Next child?

Tao Zi felt bitter in his heart and lowered his eyes, tears filling his eyes fiercely.

As for Ning Zhenqian, the tip of his nose was sore and he turned his head away. His vision was blurred and he couldn't see the color of the sky outside the window clearly. The next one? There will never be another one...

"Come, granddaughter-in-law, come and take a sip. Do you want grandma to feed you?" Grandma Ning asked lovingly with a smile.

How dare Tao Zi? He shook his head repeatedly, but his tears fell straight down as he shook, dripping into the soup bowl.

"Oh, silly kid!" Grandma Ning sighed, "Don't cry! Crying too much is bad for your eyes, and you will suffer when you get old! Xiao Zhen! Why don't you come and wipe your wife's tears!" the last sentence

, said to Ning Zhenqian, with a slightly stern tone.

Ning Zhenqian's eyes were red, and he walked over obediently. His rough fingers gently rubbed her cheek. The familiar roughness and smell not only failed to wipe away her tears, but made her tears flow uncontrollably.

The more, the more irresistible...

Tears moistened his fingers, but it was his heart that hurt. He stretched out his long arms and hugged her into his arms regardless of the fact that his grandmother and two aunts were by his side. If possible, how much he wished that at this time,

They can hug each other for warmth, and hope that his embrace can give her even a hint of comfort. But, does she still need it? I'm afraid that what she wants to do most is to push him away, far away...

It's just that she is too weak and powerless now to let him hold her and cry in his arms?

Tao Zi leaned on his chest and didn't want to move.

For a long time, her little girl has been the focus and motivation of her life. In this chaotic situation, she can't see her own heart clearly, and she can't distinguish other people's intentions. The only thing she knows is that she still has her little girl.

Girl, little girl is the real

For her people, for the sake of her little girl, she must be strong, she must eat hard, sleep well, and face her life positively. However, the little girl suddenly disappeared, her center of gravity, her direction,

Where does she rely?

She doesn't know...

It was as if the world suddenly collapsed. With that roar, she also turned into pieces and scattered all over the ground...

Without the strength, he picked up the fragments of his soul one by one. Without the strength, he put his soul together and stood up. Only this empty body was left. With the only support of his heart, it was like floating in the endless sea, ups and downs.

, the dark clouds were oppressive and there was no shore in sight. Only with this support could she still survive and avoid sinking and drowning forever...

"Hey, these young couple..." Grandma Ning lamented that the two of them were holding their heads and crying, sighing, these two little guys... However, life is like this, and Grandma Ning, who has seen through the joys, sorrows and joys of the world, knows very well that no matter the joys or sorrows, there is only one

Only the two people closest to each other can comfort each other, because

Both parties loved each other's love and ached for each other's pain. They didn't want to disturb the young couple's embrace at this time. However, if they waited any longer, the soup would get cold and the taste would not be right if it was cooked again. So he said

, "Xiao Zhen, my wife's nutrition is important, please feed your wife."

Ning Zhenqian was sad and worried about her health, so he tried to lift her up from his arms.

But she didn't want to move. Whether it was eating, drinking soup, or even being examined by the doctor, she didn't want to pay attention. The only thing she wanted to do was to quietly lean on a point she could rely on and listen to the sadness turn into tears.

The voice is quiet, just rely on it...

Therefore, when she was helped up, she felt a little dizzy and couldn't help but reach out her hands to hug the person she was relying on. However, in the end, she was helped to sit upright.

He brought a mouthful of hot soup to his mouth, and with his slightly hoarse voice, "Here, drink it."

She burst into tears again. She didn’t want to drink soup, no! Why didn’t anyone know?

However, the warm soup was still fed into her mouth, but the soup, which was clearly fragrant and mixed with tears, had such a bitter taste...

Watching her eat, Ning Zhenqian's heart finally fell. Taking advantage of her being good in front of her grandma, he fed her a small bowl of porridge, custard made by grandma, and

Unusual and different, it was his favorite food when he was young.

Tao Zi's mind was in chaos. He just ate what Ning Zhenqian fed him numbly. He couldn't tell what the taste was in his mouth. He ate one bite after another, filling up the missing piece of his body one by one, as if he had found it.

She found a new method of comfort, and she didn't even know if she was hungry or full. As long as Ning Zhenqian fed her, she would continue all of them, completely unconsciously and mechanically, as if the more she ate, the more she would fill the hole left by her little girl. As for grandma,

She has no idea what she said to her two aunts...

It wasn't until her grandma was leaving that she woke up from her trance and nodded numbly to what her grandma said. In fact, she still didn't know what her grandma said...

Ning Zhenqian sent his grandma and aunt to the door, his eyes wet, and he begged hoarsely, "Grandma, don't go back, come here every day..."

Grandma Ning naturally agreed to her grandson's request. Even though she was sad, she also persuaded her grandson not to be sad and promised that she would visit her grandson's wife every day.

"Grandma, you cook every day. My daughter likes to eat what you cook." Since being admitted to the hospital, he only saw Tao Zi eating something today. Ning Zhenqian mistakenly thought it was grandma's cooking that suited Tao Zi's appetite.

"Okay, okay!" Grandma nodded frequently, "As long as you two are good, Grandma will be happy with anything she does!"

After grandma left, Yan Zhuang came.

With his mother here, Ning Zhenqian left the ward to prevent his daughter from seeing him in trouble again. However, he could not leave without worry, so he still sat on the chair outside the ward.

Tao Zi has always been depressed, and Yan Zhuang can no longer understand Tao Zi's mind, and he doesn't know if his own existence is exciting to Tao Zi. Maybe the last thing Tao Zi wants to see now is the Ning family, but it is not convenient to make decisions at will, so

, try asking, "Taotao, do you want to notify your mother?"

