Chapter 096: Zhou Nuo
Cheng Xunxun firmly covered her mouth with one hand, not letting herself make any sound, in fact, if she was interested, she should turn around and leave immediately at this time, instead of standing here and being a 'thief', but Cheng Xunxun's curiosity firmly nailed her feet in place, and she couldn't move her steps no matter what. She has lived in Zhou's house for so many years, but she never knew that Sister-in-law Qing and Zhou Jingyang would have a leg!
Is this leg a secret that everyone keeps secret, or is it just a secret between these two people. On the eve of the Chinese New Year's Eve, most of the servants in the Zhou Mansion went home for the New Year on vacation, leaving behind some homeless people. The Zhou family is still very humane in this regard, even the servants have given enough vacation to reunite with their families and have a happy New Year, and those who have no family can rest.
Therefore, early in the morning, there was no one in the Zhou house, except for the crisp bird chirping outside, it seemed very quiet. On the first day of the first lunar month, the weather is cold, and most people will be in a quiet sleep.
If it weren't for Cheng Xunxun, he wouldn't have slept well with a big belly. I'm afraid I won't get up so early.
In a moment, the voice of sister-in-law Qing came out from the kitchen, Cheng Xunxun stood against the edge of the door, although their voices were soft, they could still hear clearly, "Mrs. set off at five o'clock in the morning, insisting on not letting me follow, she has always been haunted by the incident in Xunxun, and she also dislikes me because of this incident." Even if I was clean, she still doubted me. Now that even the tenth year has been wary of me, this kid is probably ......"
Before Sister-in-law Qing's words were finished, Zhou Jingyang spoke up, "She is always a woman's kindness." It's just an unborn child. It's not easy for a man to want a child. But this child's life is very hard, such a toss can be saved, if she can fall from the stairs a day later, or the amount of saffron is a little more, maybe the situation will be different. ”
Sister-in-law Qing was silent for a while before she spoke: "You're right, it's really easy for a man to have a child, whether he can be born depends on his ability, and whether he can live safely after birth." It's up to you. Actually, I like this kid very much, he looks lively and smart, and his mouth is sweet and pleasing. Looking at her, I always can't help but think of my daughter, sometimes I even think that she is my daughter, if my flood is still there, I should also be a wife and mother......" The words stopped at this point, Cheng Xunxun couldn't see their expressions, naturally I don't know why Sister-in-law Qing stopped talking, and after a while of silence, she continued: "Forget it, you don't like to listen to it after all." I have to blame myself for not being good at this matter, I didn't look at her, I can't expect my wife to let her own son go and save my flood. ”
"The fifth is born after her hard work, how much suffering she suffered when she was born, how much love she has for him after giving birth, Mrs. is a person who loves the house and Wu, the child in the belly of the tenth is the fifth, she naturally follows the preference, women are easy to be soft-hearted, these years Mrs. has been eating fast and chanting Buddha, single-mindedly good, this sinful means, she naturally will not agree. You can also rest assured, there are some things that are inconvenient for you to do, and when Madame doesn't understand you, I will still help you, from beginning to end, I have always helped you, I am your person, this has never changed. Just like when Mrs. Madame's maiden family had plans for Yufeng. ”
"It's a sure thing that the child will be born, if you want to stay, if you don't want it, there's a way to make him not exist. Sister-in-law's tone was very light, as if she was talking about a sparse and ordinary thing, without the slightest wave. didn't even have the kind of loyalty to Zhou Jingyang, and she didn't seem to care whether he trusted her or not.
But it's this tone that makes people shudder and make people wonder what she wants to do.
When the words fell, there was silence inside, Zhou Jingyang didn't speak for a while, but Cheng Xunxun's heart was raised, and something seemed to be churning in his throat. She felt nauseous and cold, her hands and feet were cold, her hands were firmly grasping the corner of her clothes, and then there was a sudden movement inside, Cheng Xunxun reflexively turned around and ran in the direction of the stairs, her steps were chaotic, forcibly restraining her inner turmoil, and she wanted to run back to the room as fast as possible.
