Although this small shop is small, as more and more children get out of school, it will soon be crowded with children wearing blue sports uniforms, the small ones don't look much older than my daughter, and the big ones are much bigger than me. Soon, there were two long lines behind the pot where the beef balls had been boiling, and the little girl was no longer busy, but her face remained the same gentle.

I couldn't help but give it a thumbs up, thinking to myself: in addition to the delicious beef balls made in this shop, this good service attitude must also be the reason why children like to patronize it. Sure enough, it is 360 lines, the line is the champion, no matter how big or small, as long as you take it seriously and work hard, you will be able to gain something.

I suddenly thought of myself, and a stronger faith slowly grew.

With my permission, my daughter quickly swept away the remaining beef balls, her lips shining with oil, and her face beaming with satisfaction.

I squatted down, took out a tissue from my bag, and gently wiped the corners of her mouth, and she became more and more happy, hugged my neck directly, and shouted, "Mom, the beef balls are delicious, I'm so happy." ”

Isn't it so simple to be happy? someone loves you, someone is willing to pay for your liking, no matter why, just so that you can be happy.

When I came out of the beef ball shop, I took my daughter's hand all the way, deliberately slowing down my pace than usual, and allowing her to study all kinds of curious things. She was like a curious little butterfly, flickering her wings, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the west, and I followed her non-stop, and then, at her strong request, finished eating outside, and did not come to the door until it was almost dark.

Hadron has always returned late, but today he came back early. As soon as he entered the door, his daughter pounced on him when she saw him, and chirped like a bird, telling him that she had eaten beef balls, visited the toy store on the street, saw Barbie dolls in purple Chinese-style costumes, saw magical Lego robots, etc., and finally said with great pride that we had eaten a big meal outside and asked him to cook and eat by himself.

Qiangzi wrapped his arms around her tightly, raised his head and stared tenderly at her little face, listening with relish and patience, his face exuding the love of being a father.

After my daughter finished reporting, she looked back at me and suddenly said, "Dad, when will you take your mother to eat beef balls, take her shopping, and have a big meal, okay, my mother is really happy to take me today." I also want my mother to be happy. ”

Her words completely exceeded my expectations, I didn't expect her to learn to compare her heart with her heart at a young age, and every word was concerned about me, I was moved, my eyes were moist, and I lowered my head directly, afraid that she would see me.

Qiangzi was also surprised, and suddenly lost his expression and looked at me meaningfully. I deliberately dodged it, put my shoes on the shoe cabinet in the doorway, passed him, walked through the living room, and walked into the bedroom.

My daughter stopped talking, broke free from Hadron's arms, and trotted all the way to me. In the bedroom, he took my hand and said with a maturity beyond her age, "Mom, I hope you will be happy every day in the future, and you will be happy with Dad." Otherwise I'd be worried. ”

I was suddenly embarrassed, and I felt like a worried child, "How do you know I'm not happy with my father?"

My daughter shook her head, sighed, pointed at me with one hand around her waist, and pointed at me with the other, "You adults, you are not as good as children, you don't talk to your father much, and you say that you are happy? ”

Although she is still young, she is a small ghost, and it seems that there are some things that cannot be hidden from her eyes. I thought to myself, but in order not to worry her, I still found another explanation, "Didn't my mother be framed by bad people some time ago, and naturally she was in a bad mood, not only didn't she want to pay attention to your father, but she didn't even want to pay attention to you." Now that the bad guy has been caught, my mother will naturally be in a better mood in the future. Don't worry, if you take care of yourself and don't cause me trouble, I'll be happier. ”

My explanation was reasonable, and the reason was sufficient, after all, it was a child, and looking at my pretended relaxed expression and big smile, she nodded in agreement, and ran out of the room very happily to announce the news to Hadron.

At night, before going to bed, she lay next to me, and I lay at the head of the bed reading a book as usual. She hadn't fallen asleep yet, but she secretly observed me through the lamp at the bedside, and asked me from time to time why I seemed to be stiff and unhappy again. I explained it again and again, and she finally put her mind at ease and slowly fell asleep.

After my daughter fell asleep, my world fell completely silent and the wheel of thought began to turn again. Thinking about my daughter's worries again, I couldn't help but think solemnly. In the days to come, how should I get along with Qiangzi, for the sake of my daughter's superficial pretense and appearance? Or should I keep it as it was before and go with the flow? I have already thought about what I need to do, and how to deal with emotional matters is the best? I continue to be at a loss.

