chapter73 night terrors
When I went back, it was already evening, Kong Kong was soundly asleep, and I didn't even realize that I was carried into the house by Wei Ling.
The Shen family where Wei Ling lives now has lost the noise of the old days, because she and Granny Zhao are the only ones who need to be taken care of at ordinary times, so at first they only hired a cooking aunt, Aunt Wang, and later Aunt Wang’s husband, Uncle Wang, was hired to take care of things. , The couple are diligent and loyal, and the rest will be extra hourly workers or housekeepers to clean up, including gardeners, who are all outside hourly workers.
Wei Ling had called in advance. Aunt Wang was carrying soup and putting it on the table when she entered the door. When she saw a child in Wei Ling's arms, she was startled and exclaimed, "Oh! Where did the child come from?"
Wei Ling glanced at her and motioned her to keep her voice down. Aunt Wang immediately covered her mouth and asked in a low voice, "Miss, why did you bring a child back?"
Wei Ling looked down at Kong Kong's sleeping appearance, smiled, and said in a low voice: "It's not surprising, this is my child."
As he spoke, he ignored Aunt Wang's shocked expression and prepared to go upstairs with Kong Kong in his arms: "Is the room I arranged a few days ago cleaned up? I'll leave that room to him."
Aunt Wang nodded her head and wanted to take her up. At this time, Granny Zhao pushed the door and came out. She probably heard the movement at the door and asked while holding on to her crutches, "Who's back? Is it Wei Ling's child?"
Granny Zhao is nearly seventy years old, so it is not an exaggeration to call Wei Ling a child, but Wei Ling, hearing Granny Zhao's voice, did not know what to think, and walked over to put the empty hole in her arms in front of Granny Zhao. : "Grandma, look, this is Xiaoan's child, I brought him back."
Granny Zhao was stunned for a moment, and her old face suddenly beamed with joy, "Xiao An's child? You mean, Xiao An is back?"
Grandma Zhao knew nothing about Shen Zhian's death four years ago. Wei Ling was afraid that she would not be able to bear it due to her age, so she lied that Shen Zhian was missing and could not be found. She left and didn't want to come back, now that Wei Ling suddenly came back with a child, and said it was Shen Zhi'an's child, how could she not be surprised.
Wei Ling didn't expect that the lie that was just to comfort Granny Zhao and paralyze herself at the beginning would come true one day. She looked at Granny Zhao, nodded, and said, "Xiao An...is back, this child, back then... She also didn't know about it, but now that I know about it, I will naturally be responsible, so we will raise it together."
Granny Zhao understood, she never asked much about Wei Ling and Shen Zhian, and Wei Ling didn't say much.
So Wei Ling nodded after explaining, "Then I'll send him upstairs first."
Grandma Zhao looked at Wei Ling's figure going upstairs, and sighed in her heart, but she refused to say anything.
When Kong Kong woke up, there was no one around him, he sat up from the bed in a daze, and seeing the strange surroundings, he remembered that he had left his mother.
He hurriedly got off the bed, and ran to the door in a few steps. The door was locked, and he couldn't open it after twisting around for a long time. He immediately knocked on the door in a panic, "Open the door! I want to go out! I want my mother!"
Downstairs, Wei Ling was eating, when he heard a noise upstairs, thought of being empty, immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, and ran upstairs. Aunt Wang came out of the kitchen, saw Wei Ling's expression was in a hurry, and quickly followed.
After Wei Ling opened the door, he saw Kong Kong standing inside with tears in his eyes and bare feet.
Seeing that it was her who opened the door, Kongkong was startled and terrified. He was terrified that Wei Ling really wanted to take care of him, and terrified that he would not see his mother, so he yelled loudly: "I want to go home, I want to find my mother!"
Wei Lingwen said softly: "You will see her." As he spoke, he hugged Kongkong and put him on the bed before he struggled hard.
Kong Kong puffed up his face, glaring angrily, his eyes widened.
Wei Ling asked him: "Are you hungry? You haven't eaten tonight, and your mother said you need to drink milk powder at this point."
Kong Kong flicked his face, "Don't drink!"
Wei Ling smiled and said, "I just asked you if you were hungry, and I didn't ask you if you drank."
Kongkong's small face showed a slight discomfort, he climbed to the head of the bed, covered his head with a quilt, "Go, I don't want you!"
Wei Ling smiled, turned around and asked Aunt Wang to take care of him, and went downstairs to make milk powder for Kong Kong by herself.
Shen Zhi'an wrote down many precautions for taking care of Kong Kong on paper. Wei Ling found the book from the luggage, read it carefully page by page, and then took out the milk powder and the bottle.
Wei Ling didn't wash the powdered milk. She looked at the glass feeding bottle for children in her hand, then at the can of powdered milk. After thinking about it, she opened the jar first, found a spoon, and prepared to scoop the powdered milk first.
