In the morning, Xu Hongtao stood at the door and took out the key to open the door. The keychain made a "clang" and "clang" sound, and he didn't care at all.
This time should be the most lively time in the house. His wife Qin Dan shuttled between the bedroom and the kitchen, asked her daughter to get up, and dress her son again, and also took into account the breakfast in the kitchen.
Xu Hongtao felt that no matter how loud the sound was, it would not alarm the people in the room, and no one might even notice him entering the door. But today he seemed to have been wrong and pushed open the door. It was deserted inside, neither shouting nor the steaming heat of breakfast.
What happened today? While changing his shoes, he thought, could it be that Qin Dan overslept, right? Although this has never happened.
"Dad!" He looked up and saw his nine-year-old daughter Nono standing at the door of the bedroom, already wearing her school uniform.
Xu Hongtao breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously and walked over immediately. "I was shocked. I thought there was no one at home!"
's daughter stared at him and said fiercely: "Do you know how to come back? Do you know that this is the ninth all night this month!"
"What do children know? Adults have something to do with adults!" He perfunctorily treated his daughter, wanting to go into the room to take a look at Qin Dan and his son.
But his daughter pulled his clothes and refused to let him in, "I don't understand, but mom understands! Mom is angry, she takes her brother away!"
"What?" Xu Hongtao was shocked and looked into the room. There was indeed no one. He turned around and walked out.
"Dad! Where are you going? Mom said you would buy me breakfast and then send me to school!"
Hearing his daughter shouted, Xu Hongtao stopped and became angry in his heart: This woman is really too much, what does it mean? Not only do she run away from home, she also threw a child to me! When I catch her back, I will see how I teach her a lesson!
Xu Hongtao impatiently carried his schoolbag onto his daughter's back, took her hand and walked out. I bought two buns on the side of the road for my daughter and drove to school.
That year, Xu Hongtao met Qin Dan at his classmate's wedding. Qin Dan was beautiful and lively at that time, and her unrestrained laughter made Xu Hongtao often unconsciously turn his gaze to her.
Suddenly, the girl appeared in front of him. Xu Hongtao was really shocked. Looking at her brilliant face, he couldn't even say a word.
"Hey! Are you a classmate of the groom?" the girl said with a smile.
"Yeah." Xu Hongtao responded.
"My name is Qin Dan, the bride is my cousin. What is your name?"
"Xu Hongtao!"
"Oh! Xu-Hong-tao! When will you get married? Then please invite my cousin and my cousin and husband to have a wedding banquet, don't forget to bring me with you!"
"What marriage is it? I don't have a girlfriend yet!" Xu Hongtao said embarrassedly.
"Oh, is that right? Then I'll introduce you to a few, they are all beautiful girls!" Qin Dan laughed and said, but turned around, "Let's leave a contact information. If there is a good girl, I can contact you."
This is their first time meeting.
Xu Hongtao kept staring at WeChat after returning home, but there was no information about Qin Dan. Xu Hongtao did not dare to send a message to Qin Dan because he didn't know what to say.
When he was eight years old, his father passed away, and his mother pulled five of them alone. Although my elder brother was already an adult at that time and could help his mother with some financial pressure, his mother was still busy earning money to support the family and had no time to take care of the young Xu Hongtao.
Xu Hongtao grew up by himself. He had never felt the warmth of his family, and he didn't know how to love a girl.
A month later, a classmate called and said that his father-in-law was about to celebrate his birthday. He asked Xu Hongtao, who was working in the city, to help buy two bottles of good wine. Xu Hongtao immediately became energetic. Isn’t the classmate’s father-in-law Qin Dan’s uncle? Then that day, Qin Dan will definitely be there.
Xu Hongtao responded to the buying of wine in one sip and told his classmates that he didn't need to come here to pick it up. He would send it to him that day, it was not far away anyway.
