“We can only wait and see.”

Yan Rou's mouth was bitter: "But I will have a good chat with her. If she still can't listen like before, I will no longer care about her and let her hit the wall!"

"Whether she listens or not is her own business. As parents, you just need to have a clear conscience."

If a person pretends to be asleep, no one else can wake him up.

Similarly, it is hard to persuade someone who is looking for death with good words. If your great-niece insists on being stupid, just let her be!

Looking back, she wanted to see if the little girl regretted it.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou got up. They said goodbye to Jiang Li, took their daughter Zhiyin and son Zhiyan into the car and headed to Yan Rou's father's house.

Not long after they left, Ming Ting appeared in front of Jiang Li.

"mom…"

Sitting on the sofa opposite Jiang Li, Ming Ting's eyes were filled with confusion and he didn't say anything.

“Is something wrong?”

Jiang Li could see the hesitation in his eyebrows. She had a gentle smile on her face. She looked handsome and looked like a young man carved from the same mold as Luo Yanqing. The corners of her lips were slightly curved: "Just say it straight, Mom, be careful." listen."

Hearing this, Ming Ting no longer hesitated: "I don't want to consider my personal feelings too early. Can you stop trying to match me?"

“It seems you have misunderstood.”

Jiang Li smiled and said: "The little girl from the Jiang family wants to date you. This matter is just her own idea and has nothing to do with your mother, me or the Jiang family."

…”

Ming Ting was stunned.

"Of course, I know what the little girl from the Jiang family is thinking. She has come to our house more than once, intending to become boyfriend and girlfriend through me, but I explicitly rejected her."

There was a smile on Jiang Li's lips: "But in order to prevent her from being too embarrassed, I kept my words and told her that if you are willing to date her, then as your mother, I will have no objection."

“I misunderstood Mom.”

Ming Ting was annoyed and said apologetically: "Mom, I'm sorry!"

He thought that the two families were planning to get married, so he asked Xingxing to express his feelings to him.

“Don’t worry, your dad and I will not interfere too much in your marriage, you should be able to tell this.

For example, your eldest brother, second brother, and your third sister's marriage is their own preference. Your father and I will ultimately control it. We will never impose our personal wishes on you and make you and yourself dislike it. Get along with people for a lifetime.

Of course, when you are looking for your partner, you have to keep your eyes peeled and find a girl with a good tutor and good character. Otherwise, don’t blame me and your dad for fighting each other. "

After listening to what Jiang Li said, Ming Ting replied decisively: "Even if I stay single, I will never bring someone with questionable character to our home."

The atmosphere in their family is harmonious, and there is no room for spoilers to disrupt it!

“It’s good that you have some confidence in your own mind.”

Jiang Li smiled and chatted with her son about family matters. She was mostly talking. Ming Ting listened carefully and occasionally responded to her with a sentence or two.

The atmosphere between mother and son is very warm.

“Uncle Feng and his family went to visit Uncle Mo?”

When Jiang Li mentioned that Feng Yi's family went to Mo Yan's house, Ming Ting couldn't help but be startled. When Jiang Li nodded, he said, "I have been busy with work in the past few years, and Uncle Mo and I have never met each other."

“You can come over and sit there when you have time. We all live in Beicheng, so it’s convenient for us to move around each other!”

 Mo Yan is recognized by Jiang Li as his younger brother. Although it is just a word of mouth, when several children in Jiang Li's family see Mo Yan, they all call him "Uncle Mo".

Over the years, both Mingrui Minghan and Mingwei, the triplets, and Ron have all respected Mo Yan as their uncle.

And Mo Yan also truly loves these people.

Furthermore, with the passage of time, Mo Yan has already turned his strange affection for Jiang Li into family affection.

However, he is still unmarried.

But six years ago, I adopted a boy who was an orphan of a martyr. Now, the boy is 13 years old and is a very sunny and handsome little tough guy.

Mo Jia.

Study.

"Are you really planning to live like this for the rest of your life?" Feng Yiting couldn't understand why Mo Yan, a good brother, had clearly lost all the love between men and women for his sister, so why was he still adamant about being single now?

