Today's Jiangcheng is drizzling. Not surprisingly, the city is located in the south of the Yangtze River and is itself a warm and rainy city. It rained, but it was more poetic.

Of course, Xixi is not as strong as her father, and the spring rain is cold, so her father added an extra thin shirt to the little girl in the morning.

The coffee shop on the corner of the street has quietly opened, Yang Yi, who doesn't like to be lively and unworldly, didn't make a big splash, and even just chose a weekend leisure time to hang up the quaint wood signboard, which can be regarded as an opening ceremony.

As a result, no one knew that the café had not been visited by any customers since it opened for two days......

It's just that Yang Yi doesn't care.

The sky is dark, but the coffee shop is warm like home, and the pale yellow soft lights illuminate every corner, as warm as sitting around the fire on a winter night, especially suitable for friends to whisper together.

However, in front of the bar, Yang Yi turned on the extraordinarily bright incandescent lamp, and he was tirelessly wiping the cup while smiling and watching his daughter draw.

The little figure sat high, leaning over the clean and spacious marble bar, carefully using her colored crayons to draw the image in her heart on the white drawing paper.

I don't know how long it took, but the little guy raised his head and said happily, "Baba, look, how did I draw?"

Yang Yi has been watching, Xixi has improved after he taught a few tricks earlier, but the painting is still very abstract.

"Yes, is this an elephant you are drawing?" asked Yang Yi with a thumbs up, pointing to the round pig with a long nose on the drawing paper.

"That's right!" Xixi said happily, "Mother elephant has a long snout. ”

"Awesome drawing!" Yang Yi smiled and rubbed the little guy's head.

After reading those parenting manuals, Yang Yi's concept has changed somewhat.

In the past, he still felt that Xixi's painting was a bit awkward, so he wanted to teach her how to draw!

However, there is a book that says, "Learning to draw too early will make the child unable to draw ......"

Children aged 0-7 are in an important period of right brain development, and a very important part of right brain development is "to improve with the help of graphic transformation and expression, so as to promote the health of the right brain and the formation of divergent thinking, so children in this period need to freely express imagination and association, and can not be bound by fixed graphics, but to fully express in the rich color experience and unfixed graphic changes." ”

If Yang Yi teaches her painting skills and concepts to Xixi, then her own right brain development will be affected!

Yang Yi, who was shocked into a cold sweat, restrained his urge to teach Xixi to paint, and changed it to support and encouragement, so that the little guy could freely use his imagination to paint what he wanted to express.

And the painting is not bad!

Yang Yi began to learn to appreciate and praise: "Look at how cute the elephants you painted, you are very happy when you look at them!"

Xi Xi laughed happily, more motivated, and continued to bow her head and draw.

At this time, the wind chimes at the door rang, someone pushed the door open, Yang Yi noticed it, and subconsciously looked over. But the visitor did not come in, but only let a little boy go in to hide from the rain.

"Hello!" Yang Yi couldn't see anyone through the curtain, but Yang Yi heard a gentle female voice, as soft as a drizzle outside.

Why don't you come in? Yang Yi was puzzled.

Seeing the little boy's nervous appearance, Yang Yi had no choice but to come out of the bar, and Xixi also quickly jumped down from the chair, took his father's hand, hid behind his father's back, and secretly poked his little head out to look at the little brother who should be five or six years old.

Yang Yi looked out of the door a little curiously, outside the door, it was a young woman with a clear eyebrow, who should not be very old. She was a little embarrassed, holding an umbrella, but her hair was messy, her clothes were half wet from the rain, and the shoes on her feet were also stained with mud, and the mud spots even splashed on her white stockings, and her petite and helpless appearance was pitiful.

But Yang Yi didn't have any reverie, he asked a little puzzled: "Hello, why don't you come in?"

The young woman looked up at Yang Yi apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I just now, I accidentally stepped on your flowers just now, and I didn't pay attention when I walked." ”

Yang Yi didn't care, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, if you want to shelter from the rain, just come in, what a big deal!"

But the young woman was still a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "My shoes are very dirty, and there is a lot of mud on them, can you please help bring me a basin of water to rinse first?"

"It's okay if it's dirty, I'll wipe it later. Yang Yi glanced at the shoe prints left by the little boy just now, although it was just rain, it still made Yang Yi feel uncomfortable, anyway, they were already dirty, it didn't matter how dirty they were, they had to be cleaned later......

"Forget it, I'll take you upstairs. Yang Yi thought about it, shook his head, and said, "It's just a bathroom downstairs, it's not easy to wash, and there's hot water upstairs." ”

Without waiting for the young woman to object, Yang Yi picked up the big umbrella hanging behind the door, opened it, bent down and hugged Xixi, and then smiled faintly and said, "Let's go!"

"Oh, oh, well, thank you! Is this your daughter?" The young woman was arranged by Yang Yi, a little shy, her face was flushed, and she pulled her son up, following the same steps, and had nothing to say.

From the back of the store to the small courtyard upstairs, not far away, Yang Yi got a lot of information from the other party's mouth.

The young woman's name is Yan Xiaopei, and her son's name is Yan Yingkai, it can be seen from the surname that Yan Xiaopei is divorced, and her sons follow her surname, obviously her ex-husband doesn't know what she has done that makes her so resentful.

Of course, Yang Yi was not interested and did not ask.

And the reason why Yan Xiaopei is so embarrassed today is because her son went to piano lessons, and Yan Xiaopei took him back in the rain, but when she passed by the door of Yang Yi's shop, she didn't pay attention to the road, and stepped on the edge of the flower garden and stepped in the mud.

"Your coffee shop is newly opened, right? I don't think I've seen it before?" When Yan Xiaopei came in, she insisted on refusing to come in in muddy shoes, so Yang Yi had to settle the two small ones first, and then brought her slippers.

"Hmm. Yang Yi nodded.

Yan Xiaopei was very shy at first, but now it seems that after getting acquainted with it, she is still a very talkative person, she followed Yang Yi with dirty shoes: "Oh, I opened a flower shop at the east gate of the school......"

"Dongmen, business should be very hot, but what should you do when you come out of the store?" Yang Yi remembered the shops in Dongmen that he had seen before, and asked with some puzzlement.

"There were two college students in the store who worked part-time, and it was raining, and no one came out. Yan Xiaopei said softly.

went upstairs and saw Xi Xi and Yan Yingkai sitting face to face across the coffee table, the little boy was a little introverted, silently bowing his head, Xi Xi was also afraid of life, she was restless, secretly glanced at the little brother for a while, and looked at the stairs for a while.

Fortunately, Dad came back, and Xixi couldn't wait to run over and hug Daddy's leg.

(PS: This is just a very ordinary and ordinary role, at most a few episodes~ not even a supporting role!, so you don't have to worry about her becoming a junior, or having a relationship with Yang Yi, this book says that it is a single heroine, and there will never be a mistake like "My Fairy Lady".) ）
