The Male Protagonist’s Daughter

Chapter 39:

Shen Qingruo stayed awake all night, recalling the past bit by bit, and then recalling the various setbacks and difficulties she encountered in raising Shen Yan alone in the past seven years, and she cried several times when she was extremely sad. . In the past, when she was uncomfortable, it was common for her to be trapped in her room day and night, but after becoming a mother, she was a thousand times stronger than before. Before dawn, remembering that the children had breakfast in the morning, she stood up, but almost fell to the ground because she didn’t rest.

After reluctantly drinking a cup of hot milk, she regained her spirits and came to the kitchen to knead the noodles.

Shen Yan and Luo Shuyan are both pasta lovers. At first, Shen Qingruo would go out to buy noodles. Many, she often gets up early in the morning to roll noodles for them.

Luo Shuyan got up and washed and came here, still sleepy, smelling the fragrance from the kitchen, her eyes lit up, exhausted, walked quickly to the kitchen, took a deep breath, He said in a very exaggerated tone: “Aunt Shen, I smelled the fragrance right at the door. Are you making hand-made noodles for us today? Is today a good day?”

Shen Qingruo turned her head and said with a warm smile, “Seeing how hard you guys are going to school, I’ll cook you something delicious.”

Luo Shuyan noticed that Shen Qingruo’s voice was not right, with a thick nasal tone.

When she got closer, she saw that Shen Qingruo’s eyes were red and swollen, obviously crying.

Shen Qingruo didn’t want the child to see her like this, so she hurriedly avoided the past and lowered her head to cover herself.

Luo Shuyan was surprised, Aunt Shen and Shen Yan had moved in for more than two years. In her impression, Aunt Shen had always been gentle and graceful, never arguing with others or talking She speaks softly, making people feel like a spring breeze, and she has no choice in dealing with others. She has never seen her gaffe.

Luo Shuyan pursed her lips and asked her in a low voice, “Aunt Shen, what’s the matter with you?”

Shen Qing lied like an unprecedented lie: “I read this touching novel yesterday, and I cut an onion again this morning, nothing happened.”

Luo Shuyan looked at her suspiciously.

But she didn’t ask any further, just turned around and ran to the gas stove, and instructed Shen Yan, who came to the kitchen after hearing the movement, “Take out the small pot and fill it with water, let’s cook some more eggs. .”

I also eat boiled eggs, it will kill you.”

Luo Shuyan hummed: “Then don’t eat it when I cook it.”

With Shen Qingruo around, Luo Shuyan dared to operate the gas stove.

…

“You eat first, I’ll clean up the kitchen.”

Shen Qingruo dropped those words and returned to the kitchen.

Luo Shuyan and Shen Yan at the dinner table look at me, I look at you, and finally Luo Shuyan took two hot eggs from the plate and went to the kitchen again.

In the not-so-spacious kitchen, Shen Qingruo was wiping the counter with a rag.

Luo Shuyan walked over and pulled her clothes, Shen Qingruo turned her head and saw Luo Shuyan put two eggs in her apron pocket, raised her head and smiled Said: “Aunt Shen, it is said on TV that if your eyes are swollen, you can use an egg to apply it. The effect will be very good.”

Shen Qingruo was startled for a moment, and almost burst into tears.

In the first 20 years, she was spoiled, but few people treated her with sincerity. Now she has fallen from the clouds, but she has gained so much sincerity.

She squatted down, stretched out her hand and hugged Luo Shuyan, smelling the child’s body, she felt extremely at ease.

She didn’t say anything, Luo Shuyan didn’t ask anything, just raised her little hand, hesitated for a while, and finally landed on Shen Qingruo’s shoulder, she patted it as comfort.

Shen Yan, who came from the dining room, stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at the scene in front of her, lowered her eyes, but stopped.

—

The two children were on their way to school, Shen Yan was unexpectedly silent today, Luo Shuyan was still worried about Shen Qingruo, and she did not speak, who was always chattering.

When she was about to reach the school gate, Shen Yan finally couldn’t bear it anymore, gritted her teeth and asked, “What’s wrong with my mother?”

Luo Shuyan was still immersed in her own world, and when she heard this, she subconsciously stopped, “I don’t know either.”

She felt that she and Shen Yan were best friends and should not have secrets.

The last time Shen Yan found out that something was wrong with her father, she told her right away, and now she can’t hide it from him.

“Aunt Shen seems to be crying, her eyes are swollen, and her voice is wrong.” Luo Shuyan looked at Shen Yan, “She said she read a touching novel and cut an onion. , but I don’t think so.”

Shen Yan was silent, frowning, obviously thinking.

Yesterday, before he went to bed, his mother read and recited in high spirits. Why did he change when he woke up?

What happened during this time?

Compared with Luo Shuyan, Shen Yan knew her mother better. At the most difficult and most difficult time, her mother also gritted her teeth and stood up, except that she cried after being rescued by Uncle Luo. , basically never saw her cry, mother is the bravest and strongest person he has ever seen.

Now listening to Luo Shuyan, it is more serious than that time.

But what was going on, he couldn’t figure it out.

Luo Shuyan sighed when she saw Shen Yan, and said softly, “Shen Yan, let’s pretend we don’t know anything.”

Shen Yan looked at her suddenly.

