Wang Chu got into Li Xiangyang's car as scheduled, came to the so-called kindergarten, and introduced the principal Qi Wei, met another volunteer teacher, Sanjie, and Zhang Yu, a teacher in the same class as her, and they also introduced each other.

"Mr. Wang, how old are you this year?" Teacher Sang asked curiously.

"I'm 38 years old."

"Mr. Wang, you can't see that you are 38 years old at all, but like a gangzi in your early 30s, how do you maintain it, you maintain it so well." Zhang Yu interjected.

"I don't have much maintenance, I just have a regular schedule." Wang Chu replied.

"So young." Sanjay said, "We met your husband more than ten years ago, and he praised you, saying that he has a writer's wife, who is capable and beautiful. ”

"I'm not pretty, I'm just not ugly, Mr. Sang has won the award."

"You see that Teacher Ma is modest, he is already beautiful enough." Zhang Yu said, "Look at my figure, fat, I am on the way to lose weight every day." ”

Whether it is praise in etiquette or the so-called flattery, Wang Chu just pursed his lips and smiled, he has never liked anyone's graceful flattery, especially about Li Xiangyang's praise of her outside, and he feels that while flaunting him, more people mistakenly think that he has a happy family and a successful career.

Kindergarten and Li Haoran's school next to each other, after school, Wang Chu waited for him at the school gate, in the crowd, fourteen-year-old he was about one meter six or five, walking out of the campus is obviously much taller than other children, his handsome, masculine in the whole school is incomparable, often white sweatshirt, casual black pants, white sneakers, set off his tall stature, it seems that he is different from many people. He saw her from afar, and walked quickly after greeting his classmates, "Mom, why are you here?" ”

"I'll take care of you, otherwise what will you eat for three meals a day?"

"My dad's unit has a canteen, so I can't be hungry."

"You don't need me as a mother?"

"No Mom, you go to your class, I can take care of myself."

"I'm here to teach in the kindergarten, so you don't have to eat in the cafeteria in the future, walk home, and your mother will make ramen for you."

"Ah, that's right." Li Haoran said reluctantly, "It's not easy for me to spend two days to kill my life." ”

"What's that look on your face? I see that you really don't need me as a mother when you grow up, and you are reluctant to let me take care of you, so I applied to go back? ”

"No Mom, you misunderstood, misunderstood." Li Haoran hurriedly explained, "I'm hungry for the ramen made by my mother." ”

Wang Chu pursed her lips, a little sigh was obviously sad, indeed, she admitted that the son in front of her had grown up and been self-reliant, but she hadn't adapted yet.

Back at home, take off his shoes and coat, Wang Chu changed into a set of indoor clothes, and then put himself in the kitchen.

"The flour is here, the rice is here, the seasoning is here." Li Xiangyang explained, where Wang Chu goes, he is naturally with him, "There is everything in the refrigerator, eggs, chicken, beef, all kinds of vegetables, I purchased it for two days to purchase all of them, if there is still a shortage, you go out and walk about a meter forward, there is a store, where everything is used, all I can think of is this." ”

"I see." Wang Chu replied, her face was expressionless, and her smile was completely absent.

"Why don't I take you to the county to buy it?" Li Xiangyang asked.

"No need, I'll go to the store to buy it when it's a weekend."

Wang Chu didn't have a good tone, let alone a good face, so Li Xiangyang left and returned to the living room.

Wang Chu quickly made the best ramen, a pot of stewed mutton, and a cold cucumber, which were placed on the table. Li Haoran went to the living room to call his father for dinner, and at the dining table, Li Xiangyang sandwiched cool mutton for his son, "Son, you eat more mutton, you are growing so fast now, nutrition must keep up." ”

"I know, Dad." Li Haoran nodded happily in agreement.

Li Xiangyang sandwiched a piece of mutton to Wang Chu, and she immediately dodged the bowl, "You can eat yours, I'll come by myself." Only then did he take back the mutton from his chopsticks and put it in his bowl, a look of disappointment written all over his face.

After dinner, Wang Chu then visited the layout of the whole room, the house is amazingly large, the upper and lower floors are more than 200 square meters, as soon as you enter the door is Li Haoran's bedroom, in front of the kitchen and dining room, on the left hand side is the living room, there is a bathroom at the staircase, the staircase is the second floor, the right hand side is the small bedroom, the staircase is the big bedroom, and there is a bathroom next to it, and the door on the right side of the bathroom is an open-air balcony.

The decoration of the whole room is very old-fashioned and traditional, the walls are white, the door frames are all silver, and the floor is white tiles, but it looks really magnificent, and it is prepared by the unit for the transfer leader after all.

