all the mornings

Chapter 41 Little Yu (4)
"I gave her an iPad, and she's playing Angry Birds. Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to Yingying." Li Sichuan calmly assured Xiaoyu, hoping that his attitude could influence her. To Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu lay down on the bed, tired, she asked sleepily: "When shall we go back? Why don't we go directly to Xi'an?"

Li Sichuan covered her with a quilt, "Go back when you get up."

Xiaoyu finally fell asleep.Li Sichuan left the bedroom and saw Yu Xiushan who was already sitting there in the living room.He wasn't surprised at all. He called "Dad" and collapsed on the sofa. When he saw a cup of tea on the coffee table, he picked it up and drank it. After drinking, he asked, "When did you come?"

"Have you been to Jin's house?" Yu Xiushan didn't answer these polite words, but pointed to the jade pendant on Yingying's chest.

"Ah? Yes, I went there early in the morning and just came back. It was given by my aunt, who said she was invited from Kaiyuan Temple." Li Sichuan smiled, "Actually, I don't really believe it."

Yu Xiushan snorted, took out a bunch of bodhi seeds from his pocket, and put them on Yingying's wrists, "This is from the Golden Buddha Temple in Thailand, wear it to ward off evil spirits. Where's Xiaoyu?"

"Just fell asleep." Li Sichuan said.

"Mom is crying," Yingying took off the string to play with, "Mom is sick, call the doctor." She looked up at Li Sichuan.

"Okay, call later." Li Sichuan replied.

"Oh," Yu Xiushan sighed, "How can I not cry when I go to that kind of place. I've been there, as long as I'm satisfied." He was just doing the same to his ex-mother-in-law, just fulfilling the responsibility of a junior.He hugged Yingying and said, "What's the taste of living here? Why don't you go to my villa to stay for a few days and soak in the hot springs. I'll be back soon. Just stay for a while, don't rush to leave."

Li Sichuan was in a dilemma, Yingying said again: "Father said to go to Xi'an, and mother said to go to Yumen Pass. Dad, is this the Xi'an and Yumen Pass?"

Yu Xiushan frowned and said: "No." Then he said dissatisfiedly: "Why did Xi'an Yumen pass again? You didn't want to stay in Jinjiang or something? Baby, when will Mom and Dad say to go?" Xi'an?"

"A long time ago." Yingying said.

"Didn't you promise me to bring them back during the Spring Festival last time you came back? So you were perfunctory?" Yu Xiushan immediately questioned his son-in-law.

Li Sichuan said: "I said I would try my best, but I didn't say I would guarantee it. If I had known that I would come back, and Xiaoyu's situation was like this, I really shouldn't have let her come back."

"You can't let her come back after her grandma dies?" Yu Xiushan asked sharply, "Is this the attitude of a child?"

"You didn't see what Xiaoyu looked like just now. She only has half her life left. Do you know how her grandma treated her? Why did you allow such a thing to happen? Is that the protection that children should have? ?" Li Sichuan didn't show any weakness, and asked back immediately.

Yu Xiushan was taken aback, and asked, "You know everything?"

Li Sichuan shook his head and said, "I can't think of what kind of father would see his daughter in such a situation and not take action to stop it... Things may be worse."

"Isn't her mother normal?" Yu Xiushan argued, "I didn't expect it to be like this, and I didn't pick her up later?"

"It was her uncle who sent her back, not you to pick her up." Li Sichuan said.

Obviously Li Sichuan hit the key question, Yu Xiushan stopped being tough, but asked: "Then what are you going to do? Leave immediately, or stay here?"

Li Sichuan thought of the scene of being watched by crowds in the morning, how could he stay there any longer.But Xiaoyu's current situation is indeed not suitable for traveling on the road again, but Yu Xiushan's proposal just now moved him, so he asked, "Dad, where is the villa you mentioned?"

