[Rat cat] Mirror City

With Bai Yutang accompanying Zhan Zhao to walk around the house, Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui felt a little more at ease.Looking at the time, Ding Yuehua should almost be back.

Just thinking about it in his heart, Ding Yuehua led Ding Yao back.Ding Yao caught a cold and had a fever last night, and went to the hospital for a whole night, and now he has already fallen asleep leaning on Ding Yuehua's shoulder.

"Big Brother, Second Brother..." Ding Yuehua called Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui.Ding Zhaohui went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water for Ding Yuehua, while Ding Zhaolan took Ding Yao and looked at his little sister distressedly.

Ding Yuehua has really worked hard during this time. Last night, she rushed back overnight, and she hasn't had a good rest until now.Although she said she was fine, Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui still felt sorry for her.

Ding Yuehua took a sip of water to refresh herself, and then she stretched her sore muscles and bones. She rushed back yesterday and stayed with Ding Yao in the hospital again. She couldn't take it anymore.

"How is Xiaoyao?" Ding Zhaolan looked at her son distressedly and asked worriedly.He was originally the one who stayed in the hospital with Ding Yao last night, but Ding Yuehua pushed him back to rest because of his work.

"It's okay. After one night of observation in the hospital, the fever has subsided. You just need to sleep well." Ding Yuehua looked at his nephew lovingly, and couldn't help pinching his face.

Ding Yao in his sleep shook his head uncomfortably, then hugged Ding Zhaolan and slipped into his arms.All three of them sighed for his straightforward behavior, and they were still cute when he was asleep.

"By the way, are Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang here?" Remembering that he left them behind and came here first, Ding Yuehua still apologized a little. Of course, the apology was for Zhan Zhao, and Bai Yutang...you can play wherever you like. go.

"Yutang walked around with Zhan Zhao. They are not in a hurry, so don't be in a hurry to find them. Take a rest first." The sky is big, and the little girl is the biggest.Ding Zhaohui first considered her sister's health.

Ding Yuehua stretched, "I'm fine, it's a piece of cake for me not to sleep for a night or two. Let's take Xiaoyao back to the room and go to sleep."

Ding Yao is the core of their family, and all the attention of the three parents is on him.Even if it was to send Ding Yao back to sleep, the three of them went together.

Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui carefully covered Ding Yao with a quilt, and the other helped Ding Yao close the curtains.After finishing all this, the two men walked out, Ding Yuehua was still sitting by the bed.

Looking at Ding Yuehua's back, Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui sighed.Over the years, Ding Yuehua put all her heart and soul into this family and treated Ding Yao as her child.

In this family, Ding Yuehua is the only woman, who also plays the role of Ding Yao's mother.And Ding Yuehua did pay a lot to Ding Yao.

"I'm really scared, even Yuehua won't be able to support it if this goes on." After all, her son was the cause, and Ding Zhaolan couldn't express her guilt towards her sister.

Ding Zhaohui hugged his brother's shoulders and comforted him, "Brother, you'll be fine." After saying that, the two left slowly.

Ding Yuehua stared at Ding Yao who was sleeping soundly, the tiredness of the night suddenly dissipated when he saw Ding Yao's peaceful sleeping face.Ding Yuehua touched Ding Yao's face with pity, "Little troublemaker, it's daytime, you have to sleep here peacefully and don't run out again. Auntie is going out for a while, if you run around again after you come back , Auntie can't spare you."

Putting down a soft threat, Ding Yuehua kissed Ding Yao's forehead, and was about to get up.Unexpectedly, Ding Yao suddenly grabbed her skirt and called out, "Auntie."

"Xiaoyao, why are you awake?" Ding Yuehua immediately sat down again, and she lost all temper when facing the child, "Did aunt wake you up?"

Ding Yao shook his head, he was still very sleepy, his eyes drooped, he looked confused and well-behaved, "Auntie, I'm sorry."

Ding Yao's sudden apology stunned Ding Yuehua, could it be that Xiaoyao remembered it?But recently Ding Yao always lost the memory of the night, Ding Yuehua looked at Ding Yao expectantly, "Xiaoyao, why did you say sorry?"

