love like wind

After hearing these words, Yang Zhenhua stood up straight and said solemnly: "Jiayou, your parents know what you think, and we will consider it carefully. In any case, we still have to respect the decision of Xu Li and his aunt. .” He gently wiped his son’s tears, “Because we also need to respect each other’s true wishes, what do you think?”

Yang Jiayou nodded, subconsciously looked at Xu Li, and found that he was standing straight and not looking at him.He guessed that Xu Li probably didn't want to go back either, but at this moment, he was probably embarrassed to say what he really thought.

The adults were about to leave, Yang Jiayou asked, "Does he still want to go back?"

Yang Zhenhua said: "We came up to get the keys of Xu's family. There are still some important documents at home, so that we can reissue the bank card later. My aunt will assist in the relevant procedures as a guardian."

It turned out that Yang Jiayou didn't come up to get the schoolbag, and Yang Jiayou felt a little disappointed.

Seeing his son's sad face, Yang Zhenhua suggested, "Xu Li, go get the key yourself, we'll wait for you here."

Xu Li nodded, his back looked very thin. Seeing him coming, Yang Jiayu first smiled, then pursed his lips and shed tears, and tightened his grip on his schoolbag.

Xu Li said softly: "The key is in the right pocket of the schoolbag, can you take it out for me?"

Yang Jiayu thought for a while, and took out the key cooperatively, holding it tightly in the palm of his hand.

Xu Li said: "My aunt and I went to the original residence to take a look. The schoolbag is still here."

Yang Jiayu's eyes lit up, meaning that Xu Li will come back?She looked at her father, hoping to get an affirmative answer, but her father just smiled helplessly, as if things were not as bad as imagined.

Seeing that the adults didn't snatch Xu Li's schoolbag, Yang Jiayu relaxed a little, slowly let go of his palms, and said softly, "Here's the key, you have to remember that the schoolbag is still here."

Xu Li had a sore nose, "Yes, I see."

Xu Ying walked towards Yang Jiayu with a very gentle tone: "Can you put Xu Li's schoolbag back where it was?"

Yang Jiayu nodded, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The scene was not as scary as imagined. Yang Jiayou grabbed his father's hand and watched Xu Li and his aunt leave with a bit of reluctance in his eyes.

It wasn't until the door was gently closed that Yang Zhenhua explained to his son: "Tomorrow is the weekend, and my father will accompany them to do some business. I will reissue Uncle Xu's bank card, and that card will remain in Xu Li's hand. Of course, If you and Jiayu insist, Xu Li has no objection, and wants him to live with us, Mom and Dad are not as rigid as imagined."

Yang Jiayou nodded sullenly, faintly feeling that his persistence seemed to have worked.

But when Xu Li left, he didn't have any extra emotions. Will he come back?Yang Jiayou's heart was very heavy.Even though Xu Li was always the one who talked the least when the three of them were having fun together, both Yang Jiayou and Yang Jiayu felt very uncomfortable without someone like him.

After washing at night, Yang Jiayou lay down on the bed, praying silently, hoping to see Xu Li when he opened his eyes tomorrow, so that Yang Jiayu would cry and have one more person to help coax him, so that his mother wouldn't blame him for everything .

This weekend, the Yang family seemed a little deserted, neither brother nor sister wanted to go out to play, and they couldn't wait for such an opportunity to go out like usual.When Yang Zhenhua arrived home around nine o'clock on Sunday night, there was another person beside him, Xu Li.

Yang Jiayou watched it lying on the handrail of the stairs, happy and sad at the same time, and refused to go downstairs with some embarrassment.Yang Jiayu was naive, asking Xu Li everything, and seeing his father help Xu Li carry a suitcase, he vaguely guessed that her and her brother's wishes seemed to have been fulfilled.

Xu Ying came over with a fruit platter, "Jiayou, come down to eat some fruit, there is your favorite navel orange."

Yang Jiayou lay on the railing and said in a low voice, "I don't want to eat." He stood still, as if he was listening to his parents.

Yang Zhenhua said succinctly: "Xu Mingju is still in custody. She herself agreed to let Xu Li live in our house. This can also relieve her pressure a little. She will bear the responsibility and is afraid that we will take any risks in the future."

Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, poked a piece of orange with a toothpick, handed it to Xu Li, and asked her husband, "Are those procedures easy?"

Yang Zhenhua nodded, "It is precisely because the guardian has not changed that things went smoothly. Considering that Xu Li is underage, Mingda's bank card is bound to my mobile phone number, and most of the balance is used for time deposits. It's also set up, if there are other accidents, let's put the money first, so that the children will not be caught off guard."

"Money is a trivial matter, and the safety of the child is the most important thing." Xu Ying took out a tissue and gently wiped the corner of Yang Jiayu's mouth: "The two of them insist on saying that, and we parents have no reason to stop it."

Xu Li sat aside and listened silently. Although they had lived in that house for many years, he was still a little scared to live alone after his grandma passed away. Uncle Yang asked him patiently if he would like to live with them, and Xu Li nodded in agreement. up.

"But there is only one guest room left in the house. The storage room is too dirty. Xu Li must be wronged. After the new year, uncles and aunts will find a way to clean up the house." Xu Ying looked at him calmly, with soft eyes.

