Chapter 57: Happy Notes
After Chen Xiang knew that Wang Yan had passed the physical examination, he urged Wang Yan to go home.
"Don't go back, Yan Bingbing and I will play here for two days." Wang Yan said seriously.
"Burnt melon bear, hurry back and take the child." Chen Xiang ordered loudly, through the air, Wang Yan could also imagine Chen Xiang's current expression, and his brows must have wrinkled together. "Roasted melon bear" is a word coined by Chen Xiang, which is a bit like 'getting carried away', and it is not appropriate, it can only be understood, not spoken.
"The tickets are all bought, the night after tomorrow." Wang Yan continued.
"Retreat, come back quickly!" Chen Xiang's voice became louder.
"I won't go back, I'll work when I go back, and I'll die of exhaustion." Wang Yan said.
"Did you really buy the ticket the day after tomorrow? Then you can play for two days, my wife and I are guilty. Chen Xiang's voice softened.
"No, I lied to you." Wang Yan burst out laughing.
"Well, my wife is so good, wife, what time will you arrive tomorrow, I'll pick you up."
"It's six o'clock in the morning, the factory is busy, don't come. I'll go back on my own. Wang Yan knows how to do things more seriously, and because of this, there is a little less romance in life.
"It's okay, I'll get up early and take Xiaomu with me." Chen Xiang had already thought about it.
"That's not good, the child hasn't woken up yet." Wang Yan prevaricated, and was a little willing to Chen Xiang to pick him up.
"Then I wrapped her in a thin quilt and took her with me. Let her sleep in the car. "I don't know what's going on, Chen Xiang is going to pick up Wang Yan no matter what.
"You're not making breakfast?" Wang Yan began to be slowly resolved by Chen Xiang's stubbornness.
"In the evening, talk to Xinran and let her help cook tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up. Chen Xiang slowly got used to the stressful life, and slowly learned to seek a moment of relief from the pressure, and he felt that picking up Wang Yan was a pleasant thing. At the end of the year, no matter whether the factory is busy or not, he always has no free time, rather than waiting for the rich and expensive to leisure, it is better to find all kinds of easy factors in life.
"Alright then, I'll wait for you at the exit." Wang Yan said.
"Hmm!" Chen Xiang happily hung up the phone.
The next morning, it was 6:40, and Chen Xiang had not yet arrived. Wang Yan began to get angry, his impression of Chen Xiang was always unpunctual, and dialed Chen Xiang's phone: "Where is it?" I've been waiting for you for half an hour, and Yan Bingbing has already arrived home. β
"This is it, this is itβ" Chen Xiang panicked as if he had done something wrong.
"Really good, tell you not to come, you have to come to pick it up. I walked on my own, and I was almost home. Wang Yan's voice was full of taste, she hated being unpunctual the most, but this Chen Xiang seemed to be late every time.
"Traffic jam, wife, wait five minutes and you'll be there." After Chen Xiang explained, he defended again: "Bragging, you won't be able to get home if you take the subway, how can I drive fast, and I'll be fine in a while." β
"Don't make excuses, it's a traffic jam early in the morning. Wait another five minutes and I'll be gone! "Wang Yan is usually amiable with outsiders, but she is strict with this Chen Xiang, and what she annoys the most is waiting for people. In private, if you wait for a long time, you will be annoyed, and if you are annoyed, you will get angry. Chen Xiang was angry with her about this, but he always forgot it, and always used his hot face to stick to her cold ass, as if he owed her a lot of silver taels in his previous life.
Wang Yan hung up the phone, and also realized that her temper was inexplicable, and she wanted Chen Xiang to pick her up with kindness, but she was reprimanded by herself. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. She is in this kind of temperament, for the trivial things in life, the temper comes and goes quickly, faster than the lightning. Thinking of seeing Xiaomu for a while, her heart was like a flower blooming again, and it was beautiful.
"Look, don't you go quickly." Wang Yan was standing at the door of a dumpling shop in a daze, and Chen Xiang came to him with Xiao Mu in his arms.
"Hehe-" Wang Yan laughed, "Xiao Mu hasn't woken up yet?" β
"Well, you don't know she sleeps until eight or nine o'clock every day." When Chen Xiang saw Wang Yan, he had a sense of freshness for no reason, in fact, Wang Yan was still Wang Yan.
