Lu Haici had no mother and lived with his aunt until he was four years old. He envied other children who had parents. He also asked his aunt why other children had parents but he didn't.
The aunt said that he had a father and a mother, and his father was a great hero who was defending his country. His mother was sick and went to a very far place. The little kid already knew about great heroes, and he also liked to have a father who was a great hero. However, he didn't know what a very far place meant.
Last year, when he was four years old, his father came back. Looking at his tall and big father, he was so happy. Just like his aunt said, his father was a great hero, just like the great hero who could hunt wild boars in his imagination.
However, his father came back but his mother did not. He asked his father why his mother did not come back. His father said that his mother was sick and died.
He asked his father again, he knew that being sick was very painful, but what did death mean
Dad said that once someone dies, he is dead.
Although he was only four years old, he already knew what death meant. When he heard that his mother had died, he cried a lot.
When his father came back that time, he took him to the army. In the army, he became good friends with a child who also had no mother. His name was Ji Yang. Because they both had no mother, they were very close. But half a year ago, just before the Chinese New Year last year, Ji Yang's father married another wife, and Ji Yang suddenly had a new mother.
Everyone said stepmothers were bad and would bully children, but Ji Yang told him that his stepmother was very nice to him. He often went to Ji Yang's house to play. He had seen Ji Yang's stepmother, who would make meat buns for Ji Yang and buy milk candies for him. So he secretly envied her and wondered, when would he also have a mother who would make meat buns for him and buy milk candies for him
This time at his aunt's house, his father asked him if he would agree if he found a stepmother for him. He jumped up with joy after hearing that. Later, he met his stepmother. She was very pretty, white, and twice as pretty as Ji Yang's stepmother. He had heard his uncle say "twice as pretty" every day. Although no one told him what it meant, he knew it meant prettier than pretty.
His stepmother gave him candy as he wished. He happily hid the candy and was reluctant to eat it because he wanted to show it to Ji Yang when he returned to the army. He wanted to tell Ji Yang that his new mother was also very good. He was even happier because from now on, he had a mother. He had a father and a mother. He was a normal child with a father and a mother.
In the following days, her mother treated her very well and even gave her some meat during meals. He felt that he was a doubly happy child.
However, after he arrived at the army and his father was on a mission, his mother became different. Every day, his mother asked him to get food, wash dishes, and sweep the floor. More importantly, his mother never smiled at him again, and she was no longer the same as before. Every time she spoke to him, her voice was no longer gentle, and even carried a kind of disgust that he couldn't describe.
Lu Haici kept this matter in his heart and didn't tell anyone, even his good friend Ji Yang came to ask him, he didn't tell anyone. He didn't want to tell anyone, he finally had a new mother, he became a child with a mother, he couldn't say bad things about his mother. He once asked his aunt why she couldn't let the baby out to play right away when she was pregnant
My aunt said that it takes a long time for a child to come out of his mother's belly because he is not familiar with his mother, so he needs to get familiar with her slowly. Once he is familiar with her, he will come out to play. So he thought that his mother was not familiar with him either, and after he worked for her for a long time, his mother would get familiar with him, know that he was a good child, and would definitely like him.
Last night, his mother didn't eat and said she was not feeling well and wanted to go to bed. Until this morning, when he came back with breakfast, his mother didn't get up. He called her several times, but she didn't respond. He was worried and went into the house to check. He saw his mother lying in bed. No matter how he called, his mother didn't wake up. Fortunately, his mother woke up later.
But when my mother woke up, she complained of a headache. He didn't know what to do. He knew that if he got sick, he would die. He ran out in fear and called Aunt Qin, who had fostered him there... Later, Aunt Qin called the family compound to help and sent my mother to the hospital. The doctor said that if it had been any later, my mother would have been burned to death.
When he thought that he was almost going to become a child without a mother again, Lu Haici's eyes turned red again and he shed tears.
Lin Qingqing didn't know what to say to this child who called her mom. The original owner defined him as a burden. Before, in front of Lu Cheng, the original owner pretended to like the child very much, but as soon as Lu Cheng left, she never gave him a good face. Fortunately, in the past half month, the original owner didn't do anything more excessive, otherwise Lin Qingqing wouldn't know how to end it now.
"Mom..." Seeing his mother looking at him without saying a word, Lu Haici called out cautiously, with tentativeness and nervousness in his voice.
