Chapter 84: A flash of inspiration
There was silence in the ward, but the child in Aunt Xue's arms was "babbling" and laughing.
"Look, your brother is smiling, which means that things will be fine, it's not a big deal!" Aunt Xue said to Shi Xiucui, in fact, this was said to Comrade Lao Shi.
"This kid is still very clever, you should give your sister an idea, don't let her be so anxious again." Comrade Lao Shi also seemed to feel the magic of this little life.
"Dad, I want to go to his house to find his parents, I can't wait at home. He went to the Soviet Union, and there is a project over there that has not been completed, but I can't just wait for him to finish it and come back to me! I have to go to his house. Shi Xiucui muttered.
"There is an engineering project in the Soviet Union, this kid is quite capable of tossing, no wonder my daughter can take a fancy to it." Lao Shi also felt a little relieved.
"I can't say this well, whether to go to his house or not, you don't have to worry about it here, I can find someone to help you complete the graduation certificate." Lao Shi agreed with Shi Xiucui's idea.
"Whether your sister is going or not, Xiaohuzi, you said that your sister is not going." Aunt Xue teased her son, where does the little guy know anything, as long as someone teases him, of course he cooperates.
"It seems that this kid still has some aura. This time, you're really going to have to think about it. If you make up your mind, I'm not going to be able to say anything. Dad will always be your strong support. Lao Shi saw this, but he didn't want to doubt anything anymore.
Shi Xiucui was very sad in her heart, with a broken family, a sick father, and an infant child,,, Shi Xiucui didn't feel any strong backing as Comrade Shi said. Originally, Shi Xiucui thought that her boyfriend Guo Degui could bring her happiness, but now it seems how naïve and ridiculous her thoughts were at that time.
"Well, these days, you go and ask for sick leave. When I'm done, I'll accompany you to find that, your boyfriend's parents. After all, it's a bit inappropriate for you to come forward alone. Lao Shi continued his words.
"I think I'd better contact him myself, and if he's in China, let him take me to his house. Rest assured, I'll be the first to let you know the results. Shi Xiucui was afraid that if Comrade Lao Shi followed, her lies would be exposed.
Shi Xiucui just didn't want her father to be anxious because of her, and she also knew that Lao Shi couldn't help with this matter. Having said that, she doesn't even know where Guo Deguang is, where do you want her to find it. Instead of making Lao Shi sad in vain, it is better to take one step at a time.
After returning home from the hospital, Aunt Xue put her son to sleep and came to Shi Xiucui's room alone.
"Cuicui, Auntie wants to talk to you." Aunt Xue asked tentatively.
"Say whatever you want, we're all family." Shi Xiucui replied mechanically.
"How much of what you said to your dad today is true? I know you feel sorry for your dad and don't want him to worry about you, but even I don't believe what you said! Aunt Xue continued.
"I'm telling the truth that my boyfriend's family is really rich, but his parents are gone, and I've been to his rural hometown. I'm going to look for him there, after all, the baby in my womb is his own. I don't feel like she's going to be too ruthless with me. Shi Xiucui said.
Compared with her father Lao Shi, Shi Xiucui was even more reluctant to confide the truth in front of Aunt Xue. She didn't want Aunt Xue to look down on her, and besides, Aunt Xue didn't put much thought into herself. Shi Xiucui thinks that as a stepmother, Aunt Xue has no difficulty for herself, and it is already very good to expect someone who is not related by blood to have a deeper love for you, which is also an unlikely thing in itself.
To say that Shi Xiucui mentioned the child in her belly, it would mean to be sarcastic about Aunt Xue. Didn't your Aunt Xue use this hand to divorce Lao Shi and his wife. However, Aunt Xue's successful case gave Shi Xiucui a psychological hint, making her feel that she could use pregnancy to achieve some goals, even if Aunt Xue didn't expect Lao Shi to divorce at that time, but marrying Lao Shi, wouldn't her Aunt Xue be the junior.
Since Aunt Xue couldn't say anything comforting, she could only use her actions to prove her concern for Shi Xiucui, and she gave Shi Xiucui two thousand yuan. Since you, Shi Xiucui, have decided to go to find someone Guo Deguang, this is something that can't be stopped.
Shi Xiucui told a lie, but this lie can't be recovered, time waits for no one now, of course, this "person" will not discuss it with her because of the grim reality situation.
Since she has no clue, she will stumble into it by mistake, and the first thing she thought of was his ex-boyfriend - Guo Degui.
"What kind of spring breeze blew you here? Miss me, huh! Guo Degui and Shi Xiucui met in a secluded corner of the university.
