Chapter 42 Forget
Du Ruo took the two little guys and slept until eight o'clock in the morning. When she woke up, the two little guys were still asleep.
After getting up and packing, Du Ruo walked around the yard, looked at the door of the main house, and thought about going furniture shopping today.
Walking towards the house refreshed, Du Ruo looked back at the door of the main house. It seemed like she had forgotten something.
Forget it. If I can’t remember, I won’t think about it anymore.
The phone in the main room of the Du family rang again, over and over again. Yuan Tingchuan's brows were tightly wrinkled. He reached out to call the Yang family, but paused and did not make the call.
After making a few bowls of porridge in the morning, Du Ruo opened the door and went to the entrance of the alley to buy a layer of steamed buns and two small oil cakes. He took them home, mixed a plate of yesterday's vegetables, went into the house and called the two little guys to get up and eat.
Du Ruo stood in front of the bed, looking at the little guys sleeping like piglets, and was speechless. How could these two guys sleep so well? Are they still not awake?
In fact, Du Ruo didn’t know that she fell asleep on the bed yesterday, and Han Zhe and Yuan Shurui played until late at night.
There was no teacher or parents to supervise them, but with their parents by their side, they felt extremely safe. The two little guys played happily for half the night and fell into a drowsy sleep when it was almost dawn.
Du Ruo lifted the quilt and slapped the boy's butt lightly, saying softly, "The sun is shining on your butt, get up quickly."
Yuan Shurui's face flushed red. In fact, he woke up when Aunt Du stood beside his bed. The child was a little sensitive, so he didn't dare to close his eyes, and ended up getting slapped on the butt.
No one had ever hit him like this before. It was different from the bad memories of his mother in the past. He didn't know how to describe the feeling, but it made his heart itchy and warm, and he kind of liked it.
Han Zhe rolled into his mother's arms as soon as he woke up and said coquettishly: "Mom, hit me, I can't get up~"
Du Ruo held him in her arms, walked to the window, stretched out her hand to open the curtain, and said with a smile: "Look where the sun has climbed to? Why don't you get up?"
Xiaozhe smiled and hugged his mother's neck, then looked up and saw his friends looking at him enviously. He said, "Mom, quickly carry me back to bed."
Du Ruo didn't understand what was going on, so she put her son back on the bed. Xiaozhe pushed Han Shurui and said to Du Ruo, "Mom, you hug him too."
Looking at her son's sparkling eyes, Du Ruo smiled. She stretched out her arms, made an invitation, and asked Yuan Shurui: "Do you want to try it?"
Yuan Shurui grabbed his collar. He wanted to give it a try. In his memory, there were very few people hugging him. He had no memory of being hugged by his father.
Yuan Tingchuan usually communicates with people around Yuan Shurui, asking about his daily life and homework, but he rarely speaks directly to Yuan Shurui.
His mother’s hug was a nightmare to him. Every time his father came back, his mother would pick him up first, but would put him aside after a moment to concentrate on accompanying his father.
Sometimes she would think he was a nuisance, frown, and ask someone to take him away.
If Dad left after a short while, Mom would get very angry, pinch his arms until they were blue and purple, and stare at him as if he were an enemy.
He resisted his mother's hug several times, and faced his father with a frown and a puzzled look. His mother always got angry and beat him after his father left.
So every time his mother hugged him, he suppressed his fear, lowered his head and said nothing.
Later he understood that as long as his father ignored his mother, she would beat him. He gritted his teeth and remained silent, but his mother beat him harder and harder.
Until that time, when he saw his mother angrily turning around to look for something to hit him, he quietly called his father and put the receiver aside.
He was lucky that his dad stayed on the line and heard it all.
Dad came home quickly, grabbed the woman's arm, threw her out of the house, and told her to get out.
Yuan Shurui's nightmare finally ended, but from then on he had an idea in his mind: the only person who can protect himself is himself.
If he wants to survive, he has to rely on himself. If he wants to get something, he has to work hard for it.
He looked at Aunt Du's open arms and couldn't resist the temptation. Yuan Shurui threw himself into Du Ruo's arms and gently sniffed her fragrance, an indescribable pleasant smell. He carefully opened his arms and hugged Du Ruo's neck.
Du Ruo also carried him to the window and took him to look at the sunlight outside. The warm sunlight, shining through the glass window onto people's bodies, was warm but not scorching, and made people feel very comfortable.
Yuan Shurui smiled widely, kissed Du Ruo on the face, and buried his face in Du Ruo's arms a little embarrassedly.
Du Ruo was a little surprised. It was the first time she saw the child smile so happily.
Well, children are innocent. They are not on the same level as their thousand-year-old fox father. They are just children.
Both children were very well-behaved, so it was not difficult for Du Ruo to take care of them. After the three of them finished their breakfast, they drove out and their final destination was Guomao Furniture City.
As soon as they got off the car, Du Ruo bought a candy man for each of the two children.
The boss was a business man. When he saw Du Ruo was dressed elegantly, her two children were neatly dressed, and she was driving a blue Santana, he knew that she was a wealthy man.
He enthusiastically introduced the various snacks on the stall, including crispy popcorn, freshly-fried tea eggs, and fragrant maltose, and his eyes lit up as he watched the two children.
The boss had good taste and Du Ruo was indeed not short of money. She waved her hand and gave the two children a little bit of each. After packing up the food, she threw it in the car and went home to eat it.
The two young guys, each holding a candy man in his mouth, and Du Ruo followed behind with his hands behind his back, and the three of them entered the furniture store.
After the reform and opening up, the development is rapid. The furniture city is very different from before, with all kinds of furniture available.
The first floor is filled with small, low-end furniture, such as coffee tables and desks.
The second floor has mid-range large furniture, such as beds, wardrobes, etc.
The third floor is filled with imported European furniture and Chinese furniture made of various precious woods.
Du Ruo took the two children directly to the third floor. She was about to ask Han Zhe what kind of bed he wanted, but when she saw Yuan Shurui looking at her eagerly, she changed her tone and said, "You two take a look and pick a bed each."
Yuan Shurui was overjoyed. He also had a share? Did Aunt Du agree to his joining?
If Du Ruo could hear his inner voice, she would tell him that he was overthinking.
Du Ruo just didn't want to see her child too disappointed. There were originally three bedrooms in the main house. She originally planned to give one bedroom to the mother and son, and the remaining one would be used as a study for Xiaozhe.
Since Yuan Shurui happened to be here today, it wouldn't be a big deal to decorate an extra bedroom and use it as a guest room.
