Trivial Skin of Rebirth

In the end, when it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, Ye Shiqing still let Xiang Qingyun in.Everyone at the dinner table was very embarrassed. Ye Shiqing might be able to accept it after thinking about it, but he felt uncomfortable seeing Xiang Qingyun sitting next to Ye Jiawen. Dare to raise chopsticks; even Xiang Xiaolong was afraid of seeing so many strangers suddenly, so obediently he dared not speak.So Ye Jiawen, Gu Shangxue, and Aunt Han acted as a lubricant, constantly talking about interesting things to enliven the atmosphere.

Ye Jiawen touched Xiang Xiaolong's ear, pointed at Ye Shiqing and said, "Good boy, call me Grandpa."

Xiang Xiaolong was a little confused, but he was very obedient, Ye Jiawen obediently called him, "Grandpa."

Only then did Ye Shangxue's tense face relax a bit, and he put a piece of gluten-wrapped meat in Xiang Xiaolong's arms, "Hey, eat more." When he turned his face and saw Xiang Qingyun, his face became tense again.

This was probably the most uncomfortable New Year's Eve dinner the family had. Xiang Qingyun didn't move his chopsticks at all. Ye Jiawen looked distressed and didn't dare to add more food to him.

Men are animals on the wine table, Gu Shangxue took a few beers out of the refrigerator, and Xiang Qingyun finally had the courage to toast Ye Shiqing with a glass of wine.Although Ye Shiqing was unhappy, he still gave him some face. Clinking glasses with him was the biggest concession.

Xiang Qingyun smiled innocently: "Uncle Ye."

Ye Shiqing snorted and drank the wine.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone looked at each other and hated each other, Xiang Qingyun didn't dare to stay in the house anymore, it was a great favor to be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner together, he hurriedly took Xiang Xiaolong downstairs to set off fireworks.Ye Jiawen didn't go down, and stayed in the room to watch the Spring Festival Gala with Ye Shiqing.But he didn't like the Spring Festival Gala very much, especially in previous years, so he used the excuse of smoking to go to the balcony from time to time to watch Xiang Qingyun and Xiang Xiaolong who were playing downstairs.

When Ye Jiawen smoked for the third time, Ye Shiqing said angrily with a dark face, "Get out, don't live here tonight, go to your brother's house." After a pause of two seconds, he said, "Your child can Leave."

Ye Jiawen smiled and said, "Dad, do you like my son?"

Ye Shiqing rolled his eyes: "It's okay. But why does he call you Uncle Ye? Isn't it your son? It's time to call him Dad!"

Ye Jiawen's expression darkened in an instant: "Well... our family's situation is quite special. The child calls Dad in front of outsiders, and it's not easy to explain when outsiders ask... Besides, I hope that when he grows up, he will be more sensible. , I changed my name to my dad."

Ye Shiqing was silent for a while, then patted Ye Jiawen on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go, it's late, the child should go to bed."

Ye Jiawen didn't stay at home until midnight, so before leaving, he stuffed Ye Shiqing with a red envelope.Ye Shiqing didn't refuse this time, and after receiving the red envelope, he said to Ye Jiawen, "We've saved all the money you've given me and your Aunt Han over the years. It must be [-]. We're not short of money. Originally, I was I want to use this money as a betrothal gift for you to have a better wedding, but now that things are like this, you can tell me what you want to do with the money, and we will put it in the bank to eat some interest money."

Ye Jiawen smiled and said, "While the house is still cheap, you can post some more yourself, get together a down payment, and buy a house."

Ye Shiqing was stunned: "House prices have skyrocketed in the past two years, and now they cost [-] yuan per square meter. Isn't that cheap?"

Ye Jiawen blinked: "Ten years from now, you will feel that all the houses you have now are for nothing."

Ye Shiqing said: "Oh, we have several houses in our house, do you still want to buy them?"

Ye Jiawen said: "Then take this money and travel abroad with Aunt Han. It's fun. It's 10 yuan, and you can go to Europe once. It's enough to save some money. Dad, it's not easy for you to pull me away. This is what I gave Your filial money, you have worked hard all your life, you should enjoy it, I can earn it, I earn a lot now, Xiang Qingyun and I plan to take Xiaolong to Japan to play before the Japanese earthquake."

"What? Japan is going to have an earthquake?"

Ye Jiawen knew that he had slipped his tongue, and stuck out his tongue with a smile: "Guess."

Before leaving, Ye Jiawen hugged Ye Shiqing vigorously: "Dad, I love you." The boy's emotional expression is always relatively restrained. Ye Jiawen has lived so long, this is the first time he has clearly expressed "I love you" "Say the three words.

Ye Shiqing's eyes were red again, and he patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "Have a good time!" After saying that, he wiped his eyes and went into the room.

