Yuan Xueqin was in good spirits at the moment. After hearing Yuan Qian say that she had already eaten, she simply sat down and told Yuan Qian many interesting and interesting things she had seen.
"Mom, I didn't expect that you met so many interesting people when you were young." Yuan Qian sighed with emotion. In her heart, she said: If she hadn't met her nominal father, she might be living a very happy life now. Bar.
But life, there are so many ifs.
"Qian Qian. When you see more in the future, you will know how vast the world is. The further you go and the more you see, the more people will be generous and tolerant. Mom believes that Qian Qian will grow up to be very good and well-behaved." Yuan Qian rubbed Yuan Qian's hair and considered it for a long time. Yuan Xueqin then tentatively continued: "Qian Qian, you see mom is fine. Why don't mom be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon? Someone should also watch the small shop at home. No. Mom has a hard life. Now that it has stopped, she is not used to it. Qian Qian. You still have to go to school, so don’t delay your studies. Okay?"
After all, she gave birth to her daughter by herself. How could Yuan Xueqin not know what kind of temper Yuan Qian was. After asking this question, she saw Yuan Qian's expression change suddenly. "Mom, I don't agree."
Maybe the objection was too direct. Yuan Qian began to understand. "Mom, can you listen to me? You stay in the hospital. Qianqian can take care of other things. Mom, don't let it. Qian Qian is worried. Don't scare Qian Qian, okay. Mom is the best mother in the world. Qian Qian wants to see her mother safe and sound."
There were suppressed tears of stubbornness in her eyes. Yuan Qian stared so persistently at Yuan Xueqin's slightly weathered eyes until the latter sighed helplessly and nodded indifferently.
"Qianqian. Mom just doesn't want my baby to work too hard. Qianqian, mom only has you." Holding her daughter's thin body, Yuan Xueqin murmured in a low voice. It was like a requiem ringing in the silent night.
Yuan Qian's heart, which was originally hanging high in the sky, suddenly fell to the ground and finally stabilized.
After all, she was still a patient. After the nurse came over to give her a routine check-up, Yuan Xueqin thought about taking a rest. She was old and her body was not as good as before. She was obviously not even fifty, but she was living like a seventeen-year-old. Like a grandma.
Yuan Qian carefully tucked her mother into bed and then left quietly.
Shang Shuze took everything in his eyes from beginning to end. Although he could not know the specific content of the conversation between the mother and daughter, he could see the stupid, stupid and stubborn little girl taking care of his baby so carefully. Mother. He didn't know why, but he was very touched in his heart. He didn't want to laugh, but he still put on such a lively and optimistic attitude. This girl...
Yuan Qian was a little surprised by Shang Shuze's presence. What was he waiting for outside the ward to visit patients? But her mother didn't recognize him.
Her pink lips twitched a few times. Yuan Qian finally asked: "Instructor, are you okay?"
"My name is Shang Shuze." Shang Shuze suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly and said seriously: "The military training is about to end. There is only one final military parade left. You don't need to call me instructor. After all, you are not participating in the military parade. .”
The military parade ceremony is the final ceremony of previous military training. Each company selects about a few students to participate. In the military parade ceremony, the participating students form a temporary platoon. They will walk around the parade ground or walk in step, or carry models. They either had guns or empty hands. There were many people in charge, and the principle was voluntary. Therefore, the vast majority of students did not participate. Yuan Qian was one of the vast majority.
"Instructor, I don't understand what you mean." Maybe she did. She was just used to calling her "instructor" and suddenly had to change her words. She really didn't know how to call her.
Shang Shuze looked at Yuan Qian thoughtfully for a few times. The latter simply nodded towards him, and then ran away in a panic. For some reason, the instructor's eyes just now made her a little uneasy.
Yuan Qian returned to her family's shop. After adding food, she started to eat. She left some side dishes for herself. As for the soup, she only prepared her mother's portion. Speaking of which, the soup at noon was also a small expense. But for Yuan Qian now To put it simply, it is better to save as much convenience as possible. She does not feel that such living conditions are bitter. The only bitter thing is that her mother cannot stand in front of her in good health.
The rice was still warm, but the dishes were a little cold. The shop was open. Suddenly someone came in without saying hello.
Shang Shuze put the lunch he bought on the dining table. It was obvious that he wanted to eat it with Yuan Qian. "I haven't eaten yet. I'm hungry. I scoop it here and eat it with you."
Ignoring Yuan Qian's embarrassment, Shang Shuze took out the lunch box and the bowl of fragrant soup after finishing speaking.
Yuan Qian ate a little hastily. She couldn't figure out what Shang Shuze was thinking. At this moment, she just wanted to finish eating and leave. This was obviously her home, and she was the owner here.
