The past of the year
Shiyan drove to Z City overnight, taking the whole high-speed, but not slow, it took more than three hours to get to Z City, and then according to Shao Minzhi's guidance, he drove directly to the town where Shao Minzhi's aunt was in the nursing home.
When Shi Yan and Shao Minzhi arrived in the town, it was already close to midnight in the evening, and of course the nursing home was not visited at this time, so he and Shao Minzhi could only find a hotel in the town and open two rooms to live in.
When Shi Yan registered, he unexpectedly found that there were three signatures in the first two lines of his line, so he asked with a little surprise: "Does this An Muhibiscus live here with you?" ”
"Yes," the waiter glanced at Shi Yan, and then asked vigilantly, "What are you asking others to do?" Every man lives in his own shop. ”
"Then is this resident An Mu Hibiscus a young girl in her twenties?" Shi Yan asked again: "From Bincheng, her ID number is xxxxx"
The waiter saw that Shi Yan said An Mujian's ID number word for word, and asked with a little surprise: "Who are you?" Da"
"Oh, I'm her friend," Shi Yan almost said that it was her husband, and then pointed to Shao Minzhi beside her: "This is her mother, we are here to find her." ”
The waiter glanced at Shao Min, then handed them the two room cards, and then spit out lightly: "She lives on the fourth floor 402, I guess she should have slept, I saw how tired she looked when she came." ”
"Xie Lu Xie," Shi Yan took the room card and handed it to Shao Min, and then walked towards the stairs next to him with Shao Minyi.
Because it is a hotel in the town, although it has six floors, there is still no elevator, so travelers have to take the stairs to go up.
Shi Yan's room was on the fifth floor, Shao Minzhi's was on the third floor, Shao Minzhi thought that Mu Hibiscus had already fallen asleep, and he didn't want to disturb her rest, so he didn't go up to the fourth floor, and told each other when he and Shi Yan were separated on the third floor.
Shi Yan was about to pass by the fourth floor when he went up the fifth floor, he hesitated for a moment at the top of the stairs, and finally couldn't help but walk to the door of 402, and put his ear to the door to listen to the sound inside.
But it was quiet inside, there was no sound, he sighed softly, it seemed that she was really tired, she should have fallen asleep.
In the end, he didn't knock on the door, but quietly turned around and walked upstairs, thinking that he would get up at seven o'clock in the morning, hoping to be with her, no matter what he was about to face?
Hibiscus did fall asleep, she didn't sleep on the train the first night because she bought a hard seat, and the next day she ran around in Z City for another day, so she went to bed after staying in the hotel and simply washed up.
People can fall asleep anywhere when they are extremely sleepy, this sentence is still empirical, in fact, hibiscus usually has the habit of choosing a bed, but when the sleepiness is extreme, that habit has long flown away.
But before she went to bed, she didn't forget that she was going to visit her grandmother in the nursing home tomorrow, and the nursing home said that she could only visit after 9 o'clock in the morning, so she slept until 8 o'clock in the morning and didn't get up.
When she came downstairs to settle the bill, the waiter told her with a smile: "Miss An, someone has already settled your account for you." ”
Did someone settle the account for her? Mu Hibiscus was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look out of the hall door, and found that Shi Yan was standing at the door waiting for her.
She couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart, he was a child in the end, thinking that when she married him, he had given full play to the advantages of his son and separated her household registration book directly from Fang Yichen's household registration book.
Now, she came to the city without a word, didn't leave a word for anyone, and her phone was turned off all the time, she thought that no one would find her.
But the children are different, and I don't know if the monitoring of the train station can be checked by Lu Dao, she slept all night in Z City, and Ren Shiyan came over.
"It's different to be a child," Mu Hibiscus said lightly to Shi Yan, who was standing in front of him: "If I'm not mistaken, yesterday was supposed to be the wedding between you and your princess Xixi, and last night the two of you should have spent candles in the cave room, did you leave the bride and came to me, did you want to push me to the position of junior again?" ”
Shi Yan smiled and didn't argue with her, but said softly: "Let's wait for two more minutes, your mother will buy breakfast, and then you will go to the nursing home after breakfast." ”
"My mother?" Mu Hibiscus was a little surprised, and the moment he turned around, he found that Shao Minzhi had already brought three breakfasts.
