bad daddy

Lian Ming turned his head in embarrassment. One meter away, the little white-faced policeman was resting one hand on the window sill, tapping his fingers unconsciously, looking at him with a sideways smile.

"Police, police officer." Lian Ming felt his back go numb, and he forced a smile out of embarrassment, "Good afternoon."

The little white-faced policeman smiled, and glanced at the sign on the wheel, "Driving a luxury car." Then he glanced at the back seat, "Will the whole family come out to play together?"

Lian Ming wanted to explain, but couldn't explain clearly.

You can't tell people, brother, you misunderstood that I was single after 30 years of mother's womb, right?

He Yaning and his daughter sat in the back seat silently as if they were watching a good show.Lian Ming felt embarrassment written all over his hair.

Tsk, Lian Ming bared his teeth, this is bad luck.

After the police car rode away, He Yaning asked, "Do you know him?"

"Cough—" Lian Ming dragged his voice for a long time, lazily and impatiently, "It was the one who interrogated me last time. I ran into it if I didn't pay attention."

He Yaning nodded, "Since it's in our jurisdiction, if we have a better relationship, we might be able to cover you later."

Lian Ming curled his lips and didn't speak.

Who wants him covered?When my uncle was recruiting cats and dogs to play with birds in Haishi, that kid didn't know where he was!

Xiaozhu has not returned to this home for several days.But it was obvious that she was very happy, bouncing all the way, with her ponytail flicking back and forth, making people dazzled.Passing by the convenience store downstairs, Xiaozhu tugged on He Yaning's sleeve and said he wanted to eat ice cream.

The sky is getting hotter.

He Yaning bought her a cone, Xiao Zhu cherished it and licked it in small bites.That serious appearance reminded him of Xiang Jie, Xiang Jie's sparkling eyes, and the sudden shower that morning, which made everything wet.

"Father," Xiao Zhu called him, "What delicious food did brother Xiang Jie cook today?"

He Yaning was taken aback by her question, and looked down at Xiaozhu's innocent face.There was a small smear of ice cream on the tip of her little nose, a small white piece, which looked a little funny.

He Yaning thought for a while, took out a wet tissue from his pocket, and squatted down.

"Xiao Zhu," he carefully helped his daughter wipe off the frosting on her face, "Daddy is cooking for lunch today."

"Why?" Xiao Zhu tilted his head, puzzled.

Is it because my brother is angry and doesn't want to cook?

Or dad has no money?

Or did Uncle Lian speak ill of his brother?

His little mind was full of questions.In Xiaozhu's view, apart from talking too much nonsense, his brother has nothing wrong with him.But my father is very picky, this is not good, and that is not good, my brother has a hard life under the pressure of his father.

Of course she worked hard too.If Xiang Jie didn't cook for her, Xiaozhu thought, what would she eat?

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, and Xiaozhu's appetite has long been cultivated. It is indeed a bit difficult for her to accept He Yaning's dark cuisine again.

She pursed her lips, a little unhappy.

"Xiao Zhu," He Yaning sighed softly, "Brother Xiang Jie won't come to our house anymore."

"...He has something to do," He Yaning said, "Papa will cook for you in the future, okay?"

Xiao Zhu stared at He Yaning with widened eyes.She obviously needs a little time to digest this shocking news.

After a while, she nodded slowly, "OK."

Dad wasn't really asking for her opinion, after all.

Lian Ming went back home, the house where Xiang Jie wasn't there was a bit too quiet.He Yaning opened the door, but the living room was still in a mess.He Yaning sighed, and hurriedly started to tidy up.

Xiao Zhu stood at the entrance in a daze for a while, changed his shoes, and began to help He Yaning put the lunch box on the coffee table into a plastic bag.

He Yaning was a little surprised, but still said to Xiao Zhu: "Father can do it by himself."

"It's okay." Xiaozhu said in a low voice without stopping his hands, "Dad is working very hard by himself, I will help Dad."

He Yaning is not a person who loves to cry.He is different from Xiang Jie, he will hide any emotions in his heart, suppress them, and let time slowly digest them.

He is also used to being strong, gritted his teeth when encountering problems and carried them through.He also firmly believes that all the tempering will eventually become his strength.

But Xiaozhu's plain words made him feel mixed emotions.

alone.

