Chapter 117: Twists and Turns of Love
"How can you be like this? Aunt Lin is kind and has a good character, she comes to our house, we will only be happier, why are you so ignorant!"
A month later, Li Gang resigned, the efficiency of the factory was not good enough, and the family's expenses were getting bigger and bigger, and he was a little unbearable.
So I changed my job, came to the construction site, and became a porter, although I earned a little more money, but I was very tired and hard, and I couldn't straighten my waist every day.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Zhiyong and Xiaoxia are happily looking forward to the reunion of their families and the New Year with Meimei. But one day, she received a call from her mother, and Liu Chunxia told the children on the phone that because the factory did not have a holiday, she could not accompany them for the New Year.
And the fact is that because she just gave birth to a baby, and after the Chinese New Year, she has to worry about the inside and outside of this family, so she naturally can't go home.
The children are crying and making trouble, but what can be done?
This year was the most memorable year for Xiaoxia and Zhiyong, and it also made them extremely cold.
Soon Valentine's Day came, and in order to share the burden for the family, Zhiyong and Xiaoxia used their pocket money to wholesale a lot of roses and sell them in the market.
It was snowing heavily, but none of their roses were sold, and the red roses were bright and beautiful, but couples only liked the ones packaged in the store.
Suddenly they saw Lin Momo, "Aunt Lin", and the children shouted happily.
"Zhiyong Xiaoxia, why are you here on such a cold day, Dad?" Lin Momo asked in surprise.
"Dad went to work, Mom didn't come home for the Chinese New Year this year, Dad now has to do a lot of heavy work every day, and we want to share a little bit for them. ”
Look at the child's cold red little face and small hands. "You guys are so good," Lin Hui said distressedly, "It's such a cold day, go back early, save Dad from worrying." ”
"Aunt Lin sent you two flowers," Xiaoxia said, handing over two bright roses, "I wish Auntie is as beautiful as this flower, and I hope you can find your happiness as soon as possible!"
"Thank you, Xiaoxia, you and Zhiyong are the same, you must also be happy and happy," Lin Momo said movingly.
In the evening, the phone rang, and Xiaoxia ran over, "Xiaoxia, I'm my father, I'm on a business trip tomorrow, I can't go back, you take care of your brother, there is money in the closet, you go out to buy some food, I won't be able to pick you up after school tomorrow, go home obediently, don't be greedy on the road," Li Gang said.
"Dad, how long are you going to be on a business trip?" Xiaoxia asked anxiously.
"Just tomorrow. ”
"But Dad, we have a parent-teacher conference tomorrow."
"What kind of parent-teacher meeting? ”
"The teacher only informed me in the afternoon," Xiaoxia was full of grievances.
"Good daughter, dad will come back from a business trip to see your teacher alone, do you think it's okay?" Li Gang said apologetically.
"But my classmates all have their parents coming, and I'm alone," Xiaoxia said and couldn't cry anymore.
"Good daughter," Li Gang comforted, "I will definitely go next time" There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
But what can he do? Now he has to rely on him inside and out, earning money, things at home and abroad, and children's studies, all of which make him so busy that a seven-foot man wants to cry without tears.
And Xiaoxia on the other end of the phone, tired of crying, looking at the ceiling blankly, Zhiyong saw that his sister was very sad, and he was sensible, so he tried his best to make his sister happy: "Sister, I'm going to cook, you must be hungry," and ran to the kitchen after speaking.
He thought to himself, because he knew his sister's favorite food, sour and spicy shredded potatoes.
Thinking like this, he began to open up, and this did not bother him, because he saw every procedure of cooking, washed and fried again, the potatoes were washed, and he put them on the cutting board, whether it was cut horizontally or vertically? You must know that this is the first time Zhiyong has cooked.
"Ouch," Xiaoxia heard a scream and ran to the kitchen quickly, already seeing her brother with tears on his face and bleeding fingers.
What should I do? When she went to the infirmary, Xiaoxia didn't care about being sad, she made a decision like a little adult, found a band-aid and wrapped it for her brother, and came to the door of the infirmary in the community.
"Open the door, open the door" Xiaoxia shouted loudly, knocked on the door for a long time, and her voice was hoarse, but there was still no movement inside, because it was getting late, and the staff in the infirmary had already left work.
Zhiyong stopped crying, but comforted his sister like a little man: "It's okay, sister, it doesn't hurt." ”|
Xiaoxia looked at her brother's pale little face, she didn't know what to say, and wanted to call her father, but after thinking about it, her father was so far away and couldn't help, so she could only be in a hurry.
So he said to Zhiyong: "You bear with me first, and we will come to see the doctor tomorrow." ”
It was really a sleepless night, Zhiyong's ** sound made Xiaoxia's heart twist like a knife, until it was almost dawn, and the sister and brother fell asleep grogily.
Early the next morning, Xiaoxia took her younger brother to the infirmary: "Doctor, look at my brother's finger, he was cut by a knife yesterday!"
