Chapter 185: Approaching Warmth
I do not feel inferior because of poverty, but because I do not receive the most love.
This kind of Geng Xiaoqing made Tong feel sad again.
That Saturday, Tong Tong did not do business and did not go to ask Professor Bai for advice. They spent a day and a half in Lin City, and on Sunday afternoon, they reluctantly embarked on the way home.
Before leaving, Wu Hailan took Geng Xiaoqing's hand and said, "You are indeed a very excellent girl. I hope my Qianqian loves studying as much as you. However, as an elder, I don't want you to work too hard, and I don't want you to separate from Tong Tong. You must consider carefully the future."
In just one day and a half, Wu Hailan had seen Geng Xiaoqing's thoughts through - she was unwilling to stay in the port city, and she was trying every means to find opportunities to return to her original place. It was strange that Geng Xiaoqing was not unhappy this time. She nodded and said, "Aunt Lan, I will weigh it. Tong Tong will always be my most important person, don't worry about this."
Wu Hailan hugged them separately: "Although I'm very busy, I really don't want you to leave. It would be great if you could stay here for a long time."
Geng Xiaoqing said: "I don't want to leave either. To be honest, this is the first time I have experienced the warmth of home since I was a child."
As he was talking, Geng Xiaoqing's eyes turned red again. Tong Tong had never seen her express her true feelings, nor had she ever seen her desire for family affection. In addition, Wu Hailan not only bought her clothes, but also took them to travel around and eat the most famous delicacies in Lin City. Geng Xiaoqing's cervical spine was not good, so Wu Hailan generously gave her a massager for Tong Tong to supervise her use.
Tong Tong was also shocked by Wu Hailan's series of operations. He thought Wu Hailan had a bad impression of Geng Xiaoqing, but in fact he was not that. Wu Hailan quietly told him that after all, Geng Xiaoqing is also a poor girl. If no one loves her, she will not learn to love others. As long as she treats her well, she will become warm.
During the visiting Wu Hailan's house, Geng Xiaoqing competed to go to the kitchen to help, help the aunt, and wash dishes... Wu Hailan saw all these. She told Tong Tong: "Some of Geng Xiaoqing's practices are very similar to those of me when I was a child. I was the eldest in the family, and most of my parents' energy was on my younger brothers and sisters. In order to gain their attention, I also tried my best to please them like her. Until the summer vacation of the ten-year-old, I went to my aunt--that's house. Your grandma's family was in good condition and was very good to me. I was afraid that such a good day would end early, so I tried my best to perform well. Cook, wash, mop the floor,
I would help with the housework I could do. At that time, your grandma held my hand and told me, Hailan, you are still a child and a little guest in our family, and the guests did not need to do it. You work like this, making me feel uncomfortable as the master. I was honest and told your grandma that I was afraid that I would not work, so the adults would not like me. Your grandma took me into my arms and told me that my aunt loved you, either because you worked or because you were my aunt's nephew. You, just like Shanshan, eat, drink and have fun every day, and live a relaxed and happy life here, and my aunt would be happier than now."
As he spoke, Wu Hailan also had real feelings: "I am so strong, but I unknowingly developed the habit of pleasing others. Isn't Geng Xiaoqing the same? I'm lucky than her that I have had a kind aunt who loved me since I was a child and a good sister treats me well, so I lived a happy life and learned to take care of others. Last night I figured out that I can't be so harsh to your girlfriend. More importantly, love her well."
Tong Tong was also moved when he heard these words. No wonder Wu Hailan remembered Shu Yunkai's various preferences and every bit of Zeng Haiming... She is a careful elder sister who takes care of everyone domineeringly and gentlely.
Although Tong Tong was also greedy for the warmth of this family, he had to go back and make money. He said goodbye to Wu Hailan and said, "You spent a lot of money on this trip. I feel embarrassed to live here again."
"As it said, I am already over fifty years old, and my desire to spend money is very low. Isn't it just for you children to make money? The more you spend for you, the more you are willing to come, right? If you want to go back to work, I won't force you to keep you. But you have to promise me that you must come back and see you often."
Tong Tong and Geng Xiaoqing agreed, and on the way back, they kept talking about Wu Hailan's goodness. Geng Xiaoqing said that Qian Qian is really good. With such a good mother, she had a quarrel with her before, but she was spoiled.
However, she said enviously: "It is also a kind of capital to be spoiled."
As soon as they passed the Port City toll station, Wu Hailan called and said that he had stuffed two thousand yuan into Tong Tong's backpack. "Tong Tong, don't be too busy to refuse. You can treat these two thousand yuan as my meeting gift to Geng Xiaoqing, or as my pocket money for you. After all, you have been to visit relatives and delayed the business for two days. I, an aunt, can't let you lose money!"
