Book Eight: Messy Days

Don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow has its own worries, and one day's difficulties are enough.

After Liu Mianmian finished washing, she was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep, when she suddenly remembered what Duan Yaxin said at noon, and turned back to the living room, and the appearance of wanting to speak was just seen by Guan Runhao.

"If you have something to say, say it." Guan Runhao set up Erlang's legs and said leisurely.

"That, I went back to the villa at noon today," Liu Mianmian said with difficulty, she always felt that it was not good to talk about other people's privacy behind her back, but Duan Yaxin's words made her six gods and masters, so she had to say: "I just happened to meet Mr. Wu and Aunt Duan quarreling~"

Guan Runhao glanced at her and said sarcastically: "I'm afraid it's a fight!" ”

"Ah, how do you know?" Liu Mianmian opened her mouth wide.

"And it was Wu Hairong who beat Duan Yaxin, and Duan Yaxin is still like no one." Guan Runhao sneered: "What are you fussing about about commonplace?" ”

Liu Mianmian had an expression of admiration when she met a master: "I hesitated in my heart for a day, I don't know how to tell Wu Zhengze, it turns out that you all know." ”

"One is unscrupulous, tyrannical and lustful, the other is cowardly and incompetent, greedy for money and has zero IQ," Guan Runhao said with a disgusted expression: "No need to sympathize!" ”

"Aunt Duan is still quite pitiful." Liu Mianmian muttered in a low voice, today she only saw what it means to be in dire straits.

Guan Runhao glanced at her like an idiot: "You have only been married to the Wu family for a few years, and you can count the days you have been with them on your fingers, so think about how Wu Zhengze has come over for more than 30 years!" ”

Liu Mianmian nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but sympathize with Wu Zhengze in her heart.

Wu Zhengze's bedroom was separated from the living room by a wall, and he just turned over and woke up, ready to go to the living room to drink saliva, as if he heard the two of them mention his parents.

At this moment, there was a dim nightlight glowing yellow at the head of the bed to accompany him.

Wu Zhengze was particularly afraid of the dark, probably when he was five or six years old, when Wu Hairong was just a little-known small boss. Once, when the family was about to go out, they just walked to the car, Duan Yaxin found that he didn't bring his ID card, Wu Hairong angrily reprimanded, and the two quarreled back and forth, and then fought. The little Wu Zhengze saw his mother being bullied, so he raised his fist and hit his father, and Wu Hairong, who was embarrassed and angry, picked up Wu Zhengze, threw him into the trunk of the car, and slammed the door shut.

Duan Yaxin was slapped outside the car until he almost fainted, and when they had enough trouble, they opened the trunk, and the little Wu Zhengze's face was full of tears, his lips were blue, and he was trembling all over.

Another time, someone gave Wu Hairong several fierce purebred Tibetan mastiffs, as big as oxen, locked in an iron-cast cage and roaring wildly, roaring like a lion.

Wu Hairong ordered people to starve them for three days, and then threw a live chicken for them to grab food, fight, and bite, and everyone laughed outside onlookers.

Wu Hairong called Wu Zhengze, who was already in junior high school at the time, and ordered him to hold a live chicken and go over to feed the most ferocious Tibetan mastiff selected.

Wu Hairong said, if you go to feed it, it will recognize you as the owner, and you can have it.

The Tibetan mastiff was full of wildness, black and shiny all around, with a mouth full of hideous white teeth, deep eyes, and an irritable and ferocious jump up and down in the cage.

Wu Zhengze threw away the chicken in fright, crying and not daring to move forward, he didn't want to have this devil at all!

Wu Hairong scolded him for being a waste! Timid as a! Idiots who can't become climate!

However, in Wu Zhengze's memory, Wu Hairong never beat him, but his mother Duan Yaxin was often beaten. Duan Yaxin was often dragged by Wu Hairong and rolled on the ground with her hair, often kicked in the chest and almost suffocated, burned her eyebrows by cigarette butts, and was scolded as a fool**.

But every time after beating and scolding, Duan Yaxin can still calmly put on new clothes, put on makeup, and then go shopping, buy jewelry, go to beauty salons, play cards and drink coffee.

