Chapter 140 Ten Thousand Rewards for the Snow Falling on the Tree~
Li Xia knew that her words were very serious, but she didn't say them seriously, she was really afraid that Tao Ran would not recognize her mistake.
When you encounter something in the future, you can't get over it, so you want to exchange your life for your life, what can you do?
Putting the words down, Li Xia went to the ward, and took this opportunity to talk to Liu Yongde and his wife about Tao Tao.
If it can be resolved peacefully, Li Xia doesn't want to make trouble out of control.
In the ward, Xiao Aimei was stunned holding her stomach, and when Liu Yongde rushed in, he saw that Xiao Aimei's stomach was still there, and his heart was relieved.
But the two arms were still in a state of paralysis, trembling slightly, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
"Aime!" Liu Yongde covered his wife's hand and shouted at her.
Xiao Aimei came back to her senses, looked at Liu Yongde, tears welled up all of a sudden, and beat Liu Yongde with her hand, "Yongde, where have you been!" I was scared to death, I almost lost our baby! ”
Liu Yongde was beaten by her, his face was full of fear, it was his fault, he didn't go out today, "It's okay, it's okay, you tell me, what happened?" ”
Xiao Aimei cried a lot, vented her suppressed emotions, and then carefully told Liu Yongde what she encountered in the morning.
She was bored at home in the morning, and when she saw Tao Tao angry again, she wanted to buy some of the radish skins at home, and she was a little hungry for dried plums.
Most pregnant women are like this, and when they think about it, they want things to come to their hands and mouths.
Liu Yongde went out, and he didn't know when he would come back, Tao Tao was too young, just do some housework at home, and it was still not good to go out shopping alone.
Xiao Aimei took her wallet and went out by herself, thinking that it was the market next to her home, and she didn't call the teacher who had a good relationship on weekdays, so she shook it slowly.
After buying turnips and dried plums, she went home while eating.
As a result, as she walked, it was dark in front of her, after all, she was an elderly woman, Xiao Aimei had done this before, but she recovered in a few seconds, and there would be no discomfort in her body.
But this time, as soon as it was dark, he fell down.
At that time, she bought something and wanted to go back early to rest, so she took a shortcut from the back of the vegetable market, where there were residents, but everyone went to work at this time of the day.
And because of the shade, there is not even an old lady sitting outside chatting.
At that time, the place where she stood was on the top of a dozen steps, and she was about to go down, if she fell, let alone the child, even her own life would not be saved.
Xiao Aimei didn't know anything at the time, and when her eyes were black, she only knew that she was finished.
As a result, someone dragged her and took her to the hospital.
"This is a great benefactor! Where is the benefactor? After Liu Yongde listened, he was really afraid for a while, he didn't say anything else, he still had a true relationship with Xiao Aimei.
Otherwise, Xiao Aimei would not have been born for so many years, and he also withstood the pressure from his family and did not divorce.
"She's out." Xiao Aimei nodded again and again, and looked out, she was really a benefactor, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a grace of recreation.
When Li Xia entered the ward, Liu Yongde and Xiao Aimei had already hugged and cried, and the emotions of the husband and wife were stable.
"Yongde, it was Miss Lixia who saved me." Seeing Li Xia coming in, Xiao Aimei hurriedly shook Liu Yongde.
Liu Yongde hurriedly stood up with a grateful face, but when he saw that it was actually a teenage girl, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took back the outstretched hand, and bent down to thank him instead, "Li, Li Xia, I heard my lover say, thank you so much, thank you so much." ”
Although she is a little girl, it does not prevent Liu Yongde from being grateful.
"I saved Teacher Xiao, but it can only be said to be a coincidence." Li Xia turned her body uncomfortably and sat down in front of the hospital bed, "I actually want to talk to Teacher Xiao about Tao Tao." ”
Liu Yongde and Xiao Airegret glanced at each other, Tao Tao?
"This is my ID card, as well as the certificate of the street, this is a photo of my grandmother and us, we came this time to find out that Chen Fengying gave the child away and wanted to pick up the child." Li Xia looked directly at Liu Yongde and his wife.
Speaking of Tao Tao, the couple subconsciously felt empty-hearted.
They adopted the child, but except for the first kiss for a while, and then became impatient, it was not good for the child.
