She wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long exhale.

Even if a minute passed, the qiē in the dream just now still made her a little suffocated, and her heart felt like someone had been stabbed, and it hurt one after another.

I gently walked to the window and opened the curtains, only to find that it was still dark outside.

I looked at the clock and realized that I had slept for less than two hours.

The fear of the nightmare made her sleepless at the moment, she went to the bathroom to wash her face, looked at her pale self in the mirror, and couldn't recover for a long time.

Until the cry of Xiao Baozi came from the big bed outside, she hurriedly strode out of the bathroom.

"Xiaobao, what's wrong with this?" An Xiaoshu hugged him distressedly and kept walking around the house, and gently rubbed the soft and smooth skin of the little guy with his cheek from time to time.

But no matter how she coaxed her, Xiaobao, who was originally very well-behaved, kept crying.

Thinking of what happened a few days ago, An Xiaoshu thought that he was sick again, so he quickly found a thermometer and measured it for him, but fortunately he did not have a fever.

"Are you hungry?" Watching the baby cry, An Xiaoshu was also uncomfortable.

She used all the previous experience, and the baby still cried.

Aunt Fugui heard the movement and hurriedly came up to check, "Madam, what's wrong with the baby?" ”

"I don't know, I just keep crying." In the past two months, An Xiaoshu has been taking the baby for a long time, and she has all the experience she should have.

"I'll try." Aunt Fugui said and reached out to take the baby.

"Where's the babysitter?" An Xiaoshu seemed to remember something after asking.

How could she forget, after that had happened a few days ago. The babysitter was overly surprised and never came again.

Now in the whole villa, except for the more heavily guarded special forces outside, only she and Aunt Fugui still have a baby.

"Little master, don't cry." Aunt Fugui also held the baby and coaxed it.

It's just that she can't even help her own mother, let alone her.

The baby's non-stop crying made An Xiaoshu's brain like a mess, and he was completely out of ideas.

"Madam, for the sake of insurance, let's take the baby to the hospital to have a look." Fortunately, Aunt Fugui is more sensible.

"Oh, yes!" She didn't say that An Xiaoshu really didn't think of this stubble, it seems that she really had a problem with her brain, otherwise how could she not think of such a simple solution.

immediately took the baby from Aunt Fugui's arms. She went and got a thicker quilt again. I hurriedly went out.

The doctor examined the baby, raised his eyes and looked at An Xiaoshu like a neuropath, probably very dissatisfied with being suddenly woken up in the middle of the night.

In a cold and formulaic tone, he said, "There is no problem with the child. ”

"Then why does he keep crying?" An Xiaoshu was not in the mood to care about the doctor's attitude and asked.

"Maybe I'm hungry. It could also be a urine. ”

"No!" An Xiaoshu denied it. "I had already checked it when I came out. It can't be a poop. Moreover, he does not drink when he is fed. ”

"It's inevitable for children to cry, and we can't help it." The doctor repeatedly assured that the baby would be fine based on the results of the examination.

If it weren't for Aunt Fugui on the sidelines. An Xiaoshu almost fought with the doctor in a hurry!

In the end, the hospital came forward and changed another doctor with a better temper to explain to An Xiaoshu over and over again, and she finally believed it.

Don't look at her as if she is on top, in fact, she is uncomfortable, if Xiling Ang is there, she doesn't need to come forward at all, because he won't let her suffer a little grievance.

Since when did she become so useless, she couldn't even take care of their babies when he wasn't there.

I tossed around all night inexplicably, and when I got home, it was almost dawn.

The little one seemed to be tired of crying, and finally fell asleep.

An Xiaoshu touched his head and said softly: "Xiaobao, you must be obedient, Dad and brother will be back soon." Ma Ma will always be by your side, don't be afraid. ”

Sitting on the edge of the crib, An Xiaoshu was not sleepy at all, his eyes staring at the half-empty crib, his eyes were empty.

Then she sat in that position until dawn.

