It's summer again.
Mr. Liu went to buy vegetables after get off work, and then dropped by the kindergarten when he came back to pick up his little grandson.
Four years ago, her grandson was born abroad. On the one hand, the child's parents had no time to take care of the child because of their busy work. On the other hand, they hoped that the child could live in China when they were young, so they communicated with Teacher Liu and sent the child to her.
The grandson, nicknamed Lele, is lively and sensible, and Mr. Liu loves him so much that he can't wait to hold it in the palm of his hand.
She came to the door of the painting class, and Lele, who had been waiting for him for a long time, jumped up from her chair and threw herself into her arms quickly: "Grandma!"
Teacher Liu picked him up, squeezed his little cheek, and asked, "Lele, are you good in class today?"
Like a recitation, Lele shook his head and said, "Lele is very good. Lele painted several paintings today. The teachers all praised Lele, saying that Lele is an excellent little painter."
The child who has just turned four years old speaks fluently and with style. Teacher Liu is very proud and said with a smile, "Lele is awesome!"
Lele put her arms around her grandmother's neck and said wisely, "grandma is also great. Grandma cooks for Lele and grandpa every day, and sometimes for Uncle Fu. She is really a good grandma."
Mr. Liu was amused by him and laughed, and said, "Is it a good grandma to cook for you? What about Grandpa and Uncle Fu, they don't cook for you, are they okay?"
Lele is honest and brave, and he has something to say: "Grandpa is not good. Grandpa reads books in the room every day. He doesn't cook or wash clothes. He is a lazy lazy person."
Teacher Liu couldn't stop laughing. Her husband is a literary editor. He usually reads books or manuscripts at home, and rarely moves.
"What about Uncle Fu?" Teacher Liu said, "Uncle Fu doesn't live with us, how do you know if he's okay?"
When it comes to Uncle Fu, Lele is a little embarrassed: "When Uncle Fu came to Lele's house, he played with Lele with cars and building blocks. He is amazing. The building blocks are so high—" Lele stretched out his arms. "Grandma, you're optimistic. It's so tall that it won't collapse, so Uncle Fu is very powerful, and all powerful people are good people."
"Oh," Mr. Liu pretended to be surprised, "So you think Uncle Fu is good at building blocks, and you think he is a good person, then I have to tell him and make him happy."
"No." Lele shook her grandmother's neck and said, "I'm sorry."
Teacher Liu patted him on the back lovingly, and couldn't bear to tease him any more, so he said, "Okay, okay, grandma will keep it a secret for you, okay?"
Lele twisted her fingers and nodded.
After returning home, Mr. Liu put Lele on the sofa and turned on the TV to show him his favorite cartoons.
She walked to the door of her husband's study, knocked on the door, and called him out to help pick vegetables.
Of course her husband didn't want to. She didn't give up and continued knocking on the door: "Come out quickly, what if you stay in your room all day and give Lele a lazy image?"
There was the sound of a chair being pulled from inside, and the next second, the husband opened the door and came out. Lele is not only Mr. Liu's treasure, but also her husband's treasure. Since Lele came, Mr. Liu did not know how many ways to rectify her husband.
The couple stood side by side in the kitchen preparing dinner. Teacher Liu directed her husband and asked, "Have you figured it out? I called Fu Jia over for dinner tonight. If you agree, I'll let him take Lele away. "
The husband looked at her in shock and said, "You... you, you, why are you in such a hurry?"
Teacher Liu said: "I don't have to do this all the time. How long will I hesitate? I bought the air ticket early in the morning, and I will leave in three days. If you don't want to go, don't go. I'm too lazy to care about you."
The couple were arguing about her trip abroad in three days. Since Lele came to her, the couple have not gone out to play, and have been tied at home to take care of their children all year round. Recently, their mutual friends for many years invited them to travel. The couple were very excited and wanted to go, but they were worried that no one would take care of Lele.
So Mr. Liu proposed to entrust Lele to Fu Jia within a week when they went out to play.
The husband disagreed, thinking that Fu Jia, a bachelor, would take care of the children. Teacher Liu has so many good sisters and good students, why not let those who have been mothers take care of Lele
Mr. Liu insisted on not wanting others, and her husband also insisted that he would not go out of his temper. This turned into a situation where one of the two bought a ticket and the other didn't.
"Sigh... I really don't understand, where does your sense of responsibility towards Fu Jia come from." The husband said.
Teacher Liu raised his eyebrows: "You know my relationship with Qi An, why do you still ask this question?"
Knowing her, her husband knew that she would get angry when she raised this question, so he quickly changed the subject: "Well, then this is not the reason to let Lele go, what if it's your wishful thinking, how long do you think Lele should stay in his house? God, for a few days, his life will be better? Maybe people still think children are annoying."
