Chapter 33: First Sight of Pipsqueak
After the communication with He Fei, I am ready to start building a merchant alliance, I will make a cooperation plan within 2 days, and then start to negotiate with the target merchants, if the negotiation is smooth, within half a month, I can put the marketing plan into practice.
It was a weekend afternoon, and I sat in the "fat stall" as usual after delivering the courier while drinking tea and thinking about my business plan.
Immersed in my thoughts for a full hour, I pressed my temples and looked out as usual to relieve my visual fatigue.
After looking at all the greenery outside the window, I turned my attention to the parking lot at the school gate, and like all universities, I always saw some luxury cars parked in front of the school on weekends.
In addition to the luxury car, I was surprised to find Zuo Lan's car again, and it is estimated that I came to the school to talk about the counterpart enrollment, today is the weekend, but there is no rest, which shows the importance of both parties to this matter.
I didn't care too much, and I didn't plan to talk to her for a while after Zuo Lan negotiated things, I already had some rejection of the meeting between us in my heart, and I think she was the same, so until now we didn't have each other's contact information, and we could only meet by chance.
I put the materials in front of me into my bag, turned around and walked outside the store, and when I passed by Zuo Lan's car, I habitually looked again, but I vaguely saw a figure moving in the car.
The figure was very small, it couldn't be Zuo Lan, my cat looked into the car from the window, because it was tinted glass, I couldn't see it clearly, but I was sure that there was a living thing in the car, I immediately went around to the front of the car and looked into the car through the transparent glass.
A cute little boy in blue bib pants, a beige SpongeBob sweater, fair skin, and two small shallow dimples on his mouth appeared in my sight, and I recognized this as Pippi in the photo.
At this moment, Pippi was sitting in the car, swaying from side to side, with his mouth open, his baby's fat little hands, scratching around, his nose mixed with tears, his mouth was about to cry, but he was still shouting "Mom" intermittently.......
I don't know why I feel inexplicably distressed and heartbroken, and I don't want to knock on the car window with my hand to attract Pippi's attention and signal him to look at me.
Pipsqueak finally turned his attention away from me, but still crying and shivering, I immediately grimaced at him, and whether he could hear it or not, and said in SpongeBob SquarePants' tone, "Patrick, let's go catch the jellyfish!" I'm ready, I'm ready.... Oooh. ”
Pipsqueak gradually stopped sobbing and looked at me curiously, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and made all kinds of funny expressions and movements, the little one watched playfully, and smiled from time to time, and the baby's fat little hands were pulling around.
People passing by around me thought I was crazy, but I kept amusing Pipsqueak in the car in this way for a full twenty minutes.
I complained to Zuo Lan in my heart, this woman is too unreliable to do things, how can she lock such a young child in the car, is she crazy?
........
After another ten minutes, I finally saw Zuo Lan who returned in a hurry, I couldn't get angry, grabbed her, and almost yelled: "What's the matter with you woman, the child is so young, you lock him in the car, aren't you afraid of accidents?" It's dangerous! ”
Zuo Lan looked at me, didn't argue with me, hurriedly opened the car door, Pippi saw Zuo Lan, immediately opened his arms, and cried out, "Mom..... Mom, Pippi is so scared alone. ”
Zuo Lan took Pippi out of the car in distress, put her face against her face, and said distressedly: "Pipsqueak is sorry, it's my mother who is not good....... Mom takes you to the playground at night, okay? ”
I dragged Zuo Lan and said in a deep voice: "You have to promise him not to lock him in the car in the future, you know that the child is so young, and you will leave a shadow in your heart if you trap him in such a narrow and claustrophobic space!" ”
Zuo Lan was stunned and said to me: "I also put him in the car when there was something before, he was very well-behaved, I don't know what's wrong today?" ”
I couldn't get angry when I heard it, and I pointed my finger at Zuo Lan and said sharply, "What kind of bastard are you doing....... You're not a good mother! ”
Zuo Lan suddenly lost control of her emotions, and she cried: "Do you think I want to? I don't have time to take care of Pippi, I'm guilty, guilty, but what can I do, I don't work, who will support him? ”
"Bad guys........ You are not allowed to murder my mother. Pippi, who was held by Zuo Lan, reached out and gave me a slap.
The child's strength was not great, and it hit me in the face as if it hadn't hit me, but I recovered from my anger and asked, "What about Pippi's father?" ”
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Zuo Lan said as she put Pippi back in the car, closed the door, and walked to the cab on the other side.
I grabbed her: "You tell me if there is any difficulty, at least we are still friends!" ”
"Let go of me." Zuo Lan shook his hand and tried to break free of me, but I grabbed it tighter, and Pippi in the car found out that I was arguing with Zuo Lan, and cried in the car again.
"Pippi is crying, you let go of me......." Zuo Lan kicked me on the calf, because of the stimulation of motherhood, this kick was extremely heavy, and I was in pain and let go of Zuo Lan.
After Zuo Lan got rid of me, he immediately opened the car door and sat in the car, started the car, and disappeared from my sight in an instant.
After Zuo Lan left, my mood was inexplicably irritable, thinking of the picture of Pipsqueak crying and trembling and even difficult to breathe, my heart ached, I always believed that any success could not make up for the failure of educating children, according to Zuo Lan's situation, she would never be able to take care of and educate Pippi well.
........
I don't know why, maybe it's because Pipsqueak is a child who wants to be close to him, or maybe it's because a young child's dependence and desire for his mother shocked me, and I couldn't find a reason for it, so I told myself.
Lighting a cigarette, I absentmindedly held the mouse and lit it on the computer screen, and the phone prompt sounded in my absent-mindedness.
I picked up my phone and looked at it, it was a message from Angel: "Scoundrel, have you eaten?" ”
"I've eaten it." I replied with three simple words.
Soon Angel replied to my message: "Why are you so perfunctory, it's because I didn't reply to your message some time ago, do you still hold a grudge?" ”
"Nope." This time I only replied with two words.
"I wanted to tell you something happy, but since you're so impatient, forget it." Angel replied with a message of disappointment, dissatisfaction.
"Tell me about it."
Angel didn't reply to my message, apparently angered by my perfunctory attitude.
........
After a few moments, I realized that I was a little emotional, and sent Angel another message: "I'm sorry, I'm a little irritated today, but it's really not aimed at you!" ”
"Why are you irritable?" Angel replied to the message and cared for me.
This time I am silent, how do I reply to Angel?
I decided not to think about that picture, Zuo Lan has nothing to do with me, Pippi has nothing to do with me, why should I bother myself, there are too many things that need me to do in front of me, my life is still redeeming, my freedom is given by Brother Luo, I can't be distracted at this time, I want to realize my self-worth here as soon as possible, and then go back to Nantong to revitalize the "Xiluo Men's Products Store" to complete my promise to Brother Luo, who is still serving prison sentences!
Finally, I sent Angel a message back: "It's just a small thing, tell me about your happiness, let me be happy too." ”
