I stood against the wall, and Zhai Yi said nervously, "Are you okay?" While looking at Chen Yuyao's back angrily.

"It's fine." I heard my voice as light as a feather falling to the ground, and suddenly a bad premonition flashed in my heart, "Why haven't Auntie and Qiqi come back yet?" ”

Looking at Chen Yuyao who was so angry, I had to be scared and worried.

Zhai Yi was stunned, and then said, "I'll call my mother to ask." ”

Before he dialed the number, I already heard the voices of Zhai Mu and Qi Qi talking and laughing in the corridor, Zhai Yi and I poked our heads out in unison, and Zhai Mother really bought wontons and came back.

"Mommy! Zhai U

cle！ Qiqi smiled and waved at us, "Guess where we bought it from?" ”

"The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring." I say.

"How do you know?" Qiqi ran up to me excitedly and asked.

"It's written on the bag." I said softly, "Have you still eaten longan sweet wine?" ”

Qi Qi's mouth has a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers. I have a better sense of smell than the average person, and I discovered it when I was studying sake brewing when I was in college.

"Mommy! God is a gi

l。 Qiqi looked at me with sparkling eyes.

He often used this phrase to praise me. At first I didn't understand and asked him what he meant. He said, "I haven't seen God, but I think God must be a smart girl like Mommy."

Being called "girl" by my own son made me feel overjoyed. Because I think it's better than all the flattering words of mature men in the world.

Qiqi is a typical British mindset, appreciating independent and capable women. And Chinese men just don't like women who are too smart, no, it should be said, don't like women who are smart and exposed. You can be smart, but to learn to be introverted, you need to do everything right.

To be honest, Chen Yuyao is like this...... Zhai Yi too.

I have not been in a "foreign country" outside of the UK, but during my six years in London, I have noticed the difference between the gentlemanly spirit in the UK and the gentleman culture in China.

"Gentlemanly manners" or "chivalry" originally came from the etiquette of the knightly class towards the noble ladies.

This etiquette originated from the ancient European knights' love for noble ladies, when knights used to kill enemies on the battlefield to obtain spoils of war and offer hospitality as a means of pleasing "my lady".

This relationship is essentially a kind of admiration and respect for the noblewomen of higher social status as the lowest nobles.

As for the farmer's daughter or the maid in the firewood house, she is not entitled to this treatment. The knights do not, and are not obliged to, be courteous and respectful to them. This is also the very different attitude that Jeffrey has towards me as a maid and me as a winery technician.

I don't deny that he said that he had a crush on me when he met me in China, but he would never have chosen to confess when I was still a maid.

I have no right to blame Jeffrey, but I'm also destined not to fall in love with him. Because compared to icing on the cake, it is easier for Chinese women to fall by sending charcoal in the snow. I'm not exempt from vulgarity.

I still don't understand whether my feelings for Chen Yuyao are considered love.

Is that out of dependence formed since childhood, or out of the hero worship of young girls. I think it's more about the former.

If it is a hero worship, it is too unfair to Zhai Yi. He also saved me from fire and water, and only he could make me feel warm and calm.

I subconsciously caressed my belly, and there was still a small life in it. Zhai Yi is right, it is a gift from God, and it should be born under the common expectations of parents.

"Mommy, how did you get the results of your check?" Qiqi asked.

"yes, how's it going?" Zhai's mother was also concerned.

I don't know why, I blushed.

Zhai Yi replied on my behalf: "She ...... in the torrential rain Pregnant. ”

"Pregnant?" Qiqi's eyes widened.

"Really?" Mother Zhai glanced at Father Zhai on the hospital bed, saw that his face was calm, slightly stunned, and then lowered her head and explained to Qiqi, "Pregnancy means that you have to have a little brother or little sister." ”

"Oh, then I want a brother." "So I have someone to play RC racing with me." ”

"My little sister is also very good." Zhai's mother said.

The people of S City like their daughters very much. Perhaps, Jin Minghai is an exception.

"I also think my daughter is good." Zhai Yi said.

"What do you think, Annan?" Zhai Mu asked with a smile.

Father Zhai smiled reluctantly, "It's all good." ”

"What about you? Torrential rain. Zhai Yi asked me.

