She stood by Lingyi's bedside, her eyes full of sadness and sadness.

"How can raising a child be so hard." I'm afraid this is Xiaoqi's line at this moment.

Reichi opened her eyes, and she woke up.

Xiao Qi's face was instantly filled with sunshine.

"Lingyi, you're awake, I'll peel your favorite dragon fruit for you, there's coconut water here, you're thirsty, drink some." You're fine, just have some hypoglycemia...... The doctor gave you an infusion and it will be fine soon. ”

"Mom......" Ling cried one by one and threw herself into Xiaoqi's arms.

The two hugged each other in the hospital room, crying......

Now Lingyi has grown taller than Xiaoqi, but she will always be a child in her mother's heart.

"It's okay, it's okay......" Xiao Qi gently patted Lingyi's back.

After a long time, Lingyi stopped crying, and the tears gushed out, and they had already wet Xiaoqi's shoulders.

"Mom. Why. Why are all children from single-parent families having accidents? ”

Regarding single-parent families, about Lingyi's own father, Xiaoqi doesn't want to involve too much.

She struggled to raise Reichi, it was her own choice, and she had no regrets.

"It's not like that. Not every single-parent family is unhappy, you see US President Barack Obama, he is also a single parent. He grew up with his mother, his father divorced his mother, he was black, but he was still the president of the United States. It's just one or two cases you've come across that she's not strong enough. No one's life is easy, no one's life is not painful, you choose what kind of life you want, your mother will try her best to help you. We are different, we will be different, you have to believe in yourself! Xiaoqi comforted.

"Mom, I'm scared. I don't want to be a single parent, I want my own dad to come over. What kind of person is he, is he a very irresponsible father? Why did he abandon me, why? Why is it that only mom and you accompany me in my house, and dad never knows. Why don't I have him in my life? Lingyi's series of questions seemed to hit the depths of Xiaoqi's soul.

Xiao Qi Leng is there, maybe this is the price of escape.

Running away is never the solution, she only delays the pain at best, but never makes it go away.

It seems that today we have to face it.

"Don't worry, this is my mother's own choice, and my mother will tell you slowly in the future. We haven't been in touch for more than a decade. If you really want to see your dad, I'll try to get in touch and see if I can get in touch. Let me think about this again, how to tell him about it, he doesn't know about you, and he doesn't know that he has a daughter. Xiao Qi's hands kept rubbing, and his expression seemed indescribably gray, like the gloomy weather in late autumn.

"Doesn't he know?"

"Yes, he doesn't know. I was pregnant with you when I returned home, but I didn't tell your dad ......"

"Why don't you tell?"

"It's been so long, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Oh, does it matter to me?"

"Of course it matters"

"I guess dad matters? I think it's important to yourself, Mom, you ask my father......"

"Okay, I got it, I'll try. What I want to tell you is that single-parent families are not necessarily unlucky, they are not like that. Each person is the most important thing, just like your grandfather said, the internal cause is the root, and the external cause is the condition. In the same way, different people make different choices in the same environment, and the results are different, and the internal factors are very important, and the internal factors are the root of determining the results. ”

"Grandpa? I miss my grandfather, I want to go see him. ”

"Okay, let's go on the weekend, and we'll go back to Nanjing next Friday."

"What about extracurricular classes?"

"It's okay, we can come back and take the online lessons. Or I'll find another one-on-one for you to make up, and we'll relax first. ”

"However, it's now the third year of junior high school, it's very urgent, and time is precious."

"It's okay, you can go if you want, Mom will accompany you to have fun on the weekend."

"Mom, you're so nice." As soon as Ling heard the news that she was going to travel on the weekend, even if it was only a three-hour drive to Nanjing, she felt very happy.

"We're going to be travelers this time. Let's go to Xuanwu Lake and Confucius Temple. Eat snacks, let's be a foreigner, let's go to Nanjing City, and now I don't know many places. ”

"Okay, Mom, I'm going to visit Asia's largest Muji in Xinjiekou." Lingyi rarely smiled, and when he planned his trip, Lingyi seemed to be in a better mood.

"Absolutely."

Of course, Xiao Qi knew that Reichi had reached the point where he had to relax.

The doctor diagnosed Lingyi depression with mild stress disorder.

For Xiaoqi, this seriousness is no longer a matter of her grades, but her health.

This is a bottom line, she must keep it, whether it is physical health, or mental health is extremely important.

However, there is no cure for heartache, and the experience and pain of this growth stage are something she must face.

However, as a mother, when she values her child's life more than herself, she knows that her future is not decided by her, but by them together.

