"It only hurt in the morning," ah Chou said busily, tugging at the gray protruding sleeve and mending at the same time. "It didn't hurt much."

"Why are you wearing this old coat again?" Zhong Mingwei looked at the sleeve pulled up by ah Chou, and looked at the stain on the front of the coat. He couldn't help puckering. "Why didn't you wear that new coat?"

"I broke a piece of firewood accidentally when I was holding it, and I'll wear it after two days," said ah Chou, with his head down, as he continued the fire into the stove, while he paused and said, "it's better to wear old clothes, not to be afraid of being soiled or damaged."

Zhong Mingwei frowned and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

……

"Girl, does it hurt badly?" After breakfast, the two were tucked in bed. Zhong Mingwei circled ah Chou in his arms and kneaded his stomach for ah Chou across his clothes. In the past, ah Chou would talk a lot because he was embarrassed. But this time, ah Chou was very quiet. He was resting on Zhong Mingwei's arm and nestled in a man's arms. Zhong Mingwei was afraid of it. He leaned over to him Kiss a Chou's forehead, "wait, I'll make ginger and brown sugar tea for you."

"Don't want to drink," ah Chou felt that her eyelids were heavy. She took Zhong Mingwei's hand and put it on her stomach. She wouldn't let him go. At the same time, she pasted it into the man's arms. "Zhong Mingwei, you don't go anywhere. You hold me, I won't hurt."

"Well, hold you," said Zhong Mingwei, who was so busy that he hugged ah Chou even tighter. He rubbed his chin gently on his neck, held ah Chou's shoulder in one hand, and rubbed his stomach in the other. "Girl, if it hurts badly, don't bear it and bite my arm."

"Won't it hurt to bite your arm? Hiss... " Ah Chou couldn't help laughing, but he frowned again suddenly. He rubbed his small face in the palm of the man's hand. He whispered, "Zhong Mingwei, you coax me..."

"I have a stomachache. Look for the old bear. When the old bear is not at home, he looks for three scars. "At present, Zhong Mingwei rubs ah Chou's stomach and sings softly in her ear," three scars sharpen their knives at home, frightening the child. Is it still painful? No pain, stomachache. Look for the old bear. The old bear is not at home... "

In the warm quilt, Zhong Mingwei sang to his little girl again and again, until the little girl fell asleep, Zhong Mingwei was still singing, but the voice was very low, he gently stroked the little girl's hair in front of her forehead, while pecking at ah Chou's sweat forehead.

"Zhong, Zhong Mingwei, I feel so sad..." In her sleep, ah Chou sobbed softly. She curled up, curled up her body like a giant shrimp, covered her mouth with her hands, and the cry fell apart and blurred. Suddenly, she grabbed the back of her hand, and then the tiny and inaudible cry could no longer be heard.

"Girl, girl!" Zhong Mingwei's heart is breaking. He looks at a face with crisscross tears. He wants to wake up ah Chou, but he is reluctant to wake her up. The child who hasn't slept for many days doesn't easily fall asleep at this time. At present, he gently opens ah Chou's mouth, and then plugs his fingers in. His fingertips are full of pain. Zhong Mingwei's heart is full of pain Along with the dull pain, he hugged ah Chou tighter.

……

When Zhong Mingwei found out that ah Chou was wrong, it was in the second half of the night.

Ah Chou has been sleeping on the Kang since afternoon. Zhong Mingwei only said that she was so tired for a few days, so she slept so heavily. At the beginning, she didn't care much. She rubbed her stomach and coaxed her to sleep well. But ah Chou's sleep was too heavy and dead. She slept seven or eight hours, counting the time, At this time, the thin body even began to twitch.

"Girl, girl!" Zhong Mingwei is a little flustered. He gently shakes ah Chou's shoulder, but ah Chou doesn't respond. Zhong Mingwei is completely flustered. He is so busy that he climbs out of the bed and reaches for the Kang to rub. Finally, he touches the candle and the flint. But his fingers are shaking so much that it takes him a long time to light the candle. He is so busy that he comes with the candle and sees ah Chou clearly With pale cheeks and clenched teeth, Zhong Mingwei was completely flustered! Girl! Are you okay? Girl! Look at me! "