As she ran, she had to control herself from making a sound to attract the attention of the people inside.
However, her steps were too chaotic, her body was too heavy, halfway up the stairs, she fell down unsteadily, fortunately she held the handrail firmly with one hand, I don't know if it was psychological or what the reason, in a trance she seemed to hear footsteps behind her, she held her stomach with one hand, slowly turned her head to look back, the sound seemed to be getting closer and closer, she suddenly had a feeling of liver and gallbladder breaking, regardless of the pain in her feet, and the faint pain in her stomach, she stood up suddenly, and ran up quickly.
Immediately slammed open the door of the room, quickly closed, and the whole person stuck to the door panel, panting uncontrollably, and his heart was beating violently. Zhou Yanqing was already up, and when he came out, he saw Cheng Xunxun with a frightened face, standing at the door with a pale face, his chest kept rising and falling, and even his pupils showed some signs of dilation, and he looked like he had seen a ghost.
But in fact, what she saw and heard was more terrifying than evil spirits! In this world, people's hearts are often more terrifying than ghosts!
Before this, she thought that this matter was done by the old lady, and firmly believed that it was the old lady's intention, even if Sister-in-law Qing was involved, but she was just forced to do so because of her identity, and she even naively thought that Sister-in-law Qing might just know, and she avoided the rest. But it turned out that it was even uglier and disgusting than she imagined, it turned out to be a Qing sister-in-law! It turned out that the people who did all this were Qing sisters-in-law!
And judging from the meaning of her words, they don't seem to plan to let go of the child in her belly like this! Even if the child is born, they don't plan to let it go! Cheng Xunxun suddenly felt a little breathless, she didn't want to doubt Sister-in-law Qing, in the past eight years in the Zhou Mansion, she only put two people in her heart, one is Jiashu, and the other is this sister-in-law.
Now one has disappeared from this world forever, and the other has become the ugliest existence, recalling her smile, that caring look, the bowls of tonic decoction, the person she thinks is the most credible, the most reassuring person, but the one who harms her the most, she would rather harm her is Dou Lanying than hope to be Sister-in-law!
Even if the person behind Sister-in-law Qing is Zhou Jingyang.
"What's wrong? Your hands are so cold. Zhou Yanqing walked in front of her, reached out and held her hand, and frowned unconsciously, "Is it uncomfortable?"
As soon as his words fell, Cheng Xunxun suddenly glared, squeezed his hand hard with his backhand, and said, "I, I seem to be about to give birth." ”
This answer was obviously unexpected by Zhou Yanqing, which caught him a little off guard, her due date should be after the year, and she originally planned to be admitted to the hospital a week before her due date to give birth, but she never expected Cheng Xunxun to suddenly come to such a sentence, and her appearance didn't look like a joke at all, judging from her face, she should have been frightened or stimulated, that face was bloodless, and even her lips were a little white.
"Are you sure?" Zhou Yanqing shook her hand hard.
"I don't know, but my stomach hurts. Cheng Xunxun replied very calmly, she looked straight into his eyes and asked: "After the child is born, don't hand it over to the old lady, Zhou admires him ......"
"I know. ”
Zhou Yanqing didn't let him continue, just at this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, Cheng Xunxuan suddenly became nervous, and the whole person who was nervous twitched.
Immediately, the voice of the sister-in-law sounded outside, and the voice sounded as gentle as usual, but it could no longer soften the heart of the tenth year.
"Are you up at the end of the day?"
Zhou Yanqing naturally saw Cheng Xunxun's abnormality, he hugged her in his arms with a little force, stroked her back, and said, "It's okay, no one will touch you, don't be afraid." ”
Cheng Xunxun's entire cheek was pressed against his shoulder, and he took several deep breaths, but he couldn't relax, and the pain in his stomach hit him one after another. She grabbed Zhou Yanqing's clothes tightly and said, "That's fine, come by surprise, I'm going to give birth to the child today, I must give birth to him!" Her tone was very firm, and she immediately looked up at Zhou Yanqing, and said word by word: "You help me, if you really give birth in advance, it's just right, if it's not me, I have to give birth today, is it okay?"
