In the dim bedroom, a small figure walked out. The handsome and beautiful facial features inherited all the advantages of her and Guan Shouheng.
Mint's heart suddenly softened, and she hurriedly walked over, "An'an, you're not asleep yet?"
"I'm waiting for mom." Bao Anrui answered seriously, and then looked at his mother with a worried look. His mother came back very late today, and he was worried that something was wrong with her.
Mint felt deeply guilty, "I'm sorry, An'an, mom made you worry, but mom is fine, won't she be back now, eh?"
An An looked at her carefully and felt that her mother's face was a little pale. She couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Mom, is something wrong?"
"No, I just have a lot of work today and am too busy." Bo Min found an excuse to deal with her son. She didn't want her children to know about her affairs and Guan Shouheng's affairs.
She no longer has the ability to give An An a complete home, nor can she give him a prosperous life. She can no longer put psychological pressure on him.
But An An was too smart. After looking up and down, he discovered the problem, "Mom, your foot is injured?"
"...I accidentally got burned. It's no big deal, and I've already applied medicine." Mint said lightly, but in fact the wound is still very painful.
An An quickly took the bag from her hand and said nervously, "Mom, sit down quickly and I'll check it out."
Mint didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and allowed her son to pull her to sit on the sofa. An An took a closer look at her feet to make sure that the medicine had really been applied, and then she felt relieved.
"Does it hurt?"
Mint blinked away the slight acidity in his eyes and shook his head, "It's much better now. Don't worry An An. By the way, have you taken any medicine?"
An'an was a premature child, just over six and a half months old. When he was born, he was not much bigger than a kitten. His whole body was wrinkled and he couldn't even open his eyes. At that time, no one thought he would survive. Maybe
It was God who felt so pitiful about her that he couldn't bear to take away her last bit of warmth, so he kept this child so that she would not be lonely and helpless.
But here comes the problem. An An was destined to have poor health from the moment he was born. Due to congenital deficiencies, his constitution was very poor and weak. The doctor told her that any small cold could take his life.
, it was not until An An was five years old that his risk of premature death was greatly reduced.
However, he still needs to take a lot of medicine and health care products. She would rather not eat herself, but also buy things to nourish the body for An An, because she loves this child so much. Without An An, she would not know what she is doing.
How could she survive these years, but because of An An, no matter how hard and tired she is, it still feels worth it.
"Have eaten." An An nodded and replied.
Mint felt comforted in his heart, as long as An An was well, everything would be fine.
She was a little tired, really tired, and wanted to go to bed directly, but she hadn't eaten dinner yet. If she didn't eat, her stomach would hurt, and she wouldn't have the strength to work tomorrow. So, she had to grit her teeth and insist on getting something.
Come and eat.
The body is the capital of revolution, and she understands this truth very well now.
"An'an, go to bed quickly. Mom has eaten something and gone to bed." She got up and went into the small kitchen.
Many people may think that after experiencing hardships in life, they must be able to do anything, but it is not true. She has no talent for doing housework. After so many years, her cooking skills are still terrible.
Until now, she can barely make some stir-fries, and rice is never suitable, either as soft as porridge or as hard as pebbles.
However, the taste is no longer important, as long as it can fill the stomach.
She thought that she was the young lady's body and the maid's fate. After becoming the maid's fate, she was still the young lady's body.
How can it be such a bad word?
She laughed to herself.
It was late, and she just wanted to cook a bowl of noodles for herself to eat, but she didn't know how to roll noodles with her hands, it was just instant noodles.
"Mom, let me do it!" An An followed the small kitchen and volunteered to roll up his sleeves. Before Mint could agree, he had already moved skillfully.
Mint was pushed aside and stared blankly at her son cooking for her.
It’s really too much! Why can he do so well? He is obviously just a child who is less than ten years old, how can he be more capable than an adult like her?
It's ridiculous that she would be jealous of her own son!
In the small kitchen, under the dim light, a boy wearing a cartoon apron is holding a pot in one hand and a spatula in the other, his movements are very skillful.
"Mom, add an egg!" He decided on his own, but then he seemed to feel something was wrong and asked more, "Do you want a poached egg or a fried egg?"
"all good."
"Then let's have two!" The boy made his own decision again.
Mint couldn't argue. She had no "status" in the family. When An An was five years old, he protested to her with frowning eyebrows, saying that the food she cooked was too unpalatable and the laundry was terrible.
White clothes dye yellow, blue clothes dye black.
At that time, she was still crying sadly. Her only son actually disliked her. An An did not snuggle into her arms and comfort her as she usually did. Instead, she moved the small stool into the kitchen and went to work alone.