At this moment, Granny Zhao heard rustling noises in the kitchen, came in to take a look, and saw Wei Ling holding a spoon to deliver the milk powder into the bottle, and hurried forward and said, "Hey! You are rushing in the wrong way!"
Wei Ling shook her hand, and half of the milk powder in the spoon was spilled. She looked back at Granny Zhao, a little dazed.
Granny Zhao hurried over and asked, "Is the child awake?"
Wei Ling nodded, raised his hand and said, "Well, I'll make him some milk powder."
Granny Zhao looked at the table and took the spoon over: "Then you are not doing it right, you have to mix it with water before putting the milk powder in."
As he spoke, he washed the bottle, handed it to Wei Ling, and told her, "Go, prepare something cold."
Wei Ling quickly brought the kettle over and poured it all into the bottle. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find the cool water. After shaking for a few times, I asked Grandma Zhao, "There is no cold water, what should I do?"
Granny Zhao gave her a rare teasing look, and found two cups: "You pour the water here, pour it back and forth, and wait for the water to warm up."
Wei Ling quickly followed suit, Granny Zhao took the empty bottle, looked at Wei Ling's movements, and said with a smile: "It's been so many years, the last time I made milk powder was for Xiao An. She was in poor health when she was a child. I need to recuperate my body, I don’t have milk at all, me! I took care of Xiao An with the old lady. At that time, Mr. Shen had a successful career and the family conditions were good, but he tried his best to let Xiao An eat something good, for fear of treating her badly..."
Aunt Zhao recalled the past, with the corners of her mouth raised and her eyebrows kindly raised. Wei Ling listened quietly, and the movements of her hands slowed down.
"...You don't know, when Xiao An was a child, she looked so small, she was so cute, she was small, she only drank milk powder until she was over four years old, every time I made milk powder for her, she moved a small bench , stepped on the platform, and looked at me helplessly..."
Grandma Zhao recalled it for a while, and saw Wei Ling stopped moving and stared at her in a daze, so she touched her and said, "Hey! Just listen to me, is the water ready?"
Wei Ling came back to her senses, tried the temperature of the water and found it was just right, then poured it into the bottle again, and scooped the milk powder into the bottle. She was unskilled, and the milk powder spilled on the mouth of the bottle, making the bottle sticky. Wipe it with a towel before sending the bottle to the empty room.
Although Kong Kong rejected Wei Ling, his attitude towards Aunt Wang was good. It seemed that it was only aimed at Wei Ling. When Wei Ling entered, Aunt Wang had already bathed Kong Kong. Kong Kong was wearing cute little clothes and shorts. After entering the door, he immediately looked towards the door, saw Wei Ling, puffed up his mouth, and let out a soft "hum".
Of course Wei Ling didn't take his temper seriously, and just passed the bottle forward, "Drink the milk."
No answer, just ask: "When can I go home? I want to find my mother."
Wei Ling said: "As I said, your mother will pick you up soon, can you count? Today is Monday, there are still four days left, drink the milk, get some sleep, and in a few days, you can see her."
Hearing what she said, Kong Kong really counted with his fingers. Wei Ling looked amused in his heart, and stuffed the bottle into his arms without any hesitation.
When Kongkong finally fell asleep, Wei Ling felt some back pain. She thought about Shen Zhian doing this every day. She had just started, and Granny Zhao helped, so she didn't think it was a problem, so she squeezed her shoulders, Suddenly accidentally bumped into the place where Kong Kong had bitten her during the day, she frowned in pain, but she didn't care, she just smiled lightly: "Stinky boy, you are merciless in your mouth."
When Shen Zhian returned home from the hospital, she realized that Kong Kong had already been sent to Wei Ling by herself. She had been busy all day, and now she felt empty in her heart, especially without Kong Kong chattering in her ears, as if a lot of things were missing.
She walked around the house, and this feeling became very obvious. Finally, she sat in the small empty room, touched the toys he often played with, and looked at them for a long time.
She sighed in her heart, Kongkong was brought up by her alone, and she participated in every bit of her growth, and now she is really sent away. Although it was only a short separation of a few days, all kinds of worries would still arise in her heart. He is not used to eating and sleeping well, and he is afraid that he will not adapt to all kinds of things.
Ever since she had the emptiness, her gentleness that had nowhere to rest seemed to have a home, but now, when the emptiness was suddenly lost, she couldn't get used to it.
…………
Because of the events of the past few days, Wei Ling was busy until very late before going to bed, but as soon as he lay down on the bed, he heard empty crying.
Now that she is immune to Kong Kong's crying, she got off the bed neatly and went directly to the empty room.
She was strange in her heart, she didn't expect that such a lively and mischievous child in Kongkong would start crying after leaving Shen Zhi'an.
Turn on the light and see that Kong Kong has already woken up, sitting there sobbing with his eyes closed, he can vaguely hear him muttering something.
