On Saturday night, Tan Man came back from Qiao Ning's house and took a shower. She had just put on her hearing aid when she received a call from Gu Mochen.

"Miss Tan?!"

Gu Mochen's voice was deep and magnetic on the phone. In fact, she wanted to impulsively take off the hearing aid several times, and use the remaining hearing in her right ear to listen to his real voice.

"Lawyer Gu!"

"Sorry to bother you this weekend."

His self-cultivation always makes people feel happy.

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

"Did you read story books to Xiaobei before?"

Tan Man froze for a moment. Since last week, she did not let Xiao Bei listen to that cold story to fall asleep, but read it to him herself.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"He refuses to listen to the story machine now, and is losing his temper."

Tan Man couldn't help imagining the picture of him going crazy, and said with a smile: "Then you can read it to him, that story machine is cold, and I don't like it."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds, and she added another sentence: "Communication before going to bed is a good training opportunity!"

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

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

"Wait a minute!" After Gu Mochen finished speaking, he turned on the speakerphone and put the phone aside, took the ipad to search, "Paolo Coelho's?"

"Yes."

After clicking buy, Gu Mochen immediately browsed a few pages: "This kind of book, Xiaobei can understand?!"

Tan Man heard doubts from his tone.

"Don't underestimate children's IQ and EQ. Most of the time, adults think they can't understand. In fact, they can accept the subtle influence. At least Xiaobei likes to hear the story of the little shepherd boy."

The other party paused: "Where did you read?"

"Let me take a look." She immediately took out the book from her bag, "No. 19 page, read that the father gave the boy three gold coins to let him travel around."

"That's fine, I'll read it to him!"

She could imagine that when Gu Mochen was telling stories to Xiaobei, his expression must be jerky and dull.

Maybe in the workplace, he is confident and handy, but when it comes to coaxing children, he does lack a little talent.

Tan Man couldn't help reminding: "Lawyer Gu, when you tell a story, remember to be emotional."

Hearing the slightly mischievous tone of the other party, Gu Mochen put down the ipad, thought for a while, and evoked a silent smile.

"Have you gone home?" Without waiting for the other party's answer, Gu Mochen said again, "At night, a girl's house, don't keep running out, it's not safe!"

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

"I, I'm 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 subtly smiled at his sudden concern. The calm lake in his eyes seemed to be blown by the spring breeze , circled a piece of ripples.

……

Before going to work on Monday morning, Tan Man left the house half an hour early, walked to the gate of the large community in the next block, and waited for the landlord, Aunt Lan, to pay the next quarter's rent in advance.

The house that Tan Man rented was a fund-raising house more than ten years ago. Although it does not have the complete facilities of a large community, it is close to the school and cost-effective. There is also a swing in the big yard downstairs. When she got home, she could still hang out downstairs. Most importantly, the landlord's family treated her very well.

The landlord's family bought the first floor of the fund-raising house and gave it to his old mother and nanny, so they would come to take care of her every day. Over time, they became acquainted with Tan Man. Aunt Lan saw that she was a girl living in Shanghai, and she also Bring her some soup from time to time.

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

"Small! I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you shrunk?" When Zhang Jiakai saw Tan Man, he teased her with a smirk. In fact, Tan Man is not short, but her frame is small, and she has a baby face. It looks petite and exquisite.

Zhang Jiakai's age is about the same as hers, maybe because of his good family conditions, his inherent domineering arrogance, coupled with his natural peach blossom face, he seems to be the type of bad boy that is most popular among girls nowadays, but in fact he She is a pure and good child, except that she always loves to bully her.

"Hey, it's really rare to see the young master of the Zhang family early in the morning." Tan Man refused to admit defeat and deliberately teased him.

"Master, I am now a hardworking and promising young man!"

She nodded solemnly: "Yeah, working so hard to date your little models so early?!"

Zhang Jiakai frowned: "What kind of little model are you looking for? My dad has locked up my eating guys."

"No way, Uncle Zhang is finally here for real this time?!"

