Reborn 1980's Petite Wife

Chapter 18 Where's Dad?

For three consecutive days, there was no news from Gan Li.

Aunt Zhao wanted to ask if Mr. Xie stopped making clothes, but she felt that it was inappropriate to ask, so she held back and said nothing.

It's just that, with this matter in my heart, I always get distracted inadvertently when I usually do things.

At noon on Friday, the reborn Xu Jiaren finally saw her mother.

The mother in my memory spoke very little, never wore bright clothes, and was often dressed in plain colors.

The temples are covered with wind and frost, and the little hair is tied into a simple bun.

The whole person looks dull and old-fashioned.

But now mother is still very young.

Her hair is short, carefully combed and curled, looking capable and foreign.

He was wearing a gray and white new suit, and the trousers were flared trousers that were popular nowadays.

Pair it with a pair of black small chunky heel leather shoes for a stylish and good-looking look.

The current mother still likes to dress up very much, and has not lost her love for life and herself.

"mom--"

As soon as Li Hui entered the door, she put down the cloth bag she was carrying, opened it and shouted, "I brought a bag of apples, and these snacks...and this bag of candy."

Grandma was making noodles by the fire. When she entered the room and saw the things spread out on the table, she complained, "Why are you buying these? It's costing money again! That person's bill has been paid off?"

"Half of it. I asked someone else. We are divorced. It makes no sense to say that I have to pay it all back! I won't pay it back in the future!"

Speaking of this, Li Hui looked at her daughter sitting on the edge of the bed, and said, "Besides, the child is also raised by me, there is no reason to help him pay the bad debt!"

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she immediately showed a worried look, and said in a distressed voice, "That's what I said, but can that person let us go? Let me say, let's work harder...It's better to do less than to do more things." ..."

Li Hui was a little anxious, and argued: "Mom! That's 1000 yuan! My monthly salary is only 26 yuan now! Even if I get 30 yuan for a month's vacation, I will have to pay it back for more than 3 years without eating or drinking! Don't we spend these three years?
"The child hasn't made new clothes for two years, and the cotton in the cotton trousers in winter has to be changed... We can't afford this money!"

"Hey - it's all my fault that I didn't inquire carefully at the beginning. Your aunt introduced me about my age and agreed..."

Aunt Zhao felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this, and wiped her tears: "I knew that person was so bad, even if I let you be an old girl, I wouldn't let you marry."

"Mom, why are you talking about this now. My child is already this old."

Li Hui wiped her red eyes, looked at her dazed daughter on the edge of the bed, walked over and asked, "Damn, do you miss your mother? Is kindergarten fun?"

It turned out that my mother didn't know that she was expelled from the kindergarten.

"Mom, why didn't this kid go to kindergarten?" Li Hui suddenly responded and asked.

Aunt Zhao sighed again, and said: "The girl grabbed the face of the kindergarten child, and he won't let him go."

"Don't let me go? Didn't I just scratch my face? Is it not enough?"

Li Hui was dissatisfied and said: "Children are naughty, why should they be fired if they make mistakes? I'll go to their teachers."

"Hey! You should sit down quickly! The teacher is determined not to!"

Aunt Zhao held her daughter down, "That's the children's kindergarten of the Water Conservancy Bureau. If you go looking for trouble, how will Xiaoping behave in the unit in the future?"

"Xiaoping Xiaoping, why do you always think about others? I don't know if I am your daughter or her!" Li Hui complained unhappily.

Whenever there is a conflict with my aunt's family, my mother must consider others first.

"We were taken in by your aunt when we were in the most difficult time! People should know how to repay their kindness!"

Aunt Zhao reprimanded unhappily: "If it wasn't for someone stuttering back then, you would have starved to death! This is a life-saving grace! Don't say such things again!"

Li Hui pursed her lips and did not argue.

Back then, her mother brought her and her elder brother to join her aunt's family. Although she gave them a bite to eat, what they did afterwards was really disgusting.

Over the years, little by little has accumulated, and Li Hui has already had a lump in her heart.

It's just that she doesn't want to argue with her mother.

Xu Jiaren had been silently listening to what her grandmother and mother had to say, but she was at a loss.

Especially the "divorce" that my mother said, she is only 4 years old now, and it should be 10 years after my mother and father divorced.

Could it be that after she was reborn, something went wrong?
"A Yi, do you know what's going on?" Xu Jiaren asked in her mind.

whoosh-

A white light flashed, A Yi was sitting on Li Hui's lap, but Li Hui couldn't see him at all.

"I don't know—maybe I can check the information when I upgrade. Not now." A Yi shook her head.

Another upgrade!

Xu Jia scolded angrily, "Isn't this your excuse?"

"Whatever you think. It's not easy for me to keep people from seeing me now."

Ah Yi yawned after finishing speaking, "I'm going to sleep."

Xu Jiaren: "..."

Li Hui was distracted by herself, turned to look at her daughter, and she said that something was wrong today.

Her daughter is so quiet!
Every time she came back on a rest day, her daughter would hold her and talk to her intimately.

But today, she hasn't said a word since entering the door.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Li Hui asked her daughter's little hand.

Xu Jiaren shook her head and said nothing.

Li Hui clapped her hands and said, "Come on, come to Mommy, give me a hug."

Xu Jiaren jumped off the ground obediently, turned her head and sat on her mother's lap.

There is a faint smell of cream on my mother's body, and this smell has always stayed in the depths of my memory.

The fragrant smell and the warmth in the palm of her hand made Xu Jiaren's eyes warm up.

Ever since her father went to prison, the relationship between her and her mother has become colder and colder day by day, and in the end it simply developed to the point where she confronted her mother in everything she did.

Later, she ran away from home, and the relationship between her and her mother never eased until she succeeded in starting a business.

The two said they were mother and daughter, but their relationship was as alien as strangers.

But now, everything is still the same as before.

"Tell mom, what makes you unhappy?"

Li Hui asked softly, "I haven't seen you for a week, doesn't your mother miss me?"

"Do you want to eat candy? Mom weighed a catty of fruit candy for you!"

"Mother?"

Xu Jiaren adjusted her mood and raised her head to look at her mother.

"What's the matter? Is there a little secret to tell mom?" Li Hui looked into her daughter's eyes and asked with a smile.

My daughter is really good-looking, with long eyelashes and big eyes. Although she is dark and thin, her facial features are as beautiful as a doll.

It's a pity...such a beautiful child was reincarnated as her daughter.

What a poor kid.

Li Hui smiled gently, but Xu Jiaren saw a trace of sadness in her eyes.

She thought about it, and asked in a childish tone: "Mom, why doesn't my father come to see me?"
