Chapter 13 - 1997 (1)

You said, what should I do? Say something to me, just one sentence.

Ju Nian went back to the house and moved out an old ladder and leaned it against the loquat tree. Han Shu wanted to say, "I'll do it." She had already staggered up. As a gentleman, Han Shu took it for granted and reached out to the foot of the escalator. Unexpectedly, Ju Nian didn't appreciate it. She stepped on the fourth ladder tremblingly, as if she had struggled for a while before saying, "Well, can you please let go of your hand? Your hand is shaking so hard, I don't want to die yet."

Han Shu was a little angry and embarrassed. She thought she was determined to go against her, but the fear she was so serious when she climbed the ladder tightly, forcing him to believe that she seemed to have helped her, so she had to let go. When he took back his kindness, Xie Juinian said thank you very ignorantly. Han Shu listened to her sincere thanks, and almost threw the apology she had accumulated over the years to the sky, thinking hatefully that it would be better to throw you to death. But things went against her wishes. Although Xie Juinian was shaking on the ladder, she miraculously stood firm. She picked a full handful of hand for Han Shu, not to mention decocting water to treat coughs, she could even use it as a meal to eat for a while.

Han Shu was a little suspicious of her subtext, and she didn't want to leave him the opportunity to ask for it next time after using it. But he said in his heart that if this matter was not resolved, even if she digs the roots of the tree, it would be endless.

When he left, Ju Nian said goodbye. Han Shu once again despised her inappropriate words, because he walked near the car and turned around. He clearly saw her secretly adding a lock to the iron door. What goodbye, she definitely hopes that she will never see you.

On this side, Xie Juinian closed the door and heard someone jumping back to the bed quickly. She walked back to the room, passed by a room with a faint door, and pushed open the door, and saw the little man on the bed posing in an extremely standard sleeping position.

Ju Nian said to the person on the bed disapprovingly: "Pretend, dress hard."

After a while, the girl got out of bed and followed Ju Nian into the kitchen.

"I saw, who is he?" Nowadays, children are precocious, in their early teens, and have reached the age of expressing doubts about everything, and are beginning to be extremely curious about things between men and women. Ju Nian thought that compared to them, she was really behind. When she was in elementary school, she firmly believed that she was pulled out by her mother when she was using the bathroom.

"Hmm?" Ju Nian looked back at the girl, "Oh, he is alone."

Her answer is roughly nonsense, obviously unable to satisfy the curiosity of a child about to enter puberty.

"I know he is a human being! You guys are tugging, it's very strange, ugh, we didn't cause any trouble."

"How can we get involved with so many troubles?" Ju Nian smiled. Who has this child inherited? When she said the word "trouble", she was not afraid in her tone, but was a little excited. She actually didn't understand at all. The real trouble was not the seasoning of life.

The girl was obviously quite dissatisfied with her aunt's perfunctory attitude: "Aunt, don't lie to me, I'm not an eight-year-old, I'm ten years old."

Although Ju Nian didn't know the essential difference between an eight-year-old child and a ten-year-old child, she decided to answer the question and let the girl go back to bed: "I just met someone before. He was a little excited when he saw the loquat leaves in our family. You know, he had been coughing for a long time."

"But I think you're weird."

"Why do you say that?"

The girl curled her lips: "You are smiling fakely."

"If you have such a strong observation ability when writing essays, I guess your Chinese scores will improve faster."

"You hate him?"

Ju Nian finally couldn't help laughing. She was most afraid of children pretending to be adults.

"Do you know what hatred is?"

"I hate Zhang Li when she said bad things to me from other classmates in the class, and wanted to knead her into a ball. Otherwise, you just hate your rag."

Ju Nian subconsciously lowered her head, the stove was empty, she didn't boil water at all, and the rag that she originally planned to use to wipe the table was almost rubbed by her. She threw the rag back on the chopping board and washed her hands: "Yes, this idea is very creative. Look, your milk."

"Aunt, is he your former boyfriend?" The girl took the milk and sat on the small stool in the kitchen. The child's gossip spirit is also very strong.

"Why are you so interested in a stranger?" Ju Nian sat next to her.

"Because he's handsome."

The keywords of the problem finally surfaced. The child was reluctant to give in, not because he was afraid of causing trouble, but because he loved and hated, whether it was true or false, but because she thought others were handsome.

"Haha." Ju Nian laughed dryly, looking at the pair of eyes that were almost in the shape of a heart on the smiling face opposite, "The aesthetics of adults and children are really much different."

"If I had known him before, I would definitely not forget, will he come? Have you told him that our loquat tree will bear fruit?"

