Zhang Ling suddenly broke away from the old lady's arms.
She looked at the old lady in disbelief and said:
"Old madam, this is not a joke. For a person with such a status like you, how can I just call you mom?"
"No. Lingling, don't refuse in a hurry. What I'm saying is that I will accept you as my goddaughter."
"No, it can't be done. Because of my father's education, even a goddaughter can't do it."
The old lady knew that as long as she showed her intention to accept her daughter.
The woman in this world who is willing to be her daughter.
You can grab a bunch of them just walking down the street.
In order to get to know her biological daughter.
It was just a periodic request for Zhang Ling to be her goddaughter.
Unexpectedly, I was rejected outright.
Or was he rejected because of Zhang Pengtian’s education.
At this moment, the old lady hated Zhang Pengtian again.
But he still didn’t forget to investigate the reason and asked “why”.
Zhang Ling explained:
"Because in today's society there are always some lazy (rotten) women who are unwilling to work hard and like to recognize their godfather. My father doesn't want to see me become one of those lazy (rotten) women. That's why he doesn't allow me to do this.
"
Zhang Ling understood that her father wanted to raise a daughter with a positive, healthy and progressive attitude.
Fortunately, Zhang Ling is also upbeat.
I feel that my performance has not disappointed my father.
The old lady tried to explain:
"But this is different! I just want to recognize you as my goddaughter."
Zhang Ling shook her head with a sense of pride and said:
"Not even a goddaughter! Because it will only make me lose the strong motivation to continue to struggle in life."
Yes, it's pride.
Because she is really proud of being able to feel happy in making a living on her own.
This feeling of pride is something those lazy women cannot understand.
When the old lady heard this, her face became extremely gloomy.
Zhang Ling felt as if the wooden house had instantly turned into a large ice cellar.
Waves of biting coldness made her body tremble.
She thought she had just denied the old lady's request to be her goddaughter.
This made the old lady extremely unhappy.
I was worried whether I would be kicked out of the cabin directly by the old lady.
Simply thinking about the cold outside.
Her body felt like it was about to freeze into a popsicle.
That is, in the blink of an eye.
The old lady rolled her eyes, showed a happy smile, and laughed.
He raised his hand and gave Zhang Ling a thumbs up.
He kept saying "Okay".
The old lady understood.
Zhang Pengtian deserves to be Zhang Pengtian.
Everything has been thought of ahead for her.
He was training his daughter to be the successor of the group for her.
Zhang Ling watched the old lady's expression change.
There was no reaction for a moment.
When the old lady eagerly grabbed her hand again and held it in her palm.
The warmth like a furnace instantly spread throughout her body.
It dispelled all the chill from before.
Zhang Ling finally woke up and said:
"Old madam, I would like to ask if my expression just now did not make you unhappy."
The old lady did not directly answer Zhang Ling's question.
Instead, she kept praising "Zhang Ling is a good daughter."
Zhang Ling suddenly understood that the old lady didn't care whether she agreed or not.
They all want to recognize her as their daughter.
However, she remembered her father's care before leaving.
In order to live safely in the wooden house without being kicked out.
In the end, it was decided not to forcefully deny the old lady’s idea of recognizing her daughter.
In her opinion, the old lady just misses her daughter.
Temporarily passively act as the old lady's daughter.
Wait until the old lady’s daughter truly returns.
Presumably this is also a matter of immeasurable merit.
So Zhang Ling compromised and said to the old lady:
"Okay. You can treat me as your daughter without outsiders."
The old lady excitedly stretched out her trembling hand to touch Zhang Ling's cheek.
Not a single word was expressed.
He just kept smiling at Zhang Ling with a motherly smile.
Zhang Ling enjoyed this touch very much.
But her brain is still clear.
So she reached out and grabbed the old lady's hand touching her cheek.
She said seriously:
"But if you can't do it, old madam, even if I are driven out of the cabin by you and sleep in the wilderness, I will never agree to let you treat me as your daughter."
The old lady looked at Zhang Ling with a bit of surprise for a while.
My daughter really likes this kind of thing more and more.
"Okay, my good daughter, aren't you sleepy? Come on, mommy will send you to the prepared bedroom to rest."
Zhang Ling asked with some uncertainty:
"Then I will treat you as an old lady and you agree."
The old lady nodded with a somewhat provocative smile and said:
"Silly daughter, why do you still call me "Old Madam" like a foreigner? Come on, call me "Mom" and let me listen."
She has been waiting for this call for more than thirty years.
The old lady closed her eyes expectantly, raised her ears, and listened carefully.
Little did they know that Zhang Ling called her mother countless times when no one was around.
But it's really time for her to call her mom.
