On this day, Qiao Xinwei got up early, checked the luggage she packed last night one last time, and made sure that nothing was missing before she hurried to wash up.
After cleaning herself up, she went to call her son from under the quilt.
"Xi Bao, Xi Bao, get up."
Zai Xi rubbed his eyes and said drowsily: "Mom, it's not dark yet, I want to sleep."
"We are going on a long trip today and we must get up now."
It is inevitable for children to get angry when they wake up. Zai Xi said, "Ooooooo, I want to sleep? I don't want to get up?"
Qiao Xinwei squatted beside the bed and reasoned with her son carefully. She said, "Xi Bao, didn't we talk about it last night? Today we are going to see grandma and grandpa and we have to take the train. If we get up late, we won't be able to catch the train.
Already."
"Can't you ask the train to wait?"
"There are many people who take the train. If everyone has to wait for the train, then when will they go?"
"But I'm really sleepy and want to sleep."
"What's so difficult about getting up? Aren't you a man? If you can't even overcome it, what kind of man are you?"
This trick was more effective. Zai Xi got up obediently and said, "Okay, I'm a man and I can get up."
Qiao Xinwei smiled happily. Her son has grown up and he can understand reasoning with him. "Well, be good, and we can sleep on the train."
When she went out, it was still not bright yet. Qiao Xin only dragged her luggage with one hand and her son with the other, and walked from the community to the bus station.
When we arrived at the train station, it was already bright and it was very close to the time for the train to leave.
"Xi Bao, let's go faster. Mom is holding you, let's race, okay?"
"OK."
The train station was crowded with people and things. Qiao Xinwei held her son's hand tightly and walked inside. When checking in, there were even more people. She picked up her son and didn't dare to let go for a moment.
It was Zai Xi's first time traveling far away, and also his first time taking a train. At first he was so excited that he looked around, but after a while he fell asleep because he was tired.
Qiao Xinwei hugged him tightly and kissed his little face gently.
After three years, she no longer had much trouble in her heart. Thinking of the situation when she fled in grief three years ago, she now feels sorry for herself at that time.
After a six-hour high-speed train ride from Jiangnan to the capital, she returned to the city with healed wounds and a cute and clever son.
"Mom, this place is so beautiful, I like it so much." Zai Xi said happily as he looked at the tall buildings.
"Xi Bao, do you like it here or at home?"
Zai Xi thought about it seriously and said, "Here."
"Why?"
"Because it's more beautiful here."
"??" Son, can our thoughts be a little deeper? Qiao Xinwei is a little worried about you even though she is ashamed. Is it possible that this is still a kind of nature?
Back home, the familiar community and the familiar corridors have hardly changed. Standing at the door of the house, Qiao Xinwei felt extremely nervous. She knew that the only person coming back today was her mother, and she also specifically told her mother not to bring her back.
Tell others things.
My mother agreed on the phone, but she was still not sure who was at home.
Zai Xila took her hand and asked: "Mom, is this grandma's house?"
"kindness."
"Then why don't you go in?"
"??" She choked with sobs and felt a little sad. She didn't know how to answer.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Xinwei shook her head, "It's okay, come on, Xi Bao knocks on the door."
Knocking on the door, the door opened quickly. Xiang Ling had been waiting at home for a long time. When the door opened, Xiang Ling saw her and cried with joy, "Xinwei??" Looking down, there was a little boy with delicate features.
His eyes are very flexible, and his outline looks very much like Jiang Hao's.
Xiang Lingchu stood dumbfounded at the door.
"Mom, I'm back," Qiao Xinwei picked up her son, "Xi Bao, call grandma."
"Hello, grandma, my name is Qiao Zaixi. I am three years old this year. I am from Mars, oh no, I am from the earth." Zaixi said while gesticulating, and the clear and childish voice of a child made the two adults laugh and cry.
Xiang Ling understood immediately and couldn't say anything, but her tears kept falling down, "Xi Bao, come on, the good boy, come in, grandma will give you a hug."
Xiang Ling took her grandson from Qiao Xinwei's hand, "Well, it's quite heavy."
"No, just hugging him all the way here makes me exhausted."
Entering the room, everyone was there, Jing Zhicheng, Jing Shang, and Yang Jiajia, all looking at this scene in stunned silence.
Qiao Xinwei smiled lightly and said, "Everyone is here, dad, brother, sister-in-law, I'm back."
Jing Zhicheng stepped forward and asked, "Is this Xi Bao?"
"Xi Bao, call me grandpa." Qiao Xinwei taught him.
Zai Xi started gesticulating again, "Hello, grandpa, my name is Qiao Zai Xi. I am three years old this year. I come from another village on the earth. Oh, it seems to be next door to your village."
Jing Zhicheng touched his little head and praised him for his intelligence, "Xi Bao is so smart, let grandpa hug him."
At this time, Jing Shang's eyes were slightly red. She had been away from home for three years, to be precise, it should have been three years and nine months and nearly four years. There was no news about her. She actually got pregnant and gave birth to a child alone outside, and she gave birth to a baby.
The child was three years old. Jing Shang felt uncomfortable thinking about the hardships she had endured.