"Isn't Tao Tao's grandmother lost?" Xiao Aimei asked.
Li Xia nodded, "It's lost, so it took us a lot of effort to find here, and it's a little late." ”
"......" Xiao Aimei looked at Liu Yongde, not knowing what to do for a while.
Liu Yongde was holding the family photo and looking at it, the mole on Tao Tao's eyebrows looked exactly the same as the old lady, and Li Xia didn't need to lie to them, as long as they took the photo and asked Chen Fengying, they would all know.
Li Xia continued, "You should actually thank Tao Tao for this incident, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have recognized Teacher Xiao, I wouldn't have seen her want to talk to her when she walked alone, and naturally I wouldn't have found out that she fainted and almost fell off the stone steps." ”
In other words, Tao Tao not only brought them a child, but also protected the child and her adoptive mother.
Liu Yongde opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
He was very grateful to Li Xia, but Li Xia came directly to the door and almost didn't directly accuse them of abusing the children, and he felt quite uncomfortable.
Today's matter, if it were an adult, the effect might be better, but Li Xia really didn't have time to go back to the guest house to find Chen Xinchun.
"If we don't agree to return Tao Tao to you, what are you going to do?" Liu Yongde asked tentatively.
In fact, his heart was already loose, he had planned to send Tao Tao away, if it was her relatives to pick it up, it would naturally be better.
At this time, Tao Ran had gone upstairs in silence and stood at the door, hearing this, he stood still and did not enter the door.
He also wanted to know what they would do.
Li Xia's face didn't fluctuate much, "I've already inquired in the family courtyard, and you guys are not good to Tao Tao." ”
Saying that, Li Xia paused slightly, looked at Liu Yongde and his wife, whose expressions changed slightly, and opened their mouths to justify, "You don't have to make excuses to excuse yourself, what I said is the truth, if you don't agree, I will call the police and go to the Education Bureau to find the leader." ”
"......" Liu Yongde gasped.
From graduation to distribution, Liu Yongde's environment is relatively simple, and he really didn't expect that Li Xia would have so many means.
He thought that when he went to the family home and the school to make trouble, it would already be the top of the sky.
Liu Yongde lowered his shoulders, "We will give Tao Tao to you, and we will cooperate with the transfer of household registration, but this matter has to go through Chen Fengying, and I don't want her to come to us again to make trouble." ”
Li Xia nodded, she has no opinion on this, Chen Fengying agrees best, disagrees, just let Tao Ran and Tao Tao die to her again.
"Thank you for today's event, we ......" Liu Yongde thought about it and decided to thank Li Xia well, sitting down to eat, Li Xia must not have that heart, he would take some money to express his gratitude.
Li Xia waved his hand, "No thanks, just give me the medical expenses of the pad, and if you want to thank you, thank Tao Tao." ”
After speaking, Li Xia handed over the list of the hospital to Liu Yongde, and after getting back his money after checking the numbers, he left the address where he lives now, and got up to leave.
When she went out, she saw Tao Ran, just glanced at him, and went straight out.
Tao Ran pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and silently followed behind Li Xia.
He was still hesitant in his heart, it didn't feel good at all to be under the fence, here was the fence, follow Li Xia and them? Isn't it still the same as sending people under the fence? Will they be nice to him and his sister?
"Don't follow me." After leaving the hospital, just as the bus came, Li Xia glanced back at Tao Ran with a serious gaze.
Tao Ran stopped and looked at her stubbornly.
Li Xia didn't plan to tell him more, and when the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, she got into the car directly, and after getting in the car, Tao Ran didn't follow.
Back at the guest house, Li Xia told Chen Xinchun everything that happened today.
Hearing that Tao Ran wanted to cause Xiao Aimei to have a miscarriage, Chen Xinchun was silent, his brows were furrowed and his face was worried, and finally sighed, "The child still has to be taught and managed, otherwise it will be too easy to go down the wrong path." ”
He has already inquired, Tao Ran's cousin is not bad to him, but there is definitely no discipline, Tao Ran has already shown signs of going crooked, and it will definitely not work if he continues like this.
"Will Chen Fengying let us take the child away smoothly?" Chen Xinchun is still worried about this.
