A foreign city, dear you

Just after Li Huamei gave birth to Huan'er, Wang Daqun fired Aunt Guihua. From then on, she alone, with her hands, held Huan'er up day by day.

……

Li Huamei watched Maomao with Huan'er for a while, then took her little hand and looked forward aimlessly.

In front of them, walking was a family of three, also a little girl, holding her father with one hand and her mother with the other.

Li Huamei looked envious. What a happy little girl. It would be great if Huan'er also had his father's love and could hold his father's hand!

Huan'er rarely sees his father because he rarely stays at home.

Wang Daqun is becoming increasingly homeless.

In the past, although he came home very late, he would still come home. Now, this home is like a hotel. He can go back if he wants to, but not if he doesn't.

Last night, Wang Daqun didn't go home.

Where has he been and what is he doing?

Li Huamei didn't dare to ask, and she didn't want to ask, because even if she asked, he would coldly not answer.

what else can we do?

Li Huamei knew her importance in Wang Daqun's heart. After all, she was the woman he used to give birth to his son. If her son was not born, she would have no value in his mind. Would a man care about a woman who has no value to him?

As Li Huamei thought about it, she felt so sad and sad.

The phone in my bag rang. It was my mother.

Li Huamei answered the phone.

Mom asked on the phone, Huamei, today is your birthday, how did you spend it? Have you celebrated? Did Daqun accompany you?

Li Huamei was feeling sad. Her mother's question made her burst into tears.

How's it going? Live casually. It will always get dark, and once it gets dark, it will be over.

Li Huamei's throat was a little choked.

He was so tense that he couldn't speak now. If he spoke, his secret would be exposed in front of his mother.

Mom kept feeding me on the phone.

After a while, Li Huamei pretended to be relaxed and happy and said: "Mom, I was shopping in the mall. Daqun said he wanted to buy me clothes, and then he would go to a restaurant for a big meal."

My mother said "Oh" on the phone and said, where are you going to the mall? Then I hang up the phone.

This is not the first time Li Huamei has lied to her mother.

Her mother, who is far away in her hometown, still doesn’t know about Li Huamei’s situation. Why let the elderly worry?

One time, her mother revealed to Li Huamei that she wanted Li Huamei to send some money back. Li Huamei had no money, so she told her mother that Xi Sheng was planning to start her own business, and when she needed money, she had no money to send back.

My mother quickly said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Daqun is a person who does big things, don't delay him from doing big things... She sounded quite proud.

Li Huamei ended the phone call with her mother feeling guilty. She knew that her mother would find out one day that she was not doing well.

Li Huamei put down her mobile phone, took Huan'er and stood on the small turntable in the center of the mall. Looking around and not sure where to go?

The mall is luxurious and has a variety of shops. The people who visit here seem to be spending a lot of money. Li Huamei felt a little ashamed of herself among these people.

While hesitating, a red sign at the door of a clothing store caught Li Huamei's attention.

Renovation clearance? There should be a big discount, right?

Li Huamei thought together, then took Huan'er's hand and walked towards the clothing store.

This is a women's clothing store called "Mika", and all clothes in the store are on clearance at 30% off.

There were a lot of people in the store. After all, it was a rare opportunity and they all wanted to buy a few more pieces.

Li Huamei was wearing Huan'er, so it was very inconvenient to mix among them.

Li Huamei shopped around for a few times and fell in love with a white dress with puffy sleeves. The price was "1268", which was more than yuan.

Maika's clothes are relatively high-end clothes, and usually it is difficult to come across discount opportunities.

Li Huamei was very moved, so she asked a clerk to look at Huan'er for her, and she went to try on the clothes.

The skirt fits very well. She looks like a princess when she wears it. Li Huamei likes it very much.

After trying on clothes, Li Huamei came to Huan'er again.

"Is this your daughter?" the clerk asked.

Li Huamei nodded.

"Isn't it?" The clerk asked in surprise: "You are so young, and you have such a big daughter?"

Li Huamei smiled and said nothing, thinking, of course I am young, I am only twenty-two years old.

"Isn't your daughter too cute?" The clerk seemed to like Huan'er very much. He was busy with what he was doing and would tease Huan'er from time to time.

Huan'er is really cute. A pair of watery eyes, a pink cherry mouth, and cheeks that are fleshy and tender, like freshly peeled eggs.

Li Huamei's mind was not on the clerk's words, but on the skirt in her hand.

Do you want to buy it?

Not buying? But this price is really equivalent to a "cabbage price". If you don't buy it, it will be difficult to get such an opportunity next time;

purchase? If you buy it, money will be very tight.

Wang Daqun gave Li Huamei a fixed amount of two thousand yuan every month, saying it was for living expenses and Huan'er's milk powder.

At first, the two thousand yuan was not enough, because the milk powder for Shan Huan'er was a huge expense, not to mention buying clothes for Huan'er.

Later, somehow, Li Huamei's milk supply increased, saving a lot of money on milk powder. However, Wang Daqun, who had always been indifferent to Li Huamei's mother and daughter, did not know that Li Huamei's milk supply had increased, so he still gave her the previous amount.

Later, when Huan'er started taking complementary foods, she bought even less milk powder. If you save money in this way, you can barely survive with two thousand yuan, but if you have to spend a few hundred yuan to buy clothes, you will be tight again.

Li Huamei hesitated, but finally decided to buy it.

After all, today is my birthday, so treat it as a birthday gift to yourself.

Li Huamei paid the order and asked the clerk to pack the skirt for her. Although I was a little worried about not having enough money in the future, I was still very happy when I saw my new dress.

In fact, there are several other pieces of clothing in this store that Li Huamei also likes, but he has no money in his pocket, so he can only take a look. Looking at the other women in the store who could browse goods at will, Li Huamei was filled with envy.

Li Huamei left the store and took Huan'er to play in the mall for a while before slowly walking out of the mall.

At this time, the sun was already westward and was no longer very bright, but the air was still hot.

Maybe it's too hot outside, maybe he's tired from playing in the mall. When he goes outside, Huan'er doesn't want to walk on his own anymore, and clings to his mother to hold him. Li Huamei had no choice but to put the bag on her arm, bend down and pick up Huan'er.

Li Huamei returned home and put down her ring and bag. She felt her arms were sore and her body was hot and covered with sweat.
