The children of the Qiao family

Chapter 46

Qi Chenggang sent Qiao Simi to the hospital.

When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that I would stay in the hospital for observation, but the bed was very tight, and I could only add an extra bed if I wanted to live in it. The conditions might be worse, but there was nothing I could do.

It wasn't until almost dawn that Simei was able to lie down on the hospital bed.

Looking at the mottled water stains on the ceiling, Simei felt extremely hot, as if her heart was burning with fire.Qi Chenggang covered her with a blanket, but she suddenly lifted it away, and it was all piled up at the foot of the bed. She kicked the wrapped blanket with her feet, making the bed rails rattle.

Qi Chenggang asked: What's the matter with you?Where is it uncomfortable?
Simei didn't answer, and called after a while: "Qi Chenggang, come here a little bit, I'll ask you something."

Qi Chenggang came to sit beside Simei's bed, and in the gradually bright morning light, Simei looked closely at Qi Chenggang.

Qi Chenggang saw that she hadn't asked a question for a long time, and thought that maybe she didn't have anything important to say, but she was just showing a little temper. Women who are pregnant with children are always a little weird. Be a bit more tempered, as if you have obtained unreasonable privileges.But it's no wonder, with such a heavy thing in his stomach, he can't sleep well, and he's tired from walking. It's normal to lose his temper.

Thinking about it, Qi Chenggang smiled at Simei and asked her: Do you want to drink soy milk?Put more sugar and add four fried dough sticks?Now that I have it earlier, I will buy it.

Simei felt that those words that were rushing out of her throat were retreating a little bit in her stomach. She, Qiao Simei, was not the prime minister, how could she hold such a tone in her stomach?However, seeing Qi Chenggang's smiling face, why did she want to swallow her anger again?

Qiao Simi felt that she really was a [-].

Around ten o'clock in the morning of this day, Simei's stomach suddenly moved, and Simei shouted in surprise: "Doctor, doctor, come quickly."

The doctor said that Simei's baby was fine, but since the due date was approaching, she had to be more careful.Qi Chenggang said that you should just live here and wait for the baby to be born, but Simei refused and insisted on going home.She couldn't stand the smell in the ward. In the second half of the day, a nurse came in to wash the lower body of the mothers. The unobstructed ugliness made Simei almost scream. She knew that she would have to go through this test soon. , but it's good to take a second look.

In just half a month, Qiao Simei was really going to give birth.

That day she squatted down to pick up something, and her stomach started to hurt.Old Man Qiao was the only one at home, so Simei called Qi Chenggang and Sanli respectively.

When Simei arrived at the hospital, she was immediately sent to the delivery room. The doctor said that her ten fingers had been prescribed and she was about to give birth prematurely.

Simei was carried to the movable bed and sent to the delivery room.

She suddenly grabbed Qi Chenggang's hand tightly with one hand, and pulled his head down with the other hand, moved her mouth together, and said through gritted teeth: "You're going to be satisfied, you're going to be satisfied, I'm going to die, I tell you, I'm going to die." If you don't pass this level, my mother will give birth to a child and die!
Qi Chenggang was frightened by her low and desperate voice.No, no, he only knows how to say these two words.

Simei continued to grit her teeth and said: If you want to marry again, you have to wait until my bones are cold, don't wait!You can't wait!Qi Chenggang, I...

It was too late to say anything more, Simei had already been pushed into a door, Qi Chenggang had to throw away his hand, he looked at Simei's open hand, pointing at him, and heard her mournful cry: Cheng Gang, Cheng Gang.

In Qi Chenggang's life, there were often times when his head was hot when he was facing a woman. At this very hot moment, he believed that his feelings for that woman were really true.However, neither time was true this time.

Although Qiao Simi was sent to the delivery room with an extremely tragic posture, her delivery process was unimaginably smooth, and the baby fell to the ground in less than an hour and a half.The sharp pain suddenly flowed out of the body, and the internal organs were loosened, and Simei asked stupidly: "Doctor, have you been born yet?"

The midwife was in a good mood because of the ease of work this time, and joked with Simei: What do you think, silly girl?

