Chapter 290: Buy cigarettes
The two clerks began to give full play to their professional skills, first introducing the advantages of their brand, how comfortable the bed is, how reasonable the design is, how environmentally friendly the board is, and then asking Chang'an how old the child is, whether he is just pregnant or has been born...
At that time, Chang An was standing with his back to Zhou Wei, so he couldn't see any expression on her face, only saw two clerks taking turns to attack.
Probably there are not many people who buy this kind of high-end crib, and it is rare to see an interested customer come to the door, so he naturally refuses to let go, but the clerk has spent a lot of words, Chang An just stood there without any movement, did not go in, but did not leave, and his eyes quietly stayed on the turning crib bell.
The bedbell turned and turned, with the sound of soft music, hypnotizing and dreaming.
After half a salary, she turned to the side slightly, "I'm sorry, I don't buy it, I'll take a look at ......"
Her voice was soft and calm, mixed with the music of the bedbell, without any abruptness.
The two clerks looked at each other, and the smile that was quite enthusiastic in the previous second was instantly gone.
Zhou Wei hurriedly walked over.
"Chang'an ........."
She turned around when she heard the movement, and a smile bloomed on her face, which made Zhou Duoduo feel sour.
"Ran out of money?"
"It's paid. He carried two paper bags and took Chang An's hand, "Let's go, go upstairs to eat." β
He took Chang An out of the store, walked a few steps, the music behind him gradually subsided, Zhou Wei looked back and looked again, the two clerks were still standing at the door, the mall was still full of people, and the lights were brilliant.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
There's a food court upstairs in the mall, but it's mostly light meals.
Fortunately, Chang An's mouth is not so tight now, and he can accept it.
Zhou Wei consulted her opinion, and finally chose a small shop that sells Japanese ramen, there are no customers during this time period, the noodles are quickly served, taste, the taste is average, but it is better to be hot, and it will be more comfortable to eat in the stomach.
Zhou Wei saw Chang An burying his head in his mouth and stuffing noodles into his mouth, he felt a little more at ease and began to eat.
He was actually hungry for a long time, he ate with the city leaders at noon, he didn't eat anything the whole time, he was busy for half a day in the afternoon, and rushed to the hospital before getting off work.
A bowl of noodles was quickly eaten, but when I looked up, I saw Chang An picking noodles with chopsticks in a daze.
"What's wrong, unappetizing?"
Chang An returned to his senses, "No." She immediately put her head down and began to eat again.
Zhou Wei sighed slightly in his heart and put down his chopsticks.
"If you don't want to eat, I'll give you something else?"
"No, it's good..."
She ate two more bites in a row, not knowing whether she wanted to prove that the noodles tasted good or that her appetite was good, but she accidentally swallowed too much, chewed hard and swallowed, and choked when she looked at it.
Zhou Wei handed her water, "Don't be in such a hurry." β
She mumbled in her mouth, took a few more bites, and drank a small half bowl of soup.
Zhou Wei knew that she was pushing herself, so he reached over and pinched her wrist.
"Chang'an..."
The man who was trying to eat noodles looked up, and his mouth was oily, "Huh, what's wrong?"
Zhou Yan wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that he still didn't say it, so he just rubbed her arm lightly with his fingertips, and rubbed a small bone on the side of his wrist to make Chang An a little uncomfortable.
She withdrew her hand.
Zhou Wei laughed, "If you can't eat it, don't eat it, don't force yourself." Then he handed a tissue and got up to carry his coat.
"Let's go, I'll buy you cigarettes. β
The two of them went out of the mall, and the pedestrians on the road were still weaving, the night was deeper, and the wind was cooler, but probably because they had just eaten half a bowl of hot noodles, Chang An didn't feel how cold it was, but Zhou Wei still wrapped his coat around her.
"I remember there seems to be a convenience store across the street from the hospital, go check it out over there!"
He grabbed Chang'an and crossed the street, walked a few hundred meters, and sure enough, he found a convenience store and asked the clerk to buy cigarettes.
Chang An wanted double happiness, Zhou Wei remained silent, and knocked his fingers on the counter, "Take a bag of Yellow Crane Tower, and then take a bag of canyon love!"
The clerk smoked two boxes of cigarettes on the counter, and Zhou Wei paid for it and gave one of the white boxes to Chang An.
Chang An took a look, the canyon is a female cigarette under the Yellow Crane Tower, a thin popping bead model, no miscellaneous gas, no irritation, low focus and low harm, but the taste is also very light.
She wanted to refuse and change to a pack, but in the end she endured it.
The two walked out of the convenience store, there was no way to smoke in the hospital, and it was cold outside, Chang An ordered one and smoked slowly, shrinking his neck.
Zhou Wei asked, "Go to the car?"
"Hmm. β
The car stopped at another door, went around most of the hospital to get into the car, and the cigarette in Chang An's hand was almost finished.
Zhou started the car, turned on the heating, and then there was a long silence.
