Chapter 44: A Family
Since Momo arrived at Wang Mengliang's house, she has not been quiet for a moment, sometimes sitting on the sofa playing with puppets, and sometimes scribbling on the wall of the room. At first, Wang Mengliang would stop her, lead her to the living room, find her paper and pen, and let her draw on the coffee table. After many times, he also got tired and leaned back on the sofa exhausted. Momo was lying on the coffee table alone and scribbling.
Shen Yin came out of the bathroom, saw this scene, and secretly smiled, "Why can't you stand it after so long?" ”
"You don't know how much this little guy is!" He said helplessly: "I don't have a little temper with her anymore." ”
Shen Yin didn't forget to count him down and said, "See if you agree so easily in the future?" ”
He put his arm around her waist and leaned on her shoulder, "You don't want to go, okay?" Stay and take care of this 'little naughty' with me! ”
Seeing his helpless appearance now, she nodded and said, "Okay, for the sake of you taking the initiative to admit your mistakes, I will forgive you." ”
Wang Mengliang was full of vitality again, "Let's go to the supermarket together in a while, I'm going to bring the 'little naughty'." ”
Coming out of the supermarket, Wang Mengliang bought Momo an electric plush teddy bear, Momo liked it very much and kept it in his arms.
"Do you think we look like a family?" He whispered in Shen Yin's ear, and he held Momo in his arms.
Shen Yin looked at Momo, as if she saw Xue Yufan, and felt a little sad in her heart, she put her hand in her pocket and found the letter.
"Don't be too sad, he doesn't want to see you like this." He stroked her hair and whispered.
After dinner, Wang Mengliang accompanied Momo to watch cartoons in the living room, she returned to the room, sat on the bed and opened the envelope. The letter reads as follows:
Shen Yin:
This is the last time I will write to you, and it will be my last. To be able to meet you is the greatest joy of my life, fourteen years of time are fleeting, I can only be reluctant to give up on you. Ever since I met you, there has been light in my life, and you have dispelled all the darkness for me. Although I can't join hands with you and know each other, I know enough to see that you are still happy and happy now.
I have thought deeply about what you said before, I am indeed full of resentment towards my parents, but my feelings for you are real, I have liked you since junior high school, and I have never changed my mind until now. Once in such a difficult day, as long as I think of your appearance, I am full of strength, and I will persevere in any difficulties. Remember when I confessed to you? Do you know that I was preparing for half a month, but I didn't expect you to refuse with a word, and I didn't feel disappointed at that time, but liked you more. Since then, I've been secretly following you, have you ever been bored with me at that time? I often create some opportunities to meet you, I don't know if you are aware of it? When I knew that you wouldn't like me, I didn't feel sad, as long as I could meet you and see your appearance, I was very content. The time when you tutored me was the most beautiful and will always be cherished by me. On the day I dropped out of school, I was supposed to hand over the letter to you in person, and then confess to you again, hoping that you could wait for me to come back, but I had something to do temporarily and did not hand over this letter to you personally, maybe this is the fate between us!
Three years ago, I was diagnosed with stomach cancer, which was at an advanced stage, and the doctor said that I still had half a year to live. Perhaps God had mercy on me and let me enjoy some more time. I thought I could only leave with regrets, but I didn't expect fate to meet us again. In fact, in 2017, I went to look for you, went to your house, saw my grandmother and Shen Yuehuan, and I also learned your address from them, but I never had the courage to see you. Finally, in 2020, we met again at that class reunion, which I arranged just to meet you. At that time, I lied to you, and at that moment I understood your intentions, but my feelings for you may have already surpassed love, and you have become the most important person in my life, I really hope that I can meet you in a better way in the next life, so that I can always live in your heart. Maybe when you read this letter, I am no longer by your side, flowers bloom and fall, time changes, I hope you can always remember me, I will also remember that kind and shy girl gently poked my back with a pen, while saying helplessly: "Xue Yufan, you can't do such a simple math problem, I really don't know how you came from elementary school?" After finishing speaking, he patiently began to explain in detail.
I wish time hadn't passed, and we were still the same, how nice it was!
There is a check for $200,000 in this envelope, please accept it and fulfill my last wish for me. My daughter, Momo, is the most indebted person in my life, Huang Wenwen has no opinion, and I have entrusted the matter of property inheritance to a lawyer. She is a kind woman, I ask you to persuade her for me, persuade her to remarry as soon as possible, I can't let her delay her youth for me, and I hope you can help me take care of Momo, educate her well, and make her an excellent woman.
