Sheng An Ning came out dressed and looked at Shan Zi, who was standing in the yard with his mouth purple from the cold. She finally couldn't bear it and said, "Chaoyang, bring him back. I'm afraid Zhang Yimei has abandoned the child and left. Wang Wengang hasn't come back for so many days."
The old lady is still in the hospital and Wang Wengang has no time to come back.
Zhou Chaoyang went over to make sure that no one was at home, then he grabbed Shanzi under his arms with both hands and pulled the child over.
Sheng An Ning also didn't know how to coax a child crying for his mother, so she asked him to sit down on a small stool in the room: "Don't cry, let your dad pick you up later, okay?"
Shanzi and Sheng Anning were not familiar with each other. Seeing that his aunt spoke seriously, he did not dare to cry loudly and sobbed softly: "I want my mother."
Sheng Anning looked at Zhou Chaoyang: "Go and call Wang Wengang back, we can't coax this child."
After Zhou Chaoyang left, Sheng Anning went to find some candy and biscuits for Shanzi: "If you don't cry, I'll give these to you, okay?"
When Shanzi saw the food, he wiped his tears with the back of his hand and nodded: "Okay."
The child was easy to bribe. He was given some candy and biscuits and ate them happily while sitting on a small stool. He temporarily forgot about looking for his mother.
Sheng An Ning saw that the child's face and hands were dirty. Recently, Zhang Yimei had no mood to take care of the child because of the divorce, so the child had lost weight and was very dirty.
I went to get a basin of water for the child to wash his face and hands.
Shanzi was a relatively obedient child. He let Sheng An Ning wash his face and hands without crying or making a fuss, and then he was busy eating the biscuits.
Sheng Anning was afraid that the child would be cold, so she found Zhou Shixun's sweater and put it on the child.
Seeing Shanzi eating happily with tears in his eyes, Sheng An Ning sighed in her heart, who could have thought that Zhang Yimei could be so cruel and leave without saying divorce.
It's really pitiful that they even abandoned their children.
When Wang Wengang heard Zhou Chaoyang say that Zhang Yimei had left the child behind, he quickly asked for leave and rushed back, only to see the child sitting obediently at Sheng Anning's house.
She kept thanking Sheng An Ning: "Sister-in-law, thank you, thank you so much, I didn't expect that she would leave without the child."
After all, when we went to handle the procedures yesterday, Zhang Yimei was still holding the child tightly. Who would have thought that one night later, she would abandon the child and leave.
Sheng An Ning shook her head: "That's nothing, but you have to go to work and take care of patients, how can you take care of the children? Do you want to consider finding a nanny?"
She can help look after the child for a day or two, but she can't help look after the child all the time.
Wang Wengang nodded: "I'll think of a way. If anyone in the hospital is willing to help take care of the child, it's okay to pay him a month."
Sheng Anning thought this was fine: "Then take Shanzi back and change his clothes so he doesn't catch a cold."
Wang Wengang went to take the child away, and Zhou Chaoyang ran back. Seeing that Wang Wengang had taken the child away, he sighed quietly: "Zhang Yimei is amazing. I didn't expect she could do such a thing."
Sheng Anning could tell what Zhang Yimei was up to after thinking about it: "She must want to find an excuse to go back and see the child, and then come back to pester Wang Wengang to remarry. Otherwise, she won't have a good life if she divorces and goes back."
My parents’ family will definitely look down on me, and in this day and age, divorce for women has a bad reputation.
Then he went to the calendar and tore off a page, muttering to himself, "It's already August 31st, your brother should be back soon."
In a blink of an eye, a month had passed since I left, and I only received one letter and a telegram sent when I first arrived.
The content of the letter was very dry, just like a work report to the leader, without any emotion. It wrote in detail where he lived in Beijing, what he saw, and which other good places there were.
Not a single word of missing her.
Sheng Anning also went to the post office with Zhou Chaoyang to call Zhou's family. However, when they called, Zhou Shixun was no longer living at Zhou's house. He was busy with other things, and Zhong Wenqing and the others could not see him.
This made Sheng An Ning very worried. She counted the days and tore the calendar, and now she finally saw the light.
Zhou Chaoyang was afraid that Sheng Anning would talk about this. She didn't know how to comfort her: "My eldest brother will definitely be back after he finishes his work. I'll go to work later. What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll bring it back from the cafeteria?"
Sheng An Ning shook her head: "No, I have nothing to do. We'll make dumplings at noon, and you can come back and eat."
After Zhou Chaoyang had breakfast, he hurried to work.
Sheng An Ning had nothing to do, so she planned to pick the vegetables in the yard, dry what could be dried, or pickle what could be pickled, so that she would have vegetables to eat in the winter.
While standing in the vegetable garden picking beans, Wang Wengang came back holding Shanzi and looked at Sheng Anning a little awkwardly: "Sister-in-law, can you help me look after Shanzi for a day? I'm going to find a nanny outside today. The sisters-in-law in the yard are all very busy and don't have time to help take care of the child."
He asked several families, and they all refused politely. He also knew that these people didn't want to have anything to do with Zhang Yimei. Even if the child was pitiful, the mother was hateful.
Sheng An Ning didn't want to care, but Wang Wengang was Zhou Shixun's subordinate, and now he looked really pitiful, so she could only nod: "Okay, it's just that I have no experience."
Wang Wengang quickly said, "It's okay. Shanzi is still easy to take care of. He just doesn't know how to eat by himself yet, and he wears open-crotch pants, so you have to remind him to go to the toilet often."
Sheng An Ning put down the basin and walked over, waving at Shan Zi: "Shan Zi, are you willing to follow Auntie?"
Shanzi was unwilling and held Wang Wengang tightly and refused to let go. He had never been away from his mother for a day and now he was thinking about finding his mother.
In the end, Wang Wengang was so cruel that he put the child down and ran away. Shanzi cried and couldn't catch up with him, so he could only go home with Sheng An Ning sobbing.
Sheng An Ning thought that she was still pregnant and she definitely couldn't hold the child in her arms. She even took great care to protect her belly to prevent Shanzi from hitting it.
He pulled Shanzi into the yard and asked him to sit on a small stool. After thinking for a while, he gave him a biscuit and said, "Just sit still. We'll have dumplings for lunch, okay?"
This time, the biscuit didn’t work. Shanzi simply took the biscuit and threw it on the ground, crying loudly for his mother.
Sheng An Ning had a headache. If he hadn't been such a poor kid, she would have wanted to beat him up. Finally, she said with a stern face, "If you throw food on the ground again, I'll spank you. Pick it up, blow it, and eat it!"
Shanzi was so frightened by her fierce appearance that he forgot to cry. He looked at Sheng Anning with tears in his eyes, and found that his aunt was really angry. He wiped his tears, carefully bent down to pick up the biscuit, and blew it hard with his cheeks puffed up.
Then he looked at Sheng Anning again.
Sheng An Ning still had a stern face: "Don't cry, eat well, I'll give you milk powder later."
Shanzi sobbed but didn't dare cry out loud, just sipped the biscuit.
Sheng An Ning felt quite accomplished, thinking that if a little kid was born in the future, and dared to throw food and things, and would definitely not listen to the experts' advice about loving education, a beating would be the most effective.
