Chapter 24: Qing Qing is very cruel (1/2)
Grandma Ding's house, hall.
Granny Ding sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, and Gu Lan sat opposite.
Qingqing was hugged and sat on Granny Ding's knees, her soft body still shaking, so pitiful.
"Good boy, good boy doesn't cry, good boy is the best..."
Granny Ding held Qingqing kindly on her face, and the wrinkled old palms gently patted Qingqing's back on her back, giving her comfort.
After coaxing for a long time, Qingqing finally stopped choking, but her eyes became as red as a rabbit, and the little fleshy hand rubbed his eyes sleepily.
She was tired of crying and wanted to sleep.
"Second Young Master, wait a moment."
Smiling apologetically at Gu Lan, Granny Ding carried Qingqing into the back room without placing her directly on the bed. She only took out a freshly washed quilt from the closet with one hand and carefully wrapped Qingqing. He took the child back to sit in the hall.
At this time, what children need is not a comfortable sleeping position, but a safe environment.
"Aunt Ding didn't ask why my sister became like this?"
Gu Lan seemed to rarely call Qingqing his sister in front of outsiders, and she was still a little dazed when she finished speaking.
"What are you asking?" Granny Ding looked down at Qingqing's tear-stained sleeping face softly, her voice softly: "Zuo, but I've been wronged again, and I have asked too many questions. Missy is not happy. Old lady, I don't have a heart It hurts?"
She is not only Gu's nanny, but also Qingqing's nurse.
After giving birth, the wife refused to breastfeed in order to get back in shape as soon as possible. Qingqing drank milk and was not nutritious. At that time, the little one was as thin as a monkey, and it made people cry every day.
It just so happened that Mother Ding gave birth to her youngest son.
As soon as the child was full moon, he had to come out to be a babysitter because of his livelihood. Seeing the young lady crying pitifully, she secretly fed her together.
This matter was later known by the wife, and Granny Ding thought she would be unhappy, but she did not expect that she would just give her an extra salary and continue to acquiesce that the eldest drank her breast milk.
It can be said that Qingqing was brought up by Granny Ding.
After so many years, she had already treated this child as her own daughter.
Taking care of her diet and daily life, teaching her to read and be sensible, and teaching her the principles of life is almost comparable to her biological parents.
If it wasn't for the wife who didn't like the eldest being too close to her and dismissing her, perhaps the eldest would not be wronged so much later.
At least let her know that there are still people around her who care about her.
It seems that Granny Ding's words
A lot of memories were drawn, and Gu Lan remained silent for a long time before she whispered, "I'm sorry."
He felt that he should apologize because he did not protect his sister.
In front of this elder who loves their brothers and sisters with love, Gu Lan feels at a loss and guilt after a long absence.
"Second Young Master doesn't need to apologize. If you want to apologize, the eldest lady should apologize to you. Her previous attitude towards you... I am not blind to the old lady."
Qingqing is not very good to her brother. This is a fact that all Gu family servants know.
"She doesn't like me, I knew it a long time ago."
Gu Lan's face was a little stiff, but it was not that she couldn't understand her sister's feelings from the bottom of her heart.
When there was only one child in the family, the parents would still pay more or less attention to her.
After all, Gu Qingqing was unique in the family.
But later, he added a younger brother who was not so caring about his parents, and everyone had to blow up this matter.
Although that little care of Gu Lan is not uncommon.
But he can rationally say that if his mother hadn't become pregnant now, he might be more extreme than Gu Qingqing if his mother was more than ten or twenty years earlier, instead of just looking at people as unpleasant.
"Who told you that the lady didn't like you?"
Unexpectedly, Granny Ding who heard Gu Lan's words was a little surprised.
"Isn't it?" Gu Lan raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not. How could the lady who brought her up by the old lady didn't understand her? Although your arrival was an accident for the lady, she never hated you."
Granny Ding still remembered that the eldest lady had begged her to not let her have a second child when she was a child. At that time she was in charge of the big Gu family alone, and naturally she didn’t have the energy to give birth, so she agreed to her wish. .
Unexpectedly, the eldest had just graduated from elementary school, she was notified that she was about to have multiple younger brothers.
At that time, Granny Ding remembered very clearly that although the eldest had been a little disappointed, she had also told her in private that she was looking forward to the arrival of her brother.
"The disappointment of the eldest lady is only for the lady's untrustworthiness, not the second young master, you, before you were born, the eldest lady still thought about how to be a good sister in the future, and make up for the love that she did not give you. on."
"..." Gu Lan didn't know what expression he should put on.
He knew that Aunt Ding had an upright character and never lied, and because of this, he felt even more absurd.
how can that be possible?
"How could Gu Qingqing like me? Doesn't she hate me the most, wishing I was never born?"
maybe
The shock was too great, and Gu Lan unknowingly stated all the psychological words he had suppressed for a long time.
"No hate."
The childish little milk sound suddenly sounded, attracting the attention of the two adults present.
It turned out that Qing Qing woke up from sleep.
She was wrapped in a quilt and was struggling to reach out her small hand at this time, trying to reach Gu Lan's big hand.
