"Mom, what are you kidding about the New Year. ”

My mother's expression didn't look like a joke. I leaned against the greasy stove behind me.

My mother said: "When you were just full moon, someone came here with you and gave us a sum of money, so that I and your father could raise you, and there was no brother at that time, and I could get hundreds of thousands of ......."

My mother paused and turned her face away, "Hundreds of thousands of dollars were twenty-three years ago, and you know, it was a large number...... I agreed with your father, but I was pregnant with Fengfeng when I raised you less than two years old...... I'll send you to the country...... Later you also knew. Your dad started gambling after he was laid off, and he owed a lot of debts, and he lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, so he could only sit and eat empty......"

I looked at my mother's face, and felt that I didn't know her for a while, even if she and my dad never cared about my life or death before, I also felt that this was my backing, even if this backing was not solid, but I knew that I had relatives, even if I got married. I also have my mother's family, and I can call my mother to complain after being wronged.

However, now I find that even this last bit of affection is gone.

Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, my mother couldn't help but reach out and tug at my sleeve: "Jiayin?!"

This one. It kind of pulled my sanity back.

When I spoke again, my voice was completely back to normal, although my legs were still a little weak, and I asked, "Who sent me here?"

My mother said: "It was a man from City C, who gave us a mobile phone number, also from City C, and said that there was something to contact him, but a year later." The mobile phone number can't be reached, and now it's empty. ”

I frowned, "Then why are you telling me now?"

"Last month," my mother paused, "someone came to the house and asked about it twenty-three years ago, because your father and I promised not to tell anyone about it, but now a man has come and knows the truth, and we've all talked about it...... As for yourself, in the end, it is your own business, you are the person concerned, and others know that you are the only one who does not know, which is really unfair to you. ”

Hearing my mother say that there was a person who came last month, I didn't know why, but I suddenly thought of Gu Qingcheng in my mind......

At that time. Gu Qingcheng asked me for a hair for three percent of a contract.

Actually, at that time, I thought it was very strange that there were many ways to get my hair, such as taking it off my clothes while I wasn't paying attention, and I didn't have to ask for my hair so openly, but it would attract my attention. Then, there is only one possibility, Gu Qingcheng is just to get my attention, that is, after I know something, so that I can think of him, and then go to him to verify it.

"Then who my biological parents are, don't you know?"

My mother nodded: "I don't know, now even the middleman has no letter." ”

Back to the table to eat, there is no longer the interest just now, my brother Fengfeng has been putting vegetables into my small bowl, I just ate some.

Lu Jingzhong could see that I was absent-minded, so I made an excuse to get up and say goodbye after eating a meal.

It was dark in the hallway, and even though it was only noon, there were only bits of natural light leaking through the crack-like skylight.

Lu Jingzhong held the ice cream in one hand and held me in the other, so he could slow down.

When I got to the yard and got into Lu Jingzhong's car, I noticed that I didn't have my bag in my hand, so I went back to get it.

However, when I reached the door, I was about to push the door when I heard a quarrel inside.

My dad said, "Who told you to tell her that?!, will she recognize us in the future?!"

My mother said, "That person has found a family, anyway, it is better to be a favor! She must be from a big family, and she has a child outside the house, and she has no choice but to send it to the countryside to raise." ”

"Needless to say, when the man came, he said that he was cheating. But you don't see it now, now she's a rich man on the list, and she just gave her a house, if you tell her about it, in case the house ......."

"Old man, are you stupid?!The real estate certificate has already arrived......

"Women really have long hair and short knowledge, why don't you know what to send in the future, you sent the house first, maybe the next time it's a car, it's good, let you say this, it doesn't matter at all......"

The more I listened, the cooler my heart became, and suddenly a voice came from behind me.

"Sister, why don't you go in?"

The sound of the two men arguing in the door suddenly disappeared, and the door opened with a bang in front of me, because it was the kind of dilapidated wooden door, and there was a creak when it was opened.

Immediately afterward, I saw the slightly panicked faces of these two people, but my dad recovered quickly and asked me with a smile, "Why did you come back?"