Yu Xiushan's villa is on the side of the mountain, backed by the mountain and facing the sea, the environment is as good as a resort on the Mediterranean Sea, only a little far away from Jinjiang, but this is exactly what Li Sichuan and Xiaoyu need.If there are too many relatives, frequent visits are inevitable, not to mention that it is such a big event as Mrs. Jin's funeral, people who have not been in touch for a long time will appear.One by one to recognize relatives, no one can bear it.

When Yu Xiushan made this suggestion, he said it because of Xiao Yu's face.At that time, Xiaoyu didn't say yes, and it was inconvenient to say no, so he was looking for an excuse to decline, when Yu Xiushan saw this, he said: "You get there and rest well, we won't bother you."

Li Sichuan knew that the "we" he said must include his wife, Yu Xiang, Yu Mu and his mother.I am deeply impressed by his arrangement.

"For Chinese New Year, I have to make contact with each other. I still have more than ten receptions to go to. I really don't have time to accompany you. I'm afraid I won't have time for myself until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I'll try to find time to come and see you again. "Yu Xiushan laughed at himself, "Everyone is mortal, and you can't tell when you will leave. Like your grandma, who was still drinking one moment, and the next moment will be dead. If I can live to her age, I will already be Amitabha." If I return to heaven early, you, the eldest sister, will have to bother to take care of Yu Mu."

Li Sichuan saw that his talk was getting more and more sad, and even the funeral was arranged, so he didn't want to listen anymore, so he changed the conversation and said, "Dad, it's Chinese New Year, don't talk about it. Next time, bring Yingying's little uncle, we Make a kiss."

Xiao Yu obviously wished that they would not come, so she just said, "Thank you Dad, we will go and live there for two days."

Yu Xiushan was overjoyed and sent a car to take the family of three to the villa.

Yingying is most curious about the ever-changing life and environment these days. It is nothing to her to change a place for a day. She has so many new things to see, and she is too busy to absorb them in time. The matter of grandma I forgot.She said to Xiaoyu: "Mom, I like daddy at home."

"Being with dad is more fun than being with mom, isn't it?" She said and glanced at Li Sichuan, quite unconvinced.

Yingying thought for a while and said, "When Dad is at home, Mom will smile more." Then she pursed her lips and ran away.

Xiaoyu was touched to the point of tears again, and the tears rolled in the eyes.

After resting at the seaside for two days, she recovered from her illness, but her mood was still low.

Li Sichuan was very proud, and said to Xiaoyu with a smile: "I feel a little sour in my heart, don't you want my daughter to find out, don't you? I didn't expect my daughter to see that you are a paper tiger who is a strong outsider and a good at nothing."

"She's so smart, how could she be so smart?" Xiao Yu wiped her tears and said, "I couldn't compare to her when I was young." She said, her expression darkened again, "I really don't want her to see that."

Li Sichuan said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, have you ever thought that she doesn't know what those are. What she sees is what she thinks, but they are people like us. For example, we are new to a city, or just arrived Overseas, you see so many people every day, do you know where they come from? Isn’t this exactly what happened to Yingying? To her, everyone is a stranger, there is no difference. As long as we don’t express surprise, She'll think it's nothing unusual."

"Ah, you're right. It's mainly because of me, so you can accept it better. I always think of the days when I was with Grandma, and I have a sense of uncleanness. It's not the environment, it's..." Xiaoyu said very It was difficult to find a correct adjective, and after thinking for a while, I said, "It seems that something has been taken away from the body, and it seems that something has been forced in. There is something in this body that does not belong to me. , and some of them are scattered somewhere.”

"You have been disguised very well, and you never gave me a chance to touch your soul." Li Sichuan hugged her tightly to his chest.His chest was pressed against her back, and his body temperature warmed her soul, "Is it because of this feeling?"

"I don't think my past can be shared with others, and neither can you." Xiao Yu looked at the sea in front of her, "I hope there is a medicine that can forget all the things I don't want to remember."

"Look at how honest I am with you. I tell you everything, including being adopted, abandoned, and crushed. Did I tell you about my crush?" Li Sichuan kissed her ear.