"Eat some dumplings." Wang Yan said.
Chen Xiang held the child, and Wang Yan carried a backpack into the dumpling shop. There will not be many people, Chen Xiang held the child to find a seat and waited, Wang Yan asked for a big bowl of dumplings, and brought out a plate of vinegar, the two ate quietly, Xiaomu slept on her father's lap, so peaceful.
Wang Yan's appetite is always very good, usually as long as she is hungry, she is always very involved in eating. Chen Xiang looked at her eating dumplings seriously, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, Wang Yan drank pork liver soup when she was confined. A few times, he saw Wang Yan holding a large bowl of pork liver soup and drinking it without saying a word in a few minutes. On a hot day, Wang Yan was so drunk that his forehead was sweaty, and he didn't feel hot. Chen Xiang hated eating pork liver, just because he saw Wang Yan eating so deliciously, he couldn't help but be curious about pork liver, and then he had a good impression of pork liver and liked to eat it.
"Are you full? Go ask for another bowl. Chen Xiang asked, looking at the remaining three dumplings on the plate.
"Full, are you full?" Only then did Wang Yan take care to talk to Chen Xiang.
"I'm full, if you're not full, come back again. I can't finish eating and take it home. Chen Xiang remembered Wang Yan's seriousness when she ate dumplings just now, and wanted her to eat enough.
"It's full." Wang Yan said, wiped her mouth and said, "I'll hold Xiaomu, you eat." β
"Bastard, after eating, I remembered to hold the child." Chen Xiang feigned anger.
"Hey, hey, heyβ" Wang Yan laughed happily. Laughing like a child made a mistake and was caught by an adult who spoiled her.
After the two finished eating dumplings and got into the car, Chen Xiang was still holding Xiaomu. "I'll hold it, you drive." Wang Yan said.
"It's okay, she slept well, she woke up bad." Chen Xiang said. In fact, he is used to driving while holding his child. Wang Yan sometimes thinks, I don't know what blessings this Xiaomu didn't know in her previous life, she had Chen Xiang to be her father in this life, and she really loved her to the heart.
"You said I was admitted, and I was rewarded. I've passed the retest now, what are you going to reward me? Wang Yan didn't fight with Chen Xiang to hold the child, she remembered that Chen Xiang had promised to reward her.
"If you are admitted, I still have to spend money, what are the prizes!" Chen Xiang said in a disappointing tone.
"If you say that it doesn't count, then I'll play when I go to school, and I won't give you a good lesson." Wang Yan threatened. This trick works on Chen Xiang. I only heard Chen Xiang say, "Then wife, what reward do you want, I'll buy it for you." β
"Then you can buy me a book about the universe." Wang Yan said.
"What's that thing to look at, childish." Chen Xiang said without thinking about it.
"I want to see it. I think that the books of the universe make people feel expansive, or they feel oppressive when they think about living in a small world. Wang Yan said stubbornly.
Chen Xiang didn't understand why Wang Yan had this idea, he thought that the world was wide enough, and he might not be able to finish his life. But he seemed to understand Wang Yan's mental illusions, so he asked, "Where is it sold?" β
"Xidan Book Building has it." Wang Yan replied happily.
"Hmm. Then let's go. β
When the family of three arrived at the book building, Xiaomu woke up. "The baby is awake," Chen Xiang said with his hand to brush the shampoo on the child's forehead.
"Daddy-Mom-"
"Hey"
"Heyβ" The two of them happily agreed at the same time.
"Does Ogie want to eat KFC? Dad took Xiaomu there. Chen Xiang asked happily.
Xiaomu didn't know what KFC was, but he only understood that it was "eat", so he said, "Go eat KFC." β
The corners of Chen Xiang's mouth smiled, "Okay, Dad, let's take Xiaomu." β
"Then I'll go to the library first." Wang Yan said.
"Isn't this next to each other, go with the child after eating. Maybe Xiaomu will want to buy a book too. Chen Xiang said.
"Doesn't that waste time? Or, buy her some fries, burgers, takeaways. Wang Yan said, and the kung fu of talking has entered the KFC store.
