Except for Lele, all of us looked at the balcony nervously, and grandma stood up tremblingly to look over, and kept muttering: "My good granddaughter, Zhuang Yan! Zhuang Yan, stop me, you are an elder brother, how can you beat my sister!"

Zhuang Yan is not the kind of man who beats women, so this slap really scared me.

But as soon as we took a few steps, a slender figure rushed out of the gate like lightning, leaving a heavy slamming sound in our ears.

The sister-in-law pushed the sister-in-law and asked him to chase Zhuang Xiaoting back, and she herself ran to the balcony to scold Zhuang Yan for not talking.

But halfway through the scolding, she stopped talking, and turned back with a strange look and whispered to her grandmother: "It was Xiaoting who hit Zhuangzi, but Zhuangzi didn't do anything." ”

Grandma's hurried footsteps stopped abruptly, and after answering in a daze, she comforted Zhuang Yan's back: "Xiaoting is impatient, you should be more responsible as a brother." ”

By the way, grandma didn't know that something had happened in Zhuang Yan's family, and everyone hid it from her, including her sister-in-law, who was always babbling, and this time she was holding back the secret with all her might. The old man is old, everyone is looking forward to her enjoying her family, and no one wants to worry her.

The reason for sending Lele here at the beginning was also very simple, that is, to let her stay with her great-granddaughter more, she was too late to be happy, and she was often in poor spirits, so she didn't have the heart to think about it at all.

"Grandma, I'll go to the balcony and have a look. ”

My sister-in-law wanted to count me down because of my name for my grandmother, but after seeing my grandmother's face, she only muttered: "Zhuangzi said to let him be alone and quiet." ”

I smiled at her and walked to the balcony without hesitation.

"Mom. "Lele is so young, she already knows how to read words and looks, maybe she has found that the atmosphere is not right, and trotted to my side and called softly. The big clear eyes were full of thirst, obviously wanting to go to the balcony with me to see Zhuang Yan.

I shook my head very gently: "Lele hasn't taken a bath yet, right?"

She reluctantly glanced at the balcony, obviously unhappy, but she still pursed her lips and forced herself to nod: "Hmm." ”

When he opened the sliding door of the balcony, Zhuang Yan didn't even look back, only spit out his eyes and said in a dumb voice: "Let me stay by myself." ”

I paused, but I didn't go back.

Quietly walked behind him, gently hugged his waist from behind, and pressed it against his back.

After these actions last night, he shuddered lightly in hindsight: "I'm smoking." ”

"Well, you smoke it, it's okay to smell it. "The summer nights were still unbearably hot, and waves of heat rushed through the windows, upsetting me. In fact, Zhuang Yan snuffed out the cigarette after listening to my words, and directly used his fingers to extinguish it, and I even heard him gasp for a breath of heat.

"Do you want to tell me? What did Xiaoting say?" I didn't hear the two brothers and sisters arguing loudly just now, and I didn't understand why they ended up doing it instead.

Zhuang Yan sighed dullly, and after a long while, he pulled my hand away, and then walked behind me and hugged me. Two large hands held my lower abdomen, and my chin gently rubbed against my hair.

After a long time like this, I felt that Lele was about to finish taking a shower, so I couldn't help but remind him: "I promised Lele to accompany her later, and you have to go too." ”

"Good. ”

He has always been stingy with words in front of me, so his sudden reticence made me very uncomfortable. I writhed irritably, and then he continued my previous question and said, "Xiaoting said that she hates me and hates Dad." ”

He is so low, it must not be just because of these two words of hatred, maybe Zhuang Xiaoting also said other hurtful things, but Zhuang Yan didn't want to tell me.

I didn't follow any further, and being honest doesn't mean I need him to tell me everything.

That night, my sister-in-law arranged for Zhuang Yan to sleep in a room with my sister-in-law, Lele and I slept together, she herself slept with my grandmother, and Aunt Fang spent the night on the sofa in the living room. Zhuang Yan didn't want everyone to be so troublesome, but after seeing Lele's eager gaze, he finally nodded.

It is rare for our family of three to get together, in fact, Zhuang Yan is afraid that Lele will kick me in the stomach if he doesn't sleep honestly at night, and he didn't want our mother and daughter to sleep together. However, Lele repeatedly promised that she would not damage the baby in my belly, and finally took the initiative to find a lot of pillows to stop between me and her: "Dad, this hill is the same, I will definitely not press my mother at night." ”

The haze in Zhuang Yan's heart was polished away little by little by Lele's childishness, and finally the two of us readers booked the storybook and lulled her to sleep. As usual, I took a lot of photos of Lele with my phone.

Zhuang Yan never went to sleep in his brother-in-law's room, and took my mobile phone to look through photos for a long time.

The melancholy in his eyebrows and eyes was quickly replaced by a light smile, and I stared at his handsome face and gradually fell asleep.

When I was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, Zhuang Yan actually slept on his side in the palm-sized place next to me, and the whole person was close to me, as if he would fall out of bed at any time.