I also smiled: "I forgot to take the bag." ”

After taking the bag, my mother shouted: "Fengfeng, send your sister down!"

"Got it!"

I can hear my mother's last emphasis-"your sister", she wants me to remember that no matter whether they are related by blood or not, there is still a younger brother of mine here, even if there is no fertility grace, there is also the grace of parenting.

"Sister, you go downstairs slowly, it's too dark here," my brother said, "it's better now, but I won't be able to see my fingers until the evening, saying that it will be demolished at the end of the year, and I really want to move out quickly." ”

I calculated the year, Fengfeng and Li Zhengke's years are the same, so I asked: "Fengfeng, is it time to take the college entrance examination this year?"

Feng Feng nodded: "Yes." ”

As soon as I moved my lips, Feng Feng interrupted me: "Sister, I know what you want to say, don't ask me about my grades, it's unlucky to celebrate the New Year." ”

Me: "......"

However, when I got downstairs, I still reached out and patted Fengfeng's back: "Study hard, and strive to be admitted to City C to find my sister." ”

Feng Feng nodded indiscriminately, but I knew that he was obviously not careful, so I left my own mobile phone number to him: "If there is anything to call me, you can just call me directly, don't tell your parents." ”

Far away, I saw a long figure standing in front of the black private car, with his arm resting on the open door, a little red between one finger.

I walked around the back of the car and walked straight over to him, wrapping my arms around his waist from behind.

"Maomao. ”

Lu Jingzhong flicked the cigarette ash off, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with the sole of his shoe, and his warm and dry big hand had already held my hand behind his back, and when he turned around, he held me in his arms: "What's wrong?"

I leaned against his chest: "It's okay, I just want to hug you." ”

Lu Jingzhong chuckled lightly, and patted his palm on my back.

It was just a matter of a few words, and I had no parents.

Now I don't feel too much discomfort, but I feel cold, very cold.

It wasn't until someone passed by and there was a whisper that came to my cochlea that I suddenly came back to my senses, this is the street, I hurriedly struggled lightly, and my face was already red: "Get in the car." ”

There was a hint of playfulness in Lu Jingzhong's eyes: "I don't know who said I wanted to hug it just now." ”

I glared at him, opened the car door and sat in, only to find that Ice Cream was staring at me with a pair of big black eyes, when Lu Jingzhong sat in the cab, he turned his head to stare at Lu Jingzhong, then lowered his head, and continued to fiddle with the ipad in his hand, I saw that the screen was playing a game, he didn't play at all, he just thought it was funny, and his little fingers clicked on the screen.

In front of children, there are a lot of things to pay attention to, so it wasn't until the evening, after falling asleep with ice cream, that I pulled Lu Jingzhong onto the sofa and told my mother what she said at noon today, as well as the things I suspected about Gu Qingcheng.

"Am I a particularly white-eyed wolf...... I don't feel bad now. ”

Lu Jingzhong: "Well, little white-eyed wolf." ”

I directly opened my mouth and bit his nose, "Do you say that Gu Qingcheng has something to do with my parents? This time when I go back, it is necessary to find him once......

Lu Jingzhong said "um".

"Uh," I thought how Lu Jingzhong could be so calm, so he asked rhetorically, "Do you know something......"

Lu Jingzhong's eyes fluctuated when he looked at me, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the coffee table, but because I was pregnant, he didn't light it, just held it at the corner of his lips and squinted at me, which made me feel a little bad.

I can't help but admit that when Lu Jingzhong smokes, his charm is particularly attractive.

However, it is still necessary to quit smoking.

I took the cigarette from between his teeth: "Don't smoke." ”

Lu Jingzhong smiled: "When a man doesn't smoke, he wants to do something to swivel the chair, such as ......"

I answered, "Chewing gum with yogurt, I read it on the Internet, when you have a craving for smoking, you can chew gum to relieve your craving." ”

Lu Jingzhong said: "It doesn't work. ”

"It doesn't work?" I frowned, "You tried?"

"Actually, there's one way that works. ”

"What?"

