Chapter 528: The Past
Bai Zixin and Chen Ping had slept for a long time in the afternoon, so although it was late at night, neither of them was sleepy.
It's just that the two of them had a quarrel in the afternoon because of Bai Qiuluo, so now they are also lying on the bed separately, and they don't speak.
In fact, it can't be regarded as a quarrel, it can only be said that Bai Zixin said the wrong thing, and Chen Ping is angry with him.
Outside the window, insects and birds chirped, and the house was silent.
Finally, after Chen Ping turned over again, Bai Zixin couldn't help but speak.
"Ping'er, you can't sleep."
Chen Ping's body suddenly stiffened slightly when she heard this.
Because Bai Zixin didn't move or speak all the time, she thought Bai Zixin was asleep, but she didn't want him to be asleep.
In the end, it is a husband and wife, and no matter how angry it is, it will almost disappear in an afternoon and half a night, so Chen Ping hummed lightly, which can be regarded as a promise.
Bai Zixin saw that she had finally taken care of herself, and she was happy, so she hurriedly whispered, "You can't sleep either." ”
"Hmm." Chen Ping responded.
There are two main reasons why Chen Ping couldn't sleep, one was because she slept too much in the afternoon, and the other was because when she talked to Bai Zixin in the afternoon, she mentioned Bai Qiuluo's life experience, which made her feel uneasy.
"Ping'er, are you still angry with me?" Bai Zixin asked cautiously.
Chen Ping didn't speak this time.
Because she's really angry.
"Ping'er, you misunderstood me. My words in the afternoon did not mean to refer to the autumn fall. Bai Zixin opened his mouth lowly.
After a pause, seeing that Chen Ping didn't answer him, Bai Zixin said in a low voice: "Although Qiuluo is not our biological child, but we raised her from childhood to adulthood, I have already regarded her as my own daughter, and I did not treat her as an outsider." ”
Outside the house, Bai Qiuluo, who was quietly approaching, was stunned when he heard this.
At that moment, she had the illusion of who I am, what happened there.
She didn't expect that she would lean over and listen to the corner and hear such exciting news.
Bai Qiuluo squatted on the ground and did not move.
Chen Ping's voice sounded in the room: "But your words clearly treat her as an outsider." ”
"I didn't." Bai Zixin refuted, then sighed lightly and said, "I just didn't expect that we could have our own children in this life, I'm just too excited." ”
Chen Ping was silent for a moment and did not say a word.
Bai Zixin looked at the darkness in front of him and said in a low voice: "Back then, our child's body was too weak to survive that winter, when I took her to bury her, I thought in my heart, if there is really reincarnation in this world, I hope she will not dislike us, and the next reincarnation will definitely be reincarnated into your womb, and be our child." I just hope she can pick a good time, not on a cold and biting winter day, the environment is too bad, too sinful. ”
"When I buried the child and walked back, I thought she couldn't bear me."
Bai Zixin smiled as he spoke, thinking of the scene at that time, his eyes were filled with tears.
"I thought, I must be wrong, she's still alive, I'm going to dig her up. Then I ran back, but I was in too much of a hurry, and the road was slippery and slippery, so I fell, and then I saw the autumn fall. ”
"She was so good, wrapped in swaddling clothes, looking at me with big eyes, dripping, not turning. I was still crying earlier, but when I saw me, I stopped crying. ”
"I thought at the time, God must have seen us too hard and wanted to compensate us, so he sent her to me. So I carried her home. ”
"I remember what you looked like. The originally boring withered tree seems to be spring in an instant, and the whole person is alive. Later, in order not to let people find out that Qiuluo was different from our children, and I was afraid that someone would find me, I took you to live on the mountain for two years, and then I took you down the mountain. After descending the mountain, sure enough, no one doubted that Qiuluo was not our child. Obviously, those two years were very hard, but I feel very happy, Ping'er, those are two years that I still can't forget. ”
It was the first time Chen Ping heard Bai Zixin talk about the scene of picking up Bai Qiuluo at that time, and he was quite touched in his heart.
She reached out and grabbed Bai Zixin's hand, and called in a low voice: "Brother Xin......"
"Although Qiuluo is not our biological daughter, after all these years of getting along, I have already regarded her as my own daughter. Ping'er, we are a family. Our Qiuluo was taught very well by you, she is a good child. Bai Zixin held her hand with his backhand and said with a low smile.
Chen Ping felt a little astringent in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xin, you said that after so many years, has Qiuluo's family ever looked for her?" ”
"I don't know, maybe I've looked for it." Bai Zixin said softly.
"We're not in Xiaoxi Village now, even if they can really find us, they won't be able to find us." Chen Ping whispered: "It's not good for us." If you hadn't taken care of my illness back then, you wouldn't have been able to take me to the mountains to live for two years, and if someone came to the door at that time, Qiuluo would have been able to reunite with her family. ”
This matter has been buried in Chen Ping's heart for more than ten years.
