"I like it, I like Xiaoman's father."
"Brother Cheng Yan."
The little girl held Cheng Yan's mobile phone in one hand, and wiped tears on her face in the other, and walked over to him in three steps with red eyes. Seeing Cheng Yan's reluctance to part with the teacher, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he couldn't help thinking in his heart, if it wasn't for Liang Chenlai, it would be much better.
But without waiting for him to think about it, the little girl just stretched out her hand and held his hand, and the touch of the palm of her hand was a little soft, which made him swallow the regret just now.
Cheng Yan is not tall, but for a 4-year-old girl, the gap is still bigger.
Fortunately, his walking speed was slow, and it was not difficult to follow him.
Cheng Yan held her hand, which was less than half the size of her palm, and lowered her head to ask her, "What's your name?"
The little girl raised her head, her mouth was half-open, looked at Cheng Yan for a while, and replied, "My name is Huo Xiaoman."
After speaking, he sniffed again, looked down at Lu and continued, "My dad said, hiccup, my dad said he wanted him to pick me up."
After listening, Cheng Yan explained: "your father, there is something at work, and he really can't get away. He also wants to come to you."
But what about her mother? Cheng Yan suddenly thought, but he looked down at the little girl in front of him who didn't mention his mother at all, so he closed his mouth and didn't ask the question.
Huo Xiaoman still looked at the road like that. The little leather shoes he was wearing made noises when he stepped on the ground. After a while, he said, "Brother, brother, my father said that if you get more sun, you can grow taller."
"Yes," Cheng Yan replied like a child, "how tall is Xiaoman now?"
Only then did Huo Xiaoman raise his head, and his body twisted while walking. Looking at Cheng Yan, he smiled and said, "I'm growing so fast, I'm one meter tall."
Cheng Yan looked at her smile, squatted down and asked her, "Where does Xiaoman want to go shopping?"
"I want to eat ice cream," Huo Xiaoman whispered, stirring his fingers, "but Dad doesn't tell me to eat too much."
"That's all you can eat. Which one do you like to eat?" Cheng Yan asked again.
Huo Xiaoman immediately pulled out his hand, and while making a circle gesture, he said, "That's it, there's a big ball at the door, it's like cream."
Cheng Yan was stunned by these words for a while, he thought for a moment, and then remembered that there seemed to be something similar at the entrance of the shopping mall not far from the apartment, so he didn't hesitate, and took Huo Xiaoman to walk there slowly.
The weather was so hot that Huo Xiaoman felt unable to walk after walking for a long time. He took off the backpack and stretched his arms straight before handing it to Cheng Yan.
After Cheng Yan took it, he hung one arm on his body, but he didn't take two steps. As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Huo Xiaoman looking at him as if he was a little dissatisfied, and asked him, "Brother, carry it well, Dad said, schoolbag. If the two straps are there, they won't grow crooked."
Hearing this, Cheng Yan smiled and said, "Brother is an adult, so he won't grow crooked anymore."
Huo Xiaoman looked at him suspiciously for a while, as if he had persuaded himself in his heart before letting him go.
The two walked for about 20 minutes and arrived in front of the mall.
Cheng Yan looked at the earth sculpture standing in front of the door, and then looked at Huo Xiaoman. Sure enough, Huo Xiaoman pointed to a planetary ice cream next to it and said, "That's it."
It took a while for Cheng Yan to sigh that the child's ability to describe is still good.
It was probably because the two had been in contact for a while, and they were both familiar with each other.
The tears on Huo Xiaoman's face disappeared. When he entered the store, he sat on the chair by the window with the ice cream cup in his arms, digging spoonfuls by spoonfuls.
Cheng Yan took out his mobile phone and saved the number of the call record he just called into his mobile phone.
Then I searched WeChat with the number, and after hesitating for a few seconds, it was still not added.
But when he thought about it, he turned his head and saw Huo Xiaoman holding a spoon and looking at him.
Cheng Yan asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Huo Xiaoman tilted his head and looked at it, then poked his finger directly on the lenses of Cheng Yan's glasses, which startled him.
Seeing this reaction, Huo Xiaoman blinked and asked again, "Brother, what is this? We have a classmate in kindergarten, but they are round."
Cheng Yan laughed, got closer, and told her, "These are glasses. If you don't protect your eyes, you will need such things."
