Flowers and dances

Chapter 46

Xi Haoze returned to the bedroom, lay on his back on the big bed, and tugged at his wrinkled collar irritably. He opened his eyes and stared at the crystal lamp for a moment, his dark eyes were invisible.

After a long time, he stood up, walked to the dark living room, lit a cigarette, and the cigarette butt flickered in the dark night.The smoke rose round and round until it burned out, leaving a neat trail of ashes on the dark brown floor, and he picked up the phone suddenly.

"Yi Feng, check something for me, as soon as possible." His voice returned to his usual calm.

Xu Yifeng heard the phone call in his deep sleep, and wanted to curse with hatred. He looked at the woman next to him, gently pulled the thin quilt for her, and walked to the balcony with the phone in his hand. He frowned and said angrily , "Where do you want me to check in the middle of the night?"

……

"Okay, okay. I'll contact you as soon as possible." He hung up the phone impatiently.

Meng Xia still woke up, she was always a light sleeper, and she was easily awakened by a little movement.

Xu Yifeng lay back on the bed, and put his hands on Meng Xia's waist naturally. Meng Xia's curled up body was startled, and his calf trembled slightly and kicked his calf with such force that Xu Yifeng pulled her into his arms forcefully.

There was a warm fireplace on her back, but she still couldn't get used to it, she stood there stiffly motionless.The corner of Xu Yifeng's mouth twitched, and the warm breath blew on her neck. Meng Xia struggled, but he was unmoved.

"Xia Xia—" he shouted hoarsely.

Meng Xia bit her lip tightly and closed her eyes tightly.

Xu Yifeng remained silent in the face of her, and the strength in his hands did not feel increased, "Xia Xia, Hao Ze's wife is gone." He paused deliberately, "Do you want to leave too? If you want to leave, you Daddy, don't think about it for the rest of your life." Obviously, the sound quality was still slightly warm just now, but it was as cold as the twelfth lunar month in a moment, and the person in his arms trembled suddenly as he expected.

Immediately, he put her earlobe in his mouth, bit his teeth firmly, and said decisively, "You will never leave in your life."

Xu Yifeng's work efficiency was very fast, and he found Chuwu within a day.When he got the information, he was slightly surprised. Didn't this woman say she went to France? Why did she go to a remote village?He flipped through the documents casually, glanced lightly, and after a few seconds, his eyes froze immediately, and he took a closer look at it in disbelief. It was a prenatal inspection report, and the name on it really made him unable to believe his eyes. Suddenly, a thunderstorm exploded in my mind.

He picked up the phone in a panic, but put it down for a moment.Xi Haoze will practice in the past three months, knowing that he can't come back at all, telling him will only disturb him.He put down the materials and rubbed his temples.

Chu Wu's days in the country passed quickly, and she has completely adapted to the life here.Today is Saturday, so she doesn't have to go to school. She is at home helping grandma make up the mattresses. The old man has been alone for so many years, and many of the mattresses are torn.Chu Wu looked sad. When she went to the county with her neighbor Dabao, she bought two new sets of bed covers and some new clothes for the old lady.When the old lady got the clothes, Chu Wu saw that her eye circles were red, yes, the children are not around, the old man has been used to being cold for so many years, who really cared about her daily necessities.

The outdoor sunshine was particularly good, so she moved the quilt to the yard, where a steel wire was tied to dry the quilt and clothes on weekdays.Standing on tiptoe slightly, he hung the quilt on the steel wire with difficulty.After hanging up, he rubbed his sore arms, if grandma saw her drying the quilt, she would definitely get angry with her again.

After patting the quilt, he sat in the courtyard on a deck chair and basked in the sun.The sun shone warmly on her body, she squinted her eyes, feeling tired little by little.

In the dimness, she felt a pair of familiar hands moving on her stomach, the movements were extremely gentle, she wanted to open her eyes, but the eyelids were too heavy, like a dream.

When I woke up, the sun was no longer as hot as before, and it hung faintly in the sky.When the old lady came back from the outside, she saw the steel wire quilt, and her face immediately sank. She put down the basket in her hand, walked to Chu Wu, and asked with a straight face, "Xiao Wu, why do you always make grandma worry about you?"

Chu Wu felt wronged, and lowered her voice, "Grandma, the three-month critical period has passed, didn't the doctor tell me to exercise more?"

"But you can't climb up and down. The child almost disappeared before, and you don't pay attention now. Hey - what do you want me to say about you?"

Chu Wu took her hand, "Grandma, didn't you say before that you were still working in the fields when you were pregnant with uncle?"

The old lady was helpless, and patted her hand, "People nowadays are all delicate, how can they compare with us at that time, it was common for us to carry burdens with big bellies." The old lady sighed slightly, as if thinking Thinking, "Chuwu, you are still young, and now you have a child. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your child." She has kept these words in her heart for a long time, and she can't just recognize this child and just live like this go down.

Chu Wu silently lowered her head.

"Raising a child is not an easy task." This is just the beginning, will there be more bitterness in the future? "Chuwu, some endings have to be solved by myself."

The breeze was blowing slowly, Chu Wu lowered her voice, her eyes dimmed, "Grandma, I just feel so uncomfortable." She put her hands on her chest, she fell too deep in that hurdle.

"Good boy, everything will pass." The old man's old voice was relieved.

There are no obstacles in this world.

The next day, she and her next-door neighbor went to the county hospital for an obstetric examination.The hospital in the county seat is not big, but there are many people.After taking the registered number, they sat on the wooden chairs in the corridor and waited.Dabao is a very considerate husband. Every time his daughter-in-law has an insurance policy, he has to ask for leave to accompany him, and he also takes good care of Chu Wu along the way.

