Chapter Seventy-Five: The Western Islands

On the car to the Western Islands, Alexander was in good spirits, Zeng Cutie, who only slept for two hours a day yesterday, was not so good, she put her arms around Alexander, "Baby, Mom is a little tired, you let Mom rest on you for a while, okay?"

Alexander took the initiative to hold his mother's hand, "Mommy, you lean on me, I don't speak." ”

"Thank you baby. ”

Coming out of the passenger station, I have to take a taxi to the dock, the gifts brought back from abroad are small and expensive, and there is no sense of existence in my hand, she went to the city center halfway to buy some things, and Alexander drank Wangzai milk for the first time, "Mommy, this milk is delicious." His eyes blinked, "Can I drink a bottle a day in the future?"

"Yes. ”

"What about the three bottles?" said Alexander, adding condition, "morning, noon, and evening, and one bottle at mealtime." ”

"No, you can't. "But with one bottle a day, you can choose whether to drink it in the morning, noon or evening." ”

"Okay. Alexander said, cherishing a sip and curling his eyebrows, "It's delicious." ”

"Mommy, it's good to be back home. ”

"yes. Zeng Cute touched his head, because a bottle of milk felt that the children who returned to China were really innocent and cute.

When he arrived at the dock, Zeng Zhibo arrived early, and now he was sitting on the familiar faΓ§ade chatting with people waiting for Zeng Cute.

"Uncle. Zeng Kawaii shouted.

"Hey, cute. Zeng Zhibo hurriedly extinguished the cigarette and greeted him. "Look at you, you still bring so many things when you come back, and you don't let me go to the passenger station to pick me up, how lucky it is to carry it alone. ”

"It's not heavy. Zeng said cutely, she shook her left hand, "Alexander, this is uncle." ”

"Uncle ~ Gong ~ . Alexander shouted with his head up.

Zeng Zhibo looked down at him, his mood was very complicated, if his niece came with his husband and son now, then as soon as this little nephew called, his heart would be like honey, but now that he is cute and has a child before he gets married, how can he not worry, in this case, seeing the little nephew, the mood is indescribably complicated.

"Good, good. Zeng Zhibo could only answer casually, and then said to Zeng Kawaii, "Get on the boat, grandparents are already waiting for you at home." ”

"Grandparents aren't very angry. Zeng Lovely said that she also told them before going home that she didn't come back alone, although it was late, but it was better than the impact of bringing people back directly.

"I don't know what your situation is, I'm worried about whether you've been bullied outside, and I haven't slept well for several nights. Zeng Zhibo told the truth, "But now that you're back, no matter what, you won't be like you abroad, you can only stare at it in a hurry." ”

"It's me who is too headstrong. Zeng Lovely whispered.

Alexander was put on a life jacket, and the little man put on the life jacket and only saw his head, "Mommy, why are you wearing this?"

Zeng Lovely was also wearing a life jacket, and Zeng Zhibo replied to him, "Now it is this regulation, the boat must wear a life jacket, and if you don't wear it and are discovered, you will be fined." ”

Alexander looked at him in confusion, he couldn't understand such a long sentence.

"Because the boat is in the water, if you accidentally fall into the water, a life jacket can save your life. Zeng Lovely said. "It's the same as when you get in a car, you need a safety seat and a seat belt. ”

Alexander nodded, "Mommy, where are we going?"

"Go to Taigong's house. Zeng Kawai said, "Mom's grandfather's house." ”

"Does the prince live in the sea?" asked Alexander, puzzled.

"There is an island in the sea, and the prince lives on the island. Zeng Kawai said, "Mom told you. ”

"Oooh. Alexander stared around with round eyes, these were the first things he had seen, everything was full of surprise, Zeng touched his head cutely, and felt a little apologetic, while reading and raising children, it was not easy at all, Alexander went to the farthest place before returning home was the park.

Mom will take you to more places and meet more people in the future.

"What's the child's name?" Zeng Zhibo suddenly asked as he watched them chat.

β€œAlexander。 Zeng Lovely said.

"Ah, ah, what's dirty?" Zeng Zhibo was a little embarrassed to read.

"You can call him Alexander, which is the Chinese translation name. Zeng Lovely said.

"Why did you choose such a strange name, didn't you take a Chinese name?" Zeng Zhibo asked, "What about the hukou, won't it still be a foreign hukou?"

"No, France doesn't get citizenship on arrival, he's got a passport just like me. Zeng Lovely said. "As for the hukou after returning to China, I haven't done it yet, so let's see the situation first. ”

"Grandpa went to drink with the village party secretary yesterday, and he asked about settling down, and looking at his appearance, it wasn't completely helpless. Zeng Zhibo said.

Zeng Lovely nodded.

After arriving at the shore, Alexander hugged the life jacket and didn't want to take it off, "Mommy, can I take this home?"

"No, this is on my uncle's boat, if you take it away, no one else will have it, if you really want it, Mom will buy you one when she goes back, okay?" Zeng Kawai said.

"If he likes it, let him take it, it's not worth much. Zeng Zhibo said with a smile.

"If he takes everything he wants to bring home, he can't buy enough building to put it. Zeng Lovely said, "He just thinks it's the first time he sees a novelty, and it will be good after a while." ”

"Many children don't want to wear life jackets when they see it for the first time, but Shanda has performed very well. Zeng Zhibo gave a thumbs up and said that he helped Zeng Kawaii take most of his things and went home together.

"Mommy, who is Shanda?" Alexander asked, tilting his head.