Chang An leaned back in his chair and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.
I was in the hysteria at the door of the intensive care unit just now, and I let my emotions flood in front of the row of cribs in the mall, but now that a cigarette goes down and a cold wind blows back, my mood has obviously calmed down a lot.
She shouldn't be messing around, let alone being sexual, after so many years, some things can't be taken out so casually even if they are rotten into a hole in their hearts.
Chang An knew in her heart that she could bear Zhou Wei's abandonment, but she couldn't bear his sympathy, let alone the guilt he felt because of his sympathy.
She can still control the drug addiction, and she can still try to make herself better over time, but she can't do anything about the child, and she is completely in a passive situation.
"I'm sorry, I had a gaffe in the hospital just now. Chang An pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand.
Zhou Wei saw that her face was dark, and responded, "Do you have something to say?"
"What?"
"You want to talk to me about the kids?"
Chang settled for a moment, surprised that he could actually guess, but after thinking about it, in fact, he seemed to know himself very well all along.
Since this is the case, there is no need to go around the rounds, not to mention that the two of them can't get around the matter of the child at all, and they will have to face it sooner or later.
Chang An unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and sat up slightly straight in his chair.
Zhou Wei felt that every time she was serious about talking about something, her back would be very straight, and after so many years, the habit was still exactly the same.
"I do want to talk to you about the kids. β
"Hmm. Zhou Wei was still a little uncomfortable with the too dim light in the car, and he couldn't see Chang An's expression clearly for a while, so he only nodded, "Yes, you say." β
"When I escaped from the boat, I fell into the water, I suffered from the cold, and I had a heavy bleeding during the miscarriage, and the follow-up may not have been dealt with, and the doctor said that it was difficult for me to get pregnant again. She was silent for a moment, and then spoke, in a very calm tone.
Zhou Wei froze, "You've already told me about this." β
"I said that, but have you seriously thought about it?"
"Consider what?"
"Consider that if you really want to go with me, then maybe we won't have any children in this life. β
Zhou Wei's breathing tightened, but his expression was still calm, and he even smiled, "I remember that the doctor also said this three years ago, saying that it is difficult for you to have children, but in the end, you are still pregnant?"
"Three years ago, it was lucky, but now it's different. β
"What's the difference, you went to the hospital system to check it out?"
"Yes!"
"When?"
"After I came out of the drug rehabilitation hospital, I had a very comprehensive gynecological examination, and the doctor said that my chances of pregnancy were very small. β
"How small is small?"
"Five percent, not even five percent!"
He asked Chang An and replied, the two of them were very calm throughout the whole process, and they didn't even have any waves in their tone, as if they were talking about a very ordinary thing.
But this week, he was stunned, and then suddenly lowered his head and smiled, "Less than five percent, then this probability is a bit small." β
"So..."
"But that doesn't mean there is no chance at all, right?" he looked up and asked Chang An.
Chang An was a little dazed by what he said coldly, but he quickly sobered up, "Unless there is a miracle!"
"Do you think I don't have a 5 percent chance of winning?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Do you know what the odds are for winning in the lotto?"
Chang An frowned, "I don't know." β
"One in two hundred and forty-two thousand. β
ββ¦β¦β
"So isn't your 5 percent probability higher than that?"
ββ¦β¦β
Chang An seemed to be surrounded by him all of a sudden, she closed her eyes and leaned back, "You wait, let me take care of it!"
Zhou Wei smiled.
Chang An's mouth suddenly hissed, "I'm talking to you about pregnancy, not buying lottery tickets, and most people don't win the lottery after buying lottery tickets for a lifetime, you are fundamentally different." β
"I know. Zhou Wei was unhurried, "I didn't say I wanted to buy a lottery ticket, you just said it, it's nothing more than waiting for a miracle, what about me..."
He paused, looked at himself and smiled, "I have always felt that I am very lucky, I basically didn't have to study hard when I was a child, and it was easy to pass the first-class architect exam after graduation, and I even picked my wife with a photo and found the best one." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Of course, there is also the miracle you said, it is already a miracle that you can sit here and talk to me, since God can give me the first one, there will be a second, I believe I can win that five percent probability, so you really don't have to care about this. β
He said these words mockingly, but his eyes looked at Chang An fixedly.
Chang An was dumbfounded at first, then helpless to cry and laugh, and finally moved by the afterthought, and the sourness twisted into a heat wave, constantly surging up from his chest.
"You're reallyβ" She gasped and couldn't speak, and finally had to cover her mouth with her palms, and the eyes that were exposed were already shining with tears.
Zhou Yan smiled and pulled her wrist.
She shrank back, mainly because she didn't want to cry anymore.
Since coming back, I have to cry in front of him almost every day, and Chang An has lost himself a little by crying.
Obviously, he has carried three years of turbulent waves alone, thinking that he has cultivated an impregnable body, but it turns out that he only needs a little look, a word, and all of it is zero.
