The song "In the Fields of Hope" was playing on the radio. Zhou Jingyun was standing by the door and noticed out of the corner of his eye that the red silk cloth in the east room suddenly bulged out.
Dabao's pigtails were exposed.
With a "clang", the chrome wrench hit the blue brick floor, startling the black cat on the ground and making it jump three feet high.
It even broke a porcelain bowl next to it.
Just as Zhou Jingyun was about to explode, he saw Erbao holding a screwdriver and poking at the honeycomb coal stove.
Sparks flew onto the stove cloth, burning a hole in it.
Zhou Jingyun rushed forward in two steps, and the soles of his shoes crushed the wheat grains scattered on the ground - those were the wheat grains that Dabao scooped out from the grain jar to feed the sparrows.
"Dad!" Dabao pointed anxiously at the ground, "You crushed all the food I made for the sparrow!"
Zhou Jingyun's temples were throbbing.
Thinking back to the hundred-day party, and the joy I felt at having a pair of children, I now feel overwhelmed.
"The wheat is scattered all over the ground. You take your brother to the tree and reflect on your mistakes."
He said with a cold face.
The eldest son Zhou Zhaoning's nickname is Suisui, and the second son Zhou Yanchi's nickname is An'an.
Chi Lanlan gave the siblings the nicknames Sui Sui Ping An.
Zhou Yanchi put his hands on his hips and protested, "I protest. Dad bullied us while Mom was away."
Sui Sui also shouted, "Yes, I protest. Daddy bullied us while Mommy was away. When Mommy comes back, we're going to complain."
Zhou Jingyun glared at them coldly, and the two of them obediently stood under the locust tree outside.
When Chi Lanlan came back, she saw two children drawing circles under the locust tree.
Chi Lanlan asked, "Why are you drawing circles here? What mistakes have you made?"
The brother and sister looked at each other.
Sui Sui spoke first, "Mom, will we be given leniency if we confess?"
Chi Lanlan smiled slightly and said, "That depends on what mistakes you made. If they are unforgivable, confessing them will only give you a little leniency." "But if you don't confess, you'll be in trouble."
"Then let me talk. My brother smashed your makeup mirror with the wrench he had."
When Chi Lanlan heard this, thunder rumbled in the sky.
"An An, tell me clearly why you smashed Mom's mirror?"
An An had a look of grievance on her face, but she didn't say anything, just pursed her lips and remained silent.
Chi Lanlan looked at his awkward expression and had no choice but to squat down and ask, "Tell Mom what happened?"
"Mom, the mirror is broken. Does that mean you don't have to put on makeup or go out?"
Chi Lanlan paused for a moment after hearing his question.
The two children have been taken care of by my mother-in-law.
Her business has been growing bigger and bigger in recent years, and she may have less and less time to spend with her children.
The two children have always been naughty, and she thought it was just their nature to be naughty.
But today she met a teacher who happened to mention that some children are naughty and actually want to attract the attention of their parents.
Now, combined with Xiaobao's words, Chi Lanlan realized that she probably did not give her child a sense of security.
Zhou Jingyun walked over with a cold look, staring at Zhou Yanchi: "An'an, stand still."
Zhou Yanchi paused for a moment, but stood up straight obediently.
Zhou Jingyun asked angrily, "Who broke your mother's makeup mirror?"
Zhou Yanchi shrank his head and didn't say anything, but he looked stubborn.
Chi Lanlan suddenly remembered that when she went out in the morning, An An hugged her legs and shouted, "Don't go."
She was in a hurry because she had an appointment, and was putting on lipstick. She raised her eyelids from the makeup mirror and just gave him a kiss.
She squatted down and asked, "Is it because mommy didn't play with you?"
Suddenly, tears welled up in An An's eyes.
Zhou Jingyun stopped his hand as he was about to hit out.
Chi Lanlan glanced at Zhou Jingyun, then said to An An, "Tell Mom the reason." An An rubbed her hands and finally said, "The mirror... the mirror is broken, so Mom doesn't have to put on perfume before going out..."
At the end he actually cried.
Chi Lanlan quickly hugged Zhou Yanchi: "Mom was in a hurry to go out. It's my fault for not accompanying Dabao and Xiaobao."
"But your father bought the mirror for your mother with three months' salary."
"Those things represent Daddy's love for Mommy, but you smashed Daddy's love for Mommy. Is that okay?"
An An's tears flowed even harder.
Sui Sui suddenly hugged Chi Lanlan's thighs and said, "Mom, please play with us more often in the future."
Chi Lanlan frowned. Perhaps because she had access to information that many people did not have, she always wanted to do something big.
But I ignored the two little ones at home, who are now slowly developing their own thoughts.
"Okay." Chi Lanlan hugged An An, then took Sui Sui's hand and said, "Mom puts on perfume every day when she goes out because she wants customers to think she's respectable, just like An An wraps her textbooks neatly and Sui Sui arranges wheat ears into a small house. But more important than respectability..."
"Your joy and the light in your eyes."
"Mom was wrong. I mistakenly thought I could make more money to bring you happiness, but I ignored that what you need most is my company. I will spend more time with you in the future. Suisui and An'an, what do you think?"
An An stopped crying, hugged Chi Lanlan and said, "An An, be a good boy from now on and don't make your mother angry."
Shui Shui also promised, "An An and I will behave ourselves and not make Mom angry from now on."
Chi Lanlan held the children, one on each side.
Sui Sui kissed Chi Lanlan's cheek and said, "I want to be close to my mother and shine together."
