2. Chapter II
Chapter 2 Evening primrose
Arrived home on time, went back to the room to change into the hospital nurse's uniform and went to cook.
Nana hadn't come back yet, but I saw fresh ingredients in the kitchen, and I thought she had time to bring them home at noon, and when she saw the ingredients, she saved her mind about the dishes according to the inventory, and when she turned around to get her apron, she saw a message in the locker.
A small note was posted in a conspicuous place in the locker, with two sentences on it, and the handwriting seemed to be in a hurry:
'The clogged sewer pipe will be repaired in the evening' and 'Crispy dried fish', and a cute emoji symbol is drawn at the end.
(≧ω≦)
It's the emojis I taught her before, it belongs to my side of the world, and there probably no one else here can use it, Nana is very happy, she thinks it's our little secret.
I shook my head and laughed, the small dried fish is her beloved snack, the last time I got a whole can was wiped out by her in less than two days, I was afraid that she would be cut off if she ate the fire, and she didn't dare to write a note openly.
When she was sixteen years old, she was still such a stupid child, and if she was too shy to say it in person, she would use a note, and she always used emoji to express her mood at that time.
It's cute, so cute that I let her get away with it every time.
I put away the mother-daughter newsletter, turned back and checked the materials piled up by the sink, and then I unsurprisingly took out a pack...
Flipped the bag in my hand, the corners of my mouth twitched silently, how can this weight be made into two large cans of dried fish, this child was a cat in his last life?
After twitching the corners of my mouth, I began to work.
I'm worried about the child's food, and I'm basically going to meet her wishes, as long as it's within my ability, so what is Xiaoyu doing uh~ Wait a minute, make a pot of herbal tea by the way?
Because Nana is very well-behaved, so well-behaved that I feel sorry for the child.
…………
Probably because of the single-parent family, Nana is well-behaved and sensible, and she doesn't call me much cāo when she is a little grain, and she is even more intimate when she grows up, and the neighbors praise her as a good girl.
Of course, I know that is the appearance, in fact, this child is precocious and sensitive, when she was a little Lori, she would secretly hide in the quilt and cry, always afraid that I would get impatient and foster her to someone else's house or a naval orphanage and then remarry myself, so I don't know how to comfort it.
I didn't have any children before I crossed, and of course I didn't know how to teach children, and the world here is very chaotic, full of turmoil and strife, and the first thing low-level civilians need to ensure is survival, early childhood education... What's that?
It's an exaggeration, Nana can't find a kindergarten for her when she is old, embarrassed.
Fortunately, the Malinford Navy Headquarters is still concerned about military families, and children of seven or eight years old can read and read in a unified manner, and even older ones can pass the screening, and those with good talent can enter the military school.
And those children will be the new forces of the Navy in the future.
Nana is now studying at the military academy, and I don't care much about her outside affairs on weekdays, not indifference or laissez-faire, but... It's probably a reverse perception that the previous period of my life brought me.
I was managed a lot by my parents back then, and now I think that my children are quite pitiful when I think about them every time I want to take care of them.
I'm not resentful of my parents, it's a generation gap.
'For your good' is sometimes a kind of paranoid arbitrariness, but when you are a child who is powerless to resist, that feeling of discouragement and resentment is quite bad.
Because he is young and unpopular, he forces his children to soar, and he forces his children to do this and that because he cares about other people's opinions.
Because you want to be angry, you have to 'find a decent job', you want to 'find a capable husband', you want to 'have a smart grandson', in order to 'let me go out and have face', these are really enough!
People live to 'get married, have children, and watch children have children', I really don't understand what the older generation thinks.
In order to be managed a lot, I always fantasized that I would not interfere with my children under the pretext of 'for your good', I could teach my children how to behave, I could teach my children how to behave in the world, but I would never use my own ideas to forcibly plan my children's lives.
So,I won't be too disciplined about Nana.,Whatever she likes to do depends on her.,It's like she seems to like a bad man over forty.,She doesn't say it, I won't ask.,At most, think about how to go sideways to eliminate potential scumbags.,(==).
It doesn't matter, Nana is still young, and it's not a bad thing to occasionally encounter setbacks and fall and fight.
Life is her own, now it hurts to accept the lesson, and I am watching from the back, it is better than if I manage it tightly, she doesn't dare to do anything, and in the future I will die and she will make mistakes again, and then no one will protect her without asking whether it is right or wrong.
…………
After stir-frying a few dishes in the pan and reheating the soup pot, I turned to wash my hands and heard the sound of the door opening the door.
