Chapter 25 25. Multiple children in the family

When Lan Yun received the call from the department, she was at the airport.The department head's secretary was anxious that everyone would come to the office for an emergency meeting tomorrow, and Lan Yun agreed.She didn't ask what it was because she saw Yan Daoming leading the child towards her.She agreed mechanically on the phone, her eyes and mind were all focused on the children who walked in bit by bit. At 10 meters and 8 meters, a thin and short child with eyes full of panic and anxiety walked up to her.Before Lan Yun could say "goodbye", she hung up the phone.The little boy was led into Blue Yun by his father, and looked up at her.Blue Yun subconsciously exercised, and the little boy and her eyesight were basically at the same level.She believed in fate, and when she saw the little boy for the first time, the frightened and restless eyes made her immediately disintegrate all defenses.The bit of resentment towards Yan Daoming and the dissatisfaction and contempt towards Yan Daoming's ex-wife that he had harbored in his heart all disintegrated.The little boy was gently pushed by his father to call him "Auntie".The little boy timidly did not dare to open his mouth, so Lan Yun knelt on the ground with one leg, took the little boy's hand, and said, "It's okay. My name is Lan Yun. Blue Blue. You can call me anything. You What's it called?"

The little boy said, "Yan Le." Lanyun said, "Lele hasn't seen Dad for a long time, right?" Lele nodded.Lanyun said, "Is the meal on the plane delicious? Is Lele hungry?" With a slight accent, the little boy asked Lan Yun, "Where's my mother?" Yan Daoming's complexion was a bit bad, Lan Yun continued to say patiently: "Mom is in another country called France. She can't come back now, can you stay with Dad first? This is Beijing, and there is a big zoo in Beijing." , Aquarium, and many playgrounds. Would Lele like to play?"

Lele nodded firmly.Lanyun led Lele and followed Yan Daoming to the parking lot to pick up the car.Along the way, Lanyun asked Lele if she had ever been to kindergarten and if she could read?Can you count?Lele shook her head blankly one by one.Yan Daoming didn't speak, but he was already full of anger.The ex-wife didn't let the children receive any preschool education. At the age of 5, Lele can't even write his name.Now in Beijing, it is unbelievable that a child who is about to go to school can't know anything.Lanyun asked Lele if she wanted to go to kindergarten to play with other children.Lele looks a little yearning. At home, only grandma and grandpa are with him, but he still has to do housework. Lele has nothing to do except watch TV.Along the way, Lanyun described to Lele that there are many toys in the kindergarten and the lives of many children in a language that Lele might understand.Lele wanted to go a little bit.

Lanyun returned home, cooked small wontons for Lele, and served some snacks.Like a puppy just brought into the house, Lele inspected the unfamiliar environment with curious and vigilant eyes.He looked suspiciously at the food in front of him, and then was attracted by the aroma. After carefully eating one wonton, the one with ephedrine devoured the second and third.Seeing the child eating without looking up, Lanyun was worried that she had made too few wontons, but Yan Daoming suddenly felt sad seeing the child's wolf-like appearance.He went in and out several times, secretly wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.Blue Yun reminds the child from time to time, eat slowly, don't burn it, and there is something else.

At night, Lele's sleep became a big problem.For such a long time, Lele slept with grandma.Grandma's house has few rooms, and Lele has never had a room of her own.Yan Daoming took Lele to see the house that Lan Yun had carefully prepared for him. Lele's eyes flashed curiosity and liking, but Lele quickly withdrew and held Yan Daoming's hand tightly.Lanyun read Lele's body language, and she knew that Lele was afraid of being alone in the room.Yan Daoming really wanted to fix Lele's problems on the first day. What he meant was that Lele must be tired after a hard day, and would fall asleep in a few minutes.Yan Daoming told Lele stubbornly to let him sleep in the room by himself.Lan Yun saw that Lele's eye circles were red, and a pair of small tears flowed down quietly.Lele quickly rubbed her eyes with both hands, but didn't cry out.

Lan Yun was surprised by Lele's performance.A 5-year-old boy, if he cries, he should cry loudly!How can you be so depressed?Lanyun came over and drove Yan Daoming away, took Lele's hand and said, "How about Lele sleeping with Auntie today? Auntie will tell Lele the story of 'Little Prince'." Lele's eyes were full of tears. The little face nodded, and Yan Daoming said to Lanyun, "You can't spoil him!" Lan Yun responded to him: "He has grown so big, have you gotten used to him?" Yan Daoming was speechless.Lanyun said: "The first day I saw you, you were eager to set up rules before you even had family affection. What would the child think? He has never slept by himself before, never been close to his parents, and never left his town. .He has to face so many new things, let him get used to it little by little!"