During this period, Aunt Fugui called her several times, but she didn't hear it. Aunt Fugui shook her head helplessly and retreated.

An Xiaoshu didn't know how long he had been sitting, but he felt stiff, and there was a slight gurgling sound of the baby in his ears.

The little one woke up and returned to his usual appearance.

An Xiaoshu picked him up and kept rubbing lovingly until the little guy protested.

She really likes to do this movement, and feels that only by sticking it like this can she express her love for the baby.

Thinking that the little guy didn't eat much last night, he should be hungry at this time, so she was busy unbuttoning her clothes and feeding him, probably because she didn't eat too much last night, and the little guy ate very well.

An Xiaoshu supported him with one hand and combed his short hair with the other.

The little one ate to himself, making a small smacking sound.

When he finally had his fill, An Xiaoshu changed his diaper again.

For a small baby, as long as they are full, they don't have to think about anything, and they don't know how scary and capricious their actions last night were.

After packing up the baby, An Xiaoshu took him downstairs to eat, originally planned to have breakfast, but when he looked at the time, he found that it was already 12 o'clock at noon.

She ate something that she didn't know if it was breakfast or lunch, but she instinctively stuffed it into her stomach, not knowing what the food tasted like.

The little one was placed next to her, and the little bag has never left her more than two meters since that day.

In the afternoon, the old man came, and his faltering steps seemed to be ten years old!

"Aang he ......" Seeing her, the old man stopped talking, his voice was a little trembling and hoarse, "Aang, he went." ”

"Where did he go?" An Xiaoshu looked up at him strangely, and didn't react for a while.

"Sacrificed in the line of duty."

Boom, a thunderclap sounded in her head! A heart seemed to be shattered, and the bright red blood was falling drop by drop.

With her mouth open, she collapsed to the ground.

Aunt Fugui went over to help her. She was found just sitting motionless on the ground.

The old man's eyes were also red, and he put a bunch of things that he couldn't see clearly on the coffee table.

An Xiaoshu looked at him and asked slowly, "Others?" ”

"There were no bones left in the explosion, and the soldiers who went with them only brought this back." His gaze fell on a pile of dirt-like things on the coffee table.

"You're lying, it's not him at all!" An Xiaoshu seemed to go crazy in an instant, and swept the pile of inexplicable things to the ground.

Dirt had been swept down all around her.

The old man was startled, and the expression on his face instantly became stern!

I opened my mouth to say something, only to find that my throat was already dry and hoarse, and I really couldn't make a complete tune.

"What about others?" An Xiaoshu didn't look at the dirt scattered all over the ground, and continued to ask.

The old man took a deep breath to stabilize his blood pressure from rising.

He didn't answer An Xiaoshu's words. Just walk over to the crib of the little bun. Picked him up from it and coaxed him softly. Not a word was said about Silingang.

That day, An Xiaoshu never cried, not even shed a single tear.

For the next week, she never left the villa again. Every day, I hold my child and look at the door of the villa.

During this period, a lot of people came to the villa. All of them were in military uniforms. There are people who know and people who don't, some people talk to her, and some people persuade her.

But she never shed a single tear. Didn't say a word, every day except to take care of the baby and eat on time, the rest of the time was standing at the door of the villa.

Because he had promised her that she would come back safely, she would keep waiting until she saw him.

Aunt Fugui's eyes were red, worried that she would not be able to stand holding the child like this all the time, so she finally put a stool there for her to sit on.

People come and go in the villa, day after day.

Later, I heard that Xiling Ang had been buried, but An Xiaoshu still didn't go. Because she felt that that bunch of inexplicable things could not be Xilingang at all!

It is said that you have to see people in life and corpses in death, so before she sees him, she will not believe the old man's words anyway!

Later, the number of people who came to the villa gradually decreased, until no one came again.

Soon, spring passed and summer came.

She never waited for him.

The flowers she bought in the backyard bloomed, and then gradually thanked them again.

Moreover, summer has passed, and winter has quietly arrived.

