Luo Lan left the riverside park in a hurry and crossed the crosswalk three or two times, which was a quarter of an hour later than expected. She was afraid that she would not be able to pick up her daughter from school.
The kindergarten is built in the old city, and the road at the entrance is narrow and small. If you go a little late, parents will line up in a long queue, which is extremely congested.
Luo Lan is always at the head of the queue and leisurely enters the school gate. When holding my daughter out of school, I can still see other parents anxiously squeezing into it.
"Mom is amazing. She always comes first!" Daughter Xiaoyu always praises her.
Luo Lan feels at ease with such praise. After all, she is fully prepared.
First prepare snacks for my daughter to eat at home, and then go to the riverside park to exercise for an hour.
There are many people making noise in the morning, and the park is quiet in the afternoon. She ran around the river and then stretched in the equipment area. The water there is glistening with golden sunshine and the scenery is the best.
finally, walk to the kindergarten gate, just in time.
today, she hurried slowly, but she was still late.
Xiao Yu asked her in surprise, "Didn't mom win the first prize?"
Luo Lan, holding her daughter's hand, hurried home without saying anything, with a dignified face, as if she had met something great.
when she got home, she brought the wrong dessert and gave her daughter spicy fried beef dumplings. Kohane ate one, so hot that she burst into tears, and she had a rash on her face because of pepper allergy.
Xiao Yu is only a 6-year-old child, and her spleen and stomach are delicate, so she can't stand stimulation.
This upset Luo Lan's plan, looking for allergy medicine and cuddling Xiao Yu.
After crying for a while, Xiao Yu fell asleep on the bed, with tears on her face and her mouth pursed and sobbed.
Loran couldn't bear to wake her up, so she went to bed.

When her husband Qi Daming came home, her daughter was still sleeping.
although he had dinner in the company canteen, he still wanted to eat some more when he went home.
originally, spicy beef fried dumplings were prepared for Daming, but Xiao Yu accidentally ate them.
Qi Daming muttered, "She woke up later, but she wouldn't sleep until midnight."
"it's okay, I'll coax." Luo Lan politely brought fried dumplings to her husband and opened a bottle of beer, but it didn't taste good in her heart.
naturally, there is nothing to say about her craft. Qi Daming ate one fried dumpling at a time, his lips were glossy, and then he drank a glass of cold beer and made a comfortable burp.
"My wife is amazing. It's delicious." He smiled at Loran foolishly.
after hearing the good words, Luo Lan calmed down a little and asked, "Did you tell Manager Wang about the project in the next city?" Being close to home and having subsidies is a good opportunity. "
"I said it. He said that I was well informed and had signed me up. " Qi Daming hugged Luo Lan from behind and blew in her ear. "My wife is amazing."
"His wife likes to eat wild vegetables. In spring, I went to the countryside to dig specially. Don't say how happy you are when you give it to her. " Luo Lan made a proud look.
Qi Daming is a skilled worker, so he can't get promoted, but his salary has increased a lot every year.
Originally, Luo Lan and Daming were in the same unit, and after they got married, they settled down to be housewives at home. However, her former colleagues, she got along well, and her interpersonal relationship has been maintained, and she dare not neglect for a moment.
if there is an opportunity to go to a foreign project, their family doesn't want to miss it. Besides the salary, they can also get a good subsidy!
as soon as Luo LAN's mood cleared up, Xiao Yu woke up.
She pestered her father to tell a story, and Daming looked embarrassed after a tiring day. Luo Lan sighed in her heart, hugged the child, walked to the front of the bookshelf and picked up the book.

Sure enough, as her husband said, her daughter didn't yawn and rub her eyes until midnight, and she fell asleep reluctantly.
Luo Lan was lying next to Qi Daming, who was snoring loudly and went swimming with Duke Zhou.
when she thought of the afternoon, she became more and more uneasy.
if she hadn't eaten the wrong snacks, her daughter wouldn't have lost her temper and refused to sleep at night. If I hadn't been late for school, I wouldn't have been in a bad mood and given the wrong snacks.
after all, it's because of that damn quilt!
In the afternoon, as usual, Luo Lan went running in the park. The empty forest road was cool and breezy, which was very pleasant.
But when she was stretching, she was surprised to find that someone pulled a rope on the tree, dried a shabby quilt, and the old printed cloth seemed to have been bitten by mice.
Luo Lan wanted to ignore it, but her eyes always glanced at it unconsciously.
she walked a few steps, but the scenery was far from good. That's natural. The exercise place is carefully selected by Luolan. The buttonwood tree grows very well, the crown is connected, the shade is cool, and the sunshine is scattered between the trees. There is an open river in front of us, with good lighting and colorful flowers on the roadside.
This guy from bask in the quilt obviously found this land of geomantic omen.
if the quilt is exquisite in texture and style, forget it! It happened that it was such a junk.
she didn't run, but someone should have just aired it.
Luo Lan looked around the park for a long time, but she didn't see anyone from bask in the quilt, so she missed the time to pick up her daughter from school.
how can anyone sleep under such a quilt?
Luo Lan always follows the rules and leads a decent life.
Since childhood, she has been the apple of her parents' eye. She studies well and enjoys good popularity. I work in a big company and follow a big project. Love met Qi Daming, who was steady and diligent, and gave birth to a daughter shortly after marriage.
The husband gave her family income, social intercourse and gifts from relatives and friends, and the daughter pinned her class activities and hobbies on her mother.
as long as people are excellent, even if they are around the stove family, they are the greatest housewives!
her husband's work, she still has the residual heat of human feelings, which has played a big role. None of my daughter's class activities are left behind, and she is an excellent representative every time.
she always gets what she wants.
It happened that she was disturbed by the broken quilt and had a dream all night.

