I quietly went to S City.

After inquiring, I found out that Jin Zhijie had already married a family, and Aunt Liu passed away due to illness a few years ago.

Although Jin Zhijie got married and bought a house, it was all funded by Jin Minghai, and he also sold his original residence for this purpose. Originally, two generations lived in the same house, but as soon as Aunt Liu died, his stepson had limited affection for him after all, and his daughter-in-law often gave him a look, and soon squeezed him out.

Jin Minghai is still three years away from retirement age, and now he has no other source of income, so he had to find a low-rent house in the old city to live alone.

Hearing this, my heart was filled with bitterness and sympathy. Actually, I didn't hate him as much as I thought, otherwise I wouldn't not even have a trace of comfort. Maybe it's because I'm not having a bad time now, so I look back at the past with a forgiving attitude and can be relieved. But if I am no less predicamented than Jin Minghai now, I think I have no time to think about forgiveness.

What's even more fateful is that the low-rent house he is renting now is located in the same alley as the student rental house I lived in thirteen years ago, dozens of steps away from each other, and there is an ancient well in the middle, which is an old thing in the Song Dynasty, and it is also the origin of this alley called "Jing Lane".

It's the rainy season in S City, but today it's a rare sunny day.

In the evening, the slanting sun shone into the alley, a little dazzling, I turned my back, but saw Jin Minghai's rickety figure appear at the mouth of the alley.

He looked like he had just been put back, his face bruised and his gait faltering.

A sour feeling welled up in my nose, and I quickly turned my body back again, just as I was meeting the sunset, and I couldn't help but shed tears.

Jin Minghai leaned over and walked slowly into the alley with his hands on the wall.

It was only when his footsteps faded away that I turned again.

The old grudges are written off. Father and daughter, he has failed me, and I owe him, so let's spend the rest of our lives peacefully in the future.

After discussing with Zhai Yi after returning to H City, I bought a two-bedroom house in S City, and Zhai Yi also used "low rent" to let Jin Minghai live in it by looking for someone to help.

I don't want him to know that I did it because I don't need his gratitude, everything I do is to put myself at ease.

Zhai Yi's thirtieth birthday was approaching, and I went to the hospital to look for him after work. I happened to hear the nurse on duty talking about him, "Do you think Dr. Sun is handsome or Dr. Zhai is handsome?" ”

I couldn't help but slow down my already slow pace and pricked up my ears to hear their answers.

"I think it's Dr. Sun, although he looks very cold, but he is very kind to people. Typical of cold on the outside and hot on the inside. One of the little nurses with a blue glass of water said.

"According to you, Dr. Zhai is the opposite—he looks gentle on the outside, but in fact there is distance in his politeness. However, Dr. Zhai is really handsome. is very similar to Edison Chen in the Yan peak period in "Initial D", but he is much more dedicated than him. ”

"Speaking of dedication, you know? Dr. Zhai is actually married! ”

"What?"

"With whom?"

"And, I'm going to be a father soon."

"Really? How would you know? ”

"I heard from Wang Jie from the obstetrics and gynecology department that his wife has come to the prenatal checkup several times."

"Isn't it pretty?" Someone asked curiously.

Wang Jie said that it was very beautiful, but her temperament was not ordinary. said that he immigrated to England in his early years and came back for love. ”

"Oh my God...... Sure enough, good men belong to someone else. ”

"Then do you know that Dr. Zhai has an antique fountain pen, which is pinned in the pocket of the white coat every day, and once it was put on the table and not put away in time, and Dr. Lu took it and used it, and Dr. Zhai lost his temper...... Seriously, I've never seen him so angry...... Usually it looks so gentle......"

"For a pen, as for it?"

"Maybe his wife gave it to him."

"I think...... It was sent by an ex-girlfriend. ”

"By the way, Xiaoxi, you haven't expressed your opinion yet, do you think it's Dr. Sun or Dr. Zhai who is handsome?"

