Zhuo Qing hugged the schoolbag in his arms tightly, walked briskly with his head down, and ran up in a hurry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe sound of footsteps "knock knock" came to mind in the dark and quiet alley. Zhuo Qing saw the dim light at the door of his house from a distance, was a little relieved, sped up his steps, took a few steps and did two steps, and jumped into the house. She looked into the lighted kitchen, which was full of people. "Mom, I'm back!"

Zhuo Xiulan came out of the kitchen and wiped her hands with her apron. "Coming back? When you rest, wash and sleep. ”

Zhuo Qing answered, burrowed into his cabin, and carefully took out a delicate doll from his schoolbag. This is a doll that Zhuo Qing has liked for a long time, and she has always fantasized that Zhuo Xiulan will buy it for her one day. But she also knew clearly that it was impossible for Zhuo Xiulan to buy her these items other than daily necessities. This doll. She had only seen it once from afar, and she had never forgotten it.

"Qing'er, why don't you sleep yet?" Zhuo Xiulan pushed open Zhuo Qing's door.

Zhuo Qing hurriedly hid the doll in the quilt and quickly lay down in the quilt. "That's it."

"What are you hiding?" Rao is Zhuo Qing is fast enough, but he still can't escape Zhuo Xiulan's eyes.

"I didn't ...... Not...... Nothing was hidden. Zhuo Qing nervously pulled the quilt corner. The doll must not be seen by Zhuo Xiulan, otherwise she will definitely ask where the doll came from, and will order her to return it, and maybe she will be beaten.

The more nervous Zhuo Qing was, the more suspicious Zhuo Xiulan became. She walked to Zhuo Qing's bed and stood still, grabbed the cup and lifted it, and the things hidden under the quilt were visible.

"Mom, I was wrong! I don't dare anymore. In order to escape a flesh and skin pain, Zhuo Qing answered before Zhuo Xiulan opened her mouth to ask. Her body trembled slightly, and she could hear her own "thump" heartbeat because she was so scared. I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for the expected storm. Zhuo Qing raised her head worriedly, and tears slid down Zhuo Xiulan's face. Zhuo Qing lowered her head, she seemed to be able to feel Zhuo Xiulan's disappointment, a deep disappointment in her. Her head hung low, so low that it was buried under the covers. She also loves the doll too much, so she will sneak in and steal it out when the clerk is not paying attention.

"Qing'er, it's my mother who is sorry for you." Zhuo Xiulan picked up Zhuo Qing, who was lying on the bed and shaking her body for fear of it. Pick up a greeting card from the boat. The card, made from cardboard wrapped in cardboard, is dotted with a few unknown wildflowers, and the edges are crudely cut, making it obvious that the card was not bought from a store but handmade. There are a few lines written on the greeting card.

Mom

Happy birthday to you.

Love your youth.

Zhuo Qing looked at Zhuo Xiulan's line of sight in horror, stunned. The doll that had been hidden under the quilt was gone, replaced by a clumsy handmade greeting card. Zhuo Qing is not smart, but he still has the ability to look at people's eyes. She tentatively stretched out her hand, and as soon as she touched Zhuo Xiulan's body, she was tightly hugged by Zhuo Xiulan.

Zhuo Qing was encouraged, she let go of her courage and gently stroked Zhuo Xiulan's back. "Mom, don't cry!" didn't want her to just finish speaking, Zhuo Xiulan cried even louder.

Zhuo Qing put her arm around Zhuo Xiulan's shoulder, her eyes kept searching the room, she wanted to know where the doll had gone. You know, she has to take that doll to the class tomorrow to show off. How beautiful the doll is, with long black hair, white skin, watery eyes, red lips, and wearing a pocket version of Hanfu, not to mention how beautiful and beautiful. She carefully broke out of Zhuo Xiulan's arms, and gently wiped the tears from Zhuo Xiulan's face with her hand. Hurriedly picked up the greeting card on the bed and handed it to Zhuo Xiulan. "Happy birthday, Mom."

Zhuo Xiulan smiled and wiped away her tears, but the greeting card handed by Zhuo Qing couldn't help but caress it. It was the first gift she had received in decades. "Qing'er, mom is so excited."

Zhuo Qing smiled awkwardly, in fact, she didn't know that today was Zhuo Xiulan's birthday, and she didn't know who the greeting card was hiding in her bed. She twisted her body, and it was rare to be coquettish with Zhuo Xiulan once. "Mom, I'm going to sleep. I have class tomorrow. ”

Zhuo Xiulan touched Zhuo Qing's hair and was very pleased. She felt that Zhuo Qing had really grown up and sensible. Just a few days ago, Zhuo Qing was still crying and refusing to go to bed early, and now she doesn't need to urge her. "Qing'er, I'll leave now, you sleep well." Saying that, Zhuo Xiulan walked out of Zhuo Qing's bedroom and closed the door.

