Song Song

A few weeks after the wedding, the days went on as usual, entering October, the weather was getting colder, and the branches and leaves in the community were turning yellow, adding a touch of autumn.

Lin Xiaosong is now working at a dessert shop near her home, working half a day, from 09:30 pm to [-]:[-] pm. The task of picking up the children from school naturally falls to Chu's mother. She is happy with this, and often says that there is a Children are the best, lively and lively, this is called enjoying the family relationship.Lin Xiaosong still had nothing to say to her. Basically, when he got home, she had already gone back, and it was rare for them to meet each other.

A few days ago, the kindergarten teacher assigned a painting task and asked to complete it with the parents, so Chu's mother stayed for a while. When Lin Xiaosong arrived home, she was still drawing with the child, pointing to the little figure on it, "This is Chu’s father is also our Lele’s father.” Lele was puzzled, and ran over to show Lin Xiaosong holding the drawing paper. On the white paper was green grass, and three cartoon villains stood in a row—two men led a girl doll.

Lin Xiaosong praised the painting well, and glanced at the sofa. Chu Yi was sitting there reading a book, with a leisurely manner of "not listening to anything outside the window", obviously not participating in the painting process at all.

He suddenly took a breath in his heart, and threw the key heavily on the coffee table, "Kang Bang", the man looked up at him with a smile at the end of his eyes.

Lin Xiaosong didn't give a good face, looked down at the painting in his hand again, and said sarcastically: "It's not your daughter anyway, it doesn't matter to you whether she draws well or not."

Mother Chu still wanted to help Yuanchang: "I'm not teaching."

"Their teachers have already said that parents should also participate." Lin Xiaosong became angry and turned to Chu Yi, "I have passed the news to you, and you promised well."

Lele tugged at Lin Xiaosong's pants, and said with a look of horror, "Dad, don't be angry."

The smell of gunpowder in the room ignited at the first touch. Chu Yi dropped the book with a "snap", stood up, and stretched out a hand, "Show me that painting."

"Don't be an afterthought, if you don't teach, I will teach myself." Lin Xiaosong completely treated him as a transparent person, and dragged Lele into the room.

Chu's mother is getting old, and she doesn't want to pay attention to these bad things. She put on her bag and put on her shoes, "Tell your wife, I'm leaving."

After all, I felt uncomfortable, "I think this marriage is just looking for sins. I have never seen a daughter-in-law like him. She puts on a bad face every day. Who is it for?"

The woman's words spread into the room in detail, Lin Xiaosong remained unmoved and continued to pack the child's schoolbag.

Now he has completely degenerated into a mean and bitter person, he likes to get to the bottom of everything, and he can't afford to suffer, but the marriage is still peaceful, and there is no sign of slanting his sword.It's probably because a man has a weak temper, and sometimes he doesn't bother to argue with him.

The door was opened from the outside, and a gust of wind was brought in. Lin Xiaosong felt a thorn in his back, and the movements of his hands slowed down.

Chu Yi stuffed his pockets, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, gently pushed him, "Show me the child's painting."

"I've already collected it."

Lele grabbed the zipper of her schoolbag, "Show uncle."

"What are you looking at, sleep!" Lin Xiaosong snatched the schoolbag and put it on a chair beside him.

Chu Yi sighed, and half-jokingly said, "Did someone complain about going to work today?" After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull his wife over, Lin Xiaosong lowered his eyes to look over, a slender white hand fermented the tenderness of a mature man.

"You never put your mind to what I asked you to do. You promised well, but in the end, you didn't fart at all. People like you, born in ancient times, are the kind of corrupt officials who only flatter you." Lin Xiaosong began Talk about a man's shortcomings.

Chu Yi didn't think it was funny, it's all going on here, the child is beside him, and he can't get into the bed to coax him, so he said: "If I want to be born in ancient times, I will hire a few more servants to serve my wife, so that I can make myself fatter." , comfortable to hug at night."

A teasing smirk floated on the corner of the man's mouth, and his eyes lightly passed over Lin Xiaosong, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Outside, they either put on a straight face and hardly open their mouths, or push people away with a few words, pretending to be mysterious. They really should ask those little nurses in their department to take a look. The male god director in their minds, In fact, it is an animal that can't control its lower body.

The more Lin Xiaosong thought about it, the angrier he felt, he didn't want to see him at all, so he pushed him out.

"The last sentence, I'll leave after finishing my sentence." Chu Yi supported the bed and stood up slowly, "I'll ask for a few days off next week. Let's go out with the whole family. It's like going on a honeymoon."

Lin Xiaosong lay down on the bed, intending to tell a short story to put the girl to sleep, flipped through the fairy tale book in his hand, without thinking, and said directly: "Go with your mother."

