Her vulnerability is because of me, and her strength is because of me.
"Qingqing, this matter has a lot to do with you, so Mom and Dad want to hear your opinion." Daddy Tao echoed.
Hearing this, Tao Qing immediately understood what was going on. She remembers this scene vividly. Because this day was a historic moment in her life. After that day, her life changed dramatically.
"Hmm. Mom, Dad, if there's anything, you can just say it. Tao Qing said calmly that she knew what her mother said.
Mom took Tao Qing's hand and said embarrassedly, "I'm pregnant." You may have a younger brother or sister. ”
"It's my brother." Tao Qing said with certainty.
"How do you know?" Tao's mother said in surprise. She only learned today that she was pregnant, and the sex of the child was unknown. In fact, there is no difference between boys and girls. They still have a big decision to make. It's a big deal for their family.
Tao Qing said indifferently: "I guess." Gut feeling. After all, this child and I are inextricably related by blood. This point of induction is still there. ”
"I thought you really knew, it looked like it was true." Tao's mother said wistfully.
Tao Qing held Tao's mother's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Mom, give birth to him." ”
Mother Tao breathed a long sigh of relief and said hesitantly, "How can it be so easy?" Do you know what it means to have a baby? Raising a child is not that simple. ”
"Yes. Raising you, your mother and I feel like we're going to have half a life. Dad Tao said objectively. The two of them worked hard and worked hard to raise Tao Qing. Seeing that in a few years, Tao Qing will grow up. They thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, there was a second child. They also want to raise it, but they really don't have enough power. Now their physical condition and mentality are not comparable to those of their youth. So they hesitated.
"Yes, prices are so high and wages are so low now. Everything is expensive, and it costs money every day. Raising a child doesn't just cost money, it also consumes energy. But is it true that our family can't eat because of another child? Mom and Dad, I know you've been saving money all these years. Now it's time to spend it. It is expected that the money will be put in the bank and waiting for depreciation, so it is better to take it out and make a long-term investment. What do you say? Tao Qing has unique insights and clear thinking.
"That's a dowry for you." Dad Tao hurriedly said. Life is a difficult journey. Dad Tao hopes that Tao Qing can live a better life. At least better off than they are now.
"Since it's left to me, I'll decide how to spend the money. I want my brother. Tao Qing said firmly.
"After having this child, Mom and Dad's love for you will be halved or even more." Tao's mother reminded. After the birth of the second child, in the next few years, the energy of the couple will mainly focus on the second child. And Tao Qing is in the most critical period of his life.
Tao Qing comforted: "I'm fifteen years old, not a child. I can take care of myself. My brother is still young, and it is inevitable that you should focus on your younger brother. I can understand. ”
Tao's mother was silent for a while and said, "Your father and I still need to think again. ”
Tao Qing nodded and said, "Then I'll go back and rest first." Walking to the door of the bedroom, Tao Qing turned around and said to Tao's mother with a smile: "Mom, don't put too much pressure on yourself." You are now three months pregnant, so take care of your rest. ”
Mother Tao was slightly stunned and said, "Well, you go to bed early." ”
Tao Qing looked at his parents in the living room and slowly closed the door. Once, when she heard her mother tell her about this big event, her first feeling was that she was abandoned. The life that had been quiet for fifteen years suddenly changed. She wasn't the only one anymore. At first, she was a staunch supporter of her parents' decision. Later, when she saw her parents hesitating and worried about this matter, she realized that her parents actually wanted this child. It's just that reality makes them very powerless.
Tao Qing, who had never shared anything with his parents since he was a child, suddenly realized his responsibility. She gave up her existing power and welfare, and tried her best to persuade her wavering parents to have a second child.
When her younger brother was born, Tao Qing instantly felt that persuading her parents to give birth to her younger brother was the most correct decision she had made in her life so far.
Tao Qing's appearance combines the characteristics of his parents, but he doesn't look much like his parents. And the younger brother is the same, but he is somewhat similar to Tao Qingchang. The two looked like a family when they stood together.
Since then, Tao Qing has had a loyal fan. Tao Qing's attitude towards his younger brother was good and bad. Sometimes when I am annoyed by my younger brother, I will yell at my younger brother a few words, and I want to fight angrily, but I can't do it. My younger brother has always been very good to Tao Qing, and as soon as he can speak, he puts the word sister on his lips every day.