It was a kind female doctor who always looked at people with a smile on her face. "Ouch, it's all suppurated, but fortunately, the knife is not very deep. As he spoke, he began to disinfect and apply medicine, Zhiyong's face turned blue in pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
"Brother, if it hurts too much, just shout out," Xiaoxia said comfortingly.
"It's really good," the doctor also approved, and suddenly she saw Zhiyong's pants with holes: "Children, remember to change your pants when you go home, don't get cold." ”
"Thank you, Auntie," Xiaoxia and Zhiyong said gratefully.
Looking at the little backs of the sister and brother, the doctor sighed in his heart, how sensible the child is, but how do the parents behave in this family?
After the daily heavy labor, Li Gang's body was a little unbearable, and when he returned home, he still had heavy housework, and he was busy working day and night, and one day, he actually fainted.
"Dad, are you going to send me and my brother to school this morning?" asked Xiaoxia
Li Gang didn't react, "Dad, wake up, we're going to be late, Dad"
After shaking for a long time, she didn't wake up, Xiaoxia panicked, "Zhiyong, come here, call 120, Dad is sick!"
Zhiyong dialed his mother's phone, and after a long time, no one answered, at this time Liu Chunxia was holding the baby in her arms and smiling sweetly, she couldn't take care of this family anymore.
In this reinforced concrete city, people are only anxious and busy during the day.
The only relative Xiaoxia can think of is Lin Momo.
"Aunt Lin, my father is sick and hospitalized. ”
"Xiaoxia, don't worry, which hospital is Dad in? I'll go over right away. ”
Lin Momo soon came to the hospital, and she saw the children waiting at the door, Xiaoxia and Zhiyong's faces were dirty. The child's clothes were rotten and no one repaired them, the shoes were old, and the hair was unkempt, and she felt distressed for a while.
"Xiaoxia Zhiyong, don't worry, Dad will be fine. ”
"Aunt Lin," Xiaoxia Zhiyong saw her, like seeing her mother. hugged her and cried bitterly.
The doctor walked out, and Lin Momo hurriedly asked, "How is Li Gang?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just because of overwork, pay more attention to rest in the future! When the patient wakes up, you can go in and have a look, and be careful not to make a loud noise." ”
"Daddy, daddy, the kids pounced. ”
"Dad, I'm lucky to have Aunt Lin, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to find anyone," Xiaoxia cried.
"Thank you, Lin Momo. Li Gang said gratefully.
"It's okay, it's a gesture, Zhiyong Xiaoxia, you go to school, I'm here. ”
"Children, don't delay your homework, Lin Momo, you can go home too, I can do it alone." Li Gang said apologetically.
"Who hasn't had a hard time yet, don't be so polite!" Lin Momo said.
She sent Zhiyong and Xiaoxia out of the hospital.
"Aunt Lin, thank you, can you accompany Dad more! Dad is alone, we are very worried. Xiaoxia took Lin Momo's hand and said pleadingly.
During these days in the hospital, Lin Momo ran before and after, taking care of Li Gang, and her carefulness and kindness were touching. And Zhiyong Xiaoxia, a pair of sisters and brothers also grew up healthily under her care.
One day, Xiaoxia said softly to Lin Momo, "Aunt Lin, can we call you mother, you are as good as your mother"
These days, Lin Momo has established a deep relationship with this family, looking at the child's eager eyes, she nodded lightly, and the child was overjoyed.
Lin Momo wiped his face and hands for Li Gang to feed. "Lin Momo, you stay with me, the children like you very much, and so do I," he asked, taking Lin Momo's hand.
Lin Momo didn't speak, and Li Gang's heart was very worried.
"Mom, we're here," Xiaoxia rushed to Lin Momo's side and said,
"Xiaoxia, whose mother are you calling?"
"Call me that," Lin Momo said.
"It seems that you have already discussed it, and you will keep me in the dark," Li Gang said with a smile, and it was a happy family again.
A week later, Li Gang recovered and was discharged from the hospital
"Mom, do you know that the man my sister is looking for is in very poor condition, and the house she lives in is rented," one day, Lin Momo's younger sister Liu Jihua said to her mother-in-law.
Lin Momo's mother was very worried when she heard this, and she wanted to run over to see it in person.
It's just that at that time, Li Gang's family had already changed to a 3-bedroom and 1-living room house.
Liu Jihua, the younger sister-in-law, came to Li Gang's house with her mother-in-law.
"Mom and Jihua are here, come, please come inside," Li Gang greeted warmly, "Xiaoxia, Zhiyong is coming out, there are guests at home, this is grandma, this is aunt." ”
Xiaoxia and Zhiyong said smartly, "Grandma and aunt are good!"
The sweetness of the mouth amused everyone present.
Lin Momo was also overjoyed, "Mom, I'll serve the fruit." Xiaoxia snatched the fruit plate in Lin Momo's hand and fought to do housework.
Lin Momo's mother, Huang Yating, looked at her daughter, she hadn't smiled so sweetly for a long time.
