Biquge www.mtlnovel.com, the fastest update will not be disappointing, the latest chapter will not be disappointed!
The speed of the train has slowed down and I am about to enter the station. I got up and sorted my luggage. Crowds of praise broke out in the crowd around our compartment, from time to time someone squeezed here from other cars.
I looked at the focus of the crowd. A little child, wearing teddy bear overalls, was blinking with big grey eyes and calmly looking at the adults around him.
“When did the Qin Dynasty unify the whole country?” the young man sitting across from us asked “Chinese Encyclopedia Children’s History Volume”.
“221 BC.” Nongsheng milky answer, a serious look can not help but endure. The young man plucked out another chocolate and stuffed it into the small pocket on his chest. The small pocket with little capacity can’t fit anymore.
“Then you can recite the Six Kingdoms destroyed by Qin in turn?” asked a girl next to him who looked like a college student.
“Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, Qi.” He answered without thinking, and there was another burst of laughter around him.
“It’s difficult for you, and I gave you the whole package of chocolates, uncle.” Another middle-aged man in his forties who was wearing glasses was so excited that he blinked cunningly at him, “Come out of which of these six countries The year was destroyed.”
The two large gray eyes turned bones and looked at me. I smiled and nodded, carrying the big bag on my back.
“The first 230 years, destroy Han. The first 229 years, destroy Zhao. The first 225 years, destroy Wei. The first 223 years, destroy Chu. The first 222 years, destroy Yan. The first 221 years, destroy Qi.”
“Oh, what a god!” The young man opened the book, slammed his thigh, and shouted loudly.
The middle-aged man took the book from the young man, looked at it in disbelief, and asked doubtfully: “Is this kid really only three years old?”
The boy returned the book to me and I smiled and stuffed it in my bag. This intellectual game is started by this guy. He saw such a small child holding the “Encyclopedia of China”, although it was a children’s edition, it was also a thick one. He was tested on chocolate as a prize, and so many people gathered.
“It’s said that the mixed-race child is clever, this child looks beautiful, and his IQ is still so high. Sister, you and your husband are really blessed.” The female college student’s eyes burst into a red heart. Along the way, she always likes to help me hug him, touch his soft maroon curly hair and pointed chin, and keep saying that it is a pity that she had been born for 20 years.
The train has stopped and the broadcast is registered at the station. I smiled and hugged his little body: “Xiao Shi, we are here, goodbye with my uncles and aunts.”
He raised the big bag of chocolate in his hand and said politely to the middle-aged man: “Thank you uncle.”
His voice was crisp, and two cute smiles appeared on his small face, and then nodded at everyone: “Aunt and uncle, goodbye.”
We got out of the car in praise and goodbye.
Set foot in my hometown, I narrowed my eyes and looked around. How many years have I not been home? The last time in my memory was the winter vacation of the year I studied for three years. For a while, the memory quickly reversed, as if I saw my parents sending me to the train, and told me to be careful. From the time I went to Beijing to go to university, every time I leave, my parents have to send me personally…
“Mom, I came down and walked by myself.” Instantly pulled back to reality, Xiaoshi’s small hand touched my face, and said crisply, “You are carrying a bag, heavy.”
This kid! There was a warm current in my heart, put him down, took his little hand, and walked towards the exit. “Xiao Shi, remember what your mother told you, what do you want to call when you see your mother’s father and mother later?”
“know.”
Of course I know Xiaoshi will not forget. As long as he told him once, he would not forget. I’m just nervous myself. I saw them as soon as I left the station, standing outside the railing and looking forward to it, just like every time I went home.
“Dad, Mom…” The voice choked, looking at the deeper wrinkles and gray hair on the forehead of the parents. Over the years, they have grown too old.
“Xiao Qing, it’s been five years, you haven’t come back in five years…” Mom held me, her voice trembling, and Dad just silently took the big bag from me.
“I’m sorry, my unfilial daughter is back…” Tears burst open and cried as she hugged her mother. Dad turned his face and secretly wiped his eyes.
“Mom, don’t cry.”
The corner of the clothes was pulled, and I let go of my mother and saw Xiao Shi staring at me with wide eyes. Sucking his nose, he picked up Xiaoshi. He kissed my eyes, and the soft tongue licked the tears away. Every time I cry, he will comfort me like this.
Holding his warm little body, I sniffed my nose and introduced with a smile: “Mom and dad, this is what I said on the phone, the one to bring back.”