As expected, Xu Hongtao met Qin Dan again. After holding it in for a long time, he asked Qin Dan: "Where is the girl you introduced to me?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Dan, who has always been generous, lowered his head: "What girl? I haven't found it myself yet, I want to leave you for myself!"
"Dad, then I'm going to school!" Nuonuo swallowed his last bite of bun, wiped his oily mouth with a tissue, and muttered.
"Okay!" Xu Hongtao responded and looked into the back seat. Nuonuo got out of the car, but there was still a piece of paper on the seat. "Nono!" While calling his daughter, he reached out to take the paper over. When he opened it, he found that it turned out to be a painting drawn by his daughter.
There is a lake in the distance, and there are three things like the spire of the pagoda. It seems that the painting is West Lake . There was a boat near the lake, with four people sitting on the boat, two adults holding mud in their hands, meaning they were rowing, and two children were laughing.
"Dad, do I draw the West Lake cruise ship elephant? Mom said she especially wanted to go to West Lake to row, so I drew our family of four. My younger brother and I were on the boat, you and my mother were rowing, do you think the drawing was good?"
Nuo Nuo ran back to the car, looking up at his father, smiling on his face, she was waiting for his father's praise.
Xu Hongtao handed the painting to Nuonuo and casually said "The painting is vivid", but he felt thoughtful.
Speaking of the cruise ship in West Lake, Xu Hongtao's mind saw his trip to Hangzhou with Qin Dan. At that time, he and Qin Dan were in love. In spring, they went to Hangzhou for a trip.
actually didn't have much money at that time, so he could only walk around the West Lake. However, the West Lake in spring is indeed beautiful. The lake water is clear and sparkling under the sunshine. The shore is full of pink and green willows, and the birds sing and flowers.
Qin Dan did not quarrel that he would go to any attractions. The two of them were walking by the West Lake, and they were also full of poetry and painting.
Suddenly, Qin Dan stopped. She saw the cruise ship in the West Lake, so she walked to the lake and looked for a while. Xu Hongtao saw the yearning in Qin Dan's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
The two walked forward again and soon saw the ticket office of the cruise ship. Xu Hongtao glanced at it and actually asked for 40 yuan per person. Thinking about the money in his pocket, he walked forward calmly.
Qin Dan followed him, but he still noticed that Qin Dan kept looking back. He knew that Qin Dan really wanted to go to West Lake to row a boat, but... · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·
Now ten years have passed and the money has come. What about the trip to West Lake? Xu Hongtao found that he seemed to have forgotten all this, but unexpectedly, Qin Dan still remembered it!

Watching her daughter jump into the school gate, Xu Hongtao turned the front of the car. Where are you going now? Qin Dan took her son and must have returned to her parents' home. Should she pick her up?
was hesitating to an intersection and stopped at a red light. A convoy passed by, and the leading wedding car was pasted with red wedding words, and the front of the car was also surrounded by flowers, which was beautiful and festive.
Xu Hongtao remembered the day he got married. That was the most beautiful bride. When Qin Dan walked towards him in a white wedding dress, he felt as if he had fallen into colorful clouds and was completely fascinated.
But Qin Dan walked to the wedding car and was stunned because not only did there be no flowers on it, but there was not even the word "happy". Qin Dan turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of resentment.
Xu Hongtao knew why, because a week ago, they went to the flower shop together and told the owner about the wedding car and the wedding car. But there was nothing today, Qin Dan must be angry.
Xu Hongtao did not go to Cai in the end because he wanted to save the two hundred yuan, but at that time he was a little worried that Qin Dan would not get in the car. If you refuse to get on the bus, it will be troublesome.
Qin Dan seemed to have tears flowing in her eyes, but unexpectedly, she hesitated for a while and still got in the car, and Xu Hongtao breathed a sigh of relief.
