In the evening, Xue Ling checked the homework of the three children, and urged them to finish reading today's text, review and preview. Seeing that it was already nine o'clock, he quickly urged them to go to bed.
Xiao Yue had already gone to bed with Xiao Chong. The two of them each covered themselves with a thin quilt and fell asleep quickly.
Xiaoxin likes to read storybooks and is watching "Cinderella" with a small lamp on.
Cheng Tianyuan looked around and reminded in a low voice: "Xin'er, it's almost half past nine, go to bed quickly. If you don't sleep, you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."
Xiaoxin lay on the quilt and pouted coquettishly: "Dad, just for a moment!"
Cheng Tianyuan walked in, packed up the books that were lying on her desk, and stuffed them into the bookshelf.
Xiaoxin smiled and asked: "Dad, do you think there really is a 'Cinderella' in the world?"
"There should be, but not many." Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and whispered: "Yesterday, my father watched a TV program, which told a true story. A male noble fell in love with his classmate when he was studying abroad, and later he took her
Married back to China and entered the life of a royal family. The female classmate came from an ordinary working-class family and was an ordinary commoner. When the wedding was held, a lot of media reported that she was a real-life version of Cinderella."
"Wow!" Xiaoxin smiled extraordinarily sweetly, with crooked eyes: "It's so enviable!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled fondly: "It is true that many girls are envious of her. However, Cinderella divorced the prince six years later."
"Why?" Xiaoxin's smile suddenly stopped and asked: "She doesn't love him anymore? The prince doesn't love her anymore?"
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Reports say that after Cinderella married into the royal family, she was very upset every day because she had to abide by a lot of royal rules. Almost everything in food, clothing, housing and transportation had to be according to the royal standards, otherwise she would be criticized. Cinderella
He gradually became unhappy. Because the prince grew up in the royal family, he was used to that kind of lifestyle, but Cinderella was not. So, there gradually became a rift between them."
Xiaoxin thought hard and asked anxiously: "So, they divorced in the end?"
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan said: "The report said they were divorced last month."
After all, Xiaoxin was still young and still couldn't understand the truth, so she whispered: "What a pity that is!"
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled and took the fairy tale book away from her hand.
"Perhaps for Cinderella, divorce should be her relief. After all, she and the prince are originally from two different worlds. Since they can't get along, there is no need to live in pain all the time. Love is beautiful, but life is not necessarily
. Without love, many people can live very well. But love alone is not enough."
Xiaoxin pouted and muttered: "But I think love is the most important."
"It's important, but not the most important." Cheng Tianyuan asked warmly: "Can love give you food and clothing? Can it give you everything? It's impossible, right?"
"Um...it seems so." Xiaoxin nodded.
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Before this Cinderella met the prince, she lived a very happy life with a happy family and successful studies. After she met the prince and fell in love, she should have been very happy at that time. But love does not mean that
All in all, her life is unhappy because love cannot guarantee her happiness. In the end, she is willing to sacrifice love in order to pursue her own joy and happiness."
Xiaoxin seemed to understand, but muttered: "If you have love, you won't be happy either."
"Yes!" Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Because love is not everything, Cinderella is not happy, so she would rather give up love and pursue the life she likes. You have been surrounded by family since you were a child, and later you had classmates when you went to school.
With friends, you have friendship again, and you are always happy and happy. Love is just one emotion in our lives, it does not represent everything."
"Oh!" After hearing this, Xiaoxin put away the Cinderella storybook.
Cheng Tianyuan turned off the desk lamp and helped her tuck in the quilt.
Xiaoxin asked in the dark: "Dad, does she still have love with the prince? How can she be willing to separate from him?"
"Any kind of emotion, as the distance stretches and time goes by, it should fade away." Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "When you grow up, you will slowly understand."
Xiaoxin thought for a while and then asked seriously: "Dad, you and your mother have such a good relationship, will your love... change one day?"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan smiled softly and whispered: "The love between your mother and I is no longer just love, we also have family ties. We are relatives, not just lovers. So, even when we are old, we can no longer love each other.
, there is still family affection between us!”
Xiaoxin smiled, a little shy, and rolled around holding the quilt.
"Dad should love mom very much."
Cheng Tianyuan patted her head and said, "Stop thinking so much and sleep well."
"Yes." The daughter nodded obediently: "Dad, good night."
Cheng Tianyuan turned off the desk lamp, opened the window wider, and then closed the door.
However, he doesn't have to worry about him because he sleeps in the school, and he can't worry about him.
Then, he quietly opened the door of the second child's room.
Xue Yang always loved eating and sleeping. He fell asleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes, and the thin quilt on his stomach was not even lifted.
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head helplessly, went into the room, opened the quilt, and covered him gently.
Xue Yang muttered unconsciously, turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
Cheng Tianyuan opened the window to the maximum, then turned around and closed the door with confidence.
There is no air circulation when the door is closed, and not much wind comes in. This guy is tall and strong and is afraid of getting too hot, so he can only open the windows wider.
After checking on the child, he went back to the living room and turned on the TV to watch the news.
Xue Ling came out of the shower and heard Xiao Han chattering across the street. She couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't Xiao Han gone to bed yet? It's already ten o'clock, right?"
Cheng Tianyuan said: "How self-discipline can a child whose parents do not care about her do? She is only over three years old, not thirty, so she knows what to do is right."
Xue Ling was stunned, feeling that he was still angry, and sighed helplessly.
"Her parents are not children. They know what is best for them. Not every couple can reach the end of their lives, right? Rather than being in such pain and not being able to get along, and looking at each other and hating each other, it would be better
Divorce gives each other a relief."
Cheng Tianyuan said with a sullen face: "Ah Heng, why doesn't he speak for himself? In the past two years, he has not shown any signs of living a good life! What kind of husband and father are you if you don't come home every three days?! My sister has a lot of
It’s not right, but it’s not right for him to be like this either!”
"He always quarrels and makes trouble when he comes back. What's he doing when he comes back?" Xue Ling frowned and explained: "He would rather work hard outside alone and numb himself with work than go home and quarrel with your sister. He would rather be alone.
Spending the night alone and not wanting to go home. What’s the point of living like this? What’s the point?”
Cheng Tianyuan fell silent.
Xue Ling sighed again: "They have been married for more than ten years. They lived happily in the first few years, but then they fought for three days and four days. If they really can't survive, they can only divorce and seek relief from each other."
"What about Xiaohan?" Cheng Tianyuan asked in a deep voice, "What is he going to do? If there is no child, it's just the two of them. They can do whatever they like, and I won't care! But the child is only over three years old, and she has to bear the responsibility.
A life without her father or mother around? She has to grow up in a single-parent family from then on, how innocent she is! Why do they only think about themselves and not think about Xiaohan? "
Xue Ling explained: "A Heng said that he wants to fight for Xiaohan's custody rights. He doesn't want Xiaohan to live with your sister, because he is afraid that her... thoughts and practices will affect Xiaohan and be bad for her growth."