It's a pity that Ding Yao shook his head and didn't answer Ding Yuehua's question at all, but just blinked and looked at Ding Yuehua innocently and guiltily.

Just like this, Ding Yuehua knew that he would not get an answer.Nor did he want to force Ding Yao, Ding Yuehua covered him with a quilt.

Ding Yao quietly let Ding Yuehua move, and asked after a while, "Auntie, do you want to go out to meet two uncles?"

Just as she was about to nod and say yes, Ding Yuehua suddenly realized that she hadn't told Ding Yao that she had asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to come over.Ding Yuehua froze when covering the quilt, and hurriedly asked: "Xiaoyao, how do you know that there are two uncles at home?"

It's a pity that Ding Yao fell into a deep sleep again, as if he wasn't the one who woke up and spoke just now.Children are like this, they can act willfully, fall asleep after talking and doing, and don't care what their own words will make people feel uneasy.

Since Ding Yao couldn't be picked up to ask questions, Ding Yuehua let him continue to sleep.The most urgent thing is to go to Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao first, otherwise she won't even know that Bai Yutang demolished her house.

But Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't know Ding Yuehua's worries at all, Zhan Zhao was only thinking of relaxing, Bai Yutang was not interested in tearing down Ding Yuehua's house before, and now he is even more busy taking care of the cat.

It's about taking care of him, but Zhan Zhao actually has nothing to worry about for Bai Yutang. The two of them just walk around in the yard, the wind blows, the leaves flutter and rustle, which can make people feel calm.

Although he has known Ding Yuehua for many years, this is the first time Bai Yutang has walked around Ding's house like this.Bai Yutang seldom came to Ding's house before, and he only knew Ding Zhaolan, Ding Zhaohui and Ding Yuehua.

Walking along the path with Zhan Zhao in this way, he realized that the Ding family was shrouded in time.The further they walked along the path, the more Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao felt as if they had stepped back in time.

Every stone, brick and tile here bears the vicissitudes and loneliness of time.Along the way, weeds grew densely, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang found a gazebo, which seemed to have a long history.

"I didn't expect there to be such a place behind the Ding's house." Zhan Zhao sighed, obviously not yet escaped from the feeling of turning back time.

Bai Yutang also nodded in agreement, although the mixed weeds and wild flowers were a bit disturbing, but it was enough to overlap with the scenes that appeared in his dream, completely antique.

Zhan Zhao looked around and suddenly stopped talking.Bai Yutang asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing...it's just that I vaguely feel that something is wrong...it's nothing." Zhan Zhao repeated again, but he kept his gaze in that direction and didn't look back.

Bai Yutang also followed Zhan Zhao's line of sight, but didn't find anything strange.

When Ding Yuehua found them, he saw Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao fighting side by side, staring at the rockery in her house, "Hey, are you two going to dry out here?"

Ding Yuehua's voice was particularly abrupt and shocking in the silence, Zhan Zhao turned his head quickly.To Ding Yuehua, it looked like a frightened cat, its fur stood on end.

"Ding Yuehua..." Bai Yutang frowned at her, reminding her not to go too far.Ding Yuehua stuck out his tongue, and walked in front of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao immediately recovered from the shock, and apologized to Ding Yuehua awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Miss Ding, I just walked into your yard casually."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the visitor is a guest, so you can go anywhere, just like Bai Yutang, just call me by my first name." Ding Yuehua can be presumptuous when facing Bai Yutang, but he can't help but put away his edge when facing Zhan Zhao, " It’s just that this place is a bit out of the way after all, our family seldom comes here, why don’t we go home and have a cup of tea first.”

Although Ding Yuehua said so, Zhan Zhao's heart was still occupied by this strange feeling, and he didn't move for a while.Ding Yuehua looked at Zhan Zhao strangely, then at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang didn't understand Zhan Zhao's strangeness, he just shook his head, if he could understand what the cat was thinking, why would he stand here with Zhan Zhao for so long without saying anything?

After a while, he probably didn't notice anything, so Zhan Zhao withdrew his gaze and followed Ding Yuehua and Bai Yutang back.Just on the road, he was still thinking about it.

