"Mr. Xu checked his body yesterday, and today the hospital has a result, saying that it is an advanced stage of stomach cancer."

Bai Xiao's footsteps faltered, Yu Zhanming raised his eyelids and glanced at her back: "If you receive chemotherapy, you can live for a year and a half, if you are, I'm afraid it won't last for two months." ”

She knew that Yu Zhanming deliberately said this to herself, and as for what her intentions were, she found that she suddenly didn't want to think about it further.

When Bai Xiao went downstairs, Yu Shaoting had just arrived, took off his suit jacket and threw it on the back of the sofa.

Yu Jingxi's whole body was nested in the sofa, and the little fat hand twisted a string of green grapes, eating green grapes everywhere, occasionally giggling and laughing.

Mrs. Yu came out of the kitchen with a large pot of soup and beckoned her youngest son to wash his hands and prepare for dinner.

Yu Shaoting unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, looked up and saw Bai Xiao coming down, looking at her appearance, his feelings were not very high, and he didn't go to the bathroom immediately, after she came down, he walked over, looked down at her softly, and his voice was also very gentle: "What's wrong?" Bowl"

"It's nothing, I'll tell you when I get home." Bai Xiao didn't want to spoil the lively and happy atmosphere at home, so he swept away the solemnity on his face, changed his smile, gently pushed him with both hands, and said to the little guy in the living room: "Jingxi, go wash your hands with your father." ”

Seeing that she didn't want to say, Yu Shaoting didn't ask any more, but just shook her shoulder comfortingly.

……

At dinner, Yu Zhanming came down, saw the third couple sitting side by side, put on their faces again, saw Yu Jingxi, and immediately stretched out his hand: "Come to grandpa." ”

Since learning about Yu Jingxi's birth, Yu Zhanming's feelings for this child have become more complicated, and in addition to love, he is more distressed.

Holding Yu Jingxi on his lap, the veteran general, who had been in the ascendancy for decades, asked his grandson what he wanted to eat with a kind expression.

Especially Yu Jingxi, who has cut his hair, has red lips and white teeth, and is soft, Yu Zhanming's heart is soft, and he is carved out of the same mold as when he was a child.

Speaking of his youngest son, the bright smile on Yu Zhanming's face disappeared in an instant.

When she was about to finish eating, Mrs. Yu suddenly said: "This afternoon, Lan Ming and his sister-in-law were at home, and they had an idea with me, since the junior and Xiaoxiao have already received their certificates, they should also pick a time to make up for the wedding." ”

Bai Xiao raised her head when she heard the word 'wedding', and it happened that the old lady asked her: "Xiaoxiao, do you like Chinese weddings or Western styles?" ”

“……”

This topic came too suddenly, Bai Xiao didn't know how to answer, and turned his head to look at the man next to him.

Yu Shaoting's hand was already covered on the back of her hand, his finger bones were elegant, white and slender under the light: "Regarding the wedding, we will go back to discuss it carefully, in this regard, my mother has more experience than us, and when the time comes, I am afraid that I will still trouble you." ”

Yu Shaoting's mouth tonight was like smearing honey, one 'mom' in one mouthful, shouting so that Mrs. Yu smiled, and she couldn't find the north.

Yu Zhanming coughed dryly and kicked his wife under the table.

Why didn't he know about the wedding?

As a result, Mrs. Yu smiled away, and as for the small movements under the table, she didn't care at all, and completely ignored Chief of General Staff Yu.

……

After the report of the weekly magazine came out, the Yu family's family can also be described with the word 'chaos', and in those two days, the old lady deliberately did not let Bai Xiao come over.

The morning before, Mrs. Yu answered the phone, and the person on the other end asked: "What the hell is going on, how did the third wife's become the daughter-in-law of the Pei family?" ”

The next morning - "Third sister-in-law, someone asked me last night, who has a relationship between the third wife of our family and the Pei family, is it really fake?" ”

On the third day, "The third child really seduced/seduced the widowed daughter-in-law of the Pei family in her early fifties?!" ”

On the fourth day, Pei Qiyou's sentence 'My ex-wife is actually the adopted daughter of the Pei family' came out, no matter how fierce the rumors were, they were self-defeating.

