Yi Cheng took Er Qiang and San Li Simei to play in the courtyard and taught Qi Qi how to walk.

Dahuang and Xiaohei, who were a lot bigger than when they first bought them, kept wagging their tails next to them, and the caged reed chickens walked around with graceful steps.

"Come Qiqi, come to Third Sister!" Sanli stood in the distance, beckoned to Qiqi and spread her arms. Yi Cheng bent down and stood behind Qiqi, stretching her hands under his armpits, carefully

He was holding Qiqi.

Seeing the third sister greeting him, Qiqi's face immediately showed a smile.

Although it only took one night and one morning, it was enough for Qiqi, who was just over one year old, to get familiar with his brothers and sisters.

Qiqi immediately took a step forward, and when her body leaned, she was about to fall to the side. Fortunately, Yi Cheng kept supporting her and helped Qiqi stabilize her body.

Qiqi just staggered up to Sanli and threw herself into Sanli's arms.

"Qiqi is so awesome!" Sanli smiled and took a sip on Qiqi's little face, which almost made the little guy happy.

The brothers and sisters all had smiles on their faces and looked very happy.

Simei spared no effort to clap her two little hands and clapped vigorously.

"Dongdongdong!"

Just when the five brothers and sisters were happy, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Who is it?" Yi Cheng still supported Qi Qi, but raised his head and shouted loudly towards the courtyard door. Er Qiang, San Li and Si Mei also stopped talking in unison.

"Is this Wang Zhong's home?" The woman's voice from outside the house was loud but gentle.

"Yes, who are you?" Although Yicheng felt that the friend Wang Zhong mentioned was outside the door, he was cautious and did not say his name immediately.

"My name is Ma Suqin, and I am Wang Zhong's friend. Are you the first or second strong?" The female voice outside the house came in again. After hearing the words, the first percent was able to determine the identity of the person outside the door, and immediately said to the second strong.

"Second Qiang, go and open the door quickly!"

······

In the afternoon, after work, Wang Zhong returned home as usual, got off his bicycle at the entrance of the alley, and prepared to push the bicycle into his yard.

As soon as I knocked on the courtyard door, I heard Sanli's voice coming from behind the door, "Who is it?"

"it's me!"

"It's uncle!" Sanli immediately smiled and ran to open the door.

"Eldest brother, second brother, and uncle are back!" Sanli immediately shouted to the back room and Ma Suqin, wearing an apron, also walked out of the kitchen.

"Sister Suqin!" Wang Zhong greeted Ma Suqin with a smile.

Ma Suqin also said to Wang Zhong with a smile on her face, "Xiao Zhong is back! The meal is almost ready, you have to rest first, you can eat it soon!"

With that said, he turned around and entered the kitchen.

"Uncle! Let me get your bag for you!"

Yi Cheng also walked out with a smile and took the initiative to help Wang Zhong carry his bag, but Wang Zhong did not refuse.

"Where's Qiqi?"

"Qiqi is asleep! She's on the bed in the back room!" Yicheng said.

In the evening, Yi Cheng took Er Qiang and the others back home. Although they were reluctant to leave Qiqi, Sanli and Simei also knew that they could not cause trouble to their uncle, so they could only say goodbye to their lovely little brother reluctantly.

After the four children left, the house suddenly became quiet. Women and men are indeed inherently different. We had only seen each other for a long time. Qiqi was in Ma Suqin's arms, neither crying nor fussing, and she was a little clingy.

people.

…"Sister Suqin, how are you doing? Are you still used to it?"

Ma Suqin nodded and said, "Very good."

"The two strong men are not causing trouble, are they?" Wang Zhong asked.

"No, no, Yi Cheng and Er Qiang are both well-behaved and obedient, especially Yi Cheng, who is young but very sensible."

Wang Dian nodded and said, "The child Qiqi has been fostered in his second aunt's house. We can only run over to see him often, but after all, we are not living together. After a long time, we will wait for the child to grow up.

It is inevitable that He Yicheng and the others will be a little unfamiliar, and after all, his second aunt is not the child's biological mother. When the child grows up and becomes naughty, it will be difficult to discipline him."

Ma Suqin also nodded in agreement, looked at Wang Zhong with a bit of concern in her eyes, and said, "I heard him talk a lot about Yicheng's family today. Yicheng's father is like that again. You, little

At your age, you have to carry such a heavy burden on your shoulders, thank you for your hard work!"

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Under pressure, I have the motivation to work hard. If it hadn't been for this, I wouldn't have thought about submitting articles to magazines, and I wouldn't have had such an opportunity to make money."

Wang Zhong's answer surprised Ma Suqin. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of brilliance. Her eyes wandered up and down Wang Zhong for a moment before she said, "You are different from others."

"Oh? What's different?" Wang Zhong asked.

“It’s different everywhere!”

As soon as these words were spoken, a faint smile appeared on her pretty face.

"By the way, Qiqi, this child, only weighed more than four pounds when he was born, and his body bones are weaker than those of his peers. When I checked him yesterday, I discovered that the bones in his legs were not well developed. You

When you are taking care of him, if you find anything unusual about him, you must tell me as soon as possible."

