104. Servings
In the blink of an eye, it was winter, and when I opened the window and looked out, I saw snowflakes floating outside the house.
In City B, where snow is uncommon, Nan Nan curiously leaned on the window and looked out of the window, her little apple-like face was reflected in the window, and the hot air she exhaled dissolved a piece of the fog from the window.
"Mom, I want to have fun!"
Nowadays, Nan Nan has been able to express herself more fluently, as if she has completely stepped out of the shadow of childhood.
It's just that Nan Nan still doesn't look as lively as other children of this age. Gu Shuhan is busy with work, and he has very little time to accompany her every day, if he can have a meal with her or tell her a bedtime story, it is already very good, so Gu Shuhan often feels guilty about Nannan.
Fortunately, Nannan is a sensible child, she doesn't cry or make trouble, and she never makes excessive demands, Gu Shuhan and Gu's mother pity her even more because of this, and rarely refuse her requests.
Gu Shuhan wrapped a thick layer of clothes for Nannan, and held her little hand: "I can only go out to play for a while." "The child's resistance is weak, and she is afraid that if she stays outside for a long time, she will get sick.
"Hmm!" Nan Nan nodded vigorously and smiled brightly.
The snow in City B is not heavy, and the time is not long, and it is the limit that a snow can cover the ground thinly. She squatted on the ground, holding the crystal snowflakes together with both hands, as if holding a pile of treasures, she turned her head and said to Gu Shuhan: "Mom, build a snowman!" ”
Nannan's little nose was red from the cold, but her interest did not diminish in the slightest.
"Okay, mom help you." Gu Shuhan learned from the girl, gathered a handful of snowflakes in one place, and did this and so several times, her hands were already frozen to the point of sluggishness, I really don't know how those big snowmen who climbed with people were piled up,
It's not all like this, it's all piled up by hand little by little, right? Gu Shuhan thought about it without a match.
In the end, she and Nannan only set up a small half ball, and as for the snowman, they didn't even see a shadow. Fortunately, Nannan didn't care about this, probably because she was tired of playing, and she was probably frozen, in short, as soon as Gu Shuhan let her into the house, she happily followed behind Gu Shuhan and acted as a little tail.
When she walked to the door, Nan Nan suddenly remembered something, and lowered her head a little lost: "Mom, that uncle who always comes to our house, why doesn't he come now?" I want to play with him. ”
Gu Shuhan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and after such a reminder, she remembered that she had indeed not seen Bai Yu for a long time. Previously, Hua Guo was at war with Japan, and then went to Mongolia, Bai Yu was too busy to see anyone, which is reasonable, after all, although he is not a member of the government or the army, he is inextricably linked with the two.
As for her, in the war, she devoted almost all her energy to the development of aircraft, and the remaining small part of her energy was also used to ensure the performance of those aircraft in the army. Her factory was constantly exporting fuel supplies and spare parts for the fleet, and she was too busy to think about anything else.
However, now that she suddenly stopped, she was suddenly a little dazed after her daughter's reminder. I don't know why I feel empty, and I miss Bai Yu a little.
Gu Shuhan exhaled, watching the mass of qi appear in the air and quickly dissipate, her heart was a little more enlightened.
It turned out that Bai Yu had never been doing useless work. He seems to have done a lot of meaningless things, but in fact, he is using this kind of moisturizing and silent means, step by step, invading her life. Look, she is used to his cunning, to his chatter, to her company, once he is not by her side, isn't she not used to it?
It's just that Bai Yu always used Nannan as a guise before, constantly coming to their house as a guest, playing with Nannan, and seeing that Nannan liked Bai Yu, and thinking that Nannan had not enjoyed a day of fatherly love, he acquiesced to his arrival. His quiet disappearance is like his quiet arrival, without a trace. But in this process, only those who are affected?
"Mom......" Nan Nan carefully tugged at Gu Shuhan's sleeve: "When will Uncle come?" Uncle will come, right? "That person will bring her fun toys, will bring her delicious snacks, will tell her fairy tales, will put her on his shoulders and carry her to enjoy the feeling of 'Feifei', lying on his back, she will always feel extremely relieved.
In all fairness, Gu Shuhan and Gu's mother love Nannan enough, however, there are some things that they can't give to Nannan, as women.
Nan Nan tilted her head, and a pair of big bright eyes looked at Gu Shuhan with longing, hoping to get a positive answer from her. Gu Shuhan was silent for a moment, and said to Nannan: "I don't know, Nannan, I can't answer this question." ”
Nan Nan couldn't understand the thinking of adults, but she understood Gu Shuhan's refusal. The flower-like smile quickly withered, and Gu Shuhan couldn't bear it for a while, she squatted down, picked up her daughter's little face, and asked seriously: "Nannan, do you really like uncle?" ”
"Well, I love it!"
