Chapter 7 Chapter VII

Pack your simple luggage first. Between the coffee shop and the restaurant, Changchun chose the western restaurant because he guessed that An Fuquan and the others would be in the coffee shop. It happened again. The little girl kept crying and kicking in vain, causing all the restaurant guests to stare at her. An Fuquan frowned tightly, his face livid and silent. Ms. Dong seemed to lose control, she suddenly reached out and slapped her daughter, and Xiao Baibai cried even harder. At this time, Ankang suddenly walked over quietly, without saying a word, and stretched out his arms to hug Bai Bai.

The little girl fell into his arms convulsively, and immediately stopped crying. Ankang carried her all the way to Changchun's table. The whole restaurant breathed a sigh of relief. Kiki fed her water lovingly. The little girl was obviously tired. Lying in his brother's arms, he couldn't stop licking his thumb. Chang Chun ordered a cup of hot milk for her, and after drinking it, she fell into a deep sleep. Ankang wrapped her coat around her to keep her from catching cold. Qiqi said: "Baibai has a big temper." Chang Chun smiled and replied: "You are worse than her, ask brother if you don't believe me."

A table full of people, woke up from a nap in vain, and just happened to eat ice cream together. Qi is Qi there and did not come to retrieve her daughter. Lin Haiqing did come, and seeing that the two children had turned into three with thick eyelashes and big eyes, she dared not make a sound, fearing that the youngest one was also born in Changchun. Chang Chun casually introduced to them: "This is Brother Lin Haiqing." Hai Qing readily agreed at first, but then thought, no, "Why am I a generation shorter?" "It's almost fine." Chang Chun smiled. At this time, she saw five rounds of red marks on Baibai's chubby arms, which were clearly her mother's giant spirit palm, and she couldn't help but feel heartbroken, so she gave Baibai all the red cherries on the ice cream to eat.

The young child seemed to have completely forgotten the unpleasant scene just now. Chang Chun said to her in a warm and kind way, "Why are you losing your temper?" He didn't answer in vain, even a person as young as two years old knew how to avoid unpleasant topics. Changchun seems to be talking to himself: "Mothers are the most tiring, children are disobedient, angry in their hearts, and they have to go to work during the day, how can they cope without energy?" Then looking at Baibai, "You have to cooperate with your mother." Lin Haiqing smirked, "Does she understand?"

Chang Chun was serious, "Why don't you understand, even small animals understand." Bai Bai just lowered his head and ate cherries. "After eating, run back to mom and say sorry to mom." There was no reply in vain. But after a while, after eating, she voluntarily climbed off the chair, and Ankang still sent her back. Only then did Lin Haiqing affirm that the toddler was someone else's child. He called the waiter to pay. When they raised their heads, An Fuquan had already left at the table. From the beginning to the end, he didn't come over to say hello or thank him.

It's hard to be a good person. Kiki kept asking, "Did you hit me when you were young?" Of course there is. "What do you say?" Qiqi smiled, "Mom won't hit me." At this moment, he hesitated again, "Brother, have you ever seen your mother beat me?" Ankang said without hesitation: "Never." Changchun smiled slightly. Ankang lied. Why not, I was in a bad mood for a while, and I haven't found a good nanny yet, and the one-year-old Qiqi would cry endlessly when the army was in a hurry. Qi roared, the child was frightened, and the whole small body trembled like a kitten...

It is not easy to be a single parent, and children of single parents will naturally suffer more. She also beat Qiqi. There is no mother who doesn't beat her child and a couple who doesn't quarrel. But after everything was over, her mother still paid for the children's elementary school, middle school and college tuition. Such a heavy burden is also thanks to Changchun for carrying it on his shoulders. Even Lin Haiqing couldn't help saying, "You don't look like the kind of person who beats children." Ankang kept silent, this was a secret between him and his mother.

He remembered very clearly that his parents kept arguing before they separated, and when he heard them raise their throats, they crawled under the table, which made his mother even more angry and insisted on dragging him out from under the table. Well now, there is only mother at home, Qiqi and him have also learned to take care of themselves, and mother can concentrate on going out to do business. He really doesn't understand why adults are noisy all day long. Ankang remembers very clearly that his mother complained about it to herself, and her father watched the TV, unable to listen to a sentence, and in the end, he laughed because of the plot.