The next day, she went to school late again.
Luo Lan and other parents crowded into the school, went up the stairs side by side, and picked Xiao Yu up in the noise.
"Mom, did you go to Magic Fairy Castle? So it's late? " Kohane thought it was a strange thing that her mother was late.
"Tomorrow, mom will definitely be the first." Luo Lan stamped her feet angrily.
"hmm."
another day passed.
Luo Lan panted and ran to school, grabbing the first position in the parents' team, but her legs were trembling.
she ran all the way without stopping.
The owner of the tattered quilt still put on the quilt and ran away before she was ready to do stretching exercises.
"do you have lice? The quilt is dried every day? " She was frightened by what she blurted out.
Luo Lan found the parking lot all the way from the park, but didn't see the owner of the quilt. At this time, she noticed that opposite the parking lot was an old-fashioned community.
In a community like that, most of them are old people, and they may be reluctant to change their quilts. They still use the same bed for many years.
She unexpectedly ran to the door of the community and asked the doorman if he had seen anyone go to bask in the quilt.
Uncle is busy fighting landlords on his mobile phone. Seeing that she is not from the community, he ignores her.
when she got home, she wanted to have a good talk with Qi Daming about the broken quilt, but she only got a call from him saying that she was on a temporary business trip.
"Manager Wang seems to want someone else to go to that project in the next city. I have to show it quickly." Daming said wearily on the phone.
Luo Lan remembered that she hurried to the kindergarten in the afternoon and missed the phone call from Mrs. Manager Wang. It may be that she was dissatisfied with her neglect and made a small report.
now, it's getting late, and I can't call back.

Luo Lan, who is in charge of everything, feels that life is a little uncoordinated.
she knows everything about family affairs.
Her schedule is full of pages, three meals a day, cleaning is the foundation, seasonal storage, daily shopping is the plan, the worldly wisdom of the neighborhood, the interaction between the elders at home is an emergency, and her daughter's school activities and her husband's social intercourse are all too busy.
If she hadn't been unwell years ago and had a physical examination, the indicators were not very good, Luo Lan really wouldn't spare an hour for exercise.
in an hour, she can cook a pot of soup for her family, give a general cleaning to the bedroom and living room, or have a good chat with the school teacher and Mrs. Wang.
But health is the capital of the revolution, and she still understands this truth.
this is the only hour she can spare.
The situation lasted until the weekend. Luo Lan accompanied her daughter to a dance class. She watched Xiao Yu dancing in front of the mirror, but her mind was still thinking. I wonder if the quilt of that man was taken away?
On Monday, Luo Lan decided not to run, just waiting to see someone in bask in the quilt and persuade him to go to bask in the quilt elsewhere. After all, places like parks can't be aired.
The clothesline was confiscated the day before and tied to the tree, but the quilt was late.
Luo Lan sat in the shade of a tree and waited, her mind constantly practicing how to start preaching. Waiting left and right, she gradually relaxed, could not help but cover her mouth and yawned.
What time is it? People from bask in the quilt haven't come yet?
As soon as Luo Lan turned on her mobile phone, she found that Daming had made several phone calls, and her daughter's class kept shouting, "Qi Yu's mother can come to pick up the children."
ah! It's almost an hour since school!
Luo Lan started to run, and Daming called again.
"Why haven't you picked Xiao Yu up yet?" Daming lowered his voice on the other end of the phone, but his attitude was not good. "Go quickly, I am in a meeting and can't leave."
Luo Lan felt pain and sadness in her heart, and she was extremely annoyed.
"ok, ok!" Luo Lan didn't have time to reply, so she ran to school.
Xiao Yu is playing with building blocks cleverly in the classroom. When she sees Luo Lan coming, she quickly takes her hand and says goodbye to the teacher.
as soon as she got out of the kindergarten gate, Xiao Yu cried with a wow.
She is always the first to be picked up by her parents, and she has never been left alone in an empty classroom. Although the teacher asked her to choose any toys, she was so scared that she didn't know if her mother would come.
Xiao Yu cried until her eyes were swollen, and she was out of breath before asking, "Does mom want me?"
In the evening, Qi Daming came back with a calm face and didn't eat extra food. He said, "I always come out to call you when I have a coordination meeting in the afternoon, and I have some opinions about the attitude of the leaders. I am afraid that the transfer of posts will be yellow. "
"how come?" Luo Lan said subconsciously.
"There are always personal matters. If you are sent to other places, how can you manage it?" Qi Daming dumped a sentence, and his tone was neither salty nor light.

