"Heaven, probably in people's hearts."
Cheng Yan was naturally a little scared after being 'bullied' so willingly. For several days, he didn't dare to stay overnight. After all, he was always worried and didn't want to add any 'childhood shadow' to Huo Xiaoman.
But after this incident, after a period of time, Cheng Yan also found that Huo Xiaoman didn't seem to have any concept of these things, and he didn't think much about it, as if he was really her brother, as long as he had nothing to do Just play with her.
It's just that Cheng Yan's worries are not unreasonable.
end of March.
The case of Cheng Yan and his project team is over, and the work on Huo Sheng's side has just begun.
Huo Sheng didn't have time to pick up Huo Xiaoman from school, so this task naturally fell on Cheng Yan.
Cheng Yanben had received Huo Xiaoman several times before, and he was familiar with the kindergarten teacher a lot. Therefore, as usual, he arrived at the door of the kindergarten ten minutes earlier to wait for her.
When the school bell rang, Cheng Yanzheng turned his body sideways and looked in from the door. I saw Huo Xiaoman with two small hair balls on his back, carrying the schoolbag that Cheng Yanxin bought for her on Saturday, followed the teacher out of the classroom door, stretched out his head and looked out.
When Huo Xiaoman saw the person who came to pick her up, he immediately grinned and escaped from the teacher's care and ran out. When he got there, he wrapped his arms around Cheng Yan's neck and shouted with Cheng Yan with a smile, "Brother, hug."
Cheng Yan wrapped her around her and gave her a warm hug. When he looked up again, he saw that the teacher had followed him out of nowhere, stood aside, and looked at them with a slight smile.
Seeing this, Cheng Yan got up quickly, thanked the teacher, and asked, "Is something wrong?"
As a result, before the teacher could speak, a boy who came out of the small door behind the teacher came to Huo Xiaoman's side and asked directly, "Huo Xiaoman, is your mother here?"
Cheng Yan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this question, and unsurprisingly, he did see Huo Xiaoman holding his hand as if he was using a little force, and the whole person also shrank to his side.
Cheng Yan suddenly recalled how he felt when he was asked by the teacher if his father could come to the parent-teacher meeting.
But the children in kindergarten were different from him at that time, most of them were simply curious, and when Cheng Yan thought about it, he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Immediately, when the teacher squatted down in a hurry, he pulled the child and asked him which place he wanted to take in the sports meeting. The child turned his attention a little, stared at the teacher, and said with a smile that he wanted to take the first place.
Huo Xiaoman grabbed Cheng Yan's hand, hid half of his body behind him, and listened to the conversation between the teacher and the child with his ears sideways.
Fortunately, the child's mother came shortly after, and followed the teacher with a few words of greetings, and took the person away.
After the child left, the teacher hurriedly ran over to apologize to Cheng Yan.
Cheng Yan said in a low voice, "It's okay, are you looking for me for something?" The teacher explained again, "It's about the sports meeting."
The teacher said with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "In previous years, we also held a sports meeting, and we required parents to be there. Last year, Xiaoman's father seemed to be on a business trip and couldn't move, so it was Xiaoman's aunt who came that day. But Because I saw that she was a little lost that day, I told her father once that he would definitely participate this year."
"It's just that most of the children don't understand some things." Halfway through the sentence, the teacher looked up at him, "I see that you often come to pick up Xiaoman. I wonder if you know the situation at her house?"
"Well, I know, you continue to say." Cheng Yan nodded.
"So...how to say, I hope you can communicate with her father, no matter what, it is good to have a parent." The teacher said.
"Well," Cheng Yan replied, "then I know."
The teacher squatted down with a smile and held hands with Xiaoman, asking her to be obedient, go home and have a good meal, and then turned to communicate with other parents.
When the teacher was talking to Cheng Yan, Cheng Yan subconsciously covered Huo Xiaoman's ears with his hands for a moment. He doesn't care how much Huo Xiaoman has heard, or whether he can understand the teacher's words about 'a parent', but he doesn't want her to hear in his heart.
So when Huo Xiaoman said goodbye to the teacher, raised his head again and looked at him suspiciously, he picked him up without thinking, and walked back while saying that he was going to make peach cake for her today.