Looking at Xiao Qiqi in Ma Suqin's arms, Wang Zhong said seriously.

"I've written it down!" Ma Suqin also nodded cautiously, glanced down, closed her eyes, and gradually fell into a deep sleep, Qiqi said, "I was still surprised during the day today.

Why is a child over one year old so small?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but frown and feel distressed. He looked at Qiqi in his arms and sighed, "For such a small child, his mother left as soon as he was born, and his body and bones are not good! Oh~~~"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Zhongdao said, "The world is unpredictable and we cannot control it. What we can do is to relax our mind, work hard, correct our mentality, and welcome every storm in life."

"You are young, but you have a lot of truths!" The more contact Ma Suqin had, the more she discovered that she knew so little about Wang Zhong, a former co-worker, junior fellow student, and current boss, the benefactor who had awakened her.

.

It seemed that what he knew and saw before was just the tip of his iceberg.

"Age does not mean experience!" Wang Zhong said with a smile, "Maybe it's because of my childhood experience, so before I do something, I like to be quiet and think about it. Over time, I slowly developed the habit of thinking.

.”

…"I wish I could see things as clearly as you do before!" A trace of regret flashed in Ma Suqin's eyes.

Although Ma Suqin loves to be beautiful, she is still a relatively traditional woman at heart. She is no longer the young lady she was in her early years. She is just a woman who has fallen into ruins. She is still older, and he...

Ma Suqin raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Zhong quietly. Under the dim incandescent light, Wang Zhong could not be said to be handsome, but he was more handsome and handsome. His angular face, especially under his sword-shaped eyebrows, was as calm as an ancient well.

, eyes as bright as stars, made Ma Suqin unconsciously feel ashamed of herself.

Uncontrollably, the figure at the factory gate that day emerged in her mind. The figure who was not very tall, but protected her from the wind and rain and held her firmly in his arms, was like a poppy flower, taking root in Ma Suqin.

heart.

Women have always been emotional creatures. In addition, Wang Zhong is not ugly, and with Liu Dakui as a clear comparison object, all the advantages of Wang Zhong are infinitely magnified at this moment.

As the saying goes, love doesn't know where it starts, it only goes deeper once it goes away.

Wang Zhong also didn't expect that this quick glance would be filled with such complex emotions.

However, compared to Ma Suqin, He Xiaoping in the youth world and Zheng Juan in the human world have also experienced hardships.

"It's not too late to be transparent!" Wang Zhong said with a smile, "People's eyes are in front, so of course we have to look forward. Whatever happened in the past is already in the past. What we have to do is live the present moment well.

Looking to the future.”

Seeing the warm sun-like smile on Wang Zhong's face, and feeling the slightly concerned eyes falling on her, Ma Suqin suddenly felt like throwing herself into that tender but warm embrace.

The feeling of leaning on those shoulders that are not tall enough, but strong enough.

Ma Suqin was stunned for a moment, wondering why she had such an idea. She immediately moved her head, looked away, and suppressed the dangerous thoughts in her mind.

"As expected of someone who can publish articles in magazines, she always talks in the same way." Ma Suqin quickly changed the subject, but with her pretentious look and evasive eyes, how could she keep it hidden?

In her Wang Zhong.

"Sister Suqin, please stop teasing me!"

Wang Zhong said with a wry smile and a bit of pleading.

Ma Suqin subconsciously glanced sideways at Wang Zhong, and when she saw his wry smile, she suddenly felt happy in her heart.

"Qiqi is almost asleep. I'll take him into the house first."

After saying that, he stood up hurriedly as if running away and disappeared from Wang's attention.

Wang Zhong watched Ma Suqin's panicked back disappear from his sight. The corner of his mouth raised a slight arc, but he didn't mean to strike while the iron was hot. Instead, he turned on the desk lamp, took out the pen and ink from the desk drawer, opened the manuscript paper, and dipped the tip of the pen into the paper.

I scraped the ink on the mouth of the bottle a few times, and after thinking about it for a while, I started writing furiously.

Ma Suqin settled Qiqi, and when she came out of the room, she saw Wang Zhongduan sitting in front of the desk with a serious look on his face, crouching down and writing quickly.

After staring blankly for a long time, Ma Suqin suddenly woke up and hurriedly went out to wash her face and brush her teeth. She then took a cold shower in the shed built by Wang Zhong in the courtyard.

...By the time Ma Suqin finished cleaning up, it was almost half an hour later. In the nearby study, the dim incandescent light was still the same, and the light shined through the window and onto the ground in the courtyard.

Through the window, the figure at the desk still looked the same as before, his expression still so focused. Looking down from his brow, Ma Suqin's eyes fell on those calm eyes again.

With just one glance, Ma Suqin felt as if a big whirlpool had appeared in front of her eyes, and she was suddenly sucked into it.

What made Ma Suqin even more helpless was that she didn't even have the slightest intention of resisting, and she even felt a little happy in her heart.
