Volume II: The Lie of April (7)

The piercing ringtone of the mobile phone woke Chen Zhao.

Frowning in disgust, he groaned twice in disgust at the ringing that had disturbed his sleep, and then squinted, and in a daze, stretched out his hand and groped around the head of the bed.

"Daddy, Daddy... The phone number is here. Daughter Xiaole's voice came from the side and handed him the phone.

"Hello?"

Chen Zhao spoke in a daze.

"I said Chen Zhao, are you still sleeping?" Yu Yazhi's voice came, with a smile, "It's half past eleven." ”

Half past eleven?

Chen Zhao got up suddenly, instantly sleepless, looked at the wall clock on the wall, and his face was not very good-looking.

Looking at his daughter who was playing with the little Rubik's Cube with a serious face, Chen Zhao really wanted to slap himself in the face.

Because she didn't get up, she didn't eat in the morning, right? Why didn't this Nizi wake herself up!

"Thank you for the call. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep for half a day. Chen Zhao said embarrassedly.

"You're usually too tired." Yu Yazhi said with a smile.

"Well, maybe a little..." Chen Zhao nodded, paused, and asked instead, "That... Is Manager Yu looking for me? ”

"I want you to come to my house. I've known you for a while, I've been wanting to invite you to dinner, I always see that you don't have time, now it's a holiday, there should always be it, right? Yu Yazhi asked tentatively, but seemed to think of something, and laughed dryly, "Well, it doesn't matter if you're busy, I'm hungry, and I ordered a lot of food, I'm afraid that one person won't be able to finish eating..."

"Ah, not busy." Chen Zhao took a bite to answer, and then said, "But... Can I bring my daughter with me?"

“...”

"Uh... Uh, uh-huh. OK.. Yes. Welcome. ”

Yu Yazhi was silent for a few seconds, and then replied in a somewhat blunt tone. But Chen Zhao didn't care about these details, said thank you, and hung up the phone after arriving later.

"Xiaole, are you hungry?" Chen Zhao turned to touch his daughter's head.

"I'm hungry."

"That's good. Dad will take you out to eat something delicious, let's go, let's go brush your teeth and wash your face. With that, Chen Zhao was about to pick up his daughter.

"Xiaole washed himself in the morning." The daughter shook her little head and pushed Chen Zhao's hand away.

"Washed yourself?"

This made Chen Zhao dumbfounded, he walked quickly to the bathroom, there was a stool in front of the high sink, and his daughter's small cup and toothbrush towel were obviously used.

He froze in place.

....

The sky was drizzling.

The wet corridors and foggy streets make people feel as gloomy and gloomy as the sky.

This continuous rainy day is really unpleasant.

The gentle wind, the blue sky, the warm sunshine, only this is the most beautiful April.

Because it was a rainy and cold day, Chen Zhao wore a long-sleeved dress for his daughter. Holding an umbrella and holding her, he soon came to Yu Yazhi's house.

I rang the doorbell, and with two ding-dong sounds, the door opened.

Yu Yazhi, who was wearing a simple women's short-sleeved T-shirt, stood at the door with a smile: "Did you come quickly?" After speaking, he immediately turned his head to look at Xiaole in Chen Zhao's arms, and smiled kindly, "Your daughter is so cute, can you let your aunt hug her?" ”

Xiaole looked at Yu Yazhi for a while, then suddenly shrank her body, hugged Chen Zhao's neck tightly, and said timidly, "Auntie is good." ”

"She seems to be a little scared of life..."Chen Zhao laughed dryly.

Chen Zhao really doesn't know whether his daughter is afraid of giving birth to this problem, but his daughter, who has always been sensible and well-behaved, shows this attitude, and he can only analyze it like this.

Yu Yazhi didn't think so, and joked, "Hey, maybe I look scary, right?" As he spoke, he pointed to a table of dishes in the living room, "Then come in, the meals are ready, and I cooked a few of them myself." ”

Because of Yu Yazhi's help and getting along with Chen Zhao these days, the two of them are not so restrained, Chen Zhao is not polite, and he went in and sat aside with his daughter in his arms.

"Do you want to taste the roast duck made by this aunt?" Yu Yazhi said to Xiaole in a soft tone.

