Chapter 303: The New Year Begins
Zhou Wei hadn't closed his eyes for more than 20 hours in a row, and he had another strenuous exercise, so he soon fell asleep.
Chang An stayed awake.
Although it was the middle of the night, there were still one or two firecrackers outside the window from time to time.
Zhou Wei's arm was clasped on Chang An's waist, she couldn't move, so she looked at the man in front of her, he flew back from the United States without saying a word, accompanied him for one night, and then took a plane for more than ten hours the next day, Chang An didn't say anything, but he was actually very moved in his heart.
I don't remember how I fell asleep later, but I didn't sleep long.
At six o'clock, there were firecrackers outside, and the day dawned, and the new year officially began.
Chang An hastily slept for a few hours, and was woken up by the sound of firecrackers that shook the sky, and refused to open his eyes in a daze, feeling that someone was squirming around him.
"Hmm..."Chang An snorted unconsciously, pushed it, and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's still early, let's sleep a little longer...", a hoarse voice came from his ears.
Chang An didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, so he pulled the quilt up, trying to cover his head to block some of the sound of firecrackers, but he didn't pull anything after a few tugging, but was held by Zhou Wei.
"What are you doing?"
She was not very angry when she got up, she shook it off, but she didn't shake it off, Zhou Wei simply grabbed her two arms and pressed them on the pillow.
"Don't move...", and then turned over.
Chang An was forced to open her eyes, and the first thing that came into sight in her chaotic consciousness was Zhou Wei's slightly red and lustful eyes, she had a sigh in her mind, and her eyes moved to herself, only to see that the pajamas had been unbuttoned several times at some point.
"Morning!" Zhou Xuan hung above him, and after a midnight rest, he had recovered his exhaustion, and now he smiled narrowly.
"You ......" Chang An was just about to speak, the kiss fell and blocked all the words behind her, and his hand was not idle, and he tore off the remaining buttons with three strokes and five divisions.
After a deep kiss, he couldn't stand it, and Chang An thought of pushing someone.
"Hey, you didn't mean noon...... ...... flight?"
"Well, but there's still time. ”
Behind is the gradual sound of trembling, slightly frightened red surge, clouds and rain endlessly.
After Zhou Yi fell back to the bed satisfied, he was not in a hurry to speak, and he hugged the person after Chang An had even out his breath.
"What's your plan for today?" Zhou asked.
Chang An was still staring at the ceiling with his back up, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he exhaled, and his consciousness slowly returned.
Promised Xiaozhi to take her to see her father. ”
"See her dad?"
"Well, go to the cemetery. ”
Taking a child to the cemetery to see his father at the beginning of the new year is a very heavy topic in itself.
Zhou decided not to continue, and instead said, "The adoption process of the child may not be done until I return from the United States." ”
Chang An paused, she was also thinking about this matter these days, and originally wanted to wait for him to take some time to talk, but now that he was talking, it was still early, Chang An turned around and asked him face to face: "Do you really want to be Xiaozhi's father?"
Zhou Wei's expression froze, "Why do you suddenly ask that?"
"Not suddenly, I think... Maybe that's a little unfair to you. ”
Zhou Wei frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Adopting a child is not a trivial matter, and once we bring her back, we have to be responsible for her later. ”
"You think I can't take that responsibility?"
"No, you didn't understand what I meant. ”
Zhou Wei was a little anxious, and pressed his fingers on her shoulder, "What do you want to express?"
"I mean to say..."Chang An lowered his eyes and sighed, "Xiaozhi's background may be a little sensitive, her father is fine, but her mother... Her mother had been taking drugs for a long time before her death, and finally died in a drug rehabilitation hospital. ”
Chang An knows how sensitive public opinion is to the word "poison".
After hearing this, Zhou Wei moved up along her shoulder and gently pinched her cheek, "You think it's unfair to me for this?"
Chang An: "Well, after all, you don't have to accept this child because of me. ”
Zhou Wei: "Who told you I was forced?"
Chang An: "......"
Zhou Wei: "I wasn't forced, not because of sympathy, let alone out of any gratitude!"
Chang An: "Then what are you trying to do?"
