In the evening, Mu Qiao returned to Tianlu Residence. The two children had already eaten and drunk their fill, and were sitting by Qiao Lubai's bed, one telling him a story and the other giving him a massage. It was a very heartwarming scene.
Mu Qiao stood at the door, feeling warm at heart when he saw the two little ones being so filial.
She couldn't help but wonder, "Can Qiao Lubai feel all this?"
You should be able to feel it!
Mu Qiao gave himself an answer.
Although it is a bit too idealistic, it is better than being immersed in sadness.
Sharp-eyed Qiao Qiao saw Mu Qiao at the door and shouted happily, "Mom, you're back. I missed you so much!"
As she shouted, the little girl ran to Mu Qiao, looked up at her and smiled sweetly.
Mu Qiao squatted down and picked her up, and asked with a smile, "What delicious food did my little girl eat today?"
...
...
Speaking of food, Qiao Qiao listed a lot of things, "Today I ate cake, fruit, beef, chicken legs, and a lot of chocolate."
"Wow, such a rich meal!" Mu Qiao opened his mouth exaggeratedly, carried the little girl to the bedside, and asked, "Did Qiao Qiao tell Dad?"
"I said it, I said it." The little baby's voice was sweet and very pleasant to the ear.
"So good." Mu Qiao responded with a kiss on Qiao Qiao's fair and pink cheek.
The little girl immediately kissed her mother back.
The picture of mother and daughter together is harmonious and cheerful.
Qiao Yitian, who was standing by, quietly put down the storybook in his hand, sat on a chair, and looked at the scene of his mother and sister laughing. His expression was cold, and a hint of envy flashed across his dark eyes.
He doesn't know how to laugh, so he can't laugh as happily as his sister, let alone laugh as happily as his mother.
Seeing the envy in his son's eyes, Mu Qiao quickly put the little girl down, picked up Tian, and kissed his handsome cheek.
"Yi Tian, do you miss your mother?" Mu Qiao looked down at the cold and handsome Qiao Yi Tian with a doting look on his face.
One day, I looked up and met my mother's eyes. The envy in my heart instantly disappeared. I nodded obediently, pointed to the storybook in my hand and said, "Mom, I saw a new story in kindergarten today, and I told it to Dad when I got home."
"Good son." Mu Qiao kissed him again. Qiao Qiao was not happy when he saw this, "Mom, I want a kiss too."
"Okay, kiss." Mu Qiao put the day aside, squatted in front of the two children, and kissed each of them, without bias.
After washing the two children and coaxing them to sleep, Mu Qiao came to Qiao Lubai's bed, looked at his handsome face which still looked like he was sleeping, and sighed secretly in his heart.
She smiled as always and said, "Lu Bai, I got off work a little late today. Fortunately, Qiqi doesn't have any flight missions recently. I help pick up and drop off the two children every day. Qiqi has worked so hard."
"Speaking of Qiqi, I have to tell you about Fengying. Why is he so narcissistic? Did you notice this when you were with him before? Do you know what he said to me today?"
The person lying in bed is quiet.
Mu Qiao could only ask and answer himself, "He said Qiqi liked him, and said Qiqi asked his second uncle and second aunt to go to his house to ask for a blind date. If Qiqi knew about this, he would beat him up."
"However, it would be great if Qiqi and Fengying could become a couple, but it may take a long time for their temperaments to adjust."
Mu Qiao held Qiao Lubai's hand, looked at him and asked, "Lubai, do you agree that Qiqi and Fengying should be together?"
Qiqi is Qiao Lubai's most beloved sister, and Fengying is Qiao Lubai's best comrade-in-arms and partner. If he wakes up, he will definitely express his opinion.
It’s a pity that he can’t give any advice now.
Mu Qiao sighed softly, put down his hand, put his hands on his arms, and gently massaged him.
Qiao Lubai's care is the best. In the past two years, his muscles have not atrophied at all. This shows that Fengying is a person who is worthy of trust.
After Qiao Lubai returned to the Qiao family, the head of the family, Qiao Fengping, hired the best nurse to provide various care and health care for Qiao Lubai every day.
The Qiao family was particularly generous in this regard. They did not become estranged from each other because of this. Instead, people from each branch came back to visit every day, gave money and effort, and did not say a single extra word.
The reason why the Qiao family is so harmonious is that they have inherited their ancestral teachings, and they respect and love each other.
There is a saying, "A harmonious family brings prosperity", and the people of Qiaomen have interpreted these words to the fullest.
Mu Qiao hadn't felt it before, but recently she felt it deeply.
If her family had been like the Qiao family, Mulan would not have died and her parents would not have divorced.
When Mu Qiao thought of Mulan, his nose felt sore, his eyes became moist, and he felt particularly sad.
Mulan's death anniversary is coming soon. Mu Qiao has been on the border all these years and has never gone to pay tribute to her. This time, on Mulan's sixth anniversary, she must go to the park to see Mulan with her mother and sister.
At this time, Mu Qiao's cell phone rang.
The caller ID says Mom.
"Look, Saturday is the anniversary of Mulan's death, and your dad said he wanted to go with us."
As soon as the call was connected, Mu's mother explained the reason for the late night call.
What could Mu Qiao say? She had heard from Mu Qing that her father had been doing volunteer work in the joint defense camp since he divorced her mother. He had worked very hard and had received praise from many leaders. He was promoted to team leader three years ago and was also given a salary. He could be considered to have turned over a new leaf.
In previous years, he never took the initiative to ask to go and pay tribute to Mulan, so why did he suddenly ask to go this year?
"If he wants to go, let him go." Mu Qiao didn't want to think of his father as too powerful.
Mu's mother said alertly, "Qiao, your father may have thought of going to visit Mulan with us because he saw you were back."
"Let him be." Mu Qiao knew what was going on, but she still hoped that her father would sincerely go to pay tribute to Mulan, after all, they were father and daughter.
Saturday, Yishui City Second Cemetery
Mu Qiao, Mu Ma and Mu Qing stood in front of Mu Lan's tombstone, looking at it with sadness.
There were flowers and cakes for worship placed in front of the tombstone, and the weeds next to it had been pulled out.
Mu Qiao looked at Mu Lan's photo on the tombstone and recalled the night when the snail noodle shop exploded six years ago.
She assumed many what-ifs in her mind, but what-ifs are just what-ifs after all. Mulan could not survive. She was gone, gone forever.
Mu Qiao felt very upset and tears kept flowing out.
Mu Qing and Mu's mother were also wiping their tears, and the atmosphere was very sad.
But at this moment, Mu's father came over with a smile on his face. As soon as he appeared, he took Mu Qiao's hand and asked cheerfully, "Qiao, you're back? You're not leaving this time, right?"
Mu Qiao looked at his smiling father with tears in his eyes and said angrily, "Dad, why are you late? Today is Mulan's death anniversary."
Father Mu suppressed his smile and placed the flowers in his other hand in front of Mu Qiao, "Dad knows, you see, I bought flowers for Lan'er."
