and sand."
"Really?" The little girl said naively, "Then let me blow it for you! When the sand got into Yoyo's eyes, it was my mother who helped me blow it."
Wei Xiao smiled, bent her knees, leaned her head closer, winked and said, "You play."
"Hu-hu-"
The girl held her face in her soft and short hands and blew very seriously.There is a scent of milk blowing over, which makes people feel warm in their hearts.
The corners of Wei Xiao's mouth curled up, and she wanted to laugh from the bottom of her heart, but Zhang Manli froze when she met Zhang Manli's puzzled and worried eyes.A second of unnaturalness was fleeting. She straightened her waist and touched the little girl's flushed face: "It's ready, thank you Yoyo."
"You're welcome." Yoyo said, rubbing her little hands.
Zhang Manli: "The sun is so bright, let's go in, Auntie has cut the fruit."
Wei Xiao: "Yes."
In and out of the house, one day at a time.
Two plates of fruit, one cut and one uncut, lay on the expensive mahogany table.Yoyo was carried to a chair by Zhang Manli, seeing the bright red watermelon, she couldn't wait to eat it.Zhang Manli grabbed her little hand that was about to move: "What did mother tell you? There are guests who want to let the guests eat first, you know?"
"Oh, I see." Youyou rolled her dark eyes and said, "I just want to give it to Aunt Xiaoxiao. Aunt Xiaoxiao, you eat."
The table is very big, and the girl's arm is not long enough to grab the plate for a long time.Wei Xiao dragged the plate over, took one piece of watermelon and handed it to her: "Yuyou eat first."
Mom asked the guests to eat first, but Aunt Xiaoxiao asked herself to eat first, who is she listening to?Yoyo looked at the two adults in embarrassment.
Zhang Manli patted her daughter's head lovingly, and said, "You can eat if Auntie tells you to eat, thank you Auntie Xiaoxiao."
"Thank you, Auntie Xiaoxiao." Youyou said sweetly, holding the watermelon and happily chewing on it.
Children can't eat too much watermelon, so Zhang Manli refused to let her eat after eating a piece of watermelon. Youyou was very obedient, she took a paper towel to wipe her mouth and hands, but she couldn't clean it with clumsy movements, Zhang Manli carefully helped her wipe it again.
"Youyou is so good." Wei Xiao looked at the little girl and said enviously.
After receiving the praise, Youyou proudly puffed out her small chest, and asked, "Does Auntie Xiaoxiao like me?"
Wei Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I like it. If I don't like it, I won't come to see you."
"Then... does Aunt Xiaoxiao like girls?"
"Well, Auntie likes girls."
"That's great!" Youyou clapped her hands happily and said, "Aunt Xiaoxiao, you can give birth to a daughter like a mother in the future, and then you can play with me!"
"..." When Yoyo asked that question, Wei Xiao didn't think in other directions, knowing that the child's innocence definitely didn't mean to ask her about her sexual orientation.For children, she really prefers girls, but she never expected that the eccentric Yoyo would actually mention the question of wanting her to have a daughter in the future.Her throat seemed to be stuck by something, and she couldn't make a sound when she opened her mouth.
Zhang Manli saw that the smile on her face changed from present to non-existent, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth with her hand.
Youyou couldn't speak, she stared at her mother with wide eyes and puzzled, and made a muffled sound.
"Yuyou, mother and auntie want to talk about some grown-ups, can you go play with grandma first?"
Grandma is not a real grandma, but an older nanny.Yoyo was brought up by her, so she got closer to her, and she didn't resist when she was taken away by the nanny.
Zhang Manli watched her daughter being carried to the room on the second floor, then turned her head and said to Wei Xiao, "Sorry, she's not sensible, don't take it to heart if she said something wrong."
"I don't think Yoyo said anything wrong."
Zhang Manli was choked by her, and said hesitantly, "I'm afraid you will be unhappy."
Wei Xiao laughed: "Why am I unhappy?"
Zhang Manli looked directly at her, and instead of answering, asked, "Why were you crying just now?" Feng Sha squinted his eyes, and it was okay to deceive children with such words.
"..." Wei Xiao silently grabbed a piece of watermelon, took a bite, and ate it slowly.
She didn't dare to say it, and Zhang Manli didn't dare to press her.
With the curtains opened, the sun shines in, and most of the temperature is filtered out by the thick glass.The workers in the yard are still busy.The crane hoisted the mermaid into the middle of the waterless fountain, and the white statue was almost transparent by the sun.
Wei Xiao watched it like this for a long time, until the watermelon juice flowed into her hands, and she finally recovered.
"Manly—"
Zhang Manli was the former Mrs. Chen. Since the two of them had a good relationship, Wei Xiao no longer called her Mrs. Chen.She didn't have many friends, and the only one she had close friends with was Yan Yun. Even she herself didn't expect that she and Zhang Manli would become best friends in the end.
She didn't want to think about or mention those words that had been buried in her heart for a long time, but at this moment, she suddenly had a desire to confide in them.Because she thought Zhang Manli could understand.
Zhang Manli made a gesture of listening.
Wei Xiao put down the watermelon, looked at the isolated and simple ring on her right ring finger, frowned and said in pain: "I miss her."
"... Ono?"
"Yeah." Wei Xiao raised his neck deeply and slowly and exhaled, "I miss Xiao Ye, I miss it very much. And my unborn child."
It's been a long time since she took the initiative to bring up these sad events. Zhang Manli didn't know how to respond, and asked cautiously, "Is there still no clue?"
Wei Xiao shook his head and looked at the osmanthus tree next to the fountain.
In the summer of that year, the tree had not been transplanted for a long time, and its leaves were sparse. In a blink of an eye, its branches and leaves were flourishing, and it would bloom in two months.
That year, a few men were grilling shirtless in the yard, and she sent Dou Xiaoye a WeChat message in the house asking what she was doing, but Dou Xiaoye didn't reply to her.
For three full years, 95 days, 280 [-] hours... Wei Xiao counted the days and lived every day, looking forward to Dou Xiaoye's return with the child every day, but she was disappointed every day.
She has never given up searching these years, but God seems to be playing tricks on her, leaving no clues for her, no matter how hard she tries, she still can't find it.
While playing hide-and-seek, she answered the phone and walked to the window, just in time to see the car carrying the mermaid statue in, and walked out in a mysterious way.
When she opened the door, the gate of memory was also pushed open, and the past came like a flood.
"Are there any mermaids under the sea?" She asked Dou Xiaoye half jokingly half curiously during a chat.
Dou Xiaoye thought about it seriously, and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen it. Those are just legends, do you believe it?"
