Chapter 22: My brother and I have a mother too!
"Even if you are divorced, the child is still your flesh and blood." Cui Peiya persuaded.
"......" was silent on the other end of the phone.
"Archie is so sensible, Ah Qiao is so well-behaved, how can you bear to say don't want it?"
Crying voices came from the other end of the phone.
Cui Peiya couldn't persuade him anymore. He could imagine that Archie's mother on the other end of the phone must have had her own difficulties.
"This is my mobile phone number, you are always welcome to call when you change your mind or want to talk to the two children. Let's do it first. ”
After Cui Peiya ended the call, he walked towards the dining area with a heavy face.
As soon as he turned into the dining area, Cui Peiya grinned, he didn't want the little brother and sister to bear the pain that shouldn't belong to them, he decided to let him bear it silently for the time being.
"Uncle Cui, did our dad answer the phone?" Ah Qiao asked. She was faintly worried.
"As you guessed, I called your dad when I came out of the toilet just now, and he said that he was too late to pick you up today, so let you go home with me first. I'll tell you, oh, I have two cuties at home. One is a 10-year-old sister and the other is a 4-year-old brother. They can't wait to see you! ”
The last sentence is not a lie.
The 10-year-old sister met Archie and Archie from the articles written by her father, and the 4-year-old brother met Archie and Archie from her sister. Two days ago, they heard that their father would escort Archie and Ah Qiao to Yunhai City to find their parents, and they all said that they wanted to meet and play together.
In front of the children, Cui Peiya called his wife and said that he would take the No. 89 bus and arrive home in 40 minutes, and the two young guests would return with him.
Cui Peiya's wife immediately understood that it was Archie and Ah Qiao, and immediately welcomed her on the phone.
Archie and Ah Qiao took the bus with Cui Peiya, and Uncle Cui also specially bought a bus ticket for Archie.
Thirty or forty minutes later, Cui Peiya took them out of the car.
Wait for the traffic light, take the zebra crossing, cross the wide road, and come to the door of a community.
Archie and Qiao's hands clasped tightly. They share each other's curiosity and each other's fears.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy, Daddy!"
Two children ran over at the entrance of the community. Cui Peiya put down the duffel bag in his hand, and the children couldn't wait to throw themselves into his arms.
They unabashedly hugged and kissed in public, and the little brothers and sisters were dumbfounded.
"Let's introduce to you, Archie, Ah Qiao, this is my daughter Cui Tianxin, this is my son Cui Universe."
"Sweetheart, Little Universe, this is Li Qi, this is Li Qiao. Let's get to know each other. ”
Sweetheart generously stretched out her hand to Archie and Qiao. Archie shook it. Her hands are so soft. Archie's face grew red. Ah Qiao was directly held by the four-year-old universe. The little universe held its little head high, and shouted "little sister, little sister" non-stop.
Cui Peiya's wife, Feng Xinli, stood not far away with a smile, holding up her mobile phone to "click" and "click" to take pictures of them.
Two adults, four children, a bunch of luggage, go home together.
Cui Peiya's home is not big, with two bedrooms and two living rooms.
In one of the bedrooms, there is also a bunk bed. It's just that the Cui family's high and low beds are more delicate and painted with white paint.
"My sister sleeps with my sister, and my brother sleeps with my younger brother, just one big and one small." Feng Xinli pointed to the bunk bed and said with a smile.
The children took a bath in turn, and after washing, they changed into the dry clothes prepared by Feng Xinli. Among them, Archie and Ah Qiao's were specially bought by Feng Xinli for them. I was going to give it to them, but I didn't expect it to be used that night.
After taking a bath, Feng Xinli helped Sweetheart and Ah Qiao blow their hair.
The hot air from the wind blew on Ah Qiao's head, Ah Qiao's eyes were round, and he wanted to shrink his neck but didn't dare, and he stood through the itch. When the hair dryer stopped, she suddenly giggled. It made everyone laugh along. Although everyone didn't understand why they were laughing.
Feng Xinli brought dinner to the table, which was pale green and pale yellow dumplings.
Everyone gathered around the small table and ate vinegared dumplings.
Sweetheart said that the pale green dumplings were made with noodles with spinach juice, and the pink dumplings were made with noodles with carrot juice. It was my mother who took their siblings to do it.
"My brother and I also have a mother." Ah Qiao continued.
Cui Peiya subconsciously lowered his head. Feng Xinli had already heard about the child's parents from Cui Peiya, and she couldn't answer the conversation all of a sudden.
"Of course! Everyone has a mom and dad! The 4-year-old said in an affirmative tone.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After eating dumplings, Feng Xinli allowed the children to watch TV cartoons for a while.
Cui Peiya and Feng Xinli were busy washing in the kitchen. The two of them closed the kitchen door, not knowing what they were saying.
That night, after brushing their teeth, the children were in bed.
Feng Xinli walked into the children's bedroom, turned on the lamp, lowered the lampshade, and began to read the bedtime story.
Today's bedtime story is "A Leaf Falls". Feng Xinli preached in a voice that was not very beautiful, but very gentle.
"Spring has passed.
Then, the summer passed.
Freddie's leaf was already grown, broad and thick, with five sharp and hard horns. ”
"I'm a few, I'm few, Freddie is a maple leaf!" The small universe yelled and shouted.
"Shhhhh
The small room was quiet again, only Feng Xinli's voice echoed.
"Freddie grew on a tall tree. But in the spring, when he appeared on the big branch near the treetops, it was just a small leaf bud.
There were thousands of leaves around Freddy, all of them exactly like him, or rather, they all looked exactly like him.
It didn't take long for Freddie to understand that no two leaves were exactly the same, even on the same tree.
The leaf on his left is called Alfred. The leaf to his right is called Ben. The lovely leaf on top of his head is called Claire.
They all grew up together.
In the spring breeze, they learned to dance, and in the summer, they lazily bask in the sun and let the rain shower them......"
Ah Qiao shrank slightly in the corner of the bunk on the high and low bed, dragging the air conditioner quilt, and wrapped her body tightly. At home, they sleep with their windows open. Here, they sleep with the windows closed.
Close the windows, turn on the air conditioner, and cover the thin quilt.
Everything is so new and strange to Ah Qiao.
Feng Xinli's voice rang in her ears stretched, like a mother's feeling. Before going to bed, Uncle Cui asked her and her brother to call Duoduo's house to report to her grandmother that she was safe.
She felt lonely and relaxed from her grandmother's voice.
Lying on a fluffy cot, the indoor air is cool and dry, and it is very comfortable. Ah Qiao fell asleep in a daze.
