Bamboo Horse Office

Yu An went back in a hurry this time, and even forgot to say hello to his parents. Mother Yu had some things to deal with in the hospital the next day, and when she got home from get off work, she was shocked when she saw her son suddenly appearing.

"An An, why are you back?" Mama Yu put the work materials on the table without even having time to change her clothes. She sat next to Yu An and touched his head, asking worriedly, "Did you quarrel with Xiao Jiang?" ?”

"No...we're fine, we didn't quarrel..." Yu An replied sullenly, looking at his mother's benevolent smile, he wanted to ask a lot, but his throat seemed to be choked and he couldn't say anything.

Mother Yu knew her son so well, she didn't tell the truth when she saw him, but she couldn't take care of everything since the child had grown up, so she asked, "Is that a matter of work?"

Yu An didn't know how to answer, he lowered his head and twisted his fingers, looking sullen.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much. Mom will cook something delicious for you at night. After eating, sleep well, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Mother Yu gave him a warm hug, rubbed his head and signaled him to go play by himself first, and then went out.

The furnishings in the living room have not changed for more than ten years, but looking at it now, it suddenly feels a little strange.Yu An knew that this was his own fault. From the incident until now, he still couldn't adjust his mentality.

He and Jiang Nian had promised to go back, but the thought of escaping still appeared from time to time.

If you just stay at home and don't care about those things, then the parents will still be the original parents, and he will still be their child. Just like the previous twenty years, the family of three lived happily.

Yu An felt a dull pain in his head, headache and heartache.He returned to the room and threw himself on the bed, closing his eyes in pain.

Scenes from my childhood kept popping up in my mind.

In fact, when he first went to school, it wasn’t that his family didn’t walk around with his relatives. During Chinese New Year that year, all relatives of his father’s family got together. Go play by yourself.

The topics that children can talk about are all about toys, Yu An hugged his favorite Iron Man, and the other children stared at him.

Among the relatives, Yu An's family had the best conditions. At that time, Yu's father could say that he doted on him, and would buy him the latest toys every quarter.In addition, for example, the son is very good today and wants to buy toys for him; the son has done his homework today and wants to buy toys for him; although the son didn’t do anything today, his father is very happy and wants to buy toys for him.

Mother Yu prefers to buy clothes for him. One day overalls, the next day a gentleman. Every day is like playing a game of dress-up. Anyway, my son is cute, so he can wear whatever he looks good.

Yu An had so many toys and clothes that the room couldn't fit them in. At that time, the family specially packed a room for him to store these.And the Iron Man in his hand was a new model that just came out years ago, and Father Yu bought it for his son right away.

Other children also wanted to play, Yu An was not stingy, and lent them his favorite Iron Man.

After midnight, when the family of three was about to leave, Yu's mother asked him to pack up his things, so Yu An ran to the children and wanted to return the toys, but they didn't want to return them to him.

Yu An wanted it, but he didn't give it to him, and then the two sides quarreled. The other party was accidentally pushed by Yu An, and immediately lost his temper, crying, and ruthlessly threw his Iron Man to the ground, and the good toy fell instantly Yu An was stunned for a moment and then burst into tears.

Later, the parents of both parties came to resolve the matter. Yu An hugged his mother and cried heartbreakingly, and he didn't quite remember what they said.I only have a vague impression that my parents, who have always been very good-tempered, were furious, as if the other party said something like "a wild child picked up".

The toy was broken, but his father bought him a new one after returning home, and even bought some other new ones casually, so Yu An also forgot about it.But thinking about it now, it seems that since that year, the contact between their family and relatives has become less, and the family of three spent the Chinese New Year on their own, until their parents moved here due to work, almost I just cut off contact, and only made a symbolic call to say hello during the New Year's Eve.

Thinking of this, Yu An lowered his head and buried himself in the quilt, crying until his brain ached.

He still remembers that when he was choosing a direction in high school, his parents asked him if he wanted to do what he liked. Yu An liked painting since he was a child, but his academic performance was also very good. At that time, he hesitated for a while, and finally decided to focus on studying. , Just treat painting as your hobby.

Firstly, studying art was expensive, and their family could afford it, but Yu An still didn't want to burden his parents.Secondly, if you really want to study art, you will have to make it your main career in the future. Yu An feels that he still likes to be more comfortable. A hobby is a hobby. If it becomes a job, there is no guarantee that his mentality will change.