When Yu Lanming and Mrs. Yu went to the door, before the two spoke, Mrs. Yu took a tissue and sniffed, and tears fell down, shocking the two on the spot. Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Yu snorted and tearfully told her sister-in-law and sister-in-law that Bai Xiao was Yu Jingxi's mother.

After Yu Lanming and Mrs. Yu heard this, they looked at each other, and it was difficult to digest the truth for a while.

But then they all thought that when Bai Xiao came to the house that time, Yu Jingxi protected her so much, and it was really a constant mother-son relationship.

"Then why didn't she come to find the child after all these years?" Yu Lanming listened to Mrs. Yu's story and raised his doubts.

Mrs. Yu Da has already answered for her younger siblings: "This is understandable, when Shuyuan passed away, she was young, and she was probably frightened, who didn't make a mistake when she was young, she was separated from her children over the years, I'm afraid this is not comfortable." Instead of looking into the past, it is better to grasp the present. ”

Old Lady Yu nodded again and again.

The most relieved thing for Mrs. Yu was that these media reports did not shake the fact that Bai Xiao and Su Manrong were mother and daughter.

Then, naturally, the topic came to the wedding.

In Yu Lanming's words: "The two of them are dignified and upright certificates, why don't they have a wedding?" Just take advantage of this wedding banquet to invite all the guests who should be invited, and do as much as you can to be as lively as possible, and completely smash those rumors outside! ”

Mrs. Yu sent Yu Lanming and Mrs. Yu away, turned around, and excitedly went to look through the calendar to see what day was suitable for marriage.

――――――――――

In the evening, when the family of three left the compound, Yu Zhanming called Mrs. Yu into the study and gave a strict ideological education.

"Jiang Huizhi, can you live a little more confused?"

Yu Zhanming looked at his wife who pouted and didn't know what was wrong, thinking about the news he got in the afternoon, Xu Hongyang was seriously ill, Bai Xiao was still reluctant to see this grandfather, and the surrogacy matter was not easy to put on the table casually. Xu Shuyuan, Bai Xiao's cousin, is her last daughter-in-law. Besides, the dead are great, what else can be said?

It seems to be harmonious, but in fact, there are still many contradictions that have not been dealt with.

"You said yourself, where do you want Bai Xiao to marry from now for the wedding?"

"Bai Xiao still refuses to admit Xu Liu, everyone knows that she is the child of the Xu family, when the time comes, whose hand will she hold into the auditorium?"

"And Shuyuan's parents, aren't you slapping them in the face when you're doing this now? When the time comes, it will only deepen the contradictions between each other! ”

Mrs. Yu was a little unhappy: "Yu Zhanming, you can't talk about me, it seems that you were the one who was in a hurry to hold a wedding for her son last time, right?" ”

Before the words fell, Yu Zhanming drove Mrs. Yu out of the study, slammed the door of the book, out of sight!

The last time was the last time, and he didn't know it at that time, can it be compared with now?

――――――――――

On the other side, on the way back to Qinyuan, Bai Xiao looked out the window, a little distracted.

Wedding, every woman, in her youth, has a dream of wearing a beautiful wedding dress, sitting in the room, waiting for the handsome groom to come and marry.

She thought that she would never have the opportunity to wear a wedding dress again in her life.

The first time, it was a sudden change and missed the opportunity, and then she and Pei Qiyou tortured each other, and they had long lost their initial expectations for the wedding.

After registering with Yu Shaoting, because there were too many concerns, the wedding was shelved at the beginning.

……

In the evening, lying in Yu Shaoting's arms, Bai Xiao privately expressed his opinion on the wedding: "Actually, it's quite good now." ”

"Why do I think you're so satisfied?" Yu Shaoting hugged her and tightened his arms.

Bai Xiao pillowed his steady arm: "Contentment is always happy, sometimes the more greedy you are, in the end, even what you have may be lost." ”

So, she would rather be a little woman who is content with the status quo.