After a while, she came out with a plate. Inside the plate was a poached egg that was fried very, very beautifully. In her opinion, it could be put on display. It also tasted very good, and the egg white was soft and fully cooked.
, the egg yolk is only medium-rare and tender, top-notch delicious!
Then, he went into the bathroom again, and after a loud cleaning, he washed all the clothes of the mother and son, and then moved the small bench to the balcony to dry the washed clothes under the sunlight.
, simply sparkling!
From that moment on, she no longer had a voice at home.
From that moment on, she was completely relieved, An An was really smart!
Before An An was five years old, she was worried about his body, and after An An was five years old, she was worried about his mind. After all, other people's children stay in the mother's belly for ten months and absorb enough nutrients before they come out. But
An'an was not even 7 months old, and she was really afraid of the sequelae.
But God has mercy on An An. Not only does An An have no flaws, but she is also very smart. She is very grateful to Guan Shouheng for this. His perfect genes have allowed An An to inherit all his advantages. She is very good at reading, working very well, and growing up.
He is also very good-looking, with handsome facial features that are like uncanny craftsmanship, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and deep and clear eyes. Although he is young, he has fascinated all the girls in the school. Even the young female teacher obeys his words.
She was secretly proud, thanks to the good name she gave her son, An Rui, who was safe and smart!
Guan Shouheng must have never imagined that the child he missed so much not only did not disappear, but also grew so big in the blink of an eye, and was so outstanding!
He must not be allowed to know that, according to the situation tonight, if he knew of An An's existence, he would definitely take An An away from her at all costs.
No, absolutely not!
She has nothing now and can no longer lose An An. An An is everything to her and is more important than her own life.
Just when Mint was distracted, An An had already cooked a portion of noodles. A poached egg was mixed into the noodle soup, and there was also a fried egg that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Mom..." The clear male voice has not yet reached the stage of changing its voice, and the voice is very pleasant.
Mint didn't hear it, she was still immersed in her own thoughts.
What happened today happened so suddenly that she was not mentally prepared at all. Guan Shouheng's sudden appearance made her life, which was originally like waking up from a dream, suddenly add a thunderclap, which caught her off guard.
"Mom..." An An couldn't help but pushed her shoulder lightly.
Feeling the touch, Mint came back to his senses, lowered his head and saw that his son had arrived beside him at some point.
"What's wrong, An An?" She found that her son looked at her a little strangely.
"This sentence seems to be appropriate for me to ask you, Mom, what's wrong with you?" An An frowned slightly and looked at her mother seriously. She was really a little strange tonight, and something has been wrong since she came back.
Mint looked at her son's frowning eyebrows and couldn't help feeling melancholy. How could such an expression look like that of a child who was still in elementary school?
He is mature, sensible, smart, and sensitive. She is happy for this, but also worried.
Feeling slightly twisted in her heart, she stretched out her hand to smooth her son's eyebrows and said earnestly, "An'an, mom is fine. Even if something happens, mom is an adult and I can handle it myself. Don't worry too much and pay more attention to your body."
"Yeah." An An nodded obediently and handed over the freshly cooked noodles.
Mint couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, it really looked delicious!
This seems to be genetically conserved. She remembers the first time she came to his small attic that year, and he cooked a bowl of noodles for her. She still remembers the taste.
"..." An An hesitated, her mother was in a daze again, but forget it, let's wait until she finished eating.
However, if she continues to be in such a daze, her face will become cold.
"Mom!" He couldn't bear it anymore and called again.
Mint came to his senses in embarrassment and forced out a stiff smile, "I'll eat it right now."
She hurriedly started cooking. The noodles were really delicious. The heat was moderate and the saltiness was moderate. Whether it was poached eggs or fried eggs, they were all delicious.
An An's cooking skills are really amazing. Even though it's just an ordinary bowl of noodles, he can still make it so delicious and delicious.
She is truly blessed to have given birth to such a capable son!
No one can take such a wonderful son away from him!
She chewed hard and accidentally bit one cheek.
"Stop eating..." An An couldn't stand it anymore and snatched her chopsticks away.
"An'an, mom hasn't finished eating yet..." She met her son's probing eyes and suddenly felt helpless.
Children who are too smart are not good either.
"Mom, let's talk, okay?" An An sounded like a little adult.
Mint felt powerless and prevaricated, "An'an, it's very late now... You have to go to school tomorrow, so you'd better go to bed early..."
"Tomorrow is Saturday, school is on holiday."
"...But mom has to work tomorrow, so I want to go to bed early."
An An suddenly fell silent, and Mint suddenly felt distressed.
