On Saturday night, Tan Man came back from Qiao Ning's house to take a shower, and as soon as he put on his hearing aids, he received a call from Gu Mochen.

"Miss Tan?!"

Gu Mochen's voice on the phone was low and magnetic, in fact, she wanted to take off her hearing aids impulsively several times, and use the residual hearing in her right ear to listen to his real voice hard.

"Lawyer Gu!"

"Sorry to bother you on the weekend."

His cultivation always makes people feel happy.

"You're welcome, what's the matter?"

"Did you read a storybook to Xiaobei before?"

Tan Man was stunned for a moment, since last week, she really didn't let Xiaobei fall asleep listening to that cold story machine, but read it to him herself.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"He refuses to listen to the storyteller now, and he's throwing a tantrum."

Tan Man couldn't help but make up for his crazy picture, and said with a smile: "Then you can read it to him, that story machine is cold and cold, and I don't like it." ”

The other end of the phone was silent for several seconds, and she added: "Bedtime communication is a good training opportunity!" ”

After a while, Gu Mochen asked, "What kind of book did you read to him?" ”

"The Fantastic Journey of the Shepherd Boy, see if you can buy an e-book?!"

"Wait a minute!" After Gu Mochen finished speaking, he turned on the hands-free and put his phone aside, took the ipad and searched for it, "Paul. Coelho's? ”

"That's right."

clicked to buy, and Gu Mochen immediately browsed a few pages: "This kind of book, Xiaobei can understand it?!" ”

Tan Man heard the doubts in his tone.

"Don't underestimate children's IQ and EQ, many times adults unilaterally feel that they can't understand, in fact, they can accept the subtle influence, at least the story of this shepherd boy, Xiaobei likes to listen."

The other person paused: "Where have you read?" ”

"I'll see." She immediately took the book out of her bag, "On page nineteen, I read that my father had given the boy three gold coins to travel all over the world. ”

"Okay, I'll read it to him!"

She could imagine that when Gu Mochen told Xiaobei the story, his expression must have been jerky.

Maybe in the workplace, he is full of ambition and handy, but in the matter of coaxing children, he does lack talent.

Tan Man couldn't help but remind: "Lawyer Gu, when telling a story, remember to bring some emotion." ”

Hearing the other party's slightly mischievous tone, Gu Mochen put down his iPad, thought about it, and evoked a silent smile.

"Are you home?" Without waiting for the other party's answer, Gu Mochen said again, "It's a big night, a girl's house, don't run out all the time, it's not safe!" ”

I don't know why, a common concern, in this dead of night, seemed to suddenly overturn something, Tan Man's heart, which was beating regularly, was sensitively bumped and messed up the rhythm.

"I, I'm at home."

"Well, I'm going to coax Xiaobei, good night."

Tan Man looked at the three words 'Gu Mochen' on the screen, thought about it carefully, and smiled meaningfully at his sudden concern, and the calm lake in his eyes seemed to be blown by a spring breeze, creating ripples.

……

Before going to work on Monday morning, Tan Man went out half an hour early, walked to the door of the large community in the next block, and waited for the landlord, Aunt Lan, to prepare to pay the rent for the next quarter in advance.

Tan Man's rented house is a unit fund-raising house more than ten years ago, although there is no large community facilities, but it is close to the school, cost-effective, there is a swing in the big yard downstairs of the house, sometimes come back at night, when you don't want to go home, you can also swing downstairs, and the most important thing is that the landlord's family is very good to her.

The landlord's family bought the first floor of the fund-raising house and gave it to his old mother and nanny to live in, so they would come over every day to take care of it, and over time, they became familiar with Tan Man.

I didn't see Aunt Lan at the security booth, but I saw Aunt Lan's son Zhang Jiakai first.

"It's small! I haven't seen you for a few days, why has it shrunk again? As soon as Zhang Jiakai saw Tan Man, he teased her with a wicked smile, in fact, Tan Man is not short, but he has a small skeleton and a baby face, and the whole person looks petite and exquisite.

Zhang Jiakai is about the same age as her, perhaps because the family conditions are not bad, he is born arrogant, and he is born with a peach blossom face, so he has become the type of bad boy who is most loved by girls today, but in fact, he is a pure child, except for always bullying her.

"Yo, it's really rare to see the eldest young master of the Zhang family early in the morning." Tan Man didn't admit defeat and deliberately teased him.

"Master, I am now a hard-working and promising young man!"

She nodded solemnly: "Yes, so hardworking that you went on a date with those little models of yours so early?!" ”

Zhang Jiakai frowned: "What kind of little model are you looking for, my guys who eat are all locked up by my father." ”

"Isn't it, Uncle Zhang is finally here for real this time?!"

Zhang Jiakai is a photography fanatic, since college, he has used his credit card to overdraft a bunch of photography equipment, specializing in shooting some literary and artistic films, he has shown Tan Man his so-called masterpieces, I have to admit that he does have a talent for photography, and the things he shoots are very pleasing to the eye, with a few beautiful words, he can simply deceive a bunch of little girls.

