Xu Xingshu: "Then how do I send it to you? It's all on my phone. Don't tell me to send it to your email."
As he said this, he actually took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album. He clicked on an album called "Time", and the screen was filled with dense photos.
He clicked on one at random: "Look, this was taken when they were eight years old, participating in a school sports meeting... This one, let me check the time... Nine years old, your daughter won the city's primary school student speech contest.
First prize, I inherited this aspect from you..."
Zhong Qianqian felt itchy in her heart when she saw it, and couldn't help but reach out and take his phone over to look through it herself.
She looked carefully at each piece one by one, and Xu Xingshu came over to explain it to her.
"This picture is of returning to my grandparents' house, picking vegetables in their vegetable field. By the way, my parents live in the countryside now and only come back occasionally... The little one Ni Ni is holding in her arms is Xiao Lai's daughter.
As for the little girl yesterday, she was almost three years old at that time. She was in country Y. I will tell you about Xiao Lai another day... This is a video, click on the one in the middle..."
He really felt that Zhong Qianqian, who was still using a flip phone, was a primitive person, and he was afraid that she wouldn't know how to do it, so he pointed to the play icon in the middle.
"This time, two siblings were fighting, and Linlin was beaten to tears."
He said it in an understatement, but Zhong Qianqian was heartbroken.
The background sound was Linlin's "wow" cry, intermittently: "...I'll sue you to daddy!"
Ni Ni stuck out her tongue proudly at him: "Your dad is also my dad!"
Linlin: "...you bullied me in just one day...wuwu...mom..."
After the video was played, the "Mom" cry was just a child's instinctive cry when he needed comfort. He often did this. Xu Xingshu was used to it, but Zhong Qianqian felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
She looked at Xu Xingshu and said in a low but stern tone: "They are fighting, what are you doing?"
Xu Xingshu laughed and said: "Me? I'm recording a video?"
Zhong Qianqian was furious: "Don't you care about them? They are all crying!"
Xu Xingshu: "What do I care about? If I care about it, the one being protected will be happy, and the other one will scold me as a 'partiality maniac'. Besides, they will be fine in three minutes. I won't ask for this scolding."
"
Zhong Qianqian was so angry that she was speechless: Is this how he became a father?!
Xu Xingshu knew what she meant, and he took the opportunity to say: "You should take good care of them this time. They will listen to you. I really can't control them. I am so angry with them every time that I dare not really hit them! I
Before the stick fell down here, another one over there had already started calling 110, saying that I had abused a minor. It really gave me a headache."
Zhong Qianqian: "I think they... are quite well-behaved."
The younger brother is clingy and well-behaved, while the elder sister is sensible and calm.
Xu Xingshu raised his head and sighed: "It's a little better now. After knowing that I was in debt, he became more sensible and rarely argued with me. Every time he worked overtime, he would call me and ask me to go home early. He was afraid that I would be tired.
.I really feel like my child has grown up, I’m so happy.”
When the debt was mentioned, Zhong Qianqian's heart became heavy.
Apart from anything else, when she was with Xu Xingshu, he helped her a lot.
When she accidentally learned that he had hired someone to install the street lights outside the rental house, her heart was filled with happiness for the first time. That day she took the initiative to hold the hand of this attentive and warm boy.
That was the boldest thing she had ever done in her life.
The boy was not ambiguous at all. He immediately hugged her and said, "Promise me to be my girlfriend."
Later, he didn't know what means he used. His adoptive father's family took the initiative to take out the household registration book and never harassed her again.
When she moved to the school dormitory to move her luggage after graduation, he did not ask anyone, but rolled up his sleeves and helped her move it three times. The books were so heavy that he moved them down from the fourth floor, even his shirt was soaked with sweat and stuck to his body.
, when he looked at her, there was always a smile in his eyes.
He helped her move her luggage to her newly rented house, took a quick shower and left. Only then did she realize that he had a meeting in the afternoon.
Later she asked him why he had to do it himself.
He said, I'm afraid if I ask someone else to move it, your classmates will think that he is your boyfriend.
When you are in love, every word sounds sweet.
They were happy.
Zhong Qianqian came to her senses and returned the phone to Xu Xingshu: "Do you need my help?"
Xu Xingshu laughed and said, "What you do is really useless."
Zhong Qianqian: "Where did you borrow it?"
Xu Xingshu: "Private."
Zhong Qianqian frowned: "The interest rate is very high."
With so much money, the daily interest is astronomical!
If Xu Xingshu hadn't saved Hua Lai and taken care of her for so many years, Jiang Heyu wouldn't have been able to help him unconditionally like this.
Xu Xingshu said guiltily: "Fortunately, he is an acquaintance. Let's not talk about this. Before we find the house, you should go home and live there."
Zhong Qianqian looked at him.
Xu Xingshu explained: "I have no other ideas. Your place is indeed a bit narrow, and the children have to stick to you. We will move out after we find a house. There are many empty rooms in the house."
What he was talking about was a practical issue. It was really inconvenient for Linlin, a half-year-old boy, to sleep with his mother, but he was growing and going to school, so he couldn't be allowed to sleep on the sofa.
Zhong Qianqian: "You coax them back first, and then move here after the house is ready."
Xu Xingshu was unhappy. Otherwise, Uncle Cai had been with him for more than ten years, which was the roundworm in his stomach.
Uncle Cai interjected while driving: "It's not troublesome to move here and there. The family is still scattered. You young people are so energetic!"
Xu Xingshu: "No, Uncle Cai. Qianqian is a writer now and needs a quiet creative environment. She needs her own space. Then your brother is so noisy."
Uncle Cai: "Don't you have a few empty rooms upstairs? Just make them for Qianqian. Normally, the children are not at home during the day, and you are at work. There is no one at home. It's not quiet enough. Besides, it's not quiet enough.
My uncle is a rude person. I have been nagging you for a few more years. Xiao Shu, with your current financial situation, you really need to save some money."
Then he muttered in a moderate voice: "Besides, you are not divorced, so what's wrong with living together..."
Xu Xingshu looked at Zhong Qianqian and said in a consultative tone: "You can go and stay here for a few days and try it out. If you don't get used to it, we can change it later."
Zhong Qianqian hesitated.
Xu Xingshu: "Think about the children. Do you want them to run around twice a day?"
When he had previously advised Hua Lai, he had advised her to be "selfish" and to consider herself first. Now he is persuading his wife to put her children first.
Seeing that Zhong Qianqian was hesitating, Xu Xingshu said, "Do you think you agreed? I will send you back to clean up now. We will pick up the children together in the afternoon. They will be very happy to know!"
Zhong Qianqian: "I..."
Xu Xingshu: "Tomorrow is the weekend, so you can take them out to play. I have to go on a business trip, is that okay?"
Zhong Qianqian had to agree: "Okay... okay."
Xu Xingshu was chasing Zhong Qianqian for the second time. It felt wonderful. He liked it very much, but he was also frightened.
But this time he had one more bargaining chip, their child. This chapter has been completed!