Lu Jingzhong leaned over and put his arms on the back of the sofa behind me: "Kiss." ”

Before the words fell, Lu Jingzhong had already bitten my lip and kissed me, completely catching me off guard, but his kisses have always been very infectious, and people can't help but want to cater to them.

Kissing and kissing, Lu Jingzhong picked me up horizontally and entered the bedroom.

I was kissed, and a flash flashed in my mind: "Hey, aren't you talking about business? Lu Maomao, get up quickly! Isn't it ......?"

He was shut down with a kiss again.

In this way, I can be sure that Lu Jingzhong knows my life experience, and he may already know it.

…………

I woke up early the next morning, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that Lu Jingzhong was also looking at me, I was still a little confused, but Lu Jingzhong's eyes were very clear.

From the first time I met him, I knew that there was a string in his head that was sometimes tightened. Zongfeng Siba.

As if to see the meaning of the inquiry in my eyes, he said: "When I was a child, when I was about seven or eight years old, I had just entered the first grade of elementary school, and once when I went to my grandmother's house, in the summer, at night, I slept very soundly, and I didn't wake up all night, but the next morning, I found that my grandmother, who was sleeping in the room next to me, had passed away...... One glass shattered on the floor. On the same day, I came to the doctor and judged that it was a sudden asthma. If you have asthma, you will definitely make a lot of noise, and you will break a glass, but I don't hear it at all...... At that time, I hated myself so much that I didn't say a word for a whole month......"

Maybe it was the relationship that just woke up in the morning, Lu Jingzhong's voice was a little hoarse, I felt distressed when I heard it, and held his head in my arms: "It's not your fault, grandma won't blame your ......"

I can imagine that for a seven or eight-year-old child, that kind of experience must be like a nightmare, haunting the surroundings all the time, so that Lu Jingzhong has developed such a habit of nervous tension all the time.

I reached out and covered his eyelids: "Sleep a little longer, I'll be with you." ”

Lu Jingzhong's eyelashes were very long, and I could feel his eyelashes gently scraping in the palm of his hand, as if they were a small brush, but when I took my palm away, I looked at him with his eyes closed, and his eyelashes fluttered slightly.

…………

On the day I left, I went to see Qiao Chu again, but this time, she was not at home, and it was Qiao Chu's mother who opened the door.

"Hello Auntie, I'm here to find Qiao Chu. ”

Qiao Chu's mother's eyes were red: "Her condition suddenly deteriorated yesterday and she was hospitalized......"

I was also shocked when I heard it, "So ...... now?"

"It's past the danger period, don't worry. ”

Then I asked Qiao Chu's mother for the hospital and ward number, and Qiao Chu's mother said, "I'm cooking soup in the kitchen right now, I'll go with you later." ”

Qiao Chu's condition suddenly deteriorated, which was unexpected by everyone, when I arrived, Qiao Chu had just come out of the chemotherapy room, his whole face was miserable and white, almost white and transparent, when he saw me coming, he didn't react for a while, it seemed that it took some time to recognize me.

"Why, don't you know each other?"

Qiao Chu said: "Where can I be, you have surprised me too much." ”

Later, I learned that this was not a surprise, but a fright, in fact, at that time, Qiao Chu's eyesight had begun to deteriorate, and he often couldn't see things in front of him clearly.

After talking to Qiao Chu for a while, Qiao Chu shouted for me to go, don't miss the train.

I said, "Just drive me away?"

"Fuck off. ”

Qiao Chu can be so poor with me, it seems that he is in a good mood, and when I finally left, he specially told me to remember to watch "Breaking Bad" and discuss the plot when the time comes.

That's it, this year in X City, it's over.

When I went, I went empty-handed, and when I returned to City C, I brought back a two-and-a-half-year-old ice cream.

After Liang Yi, who came to the airport to pick us up, saw it, his eyes were about to pop out, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "This ...... No...... My brother, what does this mean?"

I looked at Liang Xiaoliu so funny, so I pulled the ice cream, "Ice cream, call uncle." ”

Ice cream was very obedient, and the childish voice called out: "Hello uncle." ”

Liang Xiaoliu's expression was like thunder: "I haven't been a father yet, I've become an uncle." ”

Me: "...... Is there anything to do with the two?"