Yes, the good brother adopted a son six years ago, and the family has a hired Aunt Ma to cook, wash and take care of the child, but this is no better than having a caring wife by his side.

However, for several years, his persuasion had no effect.

Feng Yi sighed inwardly at this.

“I don’t think there is anything bad about my life now.”

Mo Yan looked indifferent and said: "Xiaofan is smart, sensible and good at studying. I don't need to worry about anything in my daily life. Aunt Ma keeps the house clean and tidy and has good cooking skills. What do you think I need to worry about?" of?"

Aunt Ma, whose name is Ma Lanhua, is now in her early fifties and has a daughter. The man died in the line of duty many years ago and worked as a nanny to raise her daughter.

Six years ago, Aunt Ma returned to her old job after stopping being a nanny for several years in order to reduce the burden on her daughter's family. She happened to be introduced by an acquaintance to work at Mo Yan's house, and she has been working there for six years.

Because he is clean and attentive, and he is good to the children, Mo Yan pays Aunt Ma a high salary, which makes Aunt Ma have a good impression of Mo Yan as the owner.

I am becoming more dedicated in taking care of my home and taking care of my children.

“Aren’t you mentally empty and lonely?”

Feng Yi suddenly asked this question.

Hearing this, Mo Yan was startled at first, and then said with a smile: "How old are we? Do we have time to think about things? Besides, my energy is basically spent on work, and there is not much left. , I still have a son to discipline, but I don’t have your free time.”

Feng Yi's facial expression froze, then he twitched his lips and said, "Okay, you are great, I have a lot of tricks. But you have never thought about having a child of your own?"

“Xiaofan is my child.”

Mo Yan responded.

"But you didn't change Xiaofan's surname. His surname is still Jiang."

Feng Yi frowned.

The full name of Mo Yan's adopted son is Jiang Fan. His parents were both orphans. The two met in the orphanage. When they grew up, Jiang Fan's father became a soldier who defended the family and the country. His mother was a primary school teacher. Jiang Fan was born in Not long ago, his father died unexpectedly on a mission. When his mother heard the bad news, she couldn't bear the blow and gave birth prematurely. After giving birth to Jiang Fan with difficulty, she suffered a massive hemorrhage and died.

Jiang Fan was sent to live in an orphanage.

Maybe he and Mo Yan are destined. Jiang Fan was not adopted until he was seven years old. When Mo Yan showed up at the orphanage, he saw Jiang Fan at first glance. After learning about the information about Jiang Fan entering the orphanage, Mo Yan Without any hesitation, he decided to take Xiao Jiang Fan home and promised Xiao Jiang Fan not to change his surname.

Heroes should not be forgotten, Mo Yan respects heroes, and Xiao Jiang Fan pleads.

Hence, when going through the adoption procedures for little Jiang Fan, the director of the orphanage testified and promised that little Jiang Fan would not need to take his surname Mo.

Perhaps this is the reason why little Jiang Fan was not adopted until he was seven years old!

But Mo Yan really doesn’t mind.

“No matter Xiaofan’s surname is Jiang or Mo, he is still my son.”

Mo Yan looked at Feng Yi meaningfully: "You are also a person with a higher education, and like Xiaofan's biological father, you are a soldier who protects your family and country. You must not have any feudal thoughts."

The continuation of the bloodline is important, but it is not absolute, and he does not care about this.

After all, death is like a lamp going out. No matter how much we care, is it necessary?

Besides, helping the hero raise his children is something worth doing for him!

As for whether he would raise a white-eyed wolf, he had not thought about it, but he believed that the hero's child, a child who could plead with him to keep his biological father's surname, would not go astray while growing up.

At the same time, he also believed that under his guidance, his son Jiang Fan would become an upright man!

Feng Yi coughed twice uncomfortably and glared at Mo Yan: "Am I talking to you about feudal superstition?"

"Okay, I know you are thinking about my future, but you really don't need to worry. Now the country is developing rapidly. In the future, I will be old and frail, and Xiaofan will not be around. Isn't it convenient and uncomfortable for me to live in a nursing home? Comfortable?"