Li Xia is actually not sure, Chen Fengying is selfish, and now she just wants to maintain her small family, but she has not reached the level of Yang Wangxiang, I heard that Chen Fengying still regularly gives Tao Ran living expenses.
As for Tao Tao, it was given for adoption, so naturally it would not be bothered.
The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, there will always be a way, just because Chen Fengying cares about her current husband and children, and her job, their chances of winning are very great.
Tao Tao said that Li Xia and Chen Xinchun were going to go directly to Tao Ran's cousin to talk.
But before that, Li Xia hoped that Tao Ran would come to the door first to admit his mistake, Tao Ran had a lot of ghost eyes, and Li Xia believed that he would definitely be able to find here.
Although Chen Xinchun was anxious and wanted to finish things as soon as possible and go back, he still listened to Li Xia's arrangement.
"Grandpa, don't worry, let's just wait for this day, if he really can't do it, we'll come to visit tomorrow night." Li Xia comforted Chen Xinchun.
Chen Xinchun nodded, "Okay, I know what you mean, you are also for Tao Ran's good." ”
The two grandparents went to call home together, reported their safety, and told the family to take care of themselves before going out to buy door-to-door gifts.
……
Tao Ran returned home, except for his cousin who asked him where he had been running all day and whether he had eaten at noon, his cousin and eldest cousin were cold to him, and the little cousin concentrated on studying and didn't care about him.
After helping his cousin finish dinner, Tao Ran rarely didn't go out to pick up the rags, but returned to the small room converted from the balcony early.
My cousin's house was a two-bedroom apartment in my cousin's unit, and my cousin originally arranged for him to sleep in the living room, but my eldest cousin was very disgusted by this, and after crying a few times, he was moved to the balcony.
Sleeping in the living room is of course inconvenient, but it is still slightly better than the balcony.
The balcony seemed to have a place, but he couldn't stay there during the day, because his cousin had to dry his clothes, and the eldest cousin asked the balcony to open the curtains so that she could not block her light.
Only at night he can stay alone, but the balcony is separated by wooden boards, there are many mosquitoes in the summer, and the cold is not soundproof in the winter, which is very unbearable.
Lying on the hard bed, Tao Ran looked at the ceiling of the black hole, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.
Suddenly, an old man appeared, saying that it was his step-grandfather, and that self-righteous woman who claimed to be his cousin's daughter.
Thinking of her accusation against herself today, Tao Ran felt a little uncomfortable, she was not him, why should she say that he had a bad character.
My sister can't even eat, and the big one has to take care of the housework at home, and he just wants to kill people, just bump into what's the big deal.
But...... Thinking of the possibilities she said.
Tao Ran pursed his lips, he will only have revenge, and will never hurt innocent people, this time he was not thoughtful, and next time he will definitely not.
After making up his mind, Tao Ran began to think about the fact that they were going to take his sister away, and he would definitely not be at ease if he let his sister leave with them.
But the woman also said that she was going to reconsider whether or not to take him.
He actually resisted to leave in his heart, no matter how bad it was here, his mother was still here, and now his grandmother didn't come, so there was a person who claimed to be his step-grandfather, what if it was a human trafficker?
Traffickers! Tao Ran was shocked by his own idea, but he soon rejected it again.
He had seen the photo that the old man had taken out, and the person on it was indeed his grandmother.
The grandmother in the photo is neatly cleaned up, her face is white, with a gentle smile on her face, and she looks no different from the grandmother of his classmates who have good family conditions.
This is actually different from what Tao Ran remembers.
He didn't remember what his grandmother was like a long time ago, only how she looked before she went missing, dirty, stinky, and smelly of old people and urine mixed with her body.
Since his grandmother became ill, his mother has been a little disgusted with his grandmother, and his father is usually responsible for taking care of his grandmother at home.
But his dad had to go to work, so he couldn't stay at home every day, so most of the time, his mom stayed with his grandmother.
His mother doesn't care about his grandmother, she just cooks and cleans up the housework at home every day, and when the meal is ready, her grandmother will eat it when she comes, and she won't leave it alone for her grandmother if she doesn't eat.
Grandma became more and more confused, and she especially liked to run out, and at first her mother went out to look for it, but then she stopped going and began to support him to go.
Sometimes he can find it, and sometimes his grandmother is lost for a day or two before being sent back by the people around him.
