Facing An Lan's question, I smiled and said, "I accidentally sprained my ankle while walking last night. It's nothing serious."
"Why are you so careless? Have you gone to the hospital?" An Lan frowned and walked over to me.
"After seeing it, the doctor said it's nothing, no bones or anything."
An Lan walked up to me, knelt down, and said, "Let me take a look."
"Nothing to look at. It's a bit swollen."
"You're not only a little swollen! You're a little out of shape! How did you walk? You're such a big man, why are you so careless!" An Lan complained with a tone of concern.
"It was just too dark, so I looked at my phone and accidentally missed it."
"You're really not careful at all! Does it still hurt?"
"It's fine now, no pain."
"Go and sit down."
An Lan said, and hurriedly called Xiao Man: "Xiao Man, come and help dad do it while I make the bubbles on my hands."
Xiaoman was also very obedient. She hurriedly came to me and stretched out her little hands to help me.
I smiled and said to Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, I'm fine. I can walk without any support."
Xiao Man still helped me walk to the sofa, and An Lan went to the bathroom to wash clothes.
Xiaoman took the book she was reading and said to me: "Dad, I can read poems now. Please read them to you!"
"OK!"
So Xiaoman picked up the book and started reading in a decent manner:
""Quiet Night Thoughts"
Li Bai, Tang Dynasty
There was bright moonlight in front of the bed, which was probably due to frost on the ground.
Raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to think about your hometown."
After finishing reciting, Xiaoman quickly asked me: "Dad, did I recite well?"
"Well, okay, daddy will reward you with a gift."
As I said that, I opened the bag I just brought back, took out a box of DIY princess rooms and handed it to Xiaoman.
I know she wants this very much. Last time we went shopping together, she saw something selling this on the roadside and kept staring at it for a long time, but she didn't ask An Lan or me for it.
Little girls like this kind of pink Barbie doll. This kind of DIY princess room allows children to get started and put it together by themselves.
As soon as Xiao Man took the gift box, he shouted excitedly.
An Lan, who was still washing clothes in the bathroom, ran out immediately after hearing Xiao Man's cry.
"I thought something happened and it scared me."
I smiled and said to her: "I bought gifts for you all in the United States. Have you finished washing them? After washing them, I will show you the gifts I gave you."
"Wait a minute." An Lan was not in a hurry, and went back to the bathroom after saying that.
Xiaoman hugged the gift box ecstatically, looked at it again and again, and said to me happily: "Dad, I like this so much!"
"Then read the book carefully, and dad will buy you whatever you like from now on."
An Lan, who was in the bathroom, heard what I said and immediately said to me: "Don't talk nonsense to your child. You can buy whatever she likes. Is that right?"
After Xiaoman heard An Lan's voice, she curled her lips. I touched Xiaoman's head and whispered to her, "It's okay. If mom doesn't buy it for you, I will buy it for you."
Xiaoman nodded vigorously, then came over and kissed me on the face, and whispered: "Dad, I will be good."
"Well, I like it if you behave well. If you don't, I won't buy you a gift."
"I'm good."
After a while, An Lan took the washed clothes and walked to the balcony to dry them.
After she finished drying the clothes, I said to Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, just read a book in the living room while daddy tells mommy something."
Xiaoman nodded obediently, so I called Xiaoman into the bedroom and slept on the Yangyang bed.
"What are you doing?" An Lan asked me after I called her in.
"I bought you a gift."
As I said this, I took out the gift box, which was a Swarovski black swan necklace.
When I opened the box, An Lan was a little surprised, but then she said with some dissatisfaction: "Why spend this money! It's not like I don't have a necklace to wear."
"Your necklace is a long time old, and you haven't bought jewelry for a long time. And it's not expensive. I bought it at a duty-free shop."
"how much?"
"Less than ten thousand."
An Lan looked surprised and said: "What is less than ten thousand? Nine thousand and nine are less than ten thousand!"
"More than eight thousand."
An Lan turned to look speechless again and said, "Isn't more than eight thousand expensive? You can buy a lot of clothes and shoes for Xiaoman and Yangyang."
I smiled and said to her: "Although I am not particularly rich now, don't worry, our life will get better and better... This necklace is really not expensive compared to the famous brands you bought before.
"
"It's still expensive, I don't think I've graduated, and there are cheap Swarovski necklaces too!"
"I think this one looks good and suits your temperament. Let me put it on for you to have a look."
An Lan nodded and then squatted down in front of me.
I took the necklace out of the box, then put it around her neck and put it on for her.
"It's beautiful. Only my wife can control the elegance of this black swan."
"Really?" An Lan was a little unsure.
She walked to the mirror, looked at it, and said, "It looks pretty good."
"It's not pretty, but it's pretty! You know what? This necklace is really tailor-made for you."
I'm really not talking nonsense. The black texture completely formed a sharp contrast in front of An Lan's snow-white neck.
In the design world, contrasting colors are the most fashionable.
Although black is a universal color, it is not something that ordinary people can control, and when this black swan platinum necklace is worn on the neck of a swan like An Lan, it is incomparable beauty.
"Thank you!" An Lan turned around and said to me with a smile on his face.
"It's me who should say thank you."
I pulled her over, sat on my lap, and kissed her on the lips.
An Lan looked at the foot in my hand and asked me, "Has the doctor prescribed any external medicine for you?"
"It was prescribed and said to apply it three times a day."
"Then take it out and I'll apply it for you."
After I took out the ointment, An Lan squatted at my feet again, took the ointment and applied it little by little on the foot in my hand, and then started to apply it gently.
"Does it hurt?" she asked me, raising her face.
"It doesn't hurt, it's quite comfortable."
"You! You are just too careless. From now on, walk carefully and stop looking at your phone."
"Um."
"It's really not easy to worry about being such an adult. Look at Xiao Man, even at such a young age, he knows to watch the road when he's walking."
As An Lan complained, my nose felt sour and sour, and tears fell instantly.
She reminded me of my mother. When I was a child, I fell down outside. When I came home, my mother would wipe my fall with some medicinal wine made at home.
While scolding me, he treated my wounds.
Just like An Lan is now, and they are really the most important people in my life.
A tear suddenly fell on the back of An Lan's hand. She immediately raised her head and looked at me, frowned slightly and said, "Did I hurt you because I tried too hard?"
"No, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."
"Then why are you crying?"
"I'm so touched!"
An Lan said indifferently: "What's so touching about this? Isn't this what it should be?"
"There is no right or wrong, there is only love or no love."
