Chapter 10 The baby is sick
Spring is coming, but the baby is sick and loses weight quickly. There is no pet hospital in the small county town. Dr. Chen above gave it an injection based on his feelings. Chen Chunyan was afraid that the cat would have an infectious disease, so she put it in a carton.
At noon, Bellzi finished school but didn't see the baby. Ji Xueying said, "That cat is dead, just so I won't worry about affecting your studies!"
Lingzi burst into tears, but didn't eat for two meals. Chen Chunyan saw it and wanted to speak but stopped.
In the middle of the night, Bell couldn't sleep, and it always sounded like the baby was calling. She thought she was probably thinking about it crazy.
It was dawn until dawn. When Lingzi was in school, she passed by the hut that was putting miscellaneous items. It was a small wooden house built by Li Yibai on the top of the house. Half of it contained miscellaneous items and the other half was regarded as a chicken coop.
Lingzi really heard the baby's screams. She opened the door desperately, and her baby was screaming sadly inside.
Lingzi hugged the cat in her arms and tears fell down. At that moment, she really hated Ji Xueying.
The baby slowly got better and returned to his former liveliness. Suzuko was so happy. Ji Xueying didn't explain anything to her, and Suzuko didn't ask. She felt that she had grown up.
It's strange that Aunt Zhang's old cat has disappeared since the New Year. Liu Lili said that she might have run away with other cats, or she might have died at a place when she was too old. When she said this, Liu Lili was extremely calm. Lingzi felt quite puzzled. Why did she have no feelings for her cats that had been raising for so many years?
Two weeks later, the baby's illness fell again. This time, Ji Xueying was very attentive and wanted to take the baby to the veterinary station to take him to see him. Lingzi was a little suspicious, but there was no way to stop him. She could only watch Ji Xueying put the cat in a cardboard box and took it away.
After returning, Ji Xueying told Lingzi that the baby had been left behind and she wanted to observe. Lingzi was a little suspicious but didn't say anything. This time, even Chen Chunyan helped Ji Xueying speak, and Lingzi had no reason to say anything.
A few days later, news of the baby's loss came, and Suzuko sneered and said, "I knew it a long time ago, you'll throw it away that night!"
Ji Xueying was furious: "Li Lingzi, you are not polite at all now, what do you say to you!"
"Hmph!" Reinko turned her head and went back to her room, slamming the door.
From that day on, Lingzi stopped talking to Ji Xueying. Only one day, Aunt Liu on the upper floor came to deliver the baby. It turned out that after the baby was abandoned, he found it in more than ten days, but he walked into the wrong building and ran to Aunt Liu's house.
Fortunately, everyone knew that it was Lingzi's heart-wrenching baby, so they sent it back. The baby was dirty and thin, and his screams were hoarse. Lingzi hugged the cat tightly without crying. Instead, Chen Chunyan's eyes turned red, and she went out without saying anything.
The food Chen Chunyan prepared for the baby was a big fish and a glass of milk, which was considered grandma's apology.
"Lingzi, grandma..." Chen Chunyan looked at Lingzi with eyes wide open, trying to explain something.
"Grandma, you don't need to explain. I know you were forced to do anything. Ji Xueying forced you to lie, right?"
"You kid, don't be so rude to call him a name. Your mother is also doing it for your own good. Grandma knows that you like cats, but no matter how much you like it, she is still a beast. Besides, she is afraid that the cat will give you and Xiaobo the disease." Chen Chunyan explained with great effort.
"Grandma, stop talking, mainly because I'm afraid Xiaobo will be infected and sick." Suzuko sneered.
"Jinghu said, Xiaobo rarely teases cats. You just hug them all day long. Although your mother has a bad temper, she still loves you."
"Tsk!" Linzi turned his head aside.
Chen Chunyan sighed.
But the baby did not get better anymore. It was no longer the clean and lovable little thing. She looked lazy all day long and dirty. Lingzi saw it and hurt her heart, but she was powerless and could only watch the baby weaken day by day.
While Ji Xueying and Chen Chunyan were not around, Lingzi still held it, hugged it, and even kissed it secretly, but the baby looked very cold. He probably knew that he was not popular and hid all day long without anyone finding it, and even Lingzi could not find it.
Finally one Sunday, Ji Xueying brought an aunt to him. She was said to be able to save the baby. She would treat the cat, but she wanted to take it away and go to the countryside. Ji Xueying had already prepared a big rhetoric. If Lingzi dared to resist, Ji Xueying would be ready to beat her up!
Unexpectedly, Lingzi didn't say anything, silently searched for the baby, and finally found it from behind a pile of honeycomb coal. It still looked at Lingzi quietly with a sad look.
Lingzi's heart was broken. She knew that this was a farewell, but she didn't even have tears. She quietly wiped its dirty face, then handed it to Ji Xueying, and went out.
That day, Lingzi sat by the railway for a long time. Various wild flowers were blooming in the fields in the distance. The spring wind was warm, but Lingzi couldn't feel any warmth at all. Her heart was cold, just like the baby's cold little paws.
"Baby, maybe you will see your mother soon..." Lingzi was thinking randomly, and tears flowed down unknowingly.
In the future, there will be good news that Ji Xueying keeps coming. The baby can start to eat, he starts to gain weight, and he is much better. Suzuko is not happy at all. She is just waiting for the final ending. She knows what the last news that Ji Xueying is coming.
She knows, knows...
Tacitly speaking, no one mentioned the baby again. Lingzi went to school and got off school like nothing happened. Even in front of Liu Lili, Lingzi no longer mentioned the baby. But she liked to be idle more than before, and her studies were not as proactive as before, and her grades declined again.
In ten years, maybe I will become a beautiful girl
Long hair is fluttering, and a charming smile
In ten years, maybe I will become a hardworking worker
Sweat and create value
In ten years, maybe I will become a rich boss
Invest in public welfare and benefit society
But no matter how it changes
I'm still me
That loves life and hometown
I love my family
When I grew up
Want a spacious and bright house
My family lives in the house
my sweetheart
And my "baby"
Oh, don't get me wrong
That's a cute cat
Ten years, it witnessed my growth process
Ten years, it looks at me step by step
Ten years, it has accompanied me all the way
Ten years have seen me grow from a weak seedling to a towering tree
Ten years later
I still
Have more dreams!
Lingzi looked out the window, the birds on the big poplar tree jumped around, and the poem floated in her mind bit by bit, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Bang!"
A piece of chalk head flew over and was hitting Linzi's forehead, which scared her.