Mo Yan smiled and said: "Besides, with Ruirui and his brothers and sisters, as well as your children and daughters, won't they be so heartless that they don't care about me, the old man?"

“Let me see who dares?!”

Feng Yi looked solemn: "If anyone in my family dares to ignore your uncle, I, as my father, will sever ties with him or her! Ruirui and the others dare to ignore your uncle, do you think our sister will spare them lightly?"

Mo Yan laughed out loud: "Do you have no confidence in your own children and our nephew? Anyway, I have great confidence in the children. They all have good minds. When the day comes when I need them to support me in old age, these children are absolutely eye-catching." He didn’t bat an eyelid and took good care of me.”

Touching his nose, Feng Yi said: "That's right. Regardless of what happens to the two in my family, the children raised by my sister are the best. It is difficult for me to find faults in them. Friendship, respect for elders, You are motivated and have no bad intentions. I admire my sister from the bottom of my heart for raising children with good academics and good conduct!"

“Well, sister is amazing!”

Mo Yan nodded, agreeing with what Feng Yi said.

There was silence in the study for a moment, and Feng Yi said: "Ms. Fang's cancer has returned and she wants to see me one last time."

…”

Mo Yan was startled for a moment, then he said, "Then go and see him, don't leave any regrets to yourself."

Feng Yi: "My sister said the same thing."

Mo Yan: "Sister, aren't you going?"

Feng Yi nodded: "I was abandoned when I was born. If it were me, I would make the same decision as my sister!"

“You really think so?”

Mo Yan didn’t believe what Feng Yi said.

"Brother, our trust is not that low, right?" Feng Yi looked at Mo Yan with a bit of resentment in his eyes. He said, "My sister was born to Ms. Fang early, and she was diagnosed by the doctor as being congenitally frail. I want to It was not easy to make a living, but Ms. Fang knew what the doctor said, but she didn't care about the relationship between mother and daughter. She threw the child who was less than one day old in the trash can in the toilet of the health center. It can be seen that what she wanted was for this child to die early.

Thanks to my sister's good fortune, she was picked up by my aunt and she was raised as my own daughter, so I became what I am today.

In other words, it was my aunt and Uncle Jiang who gave my sister a second life. My sister does not recognize Ms. Feng, but only recognizes her aunt as my mother. This is reasonable and reasonable. I understand that she does not want to have anything to do with Ms. Fang. "

“You seem to be a really sensible person.”

Mo Yan raised the corner of his lips and smiled, and then his expression returned to normal: "Tell me about you, how many years have passed, have you still not let go of those things in your early years?"

“I stopped hating her a long time ago. To be honest, it’s very boring, but if you ask me to put the name ‘Mom’ on my lips, I can’t say it.”

Feng Yi said: "I have never felt maternal love from her. Let's put it this way, to this day, she still doesn't have any love for me as a mother does for her children... I know her, and in her heart, no one is better than her." She is more important. As long as she can live a good life, nothing else matters.

Otherwise, she would not have just thrown away my sister after giving birth to her, would not have neglected to take care of me after giving birth to me, and allowed my father’s children from his ex-wife to bully me... and would have committed perjury and sent me to the farm to help her. The stepson took the blame...

I have no resentment or hatred towards her now, but I won’t lie to you, there is almost no love between mother and child in my heart. "

“I am also a stepmother, but my sister does a better job than Aunt Feng.”

Mo Yan said: "You treat your stepchildren as your own, but you don't feel wronged by the children you gave birth to. They treat them equally, impartially, and cultivate them into talents. I think Ruirui and Hanhan Weiwei must feel that they have a sister like this in their hearts." The stepmother is very happy!”

Feng Yi: "Does this need to be said? It is not difficult to see from the degree of respect they have for my sister."

In his opinion, some biological mothers may not be able to treat their stepchildren the way his sister does.

For example, just his mother!



People's Hospital.

This is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it’s about half past 10 noon.

Feng Yi brought his wife and a pair of children to visit Fang Su.

Speaking of which, Fang Su's cancer recurred about half a month ago. She was found fainted in the living room by her nanny. She immediately called the emergency number and contacted Feng Wei, Feng's eldest son.