I wonder what happened to Zhang Ling?
When she opened her mouth, her lips were opening and closing and dancing, but she couldn't utter the sound "Mom."
A lot of sweat began to form on her eager forehead.
for a long time!
The old lady still didn't wait for that "Mom".
So I opened my eyes and wanted to ask what happened?
When I saw Zhang Ling's eager look.
Perhaps mother and son have a heart-to-heart connection.
The old lady understood what happened to Zhang Ling.
Somewhat reluctantly, he stepped forward and hugged Zhang Ling into his arms again.
Taking advantage of the situation, he kissed Zhang Ling's ear.
At the same time, she whispered in Zhang Ling’s ear:
"Don't worry! Mom knows this needs a process. Mom has been waiting for it for more than thirty years. She is not in a hurry to wait a few more days. Don't worry, mom will wait for you!"
These few calls from mom were like tear gas.
It made Zhang Ling's tears flow down uncontrollably.
Because she felt a maternal understanding that she had never felt before.
Gentle, warm, cozy...
All words with beautiful meanings can be used here without exaggeration.
After a while.
Zhang Ling's cell phone rang.
She reluctantly left the old lady's arms.
The old lady said with a bit of complaint:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's already this time, if you can't go to sleep peacefully, who is bothering you with a phone call?"
Zhang Ling guessed that it was probably Yan Yuan or her father.
But when I took out my phone, the caller ID showed it was Li Xiang.
The old lady glanced at it and said with a smile:
"This must be Lingling's boyfriend. Pick it up quickly. The rest of the time will be left to you young people. Your room is over there, and I'll be right next to you. If you need anything, you can come to me. Good night."
As the old lady spoke, she turned around and walked to the door of her room.
He did not forget to smile and wave to Zhang Ling as a final farewell.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"It turns out that having a mother feels so happy!"
Mother?
Even she was surprised.
At this time, he unexpectedly said this word accurately.
She also walked to the bedroom door at this time.
Putting one hand on the door handle, he almost subconsciously answered the call from Li Xiang.
Xiaodouzi's voice calling "Mom" also came from the other end of the phone.
Zhang Ling was thinking at the same time as she agreed.
Does it mean that Zhang Ling needs a guidance and learning process even if she calls her "Mom"?
This explanation seems a bit absurd.
But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it made sense.
Because she has never called any woman mom since she was a child.
For Zhang Ling, the difficulty of calling her mother is the same as that of a baby who has never been called mother before learning to call her mother.
We know how can a baby learn to call mother so quickly?
It requires a long period of guided learning.
I learned from the phone that Xiaodouzi was not at home when she returned home.
He expressed his longing and unhappiness to her.
I was unhappy that Zhang Ling didn't tell her in advance before leaving.
Maybe Xiaodouzi felt an unprecedented crisis.
Worried that I will be abandoned for the second time.
So she was crying and insisted that Li Xiang sleep with her in the same bedroom tonight.
Li Xiang wanted to make Xiaodouzi feel at ease.
Agree to lock the door with a key.
Xiaodouzi was allowed to hold the key in his hand and keep it before going to bed quietly.
Xiaodouzi was so nervous because Zhang Ling didn't inform her in advance.
to this end.
Zhang Ling felt a strong sense of self-blame in her heart.
She blames herself for not caring enough about Xiaodouzi's feelings.
Xiaodouzi once again felt unconfident and had a sense of crisis of being abandoned.
So his father took it upon himself to let Li Xiang stay with Xiaodouzi.
The most difficult thing to understand is that her father did not obtain her consent.
The authorization allowed Li Xiang to stay in her room.
He also allowed Li Xiang to sleep on his daughter's bed.
In the past, his father would leave Li Xiang in his own bedroom for the night.
Why do you do this this time?
If it weren't for Xiaodouzi on the other end of the phone.
She was worried that Xiaodouzi would think too much because of her unhappiness.
She would definitely get angry on the spot and directly complain about her dissatisfaction with her father.
Xiaodouzi's lack of confidence made the phone conversation last for almost a quarter of an hour.
Most of the time was spent trying to confirm whether Zhang Ling would come back?
Zhang Ling has always been telling Xiaodouzi the truth and ensuring that she will go home.
She talked about her favorite child Xiaodouzi, her favorite father Zhang Pengtian, and her best friend Yan Yuan.
She even expressed that she would definitely go home for Xiaodouzi’s father, Li Xiang.
Zhang Ling just finished speaking.
Li Xiang, who had been silent all this time, actually burst into crisp laughter.
Zhang Ling took the opportunity to ask with a bit of yin and yang:
"Xiaodouzi, who is laughing here?"
