Four-year-old Qin Hongfei was so angry that she wanted to cry loudly, but she also wanted to save face, so she walked in front angrily. When she came across a puddle, she stepped on it very hard to express her protest to the adults.
At night, I rolled up the quilt, angrily told my sister that we would ignore Dad for a month, and then closed my eyes and went to sleep.
When I opened my eyes the next morning, what I saw was a white cotton ball, a huge one.
Concubine Qin deliberately held it in front of her sister and waited for her to wake up, because she thought her sister would be happy to see it.
This is also true.
Seeing Qin Hongfei open the quilt and reach out to take it, "Sister, where did you get it?"
Qin Fei said, "Dad made it. He said it was to apologize to Fei." She also had some and was eating it in her hand.
Qin Hongfei was immediately happy and no longer angry: "I'm not that stingy."
It was so early in the morning, and Dad did it specially to coax her.
Qin Hongfei decided not to be angry for a month, so she ran out and saw many children surrounding their father and watching him do it.
...
...
Qin Jiangke, who was in his twenties, was wearing military green work clothes. There was a child beside his right leg, one lying on his left, and one hanging around his neck. He was doing it for everyone one by one with a bright smile, just to please her father. But it made Qin Hongfei so proud that she rushed over and took a position with her back leaning in Qin Jiangke's arms.
Qin Jiangke asked his daughter, "Are you happy?"
Qin Hongfei, "It's just barely okay." Looking at the sweat on her father's forehead, she felt distressed. She wanted to say, Dad, thank you for getting up early in the morning to do this for me. But before she could say anything, her mother came.
Not only did mom come, she also had one in her hand, which was bigger than all theirs, had a pattern on it, and was pink.
Xia Lu came over, squatted down, wiped her daughter's face, and then said to her husband, "I just said it casually... You actually did this so early in the morning, making me laugh to death."
"What's the big deal? Don't tell me. If you want the stars in the sky, I'll have to find a way." Qin Jiangke leaned over and took a bite of the one in his wife's hand. In order to make it easier for him to eat, Xia Lu also raised her hand forward.
Qin 'light bulb' Hong Fei felt like a bolt from the blue!
So Daddy didn’t do it to compensate her at all—he just did it because Mommy wanted it, so she was just a by-product!
The sadness in her heart turned into a small river. She bit it with grievance, one bite, two bites, three bites, and soon it was all gone. The baby felt bitter and needed something sweet.
Then she developed a fever.
Maybe it was too bitter and not sweet enough, so I had a fever——
Qin Hongfei was dizzy from fever and felt that she was being carried on her back. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was her father who was carrying her, her mother who was wiping her sweat beside her, and her sister who was looking up at her father's legs...
She seldom falls ill, but when she does, it's very severe. The doctor said if the fever isn't reduced she'll go crazy. In order to watch her get rid of the fever, dad didn't sleep well for two days - Qin Hongfei kept humming in discomfort, and finally fell asleep. When she opened her eyes, she felt a pair of warm hands on her head. When she opened her eyes, she met a pair of worried eyes. They were from her father.
"Dad..." He stretched out his hand and asked for a hug.
"Good girl Fei! Fei is great. She has defeated the disease." Qin Jiangke happily picked up his daughter, his movements very gently.
Then Qin Hongfei saw Ms. Xia also sleeping next to the bed. The nurse came in and said with a bright smile, "Baby, you really have a good pair of parents. I have been watching over you here for two days, but this is the first time I have seen such parents..."
"Not just mom and dad." Qin Jiangke lifted his daughter up, and coaxed her with his forehead against hers: "Sister is also watching over Fei, but sister is a child and needs to sleep, so I asked grandma to take her back. She came again after a while. Fei, there are many people who love you."
Qin Hongfei was easy to coax, and she smiled brightly in an instant——
Ms. Xia couldn't sleep well because her daughter had a fever and kept talking in her sleep.
Qin Hongfei crawled over to touch her mother's face, then took a small quilt to cover her mother and lay down, looking at her mother face to face. Then, Qin Jiangke came in, took off his wife's shoes, and carried her to the sickbed to lie down. During this time, she woke up and anxiously went to see her daughter.
At that moment, Qin Hongfei felt full of love——
Qin Jiangke also said, "Fei's fever has subsided, she's fine now, you should have a good sleep."
Then Xia Lu looked at her daughter excitedly, and then reached out her hand. Qin Hongfei leaned on her mother's arms, and the mother and daughter fell asleep again. When she woke up again, her mother was still sleeping. Her father sat at the head of the bed, reading a book while watching. When he saw his daughter sticking her head out of his wife's arms and looking around curiously, he smiled, "The little naughty ghost is awake, why don't you come out?"
Qin Hongfei raised her hand to show her father, but her mother kept holding her hand, "Mom is too timid. She needs Fei to accompany her when she sleeps... otherwise she will cry."
Qin Jiangke saw a trace of heartache in his wife's eyes, and reached out to touch the top of his wife's head: "Yes, mom is very timid, she needs dad, and she also needs Fei and Fei, so dad should be better to mom, better, better."
Qin Hongfei nodded as if she understood, so Dad put Mom first. "Mom is so timid, what will she do if we are not with her? But it doesn't matter, I will always be with her."
Qin Jiangke laughed and held his daughter in his arms, tapping her nose, "Little one, stop stealing your father's work..."
"Your mother is with your father."
"You...accompany your own husband in the future."
"Dad will be with Mom forever! Fei and Fei will have their own people to accompany them in the future."
"Nonsense, Daddy didn't accompany Mom for her whole life." Qin Hongfei suddenly turned hostile, "You were clearly accompanying Mom halfway when you suddenly disappeared."
"Well, so Dad broke his promise." Qin Jiangke's tone was still gentle, but with a hint of melancholy in it, "I'm sorry, Fei! But Dad really loves you guys so much."
“…”
Qin Hongfei suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, her breathing a little unstable. She reached out and touched it, her face was wet and her chest was tight. She looked around, but there was no Qinjiangke or hospital around.
The quilt beside her moved, and Qin Fei opened her eyes in confusion, "Fei?"
Qin Hongfei let go of the clothes that were grabbing her chest and slowed down her voice: "It's okay! Get up and drink some water, you can continue to sleep."
Dad’s dream!
Things that happened when she was four years old were actually already blurred in her memory, a very long time ago. After all, she traveled through time and space for more than 20 years, and then came back and walked again for so many years.
But after her father disappeared, she seldom dreamed about him! She seemed to have dreamed about him more frequently when the Qinshi case happened. In her dream, her father seemed to be still around, but every time she woke up, he was gone. Later, she stopped dreaming about him——
Why did I start having this dream again?
Is it because you accompanied Ms. Xia to visit the grave?
Or is it hinting at something?