"How many times have I said it, and you just don't listen or believe it. Anyway, Fu Jia is my business, not your business. You just don't like him, do you?" Teacher Liu was so angry that he gave up and quit. "I won't cook for you anymore. I'll only cook for Lele and Fu Jia. Order takeout yourself!"
She pushed her husband to drive him out of the kitchen, but the husband had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, okay, then Fu Jia will come later, I'll see how he and Lele get along before making a decision, okay? ?"
Teacher Liu rolled her eyes, completely convinced by her husband's erratic character.
The husband smiled helplessly, and took another step back: "Well, let's ask Lele what he thinks. If he wants to live with Fu Jia for a week, I'll promise you."
Teacher Liu let go of his hand, and his face improved.
On this issue, she had already done ideological work for Lele behind her husband's back.
The couple got back together and had a chat in the kitchen. Half an hour later, Mr. Liu received a WeChat message from Fu Jia, saying that he was coming soon.
Mr. Liu quickly wiped his hands, threw the kitchen to her husband, ran to the living room by herself, and said to Lele, "Lele, will you go downstairs with grandma to pick up Uncle Fu?"
Lele is usually unmoved when watching cartoons, but today she nodded and agreed.
Teacher Liu took his little hand and took him downstairs to wait for Fu Jia.
Seven years have passed since the accident.
In the past seven years, Mr. Liu has watched Fu Jia fall to the bottom of the valley, then shook off the mud and climbed up step by step by himself.
Seven years of onlookers made Teacher Liu develop a different feeling for Fu Jia. Even without Lu Qi'an's relationship, she couldn't let Fu Jia go. She wanted to help Fu Jia like a mother, but she was always isolated by an invisible membrane and couldn't get close to him.
He paid off the money Fu Jia spent in hospital in just over a year. He didn't say it, but Mr. Liu also inquired about how his life was this year. Mr. Liu didn't move at all. He took a fixed time every day to find Fu Jia and wanted to return the money to him.
She didn't know how many times she had found Fu Jia, and how many times she had been avoided by him. Every time she wondered if she had made Fu Jia unhappy and should not disturb his life any more. But on second thought, I couldn't let him go. She learned that Fu Jia is always alone, living in a 40-square-meter single apartment, with home and company, two points and one line. He has made a lot of ordinary friends, but they are not close, and he has not developed a relationship with anyone. If it wasn't for Teacher Liu's shameless inquiring about him, he would have vanished cleanly early in the morning.
Four years ago, Lele came to her side, and the troubles and joy of taking care of the children made her change her mind. Since Fu Jia is unwilling to let her take care of her, she should take a step back and let Fu Jia take care of her, so that Fu Jia will stop rejecting her because she is grateful for her kindness
It's a bit mean, but it works. From time to time, she troubled Fu Jia with trivial matters, such as asking him to help him buy things, help him lift heavy objects, or ask him to help pick up and play with Lele. , or invite him to dinner at home.
Not only that, Fu Jia has a very high tolerance for children and is very patient with Lele. As long as Teacher Liu uses Lele as an excuse to invite Fu Jia to come to her house as a guest, Fu Jia will probably agree.
Teacher Liu believes that Fu Jia was instinctively attracted by the cheerfulness and innocence of children. Adults can't open his heart, and can't get close to him to accompany him. He has been alone for seven years. If Lele can be his friend and accompany him, will it make him feel better
It would be even better if he had the idea of starting a family and was willing to get married and have children, and have his own small family.
She lost her mind, but Lele always remembered her mission, tugged at her sleeve, and said, "Grandma, Uncle Fu is here."
Not far away, a young man's figure is very conspicuous. He was dressed in black, but held a bag of bright-colored children's toys in his hand, with a smile on his face, a clean and refreshing demeanor, diluting the sultry heat of the midsummer evening.
He nodded to Teacher Liu, then looked at Lele: "Long time no see, Lele."
Lele was a little embarrassed, and whispered next to her grandma, "Hello, Uncle Fu."
Seeing Fu Jia carrying toys, Mrs. Liu felt helpless: "Oh, why do you bring something every time you come here? There is nothing in the house, and Lele can't play with so many toys alone."
Hearing this, Lele felt even more awkward, and tugged at grandma's clothes with her hands.
Fu Jia said: "Toys are not expensive, they are just a matter of heart, as long as Lele likes it. You and Lele don't have to go downstairs to pick me up every time. I will feel bad about it."
Mr. Liu didn't answer him, he held Lele with one hand, patted him on the back with the other, and said, "Go upstairs."