That year's Chinese New Year's Eve was the loneliest she ever had, and she and Xiaobao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the backyard to count down the New Year. Looking out at the dark sky in a daze.

A few days later, when the baby babbled the word 'Ma Ma', she burst into tears with excitement.

Then more than a year has passed, and Xiling Ang has never returned, but Xiao Jiu has been able to walk crookedly.

Then two years passed, and Xiling Ang still didn't come back, and at that time Xiao Jiu was already able to speak fluently. She wanted to tell him that their baby was smart and mischievous, and as he said, it was up to her.

In the third year, Xilingang still did not come back, but a lot of things happened in the An family. For example, her father was released from prison, the eldest brother came back, and the second brother woke up, and she felt that everything was developing in a good way.

It wasn't until the fourth year passed, and Xiaojia even came back from abroad.

In the fifth year, she finally moved to Xiling's house under the persuasion of the old man.

The night before leaving, she finally cried hysterically in the bedroom holding the military uniform he had once wore! It was the first time in five years that she had cried about him, and she finally believed that he would never come back.

……

Six years later.

Six-year-old Xiao Jiu is already in elementary school.

The first two days of the Mid-Autumn Festival were weekends, and Xiao Jiu's elementary school was closed.

At noon, An Xiaoshu was asked by the old man where he was going to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival.

An Xiaoshu thought for a while and said lightly: "I want to go back to An's house." ”

"Do you want to take Xiao Jiu?" The old man didn't seem surprised, but asked.

"Hmm." She nodded, in a calm tone, "My dad misses Xiao Jiu, let me take advantage of the holiday to bring it back to show him." ”

"Doesn't he have grandchildren of his own?" The old man's tone was a little dissatisfied, as if he was complaining.

A lot has happened in the past six years, and with the return of his eldest brother, all the things he had married have been exposed, and he even came back with two buns by the way.

Although the second brother's temperament has not changed greatly after he woke up. But finally knew how good Liu Rui was, and the two finally achieved a positive result.

"My dad hasn't seen Xiao Jiu a few times a year, so naturally he thinks about it."

In other words, since Xiao Jiu lived in Xiling's house, the old man naturally saw him more often than An's father. Even in those more than three years, even if the old man didn't see him every day, he could still see him when he wanted to, and Father An, let alone see him, it was difficult for her to know his news!

At this point, the old man knows how to measure it even if he is confused. There is no intention of hindering it any longer. Just like Ann Xiaoshu said. Compared with An Shuangba, the old man felt that he still took advantage.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Xiao Jiu, whose eyes were rolling around, asked excitedly: "Ma Ma, are we going to grandpa's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”

"Hmm." An Xiaoshu responded. Reaching out and touching Xiao Jiu's head. Ask him. "How does Xiao Jiu feel about being at Grandpa's house?"

"Will Uncle Namu go too?" Xiao Jiu didn't answer her, but asked.

An Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

The Uncle Mu in Xiao Jiu's mouth is Mu Yang. Probably because I don't have a father. Xiao Jiu has been particularly fond of sticking to Muyang since he was a child, and Muyang also likes him very much, and the two of them can't be intimate every time they meet.

Although she and Mu Yang have nothing to do at all, when asked by Xiao Jiu in front of the old man, she was still inevitably a little embarrassed.

"Maybe." She squeezed out a smile.

As soon as Xiao Jiu heard this, a pair of big eyes immediately flashed with excited little stars, and announced loudly: "That Xiao Jiu wants to go to Grandpa's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

"Got it, eat seriously." Seeing him like this, An Xiaoshu was amused and helpless.

Xiao Jiu looked at her, and hummed dissatisfiedly: "Mom knows that I am not the same as my grandfather, and you haven't eaten well." ”

An Xiaoshu choked on his words.

From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Jiu's personality has been relatively cheerful, which is probably one of the more comforting things An Xiaoshu has been doing for so many years.

But being cheerful also means that the little one is quite naughty. It's really not at all lost when she was a child.

After eating, An Xiaoshu simply packed a few clothes and took Xiao Jiu out.