It's a pity that Uncle Zhang resolutely disagreed with him to do this, not because he was afraid of playing SLR for three generations, but because their family was indeed running a transportation company, and he was the only successor.

"Fortunately, I saved them with a delaying tactic, you don't know, I almost let him smash them." Zhang Jiakai said, "Last month, I was going to set up a photography studio, and the place was negotiated with people, but my father found out and stopped all my cards, and now I can only make some money obediently and make a comeback." ”

When Tan Man heard this, he smiled happily and gloated: "Who let you bully me all the time, God can't see it." ”

At this time, not far away, Xue Yuelan walked by with a vegetable basket, although she was over fifty years old, as long as the material conditions were good, her body and skin could naturally be maintained very well, she saw her son chatting with Manman, she couldn't help but squint and laugh, for Manman, this girl, she liked it in her heart.

"Manman, is Jiakai bullying you again?!" Xue Yuelan smiled lovingly.

"That's right, Aunt Lan, you have to call the shots for me!"

"Mom, I'm going to be late for work, go first." As soon as Zhang Jiakai saw his mother appear, he immediately flashed, and he could recite the next words to nag.

Seeing this, Tan Man also took out an envelope from his bag: "Aunt Lan, this is the rent for the next quarter, you count it." ”

Xue Yuelan took it and put it directly into her pocket: "Count what, silly boy." ”

Manman smiled: "Aunt Lan, then I'll go to work first." ”

"Oh, good. By the way, Manman, your Uncle Zhang brought back a few partridges from the mountains, come over and drink soup in the evening. ”

Manman sighed and said regretfully: "Thank you, Aunt Lan, but I recently found a part-time job, and I don't have time to go home for dinner after work." ”

"It's good for young people to struggle, but they also have to pay attention to their bodies."

"Know, then I'll go first!" Tan Man smiled and quickly slipped away, in fact, she and Zhang Jiakai both understood that Xue Yuelan wanted to match their minds, fortunately, the two tacitly stood on the same front, and they only regarded each other as friends.

As soon as I returned to school, I hadn't sat down for three minutes when my colleague Lemon rushed over in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Tan Man looked at her with wide eyes.

"Xiaoqing, do you remember, that very beautiful and tall little girl in the third grade, the one with a little problem with intelligence, didn't you intern in her class for two months when you first came, forgot?!"

Tan Man tried to think about it: "Oh, Xiaoqing, what's wrong?" ”

"She wants to drop out of school, and her parents will go through the formalities at the political and educational office."

"Why? She seems to be supported by poverty, and she has managed to get a place in school. ”

"I just gossiped about a shocking secret, the He Li who resigned last month turned out to be a pervert of xxxx, xx her, fortunately attempted."

"Huh? Teacher He Li in the sixth grade? She has seen a lot of news about campus xx, but what really happened around her is still extremely shocking.

"It is said that there are people behind him, and he was detained for 15 days before he was released, Xiaoqing's parents are ordinary migrant workers, how can they have the ability to seek justice, so the family used to withdraw from school to protest."

"Hey, people are terrible, don't talk nonsense."

"I heard from Xiaoqing's head teacher, do you think it's nonsense?!" Lemon looked indignant, "I said, that Teacher He also won an excellent teacher last semester, why did he suddenly resign, it is really human-faced and beastly, even mentally handicapped children are not spared." ”

Tan Man bit her lip, she remembered that when she first came to the school, He Li also took the initiative to ask her twice, and said that she helped new employees integrate into the school, but fortunately there was no follow-up at that time, now that I think about it, he is really a person with ill intentions.

"Is there any compensation or something? Otherwise, it's too pitiful. ”

"Who knows, the school is hiding it so well, even our teachers haven't heard the news."

At this time, Sister Ling, the director of the department, came back from outside, her sharp eyes swept over, Lemon retreated to her seat in horror, and the two of them instantly buried their heads on the table.

……

That night, Tan Man came to Gu Mochen's house on time, and the door was opened by Aunt Chen, who had just come back from a month's leave, and greeted her politely.

And today's Xiaobei, when he saw her, took the initiative to call her "vine", which surprised her.

Tan Man ran over, pinched his delicate face, and praised: "Wow, Xiaobei is awesome, you took the initiative to greet my sister, my sister is so happy." ”

"Xiaobei, you have to call Sister Manman!" Aunt Chen corrected.

"It's okay, we're friends, right, Xiaobei." Tan Man smiled, "By the way, Lawyer Gu hasn't come back yet?" ”

"No, I guess I'm working overtime, I'm not here this month, but he's busy, he has to work again, and he has to take care of Xiaobei, fortunately, Miss Tan, you're here." Aunt Chen washed the dishes in the kitchen and walked out.

"Aunt Chen, just call me Manman, by the way, your daughter and children are okay?!"

"Okay, well, I gave birth to a big fat boy, and I'm out of confinement, so I'm not going to come back quickly." When it comes to her grandson, Aunt Chen smiled from ear to ear and beat the joy in her heart.

"Congratulations, then you should go back quickly, there is me."

"Okay, then I'll go first."
