A foreign city, dear you

In the early morning of May, the sun was just right, warm but not strong; the breeze was gentle and soft.

Little Lanshan was riding high on Cao Xueqian's shoulders, holding Cao Xueqian's head with both hands, pretending to be riding a horse, looking lively;

Cao Xueqian firmly grasped Lanshan's feet and jogged in coordination from time to time, which made Lanshan laugh heartily and made him feel more like riding a horse;

Ye Lian held Cao Xueqian's arm and looked at the two father and son with a smile.

very nice! Labour day!

Cao Xueqian can have three days off to spend time with his family, and Ye Lian doesn't have to worry too much about the passing of time together.

Maybe it was because of the festival, the pedestrians on the road seemed leisurely and calm.

Even if she didn't go to work, Ye Lian got up early and helped Grandma Lanshan prepare breakfast. By the time Cao Xueqian and Lan Shan got up, dressed and washed, breakfast was ready.

After breakfast, Grandma Lanshan told Ye Lian and the others to go buy groceries while she stayed at home to clean up.

Now, Ye Lian and the others are already walking on the long slope.

Here or there, occasionally a child would call her "Teacher Ye——"

Ye Lian heard the cry and looked around.

Unfortunately, my eyes were short-sighted and I couldn't see the children in the distance. I didn't know which building or window the scream came from.

Those adorable kids!

From a long distance, regardless of whether Ye Lian could hear it or not, she just screamed in a longer voice without fear of hurting her throat.

Ye Lian responded loudly and blankly, while waving her hand vigorously in the direction of the source of the sound.

When we arrived at the market, there was a busy morning market scene.

The three of them looked here and there, and stopped for a moment at the fish stall, because Lanshan was attracted by the fish in the fish tank.

At the end of the shopping trip, I bought two ribs, a pack of steamed pork rice noodles, half a pound of beef, a handful of celery and some vegetables.

The market was noisy and the floor was wet and dirty.

After buying vegetables, the family did not linger and wandered out of the vegetable market, preparing to go home.

Suddenly, Lan Shan, who was riding on Cao Xueqian's neck, shouted: "Thank you, uncle!"

Ye Lian looked up and saw Teacher Xie walking towards the vegetable market.

Hearing Lanshan's cry, Teacher Xie also saw Ye Lian and the others, but he did not immediately agree to Lanshan like usual, nor did he come over immediately, appearing a little hesitant.

"Uncle Xie!" Lanshan thought Teacher Xie didn't hear, so he shouted again.

"Teacher Xie, do you want to buy groceries too?" Ye Lian also greeted.

Teacher Xie no longer hesitated and stepped forward.

"Hello Lanshan." Teacher Xie greeted Lanshan first.

"Has Teacher Ye bought the vegetables?" Teacher Xie asked Ye Lian.

"Yes." Ye Lian nodded.

"This is Teacher Xie. He helps us a lot." Ye Lian introduced to Cao Xueqian.

"This is Lan Shan's father." Ye Lian introduced to Teacher Xie.

After listening to the introduction, Cao Xueqian released his right hand that grabbed Lan Shan's feet, stretched out his hand to Teacher Xie, and said, "Hello, Teacher Xie."

Teacher Xie also extended his right hand politely and said "Hello."

The two hands shook gently.

The two men knew each other's existence because of Ye Lian, but this was the first time they met and the first time they shook hands.

Ye Lian still wanted to say a few words, but when she saw Teacher Xie looking like he was in a hurry to leave, she said, "Teacher Xie is in a hurry, right? You go ahead and go ahead." At the same time, she asked Lanshan to say goodbye to Teacher Xie.

The family continued walking home.

"Teacher Xie doesn't have a girlfriend yet?" Cao Xueqian asked.

"I heard not yet." Ye Lian replied.

"Teacher Xie is very handsome." Cao Xueqian said.

"Forget it." Ye Lian replied.

"Dad, can you fold a plane? Uncle Xie can fold a butterfly plane." Lan Shan listened to the two of them discussing Teacher Xie and also jumped in.

"Thank you, uncle, for giving you the origami plane?" Cao Xueqian asked.

"Yes, what a beautiful butterfly plane." Lan Shan said in a strange tone.

Cao Xueqian paused and said, "Then you have to thank uncle. Dad can't fold butterfly planes, but dad can fold other planes."

"Then I want the plane that dad folded." Lan Shan yelled.

"Okay. Dad will give you a discount when I get home." Cao Xueqian promised.

"When will Teacher Xie make origami airplanes for Shanshan?" Cao Xueqian asked Ye Lian.

Ye Lian told Cao Xueqian what happened that afternoon.

"Teacher Xie is always so enthusiastic and even helped me carry gas upstairs a few days ago," Ye Lian said.

"Really?" After hearing this, Cao Xueqian suddenly stopped, stared at Ye Lian and asked, "What's the situation? Why do you need Teacher Xie to carry the gas? Don't the people from the gas company carry it?"

Ye Lian saw Cao Xueqian looking very strange, so she told him exactly what happened that day when he called for gas.

Cao Xueqian listened carefully, said nothing, and walked forward in silence.

Ye Lian thought to herself, it's bad, maybe she's jealous? I was a little worried that he would care. He was also a little jealous that time when Teacher Xie helped to dismantle and move the bed.

"Jealous?" Ye Lian stared at Cao Xueqian's face and asked worriedly.

"Do you even need to ask? It would be weird if you weren't jealous." Cao Xueqian admitted simply.

Cao Xueqian is really jealous.

He and Ye Lian are now a weekend couple, and they are not together for almost six days a week.

Ye Lian and Teacher Xie go to the same school, in the same office, teach students in the same class, ride on the same school bus, and spend five days a week together.

Teacher Xie took great care of Ye Lian as always, so of course he was jealous.

Between men and women, every time this kind of care is taken care of, there is more danger.

Although, Ye Lian is not the kind of person who changes his mind when he sees something different.

"Oh, I just carried the gas once, nothing like this will happen again." Seeing that Cao Xueqian was really jealous, Ye Lian quickly forgave Cao Xueqian's heart.

Cao Xueqian put Lan Shan down from his neck, held his hand, and then put his arm around Ye Lian's shoulders: "As I said before, jealousy is jealousy, but don't think too much about it. I believe you, otherwise I I won’t go far to work in the city anymore.”

"Well, that's pretty much it." Ye Lian clung to Cao Xueqian tighter.

"I'm really worried about losing you." Cao Xueqian said in a faint tone.

"You just said you believed me." Ye Lian laughed angrily.

"It's not surprising. I believe and worry at the same time. Many things are contradictory and uncontrollable." Cao Xueqian seemed to have become a philosopher.

"Don't worry, what's there to worry about? It's not controllable yet? How could it be uncontrollable?" Ye Lian disagreed.

"For example..." Cao Xueqian wanted to say something.

"Like what?" Ye Lian looked at Cao Xueqian.
