Chapter 56 A Mother
Zhu Guangfa had always looked naive in front of Du Xiuzhi, but that was just the way he looked in front of the one he loved. He was not stupid.
He is not innocent like a child who is not yet a minor, nor is he clear-eyed and stupid like a recent college graduate.
He entered society when he was a teenager. He does not believe that there is love for no reason in this world.
All surprises and gains must be paid for.
That's why he said such words, full of worry.
Du Xiuzhi rolled her eyes at him and said: "Nonsense, don't arrange Mr. Shen here. You don't know how powerful Mr. Shen is. He is just purely kind-hearted and pitying us."
Zhu Guangfa scratched his head. It was obvious that Du Xiuzhi's words did not convince him.
Du Xiuzhi sighed and explained: "What do you think Mr. Shen can do for you?"
Zhu Guangfa looked at Du Xiuzhi.
Du Xiuzhi instantly understood what he was thinking. If she were still alive, her face would probably turn red with anger.
"What are you thinking about? With Mr. Shen's ability, if he really has any bad thoughts towards me, he can kidnap me directly and never let me come back to see you again."
"Xiuzhi, don't be angry. I watch too much TV, mainly because of the influence of TV." Zhu Guangfa apologized quickly.
Du Xiuzhi glanced at him, and then said: "You can buy something later, and when Mr. Shen gets off work, let's go together and thank him."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Guangfa immediately showed a bright smile.
Little did he know that his wife was trying to reassure him.
Zhu Tingting had just arrived at school and took out her books when she saw the teacher coming in from the door.
The originally noisy class suddenly became quiet.
"Zhu Tingting." The teacher stood at the door and shouted.
Hearing this, the students all looked at Zhu Tingting.
Zhu Tingting's cheeks instantly turned red and she became at a loss.
"Your father is looking for you. He is waiting for you at the door." Zhu Tingting stood up quickly after hearing this.
"Bring your schoolbag with you, too. Your father has asked for leave for you."
Hearing this, Zhu Tingting quickly put the books and stationery she had just taken out back into her schoolbag.
Because her classmates kept looking at her, her cheeks burned badly and she felt tingles all over her body. She walked out of the classroom in a panic, staggering and almost falling, which caused a burst of laughter from the classmates.
You can still hear classmates talking from a distance.
Is her father really a gangster?
Her father won't be escorted by the police to see him for the last time, right?
Will her father take a knife and cut from the south of the city to the north?
……
Zhu Tingting felt aggrieved and angry.
She carried her schoolbag and hurried to the school gate. Sure enough, she saw her father sitting astride the battery car, waiting outside the school gate.
There were students entering the campus at this time, and she walked over angrily.
Suppressing his anger, he said in a very bad tone: "What are you doing here?"
"Hey, I asked the teacher for leave for you. Let's go home today and have a good family gathering."
"I don't want to ask for leave. Don't come to my school to find me."
Zhu Tingting sniffed her nose, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't notice that a light blue breath was inhaled by her.
"You can't talk to your father like this." A gentle voice next to him said.
Hearing this, Zhu Tingting could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and said with tears: "I'm going to say this, you don't care..."
Then she froze, staring blankly at the woman in front of her who was looking at her tenderly.
"It's okay, but okay, why are you crying?" Zhu Guangfa was at a loss as to how to comfort his daughter.
"Mom...Mom?" Zhu Tingting stammered.
"Why, you don't recognize mom anymore?"
Du Xiuzhi's voice was trembling as she tried not to cry.
"Mom..." Zhu Tingting dropped the schoolbag in her hand and threw herself into Du Xiuzhi's arms. Zhu Guangfa hurriedly got off the battery car, picked up his daughter's schoolbag, half hugged his daughter and said: "Go back and talk, go back and talk..."
There were people coming and going at the school gate, and no one could see Du Xiuzhi. With Zhu Tingting's appearance, others would think she had a mental problem.
As for Zhu Guangfa's hug, others only thought that she was crying with her father in her arms.
"Yes, let's talk about it when we get home." Du Xiuzhi patted her daughter's back gently.
Sadness and tenderness filled her heart, causing her tears to fall unconsciously, and then quickly disappeared like water drops under the scorching sun.
Zhu Tingting grabbed her schoolbag and stood on the pedal. Her father held her in his arms and blocked the sides with his legs. Her mother sat in the back seat and the family walked home.
This reminded Zhu Tingting of how her parents often took her out to play like this when she was very young.
She was chattering in front of her. Her mother hugged her father's waist and rested her chin on his shoulder, talking to her.
Zhu Tingting was in a trance, time seemed to flow backwards, everything was just a dream for her.
She turned around frequently and saw her mother always meeting her gaze with a warm smile.
"Mom~"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Zhu Tingting yelled softly, and subconsciously lifted the hand holding her schoolbag up to block it in front of her chest. This was actually a very uneasy sign.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
Du Xiuzhi rested her chin on Zhu Guangfa's shoulder.
"Dad's body stinks, it smells like sweat." Zhu Tingting said.
"No, your father said it smells like a man." Du Xiuzhi said.
Zhu Guangfa laughed when he heard this, and the corners of Zhu Tingting's mouth also raised slightly, revealing a shallow smile.
"Mom...I...I..."
Zhu Guangfa and Du Xiuzhi didn't speak, they both waited quietly.
Zhu Tingting finally plucked up the courage and said: "Mom, I miss you very much."
"Mom, too."
Du Xiuzhi touched her daughter's cheek across Zhu Guangfa.
The speed of the motorcycle is very slow, there are few people on the road, there is a gentle breeze, and the afternoon sun shines on the three of them...
They all really want to keep going like this.
But the road eventually ends, and I finally reach my downstairs.
Zhu Tingting couldn't wait to get off the motorcycle and reached out to hold her mother.
Then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?"
Du Xiuzhi reached out and smoothed a strand of hair from her temples.
"I'm afraid I'm dreaming, but, mom, why...why..."
She was five years old when her mother died. Although she was still in kindergarten at the time, she already knew what death was.
She saw her mother being wheeled out of the ward.
She saw her mother lying on the coffin, her cheeks so pale that there was no blood at all.
She saw her mother being wheeled away to be cremated.
They said her mother was dead and she no longer had a mother.
She just kept crying...
Since then, she has never seen her mother again.
But now, her mother appeared in front of her again.
Mom bent down and tapped the tip of her nose.
"It's a secret." Mom said with a chuckle.
She became even more curious.
At this time, my father parked the car and walked over and said, "Let's go home."
