When I returned to my residence after get off work, An Lan was already making dinner, while Xiao Man was playing alone in the living room.
Seeing this scene, no matter how many worries I had in my heart, they suddenly disappeared.
When I came to the kitchen door, An Lan looked at me with a smile and said, "You're back?"
"Well, why do you let Xiao Man play alone?"
"It's okay, Xiaoman is very obedient."
After saying that, she paused and said to me: "Go play with her."
"She won't let me get close to her." I said with a hint of grievance.
"That's because she hasn't seen you, so you should go play with her."
I nodded, then went to the living room and looked at Xiao Man sitting alone on the sponge cushion playing with toys.
Her concentration was very much like An Lan's. I had already walked in front of her, but she didn't seem to notice me.
Until I called her: "Xiaoman."
She then raised her head and glanced at me, but then quickly lowered her head and continued playing with her toys.
This makes me very distressed. From the day she came back yesterday to now, she has not gotten close to me or even called me daddy in person.
Naturally, I feel a little sad, but as I said, there will be a long time to come, so don’t rush for this moment.
I squatted down next to her and said softly: "Xiaoman, daddy, can I play with you?"
She snorted and turned away, as if she was afraid that I would snatch her toy away.
An Lan's voice came from the kitchen immediately: "Xiaoman, what's the matter with you? He's your father. Don't you miss your father so much? Why don't you play with your father?"
"He is not my father." Xiaoman suddenly said.
I was stunned when I heard this. An Lan also walked out of the kitchen, looked at Xiaoman angrily, and said, "What did you say? He is not your father, who is your father?"
"Anyway, he isn't. Dad's voice doesn't sound like this."
I looked at An Lan stupidly, and An Lan also said helplessly: "Xiao Man, my father only talked to you on the phone before. Of course, the voice on the phone is different from reality."
"Then why doesn't he come to see me?"
An Lan looked at me helplessly, and I felt sad too, so I had to say: "Xiao Man, dad is sorry for you, because dad is too busy."
"Humph, why don't you come to see me when you are busy? You are not my father." She said in a sweet voice, and then turned her back.
An Lan seemed to be angry. She walked forward angrily, grabbed the toy in Xiaoman's hand, and threw it aside.
Xiao Man burst into tears with a "wow", and instead of comforting her, An Lan complained: "How many times have I told you that dad is busy and dad also wants to see you, why are you disobedient?
"
The more An Lan talked, the louder Xiaoman cried, and the whole room was filled with her cries.
"Okay, okay, stop talking about her. This is my fault in the first place."
I said, and quickly went to please Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, don't cry, it's dad's fault. From now on, daddy will stay with you. Dad will take you to the zoo to play, okay?"
"No, I don't like you, I want grandma, I want grandma"
An Lan was really angry. Seeing that she was about to attack Xiao Man, I quickly grabbed her and said to her: "Don't be like this, tell Xiao Man properly, I'll go cook."
"This kid is so pissed off!"
"It's okay, just be patient and it will get better in the future."
After saying that, I went to the kitchen by myself, and continued cooking the dinner that An Lan had just finished halfway through.
Xiaoman soon stopped crying. I discovered that as long as I was not around her, she would not be like this.
In fact, Xiaoman is very obedient, more mature than many children of the same age, and not dependent at all.
But she didn't recognize me and wouldn't even let me get close to her.
This of course makes me depressed. My child doesn't recognize me and won't let me hold him. This feeling is as uncomfortable as eating a dead fly.
During dinner in the evening, Xiaoman also sat far away from me.
After eating, he deliberately avoided me even when he took three steps out, not even letting me hold his hand.
An Lan also felt helpless. She asked me to be patient and it would get better after a while.
And I couldn't sleep with An Lan at night because Xiao Man was there and she wouldn't let me go to An Lan's bed.
I can only endure it and hope it will get better after a while.
In the next two days, I was still busy with some international trade matters. Because I had a new partner, there were many things that needed to be taken care of.
Although An Lan did not go to the company, she was not idle either and moved her office back to her home.
Although An Lan and I have known each other for so long, this is the first time we have truly joined forces, and I am certainly looking forward to the future.
Two days later, the promotion was launched in one of the largest shopping malls in Chengdu.
Early in the morning, the clothing factory prepares all the clothing for the promotion and prepares to send it to the shopping mall.
On the small square outside the lobby door on the first floor of the company are piles of kraft paper boxes as high as a hill.
Some employees were carrying goods to the car. Next to the cardboard boxes as high as a hill stood a man smoking. I didn’t know what department he belonged to or what he did.
I just saw him gesticulating over the porters, speaking in a loud voice, as if there was a thick phlegm stuck in his throat.
And at this moment, I suddenly saw the little girl Tong Xin from the logistics department. She had just walked out of the building, carrying the work permit for this promotional event on her chest.
Tong Xin was accompanied by a woman. I know this woman and she is the head of the logistics department.
When the smoking man saw the two of them, he immediately greeted the supervisor of the logistics department: "Sister Liang, are all these goods shipped to the mall?"
"Yes," the head of the logistics department looked at the time and said, "There's still half an hour left, why haven't we finished moving yet? Hurry up."
"I didn't know there were so many goods at first. If I had known earlier, I should have sent more people over.
The head of the logistics department immediately turned to Tong Xin and said, "Tong Xin, hurry up and help. They are waiting for goods in the mall. If you are late, it will be difficult for Mr. Gao to communicate with you."
"Yes." Tong Xin nodded in agreement and joined the team moving the goods.
But the deputy director of the logistics department left in a car. I felt a little puzzled. I knew it was too late, why didn't I stay and move together?
However, Tong Xin worked hard and did not complain. These goods were not light. She only saw four porters working hard, two under the car responsible for transporting, and two on the car responsible for stacking the goods.
All four of them were covered in sweat, the blue overalls on their backs were soaked with sweat, and even the tips of their hair were wet.
But the smoking man stood aside and gave instructions, and kept telling them to move faster, otherwise their wages would be deducted.
Not to mention Tong Xin, a little girl, even a porter was already very tired with these goods.
But Tong Xin still stepped forward to help, but her small body could not move it.
Everyone moved the goods in pairs. Tong Xin tried to move the goods, but the goods didn't move at all.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I walked over and asked the man standing smoking, "Don't you have a trailer?"
Naturally, the man who smoked didn't recognize me. He glanced at me and asked, "What do you do?"
Tong Xin saw me at this time and shouted to me: "Uncle Chunsheng, why are you here!"
