Chapter 4: Survival is more important than fame
In August in the south, the sun is hot in the morning.
A person who is alone can't stand the steaming and roasting of the weather, let alone holding a fat doll in his hand.
"I'm exhausted."
Li Tian'er wiped the sweat from her forehead and stood on a ramp to rest.
"Mom, Mom-"
The fat doll hugged her neck and pouted and kissed her on the face.
The kiss from the little baby caught her off guard made Li Tianer stunned for a moment.
"Mom, Mom."
The fat doll screamed again, flashing a pair of pure, watery eyes, as if to comfort her, and as if to give her strength.
Li Tian'er's heart was hot, and she kissed the fat doll's face twice.
Loved by his mother, Kai Kai giggled and danced.
"Kaikai, good baby."
There is no money, no house, and no job, but Li Tiantian at least has a son who loves her unconditionally.
Li Tian'er hugged the fat doll tightly, and walked with full strength.
When the sun was about to set, Li Tian'er spent the last dime in her wallet, but she still didn't find a suitable place to live.
I returned home with Kai Kai in my arms and warmed a bag of milk mixed in rice cereal. After feeding the baby, he paced back and forth in the house with a sad brow.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
I want to go to the street to set up a stall to sell rice and fruits to make money, but I am afraid that the baby will suffer from heat stroke.
The phone rang again, and she covered her ears not wanting to listen.
It is estimated that Li's mother called her in the doctor's office again, and wanted to ask her to go to the hospital to talk to her. Li's mother was accompanied by other patients in the ward, but Li's mother was the only one who couldn't get over her face.
When is it, this mother doesn't care about her daughter's life or death, she only cares about her face.
My mother's family is unreliable, so I can only fend for myself.
Li Tian'er really can't figure it out, how can there be such a mother in the world!
At this time, it was as if a floodgate suddenly opened in my mind, and the past came flooding back like smoke.
Li Tiantian's twenty-five years of life is like a movie screen passing in front of her eyes. She was surprised, angry, and then slowly calmed down.
Looking down at Kai Kai's sweet sleeping face, she no longer hesitated.
A widow's reputation is nothing compared to facing homelessness tomorrow with her children.
She is not afraid of shadows, as long as she and Chen Bo are innocent and not afraid of others talking behind their backs, even if they talk about her, they will not lose anything.
found the phone number that Chen Bo left her last night, no longer hesitated, picked up the phone and dialed Chen Bo's number.
A charming voice came from the phone.
Li Tian'er thought that she had made a mistake, so she hung up and redialed, but it was still the woman's voice. This time, without waiting for her to say that she had made a mistake, the other party said first: "Are you looking for Chen Bo?" He's taking a shower, how about I ask him to call you later? ”
After the other party finished speaking, he chuckled, "There have been so many women looking for Chen Bo recently, and I'm jealous." But don't worry, I won't clear your calls. ”
The other party's tone was improper, Li Tian'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.
"It's okay to clear my call, I can call him again."
"Huh? That's right! If I unplug the phone line, no one will bother us. But I'm afraid that Chen Bo will get angry, and he will start a fire to eat me......
The indecent voice laughed arbitrarily, not taking Li Tian'er seriously at all.
Think about it in Hong Kong City, as long as there is a place where she Li Tianer appears, who is not smiling before and after the saddle.
The person who dares not to take her seriously has not yet been born!
However, being a man has to judge the situation and be able to bend and stretch.
No matter what the relationship between the other party and Chen Bo is, it's better not to care.
If you don't do it, you will be jealous of being a woman. She just wanted to borrow Chen Bo's house for a while.
As Chen Bo said, his house is big, and she only needs a small room to live with the baby temporarily. When she is in good health, she can buy a better house than Chen Bo.
I don't know if the phone line was unplugged by the woman, Chen Bo never called, and she didn't call.
After being harassed and scolded by her parents again, she unplugged the phone line.
Someone rings the doorbell.
The person who came was Li Tiantian's colleague's eldest sister.
"Tiantian, tomorrow the factory will announce the list of laid-off workers, I heard that we are both on the list. You're younger than me, and you can still get a job as a waiter and salesperson if you're laid off, what can I do?
I've been working in a garment factory for fifteen years, and I don't know how to do anything but sew clothes. My son is still young, my husband's salary is not high, it is difficult for me to find a job at this age, I really don't know what to do in the future......"
A colleague is here to complain.
Li Tian'er couldn't cry or laugh, is her situation more miserable? She was in no mood to comfort a colleague who had come to sympathize.
Just when she was thinking about how to send her colleagues away, the doorbell rang, and Chen Bo came.
"Ah, you have guests, then I won't bother."
Sister Liao's gaze was like a shuttle, instantly weaving Chen Bo from head to toe, and then said goodbye with a meaningful expression.
"Let's go, I'll help you move."
"There's not much either."
Chen Bo's arrival was like a rescue soldier brought by Sun Wukong, which relieved Li Tianer's urgent need.
"I'll get rid of the furniture and appliances for you...... I don't need to bring a futon, I have a new one over there. ”
Chen Bo scanned the room and spoke with authority.
In fact, he didn't say it, and Li Tianer didn't plan to take the electrical furniture away. In her eyes, those are things that should be eliminated, and they have no value.
The BMW stopped in front of the villa, Chen Bo got out of the car and opened the gate, then returned to the car and drove the BMW into the yard and parked at the entrance of the building.
Chen Bo took out two large packages knotted with bed sheets from the trunk of the BMW, opened the door first, entered the house and put it on the ground, reached out to turn on the light, and turned around to take the fat doll in Li Tian'er's hand.
"The room has been cleaned up, I'll take you up. Put the things downstairs first, and I'll bring them up for you later. ”
Finally being able to invite Li Tiantian to live with him at home, Chen Bo seemed very excited. The steps of carrying Kaikai upstairs were very light. He looked back at Li Tian'er's feet from time to time, afraid that she would step on the air when she went up the stairs when she was weak.
When Chen Bo put Kai Kai on the bed, he was as careful as if he was holding a precious porcelain, for fear of waking Kai up.
Kai Kai clicked his small mouth, his long eyelashes flickered twice, and he bent his two little fat legs, and raised his hands above his head as if in surrender, and fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Bo looked at Kai Kai, reached out and touched the stubble of his beard that was connected to his chin, and smiled silently with a mouthful of white teeth.
At that moment, Li Tian'er found that Chen Bo's eyebrows, eyes, and facial features and Kai Kai's seemed to be carved out of the same mold.
Don't......?
Her heart chuckled.
But in Li Tiantian's memory, there was no intimate relationship between Chen Bo and her. Chen Bo was just Li Tiantian's neighbor's eldest brother, and after Li Tiantian was fourteen years old, they rarely even spoke.
"I'll go down and get my luggage, you see if there's anything you're not satisfied with in the room, I'll buy you another one tomorrow."
After Chen Bo finished speaking, he turned around and went downstairs.
Li Tian'er didn't want to guess the woman who answered the phone at Chen Bo's house, but her brain just couldn't help but think and observe.
Chen Bo didn't look like he had just taken a bath, and when he brought it up, there was a slight smell of sweat on his sweaty clothes.
Apparently the woman was lying.