Wang Chu chose to be in the large bedroom, which is about 60 square meters, inside is a pine wardrobe and bed, clothes and objects are placed in it, it is uncomfortably empty, and the items used on weekdays are roughly placed on the table, only the jewelry is placed in a fixed cabinet, so as not to find it.

Wang Chu put the computer on the computer desk, prepared a lamp for himself, put a cup of water soaked in jasmine tea in front of his eyes, turned on the computer and began to write, twisted his head when he was tired, stretched his waist, drank saliva, or blew the wind on the open-air balcony, and looked at the green scenery in the distance, it was a very pleasant thing.

At night, Li Xiangyang knocked on the door, Wang Chu locked the door, she opened the door and looked at him outside the door, and asked very strangely, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I want to have a few words with you."

"I don't have anything to say to you."

"Can you let me in first? Don't alarm the child, the child is doing his homework and thinks we are arguing. ”

Wang Chu took a few steps back, and Li Xiangyang walked in and sat on the chair, "I'm very happy that you can come to this house and take care of me and the child." ”

"I'll state first." Wang Chu explained, "I'm here for the children, not to take care of you, and not for this family." ”

"I know." Li Xiangyang nodded, "Whether it's for the sake of the child or for the sake of this family, I have to thank you, you still consider the overall situation." ”

Wang Chu sighed, "You don't have to say thank you to me, I'm just taking care of my son, and I'll leave when he is admitted to high school." ”

"Nope." Li Xiangyang got up from his chair, "Since you are here, I won't let you go, I will transfer your work as soon as possible." ”

"Please save your energy." Wang Chu clenched his fists, "It's only a matter of time before I divorce you." ”

Li Xiangyang walked towards Wang Chu until he pushed Wang Chu close to the windowsill, "Don't think about it." Then he turned away, and slammed the door shut as he went out.

Wang Chu stood there expressionlessly, she leaned her head against the wall, her body seemed to lose consciousness and balance, and tears seemed to be about to burst out of her eyes, but she endured and endured, stunned and stunned, and finally held back her tears.

Early in the morning, Wang Chu got up early to make breakfast for Li Haoran, cleaned up himself, changed his clothes and went out to work with a relaxed and happy face, and greeted the teachers on campus.

At the gate of the kindergarten, Wang Chu met a pair of lovely twins, these two sisters are called An Ning, and the younger sister is called An Qi. My sister is fat and tall, no matter in line or playing, she is always protecting her sister, especially when she is in line, when her sister is pushed around by others, she immediately rushes to the front and warns, "I tell you, don't push my sister." The little friend stood there honestly, and even looked at her in amazement.

After listening to Zhang Yu's introduction to the two twins, Wang Chu unconsciously became interested in them, especially Anqi, who was always protecting her sister, with a slightly chubby body, a smiling face, and a little willful, like a little niece when she was a child.

Another boy named Xuan Xuan, who was more anxious and had a headache, cried heartbreakingly from the moment his father sent him to the kindergarten door, and his father carried him into the kindergarten and forcibly handed him over to the teacher, and he rolled on the ground, digging his face with his hands, digging his arms and hands, and there were deep scars on his hands and arms. The teacher was helpless, forcibly controlled his hand, and refused to let go until his father was far away, but the crying did not stop, and it was not until he entered the kindergarten that he stopped crying and chose to be alone in a no-man's corner and not communicate with anyone. Later, I learned that Xuanxuan's father and his mother divorced when he was three years old, and his mother took him before he went to school, and later his mother remarried and sent the child back. Wang Chu specially learned from his father that Xuan Xuan's situation had already been formed when his mother took him, and his mother had no way to manage it, so he gave the child to his father, and this behavior made the child even more impolite, very rude, and difficult to control.

"How do you usually discipline children like this?" Wang Chu asked.

"Hit, but I don't listen, I can't help it."

"Don't hit your child, the more you beat your child, the more rebellious you become."

In the verbal exchange, Wang Chu saw Xuanxuan's father's helplessness, and afterwards, she tried to communicate with Xuanxuan a few times, but he couldn't enter his heart except for a strong sense of alienation, but Wang Chu, as always, brought bread, yogurt, and various snacks for Xuanxuan, and sometimes held Xuanxuan in his arms and communicated deeply with him.

"Xuanxuan, do you know that you are the most handsome boy in our class?" Wang Chu asked, Xuan Xuan nodded, and didn't say anything. "Since Xuan Xuan is so handsome, don't dig your face in the future?" He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her, "Look, you dig your own face, you also hurt, right, look at your face, your hands are dug like this, your handsome face is gone, how ugly it is, isn't it?" ”

"Yes." Xuan Xuan finally nodded.

"Then let's talk about it, Xuanxuan won't dig his face again in the future, okay?"