“Grandpa and grandma, my name is Luo Xiaoshi, and I am three years old this year.” The little man in his arms came up with the best trick. Every time he made me angry and heard such a cute and mischievous voice, he would be soft-hearted and could not bear to curse again.
“This…” Mom and Dad opened their mouths and their eyes widened. “Xiao Qing, this is…”
“This is my son, your grandson. Sorry, I didn’t speak on the phone because it was difficult to make it clear in three words.”
“You… when did you have a child? Who was born with?” Dad gasped and looked up behind me.
“Dad, don’t worry.” Knowing that he was looking for another man, a little funny, he extended his left hand in front of them with a ring on his ring finger.
“I’m not pregnant before marriage, I’m already married. It’s just that I don’t have any communication equipment in my place. I can’t notify you, and I can’t bring your son-in-law to meet you.”
I smiled slightly: “Let’s go home and say it for a long time. But my parents can rest assured that I will tell you all the ins and outs.”
“Grandpa, hug Xiaoshi.”
Dad was startled and watched Xiaoshi stretch out his fleshy little arm to him. Xiaoshi is never timid, and every time he wants to please someone, he always looks good. Twinkling light gray eyes, revealing a lovely smile and a pair of little obvious teeth. The most rigorous director Li from the research base to the aunt Sweeper were all taken by his invincible electric eyes and innocent smiles, which simply spoiled him to heaven.
Dad hesitated to reach out and took Xiaoshi. At the moment he touched Xiaoshi’s body, Dad’s serious face kept softening instantly…
It took five hours to explain me from the first crossing to the last one. Thirteen-year-old love roots secretly, twenty-four-year-old love is not enough, thirty-five-year-old has experienced hardship. Every bit and every bit of him is engraved in my mind, just like a book that never fades, it is taken out every night and turned carefully.
Speaking of the fact that we broke up at the same age because of our helplessness, my mother started crying for me. Speaking of humiliating rites in front of people, Lu Guang’s forced marriage, father also glared. Speaking of the famine experienced by Gu Zang and the helpless breakup after pregnancy, my parents have already softened, and I feel terrible for my son-in-law who has never met him.
“Xiao Qing, you called us three years ago. Did you just come back?”
I nodded. I remembered my stomach, and called my parents in the research room to report safety. For two years in ancient times, my parents could only ask for information from Teacher Ji. Teacher Ji told them that I was very good, because they could not contact them because of the confidentiality of their work. So when I called my parents again two years later, they were almost crazy.
“Why didn’t you tell us that at that time?” Mom was anxious and began to wipe her tears again. “You raised your child alone for three years, why didn’t you let your parents help you?”
“Mom, I’m sorry.” I looked at Xiao Shi leaning in my dad’s arms and sighed. For three years, I just called my parents on a regular basis and compiled some work lies to make them think that I was still working on a highly confidential job, but I never mentioned Xiaoshi.
A calm voice told them: “Because I don’t want to worry you. Xiaoshi, since he was born, he has leukemia.”
Back in modern times, I was checked that all indicators exceeded the standard and the number of white blood cells was 200% higher than the highest normal value. Although it has not reached the value of people with severe leukemia, it can be treated with drugs. But I was pregnant with my child, and taking medicine would damage the fetus, so I refused to take any medicine.
The research base is very interested in the children in my stomach, so the children spanning thousands of years have great significance. They invited the best hematology experts, obstetrics and gynecology experts, genetics experts, nutrition experts, and children’s education experts in the country to use the best medical and technical power regardless of cost. I didn’t want my children to be treated as research objects, but I needed them to give birth to children, so I stayed at the research base.
Xiaoshi was born by shaving. God knows how much effort I and the experts spent to give birth to this child. When the nurse handed the crumpled child to me and smiled and told me it was a boy, I wept. Mumbling into the void: Rosh, me and the child, both survived…
The newly born Xiao Shi often cries and has a fever. I was so anxious that I couldn’t sleep. After an expert diagnosis, I got a bad news: Xiaoshi was born with leukemia!
As if being heavily boxed, my mind went blank. The child has absorbed the radiation in my stomach, and has suffered again when traveling back to modern times. How to eat such a small body? I shivered and begged all experts, no matter what the cost, I must cure my child!
The best treatment is bone marrow transplantation. But the whole country could not find a bone marrow that matched Xiao Shi, so I asked to test myself. The conclusion is: my bone marrow matches with Xiaoshi successfully. I sighed. However, Xiaoshi is too young to undergo a bone marrow transplant. And I have leukemia myself, and I have to lower it to the standard line before I can perform surgery.