Of course she didn't believe it.
Thinking back to that year, she and Dou Xiaoye had just confirmed their relationship. On their first date, she took her to the aquarium, and the two of them sat outside the glass to watch the mermaid show.Originally, she suggested to watch it. Seeing that Dou Xiaoye was fascinated by it, she felt uncomfortable, so she asked Dou Xiaoye whether the mermaid looks better or she looks better...
How naive at the time, but my heart was full of sweetness.
The machine was noisy and the sun was dazzling. She didn't know how long she stood there, and she didn't know when she started crying.All these years, she has been hiding and crying secretly, she doesn't want others to see her fragile appearance.
But it happened to be discovered by Zhang Manli.
Zhang Manli knew her secret, so it shouldn't be difficult to guess why she was crying.Missing is like a knife, one knife after another, piercing her heart, liver, spleen and lungs without pain.
In three years, Zhang Manli's daughter has grown up, why is her Ono still missing?
And their daughters...do they still have daughters?
Dou Xiaoye and the child are the deepest pain in her heart.She failed to protect them well, and she often hated herself for being incompetent and negligent.
Losing her wife and child on the same day, no one can understand her pain, and she doesn't intend to spread these negative emotions everywhere.
Dou Xiaoye's disappearance happened to be during the summer vacation, and Wei Xiao didn't tell the school teachers, including when Li Jiajia later sent a WeChat message asking if Dou Xiaoye had given birth, she didn't dare to make a fuss.
If Shen Qingqing hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten to go to school to help Dou Xiaoye resign.Now I am afraid that all the school leaders and teachers think that Dou Xiaoye is asked to be a full-time wife at home because she gave birth to a child.
Regarding the disappearance of Dou Xiaoye, she didn't want too many people to know, as if she could deceive herself that her Xiaoye was not gone, but she was just hiding temporarily, just playing a joke on her.
Over the years, she has searched almost the entire city A, looking for it herself, asking someone to look for it, and trying every possible method, but it was all in vain.
During the time when it was confirmed that Dou Xiaoye had an accident, her life was worse than death. The despair of finding no one almost knocked her down. She turned down all the work and hid in the room all day long without seeing anyone.When she was most depressed, she even had the idea of committing suicide.
It wasn't until one day that Wei Jianrong fell ill and a neighbor called her to tell her that she suddenly realized that she could no longer be so decadent.She also has three parents who have no less grief than her, and she still has so much responsibility on her shoulders.
It's so cold, is the air conditioner turned up?
Wei Xiao was forced to retract his thoughts and touched the goose bumps on his arms.
The workers struggled for a long time, and finally fixed the mermaid. The statue faced her side, with a compassionate smile on its lifelike face.Are you comforting her?
"Ah--"
"..." Zhang Manli looked at her with complicated emotions and suddenly smiled wryly.
When she heard the news of Dou Xiaoye's disappearance, Zhang Manli was very shocked, and at the same time felt a little guilty, because Wei Xiao was called to her home to celebrate her birthday on the day Dou Xiaoye disappeared, but Wei Xiao said she didn't blame her.
In the past three years, because of the child, she and Wei Xiao got along better and better, almost talking about everything, but she still didn't dare to mention Dou Xiaoye's name casually, because she was afraid of touching Wei Xiao's sad things.
After a wry smile, Wei Xiao returned to his expressionless face, staring outside with nothing in his eyes.
Zhang Manli knew that she no longer had the desire to talk, and regretted asking those questions too much, so she changed the subject and said, "If you want to eat, I'll throw it away for you."
Wei Xiao withdrew his gaze and pressed her hand: "What a waste to throw away." Chewing slowly, he finished the piece of watermelon that had only been eaten in one bite.
The watermelon rind falls into the trash can.
"By the way, someone gave my husband a stone a while ago, do you want to see it?"
The host warmly invited, Wei Xiao naturally would not refuse: "Okay."
The study is a relatively private place, and Wei Xiao dare not step in without the owner's permission.When she was playing hide and seek, she knew that Yoyo was inside, and she wanted to knock on the door to call her out, but a phone call came in.
"Here, this is it." Zhang Manli pointed to a dark blue stone that looked like a tea cake on the bookshelf and explained to her: "When he was filming the last movie, he visited Zhang Qiushan, the very famous calligrapher. , Mr. Zhang said that he was destined for him, so he wrote a word on this stone with a pen and gave it to him, and he took it back as a treasure and put it here, and every time he came home, he would show off to others."
If it weren't for the vigorous and powerful word "Yuan" on it, it would really look like a piece of blue glass.Wei Xiao watched it for a while, and said, "Master Zhang's words are worth a lot of money, and Director Chen should cherish them."
"Do you like this?"
"What do you like? Words or stones?"
"Stone." Zhang Manli held the stone in her hands, "I heard that you have been asking people to find stones for these years. I thought this was your special hobby."
"..." Back then, in order to find out Dou Xiaoye's true identity, Wei Xiao posted on Weibo asking for a stone, threatening that whoever helped her find it would be rewarded.That microblog was also on the hot search, which is a well-known fact.She didn't expect Zhang Manli to still think about it, so she paused and said, "This is not what I want."
After that Weibo post was posted that year, she received many kinds of stones from enthusiastic netizens, some of which looked very similar, but they were only "like".
Chen Kai didn't come back from filming in other places, Wei Xiao stayed here to have dinner with Zhang Manli's mother and daughter.
When I got home, it was already dark.The house was originally not that big, but it looked deserted without a person.
Wei Xiao was terrified of such desertedness, she didn't turn on the light, went into the bedroom in the dark, fell down on the big bed, took out her mobile phone, clicked into the photo album, and looked at the photos she took of Dou Xiaoye over and over again like masochistic, looking at Tears flowed down.
She seldom cried when she grew up so big, but she shed a lot of tears in the past three years, sometimes unconsciously, when she suddenly remembered a certain moment, suddenly saw something, she could always think of the little things she had with Dou Xiaoye , Tears flowed out reflexively, making people hard to guard against.
She seems to be crying a little too much today, but there is no need to suppress it in her own home.
The crying was interrupted by the phone ringing.
His eyes were blurred by tears, and it took a few seconds for Wei Xiao to see the name on the caller ID—Dean Chen.
She hurriedly sat up, wiped away her tears, adjusted her breathing, and pressed the answer button after confirming that the voice was not unusual: "Dean?"
Dean Chen: "I'm sorry, Ms. Wei, I called you so late, I don't know if it disturbed your rest."
"It's okay, I usually go to bed very late." The last time Dean Chen came to her because Xiaomei had a serious illness and needed an expensive operation fee. What happened?"