"What am I trying to do?" Zhou Wei hissed in his mouth, propped up half of his body sideways and looked at Chang An, "Let me tell you this, I admit that if it weren't for your insistence, I wouldn't suddenly claim a child, but I know that this child is very important to you, she may represent your experience in the past three years, since I can accept what happened to you in the past three years, I can naturally accept this child, as for whether it will have any impact in the future, that is later." ”
He didn't over-whitewash, he just expressed his position very positively.
The implication is that he can accept the returning Chang An, and he must also accept everything she brought back from the outside, including the trauma on her body, the negative effects that may arise in the future, gossip, and even this child.
"Of course, I haven't been in contact with my child before, so I may not be able to get along with her at first, but I will do my best. ”
Speaking of this, Chang An already knew it in his heart.
"But..."
"What else?"
"I'm afraid it's hard for Mom to accept it. ”
This is a problem, but Zhou Wei seems to have an arrangement, "You don't have to worry about this, I will talk to her separately." ”
In any case, if she wants to adopt that child, he will definitely overcome all difficulties and differences.
A big stone in Chang An's heart fell to the ground in an instant, and he was in a good mood, and raised his arm to wrap around Zhou Wei's neck, "I believe you will be a good father in the future." ”
At that time, both of them were not wearing clothes, only covered with a quilt, and most of Chang'an's white shoulders were exposed.
Zhou's eyes dimmed.
"It's still unknown if I can be a good father, but at least I'll have to fight hard for that 5% chance!"
He suddenly lifted the quilt on his head, bullied him, and pasted it again......
Chang An didn't expect that the first morning of the new year would be spent like this.
This time it was longer, and in the latter part she felt as if her soul was out of her body, it was useless to beg for mercy, and she had no strength to respond, and something seemed to be out of control in her body.
I don't know how long it took...
"It's not early, don't get up yet?" Zhou Wei patted Chang An's face, the residual warmth on her face had not dissipated, and the tears that had been forced out because of the intensity just now had wet her eyelashes.
Chang An opened his eyes and looked at it, Zhou Wei had already taken a shower, changed into a shirt, and was tying the buttons on it.
He is fast enough to change, he is still a fierce jackal, and after a while, he is already like a human dog again.
I was worried that I would be wronged, but I always felt that he flew half the world overnight and came back just to ask for something in bed.
Chang An suddenly had an inner drama in his stomach, pulled the quilt and covered himself again.
Zhou Wei is defenseless, what's going on?
"Hey. ”
"Don't shoot me..."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't slap me!" a muffled voice came from the quilt.
Zhou Wei bent down, reached into the quilt and touched his waist and pinched it again.
"Hey, do you want to come with me to the United States?"
"Don't go!"
"You've applied for a U.S. visa before, and I'll ask someone here to get it in two days. ”
"Don't go!" Chang An drilled his head out again, staring at Zhou Wei with red eyes, "I'm still waiting for you at home, you can do your own business over there." ”
Zhou Wei was on a flight at about 11 o'clock at noon, because I was overwhelmed in the morning, and I didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
Because of the temporary return, the company did not arrange it.
During the Spring Festival, Xiao Zhao also returned to his hometown for the New Year, and he didn't even have a driver on call, so Zhou Wei finally took a taxi.
Chang An sent him to the door of the villa, the car shouted by the system had arrived, and the two simply said goodbye.
After the people left, Chang An went back to the house to clean up, as long as the bedroom and mattress were tossed a little miserable.
Seeing that it was still early, she removed the sheets and quilt covers and threw them in the washing machine to wash them, and waited for them to be dried and folded.
After being so busy, it was noon, Chang An bought food and took it to the hospital, fed Xiaozhi after eating, and simply ate some of it himself, and then cleaned up and took Xiaozhi out.
Ding Shouquan died in Grandma Chen's rental house, and after his death, Wu Feng contacted his family, his parents were long gone, but there were still some relatives, but no one came over to handle Ding Shouquan's funeral after waiting for two days.
In the end, Grandma Chen took some money out and moved the person to the funeral home first.
Wu Feng urged a few more phone calls, and about a week later, someone finally came to Jiao Chun's side, saying that it was Ding Shouquan's cousin, and with a little money from relatives at home, he finally sparked people, and the remaining money was definitely not enough to buy a cemetery, so he could only find a cheap public cemetery and rent a small grid for ashes in it.
There was no funeral, no coffin, and no one even changed him into a new outfit when there was a spark.
These are all things that Grandma Chen said to Chang An later, but Chang An can also imagine what a bleak and sad scene it should be.
