As we all know, girls spend a long time washing and dressing up. If Gu Jia is alone downstairs, she will definitely be able to wait patiently, but the child cannot.
Xu Ziyan has just entered kindergarten and is at a lively and active age. How can he stay still? Moreover, there is no large shopping mall near Hongkou Garden.
It didn't take long for Xu Ziyan's little mouth to slowly curl up.
"Ziyan, let's go up there to find our godmother, okay?"
Gu Jia touched his son's head and coaxed him.
"All right!"
Xu Ziyan lowered his head and whispered back, looking a little depressed.
Gu Jia shook her head helplessly. After so many years, Xiaoqin's temper has not changed.
"Come on, let's go up and find godmother. I heard that godmother has a lot of cat toys at home."
When Xu Ziyan heard the word 'toy', his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was obviously interested.
Gu Jia smiled slightly when she saw this, and the mother and son held hands and walked towards the building. Although the building looked very old, there were still elevators, making it very convenient to go up and down the stairs.
After a while, the mother and son came to the door. When Gu Jia saw the newly replaced door lock, a smile appeared on his face.
In the past, Zhong Xiaoqin often complained in front of her that the door at home was difficult to open.
At that time, Gu Jia suggested that she just ask someone to change the lock, but Xiaoqin didn't seem to take it seriously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zhong Xiaoqin was taking a shower in the bathroom at the moment. The sound of rushing water covered up the knock on the door. When Li Jie heard the movement at the door, he already guessed who was coming.
As soon as the door opened, it turned out to be Gu Jia and her son.
"Godfather!"
Xu Ziyan didn't need to be reminded by his mother and called him "godfather" very politely.
"Hey, Ziyan is so good."
Li Jie leaned over and pinched his little face, then turned slightly to invite the two of them into the house.
"Xiaoqin is taking a bath, it will probably take a while."
Gu Jia smiled and shook her head, saying that she didn't mind. After all, she was used to Zhong Xiaoqin like this.
"Gu Jia, just wait, I'll be there soon!"
Zhong Xiaoqin in the bathroom heard the sound coming from outside and shouted hurriedly.
Gu Jia walked to the bathroom door and said inside: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, just take your time."
"Daddy, can I play with those cats?"
As soon as Xu Ziyan entered the door, he noticed the lucky cat placed in the living room, and then he never moved his eyes away. Even though his tutor was very good, he was still a child after all, and after a while he couldn't help but express what was in his heart.
Thoughts.
"Of course, no problem, go ahead."
Li Jie patted his head. This little boy is the only warm-hearted man in the whole drama. He is also sensible and considerate. He has countless fans in the main world.
"Gu Jia, please sit down for a while."
After greeting Gu Jia, Li Jie went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water for each of them, then went to the study and took out a few toys.
These things were originally bought by the 'original body' for the unborn child, but the 'original body' didn't know much about baby toys, so the things he bought were not baby toys at all, but toys for children around 3 years old.
Originally, Li Jie planned to keep it, but since Xu Ziyan came to visit, he might as well give it to him.
"Zi Yan? Zi Yan?" Li Jie held a toy car in one hand and a mini figure in the other, attracting the child's attention with a smile: "Look, what is this?"
"Wow!"
Xu Ziyan turned his head and looked around, exclaimed, immediately gave up studying the lucky cat on the table, and ran towards Li Jie happily.
"It's a car and Ultraman!"
When Gu Jia saw the toy Li Jie was holding, she understood what it was about.
'Teacher Chen' definitely didn't know that he was coming to the door today, so these things probably weren't specially bought for Ziyan.
In this case, it is self-evident who to buy it for.
In addition, as soon as Gu Jia entered the door, he noticed the night light installed in the aisle.
No need to think, this must be the handiwork of ‘Teacher Chen’.
Gu Jia sighed again when she thought of this. If she guessed correctly, Xiaoqin should not have noticed these things.
Although 'Teacher Chen' doesn't say it with her mouth, she still loves Xiaoqin very much in her heart. It is indeed a pity that the two of them got divorced.
However, since the two of them are still living together, it can be considered a good start.
Maybe in the near future, she will hear the good news of their remarriage.
As for her best friend, she knew very clearly that Xiaoqin had never let go of 'Teacher Chen' in her heart.
"All given to you!"
On the other side, Li Jie knelt down and put the toy into Xu Ziyan's hand.
"Thank you godfather!"
Xu Ziyan happily took the toy, gave Li Jie a kiss, and then ran towards Gu Jia holding the toy high.
"Mom, look, this is a car, this is Ultraman!"
"What car Ultraman?"
At this moment, Zhong Xiaoqin walked out of the bathroom, wiping her wet hair with a towel, and asked full of doubts.
She remembered clearly that there were no children's toys at home.
"Hey, Ziyan is holding it in his hand, it was given by Teacher Chen."
Gu Jia pointed at the toy in her son's hand, and then thanked Li Jie.
"Thank you, Teacher Chen."
Li Jie waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."
Looking at the beaming Xu Ziyan, Li Jie was wondering whether he should help Gu Jia or not.
Subjectively speaking, he did not want to get involved in Gu Jia's marriage.
The reason why Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan reached the stage of divorce cannot be entirely blamed on Xu Huanshan alone.
Although Xu Huanshan was wrong, was Gu Jia right?
No, actually both of them were wrong.
Xu Huanshan's fault was that he was not strong-willed and could not refuse Lin Youyou's embrace. Gu Jia's fault was that he had too much desire for control and kept pushing Xu Huanshan forward without even taking a breath.
But on the other hand, both people's mistakes are excusable. 'Lin Youyou' is not the first woman with ulterior motives that Xu Huanshan has met. Before that, he had not made any mistakes.
If Gu Jia hadn't pushed too hard, Green Tea Lin Youyou might not have had a chance.
Gu Jia forced Xu Huanshan to keep climbing up. The starting point was for the family and the children.
The problems in their marriage are ultimately due to their personalities.
Even though Li Jie reminded Gu Jia of the existence of "Lin Youyou", Gu Jia took the initiative and eliminated the crisis invisible.
However, as long as the fundamental problem is not solved, there will be Zhang Youyou and Huang Youyou if there is no Lin Youyou.
If you want to solve this problem once and for all, Gu Jia must wake up on his own, but Gu Jia looks very gentle and approachable on the surface, but he is very 'proud' in his heart.
Whether you are a smart person or a stupid person, it is actually the same. You will only know that you are wrong when you suffer a loss.
In psychology, this phenomenon is called ‘cognitive dissonance’.
The word 'cognitive dissonance' first appeared in 1956. In fact, as early as two thousand years ago, our ancestors told us this truth. The Tao Te Ching once wrote that 'what you see is unclear, and what is true is not clear.'
There are different approaches but the same effect.
(‘Those who see themselves are not clear, and those who are self-righteous are not clear’ comes from Chapter 24 of the Tao Te Ching. The literal translation means that people who only see themselves cannot distinguish things clearly, and people who are self-righteous cannot distinguish between right and wrong.)
