see you in spring

Chapter 48 Family Roles
After hanging up the phone, Jia Lie looked left and right in the mirror, feeling that he couldn't let his eyes swell like this.In order to reduce the swelling, she squatted down and rummaged through the cabinets, thinking of something to apply on her eyes, so she could quickly remove the goldfish eyes before walking out of the toilet.

The cabinet under the sink was full of daily necessities such as various shampoos and body washes that she bought during Double Eleven. Among the pile of things, she saw a stack of dark blue-packaged facial masks.

She picked up a mask that said it could reduce swelling and firm up, and an idea came to her. Yes, she could apply a mask to reduce swelling.

Just do it, Jia Lie applied it in front of the bathroom mirror.

These facial masks were given to her after she bought facial creams more than a year ago. For these facial masks, she gritted her teeth and bought 1000 yuan of facial cream.I originally thought I could apply one piece of it when I got home from get off work in the evening, and it would feel great the next morning.

But who knew that she got off work almost after ten o'clock every day. When she got home, she was so tired that she wanted to lie down in bed immediately. How could she still have time to apply a facial mask?I can only think about applying it tomorrow.

Who knows that tomorrow will come tomorrow, and if there is a delay, the shelf life will almost expire.If she hadn't been swollen from crying today, she wouldn't have been able to remember to use it.

After applying the facial mask, she opened the door and walked back to the living room. Her mood was completely different from the worried one she had just entered.

At this time, Jia Lie felt a sense of happiness that she had never felt before. After all, she could still wear a mask at home.And many people infected with the virus have never been able to get out of this winter.

Jia Lie rummaged again in the living room, but couldn't find the tent where Dongqing took her daughter out to play.

She knocked on Dongqing's door hurriedly: "Holly, are you asleep?"

Dongqing responded in a daze: "No, what's wrong?"

"Where's the blue tent you bought before? You keep the window open in your room, so you can't just sleep like that at night. I'll help you set up the tent in the living room, and you sleep in the living room at night."

Dongqing thought for a while and said in a hoarse voice: "The tent is on the car."

Previously, Jia Lie thought it was taking up space in the utility cabinet in the living room, so he asked him to find a way to put it elsewhere.But this house is so big, where else could it be?In the end, he could only put the tent in the secret compartment of the trunk of the car. Anyway, he had to drive every time he went camping, so this saves him from having to go back and forth to get it.

"What?" Jia Lie had completely forgotten that she wouldn't let Dongqing put the tent at home, and he was furious in an instant. The good idea he had just thought of had failed so quickly.

Now that the whole family can't get out, how can they get a tent?
"Don't get angry. I've moved the bed away from the window and laid out a thick quilt. There's still a little sunshine. You can handle it at night. Don't worry."

"It's useless for me to worry." Jia Lie was furious, and the happiness he had just realized was instantly forgotten.

Xiao Donggua was crying in the room that she was hungry. She didn't care about Dongqing, so she packed up the food and sent it to her child.

"Mom, what's that on your face?"

"Face mask." Jia Lie handed his daughter a pair of chopsticks.

"Mom, won't you eat here with me?" Little Winter Melon asked while holding her rice bowl.

Jia Lie took a grain of rice from her mouth and touched her head lovingly: "Mom, you'll eat later. You can finish your meal, read a book, and then go to bed."

Little Winter Melon pouted: "Reading is so boring. Mom, I don't want to study, I just want to play."

Jia Lie frowned: "You kid, you think about having fun every day. What will you do if you can't go to college or find a job? What will you eat? Are you waiting to starve to death?"

"But dad also went to college, so he still can't find a job?"

Jia Lie was stunned for a moment, unable to refute.

She calmed down and patiently explained to her daughter: "It's not that dad can't find a job, he doesn't go out to work to take care of you and mom. We should all thank dad for his dedication. Without him, we wouldn't be able to do anything." You have to eat three meals on time every day, and there is no one to go out with you to play every day, and your mother cannot devote herself wholeheartedly to her work."

"Then I will be like my father in the future, cook delicious food for my child at home, and just play with him. In this way, I don't have to read books."

Jia Lie didn't expect that her child would have such unmotivated thoughts. She immediately became angry and pulled off the mask on her face: "No! You can't stay at home to take care of your children in the future. I've risked my life to buy you a school district." Fang, I changed the school for you to train you, not so that you can take care of your children at home in the future."

Xiao Donggua looked aggrieved: "But you just said that we should thank dad for his efforts. What's wrong with me wanting to be like dad?"

Jia Lie couldn't explain selfishness in the adult world to her child, so he could only use his status as a parent to suppress her: "How dare you talk back? I won't do it if I say no. You will know when you grow up."

Little Winter Melon pursed her lips and poked at the rice in the bowl: "Dad said you should be reasonable when doing things, but you never reason with me."

Because he is usually busy with work, Jia Lie hardly has time to communicate with his children.Even if we sit at the same table to eat in the morning, the topic is nothing more than urging the children to eat quickly and not to be late.By the time Jia Lie got home at night, the children were already asleep most of the time.Even if she didn't sleep, in order for her child to get enough sleep, all she could say to her child was to urge her to go to bed quickly.

For a long time, this has caused Jia Lie to have a sense of urgency whenever she talks to her children. This urgency, coupled with her quick temper, makes it impossible for Jia Lie to talk slowly to her children. Ju will definitely use the attitude of a parent to suppress it.

Jia Lie looked at the child with red eyes and suddenly realized that she was no longer a two or three-year-old child. She was full of curiosity about the world and already had her own thoughts and perceptions. She was unwilling to accept blunt indoctrination anymore. She needs equal communication and basic respect.

Because of this, she prefers and admires Dongqing who is willing to communicate with her on an equal footing.So she wanted to make the same choice as her dad, and she felt right.

Jia Lie sighed inaudibly, a feeling of guilt welling up in his heart.It's because she didn't reason well with her daughter, didn't listen to what she said, and she didn't even understand her daughter.Why should she ask such a young daughter to understand her in turn?