Chang An almost stuck her back on the car door in the end, she hugged her face and calmed down for a while, holding back her tears.
In fact, it's not that I don't believe in miracles, it's just that no one can give a quasi-letter.
Straight to the point......
"Zhou Xian, you don't need to comfort me, really, I know my own situation, maybe I can quit taking drugs, and you can accept me like this, but the child is different, this is not only a matter between the two of us, but also involves offspring and family background, if you really can't have a child, do you think your parents can pass that level?"
Chang An can still clearly remember what Liu Shulan looked like when she "forced" her to have a gynecological examination, so she was very sober.
"And you have three generations of single transmission, if you really don't have children in the future, I can't face it from my grandfather alone. β
Zhou Wei listened to her quietly and took a deep breath.
"So, what do you want me to do?"
"I ......"
"I hope I will recognize the facts as soon as possible, find a new woman, and give birth to seventeen or eighteen with her to inherit the Zhou family, so that you will be happy?"
ββ¦β¦β
Chang An made eye contact with him for a while, and quickly lowered his head, muttering softly: "If you want to do this, I can accept it." β
"What else can you accept?"
"I ......"
"Accept me to divorce you and marry again?"
"Yes!"
"Don't you have half a day of resentment and unwillingness?"
Chang An softened, "It's definitely unrealistic to say nothing, but I can't be too selfish." β
"You're not selfish like that?"
"No, but at least ......"
"At least I have to have a baby, don't I?"
"Hmm. β
She still dared to respond.
Zhou Xun knocked on the steering wheel with his tooth socket, and when he turned around again, his eyes were already terrifying.
"Do you think I can't find a woman in the past three years or can't have children?"
ββ¦β¦β
"If I really wanted to pass on the lineage, I wouldn't have you a few years earlier, and it wouldn't be your turn to talk to me about this issue!"
Zhou Wei was obviously angry, and Chang An was even a little afraid to look at him, but after thinking about it, "Can you be reasonable?" I was telling him about it very rationally!"
"I'm not emotional!"
"Then you say, there is no probability of five percent, is the miracle so easy? If you have no children, the first one on my mother's side can't explain, and after a long time, maybe you will also want to have a child, rather than regret it at that time, it is better to make it clear now, I will not blame you!"
"Then I should really thank you for being so reasonable, but believe it or not, as long as I throw you here today, you can cry for me until dawn. β
"......" Chang An lowered his head, held back his sourness and said, "How is it possible!"
"I know you too well, you are a hero in your mouth, but you are actually scared to death in your heart!"
"I..."
"Chang An!" Zhou Wei's voice suddenly softened, and he reached over and grabbed Chang An's hand, interlocking his fingers one by one.
He let out a long, sad sigh.
"I know what you're worried about, and I know that you may have to face some whispers from the outside world and even my mother later, but the big storm in front of you has passed, and this can't be passed? As for the issue of children, I haven't thought about it, I admit that I do hope that you can give me a child, but this matter depends on fate, if we can give birth, we will give birth, if we can be surrogacy, we will be surrogacy, if you don't want to suffer this hardship, it's okay, and Xiaozhi..."
"Xiaozhi is not very old, I think the little girl is smart and sensible, and she looks good, and Ding Shouquan is also your life-saving benefactor, I should repay him, so I went through an adoption procedure and asked her to be surnamed Zhou Yecheng. β
ββ¦β¦ But there is one thing, you are not allowed to divorce me again for the sake of the children, I will do it for you once until you are satisfied!"
Zhou Wei was half-coaxed and half-intimidating, like a gentle and irascible bastard.
Chang An was told that tears were pouring down.
She felt that she might not have any chance of winning in his hands, she couldn't scold but beat, not to mention that she was really willing to leave him.
"You're pure-hearted, aren't you?"
ββ¦β¦ Pure heart to say these things to make me uncomfortable!"
Chang An buried his head and sobbed, this is crying again, crying so that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys tremble.
He reached out and scooped the person into his arms, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt to wipe her tears, thinking that this woman is really a contradiction, side A is calm and strong, and side B can cry to you if a word is not right.
Zhou Wei put his arm around someone with one hand and wiped her tears with the other.
"I'll be thirty-six in the New Year, how many do you think I still have?
In fact, the best love is not evenly matched, not equal, but a mixture of soft and hard.
You are willing to make sacrifices for him, and he is willing to accept your misery.
The road of life is very long, the reality is desolate, and life is not easy, but if you take love as your companion and go hand in hand, it may not be as difficult as you imagined.
Chang An was lying in Zhou Wei's arms and gradually stopped crying, and then thought about it, it was really not particularly desperate, at least at some moments, she had a lover by her side who was willing to coax her to hug her and help her wipe her tears.
At last she came out of his arms, gasped for a while, and then said, "Okay, I don't have to mention the child's business, but you don't have to change your work plan for me." β
Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment, this turn was a little sharp.
"What work plan?"
