"Why does she not allow me to get married? Haven't I paid enough for her?" Between the two buildings, Rong Bamei was sitting on the cool chair, feeling out of breath and feeling sad instead.

Qi Nuliang held the fan and chased away the mosquitoes, while listening to her complaining, he didn't know how to comfort her.

"If it weren't for her, I would never have lived like this in my life. That girl has never worried me about anything since she was a child, but only angered me. Why am I so unlucky to have such a..."

"Bamei, it's fine if you tell me this, don't let Xiaodie hear it."

"So what, she's been such a heartless person since she was a child. Forget it when she was a child, but now she's eleven or twelve years old, she should know something."

Seeing Bamei Rong getting angry more and more, Qi Nuliang had no choice but to pat her on the shoulder, remembering what Jiang Yu said just now.

"She has only you since she was a child. Children are sensitive, and it's normal if they can't accept it for a while. Let's take it slowly. After a long time, she will know."

"Being a parent is something you owe."

"You just love to be in a hurry, and these things can't be rushed."

Qi Nuliang casually said a few words of persuasion, but Bamei Rong also listened.She leaned against Qi Nuliang's arms, closed her eyes, and the tone in her heart finally eased.

In so many years, except for Xiaodie's biological father, it was the first time that she trusted a man so much.

Xiaodie's father, that bastard, was the first man she met when she first fell in love.She was too young at that time, and she couldn't be blamed for not knowing people well.Qi Nuliang was the passion she had rekindled after she had experienced so much and was already disheartened by men.

The more men I know, the more I know that such a responsible and affectionate man as Qi Nuliang is rare.Even if the person he loves is not her, as long as they are together, he will treat her well and her daughter well because of that responsibility.Being with such a person, putting her and her daughter's future in his hands, Bamei Rong felt at ease.

There was a light cough behind him, and the two snuggled up hurriedly separated.

Jiang Yu came out from the darkness: "I just went to see Rong Xiaodie, the door was locked from the outside, she said she couldn't open it, and the key was not with her."

"I'm here." Rong Bamei was a little embarrassed, and brushed her hair, "I'll let her reflect at home."

"Xiao Yu, why don't you persuade her, between you children, she might listen to you." Qi Nuliang suggested.

"Okay, give me the key, and I will persuade her."

Bamei Rong gave him the key and complained to Qi Nuliang: "Whenever that girl can be one-tenth as sensible as Jiang Yu, I will be satisfied."

Jiang Yu took the key and opened the outer lock for Rong Xiaodie.

When he went in, the little girl was still crying.Just now she made a fuss in front of Qi Nuliang, Jiang Yu could tell that her tears were fake, but the tears at this time, sad and sad, were real.

"Why are you still crying?" Jiang Yu handed her a tissue.

Rong Xiaodie took it, blew her nose hard, and choked up: "I...my mother, she hit me." She turned her face sideways, and showed Jiang Yu the half of her face that had just been slapped, the finger marks were still there His face was bright red.

"Didn't your mother beat you often?"

"She never hit me because of someone else."

"I've said it all, she's married, her time and energy have been taken away, she's not as patient with you as before." Jiang Yuduo tore two pieces of paper for her.

Maybe she just got slapped in the face. When she heard Jiang Yu's words, the corner of her mouth twitched: "I've told you that it's useless to object. My mother won't listen to me... woo..."

"Of course it's useless to do this alone, listen to me..." Jiang Yu approached Rong Xiaodie's ear and whispered a few words.

The little girl was taken aback for a moment, and even forgot to cry.

"I really want to do this?"

"Do you want to separate the two of them?" Jiang Yu looked into Rong Xiaodie's eyes, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything, you just do as I say."

"But……"

"What else are you worried about?"

"It's nothing." Rong Xiaodie shook her head, "Brother Jiang Yu, I'll listen to you."

Jiang Yu thought for a moment: "In the future, don't poke people's eyes again."

Rong Xiaodie shrank her neck, knowing that he was talking about Qi Nuliang: "I didn't mean it."

Because of Rong Xiaodie's fuss, Qi Nuliang didn't go to the shop to look for Rong Bamei the next day.The two decided not to meet each other for the next two days, to think about their arguments, and wait for Rong Xiaodie to calm down before chatting with her.

For this kind of thing, Qi Nuliang has no experience, and frowns all day long, unable to think of any clues.

After dinner in the evening, he sat on the sofa and smoked with his head up, and Jiang Yu took another exercise to write.

"Isn't it all over, why is there still summer homework?"

Jiang Yu stopped writing, and turned over the cover to show Qi Nuliang: "I will preview the contents of the first year of high school next semester."

"Oh."

After a while, Qi Nuliang put out the cigarette butt, and sat opposite Jiang Yu: "Stop writing, I have something to ask you."

"En." Jiang Yu put down his pen and looked at Qi Nuliang.

