One Hundred and Eighty-Fourth Miss Him? (One)

She has never called this number. I just found this from my father this morning. According to my father, it took all kinds of twists and turns to get it.

"Hello, who is it?" The phone rang for a while, and a middle-aged woman's voice came from the other side. When Xia Xingchen heard it, unconsciously, his eyes turned red.

Even after so many years, she can still recognize her mother's voice immediately.

"Hello?" Didn't hear the answer from this side, the other side called again patiently.

"Mom." As soon as Xia Xingchen spoke, there was a tear in Xia Xingchen's voice, "It's me, I'm Xingchen."

"..." Over there, it seemed that they were too shocked and didn't recover for a long time. When he woke up again, only the sound of forbearance sobbing could be heard through the microphone. Tears flowed down Xia Xingchen's eyes, and he couldn't help it anymore.

Xia Dabai was so anxious over there, he wiped her tears with his sleeves and coaxed her not to cry. Afraid of scaring the child, she smiled and said it was tears of joy.

………………

After talking with Shen Min on the phone, Xia Xingchen went over with peace of mind. The taxi went around for a long time, and by the time it reached the town, it was already past 7 o'clock.

By this time, it was completely dark. The night here is not like the city. At this time, the neighbors had just had dinner and were rushing through the door, so it was very lively.

Xia Dabao had never been to this kind of town before, and his big eyes rolled around, very curious. The little feet bounced on the bluestone road, and it was very fun.

"Xingchen!" She appeared with her luggage, and Shen Min was already waiting at the door. Xia Xingchen looked at the middle-aged woman, and stopped in his footsteps. After a long time, he felt a little timid because of his closeness to his hometown.

Time passed, years, more or less left marks on her face. However, even so, my mother was still the gentle and elegant woman in my memory. The hair is coiled behind the head and tied with a hosta. Dressed in Tsing Yi, in the twilight, reflecting such an ancient town, it is like an elegant landscape painting.

"Dabao, grandma is calling you." Xia Dabai pulled off her trouser legs to remind her, and then she regained consciousness, put down the box, and walked over quickly. The mother and daughter looked at each other, embraced, and became red-eyed again.

I was full of words to say, and I also had a heart full of thoughts to confide in, but in the end, they all turned into tears.

...

into the house,

Xia Xingchen discovered that there was no other person in the whole room except them. My father said that my mother was married for the second time, but there was absolutely no trace of a man in this clean and warm home.

"Come in quickly. Although the room is a bit crude, it is still spacious. Let's go in and talk." Shen Min seemed very happy, with a slight smile on his face all the time. Arranged a tidy room for the mother and son, and went out to close the door by himself.

The bed here is tatami, very simple. Xia Dabai thought it was very fun, he took off his shoes and rolled around on the bed.

Now that Shen Min came in, Xia Dabai didn't make any fuss, and sat down obediently beside Xia Xingchen.

"Dabai, call me grandma." Xia Xingchen pulled Xia Dabai down. Xia Dabai immediately called obediently and sweetly: "Grandma."

Shen Min looked very surprised, her eyes flicked from her daughter's face, and then fell on the child, "Your child?"

"Yeah." Xia Xingchen patted the child's head.

"Are you married?" Shen Min had a complicated expression, happy for her daughter, but also deeply sad and regretful. Marriage is a lifelong event, but, as a mother, she missed it...

"No." Xia Xingchen touched the corner of his lips and shook his head. Seemingly knowing what his mother was thinking, he stretched out his hand to hold her hand again, "If one day I really get married, you will definitely be the guest of honor."

/> It's just... She didn't actually think about getting married. With Xia Dabai, she can also consider not getting married. It's just that grandma will be more anxious in the past two years. Shen Min obviously didn't react, "Not married? Then this child..." Xia Dabai hurriedly hugged Xia Xingchen's arm, "I am the biological child of our Dabao." Shen Min looked at the child, then at the daughter . The demeanor of the two people is indeed very similar. Undoubtedly his own. It's just that you are not married, but have children? "The child's father..." Shen Min was worried, afraid of touching on her daughter's distress, halfway through the question, she couldn't continue. Xia Xingchen lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on the fingertips of the two people, and after a while he said in a muffled voice: "Actually, it was... an accident. However, it has been so long, and there is nothing to mention." She tried to look optimistic. If my mother knew how Li Lingyi treated her back then, I'm afraid she would be heartbroken, and she would hate her father even more! Shen Min sighed, feeling uncomfortable. Xia Dabai seemed to see that the atmosphere between the two was dull, so he interjected crisply: "Grandma, don't worry, my dad will marry Dabao soon! He is a responsible man, and he will definitely not abandon Dabao No matter!" "Really?" Shen Min dubiously believed what the child said. He looked at Xia Xingchen searchingly. Xia Xingchen thought of what Song Weiwei said at today's press conference, and felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't squeeze out the word 'um'. …………………… That night. Xia Xingchen and Xia Dabai slept on the tatami, and she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. Only now did I know that my mother did not have the so-called remarriage at all. After the divorce, the father who stumbled for a while was still begging for peace, and the mother chose to return to the countryside in desperation. Today, going around, there is still no one around. Xia Xingchen couldn't help but think of himself. She didn't know what kind of man she would meet in the long years to come. It's just... After there is such a person in my heart, it will probably become very difficult for other people, right? "Dabao, you've already seen your mother, why aren't you happy?" Xia Dabai turned around and faced her. Xia Xingchen glanced at him and touched the corners of his lips, "I'm not unhappy." He blinked his eyes twice, "You miss Xiaobai, don't you?" "...No." "Liar. You must be thinking Xiaobai." Xia Xingchen bit his lip, unable to speak. Xia Dabai suddenly got up from the tatami and got out of bed. She called out, "It's cold, come back quickly." "We agreed to call Xiaobai." Xia Dabai fumbled for her mobile phone from her bag, and got back under the covers. Xia Xingchen rolled up the quilt for him and turned off the light. His small hand turned on the screen of the phone, and the faint light shone on his little face. "I'm calling Xiaobai now, Xiaobai must not be asleep yet." "Stop calling." Xia Xingchen wanted to take the phone back, "He didn't call you, why did you call him?" "Yes You said, he is busy, so I can forgive him if he didn't call me." Xia Dabai said, and he has skillfully dug out the address book of 'Xiaobai'. Xia Xingchen knew that he couldn't stop him, so he simply followed him. Turn around and pretend to sleep.
