Following.

Qiao Le slept until he woke up naturally, the position around him was already empty, he touched it, and it was still a little warm, he should have just left for a long time, he got up and washed up and went downstairs, and when he saw that everyone was there, he felt a full sense of happiness in his heart.

"Mom, I'll hold you." Rui Bao ran over and took her hand downstairs, and her cautious appearance made people want to laugh.

"I'm not that delicate!"

"No, I promised you to protect you." Ruibao seems to be a little adult, and others have not hindered him, it is good that children are willing to be close to their mothers, and they have been missing for so long, it is good to have more company.

Mu Qing prepared breakfast for her, milk, eggs and others were in front of her, and it looked more hearty than theirs.

"Specially prepared for you, make up for it."

"Thank you."

"Is there anything scheduled for today? Do I need to go to the hospital for a check-up? There is also a regular check-up or something, and you have to make an appointment with a doctor, right? Liao Xinyue took out her notebook and began to take notes.

"No, I just went there yesterday, and Dr. Tang also took care of it, he will notify in advance about the prenatal examination, and the doctor has also made an appointment."

"That's good."

"Also, I might have to go to the mall today, and ...... I'm going to go to the gym to hand things over, and it's almost half a day. After Qiao Le drank the milk, he felt that his stomach was a little swollen, and he couldn't eat the other food in front of him.

"Do you need me to stay with you?"

"Okay, I want to buy something for Ruibao and the child, prepare it in advance, Mom, you have a good eye to accompany me to have a look."

"Okay."

Mu Qing didn't listen to them say this, only chopped the food in front of Qiao Le and put it in her bowl, seeing that she didn't have much appetite, and asked, "Can't eat it?" Or is there something uncomfortable? ”

"I don't really want to eat it, you can leave it alone."

"What if you're hungry?" Mu Qing was not at ease, so he called the housekeeper and prepared some healthy snacks and put them in a bag for her to hold, "If you are hungry, eat some, otherwise your meal is too small." ”

Qiao Le nodded in acceptance, and somehow, she didn't have any appetite at all, but she didn't feel like vomiting, probably because of the reaction in the early stages of pregnancy, right?

On the way to the gym, Qiao Le told her about that feeling, and Liao Xinyue only reassured her that everyone's reaction to pregnancy is different, which is normal, just wait for three months to pass, and it will be better.

Before she arrived at the store, Mu Qing's phone came over, asking her if she was hungry and if she was uncomfortable, Qiao Le smiled, how long had it been since he came out, and said that he hung up the phone in a wordy manner.

In fact, there is nothing particularly important about the gym, An Tong takes care of it very well, and with Ruan Ruan's help, it doesn't matter if she is not there, the main thing is that she wants to come and see, and she may not be able to come for a few months in the future.

An Tong saw her and Liao Xinyue coming over together, thinking that something had happened, but when she asked, she found out that Qiao Le had a baby.

"Oh, congratulations! Become a mother. ”

"Thank you, you and Xu Wenrui should hurry up when they are! Whether you have a son or a daughter, I've booked it! ”

An Tong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered a joke they had before, saying: In the future, when the two of them get married and have children, they must get married, but I didn't expect Qiao Le to remember it now.

"I know, but I don't know if Mu Qing will agree to it."

"He dares to disagree!"

"Know he's good to you! You can rest assured, everything in the store has me, no matter how bad it is, there is Ruan Ruan, you can take good care of your body, you know? ”

"Yes, mother-in-law."

The two laughed and didn't look like wives at all, and in their eyes, they still didn't change from each other as they did when they were in school.

Coming out of the gym, Qiao Le and Liao Xinyue went to the mall to pick out clothes, first bought them for Ruibao, Qiao Le had no experience in buying clothes, and he didn't take the child with him, and he didn't know what size to choose, but fortunately Liao Xinyue knew that she had been with Ruibao for the longest time, and everything was clear.

In addition, I bought some for unborn children, and I chose some of them without knowing whether they were male or female.

Soon the two of them had their hands full of things and were ready to put them back in the car.

"Qiao Le, Auntie, I'll help you get it."