Chang'an has been to the cemetery twice, the first time was when she just came back from the hospital, and when she returned, she learned that Ding Shouquan had died, and the next day she asked Wu Feng for a specific address to come and see.
The second time was Ding Shouquan's death day last year, when she had already found Xiao Zhi in Sunflower, and she brought Xiao Zhi with her, so this time was the third time.
Chang An was afraid that it would be difficult to take a taxi in the countryside, so he booked a car online in advance.
The car drove for more than an hour, there was a large section of the gravel road in the countryside, navigation did not work, and finally the driver went down to ask a few villagers to find out where it was.
Arrived at the gate of the cemetery, the driver waited in the car, Chang An pushed the cart and took Xiaozhi in, the door was very shabby, and a stone tablet was erected, which was engraved with the words "Xiaoci Hall", and went into rows and rows of walls, and the wall was divided into countless grids, each of which could barely hold an urn.
This form of cemetery is actually a product of illegal cemeteries in rural areas.
In the past, when people died in the countryside, they directly found a vacant place to bury the ashes or coffins, and set up a grave on it.
The rent of dozens of yuan a month is cheap, and rural people can afford it.
Chang An pushed Xiao Zhi to turn inside, she vaguely remembered the approximate location, but there were dozens of rows of the same wall, how could she tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.
"I remember that there is an old man guarding the door when I come back, Xiaozhi, don't worry, I'll look for it again!"
At this time, except for a few dying pines and cypresses, there is not even a ghost shadow in the cemetery, let alone ask someone.
Chang An pushed Xiao Zhi and was stunned for more than ten minutes before he found Ding Shouquan's lattice.
It's not hard to find, because there is not even a spirit card in the grid, and there is only one urn.
"Found it, that's it!"
Xiao Zhi also clapped his hands and shouted, "Dad, Dad's box." ”
Chang An put the tribute fruit on the ground, there was no incense burner, she lit a cigarette and barely made do, looked up and saw the urn inside, a boxy box, with a photo on it, a two-inch ID photo, in which the man had a flat head, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people a sense of honesty and reliability.
This should be a photo of Ding when he was young.
Chang An patted Xiao Zhi on the cart: "Hey, your dad should have been a handsome guy when he was young!"
Xiao Zhi immediately answered proudly: "Yes, I know, I know that my dad is very handsome!"
Six-year-old children don't understand it, and if they don't understand, they should understand something, but Chang An rarely sees a little bit of despair or depression in her.
This is also where Chang An feels gratified.
She patted Xiao Zhi's head again and turned to the urn.
"Brother Quan, it's the New Year, I'll take Xiaozhi to see you. ”
"Some time ago, Xiaozhi had a serious illness, and she was clamoring to see you, but fortunately, you were not willful and didn't take her away, and now it's been a month since the operation was completed, and she has recovered almost, and the doctor said that as long as you have regular checkups, there is no big problem...... Well, Xiao Zhi is great, really great, I didn't say a word after doing such a major operation anesthetic, Xiao Zhi, don't you say?"
She spoke into the urn and touched Xiaozhi's head.
Xiao Zhi nodded, "Well, Dad, I'm really brave this time, do you want to praise me?"
But the only thing that answered her was the wind.
Chang An swallowed the sourness in his throat, bent down and pinched Xiao Zhi's face, "Your father heard it, he will tell you in a dream." ”
"Really?"
"Well, but if you have anything to say, you can tell him now. ”
"But what if I have a lot to say to my father?"
"Then pick the few things you want to talk about the most. ”
The little guy rolled his dark eyes and thought for a while, "Okay, Dad, let me tell you, I have a mother, it is An An's mother, she promised to be my real mother, and I will be a child with a mother in the future...... And the uncle you sent to treat me, my mother said he would be my new father in the future, well, even though he looked a little fierce... Dad, isn't he really fierce?"
Chang An: "......"
Xiao Zhi: "But it doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of him, and he is quite good-looking, my mother seems to like him very much, and Xiao Zhi has to like the things that my mother likes, right?"
Chang An couldn't stand it anymore, "Xiao Zhi!"
"I'm not done yet. ”
Chang An lowered his forehead and buttoned the hat of her down jacket on top of her head, "Simple, I think your father probably doesn't want to hear you say so many things." ”
"Oh!"
