5. A scumbag is not a scumbag (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 all costs. 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 die without seeing that man.
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 a pretty good life without him? The company I'm working for now has a high salary and good treatment. When I graduate, 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 Qi Ya agreed to her daughter's whimsical fantasy 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 corners 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 arrived at 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 nonsense again, don't ask me to sign for you 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 confused. She wanted to persuade her but didn't know how to persuade her. Finally, she said, "Maybe they are really scattered. My dad said that at that time, there would be people who would never see each other again." noodle."
"Come on, I think she was just abandoned. No matter how good-looking she is, it's not because no one wants her! The head nurse chatted with her so well, she will definitely be abandoned in the future!" She was unhappy after being scolded just now. , at this moment, he was working hard to belittle the two of them.
As soon as she finished speaking, several equally young nurses opened the door and came in. They all looked at her with strange expressions, apparently having heard what she said.
But we are all interns, so if there is more to say, it is better to say less. Just pretend that you don’t hear anything.
In the ward here, Qi Ya held Qiao Panpan's coat and frowned slightly, "Why is there a hole in it?"
"Ah, this?" Qiao Panpan was laying a quilt on the recliner and replied casually, "I let the door get scratched when I went to eat. If it's broken, it's broken. I'll sew it up again later."
"How can you sew if your fabric is missing a corner?" Qi Ya picked up the sewing box and fabric next to her, chose one with a similar color, and whispered, "I'll make it up for you."
She was very handy and was used to doing this. By the time the two of them were about to go to sleep, she had already patched it up. The place where there was a big hole could no longer be seen. Even the traces of sewing together were covered by a beautiful flower. of morning glories instead.
Qiao Panpan held the coat and praised it profusely, "Mom, when you do this, it looks much better than before. It's really amazing!"
Seeing that her daughter was satisfied, Qi Ya showed a gentle smile and said softly, "Give me the clothes next time if they are torn."
"Okay! Thank you, mom!"
The next day, Qiao Panpan happily put on her coat and went to the company. As expected, she quickly attracted everyone's attention.
"It's so beautiful, Panpan, it didn't look like this yesterday!"
Several women gathered around her and marveled, "This flower is so beautiful and expressive, it's just amazing."
Qiao Panpan pursed her lips and smiled a little proudly. No matter how mature she was, she couldn't help but feel happy when she heard her mother being praised: "My mother embroidered this for me. She is very good."
"Your mother is so amazing..."
Wei Mingyan walked over with slender legs and saw several people chatting and laughing around Qiao Panpan. A gentle smile appeared on his face, "What are you talking about? You are so happy."
While he was teasing, his eyes were fixed on the beautiful morning glory.