Yan Daoming had no choice but to obey Lanyun's order and took Lele to take a bath.Lele may have never taken a shower, and she is instinctively afraid of the water column rushing down from above her head.But because I was also a little afraid of the father in front of me, I had to endure it.The water rushed to his face, and he couldn't open his eyes immediately. Lele cried out in fear, and said in a crying voice: "Eyes...eyes..." Yan Daoming frantically wiped Lele with a towel, and Lele grabbed the towel Pile it on the eyes and hide in the water column.Yan Daoming felt sad for a while, Lele's series of actions and reactions resembled a frightened kitten or puppy.

Lanyun stood outside the bathroom door holding a towel, waiting for Lele to come out.It took a long time for Yan Daoming to finish taking a shower and call Lan Yun inside.Lanyun pushed open the door, and the wet Lele stood there in shock, covered in drops of water, shivering.Lanyun said to Yan Daoming angrily: "Why didn't you wipe the water off for the child?" Yan Daoming himself was covered in water and was in a hurry.Lan Yun quickly wrapped the bath towel around Lele, hugged Lele and ran to the bed.It was the first time for Yan Daoming to see the thin and thin Lanyun have such great strength.

Lanyun quickly pulled off the quilt to cover Lele, and wiped off the water on Lele's head and body with a bath towel.Lele was still shaking in the cold quilt, and Lanyun hugged him tightly.Lan Yun was also in a hurry to turn on the TV and tuned to "Pleasant Goat".Seeing Red Wolf beating Big Big Wolf with a pan, Lele giggled. Blue Yun only let Lele watch one episode of cartoons.Lanyun told Lele that watching TV for a long time is not good for children's eyes.Lele agreed sensibly.Lan Yun asked Yan Daoming to turn off the headlights, Lele subconsciously leaned against Lan Yun, Lan Yun quickly turned on the desk lamp, picked it up and told Lele a story.Lele fell asleep in the story, with her little hand on Lan Yun's arm before going to sleep.A trace of sadness welled up in Lanyun's heart, Lele was so pitiful.

Yan Daoming heard that there was no sound in the bedroom, so he slipped in quietly.The desk lamp was still on, and Lan Yun quietly watched Lele's little face.Yan Daoming lay beside his wife and whispered, "Sleeping?" Lan Yun's eyes didn't move, and said, "He's like an angel when he's asleep. Lele still looks a lot like you." Yan Daoming said: "Biologically, the first child is like the father. This is the law of survival, which means telling the male animal that this is yours and you have to raise it." Lan Yun said: "So you are not even a biological father. What can I say about you!"

