That expression made Southwest feel incredibly embarrassed; his face burned with embarrassment. He had been so confident yesterday, but today he was proven wrong.
Suddenly, they saw a girl walk out of the kitchen and walk towards them with a bright smile on her face.
What's going on? The child broke his arm. Could it be related to this girl?
The facial muscles of several people were somewhat out of control; there had been too many unexpected events today, and they hadn't had time to process them.
The girl put down the dishes, looked at Yan Xiaonan and said, "Hello Yan Xiaonan, I'm Liu Lili, a classmate from Southwest."
"I heard that his youngest son broke his hand, so I wanted to come and see him. Then Yan Xinan invited me to have dinner at your house." Liu Lili shifted all the blame to Xinan.
Yan Xiaonan glanced at Xinan, who looked embarrassed: "Nannan, don't misunderstand, Liu Lili and I are classmates."
Yan Xiaonan quickly looked at Liu Lili, the little girl smiled innocently and nodded in response to Southwest's words.
I must have misunderstood.
Yan Aidang glanced at Southwest and tried to smooth things over, saying, "I'm hungry. Let me try Southwest's cooking."
Ye Chen'er nodded and went with Yan Aidang to the kitchen to help get the bowls, chopsticks and food.
Yan Xiaonan looked around and asked, "Mom, is Wu Jinban back yet?"
When Wu Jinban heard Yan Xiaonan's voice in the living room, he quickly came out: "Auntie, I'm doing my homework, I'll be right there."
When Liu Lili saw Wu Jinban, she smiled and took out a few candies from her pocket: "You must be Yan Xinan's eldest son, Wu Jinban. Here, have some candy."
Wu Jinban glanced at Liu Lili, then at Southwest, and walked towards the kitchen without saying a word.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward, and Southwest's face turned red again. He didn't want Wu Jinban to have any thoughts about it, because he himself didn't have any thoughts about it.
Liu Lili didn't mind at all and put the candy back in her pocket: "Southwest classmate, let's go in and eat too."
"Nan Nan, why don't you try my cooking and give me your feedback?"
Yan Xiaonan chuckled dryly, remarking on the meal.
Time flies. Three months later, Duoduo's hand had recovered, and he had been taken back to the staff dormitory by his mother.
Everyone says that a golden house or a silver house is not as good as one's own thatched hut. As soon as Tang Mu returned to her thatched hut, she felt completely comfortable.
Now she has learned her lesson and dares not leave Duoduo alone at home, so she takes the little one with her wherever she goes.
Yan Xinan has accepted reality and agreed to let Tang's mother take care of Duoduo. After all, the staff dormitory is not their hometown; it's all single-story houses, so a child falling down won't cause any serious injury.
This is the third floor. If something unexpected happens, it will be too late to regret it. Moreover, Duoduo is at a playful and active age, so we can't be careless at all.
Life in Southwest became very regular. Every morning I went to school, in the afternoon I worked at the furniture factory, and on weekends I took Duoduo back to the courtyard house.
Kindergarten registration has been completed, and preparations have begun, with all sorts of toys, books, and teaching tools gradually arriving.
The staff kindergarten also offers small, medium, and large classes. The large class has the most children, so two separate classes were specially opened for them.
The small playground is equipped with outdoor facilities for children, such as seesaws, slides, and even a circular running track.
Each class is equipped with two teachers, and smoke is rising from the kindergarten's canteen. People passing by take a deep breath and say, "It smells so good!"
Yan Xiaonan also specially arranged for a cleaning lady and a security guard, and formulated rules and regulations, especially stipulating that children who are not picked up by their parents are not allowed to be released after class.
Duoduo will be a kindergarten student in two days. She is so happy that she goes for a stroll around the fairytale-like kindergarten gate every day.
Seeing her son so happy, Southwest decided to go to the department store to buy him some clothes after class this morning.
Liu Lili was waiting at the school gate early in the morning, and when she saw Southwest, she quickly handed him the bag she was holding.
Southwest was confused. Liu Lili stretched out her hand and said, "Here you go. These are clothes that I'm giving to Duoduo and Wujinban to wear when they go back to school."
Southwest refused, saying that he couldn't let a girl spend money on his son's schooling.
"Yan Xinan, listen to me, I want to be your girlfriend." Liu Lili didn't want to be reserved with a blockhead anymore, because he didn't understand romance.
Yan Xinan didn't really understand; he just felt that with his current circumstances, he was not good enough for Liu Lili.
“Liu Lili, I’m divorced and have two sons, so I’m not good enough for you,” Southwest said frankly.
Liu Lili laughed: "Southwest, let's not talk about whether you're good enough for me or not. Do you even have any feelings for me?"
Yan Xinan nodded: "Of course I have feelings for her, but it's just the kind of feelings between classmates. Really, Liu Lili, you're a great catch, you'll definitely find a good man."
Liu Lili shoved the bag into Xinan's hand: "That's a matter for the future. Anyway, right now I want to make progress together with you. I hope Comrade Yan Xinan can carry forward the spirit of helping his classmates."
Southwest looked at the bag in her hand and at Liu Lili who was leaving quickly. Was this a declaration of love for her?
Yan Xinan shook his head. Despite his considerable monthly income and even greater year-end bonus, his burden was still quite heavy.
He has to raise two children and provide for his parents' retirement. Although his parents don't need it, you can't leave them without giving them something, and there are also New Year's gifts from your master.
Now that his master and mistress are helping to take care of the children, he also wants to fulfill his filial duties to them.
Don't be fooled by the five yuan here and ten yuan there; it adds up to quite a bit, not to mention the money owed for the staff housing.
Don't ask why you don't live in the house that Bei Nan gave you. Southwest has already lent it out, and all the income is saved up so that if Bei Nan runs out of money in the future, you'll have a way out.
On September 1st, the first day of school, Cuihua and Yan Xiaoqiang took Wu Jinban to school.
Tang's mother and Yan Xinan took Duo Duo to kindergarten. The kindergarten teachers stood at the classroom door, waiting for each child.
The teacher in charge of the small class is very sweet-looking, and her dimples are revealed when she smiles slightly.
"You must be Yan Dongbao. I'm Teacher Lin."
"Duoduo, you should greet Teacher Lin early," Yan Xinan urged.
"Good morning, Teacher Lin. I'm Yan Dongbao. You can call me Duoduo, that's what my dad and grandma call me," Duoduo said in a very mature tone.
Teacher Lin nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll call you Yan Dongbao when I call roll, and Duoduo at other times."
Duo Duo nodded; he liked this gentle teacher.
"You are Yan Dongbao's father. I would like to ask who usually picks up the child from school. I need to know that."
“I will come, and his maternal grandparents will also come. I will let you know if his paternal grandparents come as well.” Southwest was very cooperative.
"Then can't his mother come?" Teacher Lin knew she shouldn't have asked this question, but for the child's safety, she still asked it.
