When Xiaohua arrived home, her aunt had already taken Kang'an home. Xiaohua immediately put on a bright, sunny smile and squatted down, letting Kang'an quickly run into her arms.
Then she lifted Kang'an high in the air and spun her around a few times, making Kang'an laugh out loud. Then she hugged Kang'an tightly in her arms and kissed her on both cheeks a few times. After doing all these things, the mother and daughter lay on the bed and looked at each other and laughed.
Happiness is actually very simple.
Kang An wanted to eat Xiao Hua's cola chicken wings. Although Auntie followed Xiao Hua's recipe to make cola chicken wings, none of them tasted as good as Xiao Hua's.
Kang An wanted to eat the cola chicken wings her mother made, saying that her mother was getting busier and busier, and she didn't have a chance to eat her mother's cooking anymore. Before, even when her mother was busy, she would cook for her every day.
But since we hired a housekeeper, she has rarely cooked for him.
It had been a long time since she had eaten her mother's cooking. Thinking of this, Kang An couldn't help but tear up, which made Xiao Hua feel sorry for her and quickly reach out her fingers to wipe her eyes: "I'm sorry, baby, it's all my fault. I've neglected you lately."
Thinking about it, I realize I've been really excessive lately, thinking that it doesn't matter if she has her father to accompany her and I, as her mother, spend less time with her.
During the past few months that He Yan has been here, Xiao Hua has almost completely ignored her daughter, so it's understandable that her daughter is angry with her now.
Xiaohua looked at her daughter's tears still clinging to her eyelashes, and tenderly kissed them twice before promising her daughter.
"Mom will make it for you right away, baby. Don't cry. Your tears are breaking my heart."
“Okay, then I’ll do it with Mom and I’ll help her.”
After hearing what Xiaohua said, Kang'an immediately went to the kitchen to make her cola chicken wings, and Xiaohua was immediately pleased and took her mother's hand to the kitchen.
It has to be said that children are so innocent, especially these little girls who are just over three years old. They are really easy to coax. If you give them a little something, they will be so happy that they forget everything else.
Xiaohua initially wanted to stop Kang'an from helping her, but then she thought that children just want to participate and play with you.
She could have finished in just over 20 minutes, but with her help, she estimated it would take her an hour.
But seeing how happy her daughter was, she couldn't bear to ignore her feelings and could only play with her.
As soon as the cola chicken wings were ready, Kang An pestered Xiao Hua to eat with her. At that moment, Xiao Hua really felt that it was great to have He Yan around.
At least he can arrange things for the children perfectly, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
She could then focus on her own things without any distractions. Now that the child's father has left, the child is now clinging to her.
Xiaohua reached out and looked at her watch, calculating the time. If Kang En ate relatively quickly, she would still be able to make it to school in time.
However, if she eats very slowly, she will most likely be late.
However, her daughter ate at a pace slower than a coal-hauling green train.
Oh well, so be it if she's late. She didn't do it on purpose, and it wasn't because she was eating, drinking, or having fun that she was late.
She had no choice but to stay home to take care of the children, and once she thought about it that way, she felt no more distress.
Just then, there was a knock on her door. Before they could open it, they heard a loud voice outside calling out, "Xiaohua, open the door! I've come to pick up the child."
Xiao Hua was a little surprised. Why would Commander He come?
Xiao Hua quickly got up to open the door. Commander He stood at the door with an upright demeanor. He didn't look like someone who came to see or pick up a child, but rather someone who came to punish evil and promote good.
"Commander He."
Xiao Hua greeted them somewhat stiffly.
"What, you won't even call me 'Dad' anymore?" Commander He forced a smile onto his hard face, which seemed particularly abrupt.
Xiaohua shook her head: "No."
Xiao Hua thought to herself that even when he and He Yan were still married, she had never called him "Dad."
It's not strange to call him Commander He now!
The way he said it made it sound like she used to be very close to them, and that she'd only become distant now that they were divorced.
"I'm on vacation and I'd like to take the kids home in a few days. Would you allow that?"
I glanced at Kang An and said to Commander He, "Why would I object? As long as the child is willing, that's fine. We should respect the child's opinion."
After Xiaohua finished speaking, she went to ask Kang An's opinion: "Baby, your grandpa wants to take you to his house for a while, do you want to go?"
Actually, even without Kang An's answer, Xiao Hua knew that she didn't want to go. She had never been there before. Apart from He Yan, she didn't know anyone else in that family.
Besides, He Yan isn't home either.
Kang An tugged at her mother's sleeve, hid behind her, shook her head, and whispered, "Mom, I don't want to go. Please don't make me go."
Although Kang An's voice was very soft, Commander He heard it. He squatted down and pulled Kang An out from behind Xiao Hua: "Come on, come with Grandpa to my house. Grandpa will buy you candy."
Kang An shook off Commander He's hand: "I don't want to, I don't want to eat candy, eating candy will give me cavities."
When Commander He saw that the child refused to go with him, he gave up.
"Your divorce with He Yan has been finalized. The divorce certificate is with He Yan. He will give it to you personally when he returns from the army."
Although you are no longer legally married, you have a child together in real life. You should strive to maintain a harmonious relationship for the sake of the child.
When Xiaohua heard that her divorce proceedings with He Yan had been completed and that they had truly ended their arranged marriage, a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.
"He Yan and I don't have any conflicts. Now that we're divorced, we won't argue anymore. Commander He, you can rest assured about that."
Commander He nodded, squatted down and talked to Kang An for a while. He did most of the talking, and the child either nodded or shook his head.
Finally, Commander He also found it extremely boring, so he got up and said goodbye to Xiaohua and the child.
They said they would come to see the child again in the future and left the child a generous red envelope.
Xiaohua didn't want to accept it, but Commander He said it was money he was giving to his granddaughter, not to her, so why shouldn't she accept it?
Xiaohua didn't want to get into an endless tug-of-war with an elder over a red envelope.
After Commander He left, Xiao Hua opened the red envelope and counted the money. There was a full two thousand yuan, which was a lot of money.
This money was given by the grandfather to his granddaughter, not to her, his former daughter-in-law, so naturally she couldn't spend it.
She then said to Kang An, "This money was given to you by your grandfather. I'll put it in a savings account for you later, and you can manage it yourself when you grow up."
