Chapter 24: Hope for Goodbye
The 11th Golden Week is coming with a bang. Su Muan did not go home, but stayed in Beicheng to continue to work part-time as a tutor to make money. On the night of September 30, I stayed up all night and completed the translation of more than 10,000 words, from conscientious to concise and concise, and finally survived to the end, sent it to the designated mailbox in a daze, and immediately collapsed on the bed unconscious.
When she woke up at night, she was hungry and had a stomachache, and she was struggling to unpack the bag of bread, her phone buzzing on the bed.
"Ren Xian's mother called".
Su Muan has been a tutor since her freshman year, but her tutoring work is a little special, to put it bluntly, she is a little nanny who takes care of the children - Ren Xian's mother only has this one child, in the fifth grade, and came back two years ago and transferred to the Beicheng branch with her mother to continue her studies.
On that day, a driver drove a Porsche Cayenne to pick her up from school, and it took an hour and a half to arrive at the Shunyi villa area. Ren Xian's home is as delicate as a candy hut in a fairy tale. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a boy open the white picket fence in the yard and run towards her.
Then he stopped in front of her,
Hello sister,
The corners of Su Mu'an's mouth twitched, and he was scattered. Everything in front of her seems to be the frame of an idol drama, maybe she is lonely and unheard of her little family, but everything in life is suddenly placed in front of her, and anyone is a little unable to relax.
She lowered her head and smiled sweetly and kindly said, "Hello baby"
Then he looked up and nodded to the beautiful but pale mother who was standing in front of the wall of roses.
The child's music teacher plays in front of a pure white grand piano
It turns out that the lives of those high-ranking cadres and rich second generations in the novel are really not covered.
Su Mu'an sighed, thinking that this might not be too outrageous, at least she hadn't seen the manor castle yet
In the afternoon, she spoke in a mixture of Chinese and English, helped the children correct the grammar of their compositions, explained to them the meaning of the Tang poems assigned by their mothers, practiced the violin with the children, and most importantly, played with them.
In fact, Su Muan is not close to children. She has a phobia of babies, and she can't handle any child who is more than three years younger than her. Affectionately coaxing is not what she is good at, and she doesn't know how to get along with him. In fact, the child likes her very much, but only likes it rather than is close, he will look at her with timid and curious eyes, carefully hand her a piece of fruit, gather around her to listen to the story, and then throw himself into the arms of others to be coquettish.
But she had to try to please the child, hoping that he would like her. It's a job that pays well, but it's not very technical. She hopes to get the job, so she wants to "inadvertently" show her talent and affinity to the hostess who has been quietly watching around.
Later, it is said that she defeated more than twenty candidates and became a glorious "governess of a wealthy family...... Su Muan didn't know if he should put this on his resume.
In this way, more than half a year has passed, and she and Ren Xian are getting closer and closer, and they don't have to pretend to be lively and cordial in front of them like they did on the first day. She slowly returned to her original self, still doing her best to give them lectures, but always a little absent-minded when playing with them.
Now she is accustomed to the sense of disparity, and she will not be stunned every time she returns to the dilapidated dormitory building from Ren Xian's house, and she is full of emotion, as if she has just crossed back.
Ren Xian's mother's phone call came from Nancheng, and the other party asked Su Mu'an if she could take her two children to Happy Valley tomorrow to play. Su Mu'an said, there must be a lot of people in Happy Valley on holidays, and the children have played all over Disneyland, so they shouldn't have much interest in Happy Valley, not to mention that it's not safe, she is afraid that something will happen.
On the other side of the phone, he repeatedly requested, and Su Mu'an felt a little strange and asked.
"Auntie, is something wrong?"
Su Muan felt awkward every time she opened her mouth to call her "auntie". She looked too young to be mortal.
"Su Mu'an, in fact, Ren Xian had a little trouble with us, he was about to run away from home and was discovered by us, and he has been very fierce to his classmates recently. Originally, I said that you don't have to come here these days, I will bring them to Nancheng, but he won't go with me. Now it's just you looking at him, I'm embarrassed to trouble you every day. You can hang out with them tomorrow and relax, okay? It's been a year since they arrived in Beicheng, and they haven't been out much. β
No matter how strange Su Muan felt, he was embarrassed to refuse.
"Then let's leave tomorrow morning, at eight o'clock. I remember that Happy Valley should open around nine o'clock, and the earlier you go, the better, otherwise you won't be able to play anything, and you will have to queue up. β
"Okay, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock at the east gate of your school, Xiao Chen will pick you up. Let him accompany you, so that you can have a response. Actually, Ren Xian just wants to come out with you alone. You can persuade me a little. β
"I'll do my best, don't worry."
Early in the morning, Su Muan stood at the east gate in a daze and blew the cold wind. It was more than one o'clock at night before I went to bed, and I was just flipping through the "Thirteenth Story" I just bought, but I didn't expect to be fascinated.
The headlights flashed twice, and Su Mu'an's eyes widened and he could already see Ren Xian's waving little hand on the back seat.
A couple not far from Su Mu'an looked at her with a surprised look at Ren Xian's summons, and she hurriedly lowered her head and got into the car.
Su Muan tried his best along the way, wanting to know quietly what the child was messing with, but he didn't expect that no matter how he observed, Ren Xian was silent a lot and rarely replied.
Ren Xian looked out the window and muttered indistinctly, "Hmm." β
There is no traffic jam, and you can see the tall rockery and various high-altitude amusement facilities in Happy Valley from the car window in less than half an hour. The driver, Xiao Chen, went to park, and Su Muan got out of the car first with his two children, and told him to wait for him under the red balloon at the main entrance. Ren Xian suddenly said loudly: "Uncle Chen, if you follow in, I won't play." β
Taking Xiao Chen was originally the result of a compromise between the child and the adults in the family, but Ren Xian unilaterally broke the contract on the spot, anyway, Xiao Chen is not his mother, so he has nothing to do with them. Su Mu'an coaxed left and right, but he didn't let go.
In the end, Su Mu'an glanced at Xiao Chenβit would be okay to follow slowly from a distance, anyway, they must have spent most of their time queuing today.
Inside, Su Mu'an led them straight to the "Ant Kingdom", where there are relaxing rides, children's restaurants and a 4D cinema that children love.
Children rarely complain like adults, and the two Disneyland children are still very excited in Happy Valley. Ren Xian's interest also rose, and he sat on the little frog Lele and screamed, waving his hand for Su Mu'an to take pictures of them below.
After watching a 4D children's movie called "Ant Kingdom" that made Su Mu'an Lei De feel comfortable, they sat down in the small restaurant and prepared for lunch.
Su Muan left them in their seats, picked up their wallets and went to the line. Ren Xian was still shouting vigorously in the back: "Ice cream should be mixed with vanilla and chocolate!" β
"I said, you really want our big group of people to eat with children, it's inhumane!"
Su Mu'an, who was in the queue, looked back at the person who was shouting with some impatience, but he didn't expect to hear a familiar voice answering.
"What's the solution, there are so many fewer people here than there just now, and there are more types of lunch. You are so dignified, when my brother and sister said that the ant train was very cute, why did you say that you want to sit on it? β
Everyone was in a hurry, and many parents were already watching this group of young people who suddenly broke in with wary and surprised eyes.