Cheng Yan didn't know how much Huo Sheng had explained to her about her mother. He didn't know whether such a young child could understand the death of his relatives, but in Cheng Yan's heart, it was true that he felt sorry for Huo Xiaoman, and it was also true that he didn't know how to deal with it, so what he could do was in the end. Just stay with her, cook her something delicious, and make her happy.
Cheng Yan was sitting at the dining table, watching Huo Xiaoman, who was staring at the TV in the living room, who was not like he was frantic everywhere, and couldn't help sighing.
Pour the egg mixture into a paper cup and place in the oven. Cheng Yan looked at the living room and thought for a moment, but still sent a text message to Huo Sheng and asked: [When are you going home?]
But I don't want to, Huo Sheng was really busy today. After an hour, when the cakes were all baked, he received a reply from Huo Sheng, saying "Something goes wrong and you have to work late, you must bring Xiaoman first." sleep.]
[it is good.] Cheng Yan didn't want to disturb his work, so after hesitating, he agreed and didn't say much.
Fortunately, the little cake did play a role, and Huo Xiaoman's mood seemed to be much better.
The two watched TV together in the living room. After watching TV, Huo Xiaoman asked her to sleep half an hour later.
It's just that Cheng Yan thought that the day was coming to an end, everything was going well, and it was considered a safe end, but he didn't want Huo Xiaoman to lie in bed and stay quietly for a while, but turned his head and asked Cheng Yan a question. question.
"Brother, where is heaven?" she asked.
Cheng Yan didn't know if Huo Sheng told her, so he had to explain: "Heaven is a far away place."
"I know, Dad said the same thing." Her tone was a little lost, she thought about it, and then asked, "Will that be farther than the aunt's house?"
"Well, it's still farther." Cheng Yan replied softly.
Huo Xiaoman thought again and asked, "Then, can Dad's car go?"
"Can go," Cheng Yan looked at her, couldn't bear to tell the truth, and explained, "But it will take a long time, until Xiaoman will grow up."
"Oh," Huo Xiaoman tilted his head and murmured, "Then... Then, Xiaoman, don't go, Dad is busy, don't go, and Xiaoman won't go either."
"But," she said hesitantly after lying there for a while, "they all have mothers."
"Well," Cheng Yan nodded, "Xiaoman also has a mother, not worse than them."
Hearing this, Huo Xiaoman turned his head to look at him.
Cheng Yan saw it, raised his hand with a smile and pushed the little guy's bangs away from his eyes, and then said slowly: "Your mother must miss you very much, but she is far away now and is very busy, so I can't to see you."
"Well." Huo Xiaoman blinked, as if accepting the statement, smiled at Cheng Yan, and burrowed into the bed.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Yan felt a little flustered in his heart.
Fortunately, as soon as the voice fell, the door outside made a sound of unlocking.
Cheng Yan listened to the movement and knew that Huo Sheng was back, so he whispered, "Go to sleep, your father is back."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice fell, a voice suddenly appeared behind him and asked them with a smile, "It's past eleven, why haven't you slept yet."
I saw Huo Sheng pulling his tie and walking towards the bed.
When Huo Xiaoman heard the sound, he sat up from the bed, stretched his neck, and said to the person, "Dad, the sports meeting, Xiaoman wants to go."
"Didn't I go last year? Naturally I will go this year." Huo Sheng didn't understand what she meant for a while.
When the conversation was over, Xiaoman said with a bit of grievance, "Auntie doesn't like it."
Hearing this, Huo Sheng reluctantly explained to Cheng Yan first: "My sister went with her last year, and she doesn't like this kind of activity very much."
"Then, let me accompany her this year." Cheng Yan answered directly.
"Then you take a day off, let's go together." Huo Sheng patted him on the shoulder, squatted down beside the bed, and asked Xiaoman, "Will my father and brother Cheng Yan accompany you to the sports meeting this year?"
"Together?" Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment.
Then, before he could react, he heard Huo Sheng say to Huo Xiaoman again with great certainty: "Dad has already asked for a good leave that day, and then I and your brother Cheng Yan will go get you a championship together, OK?"
When Huo Xiaoman heard this, he grinned and nodded twice, "Yeah!"
