sleepless tonight

Chapter 15 Breast milk is nutritious

The woman came to my house with Xiao Le in her arms. When Chen Ke saw the woman, her little face was filled with displeasure.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I know why you bought delicious food, Dad. It's not for me at all. It's because of this sister, you want to chase after her, so you bought so many delicious meals back." Chen Ke said.

I was a little embarrassed. Although Chen Ke's words were not entirely correct, at least some of them were correct. When I was packing the food, I asked the waiter to add an extra serving of rice, because I thought of women.

"It's impolite, this is auntie, why are you calling me indiscriminately?" I babbled vaguely, and put a piece of beef into Chen Ke's bowl, "Eat more beef, and go to bed after eating."

"I don't want to sleep, I want to watch you." Chen Ke bit the beef and looked at the woman vigilantly, "I have a mother."

"Well, I know." The woman nodded and smiled.

"Don't take what the child says seriously. Her mother and I are divorced." I said, "Hurry up and eat, it won't taste good when it's cold."

"Father, you are so sweet, I want to tell mom." Chen Ke ran to the side with a small bowl.

I smiled wryly, smiled apologetically at the woman, and looked at Chen Ke with his back to me, feeling ashamed in my heart.

In the eyes of the children, the mother is naturally the best, and Tong Wangjun is indeed good, with a good figure, is a white-collar worker, and can cook.

A good woman is not a suitable woman, and a good woman may not necessarily be my woman.

Since Tong Wangjun and I were able to divorce, it must mean that there is something that we cannot get along with.

But Chen Ke doesn't understand these things, and she won't understand them, and I can't explain them to her.

I just hope that after a long time, she can slowly adapt.

After eating, I send the woman out.

"Your leg has been hurt like this. It's been two days and you still haven't recovered. You should go see a doctor." I said.

"It's okay, I bought some medicine." The woman said with a smile, she raised one leg and moved towards her house, "Go and accompany the child, she seems to be still angry."

"It's okay, child's heart, wait for a while." I said, "I'll help you in, if you walk like this, if you irritate the sprained place, it will get worse."

The woman hesitated for a while, and seemed to be worried that the pain would worsen, so she nodded: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, neighbors should help each other." I smiled and walked to the woman.

She put her hand on my shoulder consciously, and moved into the room step by step with strength.

As soon as the door was opened, a child's cry suddenly came from the room.

"Sit down, I'll help you take the baby out." I said to the woman, then went into the room and took the baby out of the crib.

When I was holding the child, I took a special look at it. The corners of the child's eyes were somewhat imaginary with the woman's. This woman still didn't admit that it was her own child. There must be something inside.

However, this matter has nothing to do with me, so it is not good to ask more questions.

After handing over the child to the woman, I turned around and prepared to go back.

"Well... can I trouble you to make a cup of milk powder for me?" The woman said to me with some hesitation.

I looked at her with some doubts: "I see that you have enough milk, what are you doing with milk powder? The child is still young, so you don't need to wean so early, right?"

The woman froze for a moment, then looked at me inexplicably: "Why do I have enough milk?"

"Look down for yourself, your clothes are going to burst, isn't it so hard that you won't feel pain?" I pointed to the woman's chest and said.

The woman lowered her head, with a dazed expression in her eyes, and a bit of shame.

"No wonder your daughter doesn't trust you, so you look at other women like this just after divorce." The woman turned her face immediately, "If you don't want to make milk powder for me, go out, and I will do it myself."

With that said, the woman will stand up by herself.

"Who made you stand out so much? It's hard not to pay attention." I smiled, and said before the woman was about to recall the sentence, "Sit down, and I'll make milk powder for you."

"The milk powder is in the room, and there is hot water in the water dispenser." The woman said, "The milk bottle is in the kitchen."

I nodded, went to get the milk powder first, and then went into the kitchen. I glanced at the rice on the countertop of the kitchen that I brought back to the woman that day.

It didn't move.

And the pots and pans are the same as the ones I saw when I came here, nothing has changed. Looking into the trash can, they are all packed with instant noodles and takeaway.

