Chapter 111: Smoke
Small children don't have much desire, and they don't have too many needs, so it's really simple to let them be satisfied.
A small toy, a new piece of clothing, or a bag of snacks. It's these insignificant things that can make them excited.
Just like at this moment, with the comics that Li Ran bought, Ding Man can temporarily get out of the haze and be happy.
However, there are always some people in this world who are extremely stingy.
Not only are they reluctant to give their children a little bit of care and care, but they even treat Ding Man's brothers and sisters as cruelly as Ding Chunyan.
The human eye has 576 million pixels, but after all, it is impossible to understand why the human heart is so bad.
Just like the Journey to the West, when the king of Yunhai Xiguo caught Tang Seng and said, "The evil fire of the human heart, the Buddha can't extinguish it, it's up to you?"
Just because it can't be seen clearly, and it can't be touched, it can't be extinguished.
Human nature is complex, but Li Ran has no interest or time to think about it.
What he was more worried about was that the two children in the Chen family might be hurt more than he thought.
No one knows how deep their psychological trauma is, all Li Ran can do is to care and love more to protect them from being hurt again.
Therefore, after returning from eating with Yaya, Li Ran also took a rare time to play with the two children for a while.
Read comics with Timon and tell Yaya stories about Snow White and Cinderella in the storybook.
From twelve o'clock in the afternoon to two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Ran accompanied the Ding Man brothers and sisters.
The effect of this is very good, the smiles on the faces of the two children have become more, and the speech has become much more natural.
Ding Man will take the initiative to chat with Li Ran and ask questions, and he is no longer so reserved. Yaya is also more lively, loves to talk and laugh.
Li Ran is very pleased that they have such a change, but he has some regrets.
After all, he usually has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't have much time to play with the two of them.
But even so, he decided to spend as much time as possible with them in the future.
Because, since Li Ran has decided to adopt them, he will definitely treat them as his own children, this is his responsibility.
It is a responsibility to raise children, and it is of course a responsibility to honor the elderly.
Qin Yuqing is the biological mother of Ping Ping and An An, so her parents, Li Ran, should also be honored as her own parents.
Therefore, after playing with the two children at home for a while, Li Ran had to leave.
Pingping and An An are still in Xishan Villa, and the Qin family lives in Dongcheng, so he has to go back to pick up the children.
But before he goes back, he has to buy two cribs to take with him later.
Last night, because he was afraid of pressing the two children, he slept carefully on his side for a night, and he is still a little uncomfortable.
In the future, I will inevitably have to go back often, especially during the Chinese New Year, and I have to live for many days. If he continued to be crowded like this, he really couldn't stand it.
Choosing a bed for a child, of course, is more about choosing peace of mind, so Li Ran bought the Temple of Heaven furniture of the old brand of Yanjing.
Also for peace of mind, he chose solid wood instead of the emerging composite crib.
After looking at it for a while, Li Ran chose a crib.
It is made of solid wood bed and guardrail, 120*75 size, and the bedroom door can also be entered.
In the end, Li Ran supported it, the bed did not move at all, and it looked very strong. There was no bargaining, and I bought two directly for one hundred and fifteen.
I asked how to assemble it, and then asked the staff of the furniture store to help move the two beds that were packed under and put them in the trunk.
After shopping, Li Ran didn't waste any more time, and hurriedly drove back.
Generally, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Pingping and An An woke up in the afternoon, and then they could go back and take the child to Qin's house.
However, when he returned to Xishan, he found that the two children were still taking a nap and had not woken up.
After asking my mother, I found out that there were guests at home at noon, and they had been talking below, and the two children who were noisy couldn't sleep well.
Li Ran didn't care about any guests, he just felt sorry for his precious son and daughter.
If the child falls asleep and does not wake up, he naturally cannot walk. Idle is also idle, so I quickly assembled the crib.
After installing it, I scrubbed it with water, dried it and moved into my bedroom.
Li Ran's bedroom is not small, except for the master bedroom where his parents live, it is his largest. But after putting down the two cribs, it still seemed quite crowded.
It's certainly uncomfortable to stay for a long time, but after all, you don't spend much time at home, so it's not a big deal.
I made a small bed for the two children, and continued to watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the bedroom.
When I was reading the twenty-fourth episode of Liu Bei's head Yuan Shao, Pingping woke up. He turned over in a daze, raised his head and saw Li Ran smirking a few times.
The movement of waking up in Pingping inevitably woke up An An, and the two children woke up together again.
After taking turns hugging the two villains, he soaked milk powder to eat.
When they were full, they washed their faces with towels, smeared them with baby oil, and put on new clothes. Dressed up fragrant and beautiful, I plan to take them to see their grandparents.
Before leaving, his father called him to the study and gave him another instructions.
"Yuqing is gone, you have to be filial to her parents for her. No matter what kind of attitude your Uncle Qin and Aunt Zhao have towards you, even if they scold you or beat you, you have to bear it, understand?"
This was the only sentence he told Li Ran in the study, although the tone was peaceful, the sternness inside was deeply imprinted in Li Ran's heart.
As for his father's words, Li Ran didn't say anything, just nodded, and then went out.
Because he understands that there are things to be kept in the heart, not in the mouth.
This time, Li Ran borrowed his father's driver, after all, the mother of the two children couldn't hold it alone.
The Qin family lives in Dongcheng, and they are also in the area of Guozijian, which is very close to the courtyard of the Li family.
In recent years, Li Ran's family has been transferred to the commander of the garrison because of his father Li Zhengfeng, and his mother Gu Yushu has also been working outside.
As for the three Li Ran brothers, they can't come back, so there are almost no people living in the courtyard here. That is, occasionally the second uncle and sister-in-law will live for a period of time when they return to Yanjing.
Qin Yuqing's family is different from Li Ran's family, except for Qin's father, who works in other provinces, Qin Yuqing's younger brother and mother all live in Yanjing, and they have been like this until now.
The east and west cities, from Xidan to Guozijian, the distance between the two places is not far, only ten kilometers.
However, even this ten-kilometer road has always been like a huge chasm, blocking Li Ran's heart.
Whenever he thinks of two old men who have lost their daughters because of himself at this end of the city, he instinctively retreats because of guilt.
But at this moment, when the matter came to an end, Li Ran was able to face it calmly.
Maybe he had to do it, or maybe he figured it out. In short, he told himself in his heart that Bing should do everything in his power to make up for his guilt.
The car stopped at the gate of Qin's courtyard, Li Ran hugged Pingping, and carried a lot of things in his hands.
There were supplements he bought himself, as well as two cigarettes he brought from home.
This cigarette is not an ordinary cigarette, it is the exclusive supply of the old man in the family, which is the so-called "special supply".
Although it is a special supply, in fact, since the Yanjing Cigarette Factory and the Security Bureau established a joint venture brand in the 80s, it has been used to entertain foreign guests and other occasions, and it is no longer particularly rare.
Of course, in fact, these two cigarettes are not because they are rare, but because they carry a story and a memory.
Once, there was a boy who, in order to go to a girl's house for a valid reason, kept stealing cigarettes from the house and giving them to the girl's father, because he knew that the girl's father loved to smoke the kind of cigarettes in the white box.
He lied that the adults in the family had sent him over, and then took the opportunity to stay at the girl's house to play with her.
Each time, the number of times I went, the parents on both sides became suspicious, and they only knew the specific situation after asking each other.
Then there was a joke among relatives about the boy "stealing the family's cigarettes to honor his father-in-law", and this story was passed on for more than ten years.
The boy in the story is Li Ran when he was a child, and the girl is Qin Yuqing when he was a child.