Loran couldn't sleep over and over, and the rope on the tree by the river was always hanging in front of her eyes.
one hour, as long as one hour belongs to me.
She does her best in her daughter's study, her husband's work and everything at home. All she needs is an hour to exercise and have a rest.
I finally chose a place to exercise, but I have to bask in such an ugly quilt!
why? Why?
Luo Lan felt a warm feeling in her body, which swept all over her from her chest. She was furious.
Daming beside her snores heavily. She gets up from the quilt and turns on the light. Daming slept soundly, with faint dark circles under his eyes, and the financial pressure of his family was on him.
the woman is in charge, and the man is outside. No one is easy.
when she changed her clothes and took the key to go out, Luo Lan didn't think about where to go. She can't get rid of the boredom in her heart, just want to breathe.
over the years, she has come over, giving up her career, giving up her communication and choosing a family. Family members are happy, and this happiness has its own contribution. Isn't it very proud?
But she is also greedy. She wants her own space, a time when no one is bothering her, and a time to enjoy the scenery alone in the riverside park at 3 pm.
My feet unconsciously took her to the park, and the moonlight filled the path of the park. There was no one around, and one or two meows of stray cats could be heard in the bushes.
Luo Lan was not afraid.
that rope is still tied to the buttonwood, hanging in the air alone. Luo Lan trotted two steps, took pains to untie the rope, and angrily wanted to throw it into the river.
She ran to the river in a hurry, and the long clothesline dragged on the ground, and she almost tripped. Just as she wanted to throw a rope, she suddenly found the owner of the quilt.
where Luo Lan is standing, there is a bridge not far from the right hand side. The bridge deck is very wide. Headlights are on under the bridge, and several municipal clean ships are parked on the water.
She has never noticed that there are not only boats parked under that bridge, but also vagrants, or rather, a wandering old lady.
The old lady is about 6 years old, with her head resting on a large striped cloth duffel bag, which probably hides all her belongings. She is covered with a dirty quilt that Loran hates. The old lady didn't fall asleep, half-squinting, staring at the soup stewed on the coal stove beside her.
Luo Lan leaned over and looked around for a long time, and her breathing became heavy.
She kept rubbing the clothesline in her hand, and the feel of plastic hurt her. This rope was also picked up by the old lady who lived under the bridge.
She is probably an old rag picker. These days, will there really be such people?
I'm so poor that I don't even have a place to live. Do you want to sleep in this place? What does she usually eat? What to drink? How to live? What should I do if I get sick?
Luo Lan's mind is a mess. She has seen beggars begging on the roadside and lonely old people, but she has never seen a tramp lying under the bridge in the middle of the night, covered with a quilt and ready to sleep.
she was scared.
Luo Lan's anger and upset all evaporated. She couldn't say a word, and her hands trembled and tied the clothesline back.
it's terrible, this life is terrible.
She can imagine the days when there is no money, and she can also imagine the scene where the husband and wife are not in harmony and the family is not harmonious, but this kind of despair in No Country for Old Men is beyond Luo Lan's imagination.
She ran home and sat in the living room all night without looking back.
Luo Lan hates that quilt, because it blocks the scenery she saw during exercise, but it is actually the whole sustenance of the wandering old man.

Luo Lan never went running in the riverside park again.
Qi Daming finally transferred to the next city and went home twice a week, and his salary increased a lot. He asked Loran if she wanted a present. Loran offered to buy a treadmill.
In the afternoon, she prepared snacks for her daughter and ran for a few kilometers. The treadmill can choose many scenic routes, not only riverside paths, but also forests and grasslands ...
The daughter dared not run on the treadmill, but only dared to walk fast, and the slope rose, and she was so scared that she shouted to her mother to come quickly.
Luo Lan coaxed her daughter and got a call from Mrs. Wang, the manager, asking her about the filling formula of spicy beef dumplings.
"Onions, mashed garlic and pepper are added to it. Be sure to pour a little pepper oil." Luo Lan patiently explained.
"So it's pepper oil. You are really something." Mrs. Wang suddenly realized.
It's a trivial matter. What's really remarkable is that you can keep one.