These days, women rely on this to survive?
There are rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home, but instead of cooking, eating instant noodles and takeaway, is this too lazy?
After taking the baby bottle and washing it with hot water, I said to the woman, "It's not good to eat instant noodles and takeaways often. You are still breastfeeding, and this will affect the baby."

"I don't know how to cook." The woman said, the answer was natural.

"Then why are you buying pots and pans?" I wondered, and only then did I understand why the bag of rice was unopened when I came to the woman's house to borrow rice.

"It's all ready, so you can feel at home." The woman was silent for a while, then said.

"I don't see how many people feel like it." I added milk powder to the bottle, took the water, shook it evenly, and handed it to the woman, "No matter how good milk powder is, it's not as good as breast milk. If you have this condition, you should feed more." Breast milk can increase the immunity of the child."

The woman didn't take the bottle in my hand, but stared at the empty hall with a look of sadness in her eyes.

"Leave it alone." I suddenly felt that I had said something wrong, "I'm leaving first."

The woman still ignored me.

I must have said something wrong.

It's right to think about it, women are taken care of by others, and they have children, but they don't get a status. They are just men's dolls, and they can't see the light. How can they feel at home?

But I still mention this, isn't this adding salt to her wound?

I sighed and looked at the woman.

Such a beautiful woman, why did she want to be a mistress?

However, I suddenly smiled again, isn't it normal for such a beautiful woman to be a mistress?

"Don't eat instant noodles anymore, and you can't eat outside things too often. You can eat with me in the future." When I went out, I said to the woman.

The woman turned to look at me.

I didn't say anything more, and I closed the door and went back to my home.

There was movement in the kitchen, and the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table were also cleaned up. I walked into the kitchen, and Chen Ke was washing the bowls and chopsticks with his sleeves rolled up and a small bench under his feet.

Beside her, Chen Le was biting the baby bottle, and kept tugging at Chen Ke's clothes.

"Take your sister outside, and I'll wash it." I said.

Chen Ke was still washing the dishes and did not reply to my words.

"The water is getting cold, Dad come and wash." I hugged Chen Ke from the stool.

When Chen Ke turned around, I froze, and she actually cried.

"What's the matter? What are you crying for? Is it because your homework is broken and you are worried about being criticized by the teacher?" I wiped away tears for Chen Ke, "Don't worry, I will fix it for you later, and I promise not to be criticized."

"Dad, do you not love your mother anymore?" Chen Ke asked me, sniffling.

"You are still young, why ask these things." I put her down, "Are you still angry with Dad? Didn't I tell you that I have nothing to do with that aunt, just because I went to her house to borrow rice last time, That's why we invited her to our house for dinner."

"But you have already invited her to our house for dinner once." Chen Ke said, "She is so beautiful, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold back, Dad, and you will do something that I'm sorry to Mom."

"Your mother and I are already divorced, A Ke, do you know what divorce means? It means that your mother and I will never be together again." I looked at Chen Ke seriously, hoping she could accept this fact.

"But...but...but that's my mother, don't you want her?" Chen Ke was terrified.

My heart felt an inexplicable pain, and I hugged Chen Ke tightly: "It's not the father who doesn't want the mother, it's the mother who doesn't want the father, do you understand? Don't worry, I will take good care of you and my sister, and my father will always be by your side."

"Father is so good, why doesn't mom want you?" Chen Ke cried, "I want to tell mom not to leave, don't leave dad, dad is fine."

I patted Chen Ke on the back and sighed in my heart, maybe Tong Wangjun and I no longer belong to the same world, the life she wants is not like mine.

How to get her back?
Even though we were once husband and wife, I have no right to stop her happiness.

I took a bath for Chen Le, and I asked Chen Ke to take a bath.

"Father together." Chen Ke said.

"You are a big boy now, I can't be with you, you can wash it yourself, don't burn it." I caught Chen Le who was somersaulting and wanted to escape, put on his clothes, and looked back at Chen Ke , "In the future, it will be the same in school. You can't get in touch with boys, you know?"