The younger brother's name was still given by Tao Qing, called Tao Lin.
"Tao Qing, why does this kid talk like an adult? And you told her I was three months pregnant? Tao's mother asked suspiciously. Up to now, the only people who knew that she was pregnant were the doctors in the hospital, Tao Qing's father, Tao Qing and herself.
"I didn't say that." Dad Tao hurriedly clarified.
"So how did she know? It's weird! Tao's mother said puzzled.
Father Tao sighed and said ashamedly, "Alas! The two of us are not as determined as a child. "It only takes a split second to make a decision, and they don't even have the courage for that moment.
"You want this child?" Liu's mother asked in surprise.
"Don't you want it?" Father Tao asked rhetorically. The answer is self-explanatory.
Tao's mother said honestly: "I think emotionally, but I don't want ideally." Now the two of them are engaged in a fierce battle, evenly matched, and the winner is indistinguishable. "Now they have lost the momentum of their youth, and they are still unable to make a decision when they do things.
"Give birth. Our conditions are much better now than when we were when we were born. The mortgage was paid off and there was a deposit. We also work steadily. No matter how bad the days are, they won't get any worse.
Tao's mother said slowly: "Okay, give birth to him." I can't bear it. ”
Tao Qing sat at the desk, sitting upright, his eyes kept looking at the books on the table, diligent and studious. When I got closer, I saw that there was a mobile phone in the open textbook. Tao Qing couldn't wait to tell Liu Jingjing the good news that he was about to have a younger brother. She quickly waved her finger and edited a message and sent it to Liu Jingjing. "My mom is pregnant, and I'm going to have a younger brother. After fifteen years as an only child, suddenly it wasn't. ”
"My uncle and aunt are so fashionable and follow the trends of the times. How are you feeling right now? Liu Jingjing replied, testing Tao Qing's attitude.
"Joy blossoms." Tao Qing said happily. Also, there will be a hard-working little slave in the future, and of course she will be happy.
"That's clatter."
"Thank you."
The two chatted for a while, and then ended the conversation. There is too much homework to be left unscrupulous.
A week later, Liu Jingjing really moved to the dormitory. Tao Qing said jokingly: "I really moved to the dormitory!" Actionist. Are you really willing to give up your cozy nest and the delicious meals cooked by your aunt? ”
"I'm really willing to do that. It's just that my mother is reluctant. I talked to her for a long time before she agreed. Sent me here today, and when I went back, I cried. I was a little overwhelmed. Liu Jingjing said lightly.
Tao Qing imagined the picture depicted by Liu Jingjing and couldn't help but smile. "Auntie, that's love for you."
"I'm my mom too. It's just that she suddenly cried and caught me off guard. My mom has always been a very strict, very strong person, and I rarely see her crying. I've never seen her so vulnerable. I'm just living on campus. It's not like I'm going to study in a foreign country. Liu Jingjing said worriedly. Seeing her mother crying suddenly, Liu Jingjing was stunned. But the feeling at that moment was different. She suddenly felt that she could be a parent to rely on.
"Everyone has a vulnerable side, and you are the reason why Auntie is vulnerable."
"Yes. Her vulnerability is because of me, and her strength is because of me. She gave a lot for me. Liu Jingjing said with a sigh. So her love for her mother is a must. As she has grown older, she is now less dependent on her parents, and the strong feeling that the sky fell apart when she was a child was gone. She forgot that feeling, but kept her responsibility firmly in her heart.
The two walked and talked, and gradually walked to the classroom. It is inevitable that the school building will be empty at noon. They walked up the last staircase to the hallway, and saw a middle-aged man in plain clothes standing at the door of the classroom with a large cloth bag, looking cautiously into the classroom. The bag looked a little old, but it was clean and tidy. It should be the parent of a classmate.
The two of them quickened their pace, walked over and said enthusiastically, "Auntie, who are you looking for?" ”
"I'm looking for Zheng Yang, do you know where he went?" looked at the two of them shyly, with a faint wound in his eyes. Seeing other people's children dressed brightly, Zheng Yang's mother felt sorry for Zheng Yang and made Zheng Yang suffer too much.
