watched Mo Jiajia's figure leave, and didn't turn around and go home until he couldn't see him around the corner.

It's just that although the surface is calm and unwavering, the heart is up and down.

Li Ran never tried to hide his affection for her, just like he never wanted to be single for the rest of his life.

Pingping and An An are still young, so he won't think about his marriage in the short term. But the two children will always grow up, and then he will also find someone he likes to live with.

However, his own family knows his own affairs.

As he is now, a big man with four children is a lot of pressure on any woman.

So, at this stage, he doesn't dare to expect anyone to like him.

But this is actually very good, at least it can allow him to eliminate distractions and raise a few children with peace of mind.

By the way, you can also show your ambitions in this magnificent era and go through this journey in vain.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and slowly, the fluctuations in his heart subsided.

In the end, the mental age is no longer young, and there is no longer the impulse that once was. It's just that I don't know whether to be glad that time has matured or to lament my aging mentality.

When I got home, Vanilla and Yaya were watching TV in the living room. Xiujuan gave a holiday yesterday, so she wasn't there, but she didn't see Chen Hu and Xiao Dingman.

The TV series "Desire" is being broadcast on TV, and vanilla's eyes are red when I watch it.

The girl next to her obviously didn't understand why vanilla was so sad when she watched TV, sitting on the sofa, holding the doll that Li Ran bought for her the day before yesterday, and playing boringly.

When Li Ran pushed the door in, the two of them, one big and one small, were surprised.

The girl was bored, and when she saw him come in, she seemed very happy, and immediately jumped off the sofa and called "uncle" sweetly, and ran towards him.

"Yaya, where's my brother?" picked up the little girl, Li Ran asked.

"My brother followed Uncle Tiger to the garden to see the big dog. Yaya hugged Li Ran's neck and said happily.

"Then what are you doing?" Li Ran asked by pinching her delicate little nose.

Yaya said, "I watch TV with Sister Vanilla. ”

"Do you think TV is good?"

"Sister Vanilla likes to watch it, but Yaya doesn't like it. Glancing at the vanilla, the little girl whispered in Li Ran's ear.

Yaya's cute little appearance made Li Ran can't help but want to tease her, so she followed her example and whispered next to her ear: "Does that Yaya want to go out to play?"

The girl who was tickled by the anger in Li Ran's mouth hid and said with a smile: "Yaya wants to play." ”

"Okay, then let's go out. ”

After dressing the little girl and changing her shoes, Li Ran said hello to Vanilla, and went to the garden with the girl in her arms.

In the garden, Chen Hu is taking Xiao Ding Man to make a kennel for the 'bench'.

The last time he brought the dog back, Chen Hu simply made a nest for it. But I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so it was done quite rudimentarily.

Now that this dog is pregnant with cubs, and the weather is getting colder and colder, it is a bit bad to let it live in this kind of broken kennel, so Li Ran mentioned it to Chen Hu yesterday. He's idle anyway, so it's good to find him something to do.

Although the kennel does not have to be rebuilt, it still has to be nailed with felt on the basis of the previous one to keep warm.

Chen Hu took a hammer to nail the felt, and Xiao Ding Man was next to him to help support the felt. Each hand grabbed the corner of the felt and pulled it hard.

Seeing Li Ran and Yaya coming, Chen Hu also temporarily put down the work in his hand and walked towards them with Ding Man.

"How is it, is it almost over?" asked Chen Hu while putting down the maid who was struggling to go to the ground.

"It's right away, with Xiao Dingman's help, it's very fast. ”

After saying that, he took out a cigarette and lit it for himself. Chen Hu smokes, and his addiction to smoking is not small.

Smelling the aroma of tobacco and looking at Ding Man, who was teasing the dog with the maid, Li Ran asked, "Why does Ding Man follow you to work?"

"You two should be careful when playing with dogs, don't get bitten", without waiting for Chen Hu to reply, he shouted loudly to the two children again.

"This little guy is sensible, he has to work with me" Chen Hu also looked at the two children and said with great emotion.

"People are small and have strong personalities. Able to endure hardships. Take the initiative to help me work, don't say anything, don't shout tired, you can't make mistakes in the future. ”

After only two days of getting along, he had such a high opinion of Ding Manneng, which made Li Ran a little sideways.

