you are so tender

Zhou Lijuan and Xu Man walked and chatted, stopping from time to time to take care of Jiaojiao, or taking out the pre-prepared mineral water from the backpack for the child to drink a few sips, or taking out a fluffy towel and sticking it into Jiaojiao's sweaty back , wipe her body to keep dry.Seeing all this, Xu Man was speechlessly moved.Every time Jiaojiao turned her head and ran to Zhou Lijuan's side, she always called "Mom" one by one.Xu Man feels very strange, there is an element of jealousy in the mixed tastes, but it is not jealousy of the acting mother Zhou Lijuan, but jealousy of her daughter Jiaojiao, who has such a good mother.And once she thought of the blood connection between herself and Jiaojiao, she instantly transformed this jealousy into a wish similar to the addition of a yellow robe.The two followed Jiaojiao for most of the inner circle, and Jiaojiao said out of breath that she was too tired to walk anymore.Zhou Lijuan said to her: "Jiaojiao, look at my mother carrying so many things, I can't hug you, and I can't carry you on my back. Let Aunt Xu Man carry you for a while, okay?"

Jiaojiao looked at Xu Man, then nodded.Xu Man quickly squatted down and asked her to climb her back. "Jiaojiao, you're going to elementary school after the summer vacation. You're so big, you can't let Aunt Xu Man carry it all the time, see? When you get to the tree in front, you can get down and walk by yourself, okay? "Zhou Lijuan exhorted.

Xu Man was so close to her daughter for the first time after her divorce.She knew that Zhou Lijuan had specially created this opportunity for her, and she looked up at the tree, wishing she would never walk there in her life.Although through the clothes, Xu Man felt the skin-to-skin relationship between mother and daughter, she deliberately tightened her chin, so that her tough chin touched Jiaojiao's smooth little hands and round arms.Xu Man was so excited that she wanted to cry, but she knew she couldn't cry, so she held back her tears, without any expression on her face.

Jiaojiao is really well-behaved. When she arrived at the place designated by her mother, she voluntarily asked to put herself down.But she didn't want to run anymore, so she handed one of her little hands to Xu Man, and at the same time gave the other hand to her mother, and asked the two mothers to lead her along.Zhou Lijuan lowered her head and said to Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, let Aunt Xu Man invite us to dinner at noon today, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay." Jiaojiao replied happily.

"Ajuan, let's go out of the park in a while, let's go back to the Hilton in Lihe Plaza for lunch." Xu Man was very happy.

"Xu Man, you don't need to spend so much money." Zhou Lijuan did not agree with the location of the meal, which was not polite.

"It's okay, it's rare for us to have a meal together." Xu Man insisted.

"Let Jiaojiao decide." Zhou Lijuan immediately asked, "Jiaojiao, where do you want to eat?"

"I'm going to Pizza Hut!" Jiaojiao immediately shouted.

"Well, there is also a Pizza Hut in Lihe Plaza, so let's go there." Xu Man said.

Walk out of the park gate and come to the parking lot.Zhou Lijuan gave Xu Man another unexpected chance. "Jiaojiao, can you go with Aunt Xu Man when you go back? You see, Auntie drives a new car, which is more beautiful than mother's car. Go and have a look, okay?" Jiaojiao readily agreed, and Xu Man Excited again.

"It may not be easy to park in Lihe, Xu Man, let's park the car at the Second Government Office, our city bureau works there." Zhou Lijuan said to Xu Man.

"You don't need to park there, Ajuan. You may not be familiar with Lihe. There is a six-story parking lot next to the BIT supermarket, and it is very empty. Just follow my car." Xu Man said.

Pizza Hut needs to wait for a seat.The impatient Jiaojiao took the queue number and sat down on the sofa in the waiting area of ​​the restaurant alone, waiting for the waiter to arrange a table. Zhou Lijuan and Xu Man stood outside the door and continued talking.

"Ajuan, I've seen that you are kind to Jiaojiao. But frankly speaking, I didn't expect you to be so kind to me."

