House Dad’s Literary Life

Chapter 43 The young woman in the flower shop (33)

It is raining lightly in Jiangcheng today. This is not surprising. The city is located in the Jiangnan water town, which is itself a warm and rainy city. When it rained, it became more poetic.

Of course, Xixi was not as strong as her father, and the spring rain was cold, so her father added an extra thin shirt to the little girl in the morning.

The coffee shop on the corner has quietly opened. Yang Yi, who doesn't like liveliness and is unworldly, didn't make a big deal. He even just chose a weekend in his spare time to hang up the quaint wooden signboard, which is regarded as an opening ceremony.

This also caused no one to know that since the coffee shop opened for two days, no customers have come to the door...

It's just that Yang Yi didn't care.

The sky is dark, but the coffee shop is warm like home. The soft yellow light illuminates every corner slightly. It is as warm as sitting around the fire on a winter night. It is especially suitable for friends to talk in a low voice.

However, in front of the bar, Yang Yi turned on an exceptionally bright incandescent lamp. He was wiping the glass tirelessly while watching his daughter paint with a smile.

Little Xixi sat high, leaned over the clean and spacious marble bar, and carefully used her colored crayons to draw the image in her heart on the white drawing paper.

I don't know how long it took, the little guy raised his head and said happily, Baba, look, how is my painting?

Yang Yi has been watching, Xixi has made progress after he taught a few tricks earlier, but her paintings are still very abstract.

Not bad! Is this an elephant you drew? Yang Yi gave a thumbs up, pointing at the animal with a long nose that was as round as a pig on the drawing paper.

Yes! Xixi said happily, Mother elephant has a long trunk.

The painting is awesome! Yang Yi smiled and rubbed the little guy's head.

After reading those parenting manuals, Yang Yi's concept has changed a bit.

Before, he still thought Xixi's drawing was a little awkward, so he wanted to teach her how to draw!

However, there is a book that says this: Learning to draw too early will make children not able to draw...

Children aged 0-7 are in an important period of right brain development, and a very important part of right brain development is to improve with the help of graphic transformation and expression, so as to promote the health of the right brain and the formation of divergent thinking. Therefore, children in this period need to express their imaginations and associations freely, and they should not be constrained by fixed graphics, but should be fully expressed in the rich color experience and the changes of graphics without stereotypes.”

If Yang Yi teaches Xixi her own painting skills and ideas, then her own right brain development will be affected!

Yang Yi, who was in a cold sweat, restrained his urge to teach Xixi how to draw, and changed it to support and encouragement, so that the little guy could freely use his imagination to paint what he wanted to express.

And the drawing is pretty good too!

Yang Yi began to learn to appreciate and praise: Look at how cute the elephants you draw are, you'll be very happy when you look at them!

Xixi laughed happily, she was more motivated, and continued to lower her head to draw.

At this time, the wind chime at the door rang, someone pushed open the door, Yang Yi noticed it, and looked over subconsciously. But the comer didn't come in, just let a little boy go through the door to hide from the rain.

Hello! Yang Yi could not see anyone through the curtain, but he heard a gentle female voice, as soft as the drizzle outside.

Why don't you come in? Yang Yi was puzzled.

Seeing the nervous look of the little boy, Yang Yi had no choice but to come out of the bar, and Xixi quickly jumped off the chair, took her father's hand, and hid behind her father. Five or six year old brother.

Yang Yi looked out the door a little curiously. Outside the door, there was a young woman with clear eyebrows, who should not be too old. She was a little embarrassed, holding an umbrella, but her hair was messy, and her clothes were half wet from the rain. The shoes on her feet were also stained with mud. To be pitiful.

But Yang Yi didn't have any reverie, he asked a little puzzled: Hello, why don't you come in?

The young woman looked up at Yang Yi apologetically, and said, I'm sorry, I just stepped on your flower by accident and didn't pay attention when I walked.

Yang Yi didn't care, he waved his hand and said, It doesn't matter, if you want to shelter from the rain, come in, what a big deal!

But the young woman was still a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly, My shoes are very dirty, and there is a lot of mud on them. Could you please help me with a basin of water first?

It doesn't matter if it's dirty, I'll wipe it later. Yang Yi glanced at the shoe print left by the little boy just now. Although it was only rain, it still made Yang Yi feel uncomfortable. It doesn't matter at all, I have to do a lot of hygiene later...

Forget it, I'll take you upstairs. Yang Yi thought about it, shook his head, and said, The downstairs is just a bathroom, it's not easy to wash, and there is hot water upstairs.

Without waiting for the young woman to object, Yang Yi picked up the big umbrella hanging behind the door, opened it, bent down and hugged Xixi, then smiled lightly and said, Let's go!

Oh, oh, okay, thank you! Is this your daughter? The young woman was arranged by Yang Yi. She was a little shy and blushed.

From the back of the store to the small courtyard and upstairs, Yang Yi got a lot of information from the other party's mouth not far away.

The young woman's name is Yan Xiaopei, and her son's name is Yan Yingkai. It can be seen from the surname that Yan Xiaopei has been divorced, and her sons follow her own surname. Obviously, her ex-husband does not know what he has done that makes her so resentful.

Of course, Yang Yi was not interested and did not ask any further questions.

Today, the reason why Yan Xiaopei is so embarrassed is because his son went to piano lessons, and Yan Xiaopei picked him up in the rain, but when he passed by the door of Yang Yi's store, he didn't pay attention to the road, and stepped on the edge of the flowerbed and stepped in the mud .

Is your coffee shop newly opened? I don't think you've seen it before? When Yan Xiaopei came in, he insisted on not wearing muddy shoes to come in. Yang Yi had to settle the two small ones first, and then bring them to her. Slippers go.

Yeah. Yang Yi nodded.

Yan Xiaopei was very shy at first, but now it seems that after getting acquainted with her, she is still a very talkative person, she followed Yang Yi with her dirty shoes: Oh, I opened a door at the east gate of the school. flower shop……

Dongmen? The business should be very popular, but what do you do when you come out of the store? Yang Yi asked in confusion, recalling the shops in Dongmen he had seen before.

The store hired two college students part-time, and it was raining, and no one came out. Yan Xiaopei said softly.

When I went upstairs, I saw Xixi and Yan Yingkai sitting face to face across the coffee table. The little boy was a little introverted and lowered his head silently. Xixi was also afraid of life.

Fortunately, when Dad came back, Xixi couldn't wait to run over and hug Dad's leg.

(PS: This is just a very common and common role, and it will last a few episodes at most~ It’s not even a supporting role! So you don’t have to worry about her becoming a junior or having a relationship with Yang Yi. This book says she is a single heroine. , then there will never be a mistake like My Fairy Lady again.)