Chu Yi sternly said, "Don't be sly about your words. Are you going or not? If you don't go, I won't ask for leave."

Lin Xiaosong turned to a certain page and stopped, raised his eyes, and looked at the man coldly: "No, you can sleep by yourself today."

"Inexplicable." Chu Yi slammed the door and went out.

The next morning, Lin Xiaosong got up and was busy with breakfast. Chu Yi was already sitting at the dining table with a glass of milk and a simple sandwich made by himself.

Without saying a word, Lin Xiaosong went directly to the kitchen and started to cook a nutritious breakfast for the children. Normally, he would give a little to the man by the way. Today he only made two servings, put them on a plate, and placed them opposite Chu Yi.

Chu Yi didn't talk nonsense with him, bit the leftover half-pull sandwich, took his coat and went out directly.

Lele, on the other hand, was ignorant, and ran behind and shouted, "Goodbye, uncle."

"What do you call 'uncle'." He waved to the child, "Come and have breakfast."

Within half a day, Lin Xiaosong received a WeChat message, "Your brother doesn't have your contact information, why does he keep sending messages to me?"

Lin Xiaosong: "Lahei, don't talk to him."

The man didn't reply, and the whole family was there at night, and the two remained silent. Lin Xiaosong felt that if things continued like this, divorce would be a matter of time.

The cold war lasted less than two days. One morning, when Chu Yi went out, he suddenly said, "I have an appointment tonight, and I may be back later."

Lin Xiaosong said "Oh".

Chu Yi sighed, hugged him, and smiled helplessly: "It's been three days, and the anger should be gone. Every time I talk to you well, you have to say a few words, like you, who Men can bear it." Seeing that Lin Xiaosong still had a cold face, he couldn't help pinching his cheek, "Take care of you on the bed."

After get off work, Chu Yi went to the appointment at the pre-arranged place. Wang Pingchuan had already been waiting there. When he saw him come in, he stood up and asked him to sit down.

"Songsong is at home alone." Wang Pingchuan poured him tea and handed him the menu at the same time.

Chu Yi took off his coat and threw it on the chair next to him, "The child is at home too." Glancing at the menu on the table, his voice was lukewarm, "Order whatever you want, I can do it."

"Then I'll decide to order as many as I like." Wang Pingchuan said briskly, and took the menu back.

Wang Pingchuan has a good-natured appearance and a good temper. With the expansion of his business in recent years, his personality has become more and more amiable, without any sharp edges.

"I heard from Songsong that this girl, Lele, cries as soon as she goes to school." Wang Pingchuan said while flipping through the menu, as if chatting about homework.

Chu Yi answered: "Children are like this, and they will get used to it after a few days of crying."

Wang Pingchuan said with a smile: "Songsong must be reluctant to part with his precious daughter. He often gets angry at you at home. Give him a little more, because he has such a violent temper."

Chu Yi picked up the cup, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said with a pale face, "Size is a process. As a parent, you can't protect her forever."

Wang Pingchuan summoned the waiter, pointed to the dishes that he ordered, and said to Chu Yi, "If you are not in charge of politics, you will not seek a position. You have never been a father before, so you don't know what it's like. When you really have a child, you will be fucked in the future." endless heart."

"Okay, that's all, thank you."

"You two, please wait a moment."

He talked to the waiter once and then sent him away. He secretly thought about Chu Yi's face, changed the subject, and said, "You two should get one quickly while Songsong is still young."

Chu Yi looked at him solemnly for a long time, twitched the corner of his mouth, and took a sip of tea, "I didn't understand."

Wang Pingchuan said in an ordinary tone: "Songsong is 27 this year, and after [-] years, it will not be so easy to have a child. If you want it, you must do it as soon as possible."

Chu Yi lowered his face: "He is a man, what kind of child will he have, please speak clearly."

Wang Pingchuan frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Did Songsong not mention it to you?"

Chu Yi looked at him with a serious face.

Wang Pingchuan glanced down, and added some more tea to Chu Yi's cup, "The year he left Beishi, he was still pregnant with a child."

Chu Yi gritted his back molars, tightening the knuckles of his fingers little by little, "It's impossible for him to be pregnant."

Wang Pingchuan said: "My wife accompanied him to the hospital. Blood tests and B-ultrasound were done. He was indeed pregnant. He didn't want it at the time, so we asked him to wait. No matter what, we had to find you first." Make an idea. If you don’t believe me, take him for a full set of physical examinations to find out whether he has ever given birth to a child or not.”

Chu Yi tried his best to pull out a pale smile, and his mind was spinning instantly, repeating the sentence over and over again, "There is something growing inside, it was left during the operation."

All these years have passed, it's not that he hasn't guessed what Lin Xiaosong said back then, he was so sure, he insisted that he was pregnant with a child, wanted to get married, and needed a birth certificate.In fact, if he was not eager to get rid of him back then, and if he had a little patience with that child, he could have taken him to the hospital for an examination himself.

