She said aggrievedly: "Zhang Siyuan said that we were sent to kindergarten because our parents didn't like us anymore, so they sent us to kindergarten. Do our parents like my younger brother and don't like Xiaoman anymore?"
Zhang Siyuan is the neighbor downstairs. He is about the same age as Xiaoman and they usually play together.
But what this little girl said really made me laugh.
But when I smiled, Xiaoman cried. She cried and said to me: "Dad, is what Zhang Siyuan said true?"
I stopped laughing and hugged her into my arms. While stroking her head, I said softly: "Of course not! Zhang Siyuan is timid and doesn't dare to go to kindergarten, so he said this because he wanted to
Don’t you go play with him.”
"Really?" Xiaoman tilted his head and looked at me blankly.
I nodded and said: "Of course, if the child does not go to kindergarten when he reaches a certain age, parents will really dislike him... Do you think Zhang Siyuan's parents like him?"
"Dad, have you ever been to kindergarten?"
"I have attended it! But my father called it preschool at that time."
After saying that, I smiled again and continued: "And smart and beautiful children like our Xiaoman go to kindergarten, and the teachers like them very much."
After hearing what I said, Xiaoman finally nodded and said, "Okay, then Xiaoman will go to kindergarten."
"That's right. You have to get used to it slowly, because your younger brother will also go to kindergarten in the future."
"Um."
Xiaoman is actually very obedient, but sometimes he is a little willful, but for girls, it is normal to be a little willful, so I will tolerate it.
Xiaoman suddenly complained to me again: "Dad, mommy hit me."
"Where did I hit you?"
"Here." Xiaoman pointed to his butt and said with an aggrieved look.
I suddenly asked with a distressed look on my face: "Does it hurt?"
"Well, it hurts. My mother doesn't like me at all. She only likes my brother."
I sighed and said, "Xiao Man, you can't think like that. Mom loves you more than anyone else... Do you know? After mom gave birth to you, she still took you to work with her. Sometimes she was so busy that she forgot to eat, but
I will never forget to breastfeed you. Mom will take you wherever she goes... She loves you more than me."
"Then why when you go to bed at night, you don't let me sleep with you, but you let my brother sleep with you?"
What this little girl said suddenly stopped me.
I really didn’t expect that she could think of so many things at such a young age. I was stunned for a long time and then said: "Because my brother has to get up many times every night, and my mother has to feed him. When my brother stops eating milk, she will also need one."
People are asleep."
"Oh." Xiaoman responded obediently.
I touched her head again and said, "Okay, just play by yourself. Mom and dad will take you to kindergarten tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, I came to the bedroom again.
But he saw An Lan sitting on the bed, his eyes a little red, obviously he had cried.
I came to her with great confusion, knelt down and asked her, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"No, I'm not crying." She turned her head away, not wanting me to see her.
"Oh, I saw it all. Tell me why you are crying?"
An Lan let out a long sigh and said, "I just heard what Xiao Man said. She doesn't like me. I felt very sad."
I couldn't laugh or cry and said, "My wife, why do you care about your child? I've made it clear to her. Mom loves you more than me, and she will understand."
"But that's the truth! Don't you think she doesn't even like talking to me now?"
"I really don't think so. Maybe your method is wrong."
"Did I use the wrong method? What method did I use wrong?" An Lan suddenly became excited.
I smiled and said: "I didn't mean what you thought. I just said that about going to kindergarten. You have to find out why she doesn't want to go! Have you asked her?"
"Why didn't I ask? I asked her countless times. Did she tell me?"
After An Lan finished speaking, he snorted coldly and said: "If you think that the way I educate my children is wrong, then from now on, you will be responsible for educating your children, okay?"
"Look, that's not what I meant!"
"I don't want to talk to you anymore. If you think it's easy to educate children, then fine, let's swap roles."
"Hey, why are you like this? I didn't say anything, I just..." I wanted to explain something, but when the words came to my mouth, I suddenly sighed feebly.
An Lan said excitedly: "Yes, you are running around outside every day, and I know it's hard for you, so I don't want you to worry about anything at home... But, can you also be considerate of me? Do you think it's been easy for me these past few years?
Are you done? Do you know that I sacrificed everything for this family?"
"I know."
"No, you don't know. If you knew, you wouldn't be running around like this every day... I know you want to make more money, but I have told you countless times that I don't think these are important, as long as we can live our lives.
, I really don’t expect you to make much money..."
Probably all the emotions over the past few years had been accumulated, and at this moment those accumulated emotions found a breakthrough, so An Lan suddenly burst out like this.
I was even a little bit at a loss because I had never argued with her like this before.
I don't want to argue with her because I know better than anyone how hard it is for her.
I also know that in order to take care of her two children, she sacrificed everything, including her circle. It can be said that all that is left in her life now is her children and this family.
But I think we shouldn’t talk about these things openly, I just know them in my heart.
And she doesn't know anything about me, so we have this disagreement.
I didn't want to continue arguing with her, so I took a deep breath and said to her: "Stop talking, just calm down."
After saying that, I was ready to leave the bedroom.
An Lan said, "I'm very calm now, and I don't feel tired of raising two children. I just hope you can understand me."
"How else can I understand you?!" My emotions suddenly exploded, so that my voice became much louder.
Yangyang, who was still sleeping, was suddenly woken up by me.
He started crying with a "wow" sound, but An Lan had no intention of coaxing him.
His crying made me even more annoyed, and I felt like my head was going to explode.
I saw that she still didn't care about the child, she just walked to the bed, picked up Yangyang, and comforted her.
But no matter how much I tried to comfort him, he still cried so hard that he couldn't stop crying at all.
I had no choice but to walk back and forth in the room again, saying at the same time: "Don't cry, don't cry, Yangyang, stop crying, are you hungry? I'll give you something to drink..."
No matter what I said, he kept crying.
I was very annoyed because I really had no experience raising children, which was quite depressing.
An Lan finally couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and said to me coldly: "Give it to me."
I could only hand the baby to her, and as soon as she hugged me, something magical happened.
