The lamp on the bedside table in the bedroom was on, and the orange light shone on the faces of An Lan and the two children, casting a soft halo. The three of them slept as sweetly as babies.
I don't know what I was dreaming about. The corners of my mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile. The happy and contented look looked so beautiful.
This moment of peace made my heart feel moved, and my nose felt a little sore.
For a moment, I didn't want to move any more, not wanting the scene to be a little messy.
This is the life I want!
I just want to keep looking at this picture and protect this picture well.
Why does God want me to get stomach cancer? Why can't I spend more time with them?
Even if we wait for the two children to grow up, watch Xiaoman get married, watch Yangyang get married and start a family...
It's a pity that I can't see all this. I can't even imagine such a picture.
I calmed down my mood, then exited the bedroom and closed the door gently.
I went to the second bedroom next door and lay quietly on the bed. I seemed to hear the pounding of my heart.
My heart couldn't calm down for a long time, as if I had been through a big battle, and I felt physically exhausted.
I hope tomorrow can be as beautiful as now.
I sighed softly.
…
When I woke up the next morning, my aunt had already prepared breakfast, and Xiao Man sat on her own little table and ate breakfast obediently.
An Lan was breastfeeding Yangyang on the sofa, and everything looked so beautiful and happy.
After seeing me come out, my aunt asked me first: "Xiao Chen, do you want to drink soy milk or porridge?"
"I can do it myself, Aunt Wang." I said.
"It's okay, I'll help you put it out."
"Then let's have some porridge, thank you Aunt Wang."
An Lan suddenly asked me: "How long did you come back last night?"
I was stunned for a moment and then replied: "It's almost one o'clock."
She frowned slightly: "Why is it so late?"
I suddenly felt guilty and said with a sneer: "Su Tao drank a little too much, so I sent her home. She was tormented by me along the way!"
An Lan suddenly looked at the balcony again. The shirt I wore last night was washed and hung on the balcony.
Before she asked me, I took the initiative to explain: "Su Tao vomited all over me last night, and I washed her when I came back."
An Lan didn't ask any more questions. After a moment of silence, she said again: "It's time for Su Tao to find a boyfriend."
I shrugged and said, "That's her business, but this situation will never happen again, and I made it clear to her."
"Well, let's go eat."
I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the dining table. Aunt Wang had already served me the porridge.
I suddenly remembered something and turned to Aunt Wang and asked: "Aunt Wang, has your son's matter been resolved?"
As soon as her son was mentioned, she sighed and said in a low voice: "I don't know, I also told him, let him find his own way and deal with it as he should. I really can't control him."
"Don't be too sad, maybe this is not a bad thing for him."
"Well, it's a good thing that my daughter lives up to her expectations, otherwise my life would be really difficult."
"I remember you said last time that your daughter was about to graduate from college, right?"
"Well, she will graduate next year. My daughter is trying her best. She rarely asked me to get money during her college years. She was working outside to study."
I nodded with satisfaction and just chatted and ate my breakfast.
After Xiaoman finished eating, An Lan combed her hair, changed clothes, etc., until after eight o'clock in the morning, we went out and sent her to kindergarten.
After sending Xiaoman to kindergarten, An Lan and I went to the company to work.
I see that she is quite tired. She gets up very early every morning to take care of her two children, and she hasn't had breakfast until now.
As I drove the car, I said to her: "An Lan, you don't have to go to the company every day. How about I send you back to rest? You can still do things at home."
"How can that be okay? Now that I have returned to the company to work, I can't go to the company every three days. Even if you think it's okay, after a long time, the employees will have opinions."
She said while eating the buns she just bought.
"What's the point? I have the final say in the company."
An Lan smiled and said: "I'm bored at home anyway, so I might as well go to the company, at least there will be someone to talk to and relieve my fatigue."
I couldn't persuade her anymore, so I nodded.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
She took out the mobile phone in her bag and answered the call, then said: "Hello, Zhu Ling."
When I heard Zhu Ling's name, my heart suddenly tightened.
I wonder why Zhu Ling called An Lan this early in the morning?
Could it be that I told her that I went to her house last night with red lipstick?
My heart began to panic, and I tried my best to hear what she was saying to An Lan, but I couldn't hear what she said.
He just heard An Lan say "hmm" a few times, gave her an address, and then hung up the phone.
I quickly asked her in a subtle way: "Why did Zhu Ling call you so early?"
"Nothing, she asked where to vaccinate the children?"
"Don't she know?"
"She just came here, she definitely doesn't know."
"Didn't you say anything else?" I asked guiltily.
"What did you say?" An Lan suddenly looked at me suspiciously.
She is very smart, I can't say any more, otherwise she will definitely tell that there is something fishy about her.
I smiled quickly, changed the topic and said, "She's here now. I think Gao Sheng will be in better spirits all day long."
"Zhu Ling is so nice! She has children, and she also has to wash, cook and clean housework for Gao Sheng."
"Isn't it the same for you? Besides, you have two children with you."
An Lan smiled lightly and said: "If there is no Aunt Wang at home, do you think I can do it?"
"Isn't it the same before when there was no Aunt Wang?"
"That's because you didn't pay attention. We lived in the countryside at that time, and there were so many people living at home. Tong Xin and Gu Lisa were helping me with many things."
It suddenly occurred to me that this seemed to be the case, because I had been busy with work during that time and had almost no involvement in family matters.
No matter what, I still think An Lan is amazing, and any woman raising a child is amazing.
Not long after arriving at the company, Gao Sheng came to my office to hand over documents.
I asked him by the way: "Zhu Ling suddenly called An Lan this morning. Do you think she will tell An Lan what happened last night? Have you explained it clearly to her?"
I was really panicked. Although Su Tao and I didn't do anything, it was very troublesome to explain.
"Explain? What to explain?" He looked confused, pretending to hide his inner gloating.
I glanced at him and said, "Stop pretending to be weird with me. Do you know what I'm talking about?"
He still looked confused and said: "What happened? Why can't I understand? I don't understand the situation, how can I help you find a solution?"
"Damn it, didn't I make it clear to you last night?"
He still looked confused and said, "Did you tell me? Why don't I remember?"
Seeing him look like he was not interested in anything, I couldn't help but want to curse him.