Wei Ling was wondering and walked over to hug him, Kong Kong didn't even resist, and put his arms around her neck. Wei Ling was a little puzzled, and turned to look at him, only to see Kong Kong's tears wantonly, a look that seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, Because it was night, she didn't seem to notice that she was held in Wei Ling's arms, but called "Mom" in a low voice.
At this time, Aunt Wang opened the door and came in. She was wearing clothes, and seemed to be alarmed by Kong Kong's movement, "What's the matter? Why are you crying?"
Wei Ling hugged Kong Kong and looked back at her, "I don't know either."
Aunt Wang was surprised. She came over to look at Kong Kong, and saw him leaning on Wei Ling's shoulder, his face flushed from sobbing. It doesn't look like a fever! Is the child uncomfortable somewhere?"
Wei Ling hugged him helplessly, seeing that Kong Kong was crying more and more sadly, so he approached Kong Kong and asked, "Kong Kong, are you feeling well?"
Kongkong didn't speak, just hummed in a low voice, Wei Ling suddenly thought of Shen Zhian, so he found his mobile phone and called Shen Zhian.
After making a phone call, it turned off. Wei Ling felt strange, but he didn't bother to check the reason, so he quickly recharged Shen Zhian's phone number, and then called again, but it turned off.
This time Wei Ling began to think about it, Shen Zhian also had a job, how could the phone shut down as soon as it said it would.
She walked around the room with Kong Kong in her arms, thought for a while, and then asked Aunt Wang to go to the study to find out her custody agreement.
Sure enough, as soon as Aunt Wang came back, she found Shen Zhian's mobile phone number from the above contact information, which was even more different from the one she dialed just now.
Called this time, the other party answered quickly, as if they were waiting for her call, which also made Wei Ling confused for a moment. Could it be that the other party changed the number just to make her anxious?
However, Wei Ling's doubts were quickly interrupted by Shen Zhian's voice, "Hello?"
Wei Ling hurriedly said: "Xiao'an, it's me, Kong Kong cried at night and couldn't be coaxed, so I called you."
Hearing Wei Ling talk about Kongkong, Shen Zhian's attention immediately focused, but Shen Zhian has been taking care of Kongkong, and soon found the reason, "He cries at night probably because his mood fluctuates too much during the day, you give him your phone."
Upon hearing this, Wei Ling raised the phone to Kong Kong's ear and said, "Your mother's phone number."
Hearing what Wei Ling said, Kongkong called out in a daze: "Mom."
Shen Zhian asked over there: "Kong Kong, why are you crying today? Can you tell mom the reason?"
Kong Kong stopped sobbing, and said intermittently: "Because... because I dreamed that my mother didn't want me..."
Shen Zhi'an was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "No, it's empty, how could mom not want you!..."
Kong Kong was next to the microphone, and Wei Ling was next to Kong Kong, so he could clearly hear the voice over there. Shen Zhian's voice was exceptionally gentle, and Wei Ling's warmth surged up when he heard it, and his sleepiness subsided a lot.
"...Then stop crying and sleep, okay?"
"Ah."
"Then wait until you fall asleep before mom hangs up the phone?"
"All right……"
Kong Kong rubbed his eyes, and after a while, he really fell asleep on Wei Ling's shoulder.
After Wei Ling hurriedly put Kong Kong on the bed and covered her with the quilt, she gently pulled out the phone from Kong Kong's arms. She glanced at the screen, and it showed that she was in a call.
Wei Ling wanted to disturb Shen Zhian's rest so late, he probably fell asleep early, but after hesitating for a long time, he put the phone to his ear and called softly: "Xiao An..."
The voice over there immediately sounded, "Wei Ling? What's the matter? Did you just sleep?"
The sudden sound startled Wei Ling, and actually made her feel guilty. She regained her composure and said, "It's okay, Kong Kong has already fallen asleep."
Shen Zhi'an seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Then you have worked hard, go to rest early!"
Wei Ling gave a low "um", but was reluctant to hang up the phone, waiting for the other party to hang up.
After the silence, Shen Zhian suddenly called out "Wei Ling".
Wei Ling quickly responded, "I'm here! What's the matter?"
Shen Zhi'an said: "That... Kong Kong's favorite meals are all written down in the notebook, you remember to tell the kitchen, he is a picky eater, try to make some of his favorites..."
Wei Ling listened to her rambling for a long time, and didn't feel bored, just listened carefully, and finally said softly: "Okay, I know everything, is there anything else?"
Shen Zhi'an paused for a while, and seemed to realize that it was getting late, so he said: "No more, then you can rest!"
Wei Ling nodded, thinking that the other party couldn't see at all, so he said, "I will, and so will you."
After saying this, Wei Ling looked at the phone, only to find that the phone had been hung up.
The author has something to say: the second watch will be later...