Waiting for Zhuo Xiulan's footsteps to go away. Zhuo Qing got out of bed and rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find her doll. She rummaged through the closet, removed the desk, and couldn't see the doll under the bed. Zhuo Qing was very depressed, drooped his face, and sat on the bed. The beloved doll that had just arrived was inexplicably gone. She kicked her desk a few times in vent and lay back on the bed. She kicked the quilt away in annoyance, and if she hadn't covered the doll with the quilt, the doll wouldn't have disappeared. The kicked quilt revealed the place where it had been covered, and the doll stood quietly on it, smiling at the corners of her mouth. “

"Ah, you're here." Zhuo Qing happily picked up the doll and kissed it vigorously on the baby's face. She hugged the doll and fell asleep contentedly.

Zhuo Xiulan took the greeting card that Zhuo Qing gave her back to her room. She sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the greeting card with beaded eyes. This is the first time in 15 years that her daughter has shown her affection, and it is as if she has changed as a different person. Zhuo Xiulan's husband Wu Ze was a migrant worker who came to beg for a living, so he recruited him as a son-in-law because there was no boy in the table family. A few years after they got married, the two were criticized by the villagers because they had no children. Wu Ze is a good-looking person, in order to escape the gossip that the two of them can't have children, he took Zhuo Xiulan to Beiyuan City to settle down despite the obstruction of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Soon after coming to Bukwon City, Zhuo Xiulan became pregnant. Wu Ze was very happy, and used his few salaries to entertain relatives and friends, just to inform everyone: I, Wu Ze, am also a man who can pass on the ancestry.

That day, Wu Ze drank too much, took Zhuo Xiulan's hand and said a lot of heartfelt words. Zhuo Xiulan is also bent on living with Wu Ze. The two are more affectionate because of the child in their wombs.

One day, Zhuo Xiulan was walking on the way back from grocery shopping, and a chattering old woman took her by the hand and led her to a secluded place and said to her mysteriously: "Girl, this child is unacceptable." Otherwise, you and his father will have to die before we can live in peace. ”

Zhuo Xiulan slapped the old woman and took her hand. This child is the child that she and Wu Ze prayed for day and night, and they waited for a long time to get it, and she would not shed the child if she said anything. She glared at the old woman viciously: "I respect you as an old man, so I am polite to you, and I am not welcome if you want to talk nonsense again!" She carried the basket and walked as fast as she could. The partial-born old woman followed her with an iron heart, shouting all the way: "This child is unacceptable!" ”

Zhuo Xiulan walked three miles to get rid of the crazy old woman. Although she didn't care about what the old woman said, after all, she listened to it and went to her heart a little. When Wu Ze came back in the evening, she tentatively said to Wu Ze: "Husband, I conceived this child without knowing it, or should we lose him?" ”

Wu Ze was angry like a crazy bison, and he roared and tore Zhuo Xiulan. Zhuo Xiulan was extremely aggrieved, hiding in the corner and crying quietly. Since then, Zhuo Xiulan no longer dared to have the idea of losing the child, raised the fetus with peace of mind, and waited for the arrival of the child.

When Zhuo Xiulan was about to give birth, Wu Ze was learning to do business with people in sports cars. Zhuo Xiulan was lying in the delivery room, looking at the bright and cold light lamp above her head, and her heart was flustered. The child was born naturally, and he was very cute and chubby. Zhuo Xiulan's mother's family is slightly dissatisfied with the fact that the child is a girl. As soon as Wu Ze came back, he went straight to the hospital. Zhuo Xiulan's father took Wu Ze's hand and said apologetically: "Lan'er has a belly that is not angry, and she gave birth to a girl." The two of you are still young, you are really young and have a few more, and your mother and I will bring you a baby. ”

Wu Ze, who was a father, was already so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, no matter what kind of boy or girl he was. He took his father-in-law's hand and said, "Dad, I like girls." Hello girl, it's the intimate little padded jacket of mom and dad. With that, he ran into the ward to look at his little padded jacket.

"Lan'er, my baby is so good-looking, just like his mother, she is a big beauty!"

Zhuo Xiulan pushed Wu Ze shyly. "The baby hasn't been named yet, so I'm waiting for you to come."

Wu Ze teased the little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, and said without raising his head. "Qing'er, nicknamed Qing'er. When she grows up and goes to school, I will give her a big name. ”

Zhuo Xiulan nodded in agreement. Zhuo Xiulan watched the interaction between Wu Ze and Qing'er and felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. The crazy old woman's words broke into her head out of place, and she shook her head and took out what her wife had said.

