The Hope You Gave Me: 35-Cow


For the next ten minutes, the two of them sat in their chairs, neither spoke nor walked away.

At this moment, Su Quan suddenly woke up: "Mom."

Min Hui hurriedly walked to the bedside and touched his head: "Mom is here."

"I want milk."

"Okay."

"Is it fresh milk?" Xin Qi looked around, but didn't see the refrigerator, "Do you need me to go out and buy it?"

"No." Min Hui whispered, "You close the door and put your head away."

Xin Qi closed the door and looked at her in confusion.

"What he wants to eat is human milk."

"He is over three years old," Xin Qi frowned slightly, "Should he be weaned long ago?"

"It was cut off half a year ago, isn't it because of surgery, he wanted to eat it again when he was afraid..."

Xin Qi glanced at her chest: "You still have milk?"

"No."

"What does he eat without milk?"

"It's just comforting, it's equivalent to... comforting a pacifier." Min Hui's face was flushed when he asked, "It doesn't have to be eaten, just touch it with your hand... it's fine."

During breastfeeding, Zhou Ruji specially hired a Cantonese part-time worker to make soup for Min Hui, so Min Hui's milk was extraordinarily abundant. Su Quan had never drank formula milk, and her body was weak. The supply" was gradually cut off until the age of two and a half. Until now, when a child falls asleep, as long as there is a mother sleeping beside him, he is still used to touching his mother's chest with his hand to fall asleep.

Xin Qi was stunned for a long time, unable to think of a reason to object, so he had to say: "Then... hello."

Abandoned just days after he was born, he grew up on baby formula. There are about ten babies as big as him in the orphanage, and two teachers are responsible for feeding them. It is impossible for anyone to hold him every day. So Xin Qi didn't know what a normal mother was like, and he never cared about this knowledge.

Min Hui sat on the bed, half lay down on her side, unbuttoned her clothes, and blocked Xin Qi's vision with a blanket. Su Quan closed his eyes and touched it a few times, and fell asleep within three minutes.

Min Hui got dressed and got out of bed, she couldn't help yawning: "It's too late, you can go back. There is only one person to accompany here."

"Then go back, I'll accompany you here." Xin Qi said, "Your clothes are also dirty, you have to go back and take a shower, right?"

Min Hui picked up the bag on the ground and put it on her shoulder: "Can you do it?"

"Yes. And there are doctors and nurses."

"I'll leave it to you, then."

She strode out of the door, and Xin Qi suddenly said, "That's right..."

"Huh?"

"What's your phone number?"

"Phone number," she stared at him, "Didn't you block me?"

“…”

“How can someone who was blocked by you be easily added back by you?”

"But what if he wants to breastfeed later?" He scratched his head.

"Hey, didn't you just say - let me hand him over to you and let him live with you? If you don't talk about four years, you can't even give it to you for one night?"

Xin Qi's face turned green again: "Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to take him away?"

"You dare not."

"What dare you?"

"On the child's birth certificate, the biological father is written as Zhou Ruji. Although you are indeed his biological father, there is no document to prove this. So I advise you not to make this idea, and I will call the police."

“…”

"Also, be polite to me in front of your children. If you speak ill of you, my son will definitely not recognize you as a father, so try it if you don't believe it."

“…”

"Other than that, welcome back, Xin Qi."

After saying this, Min Hui said "good night", dropped the stunned Xin Qi, and walked away.

***

Min Hui slept very sweetly that night. He hummed happily while taking a shower in the bathroom, even forgetting the unhappiness and hatred he had with Cheng Qirang at the dinner party.

Because Xin Qi is back.

Although still angry, despite his vicious tongue, he is finally back.

Min Hui was very happy, and the burden on her shoulders was greatly relieved. She didn't expect Xin Qi to stay and live with her. He liked his son so much, at least he could visit them often.

As long as this is possible, she is satisfied.

The next day, Min Hui slept in a rare sleep. She didn't hear the alarm clock, and it was half past nine when she opened her eyes. Looking at the mobile phone, the WeChat, emails, and the must-do items in the schedule have piled up the push page. She hurriedly washed and changed, ate two slices of bread as fast as she could, and then went to the store in the east of the street to buy Su Quan's favorite pumpkin, polenta and fresh meat packets. Thinking that Xin Qi might still be there, she bought more I ordered one and rode an electric donkey to the hospital.

When I arrived at the ward, I saw that Su Quan was not there. A young man in a denim jacket was cleaning the tableware. It seemed that someone had just finished breakfast.

Min Hui didn't recognize him and thought it was a nurse in the hospital, but the nurse didn't know how to wear this dress, so she asked, "Hello, where is the patient on the bed?"

"Ms. Min Hui, right?" said the young man, "Ethan took Su Quan for a walk in the garden downstairs, and should be back soon."

Min Hui glanced at him curiously. He wasn't absolutely handsome, but he was very good-looking, with delicate features, a pointed chin, and a stature similar to Xin Qi's. His complexion was darker, a healthy wheat color.

"Just call me Min Hui, may I ask you-"

"My name is Yunlu, Baiyun's cloud, Malu's road." He smiled slightly and stretched out his hand, "I'm Ethan's chef."

As soon as he entered the door, Min Hui felt that he was very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere. Only then did he remember that at the banquet last night, Xin Qi said that there was a vacant seat beside him, and a person sitting next to him heard the news Stand up and leave immediately - that person is Yunlu.