I don't know if it's because of pain or nervousness, Cheng Xunxun's forehead is covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Zhou Yanqing didn't ask any more questions, reached out and opened the door, hugged her horizontally, and knocked away the sister-in-law standing at the door with her body, saying, "I'm going to give birth in the middle of the year." ”
When they went downstairs, they happened to meet Zhou Jingyang, who looked like he had just come back from a workout outside, and when he saw them in a hurry, he inevitably asked, "What's wrong?"
At this time, Sister-in-law Qing had already followed and said, "How can it be so sudden, this is still a few days away from the due date, what are you doing?" ”
Zhou Yanqing ignored them and went to the garage with Cheng Xunxun in his arms. On the way, after he made a few phone calls, he turned his head and glanced at Cheng Xunxun and said, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything, you can relax and don't be so nervous." ”
Zhou Yanqing took the person away without explaining anything, Zhou Jingyang called him a few times, but he didn't answer, and no one even knew where he sent the person to give birth.
Cheng Xunchun did have signs of childbirth, but the amniotic water was not broken, and the reason why she felt pain was due to nervousness. Of course, it is not impossible for her to give birth early this month, and since Zhou Yanqing has already arranged it, then this child must be able to be born today.
The doctor first asked her to try to give birth naturally, but she had to have a caesarean section if she couldn't do it.
Fortunately, this child is also angry, or he is really an obedient child, Cheng Xunxun was in pain for a whole day, and at six o'clock in the evening, with a baby's cry, Cheng Xunxun's child finally landed safely, it was a boy. Cheng Xunxun's whole person was already tired and a little prostration, and the nurse held the child in front of her and let her take a look, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She raised her lips slightly, thanked the doctor who delivered her, and fell asleep with some physical exhaustion.
Zhou Yanqing waited at the door of the delivery room for a long time, and for the first time she had this feeling of fidgeting, she didn't sit or stand, she always wanted to go in and have a look. He didn't call on the Zhou family's side until the child was born, and he called back to report his safety.
When Cheng Xunxuan opened his eyes again, he was already lying in the hospital ward, and there were many people sitting or standing around, even Dou Lanying was back, she was holding the child and teasing him to open his eyes. The child is very healthy, weighing six pounds, neither big nor small.
Cheng Xunxuan is still a little weak now, and she is not even happy to move her hands and feet, she didn't see Zhou Yanqing after looking for a long time, but An Yu found her awake first, and said, "Xunxuan woke up." ”
When Dou Lanying heard this, she finally shifted her attention from her grandson to Cheng Xunxun's body, the smile on her face was particularly gentle, and said, "Finally woke up, thank you for your hard work." ”
Cheng Xunxun reluctantly raised her lips, and swept her eyes to the sister-in-law Qing who was standing aside, remembering what she said in the morning, her heart couldn't help but mention, at this moment she just wanted to see Zhou Yanqing, "What about Zhou Yanqing?"
As soon as she asked, there was a sound of the door opening, Zhou Yanqing came in from outside, Dou Lanying turned her head to look, smiled and said, "Isn't this coming." Dou Lanying gave up her position as she spoke, and refused to let go of the child in her hand.
Zhou Yanqing went over, reached out and held her hand, used a little strength, and said, "Wake up, if there is anything you want to eat, I just asked Mother Xu to go back and stew some food, and I don't know what you want to eat, so I just let her cook something nutritious." Now she must still be at home, you say what you want to eat, I'll call her and ask her to bring it to you later. ”
Cheng Xunxun held his hand, then breathed a sigh of relief, glanced in the direction of the child, and said, "It's okay, I don't have any requirements, just let me be full, I'm so hungry now." ”
Zhou Yanqing could naturally see her thoughts, what she was doing so desperately to give birth to this child today, he had some numbers in his heart. "Mom, you bring the child over and give it to Xun Xun to hug. ”
Dou Lanying was a little reluctant, but she still walked over and put the child beside her, the moment the child lay on her side, Cheng Xunxun's face unconsciously raised a gentle smile, and the smile was full of relief. Newborn children all look about the same, a small one, a small face wrinkled, red, and a little ugly. Cheng Xunxun glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing, probably didn't expect the child to be so ugly.