"Okay."

"And." Wang Chu continued, "Dad sent Xuanxuan to kindergarten because he wanted Xuanxuan to study hard, earn more money in the future, buy himself delicious food, buy himself beautiful clothes, and take care of his father with the money he earned. ”

"Yes." Xuan Xuan nodded again.

"Then you can't cry anymore when Dad sends you to kindergarten, and you can't dig your face anymore, okay?"

"Okay."

"Xuan Xuan is really a good boy."

Wang Chu's bitter words worked, and afterwards, every time Xuan Xuan sent her to the gate and was about to cry, she would pull her into her hand, "Xuan Xuan, we said that we will not cry in the future, we will come to kindergarten, go to school well, study hard, and earn more money to buy food, buy clothes, and honor our father in the future." ”

Xuan Xuan really didn't cry anymore, for half a month, at the entrance of the kindergarten, he took the initiative to say goodbye to his father, and walked into the kindergarten alone, Wang Chu suddenly felt that he had a sense of accomplishment, and also tasted the fun of working in the kindergarten.

Day after day, it is easy and pleasant to have a weekend, you can stay at home quietly, write, drink tea, and cook food.

What made Wang Chu unbelievable was that one day she suddenly vomited, and after opening the calendar, she saw the red mark, only to find that her menstrual period had been more than ten days late. She immediately went to the pharmacy and bought two early pregnancy test strips, both of which showed that she was pregnant.

Wang Chu angrily threw the test strip into the trash, but unexpectedly, Li Xiangyang picked it up again and put it in front of her.

"What are you going to do?" Li Xiangyang asked, and it was not difficult to see the joy on his face.

"What do you want to say?"

"I won't let you get rid of your children, and I won't get a divorce."

"The child is in my belly, I can't help you." Wang Chu said angrily, "It's not up to you to decide whether to divorce or not." ”

"How many times have you been to the courthouse, and the result?" Li Xiangyang asked.

Wang Chu's breath was up and down, all the emotions of wisdom, kindness, and virtue in his heart were completely gone, and his roar exploded completely at this moment, "You get out of here." ”

Li Xiangyang stopped talking, had to leave, Wang Chu immediately closed the door, lying on the bed, this night, she stayed awake all night, the little life in her stomach is like a seed that has just sprouted, growing every minute, she knows very well that the little life has been conceived for more than 30 days, but she told herself very sensibly, "I can't have this child." ”

Wang Chu's vomiting can be seen everywhere, in the cafeteria, on the road, in the classroom, at the door of the toilet, "Teacher Wang, what's wrong with you lately?" Are you pregnant? ”

Wang Chu didn't want more people to know, "I guess it's a bad stomach, right?" ”

"Well, then you'll have to go out and check it out."

Wang Chu nodded, "Okay." ”

Wang Chu is not a public figure, but the family members of the leaders are already on the cusp of the storm, and in places with a population of less than 3,000, the news of pregnancy has reached the kindergarten in less than a week.

"Mr. Wang, what's your situation, you don't share it with us if you have a second child, when are you going to brutalize us?" Early in the morning, as soon as he entered the entrance of the kindergarten, Sanjay greeted him and asked, and several teachers also gathered around him.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, you don't share such a big happy event with us, you really didn't treat us as friends, I asked you, but you didn't tell me." Zhang Yu interjected aggrievedly.

Wang Chu raised his eyebrows, "It's a trivial matter, and besides, I didn't plan to have this child, so I didn't tell you." ”

"Don't, Mr. Wang, you see that you like children so much, then Angel and An Ning pestered you all day long, you like them so much, if you give birth to a girl, born beautiful, just like you, absolutely good-looking." Zhang Yu persuaded.

"I'm almost forty years old, and I have another child, and the child hasn't grown up at the age of sixty, and if I don't live to be sixty years old, wouldn't it be a miserable child! Besides, if I had another boy, it would kill me. Wang Chu said.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Zhang Yu said, "A child is too lonely, your family Li Haoran has grown up, and Deputy Political Commissar Li is so capable, and your family's conditions are so good, you can consider giving birth to a child." Zhang Yu persuaded.

Wang Chu smiled bitterly, "Let's look at the situation again, let me think about it." She tried her best to meet with a smile, but her heart was miserable, but unfortunately no one could read her heart.

After that, all the people he met, Wang Chu replied like this. This kind of answer is less of a lot of questions and chatter and dissuasion, and naturally, it makes her ears a lot clearer.

"You have to take good care of the baby, there is a high chance of abortion and miscarriage now."

"You have to eat better, you see you are so thin."

"Teacher Wang, if you give birth to a daughter, you must be beautiful, you see how handsome your Li Haoran looks, in our school, he is outstanding and handsome."

