Friday, May 6th.
Early in the morning, when I sent my daughter to kindergarten, Chen Song took me straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
When he came out, Chen Song waved the small red book in his hand and said: Wife, from now on, you are the rightful Mrs. Chen! And, dear Mrs. Chen, I love you!
I happily took his hand and said: Dear Mr. Chen, I love you too!
After saying that, we looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, Chen Song's mother, that is, my mother-in-law, called, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked us: Is it licensed?
Chen loosened his voice and said happily in a loud voice: "Collar, collar, I will bring my daughter-in-law back to meet you!"
The mother-in-law said over there, well, today we must celebrate, I will go to book a hotel.
I asked Chen Song how he got so grand, and don't forget that we still have to work in the afternoon. He smiled and said, "Of course, I plan to get a certificate with you only once in my life." Today is a good day, and we want to celebrate it. Let's go to the kindergarten and pick up the cocoa.
Well, I can only be by him.
On the way back, looking out the window full of green, I suddenly remembered that it was already summer.
And I, the woman with a baby in the second marriage, married again.
02
When I met Chen Song, it was a summer a year ago, also in May.
It was raining a little late that evening, thinking that my daughter was still in kindergarten, and the teacher had called me several times, hoping that I would pick her up as soon as possible.
So I had to brave the rain, but when I rode my electric car through the rain, I fell down because my vision was a little blurred.
I fell so hard that the car pressed against me, and I managed to remove the car from me, but I couldn't stand up. At that moment, there was unprecedented frustration and despair.
Thinking of me as a single woman, with a child, life is hard enough, I didn't expect to fall like this, tears flowed out without argument. There were no pedestrians on the road, no one saw me, and I couldn't find someone to help me.
After a few minutes, I felt as if there was no rain on my head, and I looked up slowly to see a man holding an umbrella. He held out his hand enthusiastically and said, "Come, I'll help you up."
His voice seemed to be charming, and I obediently put my hand out to him. With his strength, I stood up and found that my right knee really hurt. At first glance, the knee was still oozing blood.
Noticing my actions, the man said: You are injured, I will take you to the hospital. I shook my head and said, no. Because I have my daughter in mind.
The man stubbornly said, no, you will be infected like this.
I laughed at his pretentiousness in my heart, I don't know how many times I have been injured like this when I was a child, and I don't see any infection. What I said on my face, though, thank him for his kindness.
Immediately after, I tried to pick up the electric car, only to find that my left palm was also oozing blood. I hissed.
The man noticed my expression, handed me the umbrella in his hand, motioned for me to hold it, and he came to help me with the car.
The car was picked up, and I wiped a handful of rain from my face and sincerely said thank you to the man, but the man didn't give me the car. He insisted on taking me to the hospital, and I refused.
The man continued to insist, and in the end I had to tell him the truth, my daughter was still in kindergarten waiting for me to pick her up, and I couldn't go to the hospital immediately.
The man thought about it and said that he could drive me to pick up my daughter first and then take me to the hospital. As for my electric car, I found a place to put it on the side of the road.
This stubborn man, let me say what good he is. The first time I met him, he was so nosy. I couldn't stand him and admired him.
In the end, I could only listen to him. Because the phone in my bag rang, my daughter's teacher called again.
This man is Chen Song.
03
That day, Chen Song accompanied me to pick up my daughter and took me to the emergency room of the hospital.
The daughter on the way was curious and asked who the man really was, and I didn't know how to answer. Chen Song was very natural, saying that he was my friend.
The daughter asked happily: Boyfriend?
My face blushed. Taking advantage of the red light, Chen Song turned back to his daughter and asked with a smile: Do you know what boyfriend means?
The daughter said that she knew that the boyfriend was the one who would marry later. The beanie in their class is the boyfriend of the girl, and beanie says that he will marry Little Apple as a wife in the future.
I didn't expect that my daughter, who was just over 4 years old, even knew this. For a while, it was a bit awkward, not to mention me and Chen Song, where is it with where. We had just met, and a few minutes earlier, on our way to my daughter's kindergarten, he had volunteered to tell me his name.