Once there is something in my heart, the sleepiness will run farther. Since I couldn't sleep, I simply got up, turned on the computer, and continued to think about swallows.

"Ever since Swallow came to our village, she has often mentioned one person – her father. Although I have never met him, I have heard that he is a very good person and very good to her, treating her like a princess, and always responding to what she likes. I often secretly envy, but not jealous, and happy that she could have such a good father. Actually, my dad is also very good, although he can't satisfy me with everything, but I know that he loves me in his heart. Every family's situation is different, and my father has worked very hard, working hard every day so that my brother and I can go to school. I'm content with that. I must study hard and earn a lot of money when I grow up, so that my father will not be so tired anymore.

I haven't finished class this afternoon, and this guy is gone, so why don't you run to the river to catch tadpoles? This guy is so uninteresting, he ran out alone without even saying hello, it was our common playground. Suddenly I felt abandoned, which made me a little depressed and in a trance. The figures of the classmates swaying in front of my eyes became a little unreal, and the teacher's mouth seemed to be speaking alien language, and I tried to understand it, but I couldn't seem to understand anything. The chalk words written by the teacher on the blackboard seemed to have turned into small tadpoles in a hazy way, wagging their little tails on them at will, and the mocking expression seemed to say: Look, your swallow doesn't care about you.

I wanted to reach for them and grab them, but reason told me it was a hallucination, and I was still in the classroom, and I was still in class. I gathered my spirit and finally woke myself up from the hallucination. The teacher's hand quickly left white marks on the blackboard, conveying the important spirit of the book, and the saliva in his mouth sprayed everywhere because of the emotion, and I seemed to have seen the stars fall on the face of Komatsu sitting in front of me, and then were instantly absorbed by his white and tender skin pores, and suddenly a feeling of disgust made me want to vomit. I tried my best to suppress my gastric juices, and I was stunned to suppress the churning back. Thinking of this, I complained about Yanzi's lack of righteousness and selfishness, why did she quietly skip class, but left me here to see this disgusting scene, I guess even the little tadpoles in the river are laughing at me.

At this moment, chaotic thoughts were skewered in my mind, what should be a good student, study hard, and make a lot of money in the future were all forgotten, and my father's hard work was also forgotten by the heart of wanting to play, and without a trace of shame, I also felt that righteousness and strictness were taken for granted.

As soon as the school bell rang, I couldn't wait to pack my school bag and rush out of the classroom before the teacher could walk out of the classroom. As soon as I ran out, I suddenly remembered that Yanzi's schoolbag seemed to be lying quietly in the drawer of her seat, and after several struggles, I decided to be a good person and help her carry her back, and by the way, I deliberately sarcastically mocked her, so that she felt more or less ashamed that she couldn't bring me. And I went all the way back, with my head down and thinking about a lot of words, just waiting to see her look ashamed and apologetic.

But when I arrived at her house, I saw her mother shed tears in frustration, and said to me with pleading eyes: Xiaolan, you do me a favor and persuade Yanzi well. She hid in her room when she came back from school today and never came out. I asked my aunt what had happened, and she told me that Swallow had heard a teacher's discussion at school and ran straight home before the class was over. I asked what was being discussed, and my aunt shook her head, turned her face to the side with a flushed face, and stopped talking.

Judging from my aunt's expression, I judged that it must be something unspeakable, and since my aunt didn't want to say it, I didn't continue to ask. I followed the direction of my aunt's finger and saw the swallow in the dark room. She sat in a corner at the end of the bed against the wall, her eyes were misty, quietly in a daze, there were still two crystal tears on her face, and some of the slight glow under her eyes were the traces of tears washed and dried.

I put my bag on her bed and sat down next to her, not knowing what to say for a moment. After a while, I saw that she had not moved, so I stood up and took her hand and said let's go, let's go to the river to catch tadpoles. She looked up at me, but her eyes seemed to have a lot to say, but she didn't speak. I didn't ask anything, pulled her up with all my might, and walked straight out of her dark room, out of the gate and courtyard of her house. She was very well-behaved all the way, and followed me silently, as if she could go anywhere, at my mercy.

So we walked to the river, found a clearing by the river and sat down, and remained silent in the afterglow of the setting sun, for a long, long time.