Xu Li said: "That room is pretty good, don't worry too much."

Yang Jiayou upstairs spoke, "If you think the guest room is not good, you can share a room with me."

Yang Zhenhua couldn't help laughing, "Hey, who was so territorial before that he wasn't allowed to touch anything of yours?"

Yang Jiayou said angrily: "The past is the past, and the present is the present."

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, even Yang Jiayu let out a giggle.

The fruit platter was almost finished, Xu Ying raised her head and looked at her son: "Are you really not going to eat it?" Before she could finish speaking, Yang Jiayou had already rushed into her room.

The adults chatted for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Xu Ying urged the children to wash up, and when the living room was quiet, Xu Ying asked, "Where did Xu Li go to school before? It seems a bit far from home."

Yang Zhenhua said: "In a public school, the faculty is not bad, but there may be some other opportunities that are lacking."

Xu Ying suggested: "Now that we have made a decision, we still need to make a long-term plan so that Xu Li can receive a good education as much as possible. No matter what, it is only five years. For us, these five years are not a big deal, but for a person who is living For the boy at the fork in the road, these five years are very critical. Since Mingda is your friend, you should take care of his child more."

Yang Zhenhua nodded in agreement, "However, the matter of transferring to another school will be postponed for the time being. Xu Li's current class, teachers and classmates are very good. Teacher Qin cried several times because of Xu Li's family affairs, and even tried to help him reduce his tuition fees. , I said no, Mingda left a sum of money for Xu Li, let alone us?"

"What a good teacher." Xu Ying couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, transferring to another school rashly now will not help Xu Li's physical and mental recovery, and secondly, it will also hurt the feelings of the teacher and classmates. It is right to take it easy. Children will feel more comfortable in the environment.”

"Yes, let's talk about it after the new year. Anyway, it's only the first year of junior high school, and there are still a few years left for junior high school." Yang Zhenhua said.

Talking about the children's education, Xu Ying thought of her daughter Yang Jiayu again, and couldn't hide her worry, "I don't know what this child Jiayu will do in the future, and I don't expect her to be famous, I just hope she is safe and happy." gone."

Yang Zhenhua held his wife's hand, "It will get better, our family will work together."

Saying so, Xu Ying felt hope.

Since the living environment is stable, Xu Li no longer asks Uncle Yang to send him to school. He will get up early every day to go to the bus station and take the bus to school.The teachers and classmates in the school are still the same as before, and they are very friendly to me.

No one over-magnifies the affairs of his family, it is very peaceful and warm.

Xu Li's grades in the public school were good, and he was ranked among the top ten in his class. Some time ago, due to an accident at home, his grades declined. Fortunately, after entering December, his grades gradually improved.

Teacher Qin saw everything in his eyes and was very happy for Xu Li.

On New Year's Eve, the Yang family was very lively. Uncle Yang and the others cooked hot pot, and the TV was chirping. The atmosphere was very lively.With the acquaintance of the past few months, Xu Li is more relaxed than before, he loves to laugh a little more than before, although he doesn't talk much, at least he is very relaxed.

It's strange to say that with Xu Li at home, the children's quarrels are indeed less than before, and Xu Ying feels very happy to see it.Although Yang Jiayu is still hanging on the car, he is more serious about his homework than before.

Because Xu Ying often said: "Look, Brother Xu Li is still working so hard, why don't we work hard?"

Yang Jiayu bit the cap of the automatic pencil, nodded, and continued to do her homework.

Not to mention Yang Jiayou, without his mother nagging in his ear all the time, and his sister not crying, he is much more at ease than before. It is time to play football, study and study, and sometimes new games come out. He will play with Xu Li.

But Xu Li's mind is not on the game, he seems to be more interested in learning.

During the winter vacation, Xu Ying cleaned up the sundries at home. Although the storage room was spacious, there were too many things piled up, ranging from stacks of books, Yang Zhenhua's toolbox, an idle clothes rack, and an old piano.

Xu Ying has always advocated that 'labor is the most honorable', and encouraged the children to participate together while they are on vacation.

The four were busy working in the storage room. Xu Li saw a gray cloth covering something, and was a little curious: "Aunt Xu, can I have a look?"

Xu Ying was cleaning the glass window, "It's all sundries, just look around."

Xu Li lifted the gray cloth and found that there was an upright piano placed here. The appearance of the piano was relatively old, and the white keys were faintly yellowed.

Xu Ying explained: "It was eliminated from the middle school taught by Grandma Jiayu. It has been around for a long time. After the school was expanded, a lot of equipment was updated. This piano is very old. No one wanted it, so my mother moved back."

Xu Li said: "It's a pity to throw it away, we should keep it." As he spoke, he gently raised his wrist, and tried to play "Dream Wedding" according to his childhood memory. As soon as the prelude came out, the air seemed to freeze up.

The piano has been old for a long time, and many notes have been out of tune. Yang Jiayu was leaning in front of the locker to look through old books. When she turned her head, the light from the window shone on Xu Li. She saw that thin boy with nimble fingertips and musical notes like silk. Leaning in the air.

Her eyes were focused on his fingers, she didn't expect that the old piano could still make a sound.

The 11-year-old Yang Jiayu still doesn't know that the curiosity aroused at this moment changed her life.