With a light hand, Qiao Le looked back and saw Cheng Yu, very surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

"What? I'm just allowed to come to the mall, and I can't? ”

Sure enough, regardless of the occasion and place, it was still the same annoying, Qiao Le smiled helplessly, "Yes, you can come, after all, the mall is not opened by my family." ”

Cheng Yu smiled and didn't speak, Liao Xinyue saw that they had a good relationship, and felt that Cheng Yu seemed to have something to say to Qiao Le, so she consciously went to the other side.

When the things were put back in the car, there was a coffee shop on the first floor, and Cheng Yu said, "Go sit for a while?" You're tired from all morning shopping, aren't you? ”

"How do you know I've been shopping all morning? Track me? ”

Qiao Le sat down and asked for a cup of honey water, while Cheng Yu ordered a cup of coffee, and when she heard her words, her eyes fell on her ankles, slightly swollen, "You don't need me to follow you, you can just look at your feet." ”

She found out that her calves were already a little swollen, and she felt strange in her heart, such a reaction should be like this after five months, when the body is burdened?

"Looks like you know everything? Should you congratulate me? Qiao Le looked as usual, and said in a somewhat naughty tone.

"Yes, congratulations on becoming a mother, is it because of the child that you suddenly came back?" Cheng Yu had a hint of injustice in her heart.

"There are part of the reasons, and there are others." Qiao Le suddenly remembered something, and took down the snuffbox hanging around his neck, "This is what I snatched at the beginning, and now I'll give it back to you." ”

The snuffbox is still the same as it was, and the kitten inside is still scratching at Cheng Yan with its teeth open, and that kind of look is very similar to the appearance of Qiao Le he met at the beginning.

"This was originally given to you, so you don't have to give it back to me."

"For me? Not quite right? And even if it's a gift, shouldn't you give a gentle kitten? How can I be so fierce? Qiao Le pinched the snuffbox in his hand and looked at it, thinking of when he was in Mu Qing's office at that time, he also said that he was a cat.

"That's what you are, take it."

I'm afraid I won't see her again in the future, so it's better to leave a gift for her, which can be regarded as a thought in the future.

Qiao Le was not polite, rummaged through her bag again, and found a bow tie, which she had just bought in the mall, and the bow tie was selected for Mu Qing, there were several, and she chose one that was more suitable for Cheng Yan and handed it to him.

"In return, you can't accept your gift for nothing."

"Bought it for me?"

"You think too much, I bought it for Aqing, and I reluctantly gave you one, I feel very distressed."

Sure enough, this was not specially selected for him, but Cheng Yan still accepted it.

"It's not deliberate, but it's for you."

"Thank you."

There was a sudden silence between the two, Qiao Le lowered his head and took a sip of honey water, the mild water and the sweet taste slipped into his throat and slowly seeped into his body, she glanced at Cheng Yan, he was very good at concealing it, but ...... I can still see it.

Cheng Yan didn't show it, but Qiao Le still found out, from the time she lived in his house, she felt that Cheng Yan was different from her, and when he went to his grandmother's house to deliver things later, the words he said, the sincerity in his eyes was true, he said it was a joke and it was true, she pretended not to know It was also true, perhaps, they were not willing to break that layer of paper, it was far better to be friends than to say it.

Qiao Le glanced at his watch, it was almost noon, and got up, "I have to go back to eat, so I'll leave first." ”

"Okay."

Cheng Yan sent her out, and didn't follow, because she knew that behind that door, there would be another person supporting her, and through the glass window, she saw Mu Qing, when the two saw each other, the moment their eyes touched, all the affection didn't need to be expressed in their eyes, Cheng Yan grabbed the bow tie she gave in his palm, and rubbed it gently, he should leave.

When he walked out of the coffee shop again, Qiao Le and Mu Qing had already left, at this time the noon sun was warm, looking up at the sky, he couldn't open his eyes from the light of the sun, and muttered softly: "You can rest assured, she is doing well." ”

On the way home.

Mu Qing kept holding her hand, Qiao Le couldn't stand him sticking to himself so much, and said, "I'm coming out with my mother, what are you worried about?" Don't work well in the company. ”

"I won't feel at ease if I can't see you for a while, the company's affairs have Yuan Jing, until you are stable, I will stay by your side every day."

Is he afraid that he will run away again? Qiao Le thought to herself, but she was happier to have him.

For three months, Qiao Le has been recuperating at home, Mu Qing has followed her inch by inch, and the company's affairs are brought to the home to deal with, and what is important is a video call, in short, you want to see Qiao Le anytime and anywhere.

