Lu Ming Xiang eucalyptus

The curtains floated slightly, and Tao Luyin sat quietly by the bed with a Pikachu doll in his hand, listening to the quarrel between the two outside the room.

The source of the quarrel is mostly the woman. Occasionally, the man couldn't help interjecting a few words in a low voice, but he could only yell sharper, and the invisible smoke of war became thicker and thicker.

Since last year, such quarrels have become more and more frequent.

At the beginning, Tao Luyin also felt that she couldn't understand why her parents who used to be loving and loving suddenly turned into such an opposing look. She had persuaded and cried, and finally she got used to accepting this situation.

There was the sound of bowls and chopsticks breaking, and her eyelids only slightly lifted, and then dropped again.

The corners of his lips pursed.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of her room was opened, and a woman came over, knelt down and hugged her.

Tao Luyin: "Mom."

"Xiaolu," Meng Yao held her daughter's face, "Mom has been busy with work recently, and she may come home very late, don't wait for mom, go to bed after finishing homework, don't stay up late, you know?"

Tao Luyin looked at her quietly with dark eyes.

"Be good, baby, listen to your mother."

Tao Luyin nodded, his voice soft, "Okay."

Meng Yao quickly left the house, Tao Luyin put down the doll and went out of the room, and saw her father—Tao Jiawei, sitting on the sofa silently with his head down.

Noticing his daughter came out, Tao Jiawei looked at the messy dining table, wiped his face and said, "These can't be eaten, dad will make you a new bowl of noodles, how about the tomato and egg ones?"

Tao Luyin: "Okay."

Tao Jiawei smiled, and the haze dissipated a little.He bent down to hold his daughter in his arms. Tao Luyin was a small one, sitting on the man's muscular arms, neither crying nor fussing, very obedient.

Tao Jiawei's green stubble chin rubbed against her white and tender face, "Wait, Dad will make it for you now."

After that, Meng Yao didn't go home for a long time, and when she came back, she had an agreement in her hand, avoided Tao Luyin as usual, and discussed with Tao Jiawei.

The whole process was very peaceful this time, the relationship came to an end, and divorce was the only option.

Tao Jiawei signed the contract and had no objection to Tao Luyin's custody rights. Meng Yao was busy with his career, so he naturally had to take care of the child.

On the same day, the two announced this decision to Tao Luyin. The child was pure-hearted, and said softly, "Will I not have a mother in the future?"

"Of course there is," Meng Yao hugged her distressedly, "How could there be no mother, mother will come to see you often in the future."

Tao Jiawei agreed, "Yes."

Tao Lu's eyes were a little red, "Mom is lying again."

After the divorce, Tao Jiawei will no longer live here, and is planning to pack up his luggage and take his daughter back to his hometown. Tao Luyin hasn't said anything yet, and her classmates are not happy.

"What do you mean, you're leaving? You won't have classes with everyone in the new semester?" The braided girl looked at her in disbelief.

Tao Luyin hummed, "Because Mom and Dad divorced."

Divorce, which is usually a devastating blow to a child, means that she will be in a single-parent family in the future.Twisted Pigtail pursed her lips and comforted her, "It's okay, we're all here."

Tao Luyin wiped the corners of her eyes, "Why are you crying?"

"I think Xiao Lu is too miserable, can you tell your parents not to divorce," Twist Braid wailed loudly, "No one will sit at the same table with me in the new semester."

Tao Luyin: "..."

Tao Jiawei acted very quickly. After a few days, he packed his luggage and booked two high-speed rail tickets.The high-speed rail was moving forward along the track. Tao Jiawei handed his daughter a bottle of water, rubbed his head and said, "We went to the grandparents' house, that house is very big, do you remember?"

Grandpa and grandma passed away a few years ago, and Tao Luyin has never been there since then, and he has almost no impression of it.

"It's okay," Tao Jiawei smiled gently, "I'll remember it when I get to Xiaolu."

The high-speed train arrived in more than four hours, and then they took a bus for another hour before arriving at the town where the ancestral home is located.

Tao Jiawei was carrying two waist-high suitcases in his hands, and a small light blue schoolbag on his shoulder.The sun was scorching hot, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, shoulders, and back.

He took Tao Luyin to a place shaded by trees, and said, "Father will go find a car first, and you should stay here for a while."

He gave Tao Luyin a piece of change, "Don't run around, go to the nearby supermarket to buy water to drink when you are thirsty."

Having just drank half a bottle of water on the high-speed rail, Tao Luyin is not thirsty now, but very hot.Holding the 20 yuan change in her little hand, she walked to the supermarket. The store manager had sharp eyes, "Little girl, shopping, what do you want to buy?"

Tao Luyin walked to the front of the freezer.

Her hair was a little messy, her fair and tender face was dyed a thin layer of red because of the heat, and her dark eyes were staring at the package of the freezer.

She's a little short and can't see what ice cream is in the freezer.

The store manager smiled, "Do you want to hug you?"

Tao Luyin shook her head. There was a short green plastic stool at the cash register. She walked over and lifted it up, trying to put it on it.She glanced at the store manager.

This is the usual stool, the store manager smiled and let the children go.

Tao Luyin got permission, just turned around with the stool, and saw another person in front of the freezer.

It's a girl, Tao Luyin looked up.

In the hot and sweaty weather, the girls wore well-formed school uniform jackets and trousers. The blue and white colors were the few cool colors in the sweltering air.Her back looked very slender. She took out an ice cream from the freezer, then turned around and handed the boss a piece of change.

When she turned around, Tao Luyin saw her facial features, her skin was snow-white, the expression between her eyebrows and eyes was very pale, and the slightly raised peach-blossom eyes struck a little alienation and added a little gentleness.