Grandma is getting dirtier and dirtier, her memory is getting worse and worse, sometimes confused and sometimes sober, and her mother is becoming more and more disgusted with grandma, and her parents will always quarrel for grandma.
On the day when grandma went missing, Tao Ran still remembers that his mother scolded and cried grandma in the morning, because grandma was going to give her dad eggs, but because she was careless, she knocked over the basin containing the eggs.
It was Dad's birthday.
Then grandma disappeared, Dad looked for a long time, but he didn't find grandma, the atmosphere at home was getting worse and worse, and he didn't dare to tell Dad that Mom scolded Grandma that day, and he did it twice.
About half a year later, his parents divorced.
The family's house and savings all belonged to his mother, and their brother and sister were also dragged by his mother, no matter how his father begged, her mother did not agree to give them to him.
At that time, his grandmother told him that his mother kept them by her side because she was reluctant to do so, hoping that her father would turn back.
But Dad didn't, he was looking for his grandmother, and when he came back, he would go to school to find him, ask him for leave, and then pick up his sister from his grandmother's house.
Take them out to play, buy them good food, and ask them to listen to their mother, saying that when they find their grandmother, they will come back to pick them up.
At that time, his mother was already in a relationship with Sun Zhiyong.
When Tao Ran knew about this, he felt that he and his sister had been betrayed and deceived.
He put his hope on his father, but he kept waiting, no matter how he waited, he couldn't wait for his father, only until his mother remarried, he refused to call Sun Zhiyong's father, and then he and his sister were sent away separately.
When he left, he heard his mother and grandmother arguing, and his grandmother told his mother not to be so ruthless, but his mother said that his father had died outside, and she couldn't raise so many children, and Sun Zhiyong minded their existence very much.
Tao Ran never believed that his father was dead, he kept waiting, but he couldn't.
I don't know when he started to resent, hating why his grandmother caused his parents to divorce, hating his mother for betraying them, betraying his father, and hating his father for not keeping his promises.
He clearly said that he would come back to pick them up when he found his grandmother.
Tao Ran felt that his face was cold, he reached out and touched it, only to find that he was crying, this discovery made him a little panicked, he had already sworn that he would never cry because of unscrupulous parents again.
"Tao Ran, have you slept? Is it unwell? My cousin was not at ease, and after washing the dishes, she went to the balcony to take a look.
In the living room, the eldest cousin glanced at this side, slapped the table with a "pop", and screamed, "Mom! Where's my pencil sharpener? ”
Tao Ran wiped away her tears and stabilized her mood and voice, "Cousin, I'm a little sleepy. ”
"Then you sleep." The cousin left lightly again, and after a while, the voice of the cousin in the living room came to comfort the eldest cousin.
In the dark, Tao Ran made up his mind that he was going to his grandmother's place and wait for his father to come back and give him an explanation.
……
The next day, Chen Xinchun woke up early in the morning and sat until Lixia came to knock on the door and deliver breakfast.
Li Xia entered the door and looked at the neatly folded quilt, and sighed, "Grandpa, if you are really worried, let's go over directly after a while." ”
Chen Xinchun waved his hand, "Don't worry, it's okay, people are getting old and feeling less, let's wait." ”
Since he knew why Li Xia wanted Tao Ran to come over first, he naturally couldn't help but feel anxious.
Li Xia didn't persuade much, and after the two grandparents and grandchildren finished breakfast peacefully, Li Xia was ready to go directly to pick up Tao Tao.
In fact, Li Xia wanted to take Tao Tao over yesterday, but Liu Yongde said that they should clean up the children's things, so she didn't pick them up.
As a result, when she came out of Chen Xinchun's room, she looked at Tao Ran, who was standing silently in front of the door.
“……”
Big eyes to small eyes for a while, Li Xia opened the door, "If you have something to say, come in." ”
Tao Ran walked into the room silently, Li Xia was not in a hurry to go out, and planned to solve Tao Ran's problem first.
"How did you find here?" Li Xia looked at Tao Ran with a serious face, his eyes sharp.