"And this? I don't remember, please say it again." Xiao Yu turned her head and smiled.

"Oh, this story is too simple, it can be finished in three sentences. Our school is a different department. One day a black girl suddenly came to me. At that time, I was building a model of a building with a class of classmates. On the side of the road, she stammered and asked if I had a girlfriend. I said no. Then she asked if I would mind having a black girl as my girlfriend. I said no. She asked, then she can be me Girlfriend? I was stunned when I heard it, and I didn’t come back to my senses for a long time. She said that she had observed me for a long time and wanted to be friends with me. I didn’t know how to answer, but the students next to me started booing, and I was dizzy. She replied, "Thank you, I haven't considered it for the time being." She walked away very disappointed. Well, there is no later. That's it." Li Sichuan said, "I later thought, am I a bit of a person who judges people by their appearance? If it's a pretty white girl, I might say yes."

"That's more than three sentences." Xiao Yu laughed straight, and said, "So you are a person who has a lot of peach blossoms, white and black, so I am ashamed to say it. Are you not afraid that I will be angry?"

She said so, but with a smile on her face, she didn't look angry at all.

"It's because you don't care. I just said it. If you get angry as soon as you hear it, twist your ears and slap you, I'm sure I won't show off." Li Sichuan smiled, "I was lucky to meet you."

"Your love history is so sunny that you can meet people. I like to hear it." Xiao Yu also smiled, as if he really didn't care about his past luck, "It was my luck that I met you. When I was young , not so lucky."

"What do you mean when you're 'young'? Would you be in your 20s when you met me? Isn't that the best age?"

Li Sichuan pulled Xiao Yu to sit down on the beach.There were only three or two people on the beach, presumably they were all the owners of the villa here.Babies are picking up shells on the beach.

The seaside in the South, the sound of the waves, the winter sun gently shining on people, makes people want to take off their sweaters so warmly.The afternoon is the lazy time, and the slight noon fatigue strikes, making people have the desire to talk and the patience to listen.

Xiao Yu leaned on his shoulder and said: "A girl's best age should be eighteen or nineteen years old. When I met you, I was already 27 years old. That was not my best age. At my best age , I met someone who made me sad. My luck has always been bad, and the first half of my life was full of disasters." She paused, "I have too much wealth. My mother once said that I have a weak character and cannot be suppressed. But she gave me all her wealth, and all I want is for her to live."

Xiao Yu smiled wryly, "Fortunately, after I met you, I changed my luck. I couldn't believe my good luck. I always thought it was a dream. The ancients said that when a person is full, he will overflow. It is doomed. As much as my life is rich, my feelings will be as lacking. I am afraid that I will rob Yingying of happiness, and I dare not enjoy too many blessings. If I have less, Yingying will have more. "

"Oh, you think too much! Don't you think that what you think is unknowingly influenced by your early years?" Li Sichuan put his arms around her waist, making her cling tighter.

"Si Chuan," Xiao Yu looked up at him, "Have you sent An Zu an email and asked him about Le Congqian?"

Li Sichuan was startled, and looked down at Xiao Yu in his arms.There was no trace of blame in Xiao Yu's eyes, so he was relieved.

"Yes. I'm sorry, I asked him about the past behind your back. I should have thought that with the closeness between you and Anzu, he would forward the email to you instead of telling me what you didn't want to say. I was wrong , if you don’t want to say it, don’t say it. My love history, when I think about it now, is more of a youthful mischief, and I have never really loved anyone, so I can use it as a joke when I face you. You Unlike me, when a lover dies in love, it can be a lifelong wound. Especially since you are such a sensitive person, you must have been very sad at the time."

"How much do you know?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Not much, I only know that when you and Le Congqian were studying in the UK, you had a lifelong engagement in the school church."