She is as beautiful as the jade girl I have seen on TV.

Tao Luyin thought to himself.

"School is over," the store manager cheerfully accepted the money.

Shang An nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Tao Luyin who was carrying the stool, "Where did you come from?"

"I bought ice cream, but it's too small to see what's inside, so I can only use a stool." The store manager said.

Tao Luyin pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

Shang Yu laughed, and handed her the ice cream in his hand, "Eat this."

Tao Luyin didn't answer.

Shang An looked at her reddened earlobes, not sure if it was hot or shy, "This tastes pretty good, I haven't opened it yet, I'll give it to you."

She bent down, and the ice cream was handed to her, and the face that looked like a jade girl suddenly enlarged, with the sweetness of summer.

Tao Luyin was stunned for a few seconds, then took it by accident.

Shang An straightened up, and took another identical ice cream from the freezer. The price of the two ice creams added up, and it happened that the store manager didn't need change.

After she finished shopping, she left the supermarket without looking back.

Tao Luyin didn't wait long. Tao Jiawei drove a black car he got from someone who didn't know where he got it. He loaded all his luggage into it, and then went straight to his ancestral home.

It has been a long time since the last time I came here, Tao Luyin was not very literate at the time, the car turned a corner under the guidance of the blue signboard, and Tao Luyin clearly recognized the words on the road sign this time.

——Yehe Lane.

This alley is very long, and the road is spacious enough. There are many tall plane trees planted on both sides, and there are some houses in the shadows of the trees.

Tao Jiawei drove the car to the ancestral house, saying it was the ancestral house, but it was actually a small two-story building."Here we are," he said.

Tao Luyin swallowed the car slowly, and glanced at the reddish-brown gate.

The door of the next house suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman with permed hair came out with a basin of water. She poured the water on the root of the sycamore tree, and looked up to notice the father and daughter.

"Isn't this so who! That...Little Tao, why are you here?" the woman said.

Tao Jiawei greeted, "Aunt Liang, long time no see, we moved here today."

"Moving? Are you going to live here from now on?"

"correct."

Aunt Liang looked at the short Tao Luyin, "How old is it? I remember the last time I saw him, I was still at the age of drinking milk powder."

"Ten years old, it's time for fourth grade," Tao Jiawei smiled, "I'll go back and pack my luggage first."

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Tao Luyin didn't go in with her father, but stood under the eaves to hide from the sun. She hadn't finished eating the ice cream in her hand, so she licked it in small bites.

"Do you still remember Auntie?" Aunt Liang looked at her curiously, "I hugged you before!"

Tao Luyin nodded, and said crisply, "Hello, Auntie."

"Hey, the little girl is so good." Aunt Liang laughed like a flower.

"It's too hot outside, hurry back and turn on the air conditioner—" Aunt Liang suddenly stopped talking, looking in a certain direction, "Xiao'an is out of school!"

Tao Luyin looked along, and heard a faint hum.

"Your parents are not at home today, so you still come to Aunt Liang's place for dinner tonight, and they cooked delicious dishes today."

Shang Yu smiled, "Okay."

The girl was pushing a bicycle with her schoolbag in her pocket, and her black hair was loosely tied into a ponytail.Probably because it was too hot, the sleeves of her school uniform were stretched up slightly, revealing a white and thin wrist.

The zipper of the school uniform was also pulled down, revealing the white T-shirt inside.

When Shang Yu passed by Tao Luyin's house, there was a small figure in the corner of her vision. She looked over and met Tao Luyin's baby fat face.

The child looked at her quietly with black eyes, and ate most of the ice cream in his hand.

It's new here, no wonder I haven't seen it before.

Shang Yu thought so, looked away, pushed the bicycle and continued to move forward, but there was an extra tail behind.

Until she walked to the front of her house, the tail did not shake off.

"Are you following me?" Shang Yu parked his bicycle.

Tao Luyin pursed his lips and nodded.

"What are you doing with me?" Shang An took out the house key from the side pocket of his schoolbag.

Tao Luyin didn't know what to do, he couldn't think so much in his small head, it was just driven by an impulse, which was inexplicable.

She thought for a while, then raised the ice cream in her hand, and the man also took two steps closer, "Ice cream."

"What's the matter?" Shang An said, "Isn't it delicious?"

"It's delicious and sweet." Tao Luyin looked up at her with his dark eyes unblinking, "I haven't said thank you yet."

Her voice was soft and soft like a child's, "Thank you sister."

Shang An held the key ring in his fingertips, looked at her with long eyelashes, and felt that the new kid was cute and polite.She was going to say a few polite words, and then let the children go home after eating, but something happened before she could say anything—

The ice cream is made of chocolate. Under the baking of the sun, the chocolate is melted into a liquid, which slides down the tip of the crispy tube, slides over Tao Luyin's palm, and drips down.

One of the drops happened to land on Shang Yu's white sneakers.

Shang Yu: "..."

Tao Luyin quickly retracted his hand.

But it was of little use. Her always quiet appearance finally had a crack, and the childishness that only belonged to children was revealed at this moment.There was no trash can nearby, Tao Luyin didn't throw it away, and she didn't throw it away, she looked up at Shang Yu, her eyes were almost red.

"I'm sorry," she said dully, "I didn't mean to."

Shang An sighed lightly, took out a tissue from his pocket, motioned her to throw away the "dripping" ice cream, then took the child's hand, and wiped his palm with the tissue.

"Please eat ice cream, and I'm also responsible for after-sales service." She lowered her long eyelashes and acted very patiently, as she murmured, "I've never seen such a domineering child."