I quickly moved inside, but his arms wrapped around my waist, and as I moved in, he tightened his arms and scooped me back into his arms.

"Hmm, Mom~" I had one arm held in Lele's arms, so the whole person couldn't move left and right, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, maintaining a stiff posture and continuing to sleep.

I didn't notice that he was still holding my phone in his hand, and when I got up the next morning to take Lele to a hobby class, he opened a photo on the road and asked me what was going on. It was a shoe print photo that I found in my hometown at the time, and I took a photo at the time when I was puzzled, and then I saw it.

I told Zhuang Yan what had happened, and he frowned and muttered: "Your hometown?

Seeing that he was silent in thought, I did not disturb him.

Lele chirped like a bird all the way, and it could be seen that she was very happy because her parents sent her to school together. This realization made me feel particularly indebted to her, and secretly vowed to make money as soon as possible to pay off the debts owed by Zhuang Yan's family, and then officially take Lele to her side to raise her.

After getting out of the car, Lele turned around three times in one step, and when he was about to enter the classroom, he ran back and hugged me with his little short legs: "Mom and Dad, are you here to pick me up from school?"

I didn't want to lie to her, so I didn't say anything. She had to look up at Zhuang Yan with her little face expectantly, Zhuang Yan couldn't bear to shake his head, and was also silent for a long time without moving.

Lele was already able to think independently, knowing that we might be leaving soon, and I couldn't hold back any longer, tears came when I said it, and crying made my heart hurt.

That was the first time I saw her lose her temper, and she almost sat on the floor and kicked her legs and rolled around. The pretty little face was covered with tears and snot, and I didn't have time to wipe it for her, and the tears fell straight down.

I was disturbed by Lele's crying, and I lost all my senses, and begged Zhuang Yan vigorously: "Let's take Lele to our side and raise it ourselves, if it goes on like this, she will hate us." I've graduated, and I'm ......."

I can't say the words "don't go to work" in my throat, my little salary can't help Zhuang Yan anything, but I shouldn't mention the requirement of recuperating and not doing anything at home now.

In the past, the banker's salary to Aunt Fang was very high, but after the decline, Aunt Fang took the initiative to ask for a price reduction. She has affection for the dealer, Lele has been led by her since she was a child, and her feelings are even more extraordinary. If we are cheeky and ask, she may be willing to lower her salary and follow us back to the small house to help bring Lele.

But how to say it, grandma's age is getting older, and the days that can make Lele Chenghuan under her knees are getting fewer and fewer. In this case, the sister-in-law will definitely not agree to let us take Lele away, and we have too many things to do now...... All kinds of questions remind me that it is the wisest choice to continue to put Lele in my sister-in-law's house for foster care.

Lele didn't go to an interest class that day, I took her to play with Zhuang Yan all morning, but when it was close to noon, she seemed to notice that we were leaving, and she was sullen all the time, and finally simply threw herself into Aunt Fang's arms and said that she hated us.

Zhuang Yan looked at Lele in silence all the time, and seemed to have made up some kind of determination before leaving. He gritted his teeth and told me, "I'm ready to accept the job offer from Lao Chai, Xixi, do you have any opinions?"

I shook my head: "I'll talk to the manager when I go back and see if there's a suitable opportunity to transfer to that city as well." ”

His eyes darkened, with a little sadness: "Okay, if you don't have it, you don't have to toss, just resign and raise a baby at home." Xixi, I can afford to raise you, but I don't have the energy to take care of Lele now. When the new job is on track, I will arrange Lele to go over. ”

It was the first time we were planning for the future of our family, and it seemed difficult, but I was relieved.

When we left that day, we called Lele for a long time, and she refused to look at us, but when the taxi we stopped was about to go to the train station, she struggled in Aunt Fang's arms and opened her arms to us, and her little voice was hoarse.

A child can't understand the hardships of adults, she will only intuitively feel whether we are with her or not.

As long as we compensate for her missing father's and mother's love as soon as possible, her psychological loss will not accumulate deeper. I'm her mother, and I definitely have to give up my job when necessary, after all, I can find a job again, but once I miss Lele's childhood, I will miss it forever.

Zhuang Yan said that most of the shoe prints I took were from a strange man who gave me a document bag in the hotel, and he had been to his hometown to rummage through things, but it only showed one thing: my uncle had important information in his hands.

My uncle told me before that he had evidence that Zhao Dehai had harmed Uncle Jiang in order not to go to prison, and it seemed that there were other important clues hidden in that pile of evidence. However, Uncle Zhuang clearly said that it was a step too late, so I always thought that the evidence had already been destroyed by Zhao Dehai.

However, Zhuang Yan's determination seems to be more than just work, he actually said that he wants to visit his uncle.

The wheel of fate has been rolling forward with a sigh, and Zhuang Yan changed his trajectory halfway, but now he has to turn back to his original trajectory. However, on the way where he changed lanes, a lot of things happened that made me unbelievable.