But Chen Song said that my daughter was right. Listening to their big and small chats, I think it's also quite interesting.
When I arrived at the hospital, it was Chen Song who was busy helping me pay the fee and helping me with my child.
Coming out of the hospital, it was already more than 8 o'clock, thinking that this night, I owed Chen Song too much and wanted to invite him to dinner. Chen Song did not refuse. However, he secretly bought the order, which made me feel very embarrassed.
That day, Chen Song sent me and my daughter home, and before leaving, in order to facilitate the transfer of medical expenses to him, I added his WeChat. But my daughter was attached to him and invited him to come to our house next time.
That night, after my daughter returned, she kept asking me about Chen Song, and asked if she could call Chen Song's father in the future?
How can I answer her?
Yes, my daughter has a father, but my ex-husband and I divorced when she was less than a year old.
At that time, we were still in Shenzhen.
I divorced my ex-husband because I suddenly discovered that when I was pregnant, he was disconnected from his ex-girlfriend. Thinking that I was with my ex-husband at that time was really simple.
At that time, shortly after graduating from college, I entered the unit and was cared for by my ex-husband.
Alone in a foreign land, my ex-husband took care of me like a big brother and made me very useful. So after being in love for more than a year, we got married.
In marriage, the passion gradually faded, leaving only chai rice oil and salt, and the differences between us became more and more obvious. He likes to make friends everywhere, good looks, and I like to be quiet. I like to consume conservatively, he likes to consume in advance. Our contradictions are constant.
What I can't accept the most is that he didn't accompany me to the obstetric examination, but accompanied his ex-girlfriend to go shopping. I still found these from his chat history.
04
Of course, I don't want a divorce either. Because my original family wasn't perfect.
My mom died when I was two years old in an accident. After that, my dad pulled me alone to grow up and didn't remarry.
When I was a child, I really wanted to have the love of my mother, and I also envied that others had mothers. So, I think my kids, growing up in a whole family, have a dad and a mom.
Despite my repeated compromises, the ex didn't break off with his ex, who was pregnant. And I was completely heartbroken. I also thought clearly, instead of spending time in such a marriage, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, and it is better for my daughter.
After the divorce, I took the 50,000 yuan I received and returned to the provincial city with my daughter. After my father found out, he felt sorry for me and took the initiative to come and help me with the child. It wasn't until my daughter went to kindergarten and I was able to pick her up myself that he went back to his hometown.
Mainly my dad wasn't used to life in the city, he stayed here, there was no one to chat with him, he was stuffy and stuffy, and I was afraid he was depressed.
From the day I got divorced, I knew I had to be on my own. The ex-husband, because of remarriage, did not even give the daughter's living expenses. I had to work harder to make money, to rent a house, to provide for my daughter's schooling, and to live, I lived as a desperate third wife, tired and happy!
I didn't think about remarrying, I wanted to raise my daughter well. However, I forgot that my daughter was looking forward to her father's company.
Every time I take her out and watch other children have their fathers with me, the envy in her eyes makes me very sad.
This time, she saw a man taking me to the hospital and accompanied her so patiently that she thought I was going to marry Chen Song and that she was going to have a father.
After all, I couldn't bear my daughter's disappointment, and I could only make a perfunctory snort. The daughter was very excited.

I didn't expect that the next day, there would be a surprise
Early in the morning, as I was holding my daughter and limping out of the building, I saw a familiar face. My daughter let go of my hand and ran over happily, calling: Uncle Chen.
Sure enough, it was Chen Song.
I asked him in surprise how he could be here.
Chen Song said that he kept his promise and came to pick up Coco. Oh, I forgot, when we separated the night before, he and my daughter were still hooked, and we are going to meet today.
I'm embarrassed to say, child's words, you still take it seriously, this... This will not delay your work. I'm sorry.
After sending my daughter to kindergarten, Chen Song let me get on the bus, I asked him what he was doing, and I went to take the bus myself. He said he sent me to retrieve my electric car.
I said, really not. He still has to go to work, and I've been delaying him for so long. His stubbornness came up again, and I had to obediently follow him.