Tao Ran had already made up his mind, and he would not retreat again, he gritted his teeth, "What happened yesterday, I was wrong, I knew it was wrong." ”
As he spoke, Tao Ran raised his head, a pair of eyes were connected, and before he could speak, tears rolled down first, "...... I just don't want them to have their own children, when they don't have children, it's not good for Taotao, and when they have their own children, I'm afraid they will treat Taotao more cruelly. ”
When Chen Xinchun heard this, he was already a little distressed, and Li Xia looked at him, the expression on his face was expressionless, faint.
Tao Ran felt as if he had been seen through, and quickly lowered his head, and the roots of his ears became hot.
"I really know it's wrong, I shouldn't hurt the innocent, it's the adults who make the mistake, I shouldn't take revenge on their unborn children...... I'm sorry. ”
As he spoke, tears fell in large drops.
"It's good to know you're wrong, kid, you can't do that again." Chen Xinchun said distressedly.
Tao Ran nodded heavily, "Hmm! I'm sorry...... I just want my sister to be ......."
"It's good that you can recognize your mistakes, so that we can have an account with grandma, you go back, I have other things to do here." Li Xia didn't let go at all.
Tao Ran, "......"
Chen Xinchun glanced at Li Xia, not knowing how Li Xia could say this, but he didn't dismantle her stage, just sat there and listened.
The room was quiet, only the sound of Tao Ran's crying face, Li Xia drove people away, he didn't leave, the soles of his feet seemed to take root, and he stood there motionless.
"Let's go." Li Xia once again shouted to drive people away.
Tao Ran raised his head suddenly, he was still a seven-year-old child, he was indignant in his heart, and he was not very good at hiding his emotions.
"Do you think that if you come here to cry and pretend to admit your mistake, we will be fooled by you like fools?" Li Xia looked at Tao Ran.
Tao Ran didn't speak, looking at Li Xia with tears in his eyes, and his usual stubborn look resurfaced on his face.
This kid! Chen Xinchun glanced at him, but he was still a little soft-hearted, "Xia Xia ......"
"Grandpa, don't speak for him, he's putting this on hold." Li Xia glanced at Tao Ran lightly.
The stinky boy is a ghost and smart, but he is not used for the right path.
I didn't expect that I would be exposed, Tao Ran was really anxious, does this mean that they really don't plan to want themselves, they just take their sister away.
"......" Tao Ran's eyes turned red, and he glared at Li Xia fiercely.
Li Xia smiled, "What's the matter, you still want to bump into me?" Tao Ran, you don't think you're at fault at all, do you? If you were given the chance, you would still bump it, wouldn't you? ”
"No!" Tao Ran glared at her, "I know she'll faint, so I won't hit her again." ”
"......" Lixia.
Tao Ran will also break the jar, "It's impossible for you to take Tao Tao alone, if you only take her, I will go to the Public Security Bureau to report you as human traffickers." ”
"You kid!" Chen Xinchun glared, so angry that Tao Ran didn't know what to say.
Li Xia laughed, "This will know how to use your brains, and you can still think of reporting us as human traffickers." ”
Tao Ran felt that he was being ridiculed, and he was very unconvinced, not only his eyes, but also his face turned red.
"It's not impossible to take you away." Li Xia looked at Tao Ran and said loosely.
Tao Ran glared at Li Xia, Li Xia continued, "You have to promise, you have to listen to your grandparents, and my words, you are not allowed to fight casually, you also have an older brother and sister at home, you have to get along with them well." ”
It's decent to listen to your grandparents, what's the matter with listening to her!
"If you can't do it, I'll send you back as you are, I just don't know if your cousin and uncle can accept you well." Li Xia was not afraid of his glare.
Chen Xinchun glanced at Tao Ran and reassured him, "Your brother Xiaonan and sister Yangyang get along very well." ”
Tao Ran's chest rose and fell slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Okay, since you agreed, and I also said ugly things ahead, if you behave like yesterday, make mistakes and act like today, and try to get by, don't blame me for whipping you with a stick." Risa looked at him.
"Our family believes in not being able to fight, and filial piety comes out under the stick."
Tao Ran gritted his teeth, "Okay, but you can't ignore the reason, and you can't hit Taotao!" ”
"That's not good, no matter who you are, if you make a mistake, you have to be disciplined." Li Xia directly vetoed his words, "Don't worry, I won't put all the fault on you without asking, but you must know that you have a criminal record, and I suspect that you are normal." ”
"You ......" Tao Ran gritted his teeth and nodded aggrievedly, "Okay." ”
After everything was said and done, Li Xia decided to visit Chen Xinchun in advance, solve Tao Ran's affairs here in the morning, and then go directly to pick up Tao Tao.
