Chapter 23 Buying the Wrong Size Sweater [VIP]
I began to allow myself to be late, to make mistakes, and even to be careless.
——"Chronological Diary"
"Acheng, come and talk to me!" He said slowly, "You've been working hard outside for so many years, but you haven't made a name for yourself. Have you ever thought about returning to the art world and joining me?"
"If your marriage is unhappy, how can you have the energy to make money?" Zhen Dongcheng answered the question irrelevantly.
"What about the child? Would you consider having one?" Grandma Zhen felt a little guilty. She had been the one who had forced Zhan Quezi and He Yunlian to marry each other.
"Child?" Zhen Dongcheng was calm, as if he were talking about someone else's business. "Child is what you want. It's because you feel that you don't have a grandson to show off in front of others. I don't care what you have."
His blood was calm and composed, but it pierced a hole in Zhen Hao's heart. In just a moment, blood began to flow out.
Why do her parents seem different from others?
Since being together is so painful, just get a divorce!
At an age when other children are changing their ways, Zhen Hao thought this maliciously.
It is the adults' irresponsibility and fault for not asking the children whether they are willing to be brought into this world and not being able to give them the love they deserve!
Zhen Hao was so confused that she could only bite her lips tightly to stop herself from crying.
Hearing footsteps behind her head, she dodged and hid in the small kitchen.
The kitchen stove is still the one that my grandfather repaired when he was alive. The small oven door has turned black and yellow due to the baptism of time.
She suddenly had a craving for baked sweet potatoes.
But she seemed to never be able to taste the taste of her memory again.
When she went to the granary to get the sweet potatoes and was about to go back to the kitchen, she ran into Zhen Dongcheng head-on.
The father and daughter stood there in silence, without saying a word, nor did they continue to ask the provincial governor.
The word "Dad" is stuck in my throat. How can I stop it?
It was Zhen Dongcheng who first raised his hand, wanting to touch her head, but he finally put it down and said only, "Grow taller, maybe 1.6 meters?"
He said short.
Zhen Hao curled his lips and retorted unhappily, "I've grown to 1.65 meters!"
She is one of the tallest girls in her class and is often singled out for her height and admired by others.
Zhen Dongcheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I brought gifts for Haohao and Amei. Go quickly."
If I hadn't heard what he said just now, I would definitely be shocked. But there are no ifs in the world.
"Thank you..." Zhen Hao squeezed out the word with difficulty, "Dad."
Zhen Dongcheng just thought that the child felt a little strange because he hadn't seen him for a long time, and didn't think too much about it.
"Go ahead." He held out his hand. "Give me the sweet potato. I'll do it."
He knew his eldest daughter liked to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
This time Zhen Hao just obediently handed him the sweet potato and said nothing more.
With a heavy heart, she placed the red and black ribbons on the table.
Zhen Mei just happened to rush into the room at that moment. Seeing her, her eyes lit up with excitement: "Sister, Dad said he brought us gifts! What are they?"
She said as she reached out to open the lid of the box.
Zhen Hao also slowly opened the bag and went to s.
The s side is clothes.
At the end of June, Zhen Dongcheng bought two turtleneck sweaters for the two sisters.
Hers is off-white with a black border, a very clean and girly color.
Zhenmei’s color is goose yellow with a hint of tender willow color, which is delicate and cute.
"Sister, there are so many fairy tale books!" Zhen Mei felt overwhelmed. "These two dresses are so beautiful!"
Zhen Hao shifted his gaze to the books that Zhen Mei had turned out, and his eyes fell on a famous book.
Among many fairy tales such as "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales", "Grimm's Fairy Tales", "One Thousand and One Nights" and "Aesop's Fables", "Gulliver's Travels" seems a little special.
During her primary school life when reading materials were scarce, although she did not have her own fairy tale book like other children, she had heard many fairy tales, and Gulliver's Travels was also a favorite for her.
She picked it up and opened to the first page.
While Zhen Mei was still rejoicing over receiving the gift, Zhen Hao had already slowly sunk into the world of Gulliver's travels around the four countries.
This was the first world classic she had read, and it was a gift from her father.
She always kept asking James to come and tell her that the sweet potatoes were ripe, and she would run away.
He Yunlian, who had gone to a neighbor's house to listen to Taiwanese opera, also brought Su Huiwugeng home. When they arrived, Zhen Dongcheng, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, just said indifferently: "Oh, the pillar of the family is willing to go home?"
Only adults can understand how harsh these words are.
Grandma Zhen was a close friend of Shuozi, so after hearing her sarcasm, she also said: "Oh,
In her eyes, He Yunlian was a complete lazy woman. She worked from morning till noon, completely unaware that her children were growing up. She would never do anything she could ask her daughters to do, especially her youngest daughter, who was barely taller than the stove. The livestock and crops at home were even more of a burden.
Responsible mother.
Perhaps they were right, that when people get married, it was a sin for her to marry someone she did not know how to do.
Every time she was angry with He Yunlian, Grandma Zhen
There was almost no harmony at the Zhen family's dinner table.