"I just bought soymilk." Dabao handed the soymilk to his wife and Chuwu.

"Thank you." Chu Wu warmed up slightly as she held the warm soybean milk.

The people sitting around them were all coming for the pregnancy test, they were either husbands or family members, Chu Wu looked away shyly.

Dabao's daughter-in-law glanced at her, then turned to Dabao and said, "Didn't Mom have something for you to buy? You can go now."

Dabao was a little worried.

"I'm with Chuwu, so don't worry about it. You can go and buy it in a while. We just finished the prenatal checkup, so we can go back early."

Dabao nodded and left.

Chu Wu tilted her head and smiled slightly, "Thank you." She knew that Dabao's wife didn't want to make her feel bad, so she let Dabao go. Others' wives and husbands follow her, and she is alone every time. It is a lie to say that she doesn't care.

Xiaobao's daughter-in-law rubbed her waist, "I can't see my feet every day now."

Chu Wu smiled, when she slept at night these days, her calf would cramp from time to time, and when she woke up in the middle of the night, she could only rub it for herself. At that time, she would always feel a little sad and resentful.

"Chuwu, you need to eat more. You have been three months longer and you are still so thin. If you take good care of your mother, your child's nutrition will not be able to keep up later."

People say that she has a big heart and a fat body. In the days in the country, although she was at ease, she probably spent some energy on the things in her heart, so she couldn't get fatter.She often wakes up suddenly at night, and in the dead of night, she will think about what her grandmother said, and it is unfair to a child to give birth to a child alone.

Immersed in her own thoughts, the nurse called her for a long time, and Dabao shook her arm before she could react.

The doctor said that the baby was in good condition. She looked at the baby through the instrument, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes involuntarily.

"Both babies are developing very well." The doctor smiled and reassured.

"I just feel happy." Chu Wu sniffed and said, her fair face was filled with indescribable happiness.She felt that the two children must be very strong in the future. After that accident, they were still tightly attached to her body.For more than three months, she had no reaction to pregnancy at all, and she vaguely felt that the child would be a good-tempered girl.

"Yeah, being pregnant with twins is a blessing."

"Pay attention to nutrition in the later stage. You are too thin, which is not good for mother and child."

Chu Wu nodded, and when she came out, she held a three-dimensional color photo, looking at the small ball, the child, her hope, her whole heart was full, she could swallow any bitterness, any pain.

At the end of December, Xi Haoze finally came back.Returning to City N in a hurry from City F, I was as tired as if I had been run over.Xu Yifeng has been tortured physically and mentally for the first three months.As soon as Xi Haoze returned to N City, he immediately went to his house to return to his orders.

There were several pills on the coffee table, Xi Haoze held a cup in his hand, and swallowed a handful of pills with his head raised.

"What's wrong with your body?" Xu Yifeng looked at his face, which was black and yellow, and his whole body lost weight.

"It's a small matter. I asked you to look into it." His face was pale, and there was tiredness between his brows and eyes.

Earlier, Xu Yifeng was playing procrastination, using Jiang Zhe as a shield to cover it up vaguely. Now that Xi Haoze came back, he couldn't procrastinate any longer, and threw the yellow file bag to his hand.

"I've found him a long time ago, but..." He paused, and Xi Haoze became impatient, "Since when did you become such a mother-in-law?"

"She is now in a village below City X." Xu Yifeng said before he opened the bag.

Xi Haoze opened the bag, and all he saw was a photo. Chu Wu was standing on the podium with his belly upright, his gaze was like a fire, and he was holding the photo tightly with his hands, that belly!The originally flat belly was now protruding, making him unable to move his eyes away. Xi Haoze had never been so panicked and overwhelmed as he was at this moment in his life. He felt suffocated as if he was on the bottom of the sea.

Xu Yifeng looked at the tangled face, and he suddenly recalled a few years ago, when Meng Xia told him that she was pregnant, what kind of mood he felt at that time, maybe it was too long ago, maybe he didn't want to touch her again. , he couldn't remember the situation at that time, and smiled, "That stomach should not be fattened by eating too much."

"Yi Feng, why didn't you tell me earlier! She stayed in that place alone with a child..." Xi Haoze's red eyes trembled, his voice kept rising, and he roared, kicking his face away. On the coffee table, shards of glass shattered all over the floor.

"Three years, it's all a fucking cover!"

Xu Yifeng quickly suppressed him, "Hao Ze, calm down. So what if I told you at the time? Can you find her? Or can you bring her back? Impossible. I believe you know her better. In case your Appearing to stimulate her, she can't say it's not good if she is pregnant with a child..."

That's right, Chu Wu was afraid that she didn't want to see him again, so she lied to him that the child was gone. She used this to lie to him, which shows that she hated him to the core.He took a cold breath, his heart ached every time he took a breath, he was like a trapped beast, suppressed.

"What are you going to do next? Do you want to tell the family?"

Xi Haoze put the photo back with trembling hands, and his voice faded away, "I'll make a long-term plan when I go to see her. I'll keep it a secret from my family." I said it, maybe Grandpa was in a hurry.

Xu Yifeng thought for a while, and said, "Jiang Zhe arranged everything about the hospital before, Hao Ze, this love rival is not ordinary."

"So what." Xi Haoze closed his eyes to hide the pain, but Jiang Zhe never existed between him and Chu Wu.

"Here, I got this specially for you." Xu Yifeng said and took out a card from his pocket.