What kind of seeds are planted for children today, what kind of flowers may bloom tomorrow.

Although it is already the third year of junior high school, Xiaoqi still plans to give Lingyi a week off, so that she can take a good rest and adjust her mood.

And something about the father. She also had to face it.

"But Obama is an American. We live in China, so how many children in China have grown up in single-parent families? Lingyi said suddenly.

Xiao Qi desperately searched for information in his mind. She didn't seem to find it.

On the contrary, many of the great and accomplished people she saw were raised by their mothers, and such examples abounded.

She seemed to be stealing beams and changing pillars, and she talked about the Chinese concept of marriage.

"The phenomenon of divorce in the United States is relatively common, but China's traditional concept is strong, and the promotion of women's status is also a thing that has not been long in the long river of mankind. But if the backbone is not divorced, it does not necessarily mean that the husband and wife are happy. ”

Xiaoqi talked about Chairman Mao's mother, Premier Zhou's mother, and Yang Jiang. This is one of Kosu's favorite female images. Including her homeschooling.

She told Lingyi that throughout the ages in China, women have taken on a lot of responsibilities in family education. Now it is because of the reform and opening up in the new era and the introduction of foreign ideas that everyone has made a lot of progress, so there will be some phenomena of divorce.

This is also the reason why there are relatively few such cases, and that is because such children are still young and have not yet had time to grow into excellent people.

Xiaoqi even encouraged her that everyone should have a dream and become great because of waking up from a dream.

Those great men who have been written into the annals of history or left traces, they are great men and ordinary people.

They also have the same emotions as ordinary people, but their achievements in a certain field are higher than ordinary people, so they have become great people.

High standards, strict requirements, this is the school motto of Honghua School. Kosu hopes that Reichi will also be able to accept and practice this philosophy.

Be a self-disciplined and demanding person.

Of course, you have to be a healthy person first.

This time, Reichi needs psychological counseling.

Three times a week, Lingyi talks to the psychological counseling teacher. Sometimes online, sometimes offline, but there was never a delay.

Xiao Qi also emphasized to Lingyi: "Everyone will encounter unhappiness or loss in their hearts. Psychological counseling is a very normal thing, a very normal need in modern society, and it is not a big deal. It's not that if you have psychological counseling, you will be sick, it's a shameful thing. It's a very normal consumption, just like buying clothes, eating, drinking, and watching movies. This is so that we can be healthier and have a good life. ”

Under such indoctrination, Reichi also accepted it.

They began their trip to Nanjing.

Traveling is always a pleasant and beautiful thing.

Even if it's just a day trip to the suburbs, there will be a lot to look forward to.

Nanjing is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Xiaoqi's hometown, and the place where Xiaoqi is haunted by his dreams.

From Jiangnan to Jiangbei, many of her relatives are here.

She could finally feel the influence of the extended family. If she is a duckweed floating in the imperial capital, then Nanjing is his roots.

Here are her dreams, the urban countryside in Jiangbei, the urban countryside in Jiangnan, and his relatives everywhere. Count them, this family has been in the hinterland of Jiangnan for thousands of years.

They are Sheng's and have settled in Jiangnan for thousands of years. Nowadays, people are rich, the family concept is stronger, the ancestral hall is beautiful, and there are many relatives.

When I went to Jiangnan to visit relatives and friends, I listened to the soft words of my sweetheart Wu Nong, and I felt indescribable joy and peace in my heart.

On the Qinhuai River are the traces of Lingyi and Xiaoqi, and they take a cruise around the Qinhuai River and enjoy the scenery on both sides.

Everywhere you go, there will be a commentary on the boat, showing the city's thick and warm history.

Jinling City is brightly lit at night, and at night Nanjing City becomes Jinling City.

Small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads and westerly winds and thin horses, there are all the scenes in the poems; There are many people left behind in history.

Each pile carries a heavy history.

They ate duck blood vermicelli soup, champion cakes, glutinous rice lotus root, and shrimp skewers...... A wide variety of snacks.

There are also various interesting places, Xuanwu Lake, Meihua Mountain, Purple Mountain...... They all had a good time.

Coincidentally, this May Day is her aunt's 80th birthday in the countryside of Jiangnan.

The excitement continued, and the warmth of home came to the face.

When I got home in the evening, the living room was full of delicious food.

I heard that Xiaoqi came back, and my father went to the supermarket early and bought all kinds of food, so that the family couldn't put it down, for fear that the preparations were not complete, and the children did not have enough to eat, or there was nothing they wanted to eat.

The three of them met, and the room was filled with joy.