"No, no, don't be nervous, let me tell you slowly." Dean Chen smiled and said, "It's actually a good thing. Last week, a couple came to our orphanage to look after their children. They took a fancy to Xiaomei and wanted to adopt her. The procedures have been completed, and they will come to collect people tomorrow. I wanted to tell you during the day, but I was too busy and forgot."
"Someone adopted Xiaomei?" Wei Xiao raised her voice uncontrollably, and she switched the phone to the other side, "Is that family reliable?"
"We have investigated this clearly. People should be reliable. They like Xiaomei very much." Dean Chen said: "Why don't you come over tomorrow to take a look? It can be regarded as saying goodbye to Xiaomei."
Xiaomei is a child of the orphanage, and it is not up to Wei Xiao to decide who wants to adopt her, but after hearing what the dean said, she really wanted to go and see.
"Accompany me to the orphanage tomorrow." After talking with the dean on the phone, Wei Xiao sent Shen Qingqing a WeChat message.
Shen Qingqing didn't ask her why, but replied "Yes".
In the scorching summer, the concrete road was smoked by the sun, and the sprinkler passed by, and a bean-sized drop of water fell on the car glass.
Wei Xiao watched the water dripping and crawling on the dusty glass, and said to the driver beside him, "Your car should be washed, how can a girl's car be so dirty."
Shen Qingqing said without looking sideways: "The weather forecast said it will rain for a few days, and it will be clean when it rains."
Wei Xiao looked at her speechlessly.
Shen Qingqing didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said confidently: "This can save a lot of money."
"You don't have enough money?"
"Uh..." Shen Qingqing didn't expect her to ask such a question, so she turned her head and said, "I have enough for myself. Apart from food and lodging, I usually don't spend much money."
Wei Xiao looked at the sprinkler and said nothing.
"Are you trying to give me a raise?" Shen Qingqing was a bit at a loss for words.
Wei Xiao glanced at her lightly, and said lightly, "If you don't have any money, I can borrow it from you, and the salary increase will be waived."
Shen Qingqing stuck out her tongue.She is actually very satisfied with her current salary, she doesn't really want to raise it, and she doesn't have such a thick skin.Since Dou Xiaoye's disappearance, Wei Xiao has turned down all jobs other than advertising endorsements. The artist's work has suddenly shrunk, and the job of Shen Qingqing, an assistant, is in jeopardy.She once thought that she would lose her job, but Wei Xiao gave her a chance, signed a contract with her, hired her as a personal assistant, and even raised her salary.
For Wei Xiao, Shen Qingqing is very grateful, and she is willing to let Wei Xiao let her be a cow or a horse.But Wei Xiao didn't instruct her too much, let her drive when she went out, and let her run errands when she was needed, a lot of work, but they were all miscellaneous things, much easier than being an artist assistant.
She lived a chic life and gained more than ten catties in three years.On the other hand, her model is thinner when she is not working than when she was flying all over the world. If this continues, she will be skinny.
While waiting for the red light, Shen Qingqing looked up at the rearview mirror, she thought she was very secretive, Wei Xiao had already noticed her strong gaze.
"Is there something dirty on my face?"
Shen Qingqing was caught face to face, she smiled mischievously, and stopped talking.
"Just say what you want." Wei Xiao rested her forehead with one hand and met her gaze.
Shen Qingqing secretly glanced at the red light.There is still half a minute, enough.
She said, "I always thought you were going to adopt Xiaomei."
Wei Xiao was startled, adjusted his sitting posture, and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"You visit her at least once a month, buy her so many things every time, and pay for her treatment when she is sick, so I thought..."
Wei Xiao sighed and said, "If I want to adopt, I won't wait until she grows up."
After thinking about it, Shen Qingqing realized that there was a problem with her logic, so she shut her mouth and did not speak.
When they arrived at the orphanage, the skinny Xiaomei stumbled over, holding Wei Xiao's legs tightly with her two little hands, and called affectionately: "Aunt Xiaoxiao, you are finally here."
Wei Xiao squatted down and picked her up, kissed her paler cheek than other children, and said softly, "Miss me?"
"En!" Xiaomei nodded heavily, "If you don't come again, you may not see me."
"Why?" Wei Xiaoming asked knowingly.
"The dean said that I will have parents soon, and I will move to their house, and I may not see Aunt Xiaoxiao in the future." The little girl began to cry as she spoke.
Wei Xiao panicked immediately, and wiped her tears with a hand: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's a good thing to have parents. Aunt Xiaoxiao will often visit Xiaomei when she has time."
"really?"
"Of course it's true. When did Aunt Xiaoxiao lie to you?"
"Then let's pull the hook."
Seeing Xiaomei's hand stretched out, Wei Xiao was in a daze.
Long, long ago, that simple girl was coaxed by her to pull the hook.Later, the girl became her girlfriend and became her wife.Then, the girl disappeared.
As if infected by Xiaomei, Wei Xiao's eyes became moist almost instantly. She suppressed the enthusiasm, swallowed a mouthful of bitter saliva, and stretched out her little finger to hook the girl's little finger.
A few minutes later, Dean Chen led Xiaomei's adoptive parents over, and Wei Xiao shook hands with them friendly.
"I heard from Dean Chen that you have always taken care of Xiaomei. Thank you very much." Xiaomei's adoptive father said, "This is a little care from us. I hope you don't dislike it."
"You are too polite." Wei Xiao accepted the gift with a smile.
The couple seemed to be honest people at first glance. After they left, Dean Chen introduced the family situation of the couple in detail. In summary, they had a stable job, received higher education, and had no problem with their character. It was because the child died in a car accident. The two decided to adopt one because they felt lonely.After hearing this, Wei Xiao was completely relieved.
This time, Wei Xiao donated another 10 yuan to the orphanage.Dean Chen was surprised and grateful: "I don't even know what to say, how about this, I bow to you solemnly on behalf of all the teachers and children in the orphanage, thank you for your kindness to our orphanage over the past three years. Support and help!"
"Don't, don't, don't..." Wei Xiao was really ashamed to ask an old man who was nearly sixty years old to bow to her. She supported Dean Chen's waist.
Dean Chen wiped the tears from his eyes, and said with emotion: "It's really rare to see a star like you who does good deeds without letting others know. Miss Wei, you are really a great person."
Wei Xiao, who received a good person card, left the orphanage with a heavy heart.
Whenever someone came, those abandoned children would squeeze to the gate in groups, stretching their necks and watching every adult who came in and out.They didn't say anything, Wei Xiao seemed to be able to read their inner thoughts from their faces.
"Are you here to see me?"
