Li Qiao had never felt that this child was so cute at this moment, the chubby little cheeks, the eyes like a Tahitian black pearl version, the fleshy little arms waving in the air, and the voice that kept repeating: "Baba, I want to eat." ”

Li Qiao took a deep breath, walked forward involuntarily, and said: "Why are you so unbehaved, how can you run around, do you know how worried Dad is about you!" Although saying this, Li Qiao had already stretched out his hand and held the child tightly in his arms.

Li Xiaoqiao's big eyes rolled slightly, a child of this age may not be able to accept this kind of feeling well, but at this moment in Li Qiao's arms, this little aunt and grandmother are quietly leaning their little heads on Li Qiao's shoulder, very quiet, the old grandmother behind her, looking at this scene, the face that has been covered with wrinkles, can't help but show a kind smile.

"Thank you, um, mother-in-law. Li Qiao looked at the old woman in front of him, hesitated, and said.

"My surname is Chen, so call me Grandma Chen. It seemed that she had seen through Li Qiao's embarrassment, and Grandma Chen smiled and said: "Don't dare to be so careless in the future, a fifteen-month-old child dares to leave her alone at home, how dangerous it is!"

"Yes, yes!" Li Qiao humbly accepted Grandma Chen's kind advice, this matter was indeed his fault, if it were not so, the child would not have walked out of the room: "I will not leave her alone at home in the future." ”

Grandma Chen smiled: "I don't blame you, but you are a big man, the house is so messy, cigarette butts, beer cans, garbage cans are littered everywhere, a good environment is always good for children, you are also a person with children now, you should also change." ”

Li Qiao nodded embarrassedly, he knew the room like a dog kennel, and glanced at Li Xiaoqiao, who didn't know what was going on in the outside world in his arms, and was still waving his arms, and couldn't help asking: "Grandma Chen, how far did she go when you found her?"

"It's not far, fortunately, nothing happened!" Grandma Chen said with a little reproach: "When I saw her, I just climbed out of the door, more than ten meters away in the corridor, holding a cigarette filter in her hand, and was about to stuff it into her mouth, fortunately I saw it early, and so did you, and you didn't close the door when you went out." ”

"Didn't close the door?" Li Qiao was suddenly startled, but there was not much surprise, after all, a fifteen-month-old child can only walk, and he can't reach the doorknob more than one meter high, the child will walk out of the room, and the door is not closed is the most reasonable explanation.

Li Qiao recalled that after buying breakfast in the morning, he hurriedly went out, as if he had forgotten to close the door, thinking of this, Li Qiao couldn't help but be a little afraid, fortunately there was Grandma Chen, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, Li Qiao sincerely said to Grandma Chen: "Granny Chen, thank you so much." ”

"Thank you, thank you, it's all from the neighbors. Grandma Chen smiled: "Come in and sit for a while, I'm afraid of disturbing other people in the corridor." ”

"It's okay!" Li Qiao hesitated, after all, people not only saved their children, but also took care of them until now, plus the identity of the neighbors, Li Qiao should also thank others, so he nodded: "Then bother." ”

"It's okay, I'm alone in this room, the old man in my family died two years ago, and there is no one in the family. Grandma Chen turned on the lights and led Li Qiao into the house: "This child is very cute and well-behaved, with her with me for an afternoon, I don't feel lonely anymore." ”

The room where Grandma Chen lives maintains the decoration style of more than ten years ago, when the community was just built, the ceiling has been slightly yellowed at the moment, an old fan is hanging high overhead, and the surrounding tables, chairs and benches, including decorations, are all things from more than ten years ago, Li Qiao walked into the room, as if he had walked into the nineties.

"Granny Chen, this is your family, right?" Li Qiao saw that on the cabinet on one side, next to the old-fashioned enamel teacup, was a family photo, with an old man and an old lady, a husband and wife, and a stunned boy printed on it.

"Yes, the old man is gone, and my son has started a family and gone to live outside, and I, an old woman, can walk and move, and I don't want to bother them. Grandma Chen said with a smile, but when it came to his grandson, her slightly cloudy eyes lit up slightly: "This is my grandson, who is in high school, and is still in school today, and he scored 90 points in mathematics two days ago." ”

Li Qiao was stunned, as if the high school score was calculated according to more than 120! But Li Qiao didn't want to dampen Grandma Chen's happy mood, nodded with a smile, sat down at the round table, Grandma Chen poured a glass of water for Li Qiao, and then sat down: "By the way, what is the name of this child, and where is her mother?"

This question really stumped Li Qiao, who was this child's old lady, he really didn't know, so he had to shake his head with a wry smile: "This ......"

