It goes without saying

Early the next morning, the child woke up in a daze. He wondered if he was dreaming.

A wonderful dream.

He had never slept in such a warm and comfortable bed, and never woke up in such a quiet environment.

In the place where he lived before, the morning was the noisiest, and the crying and scolding never stopped. No matter how hard he tried, he would still be scolded and beaten. He never understood what he did wrong. Why did adults always scold him and beat him?

"Are you awake?" A deep voice came from next to his ear, he turned his head and froze again, by the way, he slept in the middle of the big bed last night, and the two adults who brought him home slept in his bed respectively. On both sides, now one of them is gone, only the person who always smiles at him is left.

"Your little dad is cooking delicious food. You will be willing to talk later, tell him what you want to eat, and let him make it for you." Shen Xi said while lying on his side with his arms under his head, looking at the child.

The child rolled his eyes, but his face was blank again.

"Your little dad has a good handiwork. He is very attentive in everything he learns. I like him the most." Shen Xi said to the child.

The child looked at Shen Xi, but couldn't exactly understand the meaning of "like".

"In the future, you will know that at home, you are free to like or dislike anything. Don't be afraid, but you have to say what you are afraid of. But if you really refuse to speak, then I will teach you how to write. Do you want to learn?" Shen Xi asked him, remembering that Zhou Yanyu started from writing.

The child's eyes lit up when he heard the words. Some of the older children in the orphanage could write. He also learned to write "one, two, three" from an older brother, but later he left the orphanage and waited for another time. When I went back, my brother was no longer there.

"Nod your head if you want to learn." Shen Xi said to him again.

The child couldn't resist the temptation to learn to write, so he nodded.

"Okay, then let's get up first." Shen Xi rubbed the child's head and said.

The child hurriedly got up and dressed, he looked a little clumsy due to his short hands and feet, but this child didn't need anyone's help, he dressed slowly from head to toe by himself, Shen Xi's movements were of course much faster than him, He went to the bathroom first, and when he came out, he saw the little guy standing on the big bed and trying to fold the quilt.

Shen Xi couldn't help but smile, in his eyes, the child was small, but he insisted on lifting such a big quilt over his head, and stacked the corners of the quilt with his head up, his earnest appearance made him laugh.

Shen Xi walked to the bed and hugged the child off, and said with a smile: "After you sleep alone, you can fold the quilt. You don't need your help with this."

But when the child followed Shen Xi to the living room, Shen Xi saw Zhou Yanyu who came out with breakfast and said: "Our Jia Lele is really cute and sensible, we dress ourselves and rush to make the quilt, let me be the father It’s useless.”

Zhou Yanyu glanced at the child, and praised him without hesitation: "Then we will give Lele a reward. Let us know what you want later. If you can't say it, learn to write. I will go out today and buy stationery for you."

Shen Xi immediately smiled and rolled his eyes: "I said just now that I want to teach him to write, we really have a good understanding." Then he bent down and asked the child: "Lele, do you think your little dad and big dad are born with each other? A couple?"

Zhou Yanyu shook his head helplessly when he heard the words. The child just heard Shen Xi's declaration of "favorite little dad", and was praised again at this moment, and was a little confused, so he nodded unconsciously. Shen Xi was happy, and pinched his little face : "Our son is really cheering."

Although the child is very defensive, after a day and a night yesterday, he knows that this place is safe. At least for the time being, he does not have to worry about being beaten. They also said that they will teach him how to write. He thinks that if this is the case, he should still be able to stay in this place. He stayed for a while, but he was still cautious, because he was afraid that if he accidentally did something wrong, the adults would be angry.

Shen Xi and Zhou Yanyu couldn't see it, but a sense of security cannot be cultivated overnight, it has to be done slowly.

Breakfast is small wontons stuffed with fresh meat. Children have never tasted such delicious and steaming wontons. After taking a bite, they can’t stop. After cleaning up the wontons one by one, they also drank the wonton soup. Fortunately, Zhou Yanyu didn't feed him too much, because he was afraid that the child would be overwhelmed.

After breakfast, the child climbed out of the chair and carried the empty bowl into the kitchen by himself.

After breakfast, the family went out together, Zhou Yanyu drove, first sent Shen Xi to the company, and then turned to Lanxinyuan, the child was sitting in the passenger seat, wearing a seat belt, but his little head turned ninety degrees out of the window, He has a short body, and he had to look up at the scenery outside the car window all the way. When the car was driving in the tunnel, the child turned his head to look ahead. After a while, he couldn't hold back and glanced at Zhou Yanyu quietly. After Zhou Yanyu noticed, Said to him: "We're almost there."

The child looked ahead. The tunnel was not long, and he soon saw the exit. Not long after, the maple leaves all over the mountain came into his eyes, which was too beautiful to be true.