He didn't mention the wedding. Now he thinks that Le Congrang's words should be discounted by [-]%. Isn't it normal for a man and a woman in love to make a lifelong promise when they are in love?As for whether it is in the church or in the playground, what is the difference?
"I thought no one knew, but I didn't expect to hear it from you after so many years." Xiao Yu sighed, "Where did you hear it?"

"Le Er said it. He couldn't do anything to anger me." Li Sichuan said disdainfully, "He had a crush on you, so he married your sister."

"I loved Le Congqian, so I got engaged to Le Congrang." Xiao Yu laughed, "You must think so."

"If not, then I wouldn't hypocritically say it's too regrettable." Li Sichuan never gave up his straightforwardness.

Xiao Yu laughed, "No, fortunately not. At that time, I tried my best to prove something, so I followed my dad's arrangement and agreed to get engaged. If his surname was not Le, maybe I would have followed my dad's decision."

"What do you want to prove?" Li Sichuan didn't understand.

"It proves that Le Congqian's influence is not that great." Xiao Yu smiled, "If you do it for the sake of proof, it is actually tantamount to admitting that his influence does exist. When I thought about this clearly, I gave up fighting against myself , unilaterally announced the divorce, and moved to Shanghai. Then I met you." Xiaoyu smiled, "The decision at that time was correct."

"What happened in London?" Li Sichuan lowered his head and kissed her, and asked, "Do you want to tell me?"

"Yes, I want to throw away all the unclean things that have been in my body for too long." Xiao Yu said, "Let's go swimming, I want to do something crazy. Sea water It shouldn't be too cold, baby's shoes are wet."

She shouted, "Baby, come up."

Yingying heard her voice, picked up the shells she picked up, and walked over step by step.The sun blonded her hair like an angel painted on a church ceiling.

Xiao Yu admired and said: "Look at her, how beautiful, our daughter."

Li Sichuan agreed with her statement, and echoed: "God's masterpiece." After speaking, he felt wrong, and said, "It has nothing to do with God, it is our masterpiece."

Yingying walked up to them and showed Xiaoyu the shell in her hand.Xiao Yu said: "It's so beautiful to pick up so many. When we go back, we'll make a picture frame and hang it on the wall. Dad will make us a picture frame, won't he?"

"Of course," Li Sichuan assured, "Daddy can do anything."

Yingying giggled and flew into the sky like a lark.

"Want to swim?" Xiao Yu asked, "Are you afraid of the cold?"

Yingying shook her head, "It's not cold, this one was picked up in the water." She held up a shell, "Touch it."

A very ordinary scallop naturally has no temperature, but Xiao Yu still held it in the palm of her hand and said, "It's so warm." She took off the baby's shoes and socks soaked in sea water, took off her coat, and was left with a golden one. Small skirt with a print of sunflowers.Baby Baby is like a golden luminous body, illuminating her life.

Xiao Yu stood up and took off her own clothes, thin sweater, trousers, shoes and socks, and a white silk shirt. She took her daughter's hand and walked into the sea. She turned her head and said to Li Sichuan, "Come on."

Under the white silk shirt, she walked barefoot on the beach with her long legs bare.The sunlight pierced through her white shirt, outlining the lines of her body - pure white, with the halo of the sun and a slight orange, so beautiful that people are enchanted.

That was Li Sichuan's dream when he was a teenager. He once thought about buying a dozen white shirts for his girls to wear.

He was 30 when he met her, not young anymore.She had already passed her best years when she met him.I've been through a lot, and I've been hurt all over.But fortunately, they met each other and showed each other their best faces, hiding their ugly past.Xiao Yu originally thought that it would be nice if she could steal a few years of happiness, but she never expected more anyway.She never thought it would have such a happy ending.

Li Sichuan followed her example, took off only his white shirt, and walked into the winter sea.

The cold water made them scream, jump and laugh, and then plunged into the sea and swam to their heart's content.

Li Sichuan hugged his daughter in his arms and wrapped her hands and legs around his body, so that he still had the strength to pull his wife over and kiss her face.Her face was salty, with the bitterness of sea water and perhaps tears.