Looking her up and down, I couldn't help but wonder, what was going on with this kid sweating and looking like he had come back from a marathon? But the smile on his face... It's okay to look at.
Nana rubbed to her side, first looked at the dishes, then looked at the soup pot, and then the corners of her mouth curled, her eyes were shining, "Anna~~~"
"Is that guest outside your classmate?" Ignoring the child's salivation, I raised my chin towards the kitchen door, and only then did I enter the door with two footsteps, one of which was left in the living room, and at this time I brought someone to visit...
After thinking about it, I decided to re-cook again.
"It's just a courtesy visit." Nana shook her head and smiled, "Our family's ordinary dishes are not easy to serve to guests. ”
Oh~ I nodded, and then went out with the kid to say hello to the guests.
Nana's preferences are well concealed when she is a child, but I am her mother, so I don't know anything about my children? Don't look at her smiling words, but she is definitely a little unhappy with the visitor.
I know that Nana is precocious, sensitive, sullen and awkward, but no matter what, she is her own child, and she has opinions, well~ probably won't invite me to see her, and the children with leprosy are all good at home, not to mention that my Nana is so cute.
Of course, it is better to show Xiàn on the face ~ I am an adult ~ It doesn't matter if you are hypocritical.
As soon as I raised my eyes out of the kitchen, I was stunned, there was a person sitting on the sofa in the living room, a young boy, with black hair that reached his ears, and his round body blocked the space at home, but this is not the point, the point is!
Isn't this little sumo wrestler who he is?!
…………
Hearing the movement, the young boy suddenly got up, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say hello, and somehow was stunned, staring at me for a long time before he turned his gaze to Nana, with a little inquiry in his eyes.
"Anna, this is Captain Sentomaru." Nana took a few steps forward and stood in the middle to introduce the two of them, polite to the eccentric Cheng Dù, "Captain Sentomaru, this is my mother Anna. ”
"Ah~ good evening." I choked up for a long time before I choked out, for no other reason, I really didn't know how to get along with others.
After saying hello, seeing that the other party blushed slightly, he looked the same as if he was somehow good, and after thinking about it, he took out a polite sentence like a panacea to round the field, "Let's have a meal together, right?" ”
"Then bother." The boy replied quickly, bowed slightly by the way, and pushed the boat down the river so that people couldn't react.
"Mom~" Nana shouted from the side, a little complaining in her tone, then she turned her face and said, "Captain Sentomaru-"
"Eh~ Nana, you will catch a cold when you sweat, go and tidy it up, how rude~" I was too busy to speak, lest this child be unhappy to get up and offend people, "Wait for dinner to start, hurry up and get it ready to help." ”
After sending her back to the room, I smiled at the young boy again, "Please sit down, Captain Sentomaru, I'm sorry, my Nana is spoiled by me." ”
"Please call me Sentomaru." The young man had a straight face and a very restrained attitude, "Auntie... Uh, Lady Anna. ”
As he spoke, he sat down uneasily, Xu was accustomed to resting his hands on his knees, his back straight, and he looked like he had been formally trained in the army.
After a while, the young man on the sofa began to peek into Nana's room from time to time, and it seemed that he was very concerned, and when he peeked and found me staring, he immediately sat down and blushed.
Then the two looked at each other like this.
Seeing this, I made a casual excuse and fled back to the kitchen, hiding and waiting for Nana to handle her relationships herself.
I used to have a bit of a social disorder, but now I haven't made much progress, and if it weren't for this problem, I wouldn't have chosen a career as a nurse, and wearing a mask to cover my face always makes me feel safe.
Nana's classmates... Uh~ Probably not a classmate, she is now a second-year student in the military academy, that Sentomaru is about eighteen/nine years old, he shouldn't be a student, I heard Nana call him 'captain' just now, I remember...
It's vaguely like Who's bodyguard is Sentomaru? After a long time, I forgot the plot I watched back then, and I was impressed by only a few paragraphs, most of which were related to pirates, and had nothing to do with the Naval Headquarters of Marlingford.
I can't remember much, but unfortunately there is a part about 'Sentomaru', the reason, in addition to the fact that the plot where he appeared is really full of twists and turns, he himself is also impressive.
is so round and maverick image, it can be regarded as unique among the characters full of tricks on the screen.
Speaking of which, in the sixteen years since I got here, the original characters in close contact can be counted with one hand, after all, those are all big people who are at the top of the world~ Where do the ordinary people have the opportunity to see it.
I had thought that I would stay quiet until the war began, and that the rest of the days would be just as uneventful as the islanders moved to the rear, but I didn't want the end of the year to be full of surprises.
