Chapter 8: Why Divorce
The family sat around a small square table in the courtyard, and the dim light shone down, elongating their figures and reflecting them on the ground. At first glance, this is more like a picture of a family, warm and quiet.
After eating, after a brief conversation, the second grandmother was worried that Wang Xiuzhen would come to find fault again, so she asked the second grandfather to wrap a few medicines for An Ning, and let them go back early. When leaving, Liu Guodong left money for the second elder, but the two of them said that they didn't want anything, and they seemed to be outside. At this point, Liu Guodong is not reluctant, anyway, he has already regarded himself as the grandson of the second elder, and he wants to give them a pension to the end.
Yaya took a nap at noon, but now she is more energetic, and An Ning's attitude towards her today is very good, so her mood is naturally very happy. Originally, she had been relying on An Ning to let her hug her, but after all, An Ning had just subsided from the fever, and they all said that the illness was like a thread, and her body was still a little dependent, so Liu Guodong took on the work of holding the child.
At first, Yaya was a little reluctant, but slowly, she seemed to accept the fact that she had such a father. In his firm and generous embrace, there is a sense of security.
There were no street lights in the village, and along the way, relying on the faint moonlight, there were villagers who were there to watch Maizi just come home for dinner, and everyone met and said hello to each other.
Along the way, both of them were silent, as if they wanted to speak, but they couldn't find any suitable topics, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.
When she got home, Yaya's mood seemed to be a little excited, and An Ning coaxed her to lie down beside her, gently patted her back, sang a lullaby to her, and finally lullined her to sleep. Looking at Yaya's little appearance with a sweet smile in her sleep, An Ning felt that her heart was warm.
An Ning is a child who grew up in a single-parent family, her father died before she was born, and her mother raised her with hard work, in order to provide for her to go to school, her mother washed dishes for others, also worked as a cleaner, and later went to the night market to set up a stall, and then started a food stall......
An Ning is not an ignorant person, she follows her mother after school, no matter what kind of environment she is in, she can finish her homework safely. After she finishes writing, she can also help her mother do what she can.
It's just that when she was seventeen years old, one night of thunder and lightning, when her mother was in a hurry to close the stall, she was hit by a billboard blown down by the strong wind, and the billboard hit the high-voltage line when it fell...... If it weren't for the high-voltage line, maybe the mother would still be saved.
Thinking of this, An Ning's heart was very sour. Since then, she has become a person, and when she was in college, she studied and worked as a food stall. Xu is God looks at her pitifully and favors her, and the business is very good. After making money, she went to a foreign place to worship a master, learned some cooking skills, and used the money she earned to open a homestay, and the cooking was all made by herself.
Seeing that her little life is getting better and better, but who knows, she has crossed over in such a daze, or has crossed into the novel. If she told her friends, they would think she was mentally ill and didn't take any medicine.
"I'll take you to intercept some cloth tomorrow." Liu Guodong finished washing his feet, sat on the edge of the bed and wiped his feet with a towel, and deliberately lowered his voice for fear of waking up the girl when he spoke.
An Ning's heart couldn't help but beat, although she could easily accept a child sleeping in her arms, but it was difficult for her to accept a man sleeping next to her.
An Ning looked a little cramped and uneasy, leaned over to the girl's side, and said embarrassedly: "What are you doing with the cloth?" ”
"What do you think the girl is wearing? Cut some cloth and make some new clothes for her and you. Liu Guodong stood up, took the basin, poured the water into the swill bucket, and put the towel on the stand under the basin stand.
When he got into bed, he was about to take off his pants. An Ning was startled and screamed, "What are you doing! ”
This move made Liu Guodong stunned, he looked at An Ning with a puzzled face and said, "What can you do when you take off your pants?" Sleep! ”
This was said so naturally, An Ning scratched her cheeks in embarrassment, she really wanted to say that she slept in a separate room, after all, in her world, she was still a yellow flower girl! However, after thinking about it, the matter between her and the bachelor Zhao Bin was in an uproar, if she proposed to sleep in a separate room again, I am afraid that the adultery between the two would be even more confirmed, and at that time, between her and Liu Guodong, I am afraid that there is only one way to go.
An Ning stabilized her mood, she was not used to sharing a bed with a man, so she thought of a way to chat with him, maybe she chatted and chatted all night, then she avoided it this night. Anyway, when she opened a food stall, it often closed at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and staying up late was just a piece of cake for her.
"That...... Don't you have anything to say to me? An Ning was the first to speak.
Liu Guodong just lay down next to An Ning, the bed was not very wide, and An Ning leaned in a little embarrassed next to Yaya.
"Stop squeezing the kids, and go to the wall." Liu Guodong said to An Ning.
He also knew in his heart that it was understandable that the two of them would be a little embarrassed if they hadn't seen each other for so long, and it was not unusual for this to happen when he came back before.
Since she was willing to take the initiative to talk to herself, Liu Guodong simply didn't sleep, he sat up again, half-leaned on the bed, and asked An Ning, "What do you want me to tell you?" ”
An Ning bit her lower lip, since the village is now rumoring about her and the bachelor Zhao Bin, when Liu Guodong speaks, it is better for her to make this matter clear first.
"That...... Zhao Bin and I ......"
"Hmm." Liu Guodong turned his head and looked at An Ning with a serious face, he didn't expect that An Ning would take the initiative to talk about this matter. Because he was afraid of hurting her self-esteem, he didn't know how to ask, but now it's okay, the two might as well sit down and talk about this matter openly, and untie the knots in each other's hearts.
"Don't you want to divorce me?" An Ning opened a pair of kind eyes and asked cautiously. In fact, she was also worried that after the divorce, without her follow-up, she should disappear.
Liu Guodong's brows moved, and he said funny: "Why should I divorce you." ”
"I thought you were going to divorce me after listening to those gossips." An Ning responded.
"So what is there between you?" Liu Guodong asked.
"Nope." An Ning shook his head: "Between us, it's not like the villagers said, at that time in the cotton field, he dragged me over, he ...... Hugging me, I couldn't break free, and I was seen. ”
An Ning explained.
"Then do you have that in mind ...... to him?" Liu Guodong didn't ask for the words later.
An Ning hurriedly waved his hand and said to Liu Guodong: "Zhao Bin, his mind is not pure, how can I have thoughts about him?" Besides, I have a family and a house, but I can't afford to lose this person! ”
Not to mention the author's setting, this is Anning's true words.
