As soon as the third class ended in the afternoon, He Rulan watched the students line up and walk out of the campus and were picked up by their respective parents, so they hurried to the railway kindergarten, Xiaonan estimated that she had to wait again, whether it was He Rulan or He Ruxue who would pick up the children, He Xiaonan was one of the children who stayed in the kindergarten and waited.

The days passed so fast, after this summer, Xiao Nan was going to middle class, she went from the thin kitten-like little poor who cried with the iron fence to become more and more cheerful, grew a lot taller, and her body became stronger.

Last year, when He Ruxue just picked her up from Ruyi Town, Xiao Nan didn't look for her mother at all, and on the first night, He Ruxue didn't sleep all night, Xiao Nan cried hoarsely and wanted to find her grandmother.

In the past two years, Xiaonan and grandma have not separated an inch, even the third aunt He Ruyun got married, and grandma didn't ask much, and now the third aunt is still complaining about grandma's partiality.

At first glance, she was separated from her grandmother, Xiaonan was very uncomfortable, unfamiliar environment, strange people, she was not familiar with this woman called mother, and was even a little scared.

When her mother took Xiaonan away, He Ruxue had no baggage, devoted herself to work, with superb medical skills and dedication, she finally got an opportunity to go to Shanghai for further study in 1988, and a two-year full-time study allowed He Ruxue to get a master's degree.

Last year, before He Ruxue returned to work in the hospital, she took Xiaonan back to Yimeng from her hometown, Xiaonan is three years old, and she should be at the age of kindergarten, but He Ruxue is so busy with work, how can she have time to pick up and drop off children every day, especially in the afternoon, either for surgery, or to study the condition of the patient, but the child is of the age of education, and he can't always be in the countryside.

He Ruxue couldn't sleep sadly, please ask a nanny, it's unrealistic and even more uneasy, let her mother come with her, her younger brother is only a teenager and the family can't do without it, and later the second sister He Rulan relieved her.

When she is not busy, He Ruxue takes care of the children herself, and when she encounters surgery or night shifts, He Rulan takes over Xiaonan, and the kindergarten is set in the railway kindergarten opposite He Rulan's school, so that it is convenient to pick up and drop off.

The time after school in primary school is about the same as that of kindergarten, but He Rulan is the head teacher, and the students she took are already in the fourth grade this year, and every afternoon after school, she has to watch the children leave the campus safely, and let the parents who come to pick them up at the school gate take them away, so that they can pick up Xiaonan with confidence, so that they are basically delayed for more than half an hour every time.

Fortunately, she is not the only child like Xiaonan, the children of railway dual-income workers, since childhood, most of them are busy with work and have no time to pick up and drop off on time, and the kindergarten teachers have become accustomed to it, and it is common to accompany the children until dark.

Railway people understand the railway people best, every time He Rulan picks up the child is late, I see the kindergarten teachers without complaint with the child singing, dancing and telling stories, the child is hungry, give them biscuits, the child is sleepy, some teachers will hold the child to sleep, it is really moving.

He Rulan got a revelation, there are several children in her class, and no one at home picks them up on time all year round, so He Rulan originally told them to wait for their parents in the iron fence of the school, so as not to be in danger when they go out of the campus.

Some children lay on the fence of the campus to write homework, and some children waited for their parents to wait until it was dark, He Rulan saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, she decided to let those children write homework in the office after school, and the office was brightly lit to avoid mosquito bites and all kinds of interference from the traffic outside the campus, which was warmly welcomed and thanked by the parents.

There are two children left in the office today, Liu Shunqing and Zhang Lixiang, their parents have a special position, and they must not leave their posts until they get off work.

I have to take Xiao Nan out quickly, there are still two naughty ghosts in the office, just this time, maybe something will happen, He Rulan thought while walking quickly to the kindergarten.

"Second aunt mother!" Xiao Nan happily stretched her hands and ran towards her, "Little crazy girl, are you naughty today?" He Rulan hugged Xiao Nan, this child has grown up eating hundreds of meals for more than a year, who is free to care, she has adapted to this kind of life.

I remember when I was just sent to the kindergarten, Xiao Nan had just adapted to the relationship with He Ruxue, she hugged her mother's neck and refused to let go, crying a miserable cry, across the road, He Rulan could hear Xiao Nan's hoarse cry in the fence.

"There are a lot of children in the kindergarten playing with you, what is there to cry about, in the afternoon your mother or second aunt will come to pick you up, don't cry in the future!" He Rulan did ideological work for a three-year-old child.

"Second aunt, I'm afraid, I don't want to go to kindergarten!" Xiao Nan stared at He Rulan with beautiful big eyes, Chu Chu looked at He Rulan pitifully.

He Xiaonan cried for a whole month, crying to the end even the teacher was scared, as long as there are parents to pick up the child, He Xiaonan will rush over and hug people's legs, women are all called mother, men are called father, as long as she can be led out of the kindergarten, no matter who it is, she will follow others.

He Ruxue didn't feel sorry for her daughter, but she had no choice but to continue to send Xiaonan to kindergarten with a hard heart, just send it away, and suddenly one day, Xiaonan stopped crying.

He Xiaonan goes to kindergarten step by step every day, eats when it is time to eat, sleeps when it is time to sleep, when He Ruxue or He Rulan goes to pick her up, Xiaonan will happily tell them interesting things about the kindergarten, like a different person, He Rulan knows that this child has passed this level.

"Xiaonan, what are you doing in the kindergarten today?" He Rulan hugged Xiaonan, talked to her all the way, and walked towards the school.

"Second aunt, mother, I drew a picture today, and the teacher praised me!" Xiao Nan replied in a milky voice.

"Oh, our Xiaonan is really amazing, tell the second aunt, what did you draw?"

"I drew a rainbow on the wheat field, and my mom and dad and I ...... Second aunt, do I have a father? Why didn't he come to pick me up? Other children have fathers......

He Rulan stopped, "Xiao Nan's father is far away, and he will come to pick up Xiao Nan sooner or later!" After speaking, she changed Xiao Nan to the side and continued to walk towards the school.

"Second aunt and father!" As soon as she walked to the school gate, Xiao Nan saw Sun Shilu coming out of the school, and it seemed that he was off work.

"Xiao Nan! don't shout nonsense, you are not allowed to say this in the future!" He Rulan's face darkened, Xiao Nan was startled, what happened to the second aunt today? Xiao Nan used to call Sun Shilu's second aunt's father, and he laughed when he heard it.

Sun Shilu had obviously heard Xiao Nan's words, but he didn't stop, and left quickly with an expressionless face.

He Rulan squinted at Sun Shilu's back, villain!
