Less than a week before the due date, Xie Ying notified Guo Aiyun. She said that becoming a grandma was a big event and she had to be personally involved.
The Xie family agreed with Xie Ying's idea. They were afraid that Guo Aiyun would be uncomfortable, so they found her a hotel to stay in near the hospital. Guo Aiyun was polite and indifferent, and finally accepted the Xie family's kindness.
Wang Haochuan took leave and came back excitedly to accompany the childbirth. Fan Yuzhuo rarely contacted Wang Haochuan directly, but this time she sent Wang Haochuan several WeChat messages for the first time, telling him not to worry and to pay attention to safety on the road.
Xie Ying knew very well that her mother's psychological shadow had always existed. She was very similar to her mother's pattern of pregnancy and childbirth, so her mother was worried that this pattern would become a curse.
Wang Haochuan arrived by plane. He went home to visit his wife first, and then he was going to drive his mother out of the nursing home.
"Can you drive?" Xie Ying was very worried: "Although you have a driver's license, you have very few opportunities to drive."
"I've been driving a lot in the past six months." Wang Haochuan said, "I bought a second-hand car. I always rub against my colleagues' cars, and I feel bad about it."
"Then you must be careful." Fan Yuzhuo said nervously: "Xiaoying is about to give birth, you must not have an accident."
Wang Haochuan smiled and said: "Mom, I'm just as nervous as you. I won't do anything if I'm not sure."
The call "Mom" reached Fan Yuzhuo's heart, and she nodded approvingly.
After Wang Haochuan left, Fan Yuzhuo did some ideological work for his daughter: "Haochuan has changed his words, so you should change your words too! Call Guo Aiyun mom, and you won't lose a piece of meat."
"That won't work, I won't shout." Xie Ying said stubbornly: "She abandoned Haochuan, she took the initiative to sever the relationship between mother and child, so is she still Haochuan's mother? Haochuan will not forgive me, and neither will I.
Yes. Unless she realizes her mistake, I will never call her mom."
"I really can't do anything about you." Fan Yuzhuo shook his head: "You are just like your brother when you are stubborn. That's how you, the old Xie family, are."
Wang Haochuan picked up his mother smoothly. Except for him calling "Mom", the mother and son did not say a word.
Dusk fell, and it was still an hour's drive from the port city. Wang Haochuan heard the "gurgling" sound of his mother's stomach. He parked the car on the side of the road, found a small restaurant, ordered two dishes, and had dinner with his mother.
.
After the rice was served, Guo Aiyun asked the waiter for a bowl of water, and she soaked the rice in it. Even so, she ate it in small bites and swallowed it hard.
Wang Haochuan's heart was hit hard again.
"Mom, are you having trouble digesting?"
"I don't know either." Guo Aiyun swallowed in small mouthfuls while gently beating his chest: "For me, eating is a kind of torture."
"Then...I'll take you to the hospital first."
"No, in the spring, your wife bought a physical examination package and checked it for me. Her body was clean and there was nothing."
"Xiaoying... did I buy you a physical examination package?"
"Well, it is said that she buys them for her family every year, and she even bought mine this year." Guo Aiyun said with a wry smile: "She is really kind-hearted."
Wang Haochuan nodded silently.
"Then, why do you have trouble eating? Is it because you had surgery before? Or is it uncomfortable somewhere?"
Guo Aiyun burped and said with difficulty: "It's because my stomach is always bloated. I just need to take medicine, but it won't work if I don't take medicine. Just live like this."
Wang Haochuan stopped talking again.
But he thought in his heart that he wanted to buy better medicine to make his mother's quality of life better.
On the way to Hong Kong City again, Wang Haochuan tried to talk to his mother: "Do you want to live in the house I bought, or in the hotel booked by the Xie family for you?"
"Whatever, come whatever is convenient for you."
She can always chatter to death.
Moreover, she has no interest in the house her son bought.
Wang Haochuan sighed slightly
, held the steering wheel tightly and sent mother to the hotel.
He took the initiative to ask again: "Mom, do you want to meet Xiaoying?"
"No need." Guo Aiyun said stiffly: "They don't want to see me, so I'd better not look for trouble."
"Okay, I'll help you check in. If you need anything tonight, just call me."
Guo Aiyun agreed coldly.
Guo Aiyun was very quiet. She didn't want to eat with others, so Wang Haochuan bought it and sent it to her. She didn't want to go out for a walk, so she hid in the room and watched TV.
When Wang Haochuan brought her dinner, she was eating a piece of calcium milk biscuit dipped in water. Her swallowing was still not good, and it was difficult to eat the soft biscuit.
She was thin, hunched over, and struggling to swallow food, which made Wang Haochuan feel sad again.
Calcium milk biscuits were the most common breakfast he and his sister had when they were children. Now they have stopped eating them. However, Guo Aiyun has been eating the same calcium milk biscuits for decades.
Can she not afford other food?
No, it was because she was used to being alone. No matter what she ate or where she went, it was boring. She was closed in her own world and lived a monotonous and boring life day after day.
Wang Haochuan relented again.
