Injustice

Yan Tao stopped opening the door immediately.

He turned around and looked at Yan Yan, her eyes were pure and clear.

Yan Tao squatted down, reached out and grabbed Yan Yan's shoulder, and asked, "Who? How do you know?"

Yan Yan was a little at a loss for Yan Tao's reaction, and said in a daze: "Last time when I was waiting for you at Uncle Liang's house, I saw Uncle Liang video with him, and Uncle Liang smiled so happily. But I asked Uncle Liang When that uncle was the one he liked, his face suddenly became unhappy, but he still nodded."

Yan Tao froze in place, his eyes suddenly glazed over.Yan Yan asked worriedly: "Father... are you okay?"

Yan Tao came back to his senses, put down his hand, and patted Yan Yan's head, "It's okay, go in, it's time to sleep." Seeing Yan Tao's face suddenly appearing confused, Yan Yan turned her head three times worriedly, It wasn't until Yan Tao came back to his senses and urged her that Yan Yan hurried back to the room.

Opening the refrigerator, Yan Tao looked at the empty refrigerator, muttering in his mouth that he should go to buy some food, what should he give his little ancestor to eat tomorrow morning...Eat...

Damn it!Yan Tao closed the refrigerator door angrily, and put his head against the door.

There was a long silence.The clock in the living room is ticking, the goldfish in the fish tank swim carefree,

Yan Tao turned his face to the side, watching the goldfish wagging its tail.Suddenly sighed weakly, walked lightly to the sofa, and lay down on his side.

In fact, he should have known.For an outstanding person like Liang Jing, the girls around him hadn't attacked him for a long time, he had already guessed it.But Liang Jing didn't say anything, so he didn't ask or think about it.It's just that he didn't expect that Liang Jing already had a boy he liked...and it was such a sunny and cheerful Zhou Chen...not to mention, the two of them were still young, so Liang Jing liked him, didn't he? Is it a matter of course...

wrong!What does this have to do with him?Yan Tao turned over with a little force, facing a blank wall.What he should be thinking about is his own future.For example, Yan Yan's education, his future wife and so on.What does it have to do with Liang Jing not getting what he wants, being sad and getting hurt?They are just ordinary friends, the kind of relationship that seems a bit out of bounds if you care too much...

Yan Tao looked at the whiteness in front of him, and unconsciously traced his fingers on the wall.It's just... I didn't expect that Liang Jing, such a good person, would have to endure unbearable sorrow... Liang Jing, he is really pretty good.When he buys vegetables, he also thinks about their father and daughter. Although he doesn't talk much when eating, he will respond to their jokes, help Yan Yan tell stories gently, and silently walk around him to pick them up. Some work, so that he can relax.

In the past few weeks, the cold snap hit, which can be called the coldest period in this small southern city.Yan Yan clamored to eat hot pot, but Yan Tao, who couldn't help her little ancestor, went out to buy ingredients wrapped in a big scarf against the cold wind.Unexpectedly, as soon as he got out of the elevator, he ran into Liang Jing who was coming back from get off work.

Liang Jing grabbed his arm and asked, "Where are you going? Don't you want to eat?"

Yan Tao pulled down the scarf a little, trying to show his mouth, and replied: "Yanyan said that she wants to eat hot pot. I'll go to the neighborhood supermarket to buy some ingredients. You should go back first. If you're hungry, there will be some snacks on the table."

Liang Jing frowned immediately when he heard this, and wrapped Yan Tao's scarf tighter, took out a pair of gray woolen gloves from his pocket, grabbed Yan Tao's hands, and lowered his head to put on the gloves one by one. go up.

Yan Tao's face immediately flushed red, he is a 30-year-old man, except for his mother who put on gloves for him in winter when he was a child, no one else has allowed him to enjoy this treatment.

Yan Tao couldn't help being a little embarrassed, hesitantly wanted to return the gloves to Liang Jing, and said falteringly: "I, I'm fine, you can wear them, it's cold today."

Seeing that he still wanted to take it off, Liang Jing stuffed his hand into his pocket, then stretched out his hand to press the elevator, pushed Yan Tao in, and said, "Don't go when it's so cold, you just have a cold. Also, You need to wear gloves when you go out, it’s so cold. I’ll go buy them, you and your children will wait for me at home.”

The elevator door closed slowly, and before Yan Tao could utter his objection, Liang Jing left in a hurry, leaving behind a figure in a coat.