Huo Xiaoman said again, "Brother, I want to see it."
"Are glasses?" Cheng Yan asked.
Immediately, the little girl who was sitting beside her was nodding her head twice.
Cheng Yan hesitated for a moment, but still handed it over, but he didn't want someone to pass by, and the plate he was holding accidentally bumped into him, and the glasses flew out like this.
His vision suddenly blurred, and Cheng Yan was about to ask where the glasses had fallen while listening to the sound of apology beside him, when he heard a sound similar to cracking plastic, and the person beside him quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, the glasses fell out. Was accidentally trampled to pieces."
Cheng Yan also felt a little troublesome now, and Huo Xiaoman's voice sounded like he was about to cry.
He hurriedly stroked the child's back and told her softly, "It's okay, Xiaoman, don't worry."
Then, while looking for the contact lens box in the bag, he said to the person who apologized next to him, "It's okay, it's going to be replaced anyway, you go first, it's alright."
Although Cheng Yan keeps contact lenses in his bag all the year round, he rarely carries them in his daily life. After all, wearing glasses with frames would always give him a sense of security. But in this situation, there is no other way without it.
Fortunately, after he brought it on, he found that in addition to making his eyes clear again, this process also comforted Huo Xiaoman to some extent.
I saw that the little girl still had some ice cream on her mouth, and although there were still some tears in her eyes, she didn't mean to cry.
She leaned forward and stretched out her hand, and when she got to his eyes, she shrank back. The whole person was as if she had seen some kind of magic, and she felt amazing.
Such an expression made Cheng Yan laugh again, rubbed her head and explained to her, "These are the glasses in the eyes."
"Put it in your eyes?" Huo Xiaoman didn't understand, but she still didn't forget to take a spoonful of ice cream and put it in her mouth, and then said, "Brother, the hairs on your eyes are so long."
Cheng Yan reacted, guessing that she was talking about eyelashes, so he couldn't help laughing at Huo Xiaoman and replied, "You too, it's called eyelashes."
"Eyes plus hair." Huo Xiaoman with a mouthful of ice cream repeated.
Cheng Yan listened, waited for her to swallow it, and then slowly taught her to read it again, "eyelashes," and then said, "Eat, your father might come to pick you up in a while."
Huo Xiaoman hurriedly took a few more bites, and the mouth was full of food.
Cheng Yan wiped her with a tissue, and heard Huo Xiaoman speak again: "Brother, are you and my father a colleague?"
"Yes," Cheng Yan replied, "what's the matter?"
"Then do you like my father?" Huo Xiaoman asked again.
"I like it, I like Xiaoman's father." Although Cheng Yan knew that Huo Xiaoman's question was not what he was afraid of, he was still stunned for two seconds before answering again.
"Then do you think my father is fierce?" Huo Xiaoman pushed away the ice cream cup in his arms, then grabbed Cheng Yan's sleeve and asked him.
Cheng Yan suddenly felt a little strange, "Why is Xiaoman asking this?"
Huo Xiaoman looked a little unhappy, and his mouth was pouted, as if he was talking to someone, "I was sick last week, and Dad was so angry."
"Why is your father angry?" Cheng Yan was puzzled.
"I don't know, he's just very angry, I see Dad here," Huo Xiaoman stretched out his hand, squeezed his eyebrows and fingers together, and continued: "Here, it's all together, don't laugh, just Must be angry."
Cheng Yan smiled clearly and said, "Then did you ask him?"
Huo Xiaoman shook his head, and his eyelashes flickered several times.
I saw Cheng Yan raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said, "your father is not angry, he is worried about you."
"Worried? Are you really angry?" Huo Xiaoman asked again in disbelief.
"No, I promise you." Cheng Yan said, and raised three fingers in a swearing gesture.
Huo Xiaoman became happy then, and then asked, "Brother Cheng Yan, do you like going to the playground?"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yan's cell phone rang.
Cheng Yan glanced at it, whispered to Huo Xiaoman, "your father's phone", and answered.
Then I heard Huo Sheng say from the opposite side: "Where are you, I'll pick you up."
Cheng Yan looked at Huo Xiaoman and looked at himself on the phone, and when the call was over, he quickly smiled and said to her, "Look, your father was worried about you and said he would come here to pick you up."
And Huo Xiaoman grinned happily, raised his hand and cheered, "Dad picks us up."