After that, they separated. Ankang didn't miss his father, and since then he can sleep until dawn, enjoying the peace happily. Mother was much more loving to Kiki, and she was very dutiful to him, but until recently there was no talking or laughing. Changchun said to his son: "When a boy grows up, he will have his own world. The parents' home cannot keep you, and you will not stay for long. My sister is different. My sister depends on her mother's family all her life. You have to cherish her." Lin Haiqing looked at Ankang who was deep in thought. This little boy is old-fashioned, but he likes his rare sophistication. Many children of the same age are still playing with the armored universal robot.

"Got home." "See you at the store tomorrow." Lin Haiqing drove the car away. Ankang said, "Who is he?" Chang Chun was taken aback, the little boy's tone sounded like a strict father disciplining a prostitute. She answered matter-of-factly, "My new partner in business." Unexpectedly, Ankang glared at his mother, "Remember, the public is the public, and the private is the private." Chang Chun respectfully said, "Yes." Ankang smiled, "He looks like a serious person." Chang Chun let out a "huh", "I hope he is, and Aunt Zhu will check out his details."

Her son said: "You have to be careful, you can't be careless." This sentence seriously hurt Changchun's self-esteem, and she restrained her smile and sense of humor. The next day, Feng Jiyu came to the shop to look for Changchun. Lin Haiqing has always felt that women have a strange mentality. They are full of love, but they always find the wrong partner. When they have troubles, they talk quickly and don't look at the winking audience. It's Zhang San Li Si. The relationship between this Ms. Feng and Changchun is very warm, but they talk and laugh, discuss and discuss. Thankfully his motto is, "Don't mind your own business, especially women's business." Feng Jiyu said: "Lawyer Zhu asked the courier company to deliver the safe deposit box key to my home." "Where did this key come from?" "Song Xiaoyu delivered it to her through Liu Guan Zhang Law Firm." This formula will not come and go for free, and the few of them will definitely receive bills in the future, with astronomical figures, no doubt. "Both attorneys want us to go to the safe deposit box, so let's go." Changchun has always respected pregnant women. "Who is that boy?" "partner." "It's quiet and nice." "The earrings you're wearing were designed by him." Feng Jiyu glanced at Chang Chun, she admired him, but he was a bit younger than her, and it was a thorny road. Chang Chun smiled and said, "It's a little different from what you think, he has another object." Feng Jiyu also smiled. The safe was opened. There were two envelopes in the medium-sized long note box. Feng Jiyu opened one of them, and there was a ring inside. She shook it out, and saw the word Changchun and a date engraved on the inside of the ring. "Your wedding ring." He quickly opened another envelope, which contained the same type of ring, and this one was engraved with the words "Feng Jiyu" on the inside. It is a souvenir of his two marriages. I didn't expect to rent a safe deposit box for two rings so devoutly. "Is there anything else?" Feng Jiyu reached out and took it out, "It's gone." Chang Chun asked, "Where's your wedding ring?" "In a certain drawer," Feng Jiyu asked, "Where's yours?" "I don't keep souvenirs, they're rubbish." "Really, if you remember, you will remember, if you forget, you will forget." They both left the bank. The sun was so hot and dazzling that Feng Jiyu couldn't take it anymore. She gained a lot of weight, and her back was drenched with sweat in an instant. Chang Chun grabbed a taxi for her, and even opened and closed the door for her. Her handsome male companion did not accompany her this time. The bunk next door has been bought and renovation work has begun. The original decoration of the old store remains the same, and it needs to match with the new store. Changchun has seen the drawings and the idea is really good. When I started work, I found that the interior decorator was a girl in her early twenties, wearing a white shirt and khaki pants, and a men's Oyster waterproof watch. Changchun already half understood. The girl's surname is Hu Mingping. It was Lin Haiqing's classmate in the engineering college. Hu Ping likes to chew chewing gum, but he must spit out the sugar residue before talking to Chang Chun. This is like a person who comes out. Changchun paid close attention to the bills she issued, and quietly reviewed each bill, confirming that it was indeed cheap and good. Doing business is essential to guard against others. Hu Ping and Hai Qing didn't show any special affection in public, which was even more commendable. Changchun