When Shiling's mother came home from the night shift, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

After changing her shoes and entering the house, she naturally went to her daughter's room to take a look, and then looked at Liu Shiling, who was sleeping on the open textbook.

Walking to the table and seeing her daughter's chubby little face pressed under the first-grade Chinese textbook, Shiling's mother couldn't help but feel a little proud and proud.

Before, she was a little skeptical that her daughter's enthusiasm for learning would be just a three-minute heat, after all, specific knowledge, stories, and systematic textbooks would obviously be boring compared to systematic textbooks.

But judging from the situation during this time, Liu Shiling is really interested in learning, and she has already learned half of the Chinese textbook in the first grade of primary school, and she has recognized a lot of words, and it is the kind that can be written directly and silently, and she has really learned it.

I also learned ten digits in addition and subtraction, and even the ninety-nine multiplication table was memorized to six six thirty-six.

Before, when she was in a hurry to change shifts and picked up Liu Shiling from school and went directly to the convenience store, this girl loved to stare at the labels of the goods on the shelves and practice arithmetic over there. Of course, if there are more than three pieces, it will be wrong, and if there is a decimal point, two will also be wrong, but this study still makes her very satisfied and proud.

Shiling's mother had just turned off the lamp and was about to bend down to pick up her daughter, when a cat's head suddenly protruded from the edge of the curtain next to her, startling her.

The yolk pie looked at Shiling's mother, blinked, retracted the curtains, and continued to doze off.

Shiling's mother hurried over and drove the egg yolk pie off the windowsill and let it go back to sleep on its own turf, then walked back, picked up her daughter again, and walked to the bed to lay it down.

As soon as she was picked up by her mother, Liu Shiling subconsciously hugged her mother's neck, and after being put on the bed, she released it very cooperatively, and when her mother undressed her, she also raised her hand cooperatively.

After helping her daughter cover the quilt, Shiling's mother couldn't help but help her old waist and was a little out of breath.

It's too normal for her to hug the little chubby girl to bed, and in the past, the chubby girl went to the street with her, as long as she had the opportunity, she wanted her to hug or carry it, and didn't want to walk by herself, every time she was tired, she had to use food or watch cartoons to induce her daughter to walk by herself, so it should be very easy to only hug her from the desk to the bed.

Could it be that you are too late on the night shift and too tired?

Gently touching her daughter's chubby little face, Shiling's mother couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, maybe in a few years, she won't be able to hold her daughter.

For a while, she couldn't help but miss the time when her daughter was a little older, didn't learn to speak, couldn't climb, and would only rub her butt against the floor to move around, her daughter at that time, as long as she couldn't see her when she opened her eyes, she would start crying, especially sticky, but also very cute, especially painful, really holding it in her hand for fear of falling, holding it in her mouth for fear of melting.

Time flies.

Shiling's mother gently closed the door of the room, and when she arrived in the living room, she glanced at the dining table, and couldn't help but be stunned, because she didn't find the plate left by Liu Shiling after dinner.

When she walked to the kitchen and saw the plates on the drain rack, the traces of the sink, and a stool that had been moved to the kitchen next to her, she immediately understood that her daughter had washed the dishes after dinner.

And not to mention, the plate was indeed cleanly washed without any problems.

Shiling's mother became more and more soft, and her pride in her daughter added three points, but at the same time, she was a little sour, a little distressed, the more sensible her daughter was, the more she showed her mother's incompetence - how could she let her daughter who was still in kindergarten wash dishes.

At the same time, she also had some worries about the future of their mother and daughter, before she sold Shenhai's house, she had a lot of money in her hand, even if she bought a new house in Star City, the remaining money was basically enough for their mother and daughter to live for several years without a problem, so that she could concentrate on taking care of her daughter.

But later, at her insistence, Shiling's father basically took all the money he earned over the years in order to cut it with the other side as soon as possible.

During this time, Shiling's father's company encountered some difficulties, and in order to regroup, it needed a working capital, so he took all the money from Shiling's mother to sell the house.

Although Shiling's father said that it would be as short as one or two months, or as long as half a year, she could get the capital back, but Shiling's mother was a little worried and felt that it might not be so smooth. She had also worked in Shiling's father company for several years, and knew that although this industry was highly profitable, the speed of payment collection was relatively slow, and she often encountered various unexpected situations, which further lengthened the payment cycle.

