Yue Zhongyao felt uneasy and carefully sat on the edge of the bed, then looked at her and asked: "Jin Niang, are you...are you feeling better?"
Seeing that his wife didn't speak and just stared at him, he swallowed again and said, "Last night Wan'er cried and wanted you, so I took her from my mother and brought her to sleep next to you. She
I didn’t disturb you at night, did I?”
Qiao Yuanniang turned her head and looked at her daughter who was sleeping soundly next to her, but said nothing.
Qiao Zhongyao stared at Qiao Mingjin nervously, seeing that she didn't speak and only looked blankly at her daughter beside her.
He is the daughter of Yue Zhongyao.
He didn't know it when he left. When he came back four years later, he was overjoyed to learn that he had such an older daughter.
This daughter looks like her mother, with picturesque eyebrows and fair skin. The name given by her father-in-law is also nice, "Qingwan". She is a beautiful blue jade.
Wan'er seems to be very attached to her mother. He has been back for more than a month, but she still just hides behind her mother and looks at him timidly, not daring to get close to him.
Her daughter is now three years and three months old. He has not been with her since she was born. He feels a little sorry for his daughter, so every day when he has free time, he wants to get close to her daughter to make up for it.
.
Unexpectedly, Liu Meiniang's incident happened again, which made her and his wife farther and farther away from him.
Yue Zhongyao felt a little discouraged thinking about it.
He looked at Qiao Mingjin again and tried to explain.
Nana said: "Jin Niang, I don't want to marry her. I just want to give them the pension money from my benefactor and take care of them a little more. Unexpectedly, her mother cried and pestered her, and she responded.
I can't violate my filial piety when I marry someone else. From now on... I will be kind to you, mother and daughter, and I will make it up to you... Even if I marry her, I won't be able to change anything."
Qiao Mingjin sneered inwardly.
People are getting married, but they haven’t changed yet? If a cow doesn’t drink water, how can it be forced to have its head pressed?
She glanced at Yue Zhongyao calmly and closed her eyes again.
Men's words cannot be easily believed.
Besides, she is not Qiao Mingjin, at least not the Qiao Mingjin of the past.
Let's wait until she recovers from her injuries before making any plans. Now her body is too weak. It's difficult to even stand up.
Yue Zhongyao saw that she closed her eyes again, so he sat on the edge of the bed for a while before going out.
Qiao Mingjin lay there for a while, and it wasn't until her daughter beside her gently tugged on her clothes that she opened her eyes again.
"Mom..." Qiao Mingjin met the girl's big black eyes.
Perhaps she felt that her mother was a little strange today and did not coax her. Wan'er pursed her lips in grievance and cried silently.
Qiao Mingjin was stunned for a moment. Her daughter's crystal tears hung on her long eyelashes, and a few of them rolled down the corners of her eyes. She pursed her little mouth tightly, timidly not daring to cry.
At that moment, Qiao Mingjin's heart collapsed somewhere.
There was a pain like a needle prick. He stretched out his hand to hold his daughter in his arms, patted her back gently, and coaxed: "Wan'er, be good, mother...mother is here, don't cry anymore..."
It's a very strange feeling. The initial unfamiliarity soon became familiar. It's like an instinct in the body.
Wan'er called out again in a low voice: "Mother..."
"Well, Mom is here. Are Wan'er hungry? Would you like to eat some delicious meat porridge with Mom?"
Xiao Wan'er's eyes lit up and she looked at her with fluttering long eyelashes.
Although this child is the youngest in the family, because her father is not at home, she does not know whether she is alive or dead, and she is a girl, and her mother-in-law is not happy, so she has not been liked by her family since she was a child.
Good things never fall into her hands, and she can't compete with several cousins. She has been cultivated with a timid temperament since she was a child. Children who are only a little older know how to read people's eyes. They are afraid of being scolded.
Dare not speak loudly, dare not even cry loudly.
Usually she only likes to cling to Qiao Mingjin. If Qiao Mingjin is not at home and out of sight of her, she will be frightened...
Qiao Mingjin was stared at blankly by her daughter, her heart softening inch by inch.
This is her daughter.
Qiao Mingjin washed the mother and daughter with water from the wooden tripod basin, then hugged her and leaned on the bed, and fed her daughter the porridge on the bedside table.
Although the large porcelain bowl was held down by a plate, the porridge inside was a little cold. But it was still warm and just right in the mouth.
