Bai Fuling was startled: "Mother is sick?" Turning to look at Mu Peilan, she saw that her face was ruddy, and she was a little plumper and more beautiful than the last time we met.
Bai Changshan laughed until his mouth almost cracked behind his ears, and said, "Ling'er, you will have younger brothers and sisters soon!"
Bai Fuling was stunned for a moment, looked at her mother up and down, and finally her eyes fell on her abdomen, surprised and unbelievable, her mother is pregnant? ! No wonder they were willing to delay seeing her until the Mid-Autumn Festival. It must be because my mother was just pregnant at that time and needed to rest and not be able to hurry.
"You are so amazing!" Bai Fuling exclaimed nonsensically, and immediately praised her parents to embarrassment and embarrassment.
Mu Peilan poked her between the eyebrows with her finger, and said angrily, "Girl, how do you talk?"
Bai Chou's skin is relatively thick, and after realizing it, he hugged his wife and laughed: "Ling'er is right, could it be that your husband and I are not good?"
Mu Peilan was annoyed and funny by the two father and daughter, and only sighed that she was not as thick-skinned as them.
Seeing her parents' joy, Bai Fuling felt a lot of emotions in her heart, both happy and relaxed but also a little bit bleak.
Lin Pingzi once said that the Bai family was destined to have daughters and no children, white-headed people to give black-headed people, and no one to take care of the elderly. Afterwards, the couple got rid of the ghost face poison, and their appearance changed a lot, but Bai Fuling always felt that his parents were not old enough. Little, I never thought that they are actually only people in their 30s and 40s, and they still have the ability to bear children. In modern society, many career women only have their first child at this age!
As a result, "go to battle in person", leave a grandson for her parents, and accompany the two old people in her filial piety after her death. In the end, after busying himself for nothing and causing a whole lot of trouble, the parents solved the problem by themselves without making a sound.
She's really useless... Bai Fuling despised herself with low execution ability, put aside her low mood and brought her parents and grandpa to have a happy reunion dinner together.
Mu Peilan was pregnant and couldn't drink, and Bai Chou lived with her, afraid that his alcohol would smell on her, so he didn't dare to drink too much, but Bai Changshan and Bai Fuling's grandfather and grandson were in a good mood and got drunk.
Bai Changshan thought that there was another grandson in Mu Peilan's belly. Although he didn't know the gender yet, the Bai family finally had the hope of flourishing. Needless to say, he was happy. Bai Fuling felt that the heavy stone on his heart was half gone in an instant. , naturally relaxed a lot.
The old and the young were drunk and insisted that they were not drunk. They stood up and wanted to race in a straight line. Bai Chou and Mu Peilan watched the two guys swaying around in funny ways, laughing so hard that they couldn't stand up straight. waist.
A feast didn't end until Haishi, Bai Chou sent Bai Changshan back to his room to rest, and Mu Peilan asked Bai Guo and Bai Shao to help Bai Fuling back to the room.
After a brief grooming, Bai Fuling was sent to the police station, already too drunk to keep her eyes open.
Mu Peilan fed her some hangover soup, sat on the edge of the bed and wanted to watch her fall asleep before leaving. She has never seen Bai Fuling drunk before, because Bai Fuling is very smart and intelligent after recovering from illness at the age of three, and has her own opinions on everything. What about her, it's just that she rarely drinks, let alone let herself get drunk.
Just now everyone was happy and didn't think anything, but now that they were quiet, Mu Peilan began to feel that her daughter's behavior was a little unusual.
He looked down and saw his daughter frowning slightly, as if she was still feeling unwell in her sleep, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and stretched out her hand to gently stroke her forehead, hoping to share some of the sadness for her.
Over there, Bai Chou arranged Bai Changshan and came to pick up his wife. Seeing that Bai Fuling was asleep, he didn't dare to make a sound for fear of waking her up, so he quietly walked to Mu Peilan's side.
Bai Fuling rubbed unconsciously under Mu Peilan's palm, and said vaguely: "My brother, be obedient... listen to me..."
Mu Peilan and Bai Chou looked at each other and smiled, and Bai Chou was secretly happy. He didn't mind Mu Peilan having a boy or a girl, but if he could give birth to a boy, it would be the greatest comfort to his father Bai Changshan. Both the husband and wife faintly felt that their daughter's background was extraordinary. Since she unconsciously said that she was her younger brother, Mu Peilan probably had a boy in her stomach.
It's just that they were not happy for long, and their faces turned pale with fright at Bai Fuling's last words.
"After I die... Take care of my parents for me..."
Mu Peilan was shocked, she sat up straight at once, and accidentally bumped into the waiter on the side, and her sleeves swept the porcelain bowl of hangover soup on the desk to the ground, making a crisp "bang", the sound could be heard in the silent night Terrible very.
Bai Chou hurriedly supported her, not knowing what to say to comfort his wife, he silently reached out and patted her shoulder, trying to help her calm down.
