Just moving is no small matter.
Don't make decisions so easily.
He drove Su Mingruan to the house near Beijing University.
There are people who come here specifically to clean the courtyard, and there are also people who come here to feed the dogs, so even if no one lives there during the winter vacation, it is still clean.
Fu Bao, the dog, was having fun in the yard.
My ears perked up when I heard the noise.
He tilted his head and saw Su Mingruan, and ran over like a joyful man. When he was a few steps away from Su Mingruan, he braked suddenly, squatted on the ground and made a woofing sound towards Su Mingruan.
Su Mingruan knelt down, touched Fubao's head, and combed his hair with his fingers.
Fu Bao wagged his tail comfortably.
Huo Huaiwei stared at the big dog with bright eyes. She stretched out her hand to smell the dog and licked her little finger, feeling itchy.
Huo Huai smiled happily.
She stared at Fu Bao's back. Her eyes became brighter. When she was in the village, there were children riding bulls, donkeys, horses, and mules, but she had never ridden them because the Su family didn't have them.
She tugged on Su Mingruan's sleeve: "Sister, can dogs be ridden?"
The dog licking Huo Huaiwei's finger felt a chill go down his spine. He retracted his tongue suddenly and stared at Huo Huaiwei dumbly. His little feet moved back slowly.
"Huh?" Su Mingruan turned to look at Huo Huaiwei.
Ms. Pan was originally observing the infrastructure of this yard to see what she could buy for her children. Although she had a house for her children, it was in the city center and too far from Beijing University.
It's convenient to live here to go to school.
Suddenly hearing Huo Huaiwei's words, she thought she heard it wrong. What did her sweet little cotton-padded jacket mean, riding a dog?
She looked down and saw Weiwei looking at the dog eagerly, with eagerness written all over her body.
Looking at the chubby-skinned children, I seem to see Ruan Ruan who was raised in the village many years ago.
"Dogs are guards, not rides." She quickly corrected.
Hearing this, Huo Huaiwei was a little disappointed.
Gouzi Fubao's eyes were a little more happy.
Mr. Huo likes this dog more and more. For a person of his status, what he likes most is dogs, especially the ones that are smart and understand human nature.
Su Mingruan looked at Huo Huai, who was slightly wilted.
She looked at the sky outside. There was still some snow on the ground. Although the dog could not ride, it could pull the sled. Although the pastoral dog was not the Three Idiots from the Northeast, it had used the spirit spring water and its IQ and physical strength were superior to those of ordinary dogs.
She said: "Dogs cannot ride, but you can make a sled and let the dog pull you out to play."
As she spoke, she looked at Gouzi Fubao.
Fubao rolled his eyes and stretched out his tongue towards Su Mingruan to lick the back of her hand, as if he understood.
"This dog is very understanding of human nature." Mr. Huo looked at Fu Bao and had the urge to snatch it away. Fortunately, he was calm enough. This dog belongs to a child and cannot be snatched away.
"Sleigh?" Fu Bao didn't understand.
But Mr. Huo understood, so a good prosecutor became a carpenter under the command of Su Mingruan.
Men of this era were somewhat skilled at handicrafts, so Su Mingruan borrowed some carpenter tools from a neighbor's house, used the leftover wood from building a kennel for the dog, and directed Mr. Huo to make a sled.
Snow has been cleared from many places in Beijing.
For Huo Huaiwei's experience, he also modified the sleigh, removed the wheels of the children's car that the neighbor's children had played with, and installed it on the sled.
After Mr. Huo finished doing this, Huo Huaiwei sat in the car and started to drive the dog away.
Fu Bao is very smart and understands human speech. Under Huo Huaiwei's orders, he slows down or speeds up as he pleases and sprints on the path, making Huo Huaiwei the most handsome kid on the street.
Many children her age ran after the sleigh, screaming as they ran...
The joy of childhood can affect your personality for a lifetime.
Listening to Huo Huaiwei's laughter, Su Mingruan felt that no matter what difficulties the child encountered when he grew up, he would greet them with an optimistic attitude.
She looked at Mr. Huo...
I have to say that this man is a responsible husband, a reliable father, and also a qualified man.
She took people into the house to rest.
Ms. Pan sat on the sofa, coughed lightly, and then took out the real estate certificate from the bag she carried with her: "Ruan Ruan, I haven't dared to visit you in these years. I am afraid of being close to home, afraid of this, and afraid of that. I will look back." Think about it, you are afraid of so many things, but you are not afraid that your stepmother is a bad person. She is so cowardly and like a coward.
She is not a qualified mother either.
You didn't even participate in your marriage. This is the dowry I gave you. Although it's not much, my mother will work hard to make money in the future to make up for her cowardice and stupidity over the years. You don't want it. "
After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Mingruan eagerly, for fear that she might not like him.
Lao Huo has checked the child's property in Beijing and the child's efforts.
He said that this child is more forward-looking than the Huo Huaiyuan he raised.
There is no shortage of children in the houses in Beijing.
"Everything in the past has passed. There is no need to mention it. I will keep this." Seeing Ms. Pan's attentiveness, Su Mingruan took the real estate certificate.
What matters is the future. As for the past, it is useless to say more.
Outside the alley was Huo Huaiwei's constant laughter.
