Chapter 13 Changes
When I opened my eyes, I only felt that my whole body was back pain, but I still insisted on getting up, because today I was going to take Jiaqi to Aunt Bao Juan.
After hurriedly brushing my teeth, washing my face, feeding Jiaqi, and diapers, I carried Jiaqi Bar to the side basket of my bicycle and covered it with a small blanket. Because Jiaqi is small, even if she puts it in the basket, she can leave a little space.
After putting Jiaqi on the bike, I started riding in the direction of Aunt Bao Juan's steamed bun shop.
Aunt Bao Juan's steamed bun shop is on the way to my junior high school, and it takes about 10 minutes to get there, but it is not on the same route as my high school school, so I have to drive in the opposite direction.
On the way to the steamed bun shop, I had a constant struggle of ideas in my mind.
Am I really going to give Jiaqi to her for the time being?
How long can my lies last?
What if she knew that I had lied to her about what I told her?
Moreover, will Aunt Bao Juan really be willing to help me take care of Jiaqi like this? Or is it just lip service?
With a wavering mood, I still went to the familiar steamed bun shop.
When I arrived at the door of the familiar steamed bun shop, I saw Aunt Bao Juan putting a basket of xiaolongbao on the steamer, under which a large black iron pot was filled with water and steaming through the round wooden board.
Aunt Bao Juan's eyes were very bright, and as soon as my car stopped at the door, she saw me, looked at me holding Jiaqi, and beckoned me in with a smile.
When I walked into the store, I happened to see two little girls who seemed to be the first and second year of junior high school eating xiao long bao, and I immediately felt a fever on my face.
"Auntie. I hugged the sleeping Jiaqi and walked quickly to Aunt Bao Juan, her face was hot, she lowered her head and said with some embarrassment, "My sister is ......."
"It's okay, just leave her here and I'll take care of her. Aunt Bao Juan said very eagerly.
At that time, I was really embarrassed, Aunt Bao Juan put down the xiaolongbao, and she hugged Jiaqi in my arms.
The sleeping little Jiaqi was like a little dead pig, without any reaction, not knowing that she had arrived in the arms of another person.
"Auntie, I'm really sorry to trouble you. ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Aunt Bao Juan hugged Jiaqi and patted her gently, then moved her gaze back and forth again, and said, "Come in and sit down and eat steamed buns, right?"
"That's no, I'm already ...... Breakfast. "I'm too embarrassed to ask for more, and I've already felt the curious eyes of the two junior high school girls in the store who were eating xiaolongbao. In short, this place should not be stayed for long.
I hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Auntie, I'm really going to trouble you, the school won't let us come out at noon...... In the evening, it may not be half past five in the evening before I can come to pick up Jiaqi. I whispered.
"It's okay, you can rest assured. Auntie, it's not like I haven't raised children, hehe, you are really. In fact, I don't have to pick her up, and it's okay to put her at my aunt's house. Anyway, I already have a child at home, and I don't feel like taking care of another one. ”
"That's too troublesome Auntie...... I'll pick her up at night. And maybe my mom will come home to find her, so I won't have to trouble my aunt anymore.
I was comforted by Aunt Bao Juan, and looking at her generous appearance, I was embarrassed to say anything. I only felt that I owed too much, and finally said goodbye to Aunt Bao Juan with a warm face, and then rode to school.
Along the way, I kept looking back at the steamed bun shop where Aunt Bao Juan was, and I saw Aunt Bao Juan holding Jiaqi standing at the door of the store and smiling at me, and I unconsciously smiled back.
That was the first time I really handed over Jiaqi to someone else to take care of, although I thought from the bottom of my heart that Aunt Bao Juan was an approachable and good person, but it was impossible to say that I was completely relieved.
As a result, I was restless all day at school that day, my eyes were always glued to my watch, and the second hand was clicking around, hoping that the day's classes would end early.
It was a long day, and when the bell rang in the evening, I got up from my chair as if I had been electrocuted, grabbed my bag and ran to the carport without saying a word. Even my tablemate, Shang Zhefeng, said behind me that I didn't hear anything clearly.
When I came to the steamed bun shop, I saw Aunt Bao Juan sitting in the store with Jiaqi in her arms, and walked into the steamed bun shop, Aunt Bao Juan smiled and said to me that you are here, the baby has just fallen asleep.
I smiled and said, Auntie, it's really hard for you.
Aunt Bao Juan said that it was nothing, the child basically slept all day long, and there was nothing hard to do except feed and pee.
I thanked my aunt several times in a row, and then told her that I wanted to bring Jiaqi home. The aunt said it was okay, and it would be okay to let Jiaqi sleep at her house. But after thinking about it, I still insisted that it was too troublesome, and I also said that I was afraid that my mother would not be able to deal with it if she asked. In the end, at my insistence, I took Jiaqi with me.
At night, I still put her in the underground warehouse as usual, and I also slept in the underground warehouse, and then locked the door of the room, so that I could take care of Jiaqi at any time, and secondly, it could also prevent my father from suddenly coming back into my room in the middle of the night and seeing me in a hurry to find me.
During this time, I have cleaned the underground warehouse very well, not only the sanitation work is in place, but also the layout is reasonable. As for the electric blankets, electric kettles and other electrical appliances were all taken by me to the underground warehouse, which almost became my second bedroom, if there were outsiders into the underground warehouse, if it weren't for those tall cardboard boxes, this underground warehouse would definitely not be a real warehouse, others would definitely think it was a secret base or something.
Since that day, my life has basically stabilized.
In the morning, I would take Jiaqi to Aunt Bao Juan's steamed bun shop and entrust Jiaqi to her care, and then in the evening I would pick her up and sleep in the underground warehouse to take care of her myself.
Although it was a bit hard to take care of Jiaqi at night, I got used to it over time, I learned to hurry up and go to bed in the morning self-study and after class, and I also learned to take a nap in the classes of those teachers who were easier to talk, such as chemistry and history, to make up for my lack of sleep one night.
Once life settles down, time flies.
I don't even know how that time passed, but in the blink of an eye, autumn was coming to an end, the weather was getting colder and colder, and frost was starting to form on the low yellow lawn on the ground.
And my course is getting deeper and deeper, and the thick textbooks are getting thinner and thinner, and they are getting closer and closer to the end page.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed since I picked up Jiaqi.
In the past two months, Jiaqi has changed a lot, her body is obviously bigger, although she still has a little baby fat, but it has to retreat a little bit compared to the beginning, she looks very healthy, her skin is whiter, her black hair is longer, and she looks more cute and attractive. In addition, Jiaqi's diet has gradually begun to stabilize, unlike the first three meals a day without regularity, as time goes by, Jiaqi's feeding time is basically stable in the morning, noon and evening, and the three watches in the middle of the night only need to be fed once, without having to get up several times. Also, she doesn't cry and sleep as much as she did when I first picked her up. On several occasions, when I carried Jiaqi home, she had her eyes open, her jet-black diamond-like eyes staring at me unblinking, and sometimes she would twist her little head or swipe her body.
It was a Saturday afternoon, and my dad was on a business trip again, so I took Jiaqi to my bedroom, where I was lying in bed watching TV while Jiaqi slept next to me. At that time, I suddenly noticed that Jiaqi's eyes were staring at the TV without blinking, her eyelashes were raised high, and the bright pupils showed a color similar to curiosity.
At that moment, I was so surprised that I took my hand and shook it gently in front of her eyes, only to find that her little eyes would also turn slightly with the movement of my hand.