"This one, probably won't be there."

The child was somewhat disappointed and supported his chin with one hand, and somehow he was distracted. After a while, a sentence suddenly appeared: "Auntie, do you think my father is more handsome than him?"

Ju Nian has become accustomed to the fact that no matter what he discusses, the final topic is connected to her father.

"Of course, your dad is very handsome. He doesn't seem to have seen him before."

"No!" The child put the bottle on and was excited, with white milk foam on his lips. "I'm not talking about Si Nian's father, I'm talking about my dear father, the one who gave birth to me!"

At this time, Ju Nian would rather continue to be entangled in the question of "hate or hate". At least such a question is sufficiently abstract for the child, and her answers can also be very abstract. The most wrong thing she did was that she should not try to bring this child to her parents to meet her "father-in-law and mother-in-law" last year. She felt that after so many years, parents should be able to forgive her, and the child also needs a more normal family atmosphere. As a result, the stalemate between herself and her parents has not changed for many years. The old mother, who is not a proper person, even told the fact that her cousin Xie Sinian is just the adoptive father of the child in front of her.

The child was nine years old at that time. Because his parents were not around since childhood, he had a special sensitivity to his life experience. She was still watching cartoons and actually understood the meaning of the sentence mixed in the quarrel.

What surprised Ju Nian even more was that the child did not cry at that time, and he still felt a strange excitement until he returned here. Perhaps in the girl's heart, she had been looking forward to a turning point in her life. Her father was not the mysterious father of Sinian who was never around, and her mother was not a dead person. She did not need to live alone with an ordinary aunt. One day, her young and lively and loving parents would come to her side on colorful clouds, pick her up, and live a happy life from now on. Ju Nian's mother's words just confirmed her hazy fantasy, making her feel that all this was possible and that her life would turn point.

Since then, the child has never stopped his high enthusiasm for finding relatives. She kept asking Ju Nian about the whereabouts and situations of her biological parents. When Ju Nian repeatedly told her that she didn't know, she began to constantly fantasize about her parents' appearance. Anyone she likes, the stars she likes, and even the protagonists of cartoons may be related to her life experience. The endless and diverse questions that answered her are annoying. If the child had not been to boarding primary school, she would have turned white in front of these questions sooner or later.

The most terrifying thing is that I don’t know if it was caused by TV series or girl comics. One day, the child even asked her seriously: “Aunt, tell me the truth, did you give birth to me? You gave birth to me when you were young, and you dare not admit it, so I was adopted by Sinian’s father. Are you my mother?”

Ju Nian was stunned at the time and used many photos in a hurry. She finally convinced the child that she had never given birth, although she longed for such a big baby.

How disappointed the child was at that time, and his eyes were whimpering for a long time. Ju Nian pretended not to know that she was huddled in the quilt and cried because she was completely powerless in the face of such disappointment. In the face of many bad answers, Ju Nian was willing to give her a bad one that was not that bad. Who had no fantasy? When he was young, Ju Nian also fantasized about her true identity as a princess. She put a pea under her mattress and tried hard to feel it. As a result, she had a good dream all night. She didn't know where the pea had rolled. How could a real princess be so nervous?

Isn’t fantasy just used to shatter?

Fortunately, since then, the frequency of questions about biological parents has decreased significantly. Ju Nian just breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, Han Shu's appearance today disrupted this calm again, causing the question mark that was most troubled to appear in front of her again.

"You are so cute, of course your biological parents will not be ugly. You think of them in your heart, and they think of you in your heart. Maybe one day you can really reunite." Ju Nian no longer tries to convince the child that she is born by her cousin Xie Sinian. Perhaps it would be better to let the child make up a parent that will never appear in his heart than to let her accept the fact that his father, Sinian, has not appeared in three years.

The girl seemed to be very helpful to this compliment, and her attention finally changed successfully: "But Zhang Li said I am not as beautiful as her!"

"Zhang Li is jealous." Ju Nian said in a very fair tone. At this time, of course, you will have to feel wronged Zhang Li.

"I also think Zhang Li is not pretty, and her mother is also very fat. By the way, aunt, I almost forgot about something. Can I invite Li Xiaomeng and the others to my house to play tomorrow at noon?"

"Of course." Ju Nian pinched her little face, "Wow, is Li Xiaomeng your new friend?"

"Yes, they didn't play with me before. Many people wanted to play with them, but they didn't like it. Now they agreed to let me join the four sisters. Li Xiaomeng said she had never been to our house and wanted to come and have a look."