He has never felt that there is anything wrong with being alone, and Li Yili's personality of a single old father who strives for self-improvement can also win the favor of some customers.

But there will always be times when people feel tired.Occasionally, he also felt that if he had a partner by his side, like Xiang Jie, it would be a blessing to prepare the meals and wait for him with a light on.

He Yaning twitched the corner of his mouth a little stiffly, but unfortunately, Xiang Jie is no longer here.

He is like a kite with a broken thread, drifting away in the vast sea of ​​people with the wind.And he voluntarily let go.

The father and daughter were silent and tidied up the living room.He Yaning stretched his waist, reached out and touched Xiao Zhu's head, "What do you want to eat at noon?"

Xiaozhu held up a takeaway order in front of He Yaning, blinked her big eyes sincerely, "Dad, let's just eat pizza."

With wireless earphones plugged into his ears, Xiang Jie hummed a song and rode his bicycle to Shisan Xiaoxiao.

Under the persuasion of Ge Feng and himself, Xiang Tao finally nodded and asked Xiang Jie to try this job.

"Don't be late," Xiang Tao reminded Xiang Jie while putting on his tie before leaving the door, "Don't say you are my younger brother. I won't open the back door for you. If you can face it, it's your skill."

Xiang Jie repeatedly agreed, and went out together with Xiang Tao.

It's just that my brother drives and he rides a bicycle by himself.

Xiang Tao has now become the leader of the mathematics teaching group, and he is also a leader.Xiang Jie knew that he was very strong and competitive, and he also cherished his feathers very much, and he didn't want to leave anyone talking.

Xiang Jie jumped off his bicycle, held up his mobile phone, and recorded a short clip of himself, "Now I'm going to an interview, everyone wish me luck!"

The third primary school in the city may not sound so domineering, but it is considered a prestigious school in Haishi.Xiang Jie straightened his collar and stood at the school gate, feeling a little nervous.

A layer of sweat broke out in the palms of the hands.

Don't be afraid, Xiang Jie.Xiang Jie cheered himself up silently in his heart, you are a bully who has even passed the Tianheng interview, what is a mere librarian?

Thinking of this, Xiang Jie became inexplicably confident again.

These days, getting into a school is not easy.The security guard compared Xiang Jie's ID for a long time and asked a bunch of questions before letting him in reluctantly.Xiang Jie stuck out his tongue, remembering the days when he delivered food to Xiaozhu.

... I don't know if that child can get used to He Yaning's dark cuisine now.

Just wronged the child.Xiang Jie thought.

"oops!"

You can't play with your mobile phone while walking, and you can't think about things while walking.Without paying attention, Xiang Jie bumped into an aunt with gray hair.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Xiang Jie backed away in fright, before anyone could see clearly, he bowed and apologized.

"Young man, what's going on? You're out of your mind." Auntie has a good temper. She took a look at Xiang Jie and softened her tone. "Which grade teacher are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Xiang Jie blushed, and then raised his head to see the person clearly, "I...I'm not a teacher, I'm here for an interview. Ah...Auntie, how do I get to the library?"

"It's just ahead." Auntie looked at him with a smile.Xiang Jie always felt that he could see a bit of maternal brilliance in the other party's eyes.

"Then good luck with your interview."

"Assistant Jiang." He Yaning watched his daughter munching on pizza, and at the same time called the assistant and told her the sad news, "I'll be going back to the law firm tomorrow."

"Ah!" Jiang Chen yelled on the other side of the phone, "Really! Boss, you are finally coming back! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

He Yaning smiled and pinched the center of his eyebrows.The girl was still the same, startled and surprised. "While I'm not around, you're going to have troubles, aren't you?"

In fact, he only took a week off.It's strange, I always feel like a month has passed by at work, but once I take a vacation, I always feel like I've been away for a long time.

... It's strange to be lost.

"No! We are very good." Jiang Chen grinned, "Hey, boss, it just so happens that the third school that we worked with before sent an invitation letter, please go to their school to give a public welfare lecture next month..."

Jiang Chen waited for his response.

He Yaning pursed his lips.If it was the past, whether or not to participate in such public welfare activities would depend on whether one was in a good mood or not.But now, this easy job can probably be used as a warm-up for returning after a short vacation.

"I will go." He Yaning pondered for a while, and then slowly said, "Please contact the organizer, the location is arranged in the library, right? You should also confirm with them about the theme this time."