Although she knew that there was a gap between Tao Zi and Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi was sincere to her, and after all, mother and daughter have a deep blood relationship. At this time, perhaps the comfort of relatives is more important.

Tao Zi lay down and just shook his head slightly.

Yan Zhuang had no choice but to give up this idea and take care of Tao Zi herself, although she felt extremely uncomfortable facing Tao Zi.

Tao Zi is afraid of falling asleep now, because when she falls asleep, she will dream about her little girl.

Originally it was just a little embryo, but Tao Zi had given so much imagination and sustenance to her in daily life, that whenever she closed her eyes, all she saw was her phantom...

However, lying still like this, my body is weak, how can I try to stay awake?

Gradually, I still entered a dream.

As she expected, the little girl appeared in her dream on time, crying and calling her mother in a sea of ​​blood, "Mom, come and save me...Mom, don't leave me..."

Tao Zi ran desperately into the vast ocean, crying and saying, Mommy didn't abandon you, she will come to save you...

But why did she drown in the dream? She could obviously swim! However, when she fell into the turbulent sea of ​​blood, she sank completely like a landlubber. The water smelled of blood, and she could not swim.

He poured it vigorously into her nose. This feeling was very familiar and uncomfortable. It was just like when she was six years old and followed Brother Tangtang for the first time when she went swimming in the river. She sank into the water, and the river water filled her nose.

Her ears were so suffocated that she was about to die...

Just like her six-year-old self, she kicked around and shouted, "Save me...Brother Tangtang...Save me...Brother Tangtang...Brother Tangtang..."

I only remember that moment in the summer of that year, he was her god, her savior, her support, everything she had, and the only warmth she remembered in every difficult and lonely moment...

For some reason, she and Xiaonan suddenly became the same person, and her voice calling Brother Tangtang also turned into Xiaonan's milky voice, floating in the blood-like water, crying tenderly and heart-wrenchingly, "

Dad...save me...dad...save me...dad...dad..."

Yan Zhuang was standing by Tao Zi's side, and suddenly he noticed that Tao Zi's face was strange while she was sleeping, her breathing was heavy, sweat was pouring from her body, and she was still mumbling something, which she couldn't hear clearly. It was expected that she had a nightmare, so she lightly

He shook her and shouted, "Taotao? Taotao? Wake up! Wake up!"

After calling twice but to no avail, he called Ning Zhenqian outside the door, "Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen! Come and see! Taotao is having a nightmare!"

Ning Zhenqian ran into the room and saw that she was in great pain. He immediately sat on the edge of the bed, pulled her up and hugged her, gently stroked her sweaty hair, kissed her forehead, and murmured softly.

, "Nanny, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." The child's eyes were like.

I heard her murmuring in her sleep. I listened carefully, but she was calling "Dad..."

He felt sour in his heart, he was no longer the person she needed most in her heart... In the dream, she must be scared, so she wanted to seek protection, so she wanted to find her father. The word father, so

For a child, she is a protector and a mountain of support, but she has no father...

Her lonely life experience and the way she was trembling and frightened in his arms deeply hurt his heart and hurt his eyes. He tightened his arms and brought her closer to him, with pain between his brows.

Wrinkling, he kept calling her name repeatedly, "Nanny, Nanny, Nanny..."

When she was drowning in her dream, she suddenly felt a lightness all over her body, as if she had been lifted out of the water. Then, she fell into a generous embrace, and seemed to be lying on solid land. In short, there was no more ups and downs, no more suffocation and depression.

, the fresh air and familiar smell coming from the back make the whole heart and lungs very comfortable...

She didn't know what her role was, was it a daughter or a little girl? The images overlapped in her consciousness, and she only felt that the solidity that her body rested on made people feel at ease and addicted. She subconsciously stretched out her hand

He hugged the peaceful support with his arms, murmured twice indistinctly, "Brother Tangtang...Dad...", and then fell asleep deeply and peacefully...

Since being admitted to the hospital, Tao Zi has been sleeping and waking up, disturbed by nightmares and unable to rest peacefully. However, this was the most peaceful sleep she had since being admitted to the hospital, and she was always held by Ning Zhenqian.

Ning Zhenqian also saw that it was rare for her to sleep so soundly, so he remained motionless from beginning to end for fear of disturbing her.

Yan Zhuang looked at these two people and sighed at the fate of these people...

When Tao Zi woke up, it was already afternoon. The first thing Tao Zi saw was the familiar military green color. His heart froze and he suddenly woke up completely. Not knowing why he was in his arms, he instinctively let go of his hand and looked at him in horror.

.

Ning Zhenqian saw such eyes and actions, and felt bitter in his heart. When he was sleeping, he was as obedient and clingy as a baby, but when he woke up, he was so avoidable, as if he were a snake...

He let go of her painfully and said to Yan Zhuang in a hoarse voice, "My daughter's clothes are all wet with sweat. Let her wash and change her clothes."

After saying that, she walked out of the ward wisely. If she no longer needs him, if his existence is painful to her, then he will disappear...

Tao Zi stared blankly at him walking out of the ward, feeling an unspeakable pain in his heart, but he couldn't explain why...

"Taotao, come here." Yan Zhuang wanted to scrub her.

She reacted and got out of bed, "Mom, I'll go by myself, I'm not so delicate."

Walking into the bathroom, she took off her sweaty clothes and looked at her belly. Although it had never been bulging, it had always been full of content. She was careful with every step, lest she would be frightened.
