Chapter 66: A Family
"Xiaoxin will listen to Pingzi in the future."
Wan Yanping tilted her head, tears still rolling in her eyes unconsciously. It's really uncompromising! After being reborn, how can I have red eyes at every turn.
"Don't cry!" Xiao Xin rubbed the soft and smooth short hair on the top of her head.
Wan Yanping bit her lip and nodded heavily. She took her schoolbag and said, "I'm going to pick up Xiaoliang and go home, you don't have to send me, it's not dark today." ”
"Xiaoxin also wants to pick up Xiaoliang."
Wan Yanping sighed, I said just now that I will listen to me in the future, alas, I know that you are not so easy to coax. As she walked, she asked, "Does that bag on your head still hurt?" ”
"Xiaoxin is not afraid of pain."
Wan Yanping smiled and asked, "I'm not afraid of pain, I'm not afraid of the dark, and I'm not afraid of cold, so what are you afraid of?" ”
"I'm afraid Pingzi will be sad!"
“……”
Fool, I'm even sadder if you're like this.
"If someone bullies you again in the future, you will beat him, and this is called legitimate defense. In case, if you can't beat it, you run, run faster. ”
After he looked at Yan Ping, he patted his strong chest with one hand and assured her, "Well, Xiaoxin remembers!"
Wan Yanping looked up at him and pursed her lips and smiled.
On Saturday morning, Wan Yanping hesitated, but decided to take Xiaoliang to Zheng's house together. In this way, just like visiting relatives, the relationship can be a little more harmonious, and she herself will not be too embarrassed.
Moreover, last time I went to Zheng's house with Xiaoliang, and we also had dinner at Zheng's house together. I don't know why, I always feel that the Zheng family has a human touch and a family atmosphere.
Sure enough, when Bai Lan and Xiaoxin saw the sisters of the Yan family, they were surprised and delighted.
After Yan Ping handed the things in her hand to Xiao Xin, Bai Lan scolded her with a smile, "You are a student, don't spend money on things, just come." ”
"It's just a few comic books, not expensive."
Xiaoxin took the book and Xiaoliang immediately went to dismantle the book.
Bai Lan put the scarf she was knitting on the sofa next to her, took Yan Ping's hand, and asked her to sit on the sofa.
She was genuinely happy that this kid was really sensible. She came here once and knew that Xiaoxin liked to read comics, so she remembered it, which means that she still has their Xiaoxin in her heart.
Bai Lan said slowly, "I'll eat at home today." Your Uncle Zheng only comes back once a week in the mine, and there are almost just me and Xiaoxin at home, and we are in a panic. I'm really happy that you can come, I will come often in the future, and the family is also a little popular, I like that there are many children in the house, and it is lively. ”
Wan Yanping didn't shirk either, "Well, that's troublesome Aunt Bai." ”
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all, I like it too late."
Bai Lan poured a cup of hot water for Yan Ping and brought it over, saying that her hands were too cold. took candy and fruit and put them on the coffee table for Xiaoliang. She sat next to Yan Ping, the two chatted for a while, Bai Lan saw that the time was already eleven o'clock, so she said to Wan Yan Ping, let her sit and play with the two children, she went to prepare lunch.
Wan Yanping stood up and said to her, "I'll help you!" ”
Bai Lan looked at her and said with a smile, "It's okay, talk to me." ”
She likes girls in her heart, and it would be nice if she had a daughter herself! If she could have given birth at the beginning, maybe she would have chosen to have two more children, a son and a daughter. The daughter chatted with her as a little padded jacket, and the son was the pillar of the family. Xiaoxin will also have multiple siblings to help out.
But everything can obviously only be utopian.
Bai Lan walked to the kitchen and asked happily, "How about we eat dumplings at noon?" ”
"yes, okay."
"What kind of stuffing do you and Xiaoliang like to eat?"
"I can do it, and she's not a picky eater." Wan Yanping said next to Bai Lan.
"What about the pork and green onions?"
"Hmm."
Bai Lan said while busy, "Pingzi, don't be too polite to me, just treat this place as if it were your own home, when we are a family." ”
Wan Yanping just smiled and didn't speak.
All the work in the kitchen was no stranger to her, Bai Lan took out the vegetables for her to pick, and began to chop vegetables, chop meat, and noodles by herself.
