Lying in the small box was a carved wooden artwork, but the palm-sized wood carved a vivid and detailed picture, although the figure in the picture was a silhouette, but it could also be seen that it was a little girl of two or three years old with pigtails being held high by her father, and the background was the sea with the sun rising...... Every detail on the wood carving is well handled, just like the painting, realistic to shocking.

I carefully held it in my hand and looked at it, and asked him by the way, "Where did you buy this, it's expensive, isn't it?" ”

Lao Hu smiled and said, "It's not expensive, I got a piece of wood on the mountain by myself, and it took more than a month to carve it out, hehe, I can't afford to give expensive gifts, so I just made it myself, if you don't dislike it, just accept it." ”

"You carved it yourself?" I raised my eyelids and looked at him in surprise, "This is really carved out by you with a knife, not bought?" ”

"Hmm."

I couldn't believe my eyes, and once again carefully looked at the wood carving in my hand, which would not have been possible without decades of professional craftsmanship... I couldn't help asking, "Lao Hu, since you have such a good craft, why don't you open your own shop, why do you still do those dirty jobs that don't make money?" ”

Lao Hu smiled, "I'm just an amateur fur level, and I can't call it a 'craft'." When I was in prison, I learned from a fellow inmate, and when I first came in, I was so desperate that I always tried to commit suicide, but fortunately, this fellow inmate enlightened me. This cellmate is a real folk artist, and he has a personality problem, saying that he was sentenced to life imprisonment for accidentally killing his wife...... I later became friends with this fellow inmate, and I learned a little bit of wood fiddling with wood from him, just to pass the time, but also to calm people's minds, self-cultivation is quite good, if you want to say that it has risen to the point of opening a store to make money, then I guess I really can't get it. ”

I nodded approvingly, stared at the silhouette of the picture, and asked with a smile, "This little girl is your daughter, right?" Is this you? ”

When Lao Hu heard this, his face was a little unnatural, he paused, and said a little perfunctorily, "No, I'm just casually carving,"

I guess this was a bit of a sore spot for him, so I didn't ask any more, and said easily, "Okay, then I'll accept your gift, thank you, really attentive." ”

"Well," Lao Hu looked particularly pleased, "I should want to thank you for not disliking an old thing like me." ”

"Then I'll go out to work first, so as not to delay your work." After Lao Hu finished speaking, he walked towards the door.

But just as he was about to step out of the door, he turned around again, walked slowly towards me a few steps, and hesitated, "Mr. Lu, I'...... There's one more question for you,"

"Yes, you ask."

He took two more steps towards me, and the man gradually became more restrained and nervous, and his face was very heavy, as if there was something unspeakable......

"What's wrong? Lao Hu, if you have something to say, just say it, we are already so familiar, don't be too scrupulous. ”

"Forget it," Lao Hu turned and left.

"......" I was momentarily stunned, I didn't know what happened to him, just when he just went out, I suddenly thought of what he might want to say, so I immediately stopped him, "Lao Hu, come back for a while." ”

When he came back to me, I didn't hesitate, I took out my wallet and took out a bank card from it and handed it to him, "Lao Hu, I don't have much cash on me for the time being, if you have financial difficulties, you can get this card as much as you need, it seems that there are more than 200,000 left in it, and the password is——"

"What are you talking about," Lao Hu didn't wait for me to finish, then angrily stuffed the bank card back to me, and said a little excitedly, "We've known each other for so long, do you think I'm doing so much to please you just to borrow money from you in disguise?" Then you're going to chill me! ”

It was the first time I heard that Lao Hu had such a serious attitude, and he had that kind of shock when he got angry, which made me stunned again and again, and I was a little overwhelmed.

"Then what did you want to ask me just now?"

"I-" Lao Hu struggled again before he spoke a little hard, "I just want to ask, have you ever hated your biological father?" ”

It's another question that strikes me abruptly.

I didn't think much of it and said, "No, no hate, no love, just no feeling anyway, because in my dictionary, this is a person who doesn't exist." ”

"What if he knew about your existence and came back to you?" Lao Hu immediately asked rhetorically, staring at my eyes, which was very complicated.

“……”

Without waiting for me to answer, Lao Hu didn't say anything, turned around and left. He walked very fast this time, and disappeared in a few seconds.

I looked at Lao Hu's suddenly disappeared back and was stunned for a while, and then thought about his question just now, and returned to what happened in the past year or so that I have known him, he has also been in prison, he also has a daughter, and he claims to be in the relationship with Han Qiaojuan is his first love, and the photo he once put in his wallet has the words 'Lu Shaopeng' written on the back of the photo...... I didn't dare to think about it anymore, I felt my heart beating fast, my body stiffened, and I had to confirm that fact again and again, and I overturned it again and again, and my brain was about to explode in such a tangle.

