Today, it is drizzling in Jiangcheng. It is not surprising that this city is located in the water town of Jiangnan, and it is a warm and rainy city. When it rains, it is more poetic and picturesque.

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

The coffee shop on the corner of the street has quietly opened. Yang Yi, who doesn’t like the excitement and is not familiar with the world, did not make it prosperous. He even chose to have a weekend free time to hang the quaint wood art sign, which is an opening ceremony.

This also led to no one knowing that no customers have come to the door since the coffee shop opened two days ago...

But Yang Yi didn't care.

The sky is dark, but the coffee shop is warm and home-like. The light yellow and soft lights illuminate every corner slightly, as warm as if sitting around the fire on a winter night, especially suitable for friends to whisper together.

However, in front of the bar, Yang Yi turned on the particularly bright incandescent lamp. While wiping the cup without getting tired of it, he was smiling as his daughter painted.

The little man Xixi sat high, leaned over the clean and spacious marble bar, carefully depicting the image in his heart on white drawing paper with her colorful crayons.

I don’t know how long it took, but the little guy raised his head and said happily: “Dad, look, how do I draw it?”

Yang Yi kept watching. Xixi had made progress after he had taught a few moves earlier, but the drawing was still very abstract.

"Not bad! Is this one you painted an elephant?" Yang Yi asked with a thumbs up and pointed to the animal on the drawing paper that was as round as a pig but had a long nose.

"Yes!" Xixi said happily, "Mom Elephant has a long nose."

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

After reading the parenting manuals, Yang Yi's concepts changed a little.

In the past, he thought Xixi's paintings were a bit awkward, so he wanted to teach her how to draw!

However, this is what this book says: "Learning to draw too early will make children unable 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 graphical 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 freely imagination and association, and cannot be restricted by fixed graphics, but should be fully expressed in rich color experiences and graphical changes without fixed patterns."

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

Yang Yi, who was in a cold sweat, curled up his impulse to teach Xixi to draw, but instead changed it to support and encouragement, allowing the little guy to freely use his imagination to draw what he wanted to express.

And it's pretty good to draw!

Yang Yi began to learn to appreciate and praise: "Look at how cute the elephant you painted is, you will be very happy at first glance!"

Xixi laughed happily, and became more motivated, so she continued to lower her head and paint.

At this time, the wind chime at the door rang, and someone pushed open the door. Yang Yi noticed it and looked over subconsciously. But the visitor did not come in, but just asked a little boy to come in and hide from the rain first.

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

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

Seeing the little boy's nervous look, Yang Yi had to walk out of the bar. Xixi also jumped down from the chair, held his father's hand, hid behind his father, and secretly poked his head out to see the little brother who should be five or six years old.

Yang Yi looked out the door with a little curiousness. Outside the door, there was a young woman with a good look, probably not very old. She was a little embarrassed, holding an umbrella, but her hair was messy, her clothes were half wet by the rain, and the shoes on her feet were also stained with mud, and mud spots even splashed on her white stockings. Her petite and helpless look made people feel pity for life.

But Yang Yi had no imagination. He asked in confusion: "Hello, why don't you come in?"

The young woman looked up at Yang Yi with apologies and said, "Sorry, I accidentally stepped into your flowers just now and didn't pay attention to walking."

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 it. Can you please help me with a basin of water to rinse it?"

"It doesn't matter if you're dirty, I'll wipe it later." Yang Yi looked at the shoe prints left by the little boy just now. Although it was just rain, it still made Yang Yi feel uncomfortable. Anyway, it's already dirty, and it doesn't matter if it's dirty at all. I have to hygienize later...

"Forget it, I'll take you upstairs." Yang Yi thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "It's just a bathroom downstairs, it's not easy to wash, there's still hot water upstairs."

Before the young woman could object, Yang Yi picked up the large umbrella hanging behind the door, stretched it open, bent down and picked up Xixi, then smiled faintly and said, "Let's go!"

"Oh, oh, okay, thank you! Is this your daughter?" The young woman was arranged by Yang Yi, a little shy, her face flushed, pulled her son up, followed her step by step, and had nothing to say.

From the back of the store to the courtyard, Yang Yi got a lot of information from the other party’s mouth.

The young woman's name is Yan Xiaopei, and her son is Yan Yingkai. From her surname, it can be seen that Yan Xiaopei has divorced and her son is following her surname. Obviously, her ex-husband doesn't know what she has done that makes her so deeply resentful.

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

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

"Is your coffee shop newly opened? I haven't seen it before?" When Yan Xiaopei came in, she insisted on not coming in wearing muddy shoes. Yang Yi had to settle two small ones first and then bring her slippers over.

"Yeah." Yang Yi nodded.

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

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

"The store hired two college students to work part-time, and on rainy days, no one came out." Yan Xiaopei said softly.

Upstairs, she 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 being angry. She was restless and secretly looked at the little brother and looked at the stairs.

Fortunately, when my father came back, Xixi couldn't wait to run over and hug her father's legs.

(PS: This is just a very ordinary supporting role. At most, a few episodes of life~ it is not even a supporting role! So you don’t have to worry about her becoming a mistress or having sex with Yang Yi. This book says it’s a single heroine, so there will definitely be no mistakes like "My Fairy Miss" again.)
