When Huai'an was young, he always thought that the world was only as big as the yard at home, with a mother, a younger sister, and a father who returned by the moonlight, who warmed the meal on the stove for a long time, and then served it to the table.

When I was older, the family invited a teacher, and the three younger sisters in the yard next door also came to play together, and the eldest sister was arrogant and not bad; The sister in the middle is gentle and is an excellent one to get along with; The youngest sister has the least contact, always following behind the second sister, not leaving a single step, and it's also very interesting.

In this way, when he was twelve or thirteen years old, Huai'an began to make friends with people outside, although there were always some people who were hostile to his own family, but most of the friends who came and went were friendly, and he was convenient for himself everywhere, but there were not many difficulties.

But since the distant cousin who was as close as a sister left, Huai'an's small courtyard suddenly became strange, and the originally loving mother was also a little impatient everywhere, often sending some unexplained tempers, and when it was late at night, she came to Huai'an's house to sob, saying that she must be forgiven.

The father, who came home one day at a time, occasionally did not come back, or in the middle of the night, drunk, pulling on his filthy boots, came back from outside, and then quarreled with his mother, which was nothing more than some trivial things in the family.

At this time, Huai'an will miss Ling'er very much, think of her smile, and be happy for a hairpin for a few days.

Later, even Huai'an himself became numb, often floating in mid-air, looking at himself who seemed to be being carried around, he laughed, he laughed, but the corners of his mouth couldn't be cocked, like an abandoned dog, he kept hanging his ears and kept walking forward.

After a long journey of life, when I am old, I will look at this puppet again, there is a daughter named Ling'er who often comes back to see herself on the chaise longue, and then turns back to play with her brother, at that time, there will be enough furrows on her face to keep the old tears.

It should be like this, Huai'an thought silently in his heart, his trembling hand, stretched out to the face of Zhang Niangzi who was sleeping on the soft couch, but he couldn't get over, stayed on his shoulder, shook the sleeping person, and said, "I'm back." ”

Mrs. Zhang woke up and saw Huai'an with a sad face, so she immediately got up from the soft couch and asked, "What's wrong, but what grievances did you suffer outside?" ”

"Nope." Huai'an turned his face away, smiled reluctantly, and asked, "What are you going to eat tonight?" As he spoke, he took off his vest again, opened his hands, and waited for someone to untie his clothes, and was stunned for a while before he went to untie it himself.

Mrs. Zhang, who has always been sensitive, didn't notice anything at this time, and went to the door to ask someone to bring up all the food on the stove, which was a sumptuous four dishes and one soup.

"Is anyone coming today?" Huai'an wasn't unaware, but he still subconsciously avoided the question, should a competent husband pretend not to know at this time.

Zhang Niangzi was cooking and eating, and when she heard Huai'an ask, she lowered her head and wanted to say something. When silence was better than sound, there was a churn in the stomach, and Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth, looking like she wanted to vomit, and then ran out of the door.

Seeing this scene, the mother-in-law in the back said with a smile, "Congratulations to the young master, the young lady is happy." ”

"Oh." It's not a disappointment, but Huai'an can't laugh at all, just remembered that when he wanted to chase out, Zhang Niangzi had returned to the house with a weak face, a little apologetic, but those eyes flickered, and he very much hoped that Huai'an would pierce this layer of window paper.

Huai'an raised his hand, moved like a wirekeeper, went over to help Mrs. Zhang, and asked, "Are you better?" ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded and asked softly, "You know everything?" ”

"Well, have you called a doctor to come to your house?" Greetings as always, neither salty nor light.

Mrs. Zhang nodded shyly, like many women who knew for the first time that they were going to be mothers, both shy and very surprised.

But the father, who should have jumped up happily, lowered his head heavily at this time, smiled reluctantly, and said, "What does the doctor say?" ”

"It's mainly about eating, there are some taboos, and I have asked my mother-in-law to tell the kitchen. And... Mrs. Zhang stopped talking, looking at Huai'an with a pair of eyes stupidly.

"What else?" Huai'an and Mrs. Zhang sat down side by side, sandwiched some dishes for her, and sandwiched some for herself to eat.

"My feet have been swollen recently, and the doctor told me to go out and walk more, and don't always be stuffy in the yard." wanted to talk about it, Zhang Niangzi picked a few unimportant ones and said.

"Well, bring a few more people. If you feel bored, ask Sister Tian to accompany you. Huai Anxin replied absentmindedly, and felt that a large table of dishes on the table could not be eaten, so he blindly sandwiched some of them in the bowl for Mrs. Zhang, and they were about to overflow.

Mrs. Zhang, who was immersed in joy, naturally didn't go into these things, but felt that he was also loving her, and his heart was sweeter, he could marry someone he had fallen in love with since he was a child, and he had a child, what could he not be satisfied with.