So even if she still has tens of thousands of yuan around her now, she has to prepare for it, and she can't sit on the empty side, after all, the rent, her daughter's tuition, and other related expenses have to be spent all the time.

In the past, Miss Tang and Miss Yang pulled her to help their game company do game tests, provide advice or something, and fill out a form after each trial and send it over, and they would give her a big red envelope as the test fee.

Although Miss Tang said that this is the cost of the test, and the internal test they invited also costs money, she still feels that she has no academic qualifications, and the sound game is very fun, but the content of the form is not valuable, and she is a little embarrassed to take the money.

So when she saw that the convenience store on the edge of the community was going to recruit people, she hesitated again and again, or chose to apply in the past, but she didn't expect to be hired, but fortunately, she was responsible for the night shift, in addition to not being able to cook for her daughter, it did not affect her to pick up her daughter to kindergarten.

Now I can only take one step at a time, and I hope that Shiling's father will get on the right track as soon as possible, and their family of three can live well together.

After a brief tidying up in the kitchen, Shiling's mother took her tired body to take a bath and sleep, thinking that she would get up early tomorrow morning, cook something delicious for her daughter, and reward her for taking the initiative to do housework and wash dishes.

However, what Shiling's mother didn't expect was that when she got up early the next morning and was just about to cook, she received a call from the police and got a thunderbolt from the sky.

"What, killing? how is it possible, this is impossible, it is impossible, how can he kill people......"

Until she hung up the phone, she was still in a trance, wondering if she hadn't woken up and was still dreaming.

The police called her to inform her that Shiling's father was cheated out of money because of the money, and then took a knife to the person who cheated him out of the money and wanted to get the money back, scuffled together, and stabbed the person to death, and now Shiling's father has been detained by the local police.

She was stunned in the kitchen for a while, and it wasn't until her daughter came over and stood next to her with her eyes rubbed and asked, "What is Mommy doing?" that she came back to her senses.

Shiling's mother settled down, first asked her daughter to wash, and then made a few phone calls, confirmed the situation, and made a decision, since the incident happened, she still had to go.

But the daughter definitely can't take a piece with her, she has to make arrangements.

Shiling's mother's instinctive first reaction was whether to ask her daughter to be taken care of by Mr. Xiang for a period of time, after all, with her daughter's trust in Mr. Xiang and her good relationship with the beautiful sisters around Mr. Xiang, there must be no problem with staying with them.

However, considering that Mr. Xiang is now in Thornton City, it is still a little far away from Star City, and the place where Shiling's father was arrested is not in the way, and it will be a long time to make a detour. And strictly speaking, she and her daughter have not known Mr. Xiang, Miss Xia, Miss Tang, and Miss Yang for a long time, except when they were neighbors with Mr. Xiang before, and then they only met once a while ago, so there is no reason to ask them to help watch the children so suddenly. On the other hand, she couldn't say anything about the current predicament, so she crossed out this option.

After thinking about it, Shiling's mother decided to take her daughter back to her parents' house.

She is originally from Xiangchu, and her hometown is not far from Star City. Although she had little contact with her family because of various things before, after all, she was a relative whose blood was dissolved in water, and her mother would never be able to take care of her granddaughter for a few days.

So after Liu Shiling finished washing, Shiling's mother asked her to put on her clothes, and called the kindergarten to ask for leave, ready to take her to the car.

"Shiling, mom has something to go out for, I'll take you to grandma in a while, you will stay with grandma in the next two or three days, listen to grandma, mom will pick you up home soon." Shiling's mother took a bag for Shiling to pack her change of clothes, and explained to her.

"Grandma, do I have a grandmother?" asked Liu Shiling with wide eyes and a stunned gaze.

"Stupid girl, of course you have a grandmother, but grandma has always been in her hometown and has not been with us. But when you were a child, she also saw you, but she liked you, well, you probably don't remember. Shiling's mother said softly.

"That'...... Do I have a grandfather, a grandfather, or a grandmother?" asked Liu Shiling again.

"Hmm...... I'll tell you about this later, I'll take you to grandma first, do you want to know obediently?" Shiling's mother didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, her daughter didn't ask, and after listening to the words, she just nodded again and again.

