"Uncle, I think you're wrong. Xiao Yu is my child, and I never thought of taking advantage of the An family. I can give up Ziyu, but please don't take Xiaoyu away. Menghan stood up bravely from behind Ziyu and hugged Xiaoyu tightly, "If nothing else, I think it's time for me to take the child home." ”

As soon as Menghan's words fell, another person came in from outside the ward. The person who came was none other than An's frequent visitor, the uncle of the Ziyu brothers and sisters - Wu Junxiu.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Ziyu shouted.

"I went to Shihe Village to chat with Zu Rong today, Zu Rong explained everything to me, I was worried in my heart, so I came with him, I just bought a pack of cigarettes at the entrance of the hospital, so I was a step late." Junxiu responded, "Ziyu, have you thought about marrying the girl in front of you?" ”

"Uncle, you have always cared about and supported me, are you also here to prevent my marriage with Menghan from failing?" Ziyu turned to Junxiu, he was anxious to find an ally among the elders, but looking at this posture, it was obvious that there was little hope.

The room resounded with the suppressed cry of a bee "buzzing", Zi Yu followed the voice, and he saw his son Xiao Yu, who was lying in his mother's arms wiping the corners of his eyes, and looked timidly at the arguing crowd in this ward.

Oh God, they scared him, they scared his most beloved son.

On this occasion where they should not be noisy, they fought over each other, and it was clear that the rude actions of the adults had frightened the children.

No, he had to stop the argument at once, he wanted to put an end to this pointless argument at once.

"Dad, about the custody of Xiaoyu, let's wait until we go home and discuss it slowly. Besides, the child has just completed the discharge procedures, and everyone is noisy here, which is not good for the child's body! Ziyu held An Zurong's hand and shook it again and again, "Dad, look, Xiao Yu is crying, aren't you distressed?" Let's put this aside for now! ”

"Our Xiao Yu is a man, and he will have to experience strong winds and waves in the future, so he won't cry for this little thing!" An Zurong stepped forward, leaned over and brushed Xiao Yu's face, trying in vain to comfort his grandson, but the child was even more timid, avoiding his outstretched hand, and shrunk his small body into Menghan's arms tighter.

Father An can't take care of this: "Ziyu, if you don't take Xiao Yu away today, I'm afraid it will be too late in the future." ”

"That's enough, Dad." Ziyu raised his voice, "Me and Menghan and the child are inseparable from a family of three, the three of us, no matter which one is missing, it is no longer a complete small family." Dad, you forgot, how Zixuan and I grew up. ”

The room became surprisingly silent,

Father An unnaturally stretched out his hand into his jacket pocket, finally took out a cigarette case, opened it, tore one from the stack of cigarette papers, rubbed a small handful of tobacco, rolled a cigarette, lit it, and inhaled it to the side of his mouth, spit out a smoke ring.

He forgot that it was a hospital room and that his grandson had just been discharged; He forgot that the child had just recovered from his illness and might not be able to smell the pungent smell of smoke...... Yes, he may have really forgotten, for his thoughts flew away with the misty smoke in the air, and sank into the boundless past.

After a long time, he heard his son say in his ear: "Dad, have you ever thought about how difficult it is for my mother to leave us early in the morning, and Zixuan and I have traveled all the way from childhood to adulthood. ”

"Then can you understand Dad's difficulty? It's not easy for you, but it's easy for me? I've been both a father and a mother in my life to pull you brothers and sisters to adulthood, is it easy for me? You don't listen to your father now, isn't that angry with me? Father An sighed, and wanted to continue to put the cigarette in his mouth, and caught a glimpse of Xiao Yu on the side, it was the child's timid gaze that touched his soul! He immediately extinguished the cigarette butt, hugged his head, and squatted down.

