The Hope You Gave Me: 40-Doll Bear

As soon as the words came out, Min Hui also felt that she was messing around.

During the time she met Su Tian, ​​she felt ups and downs, first she was so desperate that she wanted to commit suicide, then she blamed herself for being insane and acting recklessly. As for how the child was born later, she was also confused and could not talk about any careful plans.

To say how all this happened, it was probably because of meeting Xin Qi.

Before this, Min Hui had never been in love, and it was that wonderful time that gave her hope and courage to live. Although that love does not belong to her, it is also unforgettable and unforgettable to her.

Subconsciously, she thought that Xin Qi was in love with her, they were still lovers, she could act like a spoiled child, she could cheat, he was so vicious, and she had to be unreasonable to gain the upper hand... She told him that he had a son because of She didn't want to hide it from him. As for whether she should be responsible or not, she had no hope. The hardest times have come through, and now she is considered a high-level in the company. If it weren't for an extra family horse, it would be more than enough to support a child.

"Otherwise," Xin Qi said, "for the extra five days, Su Quan and I will live in Beijing. When you're done, come to Beijing to pick up the child, right?"

"Beijing?"

"I'm already cooperating with you as much as possible." He looked at her and said slowly, "In order to take care of the children, I also delayed some work. I wanted to live in Bencheng for a few more days, but it was really crowded. No time."

His tone was full of discussion, and he felt embarrassed if he didn't agree, but Min Hui still didn't agree: "Then I won't bother you. I'll find a solution for the remaining five days."

It's not to embarrass him, Su Quan is just a three-year-old child who has never left his mother. Min Hui couldn't imagine what it would be like if she couldn't see her son for five days in a row - she would feel flustered, would not be able to concentrate on work, the more she couldn't make assignments, the more she couldn't pick up the child. Five days became ten days, ten days. Change January, enter a vicious circle.

"Don't you believe me, Min Hui?" Xin Qi frowned, "I won't take Su Quan without your permission. I'm not going to break the law."

"Of course I believe you." Knowing that he was also well-meaning, Min Hui didn't want to anger Xin Qi, "but I can't bear to see my son, even if it's only for an hour."

"At this moment, what your son needs is not one hour, but twenty-four hours."

"What are you implying? I go to work to support my family. I need money for rent, utilities, medical bills..."

"I don't have any hints. The child needs someone to take care of, you can't take care of me, you can. But you can't force me to take care of him in the way you like. After all, we are not a husband and wife, and we do not live in a Under one roof, not even in a city, you have to accept the inconvenience.”

"No, Su Quan can't leave me, this is the bottom line."

Seeing her so determined, he closed the computer and stuffed it into his bag: "Then find a way for yourself."

After speaking, he went back to the ward.

Min Hui knew he was angry, so she followed embarrassedly and came to the ward. She had a lot to say about how her life was going after four years of separation, how was her recovery from the surgery... After all, she and him had skin-to-skin relationship, and no matter how angry they were with each other, they would never be strangers. If he didn't promise him to take his son, will he come back to visit Su Quan? Or leave and never come again?

However, she didn't say these words, just sat cramped in the chair, the palms and backs of her palms sweaty. Since becoming a single mother, she has never thought about who to rely on. I don't know why, when I saw Xin Qi, I was discouraged and felt that I could throw the burden on him. I don't know when I started to become so squeamish...

She watched Xin Qi go to the bathroom with a toothbrush to rinse her mouth. When she came back, her face was wet. She probably forgot to bring a face towel, so she patted her face with cold water a few times. He pulled the folded single-seat sofa into a straight line, took off his coat, and tugged a thin blanket over him, ignoring her, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Min Hui gently walked to the bedside, kissed her son on the face, and left quietly.

***

Min Hui hardly saw Xin Qi for the next ten days, because she was so busy that she couldn't nod her head, and every time she went to the hospital to see Su Quan, it was already midnight. Xin Qi was either asleep or working in the activity room. She could only kiss the child, touch his hand, ask the nurse how he was recovering, and leave in a hurry.

When Su Quan was discharged from the hospital, Min Hui took time to get to the hospital. Zhou Ruji said that she had completed the discharge procedures for her. The nurse was cleaning up the ward, so she could just take the child away.

"Have you finished your overtime?" he asked. "You're not here every time you round the house these days. Why, Xin Qi has taken over?"

"That's right." Min Hui smiled bitterly, "I'll be at the deadline in five days. I might be able to grit my teeth and fight. The boss is forcing me every day, and I'm going crazy. I can't sleep three times a day. hours."

"Can you survive with such a high intensity? Be careful to die from overwork!" Zhou Ruji warned and left.

