003 Liability
After dinner, Nian Nian sat on the sofa and watched the cartoon with relish, while Chen Xi took this opportunity to chat with Aunt Zhang about the past.
"Not long after you left, Yingying found out that she was pregnant with a child, and she came to me specifically for this matter. ”
Aunt Zhang recalled, and said in a deep voice: "Yingying was born in a rich family since she was a child, and she has suffered nothing. After you left, she was left with a pregnant woman, and even life became a problem, so when Niannian was about to be born, I simply moved here to take care of their mother and daughter. ”
Chen Xi was silent.
He could have imagined that image.
A woman watches her belly grow day by day, but there is no one around her who can rely on her, shopping for food, cooking, laundry, cleaning, tidying up these seemingly ordinary life chores, how can it be so simple for a pregnant woman?
Before the child was born, she had already become a single mother, who could understand her mood at that time?
The more Chen Xi thought about it, the more distressed he felt, only to feel that there was suddenly a sullen feeling in his heart and nowhere to vent.
“…… Later, Niannian was born, and the family's expenses also increased, seeing that she couldn't get in and out of the house all day, she was also very anxious, so she went out to find a job, worked overtime all day, and the whole person was tired and almost deformed. ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang suddenly glanced at Chen Xi, and then sighed: "Let me be honest with you, when she went to work, there were good cars parked in front of this house all day long, and all the men who came to chase her shouted. ”
"Actually, I see that those people are all better than you, their mothers are orphans and widows, if you can find one to marry again, it will be good for her and Niannian, so I have repeatedly persuaded her to think about it......"
"But that girl is also stubborn, and every time I mention this, she gets angry. I don't know if she was poured some kind of soup by you, you negative man ran away without a sound, leaving her a woman to suffer. ”
Hearing this, Chen Xi had to smile helplessly.
He worked late that night, and when he came back, it was raining heavily, and he was running down the street when he was suddenly struck by lightning and fainted.
When he woke up again, he had already come to the Tianxuan Realm hundreds of millions of miles away, which was the legendary Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Chen Xi later thought about it carefully, there are several galaxies between the earth and the Tianxuan Realm, how powerful is a single lightning bolt?
The tickle was too weak, so it was absolutely impossible for lightning to cause him to travel through the galaxy instantly.
The real reason is probably that an ancient treasure that exists on Earth was activated by lightning, which affected him while he was running in the rain......
The more he thought about it, the more biased he became, Chen Xi hurriedly shook his head, came back to his senses and listened carefully to Aunt Zhang's story.
“…… When Nian Nian was more than a year old, Yingying suddenly told me that she was going to find you and wanted to entrust the child to me. ”
"Although I used to be just a servant in their family, Yingying was also raised by me since she was a child, to put it mildly, I have long regarded Yingying as my daughter, and her daughter is naturally my granddaughter, so I agreed to her. ”
"Go to me?"
"Well, I never saw her again. ”
"Is she coming home? Aunt Zhang, can you tell me where her house is? I'll go find her. ”
Chen Xi was a little anxious.
They have been together for five years, but in those five years, she has never mentioned her family, nor has she said where her home is, every time Chen Xi asks, she will be a little unhappy, and then Chen Xi does not dare to ask again.
"I can't tell you. ”
Aunt Zhang shook her head and sighed: "Before she left, she said that if you come back and she hasn't come back, then you shouldn't go out to find her again, let alone go to her house, because she can't go home......"
"Why?" Chen Xi was a little confused.
"Hey, don't ask, anyway, her family is very complicated, I can't tell you. ”
Aunt Zhang glanced at Chen Xi and seemed to think that it was not a way to perfunctory him like this, so she explained: "Besides, with her character, if she decides to go home, she will definitely come back and bring Niannian with her, but now that Niannian is four years old, she hasn't come back yet, so I guess she may still be looking for you all over the world." ”
"Looking for me, what is she looking for me......" Chen Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
At this time, the little guy just finished watching an episode of the cartoon, and then excitedly threw himself into Chen Xi's arms, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Let's not talk about Yingying for the time being, the little guy in front of me is the most important thing. ”
Aunt Zhang saw that the little guy and his father were much closer, and said with relief: "I originally planned to wait until this year's Chinese New Year, if you both don't come back, I will go back to my hometown with Niannian...... My granddaughter is also older, and they are too busy with work to take care of the children, so I have to go back to help them take care of the children......"
Hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but glance at the lively and cute little guy in his arms, and then looked at Aunt Zhang very solemnly and said: "It's good to have you all these years, I am grateful, I must remember this kindness." ”
If it weren't for Aunt Zhang, Chen Xi couldn't imagine what kind of life his wife and daughter would live.
Such a great kindness, how can it be repaid with an understatement of thanks?
"Needless to say, Yingying is still half my daughter, since she entrusted Niannian to me, I will naturally treat this child well. However, since you're back, I'll leave Niannian to you to take care of, and I should go home to see my granddaughter. ”
After speaking, Aunt Zhang kindly looked at Niannian, and seemed to be a little reluctant.
At this time, the little guy also heard her words, and hurriedly jumped off Chen Xi, ran to Aunt Zhang's side, and immediately cried, hugged her legs and sobbed: "Grandma, don't go......"
"Good boy, grandma doesn't leave, grandma accompanies you. ”
Aunt Zhang smiled and rubbed Niannian's head, but there was still a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
After a few years of getting along day and night, even if it is to raise a cat and a dog, there is a deep feeling, not to mention that this is still an innocent and cute child?
After coaxing the little guy, Aunt Zhang hugged her and said earnestly to Chen Xi: "I don't ask you where you have been in the past few years, but looking at the way you came back, it is estimated that you have not had a good time over the years......
"Sort of, it's hard to put it ...... words."
Chen Xi nodded, and he had already vaguely guessed what Aunt Zhang was going to say.
"Actually, I don't really want to give the child to you, because I don't feel at ease. But you're her dad after all, and I can't interfere too much as an outsider. So, I can only hope that the previous things are over, and you will understand one thing when you come back......"
Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang paused, looked at Chen Xi and said seriously: "You are a father, I hope you can truly understand the meaning of the word 'responsibility', and stop being like five years ago, okay?"
Liability.
Chen Xi suddenly felt that these two words were a little heavy.
For a moment, he couldn't help but have some mixed feelings in his heart.
