Chapter 233: Mom, They Are So Poor
"Mom, they are so pitiful, two people have to share one French fry."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
An unknown Kaifeng dish. After hearing this conversation, Linzhou and Jiang Xiyue both showed happy smiles on their faces.
The cause of the incident was that Jiang Xiyue ate a French fry, bit half of it and found it tasted bad, so she stuffed it into Linzhou's mouth.
Seeing the child's mother giving them an apologetic smile, Jiang Xiyue stood up, asked for another ice cream, and handed it to the child, "Sister treats you to ice cream. Sharing delicious food with others shows that you care about others."
"Well, thank you, sister. So that's how it is." The child was very cute and spoke in a baby voice. After saying the first sentence, he thought for a long time and then said the second half of the sentence, "So mom often gives dad candy, does that mean she cares about him?"
"Yes, look, your mother brought you out to eat hamburgers and fries. Doesn't she like you too?" Jiang Xiyue reached out and touched the child's head, then looked at the child's mother, " Auntie, I won't bother you anymore."
"Thank you." The child's mother nodded, then looked at Jiang Xiyue, "I'll make a phone call. Can you help me look after the child?"
Of course Jiang Xiyue agreed to this request.
The mother did not walk far away, she just walked to the corner so that her child would not hear the conversation.
But from that position, Linzhou could just hear what the child's mother was saying.
"There is a special medicine, 30,000 yuan per injection, no problem, we still have some savings at home... I'll take the children out to eat something, it's okay for us adults to suffer a little, but we can't let the children suffer with us, right? That would be too irresponsible..."
As she said this, the woman's tears began to flow unconsciously. Linzhou, who happened to be sitting next to her, reached out and grabbed a tissue from the table and passed it to her.
“Don’t let the children see.”
"Thank you." After wiping away her tears, the mother hung up the phone, and the smile instantly returned to her face.
Returning to her seat, Jiang Xiyue handed the child to her mother, then took out a small hairpin from her bag and handed it over, "This is for you. Sister likes you very much."
"But mom said that we can't take things from strangers." Although the child's eyes revealed his love, he still shook his head and firmly rejected Jiang Xiyue's kindness.
As for the ice cream, she really wanted to eat it, so she asked her mother's permission before taking it.
After apologizing to Jiang Xiyue again, the mother packed up the hamburgers and other food on the table for her child and took her outside.
But Linzhou could see that the other party's steps had become much lighter, and that feeling was like the relief he felt after hearing that there was a special medicine.
Women are weak by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers.
When Jiang Xiyue returned to her seat, Linzhou did not talk about what he had just heard, but chose another topic, "Yueyue, I see that you seem to like children very much."
"But she was a little girl, very cute, I couldn't help it."
"Our careers are stable now, do we want one too?" Linzhou looked at Jiang Xiyue seriously with a smile on his face.
Hearing this topic, Jiang Xiyue was rarely shy. She took a sip of ice cola and boldly discussed it, "Well, I also want a little girl. How cute."
"What's the name of that little girl?" Linzhou looked at Jiang Xiyue and asked for her opinion seriously.
Hearing this question, the girl bit the straw and began to think hard.
After a long time, he finally asked.
" Your family doesn't have a generation name, right? If so, just follow the generation name."
"No, even if there is, I have the final say ." Linzhou denied the doubt. It's not a big family, so how could there be such a thing as generation name.
You can tell from his and his sister's names.
It was only when the tip of the straw was covered with teeth marks that Jiang Xiyue thought of a suitable name.
"Call me Lin Mumu."
"It's quite easy to write." Linzhou simply took off the lid of the paper cup, picked it up and took a sip of Coke.
He said it was easy to write because he thought his name was Lin Mumu, which made it very easy to write. He only needed to learn the character "木" (wood) and then write four of them in a row.
For kids, it's quite good.
He had seen adults using uncommon characters to name their children. While the other children had already finished five questions, that child was still writing his name.
"It's easy to write, but Zhou Zhou, don't you want one?"
"No, I'm worried about your health... Let's talk about it later." Linzhou pursed his lips and continued drinking Coke.
It was hard for him to imagine what Jiang Xiyue, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, looked like while pregnant.
After hearing Linzhou's words, the girl continued to bite the straw without saying a word.
But a certain child in the future will have no idea that her parents hastily decided on her name while taking a casual walk during her college years.
Linzhou leaned quietly in the chair without saying a word, thinking about what he had just heard.
There is nothing wrong with hiding your illness from your children, but if the person is dying, you still have to tell your children.
As the only trace a person can leave in the world, children have the right to know about their parents' situation.
Now we can only wish you the best. After all, there is a specific medicine, so the patient can basically be cured.
At least this little girl's childhood was complete...
Jiang Xiyue, who was sitting opposite, noticed that Linzhou was in a daze, so she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes a few times.
"Zhou Zhou, what are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking, if I get an incurable disease in the future, which pit would be most suitable for me to be buried in." Linzhou drank the Coke at the bottom of the cup with a smile on his face, and poured two pieces of ice into his mouth, chewing them with a crunching sound.
Now, Jiang Xiyue became anxious and made the request quickly.
"Stupid Zhou Zhou, say bah bah bah quickly."
"Okay... bah bah bah, now can you tell me which pit to bury it?" Linzhou tilted his head and stood up.
Jiang Xiyue also finished eating. She stood up and took out her lipstick from her bag and carefully reapplied the color. "If you must have an answer, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish. You dare to leave me alone. That's too much."
Hearing this answer, Linzhou was very satisfied and walked out with the girl.
It was completely dark at this time. Jiang Xiyue, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, was blown by the wind and hurriedly rubbed her arms with her hands.
Lin Zhou noticed this and asked softly.
“Well, Yueyue, if it’s cold, let’s go home and put on some clothes before coming out.”
"It's not cold, I was just suddenly blown by the wind and felt a little uncomfortable." The girl shook her head and hugged Linzhou's forearm.
The two of them went to the night market not far away.
While walking on the road, Linzhou asked casually, "By the way, Yueyue, we are full, why are we going to the night market?"
"Do a manicure. Xiaobai is there. I want to do one for you."
