48. Bad news came
Wang Ying is pregnant, which can be regarded as a happy event, like a stone falling into a pond, stirring up a layer of waves on a day full of haze.
Shi Dayong was happy, and he was even more energetic at work, and said that I have two girls, this time it should be different, all of them say that they are sour and spicy girls, he carefully observed Wang Ying's dietary changes, and determined that Wang Ying eats more sour food than spicy food, he is more relieved, this time it must be a son, he didn't run away, every time he comes back from duty, looking at Wang Ying's bigger and bigger belly, he has to ask with a smile: "Is my son obedient." ”
Wang Ying also felt that her pregnancy this time was different from when she was pregnant with the first two girls, she was very squeamish when she was pregnant with two girls, and she vomited at every turn.
Yang Wenhui reminded her that for the sake of this little one in her belly, she had to think about everything. Wang Ying worked hard to adjust her psychological state, she temporarily suppressed her thoughts about Shi Ke to the bottom of her heart, and devoted herself to the small one in her stomach.
Shi Dayong always feels panicked these days, he always feels like something is going to happen, he is worried about his family, Coco is lost, the family is sad, this hurdle is not so easy to pass, now Yingzi is pregnant, don't have anything to do, he didn't think about it when he was free, he was afraid of Yingzi like this for a while, and he was afraid of Yingzi like that for a while, and finally waited for the shift change, he couldn't wait to pack his luggage and rush home.
He couldn't wait to park the car, drove the car directly to the family home, parked the car on the side of the road, and ran home to take a look.
On a sunny day, the sun was the brightest in the morning, Wang Ying was sitting in the shadows under the eaves and making small clothes for babies, when she heard the door ringing, she raised her head and saw Shi Dayong looking at her with a worried face: "Dayong, you are back, why did you come back so early today?" She hurriedly put the clothes in her hand into the sewing basket and got up to meet them.
"Don't move, don't move." Shi Dayong walked a few steps quickly and looked at Wang Ying's face: "Yingzi, are you okay for the past two days?" ”
Wang Ying was puzzled by what she said, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong with you, what can I do?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Shi Dayong was relieved, but why did the ominousness in his heart always linger.
"Have you eaten it? I'm going to cook for you. Wang Ying sat for a long time, her waist was a little sore, she supported her back with her right hand and slowly stood up.
Shi Dayong hurriedly stepped forward and held Wang Ying's arm: "You slow down, I'm not in a hurry, you don't have to make it for me, let's just eat together in a while, eh, what about An An?" ”
"Look at your care." Shi Dayong was nervous about herself, Wang Ying's heart was warm, and she pursed her lips happily and smiled: "I'm still young this month, and I haven't shown my pregnancy yet, you don't have to be so nervous, sleep peacefully, it's time to wake up this time." ”
Shi Dayong tilted his head and looked into the room, An An's little chubby body was sleeping on the bed, he lowered his voice and said: "Let her sleep, I'll park the car in the unit first, and come back in a while, what is missing at home, I'll buy it back." ”
"There is nothing lacking at home, if you want to eat, you can buy some, and it is not early, I will start cooking."
Shi Dayong drove the car into the compound of the unit, and went in and walked around when he passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, today he just wanted to rush home, and he didn't buy anything on the way, Wang Ying was pregnant, and the nutrition was provided, he wanted to see what was delicious to buy for Wang Ying and An An.
The supply and marketing cooperatives are not vegetable markets, the things sold are not complete, and the last one who picks and chooses to buy three catties of eggs and two catties of cakes, he carries things and walks home, when he arrives home, Wang Ying, who is quick with his hands and feet, has washed the vegetables.
Hearing the knock on the door, Wang Ying glanced at it and asked, "What did you buy again?" ”
Shi Dayong raised his hand forward: "Buy some eggs and cakes, and the cakes will be eaten as snacks when you are hungry." ”
"You put your things on the table, bring three eggs first, and I'll make you a scrambled egg with chili."
An An heard his father's voice, pouted his little buttocks in a daze, got up, sat on the bed, rubbed his eyes, and called, "Dad." Then he opened two little fat hands: "Daddy hug." ”
"Oops, my daughter is awake." Shi Dayong put the thing down, turned around and was about to hug An An.