In the room, Ms. Pan asked her about her future plans.
Su Mingruan saw that Ms. Pan was coughing with her lips covered, and that her eyes showed sickness and fatigue.
She got up and planned to go to her neighbor's house to exchange for a piece of red-hot briquettes and put it in the stove to boil some hot water for Ms. Pan.
Seeing Su Mingruan stand up, Mr. Huo first asked her what she wanted to do, and after hearing what Su Mingruan said.
Let her sit.
Taking care of his wife and children is his business.
If a pregnant child is really allowed to do this, he will despise himself.
He took the tongs, picked up two black briquettes, went to the neighbor's house to exchange for a red-hot briquette, and put a kettle on the stove.
Seeing Mr. Huo like this, Su Mingruan turned to look at Ms. Pan.
"Uncle Huo is very kind to you." She said.
Ms. Pan blushed.
Lao Huo is indeed okay, and she is quite lucky. Although they are married for the second time, he treats her very tenderly.
Su Mingruan looked at the old couple looking at each other affectionately, and quickly moved the bench to sit by the stove. After spending the New Year in the village, she accumulated a lot of spiritual spring water. While Mr. Huo and Ms. Pan were so affectionate and could not notice her, he quickly took out a drop and put it in the kettle.
The fire started, the water temperature rose, and the water made a gurgling sound as it boiled.
Mr. Huo first found a cup, rinsed it, poured water for Ms. Pan and the extra daughter, and finally poured a glass of water for himself.
While drinking water and talking, she sipped the hot water into her mouth. At this moment, Ms. Pan felt that her cold fingers and body seemed to have become warmer at this moment.
She couldn't help but take a few more sips, and the expression on her face became more and more comfortable.
She thought, sure enough, the child's cure for heart disease not only cured the heart disease, but her originally weak body seemed to be much stronger at this moment.
She continued to drink water.
Talk to Su Mingruan and observe what is missing here. After a while, he goes back and asks the servant to bring it over.
It was getting dark, and Mr. Huo took Ms. Pan and Huo Huaiwei away.
Before leaving, he said: "It is very inconvenient for you to live here alone. When I go back, I will find a suitable servant and let her accompany you. Don't refuse, otherwise we will not be at ease!"
"If you don't refuse, I have to trouble you to find someone who is careful." Su Mingruan said.
It's different now than it was a year ago. She is getting heavier and has to take care of herself.
Especially for things like washing clothes and carrying water, it will be much easier to have someone help.
After watching the three people leave, she returned to the room. Zhou Jibei was always by her side, but she was still a little reluctant to leave him when he left.
She quickly pulled away from this emotion.
As long as he comes back safely, that's fine.
She took out the bacon and fried peanuts she brought from the village and shared them with the neighbors.
Weiwei was playing outside just now, and the neighbors helped her a lot. It is a good thing to have a good relationship with the neighbors.
These days, we are not like those who lived in residential buildings in later generations, where human relations are indifferent.
Distant relatives are not as important as close neighbors here.
Not long after, a lady in her forties came over carrying a big bag to report.
This eldest sister is from the Heilongjiang Province. She is very strong, quick at work, rough and yet fine, talks carefree, and has a cheerful temperament.
Not long after the eldest sister arrived, Ms. Pan called to make sure the servant who reported the report was the right one.
The servant said a few words, and Ms. Pan felt relieved after confirming that someone had come to report.
Then he asked: "Do you have any plans for tomorrow? Your Uncle Huo wants to ask you to come and sit for a while and recognize the door."
"I have time." Su Mingruan glanced at the real estate certificate on the table and nodded.
I made an appointment with Ms. Pan and then hung up the phone.
Beijing City, Zhong Family.
Zhou Zixin returned to the center from outside and hurried to Zhong Caiping's room. She said: "Aunt Zhong, I heard that the woman that Brother Ji Bei raised outside has returned to Beijing."
"What about Ji Bei?" Zhong Caiping asked.
Zhou Zixin shook his head and said: "I didn't see Brother Ji Bei, only the big-bellied woman came back. We can't let her give birth to this child, otherwise Brother Ji Bei will be very worried."
Zhong Caiping's eyes rolled wildly: "If you want to kill her now, it probably won't work. Zhou Jibei looks at her as if she's a big treasure. He might have found someone to protect her. The closer he is to giving birth, The more you know, the more careful you will be.”
Zhou Zixin nodded.
The person she bribed to keep an eye on Su Mingruan also lived near Beijing University.
The man said that there was a servant in the courtyard where Su Mingruan lived.
In addition to the servants who live there permanently, a middle-aged couple with a child also went there to stay for a while.
It's really hard to start when there are people around to take care of her, otherwise she wouldn't have discussed it with Zhong Caiping.
"What should we do?" she asked.
Zhong Caiping patted the table and said sadly: "It's not easy to do anything before the birth, but it won't be possible after the birth. The obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital is the busiest. When the child is born, he will be put alone with some dolls. It doesn’t matter if the child is stolen, thrown away or strangled to death.”
…
Zhou Zixin's eyes widened suddenly. She didn't even think of taking action after giving birth. This is a new idea!
"You are so smart, I still have to rely on you." She stared at Zhong Caiping with admiration.
