Chapter 43: Xiao Man (4)

Seeing that Xu Mo had no objection, Xiao Man had already laughed happily, stood up in his arms, reached out and put his arms around his neck, and kissed him a few times on the face.

Xu Mo was affected by her emotions, and couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Man became more and more happy, looked him up and down a few times, and suddenly asked, "Dad, are you cold?"

Xu Mo heard her call himself like this, although he had been prepared early in the morning, he was still a little uncomfortable, shook his head, and said, "I'm not cold." ”

He was breathing quietly, as long as he was not hungry, his body heat was endless, although he was only wearing a single coat, but the current level of cold, he couldn't do anything about him.

Although Xiao Man is young, he is very sensible, listening to his words, where can he believe it? Touched Xu Mo's clothes, tilted his head to think about it, and said, "Dad, Xiao Man's clothes are for you to wear." ”

As he spoke, he went to zip the down jacket and took off his down jacket to Xu Mo to wear. In her child's heart, she really regards Xu Mo as her father, and her feelings are sincere and pure, without the slightest impurity.

Xu Mo's heart was moved, and he hurriedly stopped her movements, and said with a smile: "Xiaoman's clothes, where can I wear them?" Hurry up and stop, beware of catching a cold." ”

Xiao Man said seriously: "Xiao Man is not afraid of colds, Xiao Man is afraid of his father being cold." ”

Xu Mo said: "I'm not cold, really." Moved, my thinking seemed to be affected, and I didn't know what to say other than this sentence.

Xiao Man looked at Xu Mo, tilted his head and thought about it again, as if he suddenly thought clearly, "I know, Xiao Man's clothes are too small for Dad to wear." I have a way, Dad, you wait here for Xiao Man for a while. ”

As he spoke, he kissed Xu Mo on the face, then let go of his hand and walked towards the outside of the wooden house.

"Xiao Man, where are you going?" asked Xu Mo suspiciously.

Xiao Man turned around and said sincerely: "Xiao Man will be back in a while, Dad, you promise Xiao Man to stay in this wooden house and don't leave." ”

"Well, I'm not leaving. Xu Mo said, "Where are you going, your mother said that you should not leave here." ”

Xiao Man tilted his head and said to Xu Mo: "Xiao Man went home and saw if he could find the clothes his father was wearing." ”

"I'm really not cold, Xiaoman is obedient, come back quickly. Xu Mo's heart was warm, and he was a little reluctant to let her leave him for a while.

Xiao Man refused to listen to him this time, opened the wooden door, and walked straight to the house. Xu Mo saw that he couldn't persuade her, so he didn't stop it, and looked at Xiao Man's back, until she entered the house safely, then he was relieved.

After some time, Xiao Man came out of the house again, carrying a backpack on his back and a goose down quilt in his arms. At a young age, she had a little difficulty holding so many things, and she couldn't walk steadily, and the snow road was slippery, and she almost fell several times.

Seeing this, Xu Mo hurriedly greeted her, took the goose down quilt in her arms, and picked her up again. Xiao Man was very polite, and said in his mouth: "Xie Lu, thank Dad." One hand wrapped his arms around Xu Mo's neck.

Xu Mo carried her back to the wooden house and put her down, closing the door. Shaking off the goose down quilt, I found that it was actually a child's quilt, which was obviously used by Xiaoman himself.

Xiao Man took off the backpack, put it on the ground, and squatted down to open the backpack.

Xu Mo glanced at her and asked, "What is Xiao Man carrying, is it a textbook issued by the school?"

"It's not. Xiao Man replied, then turned around and asked, "Does Dad want to read Xiao Man's textbook?" ”

Xu Mo hurriedly said: "I don't look at it, Xiao Man don't take it, what is in the backpack?"

Xiao Man opened the backpack, but took a piggy bank out, held it in both hands, handed it to Xu Mo's arms, and said with a grin: "It's Xiao Man's New Year's money, Dad, you take it to buy clothes and food." ”

Xu Mo glanced at the piggy bank, which was in the shape of a small golden pig, sitting on the ground, holding a large ingot in his left hand, holding a stack of banknotes in his right hand, with an anthropomorphic smile on his face, fat and extremely cute.

But when he saw the little golden pig and the innocent smile on Xiao Man's face, he suddenly felt a warm current in his heart, his nose was sore, his tears almost didn't stop, but his eyes were already red. couldn't help but reach out and stroke Xiao Man's soft hair, "Baby, uncle, don't want it, you can put it away yourself." ”

He was moved, but also grateful, and the title of Xiao Man also subconsciously changed, from 'Xiao Man' to 'baby', but he didn't notice it yet.

When Xiao Man heard his self-title, he hurriedly corrected: "It's Dad, not Uncle." ”

Xu Mo didn't argue with her, and hurriedly changed his words: "Well, I don't want it, you can put it away yourself." Although he was penniless, he didn't want to spend such a child's New Year's money.

Xiao Man was extremely stubborn at this point, tilted his head and said, "Dad will return the money to Xiao Man when he has money in the future." ”

Xu Mo shook his head, wanting to deceive Xiao Man by saying that he was rich, but he felt that although Xiao Man was young, he was so smart, how could he deceive her with such words?

Seeing that he refused to accept it, Xiao Man immediately pretended to cry, looking extremely sad, and said loudly: "Woo! Dad doesn't want me anymore, woo, Dad doesn't want Xiaoman's money, Dad dislikes Xiao Man, woo!"

