Life is more than just living

Chen Xu felt sad for his parents, but he didn't dare to say too much. My parents were dissatisfied with Liu Jingsheng and Lin Zihan. If I acted too caring and sensible, I would be suspected of being a good boy. Fortunately, with Xiaohua around, the old couple's attention was distracted and they didn't feel too uncomfortable.

Xiaohua can now speak some simple words, but the pronunciation is not accurate. She would call her grandma "bite", but Han Hui was also very happy to hear it. Chen Xu sometimes feels very worried, why is this child so stupid with his mouth! But Han Hui doesn't think so. She said that many children go through this process, and they may not know when their pronunciation will be accurate.

The mutual aid child-rearing class has finally opened. The class has hired two kindergarten teachers, one in his 40s who has worked in kindergarten for many years, and the other who has just graduated. They also hired an aunt who used to cook in the kindergarten. The toys inside were all sent in advance. Originally, Gao Shan wanted to buy a batch of new ones, but Zhang Jiaqi said that the children just wanted to be novel, and Niuniu no longer liked playing with the toys at home. Instead of leaving them at home or throwing them away, it is better to collect toys that children are tired of playing with. Children can tell each other what they have, and it will be interesting for children to compete with each other to play with them.

Cheng Qi and Chen Xu donated the most toys. Cheng Qi said that her father-in-law and mother-in-law brought toys every time they came, but it was of no use. It's the same here with Chen Xu. His parents, brother and sister-in-law, Meng Fanyi, Lin Zihao and Meng Xiangyu all keep buying toys for Xiaohua. This left Han Yidao and Chen Xu useless. There just happens to be this mutual aid class to put those toys to good use.

The children eat three meals a day together in the class. The meat and vegetables are provided by the farm managed by Wang Xue's father, and the fruit and milk are bought from the mall by Han Yidao and Guo Jian in turns. Tian Yuqin's housekeeping company is responsible for cleaning and disinfection.

The wages of hiring three people are shared equally among the four families. Wang Xue said it is more cost-effective than hiring a nanny. Gao Shan glared at her, "Why didn't you say that Brother Yuan provided 400 square meters of space for free!" Wang Xue stuck out her tongue. Her mother was injured. Thanks to this mutual aid class, otherwise she wouldn't be able to go to work. . No one would accept such a young child if sent to a regular kindergarten.

Although Lin Zhiyuan's child has not yet been born, he has put a lot of effort into this mutual aid class. After watching it several times, he said that the only shortcoming is that the children have no outdoor activities. He and Chenggong have been discussing whether to zone the class within the community. It’s a matter of building an area on the roof. It’s winter now and the children are still young, so there’s no rush.

On the first day of class, several babies had a lot of fun. Niu Niu is the oldest, already two years old, and Xiao Guangcheng will soon be two years old. Xiaohua is fourteen months old, and Xiangxiang will be one year old in a few days. Niuniu has a soft temper and likes to take care of her younger siblings. With the guidance of her kindergarten teacher, Niuniu took on the responsibility of being an older sister and the children had a great time. Despite Song Huiying's repeated insistence, her mother still strongly opposed sending her child here. Song Huiying came to see it several times and was very satisfied, but she couldn't resist her mother.

The establishment of the mutual aid child-rearing class has freed up several grandmothers and grandmothers to take care of children. Everyone can freely choose to accompany their children or not to go. In the past, parents basically just stood by and watched their children play, because there children I was so engrossed in playing games that I didn’t even bother looking for adults. Only during nap time at noon, Xiangxiang felt a little depressed. Niu Niu wisely took on the task of coaxing her sister to sleep. Xiangxiang fell asleep holding the little baby she brought from her own home. The older kindergarten teacher was beside her. care. Several mothers were very happy to see this scene on the surveillance camera.

Zhao Yuhan often goes to the unit there to watch the children play. The atmosphere is completely different from other kindergartens in Longcheng, and the children are willing to come here to play. Zhao Yuhan touched her belly and was fascinated by the scene of her baby playing here.

Every morning as soon as Xiaohua opens his eyes, he calls for "Dede (brother)" and he follows Guoguo every day and plays happily.

On this day, Saturday, Chen Xu went to the children's class to watch the children play. Xiaohua did not come over to cling to her mother, but played games with her brothers, sisters and sisters under the guidance of the kindergarten teacher. Chen Xu looked at the four children with a smile. What happy children! At this time, Liu Jingsheng walked in quietly. Chen Xu glanced at him and asked, "Why are you back so early today?" Liu Jingsheng said that there was a power outage in the study room area in Beicheng today for maintenance. In winter, the sky is short and dark early, so he went ahead in advance. I'm back. I have nothing to do. Come and see Xiaohua.

The two sat together in silence for a long time. Chen Xu finally couldn't help but ask: "Don't you also like children? Why don't you want them? Is it because Zihan doesn't want to have children?" Liu Jingsheng sighed. , "I'm afraid that the child I give birth to will be like me. There is a certain chance that my disease will be inherited. I feel that Zihan and I don't have the patience as a mother to take care of a sick child. It's better not to have a child than to do that. What's more, Zihan I can't force her to have a child even if she doesn't want one. What is a couple? They are traveling companions who go through a period of life together. The most important thing is to be comfortable together. As for how long we can stay together, it depends on fate! , having a child is not good for the child.”

Chen Xu turned to look at Liu Jingsheng fiercely, and Liu Jingsheng smiled, "Why is there such a big reaction? Everyone wants to live forever, but life is also very long, decades, tens of thousands of days. If we are strangers or even hate each other, there is no need. We have to be tied together." Chen Xu still couldn't help but ask: "Brother, if things hadn't happened to Zihan's family, would you have gotten together so quickly?" Liu Jingsheng smiled bitterly, "Those who say so will always be full of emotions. I don’t want to regret what I have done, and there is no reason to torture myself.”

The two people were whispering, because there were surveillance cameras all over the place, and parents of the children might turn on the surveillance cameras to take a look at any time. Chen Xu stood up and said to Liu Jingsheng, come to my house for a cup of tea!

Arriving at Chen Xu's house, Liu Jingsheng leaned comfortably on the sofa, waiting for Chen Xu to bring tea. Chen Xu came over with tea, and Liu Jingsheng asked: Where is mom? Chen Xu smiled, "Mom went to practice yoga. In the past two years, my mother has been busy taking care of me and Xiaohua, and has neglected to manage her figure. Now Xiaohua doesn't have to stick to her grandma all day, and she can just let her do what she likes. Things." Liu Jingsheng nodded and said nothing.

Chen Xu looked at Liu Jingsheng a little worriedly, "Brother, you and Zihan..." Liu Jingsheng smiled, "We are very good, we are busy with our own things. I came back from Beicheng very late, we were both very tired, and then basically We said good night to each other and went to bed. We couldn't say more than a few words all day, and the few words we had were all related to work, but that's okay, I just don't like to talk very much. "

Chen Xu didn't expect their married life to be so bad. Why did they get married if this was the case? Is it just to give an explanation to this relationship?
