"Evelyn, picking up your son from school again?"
"Hey, your son is so cute looking, I have new vegetables in here today, want to buy some?"
Opposite the butcher store Harvey swinging the plate axe is chopping bones, see Evelyn and the little guy, also customary shouted: "Baby, come to Harvey here, the master to cut meat for you to eat!"
Reece : "......" He is going over, or not?
"Harvey, as always, give me some ribs." Evelyn bought the vegetables and smiled as she led Mike to the butcher.
"Okay." Harvey cut a cut of ribs and put it on the electronic scale to weigh it, and deliberately made a face at the little guy, showing that he knew Mike very well.
"Hey, how come baby isn't even smiling when he sees Harvey today?"
Usually when he teases, Mike will definitely look like a small adult and shake his head, pretending to be arrogant.
But today just watch him quietly ......
Reece pursed her lips and shouted sweetly, "Hello Harvey."
"This child is growing up more and more understanding." Harvey habitually praised, the ribs will be loaded and handed to Evelyn: "A total of thirty-two fifty, you give thirty, give the little one a good tonic body, premature birth deficiency, have to follow the day after nutrition ......"
"How can this be, you have a capital to do business, I can't take advantage of you."
Evelyn pulled thirty-two dollars and fifty out of her pocket, not a dime less.
Harvey didn't push back and made a face at the little guy again.
Reece reluctantly returned a smile.
Mike's preference ...... is really a bit of bad taste.
But this old grandpa said Mike was a premature baby?
Well, he was also born prematurely.
Mother and son exited the supermarket and the air instantly became unbearably fresh.
Reece volunteered to carry the groceries for Evelyn, who gave him a bag of vegetables, which wasn't heavy, but he was so small that he almost carried the bag half in his arms.
He said in all innocence and seriousness, "Mommy, the little fat boy in my kindergarten class has a very cute brother who looks especially like him, and I want a brother or older brother so that I can play with him."
Evelyn's long, thin lashes twitched imperceptibly a few times.
A touch of sadness emerges from the bottom of the heart ......
The hand that squeezes Reecey also unconsciously tightens.
"You once had a brother, but he was not as lucky as you to come into the world without any problems ......" When she spoke again, Evelyn's voice was trembling slightly.
The little one immediately followed up with a serious question, "What happened?"
Evelyn recalls falling down that high ladder, like a stream of blood gushing out of her body in a race to be first ......
"It's all in the past, I don't really remember."
"Just think about it ......" the little one pouted.
Suddenly I wonder why he and Mike look so much alike, and if he and Evelyn could be related?
Evelyn eyes involuntarily flooded with moist, vision was blurred ......
She darted slightly sideways to wipe her tears.
The little one's originally curious face froze, and his hands fumbled as he swung his sleeve to help Evelyn wipe her tears.
"Mommy why are you crying, I'm sorry, I'm the one who talked too much and made you cry, don't cry, I won't ask, OK ......"
"It's none of your business, it's Mommy thinking of something sad from the past."
