The unusually simple apprenticeship ceremony was completed, and Wu Daguang and his sister and brother had some food, and then the table was dispersed.

At nine o'clock, Wu Daguang went to bed early and rushed to meet with Zhou Gong.

Not long after falling asleep, the door was slammed open from the outside, so frightened that Wu Daguang bounced up from the bed, and in the darkness, a small shadow stood at the door, his body trembled, accompanied by sobbing.

There is only one child in the family, and the only one who can be so bold is the apricot blossom.

"Xinghua, what's wrong with you?" Wu Daguang asked the little figure at the door.

Xinghua choked: "Daddy, Xinghua has something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" Wu Daguang got off the bed and walked to the door to turn on the light. I saw Xinghua wiping the tears on her face with her sleeves, crying straight out, and still pressing and pumping.

"Daddy, is Sister Manli going to be a family with that police uncle?" asked Xinghua.

"That's right. ”

"Isn't that a family with Xinghua? When they get married, they will go to their own house. ”

Wu Daguang looked at Xinghua's ghostly appearance, probably reluctant Xu Manli, squatted down, and stroked Xinghua's head: "Xinghua will miss Sister Manli in the future, you can go to see Sister Manli at any time, and you can go to Sister Manli's house on Saturdays and Sundays." ”

Xinghua confirmed Zhang Erlai's words here with her father, and became more and more sad, grabbing the corner of Wu Daguang's clothes, pitiful: "I don't, I don't want Sister Manli and Uncle Police to become a family, I want Sister Manli and Xinghua to become a family with Daddy, is it okay for Daddy and Sister Manli to get married, Xinghua wants to be a family with Sister Manli." ”

"Xinghua is good, people will get married when they grow up, and it is her freedom to marry who Sister Manli wants to marry, and we can't control it. Faced with this kind of problem, Wu Daguang really doesn't know how to persuade.

Xinghua saw that she couldn't change Wu Daguang's mind, so she turned around and ran out and entered her room.

Xu Manli was folding clothes in the house, and was startled by the way Xinghua entered the door.

"Sister Manli, will you marry Daddy?" shouted Xinghua.

Xu Manli was stunned by Xinghua's sudden question, and saw Wu Daguang standing at the door of her house through Xinghua, and Wu Daguang had an apologetic expression on his face. A question sprouted in her heart, did Xinghua say this sentence herself, or did Wu Daguang ask Xinghua to say it? She didn't dare to answer.

Because of the noisy Xinghua, three or five people were provoked to come up to see the excitement, and Zhang Erlai was inside, adhering to the temperament of not thinking big of a big deal to watch the excitement, and poured oil on the fire: "Xinghua, what's wrong with you, and you are crying into a little flower cat." ”

Zhang Erlai's words were undoubtedly the catalyst, and the apricot blossoms exploded in an instant, and the cry was even louder.

Xinghua seems to have taken crying as her weapon, as long as she cries, her father will be soft.

"Xinghua, don't make trouble, hurry up and go to bed, and go to school tomorrow." Wu Daguang said dryly, he had been busy for a day, and the things in the factory had made him anxious, and now even Xinghua began to make trouble ignorantly, Wu Daguang had a feeling of exhaustion.

Xinghua sat on the ground with her buttocks, kicking her feet indiscriminately: "I don't, I don't, I want Sister Manli to marry Daddy." ”

Xu Manli sighed in her heart, she still thought too much about herself, and comforted Xinghua: "Xinghua don't make trouble, okay." ”

Xinghua looked at Xu Manli with tears in her eyes: "Sister Manli, you said, you said that if you marry your father, Xinghua will not make trouble." ”

Xu Manli didn't know how to answer.

The atmosphere was very embarrassing, and the people who came up to see the excitement were waiting for Wu Daguang's attitude.

Wu Daguang put away his pampering posture and asked Xinghua very seriously: "Xinghua, who doesn't sleep when you fall to the ground?"

"Don't sleep. Xinghua didn't even think about blurting it out.

Wu Daguang walked into Xinghua's room quickly, pulled out Xinghua, and threw her in the center of the living room.

"If you want to cry, cry, be quiet, and don't make others rest. Wu Daguang said angrily, and then solemnly ordered Xu Manli: "Go to sleep, don't worry about her." The person who looked at the lively face: "What's so nice about a child crying." ”

After finishing speaking, regardless of the reaction of others, he entered the house first.

Seeing the lively people going downstairs boringly, Xu Manli knew that this was his way of educating children, and Wu Daguang's serious tone just now was a little scary, she wanted to carry Xinghua back to the house, but she didn't dare, she chose to give Xinghua a helpless look, entered the house, and closed the door.

Xinghua, who was standing in the living room, saw that everyone was gone, sat on the ground, and cried loudly, wanting to use her cry to attract the attention of adults again.

In the end, no one came out to look at her, and even Zhang Erlai, who liked to make trouble the most, hid from her.

Crying and crying and crying tired, Xinghua stopped crying, got up from the ground with a flat mouth, and looked at Daddy's door, the lights had been turned off inside, and they all started snoring.

Xinghua moved small steps, walked to her father's door, pushed with both hands, and Wu Daguang, who had never locked it, locked the door from the inside.

"Daddy?" called Xinghua quietly.

The only thing that answered her was the sound of snoring.

"Daddy, wake up, Xinghua knows it's wrong. Xinghua said pitifully at the door.

There was only snoring inside the door.

shouted a few times, got a response, Xinghua gave up, pitifully walked to the door of his and Manli's sister's room, she wanted to call Manli's sister, her little hand was on the door, the door was easily pushed open, Xu Manli was sitting on the bed and looking at her.

"Sister Manly. At this time, Xinghua didn't have the loud voice just now, and her voice was as small as a mosquito.

"Is it cold?" asked Xu Manli.

Xinghua tugged at the corners of her mouth, and wanted to cry, but finally held it back, and a word came out of her mouth: "Cold." ”

"What are you doing out there, come in. ”

Xu Manli treated Xinghua like a relative, came out of the warm quilt by herself, helped Xinghua take off her clothes and shoes, and ran downstairs to pour a bottle of hot water for Xinghua to hold.

Xinghua felt unprecedented maternal love in Xu Manli, when Xu Manli approached her life, silently, when she was leaving, she took away all the dependence of Xinghua.

Xu Manli thought that if she used apricot blossoms to trap Wu Daguang, it would not be completely impossible between her and Wu Daguang. But reason told her that she couldn't, using Xinghua, even if they were reluctantly together in the end, Wu Daguang's opinion of her would change, and it was very likely that she would become an enemy in the future, she couldn't bear the consequences of becoming an enemy with Wu Daguang, Wu Daguang helped her so much, and she couldn't repay him in this life.

She chose to stand in another angle and look at him happy.

Life is still going on, as long as you can see the sun tomorrow again, people have to work hard to enrich their lives, Wu Daguang got up very early, deliberately went to the kitchen to make a breakfast for Xinghua, he didn't have time to wait for Xinghua to wake up and eat, explained to Zhang Erlai, he went to the morning to get busy, today is the day of the road, large orders to go.