"Oh, my Ah, how old are you, you leave silently, and I'm not afraid of scaring your mother and me out of illness." Shao Minzhi glared at Mu Hibiscus when he handed her breakfast, and angrily counted her down.
Mu Hibiscus immediately lowered his head in shame, and apologized slightly embarrassed: "Mom, I'm sorry, I was a little confused at the time, but I wanted to call you after I slept last night, but the mobile phone was really out of power and couldn't be turned on, and the hotel in this town didn't have electricity/phone in the room." ”
"Okay, okay, don't say I'm sorry, as long as you're safe and sound," Shao Minzhi saw Mu Hibiscus's apologetic face, and quickly took over the words: "Hurry up and eat, let's go see the eldest grandmother together, and then ask her what you want to ask, but, I guess, she may not know what to say." ”
"Mom, don't you know anything?" Mu Hibiscus looked at Shao Minzhi and asked softly: "Back then, you didn't notice if I suddenly changed as a person or something?" ”
"No," Shao Minzhi said with great certainty: "Ah Jin, I was not your biological mother in the first place, I don't need to lie to you about this, but all the days you are by my side, you have always been you, and you have never changed, so I personally think that Lin Changfeng is talking nonsense." ”
Shao Minzhi only heard the news that Lin Changfeng said that hibiscus was his biological daughter when she came to Z City with Shi Yan last night, and she was really stunned at the time.
But she recalled carefully, she watched the hibiscus by her side every day, and the hibiscus has never disappeared, let alone left home, so it is impossible for this child to change people?
The only possibility is that something may have happened to Hibiscus during the year she was with her mother, but her mother never told her, so she doesn't know.
"Ah Jin, you were less than three months old when your mother Tang Wanyi left you, and at that time your father was still a little lawyer who followed the barrister as a helper, and he was so busy for your milk powder money that he didn't have time to take care of you at all."
When Shao Minzhi ate breakfast, she explained to Mu Hibiscus why she sent Mu Hibiscus to her mother in Z City to raise her.
At that time, An Zhengrong and Tang Wanyi rented a house opposite Shao Minzhi's rented house, and the two families went door to door, but An Zhengrong's rented house was a one-bedroom apartment, while Shao Minzhi rented a single room.
Tang Wanyi left the child and left and never came back, and then a few days later, the news of Tang Wanyi's death came, An Zhengrong is a big man who can't take the child at all, not to mention that he is a lawyer and has to go to work every day.
In this case, because of the poor child's Shao Minzhi, he took the initiative to help An Zhengrong take care of the child, although Shao Minzhi said that he was not married, it is a woman's nature to coax children, so she became familiar with Xiao Hibiscus in a few days.
Shao Minzhi was doing odd jobs in the village committee at the time, and her work was easy, that is, she helped clean and carry boiling water in the office, so she could carry the hibiscus to work.
She is full of enthusiasm to help An Zhengrong bring Xiao Hibiscus, but people outside always say this and that, and some people even say that this is Shao Minzhi's illegitimate daughter and other topics.
At that time, it was eight years or more, and a girl's life style was very important, and it would affect her future work and life, and even marriage and family.
In the end, Shao Minzhi said to An Zhengrong that either he would not help him take care of the child, or simply let the child become her legitimate child, so that outsiders would not say anything.
At that time, An Zhengrong was at the lowest point in his life, and his girlfriend, who originally planned to marry him, died inexplicably after leaving the child away, leaving a child for him, making him so busy that his work and life could not be maintained.
And Shao Minzhi is enthusiastic and young, and he is good to him and Ah Jin, not to mention, the lost and helpless man always craves tenderness and warmth, so he proposed to Shao Minzhi.
Shao Minzhi is not unaware of An Zhengrong's purpose of proposing to her, but she really likes Xiao Hibiscus, not to mention, she also really likes An Zhengrong.
Maybe it's because young girls are a little fond of vanity, and Shao Minzhi is not very beautiful, his body has always been fat, and he is a little short, only 155, to be able to marry a young and handsome intellectual like An Zhengrong, she thinks it is a blessing from her previous life, even if An Zhengrong is now a poor boy, and even drags a child.