"Xu Man, it seems that there is a certain relationship between you and me because of Yang Guangzhi. At first I thought so too, but it's not. As far as Yang Guangzhi is concerned, he is the force that separates us. To put it bluntly , that is, there is you without me, and there is me without you. Right? The person who really prevents you and me from watching the fire from the other side is Jiaojiao. She is your daughter, and also my daughter. Since we have a common daughter, you and I I am doomed to an inseparable fate. Am I right?"

"Ajuan, you are too kind."

"Thank you for complimenting me like this. But I don't think I should receive special praise for it. Isn't it what a mother should be? Besides, people always attribute their frustrations in life to their being too weak and kind, and too weak is also Because I am too kind, in short, I am good, and the fault is the fault of others. I have been frustrated, and life is unsatisfactory eight out of ten, who can be exempted? But I always feel that kindness cannot be the cause of fault. Neither The malice used to blame others cannot be used as an excuse to forgive yourself. Xu Man, you don’t understand me, I’m just too weak. Weakness is weakness, and weakness is not kindness.” Unexpectedly, Zhou Lijuan made such an excuse, especially when she said that she was too weak, Let Xu Man immediately realize that there is something in the words, and it is inconvenient to explore.Fortunately, Jiaojiao greeted them to come in through the door and window, obviously they had arranged seats.

After dinner, Jiaojiao and her mother went home happily.Xu Man drove home at a high speed. She felt so happy that she had to find someone to share it with.The house was quiet, Tian Xiaohui was taking a nap.Xu Man had no choice but to pretend to step into a serious courtroom, so as not to make a mess all the way.She opened the bedroom lightly, and found Tian Xiaohui's two big eyes were looking at her flickeringly.Xu Man then threw the handbag on the floor, because he forgot to put it in the entrance where it was usually placed.Without taking off her clothes, she threw herself on the bed, pouted and crawled forward, about to kiss Tian Xiaohui.

"Are you crazy?" Tian Xiaohui stood up, and while helping Xu Man take off her clothes, she complained, "How can you be like this? You come back in a hurry, and you don't take off your coat, and you don't wash your face. Throw away the clothes." On the ground, wash your face and come back." Xu Man stuck out her tongue, and obediently obeyed.After coming out of the bathroom, he asked, "Xiaohui, what's for lunch?"

"I know you won't come back at noon, so I'll cook a bowl of noodles myself." Tian Xiaohui replied, and then urged Xu Man: "Come up quickly and report to work."

Xu Man got into bed, but refused to report to work.She didn't refuse, she didn't intend to report verbally, but expressed her uncontrollable joy in another way that surprised Tian Xiaohui.Xu Man is like a little pig, huddling around in Tian Xiaohui's arms, deliberately playing sloppy eyes for a while, thinking that in this way the world can ignore her true intentions.She started to unbutton Tian Xiaohui's skirt, put her head under Tian Xiaohui's armpit, and sucked against Tian Xiaohui's chest like a baby, and put one hand on the other to increase her sense of satisfaction.The whole gesture unmistakably shows that Xu Man is experiencing the happiness of a daughter nestled in the arms of her mother.The extremely intelligent Tian Xiaohui quickly understood everything, and stroked Xu Man's hair kindly like a mother. After a while, she deliberately pulled out the part that was held by Xu Man, and at the same time held the other one with her hand, To Xu Man who was anxiously looking for the source.

"Xiao Hui, your place is my favorite." Xu Man murmured as if she was full.And Tian Xiaohui knew that Xu Man had passed that strength at this time, so she decided to act out of the temporary role and change back to the lively Tian Xiaohui.

"You are so perverted! Xu Man, how old are you, are you ashamed?" Tian Xiaohui teased.

"Xiaohui, she is so beautiful. She is plump, fair, soft, tall and round." Xu Man said.

"What? You're almost crushing me." Tian Xiaohui said intentionally.

"According to what you say, I can't eat it?" Xu Man deliberately wept.

"Yes. But don't you eat today? I'm afraid you'll choke." Tian Xiaohui laughed loudly.

Xu Man then described the whole process of seeing Zhou Lijuan and Jiaojiao, and passed on all the happiness of one mother to the other. "Xu Man, I want to give you an arch like you did just now." Tian Xiaohui said with a pretentious gesture. "No. I want to sleep." After Xu Man finished speaking, the two women continued to take a nap until the sun was westward.