"Oh, you're Zheng Yang's mother. Zheng Yang may have gone to lunch and hasn't come back yet. Why don't you come in and sit down? Tao Qing said with a smile. The lady in front of her took a closer look, but she was a little similar to Zheng Yang. Tao Qing treated Zheng Yang's mother with pity and admiration. Fate has too much injustice to her, she still sticks to her kindness and love of life, she does not give up on herself, she does not feel sorry for herself, she lives hard, and educates Zheng Yang so well.
"Auntie, Zheng Yang sat in that position. I'll take you there, he'll be here in a moment. Zheng Yang is the best student in our class. Ranked at the top of every exam. Liu Jingjing enthusiastically reached out to help Zheng Yang's mother get the bag.
Zheng Yang's mother stubbornly refused. "There are a lot of things in the bag, and it's quite heavy. I'll take it myself. Thank you, little girl. ”
Liu Jingjing silently withdrew her hand and said casually: "You're welcome." ”
After arranging Zheng Yang's mother to sit down, Liu Jingjing hurriedly ran to her seat again, took out a bottle of drink from the table hole that her mother had sent her to buy in the morning, and hurriedly sent it to Zheng Yang's mother.
When I was walking, I was in too much of a hurry, and I accidentally tripped over the table leg and almost fell. Fortunately, Tao Qing reached out in time to grab her.
"Be careful, why are you so excited?" Tao Qing said jokingly, smiling ambiguously.
Liu Jingjing didn't have time to pay attention to Tao Qing's joke, strode to Zheng Yang's seat, and said a little nervously: "Auntie, you drink saliva and rest." Zheng Yang should come over in a while. He usually does problems in the classroom at noon. ”
"No, no, I'm not thirsty, you can drink it yourself." Zheng Yang's mother hurriedly refused.
"Auntie, you can take it. I bought too much and couldn't finish it myself. Liu Jingjing stuffed the drink into Zheng Yang's mother's hand, and then turned around and quickly returned to her seat.
Zheng Yang's mother was so enthusiastic that she had to take the bottle of drink. It seems that Zheng Yang and his classmates get along well. Zheng Yang's mother was a little happy when she saw this. Zheng Yang doesn't usually talk much. She has always been worried that Zheng Yang will have difficulty communicating with people and will not be able to make friends.
"I didn't see you so enthusiastic when other students' parents came here before. It's like seeing your own mother. Tao Qing said jokingly.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just helpful. Aren't you also quite enthusiastic? Liu Jingjing hurriedly explained.
Tao Qing smiled and said softly, "Yes, yes." We are all helpful and we are good teenagers in the new era. ”
While they were talking, Zheng Yang hurriedly walked through the corridor, and Wang Pengfei also followed closely behind Zheng Yang. When Zheng Yang's mother came over just now, Wang Pengfei went out to find Zheng Yang.
Zheng Yang strode up to his mother and said in surprise, "Mom, why are you here?" You told me earlier, I'll pick you up at the school gate. ”
"You've never been going back. It's getting cold, and I'm afraid you'll freeze. I'll send you some thick clothes. Zheng Yang's mother explained.
"I was going to go back this weekend. I should have told you earlier. Let you run. Mom, have you eaten? There is still rice in the cafeteria, so I'll take you to eat a bowl of noodles. Zheng Yang said with concern. All the people who sold this order have already been collected. The small window for selling specialty foods has not yet been closed.
"I ate it before I came. Where you live, I'll send you back. I'll have to rush back in a moment. Zheng Yang's mother looked at Zheng Yang lovingly. This kid is sensible and distressing.
"The dormitory is right next to the school building." Zheng Yang pointed in the direction of the dormitory building and said.
"Let's go, I'll send you to the dormitory." Zheng Yang's mother said with a cloth bag.
Zheng Yang reached out and took the cloth bag from his mother's hand and said, "I'll take it." ”
Tao Qing looked at Zheng Yang and Zheng Yang's mother and sighed: "What a warm and loving mother and son, mother and son are filial piety." Zheng Yang is quite filial. Excellent people, really excellent in every way. ”