So, the two of them went to apply for a marriage certificate, and then Shao Minzhi naturally moved into the one-bedroom apartment rented by An Zhengrong, and it was logical that he became Xiao Hibiscus's mother.
Originally, Mu Hibiscus should have been living by the two of them, but more than a month after Shao Minzhi married An Zhengrong, he suddenly had an opportunity to take the civil service exam, and this opportunity was very rare for Shao Minzhi.
So, in order to make her temporary worker become a regular worker, Shao Minzhi decided to take the exam, and if you want to take the exam, you must study, but she can't study at all with hibiscus.
In the end, she discussed with An Zhengrong, An Zhengrong had not received a case for two months at that time, and her life was so embarrassed that she relied on Shao Minzhi's salary as a part-time worker, so it was difficult to object, and finally promised Shao Minzhi to send the child back to her hometown Z City to take her mother for a period of time.
And this is a year to send back, Shao Minzhi put a lot of effort into studying in order to be admitted at one time, working during the day and going to night school at night, just to get more than 20 yuan per month after becoming a regular.
"I came back to Z City to pick you up after I was admitted to the civil service, and it has been a year since I sent you to my grandmother," Shao Minyi looked at Hibiscus apologetically, "At that time, you were almost one and a half years old, and I didn't find anything wrong with you, because you still look like that, but you have grown taller and can run around, my mother said that you are a picky eater and don't like to eat, so you look a little thin." ”
Mu Hibiscus nodded, when she was a child, she had heard her father mention the hardships of her parents' lives before, so she also understood very well that her parents sent her to her grandmother, not to mention that her mother came to pick her up when she was admitted to the civil service?
How many young parents, in order to be able to stand on their heels outside, in order to make money outside, throw their children to their old people, and throw them away for a few years, or even more than ten years?
The three of them ate breakfast together and went to the nursing home, this nursing home is still the best one in Z City, because the town has good air, beautiful surrounding environment, and is surrounded by mountains and rivers, so many old people from rich families in Z City are sent here.
Hibiscus's grandmother is actually Shao Minzhi's aunt, she lived in a nursing home three years ago because her daughter also went abroad, and her son and daughter-in-law couldn't come back for many years in the field.
When Shao Minzhi took Hibiscus and Shi Yan to see her, it really surprised the eldest grandmother, and she said repeatedly: "Minzhi, I thought you would never come to see me in your life because of your mother?" Also, ah, hibiscus has grown so big? I haven't seen a hibiscus in more than ten years. ”
Mu Hibiscus hurriedly called her grandmother on the side, and then gave the gift that Shi Yan had prepared for her, and couldn't help but slander him again in her heart, being a child is hypocrisy, and he knows how to be sophisticated and so on.
Of course, Shi Yan didn't know that Mu Hibiscus was slandering him in his heart, he just followed Mu Hibiscus to greet the big grandmother who still looked red.
Mu Hibiscus saw the eldest grandmother's searching gaze, so he hurriedly introduced: "His name is Shi Yan, he is my friend, he happened to go to Z City to do business, and my mother and I took his hitchhike here." ”
The eldest grandmother glanced at Shi Yan meaningfully, and said in her heart, This hitchhiker is still accompanying you to see your relatives, ah Jin, you are not an honest child.
Shao Minzhi blushed and apologized to his grandmother: "I'm sorry, aunt, after my mother's death, I was also busy in Bincheng, and then my family was not in good health and couldn't do without people, so I didn't need to go back to Z City in the past few years." ”
"Oh, is your family okay now?" The aunt obviously also knew how to be safe, so she hurriedly asked with concern.