Simei gave birth to a daughter, and what was comforting was that although Qi Chenggang was the only child, his parents welcomed the little girl very much and were very happy from the bottom of their hearts.Qi Chenggang's mother said: How can our little doll of Gangzi not be beautiful?
It is really a very beautiful little thing, with clear eyebrows when it is out of the moon, snow-white pink, black hair and red lips, eyes are blindly black, and there is a faint blue circle around the pupils, and it is born with curly hair. A bit like her grandma, she won her grandmother's favor especially.

Simei was amazed in her heart that she could give birth to such a beautiful child, like Snow White. The joy made her almost forget the painful and desperate scenes she saw a few days ago.Until one day, at noon, Qi Chenggang answered a pager.

Simei seemed to have some kind of strange instinct, the beep beep sounded, and before Qi Chenggang had time to take out the pager, she had a premonition that it was the woman calling.

Qiao Simei snatched the Hanxian pager from Qi Chenggang's hands, and there was a line on it: I haven't seen you for a long time, come out?old place?
Simei used all her strength to smash the machine on Qi Chenggang's head, and with a bang, Qi Chenggang immediately covered his forehead.

Simei fell on the bed and cried loudly: Ah, please be quiet, please be safe!
Qi Chenggang was stunned by the beating all of a sudden. He didn't see the words on the pager. He was dizzy and just covered his forehead with his hands, where the pain was burning.

Sanli and Qi Chenggang's mother who were in the main room outside ran in.

Things are unstoppable.

Qi Chenggang was scolded by his mother, and Sanli invited them out with a cold face.

Qi Chenggang's mother still delivered meals to Simei three times a day, and helped to bathe and nurse the baby.Simei just lay on her back on the bed, motionless, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes and into her ear sockets, itching slightly.

Qi Chenggang's mother wrung out a hot towel to cover her eyes, while kindly persuading her, telling her not to cry and damage her eyes, which is a lifetime thing.

She was talking to Simei slowly. Our Gangzi was very honest when he was a child, but after a while, he started recruiting girls after he became a senior. , Later he got older, so I can't say anymore.He told me everything about the last time he was in the army. He has been like this since he was a child, and he will speak out with a straight face when he does something wrong, and he is not afraid of embarrassing himself.He has no bad intentions. I have wronged you. I asked him to admit his mistakes to you and make amends. Now that you have children, you should live well.I'm not afraid of losing face, let me tell you that Gangzi's father had the same problem when he was young, and when he gets old, he'll be fine, take it easy.

Simei sobbed and said: I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the day when he gets old and takes care of himself.

Qi Chenggang's mother bent down and straightened Simei's disheveled hair: "It doesn't matter, let me tell you, I told our fortunes for Gangzi, and the blind fortune teller said that other people are well-behaved, but their lives are not.It will be fine, one day it will be fine.

The next day Qi Chenggang came over to apologize to Simei.

He squatted beside the bed, like a docile and pitiful big dog, saying sorry, but there was some grievance in his expression, like a child who had to admit his mistake under the threat of an adult.He said, I don't like her at all.

God knows, Qi Chenggang's words are true, he was overheated with Dawa, this time he was just seduced by that woman once.Qi Chenggang was full of grievances, really, that woman, like a mother leopard in love, was so much older than him.

Qi Chenggang looked at Simei and ignored him for a long time, stood up by himself, and hugged his little daughter.

The little girl just woke up, Qi Chenggang hugged her and paced by the window, the child blushed from sleep, his eyes fell into a piece of golden sunlight, he waved his little hands and patted the fun place his father had just scratched. Blue cheeks.

Qi Chenggang stared intently at his daughter's face, that kind of concentration looked extremely moving in Simei's eyes.Simei thought, one day this beautiful father and daughter will stand in front of her side by side, they are all hers, all of them.

When Qiao Yicheng finally found out about Qi Chenggang and came to find Simei, Simei had already forgiven Qi Chenggang.

Seeing Qiao Yicheng's furious look, Simei wondered why Sanli told her elder brother about it.

Qiao Yicheng slapped Qi Chenggang across the face. With a loud slap, five finger marks appeared on Qi Chenggang's face immediately.

