Chapter 1687: Walking Alone
Although Zhang Zian and the others don't look like bad guys, this is a completely unfamiliar environment after all. Cai Meiwen really wants to take Xiao Celery home immediately, because the word "home" always makes people feel at ease and warm, but outside Even if she wants to go home, she can't go. She can overcome all difficulties to find her daughter, but she can't bear to take her daughter into the storm. She knows how dangerous it is. She just personally experienced.
After she treated the wound with iodophor, Xiao Celery helped her throw the used cotton swabs into the trash.
"Little Celery, why didn't you go home directly after school, why did you come here? Didn't the teacher tell you to go home directly?"
She held Xiao Celery's arm and asked seriously.
Cai Meiwen's workplace is far away from their home. It is a private company, and it is located in the opposite direction from the connection between her home and Zhonghua Road Primary School. Therefore, it is difficult for her to pick up and drop off Xiaoqiancai to and from school every day, which will take a lot of time.
In fact, when Xiao Celery first started school, she did pick her up every day.
Little Celery is very sensible. Seeing that her mother is working so hard, she is busy with work and housework until late at night. The next morning, she has to get up early to prepare breakfast, send her to school, and then turn back a long way to go to work. It is very hard. , haggard almost visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, going to school is the most troublesome thing after school. Elementary school ends early, and Cai Meiwen leaves work late. This time difference can only rely on begging the boss to let her pick up the children and then come back to work, and use unpaid overtime to make up for the time loss during this period. You have to endure the eyes of colleagues, because a lot of work is done together by the team, and it is everyone's time that she leaves halfway.
One day not long after school started, Little Celery said that she could go to school alone without her mother picking her up.
Cai Meiwen's first reaction was definitely to be worried and uneasy, but Xiao Celery stubbornly insisted on going to and from school by herself, and even drew a route map from home to school with immature brushstrokes, which showed that she did not propose it on impulse. Instead, after generating an idea, I made careful observation, kept it firmly in my mind, and finally put it on paper and pen.
The road map is full of the fun of a child of her age. Since she didn't know much at the beginning, she could only use pinyin and graphics to describe those landmark buildings, especially when turning and crossing the road, she also wrote Warnings such as "stop once, look twice, pass three times".
Cai Meiwen remembered that there seemed to be this pet shop in the road map drawn by Xiao Celery at the beginning. It was the outline of a house with the simplest strokes, and then drew a cartoon cat head inside the house. She brought Xiao Celery herself When I was in school, I didn’t notice the existence of this pet shop. Maybe I was always anxious to send the little celery to school and then go to work. I was afraid of being scolded by the boss and deducting my salary for being late, so I was not in the mood to look at the shops on both sides of the road.
When she saw the road map drawn by Xiao Celery, she was very surprised and pleasantly surprised at the same time. In addition to being surprised and delighted by Xiao Celery's meticulous observation skills, what is especially commendable is Xiao Celery's caring and considerate mother. When the child was squandering the unconditional love of her parents, Little Celery already knew how to repay her... To be able to feel this kind of heart, no matter how hard and tiring she is, it is worth it.
She didn't rush to agree. When she sent Xiao Celery to school the next day, she compared the road map and found that the road map was very accurate. Even a newcomer to Binhai City could easily arrive from her home according to this road map. Zhonghua Road Primary School.
So, the next night, she agreed to let little Celery go to and from school by herself.
Little Celery was jumping up and down with joy, jumping up and down on the bed, as if she didn't seem to be nervous or afraid at all.
Cai Meiwen smiled, but her heart was not that big. On the morning of the third day, she left home first, pretending to go to work, but in fact she waited quietly downstairs, and saw Xiao Celery walking out of the residential building during school hours, carefully following the road map and walking towards the school.
She followed Little Celery far away,
Don't worry too much in your heart, especially when you walk to the intersection, or when a stranger approaches Xiao Celery.
Little Celery also seemed a little nervous. Every time she walked to an intersection, she would repeatedly compare the road map, confirm landmark buildings, then observe traffic lights and vehicles, and finally move forward.
It wasn't until the gate of Zhonghua Road Primary School appeared in front that the mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. After watching Xiao Qincai enter the school, Cai Meiwen happily went to work.
That night, Xiao Celery talked excitedly about her first experience of going to school alone, and described the process very easily, while Cai Meiwen happily sang with her daughter while cooking.
Cai Meiwen's test of her daughter is not over yet. In fact, when she was at work during the day, she asked a female colleague who usually gets along well to do her a favor.
On the fourth day, Xiao Qincai still went to school alone. On the way, she met a stranger who spoke to her. This stranger was Cai Meiwen's female colleague, and Xiao Qingcai had never met her before. She took Xiao Celery's favorite snacks and lured Xiao Celery to go with her, but Xiao Celery immediately ran away without looking back, ignoring her strike-up.
Seeing this scene from a distance, Cai Meiwen finally smiled with relief. It seems that her usual eloquence was not in vain.
In the days that followed, Cai Meiwen was finally able to devote more energy to work, got more rest time, and eased the discord with colleagues, all because Xiao Celery could go to and from school alone .
Later, she occasionally followed Xiao Celery quietly. As Xiao Celery became more and more familiar with the route, she became more and more at ease, and the frequency of following became less and less, and finally she was completely relieved and no longer followed.
It may be due to the relatively good public security environment and relatively simple folk customs in Binhai City. There are not many migrants. Little Celery has never had any problems going to and after school. Slowly, Cai Meiwen can finally look at it with a normal heart. This matter, only occasionally hear some rumors, such as the news that a few unemployed vagrants with dyed hair smashed, smashed, looted and then subdued on the only way Xiao Celery went to school, and my heart trembled, but even this kind of The security incident also happened at night, and the elementary school students had already returned home from school.
Until today, she has been busy with her work all morning, and she didn't know the news of the typhoon until noon. Private companies are always very cautious about such news. They only decide to take a holiday if they have no choice. After all, the boss will lose money because of the holiday. The money is not compensated by the government.