Xiaodouzi said with some doubts:
"Mom, can't you tell it's dad?"
"Your dad is here! We chatted for a long time without saying anything. I always thought your dad was avoiding me on purpose and didn't want to talk."
"Dad!" Xiaodouzi shouted anxiously at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang certainly understood Xiaodouzi's thoughts.
He quickly stepped forward and touched Xiaodouzi’s little head and said to the phone:
"For Xiaodouzi's sake, how can I do that? I just don't want to disturb the intimacy between your mother and daughter."
What he said was like if he didn't have Xiaodouzi by his side.
He Li Xiang was indeed avoiding her on purpose.
Zhang Ling fell into deep thought for a short time.
He hasn't had time to speak yet.
She heard Xiaodouzi's strange voice coming from the other end of the phone:
"Hey, Mom, you can't see that. Dad was so excited that he shed tears just because he was able to talk to you."
Zhang Ling did hear something unusual in Li Xiang's tone.
After being deliberately rendered by Xiaodouzi.
The image of Li Xiang crying appeared in her mind.
to this end.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud and asked:
"real?"
Xiaodouzi continued confidently:
"Really! It's just that Xiaodouzi doesn't know how to use dad's mobile phone! Otherwise, I will definitely take a photo or send a short video to mom. Dad, how do you take photos and videos with your mobile phone..."
At this time, Zhang Ling heard the sound of father and daughter snatching the phone from the other end of the phone.
Where is Xiaodouzi Li Xiang’s opponent?
He cried loudly and said that Li Xiang was an adult bullying a child.
Because the phone finally fell into Li Xiang's hands.
Li Xiang took the lead and explained to her:
"Zhang Ling, don't listen to Xiaodouzi's nonsense. I was just blinded by the sand because the window in your room was not closed properly. A strange wind blew in."
Zhang Linggang said "Oh" with some disappointment.
Until now, Xiaodouzi had not forgotten to help Zhang Ling expose Li Xiang's deceptive words.
So he shouted as loudly as possible:
"Liar! Mom, let me tell you, dad, she is lying. The windows in the room are all closed. How could it be possible that the wind and sand blind the eyes? Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
Xiaodouzi hasn't finished speaking yet.
The sound of arguing and arguing came again on the other end of the phone.
It vaguely sounded like Li Xiang was teaching Xiaodouzi to tell lies.
In the end, Li Xiang just said "Let's talk when we have time" very quickly and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Zhang Ling looked at the phone screen with a happy smile in her eyes.
Which of the two father and daughters just lied?
To be honest, she was more willing to believe Xiaodouzi's expose of Li Xiang's lies.
Because she is willing to believe this answer.
But what Zhang Ling didn't know was that the answer she wanted to believe was the truth.
Li Xiang did lie.
The purpose of his lies was to make Zhang Ling disappointed in his substitute Li Xiang.
It's just that the goal he wants is not developing in the direction he expected.
Not only did Zhang Ling not feel more disappointed with him.
Instead, he looked forward to getting more happiness from Li Xiang.
However, she still felt guilty for having such thoughts.
After all, they have broken up!
It was she who initiated the breakup.
She can no longer selfishly covet the happiness that comes from Li Xiang.
at this time.
She looked at the phone screen and remembered the mystery.
I also realized that I had never opened the door and entered the room.
So when she raised her hand again and pushed open the door to the room.
She glanced at the layout of the bedroom in surprise.
Unable to believe it, he immediately exited the room and looked around the slightly dim corridor.
"That's not right! This is indeed a wooden house by the lake. But why does the bedroom that opens the door look so much like the bedroom at home?"
After Zhang Ling was sure, she rushed into the room again.
It feels as exciting as discovering a door to a parallel space.
Because if this is really the bedroom in your own home.
Then you will definitely see Xiaodouzi and Li Xiang in the bedroom.
Zhang Ling quickly took a look around the room in front of her.
She determined the decoration style of the room.
As well as the layout of all furnishings in the room.
They are all restored one-to-one exactly according to the bedrooms at home.
How is this going?
The scene where the old lady warned her suddenly came back to her mind.
It felt like I had already expected that she would go to the old lady because of the room problem.
She stopped walking to the door.
She stubbornly asked herself why she wanted to disturb the old lady?
What is there that I can't understand about this kind of thing?
Ai Wu and Wu Ma.
Since the old lady chose to keep her father.
Then the old lady must please her in this way.
It seems that the old lady really loves her father!
Otherwise, you won’t have to worry about her being uncomfortable sleeping outside.
Such a bedroom has been laid out with so much thought.
The old lady just wanted Zhang Ling to truly feel at home.
