"Thank you, Teacher Xiao," the child had already arrived, and some words were not appropriate to say anymore. Xiao Le changed the subject appropriately, but Ding Lan thanked her anyway, and took Yang Lixin home.

On the way, Ding Lan kept thinking about Xiao Le's words, so she asked Yang Lixin, "Lixin, what interesting things happened at school today?"

Sitting in the back, Yang Lixin, who obediently hugged his mother's waist with both hands, shook his head and said nothing.

Ding Lan in the front looked at the rearview mirror and found that Yang Lixin had no expression, and immediately became anxious, "Mom wants to hear about Lixin School, can Lixin talk to mom?"

Yang Lixin who was asked this again finally said, "No."

His voice was quiet, and his expression didn't change much.

It was almost at the corner of the community, but Ding Lan did not go back immediately, but took Yang Lixin to the vegetable market, parked the car first, and then led Yang Lixin in by the hand.

I don't want to meet Xiao Le here again. Xiao Le has obviously already bought the food. Standing beside him is someone familiar to Ding Lan. If you think about it carefully, isn't it the person who bought things in the supermarket in the morning and asked him about the decoration company by the way?

"Mom, teacher."

Yang Lixin pointed to Xiao Le who was bending over to select fish not far away, while Mo Cheng was carrying other vegetables beside him, responding to Xiao Le's words from time to time.

"The teacher is busy, let's go here to buy tomatoes and go back to make tomato scrambled eggs, shall we?"

Ding Lan was pretending to be troubled, and Xiao Le was with her friends, so she didn't want to bring the child forward to disturb him.

Even if you are a teacher, you still have your own time.

Ding Lan is not a person who likes to pay too much attention to others.

"it is good."

Yang Lixin's favorite food is tomato scrambled eggs.

After buying three tomatoes, a handful of cabbage, and a knife of meat, it cost less than thirty dollars. When Ding Lan and Yang Lixin opened the door of their house, they saw an old man sitting on the sofa.

"dad."

"grandfather."

Yang Lixin's eyes lit up, and he ran over to hug Grandpa Yang.

"Hey," Grandpa Yang kissed Yang Lixin on the cheek, then glanced at Ding Lan who was wearing a mask, "Your mother is cooking in the kitchen, and Yang Jun went out to drink and didn't come back."

Ding Lan hummed, changed her shoes, and went into the kitchen with vegetables. Grandma Yang was eating chicken soup. When she saw her coming in, she also stared at her mask.

"Fight again?"

Ding Lan put down the dishes and took off the mask by the way, "Yes."

Grandma Yang frowned slightly, very dissatisfied with her son's behavior, "What's the reason again this time?"

"I bought a reference book for Lixin. He said it was a waste of money. If you have that money, you might as well spend it drinking with friends to build relationships. I replied a few words. After he drank, he started doing it."

Ding Lan didn't have much affection for her in-laws. Ever since Yang Jun made a move, although her in-laws were dissatisfied with Yang Jun's actions, they just scolded him in front of her, and didn't say a word in front of Yang Jun.

Thinking of what Teacher Xiao said to herself, Ding Lan pursed her lips, and said to Grandma Yang who was accusing Yang Jun, "Mom, I would like to ask you to take care of Lixin for a while, he... His class teacher told me that this child The mood is not very right, it may be the last time I saw Yang Jun make a move..."

It's about her grandson's mental health, Grandma Yang cheered up immediately, "You're right, let the child go home with us tonight, your father and I have nothing to do after retirement, so don't worry about taking care of the child! "

In the past, Grandma Yang and Ding Lan had disagreements because of the different ways of raising their children, so Yang Lixin stayed with Ding Lan all the time, but now the situation is different, and Ding Lan naturally hopes that Yang Lixin can have a good living environment.

"I will go to see him every night, and I will also pay for living expenses."

"What are you talking about?" Grandma Yang stared, "He is my grandson, how can I lack him for food and drink?"

"No, it's hard work for you to take care of your children. I should give you some money."

Ding Lan said.

"Don't say that, you are under a lot of pressure now, Yang Jun is not up to date, and I don't know what to do in the past two years, making the house a mess..."

Grandma Yang said a lot about Yang Jun, but Ding Lan, who had experienced many times, stopped saying a word and went about her work silently.

During the meal, Yang Lixin kept talking, with smiles in his eyes.

Ding Lan looked very sad.

Grandpa Yang didn't know that the child would live with them, so he inadvertently mentioned whether Yang Jun had found a job. As soon as he heard Yang Jun's name, the smile on Yang Lixin's face disappeared, and he pointed at Ding Lan without crying. Face.

Aggrieved to grandparents, "Dad keeps beating mom."

Grandpa Yang suddenly became embarrassed, and Grandma Yang quickly touched the child's head, "It's wrong for Dad to do this, Lixin can't learn from it!"

"I don't want to hit my mother! I want to protect my mother!"

Yang Lixin wiped away his tears, clenched his fists and said.

"Good boy, good boy," Grandma Yang praised with a smile. Grandpa Yang stopped talking after mentioning Yang Jun just now, which made the atmosphere a little awkward.

After packing up the dishes, Ding Lan packed Yang Lixin's clothes, etc., and filled Yang Lixin's clothes with her suitcase, which she hadn't used for a long time.