After three months, Qiao Le's pregnancy reaction came out, she couldn't eat anything, she vomited at every turn, and after a week, the whole person was emaciated, but it was really a bad family.

"Vomit ......" Qiao Le looked at Mu Qing who was dangling in front of him, and retched again.

"Are you alright? Would you like to drink some water? The crowd asked worriedly.

Qiao Le shook her head and lay down on the sofa, seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, but she was vomiting so much now that she couldn't sit well all afternoon.

"You all go and get busy, I'll just lie down for a while."

Qiao Le's face was pale, lying on the sofa and feeling weak, how could Mu Qing just leave her down and say, "I'll accompany you." ”

"What's the use of being with me? By the way, aren't you going to pick up Dad and Fei Fei to come to the house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner? Have they arrived? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Zhenhua and Qiao Feifei came in, followed by Ruibao, who came to Qiao Le for the first time, and saw her face pale, frowning sadly, "Mom, is the sister in the belly disobedient again?" ”

"yes, she wants to see her brother sooner." Qiao Le touched his head and said that when he had a prenatal checkup a few days ago, Tang Haotian had quietly told them that it was a girl.

Rui Bao snorted and said, "This sister is not obedient at all! It's so naughty that it makes mom uncomfortable. ”

"I can't talk about my sister, it's me who can't eat by myself."

Qiao Le's heart is still very happy, Ruibao is fighting for her, but the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and she is also helpless.

"Sister, it's hard for you to lie here, right? I'll help you up and move. Qiao Feifei watched for a long time, and finally had the opportunity to come over, held her waist and asked her to sit up, and whispered in her ear, "Two days ago, I went to see my grandmother, and she has good things there for you to eat." ”

"What?" Qiao Le was also curious, saw her eyes, understood, and said to the people around him, "Don't be here with me, just have Fei Fei with me, why should you go, Ruibao, take your father to the side." ”

Now she is the biggest in the family, and everyone listens to her words and leaves one after another.

The two sisters were left in the living room, and Qiao Feifei took out a box from her bag and opened it, with a faint spicy smell wafting from it.

"What is this?"

"You can taste it, it's made by my grandmother."

Qiao Le took a small piece from it and put it in his mouth to chew, the faint sweetness was mixed with spicy, and it was unusually sweet in his mouth, but he didn't feel like vomiting.

"It's delicious."

"Grandma said that it is estimated that your pregnancy is as uncomfortable as your mother, and she did this at the beginning, so it is much better."

It turned out that this was the case, Qiao Le ate two pieces, felt much better about vomiting, and ate two more pieces of snacks, and his body had some strength.

Seeing Qiao Feifei looking at her enviously, knowing that she was envious of her pregnancy, she grabbed her hand and put it on her lower abdomen, "Feifei, this is not only my child, but also yours, in the future, they will call you an aunt, I will let them honor you well, you are like another mother of theirs." ”

"Really?" Qiao Feifei was a little excited, although so much time had passed, she still had regrets in her heart, regretting that she would not have any more children of her own in this life......

"Of course, we are sisters, this is not a fact, if you have children, I will also treat them as my own children, and my children are also yours."

Qiao Feifei's hand gently stroked her lower abdomen, which was about to be a little life...... And her children, too.

For the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Qiao Le rarely ate a little more, although he still vomited some later, but it was much better than usual.

Mu Qing couldn't rest assured of her, he had moved into her room again two months ago, and as long as she had the slightest movement, he would wake up.

Qiao Le has been sleeping very badly since she was pregnant with this child, often waking up in the middle of the night, with uncomfortable back pain, and went to the hospital for examination, probably because she did not rest well when she was pregnant with the first child, so that she is always uncomfortable when she is pregnant now.

Probably ate a little more at night, and slept exceptionally well at night.

After Mu Qing watched her fall asleep, he quietly got up and walked outside to make a call, "Haotian, Lele is much better now, but ...... I'm always worried, she's always throwing up now, can it go well during the birth? ”

"I guess there should be no problem, let's check it out later."

Mu Qing answered, hung up the phone, because he was a little irritable, he habitually went into his pocket to take out a cigarette, only to find that he hadn't smoked for a long time.

