Before school on Monday, Qiao Xiaomai was waiting at the door early. When Xiaobai saw her, she was not as enthusiastic as before and a little cold. She knew that the child was blaming herself, so she slowed down and asked softly: "Xiaobai,
Are you hungry? What do you want to eat tonight?"
"I don't want to eat anything."
"Uncle Chocolate treats us to steak, okay? This is your favorite food. Uncle Chocolate also added new toys to your room..."
The child interrupted her: "I don't like steak and I don't want to go to Uncle Chocolate's house."
Wheat choked and couldn't say a word.
After the car had driven a long way, the child said depressedly: "Sister Mai, why didn't you come to see dad that day? Dad was so ill. If Aunt Bingbing and Uncle Song hadn't arrived, dad would have had a high fever and turned into pneumonia...
…”
"I...I was in an emergency that day...I really couldn't leave..."
"What's the emergency?"
"This...is a work matter..."
"Work, work, well, you adults always value work above all else... But, Sister Mai, didn't you go to work?"
Qiao Xiaomai was flustered and didn't want to lie in front of her children, but she couldn't get off the horse and could only bite the bullet: "I found a new job..."
The child was still unhappy. As soon as she got home, she locked herself in her room and did her homework. Qiao Xiaomai prepared the meal and tidied the room. He was about to go out to call her for dinner when he suddenly saw the child standing in the living room with a very strange look in his eyes.
.
"Xiaobai, what's wrong?"
The child took out two movie tickets from the pocket of her coat that was placed on the sofa and held them up.
Her face sank, but Xiaobai spoke before her: "Sister Mai, what is this?"
The little face was full of disbelief: "Sister Mai, is this the urgent matter you said?"
"!!!"
"Sister Mai, you lied!!" The child accused her unceremoniously, "You teach me every day not to lie, but you lie yourself!!! You go to the movies with Uncle Chocolate and don't go to see Dad?"
Qiao Xiaomai's face was so hot that he was speechless.
The child seemed to have been greatly deceived. There were already tears in his eyes, and his little face was full of anger: "Sister Mai, why did you lie to me? You will obviously have nothing to do one day, and your father will be so sick, but you won't go.
Look, you actually went to the movies with Uncle Chocolate... You lied!!! You lied!!! You don't care about Dad at all..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Qiao Xiaomai breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to open the door. At the door, Xiaodong came in with a smile, holding a lot of fruit in his hand. He smiled and called Xiaobai loudly as usual, and Xiaobai opened the door.
Seeing it was him, he turned his head and ignored him.
He was a little strange. He reached out to pat Xiaobai and wanted to ask why, but Xiaobai opened his hand immediately.
Qiao Xiaomai was angry and anxious, and reluctantly said: "Xiao Bai... please call Uncle Chocolate..."
Xiaobai burst into tears, turned around, rushed into his room, and slammed the door.
Xiaodong asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
Qiao Xiaomai reluctantly said: "It's okay, she has a bad temper, just ignore her."
That night, no matter how Qiao Xiaomai tried to persuade her, Xiaobai refused to come out to eat. Xiaodong called her, but she ignored him. It was almost eleven o'clock, and Xiaodong saw that Qiao Xiaomai's face was pale and restless, and he stayed all night long.
I had nothing to say, so I had to say goodbye sadly.
