Chapter 18: Where's Daddy?
For three days in a row, there was no news from Gan Li's side.
Aunt Zhao wanted to ask if Teacher Xie didn't make clothes, but she felt that it was inappropriate to run and ask, so she endured it and didn't say anything.
It's just that I have this matter in my heart, and I always get distracted inadvertently when I usually do things.
At noon on Friday, Xu Jiaren, who had been reborn, finally saw her mother.
In my memory, my mother spoke very little, never wore bright clothes, and was often plain.
The temples were mixed with wind and frost, and very little hair was coiled into a simple bun.
The whole person looks dull and old-fashioned.
But now my mother is still very young.
Her hair is short, carefully groomed and permed in large curls, looking smart and foreign.
He was wearing an off-white New Zealand suit, and the pants were some flared trousers that were popular nowadays.
Paired with a pair of black small block-heeled leather shoes, it looks fashionable and good-looking.
Today's mother still likes to dress up and has not lost her love for life and herself.
"Mom-"
As soon as Li Hui entered the door, she put down the cloth bag she was carrying, opened it and shouted, "I brought a bag of apples and these snacks...... And this bag of sugar. β
Grandma was burning the fire and making noodles, and when she entered the house, she saw the things spread out on the table, and complained, "What are you buying these for?" Spend money again! That person's account is over? β
"Half of it was returned. I've asked others, we're divorced, and there's no reason to say that I have to pay it back! I won't pay it back in the future! β
Speaking of this, Li Hui looked at her daughter sitting on the edge of the bed and said, "Besides, the child is also raised by me, and there is no reason to help him carry his debts!" β
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she immediately showed a worried look, and said bitterly in a suppressed voice, "That's what I said, but can that person let us go?" If you want me to say, let's work harder...... More is better than less......"
Li Hui was a little anxious and argued: "Mom! That's a thousand! My current salary is only 26 yuan a month! Even if I don't get 30 yuan a month without vacation, I have to pay it back for more than 3 years if I don't eat or drink! Aren't we going to spend the next three years?
"The child hasn't made new clothes for two years, and the cotton of the cotton pants in the winter has to be changed...... We can't carry this money! β
"Heyβit's all because I didn't inquire about it in the first place. Your aunt introduced the personal age and agreed......"
Aunt Zhao became even more uncomfortable after hearing this, wiping her tears: "I knew that person was so bad, even if I let you be an old girl, I wouldn't let you marry." β
"Mom, what are you talking about now? I'm so old. β
Li Hui wiped her red eyes, looked at her daughter who was in a daze on the edge of the bed, walked over and asked, "Yadan, do you miss your mother?" Isn't kindergarten fun? β
It turned out that my mother didn't know that she had been expelled from kindergarten.
"Mom, why didn't this kid go to kindergarten?" Li Hui suddenly reacted and asked.
Aunt Zhao sighed again and said, "Yadan scratched the face of the kindergarten child, and they didn't let it go." β
"Don't let it go? Didn't you just scratch your face? Not really, right? β
Li Hui said dissatisfiedly: "Children are naughty, where is the reason to be expelled if you make a mistake?" I went to their teacher. β
"Oops! Sit down! Teachers resolutely don't want to! β
Aunt Zhao pressed her daughter, "That's the children's kindergarten of the Water Conservancy Bureau, if you go to find something, how will Xiaoping still be in the unit in the future?" β
"Xiaoping Xiaoping, why do you always think about others? I don't know if I'm your daughter or if she is! Li Hui complained unhappily.
Whenever there is a conflict with my aunt's family, my mother must consider others first.
"The most difficult time for us was when your aunt took us in! People should know how to repay their kindness! β
Aunt Zhao reprimanded unhappily: "If it wasn't for someone to stutter back then, you would have starved to death!" This is a lifesaver! Don't say anything like that again! β
Li Hui pursed the corners of her lips and did not argue again.
Back then, her mother brought her and her brother to join her aunt's family, although she gave them a bite to eat, but what they did afterwards was really despicable.
Over the years, bit by bit, Li Hui has already had a pimple in her heart.
It's just that she doesn't want to quarrel with her mother.
Xu Jiaren has been silently listening to her grandmother and mother's words, and she is confused.
Especially the "divorce" that my mother said, she is only 4 years old now, and the divorce between her mother and father should be 10 years later.
Could it be that after she was reborn, something was wrong?
"Ah Yi, do you know what's going on?" Xu Jiaren asked in her mind.
Whoosh β
The white light flashed, and Ah Yi was sitting on Li Hui's lap, but Li Hui couldn't see him at all.
"I don't know - I might be able to take a look at the information when I level up. Not now. Ah Yi shook her head.
It's an upgrade again!
Xu Jia scolded angrily: "This shouldn't be your excuse, right?" β
"Whatever you want. It's not easy for me to stay invisible. β
Ah Yi yawned after speaking, "I continued to sleep." β
Xu Jiaren: "......"
Li Hui was distracted, turned her head to look at her daughter, and said that she felt a little wrong today.
Her daughter is so quiet!
Every time she came back on her day off, her daughter would pull her affectionately and say it.
But she hasn't said a word since she entered the door today.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Hui took her daughter's little hand and asked.
Xu Jiaren shook her head and didn't speak.
Li Hui clapped her hands and said, "Come, come to Mom, Mom hug." β
Xu Jiaren jumped off the ground obediently and turned her head to sit on her mother's lap.
There was a faint smell of alabaster on my mother's body, and this smell has always stayed in the depths of my memory.
The fragrant taste and the warmth in the palm of her hand made Xu Jiaren's eyes warm all of a sudden.
Since her father went to prison, her relationship with her mother has become cold day by day, and in the end, it has simply developed to the point that she is against her mother in everything she does.
Later, she ran away from home, and until the success of her business, her relationship with her mother never eased.
The two said that they were mother and daughter, but the relationship was no different from strangers.
But now, everything is still the same.
"Tell your mother, what makes you unhappy?"
Li Hui asked in a gentle voice, "Haven't you seen your mother for a week and don't want me?" β
"Do you want to eat sugar? Mom weighed you a pound of fruit candy! β
"Mom?"
Xu Jiaren adjusted her mood and raised her head to look at her mother.
"What's wrong? Do you have a little secret to tell your mother? Li Hui looked into her daughter's eyes and asked with a smile.
The daughter is really good-looking, with long eyelashes, big eyes, although she is a little black and thin, but her facial features are beautiful like a doll.
Pity...... Such a good-looking child was reincarnated as her daughter.
What a poor child.
Li Hui smiled gently, but Xu Jiaren saw a trace of sadness in her eyes.
She thought about it for a moment and asked in a childish tone, "Mom, why didn't my dad come to see me?" β