There was an extra coat on his shoulder, and when he looked back, Qiao Le got up at some point and held her in his arms, "Why did you wake up?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

"No, I can't sleep well when you're not around." Qiao Le saw his brows furrowed together, and gently smoothed it, "Don't frown, didn't you find that Ruibao has learned everything at a young age?" You brought it,"

"If you say yes, I won't frown in the future."

"Are you worried about my body?"

"This kid always tosses you, you see that you are thin, I feel distressed."

How could Qiao Le not know what he was thinking, pinched his face, and stopped him, "I tell you, you are not allowed to have other bad thoughts, this child is mine, no matter how she tosses me, I will not give up, just like back then, I will not give up any child I have." ”

She has lost Ruibao's growth, and if she can't protect this child anymore, she will really leave regrets.

"Okay, you're the greatest mother, it's cold outside, come inside."

Lying down again, Qiao Le shrank into his arms, Mu Qing's hand gently patted her back, and she fell asleep after a while.

In the next few months, Qiao Le's vomiting symptoms improved a lot, and she became more and more able to eat, and she had to eat a big bowl of food, which made her a little unbearable.

Liao Xinyue and several people said that it was a blessing to be able to eat, but she clearly saw that her figure was gaining weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she forgot it for the sake of her children.

In August of the following year, Qiao Le was admitted to the hospital to prepare for delivery, and all the nurses and doctors were authoritative and experienced.

On the evening of the end of August, Qiao Le was pushed into the operating room, and Mu Qing followed in, and about two hours later, the baby's cry came from the delivery room.

It was a beautiful girl, Qiao Le insisted on a smooth delivery, and at this time she woke up lying on the bed, looked at the child next to her, and smiled happily.

After being in the hospital for about half a month, Qiao Le was clamoring to go home, her body was fine, Mu Qing was blind and nervous, so she had to stay in the hospital for observation.

The child looks like Qiao Le, and between his eyebrows and eyes he is a little similar to Mu Qing, Ruibao has to look at it many times a day, and every time he sees the child, he has to emphasize that he is an elder brother.

The girl's name finally fulfilled Mu Qing's wish, called Mu Siqing, Liao Xinyue prepared a lot of beautiful names, all of which were refuted, and Mu Qing said angrily: "My daughter!" I named it, of course! ”

Watching the child grow up day by day, Qiao Le also returned to the right track, busy with work, just ...... I didn't see Cheng Yan anymore, and there was no news of Jiang Xichen, as if he had suddenly disappeared.

During Mu Siqing's 100-day banquet, Qiao Le sent an invitation to the past, but only received a gift of a longevity lock, and there was no news again.

She didn't ask, she just saw the gift and understood, maybe she wouldn't see them again in this life.

That night, she had a dream, dreaming that Jiang Xichen, he was saying goodbye to herself, he was covered in black, and his face was full of injuries, but he didn't say why, and then it was Cheng Yan's smiling face, and he waved his hand to her.

Some people are suitable for a lifetime of memories, and some people need a lifetime of companionship.

When Mu Siqing was five years old, because he was pampered, he was also very naughty, he dismantled toys at every turn, and always grabbed Ruibao's things to play.

Ruibao is ten years old, and as an older brother, he always lets her not care about her.

But Qiao Le was unhappy, and called Mu Siqing to the side to reprimand her, "Apologize to Ruibao." ”

"I don't."

This little temper is really the same as Mu Qing, Qiao Le had no choice, so he beat her up angrily, and sued Mu Qing that night, saying that her mother beat her.

After asking the reason, Mu Qing coaxed his daughter and went to coax Qiao Le, "It is said that your daughter is spoiled, why do you spoil your son?" ”

"Who told her to always grab Ruibao's stuff? Be obedient for a beating. Besides, she didn't hit her, but just reprimanded her a few words and slapped her ass twice, "It's all your fault, she spoiled her!" ”

Mu Qing smiled, he knew that Qiao Le was good to Ruibao to make up for what he had lacked, and he knew all his intentions.

"Yes, I spoiled her, and now I'm going to spoil you too."

After a while, the room was filled with indescribable sounds......

……

Extra.

On the day of Su Ke's 80th birthday banquet, her children, children and grandchildren all arrived, and a large family gathered around her to say blessings, and Mu Nanyi held her hand and accompanied her.

was originally happy, but that night, she fell ill.

