Chapter 43: I Miss My Daughter
Because Huo Yibao's factory was about to start, and his lawyer's cousin also suggested that he start work first (because of the Chinese New Year, the indictment was not submitted until the eighth day of the first lunar month, and according to his previous experience in handling divorce lawsuits in S City, it was estimated that it would take a month to go to court), so he drove his family to City A on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
After arriving at the place, the family first started cleaning, after all, there was no one living in it for a month, and it was really impossible not to clean it up, so it had to take a lot of effort. Because it was more than six o'clock in the afternoon, the baby had already fallen asleep, Huo Xiaorou put the child on the bed made by her mother and joined the cleaning work.
After everything was cleaned up, after eating a good meal, and everyone finished washing, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Huo Xiaorou felt extremely tired. The baby has been playing for a while before falling asleep after breastfeeding.
Huo Xiaorou took out her new book - a book about psychology, ready to read it, she has loved reading since she was a child, and basically only read textbooks before going to college - because a primary school teacher told her that reading extracurricular books would delay her studies - but when she was in college, she was crazy about detective novels, so she only read more than 100 detective novels before ending her college life.
Huo Xiaorou looked at the wonderful analysis of people's psychological problems in the book, and couldn't help but say to herself: "It's a pity, there are so many good books in school, why do you only read some detective novels?" β
"Bell bell bellβ"
Just when Huo Xiaorou was reading seriously, the mobile phone suddenly rang, she picked up the phone and saw that it was He Weiye's number, and couldn't help but be taken aback, then calmed down and connected the phone.
"Hey-I, uh-huh-that, I-" He Weiye knew that he should speak first, but just by answering the phone, he couldn't control his emotions and couldn't say what he had prepared beforehand.
"Well, you say, I'll listen!" There was no bad emotion in Huo Xiaorou's tone, but it was also too calm, as if she was chatting with someone she had just met - polite without any intimacy.
"IβCan I see the child? I can't stand it, really! After so many days, I feel like I have fallen into a black hole where I can't see my fingers, and the longer I wait, the more hopeless I become, please, stop torturing me like this! I really miss my daughter! He Weiye didn't want to stalemate with Huo Xiaorou anymore at this time, he cried weakly (he doesn't cry often, because his parents often say that boys don't flick when they have tears), and silently begged the other party to make concessions because of this, and then solve this quarrel perfectly.
The miserable crying of the phone is like the rain that cannot be stopped even during the rainy season, giving the illusion that it will last forever. Huo Xiaorou couldn't help frowning when she heard this unproductive cry, but she didn't speak, just let the other party vent his own emotions wantonly like a child.
At this time, He Weiye was carefully considered, this time he did not ask for the opinions of his parents, and acted completely according to his own ideas. In these days of waiting, he became more and more uncertain, and the sighing posture of his parents all day made him feel like he had lost the way forward, leaving only despair and helplessness. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was really scared, and he clearly knew that he could only ask Huo Xiaorou for help in person to solve the current predicament.
"Calm down, okay?" Huo Xiaorou persuaded him in a very soft tone as he expected, and kept gently comforting him, "Calm down, don't be like a child, okay?" You are a father of a child, you should try to be responsible for your actions and you should try to learn to be responsible for your emotions. Can you understand? β
"Hmm!" This probably means that she has forgiven him, otherwise why didn't she yell at him angrily? He thought.
Huo Xiaorou's calm tone made He Weiye's flustered heart slowly calm down. He began to match her tone and obediently took her advice like a schoolboy. He knew that he was going to lose at her hands after all, and in the face of a daughter-in-law like a tigress, resistance would never lead to good results, and he was not ready to resist. To be honest, now as long as she doesn't get divorced, he is willing to listen to whatever she says, even if he is a "strict wife" who can't hold his head up for the rest of his life, he is willing, really!
"You know what? I think you're quite pitiful, really, I don't hate you, I don't hate you, I don't even have a way to hate you, I know, it's cheap, but I just don't want to turn against you, I still want to leave a decent ending for this relationship. Huo Xiaorou's tone sounded like an autumn drizzle, with thick and complex emotions in her sadness. She carefully told her true thoughts in her heart, and made a final farewell to herself and her first love.