Chen Zhao nodded and smiled, ready to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes for his daughter first, but suddenly, the daughter raised her head and looked at Yu Yazhi, who was looking at the father and daughter with a gentle smile on the opposite side, "Auntie, my mother will also cook for my father, my mother likes my father very much." ”

...

It rained heavily at the hospital.

Xia Qing sat on the bed, peeled the apple brought by Chen Zhao, and after peeling, handed it to the side casually.

"The technique is good." The voice grinned.

"You're really there." Xia Qing smiled bitterly: "It looks like you are the patient." ”

"I'm afraid you'll be stupid in the hospital, and I'll give you a chance to exercise. You don't thank me or mock me? ”

On the side is a baby-faced woman wearing women's shorts, showing her big white legs, and her age does not look younger than Xia Qing, she is extremely beautiful and cute.

She was grabbing the apple, chewing it politely at all, just chewing two bites, suddenly her face stiffened, she spit the apple into the trash can next to her, and scolded, "Which bastard bought it for you?" Such a lack of morality, can this be eaten? ”

Xia Qing smiled and said, "Chen Zhao." ”

"Hmph, I knew it was this unconscionable bastard who would buy it. I didn't even come to see my wife on vacation, it's really..."The woman snorted twice, "Forget it, I'll train him again in a few days." ”

"He's been tired lately, he's working part-time, and he's probably still sleeping." Xia Qingdao.

"Cut, I'm only working now, why did I go earlier? So many years of hard work for you? Still sleeping, at noon, the pigs are sleeping. I think Bacheng is fooling around with other women behind your back. ”

The woman looked disapproving, then cocked her big white legs and added, "Besides, shouldn't he be tired?" Why are you afraid of getting tired? He should work hard and think about the future. Think about buying a house, buying a car, giving you a good life and so on. ”

Xia Qing smiled bitterly and shook her head, she couldn't refute anything about her best friend, who had known her for many years.

Her best friend's life quote is: I can't stand criticism, if you criticize me, I will scold you!

Looking at the drizzle outside the window, Xia Qing fell into deep thought.

She clearly remembered the haggard and tired face when Chen Zhao came over every day. She knows very well how hard Chen Zhao is working for this family.

As for the future?

She sighed. There are so many fantasies in life, and there are many helpless setbacks. People live in every moment, the present is reality, and reality is cruel, in a cruel world, who can guarantee that they will not be crushed by reality?

The room was frozen except for the rain that crackled against the windows.

After a long time, the woman next to her breathed a sigh of relief and broke the silence, "You know me, Moonlight Clan, poor bastard." Just save that thousand yuan, you can make do with it and use it first, after all, now you have to rest for so long, that bastard doesn't know if he can support you..."

"Thank you." Xia Qing did not refuse.

"If you really can't get on with it at home, go find the turtle. Isn't he rich and willing to help you?"

“....”

Xia Qing was silent.

It's not that she didn't have this thought, but Chen Zhao's words of 'I don't want you to borrow' have been lingering in her mind.

Instead, she shook her head and smiled, not speaking.

...

It was only noon, and it was already dark.

Holding his daughter to the hospital, the embarrassment on Chen Zhao's face has not yet dissipated. He doesn't know how to meet and talk to Yu Yazhi anymore, Xiaole's words, will Yu Yazhi misunderstand what he taught?

He was very uneasy inside.

"Xiaole, you can't talk casually next time, you know? It's rude. Chen Zhao touched his daughter's head.

He didn't intend to reprimand his daughter, after all, she was only five years old, how could she understand the adult world? That must have been unintentional.

"Got it." Xiaole answered in a whisper.

As I walked, the rain started to get a little heavier.

"Daddy..."

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Will you not have Xiaole?"

"Fool, what do you think? Dad doesn't want anyone, no one wants Xiaole. Chen Zhao kissed her on the cheek affectionately.

"That Daddy... Will you not want your mother anymore? Xiaole looked at Chen Zhao cautiously.

Wow.

A small car sped by, splashing rain on Chen Zhao's trouser legs.

Chen Zhao stopped.

...

Two seconds later, he continued towards the hospital.

"No, it won't. Certain! He smiled.