“You taught me this way before, didn’t you? Adults have reasons for adults. If they don’t want to say anything, we just pretend we don’t know anything.” Luo Shuyan persuaded him in turn, “I I also asked Aunt Shen today, but she didn’t say, that’s her attitude, she didn’t eat breakfast with us later, just didn’t want you to find out, let’s not make adults embarrassed, okay?”

Shen Yan told her that adults have adults’ considerations, and they don’t want to say that there must be a reason why they can’t say it. As a child, in order not to worry adults, they pretended not to know anything. .

Maybe this is the greatest help and relief to them.

On a winter morning, when she speaks, she exhales heat. Luo Shuyan has snow-white skin, wears a thick down jacket and a red woolen hat, her nose is frozen red, and her big clear eyes stare at follow him.

Shen Yan also looked at her, and finally nodded lightly, “Okay.”

—

Although the two children have made a solemn decision, it does not mean that they turn a blind eye to Shen Qingruo’s sadness.

After school at four o’clock, Luo Shuyan and Shen Yan went to the flower market opposite the direction of the community.

She also rides a bicycle to the flower market to buy a handful of flowers to keep at home, but recently, she has been busy and rarely buys flowers.

Luo Shuyan thought of this good idea. Women like flowers. When they are unhappy, buy some flowers for Aunt Shen. Aunt Shen should be happy again, right?

Shen Yan, who used to sneer at her ideas in the past, this time it was rare to not insult her, and she took out her pocket money for the past two days from her schoolbag and gave it to Luo Shuyan to buy flowers funds.

Since Luo Shuyan knew that she was a rich second-generation, she has not been so economical in spending money, but she has not been lavish. She also had money in her hands, but because she couldn’t figure out the price of the flower market, she accepted Shen Yan’s pocket money.

Holding a few dollars, the two children carefully passed the traffic lights and walked for several minutes before arriving at the flower market.

This flower market is about to close, and some stall owners closed their stalls early. It’s hard to come across a family, and there are not as many varieties of flowers as in the morning.

The boss saw that the two children were exquisite and cute, and his tone was much gentler, “Children, what flowers do you want to buy?”

Luo Shuyan shook her head, “I haven’t thought about it yet.”

The boss was amused by her tone of voice, “Are you going to give it away?”

“Yes.” The person who answered the question was Shen Yan. In order to prevent the question and answer from being like squeezing toothpaste, this time he didn’t wait for the boss to continue to ask, he added: “Give it to My mother.”

The boss had a clue in his mind and pointed to the flower placed in the corner, “This is a new flower. People from the provincial capital send carnations to their mothers.”

Luo Shuyan and Shen Yan looked in the direction he pointed, and were disappointed.

The name Carnation is really nice, but against the backdrop of other delicate flowers, it is really unremarkable.

Shen Yan looked at Luo Shuyan and asked for her opinion with her eyes.

Luo Shuyan, a senior member of the Appearance Association, shook her head decisively, “Boss, we don’t want carnations, are there any other beautiful flowers?”

The boss pointed casually, “There’s not much, you can choose by yourself, and I will charge you a cheaper price.”

Shen Yan and Luo Shuyan walked into the store, although the boss said that it didn’t cost much, but they were all picky, and the difficulty in choosing had also occurred at this moment.

“What flowers did you buy?” Shen Yan turned her head and asked her.

Luo Shuyan is also in trouble, “The roses are beautiful, but they are all given to girlfriends by boyfriends.”

Shen Yan was stagnant, it was the first time he heard this statement, “Where did you hear it?”

“It’s always like this on TV, the hero sends roses to the heroine.”

The two children chose to choose, and finally Luo Shuyan took a fancy to the sunflower in the corner and asked the boss to wrap it in newspaper. When Luo Shuyan paid the money, the boss teased Shen Yan while collecting the money : “How can you let the girl pay when you go out to buy things together?”

The boss is very young, and he often jokes about the men and women who come to buy flowers on weekdays.

Luo Shuyan didn’t intend to take care of such adults’ self-righteous jokes.

How could she know that Shen Yan, who has always been noble and glamorous, responded, “My money is in her hands.”

He told the truth, he gave her all his pocket money after school today.

The boss had already found some change for Luo Shuyan. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, “Young man, you have a great future.”

Shen Yan thought she had explained everything, so she ignored the boss and followed Luo Shuyan out of the flower market.

Luo Shuyan saw Shen Qingruo coming, so she pushed Shen Yan and whispered, “You will be happier if you send her, fool.”

In the past, she gave her father a painting that she drew by herself. Dad was very happy, and he still keeps it well. Dad said that what he liked most was the gift she gave him.

Shen Qingruo saw the interaction between the two children and asked warmly, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Yan then stepped forward, stretched out her hand behind her back, handed the sunflower to her, and said uncomfortably, “Mom, I gave it to you. Luo Shuyan bought it together.”

Luo Shuyan didn’t expect that Shen Yan would be so awkward towards her mother. When she usually scolded her, she didn’t have a lot of words, and she often spoke out into chapters, and at the critical moment, she lost the chain.

She resolutely stepped forward and said unfinished words for him, “Aunt Shen, we hope you are happy every day, laugh often, and everything goes well!”

Shen Qingruo was stunned, seeing the concern on the faces of the two children in front of her, she stepped forward, took both children into her arms, and said with a soft smile, “Thank you.”
