Sha Kai felt that Zhou Wenli's room had changed. It's not that he threw away the old furniture and bought new furniture, or that he painted the walls, pasted wallpaper, or changed the window grilles, or that the bits and pieces of daily necessities in the room haven't changed, but he still feels that something is not right.

Shakai subconsciously felt that there was an extra person in the house, and that person was his aunt who had just died. The time of the change should have been after returning from my uncle's house that day.

My aunt probably came back with him.

Shakai was a little depressed, and there was a sense of annoyance.

He thought that Zhou Wenli, who was a mother, would never forget her son and had deep feelings. Just like in those TV dramas, after the loss of a child, the mother will sneak to see the child, and may hide in a corner, covering her mouth and whimpering quietly.

Of course, such a dramatic scene, he imagined it when he was a teenager. When he was a child, he listened to his father's relatives criticize Zhou Wenli, and he didn't have a good impression of Zhou Wenli; When he grew up, he felt that the kind of short bitter love drama in the parents was too meaty and disgusting, and he couldn't wait for the domestic TV series to be in line with international standards in one second, and all changed to British black humor, American thrilling horror, and Japanese-style special effects, and his thoughts about his mother Zhou Wenli were also faded. However, when he heard the news of Zhou Wenli from his father, contacted Zhou Wenli for the first time, and moved to live in this house, he was a little delicate. He was nervous, uneasy, and faintly happy.

After all, it's a good thing that his biological mother still has feelings for him compared to complete ignorance, right?

He lacked a mother's love in childhood and adolescence, and when he became an adult, it was good to be able to make up for it.

Uncle Zhou Wenjun's words broke this false maternal love.

Zhou Wenli never contacted his father and never looked for him. It was Zhou Wenjun who was reminded by his wife Ding Yue, an out-and-out "outsider", that he thought of contacting his father and caring about his nephew.

He was really missed by a stranger of good nature, not by his relatives.

My aunt is full of kindness, and even if she dies, she doesn't worry about it, so he can't be evil to her.

Shakai put down the water glass irritably, and said to the empty living room, "Auntie, you better rest in peace early." Otherwise, let's go see my little cousin and uncle. That's it for me and my mom. It used to be like this, and now it's good. ”

Speaking of this, he took a deep breath, "I will also give her a pension in the future." She is my mother after all, and I will fulfill my obligation to support. ”

Shakai still hasn't said a word.

There is a difference between intimacy and intimacy.

Zhou Wenli did not fulfill his obligation to support him when he was a minor, and if he supports Zhou Wenli in the future, it is also an obligation, and it is impossible to honor Zhou Wenli like he honors his father.

Sha Kai got along with Zhou Wenli during this time, and he also saw it. Zhou Wenli doesn't have any bad intentions, but she lacks her eyes. The brother-in-law and younger brother were nosy and pulled her son into her life, and she was just at a loss to take care of the strange son, thinking about how to get along with the strange adult son, and had no time to think about anything else. If Sha Kai is willing to speak, Zhou Wenli will probably be able to be a good mother. But Shakai is in his twenties, and he has long passed the age of seeking mother's love, so he will not open his mouth to Zhou Wenli.

"That's it for the two of us. You don't have to worry anymore. Shakai said again, his tone changing from irritation to helplessness.

After he finished speaking, he waited quietly for a while, but he didn't see the figure of the female ghost in white, and he didn't see any changes in the room, so he pulled the corners of his mouth and went back to his room.

The leisure time of the weekend, because of this incident, Shakai is a little absent-minded about playing games.

He was the only one in the room. Zhou Wenli has been going to the reading room on the third floor of the community activity center on weekends these weeks to borrow books to learn about children's education. She sometimes borrows out books and takes them home to continue reading. Shakai had seen the books she was reading a few times, all with different but similar titles. Sha Kai estimated that after Zhou Wenli took care of the neighbor with the fracture, she remembered Zhou Nuan again and wanted to help Zhou Wenjun take care of Zhou Nuan more.

If they hadn't divorced, Zhou Wenli would have taken her own ...... since she was a child The thought flashed through Shakai's mind, and he was cut off by himself.

He rolled over, changed positions, and started a new round of the mobile game.

In the heat of the battle, Shakai heard the sound of the key opening outside.

Zhou Wenli studies seriously, but there is a lunch break in the reading room, and she also needs to eat, and at this time she will go home to cook, and also cook for Shakai.

Shakai heard the familiar sound of changing shoes, the soft sound of keys and bags being placed on the shelves in the entryway, followed by footsteps.

One footstep, two footsteps......

Shakai's fingers flickered, the character stopped moving, and was immediately slashed by the opponent.

Shakai didn't care about this, pricked up his ears, and listened intently to the movement outside the door.

Indeed, there were two footsteps.

A footstep was very ordinary, it was Zhou Wenli's footsteps.

The other voice was heavy, but fast-paced, like ...... It was as if someone was bouncing on the ground and followed Zhou Wenli all the way in.

Shakai's brow furrowed.

Could it be that Zhou Nuan is here?

Or did Zhou Wenli bring back whose children?

He remembered that the neighbor who had broken the bone had a small child. How old is the child......