I don't look over my head to avoid making eye contact with Father Zhai, "I think I think too...... All good. ”

Zhai Yi looked at me deeply and said in a committed tone: "I will definitely work harder in the future to make you and your children live well." ”

"Now...... It's not bad. I smiled at him, "And in the future, you won't be able to live a good life by working hard alone......"

Zhai Yi was stunned. I had already made up my mind, so I continued, "I'll work with you." ”

Zhai Yi's eyes lit up in an instant, and he was about to speak, Qi Qi had already said, "And me!" And me! ”

Zhai Yi and I couldn't help laughing, Zhai Yi said to Qi Qi: "I know, and you." How can everything be less of our Pokemo

This. ”

Qi Qi crossed her arms and smiled triumphantly.

“Pokemo

, will Du Fu's "Quatrain" be memorized? I asked him.

He always recites "two yellow orioles singing green willows, and a line of egrets on the 'west sky'." ”

Qiqi looked at me resentfully, "You better give birth to a little brother quickly, oh, little sister is okay too." You let him/her carry it. ”

I smiled and shook my head.

When I came out of the hospital, I took Qiqi to piano lessons. There was a café near the piano shop, and I walked in.

Whether you can drink coffee during pregnancy has been controversial. But in the UK, no pregnant woman will quit coffee, and if you don't let them drink coffee, it's just like not letting expectant mothers in Sichuan and Hunan give up chili.

Theoretically, *** has the effect of constricting blood vessels, which may affect the development of the fetus. This time, no matter what, I have to take good care of the baby in my belly until he is born. Therefore, I don't want to risk and challenge this medical theory. And what I love is not ***, but the aroma of coffee.

So I ended up ordering just a piece of red velvet cake and sitting down.

An hour passed quickly, and I put down the spoon, and because of my poor appetite, I only ate a third of the cake.

Just as I was about to reach the door, a voice stopped me: "Torrential rain! Golden Rain! ”

I followed the prestige, and a man dressed in a fashionable but clean temperament stood up and looked at me intently: "It's really you!" ”

"Are you ......" I searched in my mind for a long time, and finally matched this face with a certain face in my memory, "Lu Jian!" ”

He laughed, "You remembered?" Has I changed so much? ”

No, it's because my face has basically changed little, but what I dress has changed, so I didn't recognize it for a while.

"I thought it was a college student," I shook my head incredulously, "and you still look pretty much the same way you did back then." ”

"I'm a year older than you." Lu Jian smiled, "Your appearance hasn't changed much, but your tone is so old-fashioned." As he spoke, he made an "invite" gesture towards me, "It's been a long time, how have you been all these years?" ”

Seeing that he looked like he was ready to reminisce, I felt a little cramped, "That, Lu Jian...... I still have to pick up the kids. ”

"You're married?" He was a little surprised.

It seems that he doesn't know what happened to the rosary back then. But for some reason, I wanted to run away even more.

"Hmm." I hurriedly responded, and then said: "Lu Jian, in fact, I still ......", before the word "matter" was spoken, Qi Qi rushed in, "Mommy! I knew, 'Within 10 steps, there will be grass'! ”

He pounced all of a sudden, "Today, Teacher Guo told me that in the August exam, I can start from level six!" ”

I smiled, "You...... How do you know I'm here? ”

"Didn't I say, 'Within ten steps, there will be grass'. I came out of the classroom, and I didn't see you, so I went back and asked the teacher where there was a café around here - and then I found you, Mommy. ”

"That's smart." Lu Jian bent down, "Not only do you fully understand your mommy, but you are also very cautious, not grabbing a passer-by to ask, but asking a teacher you trust." At such a young age, he was so meticulous. ”

"I'm not too small." Qiqi was very unhappy, "After I was three years old, I was a man. It's Ma

, not Boy. ”

"Qiqi, you can't be so rude!" I snorted.

Lu Jian didn't think it was wrong, he said: "You can say something like 'within ten steps, there will be fragrant grass', well, you really can't underestimate it." ”

I knew that this idiom was told to him by Zhai Yi, and just as he was thinking about diverting the topic, Qi Qi's words had already blurted out: "It was my father who told me." ”

Luckily, he said "Daddy".