"Can you take me away?"
"I just want a home, who can give me a home?"
"Mom and Dad, I will be very good and obedient."
……
Those eyes full of expectations and finally turned into disappointment were so distressing that Wei Xiao didn't dare to look at them any more.At this time, she would tell Shen Qingqing to drive faster.
The scenery outside roared by, and Wei Xiao remained silent.
She never considered adopting, but she comes here almost every month.
That Xiaomei was picked up by the courier brother back then, and she mistakenly thought it was her own child's abandoned baby.Because no one claimed her, and the police could not find the parents who abandoned her, the child was sent to an orphanage.
Because she was born prematurely, Xiaomei's physique is weaker than that of ordinary children. It is not easy to raise her. Wei Xiao has contributed a lot in this regard, mainly in terms of money.
Her help to Xiaomei was not because of sympathy and pity, but because she thought of her unborn child and transferred that guilt to Xiaomei.
It's not that she doesn't like Xiaomei, nor can she afford to raise children, but she can't do this because she understands that her feelings for Xiaomei are not that pure, and she always thinks about her unborn child and her love for other children It can never be transformed into maternal love.
In the future, Xiaomei will have a family, and she will no longer need to take care of her. She is really happy for Xiaomei.
But what about her child?Are you still alive in this world?
If she is still alive, she should be as big as Xiaomei, right?Are you strong?Is it high?Who do you look like?Ono has chosen so many names, which one will she like?
Ono Ono Ono... Where are you?
I can't think about it anymore, if I think about it again, she will collapse.She didn't want Shen Qingqing to see her crying bitterly.
"Where are you?" She looked at the unfamiliar environment around her.
"Just past the city government building." Shen Qingqing replied.
"Is there a Wanda in front?"
"Seems to be."
"Stop, I'm going to do some shopping."
Wei Jianrong likes to drink hot tea when playing chess with others. His thermos teacup was deformed and he didn't want to change it. Wei Xiao suddenly remembered and wanted to buy him a new one.
The car stopped at the entrance of the shopping mall, Wei Xiao didn't wear a hat or a mask, and just went down without a mask.
These years, Wei Xiao had long since ignored her image, and Shen Qingqing was not surprised, she pulled out the key and followed.
The first floor sells all kinds of clothing, shoes, bags and cosmetics, and the supermarket is on the second floor. Wei Xiao took the escalator up and went straight to the destination.
The shopping guide seems to have seen them and wants to come over to sell products.Wei Xiao was most afraid of this kind of thing, so she gave Shen Qingqing a look.Shen Qingqing understood, went up to meet the shopping guide and stopped the shopping guide halfway: "Do you have a water glass of the XX brand here? I haven't found it after searching for a long time."
"Here."
"Take me to have a look."
"Ok."
No one disturbs, Wei Xiao can choose slowly.On her left, Shen Qingqing was struggling to hold the shopping guide.On the right hand side should be the children's toy area. There is a man and a woman, and there seems to be a child.
"This is SpongeBob SquarePants, do you like it?" the woman asked.
"..."
"What about this one? Does Peppa Pig like it?" the woman asked again.
"..."
The woman lost her patience: "Why is this child like this? It's fine if you don't speak, and you can just nod and shake your head if you ask a question! It's so rude."
"Keep your voice down so she doesn't hear it," the man said.
The woman said: "What's the matter? It's obviously because your mother didn't teach it well. Let her scream that her mother is unwilling, so I don't want to raise it."
The man was a little annoyed: "Why do you say that about my mother?"
"That's what she said?" The woman said angrily, "This child is a white-eyed wolf, no matter how you raise him, you won't be familiar with it."
The man was also angry: "Why are you not familiar with her? People are very good in my mother's house. It's not because you are always angry at her."
The woman choked: "You think I have a bad temper, don't you? Divorce if you have the ability!"
The man clicked his tongue: "This is a public place, can you stop making trouble for no reason? Besides, is it appropriate to say this in front of children? How can you be so big...Wait, people?"
"Yeah—he was still here just now."
"Look, you've scared people away, why don't you hurry up and find someone!"
Here Wei Xiao has chosen the cup and is walking towards Shen Qingqing.The shelves on both sides blocked her view, and she didn't notice that a little girl ran out from behind and hit her when she turned around.
There was a solid "boom".
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you didn't hurt from the fall, did you?" Wei Xiao hurriedly squatted down.
The little girl's hair was cut in a mess, and she was wearing a white dress. She fell and lay on the ground without crying or making a fuss.Wei Xiao picked her up and wanted to see the expression on her face.
Pushing aside the jagged bangs and seeing the girl's white and transparent face like a porcelain doll, Wei Xiao stiffened as if her acupuncture points had been tapped.
The little girl was not afraid of strangers at all, her eyelashes flickered, her big round eyes looked back at her, she shook her head slowly, and said softly, "It doesn't hurt."
this sound...
There was a "buzz" in Wei Xiao's mind, and she unconsciously exerted force on the little girl's hand.Looking at the face in front of her that was so familiar that it would appear in her dreams every night, her tears fell silently.
It's so similar, it's almost carved out of the same mold.
Is she hallucinating?Still dreaming?
Her hand touched the girl's tender face, and the real touch made her tremble.
Not a hallucination, not a dream.
"Xiaoye..." Her voice floated in the air unsteadily, and she almost subconsciously pronounced the name deep in her heart.
The little girl tilted her head.
"Shh, mom don't talk."
In the tree-lined villa compound, Zhang Manli found out after she had changed her clothes, and saw her precious daughter squatting behind a well-trimmed bush, with a finger pressed to her lips, looking very nervous and cute up.Zhang Manli lowered her body cooperatively.
Today the gardeners came to build the fountain, and the roar of the machines not far away was very loud. Who would have noticed what they said?She leaned closer to her daughter's ear and asked, "Are you playing hide-and-seek with Aunt Xiaoxiao?"
Youyou said "hmm", the braids on her forehead danced lively with her nodding, she pouted and complained: "My legs are going to go numb."
"Stupid child, can't you hide in another place?" Zhang Manli looked at the sweat on her forehead and said with some distress: "There is an air conditioner in the room and you want to go outside to play, what should you do if you suffer from heat stroke?"
"I was hiding in the study room. Aunt Xiaoxiao found me soon. Her phone rang and she left. I thought she was not coming to see me, so I ran out with her." A three-and-a-half-year-old child with limited expressive ability , such a long string of words, she stammered for a long time.
Zhang Manli understood what she meant, and hugged her up: "It's even harder to find Aunt Xiaoxiao if you hide here. Let's go find her."
"Okay."
