Chapter 123: The frowning little one
This is the closest county seat to the city, and Shen Ruoqi asked people all the way and finally found the address given by Shen Lisong.
It is an independent house, so to speak, a villa, but the level of construction and design seems amateurish. The decoration is also very simple, with three independent floors and a small courtyard at the entrance.
The iron door was closed, and Shen Ruoqi stood at the door for a long time and didn't dare to walk over. Breathing was stagnant, as if something had choked the throat.
When Shen Zhiling was still in her belly, she fantasized about his appearance countless times, and dreamed of his birth countless times. She didn't expect what it would be like to see him again, because she thought she would never meet him again in her life.
God is so fond of jokes, her heart pounds in her chest, what face should she see her child?
When the child sees that she doesn't know her, will he be scared or will he cry? Will he ...... Unwilling to go with her? This is what Shen Ruoqi is most afraid of now.
Creak...... There was a shrill sound of steel grinding, and the closed iron door slowly opened, and an old man with gray hair walked out.
Seeing Shen Ruoqi smiling slightly, he walked directly towards her.
"Miss Shen? Miss Shen is really looking more and more like your mother. The old man's words made Shen Ruoqi a little surprised, he knew her and her mother?
Therefore, Shen Lisong's entrustment of the child to this family so reassuringly was well thought out, and this family must be inextricably linked with their Shen family.
"Who are you?" Shen Ruoqi searched in her memory, and she had never seen this person in her impression.
"I'm afraid Miss won't recognize me anymore. That's right, when my young lady was only three years old, I retired and returned to this hometown, built such a house by myself, and enjoyed my old age in advance. He smiled and patted his leg, Shen Ruoqi didn't notice just now, his leg seemed to have a problem.
His name is Qiu Fu, and he is the old housekeeper of the Chen family. Later, because of an accident that injured his leg and became disabled, Shen Ruoqi's grandfather gave him a pension and let him go back to his hometown to enjoy his old age.
Because he is the old man of the Chen family, he does things safely, and the key is to treat the child well when he misses the old love, so Shen Lisong thought about it and finally sent the child here to raise it.
"Miss don't worry, the child is fine and healthy. Miss must be full of resentment when she knows the truth, but is she willing to listen to me?"
Qiu Fu is getting older, how dare Shen Ruoqi refute: "Grandpa, you said." ”
Qiu Fu is a member of the Chen family, and it stands to reason that his heart should be towards Shen Ruoqi. Why hasn't he told Shen Ruoqi the truth in the past two years?
Shen Ruoqi was puzzled by this question in his heart, but he was relieved after an instant.
First, she has been abroad since she gave birth, and Qiu Fu can't contact her at all. Second, Qiu Fu had already left the Chen family and returned to her hometown in the county seat when she was three years old, so if Shen Lisong hadn't called him to tell him that Shen Ruoqi had rushed back, otherwise he wouldn't have recognized the person hovering at his door as Shen Ruoqi.
Third, it is what Qiu Fu wants to say to her now. Although he couldn't fully agree with Shen Lisong's approach, Shen Lisong had always told Qiu Fu about Shen Ruoqi's recent situation, and heard that she had found a very good boyfriend and later got married.
So after Qiu Fu learned that Shen Ruoqi had returned to China, she was already with Li Yunze. Therefore, Qiu Fu was also persuaded by Shen Lisong, if this child suddenly appeared, I am afraid it would affect the relationship between Shen Ruoqi and Li Yunze.
"Nothing will be hidden forever, but now ......" Qiu Fu was still not sure, after all, he had never met Li Yunze, and he didn't know what kind of person he was.
Nowadays, people always like to say that to love someone is to love everything she has. But how many people can really do it?
"Uncle Khoo, I can't remain indifferent to his existence. Even if it costs me, I'm willing to bear it. I don't want to be separated from him again, I don't want him to hate me as a mother in the future. ”
Even if she had never hugged him, the feeling of blood connection made her irresistible. This is a mother's nature, and being a mother is strong, and she doesn't want her children to be wronged.
Qiu Fu nodded, he saw the firmness in Shen Ruoqi's eyes, it was déjà vu. Once upon a time, he also saw it in Chen Qiyu's eyes.
The child was as stubborn as her mother.
"Miss come in with me!" Qiu Fu led the way in front, and his children were all in the living room. Shen Ruoqi said hello to them, and Qiu Fu continued to take her up to the second floor.
On the second floor, a room facing the sun. The door was closed, Qiu Fu lightly pushed the door open, and whispered to Shen Ruoqi: "The child is taking a nap, you can go in and see it yourself!"
Qiu Fu left the second floor for their mother and son, and Shen Ruoqi covered his mouth for fear that he would accidentally cry. After standing in the doorway for a short while, she finally mustered up the courage to walk on tiptoe.
On the crib, Shen Zhiling spread her hands around her ears, and she slept soundly with her well-behaved appearance.
This is her child...... Shen Ruoqi was fascinated, this kid ...... Shen Ruoqi chuckled.
This child is still frowning when he is asleep, what can this little person worry about? Shen Ruoqi unconsciously wanted to reach over his hand to smooth his brows, his fingers just touched his eyebrows, the little guy muttered, and Shen Ruoqi quickly withdrew his hand in fright.
