Chapter 35: An Unexpected Gift
One day at the end of August, Gu Qing went to the kindergarten to pick up her daughter Jiajia after work.
It's been more than half a year since the divorce, and Gu Qing has to pick up Jiajia alone every day, and she feels a lot tired all of a sudden. In the past, although she also picked up her daughter, but when she was busy and tired, she would call Liu Beitong and ask him to replace it, or often take his side car, but now there is nothing.
However, every time Gu Qing receives Jiajia in front of the kindergarten, a lot of depression will disappear, and her heart will be full of tenderness. As long as she can be with her daughter, she feels that it doesn't matter if she is bitter or tired, and her potential is tapped little by little.
Gu Qing has a daughter who is praised by everyone, with big eyes, small lips, a white and round face, and the hair on both sides of her forehead is a little curly. Gu Qing's mother's hair is also a little curly, and Jiajia accepts more genes from her mother's side, which is somewhat similar to Gu Qing's god.
Jiajia is Gu Qing's pride, she is not only beautiful, but also very smart. When she was still very young, probably less than two years old, Jiajia spoke coherently and knew how to use words. Seeing Gu Qing cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife, she would say that her mother should be careful. When eating Doudou, Gu Qing asked Jiajia how many she had eaten? Jiajia said that she had eaten two, no, she had eaten three......
Now, after Liu Beitong leaves, her daughter is her emotional sustenance.
When Gu Qing arrived at the kindergarten, he was late again.
The little aunt in the kindergarten asked, "Why do you come to pick up the children every day?"
Gu Qing hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll try to pick it up as soon as possible in the future." In fact, she was early enough, and she left the office in a hurry every day after work, and sometimes he left before the end of work, and she was worried about the traffic jam. There seem to be more and more cars in Dancheng, and traffic jams have become a regular thing.
Gu Qing took her daughter's little hand and walked on the way home. The kindergarten is near the rose garden community where she lives, not far from home.
Jiajia remembered the teacher's words and asked her mother, "Where's Dad?"
On the day Liu Beitong left home, he only took two large boxes. He told Jiajia that he was going to work in other places, and he never came back.
"It's going to be a long time before Dad comes back. ”
"Then why didn't he call?
Jiajia's question made Gu Qing speechless, she didn't want her child to be sad, so she lied to her and said, "Dad called, and it was at night." You fell asleep, and your mother didn't call you. ”
Every time Jiajia asked her father, Gu Qing's heart had to be entangled. I don't know how long she can hide her divorce from Jiajia, maybe a year, maybe two years. Jiajia will be 4 years old soon, and she has a very good eye, she will definitely know it early.
The child can't be without a father for too long, and it is best for her to solve the marriage problem within two years, but when she thinks about it, she has no mood or confidence.
When Gu Qing and Jiajia returned to the Rose Garden Community, they saw Luo Zhengping standing at the entrance of the corridor downstairs of her house from a distance, as if he was carrying a cake box in his hand.
Gu Qing wondered, why did he come?
When Luo Zhengping saw Gu Qing and Jiajia coming back, he happily greeted him and lifted the cake box in his hand.
"I remember today was Jiajia's birthday and I bought a birthday cake. ”
Gu Qing was a little surprised, "You, how do you know that Jiajia has a birthday?"
"You don't have to ask. ”
Jiajia knew Luo Zhengping and called him "Uncle Robert". Luo Zhengping squatted down, touched her head and said, "Jiajia, today is your birthday, let's go out to eat together, okay?"
Jiajia was moved, "It's okay!" she looked up at her mother.
Gu Qing was embarrassed. When she got off work in the afternoon, her mother called her and asked her to take Jiajia to Gu Miaoer's house for dinner in the evening to celebrate Jiajia's birthday. What should I do now? She wanted to excuse Luo Zhengping, but when she looked down and saw Jiajia's expectant eyes, she somehow turned into a nod.
There is a McDonald's next to the Rose Garden community. Luo Zhengping hugged Jiajia, Gu Qing followed, and they came to McDonald's together. Luo Zhengping ordered something on the table, and Jiajia ate very happily. Seeing Jiajia happy, Gu Qing's mood improved.
Luo Zhengping told her that he really likes Jiajia, she is beautiful and smart, and asks her not to wronged the child. Gu Qing heard what he said, and instantly had a hallucination-for a moment, they were very much like a family together, and she longed for this kind of life. A corner of her heart is full of warmth and happiness.
After eating McDonald's, Luo Zhengping and Gu Qing took Jiajia for a while in a nearby park, and only went home at 8 o'clock in the evening. Luo Zhengping followed Gu Qing into the door, Gu Qing didn't stop him as usual, she wanted to have a good chat with him tonight.
Gu Qing took Jiajia to wash up, arranged for her to sleep, and returned to the living room. Luo Zhengping watched the World Cup replay absentmindedly.
Gu Qing poured him a cup of tea, sat down on the sofa next to him and said, "Thank you for accompanying us today, Jiajia had a great time." ”
Luo Zhengping said: "I want to thank you! I am usually busy, and I haven't been to the park for a long time. I feel like I'm back to when I was younger today, and I feel like I'm in a relationship. ”
Gu Qing smiled at him, and thin crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes.
Luo Zhengping took a few sips of tea, and then put down the teacup. He rubbed his hands together in a look that had something important to say.
Gu Qing asked, "What do you want to say?"
Luo Zhengping took out a bulging envelope from his handbag and put it on the coffee table. "Gu Qing, I'm going to give you a gift today, you must accept it. ”
"What a gift? so mysterious!"
"Guess. ”
Gu Qing didn't move, and the envelope didn't look like money. She couldn't guess, "What is it?"
"See for yourself. ”
Gu Qing picked up the envelope, opened the seal, and poured it on the coffee table. An electronic key fob and a driving license slid out of the envelope. Her heart pounded fast.
"Car?"
