I am not surprised that Pei Shaobei will appear in the community, what I am surprised is his proximity.

Mother has said many times, as if she saw Pei Shaobei, but not once did he take the initiative to lean over and get close to the child. Even if he was entangled with me at the gate of the community and threatened me to take Gu Xiao away, but after all, this was the first time that Pei Shaobei walked to Gu Xiao's side head-on.

"Why are you here?" I didn't want to dwell on the purpose of Pei Shaobei's coming, and I didn't have the vigilance I once had, so I only bent down and hugged Gu Xiao, looking at him with a calm gaze.

"He's my son, why can't I come over!" Pei Shaobei glared at me, and his gaze slowly fell on Gu Xiao, who was still entangled in the stone pier, and was very restless in my arms. Pei Shaobei didn't smile on his face, but with Gu Xiao's gaze looking at the half-damaged stone pier, he raised the toy in his hand a little stiffly, but the next moment it was stuffed into my hand very hard.

I was speechless about his actions, but I found that his red ears showed nervousness and helplessness at the moment. I was teasing and couldn't help but roll my eyes, "What's the matter? I'm not a child, who are you going to give it to, won't you give it yourself? Will the child unpack, or do you think your son is talented?"

Pei Shaobei's ears were even redder, but it was because of my words that softened the facial nerves, he tried to reach out to touch Gu Xiao's back, but before his fingers could touch it, he was so frightened that he retracted violently because of Gu Xiao's turn, and the movement was so big that he almost stumbled and hit the stone pillar of the flower pavilion behind him.

"Ahem!" Pei Shaobei hurriedly withdrew his hand, put it to his mouth and coughed twice to cover up.

Gu Xiao didn't recognize his life, or maybe it was because of blood relationship, he tilted his head and looked at Pei Shaobei, and suddenly opened his hand and babbled to Pei Shaobei to hug him. I obviously felt Pei Shaobei's nervousness, but the child's nature attracted him, and it was not a hug to let him freeze in place.

I remembered what Pei Shaobei and my mother had said about the importance of father's love to children, so I didn't stop it, took a step towards Pei Shaobei, and said, "You hold him, I'll dismantle the toy!"

Finding an extremely reasonable excuse, Pei Shaobei muttered quietly while stiffly taking Gu Xiao and holding him in his arms.

Gu Xiao tugged at Pei Shaobei's collar and babbled. Pei Shaobei reached out and pinched his face with a little pampering, and I hurriedly stopped, "Hey, you pinch him again and drool more!"

"Ah, why?" Pei Shaobei's fingers froze on Gu Xiao's face, and he looked at me in surprise, with a rare ignorance on his face, which made my heart beat wildly. I hurriedly turned my head and struggled to unpack, but I didn't want to look at Pei Shaobei again.

"Ah!" Pei Shaobei paused for a while and shouted again, surprised and flustered.

I instinctively looked up and laughed at the sight.

Pei Shaobei's fingers on Gu Xiao's cheeks were taken into Gu Xiao's mouth, and after taking two bites, he felt that it was not delicious, so he bit it fiercely with the four small milk teeth in his mouth, and kept rubbing it, completely treating it as a toy.

Pei Shaobei's expression was too exciting, there was pain, there was surprise, and it was more of a helplessness that didn't know what to do. His eyes looked at me, with a little help, different from the previous cold and alienation, for a moment, I thought that we had never been separated, we were a real couple, because of love together, holding the child, a happy family.

"Hey, don't look at it, you have to think of a way, there's no need to use this trick to retaliate against me, right?" Pei Shaobei looked at me with a bitter face, I was awakened by his words, and glared at him angrily, "Who has the leisure to take revenge on you, children like to send anything to their mouths when they see it, it's good if I don't dislike you for being dirty, you still have so many requirements!"

Having said that, I still walked over and coaxed Gu Xiao to let go of Pei Shaobei's fingers, Gu Xiao may not have bitten enough, so I cried angrily, I hurriedly hugged Pei Shaobei, patted his back and coaxed while trying to count Pei Shaobei's words, but when I turned my head, I saw that he had turned around and walked out of the flower pavilion, his back was panicked, and his steps were hurrying.

The words in my mouth were so stalked in my throat that I couldn't help coughing, but in my heart I felt inexplicably lost about Pei Shaobei's departure.

"Wanwan, you're here, I've been looking for you for a long time. Oops, why is my obedient Xiaoxiao crying, come on, grandma hug!" Mother's voice sounded behind me, I quickly collected my emotions, turned my head and said with a smile, "Mom, didn't you let you take a lunch break, what did you do when you ran out?"