First I scooped out a mouthful and fed it to Xiao Wan'er.
Xiao Wan'er opened her mouth wide and looked at her with bright eyes, puffing out her cheeks and smiling cheerfully at her.
"Is it tasty?"
Xiao Wan'er nodded vigorously.
Poor child, where can I usually eat such thick porridge, or meat porridge?
Qiao Mingjin looked at her daughter's thin cheeks and sparse yellow hair, and felt sour in her heart that she almost shed tears.
Seeing that Xiao Wan'er swallowed the porridge, she fed her another mouthful.
Xiao Wan'er turned her head slightly to the side. Qiao Mingjin didn't know why for a moment and looked at her blankly.
"Mom, eat it." Her voice sounded milky.
Qiao Mingjin blinked desperately towards the top of the old gray tent to keep her tears from falling.
"Okay, Mom, let's eat too." She took a spoonful and put it in her mouth.
The porridge is very mushy and the heat is sufficient.
Qiao Mingjin took a bite by herself, then scooped another spoonful and fed it to Wan'er. Xiao Wan'er opened her mouth and swallowed it, then puffed out her cheeks and looked at her happily with narrowed eyes.
Qiao Mingjin felt that her heart was so soft that she could squeeze out tears.
Mother and daughter, you and I quickly finished the bowl of meat porridge.
Qiao Mingjin watched Xiao Wan'er standing on the bed, patting her slightly swollen belly through her clothes, and smiling proudly at her, so she also laughed.
When Yue Zhongyao came to the room to collect the bowls, he saw the mother and daughter cuddling together and talking affectionately. The two similar faces came together like a beautiful painting.
Yue Zhongyao felt that his heart was about to melt.
"What did Wan'er say to mother? Tell dad too."
When Xiao Wan'er saw Yue Zhongyao coming in, she pursed her lips and stopped talking, only looking at him with her big eyes.
Yue Zhongyao felt sour in his heart, and felt pain like needles when he saw the alienated mother and daughter.
But he still sat on the edge of the bed. He didn't dare to look at Qiao Mingjin and only tried to hold Xiao Wan'er's hand.
Xiao Wan'er twisted her body and threw herself into her mother's arms, only tilting her head to look at him.
Yue Zhongyao retracted his hand in a daze and forced a smile: "Wan'er, I am the father. The eldest brother, the third brother and the second sister all have fathers, so our little Wan'er also has a father, right?"
I was very happy to see my daughter listening to him quietly without turning her head away.
Then he said: "Dad also has a father, mother also has a father, so of course our little Wan'er also has a father. Dad used to go outside, so little Wan'er couldn't see him. Now dad is back, and he will never leave us Wan'er again.
Now, is Wan'er Gao happy?"
Yue Zhongyao was a little frustrated when he saw that his daughter still looked indifferent and didn't know whether she understood or not.
He really didn't know how to coax such a young child, so he cast his eyes on Qiao Mingjin with a smile.
Qiao Mingjin had no intention of helping him at all.
If you miss it, you miss it. If you want to get close to your child, you can't be impatient at all.
You can only let your child slowly feel your kindness, and she will naturally approach you.
Children are always the most sensitive, and their way of expressing feelings is also very direct. She will cling to anyone who treats her well.
Yue Zhongyao glanced at Qiao Mingjin sarcastically, turned around and saw his daughter still looking at him with her big eyes. He raised the corners of his mouth and stretched out his hands and said: "Dad, can you give Wan'er a hug? Yesterday, dad carried you to your mother's home."
Wan'er came to sleep next to you, don't you remember?"
Qiao Mingjin didn't say anything and slid into bed again.
Xiao Wan'er looked at her mother, then at her father, but still didn't move.
Yue Zhongyao kept up his efforts: "This is the meat porridge that dad cooked for Xiao Wan'er this morning. Is the meat porridge good?"
Seeing his daughter nodding towards him, Yue Zhongyao felt extremely happy and raised the corners of his mouth even higher.
At the same time, there was a sense of sourness in my heart, but the bowl of meat porridge seemed to my daughter as if she had eaten the most delicious food.
"Then daddy can cook it for Xiao Wan'er later, okay?"
Seeing his daughter pouting and nodding towards him, Yue Zhongyao hurriedly moved forward to hold the child in his arms.
