A foreign city, dear you

That's how the years go.

The next year succeeds the previous year, and the next day repeats the previous day.

When she is not at work, Ye Lian feels that every year, every month, and every day is no different.

On the street, people and cars rush by, but these "hurries" belong to others and have nothing to do with you.

Fortunately, even if you are not working, even if you are free, you can still share the red sun and enjoy the bright moon with others every day.

Ye Lian feels that she is a wanderer.

She no longer works, so she is on the periphery of office workers.

This is easier to handle. Find other stay-at-home moms.

But Ye Lian found that she was also on the periphery of the group of stay-at-home mothers because she couldn't talk about their gossips and family affairs.

Therefore, when Cao Xueqian was at work, he did some housework and made some meals.

In the past, Ye Lian didn't know how to cook, and she didn't like to cook. After Grandma Lanshan left, she slowly learned to cook.

In addition to housework, I also take care of the blue fir.

Lanshan has now become Ye Lian's everything, the center of Ye Lian's daily life.

However, there is one thing that has always been on Ye Lian's mind, and that is Lin Shushen's case.

The court's judgment has come out, ruling that the contractor should fulfill its liability for compensation. However, even if the amount is small, the contractor has always refused to compensate. Ye Lian had to apply for compulsory execution on the advice of her lawyer, and she didn't know when the result would be.

Just be patient.

Sometimes, Ye Lian also goes shopping.

Whenever she enters a certain store or shopping mall on a working day, she often feels like the whole place is reserved.

The bored waiter would follow Ye Lian as if she were a distinguished guest, and would chat with Ye Lian for nothing. Sometimes she would ask: "Beauty, don't you have to go to work today?"

Ye Lian nodded vaguely.

Or he asked: "You are a teacher, right? You have such a good temperament."

Ye Lian also smiled without comment.

It's so dissociative and boring, but Ye Lian's life is worry-free.

Cao Xueqian's love for Ye Lian seems to be no different from before.

He has never spoken condescendingly and loudly in front of Ye Lian because she didn't go to work; or he has never disliked or complained about her overtly or covertly.

He never does.

He comes home from get off work on time every day, and his salary card is handed over to Ye Lian for safekeeping as before. Cao Xueqian will not ask how Ye Lian wants to spend money.

It's just that Ye Lian loves money and is reluctant to spend lavishly. Besides the family's normal expenses, she keeps any extra money in the bank.

But even so, Ye Lian's heart is becoming fragile and sensitive unnoticeably.

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

A woman's confidence comes from two aspects, one is her career, and the other is her husband's love.

And Ye Lian seems destined to have no career of her own, so her confidence inevitably collapses, making her heart, which gradually became confident under Cao Xueqian's love and care, unknowingly become a little cautious. Very humble and ashamed of oneself.

However, Ye Lian did not show it in front of Cao Xueqian, because Cao Xueqian still held her in his hands and loved her wholeheartedly. It was this care and love that gave her inferiority no chance to invade Ye Lian's heart. Just retreat automatically.

But many times in front of outsiders, her inferiority complex would pop up from time to time, and Ye Lian would become as cautious and taciturn as before.

She is very afraid of other people's questioning words or questioning eyes: Why do you stop going to work at such a young age? Are you living off a man?

Ye Lian doesn't know whether the love of Cao Xueqian she relies on in the long days to come will last. Can I still regain my previous confidence and confidence?

……

The days are like water, flowing slowly.

Month after month, before I knew it, it was already September of 2004.

"Mom, hurry up." Lanshan held her mother's hand and jumped up and down, urging her mother.

Lanshan is carrying a small navy blue schoolbag and wearing a light blue kindergarten summer uniform. He is cute and cute.

Hearing her son's urging, Ye Lian also quickened her pace.

"This little kid is so excited to go to kindergarten." Ye Lian smiled and shook her head.

Today is September [-]st, Lanshan’s first day in kindergarten. It’s completely different from what Ye Lian imagined.

Last night Ye Lian was still worried about whether Lanshan would cry or make a fuss on the first day of kindergarten. Will he curl up at her feet like a kitten, dragging his nose and refusing to leave?

Yes, this is what she imagined. She even thought about how to coax Lanshan.

But she found that she was completely wrong. They were not what she thought at all. In the morning, she just yelled so softly, and he rolled over and got up.

"Go to kindergarten, go to kindergarten." He shouted happily.

This made Ye Lian wonder if he had been looking forward to going to kindergarten for four whole years?

From time to time, children wearing the same kindergarten uniforms would pass by. Whenever Lan Shan saw them, his eyes would sparkle with joy. He wished he could be like a kitten or a dog when they see the same kind, and could play with them immediately.

Today is Lanshan's first day in kindergarten. He joined the middle class, so everything is so new and he can't get enough of everything. Along the way, I looked east and west, feeling excited and curious.

The closer we get to the entrance of the kindergarten, the more children there are and the more lively it becomes.

The children in middle and large classes waved goodbye to the adults and then jumped into the garden. On the first day of class, many children were crying and making trouble and refused to enter the kindergarten.

Some are coquettish and some are arrogant. Anyway, they just don’t want to let go of their parents’ hands and enter kindergarten.

Some parents squat down to persuade patiently, while others lean down and scold harshly. In the end, they all come back to one sentence: "Baby, be good, be obedient..."

……

Lanshan walked and stopped.

Are they going to cry and refuse to enter the kindergarten due to the influence of those children?

but not.

Lan Shan just stood there, looking intently at a little girl who was crying loudly.

The little girl is very beautiful, with a round face and two very delicate pigtails. No matter how her mother coaxed her, she just cried and refused to let go of her mother's hand...

Lanshan looked at the little girl, and Ye Lian looked at Lanshan.

This scene seems to have happened before.

Ye Lian remembered that every time he took Lanshan to get vaccinated, he was the same way. Although the other children burst into tears, he neither cried nor made a fuss, and remained a calm spectator.

Even if the doctor inserted a needle into his fleshy little arm, he would just frown slightly and soon act as if he was fine.

"It's easy for you baby to worry about." Doctors often say this.

Ye Lian just smiled.

They say that when a baby gets an injection, it hurts the baby and hurts the mother's heart.

Maybe that's what it's like? My mother feels sorry for her, so Lan Shan doesn’t feel any pain at all?

……

"Look at how well-behaved this little brother is. He doesn't cry at all."

The girl's mother was already at her wits' end, but when she saw Lanshan standing next to her who was neither crying nor making trouble, she immediately used Lanshan as an example to comfort her daughter.
