Chapter 218 Facing it Together

The days passed in a busy and hopeful way. Ruan Jianan gradually gained a foothold in the new department, but Lin Yanan's life was not all smooth sailing. The child encountered some interpersonal problems at school and became a little withdrawn; the elderly at home also had health problems and needed more care. The couple faced ups and downs in life.

One weekend afternoon, the sun shines through the window onto the living room floor. Ruan Jianan sits on the sofa, flipping through a work-related book, while Lin Yanan is busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. At this time, the child walks out of the room, sits quietly in the corner, lowers his head and does not speak.

Ruan Jianan noticed that the child was acting strange, put down the book in his hand, walked over to sit next to the child. "Baby, what's wrong? You don't look happy." He asked softly.

The child bit his lip and hesitated for a while before whispering, "Dad, no one wants to play with me at school. They all laugh at me." After saying that, his eyes filled with tears.

Ruan Jianan hugged the child distressedly and said, "Don't be sad, child. Dad and mom will find a way for you."

At this time, Lin Yanan came out of the kitchen and heard the conversation between the father and son. She showed a worried look on her face and sat down next to them. "Baby, can you tell me what happened?"

The child sobbed and said, "I wanted to play games with my classmates at school, but they said I was not good at it and were unwilling to take me with them."

Lin Yanan gently stroked the child's head and said, "Baby, maybe they don't understand how great you are yet. Let's think about how to let your classmates see your strengths."

Ruan Jianan felt sorry for Lin Yanan's hard work, and took the initiative to take care of the children and the elderly after work. Every morning, he would get up early, prepare breakfast for the child, send him to school, and then go to work. After get off work, he would rush home as soon as possible to help with housework and help the child with homework.

Lin Yanan also understood Ruan Jianan's pressure at work and always gave him warm comfort and encouragement when he was tired. One night, Ruan Jianan worked overtime until late at night before returning home. Lin Yanan had been waiting for him and prepared a hot meal for him.

"Jian'an, you've worked hard. Eat something quickly." Lin Yanan said gently.

Ruan Jianan sat at the dining table and sighed, "I encountered some difficult problems at work today. I feel a little tired."

Lin Yanan held his hand and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I believe you can handle it."

In order to solve their children's problems, they communicate with them and participate in parent-child activities. On weekends, they take their children to the park to fly kites and let them relax in nature. They also encourage their children to join interest groups at school to develop their specialties and increase their self-confidence.

At the parent-teacher conference at school, Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan took the initiative to communicate with the teacher to understand their children's performance in school. The teacher suggested that they encourage their children to take the initiative to communicate with classmates and share their thoughts and feelings.

After returning home, they followed the teacher's advice and guided their child to take the initiative to greet classmates and invite them to their home. Gradually, the child made a few good friends at school and his personality became more cheerful.

However, just as the child's condition was gradually improving, the elderly in the family suddenly fainted at home and was rushed to the hospital.

When Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan arrived at the hospital, the old man had already been taken to the ward. The doctor told them that the old man's condition was serious and he needed to be hospitalized for a period of time.

"What should we do? We have to take turns taking care of the elderly and the children, and we can't delay work." Lin Yanan was a little anxious.

Ruan Jianan comforted her: "Don't panic, we will find a solution together. I can ask for leave from the company to take care of the elderly for a few days. You should take care of the family and the children first."

During the old man's hospitalization, they took turns to accompany him by his bedside and take care of his diet and daily life. Ruan Jianan fed him and wiped his body, while Lin Yanan washed his clothes and chatted with him to relieve his boredom.

"Dad, please get well soon. We are all waiting for you to come home." Ruan Jianan said, holding the old man's hand.

The old man smiled weakly, "With you all here, I will definitely get better."

After a period of treatment, the old man's condition finally improved and he was able to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period," the old man said with emotion.

Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan smiled at each other, "Dad, as long as you are healthy, it's worth it for us to work so hard."

The pressure of life did not crush them, but instead brought them together more closely to protect this home together.

In the process of facing difficulties, they also had quarrels and conflicts. Once, because of the issue of children's education, Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan disagreed and had a fierce quarrel.

"How can he be good in the future if you spoil him like this?" Ruan Jianan said angrily.

"The child is still young, you have to be patient." Lin Yanan was not to be outdone.

After the quarrel, both of them calmed down. Ruan Jianan took the initiative to apologize to Lin Yanan, "Yanan, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now."

Lin Yanan also realized that her attitude was not good. "I am also wrong. We are all for the good of the children. We should have a good discussion."

After this quarrel, they understood more the importance of mutual understanding and tolerance.

As time went by, the family situation gradually improved. The child's performance in school was getting better and better, and the old man's health was slowly recovering. Ruan Jianan achieved new results at work, and Lin Yanan also made a breakthrough in his career.

"After going through so much, our family has become stronger," Lin Yanan said with emotion.

Ruan Jianan nodded, "Yes, as long as we are together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