Are you about to wake up? Shen Ruoqi looked at him quietly by the bed, for a minute, two minutes...... Five minutes passed, and he just moved and was quiet again.
Shen Ruoqi looked at him with his side face on the back of his hand, and felt so happy when he looked at him quietly, this is all the thoughts of a mother when she looks at her child.
Well...... The little guy frowned again, how could this look so familiar......? It turned out to be a bit like Li Yunze! Shen Ruoqi was amused by his serious appearance again.
The frowning appearance looks like Li Yunze, why does she look at the silhouette of this child more and more like Li Yunze?
If Li Yunze saw him, would he like him? Would he accept him? Shen Ruoqi was at a loss in his heart, and suddenly became a little depressed.
The little guy closed his eyes and whined twice, and the little feet didn't honestly lift the blanket. As soon as he opened his eyes, he began to cry, which frightened Shen Ruoqi a little helpless.
Panic was a matter of moments, and Shen Ruoqi quickly calmed himself down. When she was pregnant, she went to some classes about taking care of babies.
It's just that so much time has passed in a blink of an eye, and the original proficiency is now rusty.
Shen Ruoqi's posture of holding the child was a little stiff, Shen Zhiling was now at the age of babbling, it was the time to recognize people, and he cried even more when he saw Shen Ruoqi's strangeness.
"Miss Shen, I'll coax him!" Hearing the cry, Qiu Fu's daughter ran up. It has always been Qiu Fu's daughter who has been taking care of Shen Zhiling, and as soon as she came, Shen Zhiling stretched out her hands to her.
Such a scene made Shen Ruoqi, her biological mother, really sad and unstoppable. I could only watch my son sobbing in someone else's arms, gradually calming down in someone else's arms, and finally giggling.
Fortunately, it's not too late, if he is older, I'm afraid he will really be powerless. Shen Ruoqi felt deeply guilty, if only she could have discovered his existence earlier......
Shen Ruoqi secretly wiped her tears, Qiu Yuqian hugged Shen Zhiling and smiled at her: "Children are like this, you will be fine when he adapts to it." It's just that during this time, I'm afraid that the child will be a little unaccustomed and distressed, and Miss Shen will have to be more patient. ”
It is natural that she will pay ten times more patience to her own children.
Qiu Yuqian tried to coax Shen Zhiling and let Shen Ruoqi tease him with his favorite toy, and finally let Shen Ruoqi hug him.
Qiu Yuqian prepared some more things for Shen Ruoqi, including the things he likes to play with and clothes. In the end, I didn't forget to explain some things to her, such as some of Shen Zhiling's small habits and problems, and Shen Ruoqi had to have a comprehensive understanding of everything.
"Miss, your father meant to let you stay here for two days. It's not okay for you to drive alone with your child now, and the child will definitely not be used to crying when he leaves, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. It's better to stay here for two days first, so that he can get used to being with you first, so that you don't cry so much when you take him away. ”
Shen Ruoqi carefully considered Qiu Fu's words, which made sense.
"Then I'm going to trouble you. After two days alone, Shen Ruoqi was a little looking forward to it.
"What did Miss say, Dong Chen is kind to my family, what is this. Oh yes, Miss is in a hurry, I'm afraid she didn't bring any luggage, why don't you let Yuqian accompany you out to buy something!"
Qiu Yuqian nodded and smiled on the side: "Okay, the mall is not far from here, we can walk over." The cart goes with the little one, he likes to go out. ”
This little guy is happy when he goes out, but he can't be idle.
Bringing a bottle of diapers, the three of them went out.
As Qiu Yuqian said, this little guy was in a good mood as soon as he went out, and the two of them were squeaking and laughing. Qiu Yuqian tried to ask Shen Zhiling to call her mother, but the child opened his mouth and didn't scream.
"Auntie......" Shen Zhiling called Aunt Qiu Yuqian inarticulately, Shen Ruoqi was a little moved, they had never asked Shen Zhiling to call her mother.
When she arrived at the mall, Qiu Yuqian asked Shen Ruoqi to hold Shen Zhiling, and the child was already much closer to Shen Ruoqi in this way. Although he still won't call her, at least he doesn't resist making contact with her.
The purpose of visiting the mall is only to have more contact with children, and Shen Ruoqi picked two clothes very casually. After selling things, I found a restaurant below the mall for afternoon tea.
Shen Ruoqi was missing the two years of the child, Qiu Yuqian told her about Shen Zhiling when she was a baby, and some photos of him, hoping to make up for her blank memories in the past two years.
A two-year-old boy has already revealed his skinny nature. Beside Shen Ruoqi, he suddenly began to be restless, patted the window in front of the glass window, picked up the spoon and knocked on the cup.
Qiu Yuqian shrugged helplessly: "Boys are like this, they are even more skinny when they are older." ”
Shen Ruoqi lowered his head and smiled, and suddenly remembered that Mrs. Shen laughed and said not to have boys when she was in Zealand, because boys are really hated when they grow up to four or five years old. The skin is a headache, but it is better to give birth to a daughter, well-behaved.
