Stand-In Boyfriend Fu Zheng Ji

Looking at Li Xiangyuan's back, Zhang Ling was indeed a little angry.

How big a thing can be without explaining to their mother and daughter before running away?

Xiaodouzi seemed to see a golden opportunity.Still pulling Zhang Ling's hand, she said, "Mom, don't worry about Dad, let's go to the pavilion first and see the rabbit lanterns, okay?"

"But..." She hesitated.

Zhang Ling was in a mess when she heard the siren of the fire truck.

I always feel that the voice is like a relative calling.

Xiaodouzi looked at Zhang Ling's hesitation and called "Mom" again.

Zhang Ling's heart felt like it was being pinched.

Obviously it wasn't Xiaodouzi's tone that made her worry, it was as if she had learned from her father that her mother had already passed away.

She seemed to be shrouded in an environment full of oppression at this time.

Obviously, it cannot be caused by the pleasant environment with mountains and water, corridors and pavilions, and pleasant scenery.

Why do you feel this way?
She kept thinking about why.

Xiaodouzi felt that his "mother" finally worked.She took her mother's hand and was walking towards the pavilion where the rabbit lantern was hung.

She looked a little dazed, looking at the picture of the mother and daughter from a distance, a bit like Xiaodouzi walking with a giant puppet.

Images of what happened before she left grandma flashed in her mind.

Li Xiang is being pestered by Xiaodouzi to play origami.

Paper airplanes can fly in the air, paper boats can be used for rafting in the water, paper tigers have the air of a king, etc., in the eyes of Xiaodouzi, everything is so vivid and novel.

The little girl just wanted to learn all these skills.Thinking of having the opportunity to show off in front of the children.

The nurse helped clean up the dishes. Zhang Ling was going to help out, but was mysteriously called into a bedroom by her grandmother.

It was just the two of them in the bedroom.

Grandma directed her to pull out a large suitcase from under the bed.

When you open the box, you can see some old clothes from the previous era.

Grandma pointed to a corner of the box and said, "Lingling, where, feel for it, is there a round thing wrapped in red cloth? Take it out."

Following her grandma's guidance, she took out a mysterious thing.

Zhang Ling just wanted to hold it in both hands and send it to grandma, but grandma smiled and said, "Open it and have a look!"

The mood of the unwrapped red cloth is like an innocent young man hiding in a corner and peeping, a girl who has had a crush on her for a long time is preparing to take a bath.

With a surge of emotion, she finally opened the last layer of red cloth.

A pair of jadeite bracelets with delicate and transparent germplasm, bright and pure colors, with faint clear water bottom and pinkish purple bottom, no cracks.

It is said that in the weddings of nobles in the Qing Dynasty, mothers usually gave their daughters a pair of jadeite bracelets.

Its intention is to wish your daughter a happy marriage, a happy couple, and a happy ending.It also means that the husband married by the daughter is a gentle and modest gentleman.

She said to her grandma with eyes full of love: "Grandma, this pair of jade bracelets is so beautiful!"

Grandma smiled again and said, "Let's go drifting. Put it on and let me see."

Perhaps because she liked it too much, she didn't consider grandma's intentions, and just followed grandma's instructions to put the bracelets on her wrists.

She was admired by grandma for a long time like a bracelet model.

Only then did grandma nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, it looks good. This pair of bracelets was given to me by my mother as a dowry when I was young."

Zhang Ling was a little panicked when she heard this, and she wanted to take off the bracelet and return it to her grandma, saying, "Ah, such a precious thing. Grandma, I still..."

But grandma held her hand tightly and said, "Don't move! This was originally prepared for you. If you wear it, you will be the legitimate granddaughter-in-law of my Li family."

Once upon a time, she was tired of watching movies and TV dramas, and there were often scenes like giving family heirloom jade bracelets.

And the heroines in the plot are often because of this gift, they are devoted to the hero.

Every time she sees such a scene, she will be disgusted and criticized.

Unexpectedly, today she, Zhang Ling, was lucky enough to become the heroine of a similar plot.

She felt that she was not the women portrayed in film and television dramas.

But from the moment the bracelet was on her wrist, her soul seemed to be in chains.

There is a strong desire in my heart, urging myself to take it off as soon as possible.But her limbs were very honest and unwilling to move.

With grandma's stop, she had a convincing reason to convince herself to accept this gift.

Gifted by the elders, dare not to give up.

"Okay! Grandma, I'll accept it." Zhang Ling said with a smile.

She secretly said to herself, grandma is getting old and has been seriously ill all year round, this is the most inappropriate time to make grandma angry.

It's the same when I have the opportunity to return the bracelet to Li Xiang in the future.

Grandma looked at Zhang Ling and nodded happily.