If he is just an ordinary man, she is also an ordinary second-married woman, and she doesn't mind having a wedding and feasting relatives and friends on both sides.

But the actual situation is - he is the third son of the Yu family, and her identity is even more complicated, if the wedding is held, many relationships will be spread out to the sun.

Moreover, she is now, in the eyes of some insiders, she is still a third party who destroys her cousin's marriage.

"You say, when the time comes, will someone throw eggs in my face?" Bai Xiao suddenly imagined the picture of her being thrown rotten eggs in her wedding dress, and found it funny.

Yu Shaoting's big hand stroked her long silky hair: "If you really want that, Jing Xi and I will stand in front of you." ”

Bai Xiaowaner, his head was suddenly turned around, and he looked into the two pools of deep black eyes, Yu Shaoting looked at her beautiful and moving facial features by the soft light, she had a peaceful smile on her lips, and it was easy to be satisfied, he lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"This is what you should have, you are my wife, you should have a wedding, you don't have to think about others, just for yourself and me."

It's a phrase that's more like a promise than a love word.

Bai Xiao buried her head in his shoulder, looked past him, looked at the window, the bright moonlight poured through the curtain on the carpet, she flickered her eyes, a faint smile on her lips, remembering the stupid things she had said when she was young.

She left his embrace and sat up, her straight black hair ruffled to her left shoulder, smiling as she looked at the man still lying there.

"You may not know, I was actually quite a nymphomaniac when I was very young, and when I saw the moonlight treasure box, I was like other girls, thinking about what Zixia Fairy said all day long, thinking that I was unique in this world, and I should be able to charm a lot of people of the opposite sex, and finally there was an excellent man who married me home."

Yu Shaoting didn't speak, just looked at her intently.

Bai Xiao smiled a little shyly, really like a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, she held his hand, slender fingers, small and delicate, holding his big hand, her gaze on his face was affectionate and gentle: "I didn't expect that one day there would really be a day when it will be realized." ”

Yu Shaoting held her hand firmly and hugged her into his arms again: "In the middle of the night, you are confessing to me when you say it so sensationally?" ”

He thought she would be as embarrassed as she had always been, but she nodded and acknowledged.

She said: "Yu Shaoting, I'm confessing to you, I like you, I don't know when I started, I can't do without you." ”

Yu Shaoting heard her say this seriously, and suddenly laughed, and laughed out loud.

"Laughing at what?" Bai Xiao felt that it was the first time for him to summon up the courage to confess to a man, but in exchange for laughter, it hurt his face a little.

“…… It's nothing. Yu Shaoting looked at her with a smile.

Bai Xiao no longer bothered with him, curled up beside him, no sleep, and after a moment of silence, she spoke: "Dad said that he had stomach cancer." ”

"Who?" Yu Shaoting immediately understood why she was depressed when she was in the compound.

The news about Xu Hongyang's illness is still closed, and even Xu Hongyang himself conceals it, except for the Xu family, only a very small number of people know about it.

Yu Zhanming obviously didn't tell his youngest son either.

Whether it was Xu Jingyan or Xu Hongyang, Bai Xiao didn't know what was the most appropriate title for herself, when Yu Shaoting asked, she just vaguely used 'that person's father' instead of another title, Yu Shaoting was silent for a while, and asked her, "When did it happen?" ”

"The examination done yesterday, and the report from the hospital today, is that the cancer is terminal."

Bai Xiao's voice was a little low and hoarse: "Although I also have some resentment against them, I never thought that anyone would leave in this way." ”

Especially, after just getting involved with the Xu family with her.

No matter how much she denies it, no matter how indifferent she pretends to be, the feeling in her heart can't deceive people, she will have emotional fluctuations for the affairs of the Xu family, and she finds that she is tending to be soft-hearted little by little, instead of being as firm in her thoughts as she was at the beginning. Whether it is for Xu Jingyan or Xu Hongyang's condition.

"Do you want to visit Xu Lao in the capital?" Yu Shaoting broke the layer of paper with a word.