Wang Ying hurriedly stopped: "Don't hug her first!" Wash your hands and change your clothes first, how many times have I told you, look at you dirty, I don't know how to pay attention to hygiene. ”
Shi Dayong smiled: "I know, I'll go wash it." After speaking, he bent down and kissed An An's chubby face: "Look at your mother's fake clean, good, Dad will come to hug you in a while." ”
"Hmm." An An nodded obediently, and honestly sat on the bed waiting for her father to hug her.
Shi Dayong cleaned up, hugged An An in one hand, grabbed three eggs in the other, and handed them to Wang Ying: "What are you cooking?" ”
Wang Ying kept stirring the soup in the pot and said, "Amaranth gnocchi soup, don't you like to drink this?" When I took An An for a walk yesterday, I saw that there was a piece of water by the canal, which was very tender, so I pinched back a big basket and ate a few meals first. ”
Shi Dayong was a little distressed: "I said, Yingzi, don't you still have money at home, if you are pregnant, you will eat less of these wild vegetables or something, and if you want to eat, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy it, and I can't afford it." ”
"Yes, I know you can afford it." Wang Ying pouted unremittingly: "You don't just support me, you have to afford the big family behind you, I don't save a little, what if you can't afford that big family?" ”
"Look at you, and talk about it again." An An in Shi Dayong's arms: "Good girl, do you say that your mother is unreasonable." ”
"Unreasonable." An An pouted and repeated her father's words.
"Okay, you two have one heart, and none of my outsiders is unreasonable." Wang Ying took the soup pot aside and said, "You hold An An away, I'm going to fry chili peppers, don't choke her." ”
After eating, Wang Ying poured a cup of tea and put it in Shi Dayong's hand: "Dayong, how many days can you stay at home this time?" ”
Shi Dayong took a sip of water and said: "I'm going to stay for two more days, the work over there is almost over, when my family comes, I tell the successor that he will have two more days, and I will come back for him later." ”
Wang Ying disagreed: "Oh, I said, there's nothing going on at home, you might as well wait for me to be born and then change shifts with others, at that time, you stay at home for a few more days, otherwise I'm afraid to be alone at home." ”
Shi Dayong said worriedly: "It's okay, I'll find a way when the time comes, besides, my mother has to come to serve the confinement when you give birth, and I won't let you be at home alone, mainly because I always feel that something is wrong these days, and I always feel like something is going to happen, and I don't feel at ease when you and your child are at home." ”
Wang Ying sat on the edge of the bed with An An in her arms, and held An An's chubby hand to tease An An: "I'm such an adult, and I'm not a child, what's not to worry about?" ”
"Ugh." Shi Dayong sighed, got up and paced, and finally sat side by side with Wang Ying, held Wang Ying's shoulder with his right hand, and took her into his arms: "You and the child are my lifeblood, if you are not by my side, my heart will not be steady." ”
"It's sweet in your mouth." Wang Ying's heart was soft, listening to the strong and powerful beating sound in Shi Dayong's chest, breathing the mixed smell of cigarette and diesel on Shi Dayong's body, he felt that he was so happy at this moment.
The next morning, the sun just poked out of its head, the morning light shined into the house through the curtains warmly, the early rooster "oh oh" stretched his neck and barked, the dog was woken up, and the irritable "Wang" barked to vent his dissatisfaction.
Shi Dayong woke up in the sound of chickens and dogs, he moved, his eyes moved down, Wang Yingwo slept in his arms was sweet, An An put his legs on Wang Ying's legs, and the two little fat hands were raised on his cheeks and fell asleep soundly, this child, he has never been honest in sleeping, he turned over and rolled, his head was facing east when he slept, and when it was time to get up, his head was facing west. Shi Dayong picked up the thin quilt and put it lightly on An An's body, then lay down and continued to hug Wang Ying, he closed his eyes and stroked Wang Ying's smooth black hair one by one, he enjoyed this moment very much, his wife and children were by his side, it was the feeling of home, gradually, sleepiness came up, and he fell asleep again unconsciously.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn, and it was about nine o'clock when I saw the scene, Shi Dayong stretched his waist and sat up, only An An continued to fall asleep on the bed, but Wang Ying had already gotten up, and when she heard the sound from the kitchen, she knew that she was preparing breakfast.
Shi Dayong turned over and got out of bed, pulled his shoes and walked to the kitchen, and looked into the pot: "Yingzi, what are you cooking?"