Thinking of this, the happy face of grandma in memory suddenly turned into a face of pain.

She was dragged by Xiaodouzi, stepped on one foot, and climbed up the steps of the pavilion. The bracelet on her wrist instantly weighed a hundred catties on her arm, causing her body to fall down suddenly.

It felt like someone was purposely preventing her from ascending the pavilion.

She had no choice but to take back the foot she had stepped forward.

Weird!
The sudden feeling of letting the body fall disappeared immediately.

Seeing that Zhang Ling couldn't be dragged anymore, Xiaodouzi turned around and urged, "Mom, it's here, come up quickly."

Zhang Ling looked at Xiaodouzi and wanted to answer "yes", but as soon as she moved her mouth, she felt that her vocal cords could not make a sound.

It sounded like her grandma was calling "Lingling" in her ears.

Granny is here?

Zhang Ling hurriedly turned her head to look behind her, only to see two half-grown children chasing after her.

For a while, she felt that all this was just an illusion.

Just as she was about to raise her feet and move forward again, the feeling of her body falling appeared again, and this kind of pressure made her almost lose her balance and fall.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xiaodouzi yelled nervously.

Zhang Ling gritted her teeth and stood up again, looked at Xiaodouzi and said, "Mom, I suddenly feel unwell. Let's say goodbye to grandma and go home."

Xiaodouzi looked at Zhang Ling's pale face, and looked back reluctantly in a sensible way. The rabbit lantern who was close at hand said, "Okay, then listen to mother and go home."

The moment she decided to turn around and go home, the inexplicable sense of depression in her heart disappeared, replaced by the sense of urgency of chasing time.

"Mom, please slow down, Xiaodouzi will soon be unable to keep up with your footsteps."

Xiaodouzi kept calling behind her, Zhang Ling looked back at her daughter indifferently and said, "Hurry up!"

Even though Xiaodouzi fell down, she remained expressionless, picked her daughter up again, and continued to rush to grandma's house.

Xiaodouzi is very tenacious.

I can’t remember how many times I fell, I lost a pair of shoes under my feet, my toes were cut by something and bleeding, but I still followed Zhang Ling without crying or fussing, as if I felt the same pain as Zhang Ling. Good things happen.

When he came to the entrance of the alley, he saw the busy figures of the firefighters, and Li Xiang wanted to rush into the alley like crazy, but was stopped by the firemen forcibly and failed.

The nurse slumped on the ground and kept blaming herself: "It's me, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have listened to her, left her at home alone, and went out to buy some brown sugar..."

Xiaodouzi endured the pain of his foot injury, looked a little frightened at the crazy Li Xiang, shook Zhang Ling's arm and said, "Mom, do you know what happened to Dad?"

When Zhang Ling heard Xiaodouzi's question, she just looked down and didn't say a word.

She secretly prayed that what happened was not the unfortunate thing in her mind.

Xiaodouzi was very well-behaved at this time, standing beside him and watching silently, without saying a word.

Trying to find out what happened from the words and deeds of those people you saw?
A firefighter rushed out of the alley carrying a person on a stretcher.The doctor who was waiting for emergency rushed over.

"Your Majesty!" A heart-piercing voice pierced the sky.

Zhang Ling's brain buzzed immediately.

Unbelievable that something happened to Grandma Kung Fu at this moment?

She suspected that all this was not true, and hurriedly walked forward a few steps.When it was enough to see that the person on the stretcher was grandma, her feet were hard to lift as if they were filled with lead.

At this moment, Xiaodouzi finally understood why "Mom and Dad" came back so eagerly?
The little girl recalled her grandmother feeding her meat and teaching her how to make flowers.

(Note: Maliu embroidery, commonly known as "tie flowers", is a folk embroidery art popular in Chaotian District, GY City, SC Province.)
Because grandma always used to wipe her mouth with a handkerchief when eating.The careful little Douzi saw that the pattern of flowers and birds on grandma's handkerchief was beautiful, but it looked a little old and worn.

As soon as she had an idea, she asked grandma to teach her how to embroider beautiful patterns on the handkerchief?

Grandma saw that she was quite talented in this area, and she was able to embroider complete flower patterns on a piece of white cloth for the first time.

Therefore, a small bean was specially presented, some embroidery needles, embroidery base cloth, embroidery thread, and auxiliary tools such as thimbles, iron scissors, flower frame, embroidery indigo and so on.

Xiaodouzi looked at the special gift her grandma gave her, and happily assured her, "Great-grandmother, next time I see you, I will embroider a beautiful handkerchief for you."

Zhang Ling worriedly reminded at that time: "Little Douzi, I won't interfere with you embroidering handkerchiefs, but you have to remember not to waste your studies, do you hear me?"