She can't do without Wu Hairong's money, she is greedy for vanity, timid and selfish, and she is very face-saving, and she always holds Wu Hairong's arm to show off when she looks like a bird outside.

So when Wu Zhengze persuaded her to divorce, her eyes widened, thinking that her son was talking nonsense with a fever. She lives so decently, how many women in Lizhou City envy her, covet her throne, what are you going to do, Wu Hairong's biggest advantage is that she never limits her spending, a woman of her age has no youth and beauty, she has no capital to be on par with women outside, she doesn't need anything to ask for warmth and thoughtfulness, she has money to be close to her, money will be considerate of her, she has face and endless glory as a coat, she is still dazzling, why should she divorce?

So even if Wu Hairong has a bunch of mistresses and romantic debts outside, Duan Yaxin just sits in the main palace and turns a deaf ear, and the two of them each find their own fun.

Wu Zheng thought that he has a pair of peculiar parents, a pair of actresses who can win the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, and they are really a good match together.

However, Wu Zhengze does not feel inferior to this, he thinks that the sorrow he has is normalized, didn't Liu Shijun and Li Shumin also sacrifice their so-called baby daughter for 20 million? Where is pure love in this selfish world, it is only a measure of the size of the exchange chips!

Early the next morning, Liu Mianmian was woken up by the ringtone of her mobile phone, closed her eyes and groped to get through, and Duan Yaxin's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mianmian, I'll be in Shangyuan soon, do you remember what I said yesterday? We need to act now! Duan Yaxin said as if shouting slogans.

"Okay, come here!" Liu Mianmian hung up the phone in a daze.

As soon as she hung up for three seconds, Liu Mianmian suddenly thought of something, suddenly opened her eyes, and immediately jumped up, "It's over, it's over!! She didn't care about her slippers, and broke into Wu Zhengze's room barefoot in her pajamas.

Two big men wearing only a pair of boxer briefs were rolling up and down the quilt and staggering to sleep.

Liu Mianmian couldn't take care of it, and stepped forward to pull Guan Runhao and was about to push him out, Guan Runhao was sleepy-eyed and didn't know what to do, and asked, "Little Qiwei, what kind of nerves are you doing?" ”

Wu Zhengze was also woken up, and just saw Liu Mianmian holding Guan Runhao, who was only wearing a pair of underwear, and immediately said angrily: "Liu Mianmian, let me go!" You dare to make up your mind!! ”

Liu Mianmian's tears were about to fall: "Your mother will be here soon!" Your mother! Duan Yaxin!! ”

This time it was the turn of the two men to panic, Wu Zhengze was busy getting dressed, and Guan Runhao opened the wardrobe and was about to hide with his long legs.

Liu Mianmian said hurriedly: "The cabinet is not good!" It's stuffed and can't fit you, hurry, hide under the bed!! ”

Guan Runhao was about to crawl under the bed as if he had lost his IQ, and Wu Zhengze scolded: "Can you put on Lao Tzu's clothes first!! ”

Guan Runhao hurriedly got up again to find clothes.

The phone rang again, and Liu Mianmian hurried to answer it.

"Mianmian, forget it today, I won't go, you little couple have a good weekend, your Aunt Guan just called and said that three are missing one, ask me to play cards!" Duan Yaxin said happily.

Liu Mianmian hung up the phone, slumped on the bed, and couldn't slow down for a while.

Ask who in the world is alive like her? Her father-in-law cheated, her husband came out, her mother-in-law was subjected to domestic violence, and she had to help the male junior escape!!

Liu Mianmian felt that she was really going crazy! What a mess of life these days~~~

Zhao Xiaochan gave birth to a lovely baby girl in winter, Liu Mianmian was overjoyed for the first time, and ran to the hospital with great joy, carefully picking up the pink ball, she couldn't put it down, and she couldn't kiss a few bites.

She took out the long-lived hundred-year-old gold lock and a pair of small gold bracelets that she had prepared a long time ago, put them in the corner of the little guy's bed, and couldn't help but touch her little feet again.