"I'm going to vote for Dr. Zhai." Xiaoxi's nurse said, "It's good to fall in love with Dr. Sun, but if I want to marry my husband, I will definitely choose a man like Dr. Zhai." He can't be nice to everyone, he just needs to be nice to me. ”

"It's less smelly and beautiful." The other two nurses said, "It's also a very serious analysis." Dr. Zhai – There is a master. ”

"I know! Hee-hee, I'll talk about it. ”

Listening to their conversation, I couldn't help but smile. Two votes to one, Zhai Yi won.

Unexpectedly, Zhai Yi's popularity among girls is still the same as it was back then. And the little nurse looked to be in her early twenties at most, and even knew "Initial D". I suddenly remembered the situation when I skipped class with the rosary to watch this movie, originally she went to Jay Chou, and I was accompanying the prince to study. As a result, after coming out of the theater, we sat on a bench under the camphor tree to discuss the plot, but we were unanimously impressed by Ryosuke Takahashi played by Edison Chen.

Whether it's the act of smoking, or the shallow smile that lowers the corners of the mouth, it always looks careless, but it is so natural and appropriate.

Rosary said that in fact, she had read the manga with the initial D, but when she read the manga, she didn't think Ryosuke Takahashi was so charming. It can be said that it was Edison Chen who gave Ryosuke Takahashi flesh and blood and the charm that did not exist in the manga.

In fact, now that I think about it, the rosary should have secretly liked Zhai Yi at that time.

Zhai Yi and Chen Yuyao are brothers, and although the age difference is five years, there are similarities between them.

But at that time, the rosary didn't mention Zhai Yi, she just said that Ryosuke Takahashi's eyes were like Situ Que.

"Torrential rain, you're coming." Zhai Yi's voice pulled me out of my memory, and when I looked up, I saw that he had changed his white coat. Every time I saw him it was outside of his work, so it's no wonder I've never seen that pen pinned to his pocket.

Hearing the movement, the three nurses who had just been talking looked at me in unison.

"Well, I'm here to pick you up from work." I just didn't notice, and nodded with a smile at Zhai Yi.

"It turns out that she is Mrs. Zhai."

"Shh......h

"Say, did Mrs. Zhai hear what we said just now?"

Zhai Yi helped me walk forward slowly, and I heard their uneasy discussions behind me, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"What do you think, so happy?" Zhai Yi asked me.

"I'm thinking about you." I said, "It's rare for a dentist to work overtime, and you know how much I envy you?" ”

I took an hour off today to avoid the rush hour.

"Is it too hard to work at work?" Zhai Yi asked me.

I shook my head. He was always worried that I would be bad for the fetus if I continued to work as a pharmacist, but I told him that at my institute of Western medicine, I would hardly come across drugs such as musk saffron.

"I'm talking about fun, you don't have to worry about it." I said, "Today is your 30th birthday, how are we going to celebrate?" ”

"Where's Qiqi?" He asked me.

"I've gone home. This kid ...... Now, as soon as school is over, he runs back by himself, saying that he has already memorized the route and will not let us pick him up again. ”

"It's right for boys to be independent earlier." Zhai Yi said.

"But I'm worried......" I wanted to say but stopped.

"The phone watch I bought for Qiqi has a positioning function, and it can call the police with one click...... So, put your heart back in your belly. ”

"Hmm." I replied softly, "So how are we going to eat at night?" ”

"It's time to go home and eat." He said.

"So what do you want to eat? We'll go grocery shopping in a moment, and I'll make it for you. ”

"Pregnant women can't smell the fumes," he said, "and I'll do it." ”

"How can there be a reason to let the birthday star do it himself?" I say.

"Let's go out and eat, then." Zhai Yi said, "Anyway, I can't let my wife work hard to cook." ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, you're the biggest today, I'll listen to you." ”

"What did you say?" Zhai Yi suddenly whispered in my ear, "Do you listen to me too?" ”

I couldn't help but blush, and I was ashamed to slap him, "You...... Disrespect for the Father! ”

Zhai Yi rolled his eyes and pursed his lips, "Listen to me for everything you said just now...... It turned out to be a lie. ”

I tugged at his sleeve, "Would you like to change it?" ”

"I don't want to change." Zhai Yi said, "This is my birthday wish." ”

"Turning around hurts the child......" I said abruptly.

"No, it won't." Zhai Yi's eyes lit up, and he hugged me and said, "You have to believe in science......" He immediately lowered his voice, "I'll be careful......"