Standing up, the field of vision immediately widened, and Zhang Manli quickly found the target.
The housekeeper is supervising the construction of the workers. In the messy environment, a tall woman stands quietly under an osmanthus tree. She looks at the busy workers without blinking her eyes, as if she is watching some wonderful performance. The back view He looked very focused and didn't notice anyone approaching at all.
Zhang Manli followed her gaze and couldn't help wondering: Is a rock so beautiful?
The hot summer is coming. In order to make the yard a little cooler, their family decided to build an artificial fountain in the front yard. The statue in the middle is a mermaid, which is as tall as an adult and needs to be carried by a machine.
The sound of slippers stepping on the grass was completely drowned out by the sound of the crane. Zhang Manli walked behind the man with her daughter in her arms, intentionally scaring her, and shouted, "Hey!"
Wei Xiao turned his head slowly.
She didn't seem to be frightened, but Zhang Manli was startled by the expression on her face: "You...Are you okay?"
"Aunt Xiaoxiao, why are you crying?" the little girl asked awkwardly.
"..." Wei Xiao seemed to have just realized it. She turned her head away, wiped her eyes in a concealed manner, and said to the little girl, "No, Aunt Xiaoxiao was just squinted by the wind and sand."
"Really?" The little girl said naively, "Then let me blow it for you! When the sand got into Yoyo's eyes, it was my mother who helped me blow it."
Wei Xiao smiled, bent her knees, leaned her head closer, winked and said, "You play."
"Hu-hu-"
The girl held her face in her soft and short hands and blew very seriously.There is a scent of milk blowing over, which makes people feel warm in their hearts.
The corners of Wei Xiao's mouth curled up, and she wanted to laugh from the bottom of her heart, but Zhang Manli froze when she met Zhang Manli's puzzled and worried eyes.A second of unnaturalness was fleeting. She straightened her waist and touched the little girl's flushed face: "It's ready, thank you Yoyo."
"You're welcome." Yoyo said, rubbing her little hands.
Zhang Manli: "The sun is so bright, let's go in, Auntie has cut the fruit."
Wei Xiao: "Yes."
In and out of the house, one day at a time.
Two plates of fruit, one cut and one uncut, lay on the expensive mahogany table.Yoyo was carried to a chair by Zhang Manli, seeing the bright red watermelon, she couldn't wait to eat it.Zhang Manli grabbed her little hand that was about to move: "What did mother tell you? There are guests who want to let the guests eat first, you know?"
"Oh, I see." Youyou rolled her dark eyes and said, "I just want to give it to Aunt Xiaoxiao. Aunt Xiaoxiao, you eat."
The table is very big, and the girl's arm is not long enough to grab the plate for a long time.Wei Xiao dragged the plate over, took one piece of watermelon and handed it to her: "Yuyou eat first."
Mom asked the guests to eat first, but Aunt Xiaoxiao asked herself to eat first, who is she listening to?Yoyo looked at the two adults in embarrassment.
Zhang Manli patted her daughter's head lovingly, and said, "You can eat if Auntie tells you to eat, thank you Auntie Xiaoxiao."
"Thank you, Auntie Xiaoxiao." Youyou said sweetly, holding the watermelon and happily chewing on it.
Children can't eat too much watermelon, so Zhang Manli refused to let her eat after eating a piece of watermelon. Youyou was very obedient, she took a paper towel to wipe her mouth and hands, but she couldn't clean it with clumsy movements, Zhang Manli carefully helped her wipe it again.
"Youyou is so good." Wei Xiao looked at the little girl and said enviously.
After receiving the praise, Youyou proudly puffed out her small chest, and asked, "Does Auntie Xiaoxiao like me?"
Wei Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I like it. If I don't like it, I won't come to see you."
"Then... does Aunt Xiaoxiao like girls?"
"Well, Auntie likes girls."
"That's great!" Youyou clapped her hands happily and said, "Aunt Xiaoxiao, you can give birth to a daughter like a mother in the future, and then you can play with me!"
"..." When Yoyo asked that question, Wei Xiao didn't think in other directions, knowing that the child's innocence definitely didn't mean to ask her about her sexual orientation.For children, she really prefers girls, but she never expected that the eccentric Yoyo would actually mention the question of wanting her to have a daughter in the future.Her throat seemed to be stuck by something, and she couldn't make a sound when she opened her mouth.
Zhang Manli saw that the smile on her face changed from present to non-existent, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth with her hand.
Youyou couldn't speak, she stared at her mother with wide eyes and puzzled, and made a muffled sound.
"Yuyou, mother and auntie want to talk about some grown-ups, can you go play with grandma first?"
Grandma is not a real grandma, but an older nanny.Yoyo was brought up by her, so she got closer to her, and she didn't resist when she was taken away by the nanny.
Zhang Manli watched her daughter being carried to the room on the second floor, then turned her head and said to Wei Xiao, "Sorry, she's not sensible, don't take it to heart if she said something wrong."
"I don't think Yoyo said anything wrong."
Zhang Manli was choked by her, and said hesitantly, "I'm afraid you will be unhappy."
Wei Xiao laughed: "Why am I unhappy?"
Zhang Manli looked directly at her, and instead of answering, asked, "Why were you crying just now?" Feng Sha squinted his eyes, and it was okay to deceive children with such words.
"..." Wei Xiao silently grabbed a piece of watermelon, took a bite, and ate it slowly.
She didn't dare to say it, and Zhang Manli didn't dare to press her.
With the curtains opened, the sun shines in, and most of the temperature is filtered out by the thick glass.The workers in the yard are still busy.The crane hoisted the mermaid into the middle of the waterless fountain, and the white statue was almost transparent by the sun.
Wei Xiao watched it like this for a long time, until the watermelon juice flowed into her hands, and she finally recovered.
"Manly—"
Zhang Manli was the former Mrs. Chen. Since the two of them had a good relationship, Wei Xiao no longer called her Mrs. Chen.She didn't have many friends, and the only one she had close friends with was Yan Yun. Even she herself didn't expect that she and Zhang Manli would become best friends in the end.
She didn't want to think about or mention those words that had been buried in her heart for a long time, but at this moment, she suddenly had a desire to confide in them.Because she thought Zhang Manli could understand.
Zhang Manli made a gesture of listening.
Wei Xiao put down the watermelon, looked at the isolated and simple ring on her right ring finger, frowned and said in pain: "I miss her."
"... Ono?"
"Yeah." Wei Xiao raised his neck deeply and slowly and exhaled, "I miss Xiao Ye, I miss it very much. And my unborn child."
