When the child was mentioned, the couple seemed to be touched by something sad. Liu Guixiu silently wiped away her tears, while Gu Dahuai took out the welding smoke, lit it with trembling hands, and started smoking hard.
The smoke he exhaled was very heavy and thick, as if he was letting out the things he was holding back in his heart along with the smoke.
After the thick smoke, Gu Dahuai raised his head, his eyes were red and he said with a trembling voice: "It's enough for us to have you, the child... I don't want it anymore."
His slender fingers tapped lightly on the table a few times, his slender eyes slightly raised, and an invisible aura spontaneously arose. Gu Chen looked at Liu Guixiutong and said calmly: "Why did you come back? Tell me and listen.
"
"Girl..." As soon as Liu Guixiufu opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Gu Dahuai's cough. She shrank her shoulders slightly, lowered her head quite meekly, and mumbled: "No more babies, no more babies, we are not
If you don’t have any children, it’s enough for your daughter to be promising.”
She knew that the half-finished girl in front of her was very promising. She heard from Da Huai that she had to wear a military uniform in the school where she would become an official after passing the exam.
Wearing military uniform is an extremely sacred thing in Liu Guixiu's eyes, and he has a heartfelt awe and love for soldiers and civilians.
The weather was a bit stuffy in summer. Gu Dahuai didn't dare to look at his daughter. He stood up silently with a cigarette rod and turned on the fan. After sitting down, he awkwardly changed the subject: "It's been hot and stuffy these days. I see the city."
People in the city have air conditioners installed at home, why don’t they go to the mall to buy air conditioners after dinner?”
I don't want to say what I'm holding back in my heart, and I don't want to affect my daughter's mood.
As he spoke, he did not forget to wink at Liu Guixiu. Liu Guixiu, who had always listened to her husband at home, laughed and said with a forced smile: "Yes, it's very hot in summer today. I mentioned to install one in your room two days ago."
Air conditioning, your dad said he didn’t know if you would come back, so he held him back. This night..."
"You don't have to be careless in front of me. If you don't tell me, I will find out." Gu Chen said calmly, his calm eyes were like mirrors, able to see the honest, hard-working and kind-hearted couple sitting in front of him.
It became clear to me, "Have you ever had a child?"
There are more affirmations than doubts. Liu Guixiu got divorced in her last marriage because she had no children, so she shouldn't have this sad expression now.
The only possibility is that this happened after finally having a child and then failing.
Child..., she saw a woman with a big belly on the road, and checked the information on the computer, only to realize that today's human beings are all conceived by women, instead of only one cell in the future to breed new life.
.
Then, did Liu Guixiu... also have a child in her belly?
After saying that, Gu Chen's eyes never left Liu Guixiu's face. When he saw her frightened expression and the sadness flowing out of her eyes, it was like a bottomless sea. It could destroy this strong enough rural woman in front of her.
drowned.
One sentence successfully crushed Liu Guixiu's last strength. She covered her face and went from faintly sobbing to absolutely crying out of pain.
She spoke intermittently, slowly telling Gu Chen about the child.
"Our family also paid protection fees, one thousand yuan a month, every penny paid. Who knew..." When it came to her anger, Liu Guixiu couldn't even express a single sentence.