When the child was still in the womb, Xu's mother said to let her see more beautiful children, so that the children born would also become beautiful, Cheng Xunxun didn't believe it, but his behavior was very believable, and he looked for those beautiful children on the Internet every day, and then fantasized about how cute his children were.
Sometimes she would look in the mirror, look at her face, and then say to Xu's mother: "Xu's mother, which of my facial features do you think is better-looking?"
Mother Xu said: "You and the fifth master are both good-looking, and the children born must be good-looking." ”
Cheng Xunxun was convinced of this, of course, she didn't think she was good-looking, mainly because she felt that Zhou Yanqing was really good-looking, and with such a good gene, it must be difficult for this child to see where to go.
However, seeing the crumpled dumpling in front of her, she felt hurt. But the mother is not ugly, although the child is wrinkled and not very good-looking, but Cheng Xunxun doesn't want to let go when he holds it in his hand, and pokes his face with his fingers from time to time, he will frown, but the more Cheng Xunxun looks at it, the more he thinks this little thing looks cute.
The arrival of this child undoubtedly added joy to the Zhou family, at least for Dou Lanying, the smile on her face never stopped, and she couldn't close her mouth. She had already asked someone to call the Jingxu of the White Pagoda Temple, and reported all the eight characters of the generation, so that the Jingxu could give a better name. The name given by Jingxu is very simple, a single name is a word, Zhou Nuo.
Although the name is simple, Cheng Xunxuan is quite satisfied, Dou Lanying originally thought that the name Zhou Nuo was too simple and was not particularly satisfied, but because Cheng Xunxuan and Zhou Yanqing both thought it was good, they also agreed. Dou Lanying is very attentive to this child, not only comes to visit every day, but also stays in the hospital for a day, except for the child when she is breastfeeding, most of the time Dou Lanying is holding her, either holding or letting him lie on the small bed She teases.
She also instructed Rong Ping to set up a baby room within a week, and she had to see everything in the baby room herself, and only if she approved it could she be moved into the baby room. Look at that posture, I plan to take this grandson myself.
On the third day of the first lunar month, the old lady's only daughter, Zhou Chan, came back from the United States.
After Zhou Chanda married an American overseas Chinese, she almost cut off contact with her family, and she made a big fuss in order to marry that man, almost to the point of breaking off contact, and then she went to the United States, and she would come back for the first few years, and after touching a few nails, she didn't come back, and she didn't even have a phone call.
Zhou Chan's matter is also a heart disease in Dou Lanying's heart, and it has long become a stubborn disease now. When Zhou Chan came back this time, she was persuaded to come back by the second master Zhou Yanke, originally wanting to make Dou Lanying happy. No one expected that Cheng Xunxun would give birth to a child at the beginning of the first month, and he was still a boy, which was undoubtedly a great surprise for the old lady. It's a bit redundant for Zhou Chan to come back this time, but Zhou Chan's husband's business in the United States is getting better and better, and in the end, he is his own child, so he always has some feelings.
The second elder of the Zhou family is just this one daughter, a daughter is always more intimate than a son, Dou Lanying can't help but say a few words every year during the New Year, and if she doesn't mention it, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to be with this daughter in her heart. It's a pity that this only daughter is also very stubborn. After falling out with Zhou Jingyang at the beginning, she asked her not to come back, she really didn't come back.
Fortunately, the man she married was also competitive enough, and after the two got married, they opened their own company, although they were not satisfactory at first, they failed twice, and the third time they succeeded, and then it was smooth sailing. is also wholeheartedly devoted to her, and now has a son and a daughter, and has a happy family. This time, Zhou Chan came back alone and brought small gifts to everyone.
Although she is abroad, she still pays more or less attention to domestic affairs, but it is not very specific. She knew that Zhou Jiashu died, although the people did not come, but the number of rites still arrived.