It's been a long time since she took the initiative to bring up these sad events. Zhang Manli didn't know how to respond, and asked cautiously, "Is there still no clue?"
Wei Xiao shook his head and looked at the osmanthus tree next to the fountain.
In the summer of that year, the tree had not been transplanted for a long time, and its leaves were sparse. In a blink of an eye, its branches and leaves were flourishing, and it would bloom in two months.
That year, a few men were grilling shirtless in the yard, and she sent Dou Xiaoye a WeChat message in the house asking what she was doing, but Dou Xiaoye didn't reply to her.
For three full years, 95 days, 280 [-] hours... Wei Xiao counted the days and lived every day, looking forward to Dou Xiaoye's return with the child every day, but she was disappointed every day.
She has never given up searching these years, but God seems to be playing tricks on her, leaving no clues for her, no matter how hard she tries, she still can't find it.
While playing hide-and-seek, she answered the phone and walked to the window, just in time to see the car carrying the mermaid statue in, and walked out in a mysterious way.
When she opened the door, the gate of memory was also pushed open, and the past came like a flood.
"Are there any mermaids under the sea?" She asked Dou Xiaoye half jokingly half curiously during a chat.
Dou Xiaoye thought about it seriously, and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen it. Those are just legends, do you believe it?"
Of course she didn't believe it.
Thinking back to that year, she and Dou Xiaoye had just confirmed their relationship. On their first date, she took her to the aquarium, and the two of them sat outside the glass to watch the mermaid show.Originally, she suggested to watch it. Seeing that Dou Xiaoye was fascinated by it, she felt uncomfortable, so she asked Dou Xiaoye whether the mermaid looks better or she looks better...
How naive at the time, but my heart was full of sweetness.
The machine was noisy and the sun was dazzling. She didn't know how long she stood there, and she didn't know when she started crying.All these years, she has been hiding and crying secretly, she doesn't want others to see her fragile appearance.
But it happened to be discovered by Zhang Manli.
Zhang Manli knew her secret, so it shouldn't be difficult to guess why she was crying.Missing is like a knife, one knife after another, piercing her heart, liver, spleen and lungs without pain.
In three years, Zhang Manli's daughter has grown up, why is her Ono still missing?
And their daughters...do they still have daughters?
Dou Xiaoye and the child are the deepest pain in her heart.She failed to protect them well, and she often hated herself for being incompetent and negligent.
Losing her wife and child on the same day, no one can understand her pain, and she doesn't intend to spread these negative emotions everywhere.
Dou Xiaoye's disappearance happened to be during the summer vacation, and Wei Xiao didn't tell the school teachers, including when Li Jiajia later sent a WeChat message asking if Dou Xiaoye had given birth, she didn't dare to make a fuss.
If Shen Qingqing hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten to go to school to help Dou Xiaoye resign.Now I am afraid that all the school leaders and teachers think that Dou Xiaoye is asked to be a full-time wife at home because she gave birth to a child.
Regarding the disappearance of Dou Xiaoye, she didn't want too many people to know, as if she could deceive herself that her Xiaoye was not gone, but she was just hiding temporarily, just playing a joke on her.
Over the years, she has searched almost the entire city A, looking for it herself, asking someone to look for it, and trying every possible method, but it was all in vain.
During the time when it was confirmed that Dou Xiaoye had an accident, her life was worse than death. The despair of finding no one almost knocked her down. She turned down all the work and hid in the room all day long without seeing anyone.When she was most depressed, she even had the idea of committing suicide.
It wasn't until one day that Wei Jianrong fell ill and a neighbor called her to tell her that she suddenly realized that she could no longer be so decadent.She also has three parents who have no less grief than her, and she still has so much responsibility on her shoulders.
It's so cold, is the air conditioner turned up?
Wei Xiao was forced to retract his thoughts and touched the goose bumps on his arms.
The workers struggled for a long time, and finally fixed the mermaid. The statue faced her side, with a compassionate smile on its lifelike face.Are you comforting her?
"Ah--"
"..." Zhang Manli looked at her with complicated emotions and suddenly smiled wryly.
When she heard the news of Dou Xiaoye's disappearance, Zhang Manli was very shocked, and at the same time felt a little guilty, because Wei Xiao was called to her home to celebrate her birthday on the day Dou Xiaoye disappeared, but Wei Xiao said she didn't blame her.
In the past three years, because of the child, she and Wei Xiao got along better and better, almost talking about everything, but she still didn't dare to mention Dou Xiaoye's name casually, because she was afraid of touching Wei Xiao's sad things.
After a wry smile, Wei Xiao returned to his expressionless face, staring outside with nothing in his eyes.
Zhang Manli knew that she no longer had the desire to talk, and regretted asking those questions too much, so she changed the subject and said, "If you want to eat, I'll throw it away for you."
Wei Xiao withdrew his gaze and pressed her hand: "What a waste to throw away." Chewing slowly, he finished the piece of watermelon that had only been eaten in one bite.
The watermelon rind falls into the trash can.
"By the way, someone gave my husband a stone a while ago, do you want to see it?"
The host warmly invited, Wei Xiao naturally would not refuse: "Okay."
The study is a relatively private place, and Wei Xiao dare not step in without the owner's permission.When she was playing hide and seek, she knew that Yoyo was inside, and she wanted to knock on the door to call her out, but a phone call came in.
"Here, this is it." Zhang Manli pointed to a dark blue stone that looked like a tea cake on the bookshelf and explained to her: "When he was filming the last movie, he visited Zhang Qiushan, the very famous calligrapher. , Mr. Zhang said that he was destined for him, so he wrote a word on this stone with a pen and gave it to him, and he took it back as a treasure and put it here, and every time he came home, he would show off to others."
If it weren't for the vigorous and powerful word "Yuan" on it, it would really look like a piece of blue glass.Wei Xiao watched it for a while, and said, "Master Zhang's words are worth a lot of money, and Director Chen should cherish them."
"Do you like this?"
"What do you like? Words or stones?"
"Stone." Zhang Manli held the stone in her hands, "I heard that you have been asking people to find stones for these years. I thought this was your special hobby."
"..." Back then, in order to find out Dou Xiaoye's true identity, Wei Xiao posted on Weibo asking for a stone, threatening that whoever helped her find it would be rewarded.That microblog was also on the hot search, which is a well-known fact.She didn't expect Zhang Manli to still think about it, so she paused and said, "This is not what I want."
After that Weibo post was posted that year, she received many kinds of stones from enthusiastic netizens, some of which looked very similar, but they were only "like".
Chen Kai didn't come back from filming in other places, Wei Xiao stayed here to have dinner with Zhang Manli's mother and daughter.