Li Ran: "This child is not very old, but he has suffered a lot and matured early. ”

"Company commander, if you don't want to raise this child, just give it to me! Anyway, I'm alone, so I'll raise it as a son. Chen Hu said hesitantly.

"You're going to adopt Ding Man, what about the vanilla, can she agree?" Li Ran teased him.

Chen Hu's face turned red when he said a word, and he stammered and wanted to quibble, but he couldn't say anything after a few words of "this, that", so he simply didn't say anything after that.

He thought no one knew about himself and vanilla. But in fact, in addition to Pingping and An An in this family, one of the others is counted as one, and it is very clear.

chatted with Chen Hu for a few words, and then called Xiao Ding Man and Yaya.

Touching Ding Man's head, Li Ran asked softly, "I'll go out later, do you want to go out with you for a while?"

At noon, Liu Cheng's counselor was invited to dinner, and Li Ran wanted to take the two children to play together.

I brought them back the day before yesterday, and Li Ran came back to Xishan yesterday and left them behind. Besides, after all, it's a child, and it's boring to stay at home all the time.

It's just that to Li Ran's surprise, Ding Man shook his head after glancing at Chen Hu and said, "Uncle, I'm not going, I want to stay and help Uncle Hu work,"

"Go ahead, Uncle can do it alone. Chen Hu couldn't help but persuade.

But Timon remained unmoved, and shook his head firmly.

"Good boy, then you will follow your Uncle Hu, I will take Yaya out and come back to buy you something delicious. ”

Xiao Dingman didn't force Li Ran to stay, so he let him go, just thinking about coming back and buying him something delicious. Anyway, sensible children are painful in the end.

I took the girl back and got the bag, and went out. When I got to the Hutongkou, I drove to the Huadu Hotel where I went last time and booked an ordinary box.

Last time, Chi Guangyi's dishes here felt really good. In addition, Liu Cheng also knows about this, so it happens to be arranged here.

The consumption of ordinary boxes is not high, and it will not seem too much, so it is just right to invite Liu Cheng's counselor to dinner.

After booking the box and calling Liu Cheng, Li Ran took Yaya to Xidan Department Store to buy something.

At home yesterday afternoon, the eldest niece Yuanyuan showed off her exam results and reminded Li Ran that Ding Man and Yaya were both at the age when they should study.

Speaking of which, it was also his negligence, and he has not specifically asked the two children about these specific situations, including their age and schooling.

Relying on some of the things that Aunt Liu told him that day, plus his own guesses, he only knows a rough idea until now. After all, time was too short, and he didn't think about it for a while.

I definitely can't go to school this semester, everyone is about to end school, but I can't delay it anymore next semester.

When it comes to going to school, we can't fail to mention another issue, that is, the hukou of Ding Man's siblings.

He doesn't know where the two children are until now, let alone go to the household. He doesn't know the exact policy for adopting a child.

Of course, this matter must be done as soon as possible, but now Li Ran wants to buy him some books, books or something first, so that he can practice first, so that he will not be pulled down too much by other students when school starts.

Not only that, but in fact, another reason is that when I came back today, I saw Yaya so bored on the sofa alone, and I always felt that I should buy her something to play.

He is often absent, and although there are many people at home, they are all busy with themselves, and there is no one to accompany her. So I remembered that in the car yesterday, Yuanyuan tested herself with the questions on "100,000 Whys", so I thought about buying her some small storybooks, comics or something to watch and play.

The area behind Xidan Shopping Mall is full of stalls selling books, both for adults and children.

In this bookstall, Li Ran has seen many classic comic books such as Slam Dunk, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Robot Cats, etc., which evoked his memories.

After taking Yaya around for a while, I finally bought her a few illustrated storybooks such as Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, and The Ugly Duckling. I bought Ding Man a few idiom stories, popular science books such as 5,000 years of China, Dragon Ball, and comic books of robot cats.

After buying the book, Li Ran took Yaya back to the hotel and put the book in the trunk of the car downstairs.

Not long after getting into the box, Liu Cheng arrived with Han Lu, Tong Lei, and his counselor Wu Zhen.