"Miss Ding, I would venture to ask, have you always lived in this place? Didn't you move here in the past few years?" Zhan Zhao asked, the change of scenery along the path was what surprised him and Bai Yutang the most.

Ding Yuehua pushed aside the hanging branches and walked out, "I've always lived here. Not only my brother and I, our family has lived here going back dozens of generations. Our family still has a family tree. "

Never moved?Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows in surprise, and exchanged a glance with Bai Yutang——you know this situation?

Bai Yutang shook his head hastily—who knew that the Ding family would relocate so peacefully.

"It's true that our family's situation is rather strange. Dozens of generations of people have lived here for so many years, but this place is very good, and we have never thought of leaving." Ding Yuehua also has a deep love for his family. camaraderie.

Zhan Zhao nodded in agreement and explained, "There is a saying that if several generations live in the same place, then the accumulated popularity over the years will remain, and the blessings will be accumulated to protect the descendants. The longer the time, the better the family will be. The more peaceful and smooth it is.”

This would only happen if dozens of generations lived on the same piece of land, such as in a small hermit village, but that's extremely unlikely.The Ding family is considered a wonderful flower. If Gongsun Ce is here, he will try his best to investigate the situation of the Ding family under the possible conditions.

When Zhan Zhao spoke, his tone was very flat, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, it was easy for people to calm down and believe what he said.Ding Yuehua nodded repeatedly at first, and smiled joyfully when he heard the words "Protect the children and grandchildren, safe and smooth", but frowned regretfully.

Zhan Zhao was so engrossed in Ding's family that he didn't notice Ding Yuehua's disappearance, but Bai Yutang did notice something was wrong with Ding Yuehua, and after thinking about it carefully, he saw the clues.

"Cat, what you said may not be right." Bai Yutang's words successfully brought Zhan Zhao back to his senses.

In fact, Zhan Zhao wanted to reply "Nonsense, I'm Zhan Daxian..." at the first moment, but fortunately he bit his tongue in time.

Alas, after reading too much of these things that are true, false, and difficult to explain, I become obsessed.Zhan Zhao reminded himself to pay attention to his identity, and change his career until he retires.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao noticed that Bai Yutang was pointing at Ding Yuehua, and followed him to look over. Sure enough, Ding Yuehua's expression was a bit wrong.

It's too bad... You shouldn't use these gossips to talk about other people's experience and make trouble.Zhan Zhao wanted to apologize in his heart, Ding Yuehua sighed.

Damn... I got into trouble.Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang begging for help—help quickly.

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky - it wasn't my fault.By the way, he rolled his eyes again - if you say something wrong, Ding Yuehua will swallow you, not like this now.

Ding Yuehua's attitude can only show that there is something going on here.Zhan Zhao saw that Ding Yuehua had something to say, so he calmed down.

Ding Yuehua slowed down, and said, "Actually, what you said is not wrong. Our Ding family is also well-known in X City, and it has been going well for so many years. Bai Yutang must tell you that I am very happy in the collection industry." Right?"

Bai Yutang turned his head away, not to meet Ding Yuehua's gaze, otherwise the two of them would have to compete in private again.It doesn't matter if you compete, if Ding Yuehua makes a mess in front of Zhan Zhao, it will lose face.

Zhan Zhao also nodded, and by the way, muttered in his heart that Bai Yutang's words are more casual, it's just not easy to mix...

"As you said, it should really be a blessing from the ancestors...I really never thought that I would say this one day...In short, our family was very smooth before that, until recently, something went wrong. "Ding Yuehua's expression was gloomy.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are smart people, and they immediately knew that Ding Yuehua came to them this time for this problem.The two of them were not in a hurry, they quietly waited for Ding Yuehua to speak.

Before they knew it, the three returned to the front door.Before entering the door, Zhan Zhao and the others heard children's laughter coming from the room.

Ding Yuehua was taken aback for a moment, and just as he opened the door, a child rushed towards them.Half of Zhan Zhao's body blocked the child's sprinting path, Bai Yutang cooperatively pulled him to the side, and then the child threw himself into Ding Yuehua's arms.

Ding Yuehua was also very strong, directly picked up Ding Yao, and kissed him, "Little villain, why don't you continue to sleep?"