admired the young couple. She always thought they were a couple, until one day she overheard such a dialogue. Her: "Mom wants to see you very much." He: "It's not that you didn't see that I was busy." She: "If you want to see her, you can always find time." He: "I don't want to talk about family affairs in public." She: "Miss Chang is a reasonable person." Chang Chun was really embarrassed, at that time she was sitting on the desk in the corner of the old shop, separated from them by only a board, although she couldn't see them, she could hear Linglong's dialogue clearly. Hu Ping said sadly, "Haiqing, you must see her, she is already old, her life is getting thinner and thinner like a soap bubble, and it will finally burst and disappear into the air. At that time, you will not be able to see her even if you want to. " Hai Qing said coldly: "I don't think it's a loss. I don't care about what I don't have." Changchun slightly raised his head. Both of them have such strong expressive abilities, they can express their thoughts clearly in words. What is their relationship? Changchun is not used to eavesdropping on other people's secrets, and really wants to leave, but she is in the process of auditing, so it is inconvenient to let go. "Haiqing—" "Needless to say." "I appreciate you introducing this project to me." "That's because you are really good at work, and there is no other reason." Hu calmed down for a while, "There are many good designers in the city." Hai Qing replied, "I happen to know you." Hearing this, Chang Chun was sure that they were not lovers. As soon as a guest came in, Changchun rushed to greet him. It was an old American gentleman with a red face and white hair who was shopping for gifts for his daughter's birthday. Seeing that Chang Chun was wearing a black shirt, he asked her to wear a silver necklace for demonstration. Chang Chun didn't find it bothersome, and showed him one by one. "Perhaps, Mrs. Madam also likes to have one." The guests are very satisfied with this kind of hospitality. Anyway, it costs money, and it must be spent comfortably. He bought two sets of styles carefully designed by Lin Haiqing, and showed Chang Chun the photos of his daughter. "She is beautiful," Chang Chun said, "with the same face as Mrs. Zun." The old man replied, "We have been married for forty years." "Too commendable! From one end to the end?" "Yes, monogamy," the old man cooed, "after two major wars, he never looked at anything wrong, and his mind was never distracted." "You're both extremely lucky." "God has a special care for us." He happily left with a present in his hand. Lin Haiqing was standing beside him at some point, "He will definitely come again next year." "Maybe next year he will go to Tokyo to buy presents." Hai Qing still had a look of resentment on his face. This kid, he has practiced his self-cultivation skills quite well, so it is not easy to see him showing an unhappy expression, this time he seems to be really angry. Changchun, of course, didn't say a word about it. Hai Qing was silent all day long. Back home, Changchun said to his sister who was visiting, "How does it feel to be married for forty years?" "That depends on what forty years it's like." "Of course, the 40 years spent just to live are insignificant. It's too much like a career as a civil servant." "The two people I imagined have become one." "If one party leaves early, wouldn't it be miserable?" Chang Xia laughed, "That's why we say that there is a fly in the ointment in the world, so I believe it now." "Would you like to celebrate your fortieth wedding anniversary?" "Barely no happiness." Chang Chun said: "Being able to be with a person for forty years must have some advantages for that person." Chang Xia turned her head and thought for a while, "You also have to benefit from it." "Of course, two people are needed to dance tango." "This is impossible in today's world. First, you have to get married early. Second, you have to be patient and self-cultivated first-class. Also, you have to put yourself at the end of your free time, but you are willing to stand up when it matters. To be cannon fodder, in other words, to have a spirit of sacrifice." Chang Chun laughed. "Are you willing?" "Ken, but not for people, but for myself." "A happily married tenth anniversary is a miracle today." "And you, are you happy?" Chang Chun asked her sister. "I'm not unhappy." "A child's smiling face always makes your heart go wild, doesn't it?" "That's my flesh and blood. If there's anything to do, you must drag the child away first." Forty years of marriage! You don't need to get married, as long as you can get along with someone for forty years, it doesn't matter if he is a partner or a sister. When sending Chang Xia out, he ran into Lin Haiqing. "I'm