[HP] Mrs. Snape

Chapter 11 The Beloved

The new house is located in the South End of London. Although it is a bit rushed, Arya is very satisfied with it.

The whole community is built along a gentle slope, the environment is very good, the distance between each house is large, under the cover of tall hedges, the privacy is well protected, and Alia's house is located at the highest point of the gentle slope From above, you can overlook the entire community, but at the same time, people in the community cannot see the situation in their homes.

A two-story house, with a garden lawn in front of the house, and a small woods behind the house, shaded by trees, and a small river flowing through the woods, Arya fell in love with this house at first sight, even though After spending all his savings, he signed the purchase contract without hesitation.

The former owner was a lawyer. Although the decoration design of the house is old-fashioned and orthodox, it is still exquisite. The furniture was also left by Arya when she moved out. In view of her and Andrew's current financial situation, Arya has no plans to redecorate for the time being. Intend.

Andrew adapted quickly to the new environment. In the first two weeks, he still chanted words such as "go home" and "Susie" to Arya, but slowly, under Arya's leadership, he and the community After several children of the same age made friends, Andrew regarded this place as his new home.

Compared with the situation where there are few playmates in the small town, here, Andrew and the boys in the neighborhood quickly get along with each other and are much more lively.

Arya also gradually got acquainted with her new neighbors. Here, she deliberately kept a certain distance from her neighbors, instead of actively mixing with them like she was in a small town.Community events, neighbors' party invitations, Arya never fails to take Andrew to attend.And after settling in, the mother and son also held a party in their house, but it was limited to this.Everyone does not inquire about each other, is not curious, respects each other's living habits, and gets along with each other not far or near, which is exactly what Alia wants.

Andrew's special ability did not appear again, which made Arya secretly relieved. She was not afraid of any problems, nor was she afraid of any difficulties. However, what happened to herself and Andrew couldn't be explained by common sense , Even if she had experienced these abilities before, she was at a loss, and Arya didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, according to my own experience, this uncontrollable ability will gradually become more docile with age, and it will gradually get better.Now, the most important thing is her and her son's livelihood.

Buying a house cost almost all of her savings. Although there are still some stocks and investments for long-term investment, it has never been Aaliyah's character to sit and eat. She decided to find a job.

But the first problem in finding a job was Andrew. She couldn't let Andrew stay at home alone. Susan suggested that she could help. In recent years, she also opened an interior design studio by herself. Time, you can put Andrew with her.

Monday, 53:[-] am, Mulan Street, No. [-], master bedroom on the second floor, the curtains are closed, there is a little person on the bed, sleeping soundly, the black hair stuck in the pillow is black and shiny, fair skin, rosy cheeks, long And the curved eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was a little awake, he hummed twice, rubbed his nose with his fat little hands, and opened his eyes.

The sleepy-eyed child whispered "Mom, Mom." But no one responded, curled up and got up, struggled to lift the quilt, and looked around, but there was no one around, and the mother was not there.

Grabbing the sheets, she slipped out of bed, stepped firmly on the small stool that her mother placed beside the bed with her little feet, and then jumped from the small stool to the ground. Before running out of the room, she did not forget to put on her own little slippers with frog patterns.

"Patta Pata" slowly climbed down the stairs with his back on his back, and accidentally stepped on the air. It didn't matter if he squatted on the steps. The stairs were covered with thick carpets, so it didn't hurt at all.

It took a lot of effort to go downstairs, and ran to the kitchen "clack-clack" again, there were voices there, and my mother was there!

Sure enough, the kitchen door was wide open, and my mother was cutting tomatoes with her head down.

"Mom!" Andrew rushed over and hugged his mother's leg.

"Hey? Andrew, you woke up so early, baby, come and kiss me, mom." Arya quickly bent down to pick up Andrew, and she couldn't kiss her little face enough.

"Mom's little baby is so good, it can go downstairs by itself, so good!"

Little Andrew giggled when his mother kissed him.

The breakfast for the mother and son is very rich. In addition to Andrew's milk and steamed egg pudding, there are sausages and oatmeal that the child likes recently... Of course, there are necessary fruits and vegetables. Andrew doesn't like fruit salad, he prefers fruit For the original flavor, Alia cuts all kinds of fruit and lettuce into pieces, and adds some yogurt at most...

Since Andrew can eat the staple food, Alia has carefully prepared every meal. The ingredients must be fresh and the food must be nutritious and delicious. Every few days, she will prepare a hearty meal for the mother and son, even if she is the only one enjoying it And Andrew, they are not sloppy at all.

Therefore, in Little Andrew's concept, eating is only when there are vegetables, meat, soup, and small desserts after meals.

But at noon today, Andrew had to have lunch at Susan's place. He used to live with Alia. Susan never paid attention to food. As long as the food can fill her stomach, it is delicious to her.So Arya had to prepare in advance.