On the evening, he told Qin Dan that it was all his fault for this. The car was borrowed by the elder brother. The elder brother forgot to make a lottery and asked Qin Dan to understand. Qin Dan stopped mentioning this matter. Xu Hongtao thought to himself: I will treat you well in the future and make up for my current debt!
for ten years, but ········

Xu Hongtao returned home, and today's bedroom was not as messy as usual. He opened the cabinet door and lost some of Qin Dan and his son Duoduo's clothes. A shot of Qin Dan tidying up his clothes in the early morning appeared in his mind, and even tears hanging from the corners of her eyes were seen.
yes, it must be like this. If she hadn't waited until the early morning, she wouldn't have known that she had not returned overnight; if she hadn't decided to leave and pack her clothes in the early morning, it wouldn't have been so neat, which was a sign of plenty of time.
Xu Hongtao was a little surprised. In this empty room, he seemed to be able to feel his wife's feelings. She was so sad and even a little desperate at that time, and he had never felt it before.
To be honest, after marrying Qin Dan home, Xu Hongtao felt like he had completed his task. Who said that a poor boy could not marry a wife, he married him, and he was also a beautiful and obedient wife.
Not long after getting married, Qin Dan became pregnant, Xu Hongtao went out to work, and when he returned home, his daughter was almost born, and then his son was born.
Over the years, Xu Hongtao has been living a very comfortable life outside. At first, he always thought, I am making money, don’t I want to support my family? Of course, you have to be outside.
Later, he started a small business and his financial conditions were better, but he still didn't have home and would play with his brothers if he had time. Because of what? Because the family was too noisy, the two children kept arguing, and I don’t know what they were arguing.
Xu Hongtao couldn't understand them. He always asked Qin Dan when the children were arguing, "What are they quarreling?" Qin Dan would always squat down, ask this and that, and then say a few words in a low voice, and the two children were happy again.
"Pediatrics!" Every time this time, Xu Hongtao always snorted coldly.
Xu Hongtao always wonders, how can a man behaves in the affairs of these children at home? Men have their own fun. However, since he became obsessed with playing cards and lost some money, Qin Dan, who had never quarreled with him, actually lost his temper.
Qin Dan said that she had always understood him and knew how hard he worked for money outside, but he could not stay in the family like this, regardless of the children or their wife, and now he still never returns all night because of playing cards. If he doesn't change, he won't be able to live this life anymore.
Xu Hongtao was really scared at the time. He had never seen Qin Dan so excited. He said that he would never play cards again, and he took a piece of paper on the table and wrote a "guarantee letter" on it, ensuring that he would stay at home except for work in the future and accompany his wife and children.

Xu Hongtao looked up and saw his "guarantee letter" clamping the head of the bed. He walked over and took it down, and found that the opposite was his daughter's Chinese test paper, with 99 points. This kid did a good job in the exam!
Both children are really very good, smart and cute, and they are polite and polite at a young age. All this has nothing to do with themselves. The time they spend with them every day may not even have ten minutes except eating.
has only been done for half a month since he wrote the guarantee letter. Half a month later, he couldn't stand the call of a child, so he went out again. At first he wanted to just have a meal, so he came back, but after the meal, everyone was going to sing, so he followed.
It was already one o'clock when he came back. Qin Dan was already asleep. He didn't say anything the next day, so he started running out again. Thinking about it now, Qin Dan’s failure to speak was not a tacit consent to him, but just wanted him to admit his mistake.
But what did he do? He recovered from his overnight stay that he had been away for more than fifteen days a month.Xu Hongtao looked around the bedroom again and found that the small room was particularly empty at this time, and a feeling of desolation that he had never felt before came to his heart.
Yes, although he doesn't seem lonely playing cards and drinking with those buddies every day, Xu Hongtao knew that his confidence in speaking loudly was not because he had a group of good buddies, but because he knew that there was a gentle woman waiting for him at home.
Xu Hongtao jumped up, and he suddenly realized that he owed his wife too much to this family. If he did not correct his mistakes, he would lose everything. In that case, how should he live in the rest of his life?