Min Hui saw that he was a little absent-minded. Zizhu recently found out that the cancer had metastasized, and she began to run to the hospital every three days. She was also emotionally unstable. Min Hui knew how hard it was to take care of patients and did not dare to disturb him.

The nurse said that Xin Qi took Su Quan to the garden downstairs for a walk. She hurriedly put Su Quan's clothes into a handbag. Seeing that there were still a lot of toys in the house, she didn't know what to do with them. manage. The apartment they lived in was so small that the toys couldn't fit in. The hospital has a children's activity center. Min Hui wanted to donate all the toys that could not be taken away, but she was afraid that Xin Qi would mind. After all, those toys are not cheap. Xin Qi's assistant, Shen Han, is an unmarried young man. He doesn't really understand that there are not many things that three-year-old children can play with. For example, Su Quan only prefers Lego, cars, and animal dolls. , and others, touch it twice and never touch it again.

When I got to the garden, I saw Xin Qi walking around the flower bed with Su Quan from a distance, talking and laughing while walking. A small cat emerged from the flower bed. I don't know who belonged to it. The famous brand, meowing, attracts many children to see it.

Min Hui walked to Xin Qi's side, said "Hi" and said, "The discharge procedures are all done, you can leave."

Su Quan's treatment cost is not low. The unit has reimbursed most of it, and has to pay more than 30,000 yuan. Min Hui was originally worried about this, but when she went to pay the fee, she realized that Xin Qi had already paid in full.

Xin Qi gave a "um" and pointed at the group of children watching the cat: "He's over there."

She looked at him and said sincerely, "It's been hard work these days. It's also delayed a lot of your work. Go back and have a good rest. You're welcome to come and see him anytime."

"Your work isn't done yet?" he asked.

"It is estimated that five days will be completed."

"Then who will take care of Su Quan these five days, do you have any arrangements?"

"Cao Mu, my boss, she promised to take care of me for one day. Jia Jun will take care of me for two days. For the remaining two days, I invited a female college student to help me. She was originally Jia Jun's tutor. , There are no classes for the past two days. I saw that she was very careful and capable, so I gave her a little more money. It is easy to find a nanny, and there are many nearby, but I am not at ease to find one. In contrast, college students are more appropriate, after all, they are scholars. If there is an urgent matter, I will ask her to call Ru Ji, and I will also explain to Ru Ji.”

Afraid that he might not think it was well arranged, Min Hui said a lot to herself, Xin Qi smiled and said, "You have really made up your day, and the group of relatives and friends is strong enough that your boss can be attacked. You dismount..."

It's still that sarcastic tone, a look of disgust.

"It's not my boss anymore, it's my boss's husband." Min Hui hurriedly launched Yin Xu: a full-time cook, a master with babies, a retired tennis player... "He is very capable, and he recently opened on Douyin. A food and parenting channel with hundreds of thousands of fans! I am very relieved to give Su Quan to him. He has two children, both older than Su Quan, and the three often play together. I am so happy that I don’t even want to ask him to go home. Ru Ji also often comes to help. His wife is not in good health recently, so she is embarrassed to trouble him.”

"I've been divorced, but I'm always looking for someone else. My heart is so big, does my wife mind?"

He was suddenly robbed by him, and Min Hui was stunned: "Although he is divorced, he is still Su Quan's father. We have a good relationship. We used to live upstairs and downstairs and play cards together."

"You think so, why did you jump into the river in the first place?" The words slipped out of his mouth.

For some reason, Xin Qi couldn't see her mentioning Zhou Ruji, and when he heard these three words, his face turned blue. Min Hui thought to himself, probably in his heart, he always felt that he was Su Quan's only father. Now that he is going back to Beijing, Su Quan has returned to his previous environment, returning to his father No. 2, which makes him very unhappy.

Just as he was about to digress, Su Quan played with cats for a while, saw Min Hui, and ran to her, while running, he shouted in a milky voice, "Mom and Dad! Cats! There is a cat over there. !”

The sun shines on his face, making the fluff on it clear. He did recover well, though still small, and finally looked like a normal child. Su Quan likes to eat Yunlu's dishes. He has gained a lot of weight these days in hospital. His face is red and white, tender, and his complexion is pleasant. Su Quan ran in front of them, holding Min Hui in one hand, Xin Qi in the other, a family of three, happily dragging them towards the flower bed.

Min Hui was a little embarrassed and refused to move forward, her steps slowed down. Because the parents of those children are also standing nearby, they are often encountered when they are hospitalized, and they are very familiar. Everyone called her "Quanquan Mom" ​​and knew that she was a single mom. Now there is a strange man, claiming to be the father of the child, I really don't know how to explain it.