"Then your 'Daddy' must be a very knowledgeable person."

"Of course, he's Docto

！ (Doctor)" Qi Qi said.

"Qiqi," I began, "this is my mother's friend, surnamed Lu, you have to call him ......"

"Lu U

cle！ He grinned.

It can be seen that he still has a good impression of Lu Jian.

In any case, they are still related by blood. Lu Jian is his ...... Cousin.

Lu Jian asked him, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Eight." He said. "What about you?"

"Qiqi!"

"I'm a year older than your mommy."

"Really?" Qi Qi's eyes widened, "Then you and my daddy should be the same age." ”

"Qi Qi ......" I tried to stop him, and smiled at Lu Jian: "He only came back from England at the age of four, so he doesn't know much about some Chinese etiquette, please don't be surprised." ”

"I think he's pretty good." Lu Jian said, "It's just that I didn't expect it...... You get married almost as soon as you graduate. ”

"Hmm." I replied vaguely, but Qiqi said, "No, my mommy just got married a few days ago!" ”

My face turned red.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Jian's eyes, and he turned to look at me: "I heard that there is another person who was also married a few days ago. ”

I bit my lip and squeezed out a smile, "Lu Jian, I ......" I didn't know how to go on for a while.

I turned my head awkwardly and was ready to say goodbye, but I heard him say, "You also know the person I am talking about - Zhai Yi!" He got married, and he didn't invite me! There was dissatisfaction in his tone, but there was no anger on his face.

For a moment I was speechless.

"Well, I don't blame him, who let me stay abroad all these years." "But he's always had my contact information." Torrential rain, you have also been in H City all these years? Does he have ......?"

"Zhai Yi, he is my daddy!" Qiqi is crisp and authentic.

I regretted not dragging him out early in the morning, and in the face of Lu Jian's stunned expression, I could only maintain the stiff arc of the corners of my mouth.

"The person who married him a few days ago is you?" He looked at me in disbelief.

"Yes." I simply confessed and sat down across from him. I switched my phone to the payment code page and handed it to Qiqi and said to him, "What do you want to eat, go and see for yourself." ”

Qiqi took the phone and ran away again like a gust of wind.

"Do you still have contact with my sister?"

Although I don't call often, I always have contact. I nodded at him and said, "I know she got married last year...... Lu Jian, what about you? ”

"I haven't." His smile was a little sparse, as if he remembered something or someone, and he took the initiative to change the subject, "Where were you in the UK before?" ”

"London." I said, "Go to school there." ”

Lu Jian's gaze still lingered on Qi Qi, "Oh, that's right. ”

"Lu Jian, if you want to ask anything, just ask." I said, the half of the sentence I didn't utter was—"Although I don't promise to answer them all." ”

Lu Jian may also feel impolite, he hesitated for a long time before asking, "Qiqi, whose child is he?" ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "Are you trying to ask, 'Who is the father of the child?'" ’”

He froze and nodded.

"It's Zhai Yi."

Lu Jian's mouth opened wide.

Qi Qi held a piece of chocolate cake and approached slowly, he looked at him with a complicated gaze, and finally he said: "It is not only unexpected, but also expected." ”

I threw a quizzical glance at him.

Lu Jian smiled, "Do you know what Zhai Yi's QQ nickname is?" ”

"QQ nickname?" I felt like he was telling a very old story.

In those years, QQ nicknames, QQ signatures, and QQ talks were pieced together to form the feelings of our generation in adolescence to be sad about the new words.

"I don't know." I said, "I haven't used QQ in years. "Moreover, after Christmas in my sophomore year, Zhai Yi and I put each other on the blacklist, and each other became gray avatars that could never jump out.

"His QQ nickname is 'Hurricane', don't you think about it, it's so ...... 'Middle Two'."

I shook my head and smiled, "Compared to the Martian text of the burial family, I think it's quite normal." ”

Lu Jian also smiled, "That's right." I later found out why he used the nickname 'Tempest'. ”

I made a gesture of listening.

"It's my sister who told me - the indifference is helpless, and the wind and rain are in harmony. If you come late and hope for you, there are many sparse branches on the ground. The reason why he called it 'Tempest' was because he wanted to be in harmony with 'Torrential Rain'. ”