“Ethan?”

"That's Xin Qi. His English name is Ethan."

"So he... opened a restaurant?" Min Hui was a little confused.

"No. I'm his personal chef." Yun Lu explained, "I'm in charge of his diet and only cooks for him and his family."

With food delivery so developed, is there still such a profession? Min Hui couldn't help thinking, isn't this just a part-time job?

Seeing her confused face, Yunlu smiled and said, "I used to be the head chef of a restaurant. Ethan thought my dishes were good and asked me if I would quit my job and cook for him. It was easy, and I agreed."

Min Hui gave an "oh" in surprise.

"I'm here to deliver breakfast, Ethan and Su Quan have already finished eating." Yunlu picked up a bento box and handed it to her, "The rest is yours, it may be cold."

"No need," Min Hui raised the plastic bag in her hand, "I bought it myself."

After that, I took out the porridge and steamed buns: "I bought one more, do you want to eat it?"

"I've eaten. So, what do you want for lunch? I'm ready to send it to you?"

"Noon? The company has a meeting at noon..."

"Then send it to the company?"

"No need, the company has a restaurant, and there are subsidies. If you don't eat for free, you... don't mind me." Min Hui waved her hands again and again, thinking to herself, Su Quan is justified in eating Xin Qi's food, if she eats it too , God knows what will be damaged, it is better to be conscious.

"You're welcome, it's not me, but the driver." Yun Lu said enthusiastically, "For me, it takes the same amount of time to make one serving as three servings."

"No, thank you."

"Okay then." He stopped reluctantly, "Don't worry, Ethan has already ordered, I will take care of Su Quan's three meals a day. By the way, Ethan said that he found Su Quan's height and weight. All are lower than the average, I would like to ask why Su Quan does not have the habit of drinking milk?"

"There is milk, but the quality is not very reliable. I'm afraid of melamine, so I don't dare to give it to him."

"Please leave this to us, and let him drink assured milk." Yunlu took out a notebook and wrote a few words, "I checked, there are two dairy farms nearby, let's go buy a few cows , please ask a reliable dairy farmer to buy a set of automatic milking machine, a set of bus sterilization controller, special milk and special supply to Suquan.”

Min Hui was drinking porridge, when she heard this, she almost spit out: "Cow? Don't you have to be so exaggerated?"

"No trouble." Yun Lu smiled, "By the way, what kind of flavor does Su Quan like?"

"He's not a picky eater and loves instant noodles...I know it's not healthy."

"It doesn't matter, I can make instant noodles by rolling them with my hands, and serve them with a soup with a similar taste."

"He also likes tomatoes, and all tomato-related dishes. Tomato eggs, tomato beef, tomato tofu, borsch, etc."

"Great, I'm good at these."

"I also love braised meat, braised chicken wings, braised pork ribs, braised fish..."

While listening, Yunlu carefully wrote them down in the notebook, and then asked Su Quan in detail which fruits, snacks, drinks, vitamins, calcium supplements, etc. Even asked about the color of his urine and the shape of his stool. Min Hui responded one by one.

Just after he finished speaking, another young man came in outside the door. He was medium in height, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looked very shrewd. He was holding several large boxes in his arms. When he saw Min Hui, he smiled politely and put the boxes on the ground. .

"This is Miss Min Hui, Su Quan's mother." Yun Lu introduced.

"Hello, I'm Shen Han, Mr. Xin's assistant."

The two shook hands, and Shen Han said, "Mr. Xin asked me to buy some toys for Su Quan."

"Thank you, I don't need that much."

"This is only part of it. We bought some more, let him choose, and if he doesn't like it, take it back."

Yunlu asked, "Have you brought Ethan's computer?"

"Still in the car, will be delivered soon."

While speaking, Xin Qi pushed Su Quan in together with his wheelchair, and when he saw Min Hui, he greeted lightly, "Morning."

"Morning." Min Hui squatted down and kissed her son, "Quanquan, does your chest still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Mom, Dad took me downstairs to play. I saw a little tabby cat."

"Wow, isn't that cute?"

"Dad said he would give me a kitten when I was healed."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Xin Qi touched Su Quan's head.

Su Quan was shaking excitedly in his wheelchair, so scared that Min Hui quickly supported him. Seeing this, Xin Qi carried Su Quan onto the bed and asked casually, "Did you rest well last night?"

"Good."

"Are you going to work today?"

"There are several important meetings, if you are there, I will go."

"You go, I'm here."

"Then you..." Min Hui looked at him, then looked at Yun Lu and Shen Han, "How long will you stay in the hospital?"

"Accompany him until he is discharged from the hospital."

Min Hui was startled: "He will be discharged in ten days."

"Then stay with me for another ten days." Xin Qi swiftly folded the blanket on the folding bed, "If you're busy, you don't have to stay with me for 24 hours, just come and see every day. Tell Jia Jun also Don't use it anymore."

Min Hui asked in surprise, "Then you...don't go to work?"

"I canceled all meetings and interviews this month. The things that can't be avoided will be done in the ward."

"Nothing to lose, right?"

"What's the loss then?" Xin Qi sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and said lightly, "My son has thoracotomy, who is so ignorant and dares to talk to me about work at such a time?"