Feng Wei handled the hospitalization procedures, and Feng Wei did this out of consideration for his stepmother Fang Su's contribution to the Feng family and their brothers and sisters, or because he wanted to do a good job with Jiang Li and Feng Yi, without each other. It is estimated that only Feng Wei knows this.

Fang Su asked Feng Wei to call Fang Yi to contact Feng Yi. When Feng Wei asked Fang Su if he wanted to contact Jiang Li, Fang Su did not reply.

Unsure of what Fang Su was thinking, Feng Wei did not call Jiang Li.

After he completed the hospitalization procedures, he hired a nurse to take care of Fang Su.

From the perspective of a stepson, Feng Wei has naturally done enough benevolence and righteousness.

Feng Kai and Feng Xiao learned about Fang Su's situation. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they proposed to share the hospitalization and medical expenses, as well as the expenses for hiring nurses, with their eldest brother Feng Wei.

Knowing that he was living the best life among the three brothers, Feng Wei did not share the expenses and only charged a small portion of the fees from Feng Kai and Feng Xiao.

At this time, Feng Yi's family appeared in Fang Su's ward and happened to see the three brothers Feng and Wei.

"Hello, everyone."

Feng Yi said a faint hello.

Out of politeness, his wife and children said hello to the three brothers Feng and Wei, but stood aside without saying a word.

“Xiao Yi, are you here?!”

Fang Su has spent a lot of time sleeping in the past two days. Now she slowly opened her eyes and saw Feng Yi standing beside the hospital bed. It can be said that she felt mixed emotions in her heart.

The three brothers Feng and Wei knew that Fang Su must have something to say to Feng Yi, so the three of them took the initiative to leave the ward and wait in the corridor.

“Mom is glad you could come.”

Fang Su was weak and extremely thin. She smiled at Feng Yi and said, "It was my fault before. I shouldn't have ignored you and watched you suffer at home."

“Does this make sense now?”

Feng Yi said expressionlessly: "However, you can rest assured that I no longer have any resentment towards you."

Fang Su: "I know...I know you must be thinking that a mother like me is not worthy of your resentment, Xiaoyi, I admit that I was selfish in those years. In order not to be gossiped about, and said that I treated my stepchildren harshly,

Thus, I ignored you. I was too proud of myself and wanted to get in front of your father. I just wronged you, and even... was cruel to the point of slandering you. You took the blame for your fourth brother and was sent to the farm for rehabilitation. "

“Are you confessing to me?”

Feng Yi's tone was full of sarcasm: "No need to, after all, everything is over."

What did you do earlier? Watching him being bullied by his stepchildren since childhood, watching him with tears in his eyes and feeling extremely wronged, what was she doing when she needed comfort and protection from her mother?

Ignore it!

Completely ignore his existence!

Even if he reaches out for a hug, what awaits him is cold eyes, disgust, and a "Shut up"!

After many times, the little boy became silent. No matter how wronged he was, he tried not to shed tears.

Because no one pitied him, let alone coaxed him!

He is like a superfluous member of the family, how ridiculous!

If you think he is right, why should you give birth to him?

“Repent? No, no, mom just feels sorry for you!”

Fang Su shook his head.

“Are you just sorry for me?”

Feng Yi's eyes were calm and calm as he said: "My sister was abandoned by you when she was born. Many years later, you learned that my sister was still alive. You didn't know that you were wrong at all. Instead, you wanted to have a relationship with my sister. You gave me a lot." Causing distress.

As for me, you could actually choose not to have a baby, but you did give birth to me anyway. What’s the result? She was born, but she didn't care, she just wanted to be a good stepmother.

If that's all, I can't figure out why you slander me and watch me being sent to the farm. Did you never have a son like me in your heart? "

When asked by Feng Yi, Fang Su didn't know how to answer: "..."

No one knows better than her that she really doesn’t care about her son.

"No, right? You don't have me as a son in your heart, so naturally you won't have any maternal love for me. Looking back, I think the luckiest thing in my life was meeting my sister, who helped me when I needed help the most. At that time, it was my sister who appeared and made me feel warm.