More than a month later, the No.1 Civil Court made the first-instance judgment, and the plaintiff won the case.Although the Labor Bureau, as a government agency, lost an administrative lawsuit, the original administrative decision did not involve procedural violations. Although the staff of the agency had negligence in details in the administrative investigation, it was irrelevant.The main reason is that the company did not provide key evidence in time, which led to the Labor Bureau making an inappropriate identification of work-related injuries. Therefore, the correction of the error will not hurt the innocent, and no public official needs to be held responsible for this.This kind of administrative lawsuit, which seems to lose face but actually shows the government's compassion for the people, is the most likely to be noticed by the keen media and to promote it vigorously, because the results are all happy, and Xu Man unexpectedly made a moderate contribution to the newly established Mingzheng limelight.With the help of the limelight, the branch quickly achieved rapid development in the company's perennial legal business.

One day in May, Zhou Lijuan suddenly called Xu Man urgently: "Xu Man, can you come to my house immediately? My mother-in-law just called and said that my son Zong Bao scratched his eye with a toy, and the blood was flowing. Guangzhi I’m on a business trip, and I’m afraid it’s too late to come back in the development zone.”

"I'll go right away, don't be too anxious. Ajuan, quickly call your mother-in-law and ask her to find a piece of gauze to stop the child's bleeding, then take him down and wait for me downstairs. I will notify Tian Xiaohui immediately, Let the hospital get ready." Then Xu Man called Tian Xiaohui, and Tian Xiaohui told her: "Xu Man, don't go, the traffic lights on the road will delay your time. I know the place, I will call 120 and go with the car. How about you , call Zhou Lijuan again and tell her the arrangement, lest she drive in a hurry, and if there is a traffic accident, misfortunes will never come singly."

When Xu Man rushed to the hospital from the law firm, the 120 ambulance took the injured to the hospital and sent him to the operating room.Xu Man then called Zhou Lijuan to report the situation, telling her that Tian Xiaohui performed the operation on Zong Bao herself, and the accident was not as serious as imagined.Chen Caixia stood outside the operating room, trembling with fright.Xu Man felt sorry for the old lady, so she went over to comfort her.Chen Caixia has never been close to any daughter-in-law in her life. This time she fell on Xu Man's shoulder and burst into tears, crying uncontrollably: "Xu Man, I'm sorry for you. This time you saved my grandson, even if I kneel down for you. "

"Don't say that, Aunt Chen. Zong Bao is Ajuan's son and Jiaojiao's younger brother. I also have a blood relationship with this child. It is reasonable for Ajuan to think of me at this time." Xu Man said.

When Zhou Lijuan arrived at the hospital, Zong Bao's wound had already been treated.Tian Xiaohui walked out of the operating room and said to everyone: "Don't worry, the child is fine. It is very lucky that the cornea was not injured. Although the wound is deep, it is relatively regular. I have treated it carefully, and there should be no scars left. I don’t think you need to be hospitalized, just be careful not to let the child scratch the wound when you get home.”

Seeing that Zhou Lijuan was still out of breath, Xu Man said to her: "Ajuan, don't drive. In such an accident, which mother would not be nervous? Calm down first. My car Stop at the hospital, and I will take your family of three back in your car."

Xu Man drove back to the door of the house in the past.She didn't have time to think about it, but found that the familiar house had become strange.She declined the ex-mother-in-law's kindness and invitation to sit in the house for a while.Zhou Lijuan did not insist, and Xu Man silently thanked her for her understanding.Walking out of the property complex, Xu Man hailed a taxi and returned to the hospital to pick up the car.This sudden incident undoubtedly brought the relationship between her and Zhou Lijuan closer again, but Xu Man believed even more in what Zhou Lijuan said to her, and deeply realized from Zhou Lijuan's words that the relationship between people Being in love with each other is by no means the result of trade-offs. Mere coincidences and the arrangement of events cannot induce things that do not exist in the first place.Xu Man's eyes flashed out of the operating room again, the scene of Chen Caixia clinging to her shoulders, for some reason, she even shivered.
