Continuously

The drama of the long-awaited reunion is roughly similar.Yao An came back pushing the repaired bicycle - Yan Muchun repaired it for him, after all, he was a capable person, Yao An had nothing to repay, and helped Yan Huai'en's house fetch water all day.

The inside of the house is different from the quietness in the past, the swing is empty, the kitchen is steaming, but no one is there, they all gather in the small hall, Yao An listens to each step with each step.

"When you left the child and left, we didn't stop him. After all these years, he has grown up. Even if we wanted to, he might not think about it."

"Mom, he is a child, what can he think about, new house and new toys in the city, how can he not like it."

"Yes, you are promising, live in a big villa, we are just a small broken place in the countryside."

"Mom, I didn't mean that..."

"Okay, your mother knows it all, it's just that she's good at speaking." Grandpa Yao said plainly, "It's not that I don't want to part with my grandson."

"It's not that we won't come back." Yao Xinping comforted, "It's just that he's going to study outside sooner or later..."

The conversation was interrupted by the creaking of a wooden door.

Yao An straightened up, regained his eavesdropping posture, and forced a smile at everyone.

Careless.

Beside the table, Yao Xinping and Yu Wan were sitting opposite each other, as if they were separating the Chu River and the Han Dynasty. At this time, the four pairs of eyes were looking at Yao An, which made him feel a little sad.

"Dad..." Yao An paused, and finally called out, "Auntie."

Yao Xinping responded, quite satisfied with the title, and didn't make trouble with him, so Yu Wan nodded to him tenderly.

Yao An couldn't bear the tenderness of such a woman, so he lowered his head and moved behind his grandparents.

"Dad is discussing things with grandparents, you go out to play." Yao Xinping said.

Yao An frowned, he never liked Yao Xinping's non-discussive tone, just like before.

He opened his mouth, but before the rebellious words came out, Grandpa Yao said, "Keep it, and listen to the child's opinion."

Yao Xinping was obviously taken aback, maybe he was used to giving orders outside and never listened to other people's opinions, let alone that person was his son.

But Grandpa Yao had already pulled Yao An to sit beside him, his expression was the same as Grandma Yao's, it seemed that he really wanted to give him democracy.

Although Yao An was sitting, he was still precariously uneasy, not because he was afraid of Yao Xinping, but...he was afraid of choices.

"Your aunt and I want to take you and your brother to live in the city, okay?" Although Yao Xinping asked him, it was more like a statement.

Yao An replied subconsciously: "But I'm about to start school."

"The school over there has been found." Yao Xinping said, "You are in the sixth grade."

It's hard for you to remember.Yao An secretly answered.

"Are you speaking in a negotiating tone?" Grandma Yao dissatisfied, she turned to Yao An, "What do you think?"

"I……"

"Dad, Mom." Yao Xinping interrupted Yao An, a little anxious, "Even if he doesn't go now, I will definitely take him out in the future. There is no middle school here, and the junior high school in the town is far away. It's better to let him get used to the outside world earlier. Life."

The atmosphere in the hall was tense for a moment.

Yao An remembered that the last time such a scene happened was when Yao Xinping told his grandparents that he was going to remarry, so he brought Yu Wan and Yao Jianqi along, but this time, he wanted to take Yao Jianqi and himself away.

Yao Jianqi.

The name was like a word, knocking on his forehead.

Yao An looked around, the other protagonist of the incident was absent from the beginning to the end.

"I, I'll go find him first." Yao An hurriedly finished, pushed away the chair, and stepped out the door with one foot.

"Yao An." Yao Xinping called to him, refusing to comment, "We're leaving tomorrow."

Yao An didn't look back.

"If you still want to make up your own mind, do it now."

Yao An found Yao Jianqi in the back mountain.

It is said to be the back mountain, but it is actually just a larger hill. The seeds picked up by birds from other places take root and germinate here. 12 years is not enough for a boy to mature and strong, but it is enough for a tree to grow strong.

Yao Jianqi was squatting under a fir tree, surrounded by a bird, with an indigo pattern on its back, like silk.

It is not afraid of people, knowing that no one here can hurt it, and no one can hurt it, so it will dance with will.

The little bird jumped to Yao Jianqi's feet and pecked at the top of his shoe.

Yao Jianqi's eyes moved, he stretched out his hand, and a second before touching the living being, it backed away.

Yao Jianqi stood up, and the sparrow flew away. He turned around, and just wiped a piece of soft cotton silk on his nose.

"What did I think you were looking at?" Yao An's voice came from above his head.

Yao Jianqi was seldom frightened, but this man really didn't move at all, as if descending from a treetop, he took a step back, raised his chin, his eyes filled with surprise.

Not disgusted.

"Your mother is here."

"Ah."

"You're going back."

"Ah."

"Do you want to go back?"

Yao Jianqi looked at him, his amber eyes were like the heart of a lake hanging upside down.

"Tch, why am I asking such a stupid question," Yao An wiped his nose, "Of course you think, the power goes out every now and then, and there are no toys, and you have to run so far to eat ice cream..."

He counted all the bad things about Anding Village in detail, like stating a bad statement, Yao Jianqi just listened from the beginning to the end, neither denying nor signing.

Yao An was thirsty, so he stopped, his upper and lower lips moved back and forth, and his dry lips were wet with saliva.

He squatted down, propped his knees, and was at eye level with Yao Jianqi, as if he was planning something.

"Little brat." Yao An paused for a while before saying, "I want to say goodbye to you."