To Yan Daoming, such words were no longer reprimands, but comfort to his ears.At this time, Yan Daoming decided that for Lele, Lan Yun was more suitable than anyone else to be his mother.In this woman, motherhood is natural and innate. Yan Daoming asked Lanyun, "Are we looking for a nanny? Or what?" Lanyun said: "I'm going to the kindergarten tomorrow. I have already greeted the department a few days ago, and the director gave me a letter of introduction. Lele should be in middle school and has to be transferred. I will take Lele to see it tomorrow." Yan Daoming said worriedly: "Is it okay? Lele didn't even learn to count or read at their house. I heard that the kindergarten class in your school started to learn to read, and the middle class learned to read the piano. Lele won't fail to keep up!" Lanyun said: "It's not as evil as you said. Some children are ahead of their time in catching, and some don't learn much. I asked the teacher and they can keep up. Let's take it slow and learn bit by bit." The next day, Lanyun brought Lele to the kindergarten.The department's administrative secretary had already greeted the kindergarten and issued a letter of introduction to Lanyun.Lan Yun took Lele straight to the director's office.The principal is a fat middle-aged woman with good skin, probably because she has been with the children for a long time, the expression on her face is a bit exaggerated in Lan Yun's eyes.The eyes are wide open, shining even behind the glasses.The smile is professional, it is always on the face, even when complaining to Lanyun that there are too many children and the number of teachers is limited, he still said it with a smile.Seeing this smiling face, Lan Yun felt a bit of warmth in her heart.It doesn't matter whether she smiles to herself or not, but to her children, it matters a lot. The principal of the kindergarten called and asked other teachers to take Lele to visit the kindergarten first, and then said to Lanyun himself: "Accordingly, we don't want to accept children who transfer in. You see, in our kindergarten, the children are all from The parent-child class came up step by step. Now that educational resources are so scarce, the facilities in the class are full of radishes and pits. It is difficult to add a small bed. But because you have an old relationship with the leaders of our department, you are Our school teacher, we are really reluctant this time." Lanyun hurriedly thanked her, and kept saying that she had caused trouble to the principal. The principal of the kindergarten looked at Lele’s situation and said, “My child used to live in Shaanxi, right? I don’t think he has any experience of receiving preschool education. In this case, you have to be mentally prepared to be inserted into the middle class for the first few months. It may be that they are not used to it. Now the teachers in the middle class have to teach children a lot of content, in addition to music, body, physical education, art, handicrafts, they also need to teach children to use pencils and brushes correctly. Numbers. I'm afraid your children will have to learn them from scratch." Lan Yun said: "Could you please ask the teacher, our family Yan Le may be lagging behind in this aspect, you see..." The principal said: "I will communicate with the teacher in charge of these matters. But you also need to do more work. One is to observe the psychological trend of the child after returning home. He may have a sense of inferiority and frustration; the other is to work harder. , Try to catch up as much as possible, which will help his life in the kindergarten. Otherwise, when he feels that everything is not as good as others, he doesn't want to come." The director also told me that in the first two weeks, crying is a must.Especially children like Lele who have never lived in a group life.And it's possible to get sick. Children over 4 years old have lost the immunity brought by their mothers, and their own immune system is not yet developed. Now sometimes when the seasons change, we must pay more attention. Respiratory tract infections and diarrhea are common diseases.Lan Yun hurriedly wrote it down.In the end, the principal asked Lanyun to take the child to the designated hospital for a physical examination, and handed back the physical examination report after the completion.Let the child stay today, pick him up at 5:30 in the evening, and we will also observe the child's situation. Lan Yun left anxiously, calling Yan Daoming immediately after leaving the house.Yan Daoming was obviously nervous when he heard Lan Yun's voice on the phone, he comforted Lan Yun in turn, saying it was okay, Lele was fine.You have done so much for Lele, Lele will understand, and he will be obedient. Lan Yun suddenly exclaimed: "I forgot to tell the teacher, Lele is timid, he won't be bullied by other children, right?" Yan Daoming said: "No, no, Lele never takes the initiative to bully others. Why do others bully him?" Lan Yun was restless and wanted to pass this time, so she ran to find Jianning after deliberation.Jian Ning took Lanyun to have lunch near the company, and listened to Lanyun's description of her life in the past few days.Jian Ning said directly: "I have taken YOU! Are you really going to be a stepmother?" Lan Yun said: "You didn't see the child's eyes, it's so pitiful. It's been three years, and I haven't seen my parents and grandma, and it's the same as having a mother. If this kind of thing happens, what can you do?" Jian Ning asked: "So, you forgive Yan Daoming? Are you all right?" Lan Yun said: "At first I still had resentment, but these days I have learned from his ex-wife. Now that I think about it, he needs courage to remarry. If it was me, I would have already suffered from marriage phobia." Lan Yun said the previous paragraph Time and Yan Daoming's ex-wife's battle of wits and courage was briefly explained, and Jian Ning was engrossed in listening, it was like acting in a movie!Jian Ning said: "That means everything is going well. OK, I can rest assured." Lanyun said: "But today Lele is going to kindergarten for the first time, and I am very uneasy. The other children are as handsome as yours. They learn from this and that. Lele has been living in the valley of Zhenping County for the past two years. He just stays here, doesn't know anything, and has a Shaanxi accent, do you think other kids will look down on him and bully him!" Jian Ning said: "Lan Yun, you have to change your role from now on, you are the 'mother'. Any problems your child encounters in the future will be your problems. You can't escape, you can't escape, you have to Be mentally prepared to deal with everything. A little boy like your son, who has not been around his parents, must be very fragile mentally. He is new here, and he will get sick several times. You have to be prepared." Lan Yun said, "You said 'your son', why am I so uncomfortable?" Jian Ning said: "You have to adapt. You have to adapt. Since you choose to bear it, he is your son. No matter when he calls you 'mother', your identity and role have been determined."
