Their carriage stopped in the village of Shen's village, and Shen Yuyuan and Jiang Cuicui came out to greet them.
Jiang Cuicui was pregnant with another child, with a slightly fat waist. Standing behind Shen Yuyuan, when he saw Liu Qiqiao, he rushed over enthusiastically, hugged Liu Qiqiao, and said with a smile: "Qiqiao, I want to die!"
As several people walked in, Shen Yuyuan told Liu Qiqiao about the Liu family's affairs. The mourning hall was on the Liu family's side. Some people came over and brought them the mourning clothes. They changed them one by one. , A few people walked to Liu's house together.
Next to the house of the Liu family is Third Sister Liu. Fourth Sister Liu’s home. Sister Liu’s mourning hall is in her house. Her husband is standing in the yard. He has been helping out at the Shen’s shop in the city. The whole person looks like a red face. The sadness of Liu Sanjie, with a few children, knelt there, crying sadly.
Liu Qiqiao walked over, and her parents greeted her with her younger siblings. She and Shen Yunong first saluted Liu Sijie’s tablet, and then they met with their family members. Everyone held their heads and cried. Liu Qiqiao saw that his father was old again. Many have tears in their eyes, no matter what, white-haired people are sending black-haired people. The sadness of the elderly is real. Liu Qiqiao has been complaining about his father, third sister, and fourth sister for not getting married well. The fourth sister has never had a comfortable life for a few days in her life. She was in a bad family situation before. Later she moved to this village and her husband was there. A helper in the city, but she didn’t enjoy this day. She gave birth to a child and threw her life away. Liu Qiqiao thought of her mother who died in dystocia. The impression she gave her was terrible for having a child. The child, has taken away two of her close relatives.
After coming out of the mourning hall, Liu Qiqiao and his parents walked into the upper room. He heard a cry of a baby. Liu Qiqiao hurriedly walked over and saw a small baby in swaddling, crying with his eyes closed, crying very quietly. With a weak sound, Liu Qiqiao’s stepmother said, “It’s so pitiful. This is the first time I came to this world. I lost my mother and gave birth prematurely. Look, I’m too skinny, only a little over four catties. I don’t know if I can support it!"
Although it is not pleasant, Liu Qiqiao also knows what the stepmother is saying is the truth, and she also knows that sentence. She is not alive. This little baby, counted, is exactly eight months old, with a strand of black hair sticking. On the forehead, a face is red because of crying, and it makes people feel distressed to look at it.
I don’t know why, Liu Qiqiao looked at this child and couldn’t rest assured. This is the fourth sister’s child, the child born by the fourth sister desperately. She didn’t want her to survive. She turned around and asked one of the maids on the side: " Have you hired a nanny?"
The maid said anxiously: "Not yet!"
"What? What did she eat this day?" Liu Qiqiao asked in surprise.
On the one hand, Liu Qiqiao’s stepmother rushed and said: "Your fourth sister is leaving too eagerly. Although she said that she would invite a nanny before, but thinking that the day is still early, she has not been invited. Suddenly something happened and she left Yes, your fourth brother-in-law only came back from the store last night. They were busy with your fourth sister’s funeral. There is no one who can take care of this child. I told people to make some rice cereal and feed her. It seemed to be I'm hungry again, I'll tell them to get it!" After speaking, the stepmother went out and asked someone to get it.
A little maid quickly made the rice cereal, brought it, and Liu Qiqiao personally fed it to the baby.
At the beginning, the baby's mouth was always open indiscriminately, just refusing to eat the rice cereal in the spoon. Third Sister Liu looked at it and cried, "This little child is looking for milk, and he is eating it, poor. My child, it's a pity that the fourth sister has never even milked her!"
When she said this, Liu Qiqiao couldn't bear it either, and the hand holding the spoon shook slightly. It took a long time before it came over, and finally patiently delivered it to the baby's mouth.
Poor little baby, the instinct to live is there. At first, he always didn't drink well. Later, he would swallow it all at once, but he was very aggrieved. After swallowing twice, he would close his eyes and cry hummingly. At the last two sounds, Liu Qiqiao hummed softly, coaxing her while feeding her.
Shen Yunong sat aside, unable to see this scene, got up and walked out. Standing under the corridor, Shen Yunong's eyes were full of tears, but he held back, and wiped it away from the carved paper window, thinking, what can be born can not be raised, and what can be raised, but cannot be born, this world, how much The regret.
After a while, Shen Yunong heard footsteps behind him. He turned his head, but saw Liu Qiqiao walking towards him. Seeing her eyes were red, Shen Yunong felt distressed, and said, "You can't come back from death. , Don't be too sad!"
Liu Qiqiao nodded: "I know..."
Two people stood here, the sound of trina, the sound of wooden fish, the sound of crying, and that kind of sadness a little bit in Liu Qiqiao's heart. She couldn't bear it, and she covered her heart and slowed down. , Turned his head and said to Shen Yunong, "Miangong, there is something, I want to ask for a fairness to me!"
Shen Yunong looked at Liu Qiqiao. In the past, there was always a lightness between the two people. There were too many things to digest. They moved forward passively. No one knew what the future would be. They only felt that the road ahead was long. There is no other way except acceptance.
Shen Yunong said softly: "There is nothing to ask for between you and me, just as you say!"
Liu Qiqiao said: "The fourth sister is dead, only this child is left. Seeing Chen Qiming's appearance, she must be renewed. The fourth sister gave him three daughters. The first two are already old, but there is nothing wrong with it. , This..., I’m afraid that it’s not good to live in his hands. I want to adopt this child under my name. In the future, if I have a child, I will call her sister. If not, I Guarding this child, don't be afraid of the years to come!"
Shen Yunong listened to Liu Qiqiao's words and looked at her face. The sadness made him feel distressed. He stretched out his hand and took Qiqiao into his arms: "Okay, Qiqiao, it's up to you. You will raise this child. Okay, let's ask Chen Qiming what conditions he wants, and I will allow him!"
Liu Qiqiao stayed in Zhuangzi for a month, but Shen Yunong returned to the city the next day. There were still many things in the city for him to deal with.
Chen Qiming was eager to encounter such a thing. Liu Qiqiao wanted the premature baby. It was too much for him. He didn't have much affection for his wife, but because of his wife, he can have enough food and clothing. In the past, he was too late to fawn on Shen Yunong and Liu Qiqiao, not to mention having a child, even those daughters gave them all, and he also gave it to them.
A month later, Liu Qiqiao returned to the Shen family mansion and held her fourth sister's child. She gave her name: "Yunyun", because the fourth sister's name has a cloud in the Central Plains.
From then on, Liu Qiqiao didn't think about anything else, only focusing on caring for the child.
The days are not bright, the ordinary is passing very fast, unknowingly, it is another winter, Xiao Yunyun, under Liu Qiqiao's care, looks like a jade and snow, and because of the timely feeding, he originally gave birth to five catties. Xiao Yunyun, who is not there, is now chubby. He tilts his head and looks at the sound when he hears the movement. That's so cute.
Shen Yunong also likes this child. He stays with Liu Qiqiao from time to time and teases the child with her for a long time.
