Chapter 107

"Mom, Mom, don't go. Mom, please, don't go, okay? Don't abandon Xiaoman, don't abandon me and Dad." Lou Xiaoman begged his mother who was carrying the suitcase with tears streaming down his face.

"Xiao Man, mom is sorry for you, but mom can't take it anymore, forgive mom." Mother pushed her away cruelly, and got into the taxi without looking back.

"Mom, mom, mom, don't leave, don't leave Xiaoman behind." She cried and rushed towards the taxi that had already left, and fell down on the side of the road sadly.

And the mother sitting in the taxi also burst into tears, and whispered in her heart, Xiaoman, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Lou Xiaoman, who fell on the ground, declined the support of the kind-hearted people on the side of the road, got up from the ground in a daze, and walked home in a daze.

Back home, looking around the deserted surroundings, she numbly walked to the phone, dialed a long, long number, waited for a long time, and finally dialed through.

"What's the matter, Xiaoman? Dad is busy, so you can call later." Dad's voice sounded from the other end, and it could be heard that he didn't want to answer the phone.

"Dad..." She shed tears before saying a word, her lips were moving, but she couldn't say what was in her throat.

"Okay, Xiao Man, Dad has a lot of work. You are obedient, listen to your mother, go to school obediently, eat well, and buy gifts for you and Mom when Dad comes back. Good boy, goodbye." Dad babbled at the other end After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone before waiting for her to answer.

beep.

Dad, do you know what?Mom is gone, she doesn't want us anymore.She spoke silently to the muff in her hand, tears streaming down her face.

That year, she was nine years old.

Lou Yu is her father, the most famous archaeologist in China, 360 days a year, at least 360 days are spent in archaeology or in the laboratory, and the remaining five days are spent at home reading books. Said to accompany them.

The most beautiful day in summer, half a year after my mother ran away from home, the building hastily returned.

"Xiaoman, Xiaoman's mother. I'm back." Lou Yu happily opened the door, and yelled before entering the door. It seemed that he had gained a lot from this trip.

However, what responded to him was the desertedness of the room, there was no one in the empty big room, and no one came out to welcome him back.

Lou Yu didn't mind either, but thought that the mother and daughter might have gone out shopping or taking a walk, so they went into the house with their luggage.

"Xiaoman." When Lou Xiaoman came back, he was surprised to find that his father, who hadn't been home for nearly a year, had returned, and was opening his broad arms to her with a smile on his face.

"Dad, you're back." Lou Xiaoman didn't dare to look at him, and he didn't fly towards him like a happy bird like before, but quietly took off his shoes and entered the house.

Lou Yu's reaction to her was obviously a bit slow, and he still happily looked behind her: "Daughter, where is your mother? Why hasn't she come in yet."

When Lou Xiaoman heard this, he stopped all movements and looked at him very quietly.This man is her biological father. He is well-known throughout the country and has made outstanding contributions to the development of the country's archaeological industry. He is a national-level talent.What he loves most in his life is archeology, and he never tires of talking about archaeology. In his eyes, only archeology is the most important thing.

"Xiao Man, what's wrong with you?" Lou Yu felt very strange seeing her so quiet, so he couldn't help asking curiously, what's wrong with this daughter.

When she heard her father's question, she lowered her head, thought for a while, then smiled quietly, and told him softly: "Dad, Mom, she has already left."

She wanted to tell him half a year ago that her mother no longer wanted them.At that time she was sad, but time passed little by little, and she calmed down day by day, and her thoughts about her mother were very peaceful.

Maybe after a long time, she might no longer remember that she had a mother.Time is really a good thing, Lou Xiaoman thought to himself.

Lou Yu was stunned when he heard the words, and fell on the sofa behind him, buried his head in his hands, unable to speak for a long time.

"Dad." She called again softly, she has been able to accept this fact, she is just worried about him.

"Xiao Man, I'm sorry." Lou Yu raised his head, his eyes were red, his daughter's calmness, sensibleness, and cuteness made him feel guilty towards her.

She walked over gently, squatted down in front of him slowly, and smiled quietly: "Dad, you didn't apologize to me, maybe this is the path we chose."

Lou Yu put his hand on her soft hair, he didn't blame his wife, he was sorry for her, and even more sorry for his daughter.He decided to be a good father from today and take good care of Xiaoman.

"Xiao Man, Dad will stay at home to accompany you more and will not let you be lonely anymore." Lou Yu made up his mind to spend more time with Xiao Man in the future.

Lou Xiaoman just smiled, put his head in his broad arms, and quietly enjoyed the family happiness.

However, things backfired. Ten days later, when he received another invitation to make an important archaeological discovery, he agreed without thinking about it. After agreeing, he found to his anguish that his promise to his daughter was in vain again.

"Xiaoman..." Lou Yu rubbed his hands anxiously, like a child who has done something wrong, not daring to look at her.

"Dad, you go, I will take care of myself." She seemed very sensible and accustomed to it, so she said to him softly without thinking about it.

Lou Yu's eyes were moist, all the words were stuck in his throat, he looked at his ten-year-old daughter speechlessly, she looked very mature, how could she look like a ten-year-old child?
"Xiao Man, Dad will definitely make it up to you." He promised her before packing up his things in a hurry.

She nodded silently and waved to him without saying goodbye to him.

Since then, Lou Xiaoman has never said goodbye to Lou Yu since that time.Because of this, she will be able to see her father again next time.

That year, she was ten years old.Her father still ran towards his beloved archeology and left her alone at home. From then on, she obediently went to and from school alone, learned to cook by herself, and learned to live alone.

"Dad, happy new year." On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she received a call from a remote mountain in the country using a satellite phone.

Lou Yu was very happy, because now he discovered a more important archaeological discovery, and his whole body was in a state of excitement, "Xiao Man, Dad misses you."

Since his wife left, not only did he not become decadent, but he devoted all his thoughts to his work. For his only daughter, he no longer buried his love for her deeply in his heart, but talked about it.

Lou Xiaoman knew that he had made another important discovery, so he was so excited. "Dad, you have to pay attention to your health." She warned, lest he forget to eat and sleep again.

"Understood, Xiao Man, you should also pay attention at home, wait for Dad to come back." Lou Yu laughed at the other end, his wife's departure should have faded in his heart.

"Dad, I see." She almost sighed in an inaudible voice, and Dad forgot that today is the first day of the new year.

It seems that the building still has a lot of work to do. After he finished telling her, he hurriedly said: "Xiaoman, Dad is going to work, goodbye."

"Okay." She replied obediently, until there was a beeping busy tone from the other end.Dad, goodbye.