Xiao Jiutong carried a small schoolbag on the back of his shoes, and one hand was led by An Xiaoshu, and the big and the small went out like that.

When I arrived at An's house, as An Xiaoshu said, Mu Yang was also there.

In fact, An Xiaoshu is not strange at all, because it seems that every time he goes home, Mu Yang just comes over as if he already knew.

An Xiaoshu is not stupid, Mu Yang has been alone for so many years, and he has not even had a girlfriend, plus his love for Xiao Jiu is completely beyond the behavior of an uncle who is not related by blood.

"Uncle Mu!" As soon as he saw Mu Yang, Xiao Jiu was like clockwork, broke free from An Xiaoshu's hand, and ran towards Mu Yang.

An Xiaoshu was speechless, her status as a real mother was really precarious.

"Xiao Jiu, do you miss your uncle?" Mu Yang opened his hands and picked him up after he passed.

"Yes!" Xiao Jiu said and kissed Mu Yang affectionately on the face.

"That's good." Mu Yang touched his head before putting him down, handed him a beautifully packaged box, and said, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

"What is it?" It is the nature of children to like gifts, and Xiao Jiu is no exception, a pair of big eyes immediately flashed with starlight, and he was busy and began to open gifts, "Wow, it's Transformers!" ”

"Xiao Jiu, why are you so rude? There is no thank you Uncle Mu. Looking at his appearance, An Xiaoshu said sternly.

The little guy stuck out his tongue and said with a busy smile: "Thank you, Uncle Mu!" ”

The expression on An Xiaoshu's face softened, and he said to Mu Yang: "Brother Mu, you don't have to buy gifts for him every time, you will spoil the child." ”

"No, Xiao Jiu is so well-behaved." Mu Yang had a gentle smile on his face, and he put a hand on the little guy's shoulder and patted it gently.

"That's it! I'm so well-behaved. Xiao Jiu interjected, holding the gift he had just received in one hand, and grimacing at An Xiaoshu with the other, "Ma Ma is stingy, don't buy me anything!" If you don't buy it for me, you won't allow others to buy it for me. ”

The little guy's exaggerated funny actions made the people in the room laugh.

The frown on Daddy An's smiling face deepened, "Good baby, our Xiaojiu is really exactly the same as when you were a child!" ”

"Where's the like? I'm not as naughty as him! An Xiaoshu defended herself, and she almost vomited blood and glared at the little guy. Little Nine! ”

As An's father said, Xiao Jiu really got her true biography, and she really didn't worry about it since she was a child.

"Ma Ma is angry again." The little guy said, running to Mu Yang's side, as if he was making a small report.

What do you call again? Anyuer is made to cry and laugh by the little guy every day! In the past, Xiao Jiuxiao could still pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, but now the little guy has seen a lot and is not afraid of her at all.

"Besides, believe it or not, I'm going to beat you?" But apart from this, she couldn't think of anything to restrain this little thing.

"I'm not afraid, Uncle Mu is here to help me! He won't let Ma Ma beat me. "The little guy is full of confidence, and a pair of big eyes look clever.

How old the child. Do you know how to find the backstage?

An Xiaoshu took a deep breath. A smile squeezed out of his face, "You...... You come here. ”

"Don't!" After Xiao Jiu finished speaking, he hurriedly hid behind Mu Yang and poked out a small head.

Seeing the two bickering like this, Mu Yang's face was full of smiles. Squatted down and helped the little one. "Little Jiu. Don't talk to Ma Ma like that. ”

"Oh." Xiao Jiu dragged out his voice and responded unwillingly, "Uncle Mu is eccentric." I know how to help Ma Ma. ”

"Ma Ma is concerned about Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu should listen to Ma Ma's words, do you know?" Mu Yang said.

"Got it." Xiao Jiu pouted and muttered in a low voice, "Don't think I don't know when I'm young." ”

"What do you know?" An Xiaoshu's face twitched and glared at him.

