Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt towards my child. At the same time, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Think about those cadres in Shangjiang City, they are all well-behaved and cautious in front of me.
Only the little guy in front of me didn't take me seriously.
But think about it, in the eyes of parents, their children will always be children. Even if the parents are eighty years old and the children are forty or fifty years old, the children will still be children in the eyes of the parents. Similarly, in the eyes of children,
In their eyes, no matter how high their rank or prestige is in society, their parents are still their own parents, and they will make a fuss in front of them just like children.
In the eyes of parents, their children will never grow up. In the eyes of children, parents are always their harbor, and rebellious emotions may break out in front of their parents at any time.
Fortunately, Yu Min came with her child just at this time. Yu Min held the child in her arms and her face was covered with sweat. She said to me apologetically: "I'm sorry, the faucet at home is leaking. I asked someone to fix it."
She became much more haggard, her complexion became much darker, and her former beauty was only left in her faint smile and charm. I said to her: "It's okay. Let's go." Then I took a look at the child in her hand.
I found that the child was also smiling at me. The child looked really like me, which made me feel strange. I asked her: "The child is over two years old, right? Why? He doesn't know how to do it yet."
walk?"
She shook her head and said, "I can walk now, but I still can't walk very steadily. I don't want my child to get tired."
I stretched out my hand towards her and said, "Let me hold the baby. You are too tired like this."
She handed the child to me. I carefully observed the child's condition, mainly to check his legs. Fortunately, there was no obvious difference in the child's legs, and none of the muscles in any leg had atrophied. I
It is estimated that the child's current situation is due to some muscle tone problems. The child has cerebral palsy, and functional impairment of the lower limbs caused by cerebral palsy is the most common condition.
I felt guilty again. I felt that I cared too little about this child.
I put the child on the ground, then slowly let go of my hands, and the child stood firm. After taking a few steps back, I said to the child: "Come, come to uncle."
The child smiled and took a few steps in my direction. His gait staggered. This further confirmed my judgment just now.
Then I went to pick up the child and said, "Let's go in."
Only then did I realize that Yuanyuan was looking at me and the child in my arms unhappily next to us. I smiled at him, "Yuanyuan, this is your brother. You should spend more time with him later."
Let’s play.”
Yu Min was about to hold the child's hand, but the child suddenly put his hand behind his back. He turned away angrily and ignored us. Yu Min also smiled immediately, and she said to me: "Give me the child."
Your son is jealous."
I smiled bitterly and handed the child in my hand to her, and suddenly impulsively said to her softly: "This is my son too."
Her face immediately turned red and she said softly to me: "Let's go in."
In fact, it is impossible for Yu Min’s child to play here. After all, the child’s activities are not very convenient. Yuanyuan played happily. I found that when Yu Min looked at Yuanyuan, there was something in her eyes.
A slight sadness.
I noticed the look in her eyes. At this time, we were sitting on a bench not far from where Yuanyuan was playing. Yu Min held the child. I asked her softly: "Yu Min, do you think
Is your child too unfortunate?"
She was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly and said softly: "My child's health is better than anything else. I really envy your son."
I shook my head and said: "Yu Min, the child's health is important, but what the child needs more is father's love and mother's love. Yuanyuan's mother has passed away for so long, and now I find that the child's temper is a bit weird. This is actually a lack of maternal love.
What a performance. Alas! This child is so pitiful. I feel sorry for him and our children."
She immediately came and took my hand, "Brother Feng, don't say that. But you can find a new mother for your child. According to your conditions, it should be easy to find another one, right?"
I still shook my head and said: "How can it be that simple? Yu Min, I think those things I did in the past were too ridiculous. Now that I think about it, I feel that those things I did in the past are too unbelievable. I regret it now, but it is too late to regret.
After all, those things have happened. Now I don’t want to find a wife anymore, so let’s live like this. It’s okay if the child doesn’t have a mother. It’s good to let him have some unique character. There are many single-parent families nowadays. God is also a single parent.
Where are the parents?"
