Xiaojing is the nickname that my wife and I gave our son. In a blink of an eye, he is 14 years old. Children of this age are in the rebellious period of youth and are most vulnerable to external factors. However, my wife and I are very busy with work, and we have no time to pay attention to our children’s learning and physical and mental health.
Until the beginning of the epidemic at the beginning of this year, no matter how busy we were at work, we had to stay at home honestly for a month, so my wife and I showed unprecedented enthusiasm for our children’s education.
No matter what the child thinks, anyway, my wife and I transfer the excess energy to the child without reservation. We think we have been the most competent parents for a month!
Little do they know that education is like a bow, and it needs to be relaxed. Our sudden enthusiasm will only make the children’s hearts more depressed and rebellious.
In March, I took my first phone call from a corporate client, and life started to get back on track. My child’s school teacher started online teaching, and my wife and I began to stay away from home for three days.
Busy work is like a gear, turning non-stop, but the next thing that needs to be solved is the problem of children’s food.
Originally, we also hired a part-time worker for the child, and the nanny came to cook for the child when the time came, but her hometown is out of the province. After returning home for the New Year, she was quarantined outside the province due to the epidemic.
But my wife didn’t agree with my idea, and we had an argument about it.
I can also understand my wife’s objection. Han Ying is our old neighbor, one year younger than his wife, and 35 years old this year. If you want to say that the two of us know Han Ying best.
Han Ying’s second husband was introduced by his wife. The man was quickly attracted by Han Ying’s sweet appearance, and they got married after half a year together. It’s a pity that the dutiful and diligent man, unexpectedly, Han Ying behaved disorderly outside. Once when she was working as a confinement wife, the hostess discovered evidence that she had an affair with the hostess, and made trouble at home. Han Ying’s second marriage fell through like this.
As the man filed for divorce, the wife, the intermediary introducer, was naturally very embarrassed, and we have since recognized Han Ying’s personality.
In the face of my wife’s objection, I was a little helpless.
“But the epidemic has not passed yet, and the community is closed. Where do you want me to find other babysitters? Han Ying is doing this herself, and she must be very professional in nutrition, and she lives opposite, so it is convenient to come to our house. Besides, she watched Xiaojing grow up, and you have often sent delicious food to Xiaojing since she was a child. You have also seen it. I think she loves Xiaojing from the bottom of her heart!”
My words seem to have played a certain role, but there is no way, after all, I can’t let my son eat instant noodles every day, so I can only do it temporarily.
However, Han Ying is really good to Xiaojing. I heard Xiaojing say that Han Ying treats Xiaojing every day.He made delicious food for him in different ways, and often helped him with his homework. My wife felt relieved after hearing this.
In the evening, the three of us treated Han Ying to a meal of dumplings to express our gratitude to her for tutoring the children in their studies. After that, Han Ying occasionally took on the task of supervising Xiaojing’s studies.
My work is periodic. I seldom go home during the day, and sometimes I have to work overtime until after 11:00, and my wife has to go on business trips frequently.
Yesterday at noon, I just finished a big project at hand. After being relieved, I wanted to go home and check Xiaojing’s study situation.
The moment I opened the door, I smelled the aroma of rice coming from the kitchen. It turned out to be Han Ying, who was making lunch for Xiaojing.
Seeing me come back, she smiled slightly, showing two charming dimples on her face, which made me a little distracted.
Her voice was very soft, “You’re back, Xiao Jing is in the bathroom. He was very good in the morning and has been studying.”
“That’s good, Xiao Han, you’ve worked hard!”
“Don’t work hard, otherwise you will have nothing to do at home when you are idle!”
After saying hello, I went into Xiaojing’s room. Although Han Ying proved that he had been studying, I touched the computer case. It was cool and there was no heat before it was turned off. It seemed that Han Ying was right. This kid didn’t secretly play games behind his back, and he was quite self-motivated.
I picked up the exercise booklet on the table again, flipped through a few pages, and found that there were many blank spaces. I was a little different. I opened the next Chinese exercise booklet, but a silk sock fell out of it.
Seeing the black stockings that fell to the ground, I became even more confused. Could it be my wife’s stockings, but why are they in Xiaojing’s homework?
At this time, I saw that half of the words in the composition column were erased with an eraser: “Auntie Han’s high-heeled shoes are so beautiful, and her feet are even more beautiful in high-heeled shoes. Ten thousand flowers in the world are not enough to describe its taste…”
My son is writing a composition, but this composition…
I picked up the stockings on the ground and put them in front of my nose to sniff them. They were worn by a woman. The strong smell of foot sweat was mixed with a faint scent of perfume. The smell was many times more sour than my wife’s. How could this kid secretly do such a thing?
At this time, I also roughly figured out the reason. It is estimated that this kid stole the socks that Han Ying took off at the door while Han Ying was cooking. My son did such a thing that made me feel ashamed.
At this time, I heard the sound of my son flushing the toilet. I hurriedly put the stockings back to the original place, put the exercise book away calmly, picked up the exercise book next to it, and pretended to carefully check a certain page of exercise.
At this time, you can’t break the matter, it will frighten him, and it will also attract Han Ying’s attention. You need to find a suitable time to have a proper heart-to-heart talk with him.
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that I hadn’t communicated with my son for a long time, and I was really an incompetent father.
Back at the company, I kept thinking about how to talk to my son at night, whether to be open and honest or to be euphemistic.
Unexpectedly, the damn work weighed me down again like a jack. Facing a big client that I have never had before, of course I have to devote myself to it.Dedicated, he quickly put his son’s affairs behind him.
I kept procrastinating like this. I wanted to call my wife to tell him about my son, but I was afraid that my wife would react too violently. When I wanted to find a chance to talk to my son again, I found that my son was doing very well.