Later, one day, after I was with Chen Song, I asked him that he went to look for us that morning, and he didn't think that A woman with children had a husband. He was not afraid that my husband would beat him and cause misunderstandings.
Unexpectedly, he smiled and said: If you have a husband, you were in the hospital that night, so you should also exchange phone calls. You didn't, even when you fell, didn't think about calling for help. Prove that you don't.
I gave him a thumbs up and said he was really discerning.
He said, let me not forget what he did.
Yes, Chen Song is a police officer. That's why he's nosy. Will be on that rainy day, eager to help me.

Originally, I thought that my fate with Chen Song ended here.
Unexpectedly, that night, I had just come out of the kitchen to prepare a dish and prepare for my daughter to eat. But she took my mobile phone and excitedly told me that my mother, mother, and Uncle Chen promised me that they would accompany us to the kindergarten activities tomorrow.
On this day, it has been 5 days since we last saw Chen Song.
I was surprised and asked my daughter how she knew Chen Song's phone number. She said: Uncle Chen told me. He also told me that I could always come to him when I needed his help. Uncle Chen was afraid that I would forget, and he deliberately wrote his number here, saying that his daughter went to the bag to look for her books.
Sure enough, on the last page of the book, in the bottom corner, was a string of numbers.
I suddenly remembered that the last time I sent my daughter, in the end, it was Chen Song who accompanied her to the school gate. I was left in the car by them because of my leg and foot problems.
I didn't want to bother Chen Song. He and I had only known each other for a short time, and they still had their own jobs, so they might have been married a long time ago.
After my daughter slept in the evening, I dialed Chen Song's phone and told him that he didn't have to listen to my daughter, he still had a job, so he wouldn't bother him.
With that, I hung up the phone quickly.
However, I did not expect that the next day Chen Song would wait for us at the entrance of the kindergarten. I was relieved not to see him when I went downstairs. Thinking of him, can understand my refusal.
The daughter was naturally very happy, and rushed over to hug Chen Song happily.
Finally, with my acquiescence, Chen Song accompanied his daughter to participate in kindergarten activities and won the first place. My daughter said that when I used to accompany her, every time it was counted down. He also agreed with Chen Song that he would accompany her in all future activities.
This time, because of Chen Song, I rarely became a mother who could watch the game off the field. Watching Chen Song take his daughter to break through the pass, they cooperate so tacitly, as if they are real father and daughter. For a moment, I was a little moved. Touched, lost.
Because, I was afraid that my daughter would be disappointed.
07
Because of this activity, Chen Song became a regular visitor to our family. Occasionally, on weekends, he would accompany us.
Soon it was autumn and my birthday was coming.
I went to pick up my daughter after work that day, and at the entrance of the kindergarten, I saw Chen Song waiting for me there. I asked him how he was there, and he said mysteriously that I'd know in a moment.
After the daughter came out, Chen let go of the car and said, take us to dinner. When we arrived at the hotel, we found that Chen Song had arranged everything, cake and flowers.
And I also understood that it was my daughter who betrayed me. She became more and more clingy to Chen Song, and her relationship with him was getting better and better. I don't know if that's good or bad.
I decided to confess to Chen Song. After sending us back, the daughter was in the room watching TV.
I told Chen Song about my marriage and told him that I was grateful to him. But he always had a family of his own, and I don't know if he has a girlfriend. If so, it would be bad to have his girlfriend misunderstand... I mean, we can reduce our interactions in the future.
Unexpectedly, after I finished speaking, Chen Song asked me: Have you not thought that in another way, we can be long-lasting?
I don't understand.
Chen Song took my hand and said: Liu Duo, can you be my girlfriend?
My heart was pounding. But I still calmly pulled out my hand and said: Chen Song, you are not married, right?
He nodded.
I smiled bitterly and said: I know that you are good to me and Coco, and I am grateful to you. In this life, I am not going to get married again. You deserve better girls, we don't deserve...
Chen Song was anxious, worthy or not, but it was not what you said. Chen Duo, you don't have to worry, really. On my parents' side, I told them a long time ago, and they didn't object...