"Understood." Xiaodouzi curled her lips and said.

Grandma looked at Xiaodouzi's reluctance, stroked her little head with her hand, looked at Zhang Ling cheerfully and said, "Look at Xiaodouzi's clever appearance, I will definitely not miss my study."

"Exactly!" Xiaodouzi said triumphantly as if he had found a backer against Zhang Ling.

For Xiaodouzi, when her great-grandmother stroked her little head, the remaining warmth from her palms on her hair had not completely dissipated.

And great-grandmother didn't use the handkerchief she embroidered by herself.

Xiaodouzi also had a hard time accepting this reality, so he let go of his mother's hand, and walked towards the grandma on the stretcher alone.

At the same time, Li Xiang also ran towards the stretcher, and saw the emergency doctors before approaching, shaking their heads and waving their hands to signal that the people on the stretcher were hopeless.

"Impossible! Doctor, doctor, how could you turn around and leave without giving help? Come back, please..." Li Xiang pulled the doctor who wanted to leave like a shrew fighting in the street.

The onlookers choked up and felt uncomfortable because of Li Xiang's words and deeds.

This is far more penetrating than watching a bitter drama on the screen.

"Sun, grandson, don't..."

Suddenly, grandma's voice rang in Li Xiang's ears, and he immediately turned around and threw himself in front of the stretcher and said, "Yes, I am, my mother is here. What do you want to say?"

Grandma's cheeks were blackened by the smoke, and the skin was cracked, with a trace of blood oozing out. Her dry lips squirmed and made a weak voice: "Don't embarrass the doctor, grandma's body knows best."

"No, ma'am, don't say that quickly. Didn't you say that you still have to wait to hug your great-grandson? You haven't hugged your great-grandson yet, why do you just..."

Li Xiang couldn't speak any more when he was sobbing.

Coincidentally, Xiaodouzi also appeared beside grandma, gently touching grandma's cracked face with her little hand, and said with tears in her eyes, "Great-grandmother, it must be very painful. No, Xiaodouzi will call the doctor for you..."

"No need." The grandma grabbed his wrist with difficulty, then pulled it lightly, and hugged the little girl by her side. Her eyes were full of love and said, "Grandson, who said I didn't hug my great-grandson? Look, grandma Not still holding Xiaodouzi."

"Great-grandmother!" Xiaodouzi yelled just in time.

Zhang Ling had already regained her composure at this moment, and she was also standing beside Xiaodouzi, stroking the little head with one hand in an attempt to comfort her.

At the same time, she looked at her grandma and called out "Grandma".

Grandma looked at Zhang Ling, grabbed Zhang Ling's hand with one hand, and Li Xiang's hand with the other. With the last bit of strength, she put the two hands together, and she closed her eyes with a happy smile. eyes.

It seems that grandma has seen Zhang Ling and Li Xiang holding hands in front of her and holding a grand wedding.

……

Initial investigations by firefighters found that the fire was caused by a gas leak.

The nurse on the side shouted very firmly: "Impossible. I saw that the valve of the gas tank was closed when the kitchen assistant left. And none of us used gas again after that."

Hearing these words, Li Xiang was a little out of control. He stepped forward and grabbed the nurse's shoulder tightly, and asked with a grim face, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!" the nurse said firmly.

"Murder, this must be murder." Li Xiang shouted as he scanned the surrounding crowd with scarlet eyes.

What a coincidence!

Zhang Ling also found a suspicious figure. Hearing Li Xiang's shout, he quickly turned around and disappeared into the crowd with a nervous expression.

She had a sense of familiarity with that figure.

But she couldn't remember where she had seen this figure?
The firefighters and ambulance personnel left one after another. Zhang Ling really wanted to stay and help Li Xiang with grandma's funeral.

But because Xiaodouzi can't spend the night outside, he still needs to go to school as normal tomorrow.

Li Xiang probably didn't want people to know that his grandma had passed away, so he also persuaded Zhang Ling and her daughter to leave first.

Although she couldn't bear it, she could only decide to take Xiaodouzi back to the orphanage first.

"Mom, my feet hurt!"

Xiaodouzi finally couldn't bear the pain in his feet, and tugged Zhang Ling's hand and shouted.

Zhang Ling looked at Xiaodouzi's pair of gray and white children in dilapidated condition, and the remaining cloth strips were stained with blood-stained soil.

"Little Douzi, why are you running around without shoes on?" Zhang Ling asked distressedly.

Xiaodouzi said with an aggrieved face, "That's when I ran back from the park with my mother and lost it."

"What?" She thought with a frozen expression.

She squatted down slowly and looked at Xiaodouzi's feet, her heart began to tingle again in an instant.

Before, when she watched her grandma pass away without crying, she burst into tears in an instant.