Zhang Jiakai is an avid pursuer of photography. Since college, he has overdrawn a lot of photography equipment with credit cards, specializing in shooting some literary and fresh films. He has shown Tan Man his so-called masterpiece, and he has to admit that he does have a talent for photography. The things that are photographed are quite pleasing to the eye, and with a few paragraphs of beautiful text, they can fool a bunch of little girls.

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

"Fortunately, I saved them by delaying the attack. You don't know, he almost smashed them." Zhang Jiakai said, "I was planning to set up a photography studio last month, and the place was negotiated with people, but my dad It was discovered and all my cards were suspended, now I can only make some money obediently and make a comeback."

Tan Man listened, smiled happily, and said gloatingly: "Whoever makes you bully me all the time, God can't see it."

At this time, not far away, Xue Yuelan walked by carrying a vegetable basket. Although she is over fifty, as long as the material conditions are favorable, her body and skin can naturally be maintained well. Seeing her son chatting with Manman, she couldn't help squinting and smiling Get up, she likes Manman from the bottom of her heart.

"Manman, did Jiakai bully you again?!" Xue Yuelan smiled lovingly.

"That's right, Aunt Lan, you have to make the decision for me!"

"Mom, I'm going to be late for work. Let's go first." When Zhang Jiakai saw his mother appear, he immediately walked away.

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

Xue Yuelan took it and put it in her pocket directly: "What are you counting, silly boy."

Manman smiled: "Aunt Lan, then I will go to work first."

"Hey, good. By the way, Manman, your Uncle Zhang brought back some partridges from the mountains, come over to drink soup at night."

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

"It is good for young people to struggle, but they must also pay attention to their bodies."

"I know, then I'll go first!" Tan Man smiled and hurried away. In fact, she and Zhang Jiakai both understood Xue Yuelan's desire to win them over. be friends.

Just returned to school, before sitting still for 3 minutes, my colleague Lemon rushed over in a hurry.

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

"Xiaoqing, do you still remember that pretty and tall little girl in the third grade, the one with some mental problems, didn't you practice in her class for two months when you first came here, forgot?!"

Tan Man tried her best to think back: "Oh, Xiaoqing, what's wrong?"

"She is going to drop out of school, and the parents are going to go through the formalities at the Political and Educational Office."

"Why? She seems to be supported by poverty, and she finally got a place in the school."

"I just found out about a shocking secret. He Li, who resigned and left last month, turned out to be a xxxx pervert. He raped her, but luckily he failed."

"Ah? That teacher He Li in the sixth grade?" Manman was shocked. She had seen a lot of news about xx on campus, but it was still extremely shocking when it actually happened to her.

"It is said that someone backed her up. She was detained for [-] days and then released. Xiaoqing's parents are ordinary migrant workers, so they have no ability to seek justice, so they protested by dropping out of school."

"Hey, people's words are scary, don't talk nonsense."

"I heard it from Xiaoqing's head teacher, do you think it's nonsense?!" Lemon looked angrily, "I just said, that Teacher He was awarded an excellent teacher last semester, why did he resign suddenly? It's really a beast. Even mentally handicapped children are not spared.”

Tan Man bit her lip. She remembered that when she first came to school, that He Li took the initiative to ask her out twice, in the name of helping new employees integrate into the school. He is a man with ulterior motives.

"Is there any compensation or something? Otherwise, it would be too pitiful."

"Who knows, the school is really good at hiding it. Even our school teachers didn't hear about it."

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

……

That night, Tan Man arrived at Gu Mochen's house on time. Aunt Chen who had just returned from a month's leave opened the door and greeted her politely.

Today, when Xiaobei saw her, he called her "Manman", which surprised her.

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

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

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

"No, I guess I'll be working overtime. I won't be here this month, but he's too busy. He has to work and take care of Xiaobei. Fortunately, Miss Tan, you're here." Aunt Chen came out after washing the dishes in the kitchen.

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

"Okay, okay, I gave birth to a big fat boy, and I'm already confinement, so I'm going to come back soon." When mentioning her grandson, Aunt Chen smiled from ear to ear, feeling happy in her heart.

"Congratulations, then go back quickly, I am here."

"Okay, then I'll go first."