"My family is prosperous" Shao Minzhi simply told his aunt about the things in this family, and only after the topic changed the topic after that, did he ask: "Auntie, Ah Jin stayed here for a year when she was a child, at that time, my mother took her, did you find anything wrong?" ”
"Something wrong?" The eldest grandmother was slightly unhappy when she heard Shao Minzhi ask this, and glanced at Shao Minzhi: "I remember that your mother took her very well, at that time she was crying, and she didn't eat all day, your mother was sad to death, in order to take your daughter well, I didn't bother to do it." ”
"I'm not saying that my mother is not good for Ah Hibiscus," Shao Minzhi saw that his aunt had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained: "I mean, my mother took Ah Hibiscus, have you noticed that one day, Ah Hibiscus seems to be a different person?" ”
The eldest grandmother looked at Shao Minzhi and then at Mu Hibiscus, and then thought for a while and said: "I don't know if I really made a mistake at the time, in short, it was because of this incident that I stiffened the relationship with your mother, and later became a mortal enemy and never got along." ”
"What's the matter?" Shao Minzhi immediately felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "Is it related to my family?" ”
"Ah Hibiscus, my relationship with your grandmother was also very good," the eldest grandmother said this to Mu Hibiscus, and then looked at Shao Minzhi and asked: "Before you didn't bring Ah Hibiscus back, did I have a relationship with your mother like sisters?" ”
Shao Minzhi nodded instinctively: "Yes, I remember that the two of you had a very good relationship at that time, and no matter who had something in the two families, they would go over to help, and they never separated each other." ”
"Yes, such a good relationship, why did your mother ignore me later?" The eldest grandmother sighed when she said this, and then asked herself: "That's because, when Ah Hibiscus was almost half a year old, suddenly one day, I found that Ah Hibiscus suddenly became smaller, and much smaller. ”
"Got smaller?" Shao Minzhi and Mu Hibiscus asked in surprise almost in unison, and the two looked at each other again, and at the same time looked at the grandmother.
"yes, it got smaller overnight, don't you think it's weird?" The eldest grandmother paused here and then continued: "If I haven't seen Ah Hibiscus for a month or two, then she has become smaller or can be explained that she has not been sick for a long time, but I also hugged Ah Hibiscus the first morning, teased her and coaxed her, and when I went to see her the next night, I found that she had been crying and refused to eat, and she was significantly smaller than the previous day, although she still looked like that." ”
"I was curious, and I couldn't help but ask your mother, why did Hibiscus lose so much weight all of a sudden? It seemed to be a lot lighter overnight, and a little shorter,"
The eldest grandmother smiled bitterly when she said this, shook her head at Shao Minzhi and said: "Minzhi, I didn't mean anything else at the time, I just truthfully said my intuition, but your mother was angry, snatched the little hibiscus, and then said indignantly that I had bad intentions, this is cursing her little hibiscus, her little hibiscus is just sick, and she has lost weight by refusing to eat in the past two days." ”
"Since then, your mother has become estranged from me, and will no longer pay attention to me, and whenever I see little hibiscus trying to tease her, your mother will immediately hold her far away."
"You mean it's possible that my hibiscus has been replaced?" Shao Minzhi's heart instinctively chuckled, and his voice trembled slightly.
And Mu Hibiscus's body couldn't help but tremble, Shi Yan sat beside her, immediately grabbed her hand with his hand, and transmitted his strength to her through the palm of his hand.
"Someone else? I didn't think about it in any way, I was just worried that Hibiscus had become so much smaller overnight and that she was getting some strange disease," the eldest grandmother sighed and said, "At that time, Hibiscus was so cute, and everyone next to us liked her, but your mother's abnormal reaction made me feel a little strange, so on the third day, while your mother was not paying attention, I secretly took Hibiscus to the town hospital, hoping that the doctor would examine her to see if she had any strange disease." ”
As for the situation that I said that it seemed to be more than a month smaller overnight, the doctor said that either I was blind, or the child had not eaten for the past two days, and he was indeed hungry and lost a lot of weight.
When I heard this, I was relieved, and my heart said that as long as I wasn't sick, I was purely worried about the child, after all, I was much smaller all of a sudden.
However, when I walked out of the hospital with the child in my arms, I felt that something was wrong, because the hibiscus was obviously a little shorter, and it was possible that the child was hungry and thin, but it couldn't be hungry and short, right?
Just when I was wondering, your mother came to the door of the hospital, and she immediately snatched the hibiscus, and then scolded me for stealing her granddaughter, and said that I had bad motives, and hoped that her granddaughter would be sick or something.
I originally wanted to suggest that your mother take Xiao Hibiscus to the Z City Hospital for examination, but it can be seen that she is like that, purely treating me as a bad person, so I feel that I am purely nosy, and other people's granddaughters are not distressed, what are the people next to you worrying about?
Since then, my relationship with your mother has been very stiff, and she won't let me see Hibiscus, and gradually, the two of us stopped talking to each other, and we didn't see each other as if we didn't know each other.