We were still strangers at that time, but my sister helped me out of kindness. In the following years, she helped me even more.

Here, as far as I met my sister, I actually have to thank you, thank you for giving birth to my sister. Otherwise, how could I get this only warmth? ! "

Feng Yi's tone had no ups and downs. After hearing what he said, Fang Su was filled with shame: "I accept your accusation, and I don't want to defend myself... In the years since you left home, I am very happy to know that you are living a good life outside. I know that I am not a competent mother. I want you to come over just because I want to see you again...

As for the matter between your sister and me, I don’t regret what I did back then... I had a big belly, and when I learned that my man left me and went abroad, I felt like the sky was about to fall.

I will not keep the child in my belly if there is even the slightest possibility, because I hate the man who abandons me! It turned out that the month was too old and there was no way to remove her, and my emotional ups and downs were too great, which led to premature birth... If she was healthy, I might not throw it away directly, but the doctor diagnosed her as not only being born with a weak body, but also having to feed her is difficult, so the prerequisite is careful care. Keep…

I had no choice. Since I couldn't protect myself and she was in such a situation, I had to choose to do that. "

Fang Su was indeed as she said at this moment. There was no hint of guilt or self-blame in her eyes. She paused and continued: "After so many years, I learned that she was the child I gave birth to. I want to recognize her. She is With my own selfish motives, she didn't give me the chance to do so.

She has not recognized me these years, and I have no thoughts in my heart. Just like she once said, when I abandoned her, the mother-daughter relationship between me and her was severed.

Based on this, she and I owe each other nothing. If you think she is good to you, just treat her well..."

“You don’t need to say this.”

Feng Yi replied to the other party.

Fang Su didn't feel contradicted. She looked at Feng Yi and said: "Actually, from the time I knew I was pregnant with you to the time I gave birth to you, my mother was happy and loved you... Unexpectedly, after you were born, your father disappeared. A trace of joy, I didn’t even look at you when I got home, I was hurt by his attitude invisibly, and started to transfer my resentment towards him to you..."

Feng Yi didn't want to hear the other person continue talking, so he interrupted: "You don't need to say more, I'm here now, just because whether I admit it or not, you gave birth to me, you are my mother. I will be responsible for you The hospital expenses and medical expenses are enough to satisfy the mother-son bond between you and me!"

Withdrawing his gaze from Fang Su, Feng Yi said to his wife and two children: "Let's go, you go to the car and wait."

Without looking at Fang Su again, Feng Yi and his family walked out of the ward.

Fang Su wanted to sit up, but he didn't have the strength.

Feng Yi heard her voice and stopped at the door of the ward. He turned around and said, "You take good care of yourself. I will come over again before leaving Beicheng."

The sound fell, the ward door was opened, Feng Yi and his family walked out, and the ward door was closed again.

Watching his wife and two children walk away, Feng Yi took out a thick brown paper bag from his coat pocket. He walked to Feng Wei and handed it to him: "Here are 20,000 yuan. Keep it."

"What do you mean?"

Feng Wei did not answer.

“If my mother’s hospitalization expenses and the expenses for hiring a caregiver are not enough, tell me the amount, and I will make up for it later.”

Feng Yi said calmly: "Also, thank you for what you did for my mother."

“You have to be so clear about it?”

Feng Wei's expression was complicated: "We, as brothers and sisters, were sorry for you in the early years, but so much time has passed. Do you want to hold grudges against us for the rest of your life?"

"You are overthinking. I am not crying with a grudge. I am just fulfilling my responsibility as the Son of Man."

Feng Yi's face showed no signs of emotion: "Take it, it's not easy for everyone. Since my mother has a son like me, her affairs are naturally my business, and you don't have to spend money."

"A stepson is also a son. Besides, Aunt Feng has taken care of us for many years. It is right for us brothers to show some filial piety."

Feng Wei still refused to accept it.

“I’ll leave it to you, I have something else to do, so I’ll take the first step.”

Placing the brown paper bag in his hand at Feng Wei's feet, Feng Yi straightened up and walked away before Feng Wei could react.