If you have time, it is best to negotiate directly with Chen Fengying in the afternoon, and they can go back directly tomorrow.
……
At my cousin's house, my cousin looked at the photo of her aunt, and tears welled up at once.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a little uncomfortable...... My parents went early, and before I got married, my aunt took care of me, and even when I got married, my aunt handled it for me. This is also the reason why she insisted on leaving Tao Ran under the pressure of her husband and daughter.
If she doesn't agree to raise Tao Ran here, Chen Fengying doesn't know where she will send the child.
Looking at the photo, she knew that her aunt was doing well, and her current wife and granddaughter took good care of her, "Thank you so much." ”
But for Chen Xinchun and Li Xia to pick up Tao Ran's brothers and sisters, my cousin still has some doubts.
It's not easy to take care of a confused old man, why add two cumbersome children, the living expenses and tuition fees in the future are not a small amount.
Although his cousin disagreed, Tao Ran had already gone to his balcony room to clean up his things.
In fact, there is nothing, since he lived on the balcony, the balcony has become a utility room at home to a certain extent, looking at a lot of things, there is not much that belongs to him.
"Don't worry about this, your family is welcome to come and visit casually." Chen Xinchun glanced at the place where Tao Ran lived, and felt very uncomfortable.
Children without fathers and mothers are so pitiful.
Just taking a photo is definitely not convincing enough, Chen Xinchun also brought the certification documents of the street, his discharge certificate and ID card, as well as the marriage certificate he had with Grandma Hu.
At that time, this marriage certificate was actually to prevent his wife from having no one to take care of after he passed away, so he thought of getting a certificate to give his wife an upright identity.
In the future, the house and subsidies can be shared by the wife, and they will not all be occupied by Chen Linxiu.
Otherwise, there is really no need to engage in these things.
Seeing the marriage certificate, the cousin sneered, Li Xia glanced at the other party, and the other party realized the faux pas and hurriedly restrained his expression.
My cousin also felt embarrassed, and hurriedly pushed the things back, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's this, and I have to discuss it with the child's mother, after all, she entrusted the child to me, and I have to be responsible." ”
According to what Chen Xinchun said, they still have to transfer the household registration to Tao Ran's brothers and sisters, and when the time comes, they will have to go to the Public Security Bureau to go through the formalities, and their identities will not be fake.
Tao Ran packed up his things and came out, with a cold face, "You don't need to discuss with her, she doesn't want us a long time ago." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, your mother still gives you living expenses every month." The cousin glanced at Tao Ran disapprovingly.
Tao Ran snorted lightly, "Cousin, you report an account, and I will pay her back a lot in the future." ”
Li Xia looked at the other person's little ghost and laughed, "It's to remember, but it's also necessary to discuss, then please ask your cousin to make an appointment, let's sit down and have a good talk." ”
The cousin should be silent, she still wanted to wait until the conversation was over before deciding to stay with Tao Ran, but Tao Ran had already packed her things and followed Li Xia and them without looking back.
"Little white-eyed wolf!" The eldest cousin glanced at Tao Ran's back with disdain, and then pestered her father, "Dad, I also want that girl's coat, it's so beautiful." ”
My cousin glanced at his wife, who was a little depressed, and said to his daughter, "Go to your mother." ”
The eldest cousin immediately went to his mother to make trouble, and the cousin didn't have time to think about Tao Ran.
After returning to the guest house and putting his luggage, Tao Ran urged Li Xia to pick up Tao Tao, and Li Xia did not delay and left again.
Chen Xinchun was already tired for most of the day, but he still insisted on following him to the 13th Middle School.
Tao Tao watched her luggage being packed and put in the living room, she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, she knew that she was going to be sent away again, but she didn't even dare to ask.
She misses her mother, her father, and her brother......
She didn't dare to sit because she was wearing new clothes, and she was afraid of getting dirty and being scolded by her new mother.
In the morning, Liu Yongde and Xiao Aimei packed Tao Tao's luggage, and found that there was only a small burden, and they were a little silent, Liu Yongde felt a little uncomfortable, and took the money to take Tao Tao to the market to buy new clothes and new shoes.