When I got home, it was already dark.The house was originally not that big, but it looked deserted without a person.
Wei Xiao was terrified of such desertedness, she didn't turn on the light, went into the bedroom in the dark, fell down on the big bed, took out her mobile phone, clicked into the photo album, and looked at the photos she took of Dou Xiaoye over and over again like masochistic, looking at Tears flowed down.
She seldom cried when she grew up so big, but she shed a lot of tears in the past three years, sometimes unconsciously, when she suddenly remembered a certain moment, suddenly saw something, she could always think of the little things she had with Dou Xiaoye , Tears flowed out reflexively, making people hard to guard against.
She seems to be crying a little too much today, but there is no need to suppress it in her own home.
The crying was interrupted by the phone ringing.
His eyes were blurred by tears, and it took a few seconds for Wei Xiao to see the name on the caller ID—Dean Chen.
She hurriedly sat up, wiped away her tears, adjusted her breathing, and pressed the answer button after confirming that the voice was not unusual: "Dean?"
Dean Chen: "I'm sorry, Ms. Wei, I called you so late, I don't know if it disturbed your rest."
"It's okay, I usually go to bed very late." The last time Dean Chen came to her because Xiaomei had a serious illness and needed an expensive operation fee. What happened?"
"No, no, don't be nervous, let me tell you slowly." Dean Chen smiled and said, "It's actually a good thing. Last week, a couple came to our orphanage to look after their children. They took a fancy to Xiaomei and wanted to adopt her. The procedures have been completed, and they will come to collect people tomorrow. I wanted to tell you during the day, but I was too busy and forgot."
"Someone adopted Xiaomei?" Wei Xiao raised her voice uncontrollably, and she switched the phone to the other side, "Is that family reliable?"
"We have investigated this clearly. People should be reliable. They like Xiaomei very much." Dean Chen said: "Why don't you come over tomorrow to take a look? It can be regarded as saying goodbye to Xiaomei."
Xiaomei is a child of the orphanage, and it is not up to Wei Xiao to decide who wants to adopt her, but after hearing what the dean said, she really wanted to go and see.
"Accompany me to the orphanage tomorrow." After talking with the dean on the phone, Wei Xiao sent Shen Qingqing a WeChat message.
Shen Qingqing didn't ask her why, but replied "Yes".
In the scorching summer, the concrete road was smoked by the sun, and the sprinkler passed by, and a bean-sized drop of water fell on the car glass.
Wei Xiao watched the water dripping and crawling on the dusty glass, and said to the driver beside him, "Your car should be washed, how can a girl's car be so dirty."
Shen Qingqing said without looking sideways: "The weather forecast said it will rain for a few days, and it will be clean when it rains."
Wei Xiao looked at her speechlessly.
Shen Qingqing didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said confidently: "This can save a lot of money."
"You don't have enough money?"
"Uh..." Shen Qingqing didn't expect her to ask such a question, so she turned her head and said, "I have enough for myself. Apart from food and lodging, I usually don't spend much money."
Wei Xiao looked at the sprinkler and said nothing.
"Are you trying to give me a raise?" Shen Qingqing was a bit at a loss for words.
Wei Xiao glanced at her lightly, and said lightly, "If you don't have any money, I can borrow it from you, and the salary increase will be waived."
Shen Qingqing stuck out her tongue.She is actually very satisfied with her current salary, she doesn't really want to raise it, and she doesn't have such a thick skin.Since Dou Xiaoye's disappearance, Wei Xiao has turned down all jobs other than advertising endorsements. The artist's work has suddenly shrunk, and the job of Shen Qingqing, an assistant, is in jeopardy.She once thought that she would lose her job, but Wei Xiao gave her a chance, signed a contract with her, hired her as a personal assistant, and even raised her salary.
For Wei Xiao, Shen Qingqing is very grateful, and she is willing to let Wei Xiao let her be a cow or a horse.But Wei Xiao didn't instruct her too much, let her drive when she went out, and let her run errands when she was needed, a lot of work, but they were all miscellaneous things, much easier than being an artist assistant.
She lived a chic life and gained more than ten catties in three years.On the other hand, her model is thinner when she is not working than when she was flying all over the world. If this continues, she will be skinny.
While waiting for the red light, Shen Qingqing looked up at the rearview mirror, she thought she was very secretive, Wei Xiao had already noticed her strong gaze.
"Is there something dirty on my face?"
Shen Qingqing was caught face to face, she smiled mischievously, and stopped talking.
"Just say what you want." Wei Xiao rested her forehead with one hand and met her gaze.
Shen Qingqing secretly glanced at the red light.There is still half a minute, enough.
She said, "I always thought you were going to adopt Xiaomei."
Wei Xiao was startled, adjusted his sitting posture, and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"You visit her at least once a month, buy her so many things every time, and pay for her treatment when she is sick, so I thought..."
Wei Xiao sighed and said, "If I want to adopt, I won't wait until she grows up."
After thinking about it, Shen Qingqing realized that there was a problem with her logic, so she shut her mouth and did not speak.
When they arrived at the orphanage, the skinny Xiaomei stumbled over, holding Wei Xiao's legs tightly with her two little hands, and called affectionately: "Aunt Xiaoxiao, you are finally here."
Wei Xiao squatted down and picked her up, kissed her paler cheek than other children, and said softly, "Miss me?"
"En!" Xiaomei nodded heavily, "If you don't come again, you may not see me."
"Why?" Wei Xiaoming asked knowingly.
"The dean said that I will have parents soon, and I will move to their house, and I may not see Aunt Xiaoxiao in the future." The little girl began to cry as she spoke.
Wei Xiao panicked immediately, and wiped her tears with a hand: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's a good thing to have parents. Aunt Xiaoxiao will often visit Xiaomei when she has time."
"really?"
"Of course it's true. When did Aunt Xiaoxiao lie to you?"
"Then let's pull the hook."
Seeing Xiaomei's hand stretched out, Wei Xiao was in a daze.
Long, long ago, that simple girl was coaxed by her to pull the hook.Later, the girl became her girlfriend and became her wife.Then, the girl disappeared.
As if infected by Xiaomei, Wei Xiao's eyes became moist almost instantly. She suppressed the enthusiasm, swallowed a mouthful of bitter saliva, and stretched out her little finger to hook the girl's little finger.
A few minutes later, Dean Chen led Xiaomei's adoptive parents over, and Wei Xiao shook hands with them friendly.
"I heard from Dean Chen that you have always taken care of Xiaomei. Thank you very much." Xiaomei's adoptive father said, "This is a little care from us. I hope you don't dislike it."