Zhen Hao was tired of this atmosphere, so he quickly finished his bowl of food and roasted sweet potatoes, then went back to his room to continue reading.
When it was time to wash up, she reluctantly put down the book.
There are many mosquitoes in the countryside, so Zhen Hao lit the mosquito coils and went to the bathroom built outdoors.
That bathroom was one of her least favorite places.
The simple shed has a light where the family takes a bath every day.
Before dark, Zhen Hao didn't dare to take a shower, fearing a sudden gust of wind might accidentally expose her naked body to others.
She didn't dare to take a shower after dark because she was afraid of the dark, afraid that something might suddenly pop out of the darkness, even a snake, and even more afraid of the ghosts and monsters that haunted her in the night.
So every time she thought of it, she would ask him to get together and go back to the house together.
This time is no exception.
While washing, she kept talking to Huai Zha Zhen Mei, saying that she felt at ease.
"Amei, are you outside?" she asked every minute.
"Sister, I'm here." Zhen Mei always said
In this way, Zhen Hao's heart was completely relieved.
Just looking for the misty and fishy place where she was waiting for the vulgar sea to be cut off.
After taking a shower and returning to the bedroom, the two sisters touched the boy's clothes, and there was a trace of emotion on their faces.
They exchanged a quick glance and quickly undressed and dressed.
Unfortunately, the clothes she bought were too small, no matter how hard she tried.
She dropped her arms in disappointment, which had become sore from trying on the clothes so many times without success.
Zhen Meishi looked at Su Wanmenglu's expression and gently touched her head. "Don't be sad, sister. When Amei grows up, I'll buy her a room full of clothes, okay?"
Zhen Haoting felt a pang of sadness in her heart, but also a hint of warmth.
She curled her lips and smiled: "Okay. Sister will wait for you to grow up."
"Sister, are you willing to let me call you Sister?" Zhen Mei grasped another key point.
Zhen Hao turned away embarrassedly, refusing to admit: "What? What am I?
"I hate the school sister admitting that she is my sister!" Zhen Mei reached out to tickle her.
The small house is filled with joy!
After dinner, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when Pei Yandong sent Shi Xu and his mother back home.
We kept chatting smoothly along the way and didn't say a word until we got off the car.
After the car stopped, he jumped out lightly with a heavy heart.
"Axu, go wash up first. Mom will take your uncle Pei to see him off." As soon as Xu finished lying on the grave, a familiar voice sounded behind him.
He just paused and didn't say anything.
Anyway, no matter what he said, if someone changed his decision because of him, he might as well not care about it.
Pei Yandong was from the city, and he had to drive back to his home after sending them off, so it was no problem for him to send him off during this period.
Time comforted Suyue Haihun so much that he walked into the small study room that Shi An had specially prepared for him.
In order to provide him with better material conditions, Shi An struggled alone...
Shi An lay on the desk, letting his thoughts fly, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
Outside the door.
Pei Yandong turned off the car. Without the glaring headlights, everything around him became quiet and peaceful.
Most people in the town go out early, and there are hardly any people walking outside at this time.
This made Shi An's nervous heart relax a little.
She didn't like the feeling of being called nosy by her neighbors.
"Brother Dong, I'm sorry for tonight." Shi An apologized for Shi Xu, "Xiao Xu might be under a lot of pressure from studying, he..."
Seeing her trying to find the right words, Pei Yandong smiled and said, "Anan, why are you apologizing to me?"
The word "An An" instantly brought Shi An back to her girlhood, back to the years when she had just started dating Pei Yandong.
Unfortunately, times have changed and they are no longer at the age where they were fearless.
"I'm the one who should apologize." Pei Yandong lowered his head. "It's me who didn't fulfill my responsibilities. It's me who made Xiaoxu leave Xiaoxia for three years. I'm sorry to you and your son..."
Shi An didn't want to listen anymore and interrupted him: "Don't say anything, go away."
She got out of the car and asked for safety.
After saying this, she no longer lingered and turned towards the house.
Pei Yandong, who had been absent from her life for thirteen years, proposed to her and promised to spend the rest of his life with her, and she was moved.
But the regret of my youth was to compensate Xia Mi Huai and Mu Si
Shi An didn't know.
She just followed her heart and rejected Pei Yandong's belated proposal.
As for why the situation changed later, there is only one reason - the time sequence required a new one.
Even though she couldn't tell Shixu this directly now, she hoped that one day they, father and son, could live in harmony.
Pei Yandong's heart felt like a tsunami, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
He also knew that this was his retribution.
Even after Shi An completely disappeared from his sight, he did not get in the car to go home. Instead, he stood by the car and smoked one cigarette after another.
Sometimes the person enters the house, but his heart remains outside.
When she didn't hear the roar of the car engine, she knew Pei Yandong hadn't fallen asleep yet and guessed that he must be smoking.
She wanted to persuade him to smoke less, but finally she held back.

After an unknown amount of time, I finally heard the sound of a moving car.
Hearing the sound of coughing and chewing, I felt that my heart was also far away.