After setting off fireworks for a long time, Xiang Xiaolong was really sleepy.He is already seven years old, a half-grown child, and Xiang Qingyun feels heavy when holding him in his arms. It is a little awkward to imagine letting him sleep in his arms like when he was a child, so instead he carried him on his back and let him lie on his back. Sleeping on their backs, the family of three walked slowly in the night.

Back at Gu Shang's home, Xiang Xiaolong was already sound asleep, his fathers couldn't bear to wake him up to wash up, and put him on the bed directly to let him sleep.

Ye Jiawen and Xiang Qingyun washed up hastily, and lay side by side on the bed, listening to the sound of fireworks outside the window, without feeling sleepy at all.After twelve o'clock, the sound of firecrackers suddenly rang many times, crackling, and it was about to scare away the evil "Nian".Ye Jiawen turned over, faced Xiang Qingyun, and put his hands on his chest: "New Year's Eve."

Xiang Qingyun stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him, and kissed his bun: "Happy New Year."

Ye Jiawen rubbed his forehead affectionately on his shoulder: "Let's have a good New Year, every year will be better than every year."

Xiang Qingyun said softly: "Yes, have a good time."

After returning to City S, Ye Jiawen went to the bank to pay off the last loan, and the mortgage remarks on the two real estate certificates were canceled, and the property rights of the house were finally in his own hands.He kept his own copy in a safe in the bank, took the set with Xiang Qingyun's name on it home, and happily showed it to Xiang Qingyun.Xiang Qingyun is also very happy. They have paid off the mortgage and car loan of their first house. Although they still have a house loan to repay, at least the property rights of the car and house are truly their own.

Xiang Xiaolong learned things very quickly, and not long after, the teacher asked him to write a diary.

Every day when Ye Jiawen came home, he saw Xiang Xiaolong lying on the table doing his homework. After completing the arithmetic and homework, he also had to practice calligraphy. He had to do at least one hour of homework every day.Xiang Xiaolong was very serious, even more serious than other children. The teacher assigned to copy two pages of copybooks, and he would copy three pages. No one asked him to do it himself.Ye Jiawen knew that what happened when he was a child still had a shadow in his heart. He had always been more obedient than other children, and he was more afraid of being abandoned than anyone else.

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Jiawen was working, and Xiang Qingyun called.He said: "Jiawen, I have something to do right now. I may not be able to pick up Xiaolong today. Will you be free? If you are free, you can pick him up after school."

Ye Jiawen said: "Xiaolong and the others leave school at 05:30, and I don't get off work until [-]:[-]."

Xiang Qingyun was silent for a while, and said, "Forget it, I'll pick it up. It's fine."

Ye Jiawen hurriedly asked, "What's the matter for you? If it's very important, I'll ask Lu Qing for a leave of absence, and I'll pick up the child."

Xiang Qingyun said: "My brother is coming to S city, the train is at [-] o'clock, let me pick him up at the train station. If you can't leave, I will pick up the child first and then pick him up. I don't have time to make dinner, you take Xiaolong out Let's have dinner."

Ye Jiawen was in a daze for a while.It's been a long time since he had anything to do with Xiang Qingtian. Since the Haiping incident, Xiang Qingtian has stopped a lot, because he was concentrating on arguing with his wife at home, why did he suddenly run over again?What the hell is going on here?He said unhappily: "Tell your brother the address, can he take a taxi by himself? He is so grown up, and he won't be abducted by human traffickers."

Xiang Qingyun said: "That's fine, I'll let him come by himself, I'll pick up Xiaolong, you can go to work."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Jiawen couldn't do his work anymore, and began to think about the phone call just now.In fact, since Xiang Qingyun found out that he bought a house with private money, even if Xiang Qingyun didn't say anything, he himself felt that this was not good.After all, in Xiang Qingyun's heart, he doesn't remember those things in his previous life. In this life, he acted as an iron cock in order to protect his rights and interests, and didn't let Xiang Qingtian and the others take advantage of them. So in this way, in Xiang Qingyun's mind, he is Isn't it too selfish?From the matter of coming out with Ye Shiqing and Aunt Han during the Chinese New Year, we can see Xiang Qingyun's hard work and determination. He is working hard to make the relationship with his family harmonious, and maybe he can make a proper step forward.This step does not mean that he will return to the old road of being squeezed by Xiang Qingtian and the others from now on, but that he will not suffer any loss, and that he can properly reflect his desire to live in harmony in irrelevant things.After all, no matter how bad those people are, they are also Xiang Qingyun's blood relatives. This is an indelible fact. You can deny it, but you can't deny it.

So Ye Jiawen called Xiang Qingyun again and told him that he would ask for leave to pick up Xiang Xiaolong from school and let Xiang Qingyun arrange it himself.

