Tian Tian placed this night light at the head of An An's bed, and An An would tap the night light hard when he needed it.
Tian Tian also bought a cute little bear and put it next to An An, telling An An that if he was scared at night, the little bear would help him defeat the monster.
Only then did An An no longer feel afraid and dared to sleep alone in the room.
Originally, Tian Tian and the others were very worried. During those few nights, Tian Tian stayed outside An An's room to keep an eye on An An, thinking that if An An was scared, they would take An An back to her room.
But fortunately, An An is quite brave and has adapted to having his own room. He even has his own little secret these days and hides his favorite things in a place no one else knows.
Of course, the place where things were hidden would not escape the sharp eyes of Tian Tian, who had to clean the house every day. However, Tian Tian was also happy to respect An An's little secret. Although she knew where those things were hidden, she did not try to open them and take a look, but pretended not to know.
An An was obviously very curious about color TV.
Even if the news on TV was news she didn't like, she would still sit next to the TV and watch it with great interest.
"Don't sit too far from the TV, sit on the sofa." Tian Tian took the time to shout to the outside. After An An heard it, he immediately put his small stool aside obediently, then climbed onto the sofa and sat on it to watch TV.
Seeing An An's rare well-behaved appearance, Tian Tian thought of writing her lesson plan while An An was quiet.
As a result, she hadn't written a few words when An An got tired of watching TV. After turning off the TV, she ran to Tian Tian and Gu Zhao's table and asked, "Mom, why don't we give grandma's family a new TV instead of the old one they've watched?"
Tian Tian didn't expect that An An, at such a young age, would actually notice this matter.
She didn't know how to explain it, so she thought for a while and said, "Because your great-grandmother doesn't want mom to spend more money, so she doesn't want us to buy them a color TV."
"Why don't you want your mother to spend more money?" An An asked.
She doesn't have a clear concept of money now and doesn't know how much a color TV costs.
"Because your great-grandma loves mom, and she doesn't want mom to work too hard to make money. She wants mom to spend more money on us. A TV is very expensive. So your great-grandma is worried that after mom spends money to buy a TV, she will have no money to eat."
An An nodded, not quite understanding.
She couldn't understand much at the moment. Although Tian Tian explained it to her, she didn't understand and kept asking more questions.
Tian Tian could only touch An An's little head and said, "The feelings here are a little complicated. An An can't understand it now, but when you grow up, you will know what your mother meant. Don't worry, okay?"
An An pouted unhappily after hearing this, "When can I grow up? An An is growing up now."
"Okay, Mom and Dad have to go to work. An An, do you want to play with Mom and Dad, or do you want to write with Mom and Dad?"
An An looked up at the pens and notebooks in Gu Zhao and Tian Tian's hands, feeling a little envious, "I want to write with my parents, too.
Gu Zhao went to bring An An's special stool and put it between the two of them. They had specially built a huge table so that the three of them could sit on the table to read and study.
But An An can't write, she can only write 123.
So she scribbled on the paper randomly, and no one except herself could recognize what she was drawing.
But this little girl was so proud of herself that she took the painting to Tian Tian and others to show off.
Tian Tian looked at the very abstract lines above and thought that An An might be able to paint in a more abstract style in the future.
However, An An is only two years old now, so there is no need for her to have such high expectations for An An. It is already great that he can hold the pen steadily now. Therefore, Tian Tian praised An An generously.
"An An's painting is so great. Can you draw a picture for mom next time?" Tian Tian said.
An An's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and she nodded excitedly, "Okay, okay, I'll draw for mom now."
After saying that, An An continued to work hard, while Tian Tian took the time to write her own lesson plan.
An An finished drawing quickly. Tian Tian looked at the paper with a frown on her face. There were no facial features or limbs on the paper. There were a few squiggly black lines. Gu Zhao was really at a loss as to how to praise her. In the end, he could only say, "An An's drawing is great. Show it to Dad and let him see if it looks like Mom."
Hearing Tian Tian's words, An An turned around and went to show the painting to Gu Zhao who was standing beside her.
Gu Zhao often dealt with An An and knew where to praise her. He soon made An An very happy and she became very excited to paint. She buried her head in her painting again.
Tian Tian glanced at Gu Zhao with some complaints. She knew that understanding An An's paintings was more tiring than Tian Tian's work. Especially, she had to find something to praise in a painting that she couldn't understand at all. This was simply making something out of nothing.
However, when Gu Zhao received Tian Tian's complaining look, he grinned, and there was even some pride in his eyes.
Tian Tian was so angry that she wanted to hit Gu Zhao on the head twice.
The two of them took a day off, and one of them took a color TV and ran to Ge Huiyun's home, while the other stayed at home to look after the children.
Gu Zhao, who delivered the color TV, came back very soon. What Tian Tian didn't expect was that Gu Zhao was holding the box that contained the color TV in his hand.
"Why did you bring it back again?" After Tian Tian coaxed An An to sleep, she came out and saw Gu Zhao holding the color TV and struggling to open the door. She hurried over to take the box.
"Don't our mom and the others want it?" Tian Tian looked up and asked Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao turned around and closed the door, then shook his arm, which was a little sore from holding the box, and said, "It's not that mom doesn't want it, but when mom heard that you wanted to send our old TV back home, she also wanted to send the TV back home, so she asked me to bring it to you."
After hearing this, Tian Tian opened the message and saw that it was indeed the TV from Ge Huiyun's house. She was immediately embarrassed.
"What should I do? My mom already has one at home, and she can't take two TVs home to watch. The electricity bill will be high, and my mom will scold me then."
It’s not that Tian Tian doesn’t want to buy a TV for her family, but that Lin Meiyu and Ge Huiyun have different concepts of consumption.