"Gaifeng, no, Tao Tao, you ......" Xiao Aimei looked at Tao Tao, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Said that she went somewhere else and lived a good life, and don't forget about it.
But what do Tao Tao remember here? Remember that they are not good to her, remember the never-ending chores here, and the occasional beating and scolding?
At this time, Xiao Aimei was also a little ashamed in her heart, what was she confused about, why should she be so harsh on a child?
Obviously, when she just brought Tao Tao back, she was also happy in her heart, and she also thought that this would be their daughter in the future, and she must take good care of her and educate her.
"Tao Tao, aunt is sorry for you, you will follow your grandparents and sister in the future, live a good life, and ...... Just forget about it. Xiao Aimei took twenty yuan and stuffed it into Tao Tao's pocket.
As soon as Xiao Aimei approached Tao Tao, Tao Tao was a little frightened, and subconsciously said, "Mom, what you have in your belly is my younger brother." ”
She knew that by saying this, the new mother would be in a good mood and would not beat or scold her.
This is what Grandma Zheng taught her downstairs.
The room was suddenly quiet, Xiao Aimei couldn't help but look at Liu Yongde, Liu Yongde opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
The husband and wife are in a very complicated mood right now.
People really only have to jump out and look at it to know how stupid and terrible they are when they are obsessed.
"I'm sorry, Tao Tao." The child still called her Mom, why was she so ruthless in the first place?
Tao Tao saw Xiao Aimei crying, and she also cried, she didn't dare to cry loudly, so she shrunk her neck and inhaled carefully.
When Li Xia knocked on the door and came in, they saw such a scene.
Tao Ran saw his sister crying, he was a little angry, and he was just about to rush over, but the back of his neck was grabbed.
Just like in the market, when he was ready to rush out.
"Don't you remember what you said in the morning?" Li Xia's voice was frighteningly cold.
Tao Ran calmed down and found that Xiao Aimei was just squatting and talking to Tao Tao, he relaxed and was dragged by Li Xia.
"Brother!" Tao Tao's eyes lit up in surprise when she saw Tao Ran, and she quickly glanced at Xiao Aimei timidly.
Xiao Aimei gently touched her head, "Go find my brother." ”
Tao Tao ran to Tao Ran at this time, and then shrank to his side, Tao Ran took Tao Tao's hand and held it tightly.
"This is Tao Tao's grandfather, please take a seat." Liu Yongde hurriedly gave up the place and asked Chen Xinchun to sit.
Chen Xinchun touched the slender back of the child's neck and shoulders, the child was so thin, so thin that a thin layer of skin was wrapped around the bones.
Tao Ran glanced up at him and smiled sweetly at Chen Xinchun, "Grandpa." ”
The little girl has a good impression of the elderly, because the old grandfathers and grandmothers in the family yard are very good to her, stuffing her with an apple or a candy from time to time, and when she is injured, she will hold her and apply medicine to coax her not to cry.
Chen Xinchun smiled at her, looked at Liu Yongde, and sighed lightly, "We won't sit, tomorrow you will go to the child's cousin's house in the afternoon, let's sit down and have a good talk." ”
Knowing that they had made an appointment with Chen Fengying tomorrow, Liu Yongde responded with a smile and handed Tao Tao's luggage on the sofa to Li Xia with a ashamed expression.
Li Xia didn't say anything, and looked down at Tao Ran, "Let's go." ”
When the four of them walked downstairs, they met Teacher Zheng, who had silver hair last time, and as soon as Tao Tao saw the old lady, she ran up, "Grandma Zheng." ”
Teacher Zheng touched Tao Tao's head, his eyes fell on Tao Ran, who was seven or eight similar to Tao Tao, and then fell on Li Xia, and then smiled at Li Xia, "Let's talk?" ”
"I told Teacher Liu's family that I would talk to the children's mother tomorrow, and I would take them back." Li Xia smiled in response.
Teacher Zheng nodded, and touched Tao Tao's head again with some distress, "Little Tao Tao will listen to her sister well in the future and grow up well." ”
Tao Tao didn't know why, but because it was Grandma Zheng's words, she listened very seriously and nodded solemnly.
"Be good to them, children are good, and teaching them well will bear good fruits." Teacher Zheng said to Li Xia again.
