Cheng Xujiang was completely awake, ignoring Qin Manrong's worried eyes, he walked out of the bedroom with his mobile phone and went to the study.

took a cigarette in his mouth, and just lit it, he heard Cheng Mo on the other end with displeasure, "Snuff out the cigarette." ”

"Oh." Cheng Xujiang didn't hesitate for a second to pinch his cigarette, he was an obedient old father, and after pinching the cigarette, he felt bored, so he took a mint candy and stuffed it into his mouth, and then asked slowly, "What do you want to ask back then?" Son, there are some things that you can forget, and Dad doesn't want to remind you, nor do you want to remember them. ”

Cheng Mo smiled lightly when he heard this, "Don't worry, I don't ask about my mother." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Xujiang was relieved, "Then what do you want to know?" ”

Cheng Mo: "When I was a child, my mother was not in good health and couldn't give birth, and I wanted a younger brother, didn't our family fund a welfare home at that time?" ”

Cheng Xujiang's gaze drifted a little far, as if he was taken back to more than 20 years ago by his son's words.

"It's not funded by our family, it's your mother's kindness, she has been taking care of the Jiangcheng Seedling Welfare Institute. At that time, the conditions of the welfare home were really not very good, and the family planning policy had not been relaxed at that time, and people were not civilized in their thinking. ”

"At that time, because I could only have one child, but I wanted my son to inherit the lineage, if I was born a girl, I might throw it away, and it was okay to throw it in front of the welfare home, at least there was a way to live, and some of them were thrown into the river."

When people get older, they talk about it, but everything they say has to be round, and the background of the era has to be explained clearly, for fear that young people will not understand.

Just like grandparents sometimes reminisce about the past, the beginning is always that you are living a better life now, and our era is hard!

Cheng Mo didn't intend to interrupt his father's babbling words, he walked to the kitchen with his steps. Obviously, because of the healthy lifestyle, people who basically don't eat supper.

I opened the refrigerator and saw the handmade berry yogurt and cheese and peach cake in the crisper.

Holding the phone, he took the plate and cup in one hand, and put out the yogurt and cake in the box.

"I have a good heart and have been sponsoring welfare homes. Actually, it doesn't have much to do with the fact that you want a younger sibling, and when she started funding the welfare home, she didn't have anything to do with you. ”

Cheng Mo: "Well, I wanted a younger brother later, I don't remember it clearly, and I don't know if it was the cause of the drug later or the psychiatrist's tricks, I can't remember what happened during that time." During this time, I slowly remembered something. ”

Cheng Xujiang paused at the end, and then said, "When you came back last time, you also mentioned that you wanted to go to the welfare home to get a younger brother when you were a child, and I didn't react at the time, but now that I think about it, you haven't mentioned it for so many years." ”

"I remember having a younger brother." Cheng Mo took a sip of the yogurt on the spoon.

It was made by Ye Tang, and she brought it to him yesterday, and she suddenly became very confused about the ingredients every once in a while, and then the dishes she made would revolve around the ingredients.

Recently, I've been obsessed with yogurt, and even the yellow peach cake is a yogurt cheesecake.

"What brother." Cheng Xujiang smiled, "It's just a little girl, beautiful." But the hair is pushed short ......"

"Dog-like melon skin head, black and thin...... A pair of eyes are exceptionally good-looking. Cheng Mo said in a low voice, and then asked his father, "Is that right?" ”

Cheng Xujiang didn't think much about it, he only remembered that she was a good-looking short-haired girl, and because her hair was short, her son insisted on being a younger brother.

But at this moment, hearing Cheng Mo say this, Cheng Xujiang gradually appeared in his mind such a black, thin, skinny girl with a melon skin head shape and good-looking eyes.

"Do you really remember...... Cheng Xujiang muttered, "I don't remember clearly, I was busy with work at that time, most of it was your mother who took you every time, and I only went there once or twice, I can't remember clearly." But it should be such a little girl, yes. ”

Cheng Xujiang smiled, "You like that kid very much, every time you come back from the welfare home, you tell me." At first I went once a month, but you liked the kid so much that you went every week until ......"

Speaking of this, Cheng Xujiang's voice stopped abruptly.

Cheng Mo knew what the second half of the suspension was, until his mother died.

Later, when he was young, his state collapsed, and there was such a big incident in the family, the hostess died suddenly, and the young son seemed to have lost his soul. The matter of going to the welfare home and the matter of adoption was naturally put aside.

Cheng Mo didn't bring the topic to his mother's death, but only asked in a low voice, "Dad, what happened to her later, do you know?" ”

Cheng Mo took a deep breath, and exhaled with a slight trembling, "What happened to that child, you...... You know? It's not like I've been curious for a while. But I ...... I didn't dare to inquire. ”

I suddenly had such an impulse tonight, ask my father, if my father knows, then I know, if my father doesn't know, Cheng Mo feels that I'm afraid ...... Still don't dare to ask.

Cheng Xujiang was silent for a while before he sighed, "I know." ”

Cheng Mo's lips trembled, "She...... What do you think? ”

"At that time, there was such a big thing in our family, you were not in a good state, I was all focused on you, and I couldn't take care of the welfare home, and the money for the welfare home was opened by your mother alone, and it was automatically transferred every month. And the welfare institute knew that there was such a big incident in our family, and they didn't dare to mention the child's matter. ”

"It wasn't until almost a year later, when there was no money in that account and I couldn't automatically transfer the account, that the director of the welfare home was very embarrassed and came to tell me about it. Seeing that I had recovered from my grief, I mentioned the child's business. Only then did I learn that because our family had the intention to adopt before, the welfare home had always been supported by our family, and the child was also ...... I want to be a child for our family. ”

Cheng Xujiang's voice revealed a little unbearable and helpless, "So the welfare institute didn't make other arrangements for her, but if she was getting older and older, no one would care about her." Children in welfare homes are like this, the older they are, the more difficult it is to be taken out. ”

Cheng Xujiang sighed, "I heard the dean say that the kid ...... Every day, I go to the small wooden horse that can see the gate of the welfare home. Waited a year. Fortunately, the child's father came later and took the child back, and the specific adopter's information was confidential, so I didn't ask in detail. But as far as the dean said, the father's economic conditions are okay, so the child can be regarded as having a good home. The kid was four or five years old, right? I don't think I remember much. is also smart and well-behaved, and should have a good life. Besides, it's better for my father to take it back than to my adoptive parents. ”