sorry I don't have an appointment," he said. Chang Chun knew that he had something on his mind to complain, so she smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, my ears are idle anyway." Chang Xia glanced at Lin Haiqing and remained silent. This kind of young man is the most dangerous, with a tense and tortuous vitality. When caught up with electricity, his whole body trembles, and he may turn into coke, but charcoal is just charcoal. Chang Xia looked at his sister again, Chang Chun may need to burn. After she left, Hai Qing sat down. He was covered in sweat, with a wet V on his chest. He asked for a glass of beer, and while drinking, he considered how to speak. In fact, Chang Chun can express his doubts in a few words, but she has always been good-natured, and she only waits for the client to confide. Hai Qing finally said: "Hu Ping's surname is Hu, and my surname is Lin." "nonsense." "Just like Ankang's surname is An, and Qiqi's surname is Zhang." Changchun smiled. "We are in the same situation." Chang Chun didn't take it seriously, "Wrong, Ankang loves his mother and sister very much." Lin Haiqing blushed. After a moment he said, "You already knew." "I'm fairly sensitive." "My mother wants to see me." "Why don't you go for an interview?" "I hate her." "childish." "You do not understand--" "childish!" Lin Haiqing let out a long sigh and drank the cold beer in one gulp. Chang Chun poured him another cup. "You don't have good ears," he protested. "Sorry, I don't like your talk." "Not every mother is like you, Changchun." "What's so special about me? You ask Ankang, I beat and scold children, and I also vent my anger on them." "But you are with them." "Everyone's circumstances are different. You need to be considerate. Now that you are an adult, you are expected to achieve fame and fortune. Why worry about it?" Lin Haiqing drank all the beer again. "You're going to punish her, but you're also punishing yourself." "There's nothing to say between us." "Take a radio and make a sound." Lin Haiqing smiled. At this moment, Ankang ran over to sit between the two of them, coughed, and flipped through the magazines. "Go, listen to your sister, go to see your mother, sit for five minutes the first time, and ten minutes the second time, the more you do, the more you will get used to it." When Ankang heard this, he was very relieved. It turned out that they really had something to say, and what they said was serious. Lin Haiqing protested: "It's easier said than done." "Of course," Changchun said, "otherwise why does everyone need courage?" "I will consider." "Don't think too much, lift your legs and go right away." "I don't want to forgive her so easily." Chang Chun laughed and laughed at him: "You blind and vindictive person, leave my house quickly." "I'd like to have another drink." Chang Chun stood up, "Ankang, you greet this brother." Ankang put down the magazine, took out half a dozen cans of beer, sympathized with him and said, "Drink your fill, why, are you having trouble with your mother?" Haiqing is willing to learn from her little brother, "Tell me, Ankang, how do you get along with your mother and sister?" Ankang answered with a high spirit: "Women are unreasonable, don't talk to them about principles and reason." Hai Qing was startled, "Then what are you talking about?" "Accommodating." Ankang winked at him. Hai Qing said: "You have to leave this home when you grow up." "Of course, but I will see my mother and sister from time to time." "why?" "Because they are my closest relatives." "No, because Ling Tang is indeed a respectable person." Chang Chun came out, saw them both, and said in surprise, "Hai Qing, are you still here? Kang'er, help brother wash his head in the washing machine, maybe his mind will clear up." Hai Qing stood up and said helplessly, "I'm leaving." Ankang sent him to the door and told him: "Men should protect women, and men should treat women well." Hai Qing sincerely thanked: "Your advice is very useful." Chang Chun probed and asked, "Going away?" Ankang said to his mother, "Maybe his mother really made him angry." Chang Chun sighed, "Maybe, but the lost childhood has been lost forever. He has grown up and turned into a big man. It's better to forgive his mother and make it easier for himself." Ankang raised his head, "Mom, will you get married again?" Chang Chun said with certainty: "No." "What if there is a good partner?" Ankang is quite enlightened. Changchun laughed. She has a feeling that she has survived, and she can actually talk to her children about her marriage. "That's it for today." Two days later, Changchun asked Haiqing: "Have you ever returned home?" Hai Qing shook her head. "Cattle!" Hu Ping smiled melancholy in the other corner. The two stores finally opened up. Chang Chun