When she was still in the Zhou family before, she had the best relationship with Zhou Yanqing, but she didn't hear that he gave birth to a son, so she put down her luggage and came to the hospital with Dou Lanying. On the road, the mother and daughter, who had not seen each other for many years, were relatively speechless for a while.
In fact, Zhou Chan has always been a very obedient child, docile and caring, at that time, I didn't know what kind of demon I was in, no matter what I had to do with the man, I had to follow the man, it was okay to Dou Lanying, and she could say a few words calmly, but she could hardly calm down in front of Zhou Jingyang, and at that time, the father and daughter talked like Mars hitting the earth. You must know that before this, Zhou Chan admired her father very much, but since then she has been very disgusted with Zhou Jingyang, as if he is the worst person in the world, and no one knows why.
Zhou Yanqing once asked her when she left, but she didn't answer the question, only said: "How good it would be if I didn't believe in Zhou." Then he left without looking back, and as soon as he left, he never came back. No one knew what happened to her at that time, and Dou Lanying had also gone to her school to investigate, but nothing was found.
only knew that the man was a friend of her college teacher, as for how they met and how they fell in love, Zhou Chan never said it, and all her friends who asked her said they didn't know.
Zhou Chan's love affair is really secret, no one told her, and it is impenetrable.
"How is it? How are you doing outside? Did that man bully you?" Dou Lanying finally took the lead in speaking.
Zhou Chan smiled faintly and said: "Since I can follow him without hesitation like this, he must not be able to bully me, I don't live entirely on him in New York, I also have my own job, and I am financially independent, so no one can bully me." ”
Dou Lanying glanced at her sideways, shook her head, and said, "You are always so strong." Why don't you bring my granddaughter and grandson here, and you don't want them to meet your grandparents?"
"No, I heard the second brother say that there are a lot of things at home, and Mu Sen originally said that he would take the two of them out to play, Mu Sen is usually busy with work and rarely accompanies the two children, and he happens to be free recently. I also came back from leave, Mom, you should know that the Spring Festival in the United States is different from that in China, and the New Year has already been over there. As she spoke, she yawned, rubbed her temples sideways, and said, "If you hadn't said that the fifth wife's wife had given birth, I would have had jet lag." ”
"By the way, who did the fifth child marry?" Zhou Chan suddenly asked.
"Cheng Xunxun. ”
Zhou Chan has a slight impression of this name, she left home at the age of twenty-five, she was no longer in the Zhou family when Cheng Xunchun came to the Zhou family, and then there were several times when Zhou Chan came and left in a hurry, naturally she didn't have much memory of Cheng Xunxuan, and she herself didn't want to take care of the internal affairs of the Zhou family, so she didn't know about those messy relationships, "Which daughter?"
Dou Lanying chuckled and said, "What daughter, the girl we bought from outside the year you left home, this girl is the same as Jiashu's eight-character match, it was originally a child daughter-in-law raised by him, who knows ......" At this point, she waved her hand, "Forget it, I won't mention these things, there is nothing to mention, anyway, he is now the legal wife of the fifth child, don't ask more." ”
"Hey, I don't want to ask too much. Zhou Chan replied coldly, this simple sentence was full of sarcasm.
Dou Lanying was naturally uncomfortable when she heard it, so she couldn't help but glare at her as a warning, but Zhou Chan just shrugged her shoulders and didn't say anything more, so she closed her eyes and took a nap to avoid embarrassment. When she opened her eyes, the car was entering the hospital gate.
Zhou Yanqing has been accompanying her in the hospital for the past two days, it can be said that she has not left an inch, when they arrived, Cheng Xunxuan was breastfeeding the child, Zhou Yanqing opened a yellow sentence without being salty, and it happened to be heard by them, Cheng Xunxuan unconsciously blushed, lowered his voice and said, "Go away." ”
"Old Five, do you feel different when you are a father?" Zhou Chan leaned against the door frame with the gift in her hand, looking at him with a smile.
Zhou Yanqing looked up and saw Zhou Chan, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, then raised his lips and smiled, and said, "Zhou Chan." ”
"There's nothing big or small, it's called sister. Zhou Chan pouted and deliberately put on a face.