"Where's that child?" Chu Yi asked softly.The stomach that has not had an attack for a long time is gradually covered with countless hoarse ants.

Wang Pingchuan looked at him: "When Songsong came to Beishi to look for us the year before last, he only had Lele with him, and he didn't mention that child..."

What happened next, Wang Pingchuan felt uncomfortable, "If he is still alive, he should be one year older than my girl."

Chu Yi gritted his teeth: "He is a man, how could he be pregnant!?"

Wang Pingchuan asked back, "Why do you think he got pregnant?"

The past is like a tide, and those details buried in the depths of the memory suddenly come back to life. Song Song, who loves to eat sunflower seeds, is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and likes squatting in front of the plastic basin to wash clothes, saying that he is stupid and old-fashioned Fully defending himself, "Hey, the washing machine is not as clean as my hands."

Chu Yi clutched his stomach, his face was rusty and gloomy to the extreme, but it was self-destructive, wanting to fall into the cliff.

Wang Pingchuan said with concern: "Are you okay?"

Chu Yi raised his head, his sclera was slightly red and smudged, "Where's the child?"

Who can answer him?

Lele couldn't adapt to the kindergarten life, she cried and refused to go every day, Lin Xiaosong looked at that little face, and thought several times not to go today, but he was still ruthless in action, sending the child to the school on time Kindergarten car.

"They don't play with me." Lele complained to her father again.

Lin Xiaosong bagged the finished snowflake cakes one by one, meticulously and tirelessly, "Tomorrow, you take it to share with other children, tell them what your name is, and let them take you to play with them."

Lele became stubborn: "I don't want to give them any points."

"You are obedient. After the distribution is over, Dad will do it for you."

"They don't give me anything."

Lin Xiaosong was at a loss for words, thought for a while, and reorganized the language: "We are one year older than them obediently. You are the big sister in your class. You must set an example for your younger brothers and sisters."

"What is a role model?"

"That's what it means to be a good baby."

Lele frowned, with a face of reluctance: "Okay, but I don't like them at all."

There was the sound of the door opening outside. Lin Xiaosong walked out of the kitchen and took a look. It was Chu Yi who came back. He thought that the man had drunk too much wine, and there were faint red bloodshots in his eyes, so he ignored him and went back to continue arguing with his daughter. .

No, Chu Yi came in with him, his eyes fixed on the red rope around his neck.

At this moment, Lin Xiaosong would never guess what the man was thinking, and if the man wanted to ask, it would be difficult for him to ask in his life—Songsong, where did you take our child?

"Brother Pingchuan, what business do you need today?" Lin Xiaosong asked the people behind him.

Chu Yi's mouth was full of bitterness, and his voice was hoarse: "He has a friend who wants to be hospitalized, so I asked me to help contact the bed."

"Just talk to me on the phone. Why do you invite me to dinner? Next time something like this happens, you can help my brother directly." Lin Xiaosong washed his hands, wiped his apron, and bowed his head to talk to the child. Said, "Let's go to bed."

Lele hummed: "Father, how much shall I give them tomorrow?"

The father and daughter bypassed Chu Yi and walked away as if there was no one else around. Lin Xiaosong was still telling the child, "Of course we have to divide up the ones we brought over. Dad will do it tomorrow night."

Lin Xiaosong put the child to bed, checked the time, it was only [-]:[-], there was no movement outside, guessed that the man was probably lying on the sofa on the wedding day, drunk, and went out to see, but the man was not in the living room.

He went back to the room and lay down, and fell asleep next to Lele.This sleep was very deep, and in the deep dream, his daughter grew up to be a popular painter, holding art exhibitions all over the country, but her appearance was very vague. He wanted to go forward to see clearly, but her daughter ran in the opposite direction. How could he Can't catch up.

Lin Xiaosong was woken up by this dream, and broke out in a cold sweat. He was thrown up to go to the bathroom, and when he came back, he found that the light in the study was still on.The door was not closed tightly, leaving a gap for light to pass through, and he gently pushed it open.

Chu Yi leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes quietly, and bit a cigarette by his mouth.The smoke gradually weakened, and it seemed to spread silently in the room just like normal breathing.

Lin Xiaosong wanted to tell him to go back to his room to sleep, the night in October is no joke.But he saw the man holding a cigarette, knocking his fingers into the ashtray a few times, and then raised his head, his eyes were as deep as ink.

"Aren't you going to work tomorrow? Why don't you go to bed?" Lin Xiaosong asked standing at the door.

Chu Yi looked away and directly twirled the cigarette, but remained silent for a while.

Lin Xiaosong was drowsy, yawned, and said, "Don't stay too long, go back to your room and sleep early."