Thinking back staring at these three years of anxious and painful experiences, I didn’t know how I got through it. Looking at the distressed expressions of my parents, I dared not tell them that Xiaoshi and I spent the first two years in bed and were competing with medicine every day.
Xiaoshi’s extraordinary IQ showed up early. He started speaking in six months, and his memory and learning ability are superb. It was only because of his weak foundation that he would not walk until 15 months. After he can speak, the focus of the research base is no longer to find the experimenter to cross, but to research Xiaoshi.
According to his intellectual development situation, the children’s expert can give him the early education that he can easily complete. By the age of three, more than 5,000 Chinese characters were already spoken. When everyone exclaimed prodigy, I just smiled. His father, when he was seven, not only had to recite 32,000 words a day, but he also understood all these profound Buddhist scriptures. Xiaoshi, hasn’t surpassed his father yet.
Bone marrow transplant surgery was performed when Xiaoshi was two and a half years old. Experts have repeatedly warned me that I am only relying on drugs to lower white blood cells to the standard. Such an operation is very harmful to myself. But I smiled and told them that I am a mother, and I am willing to give everything for the sake of children.
The operation was very successful. Although I often felt dizzy and weak after the operation, I had to take expensive special medicine for many years. However, looking at Xiao Shi’s ruddy complexion, she felt relieved when she became a mother.
These, I hide most of them, do not want my parents to worry about me again.
Xiaoshi has been sitting in his dad’s arms, listening to me obediently, and his pure and innocent eyes are turning round and round. I don’t know how much he can understand at such a small age, but I don’t want to hide him. He should know his special origin. Since he hasn’t started talking, I will let him watch the Roche I painted every day and teach him to call his father.
Xiaoshi is my sustenance for survival, and the bond I miss him. But when I think of the child’s father, in the distant time and space, in a difficult environment, I missed us alone, and my heart was like a colic. I always hope to persuade the research team to let me go through again. However, this weak body has not allowed me to destroy anymore. Moreover, Xiaoshi needs my support. With the persuasion of the director, I finally gave up hopelessly.
Speaking of eight o’clock in the evening, Xiao Shi finally fell asleep in his dad’s arms. Until Xiao Shi fell asleep, Dad was reluctant to let Mom hug him, and Mom could only complain. Dad gently put Xiaoshi on the bed, covered the quilt, and stared at Xiaoshi’s handsome little face. In my memory, Dad has never spoiled me like this.
Xiaoshi’s sleeping face is very cute, his long eyelashes fluctuate slightly with his breath, and the baby’s fat hands and face are screaming, and the delicate skin seems to be able to pinch out of the water. I helped him take off the agate beads hanging around his neck and put them under the pillow. When he woke up the next day, he would find it by himself. It was supposed to be worn on the wrist, he was too young, so I changed it to a necklace and let him hang it every day. He knew that this was left to him by his father, and the baby was terrible.
Dad suddenly asked softly, “This kid, like him?”
“Well, it’s very similar.” I looked at Xiaoshi indulgently, and the clear and clean eyes, the squinted face, the breezy and graceful appearance appeared in front of my eyes.
Light gray eyes, slightly reddish brown hair, sharpened chin, taller than his peers, and super high IQ, are inherited from him. But his face is like me, not as long and narrow as him. My teeth are like me, with a pair of cute little tiger teeth, but when I grow up, I should fade away like me, not so obvious. His skin is fairer and more delicate, and it is also my gene.
“Xiaoqing, what are you going to do in the future?”
“The research team wants to leave Xiao Shi and cultivate him with the most cutting-edge education. But I want Xiao Shi to grow like a normal child. Have a normal childhood and playmates of the same age. I have discussed with Professor Ji and I will Back to school as a lecturer to teach, while reading a doctorate with him.”
The research base is on the remote northwestern Gobi Desert. If Xiaoshi grew up there, he would be in contact with adults who are engaged in scientific research. What is the fun of childhood?
I smiled and told my parents not to worry: “I have a generous bonus, enough to raise money.”
“Old man, let’s go with Xiaoqing. Anyway, we have nothing to do at home after we retire. We help Xiaoqing take the child so that she can study and work with peace of mind.” Mom sniffed her nose and poked her dad with her elbow. Dad caressed Xiao Shi’s face lovingly and nodded.