"When did you come back? Why don't you come back without notifying, I'll pick you up." The smile on Zhou Yanqing's face was delighted.
Cheng Xunxun saw Zhou Yanqing's smile, and inevitably turned his head to look at the door with curiosity in his heart, and what caught his eye was a woman who looked about the same age as Zhou Yanqing.
Zhou Chan had already walked in, naturally noticed Cheng Xunxun's gaze, raised her chin at her with a smile, and said, "The child is important, feed the child first, and when we finish feeding, we are introducing ourselves, don't worry." Zhou Chan put the things in her hand on the table, put her hands in her pockets and did not approach.
Dou Lanying was not shy about it, and hurriedly walked over to see her grandson.
In the middle of the night, Cheng Xunchun finished feeding and tidied up his clothes, this time Zhou Yanqing was sitting on the sofa chatting with Zhou Chan, the two of them looked very warm, Cheng Xunchun secretly glanced at Zhou Chan a few more times, and slowly guessed who she was. Dou Lanying has a daughter she knows, she has seen it once or twice, and then she has never seen it again, and few people in the family mention it, I heard that they have cut off contact.
Zhou Chan probably felt Cheng Xunxun's frequent glances, reached out and patted Zhou Yanqing's thigh, and said, "Come on, introduce me to your little wife, to be honest, if it weren't for my mother saying that you have already obtained the certificate, I suspect that you have married a minor." ”
"Am I such an unreliable person?" Zhou Yanqing glanced at her.
"I never thought you were a reliable person. Zhou Chan said very seriously, and looked at him with an expression that I was wrong.
Zhou Yanqing gave them a brief introduction, and Cheng Xunxuan consciously called her sister.
Zhou Chan immediately slapped Zhou Yanqing's chest with a backhand and said, "Did you hear it, people are younger than you." ”
Cheng Xunxun smiled shyly and didn't say anything, Zhou Chan was also a person who had given birth, so he sat down to talk to her about parenting, and then he couldn't stop the attack of jet lag, so he went back ahead of schedule and was sent back by Zhou Yanqing himself. There is Mother Xu in the hospital to take care of, and there is nothing to worry about.
"Why did you suddenly think that you came back, alone?" asked Zhou Yanqing while driving.
Zhou Chan supported her head with one hand, nodded, and said, "Yes, I'll stay for a few days and leave, and I have to go back to work." The second brother called me and said that my mother was not in good health, and hoped that I would be able to come back and have a look, and it was time for the Chinese New Year, and Mu Sen also said that I should come back to see, and I forgot how long I hadn't been back to Luancheng. Seriously, if it weren't for the second brother who arranged a car to pick me up at the airport, I wouldn't have been able to find where Zhou's house was, you also know that I gave birth to two children, one was pregnant and stupid for three years, and the two added up to six years, Mu Sen said that I was getting more and more stupid, and said that I was sold and helped others count the money. ”
"I didn't admit it before, but now that I admit it, I've really become stupid. Zhou Chan narrowed her eyes slightly, looked sideways at the window, and said with a smile: "Even the memory has faded." ”
"How did that chick get stuffed into your hand? You bastard, you can't really rob your nephew's woman, can you?"
Zhou Yanqing glanced sideways at her, and said with a smile: "Don't say anything unpleasant, in short, just remember that Cheng Xunxun is my woman, I remember that you were not such a gossip person before, after giving birth to two children, you not only became stupid but also gossipy." ”
"Tell me what has happened to the Zhou family over the years, both in the company and within the family. Zhou Chan suddenly restrained her laughter and said very seriously.
"What's the matter? You see that your father is old and plans to come back to rob the property?"
"Mussen's company is doing very well, and I don't need these things. Zhou Chan frowned, snorted, and said, "What are you kidding me?" ”
"Then why are you asking so much, there's nothing to say. The smile on Zhou Yanqing's face faded, and his eyes fell on the front intently, "Just stay in the United States, what will happen to the Zhou family in the future, you just don't come to get involved, do you understand it?"