"You are too polite." Wei Xiao accepted the gift with a smile.
The couple seemed to be honest people at first glance. After they left, Dean Chen introduced the family situation of the couple in detail. In summary, they had a stable job, received higher education, and had no problem with their character. It was because the child died in a car accident. The two decided to adopt one because they felt lonely.After hearing this, Wei Xiao was completely relieved.
This time, Wei Xiao donated another 10 yuan to the orphanage.Dean Chen was surprised and grateful: "I don't even know what to say, how about this, I bow to you solemnly on behalf of all the teachers and children in the orphanage, thank you for your kindness to our orphanage over the past three years. Support and help!"
"Don't, don't, don't..." Wei Xiao was really ashamed to ask an old man who was nearly sixty years old to bow to her. She supported Dean Chen's waist.
Dean Chen wiped the tears from his eyes, and said with emotion: "It's really rare to see a star like you who does good deeds without letting others know. Miss Wei, you are really a great person."
Wei Xiao, who received a good person card, left the orphanage with a heavy heart.
Whenever someone came, those abandoned children would squeeze to the gate in groups, stretching their necks and watching every adult who came in and out.They didn't say anything, Wei Xiao seemed to be able to read their inner thoughts from their faces.
"Are you here to see me?"
"Can you take me away?"
"I just want a home, who can give me a home?"
"Mom and Dad, I will be very good and obedient."
……
Those eyes full of expectations and finally turned into disappointment were so distressing that Wei Xiao didn't dare to look at them any more.At this time, she would tell Shen Qingqing to drive faster.
The scenery outside roared by, and Wei Xiao remained silent.
She never considered adopting, but she comes here almost every month.
That Xiaomei was picked up by the courier brother back then, and she mistakenly thought it was her own child's abandoned baby.Because no one claimed her, and the police could not find the parents who abandoned her, the child was sent to an orphanage.
Because she was born prematurely, Xiaomei's physique is weaker than that of ordinary children. It is not easy to raise her. Wei Xiao has contributed a lot in this regard, mainly in terms of money.
Her help to Xiaomei was not because of sympathy and pity, but because she thought of her unborn child and transferred that guilt to Xiaomei.
It's not that she doesn't like Xiaomei, nor can she afford to raise children, but she can't do this because she understands that her feelings for Xiaomei are not that pure, and she always thinks about her unborn child and her love for other children It can never be transformed into maternal love.
In the future, Xiaomei will have a family, and she will no longer need to take care of her. She is really happy for Xiaomei.
But what about her child?Are you still alive in this world?
If she is still alive, she should be as big as Xiaomei, right?Are you strong?Is it high?Who do you look like?Ono has chosen so many names, which one will she like?
Ono Ono Ono... Where are you?
I can't think about it anymore, if I think about it again, she will collapse.She didn't want Shen Qingqing to see her crying bitterly.
"Where are you?" She looked at the unfamiliar environment around her.
"Just past the city government building." Shen Qingqing replied.
"Is there a Wanda in front?"
"Seems to be."
"Stop, I'm going to do some shopping."
Wei Jianrong likes to drink hot tea when playing chess with others. His thermos teacup was deformed and he didn't want to change it. Wei Xiao suddenly remembered and wanted to buy him a new one.
The car stopped at the entrance of the shopping mall, Wei Xiao didn't wear a hat or a mask, and just went down without a mask.
These years, Wei Xiao had long since ignored her image, and Shen Qingqing was not surprised, she pulled out the key and followed.
The first floor sells all kinds of clothing, shoes, bags and cosmetics, and the supermarket is on the second floor. Wei Xiao took the escalator up and went straight to the destination.
The shopping guide seems to have seen them and wants to come over to sell products.Wei Xiao was most afraid of this kind of thing, so she gave Shen Qingqing a look.Shen Qingqing understood, went up to meet the shopping guide and stopped the shopping guide halfway: "Do you have a water glass of the XX brand here? I haven't found it after searching for a long time."
"Here."
"Take me to have a look."
"Ok."
No one disturbs, Wei Xiao can choose slowly.On her left, Shen Qingqing was struggling to hold the shopping guide.On the right hand side should be the children's toy area. There is a man and a woman, and there seems to be a child.
"This is SpongeBob SquarePants, do you like it?" the woman asked.
"..."
"What about this one? Does Peppa Pig like it?" the woman asked again.
"..."
The woman lost her patience: "Why is this child like this? It's fine if you don't speak, and you can just nod and shake your head if you ask a question! It's so rude."
"Keep your voice down so she doesn't hear it," the man said.
The woman said: "What's the matter? It's obviously because your mother didn't teach it well. Let her scream that her mother is unwilling, so I don't want to raise it."
The man was a little annoyed: "Why do you say that about my mother?"
"That's what she said?" The woman said angrily, "This child is a white-eyed wolf, no matter how you raise him, you won't be familiar with it."
The man was also angry: "Why are you not familiar with her? People are very good in my mother's house. It's not because you are always angry at her."
The woman choked: "You think I have a bad temper, don't you? Divorce if you have the ability!"
The man clicked his tongue: "This is a public place, can you stop making trouble for no reason? Besides, is it appropriate to say this in front of children? How can you be so big...Wait, people?"
"Yeah—he was still here just now."
"Look, you've scared people away, why don't you hurry up and find someone!"
Here Wei Xiao has chosen the cup and is walking towards Shen Qingqing.The shelves on both sides blocked her view, and she didn't notice that a little girl ran out from behind and hit her when she turned around.
There was a solid "boom".
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you didn't hurt from the fall, did you?" Wei Xiao hurriedly squatted down.
The little girl's hair was cut in a mess, and she was wearing a white dress. She fell and lay on the ground without crying or making a fuss.Wei Xiao picked her up and wanted to see the expression on her face.
Pushing aside the jagged bangs and seeing the girl's white and transparent face like a porcelain doll, Wei Xiao stiffened as if her acupuncture points had been tapped.
The little girl was not afraid of strangers at all, her eyelashes flickered, her big round eyes looked back at her, she shook her head slowly, and said softly, "It doesn't hurt."
this sound...
There was a "buzz" in Wei Xiao's mind, and she unconsciously exerted force on the little girl's hand.Looking at the face in front of her that was so familiar that it would appear in her dreams every night, her tears fell silently.
It's so similar, it's almost carved out of the same mold.
Is she hallucinating?Still dreaming?
Her hand touched the girl's tender face, and the real touch made her tremble.
Not a hallucination, not a dream.
"Xiaoye..." Her voice floated in the air unsteadily, and she almost subconsciously pronounced the name deep in her heart.
The little girl tilted her head.
