Today is Yueyue and Xiaoru's seventh birthday, and after this birthday, the school start date will be two months away, and they will be in first grade.

I looked at the cut ingredients on the case, and couldn't help but shake my head slightly, in order to make the children eat better, I actually changed from not knowing anything to becoming a master cook, as long as they love to eat, I will learn. At first, I learned slowly, but then I became faster, and then I was able to cook a table of dishes by myself.

It is only after a woman becomes a mother that her potential is discovered.

I only feel that in the blink of an eye, a year and a half has passed, and they have all grown into big children.

"Mom, what does the cake look like?" Xiao Ru ran to the door of the kitchen, with a sweet voice and a blank look in his eyes, looking at me and asking.

"We'll find out in a minute." I picked up my phone and looked at it and said, "Uncle who delivered the cake is on his way now, and it will be delivered in about an hour." ”

"Oh." She pouted, "You can't show us first." ”

"It's not a surprise after watching it." I smiled, bent down and touched her face and said, "Let's go play for a while, mom will have a little more time before the meal is ready, and there will be a gift later." ”

"I know." Her voice lit up.

Now, watching them grow up is the happiest thing for me, and it is also the thing I feel has achieved the most.

Hua Yuanshu really evaporated from the world, Hua Yuanyan came to see the child, and at the same time brought the news of Qiu Shuling's death. I was shocked and wanted to take my child over to the funeral, but was stopped by Hua Yuanyan, she said, "Abnormal death, don't go to see it." ”

When I asked the others, she smiled wryly and refused to say a word. About a month later, I learned that Qiu Shuling had died of an AA drug overdose. I don't know when she started this addiction. However, now it's all over.

This happened half a year ago, and according to Hua Yuanyan, her brother did not show up at the funeral.

Xiaoru has no feelings for Qiu Shuling, and even hates her, and after Yueyue heard about it, she wiped her tears for a long time. Later, after the funeral, after I learned the cause of Qiu Shuling's death, I took two children to her grave. To be honest, I went to this time just for Yueyue, he still has feelings for Qiu Shuling no matter what he says.

Since that time I saw Hua Yuanyan, the people of the Hua family have completely disappeared from our lives like water poured onto the sand dunes. The kids would ask me where my dad was, and I would just tell them the truth and tell them I didn't know.

The children asked me more than once about the incident between me and Hua Yuanshu, and I didn't know what to say, but later, with the help of Liu Yue, I told them what had happened. I know it's cruel to the kids, but I don't want to make up an excuse to lie to them, or to say in a very prevaricating tone that you understand when you grow up. I remember that after I finished talking that day, Xiao Ru was fine, Yueyue rushed out of the door, locked herself in the room for a long time, and when he came out at dinner, he asked me with red eyes: "Mom, that means you and Dad didn't give birth to us because of love, right?" ”

I looked at him and said very seriously, "But, now Mom loves you very much." ”

"Where's Daddy?" He was silent for a moment, then asked rhetorically.

I couldn't give him an exact answer, so I could only say, "I think it should be love, but now he probably has encountered something and can't get out, so he can't come to see you." ”

Yue Yue is very satisfied with this answer, because no child wants to hear bad words from his mother.

He was depressed for several days, I had a lot of patience with his various performances, and slowly he got back to normal. The psychology of children is easily defeated by some small things, and it is also easy to be moved by the patience from their parents.

"Mom, someone's ringing the doorbell!" Yue Yue ran over and said.

His words interrupted my thoughts, and I smiled and said, "I guess the uncle who delivered the cake has arrived, and I'll open the door." ”

I walked to the door, opened the cat's eye and took a look, and there was a man wearing a hat and holding a big box outside the door, which was for the delivery of cakes. I opened the door, and a somewhat familiar voice came in: "Happy birthday, two children!" ”

With the sound, the face of the person blocked by the box was revealed, and behind him was Shen Mo who was in a wheelchair.

"Uncle Shen is here." Xiao Ru ran over and took the cake from Shen Mo's hand.

"Why are you here?" I asked, "What about the cake?"

Shen Mo smiled and said, "I sent it for him, and he was happy to make one less trip." ”

Just as we were talking, the elevator door on one side opened again, and this time it was an acquaintance who walked down - Liu Yue.

She carried a big gift box in her hand, gave Yueyue a hug and said, "Happy birthday, babies!" ”

Because I have children at home, everything becomes colorful, and life becomes colorful. If it's just me, if I want to gather Shen Mo and Liu Yue into one zhi, I'm afraid it's impossible.

"Ready?" Liu Yue asked as she entered the door.