Tong Tong became anxious when he heard this: "Auntie, I'll go see you. You have delayed your work. How can I give you your losses?"
Wu Hailan said with a smile: "I feel very good when you come to see me like this. I can't buy it for no amount of money."
"...so is me. I can be happy for at least half a year when I go to your house to be a guest."
"Then, you should treat this two thousand yuan as my meeting gift to Geng Xiaoqing. OK, don't talk too much. My yoga instructor is here, I'm going to exercise."
Tong Tong found a service area to park the car, opened the trunk, and it was full of food prepared by Wu Hailan for the two of them. Tong Tong moved a lot of things before finding his backpack. Sure enough, he found two thousand yuan in it.
My aunt did this, and she was really similar to her biological mother.
The two of them were speechless, and Geng Xiaoqing hugged Tong Tong: "We will be so kind to Aunt Lan in the future."
In his life, Geng Xiaoqing had the second time that he had the idea of being good to others. When it comes to the first time, of course, he wanted to be kind to Tong Tong.
To her, Tong Tong is her own person. Except Tong Tong, everyone else is "outsider". She had the idea of being good to outsiders, which was a great progress. Tong Tong was very pleased with this.
After returning to the port city, Tong Tong went to the gym to take a look. Gao Xiaobao had just finished class for the children. Guoguo originally planned to go home to do her homework, but when she saw Tong Tong, she changed her attention and hung it on Tong Tong and acted coquettishly.
Geng Xiaoqing was very tired and went to the room to rest for a while. However, when she thought of Guoguo, she still went to the convenience store next door to buy ice cream. Guoguo cheered, and Geng Xiaoqing seemed a little embarrassed and told them not to make noise, she wanted to sleep for a while.
Guoguo whispered to Tong Tong: "Sister Xiaoqing has changed!"
"Why has it changed?"
"She can laugh!" Guoguo clapped her hands and said, "When she smiles, I'm not afraid of her!"
It seems that Geng Xiaoqing's changes are still very obvious. Guoguo got ice cream and started writing his homework happily. Tong Tong originally planned to scold Su Zilong, but in front of Guoguo, he was embarrassed to swear. Gao Xiaobao said that the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow this. This time he hit the car and dared to hit someone next time.
"Uncle Niu was hit like that," Tong Tong said: "Although there is no evidence, I believe in my intuition that the car accident was artificial."
Guoguo licked the ice cream and interrupted, "Who is Uncle Niu? Is my dad?"
"Well, it's your dad. Your dad is a brave people's policeman."
Guoguo jumped happily: "Yes, my father is a big hero. Every time someone comes to see him, he will say that. But my father has never done anything big... My mother said that he is a very ordinary person, but others say that he has done a lot of good things, not ordinary at all, and is a brave person. When I grow up, I will be a person like him."
Hu Wenjuan told Tong Tong once that Guoguo was bullied by his classmates at school. A girl probably had to be bullied by Guoguo in everything because of her superior family background. Considering that Guoguo is the daughter of a policeman, the teacher asked her to give a "speak under the national flag". The little girl was very angry and said sarcastically: "You got this opportunity because of your father, right?"
Guoguo was embarrassed, and other children asked, what happened to Niu Yingguo's father? The little girl pretended to be surprised: "Don't you know? Niu Yingguo's father is a policeman or a hero! However, he was seriously injured and became a vegetable - isn't it, Niu Yingguo?"
Guoguo cried on the spot, and the crying alarmed the teacher. Fortunately, the teacher had a sense of justice and presided over the justice for Guoguo. He also comforted him: "Although your father has become a vegetable, he is indeed a hero. As his daughter, the teacher and the school have the responsibility to take good care of you and cultivate you into an ordinary and excellent person like him."
Just because the teacher said this, Hu Wenjuan was so moved that she burst into tears and almost knelt down to the teacher. Hu Wenjuan asked Guoguo if she would be angry with her father? Because her father had never done anything for her.
Unexpectedly, Guoguo said proudly: "Who said it? He did a lot of good things for others, so I won't be angry with him. When I grow up, I will also be a policeman!"
After listening to this story, Tong Tong was both moved and sad. Thinking of this, he called Guoguo over, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, my brother won't let your father lie in vain for so long. I will find out the truth and give him justice."
Guoguo said innocently: "Then, do you want to be a policeman?"
Tong Tong laughed silently. He shaved Guoguo's nose and said, "Except for one uncle, you are another person who urged me to be a policeman."
"My mother said, actually your personality is very suitable for being a policeman. Last time you went to school to pick me up, my good friend also said, Niu Yingguo, is your brother a policeman?"
Gao Xiaobao covered his face and smiled: "It seems that you still can't get rid of your previous fate. In order to avenge you, you should indeed be a policeman."