"It's you. Zeng smiled and nodded his nose.

"Wow, I have a new name. Alexander jumped twice in celebration.

Seeing the familiar shadow of the small courtyard, Zeng was cute but nervous, maybe this is the cowardice of homesickness, she lowered her head and stroked Alexander's curly hair, and secretly laughed that she still had to get courage and strength from this small body.

Zeng Guangdong sat in the courtyard smoking dry tobacco, Liu Amei waved here and there with a duster, but her eyes were always paying attention to the gate.

When he arrived at the gate, Zeng Zhibo stopped and let Zeng Lovely go in first, Zeng Lovely took a deep breath and entered the door, "Grandpa, grandma, I'm back." ”

"It's back. Liu Amei said.

Zeng Guangdong also put down his cigarette gun.

"Hmm. Zeng said that she gently pushed Alexander forward, "This is my son, Alexander." ”

"Alexander, this is the princess, the mother-in-law. ”

"Too ~ Gong, too ~ Mother. Alexander shouted in a long voice.

"Hey, my little girl. Liu Amei hugged him and said, "Are you afraid of taking a boat?" she looked up and said to Zeng Kawai, "It's much better than in the photo." ”

"Like your dad. ”

Zeng Lovely nodded.

Zeng Zhibo came in and said, "Mom, what are you kidding? I looked similar to my brother when I was a child, why don't I remember that I was so beautiful when I was a child." ”

"Your brother is better than you. Liu Amei said, "Look at these eyes, fortunately they are black eyes, and the hair is also black. ”

"I was worried that it was a mixed race. Zeng Zhibo said, "I'm afraid that my eyes will be blue, and I'll be afraid that my hair will be red, don't you think you're worrying?"

"It's good to be back. Zeng Guangdong said, "Put down the things, go to your father's grave and say, what did you do when you studied abroad?"

The atmosphere became serious, and Liu Amei hugged Alexander and said, "The child just came back, what are you talking about?"

"I have to say it. Zeng Guangdong said, "You are a girl, I can't beat you, if you are a kid and bring a child back before you get married, your legs will be discounted." ”

"I'm sorry, grandpa. Zeng Lovely said.

"Don't tell me I'm sorry, you go tell your dad. Zeng Guangdong said.

Zeng Ke was so sour, she put down the things in her hand, and the sacrifice Liu Amei had already prepared, "I'll go first, and I'll take him tomorrow." Zeng Kawai said, "Alexander, you play with your wife, and your mother is going to a place." ”

"Is it going far?" asked Alexander.

"It's not far, it won't be long, you play for a while, and Mom will come back. Zeng Lovely said.

Alexander nodded, and Liu Amei hugged him, "My good girl, why are you so well-behaved." ”

Zeng Lovely and Zeng Guangdong went to the grave mountain one after another, Zeng Zhiyuan's grave was clear, obviously someone often took care of it, Zeng Lovely put on the offerings, lit three incense sticks, "Dad, I'm back." ”

"I have obtained all three graduation certificates, and I will go to work in Mr. Yang's company next week, he sponsored me to study, and now it is time for me to repay. "I did something wrong in college, and I can't predict what kind of trouble he will have in the future, but I don't regret it." ”

"Who is the child's father?" Zeng Guangdong asked.

"It's a classmate. Zeng Lovely said vaguely, "I didn't know I was pregnant until I broke up, he wasn't around at the time, and I found out too late and could only give birth." ”

"What about after that, you didn't contact him, what did he think?" Zeng Guangdong asked.

"He, he wanted to be responsible, but I didn't agree. Zeng Katie said, "There is no love between us, and we will not be together, for the sake of the child, it is not good for anyone." ”

"Do you know how big it is for you to be unmarried and have a child?" Zeng Guangdong said, "Are you ready to deal with other people's rumors?"

"What will you do when you get married?"

"When I decided to give birth to him, I didn't think about getting married. Zeng said in a firm tone. "I am sure that I can raise a child, I can give him a sound love and education that is not inferior to that of my parents, I gave birth to him, and I am responsible for him. ”

"When the child is sensible and goes to school, how do you answer when you ask where your father is?" Zeng Guangdong said, "You say now that you don't want to get married, and when the child is old and has his own family, you are alone at home, and you don't have anyone to accompany you." ”

"Grandpa, my wish now is to work hard and raise Alexander well, and I don't think about the rest so much. Zeng Lovely said.

"It's already happened, and I can't shove him back in my stomach and pretend it didn't happen. ”

"So, why didn't you make a more careful decision in the first place? Zeng Guangdong said, "You have always been very sensible, you have a measured and planned work, we all believe in you, are you so measured and planned?"

"I'm sorry grandpa. ”

"You're not sorry for me, you're sorry for your dad, you're sorry for yourself. Zeng Guangdong said angrily, "You see that you graduated from a prestigious school, or studied abroad, as soon as you come back, you will enter a big company, talented, good-looking and future, your grandmother and I have face wherever we go, we don't look forward to anything else, just look forward to you working hard for two years to find a good partner to marry, have your own family, and when you go underground in the future, you have something to say to your father."

"Ten thousand avenues are your choice, why did you choose the most difficult road. Everywhere you have a child out of wedlock, you have to be poked in the back, and you have to be a single mother, and the pain in this is not something that can be solved by earning money. ”

"People will say that you didn't teach, say your dad, say your grandpa. Forget about these, your mouth grows on others, and you can't care so much, but how do you want me to explain to your dad when I die, your dad's expectations for you are definitely not for you to have children out of wedlock!"