Seeing Shi Xiucui coming, Guo Degui's mood was still complicated. Maybe everyone was not calm that day, but now that many months have passed, Guo Degui's heart has finally fallen to the ground. When he looked at Shi Xiucui again, he ignited his desire again.
"I don't think much of you, but there's something I need your help with right now, and I think you'll be able to help with that." Shi Xiucui said unhurriedly, she clearly saw the intention in Guo Degui's eyes, and in the past, she would feel shy or excited. But now, all she felt was nausea.
"One day husband and wife, since you chose to leave me, I won't blame you. Besides, you helped me when I was in trouble, although you didn't last to the end, I am also very grateful to you, I am willing to help you,,," Guo Degui said as he looked at Shi Xiucui.
"Guo Degui, I'm pregnant, it's been a few months, you see what to do! I'm dying. Shi Xiucui saw Guo Degui coming over and hurriedly said what happened.
When Guo Degui heard the news, he trembled towards Shi Xiucui's body leaning over, and then retreated back to his original place. Shi Xiucui saw Guo Degui's appearance, and thought to herself, how could she be with such a person in the first place? Shi Xiucui knew that the child's father should not be Guo Degui, but when she saw Guo Degui in trouble, she cowered, as if she was taking him to heart again.
"Cuicui, you see this kid or don't, don't ask for it. Look at you, you're a girl, it's not a good thing to let people know like this. Guo Degui became poor for a while.
Of course, Guo Degui didn't want Shi Xiucui to have any impact on his graduation, and he had been living in fear for the past few months. In the first two days of the new semester, he even had a problem sleeping, always waking up involuntarily, and always dreaming that he was taken away by the police. But the more he tried to avoid it, the clearer Tasha's face became in his mind. During the day, he was still a serious substitute teacher for secondary school students, he no longer dared to see Shi Xiucui, and he no longer had the heroic appearance he had when he was just a substitute teacher. The students seemed to feel that something was wrong, and everyone was busy with graduation, so they were in no mood to listen to the class. Even the students who were willing to listen to the class saw Guo Degui's performance, and they didn't pay attention to him anymore. A few months have passed, Guo Degui has gradually freed himself from fear, and although his body has become thinner, it has not affected his mood of graduating. Originally, he still wanted to stay in school, but after this blow, his original desire has also faded a lot.
"I don't know about this at home, I want to discuss it with you, I really don't know what to do." Shi Xiucui didn't have much hope, she didn't want Guo Degui to help him anything, seeing Guo Degui's performance, Shi Xiucui would do it.
"Cuicui, you see, although I am your substitute teacher, we are all still, we are still students. I'm also going to graduate. It's a tricky thing for us. Besides, our relationship was also broken up by you. I'm not saying that I don't take on this responsibility, it's just that the timing is a little bit inappropriate. Guo Degui stumbled and stumbled, thinking that he had finally been relieved of a trouble, and another trouble would follow.
"You just don't want this child, if you don't want it, just say it, and I don't want to rely on you. Don't think too much about it, this kid is my own good, you don't have to worry about it. The more Guo Degui dodged like this, the more unbalanced Shi Xiucui became.
"I didn't say it that way, but we were separated, and I meant that even if we were separated, I would still be responsible for my mistakes. I'm just saying that the time is now to have this child, which is not very suitable for either of us. Guo Degui still wants to stabilize Shi Xiucui first, he wants to beat the child out. Seeing that Shi Xiucui didn't mean not to have children, he was a little anxious.
"Mr. Guo, even if I didn't come to you today. I can't go to school like this, and I can't go back home. It's a big deal that one corpse and two lives, I saw the wrong person, and I was to blame. Shi Xiucui said firmly.
Xiucui also learned this from her stepmother, Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue did not force her father Lao Shi to agree to be responsible for the child, but just wanted to give birth to the child herself.
"I see, I think it's better not to have this child, I think I'll accompany you to the hospital to take this child down, if you want a child in the future, we can have another child!" Guo Degui resolutely didn't want this child, he was thinking about his future now and how to stabilize Shi Xiucui.
"In the future, do we have a future, even Yin Xiaofen and Sister Xiaofen told me that you are unreliable, I was really confused at that time, and I chose to continue to associate with you. You're scared now, you violated your cousin's girlfriend Tasha at that time, if not, if I hadn't gone to find your cousin, would you still be able to study in school now, and still be a substitute teacher? Shi Xiucui understood Guo Degui's thoughts and didn't want to let him go.
"I asked you, I asked you to help me go and intercede with my cousin. However, I didn't let you, let you ,,, with him" Guo Degui suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