In the living room, Xiaoxin and Xiaoliang were flipping through the comics and reading them to her. Wan Yanping looked at the two people in the living room and asked, "Xiaoxin, do you know all the words?" ”
Bai Lan also looked outside and said with a smile, "Yes, there is no problem with reading books and newspapers, he also reads the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin, I don't understand it very well." ”
Everything is so harmonious. Bai Lan said that there are usually two people in the family, and it is deserted, and it has not been so lively for a long time, and it has been a long time since I have eaten dumplings.
She said slowly, usually after breakfast in the morning, Xiaoxin will accompany her out for a walk, just wander around the nearby fields, Xiaoxin loves to be quiet, he doesn't like to go to crowded places, he is noisy.
After sneaking back, he reads comic books by himself, or watches TV, and the mother and son are at home, and they really don't have anything to say at the end of the day.
Zheng Yuan is going to be there, that's good, he will accompany Xiaoxin to play chess, chess, backgammon, black and white chess, all kinds of chess Xiaoxin will be fine, Zheng Yuan often loses.
Bai Lan said that Xiaoxin had a smile on her face and her eyes were full of pride.
Before Xiaoxin was ten years old, when everything was normal, he was precocious and smart than children of the same age. At that time, Bai Lan was also working in the public house, and Xiaoxin stayed at home alone after returning from school. I can do my homework, cook by myself, and take good care of myself, so I don't have to worry about Bai Lan at all.
Xiaoxin's fever was because he was already uncomfortable at school, but he didn't say anything, waiting for Bai Lan to come back from work. But it was raining heavily that day, and Bai Lan worked overtime again, and it was already eleven o'clock at night when she got home.
When she found out that Xiaoxin had a high fever, it was raining heavily. She had no choice but to run out by herself and find an old doctor from the nearest private clinic to come to her home.
The old doctor prescribed medicine to Xiaoxin and gave him a fever-reducing injection. The next day, Bai Lan took Xiaoxin to the hospital again, and the hospital also reissued medicine and injections. After a week of back-and-forth, Xiaoxin's fever completely subsided, but Bailan discovered Xiaoxin's abnormality.
Later, when I went to the hospital, I learned that something had happened. Bai Lan quit her job at that time, and Zheng Yuan took Xiaoxin around to seek medical treatment, and that year, they spent all their savings and failed to cure Xiaoxin.
The doctor said he had severe meningitis and that's it for the rest of his life.
When Xiaoxin had an accident, Bai Lan and Zheng Yuan didn't have time to be miserable and sad, and ran to all the big cities with their children, but whenever there was a little hope, they didn't give up easily.
A month, two months, a year, two years, Bai Lan was so sad that she couldn't live anymore, she felt that her sky had fallen. Hope was eroded year after year, and finally turned into a fantasy, and now I don't want to think about it.
Bai Lan said that no matter what, life must go on, people must look forward, and life can be better.
Wan Yanping looked at her, and now she is talking about the past, revealing the scars in her heart again, it may hurt and hurt, it will be sad and sad, but there is no longer the hysteria of that time, replaced by calmness.
In her forties, she didn't have much luxury. The green silk on her temples can be seen, and the years have left faint marks on her face, but she is not at all vicissitudes.
"Aunt Bailan."
"Hmm!"
"Although I am not a mother, I understand the self-blame and pain you once had."
Wan Yanping and Bai Lan sat at the table face to face, Bai Lan was rolling the dumpling skin, and Wan Yanping placed the wrapped dumplings in her hand neatly on the plate.
Bai Lan looked up at her, and the purity and sincerity in the child's eyes made her suddenly shake her heart.
Yes, she is only nineteen years old, and without her mother, her sisters depend on each other. It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother, Xiaoliang was abused by her stepmother like that, what she is experiencing is not what she has experienced?
"Really!"
Wan Yanping saw that Bai Lan was staring at her and was a little lost, she put down the wrapped dumplings in her hand, and at this moment she decided to confess to Bai Lan. He said to Bai Lan, "I have not thought about myself for a moment, and I have been, and I am. The purpose of going to school is to take the university entrance examination, and the entrance examination to the university is to leave the Wanyan family, and only in this way can she be taken to a big hospital outside for treatment. She was still young, only ten years old, and the doctor said she could be cured. ”
Bai Lan's heart suddenly had an indescribable taste, mixed tastes.