He heard Ziyu continue to say in his ear:

"Yes, I can understand your hardships, Dad. However, have you ever thought that the father can never replace the mother's position in the child's heart, the mother left us early in the morning, Zixuan and I grew up in a family without maternal love, grew up in such an incomplete family, Dad, even if you give us all the love, it still can't replace the mother's position in our hearts. This is a great regret in our hearts, especially in the process of getting along with classmates and friends over the years when we have grown up. ”

Ziyu paused for a moment and continued, "Right now, if we take Xiao Yu away, won't my son also have to be separated from his mother?" Xiao Yu is not by Menghan's side, can you be sure that he will be happy? If you love your child, you have to give him the best, I believe that at this moment, in Xiaoyu's heart, a complete home is the best environment for him to grow up. Could it be that you can't bear to let Xiao Yu lose her mother's love like Zixuan and I did when we were children? No, Dad, I'm sure you're not that kind of person. Heart to heart, I believe, you will not make an out-of-the-ordinary move, Dad, what do you say? ”

"Yes, Zu Rong, in my opinion, what Ziyu said makes sense, and I also think it is inappropriate to separate their mother and son." Wu Junxiu next to him immediately continued, "I see, the children's affairs, let them make their own decisions, the woman Ziyu has taken a fancy to, this has been waiting for six years, if you stop it again, now for the New Year, Ziyu will be thirty." Zu Rong, can you bear to let Ziyu fight a bachelor for the rest of his life? This kid is dead-eyed! ”

Junxiu said, and gave Ziyu a look.

Ziyu understood: "Dad, if you don't agree to me marrying Menghan, I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life." I can't find a stepmother for Xiao Yu! When we were young, and my mother passed away at a young age, can't you bear to find us a stepmother? You have always told people that a stepmother is a wolf, and finding a stepmother is equivalent to luring a wolf into the house for the child, Dad, do you want me to find a wolf-like stepmother for Xiaoyu? That way, Xiao Yu will be hurt. ”

There was silence in the room.

After a long time, An Zurong stood up from the position where he was squatting, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and said loudly: "I was persuaded by you, okay!" Ziyu, tell me when you plan to get married. ”

"It's still the same old saying, before the New Year." Ziyu replied, "Menghan, what do you say? ”

"You can do it!" Menghan said in a low voice, she still glanced at Zu Rong with a little uneasiness. Seeing that the other party was no longer scorching, he let go of Xiao Yu with confidence.

An Zurong stood up from the ground and said loudly to Junxiu: "Uncle child, don't you want to go to the theater?" If you don't leave, I'm afraid that the afternoon drama in Shihe Village will be over. ”

"If you go, we made an appointment early in the morning, how can we not go? There are several actors in the troupe today, and they are still my apprentices! I'm afraid it's not okay if I'm a master! Junxiu hurriedly replied.

"Why don't you go quickly?" An Zurong said loudly,

He took Junxiu's hand.

As soon as the words fell, the two old men had already flown out and quickly disappeared at the end of the hospital corridor.

An Ziyu looked at their backs and shook his head undeniably. After a moment, she turned to Menghan: "So, where are we going now?" Menghan, I mean, don't you want to go to my house for two days? ”

"Go, go, go." Menghan hurriedly responded, "When I go back and clean up, I can leave for your house tomorrow." ”

"Isn't that going to change your tune? Isn't my home your home? Ziyu said with a smile.

"you!" Menghan sighed softly.

"Oh, I'm going to Daddy's house, I'm going to Daddy's house." This is Xiao Yu cheering, he is pulling the corner of Ziyu's clothes, "Dad, will you never go far, far away in the future?" ”

"Going far away?" Ziyu was puzzled.

"When I was very young, Xiao Yu asked me where my father had gone, and I told him that my father had gone far away." Menghan replied, "Fortunately, there are many left-behind children in the school, that is, the children in Xiaoyu's class, and most of their parents go to other places and foreign countries, so Xiaoyu also believes it." ”

"That's it!" Ziyu looked at his son lovingly, and took him in his arms, "Don't worry, Dad will never go far away again, in the future, Dad will accompany you to and from school every day!" ”

"Really!" Xiao Yu jumped up happily.

"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase. If you don't believe it, we will give us a high-five. Ziyu said.

The boy literally raised his right palm and put his fingers together. Seeing this, Ziyu also raised his palm, and a crisp applause sounded in the ward, and at the same time, there was also the laughter of the family.