Shakai put down his phone, jumped out of bed, walked to the door of the room in three or two steps, and pulled the door open.

He did it all in one go, but when he opened the door, he noticed that the footsteps were gone.

Sha Kai saw Zhou Wenli standing at the door of the kitchen.

Zhou Wenli looked back in surprise, "Akai." I was getting ready to make lunch and it was going to be there soon. If you're hungry, you can eat some fruit first. I bought bananas yesterday ......"

Zhou Wenli's tone was very ordinary.

Shakai glanced around, but there was no child in sight.

Did he hear it wrong?

Sha Kai looked at Zhou Wenli again, "You came back alone?" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Wenli was stunned, and there was a moment of unnaturalness on her face.

Sha Kai immediately noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Wenli. Zhou Wenli really can't lie.

"Who else is coming? You're still hiding people? Shakai was a little speechless, "Is it the neighbor's child from last time?" Are you still taking care of her? ”

"Nope. I just sometimes cook some food for her. After a hundred days of broken muscles and bones, she still has to take care of herself......" Zhou Wenli hurriedly said.

"If you cook for her, cook for her, don't hide it. What are you doing sneaky? Shakai sighed.

Zhou Wenli agreed sneeringly and explained awkwardly: "I am ...... Even I know that I may be doing too much......"

This is not Zhou Wenli's own discovery, it is the last time she delivered food to Xiao Fang's family, Xiao Fang's family came to visit the patient, and when several people chatted, their voices were a little loud, and she was heard outside the door.

Zhou Wenli, a neighbor, is indeed very attentive, and some relatives and friends of Xiao Fang who are so attentive wonder if Xiao Fang fell downstairs that day if Zhou Wenli was making trouble. After all, Xiao Fang herself said that she was the only one on the stairs with Zhou Wenli at that time, and she was really "kicked" again.

Of course, Xiao Fang didn't suspect Zhou Wenli. She was kicked in the front, and Zhou Wenli was standing behind her. No matter how long Zhou Wenli's legs are, it is impossible to bypass her and kick her in the stomach. It's just that others don't know so many details, and there are always some people who blurt out some words.

"What about the kids? Let the children stop hiding and eat together at noon. Shakai continued.

Zhou Wenli was stunned.

After Shakai finished speaking, he prepared to turn around and go back to his room.

Zhou Wenli subconsciously stopped Sha Kai, but after meeting Sha Kai's puzzled gaze, she opened her mouth, "You say...... The kid you're talking about ......"

"Isn't that the neighbor's kid?"

"Xiao Fang's sons have all worked......"

Shakai was silent for two seconds, "You're helping other neighbors with their children?" Bringing kids on winter vacation? ”

He only thought of this possibility, and then self-righteously understood Zhou Wenli's abnormality during this time.

Shakai sighed silently in his heart, and a sense of irritability rose.

He swallowed all the questions and sarcasm that came to his lips, and said with difficulty, "Okay...... I don't care, you don't have to care about me, and you don't have to hide it from me. ”

With that, Shakai entered the room and closed the door.

Zhou Wenli raised her hand, as if she wanted to hold Sha Kai, but she didn't take a step.

She lowered her hand in some frustration and lowered her head.

As soon as her eyes fell, Zhou Wenli saw the little boy who appeared beside her at some point.

The little boy took her hand, looked up at his little face, and smiled brightly at her.

A child's innocent smile can always easily hit people's hearts.

Zhou Wenli suddenly felt that her heart was so soft.

She touched the boy's head and whispered, "I'm going to cook." ”

The little boy nodded happily and let go of the hand holding Zhou Wenli.

He watched Zhou Wenli enter the kitchen, his head turned a strange one hundred and eighty degrees, and looked at Shakai's closed door.

Shakai nestled in bed and picked up his phone again.

The dead character doesn't have to be resurrected, the game is over, and he has received a notification from the system that he has been reported to be idle .

Shakai could imagine how his teammates scolded him.

Shakai was too lazy to start a new round and quit the game directly.

Syllable!

The sound of things landing on the ground startled Shakai.

He propped up his upper body and looked at the source of the sound.

The mouse on the table landed on the ground, dripping and spinning.

Shakai was stunned for a while, and waited until the mouse stopped spinning before getting out of bed and picking it up.

Mouse...... How did it fall to the ground?

Shakai checked the mouse and put it back on the mouse pad next to the computer.

He used to use a mouse pad, and the mouse was placed on the mat, far away from the table, so it should be impossible to fall.

Shakai stared at the mouse for a moment.

Syllable!

Shakai was startled again, and hurriedly turned his head, only to see the window being opened, and a cold wind poured into the room.

The sound was the sound of the window being forcefully pulled open.

Shakai's heart pounded, and his body shuddered.

This can't be an accident.

It could only be that someone opened the window.

But he was the only one in the room......

"Auntie?" Shakai asked cautiously, "You...... Are you angry? ”

Shakai thought back to what had just happened, and asked tentatively, "Is it because of what I said to my mother?" The tone of voice? ”

He thought it could only be the reason.

But thinking of this, he was a little helpless.