She would never say these things in front of her children, because An An is too sensible, and he always feels that it is too hard for her to take care of him alone. He is very economical and never spends money recklessly. He carries a schoolbag from kindergarten to elementary school.
She helped him change it several times, but he stubbornly picked it back from the trash can several times.
His sensibleness comforted her, his intelligence made her feel proud, but his maturity made her feel distressed.
He was less than ten years old, but his thinking was far beyond that of other children of the same age. She didn't know what the childhood of other people's children was like, but she knew that she was carefree when she was a child.
A child of An An's age should be the most active time. The schoolwork is not very stressful and there is a certain amount of free space. It should be the happiest time, but other people's children are eating snacks and buying snacks.
toys, but her son only thinks about how to help her save money every day, and even how to help her make money.
Such a sensible son not only made her feel distressed, but also felt guilty. She was not a good mother and she felt sorry for her child!
She had never thought that she could meet Guan Shouheng again, but today she suddenly met him, and she saw that he was so obsessed with the problem of the child back then. She was suddenly very scared, fearing that he would compete with her for safety.
She was also ashamed. If she was not so selfish, maybe she should leave An An to him. He is now famous and has a bright future. He can give An An a better life, and he loves his children so much that he will give An An everything.
But...she couldn't bear to let An An go. Without An An, she wouldn't be able to live.
But her ability is limited now. If she can't pay off her debts, she will always be burdened with a stain. She can't study, take exams, go abroad for further study, and she can't even find a decent job!
She dropped out of school because she was pregnant and did not have a high degree of education. She suffered a family crisis and became the daughter of a corrupt criminal.
She was so prosperous before, but then she became so miserable, especially in the first few years, she was so "famous" that she barely escaped being yelled at or beaten by everyone when she walked on the street.
Which company would dare to employ her like this? She can only do odd jobs and be a companion.
But from today on, she can no longer even chat with her. "Haidu" was the only place willing to take her in at first, but now the boss lady doesn't need her anymore, and she has lost a stable income.
What should she do in the future? She must find a new job tomorrow. Also, from tomorrow on, any money that should not be spent cannot be spent. Even if it must be spent, every penny must be spent.
Flower in two!
But, suddenly...
"Mom, can you give me 100 yuan?" An An broke the silence and reached out to ask for money.
Mint was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Is the school charging again? Didn't I just pay more than 200 yuan yesterday?"
An An shook his head, "It's not that the school charges, but I want to go with my classmates on the weekend."
"Go?" Mint's expression suddenly stiffened, and a hint of anger arose spontaneously. She took a deep breath, tried her best to endure it, but said sternly, "Bo Anrui, your school rules clearly state that students are not allowed to go.
! During the last parent-teacher meeting, your teacher specifically emphasized that as the monitor, how could you knowingly do something wrong? Also, what are you going to do? If you need to go to school, there is a computer at home!"
“The computer at home is so old, it’s not fast enough, and it doesn’t have that many games.”
"Game? Just to play a game, you have to ask your mother for 100 yuan?" Mint glared at his son sternly and scolded, "Do you know how many things you can buy with 100 yuan? It's enough for your lunch for two weeks! Do you want to
If you are hungry at noon in the next half month, do you want to spend money to play games in a bar? And what is so fun about those games? They are addictive, you know? Once you play, you will desperately want to buy props and upgrades, and you will be obsessed with it.
! If you want to play games, mom can help you download puzzle games! Also, do you know how complicated the bar environment is? Aren’t fights often reported in the news? There are many people there.
If you smoke, you will inhale a lot of second-hand smoke, which is very bad for your health! What if you get sick? Mom will be very worried, you know?"
Mint said a long list in one breath. Raising a child is much harder than giving birth to a child. Just the word "ba" can lead to so many problems. Although An An has always been obedient, studying and so on
She never needed to worry about it, but at his age, it was the time when he was curious about new things outside. There was no guarantee that he would not be affected by bad influences. Oh, no, or that he had already been affected. Otherwise, she would be better than her on weekdays.
How could her son, who wanted to save money, reach out to her and ask for 100 yuan to play games?
She was so sad! It wasn't just a matter of 100 yuan!
An An was scolded by her mother, but she was not angry at all. She only stared at her for a moment. She waited until she had finished teaching her a lesson before she spoke unhurriedly, "Mom, you know what you said?
You should have told me just now, but... five minutes ago, when I told you the same request, you took the money out of your bag and gave it to me without even blinking, and you gave me 200 yuan!"
"What?" Mint couldn't help being shocked. He quickly lowered his head and looked through his wallet, and sure enough, 200 yuan was missing!
She was so lost in front of her son!
An An spread her hands and said shrewdly, "Mom, do you dare to say that you are fine? Tell me, what happened?"