AFTER PACKING UP HER CLOTHES, IPAD, AND A CASUAL STORYBOOK, SHILING'S MOTHER LOOKED AT THE EGG YOLK PIE LYING IN THE CORNER OF THE LIVING ROOM AND LOOKING UP AT THE TWO OF THEM, HESITATED FOR A MOMENT, AND SAID, "POUR MORE CAT FOOD FOR THE EGG YOLK PIE...... Forget it, I'll see if there is a pet store on the side that can be boarded......"

When Liu Shiling heard this, she hurriedly ran over to pick up the egg yolk pie and said, "Mom, let the egg yolk pie go with me to see grandma, it will definitely be very well-behaved and will not be naughty." ”

"No, the cat will stink, and your grandmother will be upset. ”

"When the egg yolk pie wants to stink, I'll take it to the toilet, and it must be very obedient. ”

Seeing the egg yolk pie that was held motionless by her daughter in her arms, with wide-eyed eyes and a "very well-behaved" expression, and the tail that hung down to the ground and swept away, Shiling's mother frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Then you bring the cat food and cat litter of the egg yolk pie." ”

Liu Shiling hurriedly put down the egg yolk pie, and brought the cat food, cat litter and everything wrapped in her Little Red Book with her hands and feet, of course, her baby chopsticks, as well as the five big coins and the A4 paper did not fall.

After taking a car for more than an hour all the way, after arriving in a small town in a neighboring city, Shiling's mother took her daughter to an old-fashioned community.

Looking at the mother who opened the security door, Shiling's mother, who was in a complicated mood, called "Mom", and then said to the daughter holding hands: "Shiling, call grandma." ”

"Grandma......" Liu Shiling called a little timidly and expectantly.

"Hey, Shiling has grown so big, come, give grandma a good look. Grandma sighed at Shiling's mother, welcomed the two in, and touched Liu Shiling's head with pity.

"Mom, you should know what I told you on the phone before, I have to leave for a few days, you help me take care of Shiling. Shiling's mother said, taking out the prepared 5,000 yuan in cash and stuffing it to her mother.

Grandma Shiling didn't refuse, and quickly accepted it.

"The eldest sister hasn't come back for the New Year, why is she free to come over at this time?" At this time, a middle-aged woman holding a child came out of the room and said to Shiling's mother.

Shiling's mother knew that this was her brother's wife, so she reluctantly smiled and said hello, and then said to Liu Shiling: "Call aunt, that's your cousin." ”

"Hello aunt, good cousin. Liu Shiling called very obediently.

"Xiaohui is really handsome, come, buy toys for Xiaohui with this money. Shiling's mother smiled and rolled up a few pieces of money, stuffed them into the small pocket of the little nephew's coat held by her younger siblings, and asked casually, "Isn't the little brother at home?"

"He's been working outside all this time, oh, by the way, the eldest sister hasn't been back for a few years, so I shouldn't know. Hey, big sister, you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave, let's have a meal together. It's time to eat, if you're not hungry, the child will be hungry, look at this baby is white and fat, and his appetite should be quite small. ”

Hearing her younger siblings say this in a tone that is not salty or light, Shiling's mother realized that something was wrong, and looked at Shiling's grandmother, she had already asked when she called before, and Shiling's grandmother said that there was no problem.

Shiling's grandmother sighed and said to her daughter-in-law, "Aqi, didn't you say before that Shiling is going to stay here for a few days?" ”

"How many days? It depends on how many days you stay. Aunt Shiling said coldly.

Shiling's mother felt that something was not right, and looked down at her daughter, who was standing on the side and looking around curiously, with an ignorant expression, and hesitated.

Shiling's grandmother said to her directly: "If you have something, go and do it, Shiling is my granddaughter, I will watch it, go, get things done as soon as possible, and come back to pick up Shiling." ”

When Liu Shiling heard this, she also raised her little face and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will listen to my grandmother and aunt." ”

Shiling's mother sighed, leaned down and hugged her daughter and whispered a few words, and finally turned to leave.

"Mom, she won't leave the child here, just won't come back. After the door closed, Aunt Shiling said.

Grandma Shiling frowned and said, "You have a little bit of morality, the child is still here." No matter what Ah Xue does, she is not thin on you as a couple, don't forget how much she helped when you got married and bought a house. ”