Lin Qingqing came back to her senses and smiled at the child: "Thank you, Xiao Haici, you are such a brave and good child." She couldn't treat him like the original owner, but she couldn't think of herself as his mother either. After all, she was only 23 years old, not married and had no children, so she couldn't put herself in the position of a mother. However, she could think of herself as a kindergarten teacher and treat him like a kindergarten kid. After all, she once wanted to be a kindergarten teacher. But later, the teacher's certificate was placed in the drawer and became a decoration.
Thinking of using this position to describe the relationship between the two, Lin Qingqing suddenly felt relieved. Moreover, for now, it was impossible for her and Lu Cheng to divorce.
First of all, military marriages are not easy to divorce.
Secondly, what would she do if she got divorced? In this strange and conservative era, if she returned to the original owner's hometown after the divorce, she didn't know what people would say about her. Even if the original owner's family didn't despise her, they would definitely be hurt by hearing others mocking her. She couldn't let her doting family be laughed at because of her choice.
Besides, even if no one ridiculed her when she returned to the original owner's hometown, she was not the original owner after all. If she lived with people who were familiar with the original owner every day, she would definitely be exposed immediately. Therefore, it was best and safer to live with Lu Cheng, who was not familiar with the original owner.
In summary, it is irrational to divorce if she is not yet able to live well on her own after the divorce.
Third, it was 1963, and the dark decade was about to come. A divorced woman would definitely have a hard time during that decade, and a military marriage was a kind of protection for her.
Summary: Let’s take it one step at a time.
"Mom, is that true?" Lu Haici's eyes lit up when he heard her praise. His dirty little face seemed to be covered with a layer of sunshine, making him look more lively. He grinned and smiled like a little sun.
Perhaps infected by his smile, Lin Qingqing also smiled: "Really, more real than pearls." She couldn't help but joked.
Lu Haici looked at her, looked at her gentle smile, looked at her loving eyes, his smile gradually faded, and finally his eyes became redder and redder, and then he began to cry.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Qingqing asked nervously. She touched his messy hair. "Why are you crying?"
Lu Haici held his mouth to prevent himself from crying, and he shook his head hard.
Lin Qingqing suddenly remembered that when she just woke up, she heard her say that she had a headache, and the child ran out crying and called for help. She thought that the child must be worried about her. What a kind child. The original owner disliked him so much, but he still cared about the original owner so much. Thinking of this, her smile became a little gentler: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Lin Qingqing is an internet celebrity. As an internet celebrity, voice is very important. Voice is not only about whether the voice itself is pleasant or unpleasant, but also includes the speed of pronunciation. When she speaks, she follows the habit of being a host, with a slower speed and a lighter tone, which sounds soft. Coupled with the original owner's refreshing voice of an 18-year-old girl, it sounds particularly good.
Lu Haici was very happy to hear his mother talking to him like this. He felt that he must have won his mother's approval for being obedient and doing the dishes, just like it takes a long time for a mother to be pregnant with a baby, and when the baby comes out, it means that the mother and the baby are very good. And now, he and his mother are also very good.
Lu Haici decided that when he returned to the family compound, he would take his candy to Ji Yang and tell Ji Yang that it was the candy his mother gave him and that his mother also liked him very much.
Gurgle…
Lin Qingqing's stomach rumbled.
At that moment, Lin Qingqing wished she could sew up her belly tightly. Her gurgling in front of the children really affected her image.
Lu Haici blinked and said in a very straight-forward way, "Mom, your stomach is growling."
Lin Qingqing said embarrassedly: "Well, I'm hungry, but this is my first time in the hospital and I don't know where to eat? Can you help me go out and have a look?"
Lu Haici immediately said, "Mom, my aunt said she would bring us food."
Hearing that someone would come to deliver food, Lin Qingqing was no longer anxious. However, "Which aunt is it? I remember when I was sick, you called people to help. Do you still remember these people? When I am discharged from the hospital, we have to thank them."
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll remember it very well." Lu Haici patted his chest and promised, "My dad said that when he was on a mission, I should remember all the people who helped me. When he comes back, we should thank them. When you were sick, I called Da Wang's mother. I called her Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin later called some people to send you to the hospital, but I don't remember those people Aunt Qin called." At this point, Lu Haici felt a little ashamed. He had just promised his mother, but now he didn't do it. Because of shame, he lowered his head. He boasted.