The two ate and sat in the hall for a while, not to mention the sweetness, and when it was time to rest, Huai'an also followed Zhang Niangzi back to the house as usual, and was stopped outside by Zhang Niangzi shyly.

“··· There were so many people just now, I don't have to say. The doctor said that he couldn't do that, and for the sake of the baby, it was best to sleep in separate beds in these two or three months. ”

"Oh." Huai'an suddenly felt relieved, turned around and was about to go out, but was hugged by Mrs. Zhang behind her, buried her head in her back, and said cautiously, "Are you angry?" Either you might as well sleep here, and we'll all bear with it. ”

Huai'an turned his back, brushed aside the broken hair on Zhang Niangzi's forehead, and whispered to Zhang Niangzi, "No, I'll go sleep in the study, it just so happens that I've been a little busy recently, and there are always some things to deal with." Wait a minute, I'll call a Tian Xiang to guard here, and you can call her if there's anything you want. ”

In the study, someone had already lit the lamp and put it aside. Huai'an, who entered the house, was a little overwhelmed, and he stopped suddenly, and some of them couldn't find the north.

Huai'an walked to the soft couch in the study, sat down, buried his head, and suddenly saw his toes, splashed with some mud, squatted down, wiped with his hands, and still left some mud marks. Huai'an got angry, and rubbed it with his hand again, but there was still a shadow there, and because of the rubbing, the newly made boots were also wrinkled, and they looked even more ugly.

Huai'an simply took off his boots, threw them away, and fell into bed with his clothes and fell asleep directly.

Woo woo, when Huai'an didn't get up, he heard a burst of crying, sobbing, resentful, wanting to raise his hand to wipe away her tears, and was stabbed by the sun outside the door.

Huai'an struggled for a long time, but still opened his eyes and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

The woman didn't know if she didn't think that the person on the soft couch would wake up so early, or if she didn't realize that her cry was harsh enough, she hurriedly wiped her tears, turned her back, and said, "It's okay." ”

It's okay! How could it be okay! Both eyes were about to cry and swollen, or said that it was okay, Huai'an got up and wanted to put on the boots, only to find that the boots had long been thrown away, his eyes were closed, he was a little annoyed by all this, and he had to step on his socks, followed, turned the woman's body, and asked, "But what grievances have you suffered?" As soon as he was excited, Huai'an suddenly really woke up, thinking of being hit by someone last night, could it be that the third sister came over early in the morning to say that.

Huai'an was on alert, and when he saw that Mrs. Zhang didn't reply, she asked again, "Has the third sister been here?" Mrs. Zhang wiped away her tears, felt a little better, and then said, "I was wrong last night, I shouldn't have driven you here to sleep, should you go back to sleep tonight." "Talking about it again, I didn't know the inside story at all.

Originally, for this matter, Huai An patted Zhang Niangzi on the shoulder with his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll go to the house and fall asleep on the soft couch at night, so as not to think about it anymore." ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Zhang nodded, looked down at Huai'an and didn't have shoes on, she was happy and distressed, pushed the person back, and said, "I'll ask them to bring you a change of clothes, do you want to go early today?" ”

Huai'an sat back again, waved his hand, and said, "I'm not going this morning, I'll accompany you at home, don't you want to go out for a walk?" When I'm washed, I'll go with you. ”

Before Mrs. Zhang went out, she had sent a mother-in-law to the western suburbs outside the city, and went around for a long time before waiting for Liang Tian, who was going to Huai'an's house, at an intersection. The mother-in-law hurried over and saluted, "Third girl, it's really easy for me to find, my young lady sent me to tell you, the young master is going out with her today, if the third girl wants to find her, she has to go to the city to find her, don't go to the house, lest she run in vain." ”

Liang Tian thanked his mother-in-law, turned around and wanted to go back to the house, after three streets, he was greeted by a person who was not very familiar, and saw Liang Tian salute from afar, Liang Tian also returned the salute, and when he got closer, he remembered that this person who had a few sides was Huai'an's cousin Yao Hua, who was a gentleman on the surface, but his eyes were always a little cunning.

"Third girl, where is this going?" The man saluted.

Liang Tian also returned the salute, pointed to the alley in front of him, and said, "I'm idle, just walking around, but how did Yao Gongzi come all the way to this western suburb." ”

was originally a cunning ghost, but talking about human words, Yao Hua waved his hand and said loudly, "Just do something for your uncle, I heard that the third girl was seriously ill some time ago, and she looks good today, but is she okay?" ”

"It's much better, thank you Yao Gongzi for your concern."

Liang Tian has always disliked people with scholarly temperament, although the other side is very polite, he doesn't want to stay for a long time, so he casually finds an excuse to go back.