Tang Haotian and the family doctor examined her, and Mu Nanyi asked nervously: "Coco, what's wrong with her?" ”

Both of them shook their heads and said nothing, and this answer said it all.

After a long time, Su Ke opened his eyes and woke up, looked at Mu Nanyi, who was also old in front of her, and smiled, "Mummy, I had a dream just now." ”

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that I was back in my twenties, the first time I met you, you always bullied me, so domineering, I really wanted to beat you when I thought about it!" As soon as Su Ke finished saying this, there was a cough, and Mu Nanyi hurriedly patted her on the back.

"Didn't you bully me all my life? It's a tie for the two of us. ”

Su Ke smiled, gray hair, an old face full of wrinkles, and sighed in his heart, people, after all, there will be a day when they will grow old.

"Mummy, I've been wondering, if the person who married in the first place was not me, but someone else, would we miss it?" Her eyes were full of tears, and her eyes were full of love when she looked at Mu Nanyi.

"No, no, even if the person who married me is not you, I will find you, and being with you is my greatest wish in this life."

"It's your sweet mouth!"

"Didn't you know all along?"

After Su Ke said these words, it was already very difficult to breathe, and the hand holding Mu Nanyi tightened a little, he suddenly became nervous and leaned over, "Keke, if you hold on, you will definitely be fine, let's go to the hospital." ”

"No...... I don't want to go to the hospital. Su Ke said weakly, she had a shadow of the hospital, she had been there many times when she was young, and she never wanted to go in again, "Mummy, can you hug me?" ”

"Okay, I'll hold you, don't be afraid, I'm always by your side." Mu Nanyi leaned over and held her in his arms.

Mu Chenyi, Mu Qing and the others couldn't help but redden their eyes when they saw the two old men hugging tightly, Mu Chenxi was already crying silently, and kept calling Su Ke, but at this time, Su Ke was only Mu Nanyi alone in his eyes.

Su Ke's eyes gradually became blurry, but she didn't want to close her eyes so quickly, she still had a lot to do with Mu Nanyi, and she hadn't had time to do it yet.

By the end of her eightieth birthday, she was already very content.

"Mummy, the world says that good people don't live long, bad people live for a thousand years, you see, I have done so many bad things before, and I didn't live to be a hundred years old after all...... Are you lying to all of that? Or are you worse and can live for a long time, you promise me...... You have to live well, okay? Su Ke's words were intermittent, and the others couldn't hear them clearly, but when they saw Mu Nanyi's expression, they guessed that they must be making a final goodbye.

"No, I don't, what's the point of me when you're gone? Didn't you promise me that you would grow old with me? You liar! ”

Su Ke smiled, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, she raised her hand and wanted to touch his face one last time, but she had no strength, Mu Nanyi knew what she was going to do, and grabbed her hand and put it on her cheek.

"You've lied to me so many times, won't you let me lie to you once? I said before, even if you are old, you are still a handsome old man, I want to retract that sentence, you are not handsome at all when you are old! Su Ke coughed again, panting heavily, "The white-headed old man ...... I'm already with you, I'm so tired...... I can't walk anymore...... Mummy, I promise you...... I won't drink Meng Po soup when I get there, and I'll wait for you...... In this life, you are good to me, and in the next life...... Wait for me in the next life, let me ...... Good for you...... Good no good? ”

"Okay, you can say anything."

The two leaned together, Su Ke's hand slowly slipped down and hung down at his side, they knew that she was gone.

"Mom!"

"Grandma!"

There was only one shout and one cry left in the room, Mu Nanyi hugged Su Ke and did not let go, and everyone left one after another, leaving time for them.

"Coco......" After a long time, Mu Nanyi muttered softly.

Early the next morning, Mu Chenyi entered the door and prepared to let Su Ke tidy up into the coffin, and he was startled the moment he entered.

Mu Nanyi still maintained the posture of holding Su Ke, and his body was already stiff.

"Dad, Mom......"

Mu Nanyi and Su Ke both had smiles on their faces, and when they got there, they were still reluctant to separate.

Coco, how can I rest assured that you will be left alone? The road ahead is too thorny, and I want to shelter you from the wind and rain......

In this life, in the next life, in the next life...... We all have to walk hand in hand.
