Chapter 197: Father and Daughter (2)
The tall pear tree is full of snow-white flowers, the white-clothed woman under the tree has picturesque eyebrows and smiles like flowers, and the child in her arms is like a pink carved jade, a pair of eyes are pure and flawless, and the mouth is "babbling", opening her arms to the tall and burly young man in front of her.
The man gently stretched his ape arm and took the child from the woman's arms, and a strong milky fragrance came to his face. "Xiao Nan! Daddy's back!" he lifted the toddler high above his head, lowered it, and raised it again...... The child laughed loudly, and a gust of wind blew, and a rain of petals fell from the pear tree......

"Daddy, hug!" the little doll, who had just learned to shout, staggered over with her round arms like lotus roots, and a pair of pigtails tied up crookedly on her head swayed with it.
A pair of powerful hands held the child's armpits, threw them into the sky, and then when he fell, they skillfully unloaded the falling power and caught it lightly, and the pink skirt on the child's body bloomed in the air like a blooming pomegranate flower, and his happy laughter flew up the fruitful treetops......

"Dad, why can't I wear a dress like my sister next door?"
"Because you're a boy, how can a boy wear a dress?"
"But...... I wore dresses when I was very young...... Why can't I wear it now?"
"Because you're growing up, you're about to go to kindergarten, and boys will be laughed at when they wear skirts......"
"But...... But...... I'm a boy, so why did my dad buy me a dress to wear?"
"Uh...... Well, because when you weren't born, Dad always thought you would be a daughter, so he bought a lot of girls' clothes in advance, but you found out that it was a boy as soon as you were born, but those clothes were reluctant to throw away, anyway, you were still young, so I gave you to wear! But you're about to grow up now, and you'll be a little man in the future, and you can't wear girls' clothes like you did when you were a child, understand?"
"Well, I get it, Dad...... I'm a man! I can't wear girls' clothes......"

"Dad, I know a girl, I like her so much, I want to confess to her, but I am afraid that she will reject me, I feel that her family seems to be quite rich, in case she rejects me, I am worried that I will not even be friends when we meet in the future......
"Dad, I want to take Xiaoting home when the Chinese New Year comes, but ...... She seems to be a little nervous about this, how can I convince her?"
"Dad, you are old again, you must have worried too much in the unit, it is better to retire early, how good it is to take my mother to travel all over China!"
"Dad...... I...... I am your son Cheng Xiaonan......"