"Lan'er, what's wrong?"

Zhuo Xiulan smiled weakly. "Maybe I'm tired."

Wu Ze hurriedly stood up. "Then I won't bother you, you can rest well." As he spoke, he walked towards the door of the ward. "I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes to smoke and get rid of my addiction."

Zhuo Xiulan stretched out her hand and wanted to grab Wu Ze, but Wu Ze staggered and got out of the way. Zhuo Xiulan stretched out her hand, and intuitively felt that Wu Ze was getting farther and farther away from him.

Zhuo Xiulan's mother hurriedly stuffed Zhuo Xiulan back into the quilt. "Lan'er, you can't see the wind. This woman is the most taboo confinement and didn't sit well. Otherwise, you will be sick when you get old. ”

Zhuo Xiulan obediently nested back into the bed. As soon as I closed my eyes and rested for a while, I heard the person in the next bed talking. 、

"Ouch, that one died miserably, and his intestines were all coming out."

"Who's to say it's not, it's still so young!"

"Alas, what a wreck!"

……

Zhuo Xiulan opened her eyes suddenly, and her heart was pounding. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, startling Zhuo's mother. "Lan'er, where are you going?"

"Mom, I'm panicking, I want to find Wu Ze."

Zhuo Mu looked at Zhuo Xiulan disapprovingly. "What can happen to Wu Ze? That's a big guy. But you have to get some rest! ”

Zhuo Xiulan held on and walked to the door of the ward step by step. Zhuo's mother was so anxious that she shouted: "Old man! Old man! You take care of your daughter! For the sake of the man's own body, he didn't care about it. ”

Although Zhuo's father also disapproves of Zhuo Xiulan's cooking, he understands his daughter. That's a character who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back. He picked up his clothes and draped them over Zhuo Xiulan. "Lan'er,, you just let Lan'er go, and let her feel at ease. Otherwise, it's not a way for her to make such a fuss all the time! ”

Zhuo's mother couldn't, so she had to wrap Qing'er in a thick blanket and follow Zhuo Xiulan out of the ward. Zhuo Xiulan moved step by step and moved out of the inpatient building. She looked around and couldn't see Wu Ze. I only saw the crowd on the street in front of me besieging the city. As soon as her feet were weak, she was about to step forward to see what was going on. I only heard a familiar voice calling her: "Lan'er, Lan'er!" ”

Zhuo Xiulan turned around, and Wu Ze stood in front of the canteen opposite, holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand and waving to him. She smiled, and a hanging heart finally let go.

"Lan'er, daughter-in-law. You stand there and wait for me, and I'll go now!" ”

Zhuo Mu also saw Wu Ze, and said reproachfully: "Look, I said he was fine, you want to come." You see, it's hard for my youth. ”

Zhuo Xiulan smiled, only thinking that what Zhuo's mother said was deaf to the wind. She looked at Wu Ze with a smile on her face. Wu Ze also ran towards her happily. "Bang!" The strong impact sound blocked Zhuo Xiulan's smile, and her eyes moved along with Wu Ze's flying and falling body. She stood stunned, forgetting to shout. Wu Ze lay bloody and not far from her feet. She watched, watched, and laughed lowly, and the mad woman's words were finally fulfilled. She looked sideways at the baby in Zhuo's mother's hand and said, "Look, your father is dead!" ”

Zhuo Xiulan's tears were left one by one, dripping on the humble greeting card that Zhuo Qing gave her. Tears soaked the paper, blurring the handwriting on it. Zhuo Xiulan's low crying became more and more, and finally turned into a whimper that she tried to suppress.

When Zhuo Qing was very young, she would always lie to Zhuo Qing, her father was working in other places and had no time to come to see you. After a long time, Zhuo Qing didn't ask. As time passed, Zhuo Qing slowly grew up. She still couldn't let go of what the crazy wife said, which was like a fishbone in her throat.

Zhuo Qing, who has grown up, also seems to realize that Zhuo Xiulan does not love her so much. So the number of times I coquettish her was reduced, and even the simplest communication was just "Mom, I'm back." "Mom, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" Sometimes even "mom" is omitted.

Zhuo Xiulan also wanted to be kind to Zhuo Qing, but when she thought of what the crazy old woman told her, she couldn't be kind to Zhuo Qing.

"Wu Ze, our daughter has grown up, have you seen it?"

If Wu Ze is still alive, Zhuo Xiulan firmly believes that Zhuo Qing will definitely be Wu Ze's most intimate little padded jacket. They will surely be the happiest in the world.

Zhuo Qing sat on the bed, his eyes wide, holding the doll and talking to himself.

"Listen, someone's coming."