"Our home is behind this maple forest." Zhou Yanyu said again.

The child's eyes widened. The beautiful scenery in front of him was really like that painted in a fairy tale book. He had never seen such a beautiful scenery. Behind the maple forest, he could faintly see scattered houses, which made him feel He had great anticipation, and even a little excitement that he couldn't hold back. He didn't believe there was any forest hut at all, but now that he came here, he felt that these two adults didn't seem to be lying. The forest hut might really be there. in.

In the following journey, the child was so surprised that he didn't even close his mouth. He turned his head all the way, looking at the separated houses, tall trees, and chasing the big lake all the way. Finally, he saw The legendary forest cabin.

The decoration of the house has not yet started, but the key has already been obtained. Zhou Yanyu opened the car door and let the little guy get out of the car. The little guy stared at the small house in front of him, thinking for a while that he was still dreaming.

"I'll take you in for a walk first, and then go for a walk in the woods." Zhou Yanyu said, holding the little guy's hand, and walked into their house in the future.

The little guy looked left and right, and Zhou Yanyu patiently introduced him to the arrangement of the room. He had seen Shen Xi's design draft and knew how to decorate it in the future. When they decided to adopt a child, they specially opened up a room To live for the child, Zhou Yanyu led the child into the room that was still empty, and saw a small balcony outside the huge French window, looking around, it was a green forest, Zhou Yanyu said to the little guy: "This is where you will live in the future." place, do you like it?"

Of course the child liked it in his heart, but he didn't think this would be his residence.

He never had a sense of belonging, never had a family.

However, at this moment he raised his head to look at Zhou Yanyu, who lowered his head and said to him: "When the time comes, you will choose the desk, bookcase, wardrobe, bed, curtains, and some small toys and decorations yourself, but there is one condition. That is, you have to be responsible for the things you choose, learn to cherish and use them, and when you grow up and grow up, we will donate these furniture items you choose to children who need them.”

The child listened to it, and even though he was skeptical, he still felt a little bit excited. When he heard Zhou Yanyu talk about the fact that he would grow up in the future, he felt a little bit more hopeful in his heart, and then heard When the item he chose was for other children to continue to use, he suddenly felt a sense of responsibility and mission. His little puppet was one of the donations. He still remembered that his aunt took them to choose gifts, and the little puppet The dirty puppet nestled in the corner and was disliked by many children, but he felt that the little puppet was very pitiful, so he chose it.

After walking around the house, Zhou Yanyu took the little guy for a walk in the woods in front of the house. The little guy was very cautious, and followed Zhou Yanyu. Zhou Yanyu didn't plan to take him the whole way, after all, he will live here. , there are plenty of opportunities for this little guy to explore by himself.

"I'm going back. I'm going to buy stationery first, and then I'm going to buy vegetables." Zhou Yanyu didn't forget to give the child a reward. He only went to the supermarket yesterday. The stationery there was relatively ordinary. He wanted to buy better stationery for the child, so he drove On the way back, I made a special trip to take the children to the shopping mall.

"Let's start by buying stationery, and you will have to choose the furniture yourself in the future." Zhou Yanyu said to the child in the elevator, and the child nodded seriously.

The little guy had never been to a mall, and there were not many people in the mall in the morning, and it was sparse. Zhou Yanyu took the kid directly to the stationery counter of MUJI.

The child was completely dazzled by Zhou Yanyu's arms, but in the end he chose a pen and a notebook. The pen was a modular pen with several colors and was very practical. The notebook chose a loose-leaf book with refills. After finishing writing, you can add paper by yourself. Zhou Yanyu didn't express any opinions at the side, but he secretly felt that this kid was smart and affordable.

While the children were picking out stationery, Zhou Yanyu called Shen Xi and asked him what he wanted to eat.

Shen Xi reported the name of the dish, and said to Zhou Yanyu: "You guys come back after eating well, don't be hungry."

"Depending on the time, I will take over in the afternoon." Zhou Yanyu said.

"Alright, I happened to take Lele to buy pets that afternoon." Shen Xi's tone suddenly relaxed. They went out to play for more than half a month. The signed documents were still piled up, but since they had returned to China, so many people knocked on the door of his office that day, so that he seemed very busy, but in fact he didn't start to do anything except meet people.

But Shen Xi also expected that Zhou Yanyu would come to replace him. If there was an extra child in the family, he and Zhou Yanyu would not be able to divide the work. There would always be one person who had to take care of the child while the other was busy with work.

Let's change it, whether it's work or children, it's the same.

Shen Xi hung up the phone and asked the secretary not to let anyone in, and let him concentrate on reading a few documents that were in a hurry before talking.

After growing up, Shen Le said that the eldest dad is a confession maniac, and the younger dad is a doting husband maniac
