177. Behind the Name (2/4)

PS: Please give me a monthly ticket, the ranking has dropped.

It was raining outside, and it was getting heavier and heavier.

An autumn rain and a cold, and the temperature began to slide down faster.

Zhang Tan also came to the corridor and asked Xiao Qian’s father: “How did you come from?”

"I came by a taxi." Xiao Qian's father said.

"We have to go to the intersection here, and it's not easy to take a taxi on rainy days. Please wait a moment, I'll drive you back."

A few minutes later, the car drove into the traffic, and the children's voices came from the back row.

Zhang Tan drove them home, and Jiang Bin followed him, and at this moment he whispered and whispered to Xiao Qian in the back row.

Xiao Qian's mother also sat in the back seat, and Xiao Qian's father was sitting in the passenger seat.

Their house is not far from Xiaohongma, and it takes less than ten minutes to drive. It is a rented house and an old community.

It's 9 o'clock in the evening, and Xiao Qian's father invited Zhang Tan to sit at home. Before Zhang Tan could speak, Jiang Bin looked up at him hopefully, making him unable to refuse.

"Drink some water, the house is a little mess."

Xiao Qian's mother handed Zhang Tan water. Jiang Bin had already gotten into the room with Xiao Qian. The two children muttered that Xiao Qian wanted to share with him various little secrets in the bedroom.

Zhang Tan looked at this home. It was two bedrooms and one living room, about 60 square meters. The furniture was old, but it was clean and tidy, and the layout was very warm. The most eye-catching were the various photos on the walls. They were all from a family of three, and the young couple surrounded a baby.

Some babies were crying, some were crawling around on the ground, some were holding their mother's hands and gnawing, some were shocked when they saw the giraffe, some were sitting on the bed and laughing, some were sleeping with rag dolls, some were hugging their father's legs and not allowed to go to work...

Then the baby grows up day by day, can walk, use chopsticks, runs in the park, carry a small schoolbag to school, draw by yourself, and performs singing and dancing in public...

Zhang Tan also saw a photo of Xiaohongma's late-night academy. The baby's eyes were filled with tears, and he stood pitifully at the door of Xiaohongma's academy, stood at attention, and then took this photo.

This little baby is Xiao Qian.

These photos on the wall fully record the important nodes of Xiao Qian from her swagger to her present.

Xiao Qian's father said: "I like taking photos and I have to record all the beauty around me, but my skills are very bad, haha."

Zhang Tan said with a smile: "This technology is not bad. The photos that are really thoughtful are often taken casually in life. How many of the photography works that won the grand prize are specially constructed? They all seize a certain moment in life. For a family, these are the best moments in life. I am particularly envious of the fact that I have no money to exchange for."

Xiao Qian's father was stunned and happy: "You have been too rewarded, but the most important thing is that I like these photos very much. No matter how tired I am at work, when I see them at home, I will be wiped out with my fatigue."

Zhang Tan looked at the photos carefully and said, "So, I envy you very much. Although the house is rented, my wife and children are there, that is a home. Is this... a B-ultrasound photo? I am so dedicated, it is all preserved."

This is a black and white photo. Looking at the graphics, it should be a scan of the ultrasound.

There is also a red drum in this photo, the kind that children like to shake.

With a ticking sound, Xiao Qian's father turned on the spotlights on the wall, and immediately took the photos to a very clear view.

He leaned closer, looked at the ultrasound photo, and said, "Yes, this is a ultrasound photo. Our first child is not Xiao Qian."

Zhang Tan was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "It's not Xiao Qian? That's it?"

Xiao Qian's father smiled bitterly and said, "To be precise, it's Xiao Qian's brother."

Zhang Tan knew that he had asked a stupid question.

Seeing this, Xiao Qian's father smiled and said, "It's okay. After many years, we have already come out. That was 7 years ago. My wife and I just arrived in Pujiang and accidentally had this child. At that time, we were young and ignorant. My wife was too tired from work and overloaded. As a result, the fetus stopped and our first child stayed forever in June and 28 days."

Zhang sighed: "It must be very sad, imaginable."

"My wife almost walked out."

He took off the red drum in the photo, wiped the drum surface, and shook it gently twice, and a crisp drum sound rang out.

He smiled and said, "This child is restless when he is in his stomach and often kicks his stomach. My wife said it must be a boy, and he has given him a name and prepared this small drum. Don't he like to kick his stomach? He will beat the small drum hard in the future."

He put the drum back and said, "This child is pitiful and he left before he even arrived in this world. Later, my wife was pregnant with Xiao Qian. We were extremely careful and we were so nervous when we were a little moved. When I was 4 months old, my wife's body was getting bigger and bigger. I was worried and sent her back to her hometown to recuperate. Even so, she was in danger at that time. If she didn't take a step, she might be gone."

He smiled and said to Zhang Tan, "But Ping An was born at least. We all think that it must be her brother who is blessing her, so we gave her her brother's name. Yao Yuexi is her brother's name, and we believe that her brother will protect her forever."

Zhang Tan suddenly realized: "I didn't expect that there was such a story behind it. It was very sad, but also very warm."

"So although Xiao Qian is reluctant to leave Xiao Hongma, there is no way. Her mother is in poor health. I am very worried about her body and fetus. To be safe, it is best to go home to rest. I stayed alone in Pujiang and couldn't take care of Xiao Qian. I should go back to my hometown with me. Her grandparents are all at home, and there are many friends at home. Children will forget these unhappy things in a while."

Zhang sighed and asked: "You can't let go of the matter on Pujiang for the time being?"

"Do you mean I will go back too?" Xiao Qian's father shook his head: "I can let go, but I dare not go back because I can let go. The metropolis of Pujiang is so tempting. Countless people come in and out every day. As long as I leave, the empty space will be filled immediately. Of course, I can find a job at home, but I want to give my wife and children a better life. While I am still young and work hard, I may have no room for imagination in a few years."

...

Before leaving, Zhang Tan gave him a business card and told him that if there was any difficulty in the future, he could call him and he would definitely help.

On the way back to the school, Jiang Bin sat in the back seat without saying a word. Zhang Tan asked him and he didn't answer.

Although this boy is only 8 years old, he already has his own thoughts.

Although the children in the garden were reluctant to part with Xiao Qian, they cried and passed.

But he is different.

Late at night, Jiangbin's father came to pick Jiangbin up and went home.

“Have you done my homework today?”

Jiang Bin packed up his schoolbag silently and whispered: "It's done."

Jiang Bin's father said with relief: "Your class teacher praised you again today, she said you..."

There were a bunch of praise, but Jiang Bin didn't listen to a single word.
Chapter completed!