"Mom, when are you coming to pick me up?" Andrew gnawed on the bear biscuit with a melancholy expression on his face.

Arya was carefully pouring the boiled chicken soup into Andrew's kettle, and said, "Mom, as soon as possible, it is estimated to be around three o'clock in the afternoon, and no later than four o'clock, baby."

"Three o'clock? How long is three o'clock?" Andrew has not yet established a clear concept of time.

"Well, it's almost time for you to watch another episode of Shaun the Sheep after you take a nap."Andrew has a regular schedule, getting up at eight o'clock every day and going to bed at eight o'clock at night at the latest.After breakfast, it's his study time in the morning. Arya has already started teaching the children spelling and simple math. After lunch, Andrew will take a nap, and then it's time for Andrew's games and walks...

Hearing what his mother said, Andrew probably understood the time period. He lowered his head, pouted his mouth, and stopped eating the biscuit in his hand.

Alia, who was always paying attention to her son, naturally saw it. She put down the lunch box in her hand, squatted beside the child, and said softly: "Andrew, I'm sorry, mom doesn't want to leave my Andrew, but mom has to find a job, mom promises, I'll pick you up as soon as possible, okay?"

Andrew still lowered his head, clasped the biscuit with his little finger, and said unhappily after a while: "Then, mother, you have to hurry up, I, I'm afraid I will miss you."

"Oh, baby." Alia felt her eyes were red, hugged the little baby, sniffled her nose, and said with relief: "Okay, mom promises, mom will call Andrew, okay?"

"Well..." Andrew reluctantly accepted the fact that his mother had to leave him for half a day.

On the way to drive the child to Susan’s house, Andrew was still a little unhappy, not as happy as when he was riding in a car in the past. This Ford car was also bought by Aaliyah two days ago. Andrew was very excited, and he always took a small car when going out Cars, even going for a walk in the park, have to be driven by my mother.

But today, Andrew lowered his head, looking sleepy, without the joy of sitting in the car in the past.

Seeing the child like this, Arya felt very uncomfortable, and the thought of "or else, forget it, let's not go and stay with the child" kept appearing in her mind, but no, she and Andrew must have a fixed income!

Gritting her teeth, she made up her mind and handed the child over to Susan, "This is Andrew's baby bottle. At that time, these two bags of milk powder will be filled together, half of each bag, and one bottle will be washed at ten o'clock. It is best to dry it after washing. Andrew likes it." Low temperature milk, this is a small biscuit with milk. By the way, this is Andrew's lunch, I made rice, oh, yes, it is a bit like Chinese food, he likes it very much, this is with rice Vegetables, just heat them together in the microwave oven, and chicken soup, heat them together, remember not to be too hot, Andrew is afraid of being too hot. This is his fruit, eat it after taking a nap, if I haven’t come back by 04:30, Andrew wants Drink another cup of milk, he likes to call that cup of milk afternoon tea, it’s best to have some small cakes, don’t give too much, half the size of a palm will do.”

Susan stared dumbfounded at Alia's continuous digging out of the bag that seemed to be a bottomless pit, and finally took out a half-worn green backpack and said, "Here are Andrew's books and toys, and this morning is his study time." , he can read by himself, remember to let him take a break every half hour, don’t watch TV, do some activities, go out for a walk, oh, and,” Susan covered her face and looked at Ai Liya took out another frog-shaped crossbody bag and continued: "If you want to go out, remember to bring this bag, here is Andrew's favorite coat, as well as his small umbrella, compass, small handkerchief, this bag is Andrew's bag, oh, oh, and..."

I couldn't listen anymore, Susan hurriedly pulled Arya out of the door half-threateningly, and said goodbye with a smile and waved her hands: "My dear, don't worry, I will take good care of Andrew, I wish you a smooth day, goodbye."

Arya was pushed into the car, looked helplessly at Susan who was also helpless, and smiled wryly: "This is the first time I've been away from him for so long, Susan, I'm sorry, I'm a little..."

Susan also smiled, leaning against the car window, and said with a smile, "I know my dear, we will have a good time getting along, I wish you good luck."

Arya had no choice but to wave her hand at Andrew who was standing at the door, and stepped on the gas pedal mercilessly. She didn't dare to look at Andrew any more. He looked like he was about to cry...

Seeing Alia walking away, Susan clapped her hands, turned around and hugged Andrew, who was already expressionless, and said with a smile: "Honey, it's time for the two of us, come on, Aunt Susan promises to let you have a good day Be happy!"

However, in the next few hours, Susan clearly knew what "frustration" was.

Arya explained so much, she snorted a little, she always felt that Arya raised her child too carefully, and there were too many rules, what to do in the morning, what to do in the afternoon, what time to eat, what time to go to bed, completely deprived Is it okay to give up the children's freedom? !Children will naturally eat when they are hungry, and will naturally fall asleep when they are sleepy, and children who are only three years old have to study?God, this is oppression.She herself grew up so freely, isn't it great?

