Chapter 30: Sweet When You Grow Up

Chen Zhijie and Ning Xiuzhi had breakfast, and they didn't clean up the dishes and chopsticks, so they went out together.

Today's weather is beautiful, the sun is shining, the breeze is light, and because it is late autumn, there is a hint of warmth mixed with coolness.

The leaves of the trees in the park are yellow, and with the breeze blowing, a few fallen leaves fall from the treetops, and the park is not quiet in the early morning, and there is a burst of music in the distance.

At this time, it is the most active time for those uncles and aunts who exercise in the morning.

Ning Xiuzhi followed a path and came to a relatively remote place, and then looked at the low bushes in front of her, with a smile on her face.

This is the first time that Ning Xiuzhi has shown a smile in more than a year, and Chen Zhijie can't help but feel a little strange.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Last summer, Mu Mu ate a lot of watermelon at home, and when I went out, I asked him to pee and then go out, the little thing was very stubborn, not to say that he didn't pee, but when he came to the park, he couldn't hold it back."

"I asked him to find a random tree next to him to pee, he was still shy, he just didn't want to live or die, he had to find a place where there was no one and was remote, and when he ran here, he couldn't hold it back at all, and peed his pants."

"I said take him back to change his clothes, but he didn't want to, and ended up playing on the beach all afternoon bare-bottomed."

With Ning Xiuzhi's words, Chen Zhijie couldn't help but have a picture in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

But this time Ning Xiuzhi didn't smile, the corners of her eyes showed a look of pain, she turned around and walked back, and soon came to the main road.

The two walked all the way, passing by a few persimmon trees, and Ning Xiuzhi stopped again.

Chen Zhijie knew that Ning Xiuzhi must have something to say, so he also stopped and waited quietly.

Sure enough, Ning Xiuzhi slowly spoke: "When persimmons grew on the tree, Mu Mu wanted to pick them, and I told him that persimmons that have not grown up are bitter and astringent, and only when they grow up will they be sweet and delicious when they are ripe." ”

"Did he say it was the same as him? Now he is still a child, so he is naughty and troublesome, and when he grows up and matures, he will be his mother's sweet child. ”

"So every time he passes by here, he has to look up to see if the persimmons have grown."

When Ning Xiuzhi said this, she couldn't hold back any longer, and tears slowly flowed down her cheeks silently.

Chen Zhijie just wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he saw Ning Xiuzhi wiping tears and continuing to move forward, and Chen Zhijie hurriedly followed.

On the wide and narrow road of the park, the nails of the two people in parallel touched together, Chen Zhijie did not hesitate at all, and directly took Ning Xiuzhi's hand, and clasped his fingers tightly.

But Ning Xiuzhi pulled it out, and in Chen Zhijie's eyes with a hint of loss, she held his arm tightly, as if she was afraid of losing him like losing her son.

"Mu Mu likes the beach here the most, and said, when you are not busy, I will build the largest and largest sandcastle with you......"

"He dug up a snail in the sand, and said that there must be an elf living in it, and brought it back to raise it for a long time, and finally it stinked, so he reluctantly threw it away, but he firmly believed that there was a little elf living in it, and it stinked because it stinked in it."

"When the flowers bloom, he likes to run after the butterflies, I don't let him pick the flowers, but sometimes he can't help but secretly pick a few, and when I criticize him, he says that he loves me the most, so he picks the most beautiful flowers and gives them to me."

“……”

Ning Xiuzhi choked up and laughed.

It turns out that this small park carries so many memories of them, Chen Zhijie never knew this, he has been working hard, wanting to let the mother and son have a better life and live a happier life, but everyone is gone, there is nothing.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhijie also felt unbearable pain in his heart.

Ning Xiuzhi held Chen Zhijie and followed the route she had traveled thousands of times in the past all the way to the park amusement park.

This is the place where she brings her son the most, and it is also his favorite place, for which she also applied for an annual card.

When she went out this time, Ning Xiuzhi also brought it.

"You can go in with me and play around with these projects." Ning Xiuzhi said.

"Okay."

Chen Zhijie nodded, although many of them are children's programs.

The two walked into the amusement park, because the time came very early, there was no one in the amusement park, and many projects had not even opened yet.

But—

Ning Xiuzhi rubbed her eyes in disbelief and looked at the child in front of her who was being pulled by a man.

"Is that ...... Isn't that ......?"

She turned her head to look at her husband beside her, but saw Chen Zhijie with red eyes, looking straight ahead.

"Is that Mu Mu? It's Mu Mu, right? ”

The corners of Chen Zhijie's mouth shook, but he felt that something was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod, and reason told Chen Zhijie that this was completely impossible, but how could his son admit his mistake.

Ning Xiuzhi let go of her husband's arm and staggered forward.

"Mu Mu ......," she shouted.

"Mom."

Seeing her mother running towards her, Chen Xinmu's little face showed a look of surprise, she broke away from Song Ci's hand, opened her arms, and ran towards her mother.

But the moment he let go of Song Ci's hand, his figure slowly disappeared in front of everyone as if it had been erased by an eraser.

"Mu Mu ......"

Seeing her son disappear in front of her eyes, Ning Xiuzhi let out a terrible shout, and the strength in her body seemed to be instantly drained, and the whole person collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Chen Zhijie, who came up from behind, stretched out his hand to help him, so he didn't collapse to the ground.

Chen Zhijie helped Ning Xiuzhi and looked at Song Ci who was walking towards them with a surprised face.

If it's just one person who is dazzled, can two people be dazzled together?

And at this moment, the figure of their son reappeared, but he dragged the hand of the oncoming man, and his face was anxious.

"Mom."

Mu Mu knew that if he let go of Song Ci's hand, his mother would not be able to see or hear him, so he grabbed Song Ci's hand and urged him to go faster, and he couldn't wait to jump into his mother's arms.

Let mom hug him and kiss him, he hasn't hugged and kissed him for a long time.

"Mu Mu."

Ning Xiuzhi, who was originally sore and weak, pushed away and supported her husband, and strode towards Mu Mu, because she was too anxious, she stumbled, her knees hit the ground, and there was a bang, which hurt when she heard it, but she didn't care, continued to get up and ran forward, and hugged Mu Mu in her arms.

"My darling."

Ning Xiuzhi sat paralyzed on the ground, hugged Chen Xinmu in her arms, and cried.

"Mom, woo woo woo ......"

Chen Xinmu also cried loudly.

And Chen Zhijie next to him, his eyes were also red, he looked at his son from time to time, and then looked at Song Ci, who had been pulling his son "not to let go".

"You...... You ......"

In a flurry mood, he was speechless for a while, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

And Song Ci looked at the hand holding Mu Mu, and then took off the head rope on his wrist, and put it on Mu Mu's wrist along the hand he was pulling.
