Okay, just arrange.

Knife Face simply helped me clean up the kitchen, and I helped her, and Knife Face praised me, saying that my skills in living alone have grown, and it is not without benefits to go abroad.

Ask me when I will graduate and when I will be back.

"Besides, if you really live well over there, you won't necessarily come back."

The knife face unscrewed the faucet, and the water flowed out of it, and the dishes collided with each other in the sink, making a noisy sound. "You haven't come back, what about the children and the gentleman?"

"Sir? Oh. I lowered my head and put the cutting board back in place.

"Sir hasn't been back for a long time." She said, with her head down, her voice not loud, and the sound of water almost overshadowed her voice.

"Haven't been back for a long time?" I turned to the side of the knife in the face. "No one told me, who will take care of the children?"

This was something I didn't expect. How could he be so irresponsible?

I'm a little angry.

Knifeface also stopped, and she closed the hose.

"You walk on the front foot, and it won't be long before he leaves on the back foot, but before you leave......" Blade Face lowered her head, she wouldn't look into my eyes, and to be honest, I don't know if she wouldn't or didn't dare to look into my eyes.

"She's been gone for so long?" I grew angrier and threw the rag onto the table. "Why didn't anyone tell me?"

This man is so unreliable, if I go, he will go, what are the two children? What's going on? They have fathers and mothers, Chen Nian needless to say, ouch, it really is, it's really embarrassing for two children to be parents like us, and no one is in tune.

I subconsciously glanced out, and saw Haiping chatting happily with Chen Nian and Mason, I don't know what they were talking about, this meeting made me feel a lot more settled, and I calmed down a little.

"He's been gone for so long? Tell me the half of the sentence you didn't finish. What happened before leaving? Sold the company and ran away with all the money? ”

Knife Face raised his head, "Look at what you think of Mr., Mr. is this kind of person." ”

I turned around and picked up the rag that I had just put down. "So what kind of person is he? Hmph, forget it, I'm not going to argue with you about what kind of person he is. Tell me, what happened before he left? ”

Blade Face turned away, probably hesitating whether to tell me the truth. She unscrewed the faucet.

"I'm telling you, tell me the truth. Otherwise, I will fire you and not let you be with my two sons. ”

The fire in the knife face was successfully ignited by my threat, and she turned off the faucet in resentment, then turned to look at me, and I raised my chin slightly to show that this time I would fight for every inch of land. The arrogance of the knife face gradually calmed in my eyes, and I decided to add a handful of firewood at this time to make the fire burn more vigorously.

"You think I'm joking with you, you don't tell me about such a big thing. I'm the mother of the children, if you don't tell me the truth, how can I trust the child to you? No, I don't want to study anymore, it's a big deal to drop out, I personally take these two children to live, and then this home is up to me, I

Whoever you say is who you use. What else is there to blow my beard and stare at me? ”

Knife Strip's face fell, "I didn't say anything." Her tone was unpleasant.

"Before the gentleman left, there was a very beautiful woman, either going to the company or coming to the house to look for him, no matter where they were, they would close the office and talk secretly for a long time, and then the gentleman would say goodbye. I asked Ah Dong, and Ah Dong told me not to ask around. Fortunately, there is Wan Qian, otherwise Ah Dong would not be busy alone. You see Ah Dong has lost weight, he has to manage the children and the company, to be honest, Ah Dong is really interesting. ”

I didn't speak, mainly because I didn't know what to say. It stands to reason that we've been separated for so long and I'm starting the life I want again, and it's understandable that he wants to start his life again. It's just that his goodbye really makes me feel sad, and I think the children must be very disappointed, Chen Nian and Mason actually love him.

"He didn't tell anyone when he left? Didn't say anything to the children? How did the children react when he was gone? ”

I suddenly felt worried, I thought Chen Nian wouldn't ask, Mason wouldn't ask, they knew that there was a problem between adults, and they couldn't help us solve it now, so they chose to be silent and gave us adults time to deal with our own psychological conflicts and deal with the relationship between each other.

It's really too difficult for people to live for a lifetime, sometimes it's the children who make the adults uncomfortable, sometimes the adults make the children uncomfortable, fate is always biased, and two equally worthy people are not together.

Suddenly, I was a little lost, I felt that I was really a failure, and I was thinking, if Xiao Han hadn't guessed his true identity at the beginning------ forget it, what do you want to do? Even if we don't guess his true identity, there is a problem for the two of us.

The willfulness of our youth, in the end, we still have to pay for it ourselves.

I went out and saw three children. Oh, I don't know why, somehow I took Haiping as Huaiping, the name between them is just one word, and the voice is actually very similar to Huaiping, I finally understood why I was interested in the young man in front of me when I sat on the sofa, and there were many places on him with the shadow of Huaiping.

"Haiping." I called out to him, "Look, Chen Nian and Mason like you a lot." Your parents are not in the local area, if it is convenient to make an appointment for a light meal one day, we will get married, I have never said, in fact, you are really like my ------ son. Don't think about it, I'm not taking advantage of you. ”

Zhang Haiping looked at me and was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted.