I still wanted to object, chen song asked me to listen to him. It turned out that from the day he lifted me up in the rain, he was touched by my strength. He's never married, he doesn't have a girlfriend, he just likes me.
08
In the end, I thought about it for two days and agreed to try it with Chen Song. The happiest is Coco, she immediately called Chen Song's father. Chen Song also happily agreed.
I thought, if it was inappropriate, in case Chen Song's family did not agree, I would quickly withdraw.
Unexpectedly, half a month later, Chen Song took me to see his parents. Chen Song's parents are knowledgeable people at first glance, they like Coco and are very good to me.
Not only did not look down on me, when I left, the red envelope was given 10001. Chen Song's parents also sent Coco two beautiful skirts and a big red envelope of 8888, saying that they had always wanted a granddaughter, and finally got their wish.
This meeting also gave me a reassuring pill.
Because, when there were only two of us that day, Chen Song's mother, that is, my mother-in-law, chatted with me very frankly. Say let me not worry, she married Chen Song and her father is also married for the second time. At that time, she was married for more than 3 years without having children. Her in-laws forced her to divorce, thinking it must be her problem.
After two years of divorce, she met Chen Song's father, my father-in-law. The father-in-law chased after him for two years before catching up with his mother-in-law. Even if his mother-in-law told him that maybe she couldn't give birth, he didn't care.
Even, in order to marry the mother-in-law, the three generations of single-handed father-in-law also played a hunger strike to threaten their parents. In the end, he married his mother-in-law as he wished. Three months later, the mother-in-law became pregnant.
At this time, the mother-in-law understood that it was not her problem. The father-in-law hugged her and cried with joy.
My mother-in-law said that because she had experienced darkness before, she understood my feelings very well.
She reassured me that she and her father-in-law really liked me and my daughter and respected Chen Song's choice.
To be honest, I didn't expect that the first time I came to the door, my mother-in-law would tell me this, and I was really touched.
Originally, she didn't have to tell me about their older generation, but my mother-in-law had no reservations about me. To reassure me, to be reassured.
09
When I was in love with Chen Song for 3 months, my daughter Coco had herpetic angina and had a high fever. I took a leave of absence to take care of her at home, but I couldn't stay up.
After Chen Song's parents knew, they deliberately drove over to pick us up and take us to their home. Say that they have a lot of family, take turns to take care of the children, and share it together.
My daughter burned for four or five days, and during these five days, my in-laws took care of her in addition to taking care of me, and Chen Song also took a day off.
After recovering from this illness, the daughter was very clingy to her in-laws and said that she wanted to live with them. So every Friday night, the in-laws would pick her up at the entrance of the kindergarten.
Because of them, the daughter became more and more lively and cheerful.
Last month, Chen Song and I discussed getting married. The in-laws took the initiative to sell the small three-bedroom they had prepared for Chen Song before and re-bought a 140-square-meter house. What they considered was that my father was alone in his hometown in the countryside, and there was always a time to rely on me. In the future, I will also come to live.
And we got the license yesterday, and today we are going to sign the purchase contract.
What the in-laws meant was that the house wrote me and Chen Song's names.
Yesterday at noon, after we celebrated, my mother-in-law also deliberately asked me to take a leave of absence in the afternoon, and she took me and my daughter to go shopping. My mother-in-law bought us two dresses for each of us.
My mother-in-law knew that when I was a child, I didn't have my mother's love, and she said that she would be my mother in the future and would hurt me well.
As for my wedding with Chen Song, it will be held next month. Although I don't think I need to do it, my mother-in-law said, I don't have to worry about these things, and then I just have to be a beautiful bride. As for the rest, they will all arrange it.
Sometimes, when I think about it, the year I met Chen Song, I lived like a dream.
The in-laws around me, as well as Chen Song, are reminding me that this is not a dream.
I want to say to women who are unmarried and divorced, whenever you are, be hopeful and believe that you can live better. In this way, we will meet happiness!
It just so happens that tomorrow is Mother's Day, and I have quietly prepared a big gift for my mother-in-law, that is, I am pregnant! I think this should be the best gift for our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law this Mother's Day!
