Chapter 145: Mother and Daughter

The baby wakes up every day by herself when it’s time, but she always likes to wait for her mom to come over and call her before getting up because she had a good time with Feng Dayong yesterday, especially because she built three snowmen – two big ones and one small one – as if it’s her, her dad, and her mom, and she wants to tell her mom about it before she can’t wait to get up and go look for her mom.

If she hadn’t been so tired yesterday that she fell asleep, she would have waited until her mom came home, but when she got up she didn’t see her mom, who was supposed to be busy in the kitchen, and there was no one in the restroom, and she pushed open the door to her mom’s room to find that she was still sleeping. The baby smiled and wanted to play scratching with Zixan. She used to be tickled by her mom, but today it was her turn to tickle her mom.

However, when she touched Zi Shan’s body, she was shocked by the heat on her body, it was so hot, so hot, and then she looked at her mom’s face, it was so red, and her mom didn’t wake up, she couldn’t help but worry, so she followed her mom’s example and touched her mom’s forehead with her hand, it was also so hot, so hot.

The baby remembered that when she was sick, her mom also said that her forehead was hot, and now her mom’s forehead was so hot that she should be sick. She looked at her sick mom for a while, thinking that her mom had to work hard every day and take care of her, and now that her mom was sick, of course she couldn’t let her mom get up and work hard to make breakfast again.

She was sick and her mom took care of her. Now that her mom is sick, of course she should take care of her.

First of all, of course, is the problem of food, mom has not yet woken up, she thought she should go to buy breakfast first, when mom woke up just in time to take the medicine to eat. She took the money from her piggy bank, put on her clothes and went downstairs to buy breakfast. Because of the slippery road, she even fell down once on the way there, although it was very painful, but this time she didn’t cry and didn’t shed any tears – her mom was sick, but there was only her in the house, she could take care of her mom – just like Uncle Jiang said. -Just like Uncle Jiang said, mom loves her but she has to love her mom too.

She was still a little kid even if she was careful with the breakfast she bought, still a little kid of only five years old, so the wontons shifted around in the bag and spilled a lot of soup, some of which splashed on her clothes, but she still rushed back as fast as she could, just to make sure that her mom ate a hot breakfast.

She remembered that her mom had once said that people who were sick had to eat a hot meal in order to be good for their health.

Zi Shan was startled by the child’s words, looking closely at the baby she realized that she was a little wet and dirty, and her face was cold when she touched it, “You went out to buy breakfast back?”

The baby nodded, pushed Zi Shan to sit down on the bed, and climbed to the bed to uncover the quilt: “Mommy, you lie inside.” Seeing that Zi Shan didn’t move, she went over and pulled Zi Shan again, then covered Zi Shan with the quilt. Because she was really small, she was so busy that she actually saw sweat on her forehead.

“Mommy don’t you move.” The baby panted, but still did not sit down to rest instead ran out, a moment later she brought back half a cup of hot water, should be afraid of scalding, wearing her little gloves to carry the cup of water, a small step by small step walked with extreme caution: “Mom, you first take the medicine.” She put the cold medicine and water on the bedside table.

Zishan was already in tears, and cried as soon as she hugged the baby – she really didn’t expect her tiny daughter to be able to take care of her who was sick already, more than being touched, there was also heartache, such a good child should have a happy and fulfilling home, but she couldn’t even give the child a complete home.

Children who understand and become a family early grow up on suffering, which only means that she is not a good mother, she would rather let the baby be like other children, who now only know how to play and be pampered, instead of taking care of her sick mother like a little adult who is busy.

The baby was scared by her mom and hurriedly went to touch her forehead, then gently patted Zixan’s chest again: ”Not afraid, not afraid, you’ll be fine after you take the medicine. Mommy, you take the medicine you’ll get better, won’t you?” Her worry finally exploded before Zixan’s tears and they welled up, her greatest fear was that her mom would leave her.

Death was something that she understood even though she was little. “Mommy, you’ll be fine with the medicine.” She repeated this phrase over and over again, not only to comfort Zixan but also to comfort herself, believing that her mom would be fine.

Zi Shan hugged her baby and cried so hard that she couldn’t speak clearly, “Mommy will get better, Mommy will get better.” With a daughter like this, she really has nothing more to ask for in her life, reborn to this day, she is not without wounds and pain, she just does not think about it, does not touch it, just a drum to move forward, running hard forward, in order to get rid of those past.

Now, she knows that even if she loses everything, as long as the baby is worth it, God has treated her very, very well.

The baby reached out to wipe the tears from Zi Shan’s face, “Mommy don’t cry, baby don’t cry,” she was still worried about her mother’s illness so she picked up the medicine, “Mommy, the medicine isn’t bitter.” She said here remembered something, in the coat pocket digging ah digging out a grain of sugar: “I still have sugar, medicine is bitter once swallowed to eat sugar will not be bitter.”

