C426 Why Did You Abandon Me

A light suddenly flashed in Xia Dong's mind. She suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Fu Chenghai. Her voice trembled. "Uncle Fu, is that you? Uncle Fu?"

Fu Chenghai and the old woman froze at the same time.

Xia Dong suddenly stood up and grabbed Fu Chenghai's hands. "Uncle Fu, I'm Xia. Xia Dong, do you still remember me?"

Fu Chenghai's face suddenly turned pale. His hands were at a loss as he pushed Xia Dong's hands away. "This, this, I don't know what you are talking about. . . "

Xia Dong said excitedly, "Uncle Fu, I remember you. You must be Uncle Fu. We used to live in the same courtyard house. You often helped my mother set up a stall. My mother's name is Xia Ling. Do you remember?"

Fu Chenghai stood there dumbstruck. His lips moved and he did not say a word for a long time.

"Uncle Fu, what happened to you?" Xia Dong had already determined that he was Fu Dahai from twenty years ago. Although he looked old now, there was still a shadow of the past between his eyes and brows. Moreover, his actions and demeanor were exactly the same as in the past.

Fu Chenghai stiffly turned his head and looked at the similarly stunned old woman. He sighed deeply in his heart and squeezed out a smile on his face. Pretending to be surprised, he said, "Xia, so it is you. It is really the 18th transformation of a woman. I have not recognized it yet. "

Xia Dong smiled. "Uncle Fu, I didn't expect you to change your name. It's been many years since we last met. Are you living well?"

"Good, good, very good. " Fu Chenghai hurriedly responded, then gave the old woman a look. "Old partner, hurry up and go to the kitchen. It's getting late. "

Xia Dong hurriedly said, "Auntie, let me help you. "

Fu Chenghai stopped her. "No need, no need. Just let your auntie do it. You are a guest today. Sit properly and chat with uncle. "

The old woman picked up the bag containing the dishes and silently walked towards the kitchen.

Xia Dong poured a cup of tea for Fu Chenghai and said, "Uncle Fu, I think Auntie looks very familiar. Did she also live in our alley in the past?"

Cold sweat broke out on Fu Chenghai's forehead. He smiled uneasily and said, "No, I met her after I moved away. "

Xia Dong asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you why you moved away from the courtyard house. Didn't you live well?"

Fu Chenghai looked a little embarrassed and stammered, "Back then, I treated you mother and daughter well and many people gossiped about it. So, I moved away. "

Back then, Xia Ling was abandoned by Xia Zhensheng. She took her daughter and worked hard to set up a snack stall. Fu Chenghai saw that the mother and daughter were pitiful and came to help almost every day. Finally, Xia Ling rented the front door and opened a small restaurant. He closed the repair shop and went to the small restaurant to help her.

At that time, they worked under the same roof and lived in the same courtyard house. It attracted a lot of criticism. Even the young Xia Dong thought that he would become her step-father, but at that time, he suddenly moved out of the courtyard house.

Not long after, Xia Ling's restaurant was smashed. Not long after, she set a fire and burned herself to death in the room.

Since then, Xia Dong had never seen Fu Chenghai again. She never thought that she would see him today.

She had mixed feelings. She was happy and sad because seeing Uncle Fu always made her think of her mother.

Fu Chenghai coughed and interrupted Xia Dong's memory, "Xia, he said. All these years, you. . . How are you?"

Xia Dong smiled. "Pretty good. I am now the mother of the four children. You have seen Yi and the other two siblings. There is also a younger daughter who is only a few months old. "

Fu Chenghai nodded in relief and asked again. "Is your husband good to you?"

The smile in Xia Dong's eyes became even brighter, "Very good. "

Fu Chenghai repeatedly said, "Good. " He was very emotional. "Time passes really quickly. Back then, you were only this tall. " He stretched out his hand and gestured in the air. "Now, you actually have a child too. Sigh, we're also old. "

Xia Dong was also filled with mixed emotions. She was full of doubt. "Uncle Fu, why did you move here?"

Fu Chenghai was stunned for a moment and slowly said, "Back then, your mother passed away. I didn't have a job in the city either. I just moved to the countryside, various lands, and raised chickens. It's not bad to live a peaceful life like this. "

Unknowingly, the two of them chatted for more than half an hour before the old woman called Fu Chenghai's name in the kitchen.

Fu Chenghai smiled and said, "Your aunt has finished preparing the meal. You make it first, and I'll go and help set the bowls and chopsticks. "2

When they were eating, Fu Chenghai warmly asked Leng Xue and her to eat more. He even helped them prepare a bowl of steaming chicken soup.

The chicken soup tasted delicious. After swallowing it, there was a little bit of sweetness between the lips and teeth. If one did not pay attention, they would not feel it at all.

Xia Dong's expression changed because of this.

When she was young, her mother always liked to add some wolfberry and dates to the chicken soup. The taste that was brewed was exactly the same as the chicken soup. Even though she had not drunk it for many years, she still remembered this familiar taste.

Her fingers trembled and the spoon in her hand fell into the bowl. Her heart almost stopped beating. She stared at the old woman's face without blinking. Although she had aged a lot and there was still a scar on her face, there was a slight similarity between her eyebrows and Xia Ling's when she was young.

She widened her eyes in disbelief and opened her mouth slightly. She wanted to say something but her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton and she could not say anything.

"Xia, what happened to you?" Fu Chenghai saw that her face was pale and ugly, and her expression was also very strange. He asked worriedly.

A trace of worry also appeared in the old woman's eyes.

Xia Dong's eyelashes trembled and tears quickly gathered in her eyes. A tear rolled down from her eyes and fell into the bowl of chicken soup. She opened her mouth and cried out heartbreakingly, "Mom. . . "

The old woman's body suddenly froze and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground.

Xia Dong threw herself onto her body and hugged her tightly. She cried out involuntarily, "Mom, you are still alive, right?"

The old woman allowed her to hug her and slowly closed her eyes. Her voice was hoarse. "I am not your mother. You have mistaken me for someone else. "

"No, I haven't mistaken you for someone else. You're my mom, only my mom knows that I like Osmanthus Wine Balls. Only my mother cooks chicken soup with wolfberries and jujubes. . . Mom, don't hide it from me anymore. I am your daughter. How can you hide it from me?" Xia Dong cried so sadly. It was as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered all these years.

Two streams of tears flowed down from the old woman's tightly shut eyes. She shook her head and denied, "I'm not. Your mother is already dead!"

Xia Dong held onto her shoulder and stared at her with teary eyes. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Back then, there was a fire and I did not find your corpse. Don't lie to me anymore! Why? Why don't you admit it, Mom? Do you know how sad I am? Why did you abandon me?"
