Chapter 86: Bad News

That. The weather is sunny. The sun is shining. The weather forecast says it will rain next week. A wave of strong cold air is coming. Qiao Xinwei can't wait. She got on the bus with the baby in her arms. I want to take advantage of the good weather these days. Go see grandma.

The quaint Jiangnan town also welcomes the off-season of tourism at this time. The bluestone paved path is inevitably a little depressed. There are not many shops on the side of the road. Business is lukewarm.

But. This is the same as the grandmother's house she remembered when she was a child. more similar.

Very well-behaved in Xi. There was no tossing along the way. More often than not, they sleep in swaddling clothes. The little pink face is very cute. This also saved Qiao Xinwei a lot of heart.

Come to my grandmother's house. Because it is a tourist attraction. The gate of the yard is open. There are very few tourists. There are not a few people.

Qiao Xinwei walked over. The ticket sales staff changed. She explained what she meant. But the staff kept her out.

"Big sister. I'm really the niece of the owner of this yard. I'm here to see my grandmother. If you don't believe me, ask your neighbors next door."

The eldest sister said, "There are no old people in this courtyard. The ticket is only ten dollars. You're not going to have to pay for ten dollars, are you?"

"My grandmother lives in this yard. How could there be no one?"

"Girl. I just came here not long ago. As far as I know, there really isn't anyone living in this yard. I don't know who lived there before. You can't get in. Buy a ticket as soon as you enter. If you don't enter, let's go."

“??” It's not a question of buying a ticket or not. It's the question of where her grandmother is, okay. She didn't have time to spend with the staff. Quickly took the child and went to the small restaurant next door.

The small restaurant is still open. The restaurant's grandfather recognized her at a glance. As soon as she entered. The boss said, "Xinwei. You've finally shown up. Where the hell have you gone, kid? Your mother, your uncle, your grandmother. I'm going to find you."

"Ah Gong. What about my grandmother. How did the eldest sister at the door say that my grandmother doesn't live here. Where did she move to?"

Ah Gong sighed. He said, "Your grandmother. It's gone."

“??” Qiao Xinwei's mind went blank. That's what scares me the most. She'd thought about it before. Just don't dare to think about it. I found a lot of reasons why my grandmother's number became empty. Now it's all right. Validates her deepest fears. Her heart. It hurts to stir.

Deep and quiet alley. Somewhat gloomy and cold. Qiao Xinwei walked on the bluestone path with the child in her arms. The sound of shoes stepping on the bluestone slab. The footsteps are a little messy. It's like her heart at the moment.

According to Ah Gong. At the beginning of the year she left shortly after. Xiang Ling found it. divorced her from Jiang Hao. And the reason for the divorce was all told to my grandmother. Grandma felt sorry for her and blamed herself for not taking her a good look. Because of self-blame. Grandma's already bad body collapsed. It didn't take long to go.

This is a dozen meters of road. She finished crying. The child is hungry. I also cried bitterly. At the beginning of the year, I said goodbye to my grandmother. Come back again. I don't want to say goodbye to heaven and man. Who would have thought that once. It was the last time I saw my grandmother.

Walked to the station in a trance. Get on the bus in a trance. Breastfeeding your child in a trance. The child drank and slept again. And she sat there crying. I can't stop the tears.

After going back. Settle the kids. She endured her grief and called Xiang Ling.

"Hey. Mother. Is it??"

Xiang Ling listened. I cried on the phone." Xinwei. Where have you been? Why are you looking for me? But I'm scared to death."

"Mom. I'm sorry. It's me who is not filial. It's me who doesn't understand. Are you worried??" This sentence. That's what she wanted to say to her grandmother." Mother. I went to my grandmother's house. Knowing that my grandmother has passed away. I'm sorry grandma??"

"You stupid boy. We won't blame you. We just want you to come home. You are now. Where is it?"

"Mom. I'm fine now. Don't worry."

Xiang Ling cried and said, "Jiajia told us. She also regrets saying something to you that she shouldn't have said. Come back. It's better to go anywhere than in your own home."

"It has nothing to do with my sister-in-law. You tell her not to blame herself."

"I know. You're hiding from Jiang Hao, right?"

Qiao Xinwei was silent. Hear this person's name again. Still like a knife.

"If you don't say it, you're acquiescing. The heart is the only one. Jiang Hao has been to the house several times. I've all kicked them out. I'm sure I won't give him a good look when he treats you like this. You come back. We won't have anything to do with the Jiang family in the future. What are you doing hiding from him?"

"Mom. I have my problems. I'm doing pretty well right now. Don't worry about me."

"When are you coming back?"

Qiao Xinwei was silent. At least in the last year or two. She can't go back. One go back. What to do with the child. Jiang Hao knew it. Will you rob her? Jiang Hao probably won't. The Jiang family will definitely be.