There was one lying in the hospital, plus one sitting in the living room today.
Nana, this bear child! Looks like I'm going to have to find time to talk to her, so that she can understand that a terrible uncle at forty is not reliable, and that the captain in the living room is not a good son-in-law!
…………
Today's dinner really gave me a stomachache.
It may be that the whole person has relaxed when he went home, Nana, a rare child, made a bear when there were outsiders, first raised his eyebrows at the guest at the table, and then kept snorting coldly when I politely served him food, and finally I couldn't stop her with my eyes.
Uh~ Thanks to this young boy's good temper, his face did not change after eating the whole meal.
In the end, I had to send Nana to wash the dishes and make her own tea, so that she didn't add rat medicine to the guest's tea.
It's a real headache, but now I know that this 'Captain Sentomaru' really doesn't like Nana, and maybe there is a bit of a grudge, and it's the other party's fault.
Because the attitude of young boys is very low, low to the patience of Cheng dù.
Nana has always been sensible and obedient outside, although it is a appearance, but she does a good job, and can make her ignore it, I think there may be a bit of a knot between the two of them that cannot be untied.
But... Whether it's resentment or misunderstanding, Nana is young after all, and there are some things... Forget it, it's because I'm young that I don't need to care about the interpersonal relationships with class in the world.
Bringing tea to the young child, I smiled at him, and finally swallowed back the words that eased the atmosphere.
Even if he is a junior in the admiral's family, the flattery of the adult world with a purpose to please is still avoided~ At most, I will teach my children in private, forget it now, I can't bear to let my children be too sophisticated.
Although that's inevitable, but Nana, who is now in her prime, doesn't matter if she's willful.
…………
After receiving the tea, the young boy whispered his thanks, and by the way took out a small pot of potted plants as a souvenir of his visit, according to his words, 'the plants brought back by the navy's scientific research fleet last season, and they are ready to be promoted at this stage.' ’
Then, he gave a gift to a plant that had not yet come out, on the grounds that 'it was Nana who discovered it, and I think that it should be kept by Nana in the first place.' It's really the tone of the second generation of proper officials.
Gently resting the potted plant on the coffee table, the boy quickly glanced at the kitchen, pursed the corners of his mouth, and showed some guilt in his eyes.
I was stunned for a moment, looked at the small potted plant in front of me, and then remembered that for a while when I came back from the end of the voyage, Nana's love seemed to be wrong.
Last quarter was Nana's first time
Your own children are being bullied, right?!
After thinking about it, I finally smiled dryly at the corners of my mouth, and I also couldn't ask, not for the unspeakable hiding of the young boy's face, but for my Nana.
She refused to say, of course I have to pretend to be confused, there is such a thing as a knot in the heart, which is not something that the parties themselves want to understand, and it is useless for anyone to persuade them.
Okay~ Now that I finally found a little bit of the crux of the problem, I silently glanced at the young boy opposite, made up the various situations that might happen during the internship, and took a deep breath silently to suppress the dark thoughts that were almost born.
Parents~ Always turn their elbows in, no matter who is wrong, they must be wrong.
So ah~ If it's a relationship problem, I'll find time to talk to Nana in the evening, there are no other two-legged men all over the street, girls will always love one or two scumbags, it's okay, I will find a man who treats me like a jewel in the future.
If it's business... Uh~ I will also knock on the side to tell her, the Navy Headquarters is no different from the neighbors in the past, she used to do a good job, I believe that she will be able to control it in the future.
…………
I know that Nana is a smart child, and her qualifications are much better than mine, although I don't care about her outside, but as a parent, where can I not understand my child's situation?
The formal course of the Naval Academy is only two years, and after graduation, some cadets are assigned to serve in the station, and the rest of the Navy Headquarters will train according to their individual specialties.
Nana is extremely talented in biology, and at the end of her first year, she entered the Naval Science Department exceptionally, studying and participating in some research.
Classified civilians in the Navy are not known, but as a family member, I have been notified by the military, and I have been investigated, and for various reasons of security and confidentiality, my family has been informed in advance, and many things have no right to know.
I could only look at my child but could do nothing, her world was cut off from me, and when she was injured, she could only cry in her dreams, and I couldn't help me, and I couldn't even ask for it because of military secrets.
The sorrow of the little man raising the pride of the sky is nothing more than this.
God knows how much I regret agreeing to her in military school, in fact, I'd rather her be stupid, alas... Things in this world are really unsatisfactory 8/9/10.