"It came in time, just right." I said, "I'm learning how to bake my own cake now, so maybe I won't have to order it outside next year." ”

"A good wife and mother by standard." Liu Yue said with a smile.

I should have complimented this sentence, a year and a half ago, I never imagined that I would be labeled with such a label.

The children opened the gifts with smiles on their faces.

Shen Mo sat in a wheelchair to help set the table, and I glanced at him and his movements were very skillful. I didn't have contact with him at the beginning, and then I don't remember who made the call first, but slowly we got in touch, but the relationship has always been like this. We all know that this is the best distance, too close will cause trouble for each other, too far away and a little awkward.

As soon as the meal was served, someone rang the doorbell again, Liu Yue ran to open the door, and said in a loud voice: "Aunt Cheng, Uncle Cheng, you are here!" ”

I hurriedly put down the food in my hand and ran over, and there was Cheng Mo's family of three standing at the door.

Everyone brought gifts to the babies, and the two little ones opened the gifts until they were soft, and laughter rang out one after another. The two of them sat on the carpet by the floor-to-ceiling window, unraveling gifts and playing with toys. A few of us sat on the couch and chatted briefly, waiting for the last soup on the stove to come out.

"Ah Zi, seeing you like this now, I feel relieved suddenly." Guan Yunzhu looked at the two children not far away with a smile on his face, "When I saw you, I thought that Ah Zi and you might have survived together, right?" ”

"Hmm." I answered, "I want to live well and help her live with her." ”

"Okay, don't be so literary, I smell the fragrance of mushroom soup." Cheng Mo patted me on the shoulder and said.

Guan Yunzhu smiled helplessly and said, "Ah Mo said that the soup you have here is the best, and he also said that you will have the opportunity to teach the aunt at home." ”

"Call me if you want to drink it, and I'll make him soup." I walked into the kitchen with a smile.

"Ah Zi, someone knocked on the door again, who else did you invite?" Liu Yue asked me outside. With a soup pot in my hand, I poked my head out of the kitchen and asked, "All the people I invited have arrived, can you see if it's a courier?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Yue walked to the door.

She opened the door and stood there. I put the soup pot on the table and asked, "Who?" ”

"Come and see." She turned back to me.

I looked up and walked over, and then I saw a man in a suit, with a straight figure, handsome features, and a smile in his eyes, but his gaze did not fall on me, but over everyone, and fell on Xiao Ru and Yueyue. He is Hua Yuanshu.

Xiao Ru and Yue Yue followed the voice and looked over, stunned, and then Yue Yue got up from the ground, rushed all the way, threw herself into Hua Yuanshu's arms, and shouted: "Dad, Dad!" ”

The atmosphere at home was very weird, and no one expected Hua Yuanshu to appear at this time. After a year and a half, he seems to be more mature, and there are even fine lines at the corners of his eyes.

Xiao Ru also walked over and saw Hua Yuanshu hesitantly holding my hand.

"Xiaoru, it's Dad." Hua Yuanshu stretched out a hand to her. Xiao Ru was still hesitating, and his body involuntarily took a step back, holding my hand tightly.

I looked at Hua Yuanshu with a confused expression, I didn't expect him to suddenly appear at such a time. He glanced around at the crowd, smiled, and said, "Looks like I'm not welcome everyone, right?" Couldn't it be at the right time? ”

"I welcome Dad to my birthday party." Yue Yue said loudly.

In front of the children, even if there is a conflict between each other, I smiled and said, "It's a little sudden, come in." ”

Hua Yuanshu stood up, still holding Yueyue in his arms. Only then did I realize that there were two large boxes on the ground next to him, a large box.

"What is this?" I asked.

"For the kids." He smiled, and his eyes seemed to be the same as before, but they didn't seem to be the same.

The sudden arrival of Hua Yuanshu surprised everyone, and the laughter in the room disappeared, replaced by unspeakable embarrassment. However, Yueyue was especially happy, he pestered Hua Yuanshu all night, until he blew out the candles and cut the birthday cake, Yueyue looked at the adults around him and said to Hua Yuanshu: "Dad, won't you leave in the future?" I just made a wish, and my wish is that my father will always be with me. ”

"Well, I'm not leaving." Hua Yuanshu replied calmly and forcefully, and after finishing speaking, he also looked at our circle of adults.

"Tonight, will Dad stay with me?" Yue Yue asked again.

As soon as this question came out, not only Hua Yuanshu looked at me seriously, but also Shen Mo and Cheng Mo's eyes were cast.

I didn't speak, I wanted to hear what Hua Yuanshu had to say.