Bai Guo and Bai Shao heard voices from outside, knocked on the door and came in to clean up the broken porcelain on the floor. The atmosphere in the room was frighteningly oppressive. The two women knew that something must have happened. backed out.
After a while, Mu Peilan calmed down, held her husband's hand and said sadly: "She, she always knew, is what the old monk said true?"
Bai Chou really wanted to say, "Those are all lies, Ling'er will live a long life", but if he couldn't even believe it himself, what's the point of saying it
"Ling'er, did she commit herself to Haifushi to leave some thoughts for us and my wife?" Mu Peilan knew her daughter's temperament well. If she had no other purpose, even if she was tempted by Haifushi, she would not get close to him easily. to this extent.
She was anxious to be with Sea Pumice because she knew her time was numbered!
Bai Chou nodded silently. He had doubts about this before, but now it was finally confirmed. He sighed and said, "You are a healthy person, don't be too sad. Since Ling'er also knows about this, why don't you wait for her to wake up tomorrow?" Let's talk it over with her, maybe she knows there is a way to continue her life? What's the matter? Let's face it together as a family. Helping thousands of people can make Ling'er live for fifteen years. If you save thousands of people, if you don't have Ling'er, you can live 15 years longer. The Ning'an River is flooding, and there are countless victims. Let's try to save as many as possible... "
Mu Peilan knew that her husband was trying to comfort her, so she forced a smile and said nothing.
Both couples knew that there was little hope, otherwise, with their daughter's attachment to them, they would have tried their best to prolong their lives.
The two couples had no dreams all night, Bai Chou persuaded and persuaded Mu Peilan to lie beside Bai Fuling and rest for a while.
Mu Peilan looked at her daughter's beautiful and peaceful face, and her heart ached as if being entangled by a hemp rope. This was her daughter whom she had painstakingly loved and cared for for more than ten years. Could it be that the couple tried their best, but they still couldn't keep her
When she woke up the next day, Bai Fuling opened her eyes and saw her mother sleeping beside her, looking at her with tired and sad eyes, she was startled and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? Where's Dad?"
"I'm here." Bai Chou's voice came from the direction of the soft couch under the window. He hadn't slept all night, and his condition was not much better than his wife's.
Bai Fuling said guiltily: "I'm just drunk, just let Bai Guo and the others take care of it. My mother is pregnant, why don't you persuade her to go back to rest? Rest is the most important thing for people with babies, Dad, hurry up Take mother back to make up for sleep!"
Bai Chou smiled wryly and didn't make any excuses, Mu Peilan sat up and said, "Ling'er, do you still remember what happened the day you recovered from illness at the age of three?"
Bai Fuling nodded blankly and said, "I remember, what's wrong?"
"The old monk said that you can only live to be eighteen..." Mu Peilan stared closely at her daughter's face.
Bai Fuling was startled, neither refuted nor was she angry or worried about the news, but was a little surprised and apprehensive: "You guys... knew this early on?" Sure enough, parents knew this secret a long time ago, she said! Why in the past two years, my parents always have some strange behaviors, such as insisting on going to the capital, doing some ceremonies, insisting on going to Banzhuang Mountain to pay respects to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, etc.
It's hard for her to keep secrets carefully all these years. It turns out that their family's thoughts are so similar, they all hope that the other party can feel at ease, and will hide difficult things in their hearts for more than ten years.
Hearing her affirmation in disguise, Mu Peilan shook her body and almost couldn't sit still and fell on the bed. Bai Fuling turned pale with fright, and hurriedly helped her up, and Bai Chou also came to help, after a lot of fuss, she called Fang Hailai again Diagnose the pulse to determine Mu Peilan's physical condition.
Bai Changshan was still hungover, and the family of three silently ate breakfast without taste. Bai Fuling bit her lip and took her mother's hand and said in a low voice: "Mom, I know you love me and worry about me, but please listen to me." Speak slowly, don't be sad, and don't get excited, okay? Although you are in good health, my brother is still young and can't stand repeated tossing. Promise me, okay?"
Mu Peilan had already known that Bai Fuling was only eighteen years old, but she still had a bit of luck before, she calmed down and knew that her behavior would not help the matter, and would only make her husband and daughter more worried, so she endured it. Live no longer sad and cry.
Bai Fuling took a deep breath and said, "I was about to die when I was three years old. It was the grace of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who allowed me to stay with my parents for another fifteen years. These fifteen years were earned. I I want our family to live a happy life. Although my life is short, my parents are very kind to me. I almost get what I want. The past ten years are more enjoyable than others' fifty or one hundred years , I have no regrets, and I have nothing to complain about. I am very grateful to the Bodhisattva for giving me these fifteen years."
"I'm not an obedient and docile daughter, but I think my parents should have lived happily these years with me, right?"
Mu Peilan burst into tears, but her smile was extremely pious: "Who said my daughter is disobedient and docile, my Ling'er is the best daughter in the world."
"That's right! Parents are much happier these years than they were in the past twenty years." Bai Chou said softly while sitting beside the bed, but these happy days passed too fast, too fast...
