A long hair is sticking to the chest of my clothes. At first glance, this hair does not belong to An Lan, because An Lan's hair is not that long yet.
My heart suddenly thumped. Fortunately, An Lan was not here.
Otherwise, it would be terrible if she heard it.
I hurriedly took off my hair, threw it into the trash can next to me, and then acted calmly as if nothing had happened.
I said to Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, daddy built a house for you to see. You should watch it carefully."
"Um."
I sat directly on the floor mat and started playing with blocks.
I'm pretty good at this thing. Although I never played it when I was a kid, when I was in college, our computer science teacher let us play it. He said that this kind of game develops the right brain, but I don't know if that's true.
Xiao Man watched carefully from the side, just like she usually watched cartoons, concentrating on it.
Of course, I was also very focused on building a house with building blocks, which was a bit rusty, but the building blocks that children play with were still not a problem for me.
It took me more than ten minutes to build a Disney-like castle, which can’t even be called a house.
There are also various small objects in the castle, cars, seesaws, etc...
When Xiao Man saw this, he shouted "Wow": "Dad, you are so awesome!"
I was also quite proud and said: "Xiaoman, daddy will teach you how to play. After you go to kindergarten, you can teach your classmates how to play."
"Okay, okay!"
When I turned around, I found that An Lan was standing behind me at some point, facing us with his mobile phone, as if he was recording a video.
"When were you behind me?"
An Lan continued to hold up his mobile phone to take pictures, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, you continue to play, I will be responsible for recording."
I thought about it and recorded it. When Xiaoman grows up, he can watch this video and think of me.
Thinking of this, I smiled bitterly to myself, and then continued to play with Xiao Man.
Xiaoman was also very involved and studied very seriously.
She is really smart. I only handed her one hand and she knew how to do it, and her imagination is bigger than my imagination.
In her colorful castle, she also used building blocks to make the image of a little princess, and there were even two adults and a stroller.
Obviously, I know what Xiaoman is expressing.
An Lan also zoomed in closer and took photos from multiple angles of the castle Xiaoman had just built.
It is rare for our family to do something like this together. Although this thing has no meaning, it is also a beautiful memory.
I believe Xiaoman will remember that her father taught her to build a castle with building blocks. She will remember these beautiful days, and she will not forget me.
It's just my youngest son Yangyang. He is only one year old and doesn't understand anything. Maybe when I leave him, he will be less than two years old.
When he grows up, maybe he will forget about me.
After An Lan finished shooting, he sent this video to me for me to take a look at.
I opened the video and watched it. It looked really harmonious and full of laughter.
But as I watched, my eyes became moist. I didn't want An Lan to find out, so I made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
I posted this video to Moments and set it to private.
At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang.
After I took a deep breath to adjust my emotions, I took out my phone and saw that the call was from Li Ruixue's father, whose number I had saved before.
I immediately answered the phone, and a weak voice came from the phone: "Boss Chen, are you busy?"
"You're not busy, what's wrong?"
"You...if you're not busy, could you come to my place? I might...may have to leave..." His voice became weaker and weaker as he spoke, and I couldn't even hear him clearly.
I immediately realized something was wrong and immediately replied, "Okay, I'll be right back."
After hanging up the phone, I grabbed my coat on the sofa and said to An Lan: "Li Ruixue's father may be leaving. I'll go over there right away. He won't wait for me to come back for dinner."
"Ah!" An Lan was surprised, and then handed me the car key on the coffee table, reminding me, "Drive slowly, don't be in a hurry."
"Um."
I ran all the way to the garage, then got in the car and went straight to Li Ruixue's house.
Fortunately, it was already past the rush hour after get off work, and there was not much traffic jam. I arrived at Li Ruixue's home half an hour later.
As soon as I stopped the car, I heard Li Ruixue's cry coming from the house: "Dad, dad, hold on, I've called 120, the doctor is on the way...Dad, you must hold on."
Hearing Li Ruixue's voice, I felt that her father probably couldn't hold on any longer.
I rushed into the house and saw Li Ruixue's father lying dying on the couch in the main room, his face pale and lifeless.
After Li Ruixue heard the sound, she turned around and saw that it was me. She immediately shouted to me: "Uncle Chen, my father..."
"I know, Ruixue, don't be afraid!"
While comforting me, I hurried to the couch, squatted down, and called to Li Ruixue's father: "Brother Li, Brother Li, I am Chen Feng, I'm here."
He opened his eyes very weakly, as if using his last bit of strength.
He tried to reach out to grab me, but I took the initiative to grab his hand. His hand was like ice cubes.
"Boss Chen, please..." His voice was even weaker than when he called me just now, as small as a mosquito.
"No trouble, can you still hold on? I'll take you to the hospital."
He moved his head slightly and said, "No need, I'm already like this. I feel aggrieved and the hospital is wasting money."
"No, Dad, if you keep persisting... you will be cured. Dad, don't give up."
Li Ruixue cried and said, then faced me again, knelt in front of me, and said pleadingly: "Uncle Chen, please save my dad, please..."
I miss her too, but her father is like this and there is nothing he can do about it.
I sighed, helped her up first, and then said: "Ruixue, I understand how you feel now, but your father... he has cancer, did you know?"
She seemed to already know, nodded and said, "Dad has already told me, but I don't want him to leave."
"Ruixue, I... I'll tell Uncle Chen, please... don't talk for now." Her father suddenly said.
Li Ruixue was very obedient, so she kept her mouth shut.
Then, her father looked at me again and said very weakly: "Boss Chen, can you adopt Ruixue? I know this is difficult for you and your family to accept... If you and your family don't If you are willing, just send her to an orphanage! Count me in, and finally, please... okay?"
At this time, I had no time to think about anything else, so I had to nod my head and agree.
He continued: "There is a bank card under my pillow with some money on it, and the password is Ruixue's birthday."
