The woman opposite the door

The child's face is like the sky in July and August, it changes as soon as it is said, emotions come and go quickly.

Yi Qingxuan rushed into the kitchen to prepare dinner as usual, while Su Meng and Yi Ran sat on the sofa, each eating the ice cream she had just brought from a box.

The little girl's eyes were still red and a little swollen, but her mood was obviously much happier. She put a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, turned her head and smiled sweetly at Su Meng: "Thank you sister for giving me my birthday present!"

Su Meng returned an equally sweet smile: "You're welcome, as long as you like it!"

Yi Qingxuan poked her head out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand. She was also very happy to see her baby girl smiling again. Then she looked at the scene where one big and one small were sitting side by side on the sofa. It was indescribably pleasing to the eye.

"Both of you eat less, or you won't be able to eat for a while."

Look at the two of them sitting and eating snacks like angels. They are beautiful and have sweet smiles. They look like they can melt people's hearts.Look at yourself again, wearing an apron and holding a frying spoon, talking in a babble, like an old woman.

Yi Qingxuan laughed at herself, but the smile on her face became more and more uncontrollable. After skillfully adding various seasonings, the last dish was finally done.

The three enjoyed their meal happily, and Yi Qingxuan was about to wash the dishes after clearing the table when the phone on the table rang suddenly, and she took it out to see that it was Zhihuan.

"Here, Little Routuan, it's your mommy."

Yi Qingxuan stuffed the phone into Yi Ran's hand, the little girl resisted a little, she pursed her lips and took a step back.But then he seemed to think of something, and he picked it up reluctantly: "Mummy..."

Yi Qingxuan rubbed her broken hair on her forehead and smiled helplessly. When she turned around, she saw Su Meng standing by the sink washing dishes.

"Hey Su Meng, I don't need you, I'll just come."

Yi Qingxuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "You are a guest, how can you work?"

"What's the matter with the guest? I don't even have to pay for your big meal for no reason. I just wash the dishes, isn't it cheap?" Su Meng turned around and blinked and smiled. When he came back to his senses, he took the dishes she had washed and dried them and put them away.

"Don't say that. Without you today, I don't know how Xiaoroutuan's birthday will be. I don't know how happy you can make her happy. It's not bad if I don't pay you. Besides, you Didn't you bring her a gift?"

Su Meng smiled: "This can't be regarded as a gift. I bought it to give me ice cream before I bought it to give back to her. You didn't say that today is her birthday, otherwise I will find time to buy something when I get off work."

"Ah, no need, it's great if you can come, I really don't need to bring a gift. I didn't invite you to ask for a gift..."

Su Meng found it very interesting to see Yi Qingxuan eagerly waving his hands to explain. This person is honest at first glance, not a hypocritical and tactful person.

"Mommy means what she says, you can't lie to me this time..."

In the living room, Yi Ran's childish voice came over, and Su Meng asked casually, "Little Routuan seems to like her mother very much... Oh, I mean Miss Zhihuan..."

"Yeah." Yi Qingxuan nodded, with a look of helplessness that Su Meng couldn't understand.

"When she was born, I was busy with work, and it was Zhihuan who took care of her. Although I faced more people every day after I quit my job, she still kept arguing for Mommy all day long."

Yi Qingxuan paused at this point, and then pulled the corners of her mouth into a smile: "Maybe as people say, children are most likely to fall in love with the person they see at first sight, just like newborn chickens always like to recognize people at first sight." It’s a reason why the right person is the mother.”

Mom... Mommy...Su Meng vaguely seemed to have guessed something, and had an impulse to ask: "Miss Zhihuan is..."

But the words had already reached their lips, but they suddenly changed to: "Are you busy with work?"

If it is really not a normal family in everyone's eyes, and it is related to other people's privacy, it is better not to deliberately inquire out of politeness?Su Meng has never been a gossip person, but he doesn't know why Yi Qingxuan and Yi Ran are involved, so he always has more curiosity.

"Well, very busy. Especially later..." Yi Qingxuan hesitated to speak, thought for a while and finally smiled bitterly: "She doesn't live with us now, and Xiao Routuan will have even less time to see her. Because I miss it, I cherish the rare time we can spend together, right? And this child has a sensitive mind, and I don't know if he has noticed something."

Su Meng could hear that there was something in her words, but she couldn't figure out what it meant.Just as the last bowl at hand had been washed, Xiao Yiran also ran over after making a phone call.

She hopped up and down as she walked, like a little rabbit seeing delicious grass, before she arrived, her voice reached the ears of the two people in the kitchen.

"Mom, Mommy, Mommy said that in order to make up for me, she will come to make up my birthday in a few days, and then I can see her again. Are you happy?"