At this time, Liu Yongde found that there was a doll in the cabinet that Tao Tao used to like, but Xiao Aimei did not allow her to play with, so he took it and chased it down, and happened to hear this.
His yellow skin was a little red, and he didn't even dare to look directly into the eyes of the people present, and even said "I'm sorry", he felt as if he was not qualified to say it.
Taking the doll, Li Xia looked at Teacher Zheng, "We will, when Tao Tao goes to school, I will teach her to write a letter to you." ”
Teacher Zheng's always serious and old-fashioned face brought a little smile, "Okay." ”
……
Back at the guest house, Tao Tao learned from his brother that they would follow their strange grandfather and sister to live in a new place in the future.
Tao Tao was a little scared, she grabbed her brother's hand, "Brother, are you with me?" ”
"Together, we're never separated again." Tao Ran must be the Tao.
Tao Tao thought for a while, patted his chest and said, "Then I will work hard, I will do as much work as I can, I can wash dishes, wash clothes, and sweep the floor." ”
"You don't have to do this, I'll do it." Tao Ran didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his sister's words at all, what he thought was that with him, he didn't need his sister to do these jobs.
Li Xia looked at the two brothers and sisters, glanced at Chen Xinchun, and didn't say anything.
Back at the guest house, Li Xia gave Tao Tao a bath and washed her hair.
Liu Yongde bought new clothes, but he didn't take a bath, it was inconvenient for him to be a man, and Xiao Aimei was pregnant with a child, so he skipped the matter.
Tao Tao didn't know how long it had been since she took a bath, and after taking two basins of hot water, she showed clear water, but fortunately, the little girl was thin and thin, but there were no obvious bruises on her body.
At least Liu Yongde and his wife did not have the habit of beating their children.
Hit before, it may have happened, and if you are wrong, you can't pursue it anymore, just raise the child in the future.
After taking a shower, changing into Li Xia's big pajamas, and stuffing them directly into the quilt, Li Xia began to sort out their luggage.
Tao Tao didn't have many things, so he had to wash and dry his clothes and replace them, and then buy them again when he returned home.
As for Tao Ran's jingling rags, Li Xia had a little headache, she wanted to throw Tao Ran and didn't let her, looking like she was sworn to defend it.
"You let him take it, there aren't many things." Chen Xinchun couldn't help but protect it.
Li Xia nodded Tao Ran, "It's not okay to bring it all, you think about it carefully, choose the five things that mean most to you, and the others are either thrown away, sent to the recycling station, or you send them to friends, it's okay." ”
Tao Ran glared at Li Xia angrily, turned his head and went to tidy up his baby.
Seeing that he was obedient, Chen Xinchun nodded with satisfaction.
Li Xia settled them down, went downstairs to borrow a tape measure to measure Tao Tao's height and size, and prepared to buy her two underwear.
Liu Yongde bought a new coat, but the underwear was shabby and dirty, and it looked like it was not usually cleaned.
Li Xia planned to buy two new ones quickly, and put them on first, but fortunately, although Tao Ran's clothes were old, he washed them quite cleanly, and today he also changed into a more fitting coat and pants, so Li Xia didn't plan to care about him.
When Li Xia finished buying her underwear, Tao Ran's cousin came over, and she came to tell them that she had contacted Chen Fengying and made an appointment to talk tomorrow afternoon.
"I don't know what to say, you can find it, you have a heart, this money is the living expenses given to me by Tao Ran's mother, these are the rest, I saved it, you take it." As she spoke, her cousin was going to give the money to Lixia.
Li Xia didn't accept it, although she didn't say a few more words to her cousin's husband today, but it can be seen that the other party is a little picky, it makes no difference whether she wants this money or not, but the cousin stays in her hand, at least she can make her husband complain less.
"Aunt, you take it, wait for me to make money, and I will give you living expenses." Tao Ran didn't want it, and helped Li Xia refuse.
The cousin wiped her tears and insisted on giving the money to Li Xia, she came to the guest house to see Tao Tao, and saw Tao Tao thin and dry, her heart hurt and sour, and she was very grateful to Chen Xinchun's ancestors and grandchildren.
Whether Chen Fengying agrees or not, she must help speak tomorrow, and she can't let Chen Fengying delay the two children.