"Then let's go, Lixin, and say goodbye to Mom."

Grandma Yang held Yang Lixin's shoulder and said to him.

"Mom, come pick me up early."

What Ding Lan told Yang Lixin was that he would pick him up in a few days, because he was busy with work and couldn't take good care of him.

"Okay, Lixin has to listen to his grandparents, you know?"

Ding Lan endured the discomfort, knelt down and touched the child's face, "You should also be lively at school and make friends bravely. If some children talk too loudly or hit something mischievously, don't be afraid, you know? ?”

These words made Grandma Yang and Grandpa Yang's faces solemn.

After Yang Lixin fell asleep at night, Grandma Yang cautiously came to the living room, and said to Grandpa Yang who was still watching TV, "Yang Jun is getting worse and worse. If this continues, this small family may not be able to survive."

"Ding Lan's current job was given by our third uncle. If she wants to divorce, third uncle will not let her continue to work there. She has no job, and we bought the house. Her natal family is outside the province, so she can rely on Who? Divorce is impossible."

"Don't push people into a hurry," Grandma Yang said coldly, "It's not wrong that she is a woman, but she is also a mother! You men only think about how to push a woman to a desperate situation, but you never thought that a mother would Do something for the child."

"What if she finds a rich local to marry?"

Grandpa Yang stopped talking and turned to call Yang Jun, but as soon as Yang Jun answered, Grandpa Yang hung up.

"what happened?"

"Drunk, talking incoherently, too lazy to talk."

Ding Lan couldn't fall asleep here, she slept in the child's room and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Until about two o'clock in the evening, the door was slapped.

Ding Lan endured her irritability and went to open the door. It was Yang Jun's brother who sent him back.

"Sister-in-law, let's go then."

"Hey, thank you."

Ding Lan said politely.

Looking at the drunk Yang Jun, Ding Lan felt uncomfortable just by looking at it.

The other party was sleeping on the sofa and snoring, Ding Lan didn't bother, went back to the room and locked the door and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, when the other party yelled for water, Ding Lan pretended that she didn't hear it, as if the child was not at home, and she didn't follow the other party so much.

When going out in the morning, Ding Lan looked at herself in the mirror, and after she couldn't see any traces, she didn't wear a mask when she went out.

Unexpectedly, Ding Lan met Xiao Le in the elevator, and both of them were a little surprised.

"What a coincidence, Mama Ding lives on the fifth floor?"

Ding Lan has always been called Mama Yang by the teacher, but this is the first time she has heard Mama Ding called her. She nodded, "I didn't expect Teacher Xiao to live here too. I really didn't notice it in the past."

"We just moved here," Xiao Le smiled, "Why didn't you see Lixin?"

"I went to live at his grandparents' house last night," Ding Lan recalled what Xiao Le said yesterday, and couldn't help but said, "I want to change the environment, maybe he will be different."

Xiao Le thoughtfully, glanced at Ding Lan's temple, "If you have any difficulties, just say it."

Ding Lan turned her head away uncomfortably, "Thank you."

Some people in the community knew about her domestic violence. After all, sometimes she was beaten and screamed in the middle of the night, and the child's fearful voice was also very loud.

The neighborhood committee also came to adjust, but Yang Jun always went in one ear and out the other.

Ding Lan went to see her children in the evening, and after seeing Yang Lixin's lively appearance at her grandparents' house, she felt that her decision was right.

After being left for dinner, when Ding Lan was about to leave, Grandma Yang took out 5000 yuan and handed it over, "Here, I heard from Lixin that his father used up all the money, so what can you do if you don't have any money."

"No need, as long as Lixin is not influenced by his father, and with you, I can rest assured."

Ding Lan didn't ask for the money, she knew her parents-in-law's temperament, once the money was taken, it might be fine now, but if there was any friction in the future, she would point out and scold her.

Yang Jun ran out of money, and couldn't pay for drinking outside. Gradually, his friends refused and said they couldn't go because they had something to do.

They are all grown-up adults, who don't know who.

Yang Jun was very upset. When he was buying wine at the gate of the community, he was short of 19 yuan. He wanted to call Ding Lan and ask the other party to send him a red envelope or something.

Seeing this, a young man who didn't want to wait for the payment took the initiative to say, "Brother, don't you have any change? I just have twenty."

As he spoke, he took out 20 yuan in cash and handed it over.

This was beautifully said, and he didn't feel embarrassed, Yang Jun immediately thanked him.

"It's inevitable that something inconvenient will happen when you're away from home." After Mo Cheng gave the money, he entered the community with Yang Jun. The two talked and laughed until they entered the same building. I was taken aback.

"What a coincidence, brother!"

"Yes, I live on the twelfth floor, where's the elder brother?"

"I'm on the fifth floor!"

Yang Jun laughed loudly.

Mo Cheng glanced at the other party's bag which was full of wine, so he sighed, "It seems that they are all people with worries."

"Who said it wasn't?" Brother Yang also saw that what Mo Cheng bought was wine, and immediately felt that the two of them were in the same illness.

"My name is Mo Cheng."

"My name is Yang Jun."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, Mo Cheng pressed the floor, and said, "Brother Yang, go to my house and sit down, my brother is the only one in my house, let's have a drink."

"Okay!"

Yang Jun also felt that drinking alone was boring, so he readily agreed.