Wang Ying picked up two eggs and touched them lightly on the edge of the pot, and put two poached eggs in it along the edge of the pot: "What can you have in the morning, order some noodles, you hurry up and wash, that's it." ”
Shi Dayong finished washing, took a towel and wiped it while walking, the noodles were already placed on the table, and Wang Ying was dressing An An, who had just woken up.
"Yo, my daughter is awake." Shi Dayong stood in front of the bed and teased An An: "Girl, call Dad." ”
Wang Ying's right elbow touched Shi Dayong: "The child just woke up, don't mess with her, let's go eat first." ”
"Then I'll eat first, and I'll watch the child after eating." Shi Dayong wiped his face clean, put the towel on the basin rack, sat down at the table, picked up a chopstick noodle, and ate it in a big gulp.
Every day at about nine o'clock, the postman will deliver the newspaper and the letter to the unit, Li Weiguo took the newspaper and was about to enter the house, the postman asked: "Comrade, Shi Dayong is not there?" ”
Li Weiguo turned around: "Master Shi, I saw his car, he should be at home at this time." ”
"Comrade, please tell me where his house is, I have a telegram from him, I have to send it to him quickly." The postman's tone was a little anxious.
"Telegram, who took the telegram for him? Could it be that there is news about his cocoa, you can bring it to me to see. Li Weiguo took the telegram, and looked at the address: C County, Shandong Province, a letter from Shi Dayong's hometown, there is no urgent matter in these years, who took the telegram, the telegram has come, it must have happened a great event, thinking of this, Li Weiguo hurriedly sent the telegram back to the postman: "Comrade, you hurry up, as soon as you enter the family home, the first room on the right side of the first row is Master Shi's house." ”
After breakfast, Shi Dayong took the simple literacy card made by Wang Ying to teach An An to read and write, and Wang Ying brushed the dishes on the side.
"It's big, big in size." Shi Dayong held up the "big" and read: "Great, An An came to learn from Dad." ”
"Great." An An casually followed along, but his eyes did not look at his father, and he tilted his little head to follow Wang Ying's figure.
"Tsk." Shi Dayong was dissatisfied, holding An An's little face and letting her look at herself: "Look at Dad, what is there to look at Mom, Dad won't go home for a few days, you don't want Dad." ”
An An's little face was already fat, but when she was praised by her father, her white fat cheeks were nested, her fleshy little mouth was pouting, and a trace of saliva at the corner of her mouth flowed uncontrollably, and she said delicately: "I miss my father." ”
Shi Dayong was happy, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he proudly showed off to Wang Ying: "It's better to be your own daughter, you miss me if you don't see me for a few days." ”
"Your child doesn't want who you want." Wang Ying glanced at Shi Dayong, stood up and put the bowl in the cupboard, and said in his heart that such a big person, why is he still like a child, and he can be happy like this with a good sentence!
"Is this Shi Dayong's home? Is Shi Dayong at home? An unfamiliar voice came from the door.
"It's Shi Dayong's family." Wang Ying hurriedly wiped his hand on his apron and was about to open the door, Shi Dayong picked up An An and followed Wang Ying out.
When she opened the door, Wang Ying didn't know anyone at first glance, but she knew the clothes that the person was wearing, dark green overalls, and she could recognize it as someone from the post office at a glance.
"I'm Shi Dayong, comrade, do you have something to do with me?" Shi Dayong stepped forward and asked the postman.
"There's a telegram from you." The postman said as he handed the telegram to Shi Dayong.
"Telegram? Who came? Shi Dayong was a little puzzled, handed An An to Wang Ying, and took the telegram himself to tear it open.
"Comrade, the telegram has arrived, I'll go first." Seeing that the task was completed, the postman got on his bicycle and said goodbye to Shi Dayong.
"Oh, thank you, comrade, go slowly."
Sending off the postman, Shi Dayong opened the telegram suspiciously, and when he boarded the five big words "Father is critically ill, return quickly" burst into his eyes, Shi Dayong "popped" violently, and suddenly his hands and feet were cold and stayed there still.
Dayong's expression was wrong, Wang Ying was uneasy in his heart, hugged An An, and leaned forward to Shi Dayong: "Dayong, who is the telegram?" She pulled the telegram out of Shi Dayong's hand, and when she saw the words on it, she was stunned for an instant.