"Tell me, what do little girls like? What should I do to make Rong Xiaodie happy and let her accept me?"

Jiang Yu looked at Qi Nuliang quietly, and asked back, "Brother, can you accept her?"

"What do you mean? Why don't I accept her?"

"It's nothing, I just think you think things are a bit simple. You married Rong Bamei, and you are Rong Xiaodie's father. Have you ever thought about how to be a father?"

Qi Nuliang touched his head: "I..."

"Rong Xiaodie is no longer a neighbor's girl, but your daughter. Can you really accept her as your daughter?"

Qi Nuliang was completely speechless, he really hadn't thought about these questions yet.

He smoked another cigarette and lit it: "There are so many twists and turns, no one is a father right away."

"But others watch their wives conceive and give birth, and they have made sufficient psychological preparations to raise the child slowly from a milk baby. How do you deal with a teenage daughter suddenly given to you?" Jiang Yu asked again without interruption, "Half-way couples like you and Bamei Rong each have their own biases, and it's hard not to have conflicts when the economy is limited."

"..."

"I'm not opposed to anything, these are some practical issues. For example, if I have to go to high school, I still have to make up lessons. Will Bamei Rong be willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to take cram schools for me? Rong Xiaodie's grades are so poor, She is not even willing to spend money to send her to make up lessons."

"This...these are trivial matters and can be discussed."

"It's negotiable. What I mean is, you should go and discuss these small matters with Bamei Rong first, and then talk about the big matter of marriage."

What Jiang Yu said seemed to make sense, but Qi Nuliang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

Originally, he only had one question, and he hoped to get some clues after discussing it with Jiang Yu.As a result, before the discussion was over, the problems popped up one after another, which made his head ache.

"Where did you learn all this?" Qi Nuliang was smoking a cigarette more and more depressed.

"No need to learn. Brother, if you have time to listen to the gossip of Mrs. Wang next door, you will know."

Qi Nuliang was amused by these words: "I'm not so free..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside, followed by a vigorous knock on the door, and Bamei Rong's urgent voice: "Old Qi, Lao Qi, open the door..."

Qi Nuliang opened the door, Bamei Rong jumped on him, but luckily he caught her quickly with his sharp eyes and hands.

"What's the matter?"

"Xiao, Xiaodie, she, she..."

"Don't worry, speak slowly, what's wrong with Xiaodie?"

"She ran away from home..." Rong Bamei was so anxious that she was overwhelmed with anger, and went up to the fourth floor in one breath, almost out of breath, "That damn girl... girl, you must piss me off..."

"Why did you run away from home? Where did she go?" Qi Nuliang patted Bamei Rong on the back, turned to Jiang Yu and said, "Go get a glass of water."

Panting for breath, Bamei Rong pressed a note into Qi Nuliang's hand.

Qi Nuliang opened it and saw the little girl's crooked notes——

Mom, you can live with Uncle Qi from now on, no one wants me anyway, I'm leaving, don't look for me.

Qi Nuliang's heart sank, this little girl is really not worrying.Looking at Bamei Rong who was sweating profusely, she somewhat understood her complaints about her daughter before.

Bamei Rong drank half a glass of water, calmed down, and said anxiously: "Old Qi, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, it's useless to be anxious. When did she leave?"

"I don't know. At noon I was still angry with me at home. After eating, I went to the store and just came home. As soon as I entered the house, no one was there, and then I saw this. After so long, I don't I know where she's gone, this night, a little girl is outside..." Speaking of this, Rong Bamei broke down and cried, "She used to quarrel with me to get angry, and she never ran away from home. .”

"Don't cry, think about where she might have gone?"

"How do I know."

"Her friends, classmates? Neighbors who have a good relationship with you?"

"I don't know who she's close to, and I don't have any good neighbors... God damn it, where did this damn girl go?"

Seeing Rong Bamei's question and answering questions, Qi Nuliang looked at Jiang Yu, who also shook his head.

"Don't worry, let's go find them separately, and we will find them soon." Qi Nuliang ordered Rong Bamei, "You go to Rong Xiaodie's teacher and ask her if she has a good relationship at school. Classmates. Get their class phone numbers from the teacher and call them one by one to ask, is she always looking for a place to sleep this late at night?

"Jiang Yu, you go to the police station at the alley to report the case, and ask the police to help, it will be much faster.

"I asked my gang of brothers to send people to guard the station and the intersection out of the city to prevent the little girl from being abducted. As long as she is still in Hongcheng, she can be found anywhere."

Qi Nuliang patted Bamei Rong on the back: "Go, hurry up."

Bamei Rong glanced at Qi Nuliang with tears in her eyes, and wiped her face: "Thank you."

"Xiaoyu, after you go to the police station, go to Bamei's house and wait in case Xiaodie comes back by herself. If there is news, let's call."