Yan Tao went back upstairs, poured the prepared thick soup into the pot, plugged in the electricity, the soup in the hot pot was bubbling, and small bubbles rushed out one by one.Yan Yan sat on her small chair, playing with the pink porcelain bowl that Liang Jing brought last time and belonged to her.Yan Tao

Holding his head up, he watched the mist rise from the hot pot.In the midst of the haze, he looked at the door without distraction.

Suddenly there were some noises outside the door, Yan Tao immediately put on his cotton-wool slippers, kicked and ran to open the door.

Outside the door, Liang Jing's nose was flushed by the wind, but his cheeks were faintly steaming, presumably he left too hastily just now.Liang Jing, who was carrying two big bags of things, did not hand them over to Yan Tao, but turned sideways, took off his shoes, and put the ingredients in the kitchen, while Yan Tao respectfully followed behind him.

It wasn't until Liang Jing rolled up his sleeves and opened the shopping bag with a serious face that Yan Tao hurriedly pushed the uncle out of the kitchen and cleaned it up by himself.

Accompanied by Yan Yan's incessant inquiries, the hot pot meal that had experienced the cold snap finally started.Unlike the previous meals, the hot pot is obviously much more self-service.Yan Tao lowered his head to eat for a while, then looked up, his favorite cheese balls were gone in the pot!Yan Tao looked sadly at Liang Jing who was giving Yan Yansheng meatballs.

Liang Jing immediately sensed Yan Tao's gaze, smiled, turned the ball that was supposed to be given to the children, and put one in Yan Tao's bowl.Yan Tao immediately smirked twice, and began to eat happily.

Yan Yan looked at the ball she had lost, and shouted unfairly: "Father! You ask for foreign aid! It's not fair!"

Yan Tao was a little cautious at first, and always felt that he was a little naive, so he decided to ignore the provocation of his little opponent and continue to take pills quietly.

Liang Jing was a little curious and asked, "What foreign aid?"

Yan Yan took a bite of the meatball and said inarticulately: "Well... last time Dad said that you should eat delicious food by yourself, otherwise you won't be able to eat it if you don't have it. He ate a lot more than me last time! "

When Yan Tao heard this, he felt that the cheese ball in his hand was as heavy as a shot put. He seemed to have lost his father's dignity in an instant, and he paused in embarrassment, waiting for Liang Jing's light smile.

Unexpectedly, there was another steaming meatball in his bowl.He raised his head, but Liang Jing didn't look at him, but turned to Yan Yan and said: "Father is right, Yanyan will have to work hard in the future so that someone will help you pinch the meatballs."

Yan Tao was both shocked and ashamed.Oh my god, it's all my own fault that Liang Jing would say such nonsense!Hey hey hey!

Liang Jing, on the other hand, looked at Yan Tao who was eating the ball with his head down, thinking that the little hedgehog eating the ball was like a hedgehog buried in the contract, with an inexplicable seriousness, a little cute...

The three of them sat around the table, the hot pot continued to emit heat, and the warm yellow light above the head shone on the bubbling little bubbles, making this ordinary dinner seem to have been treated with the most expensive filter, beautiful and warm.

Yan Tao's father passed away very early, and Yan's mother raised two children by herself without relying on others.Under such a great pressure, Yan's mother still has a good temper, and Yan Tao is exactly the same as her.Yan Ci is like her father, she is always stubborn and made many mistakes during her adolescence.Every time she made a mistake, Yan's mother didn't wantonly beat or scolded her.He just took Yan Ci home silently, bought some cheap ingredients, and prepared a simple soup base. The three of them sat around the table and ate enthusiastically.At the beginning, Yan Ci always refused to admit her mistakes, and stubbornly turned her head away.Yan's mother and Yan Tao would keep adding vegetables to her bowl, and Yan Ci would be subdued almost every time, and there was even such an embarrassing incident in adolescence that shed tears while eating.

After growing up, Yan's mother remarried to a foreigner who loved her.The two brothers and sisters were both reluctant and unwilling to prevent their mother from obtaining happiness, so they chose the attitude of blessing and sent Yan's mother abroad.After Yan's mother left, Yan Ci made an appointment to have a hot pot together from time to time. Yan Tao knew what she was feeling in her heart, so she would satisfy Yan Ci no matter what.Like Yan’s mother said, eating hot pot always seems to have a faint sense of ritual.It's too boring to eat alone, it's just right for two people, and it's lively with three, four, or five people.Only people with a good enough relationship like to sit around like this, chatting jokes and talking about life in the heat.

Yan Tao looked at Liang Jing and Yan Yan who were sitting beside the hot pot, and thought to himself, he seemed to understand Yan Ci's complex better.