For things like this about himself, it seems that since he was a child, his parents will listen to his opinions carefully. Even if he sometimes doesn't understand what the choice means, his parents will explain the pros and cons to him clearly, and then help him carefully analyze it. , guide him and help him choose what he wants.

After going to college, his roommates even complained that he was just a flower in a greenhouse when they knew about him, and he had not suffered any beatings from life.But Yu An didn't hate this statement, so what about the flowers in the greenhouse, having parents who love him so much has always been the thing he is most proud of.

And now, this happy life is about to be broken.

At dinner time, Father Yu also returned home.Originally, he was going on a business trip to attend an academic seminar, but when he received a call from his wife and knew that his son had come back today, he realized that something was on his mind, so he immediately postponed the work.

Seeing this scene, Yu An felt even more uncomfortable.

He really couldn't bear it, not at all.

He cried for a long time in the afternoon, and now his eyes are swollen, and he sat there with his head drooping. Father Yu put a lotus root clip in his bowl and asked, "Dad has time tomorrow, do you want to take you?" Go to the zoo?"

Yu An: "..."

Oh yes, when he was a child, whenever he was in a bad mood, his parents would take him to the zoo, carry his beloved little drawing board, find a shady place, and draw for a whole day.

Until so many years passed, his father's method of coaxing him was only this trick.

"No, I'm too old to go to the zoo..."

"That's right." Yu's father began to reflect, "Why don't dad buy you toys? Men, when you were young, you played with toy cars. When you grow up, you have to play with real cars. If you like something, dad will buy it for you."

"Dad, you really treat me like a child."

"Aren't you a child, don't say you are still a child in your early twenties, in the eyes of your parents, you are seventy or eighty, and that is also a child."

Yu An's eyes turned red again.

"Don't talk about this, let's eat." Yu's mother was sitting next to him, and she felt uncomfortable seeing her son's appearance, "An An, you have grown up, and it stands to reason that parents should not interfere with your life too much. But, no matter what happens outside, home is home, even if you have your own family in the future, your parents will always have a place for you."

"Hmm..." Yu An raised his hand to touch his tears.

He couldn't procrastinate any longer. There were some things that he didn't understand, and he still felt a lump in his heart.Besides, his behavior will only worry his parents.

Even if things really got to the worst point, the memories of the past twenty years are not fake. In any case, these are his parents, and they will never change.

After dinner, Yu An came to the living room with his parents, "Dad, Mom, I... I remember when I was young, my toys were robbed during Chinese New Year. That day... they said I was a wild child, that I was hugged back..."

"Who is talking nonsense to you again?!" Father Yu was furious after hearing this. His family's relatives were all in City C, and his first reaction was who did Yu An meet there again, and then that person would be like a baby with him. The son said something he shouldn't have said.

"Tell me who you met, I..." Father Yu acted as if someone was talking nonsense to you, and I was about to call and scold him right now, but seeing Yu An take out a yellowed photo, those who didn't Before he had time to finish his words, they immediately stuck in his throat.

Yu An took this photo back, and when the photo was put on the table, not only Yu's father was silent, but Yu's mother also seemed hesitant to speak.

Yu An could see the reaction of his parents, this way... probably what he guessed before was true.

"An'an, who gave you this photo?" After a long time, Mother Yu asked.

"A man named Colin Brown, he also mentioned the orphanage back then."

The word "welfare home" sounded like a thunderclap. Father Yu leaned his head slightly on the back of the sofa, unable to speak for a long time.

"As expected, what should come can't be avoided..." Mama Yu's reaction was calmer. She reached out to pick up the photo and looked at it carefully.

In the photo, she was less than 30 years old. That year... Although it has been so long, the memory of that year is very clear.

"An'an, you guessed right, you were indeed adopted by me and your father..."

Yu An took a deep breath. Even though he had been mentally prepared, he still subconsciously resisted the answer.

Father Yu sighed heavily, "I don't know what that Colin Brown guy said to you, but since you took the photo back, you must have something else to ask."

He did have a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but his mind was so messed up that he didn't know what to do. He took the photo from his mother, looked left and right, and finally pointed to the man standing in the middle, asking: " who is he?"

Father Yu: "His surname is Wu, and he is the mentor of your mother and me."