"Okay." He was very happy, "My mother and my stepfather are here, but my stepfather has been out in the past two days, and he will be back in two days, and then we will come out to have a light meal together, my stepfather is also in business, let's sit together and talk, maybe you know each other." ”

"Oh?" I suddenly became interested in his stepfather and maybe really knew him. "What do you call your stepfather?"

Haiping winked at me. "Leave it in suspense, and you'll know when the time comes.

”

He said he would call his stepfather when he got back and then let me know the exact time.

That night, I had insomnia, got up and wandered in front of the door of Chen Nian and Mason's room for a long time, I really wanted to push the door in to see them, I remember when Mason was a child, sleeping alone, long eyelashes covered the lower eyelids, breathing smoothly and evenly, and his complexion was very peaceful and serene. Now that they are all older, I have not been by their side for the past six months, and I don't know how they are doing, maybe they have learned to adapt, or they may have hidden the dissatisfaction they have given them in life subconsciously.

I hesitated to wait until the school started again.

"Ahem."

When I turned around, I saw Zhang Haiping standing behind me.

"I heard a voice, so I got up and looked. I've been watching you standing here for a while. ”

I smiled, and the young descendants saw what was on my mind, and it felt weird and a little embarrassed.

He sat straight on the sofa by himself, and I walked over and sat on another sofa, and there was fruit and tea on the table, but the tea was cold, and Haiping would make tea, re-cook the water, and ask me if I want to drink white tea or green tea?

"The white tea is ready." I say. "But how are we going to sleep after the tea?"

"It's a big deal to catch up on sleep tomorrow. I can't sleep right now anyway. Do you know why insomnia is painful? ”

"Why?" I asked, and Haiping poured me a cup of tea and brought it to me.

"Because people love to talk to their insomnia, insomnia is a big deal and don't sleep, but that person wants to sleep, and he can't sleep, so he suffers. In fact, it's better to comply with the insomnia, let him lose, and then sleep when he is sleepy, what's there? ”

Sounds reasonable.

I couldn't sleep anyway, so I picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

This white tea smells good, not fragrant, and not too astringent, but it doesn't have much aftertaste in the mouth.

"I don't know if you know about my family situation, but I was hesitating to give up my studies abroad and come back to take care of my two brothers. They're all growing up, I don't want to miss out on their growth, and emotionally, they need mom too. ”

Zhang Haiping didn't speak, but filled my tea.

"I'm not qualified to advise on these big ideas in life." Haiping said, "But I know one thing, for a while my mother thought that he was doing good for me and paying for me, and her so-called good for me and paying for me almost ruined me." Because as long as people give, they want to be rewarded, and they have a sense of giving, and this sense of giving will invisibly put too much pressure on the other party. If you don't follow what you want, you will say that we don't understand filial piety, don't know how to be grateful, and torture ourselves enough------ because if you say it's for your children, you will consciously or unconsciously put all your energy on your children. Try to think about it, if there is a monitor, 24 hours to implement no blind spot monitoring for you, can you live happily? ”

"I can't." I'm thankful for his metaphor, it's apt, it's very vivid, and it's actually quite enlightening to me.

"Haiping, you are very mature. What kind of person is your stepfather,

I feel like he's completely changed you. I can't imagine you having a ridiculous and wayward past. ”

Zhang Haiping smiled again.

"Everyone who seems to be calm and breezy has experienced magnificent waves. The tide of the tide is flat because it has been turbulent. ”

"But I still suggest that you openly and honestly ask the children for their own opinions, talk openly about this topic, you may have gains, and you will find the best way to solve this problem." ”

I nodded and stood up, "Although I drank tea, I think I can sleep well today." ”

I didn't give up studying, Chen Nian and Mason didn't agree, they were more independent and stronger than I imagined, especially Mason, he said something to me, which impressed me very much.

He said, "Mom, please remember, you are my mother, but you are not me."

Haiping didn't marry me after all, because he said that his stepfather's affairs had not been dealt with, and when his stepfather came back, it was estimated that we would start school again, and we were not afraid of being late. What am I anxious about? It's just that Adong feels bitter, he has to be busy at both ends, he has to take care of his family and the company, and there is no woman to take care of his diet and daily life, but fortunately, he can do a good job of logistics.

We would talk every night, we would talk on video, and Ah Dong would occasionally bring Chen Nian and Mason over to see me. I am very glad that I accepted Zhang Haiping's opinion at that time, and if I didn't accept his opinion, maybe the story between me and Huaiping would have to be played out in a loop.

The most critical steps in life really depend on choice, and choice must test the IQ and EQ of the person concerned.

Two years later.

Zhang Haiping and I returned to China on vacation, during which I asked his stepfather again, and he said that his stepfather really didn't have anything to do now, and he happened to be free during this time.

I said that's good, come out, I have more sons.

The next day, Haiping called me, told me the time and place, and asked me to come and meet. I originally wanted to take the children with me, but then I thought it would be better to forget it, and first meet with the parents of the other party to finalize the details.

As a result, he went to the meeting alone. When I got there, I saw Zhang Haiping sitting at the table alone, "What about your family?" I asked.

Haiping raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Immediately, they just told me that they have arrived in the lobby." ”

"Oh." I put down my bag and sat down, when there was a knock on the door, and I saw Chen Nian and Mason first, followed by ---------------Zhang Ruolei!"

The former Zhang Ruolei!