"Why are you so noisy over there? Why do I always hear cars? Although He Weiye's tone was still crying, he had completely returned to his former calm, and at this time, he cared more about the environment she was in than Huo Xiaorou's words.
"Oh, I'm in City A now!" Huo Xiaorou said casually.
"What?" He Weiye was shocked, raised his voice in disbelief, and then immediately calmed down and said gently: "You went back!" β
Although He Weiye wanted to ask her why she went back, he didn't dare to ask, for fear of getting a negative answer. But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood again - Huo Xiaorou is not divorced! I don't need to ask this, if she wants to get a divorce, why did she go back? After all, she is still reluctant to give him and a divorce! In fact, some of her words that he didn't understand very clearly just now - this can't be blamed on him, it's because Huo Xiaorou likes to pretend when she speaks - suddenly became easy to understand, and the words she said were obviously 'confessions of love'.
"I know that my heart is the same as yours!" Now that the other party has forgiven him, then he He Weiye must not miss any opportunity to express his love to her, otherwise he will really live up to the true feelings of this good woman!
"If, I mean, one day you can really grow up and become a good man with responsibility, my daughter and I will be happy for you, and we will always support you. If, one day in the future, you are mature; What if, one day, you can prove yourself...... That,IγI don't know what to say, in short, I won't remarry in three or five years, don't worry, I won't talk about the rest, you work hard yourself! Do you understand what I mean? No matter how determined Huo Xiaorou was, he could never completely deny his existence from his heart, and even left a place for him in the future he fantasized.
"Uh-huh! I know! He Weiye regarded Huo Xiaorou's words as a promise for her to forgive herself, and almost flew happily, but in order to show her that he had matured, he still deliberately suppressed his happiness and excitement that almost gushed out, and pretended to answer his wife's words in a calm tone.
"Okay." Huo Xiaorou only replied with two words, sounding like she was in a good mood.
This is natural, husband and wife are reconciled, can they be in a bad mood? He Weiye thought to himself.
"Can you show me a picture of my daughter?" He Weiye knew that Huo Xiaorou attached great importance to his daughter, and at this time he had to show his love for his children more openly. It's not that he doesn't love children, but it's a girl after all, and if it's a boy, not only will he love it, but his parents will be happier.
Huo Xiaorou agreed to his request, and quickly built a photo album that was only visible to him.
The conversation between the two ended in peace and harmony.
After He Weiye finished the call, his heart was like putting down a big stone, and he could easily fall asleep almost immediately. To tell the truth, these days, he has hardly slept a single night, and he is so uncomfortable that he dies every day. Now that it's finally good, Huo Xiaorou has returned to City A, so she must not be divorced!
"No, I can't sleep! I have to tell my mom and dad the good news! He said to himself, "I wonder if they are asleep?" Probably not, how can you sleep? β
He Weiye ran downstairs quickly and found that his parents had not slept yet.
"She's definitely not going to get divorced!" Si Damei looked at her son, who was getting more and more haggard, and comforted him distressedly.
"That's right! I think so too! He Chenggong took a deep puff of cigarette and continued: "Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone back!" For such a long distance, the light road fee has to cost thousands of dollars! No matter how rich their family is, her parents won't be so tormented! β
"Yes, yes, yes!" Si Damei nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking.
"Really?" He Weiye pretended that he had never had such an idea, and secretly enjoyed the words that sounded as good as praise again. An irrepressible joy hit his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled.
"You say, if she is still divorced, what will she do when she goes back?" He Chenggong asked.
"Hmm!" He Weiye nodded in agreement, and pursed his lips aggrievedly and happily.
"Alas! As long as you don't get divorced, you can! Si Damei exhaled in frustration, and pulled out a dry smile with relief.
"Oops! All right! He Chenggong patted his thigh, as if he had completed a big event, and said with a sigh: "That's good!" β
Si Damei looked at her husband's relieved expression, her heart flew lightly, and all her troubles seemed to disappear at this moment.
An atmosphere of miraculous optimism began to spread from He Chenggong, and after the sublimation of Si Damei, it turned into a huge hope, slowly holding He Weiye up, and the happiness in his heart was like a hydrogen balloon that was suddenly released and floated higher and higher.
With the help of this family conversation, the three members of the He family drove back to their place of work non-stop the next day, M City.