said to Hu Ping, "I still don't want to congratulate your brother on his great achievements." Hu Ping smiled lightly, "He doesn't necessarily recognize me as a younger sister." Lin Haiqing sneered, "My dad just gave birth to me." Chang Chun hurriedly changed the topic, "There is a hundred feet more space, and it looks like a thousand feet more grand." She regretted talking too much, it was the family business of the two brothers and sisters, why should she overestimate herself and want to be Lu Zhonglian. Zhu Zhiliang came to see it, "The decoration is very thoughtful, how about introducing that expert to me, I am about to move." Chang Chun was very happy to hand over Hu Ping's card to Zhu Zhiliang, and Lin Haiqing looked on, although he didn't make a sound, but his eyes showed a look of relief. He obviously cared about his sister. Zhu Zhiliang asked Hu Ping to discuss business, and called Chang Chun. Chang Chun wanted to express his gratitude to Hu Ping and was happy to attend the meeting. When I arrived at the cafe, I found that Zhu Nu was sitting there alone. "Where is Miss Hu?" Zhu Nu smirked to the other side, Chang Chun glanced and saw Hu Ping sitting at another table, and the female guest opposite her was an acquaintance Song Xiaoyu. Zhu Nu laughed and said, "The world is really small, isn't it?" Chang Chun asked, "Are they classmates?" "It's more than that simple." Chang Chun was embarrassed to inquire into other people's secrets, but she also expressed surprise: "Huh?" "Just now when Miss Hu saw Miss Song, she actually called her sister." elder sister?Changchun raised his head. Hastily calculated with the human brain and computer, oh, did Lin Haiqing and Hu Ping's mother have married three times? Zhu Nu said: "Everyone's life experience is a story." At this time Song Xiaoyu also saw them, and nodded from Yuanyuan. Chang Chun smiled and asked Zhu Nu: "Tell me, does everyone know everyone in this city?" "It's so strange, the place is so small, and the relationship between people is so complicated." At this time Hu Ping came back. She said generously, "So you know my sister." Seeing Changchun's embarrassed expression, he added: "We are related by marriage. My mother recently married her father, Mr. Song." Only now did Changchun understand the reason why Lin Haiqing refused to see her mother. Preconceived ideas, people always think that mothers are mostly white clothed, lonely old women who hope to wait for their children to return home for relief. They did not expect that many women can still be coquettish after being mothers several times. Hu Ping continued, "Mr. Song has always taken good care of me. My brother doesn't appreciate it. He never bothers to see the Song family." Chang Chun laughed. Only she knew that Lin Haiqing was secretly paying attention to everything, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to Song Xiaoyu's art exhibition. He also cared about his mother. Changchun didn't make a sound at the moment. Hu Ping said: "I only want my mother to be happy." He lowered his head and sighed. Changchun was very moved, and she hoped that Ankang and Qiqi would be so understanding to her. Hu Ping raised his head, "Hai Qing still refuses to see her mother." Chang Chun looked around and asked, "How is Lawyer Zhu's house?" "I'd like to make an appointment to take a look." Zhu Nu smiled, "I'll take you there now." I wonder if Song Xiaoyu wants her father to be happy. They are the first generation of victims of their parents' remarriage. An Kang Qiqi is already a rising star in this generation and has to get used to it. That afternoon, Changchun received a call from Song Xiaoyu. Changchun said: "I can't leave, do you want to come down to the house to talk? Four o'clock in the afternoon is my little girl's nap time, I can spare time." Changchun's time is no longer her own time. Day and night are divided into sections, sections, section by section. She has to see everything at a glance, endure humiliation at all costs, respect children in everything, and listen to them. At the same time, try to rest as much as possible in the remaining time, take care of all personal affairs and earn money to support the family.However, she is not considered a good wife and mother, because she was married twice. Song Xiaoyu came to visit this time, and his expression was very kind, which was very different from before. As soon as she came in she said, "I didn't know you were with my stepmother's son." Xiao Ankang has smooth ears, so he doesn't move immediately, listening to what the adults have to say. Chang Chun quickly clarified: "You misunderstood, Lin Haiqing and I are partners, and I treat him like a brother, which is very different from the rumors you heard." Ankang let out a sigh of relief. Song Xiaoyu was silent, and