Zhou Chan glanced at him deeply, her eyes were slightly deep, she reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Leave yourself some more way back." ”
Zhou Yanqing sent Zhou Chan to the door of the house and turned back, Rong Ping knew that this sister-in-law came back and had prepared a room for her, she had not rested for a moment since she got off the plane, and after returning home to greet them, she was ready to go upstairs to rest, and just walked to the staircase and met Zhou Jingyang, this is the first time that Zhou Chan has come back to meet father and daughter, or meet head-on.
Rong Ping, who was following beside her, couldn't help but take a breath, stood on the side and hesitated, and was about to say something to adjust the atmosphere, but Zhou Jingyang took the lead in speaking, "When did you come back?"
Zhou Chan raised her eyes and glanced at him, smiled shallowly, and said, "It's here in the afternoon, I went to the hospital just now to see the fifth child." Although her tone was gentle, her attitude was so detached that she didn't even call her father until now.
"Hmm. Zhou Jingyang responded, but did not get out of the way.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, but Zhou Chan still didn't call her father, only lowered her head and said, "I didn't fall asleep on the plane, I'm going to sleep for a while." ”
Zhou Jingyang lowered his eyes, his face was serious, and he took a step to the side after a while, and Zhou Chan said thank you and went upstairs. Rong Ping raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou Jingyang, smiled lightly, and said: "Xiaochan must be tired, she hasn't rested since she got off the plane, and the United States has to take a plane here for more than ten hours, and there is a time difference, this person must be tired." ”
"Hmm. Zhou Jingyang walked away without saying anything.
At night, Zhou Chan overslept, and when she went downstairs, everyone dispersed, and there were only cold dishes and cold meals in the kitchen.
The next afternoon, Zhou Chan went to the hospital again, and Cheng Xun's ward was always lively, and there was never a shortage of people to see her. Zhou Yanan didn't touch Zhou Chan yesterday, so when he met her in the hospital, he naturally dragged her and chattered for a while, Zhou Chan didn't stay long, sat for a while and left, saying that he hadn't come back for a long time and wanted to go for a walk.
Zhou Yanan originally volunteered to accompany her, but she politely refused, she didn't need a driver, so she took some cash from Zhou Yanqing and left with her bag on her back.
After Zhou Chan left, Zhou Yanan couldn't help but start gossiping about the aunt's deeds with Cheng Xunxun, of course, what she said was also pieced together in Rong Ping's mouth.
……
Zhou Chan went back to her alma mater, there was nothing in the school during the Spring Festival, and there was no scenery to see in winter, she slowly walked most of the campus, and then found a place to sit down, she sat in this position just to see the school's administrative building, she remembered that the teacher's office was in this building, thinking that she used to always run to the administrative building, looking for all kinds of problems to pester the teacher, it was funny to think about it.
The cold wind blew on her face, and the skin was painful, and she felt even more cold in her heart.
The past has crossed in her mind, and after leaving for so many years, she always thought that she could forget, saying that time is the best medicine for forgetting, but now she has realized that sometimes time can also be poison. Not only did they not forget, but they missed it even more.
Time is like flowing water, and when Zhou Chan came back to her senses from her memory, the sky was getting dark, and there were thick dark clouds fluttering in the sky, she raised her hand and glanced at the time, she actually sat here for two hours, and it was probably going to rain when she saw the sky. Zhou Chan stared blankly for a while, until a drop of rain fell on her face, she reacted, and hurriedly got up and walked to the school gate.
However, her alma mater covers a large area, and she walked around the campus for a long time, which naturally took the same amount of time to get out, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The phone rang in the middle of the road, it was her husband calling, she found a place to shelter from the rain, picked up the phone, and hung up first after just saying a few words.
Zhou Chan took advantage of the rain to rush out with a bag on the top of her head, but the rain became heavier before she ran to the school gate, and when she arrived at the door, everyone became a soup chicken, the most pitiful thing is that the time was late, there was no taxi at the door at this time, she could only go to the doorman to hide from the rain, and called Zhou Yanqing by the way.