Sure enough, the child's spirit is good, and after tossing, he can even lie down and recover.

Ding Yao smiled and rubbed his arms around Ding Yuehua's neck, without saying a word, looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang curiously, and shyly buried himself in Ding Yuehua's neck when they looked up at him.

This should be Ding Zhaolan's son Ding Yao.Zhan Zhao was thinking about how to say hello, but Bai Yutang was one step faster than him.

Bai Yutang looked at Ding Yuehua and Ding Yao casually, opened his lips and said four words, "Mother and child love each other deeply."

In an instant, Zhan Zhao felt that the whole world was frozen.

Ding Yuehua's smiling face also froze, and after three seconds, Ding Yuehua raised his chin at Ding Yao.Ding Yao covered his ears understandingly and closed his eyes.

Pushing Ding Yao into Zhan Zhao's arms, Ding Yuehua sank into his dantian, his eyes sparkled, "Bai Yutang, I will fight with you!"

Bai Yutang immediately put on a stance and wrestled with Ding Yuehua.Zhan Zhao was dumbfounded, so Bai Yutang and Ding Yuehua collided like this every time?

Just as he was watching with enthusiasm, Zhan Zhao heard laughter.Only then did he realize that Ding Yao was peeking at Ding Yuehua and Bai Yutang's fight with squinted eyes.The self-consciousness just now was just a fake.

"Pretend to be good." Zhan Zhao scratched the tip of Ding Yao's nose.

Ding Yao didn't hide either, making sure that Ding Yuehua wasn't looking at him, so he leaned into Zhan Zhao's ear and whispered, "My aunt is always like this, she always asks me to close my eyes and cover my ears before getting angry. Hehe, I just peek and listen. .”

Zhan Zhao silently sighed for Ding Yuehua in his heart, the image of a gentle aunt he painstakingly maintained had long since disappeared in his nephew's heart.

Ding Yuehua erupted quickly and withdrew quickly, and immediately separated from Bai Yutang.

Seeing this, Ding Yao immediately made a silent gesture towards Zhan Zhao, then covered his ears, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.

It wasn't until Ding Yuehua took Ding Yao away that Zhan Zhao took advantage of Ding Yuehua's inattention and said to Bai Yutang, "Don't tell me, the Ding family really looks good in disguise."

Bai Yutang looked at Ding Yuehua and Ding Yao, and nodded sympathetically, "Family inheritance." Speaking of which, can family inheritance be meaningful?

Zhan Zhao glared at Bai Yutang, "You clearly know that he is Brother Ding's son."

"I can't help it, who made her look like a mother." Bai Yutang was plausible.

"..." Zhan Zhao decided not to talk too much about this matter with Bai Yutang.

The three of them quarreled and quarreled, and Ding Yuehua calmed down a lot.Seeing Ding Yao looking at the two curiously, Ding Yuehua said, "Xiaoyao, these are the two guests you mentioned just now."

Ding Yao raised his head and asked blankly, "Just mentioned it? No."

Ding Yuehua hugged Ding Yao to her lap without any surprise, but didn't remember...

But Ding Yuehua has also learned not to worry about this, first introduce Zhan Zhao to Ding Yao, "This brother is called Zhan Zhao, he was the one who hugged you just now, do you want to say thank you to him?"

Ding Yao immediately said sweetly, "Hello, brother", and moved his little buttocks to run towards Zhan Zhao.Naturally, this little trick couldn't escape the sharp eyes of the three adults present.

All right, kitty, it's so destined to be a child——Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows at Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao just laughed, and he didn't know the reason.

Ding Yuehua smiled, pointed at Bai Yutang and said to Ding Yao, "This one doesn't need to be introduced, right?" Bai Yutang froze.

Ding Yao took two glances at Bai Yutang, feeling a little familiar.

Ding Yuehua seized this opportunity and said to Ding Yao, "I want to call someone." Bai Yutang felt overwhelmed.

Then... Ding Yao nodded obediently, and called to Bai Yutang, "Uncle Bai."

Brother Zhan...Uncle Bai...

Bai Yutang really wanted to pat Ding Yao's little butt, do I look old?I am four years younger than your brother Zhan, four years old!