Bai Xiao shook his head: "I don't know, it's just that I'm a little uncomfortable, that's why I'll sue you, maybe it's good to say it." ”

Yu Shaoting's big hand caressed her back: "Put these things aside, sleep well, you just need to remember that I will be on your side for any decision you make, and Jingxi, we will always be by your side." ”

Before falling asleep, Bai Xiao squeezed his hand and shook it gently: "About the wedding, give me a little time, and when the time comes, I will definitely tell you." ”

Yu Shaoting hugged her tightly and silently agreed to her request.

――――――――――

The next day, until the evening, Shirahiro did not receive any calls from the capital.

is no longer like the previous two times, this time Xu Hongyang was sick, but no one from the Xu family came to report to her.

Even Yu Jingxi saw Bai Xiao's absent-mindedness, and asked while eating pancakes, "Do you have something on your mind?" Need my help? ”

Bai Xiao touched his little head and opened her mouth to a six-year-old child who was gobbling up a pancake, but she didn't know how to express her feelings.

In the evening, when Yu Shaoting came back from work, Bai Xiao told him his plans: "Tomorrow I want to go back to Liyang to see my grandmother." ”

These days, Yu Shaoting can't leave his work.

He originally wanted to send Yang Xi to accompany her, but she refused, and repeatedly promised him that he would pay attention to safety, not scramble with others, and avoid crowded places.

……

After Bai Xiao arrived in Liyang, he walked out of the high-speed rail station and took a taxi directly to the hospital.

Grandma's complexion is much better than the last time, and Xiao Wu's sister-in-law said that the old man has been saying that he wants to be discharged from the hospital these days and wants to go home to see the vegetables in the field.

Bai Xiao pushed open the door of the ward and entered, and her grandmother seemed to be surprised when she saw her, and the first thing she said was: "Why are you here again?" ”

Xiao Wu's sister-in-law laughed on the side: "It's not that you are filial to your old age, now, there are very few such children." ”

The old man seemed to be going downstairs to bask in the sun on weekdays, Bai Xiao helped Xiao Wu's sister-in-law push her grandmother down together, and the grandparents and grandchildren sat in the sun and chatted.

"Two days ago, I saw your father."

Bai Xiao peeled oranges, and the old man sighed: "Creation makes people, one person's selfish desires have harmed so many people, I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate." ”

One afternoon, the grandparents and grandchildren talked without a pair, and in the evening, Bai Xiao left, and she bought a ticket to return to Fengcheng at seven o'clock in the evening.

The day came and went.

As soon as Bai Xiao got on the train, he received a call from Yu Shaoting, he said, "Call me when you arrive, I'll pick you up at the station." ”

"Okay." Bai Xiao held his mobile phone, looked at the night scene that was regressed because of the train, and said in a low voice: "Yu Shaoting, I miss you." ”

She didn't know if he heard it, so when she put away her phone and looked out the window again, her heart was warm, no longer as lonely as Fang Cai.

―――――― author has something to say――――――――

The above 5,000 words, the following is the small theater "Parents' Conference" presented

When Yu Shaoting was seven years old, as soon as he entered elementary school, he became the most troublesome child in the class.

In just one school year, Yu Shaoting has carried his crossbody bag, changed from the first class of the first grade to the last class, and was finally transferred back to the first class by relying on the relationship.

The head teacher stared at him wide-eyed, turned around, and Yu Shaoting got into trouble again.

Finally one day, the head teacher couldn't bear it anymore, pointed to Yu Shaoting and said, "Tomorrow's parent-teacher meeting, your parents must be there." ”

"My parents are not at home these days, can other relatives do it?" Seven-year-old Yu Shaoting is still very cute and innocent in appearance.

The head teacher nodded, coming to relatives is not better than coming people, and finally when Yu Shaoting left, he specially emphasized: "Your relatives must come tomorrow." ”

In those days, Yu Zhanming and his wife did go out, but there was a two-year-old cousin of Yu Shaoting at home, and that night, Yu Shaoting stared at the cousin who kept drooling and smirking for a long, long time.

Early in the morning of the second day, taking advantage of the nanny's inattention, Yu Shaoting embarked on the road of no return to the parent-teacher conference with his cousin behind his back
