5. Bad Dad Is Not a Bad Guy (5)
Qiao Panpan's mother is Qi Ya, an embroidery girl. She has a gentle temperament and a beautiful appearance. Although she is already in her thirties, her gentle smile is more attractive than those young girls in their twenties.
It is precisely because of this beauty that some people covet her after her husband never comes back.
Qi Ya is weak, but this weakness turns into strong-willedness when faced with people who want to take advantage of her. She is unwilling to marry her second wife at her death. Later, there is a fire at home and Qi Ya becomes seriously ill. Once, when he needed medical expenses to save his life, he refused to let go.
Then, she resolutely sold the house and used the remaining money to live with her daughter.
After paying Qiao Panpan's tuition fees, the money was just enough to cover Qi Ya's medical expenses. Her daughter was still young and she was the only relative. No matter how much she didn't want to drag her down, she still had to grit her teeth and hold on.
Qi Ya was ill and couldn't work, but her real money-making craft was embroidery, so she sat on her bed every day and sold her embroidery, which was considered a household income.
The doctor said that she didn't have much time left. She was just relying on medicine and could leave at any time. Qi Ya didn't care. Her daughter was an adult and she had the ability to make money to support herself. She could leave with peace of mind.
It's just that I was unwilling to not see that man before he died.
Qi Ya is smart, but naive.
She can easily see through the second wife's seemingly reliable but actually evil thoughts, but she can also trust her husband's words.
If he said he would come back, he would definitely come back.
The woman slowly drank the soup from the spoon. After the warm soup entered her stomach, she frowned slightly, raised her eyes, and asked softly, "Panpan, where did these come from?"
"I went on a business trip with the general manager today. When I came back, he treated me to a treat and asked me to pack it and bring it to you."
Qiao Panpan cleverly concealed the fact that she had not eaten for a day. Seeing that her mother was still a little confused, she quickly told her what she had seen today.
"I heard that our general manager donates money to orphans every year, saying it is for the sake of his wife and daughter. He is really a very good, very good person, and he takes special care of me. He also said that he would compensate me for my business trip today. Double salary!”
While Qiao Panpan was peeling the apple skillfully, she said to the stunned Qi Ya, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing..." Qi Ya came to her senses when her daughter called her. She forced a smile and said softly, "Before you left, your father also said he would bring me red roses."
Qiao Panpan paused her hands, her expression was not as high-spirited as before, and she said somewhat dullly, "Mom, please don't think about him. Although the transportation was not convenient at that time, it was not that he would not come back after so many years. He was just... …”
She wanted to say that he just didn't want them anymore, but looking at her mother's sad eyes, she swallowed the rest of her words.
"Anyway, wouldn't the two of us live quite well without him? The company I'm working for now has a high salary and good treatment. When I graduate, I'll try to come back and I'll be able to save enough money to buy a house soon!"
"Okay, mom is waiting for us to buy a house." Buying a house in this city is not as easy as Qiao Panpan said. But in response to her daughter's whimsical fantasy, Qi Ya agreed with a gentle smile, her beautiful eyes full of trust.
Thinking that life would get better and better in the future, Qiao Panpan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, handed the peeled apple to her mother, and went out to throw away the garbage.
Seeing her daughter's cheerful figure leave, Qi Ya looked at the apple in her hand with a satisfied smile.
My daughter is filial and excellent, which is what makes her most satisfied.
But how sad it would be for such a good daughter to be left alone in this world...
It would be great if Cheng Qing was still here, eh...
Qiao Panpan carried the garbage bag and threw it into the large trash can at the end of the corridor. A middle-aged nurse walked towards her. When she saw her, she smiled and said hello, "Panpan comes to see mom again?"
"Yes, my mother is troubling you."
"It should be."
This nurse, whose surname is also Zhang, is the head nurse of the hospital. She also has a daughter at home who is the same age as Qiao Panpan. She is very fond of Qiao Panpan who looks well-behaved and sensible and works part-time to pay for her mother’s medical expenses. Qi Ya was not less impressed by her when she was hospitalized. of care.
She walked to the nurse's station with the empty medicine bottle in her hand. When she reached the door, she heard the crisp voice of a young nurse inside.
"The particularly good-looking woman who lives in No. 208 is in a very miserable situation. Her husband ran away and she raised her daughter by herself. But now she is sick again and she relies on her daughter to take care of her. You said..."
As she was talking, another nurse opposite who was listening attentively to the gossip looked at Nurse Zhang who was standing outside the door with a gloomy face, stiffened and coughed.
The little nurse who spread the gossip also sensed something and turned around quickly, and sure enough she saw Head Nurse Zhang looking at her with a dark face.
"Are you here for internship or gossip? If I hear you spreading these rumors again, don't ask me to sign your signature on the internship appraisal!"
The young nurse was young, and when she spoke in a stern tone, tears suddenly rolled down her eyes. Seeing her like this, Head Nurse Zhang lost her temper a little, "Be careful next time."
After saying that, she placed the empty medicine bottles and went out to inspect the ward.
Little did he know that as soon as she left, the little nurse pursed her lips and shed tears, "Why are you so arrogant! Old woman, I was right, that woman in 208 was abandoned!"
The other nurse next to her looked a little tangled, wanting to persuade but not knowing how, and finally said, "Maybe they really separated. My dad said that at that time, some people really would never see each other again in their lives."
"Come on, I think she was abandoned. So what if she is pretty? No one wants her! The head nurse talked to her so well, she will definitely be abandoned in the future!" She was upset because she was scolded just now, and now she tried even harder to belittle the two.
As soon as she finished speaking, several young nurses pushed the door in and looked at her with a strange look, obviously hearing what she said.
But everyone was an intern, so it was better to have less trouble than more, so they just pretended not to hear it.
In the ward, Qi Ya frowned slightly while holding Qiao Panpan's coat, "Why is there a hole on it?"
"Ah, this?" Qiao Panpan was spreading the quilt on the recliner, and answered casually, "I was scratched by the door when I went to eat, so it's broken. I'll sew it up later."
"Your clothes are missing a corner, how can you sew it?" Qi Ya picked up the sewing box and cloth next to her, chose a similar color, and whispered, "Let me mend it for you."
She was skillful and used to doing this. When the two of them were about to go to bed, it had been mended. The place where the big hole was originally torn could no longer be seen at this moment, and even the traces of sewing were replaced by a beautiful morning glory.
Qiao Panpan held the coat and praised it, "Mom, you made it look much better than before, it's amazing!"
Seeing her daughter satisfied, Qi Ya showed a gentle smile and said softly, "Give it to me next time when the clothes are torn."
"Okay! Thank you, Mom!"
The next day, Qiao Panpan happily put on the coat and went to the company, and it really attracted everyone's attention soon.
"It's so beautiful, Panpan. It wasn't like this yesterday!"
Several women surrounded her and exclaimed, "This flower is so beautiful and lifelike, it's amazing."
Qiao Panpan smiled with a little pride. No matter how mature she was, she couldn't help but feel happy when she heard her mother being praised: "This was embroidered by my mother. She is very good."
"Your mother is so good..."
Wei Mingyan walked over with his slender legs. Seeing several people talking and laughing around Qiao Panpan, he showed a gentle smile on his face, "What are you talking about? You look so happy."
While teasing, his eyes were fixed on the beautiful morning glory.