If Bai Zixin hadn't taken her to live directly in the mountains for two years, if they lived in the village, someone would have come to look for her, and they would definitely be able to find Qiuluo back.
But at that time, she was deeply grieved by the loss of her daughter, and Bai Zixin happened to pick up Bai Qiuluo back, so she regarded Bai Qiuluo as her own daughter and pinned all her feelings on her.
At that time, she was inseparable from Bai Qiuluo.
Even she didn't want Bai Zixin to approach them, and she didn't like Bai Zixin to hug Bai Qiuluo.
She just lost a daughter, sensitive, fragile, and paranoid, she was afraid that Bai Zixin would send her away if she hugged Bai Qiuluo, which would make her lose her daughter again.
In order to take care of her almost broken mood, Bai Zixin couldn't, so he could only take her and Bai Qiuluo to live in the mountains for two years, until her condition improved, and then took them back to Xiaoxi Village.
So, strictly speaking, Bai Qiuluo was stolen by her.
This made Chen Ping feel very uncomfortable, but she couldn't let go of Bai Qiuluo.
After all, she also regarded Bai Qiuluo as her daughter in her heart.
"Don't think so. You think, the bad weather at that time, but the autumn fall was left in such a wilderness, which means that either her family didn't want her and abandoned her, or there was an accident in the family and accidentally lost her. Either way, I picked her up and saved her life. ”
After all, in such bad weather, an adult can freeze to death if he stays outside all night, not to mention that Bai Qiuluo was just a child waiting to be fed at that time.
Chen Ping said in a low voice: "Having said that, I finally feel guilty in my heart. After all, if something happened to her family and she lost her, if she was safe afterwards, she would definitely be looking for her in the nearby village, but I took her and hid, I ......"
Bai Zixin said in a low voice: "It's been so many years, don't blame yourself." Besides, I believe that the fate between people will not be so shallow. Although we came to the boundary of the capital, don't forget, the blue swaddling clothes wrapped around Qiuluo's body back then were of excellent texture, and it was obviously a material that only rich and noble families could afford, and how rich people are in the capital, maybe Qiuluo's biological father and mother are here? ”
Chen Ping knew that Bai Zixin said this just to appease her.
After all, Xiaoxi Village is so far away from the capital, and Qiuluo was only so big at that time, she must have been born locally, how could her family be in the capital?
Chen Ping was silent in a sullen voice, and Bai Zixin continued: "We have already handed over the jade pendant in the swaddling clothes back then, and if they meet her family, they will be able to recognize her." ”
"Brother Xin, do you think we should tell her about Qiuluo's life experience?" Chen Ping said in a low voice.
Bai Zixin thought about it, and finally shook his head gently: "It's not time yet." You are just pregnant now, let's tell her that she is not our biological daughter, what should Qiuluo think? How sad would she be if she misunderstood that we didn't want her after we had our own children? So we can't talk about it for the time being. ”
Chen Ping actually had this concern in her heart, and she still wanted to continue to hide it and ask Bai Zixin, that is, she wanted to get his support.
Bai Qiuluo, who was sitting at the door eavesdropping, couldn't help complaining, I'm really embarrassed, I eavesdropped on the root of the wall, and I just heard it.
The conversation between Chen Ping and Bai Zixin in the room was still faint, but Bai Qiuluo had no desire to continue listening.
She bent over her waist and cautiously left the door of the two of them.
She went back to her room, trying to digest what she had just heard.
Earlier, she heard a whisper outside the door of Bai Zixin and Chen Ping, and she was a little worried, after all, both of them were now injured, and it was not very convenient, so she stepped forward to hear what they had to say.
However, she didn't expect to hear such a powerful secret.
Bai Qiuluo turned out to be not Bai Zixin and Chen Ping's biological daughter!
If it weren't biological, even if it was raised by his side for many years, there would be some estrangement, but the two didn't. The two are very good to Bai Qiuluo, what is the difference between that posture and their own daughter? That's why she never doubted her origins.
But today, when she suddenly learned that the two were not her biological parents, Bai Qiuluo's mind was still a little complicated, but she still felt that Bai Zixin and his wife were not easy.
After all, there are not many people who can treat the children of others as their own.
But Bai Zixin did it very Chen Ping.
They are very good to her, take good care of her, and love her very much, even if she is not biological, but the child left by Bai Zixin in order to take care of Chen Ping's condition, they also treat her as their own child to spoil her.
Even if their conditions and environment are not good, they still do their best to give Bai Qiuluo the best.
So Bai Qiuluo really has nothing to be unhappy about.
Another one, she herself is a traversing person, when she arrived at the Bai family, she felt the love of Bai Zixin and Chen Ping, and felt the affection of her parents, which was enough for her, as for whether she was biological or not, it didn't seem to matter so much.
Bai Qiuluo thought about it, and finally came back to his senses.
