When I saw Li Xiaohua, it was on Xinjie in Jiangyuan Town.
Ming Qiu and Wang Xin are eating fat rice rolls at Wanmazi's Malatang shop.
When Tie Fen was in full swing, Wang Xin elbowed Ming Qiu.
"Baby, look at that woman."
Ming Qiu raised his head and followed Wang Xin's gaze.
"Look, that woman has been staring at us."
Although we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and the years have carved an indelible mark on the woman's face, Ming Qiu still remembers her.
Li Xiaohua has been her own mother for several years.
The woman who felt very kind from the bottom of her heart was standing gracefully and luxuriously across the street, looking straight at Ming Qiu.
It can be seen that she has been doing well outside these years, at least from the perspective of her clothes.
A long dark black down jacket complemented her slender figure.
She was very good-looking when she was young, and at this age she is more temperamental than her peers.
Across the street, just looking at each other, they know each other's existence.
In fact, in the first few years when Li Xiaohua left, although no one saw her, she always existed in the lives of Mingqiu and his son.
During Chinese New Year and holidays, a big package will be sent from a coastal city.
Father and son have everything to eat, use, and wear.
Especially for the clothes, Ming Qiu has always looked good-looking. Li Xiaohua used to sell clothes and had a unique vision. The clothes sent to Ming Qiu are the most suitable in terms of size and style.
Every time he received a package, his father Wan Xingmin would always say a word.
"Your mother is a good woman, I am sorry for her."
When I wake up at night in Mingqiu, I will see my father standing in front of the window, in the darkness, the cigarette butt is on and off.
Ming Qiu knew that his father was thinking about Xiaohua's mother.
Ming Qiu asked his father: "Father, do you think Xiaohua's mother will come back?"
Father heaved a long sigh: "I won't come back."
In fact, Ming Qiu also knew that on the day Li Xiaohua left, when he chased after Li Xiaohua and begged her not to leave, Li Xiaohua's resolute demeanor had already told him the answer.
At this time, Li Xiaohua appeared in Jiangyuan Town, and Ming Qiu suddenly understood.
The sacrificial offerings in front of the parents' graves, as well as the groomed cemetery, should be Li Xiaohua's masterpiece.
Wang Xin's voice rang in his ears.
"Baby, that woman seems to be looking at you. Who is she? Do you recognize her?"
Probably without going through the brain, it came out naturally.
"She is my mother."
Wang Xin's jaw almost dropped from shock.
"What are you talking about? Your mother?"
Ming Qiu realized: "It's my stepmother."
Wang Xin covered his chest with his hand: "I was scared to death, you thought"
While saying this, the woman had already crossed the street and walked towards this side.
"Mingqiu."
Her voice was still so gentle and sweet.
Ming Qiu stood up, embarrassed.
"Mom, long time no see."
The word "mother" came out of his mouth spontaneously, and even Ming Qiu himself was startled.
It seems that Li Xiaohua's mother's identity has penetrated into Ming Qiu's bones, and she has not been able to pull it out for more than ten years.
Wang Xin immediately stood up.
"Hello, Auntie, I am Mingqiu's girlfriend Wang Xin."
Li Xiaohua's eyes lingered on Wang Xin's face for a few seconds, and his fair face became paler and paler.
She smiled and nodded to Wang Xin.
"Mingqiu, he has grown up and is handsome, as good-looking as your father. It's great to have such a beautiful girlfriend."
"Well, when did you come back?"
"I heard that the old street was demolished, so I wanted to come back and take a look. After all, I lived there when I was young. I didn't expect that this time, things have changed, and I can't see anything."
It was quite sad between the words.
"Are you going to see my dad?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect him to be such a good person"
In the Babao Building on Xinjie, Jiangyuan Town, Li Xiaohua insisted on inviting Ming Qiu and Wang Xin to dinner.
During the dinner, Li Xiaohua was very grateful.??.
Speaking of the first time I saw Ming Qiu, such a small child at that time threw herself into her arms the first time she saw her. The innate intimacy made her give birth to Ming Qiu. An illusion of one's own biological child.
Ming Qiu was also outspoken.
"Yes, at that time, I felt that the warmth from you was the smell of my mother."
Wang Xin said bluntly: "This means that the family does not enter the house. Auntie and Ming Qiu looked carefully, and no one believed that it was not the biological mother and child."
The meal was quite harmonious, seeing Wang Xin and Li Xiaohua talking and laughing like long-time friends, Ming Qiu felt quite happy.
He was thinking, if Wang Xin didn't insist on coming to his side. My life will not be so full of sunshine, and when I see Li Xiaohua again, maybe I won't be free from grievances, at least there will be knots in my heart.
It can only be said that the time is just right.
The love and family affection that had been away from me for a long time have returned.
At this time, he felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
Before the meal was finished, the expensive-looking bracelet on Li Xiaohua's wrist was put on Wang Xin's hand.
Li Xiaohua insisted that Wang Xin accept it, saying that it was a gift for his future daughter-in-law.
Wang Xin refused, the reason is very simple, she dare not accept such an expensive gift.
After Li Xiaohua said a word, Wang Xin accepted it with peace of mind.
Li Xiaohua said: "Wang Xin, we hit it off right away. It seems like we have known each other for a long time. I am very happy. Although Ming Qiu and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, in my heart, he is still my son, and I am still his mother. Mom It is natural to give a gift to your daughter-in-law, if you have to meet outside, you don't have to accept it. But I will be sad."
In fact, Ming Qiu can't hate Li Xiaohua. When he was young, he might not understand the world of adults.
But when he became an adult, he understood Li Xiaohua's original decision. His biological daughter was obviously gone. As a mother, it was reasonable for her to make this choice.
Ming Qiu and Li Xiaohua met alone on the platform of Old Street.
Li Xiaohua lamented that time passed too fast. When she left, the scene of Xiao Mingqiu chasing after her crying and begging her not to leave seemed like it was still yesterday.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Mingqiu was now a handsome young man.
During this period, Li Xiaohua was quite sad, feeling that he was sorry for Ming Qiu, and he resolutely chose to leave at the beginning, without considering the feelings of a child.
In the end, she took out a bank card to Ming Qiu, saying that she hadn't started a new family for so many years, and all her life was spent on making money.
As a mother, the money in this card is a kind of compensation for the maternal love owed to Mingqiu for so many years.
Ming Qiu did not accept it.
He said: "Family love is not measured by money. For me, as long as you know that you have been thinking about me all these years and that you still treat me as your son, that is enough. Everything else is not important." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