"That's... Mom promised that Mom would try her best to help her find her uncle, okay? ”
"Good!" Nannan's face finally put on a smile again: "Mom must help Nannan find her uncle!" ”
The child is forgetful, but after so long, she still remembers Bai Yu, and insists on asking Gu Shuhan to help her find Bai Yu, which shows what an important person Bai Yu played in her growth. At this point, Gu Shuhan had to admit that Bai Yu had done a very successful job.
However, so far, she has not sorted out the relationship between her and Bai Yu. For a long time, in her eyes, Bai Yu was just a collaborator, at most, a familiar friend.
It's not that she doesn't know that Bai Yu has a good impression of her, but she didn't plan to start a relationship at that time, and she didn't think that Bai Yu's temporary infatuation could last long. After she rejected Bai Yu, Bai Yu did not chase after her, which really relieved her, and it would be a pity if she lost a reliable partner because of this incident.
Fortunately, Bai Yu knew how to be measured, and after being rejected by her, he did not chase and beat her, but got along with her like a real friend and helped her take care of her daughter. So far, Gu Shuhan can't figure out when such an inextricable relationship began between them. The invisible threads that connect them together, whether it is Nannan, her, or the fact that they are getting deeper and deeper into each other's careers, they are all netted into it.
And it wasn't until the moment when he let go of everything and truly experienced the feeling of being away for a long time that Gu Shuhan realized that the other party was becoming more and more important in his heart.
Although she promised to help her find Bai Yu, Gu Shuhan looked at the phone in the hall and fell into deep thought. All along, it seems that Bai Yu is contacting her, or it is needed for work, the secretaries of the two have negotiated with each other early to arrange the meeting time, Gu Shuhan does not have Bai Yu's personal phone, but he has never called.
And once she dials this number, in what capacity and what position should she ask Bai Yu to help her take care of the child? Friend? Work partner? None of that sounds.
Gu Shuhan's mood suddenly became irritable.
"Shu Han, it's so late, still not sleeping?" In the corridor, there was a voice of concern. Only then did Gu Shuhan realize that before he knew it, it was completely dark.
Gu's mother took a piece of clothing, draped it on Gu Shuhan's body, and said with a little reproach: "You kid, you don't know how to pay attention to your body." On such a cold day, I sat for so long, and I was not afraid of catching a cold! ”
"It's okay, Mom, don't worry, I'm measured, I'll go rest in a while."
Parents in the world are probably like this, even if their children don't have to worry about it, they still can't help but worry that their children are careless and can't take care of themselves.
Gu's mother is not a strong woman, after listening to Gu Shuhan's words, she didn't continue to argue with her on this issue, but just handed Gu Shuhan a cup of ginger soup: "Go to the cold, look at your cold hands." ”
Gu Shuhan did not refuse Gu's mother's kindness, took the ginger soup and drank it all, his body was indeed much warmer, and he only listened to Gu's mother: "What did I tell you in the afternoon...... What do you think in your heart? ”
Gu Shuhan paused, and then put the bowl on the table casually: "What do you think?" I don't quite understand what you mean. I promised that I would invite Bai Yu to come to see her occasionally when she was free, and that's all. ”
"Mom's age is up, but her eyes don't spent. If the mother can't even see that her daughter is upset because of a stinky boy, the mother will be a mother in vain. Gu's mother sighed and said, "Mom knows, these days, it is not easy for you to pick up such a big burden alone, Mom hopes that you can have someone around you who knows the warmth and cold, and can care for you and love you for Mom in places that Mom can't take care of." ”
"Mom......" Gu Shuhan just wanted to say something, but was restrained by Gu's mother: "Shuhan, you listen to your mother, your mother knows that you are very strong, even if you don't have a man, you can still live well, but you are the same age as a flower, my mother can't bear to watch you be alone all the time, carrying such a heavy burden!" After all, people can't be like machines, no matter how strong you are, you will be tired and tired. In order not to worry about my mother and Nannan, you never refuse to tell us, and my mother will be distressed......" Speaking of this, Gu's mother choked up a little: "Mom doesn't ask for anything, just wants someone to share a little pressure for you, or, even when you are in a bad mood, talk to you and solve your problems, and Mom will be content." ”
"Bai Yu's kid, my mother has been watching coldly for many days, not to mention his background for the time being, but his character is nothing to say, it is by no means Qin Zhihong's sanctimonious like, for you, for Nannan, he is still sincere. If you think you can, you might as well look around with him, and in the words of you young people, what is this called free love? Mom said these words, not to give you any burden, Mom just wants to see how you are doing......"
Speaking of which, Gu's mother was already a little incoherent, but Gu Shuhan understood what she meant, she held Gu's mother's slender hand with her backhand, and said, "Mom, I'll think about it carefully, let me think about it again......"
