After eating the leftover roasted pig's trotters that An Yuanyao and her daughter ate, Liu Changqing simply cleaned up the garbage on the table, tied it up in a plastic bag, and prepared to throw it away with other garbage tomorrow.
After dealing with this, Liu Changqing went to the bathroom to wash his hands, tidied up a little, then walked out of the bathroom towards the bedroom.
After opening the door, he saw An Yuanyao lying on the bed with her back to him.
It seemed that he had no idea about Liu Changqing's entry.
After walking over and coming to the bedside, Liu Changqing reached out and shook her shoulders gently, and asked softly.
"What's wrong?"
"It's still Xia Zhi's business..."
The tone was a little weak, and Liu Changqing could even hear the sense of self-blame in An Yuanyao's words.
"I'm so useless, I can't help at all at this time..."
Such an answer surprised Liu Changqing. He originally thought that An Yuanyao suddenly stopped eating just now because she was simply tired of it.
I didn't expect that she was thinking about this.
"Okay, don't think so much...this is not your problem."
After saying comforting words, Liu Changqing put his hands on An Yuanyao's shoulders and straightened her body. When An Yuanyao's body sleeping on her side straightened, Liu Changqing noticed that her eyes were a little red.
For a moment, Liu Changqing felt very surprised.
An Yuanyao seemed to be holding back, raising her hand to wipe her eyes with the back of her hand. Women after pregnancy will become more emotionally sensitive, and their way of thinking will be very different from usual.
This is the situation for An Yuanyao now.
Because what happened to Liu Xiazhi reminded her of the unborn child in her belly, and the thought that when the child grows up, she may also be bullied by others.
She had no way to deal with it and felt aggrieved involuntarily.
More like self-blame...
Liu Changqing looked at An Yuanyao's red eyes, as if he was about to shed tears in the next second. This scene made him feel something strange in his heart.
He raised his hand and stroked An Yuanyao's cheek. Feeling Liu Changqing's move, An Yuanyao also held his hand and sniffed.
"Maybe I think too much. I feel a little strange recently..."
"Don't think too much. Tomorrow I will take you downstairs to bask in the sun. If you stay at home every day, you will have random thoughts after a long time."
"Um……"
Listening to the response from An Yuanyao in his ears, Liu Changqing stopped talking and just lay down, sleeping on the same side as An Yuanyao.
Unknowingly, An Yuanyao's breathing calmed down, and when Liu Changqing looked at her, he saw that she had her eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping.
After staying like this for a while, Liu Changqing relaxed his movements, slowly opened the door and walked out.
Stand outside the door.
After standing there for a while, he turned and looked at his daughter's room.
But his own memory appeared in his mind.
In his original world, his happy family of three, and the scene when his parents educated him from childhood to adulthood, this impressed him so much that he subconsciously put himself in their shoes and thought about it.
If this had happened to me when I was in elementary school...how would my father have dealt with it?
After thinking about it, Liu Changqing's original calm expression disappeared and was replaced by a smile indulging in happiness.
Just thinking about everything that happened in the past, a warm current came to my heart.
After thinking about it, Liu Changqing turned around and walked into the kitchen. After a while, he walked out with an empty drink bottle in his hand.
After going to the bathroom to fill up with water, Liu Changqing came to her daughter's room, opened the door and walked in.
At this time before, my daughter might have been watching TV or playing with a handheld device, but now she was curled up in bed, feeling a little depressed.
After noticing the movement at the door, he turned around and took a look. When he saw his father walking in, he turned around again.
Muttering.
"I want to be alone..."
There was no response. Liu Changqing just came to the bed and helped his daughter up, holding her little head in his hands and forcing her to look at him.
Liu Xiazhi kicked her father with her little feet.
But Liu Changqing completely ignored it, let go of his hands, picked up the empty bottle that had just been filled with water, and raised it in front of his daughter.
He said with a serious expression.
"Xia Zhi, what do you think this is?"
"Um?"
The kicking movement stopped, and Liu Xiazhi looked at her father in confusion. She looked at the plastic bottle in her father's hand inexplicably.
After being stunned for a moment, he answered tentatively.
"Is this...water?"
"It can be said to be water, or it can be said to be not water..."
With that said, Liu Changqing unscrewed the bottle cap, pointed at the plastic bottle that was about to overflow the bottle mouth, and said earnestly.
"People are like an empty bottle. When all the negative emotions are full, it will overflow."
"..."
Liu Xiazhi's eyes widened a little.
She had no idea what her father was talking about.
Liu Changqing didn't explain too much, he just looked at the mouth of the bottle with his eyes, then handed it to his daughter and continued.
"And an empty bottle is like an abyss. If a person doesn't have any unhappy things, he can't be considered a human being. As the saying goes, when you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring..."
"Dad, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Interrupting Liu Changqing's long speech, Liu Xiazhi said this sentence, which made Liu Changqing, who was preparing to teach his child an ideological lesson, unable to speak on the spot.
Thinking about it carefully, this kind of topic does seem a bit profound for my daughter.
It's better to just...just be simple and crude.
With that said, Liu Changqing lifted the bottle upwards.
"Look inside the bottle."
Liu Xiazhi didn't understand her father's behavior, but she still chose to look at the mouth of the bottle.
Soon enough, at the moment when his daughter's face was pointed at the mouth of the bottle, Liu Changqing squeezed the plastic bottle hard, and the water in the bottle suddenly spurted out from the mouth of the bottle.
"ah!!"
With a scream, Liu Xiazhi's eyes widened in shock. After touching the water on his face, he looked at his smiling father in front of him.
Before she could speak, Liu Changqing's words came out first.
"That's what dad told you today. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me...you beat her! Our old Liu family is not afraid of trouble!"
Liu Xiazhi obviously understood such easy-to-understand words and looked at his father blankly.
When he was just eating pig's trotters, his father asked him to find his brother to solve the problem. At that moment, Liu Xiazhi was a little disappointed.
During this time, her father was different from before in her mind. For the first time, she discovered that her father always appeared when she was most sad and needed him most.
So when she heard the conversation between Liu Changqing and An Yuanyao, he returned to his room in a depressed mood, sulking alone.
She doesn't want her father to say some big truths, nor does she want her father to think about the overall situation. She just wants her father to simply care about herself and consider herself...
I have a lot on my mind.
Liu Xiazhi suddenly rushed forward and hugged Liu Changqing tightly in front of her.
Liu Changqing hugged her and stood up.
Said softly.
"Go take a shower, you smell like roasted pig's trotters."