At 04:30, Ye Jiawen left the company and took a taxi to Xiang Xiaolong's school.Although they have a car, but because Qingyun usually picks up Xiang Xiaolong to and from school, so the car is driven by Xiang Qingyun, and Ye Jiawen usually takes the subway by himself, and they discuss saving half a year's money to buy a better car in the second half of the year Car, both of them drive.

It was almost five o'clock when Ye Jiawen arrived at the school, and Xiang Xiaolong stood obediently by the school gate, looking forward to it.Ye Jiawen rolled down the car window and waved to him. When he saw it, he ran over in surprise: "Uncle Ye, why did you borrow me today?"

Ye Jiawen motioned him to get in the car: "Uncle Xiang has something to do, I'll take you out to eat tonight, what do you want to eat?"

Xiang Xiaolong smiled happily: "Pizza Hut!"

He accompanied Xiang Xiaolong home after dinner, but Xiang Qingyun hadn't come back yet, Ye Jiawen called him, and he said that he was eating out with his brother.After a while, Xiang Xiaolong finished his homework and went downstairs to play with the vitality board.Ye Jiawen was packing up his things when the sound of a key opening the door sounded outside.Xiang Qingyun and Xiang Qingtian walked in.

When Xiang Qingtian saw Ye Jiawen, he had a weird expression.He had already heard from his parents that Ye Jiawen and Xiang Qingyun were a gay couple, and he was very angry because recalling what Ye Jiawen did before, he finally knew that Ye Jiawen was always acting!The reason why he owed Qingyun money to him was actually to drive him to Qingtian's corner!What a scheming Ye Jiawen is, maybe Haiping let him come here, and the relationship between the husband and wife broke up and the family property was ruined, and the elder brother who had always been gentle and considerate became indifferent and selfish.How much he wanted to rush up and beat Ye Jiawen hard, and give back to Ye Jiawen all the hardships he had suffered all these years, but he also knew that he was under the eaves now and had to bow his head.

Xiang Qingyun explained to Ye Jiawen: "Qingtian came to S City to look for a job. He will stay here tonight and go out to find a hotel tomorrow."

Ye Jiawen resisted the urge to frown, and looked at Xiang Qingtian with puzzled eyes: "Looking for a job?"

Xiang Qingtian reluctantly tugged at the corner of his mouth, and sneered.Since that incident, even though he and Liu Sha were still living together, they had become at odds with each other. They had a small quarrel for three days, a big quarrel for five days, and a big fight once every ten days.Liu Sha also brought her son over, and it is useless to squeeze him out at home all day long, Xiang Qingtian was told what to do when she was in a hurry, Liu Sha pointed her finger outside and shouted: "Look at your brother, I also bought a house and a car in S City. They call it skill. You live like a fish in water in a big city. If you take a piss to see what kind of dog you are, you will play tricks in front of me and my son all day long! If you have the ability, you Also go to S city to make a lot of money!" Xiang Qingtian panicked and shouted: "Go right away!" Then he packed his luggage, stuffed a train ticket and pushed it onto the train, and rushed over.

Xiang Qingyun felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he smoothed things over: "Where is Xiaolong?"

Ye Jiawen said, "I'm playing below."

Xiang Qingyun said: "Let Xiaolong squeeze with us tonight, let Qingtian sleep with Xiaolong."

Before Ye Jiawen could speak, Xiang Qingtian hurriedly said politely: "It's okay, I'll sleep with Xiaolong, it's not too crowded."

How could Ye Jiawen rest assured that he was sleeping with Xiang Xiaolong.With Xiang Qingtian's mouth, what can he say to Xiang Xiaolong all night?But it's not right for Xiaolong to sleep with them, the two of them are not an ordinary couple after all.He was a little dissatisfied, and wanted Xiang Qingtian to sleep on the floor by himself, but now that they had already decided on which bed to sleep on, they couldn't be bothered to let someone else sleep on the floor, so they had no choice but to keep silent.

At this time, Xiang Xiaolong came back with the skateboard in his arms, and Xiang Qingtian hurriedly made friends with him, squatted on the ground and said with a smile, "Xiaolong, do you still remember little uncle?"

Xiang Xiaolong blinked his big eyes in confusion, looked at Ye Jiawen and Xiang Qingyun, and shook his head timidly.

Xiang Qingtian couldn't hold back, he chuckled twice: "I'm your little uncle."

Xiang Xiaolong nodded obediently: "Hello, little uncle."

Xiang Qingyun asked him: "Xiaolong, my little uncle will stay at our house tonight, who do you want to sleep with at night? Squeeze with me and Uncle Ye, or with your little uncle?"

Before Xiang Xiaolong could speak, Xiang Qingtian said: "It's all right, I don't feel too crowded, I'm ashamed if you give me the bed, just let Xiaolong sleep with me."

Xiang Xiaolong was very obedient, so he stopped talking.

So that night, Xiang Xiaolong and Xiang Qingtian slept in the same bed.