I blushed again, thought for a moment, and snorted, "Okay...... According to your ......"

As a result, after returning home, Qiqi had already prepared three dishes and one soup.

Although the dishes are simple, they are enough to move Zhai Yi and me.

In fact, people who play the piano take care of their hands and easily do not do housework. Zhai Yi was the same back then.

Parental love is one thing, but more importantly, it is because playing the piano should keep the fingers soft and sensitive.

This is also what I learned after I sent Qiqi to learn piano.

In Zhai Yi's words, Qiqi's talent for playing the piano is better than that of his back then, so he is not very willing to let him work on weekdays.

It's just that because the education I gave to Qiqi in London was always to "do my own thing", so he didn't particularly care about it, he said, "A lot of street performers have rough hands, but it doesn't prevent them from playing beautiful music." If I can't play the piano just because my hands are rough, then I can learn another instrument. ”

I really love the way little he said these words calmly.

“Pokemo

You're amazing! Baby. I opened my arms to him.

Qiqi is almost nine years old, and his gender consciousness has become stronger and stronger, he is a little embarrassed, and gently hugged me and let go. And the way Zhai Yi interacted with him was much simpler, and the two of them bumped into each other with fists like friends. Zhai Yi winked at him, "You really surprise me!" ”

"What's so strange about that?" Qi Qi shrugged, "My name is Jin Qi!" ”

Zhai Yi laughed.

Qiqi glanced at my stomach and suddenly asked, "Then what is the name of the little brother or sister that Mommy is going to give birth to next?" Golden Surprise? Jin panic? ”

He suddenly bent over and laughed.

I glanced at Zhai Yi slightly embarrassed, but he looked calm, "I think it's good to be called 'gold' - how happy." ”

"No," Qiqi shook her head, "cheesy." As...... Call him the Golden Leopard, right? ”

"What if it's a girl?" Zhai Yi asked him.

"Then it's called - gold inlaid jade!" Qi Qi always unexpectedly shows his high and low level of Chinese studies.

"I just want to know, when can we sit down and eat?" I couldn't help but interrupt the discussion of their names.

After sitting down, I said to Qiqi, "Pokemo."

, Mommy and Daddy's ancestral home are in S City, which is where grandparents are, and in our generation, most of the forms of union are 'two families in one'. Do you understand what that means? ”

Qi Qi bit his chopsticks and shook his head.

"There is no high bride price or dowry, it is just the meaning of the two families, but they will still have a wedding. The married couple can live by themselves, with the man or with the woman. It is common to have two children, one with the man's surname and the other with the woman's surname. It's called 'two in one'. ”

Zhai Yi kept smiling and listening, and from the moment I started to discuss, he understood what I meant, and his gentle gaze almost drowned me.

"Oh. Then I get it. Qi Qi said, "I already have your surname, so the next brother or sister has to have the surname of Daddy, right?" ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter." Zhai Yi said the truth, "Because no matter whose surname you have, the baby in your belly and Mommy is my child." ”

Qi Qi nodded thoughtfully.

Zhai Yi put chopsticks and shredded potatoes into his bowl, and Qi Qi raised his head, "What is that called 'Zhai'?" ”

He was still thinking about the name.

Zhai Yi and I couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Zhai Yi said to him, "Then why don't you leave the name of this brother or sister to you?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Qiqi responded positively.

"Nope." I objected, "Do you want to use a name like 'Money Leopard' again?" ”

If you don't have to, you break your promise, even if you are a parent, you should do it if you promise your child. If you use it, doesn't it mean that you will harm the second child for a lifetime?

"I won't!" Qiqi said, "I must look through the dictionary and think about it." ”

Zhai Yi glanced at me with a strong sense of persuasion in his eyes.

I know that he wanted Qiqi to have an emotional connection with his unborn brother or sister.

So I nodded, "Okay." Then you have to be careful, the name will be used for a lifetime, if you don't come up well, he will grow up in the future to blame you. ”

"yes, I see!" Qi Qi replied, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Then why, my cousin can change his surname from 'Zhai' to 'Chen'?" ”

The smile on my face froze.