Shakai closed the window back and sat down on the bed.

"Auntie, my mom and I are really like that. Look at her, she would rather take care of the neighbor's children and help others take care of the children, but she is too lazy to ...... I'll forget it. She hasn't taken care of me since I was a child. What about the little cousin? If she wants to do that, she might as well take care of her little cousin more. The little cousin has a father and grandparents, but for girls, it would be better to have a younger female elder with them, right? ”

Shakai remembered his colleague.

He has no experience in educating children, and he doesn't know how to take a little girl, but he heard a senior colleague mention one thing in the company: his colleague's wife was on a business trip, and he gave the little girl a whip, which made the little girl cry, and finally let the little girl send her head to school, blushing and blushing to trouble the female teacher to help tie her hair.

It's funny to hear others talk about this kind of trouble, but it must be very embarrassing to replace the person concerned with yourself. The little girl must have been very aggrieved and pitiful.

Sha Kai also wanted to persuade his aunt to stop staring at the affairs of him and Zhou Wenli, and to care more about Zhou Nuan, don't be like Zhou Wenli, throw aside your own affairs, and be busy with the affairs of outsiders.

Shakai waited for a while, his eyes glancing around, hoping to see his aunt give up, but he was still the only one in the room.

Shakai had no choice but to give up.

Outside, Zhou Wenli knocked on the door and called him for lunch.

Shakai got up and went out, but he didn't see the child at the table, so he asked, "What about the child?" ”

Zhou Wenli's hand paused, "He went back." ”

"You don't have to ......," Shakai said halfway through, putting it another way, "I'm not against you helping your neighbors. That is, if you help, you can help generously, don't mind me. ”

For Zhou Wenli, he is a stranger who suddenly appeared. Zhou Wenli didn't need to change her life for him.

"I'm not...... I, too, know I'm a bit nosy. It's just that the kid looks pitiful......" Zhou Wenli handed the meal to Sha Kai and said faintly.

This is a bit insincere.

The child looked pitiful, but he was a ghost. She took the boy to the reading room to read fairy tale books, walked with him in the community, and burned a little paper money for him. But these practices did not change the child. He looked just as happy as he had been when he was running around, not getting any better, not getting worse.

Zhou Wenli didn't know if what she was doing helped the child.

"Pathetic? What happened to his family? Don't have adults? Busy at work? Shakai asked.

"Hmm...... He, it seems that no one cares about ......" Zhou Wenli lowered her head.

If you have a family, you won't let him run around like this, right?

"Maybe it's too small...... Zhou Wenli said again.

It may be that he was too young when he died, and his family did not worship often. I heard that some families do not give their children a separate grave, and they will not sweep the sacrifices for children who die early during the winter solstice of the Qingming Dynasty.

Zhou Wenli thought so and frowned.

Shakai was misunderstood.

"Is it abandonment of children? In this case, contact the staff of the community street, contact the women's federation, and they will take care of it. What can you do as an outsider? Sha Kai gave Zhou Wenli an idea.

Zhou Wenli looked up at Sha Kai and lowered her head again.

"I'll be serious with you. Now there are many channels for assistance, and there are special people to manage them, not the kind of welfare homes that were casually thrown in the past. If his family really doesn't care about him, then after contacting the Women's Federation, there will be a social worker or something to help take care of the children. Shakai said.

He actually doesn't know the specific rescue measures, but when he goes online, he will see some hot search social news from time to time.

A gust of sympathy and donations from netizens will not solve the problem at the root of the problem, but the increasingly sophisticated relief measures of civil affairs agencies can reduce the spread of such tragedies.

Sha Kai felt that Zhou Wenli's kind care was just a gust of wind. Zhou Wenli can pounce on her brother with all her heart, leaving her son and husband aside; Can you find a poor child after your brother doesn't need him, take care of him wholeheartedly, and leave his brother, niece, and son aside?

Shakai is very self-aware. It is possible for Zhou Wenli to leave him, but it is impossible to leave Zhou Wenjun. Sooner or later, she will return to the state of revolving around Zhou Wenjun before.

Sha Kai even thought a little despicable that his aunt was so enthusiastic about him and Zhou Wenli's affairs, did she hope that Zhou Wenli would find new spiritual sustenance and stop going to her own small home?

And he, who left Zhou Wenli, was brought up by his father, and is now an adult and working. Zhou Wenli didn't care about him, it just affected his mood a little.

But that kid was different. The child is now being kindly taken care of by Zhou Wenli, and when Zhou Wenli returns to Zhou Wenjun's side, what should the child do?

Sha Kai saw that Zhou Wenli was unmoved, and said: "It's really not good, you can go to the neighborhood committee and ask, right?" Didn't you go to that community center all day long and have a good relationship with the people in the neighborhood committee? That one...... The one who still lives in our building. ”

Sha Kai recalled for a while, he didn't remember Xiao Qian's surname, but remembered that there was such a particularly enthusiastic neighborhood committee staff who lived in the same building as them.

Zhou Wenli listened to this, and her heart moved, "Hmm...... Yes, you can ask. ”

At least ask who the child is.

Zhou Wenli decided so.