Yang Jiajia didn't know what to say. She stepped forward and took Qiao Xinwei's hand. The first thing she said was, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were pregnant at that time. I..."
Qiao Xinwei took her hand, patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, sister-in-law, even if you don't mention it, I have already decided to leave. It's me who has made you blame yourself for so long.
Say sorry."
Yang Jiajia felt guilty and relaxed at the same time, "It'll be fine if you come back."
Jing Shang came over and without saying much, opened his arms and held her and Xiang Ling in his arms. The three of them hugged each other with red eyes.
"Brother, thank you for taking care of mom, thank you."
Jing Shang sighed with emotion: "This is my mother too. Do you still need to thank you for taking care of her? My silly girl, why are you so stupid?"
They hugged each other for a while and then let go. Qiao Xinwei pointed at Jing Shang and Yang Jiajia and said, "Xi Bao, and my uncle and aunt."
Zai Xi's eyes lit up, "Wow, my aunt is so beautiful." The boy kept his expression of surprise and said, "Hello, uncle and aunt, my name has been introduced, my age has been introduced, and where I am from.
We’ve introduced you, okay? I guess it’s okay to pee?”
Everyone burst into laughter, and Qiao Xinwei quickly took him to the bathroom.
In the evening, Xiang Ling cooked a large table of dishes, and the family had a lively dinner. Zai Xi undoubtedly became the center of everyone's attention. It was obvious that he was very adaptable to being with everyone, and everyone liked him very much.
Everyone knew who Zai Xi's child was, but they didn't know how Qiao Xinwei wanted to arrange it. As the head of the family, Jing Jicheng first asked her, "Xinwei, what are you going to do next?"
Qiao Xinwei was also very frank, saying: "I came back this time, firstly, to go to the court for a hearing, and secondly, to get my household registration back. Zaixi hasn't registered my household registration yet."
Jing Shang said: "Your household registration is still with Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao??" He looked at Zai Xi, "Are you going to tell him?"
"It's only a matter of time before he knows, but I want to keep it a secret as long as I can. I will definitely see him when I go to the hearing this time. I am also ready to see him. Let's have a good talk with him. He will stay.
It's useless to hold on to my household registration. If he remarries in the future, my household registration will mean nothing to him." Suddenly, her heart suddenly throbbed. If there is contact, this may be the last contact with him.
"Get the household registration back, and then add Zai Xi's household registration, and Zai Xi can go to kindergarten. I think we should go back to Jiangnan to live. I have a stable job there. Although it is not as good as the capital, the environment there is good.
, life is less stressful and more comfortable.”
Xiang Ling frowned and said, "Are you leaving again and not coming back?"
Jing Shang exposed her immediately, "Xinwei, are you worried that Jiang Hao will have a child?"
Qiao Xinwei lowered her head and said nothing. Yes, how could she not be worried? She was worried to death.
Yang Jiajia interjected, "I think this matter can't be hidden for long. Who is Chief Jiang? He couldn't help himself before, but now he is free to look for you. Will he not be able to find you? I don't think Chief Jiang can do it."
It’s the Jiang family that will rob children, and Chief Jiang’s father and mother are not fuel-efficient lamps.”
Qiao Xinwei sighed, "We can only take one step at a time. Let's solve the household registration problem as soon as possible. Once the household registration problem is solved, I will take Zai Xi back to Jiangnan."
Zai Xi is very obedient and eats by himself. He eats whatever he wants, "Mom, I also want chicken legs."
"No, you have already eaten a chicken leg. If you eat too much, you will accumulate food. If you eat too much, you will have a fever. Once you have a fever, you will feel uncomfortable. If you feel uncomfortable, you should go to the doctor. The doctor will give Xi Bao an injection and medicine."
Zai Xi pouted his little mouth and said with an annoyed look on his face: "Okay, okay, mom, don't tell me about injections and medicine, I don't like it."
"Eat the greens. You can't eat the chicken legs anyway."
"I understand, mom, please stop stressing, I don't like it."
Yang Jiajia gave Zai Xi a piece of fish meat and said, "Xi Bao, eat fish. Eating fish will make you smarter."
Zai Xi suddenly became happy, his little face grinned, "Wow, I like to eat fish. My mother only feeds me vegetables, and my aunt feeds me fish. I like my aunt."
Yang Jiajia was so happy that she grinned from ear to ear, "Xibao, you are so cute, and my aunt likes you so much."
Qiao Xinwei was so speechless, hey, this shabby kid who likes the new and hates the old.
"Don't worry about me, everyone. I don't worry about what you are worried about. I raised Xi Bao by myself. I can't do without him, and he can't do without me. Even if the Jiang family wants to rob him, he has to
Ask the child what he means."
Xiang Ling was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Xinwei, is it really impossible for you and Jiang Hao to start over?"
Qiao Xinwei shook his head, "He has completed this mission, and there will be a next time, and a next time. In his mind, military orders are more important than anything else. Forget it, I don't want Zai Xi to experience that kind of abandonment in the future."
Despair, even if it is only possible, I don’t want it.”
Everyone was silent. Jiang Hao's behavior was really beyond the understanding of ordinary people. He broke everyone's heart, even though it was for a mission.