Zhao Xiaochan said with a smile: "Our family is so blessed, and we have a big aunt!" ”

Liu Mianmian said happily: "You are blessed to give birth to such a cute and beautiful baby!" ”

Zhao Xiaochan looked at the baby and smiled with relief: "Then you should also give birth to one quickly?" ”

Liu Mianmian did not tell Wu Zhengze's privacy to others, and Zhao Xiaochan only knew the reason why she suddenly got married.

"Let it be, maybe my baby and I haven't reached the fate yet." Liu Mianmian sighed lightly.

Zhao Xiaochan didn't know how to comfort her for a while. Then he changed the topic and said: "Suri is so bad, I don't know why, since I was pregnant, I was disgusted with whatever he said, and he would make me angry as soon as he opened his mouth." Zhao Xiaochan sighed: "I really don't know how I was blind in the first place!" ”

Liu Mianmian said speechlessly: "I have children, you talk nonsense like this, be careful that the baby hears!" ”

"Speaking of babies, it's even angrier!" Zhao Xiaochan said angrily: "He wasn't surprised at all when he knew that it was a baby girl, saying that he already knew." I asked him why? Did you have a dream or how did you guess it? ”

"How did he guess?" Liu Mianmian couldn't help but ask curiously.

He said," Zhao Xiaochan complained with a bitter face: "He said that there are two reasons, the first is that most of the more hypocritical and troublesome women will give birth to girls in their first child!" The second point is that the father's IQ is higher than that of the mother, and the firstborn is basically a girl! ”

Liu Mianmian laughed when she heard this, and nodded again and again: "Su Rui's analysis is really not wrong, haha!" ”

Su Rui, who was holding a bowl of pork liver noodles, happened to walk in, saw Liu Mianmian laughing, and said with a smile: "Is there anything funny?" ”

"No, no," Liu Mianmian covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm thinking that the little girl has grown up and has a personality IQ closer to the two of you, who is more." ”

In the days that followed, I went to and from work every day, visited my grandmother in my spare time, or went to my mother's flower shop to deal with the Wu family. Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiao Nannan reached out to her to hug her, and her soft and glutinous voice called her: Auntie.

Liu Mianmian's chaotic days have been used to it, but there is no longer a ripple in his heart.

The winter in Lizhou is wet and cold and gloomy, and this Spring Festival holiday is even more foggy, and the humid air contains a fresh and rational atmosphere.

In the alley, a group of children lit small fireworks that "hissed" and waved them in the air, drawing fleeting streamers.

Wu Hairong and his wife choose to go abroad for vacation during the Spring Festival every year, and Wu Zhengze and Guan Runhao are nowhere to be found. Liu Mianmian chose or could only go back to her grandmother.

As soon as she sat down, grandma put a bowl of yellow bone fish in sour soup in front of Liu Mianmian, and after serving rice, she feasted on it. Grandma sat on the side and looked at her and smiled: "Eat slowly, I still have American ginseng pigeon soup stewed in the pot!" The girl's family should drink more soup to replenish qi and blood. ”

"Grandma, why don't you eat it?" Liu Mianmian pushed the bowl forward: "It's delicious, your old skills are even better than the chef of a five-star hotel." ”

Grandma smiled: "You little mouth is sweet, you won't suffer since you were a child, people often say a good word to eat, it's about you, this girl!" After saying that, he touched her head dotingly.

Liu Mianmian picked up the soup spoon and scooped up a bowl of sour soup by herself, and drank it in a big gulp. Grandma's pickled sauerkraut is first-class, and the sour soup stewed over low heat is fragrant and mellow, spicy but not strong, fresh but not fishy.

"Your father came back in the morning, I wrapped some shrimp wontons for him, and left in a hurry after eating. Grandma looked at Liu Mianmian dotingly, but at the end she couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Zhengzheng come?" ”

"He's busy, and the holidays are the busiest time in the service industry, and he takes care of two branches, and he's so busy that he really can't get out of the way." Liu Mianmian's ability to make up lies is getting deeper and deeper.