After Shen Yin finished reading the letter, tears blurred her eyes, and she had already used up a cigarette of tissue. She put the letter into the wooden box and whispered, "Xue Yufan, I will take care of them for you, you can go on the road with peace of mind!" ”
After two hours, Wang Mengliang appeared at the door with Momo in his arms, and he said hesitantly: "How are we going to sleep tonight?" ”
Shen Yin put down the sketch, hugged Momo and said, "I still have work to deal with, so you should sleep with her!" ”
"I've never slept with a child, and I don't have a crib at home, so I'm really worried about accidentally kicking her under the bed." He said softly, "Why don't we sleep together tonight, and you watch me and prevent me from kicking?" ”
She immediately refused: "No, your bed is so big, there is no problem at all to sleep three people, don't make excuses." ”
Momo pulled Wang Mengliang's collar and said in a milky voice: "Uncle, sleep!" ”
"Look, such a lovely child, can you bear to have her kicked under the bed by me?" He hugged Momo and looked at her pleadingly.
In the end, Shen Yin still compromised, and the three of them slept in the same bed, and Momo slept between them.
When he woke up in the morning, Shen Yin found that he had gotten up, and when he saw Momo sleeping in his arms, his mother's love was born spontaneously from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but want to pinch her cheeks.
Wang Mengliang appeared at the door, walked over to look at Momo, and gently touched her nose, "Get up for breakfast, 'little naughty' is still sleeping." ”
Momo's body moved, slowly opened his eyes, and shouted at him, "Dad, hug ......" They looked at each other, Wang Mengliang held Momo in his arms, "'Little naughty' is sleepy, let's go have breakfast." ”
Shen Yin looked at the deep dark circles under her eyes in the mirror, looking tired, recalling that Momo was hungry in the middle of the night last night, she got up to make milk powder for her, Wang Mengliang hugged her while coaxing, and urged her to hurry up.
"What are you smiling at? Come over for breakfast. He sat down at the table and shouted.
"Raising children knows the kindness of their parents, and I can be regarded as experiencing the hard work of raising children." Shen Yin sat down and said with a yawn.
"It's only been less than a day, and you can't hold on?"
She pointed to her eyes and complained, "I don't know how many more days I will stay, it seems that I can't sleep well these days." ”
"What about our children after that? Who will raise it? ”
Shen Yin knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly picked up the bowl and drank the porridge, pretending not to hear.
He didn't say anything more, smiled secretly, and crushed the eggs and put them in Momo's bowl.
After breakfast, Wang Mengliang sat on the sofa and took care of Momo while finishing the computer, and Shen Yin was washing dishes in the kitchen, "Shall we go to the zoo today?" Anyway, the temperature is not high today. He shouted towards the kitchen.
"If you want to go yourself, I still have to work." She buried her head in the dishes and continued to wash the dishes, ignoring him in the slightest.
Wang Mengliang hugged Momo to his lap and whispered in her ear: "Momo, shall we go to the zoo?" There were elephants and giraffes inside. ”
Momo clapped his hands excitedly, "Okay, zoo, giraffe." ”
Seeing that Momo was very interested, he continued: "Then call your godmother, as long as she goes, we will go to the zoo to see the giraffes, okay?" ”
Momo nodded obediently, walked up to Shen Yin, hugged her leg and said, "Godmother, zoo, giraffe......"
She squatted down and persuaded, "Momo, let's not go to the zoo, can my godmother teach you to draw?" ”
Momo hugged her legs and coquettishly, looking like she was about to cry, "Godmother, giraffe ......"
Shen Yin compromised again and went to the zoo with them.
Today, Wednesday, there were not many vehicles on the road, there was no traffic jam, and Wang Mengliang drove for half an hour to the zoo in the neighboring county. Momo was very excited along the way, and kept shouting: "Giraffes, elephants." ”
When they arrived at the zoo, they went to see the monkeys first, Wang Mengliang held Momo and fed bananas to the monkeys, and Shen Yin only watched them from the side. Momo's interest became stronger and stronger, clamoring to see the golden monkey, and kept pestering Wang Mengliang to lift himself high.
