within Temptation

Chapter 38 We Are Family Now

After my careful explanation, my mother finally believed that what I said was true.Joyfully said that it is worth celebrating, and to celebrate Yingying officially becoming a member of our family, she will buy some good dishes tonight and improve the food.

Since my mother is going to settle down with Yingying, the task of going out to buy vegetables naturally falls on me.The old man first told me which vegetables to buy, and then asked me to call my sister's family back to have a family reunion dinner tonight.

At this time, I have to tell the truth.Pulled my mother aside and told her about Grandpa Liangliang being sick and hospitalized.My mother was taken aback and kept complaining why I didn't tell her earlier.When I was asked to go grocery shopping, I stopped by to buy some fruit or something.After dinner, she went to the hospital to visit her in-laws.

So, then I got to the point: I have no money!

After receiving a 100 yuan note from my mother, I went out to the Xishi Street Vegetable Market near my home to buy some vegetables and some fruits.Since my sister's family can't come to take care of patients, my mother ordered some dishes not to buy.

In the evening, my mother and I, together with a newcomer Yingying, officially had their first meal as a family of three.This girl named Yingying doesn't know whether it's because of introverted nature or because of family changes. Ever since I saw her, she has been seldom talking.Only when my mother asked her something, or when my mother helped her with food, did she answer or say thank you in a soft voice.As for me talking to her, she always bowed her head and said nothing, and sometimes she would look for my mother's hand in fear, and then hide behind my mother to hide from me.

These actions of hers only made me feel more pity for this poor girl.I know that after so many years, the relationship between me and her, which I was not very familiar with before, is no different from a stranger now.Her family has undergone great changes, and she is a disabled person, so it is inevitable that she will feel fear and fear of all strange things in her heart.

However, it doesn't matter, I believe that sooner or later, she and I will get acquainted.In any case, she came to my house, and she has been my relatives ever since.I have this obligation and responsibility to do my best to care for her and take care of her.Let her no longer feel sad and lonely, let her face have laughter and happiness again!

Just after dinner, my mother took the fruit I bought to the hospital to visit patients.Since Yingying was inconvenient to travel and was not familiar with the situation at home, my mother asked me to stay with her.

After I cleared the dining table and washed the dishes, I found that Yingying was no longer in the living room.I hurried to my mother's room to have a look, only to see that she was sitting on the bed alone, holding a doll that might be brought by her in her hand, facing the wall with big eyes and expressionless eyes, her body was motionless, she didn't know where she was. Think about something.

Seeing this girl so lonely and desolate, my heart was filled with nameless love.In my memory, she used to be a girl who loved to laugh.I can still vaguely recall the innocent and happy laughter at that time.However, God doesn't know why he treats an innocent girl like this, not only depriving her of her light, but also making her suffer the pain of losing her family and everything.Such pain, a man may not be able to bear it, let alone a weak girl like her?

A person with impaired eyesight usually has more sensitive ears than normal people.As soon as I got to the door, the girl felt it.I saw her hold the doll tightly in her hand, and her body seemed to tense up.

I sighed, walked slowly in front of her and knelt down, and said softly: "Yingying, don't be afraid. From today onwards, we are a family. From now on, we will be your relatives, and we will be like you. Love you and love you like a family member. You will not be alone anymore, and you will not be hurt any more. Forget about those sad things and live happily with us, okay?"

My words seemed to make the girl relax slowly from her tension.Empty eyes turned to me, but not to my face.Looking at it from such a close distance, I can feel the girl's beautiful and exquisite face. If it weren't for the dullness of her eyes, she could really be called the embryo of a future peerless beauty.

But what an important organ the eyes are, if she loses her spirit, she will lose her aura.Lost aura, no matter how beautiful the appearance will be eclipsed immediately.

The girl "listened" to me silently, frowning, as if recalling my childhood in memory.Seeing that she seemed to be no longer afraid of me, I immediately said: "Do you remember? When I was young, you called me Brother Dai Yong."

The girl hesitated for a while, and finally nodded lightly, and said in an inaudible voice: "I remember, you... you still grabbed my braid."

"Really?" I couldn't help laughing. In my impression, it seemed that such a thing had happened.But why, I can't remember exactly.However, this is the first time the girl has spoken to me since she moved into my house, and I can't help but be overjoyed.This shows that the girl has gradually adapted to this place and is willing to communicate with our family members.

With a good start, I naturally couldn't just miss it, so I continued: "When you said that, I also remembered. At that time, you were wearing two small braids, and you were shaking your hair when you walked. Did I think it was fun, so I grabbed it in my hand and played with it?"

The girl didn't seem to think so, she curled her mouth and said, "No, you always bullied me every time I went to your house to play when I was young. My mother... said, you are a bad boy, so I don't want to be with you." Play."

I sweat!