However, the thought that I was still pregnant calmed down again, drank some water, and tried to empty my head as much as possible from thinking about the ambiguous worries.

As the joy of pregnancy gradually calmed down, I found that I always fell into an inexplicable depression again, no matter how hard I tried to relax, I still felt gray in the depths of my heart, as if a piece was missing from my heart, and I couldn't be happy from the bottom of my heart...... Especially when I returned home and found the memories left by a man in the corner, it was even more touching.

Every day with He Yu lived in the same bed and pillow, enjoying his careful care as a 'husband', but I can no longer find the feeling I had before, I have no interest in making out with him, even if he takes the initiative, I am just numb to cater to him, he is in my heart, just the father of the child in my belly, other than that, there is no other role.

He came back a little late today, and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower in a drunken state, and only after taking off his clothes did he poke his head out of the bathroom, saying that I asked him to find a pair of his underwear and send it. I never helped him sort out his clothes after he moved in, and I didn't know where he kept each of his clothes, so I rummaged through the closet and found a pair of men's underwear and half-pushed open the bathroom door and handed it to him.

Somehow, he washed inside for half an hour and didn't come out. I sat at the head of the bed, bored and looking through the nursery magazine, feeling a little uneasy. This bed, this quilt, this pillow, I used to share with another man, and now that the bed has changed, even if he has no opinion, I feel that my diaphragm should be ...... Especially when I think of how many crazy and intense ups and downs I had with that man in this bedroom...... It's even more self-contained.

He Yu finally came out of the bathroom, only to see him wrapping the bath towel in his lower and lower body, wiping his hair with a towel, and then walking into the cloakroom, rummaging for something. I looked up, and he found a new pair of panties to put on.

"Didn't I find you a piece just now, it's not suitable?"

He kept his face calm and said lightly, "That's not mine, I just threw it in the trash." ”

There was a bang in my head, and the feeling of being self-conscious instantly spread to the blood all over my body...... Even though I have a lot of resentment towards him, I still feel deeply guilty about him at this moment. Staring at his tired, forbearant side face, that lonely and lonely back, my numb heart softened suddenly, and I took the initiative to approach him, holding his head and pressing it on my chest, "I'm sorry." Please give me time to adjust. ”

He was quickly warmed up by my move, and leaned closer to my soft arms, "Needless to say, I'm sorry, this is what I 'deserve', and I have been reflecting for a long time, when I left you, I was too selfish and cowardly...... No amount of bitterness can be a reason for me to deceive you for so many years...... Yuncan, punish me as much as you want, as long as you can still give me a glimmer of hope, I will do my best. ”

Listening to these words, a warm current surged through my heart, I couldn't help but hold He Yu's face again, regain this handsome face, and my thoughts unconsciously returned to the green years when we fell in love at first sight...... At that time, when I saw his face, I would blush and heartbeat when I heard his voice, my heart was full of him, and he was also in the depths of my dream...... But after many years, I can no longer find this heartbeat.

"Yuncan," he took my hand away from his face and looked at my eyes fixedly, a little deep and a little depressed, "I made the mistake of the year, and I already knew that we would never go back, and my entanglement with you was just a dying struggle...... But now, you have my child in your womb, I have no right to ask you to put your heart on me, but you must promise me to give birth to my child safely, no matter what happens to me in the future, you must protect my flesh and blood and don't let my hope be disappointed, this is my only request to you, can you promise me personally? ”

I heard some bad premonitions from his words, and I couldn't help but hug him again, "I regard this child as more important than life, of course I will let him be born safely, don't say these inexplicable words......"

The next day, He Yu saw that I was not feeling unwell, and he went to the company again as usual. With such a long pregnancy, it is impossible for him to accompany him every day, and after I gradually get used to it, I also plan to go out more, even if I don't go to work, I have to go outside.

I could take advantage of this leisure time to inspect the market in the Yuncan clothing store in the city, so I drove to a newly opened Yuncan men's clothing store in the city center in the morning when I was not stuck in traffic.

The men's clothing business has only been newly deployed in the past two years, because the capital investment in all aspects is relatively large, so the market performance is quite good. I came to the store and chatted with the store manager about the sales situation in the recent quarter, and I saw that this is not a holiday, the source of customers is also good, there are customers to see the clothes one after another, and the men who come alone are trying one and buying, and those who are accompanied by girlfriends or wives have to try a lot of pieces repeatedly, and they may not necessarily buy.

Just as I explained some precautions to the clerk and was about to leave, I turned around and found a familiar figure walking into the store.

It's him!