So in the morning, Susan kept teasing Andrew, who was reading with his head down, "Come on, baby, look, this Mickey Mouse is fun, isn't it? He can run, hahaha." As a result, Susan herself was amused by the funny movements of the mouse. And Andrew stared at her expressionlessly, at that moment Susan swore that she saw contempt in Andrew's eyes.

And she understands Alia's instructions a little bit. This child seems to be concentrating on the book to the extreme. He is obviously only a three-year-old child, but he sat all morning without moving his position. After a while, he gradually began to get busy. When Susan got up, she remembered that she wanted to let the child rest, but she saw Andrew looking at her with aggrieved expression.

"Huh? What?" The accusation expression on Andrew's face was so obvious that Susan couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to pretend to be stupid.Follow Andrew's eyes, bottle?Oh, that's right, Alia told me to drink milk at ten o'clock, and it's already eleven o'clock, so it shouldn't matter, she hurriedly made milk for the child, "Huh? Why are there two bags? Yes, yes, there is still a bottle in the afternoon. Hey? The two bags are not the same, drink this or that first? Forget it, they are all the same!"

Finally, the milk was prepared. Susan tried it herself, and the temperature was just right. As a result, Andrew took a sip and spit it out.

Susan was looking puzzled when Andrew picked up a small stool and put it on the edge of the table, stepped on it and climbed onto the table, picked out a box in the shape of a Winnie the Pooh from a bunch of palm-sized crispers, and looked after himself. After climbing down, he sat on the sofa and opened it, eating the biscuits inside bit by bit.

Susan looked at Andrew with a blank face... eating biscuits, took two sips and drank the water in the small kettle he brought, then turned her head to look at the bottle on the table that she hadn't taken a sip of, cast her eyes in disgust, and turned around He turned around and buried himself in the picture book again.

Susan was a little overwhelmed.

At lunch time, Susan cheered up, and carefully put the box of odd-shaped rice and mouth-watering dishes into the microwave oven, oh, yes, and soup, Susan quickly opened it Put the soup in the microwave.

"Okay, Andrew, it's time for lunch." Susan called happily as she brought out her lunch.

I saw Andrew silently took out a set of cutlery from a bag, and then stared at Susan with black eyes.

"Huh? Oh, oh, yes, I'll serve you rice, rice. Haha." Susan felt a little embarrassed.

The spoons, bowls, and plates that Andrew used to eat were all specially made. Susan filled the meals with trepidation, and was relieved to see Andrew eating quietly with his head bowed.

This child usually looks very lively, and when he sees himself, he will softly call "Aunt Susan". Why is he so cold today? It's been a whole morning, no matter how much he teases him, he is unwilling to say a word .Strange, so strange!Susan was thinking with her chin in her hands, when suddenly there was a "bang", something fell down, and then "Wow", Andrew cried hoarsely.

Susan jumped up in fright, and ran over in a panic. The soup bowl was overturned, and Andrew covered his mouth, "Wow, mom, mom," and cried bitterly.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, what's the matter with Andrew?" He quickly tore off Andrew's hand, only to see the child's mouth was red and his tongue was sticking out, as if in pain.

Is it hot?Susan hurriedly touched the half-emptied soup bowl, "sigh", it was really hot, and quickly picked up the child to comfort her, but at this time Andrew unexpectedly didn't cooperate, kicking her limbs, crying and breaking away from Su Susan's embrace, one who didn't pay attention Susan almost threw Andrew away.

Had to put the baby on the ground, Andrew cried louder, crying "Mom, Mom."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Andrew, I didn't pay attention, sorry, don't cry, okay?" Susan squatted on the ground and kept talking, but Andrew didn't want to stop at all, he was already out of breath from crying, Ignoring Susan, who was about to collapse, she called her mother.

At this time, the phone in Susan's office rang, and Susan hurriedly got up to answer the phone, but Andrew's crying was like a magic voice piercing her ears, and Susan couldn't hear the other party's voice at all.

"Stop crying!" shouted Susan, who was disturbed by Andrew's crying. "Hey, hey, hello, please continue..."

Andrew seemed to be frightened by Susan's anger. He stared timidly at the angry Susan with black eyes that were still crying, and he didn't even dare to cry.And Susan had already turned around to answer the phone, leaving Andrew sitting on the floor alone.

This is a situation that Andrew has never encountered, no one has ever spoken to him so loudly, his mother will never throw him on the dirty and cold floor and leave him alone, as long as he cries, his mother will always pick him up , kissing him, comforting him, Andrew looked at Susan’s back timidly, the grievance in his heart was even greater, his mouth was flattened, tears fell down, but when he looked at Susan, he didn’t dare Crying aloud, I could only whimper "woo woo woo" and whisper "Mom, mom."