"Hey, a family, big and small, is not worry-free, and none of them have a normal life." Grandma sighed: "Your father told me that Zhengzheng was the boyfriend you talked about in college, why didn't I look like it, at that time, your eyes lit up all day long, and you were crazy for a while, and then you hid in the room and didn't come out." Now, I look at you and Zhengzheng, it's like what your grandfather used to say, 'raise your eyebrows and respect each other'. ”

Liu Mianmian smacked her tongue and said with a weak heart: "This is a compliment, grandma!" ”

Grandma glanced at her and said: "Don't bully my wife and son for being uneducated, I have the experience of these two people living behind closed doors, not to mention the firewood, rice, oil, salt, chickens, flying dogs, and jumping in the days, at least they are occasionally bickering, occasionally disgusted and concerned, and there must be that person in their hearts and eyes, so that they can live." "It's like you," thought Grandma, "like a random guy was brought in to coax me in the middle of the road." ”

Liu Mianmian listened, and there was inevitably a desolation in her heart. How could she not understand the kind of day that her grandmother was talking about? She was like this when she was with Ziqi, she didn't love enough, and she was annoyed and angry. It's just that she is blessed, and good days always don't last long.

The next day, she came to her mother's flower shop, which is the busiest during the Spring Festival, and her mother usually stays here.

Pushing open the glass door with wind chimes, a fluffy and cute little golden retriever like a ball greeted him. Liu Mianmian happily bent down to pick it up, the puppy's cold and wet nose touched her cheek, and she tried to wagging her tail to welcome her.

"This was brought back by Sister Shumin last month, saying that a friend's golden retriever gave birth to three, and if she couldn't raise it, she gave her one." Zhao Lin walked over and looked at her and smiled.

Zhao Lin is Chinese New Year's Eve and is a flower shop clerk who has been running the flower shop with Li Shumin for many years.

"It's so cute!" Liu Mianmian stroked the puppy's fluffy hair and asked, "Sister Lin, where is my mother?" ”

"Sister Shumin went to the hospital," Zhao Lin looked at Liu Mianmian in embarrassment and said: "Her left ** has been hurting badly, the doctor diagnosed it as breast cancer a few months ago, and suggested that she be hospitalized immediately, but she still won't let me tell you." ”

"Breast Cancer?!! Was it okay for me to call her the day before yesterday? Liu Mianmian was shocked, and hurriedly put down the puppy and said anxiously: "Which hospital did you go to?" ”

"Lizhou Third Hospital, Sister Shumin has never believed in Western medicine, you go and persuade it, don't delay if you can do surgery." Zhao Lin also said anxiously.

Liu Mianmian quickly stopped a taxi and rushed to the Third Hospital.

On the way, she called her mother more than a dozen times in a row, but she didn't answer, she was scared and worried, and when she arrived at the hospital, she found that her palms and foreheads were full of sweat.

She ran to the outpatient hall in a panic and searched for the surgeon, but did not see her mother's shadow, and immediately went down the stairs to prepare to go to the ward to find it, and when she waited for the elevator, she saw a familiar figure coming over.

Guan Runhao was wearing a white coat, speaking to several interns next to him while walking, and some of them took out notebooks to record.

I have known Guan Runhao for so long, but I have never asked him what he does, it turns out that he is a doctor.

Doctor Guan looked up and saw Liu Mianmian, but found that her face was pale, so he turned his head and gave a few words of advice to a few interns next to him, walked over alone, and greeted her with a smile: "Little strange, why are you here?" ”

Liu Mianmian said urgently: "My mother may be hospitalized, I don't know which department and ward she is in, maybe she is not in the hospital, and the phone can't get through!" ”

Guan Runhao inquired about her mother's specific situation and took her directly to the office of the deputy chief physician of breast surgery, where a male doctor in his forties, wearing glasses and a little fat, was sitting in front of the computer. Guan Runhao said: "Director Qi, is there a patient named Li Shumin who has come to see or arranged to be hospitalized in the past two days?" ”

If it were other people, Director Qi might have to check it, Li Shumin was too impressed, and she refused treatment. Director Qi said: "Bed 07 in the second ward of the breast department is already in the advanced stage, and I don't see the patient's family coming, Director Guan, do you know Li Shumin?" ”

Liu Mianmian almost fell to the ground when she heard this, and ran to the ward with her legs limp!