Unexpectedly, Xin Qi was already familiar with them, so they started chatting naturally. Everyone was also shouting "Quanquan Mom" ​​and "Quanquan Dad", as if they were a serious couple.

The two accompany the child to play with the cat for a long time, and Min Hui's heart is already in a hurry to scratch with the cat. She only took half an hour off when she came to the hospital to pick up the child, because the hospital was very close to her home and company. It was agreed that after picking up the child, he would leave it in the company temporarily, because Cao Mu would not be off work at the moment, and Yin Xu would not be able to pick him up until the afternoon. The work was full, and He Haixiang was afraid that they would not be able to make a difference, so he sat in the queue every day to rush to work, and he was about to whip someone with a whip in his hand. However, Xin Qi, who was beside him, obviously wanted to stay with the child for a while, and just chatted there cordially, with no intention of leaving at all.

Min Hui found that Su Quan was holding a shabby doll bear in his hand. One eye had been pulled out at some point, and it was simply sewed up with a needle and thread. It's scary to look at. The child knows exactly what toys are in his hands. This bear is definitely not Su Quan's, and he doesn't know where he picked it up or robbed it from another child. He was afraid that it would be dirty, so he took the bear from Su Quan. Su Quan took it out of his hand and asked, "Quanquan, who gave you this baby bear? We can't have it, but give it back to others."

Unexpectedly, Su Quan hugged the doll in his arms, shook his head and said, "This is what Dad left for me. Dad is going on a business trip, let me take care of him."

Min Hui didn't believe it. She glanced at Xin Qi, who was chatting in the crowd, and asked, "Didn't Dad give you a lot of new toys? This little bear is dirty and broken. Let's not hold this, let's change it to a cleaner one. Are you okay?"

"No! I won't change it!" Su Quan called out, "This is the little bear left to me by the second mother."

"What?"

"Dad said, I have two moms. You're mom number one and mom number two."

As soon as Min Hui heard this, she suddenly came up: "What the **** is Mom No. 2!"

"Mother No. 2 is not a ghost. My father said that mother No. 2 is called Su Tian."

Min Hui's face darkened and her hands were shaking with anger. She suppressed her anger and said to Su Quan, "All good, go over there to play with Sister Hua Hua for a while." Su Quan ran to the flower bed after hearing this.

Seeing him walking away, Min Hui called out, "Xin Qi, come here!"

Xin Qi greeted everyone, turned around and walked towards her. Seeing the baby bear in her hand, she seemed to know why she was angry, so she stood quietly and didn't speak.

"Let me ask you," Min Hui growled in a low voice, "what's the matter with Mom No. 2?"

"This little bear was given to me by Su Tian when I left the orphanage." Xin Qi said lightly, "I originally bought it for her. It has been with me all these years, and I also bring it with me on business trips. Put it on, it has my scent on it, so I leave it to Su Quan."

Her heart was boiling, and her internal organs and six lungs seemed to be boiled in boiling water: "Su Tian saved my life, yes. But she has nothing to do with Su Quan! I am Su Quan's only mother. Please don't go too far, instilling the grievances of the previous generation into the children!" After that, he threw the little bear into Xin Qi's arms.

"It doesn't matter?" Xin Qi sneered, "Then why did you give him the surname Su? Why didn't you give him the surname Min?"

"I want to commemorate—"

"This child," he whispered, "was born to you pretending to be Su Tian—and I didn't ask my permission to give birth to him. He is not your child, Min Hui. He is Su Tian and I. My child! Su Tian is missing, don't think that this matter is over, let alone use this child to manipulate me! You let him call my father for a while, but don't let him go with me for a while, I don't like being tossed Come and play! Don't tell me I have a son! Now I know I have a son and can't be with him, do you know what it's like? Now you say, what should I do!"

The more he roared, the louder his voice became, a cloud of purple air appeared on his face, his hands clenched into fists, as if he wanted to tear her in half immediately.

"I was wrong," Min Hui said firmly, "I shouldn't have told you that I have a son. Now, please pretend that I didn't say it! You are not allowed to mention Su Tian in front of him, I am not allowed! This matter! It has nothing to do with the child, don't talk to him! The child was born from my pregnancy in October, don't even think about grabbing it from me, unless you have changed 10,000 diapers! Goodbye!"

She walked over and hugged Su Quan in her arms, angrily walking towards the hospital door. Su Quan was also aware of the anger on her face, and was instantly stunned and began to sob. Seeing Min Hui holding herself further and further away from Xin Qi, she couldn't help crying: "Dad! I want Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"

Seeing that Su Quan was crying so hard, Min Hui coaxed him softly and walked out of the door quickly, got into a taxi, and went straight to the company.