The flattery of many people made Wang Chu feel uncomfortable, whether they really cared or flattered, she had to echo with interest, and her facial expressions should be consistent, and later, when more teachers were interested in running to ask if they wanted to have children, Wang Chu replied with a smile, "I plan to give birth to a child." ”

"That's right!" Sanjay replied, "You and your husband are young and capable, and it's right to have one." ”

"You've finally figured it out." Zhang Yu replied, "How good are the two children in the family, they are not lonely when they grow up, I feel that my family Chu Ge is very lonely now, and I have to give birth to one as soon as possible." ”

For a long time, Wang Chu commuted to and from work on time, and stayed at home quietly on weekends, she found that Li Xiangyang deliberately monitored her, and then one day on weekends, she deliberately asked Li Xiangyang for car keys, "Give me the car keys, I want to go out to the city to relax." ”

"Wait for me." Li Xiangyang was putting on his shoes, "I'll go to the office to deal with some things, where you go, I'll accompany you." ”

"No, I don't." Wang Chu refused.

"Nope." Li Xiangyang put on his shoes, "You are pregnant now, I have to think about your safety." ”

"No, I can't die."

Li Xiangyang didn't answer, picked up the car keys and left, Li Haoran opened the door at a distance that only his head could stretch out, and he narrowed his oversized eyes into a slit, "Mom, stay at home honestly, I will watch you for Dad." ”

"You little brat, what do you know?" Wang Chu frowned and scolded, "Go and read the book, don't worry about the affairs of adults." ”

"I know that you and Dad have always had a bad relationship, and I also know why you two quarreled last time, and I know that you are pregnant now, I don't care what you two do, I really want a younger brother or sister, so I will take care of you for Dad, and I can't let you do stupid things."

Wang Chu's eyebrows furrowed, she bit her mouth slightly, and let out a disapproving "hum" in her nose, she turned upstairs, walked into the room, and walked to the window. The Milanese smell on the windowsill exudes a faint fragrance, and the small yellow flowers bloom all over the Milan tree, and some of them fall into the windowsill, and there is still an irresistible fragrance in the hand. She loves to kiss Milan, and at that moment, she felt that her exhaustion was relieved and her mood was relaxed.

Wang Chu buried herself in the quilt, she had no desire to go out, she just wanted to sleep greedily, not cooking, not washing, not tidying up the house, just lazily sleeping until dawn.

For a long time, Wang Chu really fell asleep, and she dreamed of the Nalati grassland, where many yurts were built, and white sheep were densely distributed in the grassland. She thought she was going to see Tong Liya, and even called out her name, but she saw a little girl riding on horseback, wearing a long red dress, driving the sheep and smiling towards her, the smile was very charming, the background of the Nalati Valley and the flowing and slender red dress on her horseback were reconciled into an oil painting that did not eat the fireworks of the world. Wang Chu was about to take out her mobile phone to take a photo, but when she turned on her mobile phone to shoot, the little girl and the sheep in front of her suddenly disappeared, and she only heard the voice of the little girl echoing in the valley, "Mom...... Mom....... ”

The dark clouds on the top of the mountain in the west suddenly gathered, and the sky above rolled red glow, which turned into black clouds in an instant. The little girl's voice calling for her mother was still echoing, she didn't know what was going to happen, the grassland was so empty that people were frightening, looking around, there was no one around, not even living animals.

"Son, who are you?" Wang Chu covered his ears and even squatted on the ground, not wanting to hear the little girl's voice again, but after a few seconds, the voice echoed in the valley again.

"Mom, Mom, wake up, what's wrong with you? Are you waking up? Wang Chu sat up from the bed in shock, only to find Li Haoran sitting on the edge of the bed, "Mom, are you having a nightmare?" He asked.

Wang Chu let out a cold breath, feeling that he was so tired that he was weak, and the beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, "My son helps my mother pour a glass of water." ”

Li Haoran immediately took the water from the cup and handed it to Wang Chu, "Mom, after drinking the water, clean up and go out, Dad is waiting outside." ”

"I don't want to go out." Wang Chu drank a few sips of water and planned to lie down and continue to sleep.

"Oh, Mom, you have to go today." Li Haoran grabbed Wang Chu, "Dad promised me, go buy me a basketball, Mom, I beg you." He had an innocent look on his face, "You just come with me, I want to buy basketball." ”

Wang Chu knew that he couldn't resist Haohao, so he had to agree, "Okay, okay, I'll go." She changed into a set of sweatshirts, put on a pair of sunglasses studded with gold trim, tied her hair into a ponytail, put on white sneakers, put on a light layer of lipstick, went out with a tired face, and got into the car with Li Haoran.