Simei called: Big Brother, Big Brother.

Yicheng stared at Simei, and Simei felt guilty, and said babblingly: Brother, he changed it, he promised him to change it, and he will change it.

Yicheng pointed at Simei's nose with a finger, and said: Qiao Simei, I really don't need to meddle in your business!
Qiao Simei rushed over, hugged Yicheng's waist, and refused to let Yicheng go.Qi Chenggang walked out beside the door in desperation, and closed the door for them.

Simei didn't cry or say anything, she just hugged Yicheng's waist.

The baby on the crib started to cry, and Yicheng broke away from Simei's hand and walked over to pick her up.

The little girl stopped crying as soon as she was picked up, and her thick eyelashes were stained with tears, making her look blacker and longer, like a doll, with her pink tongue sticking out to lick the uncle's fingers.

Yicheng sighed: Simei, Qi Chenggang may be born restless, so be careful and leave yourself a way out.Don't plunge into the vortex of emotion, and you will not be able to climb ashore, and you will drown yourself.

Simei said in a complacent way: He promised to change it. We have fortune-telling. Others behave according to the rules, but their fates are not.

Yicheng snorted loudly from his nostrils.

Simei leaned over, resting her head on Yicheng's shoulder.

Since she was a child, she felt that he liked Sanli more than herself, and she always felt that he was partial.However, at this moment, Simei thought, after all, he is still her own brother, and at this time, she can only rely on him, and only he will jump out and say a fair word for herself.

Sanli asked Yicheng in private: Brother, let him forget about Qi Chenggang?

Yicheng was upset: what should I do?Simei loves him with all her heart, what should we do?
Sanli looked worried, Yicheng advised her: let her go.The days are always going down, and life is always moving forward.Qiao Simi, she has always been confused, and she will become wise one day.People who have been confused, once they wake up, are smarter than anyone else.

This word reached Simei's ears, and she was stunned for a while.

Er Qiang's job at the post office is not to deliver letters, but to carry mail parcels, which is quite tiring, but fortunately, Er Qiang endures hardships.

However, his life is not going well.

Sun Xiaomo's job in the bookstore has always been quite stable. A place like a bookstore has been making good profits over the years. I heard that the store will soon be expanded to become a bookstore.The counter where Xiaomo is is selling teaching materials and teaching aids. These days, parents are looking forward to their children becoming a success. All kinds of reference books and exercise books are sold as much as they buy. Those parents are taking home stacks of books for their children. , as if you don't need money.Sun Xiaomo's monthly salary is several times higher than that of the top two.

The Sun family looked down on Er Qiang as he gradually declined, and they looked down on him a little. They regretted assigning Xiao Mo to him. It's a bit irritating to speak forcefully.

Er Qiang has unspeakable grievances in his heart, but one incident after another at home is chaotic, who can he talk to.The eldest brother took care of his own affairs and took care of his younger sisters, and also worried about finding a job for him. Er Qiang felt that he had to be more sensible and swallowed all his anger.

On this day, Er Qiang went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables as usual and came home. Xiaomo’s mother weighed the tofu in the bag and said, “This kind of tofu is so watery, it’s all rotten before it’s cooked, and it doesn’t smell like beans at all. You don't buy this kind of stuff you can't always remember.Buy it again.

Er Qiang asked: Which one is better?

Xiaomo's mother said: "Two streets away, there is a new bean product store. The old northern tofu is very delicious. Go and buy a few pieces. Hurry up. I'm waiting to cook the soup."

Er Qiang took the small aluminum pot and walked around two streets and finally found the shop with a small facade.There is a large round plaque on the cabinet, covered with a washed white gauze cloth.

Er Qiang said: Master, you will get four pieces of old tofu.

Someone raised his head from under the counter when he heard the sound, and reached out to pick up the small pot that Er Qiang handed over.

In an instant, Qiao Erqiang remembered the cartoon he watched when he was a teenager.

"Nezha Navigating the Sea".

The reborn Nezha opened his eyes in the lotus, saw his master Taiyi, rushed over and called: Master, Master, Master.

Qiao Erqiang burst into tears.