She immediately asked me: "Brother Feng, what do you mean by this? I don't understand."
I replied: "Western legends say that God created Adam and Eve, and then we humans came into being. So our ancestors were all single-parent families, because there is no mention in Western legends about the God who created us humans.
Wife. Haha! In fact, what this sentence means is that a single-parent family will not completely affect the child's future."
She said softly: "Brother Feng, you know so much."
I smiled bitterly and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Yu Min, I feel very guilty because I have not fulfilled any responsibility for your child. But don't worry, I will find a way to make this child a normal child."
Same thing. By the way, Yu Min, do you have any difficulties at home now?"
She shook her head slightly, "Brother Feng, nothing is more important to me now than this child. As long as this child can become as healthy as other children, I can do whatever I want. Now, money
This thing is no longer the most important thing to me.”
I said, "But, does it cost money to treat children?"
She still shook her head slightly and said, "My man is very good to me, and I don't want him to misunderstand me."
I understood immediately, but felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. I asked her: "Yu Min, you just said on the phone that your man is in sales. What products is he making now?"
She replied: "He resigned from his original employer not long ago. His income in that employer was too low. Although he worked two jobs and the income was okay, it was too tiring. Now he works in a cement company
Factory sales.”
I thought to myself that I could help him in this matter. Then I said to her: "Yu Min, let's do this. Now our Shangjiang City is undergoing large-scale urban reconstruction, and the demand for cement is very large.
You can ask him to come to me."
She was startled for a moment, then shook her head, and then looked at the child in her hand, "Brother Feng, this is not allowed."
I immediately understood: this child looks so much like me that her man will definitely become suspicious once he sees me. I thought about it and said, "Well, let me tell the people below.
When the time comes, just ask him to go directly to the people below me."
She said: "But how can I tell her?"
I thought so. How could he not be suspicious of someone helping him for no reason? I thought about it again, and then asked her: "What is the name of the cement factory where your man works?"
She told me immediately. I nodded, "Then don't worry about it, I'll make the arrangements. Don't worry, he won't suspect anything."
She looked at me with questions in her eyes. I smiled at her and said, "Yu Min, don't you still believe me?"
She was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly, and then said softly: "Thank you, Brother Feng."
Her words should have made me happy, but at this moment, I felt deeper guilt in my heart. I owed her and the child so much, and such a thing was a piece of cake for me.
At noon, I took her and the two children to a restaurant for dinner. After the meal, she refused to let me take her back. Now I understand a little bit, maybe because the children look so much like me.
, so she worried that her neighbors would criticize her behind her back.
I went to call a taxi for her, then took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the taxi driver, "Please take her home. You can give her the rest of the money."
This time Yu Min did not refuse.
A few days later, I arranged the matter for Yu Min’s man. In fact, it was very simple for me to arrange this matter——
I called Yu Yong over and told him directly: "Yu Yong, you also know that I have never done anything to help my friends since I arrived in Shangjiang. But this time I want to help one of my friends.
Friend, but I still have a principle, that is, I must never violate the principle."
He smiled and said, "Mayor Feng, this is nothing. Tell me, what is it?"
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "Now that I think about what happened to your father-in-law last time, I suddenly felt that I was too left-wing. In fact, each of us has some relationships to maintain, and it is right to help others. As long as we
It’s okay if I don’t benefit personally.”
He said: "Mayor Feng, the situation was different at that time. That time someone obviously wanted to use my affairs to get you into trouble. And after all, that was my father-in-law. Although I did not profit from it,
After all, he and I are family members."
I thought to myself: You are not particularly naive and confused. I nodded and said: "That's true." Then I said to him: "A friend of mine is engaged in sales in a cement factory. Now his family is in difficulty, so I
I hope I can help him. Do you think this will work? Take the initiative to contact the cement factory and use part of the cement they produce at a fair price. But I don’t want my friend to know that I am helping.
Him, so you have to discuss with the director of that cement factory and ask them to send my friend to Shangjiang City for sales. Both you and the director of that cement factory must keep this matter confidential.