Lao Cheng looked at the bag of girls' supplies on the lid of the toilet tank for a while, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he actually felt like he was suddenly separated from the world.
wanted a daughter, fulfilled his dream of having both children and daughters, and bought clothes for girls from zero to 3 years old, but God sent him a son......
Sons are sons, no matter what, having such a son who loves to read, loves sports, is diligent and cheerful and does not cause trouble, is also a gratifying thing for a father, and what is the small regret of having children but no daughters? Anyway, the son has already had a girlfriend, and in a few years the girlfriend will become a daughter-in-law, and it is not good to treat the daughter-in-law as a daughter?
However, the son who had been raised for more than 20 years suddenly became a daughter, which made Lao Cheng simply not know how to face reality. If Xiao Nan has been a girl from the beginning, then there is no doubt that she will definitely be Lao Cheng's pearl, others can't even take a look at it if they want to, but now, how to face the son turned into a daughter has become a difficult problem in front of Lao Cheng.
"She" used to be a son, and when she was naughty, she was beaten a lot, and the more she was beaten, the stronger she became, and finally she grew into a stick guy as tall as an aspen, but now, he has become her, isn't this unpacked plastic package ironclad evidence?
How should we get along with this "late daughter"? Can the habits that have been tacitly understood between father and son in the past continue to apply to today's father-daughter relationship? "Hey......" Lao Cheng sighed softly......
Coming out of the bathroom, Xiao Nan was opening the old sheets wrapped in the bedroom, looking through the little red mattress that her mother Li Chunhua had sewn for her by herself, and turned around to greet him when she saw her father come in. "Dad, you sit. Xiao Nan pulled out the computer chair and pushed it in front of Lao Cheng. "Dad, do you drink water?"
Lao Cheng shook his head, pulled over the computer chair and sat down, pointed to the mattress in Xiao Nan's hand and said, "The cotton in this mattress is all new cotton this year, and I originally planned to use it as a padded jacket for children, but I didn't expect you to take the lead." ”
"For the children?" Xiao Nan asked strangely.
"Well, your mother is anxious to hold her grandson...... Lao Cheng said helplessly: "It's a pity that your brother and sister-in-law are disobedient, patronizing themselves to play, and they don't have the heart to have children, I don't know how many more years I have to wait for your mother......"
"Puff......" Xiao Nan couldn't help but laugh. "Dad...... Nowadays, young people don't want to have children too early, so they can work hard while they are young! My brother and sister-in-law are still young, and it doesn't matter if they have children in a few years......
"You child, you know that towards your brother and sister-in-law, you don't think about our old couple at all......" Lao Cheng shook his head and said: "While we are still in good health, we can also help them take care of the children, and in a few years, if I and your mother get any disease, how can we have the energy to take care of the children for them......"
"Dad...... Look what you say!" Xiao Nan threw away the little red mattress in his hand, turned around and said very dissatisfied: "You and my mother have always been in good health, where did you get sick, don't curse yourself......, okay?
"Uh......" Lao Cheng Yileng, the slightly angry look of the "daughter" in front of him, is a copy of his wife Li Chunhua more than 20 years ago, which reminds him of the good times when he fell in love when he was on campus.
"Dad......" Xiao Nan saw that Lao Cheng was indifferent, and stomped his feet and dragged a long note to express his dissatisfaction again, and Lao Cheng returned to reality from the time tunnel of memories like waking up from a dream, pretending to spit on the ground, in order to remove the bad luck of self-curse.
Xiao Nan nodded in satisfaction and turned back to make the bed. Although she didn't specifically explain it, she also knew what the purpose of the little mattress that her mother sewed for her was, because she remembered that Xiaoting also had a similar one, and she would turn it out and use it every few days when she was uncomfortable. This thing not only keeps you warm, but also prevents the sheets from getting dirty, so maybe every girl has such a little mattress.
But...... The reason why Mom makes mattresses, I think Dad must know it...... Xiao Nan only felt a hot face when he thought of this, and suddenly remembered the girl's supplies he put in the bathroom, and when his father went to the bathroom just now, he must have seen it too...... Oh my God, what a shame!
Xiao Nan was embarrassed for a while, her cheeks, which were originally as white as jade, were red with shame, where did she dare to turn back and face her father, I really wanted to find a crack in the ground under my feet and get into it.
"I'll go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette ......" Lao Cheng was a little addicted to smoking when he walked all the way, but at that time, his hands were occupied by large bags and small bags, and he couldn't free his hands to smoke.
To smoke outside the house, this is a rule that his wife has set for him since more than 20 years ago, and it has become a habit over time. Although he also knows that his son Xiaonan began to smoke secretly when he was in high school, and after graduating from college and working, he smoked a lot because of socializing and staying up late to refresh himself, but now that his son has become a daughter, he is really a little embarrassed to let him smoke in his daughter's "boudoir".
Xiao Nan suddenly remembered that the underwear that was washed last night was still hanging on the balcony, and she didn't know if it was dry at this time, if those close-fitting things were also seen by Dad......
"Hey, Dad, you wait a minute!" Xiao Nan threw down the things in her hand and rushed out of the bedroom like flying, ran to the balcony before Lao Cheng, regardless of whether it was dried or not, she hurriedly dragged her sports corset and underwear off the drying rope and threw them into a plastic basin, put them on a stack of old cardboard boxes in the corner, and pulled a bath towel over it, and took a closer look at the "content" that didn't seem to reveal any "contents" to rest assured.
It's dangerous...... If these things are also seen by my father, then do I want to live! Xiao Nan breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and returned to the room, Lao Cheng was standing on the edge of the living room and looked at her, Xiao Nan was in a panic just now on the balcony to collect things, he had already seen it, although he didn't see the "daughter" collecting something, but he could guess it by guessing, but he deliberately pretended not to know anything and asked Xiao Nan: "What happened just now?"
"I didn't ...... It's okay...... Xiao Nan hurriedly squeezed out a smiling face: "It's too messy on the balcony, I cleaned it up just now, otherwise you won't have anywhere to put your feet...... You go smoke, dad......"
Lao Cheng nodded.
The balcony of the standard room rented by Xiao Nan is actually very small, with an area of three or four square meters at most, and some dilapidated cardboard boxes are piled on top of it and occupy a lot of space, and the remaining space is enough for one person to turn around. Lao Cheng lit a cigarette in his mouth and took two puffs comfortably.
Xiao Nan poured a cup of hot tea and sent it to the balcony and handed it to Lao Cheng. "Dad, drink water, it's cold outside, let's go into the house after smoking. ”
"Well, got it. Lao Cheng took the water cup and looked at the back of Xiao Nan walking back indoors, the more the slender waist looked more and more like his wife when she was young.
"I want a daughter but have a son, and I see my son grow up and become a daughter overnight, it's really ...... Creation makes people......" Lao Cheng couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly.
A gust of wind blew and lifted the corner of Xiao Nan's bath towel on the plastic basin......
