Seeing that it was one o'clock, Tao Li got up and said, "Let's go, Seryozha will let them stay at home. The children are weak, and it will be bad if they get infected. Although it is not a serious illness, it is sick after all. "

"En." Anna nodded in response, and she also stood up, "Then I'll go talk to Seryozha first."

Seryozha was reading a book with Tanya. He and Grisha just finished playing soldier games for a while, but in fact he was not interested in soldier games anymore, but he still felt that as an older brother, he should be more accommodating to his younger cousin's invitation.

"Seryozha, is Petersburg fun?" Tanya asked as she turned the pages of the book, resting her slender fingers on the fine-textured paper.

The boy raised his head and showed a charming smile, "I think our garden at home is more fun."

"Oh, what's there?" Tanya licked her hair and asked curiously.

"It was snowing heavily some time ago, and my mother took me to the garden for a snowball fight that afternoon. It felt great! The sky was bright and clean, and the snow on the ground was like thick quilts, crunching on it" ' sounded, and we made snowballs into little snowballs, and hit each other hard."

"Isn't that painful?" Tanya frowned, and looked down at her skirt, which might be stained.

"I don't think it hurts very much, because it's so happy, Tanya. When people are too happy, they can't feel any other emotions." It's a happy expression.

"Don't you know the painful feeling when you get an injection?" Grisha interjected. He was sick a while ago, and the thick syringe still feels like a prickly pain in his buttocks.

"I think so," replied Seryozha after a moment of thought.

"Baby, what are you playing?" A sweet female voice sounded, Seryosha turned his head and quickly stood up and rushed to his mother, hugging her waist and smiling, "Are you finished chatting?"

"Yes, baby, but Mommy and Aunt Dolly are going to see your Aunt Kitty now, will you play with Tanya and the others?"

"Can't I go?" the boy asked.

"I think in a few days, when your Aunt Kitty is better, I will take you to visit her."

"Okay then." Seryozha nodded obediently, "Say hello to Aunt Kitty for me, mother."

"Ok."

Dolly came over, stroked the children's hair, told Tanya to take good care of Seryozha, and the children nodded in agreement with their pearly white teeth.

Putting on a cloak and sitting in the carriage, Anna slightly opened her eyes and looked at the scenery slowly passing by in the cold wind. The Moskva River was like a blue ribbon winding through the city, and the pointed golden dome of the church reflected the Moscow's unique light, with wantonness that Petersburg does not have, the streets are clean and spacious, with birch trees planted on both sides, like tall and straight sentries standing guard.

The wind blew the woman's black and beautiful hair. Tao Li saw the peaceful smile on the corner of Anna's mouth, and her eyes became gentle. Her life has always revolved around children and housework, but now, staying by the woman's side, the wind and the road Everything has changed, the wind is refreshing and free, the roads are clean and tidy, and even the air is pleasant.

"Anna, how I envy your life!"

"What?" Anna turned her head and raised her hand to brush a strand of hair blown by the wind behind her ear. She was too absorbed just now, and she didn't hear what Tao Li was saying.

Tao Li smiled slightly, and raised her hand to lightly touch the woman's fair and tender cheek, "You are beautiful and optimistic, always happy for your son, Xiaoniao seems to be more willing to stay with you, Anna, I really hope I can be you. "

Gently holding the woman's thin hand, Anna said gently: "No, Tao Li, you don't have to be me, just be yourself, look, how dexterous these hands are, they can ruin the children's clothes when they are mischievous. It's all mended to perfection, your food is so delicious and most importantly, you have no idea what a woman you are."

Dolly's pale eyes lit up at the words. It had been a long time since she had received such compliments from others, and when she was a young girl, everyone praised her like this, and Skiva always used that handsome Smiling at him with a rosy face again, he repeated more than once that he would be the best wife.

"Anna, my best friend, you saved me. When I felt that life was gloomy, you pushed away the clouds for me and told me that the stars and the sun are still in my world. You are so good, I am so happy Happy."

"Tao Li, I am ashamed of your high praise, because I am not that good, I make mistakes, I can't handle everything perfectly, and I can even be swayed by emotion and act irrationally " She paused, at this time she thought of Karenin and those stupid actions, but she couldn't make a better choice rationally under the circumstances at that time, and finally she smiled with guilt, "I even I can't really help you with anything." She likes the woman in front of her, a woman's most beautiful years are dedicated to her family, isn't that worthy of respect?

"You helped me a lot, Anna." Tao Li held the woman's hand with a soft smile on her lips.

It was not very far from the Oblonskys' house to Dolly's natal house, that is, the house of Prince Shtcherbatsky. Not long after, the coachman stopped the carriage. Anna became more flexible, and she gave Dolly a hand. The latter smiled and thanked.

Tao Li's natal family was a well-known nobleman in Moscow. The old Prince Shtcherbatsky was a tall, thin and tough man with a neat beard and his clothes were buttoned up, as if he was ready to go to a banquet at any time The same, while Princess Shtcherbatsky was more casual, but she was still well dressed and had a kind and reserved smile on her face.

"Mrs. Karenin, you are here at last!" The princess gave Anna a hug, she kissed Anna on the cheek, held her hand and said, "Kitty and Dolly have often talked about you, so you are here. The poor child is still lying on the bed, and the doctor says she can't blow the air." At last, the Duchess took out a plain handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"What is it like?" Anna asked after comforting the Duchess.

The Duchess choked up, "The child insisted on telling you, as her mother, I can't help it."

"Mrs. Karenin..." the old prince said, his voice was not loud but sounded very dignified. He was used to this kind of speech, but suddenly realized that he no longer held any government position, and the other party was even more Karenin's wife, who now lives in high office, so he shut up again somewhat resentfully.

The author has something to say: Sometimes we all want to be someone else, but every time we step forward and look back, we still feel that it is best to be ourselves `(*∩_∩*)′