Xu Hongtao went out and he wanted to take Qin Dan and his son back. He would tell Qin Dan that he would definitely follow the words in the "Guarantee Letter" and would not go out every day except work.
Xu Hongtao rushed to his mother-in-law's house, but did not find Qin Dan. His mother-in-law said that Qin Dan had never returned. Xu Hongtao was really anxious. Qin Dan was gone, but he couldn't tell his mother-in-law, for fear that she would be anxious.
Leaving his mother-in-law's house, Xu Hongtao called his classmate, and the classmate really knew that his wife, Qin Dan's cousin, accompanied Qin Dan to the hospital because many of his sons were sick and hospitalized.

Xu Hongtao hurried to the hospital, asked the nurse about the ward number and looked for it. The door of the ward was closed. He was about to push the door and go in, but he heard a sound of talking inside.
"You really don't tell Xu Hongtao?"
"Is it useful to tell him? I waited overnight last night, and not only did he not come back, but his phone couldn't get through. If I came to the hospital early, Duoduo might not have to be hospitalized."
"Oh, I really don't know what you liked Xu Hongtao. This person doesn't take you seriously! He only cared about himself when he got married. At that time, you just got pregnant with Nuonuo and suddenly saw that we were scared. You were also scared, right?"
"Yes, I was pregnant for the first time and I was really scared."
"But that Xu Hongtao was fine, he ignored him. His family took you to the hospital, but he didn't care; the doctor asked you to do so. You were in bed to protect your baby. You were in bed for three months, and he didn't care. When he came back, Nono was about to be born, right? "
" Yes, I was so painful during that time. I really hoped he could accompany me. Alas, forget it, all these have passed. I originally wanted to start my own business and don't have to work outside the country, so he could be with me. Unexpectedly, I thought wrong again. "
"You, you were so romantic before. After following this man, your romantic temperament is gone!"
"What else can you talk about romance? You can't even let him stay at home. When Duoduo's illness is cured, I have to think carefully about what to do in the future. He really disappointed me!"
Unconsciously, Xu Hongtao's eyes at the door were wet. Fragments of memories poured into his mind. He loved Qin Dan, but he really couldn't think of what he had done for Qin Dan over the years. After marrying her home in a daze, he took everything she had given for granted.
Xu Hongtao turned around and ran outward.

Back in front of the ward again, he knocked on the door. When the door was opened, he raised a bouquet of red roses and blocked his face.
A pair of slender hands hesitated to take the bouquet. Xu Hongtao saw Qin Dan's slightly pale face with a hint of surprise.
"Wife, I was wrong! I never thought you would feel it, and I will never be like that again!" Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Xu Hongtao was going to hug his wife
"Dad, I want a gift too!" Unexpectedly, the son on the bed spoke, and it turned out that the little guy had woken up.
"Yes! Dad bought a gift for Duoduo too!" Xu Hongtao picked up a big box from the door. He opened the box and tinkered for a while, then walked to Qin Dan, who was sitting by the bed, and pressed the remote control in his hand.
A remote-controlled plane flew up from the box and flew towards Qin Dan and his son. There was a small bag hanging on the plane, flying in front of Qin Dan, and Qin Dan reached out to take off the bag.
Xu Hongtao gave the remote control to his son, and Duoduo jumped up from the bed with joy. Xu Hongtao's eyes became a little wet again. Really, he had never bought toys for his children, and he had never played with his children. This father was really dereliction of duty.
When he looked at his son happy, Qin Dan also laughed. Xu Hongtao took a small bag from Qin Dan's hand, took out a small box from it, opened it and sent it to Qin Dan - it was a small diamond ring.
put the ring on Qin Dan. Xu Hongtao hugged his wife tightly in his arms. He could feel the slight shaking of Qin Dan's body. Qin Dan must have been in tears at this time. How long has it been? It's been a long time since he held his wife like this, and he can't remember it.
Xu Hongtao thought: After that, we must protect this family well, make our wife happy, and make our children happy. From now on, he will use his own actions to realize this wish.