Covering his face with his hands, he cried while watching Xu Mo through his fingers. Seeing that Xu Mo didn't react, he suddenly sat on the ground, lay down and splashed, but this time he was really crying.

"Don't cry, eat a piece of candy..."

Xu Mo persuaded her several times, and took out a lollipop from the convenience bag to coax her, but she always persuaded her, seeing that she was crying more and more, she had to say: "Xiaoman, don't cry, uncle will take your money." ”

Xiao Man stopped crying when he heard this, his fingers opened, he glanced at Xu Mo with his eyes exposed, and corrected again: "It's Dad." ”

Xu Mo replied vaguely: "Well, I know it." But I thought to myself, "I'll promise her for the time being, find an opportunity, and put the piggy bank in her backpack when she is not paying attention, or give it to her mother." ”

Xiao Man burst into tears and laughed, stood up from the ground, and Xu Mo reached out to help her pat the dust off her body. Xiao Man held the piggy bank and handed it to Xu Mo's arms again. Xu Mo took it, put it aside, and sat down again next to the wooden wall, Xiao Man took the opportunity to sit in his arms and lean on him.

After these twists and turns, Xu Mo's love for Xiao Man in his heart has faintly deepened. There was some air leakage in the wooden house, Xu Mo put the goose down quilt on Xiao Man's body, and breathed quietly, and the heat on his chest and thighs was emitted endlessly.

The heat warmed Xiao Man, who sat in his arms, feeling like he was leaning against a small stove. This is the heat emitted by the human body itself, and for humans, even the same temperature feels much more comfortable than the heat generated by sunlight, heating, electricity, open flames, etc.

Xiao Man soon felt abnormal, turned around, and said strangely: "Dad, you are so warm." ”

Xu Mo smiled proudly, but soon felt sad again, at this time, there was only so much he could give Xiao Man. couldn't help but gently hug Xiao Man in his arms, stretched out his hand to stroke her hair, and his movements were indescribably loving and gentle.

Xiao Man immediately felt his emotions and said coquettishly: "Dad, can you sing to Xiao Man?"

Xu Mo said embarrassedly: "I can't sing." ”

Xiao Man thought about it for a while, and then said, "Then, is it okay for Xiao Man to sing to you?"

Xu Mo immediately agreed, and praised the situation, "Okay, the song sung by Xiaoman must be very good." ”

Xiao Man smiled happily and sang in Xu Mo's arms, she was young, her voice was underdeveloped, and she sang a children's rhyme, but Xu Mo listened to it in her ears, but she couldn't say it was good, and even in her life, she had never heard such a song that could move her.

Xiao Man finished singing a song, but he couldn't stay idle, and showed Xu Mo the dance he learned in kindergarten. After getting tired, he returned to Xu Mo's arms, raised his head, and said to Xu Mo: "Dad, can you tell Xiaoman a story?"

Xu Mo said 'um', he was still good at storytelling, and asked, "What story does Xiao Man want to listen to?"

Xiao Man said: "Whatever Dad says, Xiao Man will listen to." In fact, she just wanted to listen to Xu Mo talk, tell stories or something, just an excuse.

Xu Mo sorted out his thoughts and told a story. After Xiao Man listened, he immediately said, "Dad, talk about one more." ”

The afternoon passed easily and it was getting dark. Xiao Man was young and lacked energy, and after listening to a few stories, he fell asleep.

Xiao Man's mother came to pick her up, Xu Mo handed the sleeping Xiao Man into her arms, and the young woman reached out to take it.

Xiao Man was in a daze, and shouted to himself: "Dad, don't leave Xiao Man, Xiao Man will give you the bed and sleep with his mother." ”

The young woman bent down to pick up Xiao Man's backpack, but left the goose down quilt behind. Xu Mo picked up the piggy bank and wanted to return it to the young woman.

The young woman glanced at it, shook her head and said, "This is left to you by Xiao Man, you can keep it yourself." ”

Xu Mo pushed a few times, but the young woman insisted on not wanting to, "This is Xiao Man's intention, you better keep it, otherwise Xiao Man will wake up and make trouble with me again." ”

Xu Mo was really short of money, and when he saw the young woman say this, he no longer insisted, thinking: Xiaoman is a child, I took her money, although her mother agreed, but it still shouldn't. She treated me like this, and I should always find a way to repay her.

Suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xiao Man said that her father is missing?"

The young woman was surprised when she heard this: "Xiao Man told you about her father?"

Xu Mo nodded, and then asked, "How did her father disappear?"

The young woman shook her head, but there was not much sadness in her expression, thinking that after a long time, her feelings had become weaker, "I don't know, I haven't been able to find him." He glanced at Xu Mo again, "But you are really similar to him." ”

"What's Xiao Man's father's name?" Xu Mo asked again.

The young woman's answer was beyond Xu Mo's expectations, "I don't know what to say, he never told me. ”

Xu Mo said 'oh', but he refused to believe it, thinking: What is the name of your own husband, how can you not know the truth? Yes, you think I am an outsider and refuse to tell me.

The young woman didn't seem to have much interest in Xiao Man's father's affairs, so she casually said a few polite words and left the wooden house with Xiao Man.

Xu Mo sighed, picked up the food, goose down quilt and piggy bank left by Xiao Man, and followed him out of the wooden house and into the night.