"Okay, that'll do fine." Chen Xiang hugged Xiaomu and walked to the counter of the ordering and cash register, "Let's have a children's menu." β
"Good. Sixty-eight dollars. The beautiful saleswoman said. So expensive! Wang Yan muttered beside him, Chen Xiang turned a deaf ear, took out a 100 yuan bill and handed it to the salesman, "Give." Pack us for takeout. β
"Okay." The beautiful saleswoman agreed, and quickly packed the children's package and handed it over, Wang Yan took over, opened it, took out a french fries from it and put it in Xiaomu's mouth, "Xiaomu eats." β
"I'm going to take it myselfβ" Xiao Mu reached for the food in Wang Yan's hand. Wang Yan said, "Mom will help you take it, or you won't drop it." β
"I'm going to take it myself." Kogi emphasized. A child's endurance sometimes exceeds that of an adult. "Let her hold it herself, she can't drop it." Chen Xiang said, reaching out and taking out the fries from it and putting them in Xiao Mu's hand. Chen Xiang is very fond of this Xiaomu and gives the child unlimited freedom.
The bookstore is very close to KFC, and the three of them arrived at the bookstore in a while. Chen Xiang hadn't been to the bookstore for a long time, and the smell of all kinds of books came to his face all at once, and he only felt a long-lost sense of youth rising from the bottom of his heart.
"You go and ask where there is the book you want to buy, I'll take Xiaomu to look at it on the first floor, and call me when I'm done." Chen Xiang said.
"Well, you take Xiaomu to the second floor, where there are children's books. I've bought it, call your phone. Wang Yan said, walking towards the computer reference area at the door, Chen Xiang listened, and sure enough, he hugged Xiaomu and went to the second floor. On the second floor, there are not only children's books, but also toys. Xiao Mu came to the bookstore for the first time, and was attracted by all kinds of illustrated books, flipping through this and that for a while. Chen Xiang hurriedly followed behind her, putting the messed books back in order.
If it had been a few years ago, Chen Xiang would never have had such patience to accompany his children, but now, he feels that it is a great happiness to be able to accompany his children. Xiao Mu's curious eyes, excited expression, and constantly turning little hands made him feel that life was so beautiful. And his heart became pure like a child.
"Dad, what is this?" Xiao Mu asked, pointing to a picture book with a bear on the cover.
"This is a puppy bear, look, there's a sika deer next to the puppy bear." Chen Xiang happily accompanied Xiao Mu to look at it seriously, as if the book also attracted him.
"I've bought the book. On the first floor, come down. After a long time, Wang Yan called.
"Okay."
Chen Xiang picked up Xiao Mu in his right hand, and held a few small picture books that Xiao Mu just loved in his left hand, "Let's go, mom shouted, dad bought these books home and showed them to the baby, okay?" βγ
"Okay-" Xiao Mu responded happily, and his two little hands still couldn't help flipping through the book that Chen Xiang was holding in his hand.
When checking out, Wang Yan complained that Chen Xiang bought so many books for Xiaomu, saying that Xiaomu didn't know how to read. Chen Xiang knew that Wang Yan was distressed about money, but said happily, "If you don't understand, you can buy it, as long as she likes to watch it." In Chen Xiang's eyes, those books are like happy notes, bringing happiness to children and making him feel happy. How long has it been since you read a book? In the past, he thought he loved to read books the most, but after he came to society, he hadn't been reading for a long time.
The family of three happily left the bookstore, and as soon as Wang Yan got in the car, she couldn't wait to flip through the book "The Great Exploration of the Universe" that she had just bought.
Looking at Wang Yan's intoxicated and reassuring expression, Chen Xiang still couldn't help asking, "What's there to see?" β
"You don't know, just looking at those descriptions makes you feel open-mindedβthe vast universe, the mysterious Milky Way, our solar system, the Earth β the home of humanity." Wang Yan said without raising her head, Xiao Mu likes to sit on Chen Xiang's lap, and she is happy to enjoy her freedom.
Chen Xiang still didn't understand why Wang Yan liked this book, but he thought that maybe those contents were like happy notes, jumping in her visual nerves. And for him, every part of this morning is like a beautiful note, jumping, stimulating his every nerve, how long has he not experienced this relaxed family life?
