Xie Wanying changed the subway a few times and took the bus for another hour before arriving at an old community in Waiqiao Town, Jiading District.

Although she was wearing 5 cm high heels and a narrow professional tube skirt, Xie Wanying still walked up to the 6th floor with light steps, and knocked on an old security door with faded Spring Festival couplets.

"Who's it, who's out there?"

Xie Wanying looked at her watch and shouted a little anxiously:

"It's me, Xiaoying, aunt open the door. ”

The old security door lock creaked a few times, and finally opened, revealing an old woman's face at the door, although her hair was dyed black, the wrinkles on her face, rough palms, and simple clothes all proved that she was a hardworking and simple rural woman, and her straight waist and the long face of the northern woman showed the blood relationship between her and Xie Wanying.

"Auntie, I'm the only one in this house who comes to see you, so don't worry so much. Xie Wanying complained as she walked into the house.

"Shhhhhhhh ”

Auntie held out her wrinkled finger and whispered to her mouth.

Hearing the word "Xiaozhi", Xie Wanying's originally impatient face suddenly became calm, she nodded slightly, and at the same time did not forget to take off her high heels, stepped on the cold floor with her feet in skin-colored stockings, and walked into the house lightly.

This is an old house of 90 square meters, with a two-bedroom and two-living room layout, and the furnishings and furniture inside are very old, so the rent is relatively cheap.

However, under the diligent hands of my aunt, the room is still very neat and clean, the round table in the dining room is clasped with unfinished dishes, and the award certificate of Waiqiao Town Central Primary School in Jiading District is pasted on the wall, and the content of the award certificate is:

Xie Zhifei made remarkable achievements in morality, intelligence and physical fitness in the first semester of the sixth grade, and was rated as a good student. ”

Seeing the red certificate, Xie Wanying's face with heavy makeup finally showed the first smile of the night, but when her eyes moved to the food on the table, the smile disappeared again.

Xie Wanying stretched out her fair and slender hand, opened the rice cage and looked at it, her two thin eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she said dissatisfiedly:

"Auntie, how many times have I told you that overnight meals are not good for your health, why do you have to give Xiao Zhi leftovers. It's not like I didn't give you a home. ”

Auntie's wrinkled palm snatched the rice cage, covered the food on the table, and retorted:

"It's not an overnight meal, the eggplant and peas that have just been cooked in the evening, Xiao Zhi didn't eat much, and it will be hot tomorrow, just in time, and give him porridge in the morning. “

"Xiaoying, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, and now the price has risen a lot, eggs cost three yuan and eighty-one pounds, spinach costs two dollars and five pounds, and apples cost eight yuan and one pound......"

Xie Wanying was helpless by her aunt's robbery, she saw that her aunt was endlessly reporting prices, and quickly interrupted:

"Okay, okay, from this month, I'll add a thousand yuan to your household, you don't want Xiao Zhi to eat leftovers. ”

Although her request was satisfied, her aunt still muttered reluctantly.

"I'm not for your money, if it weren't for your mother's early death, Xiaozhi is really pitiful, why did I come all the way here to help you take care of the children......"

Xie Wanying didn't want to pay attention to her aunt's nagging anymore, she walked directly into the child's room and looked at her sleeping son on the bed.

.....

The aunt thoughtfully turned on a night light, and the dim light shone on the small bed, reflecting the son's upright and delicate little face a little pale, and the son's facial features, eyebrows and eyes were almost printed out of the same mold as Xie Wanying, but his face was like his son's biological father, the man who could only be called a biological father.

After the end of a college romance under the moon, Xie Wanying's boyfriend in college said goodbye and disappeared, leaving only Xie Wanying, who had only graduated for half a year, a three-month pregnant child, half a year in arrears of rent, and the mocking eyes of classmates and teachers.

Xie Wanying could have been like the girls around her who had the same experience, beat the child, changed her face, and started a new life.

This situation is all too common in China today, and behind almost every college romance that dies is a child who has been beaten.

But a minute before deciding to abort, Xie Wanying felt the child who was about to die squirming, and she heard the child's heartbeat.

At that moment, Xie Wanying changed her mind, and the child was born.

In the incomprehensible eyes of her peers, under the regretful eyes of everyone, Xie Wanying decided to raise this child by herself, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she was unwilling to give up, as if this was the only relief left to her by that relationship.

But the reality is cruel, an ordinary girl from Central Plains Province, a graduate of Sanben University, it is very difficult to survive in the metropolis of Hanhai, not to mention that she is still a single mother with children.

Xie Wanying didn't have time to think too much, looking at her son who was crying after landing, she could only rush into this drunken metropolis without hesitation, relying on her only talent and capital, starting from an ordinary real estate agency, and gradually becoming a luxury real estate agency today, she has also gained a lot of reputation in the industry.

In order to take care of the child and be able to see her son often, Xie Wanying did not send her son back to her hometown, but rented a cheap old house in Waiqiao Town, Jiading District, in the suburbs, and took her dearest aunt from childhood to Hanhai to live, and regularly gave her aunt living expenses every month, so that her aunt could help her take care of her son.

As a single mother, in order to afford the living expenses of her son and aunt, Xie Wanying has become more and more diligent in her work, and she needs to sell more houses in order to earn more money and make it possible for her son to live a better life.

And Xie Wanying can only take one day a week, drive a few hours to this suburb, hurriedly take a look at the children, and then hurried back, back to the cold and unforgiving metropolis.

Xie Wanying looked at her son stupidly for a long time, then gently clamped the quilt for him, took out a brand-new electronic dictionary from her bag, put it on her son's bedside table, and gently left a kiss on her son's forehead, and then reluctantly withdrew from the room.

Walking to the living room, Xie Wanying took out a stack of money from her bag and handed it to her aunt, and said:

"Auntie, this is the home of the month, I'll come early next week and add a little more to you. ”

My aunt took the money with her calloused hands, and said with a look of concern on her face:

"You haven't eaten yet, let's eat something and then go, I'll help you heat up the food." ”

Xie Wanying shook her head impatiently, rejected her aunt's kindness and said:

"Where do I still have time to eat, if I don't leave early, the subway will be suspended, I can't go back, and it is very expensive to take a taxi. ”

Aunt followed Xie Wanying silently, looking at her niece stepping on the high heels at the door, her tall and slender body, still slender waist, she couldn't help but say with a sad look:

"Xiaoying, it's not a way for you to be so busy now. Women, they always need a home, don't be busy with work, have time to look for it, and see if there is a suitable man. It's better to marry someone, it's also good for Xiaozhi. ”

Auntie's words, like a thorn, pierced the softest part of Xie Wanying's heart, her hand holding the door frame paused for a while, her face showed incomprehensible melancholy, but only for a moment, she quickly bit her lip, shook her head and said:

"Auntie, don't talk about it, I am in such a situation, and I have a child, who wants to marry me. “

"Men in this world are unreliable, only money is the most reliable. ”

Leaving these words, Xie Wanying stepped on her high heels and staggered down the stairs, as if she was afraid that her aunt would say something similar again.

The aunt looked sympathetically at the sound of her niece's high heels and sighed, and then closed the old security door.
