House Dad’s Literary Life

Today’s Jiangcheng is carrying a patter of light rain. Not surprisingly, the city is located in the water town of Jiangnan, itself a warm and rainy city. It rained, but it was more poetic.

Of course, Xixi is not as strong as Dad, and the spring rain is cold. In the morning, Dad added a thin jacket to the little girl.

Street Corner’s Coffee Shop has been quietly opened. It doesn’t like the excitement, and the worldly Yang Yi didn’t make a big splash. It even chose a weekend leisure time to hang the quaint wooden signboard, which is an opening ceremony.

This has also led to no one knowing that there have been no customers coming to the store since the opening of the coffee shop for two days…

It’s just that Yang Yi doesn’t care.

The sky is dark, but the coffee shop is warm and home-like, light yellow and soft lighting, every corner is slightly illuminated, warm as if sitting around the fire in the winter night, especially suitable for a low-pitched narration of friends.

But in front of the bar, Yang Yi turned on the incredibly bright incandescent lamp, and while he was tired of rubbing the cup, he smiled and watched his daughter draw.

Xixi small figure Sit high, lean over the clean and spacious marble bar, carefully use her colorful crayons to paint the image of the heart on the white paper.

I don’t know how long it took, the little guy looked up and said happily: “Papa, look, how are I painting?”

Yang Yi has been watching. Xixi has made progress after he has taught a few tricks earlier, but the painting is still very abstract.

“Yes! Is this an elephant you painted?” Yang Yi gave a thumbs up and pointed to the animal on the drawing paper that was as round as a pig, but with a long nose.

“Yes!” Xixi said happily. “The elephant mother has a long nose.”

“Drawing awesome!” Yang Yi smiled and licked the little guy’s head.

After reading those parenting manuals, Yang Yi’s concept has changed.

He used to think that Xixi’s paintings were a bit awkward, so I wanted to teach her how to paint!

However, there is something in the book: “It’s too early to learn to draw, but the children won’t draw…”

0-7 children are in an important period of right brain development, and a very important part of right brain development is “to improve with the transformation and expression of graphics, thus promoting the health of the right brain and the formation of divergent thinking, Therefore, children in this period need to express their imagination and association freely, and they cannot be constrained by fixed graphics, but should be fully expressed in rich color experience and undefined graphic changes.”

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

Yang Yi, who was shocked by a cold sweat, convinced her impulse to teach Xixi to paint, but changed her support and encouragement so that the little guy could freely use his imagination to paint what he wanted to express.

And the painting is not bad!

Yang Yi began to learn to appreciate and praise: “You see how cute the elephant you paint, and you will be happy at first glance!”

Xixi smiled happily, and the motivation was even better. He continued to bow down.

At this time, the wind chime at the door rang, and someone pushed the door open. Yang Yi noticed that subconsciously looked at the past. But the comers did not come in, just let a little boy advance the door to hide from the rain.

“Hello!” Yang Yi couldn’t see anyone through the curtain. But Yang heard a gentle female voice, soft like the drizzle outside.

Why don’t you come in? Yang Yi is puzzled.

Looking at the boy’s nervousness, Yang Yi had to come out of the bar. Xixi also hurried down from the chair, took his father’s hand, hid behind his father, and secretly explored the small head to see that there should be five. Six-year-old brother.

Yang Yi looked at the door a little curiously. Outside the door, it was a young woman who was very eye-catching and should not be old. She was a little wolverine, holding an umbrella, but her hair was messy, she was drenched in the rain, and the shoes on her feet were stained with mud. The mud spots even splashed on her white stockings, looking like a petite helpless look. Have to provoke life and pity.

But Yang Yi didn’t have any delusions. He asked some unromantic questions: “Hello, why don’t you come in?”

The young woman looked up at Yang Yi with apologetic and said, “Sorry, I just stepped on your flower and walked without paying attention.”

Yang Yi didn’t care. He waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. If you want to avoid the rain, come in, how big is it!”

But the young woman was still a little embarrassed and embarrassed to say: “My shoes are dirty, a lot of mud is on it, can you trouble me to help me with a basin of water?”

“Dirty doesn’t matter, I will wipe it later.” Yang Yi looked at the shoe print left by the little boy just now. Although it was just rain, Yang Yi felt unwell. Anyway, it was dirty and dirty. It doesn’t matter at all, I have to be hygienic after I have…

“Forget it, I will take you upstairs.” Yang Yi thought about it and shook his head and said, “The downstairs is just a bathroom, not good to wash, there is hot water upstairs.”

Without waiting for the young woman to object, Yang Yi picked up the big umbrella hanging behind the door. After propping it up, he bent down and held Xixi up, then smiled and said, “Let’s go!”

“Oh, oh, okay, thank you! Is this your daughter?” The young woman was arranged by Yang Yi, some shy, and her face was red, and her son was pulled up, and she was no longer looking for words.

From the back of the store to the small courtyard, not far from the road, Yang Yi got a lot of information from the other side’s mouth.

The young woman’s name is Yan Xiao, her son is Yan Yingkai. From the surname, she can see that Yan Xiao is divorced. Her son is following his surname. Obviously her ex-husband does not know what she has done so deeply. .

Of course, Yang Yi is not interested and has not asked.

Today, Yan Xiao’s reason is so embarrassing because his son went to the piano class. Yan Xiao took him back from the rain, but when he passed the door of Yang Yi shop, he didn’t pay attention to the road, stepped on the edge of the flowerbed and stepped on the mud. .

“Your coffee shop is newly opened? Didn’t you see it before?” When Yan Xiaojin came, he refused to wear muddy shoes and Yang Yi had to settle in two small ones and then give her Slippers passed.

“Yeah.” Yang Yi nodded.

Yan Xiaoyi was very shy at first, but now it seems that after being familiar with it, she is still a very talkative person. She is carrying the dirty shoes behind Yang Yi: “Hey, I was at the east gate of the school and opened. A flower shop…”

“East Gate? Business should be very hot, but what do you do when you come out of the store?” Yang Yi remembered the shops in Dongmen that he had seen before, and asked some questions.

“There were two college students working part-time in the store, and it was raining, no one came out.” Yan Xiao said softly.

Going upstairs, I saw Xixi sitting face to face with Yan Yingkai across the coffee table. The little boy was somewhat introverted and bowed his head in silence. Xixi was also afraid of life. She was restless and sneaked at the little brother for a moment, and looked at the stairs for a while.

Fortunately, when Dad came back, Xixi couldn’t wait to run over and hold his father’s leg.

(PS: This is just a very ordinary and very common role of minor characters. At most, you can live a few episodes. Even the supporting role is not worth it! So you don’t have to worry about her becoming mistress, or having a relationship with Yang Yi. This book is a single female. Lead, that will never happen again like “My Miss Fairy”.)