Liang Yi was looking for a driver to drive a four-seater private car, but he obviously didn't include ice cream, and now for the comfort of a few of us, Liang Xiaoliu kicked the driver down and threw down his wallet: "Take a taxi back by yourself." ”

Because Liang Yi drank alcohol before he came to the airport, and now he can't drive, or Lu Jingzhong is driving, the ice cream is Liang Yi held in the car, and when he got in the car, he hugged his neck and didn't let go, so I simply made room for them in the back seat and sat in the passenger seat.

After getting along with Ice Cream for three weeks, I can see that Ice Cream has completely integrated into the circle between me and Lu Jingzhong, and it has begun to be very sticky, not only sticky to me and Lu Jingzhong, especially Liang Xiaoliu now, who is simply crazy about being stuck with ice cream.

However, maybe Liang Yi is also in the way of landing Lu Jingzhong, the fifth brother, even if he is crazy, he is also crazy with itching through his boots.

When he finally got home, Liang Yi held the ice cream in both hands: "Little brat, you're here, do you want to go with your mother?"

Then, what made Liang Yi particularly embarrassed was that Ice Cream heard this sentence and stretched out his hand to me without hesitation: "Mom hug." ”

Liang Xiaoliu was suddenly particularly shocked, and his face seemed to be a frosted eggplant.

I couldn't help laughing and grabbed Ice Cream's little hand: "Say goodbye to your little sixth uncle." ”

Liang Xiaoliu snorted and turned his face away.

After all, I haven't been home for nearly a month, and when I got home, I thought that my home must have been covered with a layer of dust, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came in, from the entrance, the living room, to the railing on the stairs, it was simply smooth and clean, "So clean?"

Liang Xiaoliu, who was following behind, snorted again and said, "It's my ......"

Lu Jingzhong said: "I found a nanny to come over in advance to clean it." ”

Liang Xiaoliu: "......"

It may be that Liang Yi felt too unconvinced, why did Ice Cream be so sticky to him at first, and now he has been following Lu Jingzhong's buttocks, running on his short legs, even if he puts his nose in front of Ice Cream, Ice Cream only follows his father.

I took the opportunity to ask: "Little Liuzi, do you eat at home?"

Liang Yi said: "Eat." ”

Lu Jingzhong hugged the ice cream and glared: "What to eat, this is polite and polite, you are still serious, get out of here." ”

Liang Xiaoliu snorted from his nose, "Don't go, I want to see my little nephew." ”

Sometimes I feel that Liang Yi is a little older than Li Zhengke, a little juvenile, and suddenly remembered the last time, the girl who was brought out by Liang Yi asked: "Liang Yi, what about the girl last time?"

Liang Yi was stunned for a moment: "What girl?"

Before I could speak, Liang Yi had already said "oh": "It's broken." ”

Forget it, when I didn't ask.

Because I couldn't cook with my stomach, I still let Lu Jingzhong come in to cook, and I commanded in the back, and Liang Xiaoliu took the opportunity to take the ice cream for himself.

"Your mom and dad want to cook, come, my brother will play with you......"

Lu Jingzhong: "Little sixth nephew." ”

Liang Yi bared his teeth: "Come, ice cream, little uncle will play with you." ”

Now the children are all hooked in a hurry, plus Liang Yi looks good, holding a key in his hand and shaking it with a jingling bell, the ice cream follows him out, leaving me and Lu Jingzhong in the kitchen.

I asked, "How old is Liang Yi this year?"

Lu Jingzhong said: "One year older than you...... Why, who do you want to draw the red line with?"

“…… I'm just asking. ”

After all, it was Lu Jingzhong's sixth brother who came here to eat, so I set a dinner menu, three hot dishes and three cold dishes, plus a soup, anyway, I didn't do it, I moved a chair in the back and sat there as a supervisor.

However, Lu Jingzhong felt that it was too troublesome to make, so he simply stewed it in the last pot, with soup and vegetables in a big pot of rice.