Frowning, Shang Shuze picked out the ribs from the dish and stuffed them onto Yuan Qian's bowl without ceremony. "Well, I don't like eating this. Eat it. Don't waste it."
Then he pushed the soup in front of Yuan Qian. "I'll give this to you too. I'm not used to drinking soup made by anyone other than my mother."
Yuan Qian: "..."
I wanted to give the thing back, but the other person frowned countless times during the meal, as if he was facing something that was difficult to swallow.
Instructor, he is not that picky about his food, right? Yuan Qian is not sure.
"The food in this store is not delicious. I will never buy it again." After lunch, Shang Shuze commented nonchalantly. It really looked like he didn't like the food. He definitely didn't. I know, the chef of a well-known restaurant will definitely cry when he hears him say this.
Yuan Qian buried her head. After all, she gnawed those ribs. She ate very gracefully. She even took small sips when drinking soup.
Touching her belly, Yuan Qian felt that she had caught up to the point where she was going to die. It turned out that she wanted to stop eating, but the man on the other side just stared at her. It was clear that he was supervising whether she was wasting food. She She also wanted to ask what she would do with the things the instructor bought if she wasn't here. But in the end, she shut up sadly.
Yuan Qian is not stupid. Although Shang Shuze's caring method is a bit clumsy, she can feel it. Because she understands, she is even more afraid. She dare not listen to the care that may be revealed in his mouth. She is Qian Qian. Don't be greedy. Don't be attached to other people's shallowness...
In the morning, Shang Shuze disturbed the situation. At this moment, Yuan Qian was in a state of confusion. She didn't know whether she should go to work in Sister Si's shop. But she did need money.
Shang Shuze suddenly took out a painting. In the painting was Yuan Qian, who was half-naked on the back.
When Yuan Qian saw the scene in the painting for the first time, her face was as red as a shrimp. It was so spicy.
"It's very beautiful." Shang Shuze suddenly commented. He even put his hand to the pink shoulder of the person in the painting with a little naughtyness, and rubbed it intentionally or unintentionally.
Yuan Qian didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her. Her shoulders felt hot. She was secretly annoyed at her sensitivity. Her face was slightly cold. The gratitude in her eyes slowly cooled down. She raised her head and faced it. Shang Shuze's handsome face made her confused. "Instructor, what do you mean?"
Shang Shuze suddenly pulled Yuan Qian in front of him, and then forced her to look at himself in the painting. "Qianqian, tell me, are you pretty in the painting? Well, answer me."
Hearing the undoubted words in Shang Shuze's words, Yuan Qian felt annoyed. More importantly, she didn't know why. She didn't understand. She didn't understand why the man asked this. She didn't want to understand...
"Qianqian, don't you think the picture of you in the painting is very seductive. It makes people have the urge to commit crimes." That sister really knows how to capture the camera. But with just a few dozen strokes, a woman can appear on the page with all her charm. Vivid. Vivid.
Yuan Qian had already answered the question. She couldn't move away. She simply closed her eyes. "Instructor, I don't understand what you mean."
"You said that if people buy this painting of yours, is it because of the artistic value of the painting? Or because they have some special thoughts about the people in the painting. You see, the people in the painting are so beautiful. It makes people want to I have the urge to lift up that shawl and see your whole body clearly." At this point, she was a little angry. What on earth was thinking in this woman's head? This innocent girl. Could it be that she painted it? These paintings are so good for others to just imagine.
Yuan Qian felt that the topic had changed. Her eyelashes trembled. Her tone was filled with uncertainty and her voice was low. "No one knows that it's me."
"I know." Shang Shuze suddenly yelled in Yuan Qian's ear. "You are not allowed to do such a job in the future. Isn't it so good to take off your clothes and have others look at you? Fortunately, this time it is a woman. If it were different, When you become a male painter, do you also want to be naked and let others comment and appreciate you? Do you know what it means that the world is hard and people's hearts are not ancient?"
Such a scolding made Yuan Qian instantly feel a pain in her heart. She lowered her head. She looked at the enchanting herself in the painting. There was a sudden bitterness between her lips and teeth. There were deep and shallow glimmers in her eyes. Flashing. But it would be too cowardly for her not to cry. This is her own choice. She can’t blame anyone. She doesn’t want to cry.
Shang Shuze put away the painting. Then he raised Yuan Qian's chin. His simple and delicate face looked a little dull and tired at the moment. Suddenly he couldn't bear to say any more hurtful words. "Girl, you I need money. I know. But there is no need to use your own..." The word 'body' is somewhat inappropriate. Shang Shuze did not say it. Instead, he said: "Have you ever thought about asking the school for help."
It wasn't that he couldn't help her directly. He was just afraid that he would scare her away. Shang Shuze never thought that he would be so hesitant. But at this moment, he was trying so hard to maintain the self-esteem of the woman in front of him.