"I'm afraid it won't work today, Dad still has something to do in a minute, but Dad will stay in this city in the future." Hua Yuanshu smiled and touched his head and said.

Getting this answer was obviously not what Yueyue wanted, he had an unhappy expression on his face, and was just about to say something more, Hua Yuanshu spoke again: "If there is a chance in the future, let's live together again, okay?" How about Dad making sure to visit you at least once a week? ”

"Hmm." Yue Yue replied in a muffled voice.

After cutting the cake, everyone ate a piece of cake and ate it with a ghostly heart.

Hua Yuanshu is back now, and he looks determined again, and everyone is guessing that he is probably not a good person. Everyone here, one counts as one, and he has bothered to bring down Fahrenheit, and he knows it. This time, he disappeared for two years and suddenly appeared in the imperial capital, so he must have been prepared.

I sent everyone away, there were not so many people standing in the elevator at one time, Hua Yuanshu took the initiative to take a step back and said, "I'll wait a while." ”

The elevator door slowly closed, and he and I were still standing outside the elevator, and neither of us spoke.

Without children as a mediator in the middle, we don't have a word to talk about.

"Thank you for taking good care of them." Hua Yuanshu opened his mouth first.

"You're welcome, my child, I'll naturally take good care of it." I looked him in the eye and said.

"Hmm." He answered. There was silence again, and he asked, "Don't you have anything to ask me?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be." I smiled, "There hasn't been any news for nearly two years, and your return doesn't seem like a good thing to me." Moreover, you should be ready to take the opportunity of your child's birthday to see everyone. ”

"yes, I'll come back and get back what belongs to me." Hua Yuanshu smiled and said, "I made a decision on the day I left, either die outside or come back to turn the tables, and now I have the ability to turn the tables." ”

"Congratulations!" I say.

He smiled, and the elevator came. He walked into the elevator and said to me, "Actually, you don't have to be nervous, even if I come back, it will be harmless to you." You are the mother of the child, one day, all the life, I will never move you. Others ask for their own blessings! ”

As soon as the words fell, the elevator doors closed.

When I got home, Yueyue was standing at the door of her room and looking at me, and when she saw that he hadn't slept, she startled me, and slowly walked over and squatted beside him and asked, "What's wrong?" Why not sleep? ”

"Mom, you don't like Dad, do you?" He asked me with wide eyes.

"It's not that I don't like it, I just don't like it that much." I said slowly, "However, I will not stop you from meeting and communicating with Dad, I hope you and him have a good relationship." ”

"Doing what you say?" He looked incredulous.

"Walk the talk!" I held out my little finger and said to him, "Do you want to pull the hook?" ”

He hooked me earnestly before going to sleep satisfied.

We think that children don't know anything, but they are the ones who see things most clearly, and they need your affirmative answer, and they also want mom and dad to be together, love each other, and love them. And I, I can't fall in love with Hua Yuanshu, so I can only retreat and love them with Hua Yuanshu.

The children fell asleep, and I went back to my room, and there were four missed calls on the phone, and I opened it to see that it was Cheng Mo calling. I thought about it for a moment and called him back.

He didn't sleep, he answered the phone after ringing three times, and said to me, "Hua Yuanshu just left?" ”

"No, three minutes later than you." I say.

"Ah Zi, although Hua Yuanshu appeared suddenly, he must have been prepared, and the next few days will not be so simple. I thought it would take him seven or eight years to make a comeback, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, I underestimated him, you pay more attention to yourself. Cheng Mo said.

His concern for me was not adulterated, and I was moved in my heart, and after thinking about it, I said to him: "He said that he will come back when he is ready, and in this form he informs us that he is back, and he can be regarded as a gentleman, and I am afraid that the competition in the future will be clear." ”

"I know." Cheng Mo said, "You take care of yourself, it's best to cash out the assets in your hand, exchange them for US dollars and save them, and leave a way back." ”

"I know, thank you." I say.

"Let's do it first, I've already asked someone to check Hua Yuanshu, and there is news to inform you." Cheng Mo woke up, and then hung up the phone.

I thought about it for a while, and was about to call Shen Mo, but when I picked up the phone, he dialed the phone and said the same thing as Cheng Mo. I know that the appearance of Huayuan tree makes everyone a little flustered. However, he could not never show up, sooner or later there would be such a day.

As soon as the news of Huayuanshu to the imperial capital spread, the next step was a big move, the company was re-established, still called Hua'sheit, and it was still engaged in mining, but as soon as it was sold, it was several large mines in China, and he was a shareholder.