Listening to Liang Xiaoliu reading a story to ice cream in the living room, I turned around and asked Lu Jingzhong: "Maomao, you haven't answered my question that day?"

"What's the problem?"

As soon as I heard that this was pretending to be stupid, I curled the corners of my mouth: "Lu Maomao, if you want to pretend to be stupid again, don't think about going to my bed tonight!"

Just as the oil was hot, the shredded meat was stir-fried in the pan, and there was a crackling sound, drowning out my voice.

I held my breath in my heart, and just shook my hand and went out.

At dinner in the evening, Liang Xiaoliu also saw that I was not very interested, and deliberately told two cold jokes, and the atmosphere became even colder for a while.

In the end, when Liang Xiaoliu left, Ice Cream hugged Liang Yi's leg and didn't let go, saying, "Little uncle, don't go." ”

Liang Xiaoliu smiled smugly, and a sentence "Look at my results" was written on his whole face.

It's just that this result was completely shattered into slag when Lu Jingzhong hooked his hand and the ice cream fart came over.

Liang Xiaoliu pointed to the ice cream: "Little brother, you wait!

Liang Xiaoliu left, there was one less amusing living treasure at home, and I thought that I was still in a cold war with Lu Jingzhong just now, so I went upstairs directly.

I went into the bathroom to take a bath, and after taking a bath, I lay on the bed and read a book for a while, but Lu Jingzhong still didn't come in, so I couldn't sit still a little bit, and opened the door and went out, but there was no one outside, and I vaguely heard the sound of water in a large bathroom in the living room, and the laughter that the ice cream couldn't help but make.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes, really, I forgot my wife when I had a son.

Just as he wanted to turn around and go upstairs, the bathroom door opened a crack: "Jiayin!"

When I looked back, I saw Ice Cream wrapped in a wide towel walking barefoot out of the bathroom, and the bathroom door behind him was closed.

I walked over, took Ice Cream's little hand, and asked him to put on his little slippers: "Go upstairs and sleep." ”

Ice cream was excited: "Sleep, sleep!"

I couldn't hold the ice cream with a big belly, so I led him upstairs and climbed into bed to help him put on his little pajamas.

Ice cream took out a fairy tale book from under her pillow: "Mom, tell a story!"

I turned off the headlights above my head, leaving only one wall lamp, and lay on my side on the edge of the ice-cream bed, flipping to a page.

Actually, until now, I wasn't ready to be a mother.

may really not accept it psychologically, so it seems that Lu Jingzhong, the father, entered the role faster than me.

Ice cream is very well-behaved, I only read one story, I saw that his upper and lower eyelids began to fight, so I put down the book and covered him with a quilt.

Ice cream took my hand: "Has the tadpole found its mother?"

I said, "Found it." ”

Ice Cream asked, "Then why didn't her mother come to him?"

I said, "Because...... His mom wasn't ready. ”

I know that Ice Cream was asked unintentionally, and he sometimes doesn't speak smoothly now.

I turned off the wall lamp and kissed him on the forehead: "Good night, baby." ”

Ice Cream's murmured voice said, "Good night, Mom." ”

Children are a gift from God, anytime and anywhere.

Out of the bedroom, I paid attention, Lu Jingzhong was not in the bedroom, and there was no downstairs, but there was a sexy male body reflected on the frosted glass of the bathroom, I glanced at it and turned to leave, the bathroom door opened a little: "Jiayin, help me bring the nightgown." ”

"Oh. ”

I still went to the closet and found a nightgown and handed it to Lu Jingzhong.

As soon as the nightgown was handed in, the door opened, Lu Jingzhong was wearing a pair of boxer briefs all over his body, his hair was still a little damp, his curly eyelashes were with water droplets, and the nightgown was tied casually on his body, and he raised his hand to hold me who was about to apply oil on the soles of his feet.

Lu Jing hugged my waist again, and the kiss with the smell of shower gel wanted to fall on my lips, and as soon as I deviated, his kiss fell on the corner of my lips: "Kiss it." ”

"Don't kiss!"

Lu Jingzhong snorted and laughed: "Why?"