"I can't sleep, I always hear Xiaoxiao crying in my ears. Sure enough, this kid is really crying, what's wrong? Falling?" The mother hugged Gu Xiao nervously, looked up and down, and saw that there was no mud on her body, so she asked again, "Is that hungry or pee?" Little villain, you must be thinking about grandma, right?"

I knew my mother's love and dependence on Gu Xiao, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. After only ten minutes of leaving, I hurriedly found it.

I thought of Pei Shaobei's back when Gu Xiao chose to leave when he was crying, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

Originally, I was still wary that others would fight with me for Gu Xiao's custody, but unfortunately, people didn't have this plan at all.

"What is this?The toy you bought for Xiaoxiao?" The mother saw the toy packaging box that I put on the stone pier, and muttered while bending down to pick it up and teasing Gu Xiao, "Spend money again, what will the child play with at such a young age, it is better to save it, and there will be a place to use the money in the future!"

"Mom!" I interrupted my mother's words and thought for a moment, "Someone asked me to work today, and I pushed it!"

"Ah, why?" the mother wondered. "Is the salary not the right or the time not right?"

"It's not a good person!" I briefly talked about the hostile relationship between Yuan Shao and Pei Shaobei, and my mother nodded after hearing it, "Well, we can't do it, isn't this obviously trying to use you to bully Shaobei?

Mother's words made me feel relieved, indeed, life is not a bloody TV series, there is not so much hatred and calculation in it. What's more, what I want to do now is just to live an ordinary life? Even if Yuan Shao's salary is attractive, I must not participate in it.

Similarly, I must not go to Pei Shaobei's office to apply for a job, no matter which one it is, I will be entangled with Pei Shaobei. Whether it's hurt or hostile, since you chose to let go a year ago, there's no need to start over now.

My mother and I accompanied Gu Xiao to play in the community for a while, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Chen called me and said that he wanted to hire me as a translator for their company.

To be honest, I was really moved when I received this call. After all, the conditions given by Xiao Chen are too good, and there is no need to sit on duty, unless there is a foreign businessman to inspect, and the rest of the time can work from home. This is more attractive to me than any high salary. I was reluctant to refuse like this, but I didn't want to be entangled with some of the people I used to be.

I said to think about it, Xiao Chen didn't force it, and promised to give me three days. I was pacing in the living room alone, and my mother was dizzy from me, but after asking me about the things I was struggling with, she was very supportive of me going. The reason she gave was this, there was no competition between Xiao Chen and Pei Shaobei, one was in business, the other was a lawyer, even if I went to work for Xiao Chen, it would not affect Pei Shaobei.

I didn't tell her about Xiao Chen being sued and imprisoned by Pei Shaobei, and my father was so angry that Xiao Chen and Dong Mei were hospitalized that it had always been a heartache for my mother. She always felt that if it hadn't been for that accident, her father would not have fallen ill so early and died in the end. My mother thinks that this is my problem, but the deceased should not always affect the living, I understand what my mother means, she hopes that I can have a good future, and she also hopes that I can be truly independent.

I nodded, and said think again, my mother didn't say anything more, but in the evening, I secretly saw her go to the storage room to talk to my father about it.

I listened to the low lamentation outside the door, and my heart was extremely depressed.

Except for Pei Shaobei, I really regretted returning to the city from the countryside. There are too many memories here, good and bad, no matter which one it is, it will arouse negative emotions in people and affect calmness.

It's just that Pei Shaobei has always been that accident, whether it is out of responsibility to Gu Xiao or out of selfishness, I always want to see him again, this kind of thing can deceive others, but I can't deceive myself.

I didn't go in, I went back to the bedroom alone and hugged Gu Xiao into my arms, but I had already made up my mind not to go to work in Xiao Chen's company.

No matter how good the other party's conditions are, I shouldn't press my future life on such a bad memory, which is a big unfilial piety to my mother.

Luckily, my struggle didn't last long, and the next day I received a call from the small studio to tutor an English tutor in the third year of high school, working two hours a day for 200 yuan.

Compared to the last translation job, the salary was much lower, and the other party thought that I would not accept it, and kept convincing me, so that I couldn't interject. When I finished saying everything I could say, I smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll take it!"

The people over there were ecstatic, a newly established studio, the most eager is a reliable next home, the other party promised, as long as there is a suitable job for me, I will pick the best. I smiled and expressed my gratitude, in fact, it is good to be a tutor, at least before the college entrance examination, the income is stable, which means that I don't need to worry about my livelihood for half a year, and I will not be unwilling to lose two high-paying jobs in succession.