after a while she said: "He is an outstanding person, and most of the ladies in the city are proud to wear the jewelry he designed." Chang Chun smiled, "It's not that powerful." "My father desperately hopes that he can reconcile with his mother." "Slowly there is always a chance to dissolve." Song Xiaoyu nodded, "Just like that, I suddenly have a pair of outstanding brothers and sisters." Chang Chun replied: "It would be great if we could be friends." Song Xiaoyu smiled wryly, "I already have ten or eight half-brothers and half-sisters who are in-laws. They walked together, and they couldn't tell who was who. Come out and live in a single family, looking clean and refreshing." Chang Chun had no choice but to laugh along with him. "I would most like to have a home of my own." Chang Chun followed her up: "And vowed to marry only once." Song Xiaoyu was surprised, "How do you know?" Changchun couldn't help laughing. Song Xiaoyu also laughed, "And I was the one who got married ten times." "Don't curse yourself." "No, no, that's nothing. The difficulty lies in how to properly handle the children brought by the previous marriage." Chang Chun was a bit paranoid and kept silent. "I'm not talking about you, you're a good mother." Changchun doesn't strike up a conversation. "How is Ms. Feng? When will you give birth?" "About autumn." The two were silent for another moment. Song Xiaoyu must have a purpose for coming here. If she doesn't say anything, Chang Chun won't try to trick her, but she understands that she is definitely not here to talk about Lin Haiqing this time. Sure enough, she let out a sigh of relief, "I'm talking gossip, but I forgot the serious things." Chang Chun still didn't ask. "The house was sold, and the money was sent to Lawyer Liu Guanzhang. I will notify Lawyer Zhu tomorrow and ask her to split the money and pay it to sisters Zhang Qi and Zhang Yu." Chang Chun was surprised, raised his eyes, and stared at Song Xiaoyu. Song Xiaoyu said softly: "I guess this is his real wish." Changchun was silent. "He also has a fixed deposit, and I will do the same when it matures." Chang Chun couldn't help it: "Trickle down to the public?" "No, I still have some good memories." Song Xiaoyu smiled. Chang Chun originally wanted to thank her on behalf of the child, but then realized that this was actually the inheritance that the two girls deserved, so she just said politely: "Your decision is wise." Song Xiaoyu replied: "I also believe so." Chang Chun looked up and found that Ankang had gone back to his room, obviously knowing that the topic had nothing to do with him. After a while Song Xiaoyu said: "Life must be very difficult for you." She just pointed out a fact, not out of pity, so Changchun didn't intend to defend herself, but said gently: "I'm used to it, it suits what I like, and it's fun, like hugging a child after taking out the key to open the door before getting off work There is seldom another relationship that is as deep and as long-lasting." "But they're going to grow up and leave after all." "We are only here to live in this world temporarily." "You and Ms. Feng love life." Changchun smiled. She suddenly said something from the bottom of her heart to Song Xiaoyu: "When I was very young, I was a reader of Children's Paradise. I read a story like this: two wives met, and A showed off to B the precious jewels on his body." , B only smiled, hugged the two children in his arms, and said proudly: They are my jewels! It is not until today that I believe the story is true." Song Xiaoyu immediately said: "The streets and alleys in the world are full of children." Changchun responded: "Jewels are full of pits and valleys." Changchun finally won a beautiful trick. "I admire your courage." "It's innate. It was planted in the genetic factors early on, but it's just taken out and applied after adulthood. For an ordinary woman like me, it's difficult for me to live an extraordinary life and not eat the fireworks of the world." Song Xiaoyu was speechless. Changchun sent her out. Song Xiaoyu said: "I didn't take out the inheritance at the beginning, not because I was greedy for material things." "of course not." Song Xiaoyu lowered her head, "It feels like I'm a person with nothing, only he gives me some vision, I want to grasp that feeling." Chang Chun was silent. "I'm the loneliest person in the world." Chang Chun gently persuaded: "No, when you have a family in the future, you will beg your children to give you half a day of silence." Song Xiaoyu smiled, "Will I be lucky enough to have that day?" "of course." Her requirements are not high, as can be seen from Zhang Jiajun. Chang Chun said, "I wish you good luck." "The same to you." They shook hands tightly. After Song Xiaoyu left, Chang Chun gently sat down on the sofa.