"Happy." Yi Qingxuan pampered her face and pinched her tender cheeks caressingly.

"She also said that she would buy me another gift...Mom, what do you want, I'll let Mommy buy it for you, okay?"

Su Meng felt strange, why did Zhi Huan ask Yi Qingxuan if he was happy when he came to Xiao Yiran, and even borrowed Zhi Huan's hand to buy a gift for Yi Qingxuan?

But after another thought, maybe Yi Ran wanted to give Yi Qingxuan a gift to make her happy, but he had no money, so he could only achieve this wish through Zhi Huan's hands.She was originally a well-behaved and sensible girl, so it seemed not surprising that she acted so thoughtfully.

The kitchen was tidied up and the food was almost gone, the three of them moved to the living room and started cutting the cake.

Yi Qingxuan opened the package and carefully inserted five candles, lit them and turned to look at Yi Ran with a smile: "Birthday children, let's make a wish!"

Xiao Yiran nodded, sat on the sofa neatly with her knees together, closed her eyes and clapped her hands together for a while, then opened her eyes in satisfaction and said: "Well, I promised, Mom, can I blow out the candles?"

"What wish did you make, can you tell your sister?"

Seeing how serious she was at such a young age, Su Meng found it amusing and couldn't help teasing her.

The little girl tilted her neck to think, and said after a while: "Mom said that it won't work for outsiders to hear her wishes, but my sister is someone I like, so she is not an outsider, can I say that right?"

Um?There is such a saying?Su Meng was in a daze and didn't know how to answer, but Xiao Yiran's crisp voice came over first: "I hope Mommy can come back to live with us again, so that Mommy and I will be very happy!"

Yi Qingxuan's face darkened. Although she quickly adjusted her emotions, she still couldn't escape Su Meng's eyes.

"Sister, do you think my wish will come true?"

Su Meng turned her head to look at Yi Ran's expectant eyes. Although she knew it was wrong to deceive a child, she really couldn't bear to say something that would make her feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, Xiaoroutuan's wish will definitely come true."

After celebrating a birthday together, the relationship between Su Meng and the mother and daughter opposite seemed to be getting closer invisibly.Yi Qingxuan knew that Su Meng was always fooling around by herself, so she made various excuses to invite her to eat at home from time to time.In order to "repay" her kindness, Su Meng, apart from buying some of Xiaoroutuan's favorite snacks every time he came to the door, did not forget to accompany Yi Qingxuan to wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen after meals.

Two women with a child, before contacting her, like most ordinary people, she vaguely felt that such a "deformed" combination was really bad.The two women need to put in more hard work, not to mention that children who grow up in this kind of family may have somewhat flawed personalities, and even because they have to bear many incomprehensible harsh words and white eyes from others since they were young, they will also Therefore, there may be psychological barriers.

But soon, Su Meng changed his understanding of this.

She had just got off work that day, and was driving as usual to go to the supermarket near the company to buy some snacks that Xiaoroutuan likes to eat, when Yi Qingxuan suddenly called.

"Su Meng, I'm sorry to bother you, can you help me pick up the little meat ball from the kindergarten. There are customers in the store suddenly, and the colleagues who changed shifts haven't arrived, so I can't leave for a while..."

Su Meng was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized: "Okay. Please send me the address of the kindergarten, and I'll go right away."

Because of the unfamiliar road conditions, the kindergarten had already been out of school for a while when Su Meng arrived, she hurriedly got out of the car and walked to the school, following the information sent by Yi Qingxuan, she went to find Yi Ran's class.

The sign outside the classroom was obvious, and it didn't take long for Su Meng to find it. When he pushed open the concealed door and entered, he saw Yi Ran sitting alone on a stool with a schoolbag in her hand. Not worried, seeing Su Meng startled for a moment, then waved his hands and shouted cheerfully: "Beautiful sister! Are you here to pick me up from school today?"

"Yes, sister came to pick up the little meat ball from school today, are you happy?"

"Happy!"

Su Meng smiled, picked up her schoolbag in one hand, and took her fleshy white hand in the other, turned around and walked out, but she didn't want to be hit by someone who just entered the door.

"Teacher!" It was Xiao Routuan who "reminded" first, and Su Meng knew who the person in front of him was.

"Hi, I'm here to pick up Yi Ran from school..."

Before Su Meng finished speaking, he was interrupted by a young girl in casual clothes with a ponytail in front of her: "Well, I know, you are Miss Su, Yi Ran's mother called me just now. "

With curiosity on her face, she looked at Su Meng carefully, then bent down and stuffed the small kettle in her hand into Xiao Routuan's hand, and asked in a surprising voice: "Yi Ran, your mother is too discerning." Oh, why are your moms as beautiful as each other!"