She looked at Zi Shan with her small hand holding the sugar and medicine, “There’s sugar, it won’t be bitter.” Seeing Zishan’s tears flowing out again, she used her other little hand to wipe her mom’s tears, “Mommy, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.” Her voice was soft, with a unique childish sound that really could enter the depths of one’s heart.

She was learning from Zi Shan when she coaxed her, she didn’t understand why her mom cried so much, but when she was sick she also wanted to cry, she just wanted to cling to her mom’s arms and cry, and her mom always patted and coaxed her gently like this.

Zixan’s tearful eyes took the medicine and looked at it, it was actually really cold medicine, the baby hadn’t taken it wrong: “Mommy don’t cry, don’t cry.” She took the cup and swallowed the medicine, “Mommy will be fine soon.”

The baby crawled to Zi Shan’s side and held Zi Shan’s head’s in her arms, “Well, it’ll be fine, mommy will definitely get better.” She patted Zixan twice suddenly remembering that she couldn’t let her mom sleep now, “Mommy, you can’t sleep until you eat.” She climbed out of bed again to get the rice but was pulled back by Zi Shan.

Zi Shan was afraid that the baby would get burned, “Mommy can go by herself.”

The baby stubbornly pushed Zi Shan down so that she could lean on the bed, “Mommy is a sick person who needs to rest, the baby has grown up.” She didn’t allow Zi Shan to get up, and insisted on bringing over the wontons herself, but of course, by the time the bowl of wontons reached Zi Shan, there was only half a bowl left.

Zishan was not hungry, but she ate all the ravioli with her tears, it was the most delicious ravioli she had ever eaten in her life.

Li Yao Xu had said that life after a divorce was hard, especially when there was no man in the house, it wasn’t as hard as you could imagine. It’s not that Zishan doesn’t believe in it, she just doesn’t have a choice, Feng Dayong has changed his heart, and being together reluctantly doesn’t end well.

Today, she finally realized the hardship – Li Yao Xu said that the days after divorce are not as good as the days of being alone, and it’s really true. Because, she wasn’t alone, she still had a little daughter, and when she was sick she not only couldn’t take care of her daughter, but she also had to make her five year old daughter worry.
This is something she never expected. But, she doesn’t regret divorcing Feng Dayong because of this, it’s just that she has to think about how she can prevent the same thing from happening again, she can’t let the five year old baby take on responsibilities that her tender shoulders shouldn’t have to take on anymore, she’s still a child, and Zi Shan doesn’t want to see her maturing too early.
The baby took the bowl in Zi Shan’s hand, used a towel to wipe the sweat flowing out of Zi Shan’s forehead, and pulled back the quilt: “Mom, lie flat and sleep, wake up, you’ll be fine.”
Zishan looked at the baby and took out her cell phone, “Baby, mommy is sick, let Uncle Fatty come to pick you up and take you to school, okay?” She couldn’t shed tears even if she was touched because it would scare the baby.
The baby shook his head, “No. I want to stay home and take care of mommy, I’m not going anywhere.” The small child has a stubborn temper, which in the past is Zi Shan did not find, ordinary days, the child and she always have a discussion, as long as she can say the reason to the child will never be stubborn.
This nature is somewhat like Zi Shan. Zi Shan is usually a very good talker, but when it comes to the things she wants to insist on is eight head of cattle you can not pull her head, mother and daughter is mother and daughter, even the character is the same.
No matter what Zi Shan said, the baby only one sentence, “Mom is sick, I want to take care of mom”, even if Zi Shan said to let Xue Jing and Chu Xiang to come, the baby also shook his head: “You do not lie to me, Mom, Auntie Chu and Auntie Xue, they have to work, you do not go to work today, they will be very busy, they can not come to take care of you. you.”
Children are too smart, sometimes they can really give adults a headache, right now, Zi Shan has a real headache, an adult and a child who can’t convince anyone. However, in the end, the baby came up with a solution, “Let me call Uncle Lin to come, I’ll take care of you with Uncle Lin.”
The baby finished grabbing Zi Shan’s cell phone and dialed Lin Hao, as she waited for an answer she said to Zi Shan, “Mom, with Uncle Lin you don’t have to worry about me, and I’ll ask Uncle Lin to call our teacher for a leave of absence as well.” She was still considering things thoroughly, although it was a bit late to think about taking a vacation, she had thought about it.
Lin Hao’s phone but there was no answer, the baby frowned and looked at the phone muttering, “How could this happen?” She watched Zi Shan hold out her hand for the phone and she ran away, “I’ll try calling again.”
Zi Shan sighed, knowing that Lin Hao was 80% busy again, she wondered if it was the medication, she felt pangs and pangs of sleep coming on, knowing that she had to find a grown up for the baby, she couldn’t leave her alone at home. Also, she had to call the baby’s teacher so she wouldn’t have to worry about it again in kindergarten.
The baby came back from the living room handing her cell phone back to Zixan, “Got through, just go back to sleep mommy, I’ll be good and won’t move the scissors or go play in the kitchen, I’ll just sit here and watch over mommy.” She sat down next to Zixan and patted Zixan with her little hand one by one, “You go to sleep, mommy.”