"Mom, let me take you for a walk outside. The sea breeze is very cool."
"I'm not going, you go with your wife! Isn't she about to give birth?"
"There are still two days before the due date, and her mother is with her." Wang Haochuan stretched out his hand stiffly, and then grabbed his mother's hand stiffly: "Mom, go for a walk. If you stay in the house all the time, problems will arise.
"
Guo Aiyun's hand felt like an electric shock, but she didn't pull it back in a hurry. She acquiesced to her son's suggestion and she could go for a walk.
Although it was midsummer, the harbor city was still very cool. Mother and son sometimes walked side by side, sometimes in front and back, each going his own way.
Guo Aiyun first said: "This place seems not too far from where you go to school."
"Well, it's pretty close."
"It's so fast, more than ten years have passed."
"Um……"
Wang Haochuan didn't want to think back. High school life was too hard, and the pain of being abandoned by both parents was unforgettable to him. Without firm belief, he would have given up long ago.
Guo Aiyun was tired from walking. Looking at all kinds of people, he suddenly sighed: "There are so many people in this world, it's not easy for you to stand out!"
"I'm not outstanding, I'm just an ordinary person who works hard to live a good life."
Guo Aiyun pursed her lips, she was embarrassed to say any more.
She has never provided any help to her son. Otherwise, his son would probably be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and he would not have to buy a house on his own.
Guo Aiyun walked behind her son. She found that her son was very thin, but his shoulders were broad and he felt very secure. She had an urge to hug her son, but she always hesitated.
On their way back to the hotel, the mother and son received a call from Wang Haochuan. It was from Fan Yuzhuo, saying that Xie Ying's stomach had suddenly moved and she might give birth soon.
Wang Haochuan didn't bother taking his mother back to the hotel. He hurriedly gave his mother directions and ran home with his long legs.
The sudden turn of events left Guo Aiyun at a loss, and she ran with her son.
Wang Haochuan was waiting for the traffic light at the intersection. There were only two seconds left for the red light and it was about to turn green. Wang Haochuan rushed out.
But in the last few seconds, a car came rushing from the vertical direction. The car was going very fast, and just as it was about to hit Wang Haochuan, a force pushed him away.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp brake sound echoed on the street, which made people shudder.
The driver got out of the car angrily and yelled at Wang Haochuan: "Are you looking for death? Are you rushing to reincarnate? You really know how to seek bad luck! Bah! "
Wang Haochuan was scolded humbly and kept saying "I'm sorry" to the other party. Guo Aiyun sat on the ground and scolded the other party without showing any signs of weakness: "You drive so fast, you are in a hurry to reincarnate! You have the ability to adjust the surveillance to see
look,
You must be speeding! Do you dare to look at the surveillance camera?"
The driver felt quite guilty and did not dare to curse any more. He even said a few soft words and asked them if they were injured.
If he hadn't been pushed by his mother, Wang Haochuan would have been hit by the car. He moved his hands and feet, but it was nothing serious. They were probably all flesh injuries.
So, he said to the driver: "It's okay, you can leave quickly."
The driver hurriedly got into the car and ran away.
An old man passing by grabbed Wang Haochuan and said seriously: "Young man, why do you only care about yourself? Have you ever asked if your mother was injured?"
Wang Haochuan suddenly realized that his mother was still sitting on the ground.
He only had Xie Ying in his heart, but he forgot about his mother.
The old man added: "If it weren't for your mother, your bones would have been broken. Alas, parents are willing to sacrifice themselves at any time for their children, but children are indifferent to their parents' pain. It's really chilling.
!」
Guo Aiyun did not complain to her son. She just lay half on the ground, her legs were straight and drooped, and her waist could not straighten up.
Regret flooded into Wang Haochuan's heart: "Mom, why are you doing this? You did it for me..."
"I don't understand myself either." Guo Aiyun's tone was still very calm: "Go to your wife quickly."
Wang Haochuan couldn't move his legs. He first called the emergency number, and then called Fan Yuzhuo: "Mom, there's something going on here, I can't get there..."
Fan Yuzhuo immediately got angry: "You can't make it? Then why are you coming back? Just as a decoration? Your wife is about to give birth, why are you missing out at the critical moment?"
Wang Haochuan said nothing and silently endured Fan Yuzhuo's scolding.
When Fan Yuzhuo became silent, he asked: "Mom, how is Xiaoying's situation there? Have you arrived at the hospital?"
"You don't have to worry!"
Fan Yuzhuo hung up the phone neatly.
Wang Haochuan didn't have time to feel aggrieved, so he called Xie Qingshou again. After being scolded, Xie Qingshou said that Fan Yuzhuo had already called the emergency call as soon as Xie Ying's water broke.
"I mean Haochuan..." Xie Qingshou said naggingly: "You are usually so reliable, why did something go wrong now?"
"Second uncle, I'll tell you later. I'll take my mother to the hospital first..."
With tears in his eyes, Wang Haochuan looked at his mother who was curled up into a ball.
He still hated her and had not forgiven her. However, he was also moved by her sudden burst of maternal love. He was willing to believe in maternal love again.