The doorman was quite approachable, and made her hot tea to warm her up, but the clothes on her body were wet and couldn't warm up. Zhou Chan sat for a while, then stood by the door with a cup in her hand and waited for someone.
I don't know how long later, a black car appeared in the rain and stopped at the main entrance. Zhou Chan didn't think much about it, put down the cup in her hand, picked up her bag, said thank you to the doorman, blocked the bag above her head, rushed into the rain curtain, ran to the car, first pulled the door of the passenger seat, couldn't open it, and knocked on the window.
The rain was heavy, her clothes were already soaked, the windows were not lowered, and she pulled the door twice more and still couldn't open it. She was anxious, and when she was about to curse, the window was lowered, she bent down to look in, she didn't know the person sitting in the cab, the other party smiled at her, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"
She turned her head to look behind her again, and after a glance she paused, and the person who happened to be sitting in the back seat also saw her, and her originally unwavering eyes swelled.
She stood in the rain, bent over, and looked at him fixedly, and after a long time, she spit out three words, "Chen Nanmu." ”
Just when she was stunned, a shrill horn sound made her come back to her senses, and she stood up straight suddenly, and immediately heard Zhou Yanqing's voice, "Why are you standing in the rain, this is giving birth to a child and losing all the common sense?"
She took two steps back suddenly, turned her head and saw Zhou Yanqing coming over with an umbrella, she almost didn't hesitate at all, quickly passed, grabbed Zhou Yanqing's hand, and said: "I was mistaken, I thought the car was you, let's go, let's go, it's raining so hard." ”
Zhou Yanqing frowned, glanced back at the car, and then looked at Zhou Chan, who kept pushing her forward, and always felt that something was weird, but she didn't ask anything.
Zhou Chan asked Zhou Yanqing to take her to the mall to buy a set of clothes, and Zhou Yanqing took her to Wanbao in Lu Jingbei, got a room and let her take a hot shower. She washed for more than an hour, and Zhou Yanqing almost thought she was suffocated inside, and almost found someone to knock on the door and go in.
Wanbao's people called Lu Jingbei, this kind of New Year's holiday, Lu Jingbei is often the most free, and it didn't take long for him to appear in front of Zhou Yanqing, sitting on the sofa and opening a bottle of wine, and quipped: "It's very difficult to see you recently, I originally planned to go to the hospital with Rong Zheng tomorrow to see Cheng Xun, but you are really not interesting, if it weren't for Rong Zheng's sister is your second sister-in-law, you don't plan to let us know if you have a child?"
"Busy forgot. Zhou Yanqing wanted to pick up the wine glass and take a sip, but after thinking about it, he put it back.
"What's the matter?"
"I'll have to go back to the hospital in a while, it's inconvenient. Zhou Yanqing waved his hand, and then picked up the water cup and took a sip.
Lu Jingbei raised his eyebrows, glanced at the direction of the bathroom, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I heard that you brought a woman over?"
Zhou Yanqing glanced at him, "My sister." ”
"I didn't say anything, even if it's not your sister, I won't say anything, is it possible that you are still afraid that I will sue in the middle of the year." ”
As soon as the words fell, the bathroom door opened, and Zhou Chan came out of it neatly dressed, her hair was still a little wet, her cheeks were red, and she said with a smile: "This place is really comfortable to bathe." ”
"Who was that person just now?" Zhou Yanqing didn't beat around the bush.
"Who?" Zhou Chan pretended to be stupid.
He squinted, Zhou Chan would meet his gaze frankly, as if the person who was standing in the rain just now was not her. Zhou Chan saw the wine in a blink of an eye, put the towel in her hand to the side, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, snorted twice, and said, "Good wine." ”
Subsequently, they had a meal at Wanbao, and Zhou Chan also drank a lot of wine.
……
Cheng Xunxun slept for a while, and when she opened her eyes, it was already dark, she tilted her head slightly, and when she saw the person standing on the edge of the small bed, she was startled, "Sister-in-law Qing, what are you doing!"
Sister-in-law Qing was startled by this sudden scolding, and just picked up the baby, almost letting go.
