Memories of Ning Lu (Forty-Three)

After the Spring Festival, Ning Lu also worked in a specialty store. One day, she was working in the afternoon, and when it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, she was sorting out the goods, and her mother-in-law called to say that Jiayuan had not yet returned home, and the child was out of school at five o'clock! It was almost dark at eight o'clock, and the mother-in-law said that Zhai Shengmin and Zhai Caiwei had gone out to look for it, so that Ning Lu should not be in a hurry. How can you not be in a hurry? Xiao Jiayuan is ning lu's lifeblood! Ning Lu asked the store manager for leave to look for it along the path of the child's school, and just as she was changing clothes, the mobile phone rang again, and the voice of a strange man came from him, asking him if he was Zhai Jiayuan's mother. Ning Lu's first reaction was that the police had called, and jiayuan had an accident. She burst into tears and choked up and said, "Yes, I am." Are you? "Oh, I'm Zhai Jiayuan's father, she came to my house from school in the afternoon to play, she has already had dinner, and now I'm watching my daughter practice at the dojo where my daughter learns taekwondo, you can come and pick her up, the dojo is not far from where you work." After telling Ning Lu the address, Ning Lu panicked and said thank you and ran to that address.

As soon as they entered the dojo, the children were running around during the rest time, and the scene was a bit chaotic. Ning Lu saw Jiayuan at a glance, and the little guy did not chase and fight with other children, but looked around the big sandbag, occasionally stretching out his small fist to hit a few times. The child was very focused, did not see the mother, Ning Lu did not bother her, just looked at her, tears rushed out. The feeling of her daughter's loss and recovery made her stand in front of a group of parents and cry uncontrollably.

Jiayuan finally saw her mother, she ran to her mother with excitement, and that sunny smile Ning Lu had not seen for a long time. At this moment, she realized that this was what a child should look like, so carefree, so happy and brilliant. Ning Lu quickly lowered her head to wipe away her tears, looked at her with a smile, and took her in her arms. "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Are you crying? "No, no, it's Mom who's happy to see you."

On the way home, Ning Lu held Jiayuan's hand tightly, and was reluctant to let go for a moment. Xiao Jiayuan was very excited, she said: "Mom, do you know how fun Anan's family is?" We cooked with her mom and dad, we washed vegetables and fruits, it felt so good, I wanted to cook a meal with you. After eating, the four of us still play games together, play backgammon, you don't know how funny her dad is, making us all laugh, my dad wants to be like this. She also had a ping-pong table at home and we also played table tennis for a while and they all played very well, only I wouldn't. Mom, I will definitely study hard in the future, don't let you worry, you also teach me to play table tennis, okay? Ning Lu nodded, she had already made up her mind, even if she couldn't change Zhai Shengmin, she could change herself. She wants to be a mother worthy of her family's love, and she wants to return the joy to her children.

Since then, Ning Lu no longer put Jiayuan's grades first, but has worked hard to listen to the voices of her children. They laughed together, made trouble together, and even went to the community garden together, digging up dirt and mud kneading people. Of course, Ning Lu taught Jiayuan to play table tennis. Under the guidance of the eldest uncle, the little guy's table tennis still played well. When the people in the family say something unsalty or indifferent to Jiayuan, Ning Lu will also come forward to retort that for the sake of the child, she is no longer afraid of offending people.

She talked to Zhai Shengmin, and also hoped that he could change and not always belittle the child; hoped that he could give affirmation and encouragement when the child achieved good results; hoped that he could also increase his interaction with the child, have time not to go out to drink, and play with the child at home. Sure enough, Zhai Shengmin was dismissive of Ning Lu's persuasion, and his educational philosophy was still stuck in the ignorant stage of fatherly strictness and filial piety.

In any case, Jiayuan's personality has changed a lot, always smiling every day, chattering around her mother, and her academic performance is not top-notch, but it is excellent. This is enough, Ning Lu is very satisfied, her daughter's health and happiness is what she wants to see, and she will pray for it for the rest of her life.