Grandma Chen hurriedly said: "It's my wife who is talking too much, meddling in things, coming back so late, I haven't eaten yet, let's stay and eat a little?"

"It's okay, her name is Li Xiaoqiao!" Li Qiao hurriedly explained: "I just came back from working in the kitchen, and I also bought some dinner, and I went back to eat, otherwise it would be a waste." ”

Grandma Chen smiled: "Li Xiaoqiao, it's a good name, the child was hungry just now, I have already given her a little food, the child is still young, go back and feed less, so as not to vomit." ”

"I see. Li Qiao saw that the child in his arms was already a little drowsy, so he stood up and said, "Thank you, Granny Chen, it's not too early, I'll go back first." ”

"Good, good. Grandma Chen got up to see each other, pinched Li Xiaoqiao's hanging palm, and said: "It's a good thing for young people to be ambitious, since they have children, then they must also have the responsibility to take care of children. ”

Li Qiao nodded gratefully, only feeling that his heart was also warm, and then went back to the room with the child, but immediately smelled the peculiar smell in the room because it was not circulating, the ground was full of cigarette butts, beer cans could hold a whole snakeskin bag, and other takeaways, snack garbage, and countless others, and the whole garbage dump was not enough to describe.

Li Qiao couldn't help but think of what Grandma Chen said, Li Xiaoqiao climbed out of the room, holding a cigarette butt in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth, his heart couldn't help but be sour, the bed in the bedroom had been soiled by millet porridge, Li Qiao put the child on the sofa, covered it with thick clothes, and then picked it up from the ground, the cake that had fallen over and was no longer in shape.

This is a cake specially bought for Li Xiaoqiao, but Li Qiao didn't think that there would be such a thing, so the cake fell to the ground, but fortunately it was packaged and did not get dirty, put it on the table, opened it for inspection, and the aroma of cream came out, and then Li Qiao heard the sound of "babbling" from the sofa.

Li Qiao smiled bitterly, it turned out to be this Li Xiaoqiao, who was about to fall asleep, actually smelled the fragrance of cream and woke up again, it seems that the most irresistible thing for the child is the snack sweets.

"Come on, good baby, it's delicious. Saying that, Li Qiao stuffed a small sip in the child's mouth and comforted a few words.

Then he straightened up, frowned and looked at the room like a garbage dump, took a deep breath, wrapped the child's body tightly, and opened the window directly, the unpleasant smell that filled the air was swept away in the cold breeze of the autumn night, and after so long, this room should also be cleaned.

Li Qiao quickly picked up the garbage bag, put the beer cans scattered all over the place into the bag one by one, and then cleaned up the cigarette butts and takeaway garbage, and then looked at it, the whole room was spacious and pleasing to the eye.

However, the cleaning work was not yet completed, and then it was necessary to clean up the dust and dirt accumulated in all corners of the room, but it all ended in the cheers of Li Qiao, who made up his mind, and Li Xiaoqiao's "babbling", and the whole room was restored to that pleasing level, closing the window, and the smell of air fresheners filled the air.

After doing all this, the time has come to the middle of the night, but what surprised Li Qiao was that in the past, just working in the hotel from morning to night, he had already been unable to straighten his waist, but today he has done so much work in a row, and his body has no signs of fatigue, and his spirit is faintly high-spirited.

"What's going on?" Li Qiao subconsciously looked at the parenting book on the sofa: "Is it because of practicing parenting aerobics?" After all, Li Qiao found that his body had changed slightly, all in the past two days, and during this time, the only different thing he had done was to practice parenting aerobics.

But Li Qiao didn't think much about it, after all, it's always good to have a healthy body, admiring the new room, Li Qiao glanced at it, and saw the little aunt and grandmother on the sofa with a mouth full of cream hanging her head, swaying around, and about to fall down, Li Qiao looked funny, this time the little aunt should really be asleep.

Helping her wipe the cream off her mouth, Li Qiao sent the child to the bedroom where she slept, looking at her cute appearance of smashing her mouth under the light, Li Qiao couldn't help but soften his heart, kissed her lightly on the forehead, then turned off the light, and walked out cautiously.

But Li Qiao didn't sleep immediately, all day in the kitchen, his body was full of the smell of oil smoke, hesitated, and finally practiced parenting aerobics, until many times, the body was really unable to stick to the action, so he went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Looking at himself in the mirror, who was completely different from before, Li Qiao took a deep breath, then stared at the mirror and said silently: "I...... Is it responsible?"

Today, two people have already talked to him about responsibility, but he is still confused, he can't understand, the steaming bathroom, Li Qiao's self-talk echoed in the air.
