Chapter 112: Gambling
Chen Xiaohe had no kindergarten to go to when he was a child, and Chen Jianqiang also went to work every day, so she could only follow Yu Mei at home every day.
Seeing off her second daughter, Yu Mei felt inexplicably empty in her arms, and she was at a loss when she came out and went in.
My mother's house is far away, and it always takes five or six days to go back to visit my second daughter once. She put all her energy into her eldest daughter.
When Yu Mei was at home, she directly spoiled Chen Xiaohe, eating, dressing, walking and eager to do it for her, even if she went to the mountains to farm, she would carry Chen Xiaohe all the way up and down the mountain, Yu Mei was not tired.
When Yu Mei returned to her parents' house, Chen Xiaohe became a baby who no one cared about. If she took Chen Xiaohe back to her parents' house, the journey was really long, and her mother-in-law was sick and couldn't take care of herself, so Yu Mei could only send Chen Xiaohe to the neighbor's grandmother's house.
The neighbor's grandmother lives alone, and she is always busy all day long, so she just moved a small bench for the quiet Chen Xiaohe to sit in the yard and wait for her parents to come home, just waiting from morning to night. Every time it was dusk, Chen Xiaohe always felt inexplicably worried, afraid that his parents would never come back.
Chen Xiaohe lives like a cat and a dog day by day, with no sense of security at all, and he doesn't know what kind of day awaits him tomorrow.
After the first year of sending off her second daughter, Yu Mei gradually got used to the days when the second child was not around, and the second child gradually became like a fish in water at her grandmother's house, and treated her grandfather and grandmother as her own father and mother.
In the spring of the second year, Yu Mei became pregnant again, this time her mood was more tormented than last time, she had already sacrificed a second child, if the third child was not a son, how would it end later.
Once you're at the table, it's hard to get down, especially when you start losing. From the moment they sent the second child away, Yu Mei and Chen Jianqiang became more and more like a pair of gamblers in a predicament.
Gamblers always feel that as their chips continue to increase, their expected goals will always come. Originally, the probability of red or black in each game was 50%, but the gambler thought that if he bet on red, if black appeared several times in a row, the chance of red appearing next time would increase. If it is not this time, then it will be more certain next time, which is a typical non-mathematical principle, in fact, the chance is always 50% every time.
Yu Mei and Chen Jianqiang don't believe in the 50% probability, they always feel that the probability of having a son has become bigger and bigger, and they swear that the third child should be a son.
When the third child was born and the daughter was born, the two of them made plans to give it away without much entanglement. They've already given so much, they can't completely lose in this step.
Mother-in-law Tan was terminally ill at that time, she was grateful for the care of her daughter Chen Jianhua all the time, and deeply felt that no matter how many sons she had, she was not as intimate as her daughter, so she asked Chen Jianhua to adopt Yu Mei's third daughter.
Yu Mei has come to this point and has completely fallen into a stalemate, and there is no way back at all, so she can only move forward bravely.
When the last child was pregnant with Chen Xiaolu, Yu Mei broke the jar and broke it, and she no longer thought about whether it was a man or a woman. She made up her mind that no matter what, it would end here. As a result, fate was kind to her, and finally let her get what she wanted.
After ten years of marriage, Yu Mei and Chen Jianqiang gave birth to three girls and one boy, but because of the children, the life of the two of them became more and more difficult, from the richest man among the young people in the village when they first got married, to the poor households in the village in the end.
Chen Xiaohe remembered that when he was a child, the windows of his house were bright and clean, and after a few years, the situation deteriorated, Yu Mei and Chen Jianqiang were tired of running for their children, and they had no time to take care of housework, and the family never fed a pot of flowers and plants.
In these exhausting years, Chen Xiaohe felt a strong maternal love, Yu Mei never scolded or scolded herself, except for studying, Yu Mei did not let Chen Xiaohe do anything on weekdays, and never told Chen Xiaohe about the mess at home.
The loss of the third child made Yu Mei cherish the daughter by her side even more, and she only hoped to give the eldest daughter by her side the best love.
Therefore, Chen Xiaohe always feels that he has gained too much and owed too much, and he will always have an apology for his parents and family, and maybe he should not be burdened with so many apologies.
Because of this apology, I can't live my life well! Perhaps, I should learn from Tan Tian, let go of everything in the past, and travel lightly.
On the way back to Shanghai, Chen Xiaohe thought back and forth about the events of so many years, and finally understood what his father had done.
Perhaps by now, Chen Jianqiang is even more unclear about what he insisted on having a male baby for, but Hailing has become the biggest victim in this series of incidents.
Chen Xiaohe secretly swore that he must find a way to find Hailing.
Su Fa chatted with Chen Xiaohe several times, but he didn't get any serious response, and it wasn't until the two babies in the back seat were about to fight that Chen Xiaohe came back to his senses.
It turned out that Ah Jun had secretly drunk a few sips of cold water in front of him, and now his stomach was very uncomfortable, and he kept shouting cold and cold, asking Su Fa to close the window;
The two of them began to quarrel in a civilized manner, the gentleman did not move his mouth, and then began to attack, one hit the other's head, one took off the other's shoes, and turned the world upside down, Ah Fu cried earth-shatteringly, and Ah Jun screamed loudly in the sky.
Su Fa didn't pull the fight, so the two of them made a fuss there.
Chen Xiaohe knew that both of them were tired from sitting for too long, so he hurriedly asked Su Fa to go to the service area to rest.
"It's just that these two babies can still call you, I just said that you ignored me for so long, and the status of this family is getting lower and lower. Su Fa looked aggrieved and handed the quilt full of hot water to Chen Xiaohe.
"I'm sorry, alas, every time I go home, I feel very bad at home, and by the way, I feel that I am also very bad. Chen Xiaohe said embarrassedly.
"Well, the two little dolls have to rely on you to grow up, don't let them down, in their minds, you are the best mother, cheer up, go back to live a good life!" Su Fa said half-jokingly.
Chen Xiaohe felt that it was really good to have Su Fa, at critical moments, husband and wife are always the one who understands each other the most, closer than parents and siblings.
That night, the family of four rested for another night and set off for Shanghai early the next morning. As a result, not long after it was opened, Ah Fu shouted that he wanted to get on the tuba, so he could only go to the rest area to rest again, and this break was delayed for half an hour.