"Don't think I don't know that Uncle Mu likes Ma Ma!" was asked by An Xiaoshu, Xiao Jiu suddenly said it loudly. The little guy doesn't understand the world of adults, and he doesn't have any worries, he says whatever comes to mind.

But as soon as his words fell, the atmosphere in the whole room froze.

An Xiaoshu's face was embarrassed. It's one thing to know something, but it's another thing to say it in front of so many people.

"Xiao Jiu, I'm angry when I talk nonsense again!" An Xiaoshu made a straight face and reprimanded him. smiled at Mu Yang embarrassedly, pretending to be stupid and said, "Xiao Jiu is not sensible, don't you mind." ”

Mu Yang had a bitter smile on his face, and asked tentatively, "Girl, what if I tell you the truth?" ”

Is this a confession? A widow with her? Still in front of the whole family?

An Xiaoshu's old face was flushed, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

"Look, I'll just say it!" The little guy spread his hands like an adult, his eyes purring, "I knew that the second uncle didn't lie to me." ”

Second uncle?! An Xiaoshu suddenly thought of something.

"Ankai—"

Suddenly, an earth-shattering cry of ghosts and gods sounded in the Anjia villa!

This sound startled several birds that stopped in the treetops outside.

Of course, at this time, Comrade An Kai no longer knew where to go.

Taking advantage of Mu Yang's guidance for Xiao Jiu's homework below, An Xiaoshu stuffed a few clothes he brought into the closet.

The qiē in the house is all familiar, and it hasn't changed at all in the past six years. From girl to woman to child.

She didn't want to go down to face Mu Yang, so she locked herself in her room.

As soon as I got into bed, there was a knock on the door.

An Xiaoshu's heart jumped, "Who?" ”

"Girl, it's me." Mu Yang answered softly.

An Xiaoshu suddenly got up from the bed, rubbed his tired face, and took several deep breaths before opening the door, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Can I go in and sit?" He asked softly.

An Xiaoshu looked at him for a few seconds and stepped out of the way, "Come in." ”

The two sat down on the sofa in the room.

Mu Yang didn't have too much euphemism, looking at her with a firm gaze, "Girl, what Xiao Jiu said today ......"

"You know, I won't take it to heart!" An Xiaoshu replied with a smile, the expression on his face calm.

"Then what if I sue you for so many years and I haven't changed from you to you?" Mu Yang didn't mind her interruption at all and continued.

An Xiaoshu looked at his expression a little strangely, and always felt that today's Muyang was different from the past. At the same time, there is also a bad premonition in my heart.

I saw that Mu Yang's expression was very strict, facing her, "Girl, I like you, it hasn't changed for so many years, let me take care of you and Xiao Jiu!" ”

Mu Yang's sudden words startled An Xiaoshu for a while, and she stood up and looked at him in disbelief.

"I like Xiao Jiu very much, Xiao Jiu needs a father." As he spoke, he took a step forward and reached out to shake hers.

Startled, An Xiaoshu took two steps back and instinctively avoided him.

As if someone had poked some secrets in his heart, An Xiaoshu's face immediately sank, "Brother Mu, I hope these words will not be heard a second time, Xiao Jiu has always had only one father, it was before, it is now, and it will be in the future!" No one can replace him! ”

"I'm not trying to replace him, I just want to take care of you and Xiao Jiu." Seeing her like this, Mu Yang was anxious to explain.

"I'm doing well, I don't need anyone to take care of me." Her tone was cold, with a hint of anger.

"What about Xiao Jiu? You can't bear that he hasn't had a father all the time? As if he had made some kind of decision, Mu Yang looked at her without hesitation.

"That's our family business!" For the first time, An Xiaoshu used that unfamiliar tone to Mu Yang. At the end, it was as if he was saying to him, and as if he was muttering, "He'll be back, he promised me!" ”

"He's dead!"

"Shut up!" That word undoubtedly touched An Xiaoshu's bottom line in her heart, so she couldn't help but roar loudly, "He will come back, he promised me!" (To be continued......)

PS: The last abuse. Boom!