Xiang Ling said bitterly: "The heart is only. Mom knows that you have been very aggrieved in the Jing family all these years. Mom has no skills. I can't protect you. But anyway. We mother and daughter can be together, can't we? Now your brother is married and doesn't live at home. Come back. Leave your aunt and other relatives alone. Come back. Ahh

Qiao Xinwei cried even harder. Adoptive children know the kindness of their parents. She remorsefully remorseful for the many complaints she had made about her mother.

She couldn't bear her mother to worry about herself anymore. Thereupon. She could only make excuses and say, "Mom. I can't leave my job now. I want to break through on my own. I have hands and feet and I will not die of hunger. Don't worry."

Xiang Ling sighed and said, "You. It's so stubborn. You decide the thing. Even ten big scalpers won't pull you back."

"Mom. One more thing. Jiang Hao if you come to find. Don't sue him I've contacted you. Okay?"

"Good. He did that kind of thing and still has the face to find you. I don't understand him either. I'm not going to give him another chance to hurt you."

"Dad and brother don't tell them. Save your sister-in-law from thinking too much. I don't want my brother and sister-in-law to have any unpleasant trouble because of me."

Xiang Ling sighed. It's right to think about it. Jing Shang would stay in the small room for a while every time he went home. Others don't know. She's knowing. Jing Shang still hasn't let go of his heart." Good. All promised you. I won't tell anyone."

Then. Babies sleeping in bed have signs of waking up. The little hands and feet have already begun to move. Qiao Xinwei said: "Mom. This is my number. You can call me if you have something. There's something else going on on my side. I'll hang up first."

"Huh. Good. The heart is the only one. Take care of your body when you are outside. It's cold. Wear more clothes."

"Good. Mother. Take care of yourself."

A phone call didn't ease the pain of losing a loved one. But at least let my mother know she's okay. Let the mother worry less. So. She's also a little at ease.

New Year's Day in the first year outside. Aunt Qin went to Xincheng to celebrate the New Year with her children and grandchildren. She was at home with her baby. For the first time, she tried to make dumplings herself. In the past, I watched Jiang Hao just get it casually. She made a mess. And for half a day. Nor is it formed. In the end, she cooked herself a bowl of gnocchi soup.

Chinese New Year's Eve. The sound of firecrackers outside. She stood by the window with her baby in her arms and watched the fireworks. The baby is only three months old. Look at the fireworks that are lit up outside. He watched with wide eyes. The black eyes are bright and bright.

The baby grows day by day. Eat more and grow faster. Slowly. He'll laugh. Will roll over. Will sit. Meeting Station. Will babble and babble. No matter how tired and bitter she is. Just see the baby's innocent smiling face. She felt that this qiē was worth it.

The mother is strong. While the baby is growing day by day. She, a new mother, is also growing day by day.

She didn't work long. Not much savings. The child is too young for her to take time to go to work. Now that I think about it, I regret my high self-esteem. She should have taken a little more money from Jiang Hao.

to yourself. She can save what she can. Try to save the good for the child. Now the child is small. The overhead is not large. Wait for the child to go to kindergarten as soon as he arrives. That's a big overhead.

Throttling is limited. Can only be open source.

She connected with her college mentor online. On the recommendation of the tutor. She writes planners for small companies. Write a plan and receive a penny. Worked out in a big company. Also actually operate over large projects. Now write small projects for small companies. It's easy for her. Basically. The clients of the plans she writes are very satisfied. The customer is satisfied. There are more projects for her.

Besides. She will also write something and submit it to magazines to earn manuscript fees. Selected manuscripts are counted according to the number of words. One manuscript is charged one manuscript fee. There are also those that have been returned. Don't be afraid to return. Keep writing and keep casting.

In this way. She can both earn living expenses. And I can take care of the children. Kill two birds with one stone.

Time flies. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. The baby in the swaddling clothes has grown into a little man who can speak well.

Xiao Zaixi is a synthesis of Jiang Hao and Qiao Xinwei. The facial features are more like Qiao Xinwei. Especially the eyes and mouth. It's all round. The big contours of the face and body shape all follow Jiang Hao. Don't look at him as only three years old. As tall as a four-year-old child downstairs.

The body of the small in Xi is also amazing. He can jump from morning to night. Qiao Xinwei takes him to the park every time to play. The one who plays is him. Can be tired and lie down. It's all herself.

One night. After taking a shower. Little in Xi buckle their own navel to play. Qiao Xinwei saw it and hurriedly stopped it. Baby. The belly button can't be played casually. You're going to get sick."

Xiao Zaixi's interest in the navel is undiminished. He asked, "Mom. Why do I have belly button eyes?"

"Everybody has it. Mom has it too." Thereupon. Qiao Xinwei briefly explained the reason that the umbilical cord connects the fetus and the mother. In order for my son to understand. She said it as simple as she could." After the baby comes out of the mother's womb. You won't need the umbilical cord. The doctor cut the umbilical cord. And tied a knot. This knot slowly becomes the navel eye."

Xiao Zaixi listened very carefully. Finally he regretfully asked, "Why didn't the doctor tie a bow?" How cool is that."

“??” This question. It's so incomprehensible. I really can't answer.
