It goes without saying

Another summer has come, but this year's summer is different from previous years, it belongs to Shen Le alone.

The youngest dad took the eldest dad to the UK, intending to give him the most comprehensive physical examination, because there is a very professional cardiac surgery team there. Shen Le knew that the old dad had undergone a palliative operation on his heart. In fact, the best treatment has been done for Daddy's condition, but there are still hidden dangers, but it does not affect daily life. In fact, re-operation in a short period of time will put too much burden on Daddy's heart, and the risk is also great. At least Before the age of 20, the doctor thinks that there is no need for surgery, but after the age of 20, it is still necessary to carry out further treatment according to the physical condition.

However, the little dad took care of the big dad in every detail, so that the big dad didn't even have a small cold on weekdays, and the age of 20 has already passed, and there are at least two regular checkups every year. Today, they have worked together It has been 37 years, but in the past two years, the younger dad seems to be a little uneasy because of the physical condition of the older dad. Although the routine examination seems to be fine, Shen Le also found that the strength of the older dad is obviously not as good as in previous years. At the same time, Shen Le I also noticed the uneasiness of the little dad, even he noticed it, let alone the big dad?

Everyone hopes to live a long and long life, especially the one who loves deeply. Shen Le has seen the inseparable relationship between the two fathers in the past 15 years. Without that expert team, there will be a trip to London left behind by two fathers. Who made him a student who just finished his freshman year and is about to enter his sophomore year?And because he is already full, he is almost 19 years old, and he can be regarded as an adult. The two fathers have no burden to leave him behind, in the name of exercising his independence in life.It's just that Shen Le feels that he has been very independent and independent since he was a child. After all, he has consciously left space for his two fathers since he was a child, allowing them to live their two-person world. What's more, when he grows up, it's just like this, they still feel that he is not independent enough, which makes Shen Le very dissatisfied. Of course, he selectively forgot the childhood and youth when he was very attached to his two fathers, and he didn't take care of him. The two fathers took turns to pick him up from school to accompany him in the college entrance examination, and the matter of accompanying him to the university when he first entered school was counted. I have to say that this has a lot to do with the two fathers instilling in him that "they are a family" since he was a child. Whether independent or not, a family cannot be separated, but for the sake of Daddy's health, Shen Le reluctantly accepted this separation.He looked up at the small tree house that had been covered with green leaves a long time ago. He stood alone at the door of his house. He remembered the smile of his father and the words his father told him in the video 10 minutes ago. Went to the "Lele Coffee" in the community.

"Lele Coffee" is the all-glass sun room with the widest view and the highest location in the community.When Shen Le was five years old, that is, on the day when he was adopted by Shen Xi and Zhou Yanyu for two years, "Lele Coffee" officially opened. Little Shen Le was the honorary store manager of the coffee shop at that time. At that time, Shen Xi officially handed over the management right of this coffee shop to him.

During the seven years from the age of five to 12, apart from at home, Shen Le spent a lot of time in "Lele Coffee", just because there is a coffee shop downstairs and a toy shop upstairs. Children will gather upstairs to play or study, like a "kindergarten" in the community. The only difference from the "kindergarten" is that these children all come from welfare homes or orphanages, some come once a week, and some come every few days He came here once, but Shen Le was almost there. Shen Le also saw the children who used to be in the same orphanage as him. He felt in a ignorant way that these playmates were gathered by his fathers for him.

As these children grew older, including Shen Le himself, they all began to work as waiters in coffee shops, doing small things such as serving coffee and tea, and getting five yuan pocket money for every full hour of work , the children are very happy to work in the coffee shop. In addition, they will also form a team to carry out other tasks, such as cleaning the floors of the community, helping the grandmothers in the community to take out the trash, and so on.

These children probably know that they have no parents. Not only are they obedient and sensible, but they are all willing to learn to be independent. Since Xiaodouding was five or six years old, he voluntarily wandered around the community with older children, and Shen Xi also joined forces with them. Some owners started boarding life for this group of children, so as to prevent the children from running back and forth between the two places. With such a model-like caring community model, Ling Shangyun made a special trip to find other community owners to visit, so far, at least Already, ten communities have voluntarily joined the caring activity of "bringing warmth to children and accommodating them into their big home".

With a "ding bell", the bell at the door of the coffee shop rang because of the sound of the door opening.

"Lele, you're here!" Wang Xiaomei, who was working in the coffee shop, raised her head and greeted Shen Le happily.She was the same age as Shen Le, and she was also an orphan. Her parents were both killed in a traffic accident, leaving her alone. No one among her relatives was willing to take her in, so she was sent to an orphanage. The first time she came here He is only six and a half years old, one year older than Shen Le. She often hears Shen Le talking about his big dad and young dad, saying that in the future a coffee shop will be opened downstairs, which will sell delicious pastries.These pastries used to be rewards. In order to be able to eat a piece of pastry, children had to learn characters. For example, children who could write ten characters silently could get a piece.At the age of seven, Wang Xiaomei had the opportunity to study. This is because Shen Xi specially set up a bursary. The bursary needs to be won by the children themselves. If they are lazy and do not like to study, they are not eligible for the subsidy. It is their enterprising spirit, rather than competitive spirit, because as long as they meet the standards, there is no limit to the number of children who will be rewarded with bursaries, including Shen Le, who also needs to use his strength to obtain it, and he will never have it just because he is the son of Shen Xi and Zhou Yanyu. privilege.

Now Wang Xiaomei and Shen Le are admitted to the university smoothly, but she will come to work in the coffee shop no matter whether it is winter vacation, summer vacation or rest day, this place is like her home, besides Wang Xiaomei, there are quite a few children who come here to work in turn , some young people will come upstairs to do their homework. Now there are several rooms upstairs, which are divided according to age. Children aged five or six will still be brought here to play and learn to read. Children aged seven or eight After class, the children will organize patrols on their own initiative. The [-]- and [-]-year-olds are preparing for the high school entrance examination, and they will be grouped with the [-]- and [-]-year-old students who are taking the college entrance examination.

There is never a shortage of small waiters in the coffee shop, and many of the customers in the coffee shop are students. It seems that this place has become a gathering place for children, and non-orphans who grew up in the community will also come here to consume. By the way, self-study, in general, "Lele Coffee" is a very special existence, and it is also one of the characteristics of the community.

There is also a special attraction in the community is the small tree house, but all the children who have been to the community and the community have climbed through the small tree house under the leadership of Shen Le. After the small tree house became the headlines on the Internet, it didn’t take long. The real address was revealed—undoubtedly, it was accidentally revealed by the residents of the community, and then it was discovered by the sharp-eyed fans of the big V who had seen the small tree house that day—Shen Xi had been prepared for a long time, he Although He Zhou Yanyu is not a celebrity, but because the company's relationship is not small, he simply sent a Weibo to welcome friends who are interested in small tree houses in the same city to visit, which led to a group of potential customers who bought houses. Qiqi has a similar community project to be launched. People who came to visit the small tree house inevitably visited the community together, as well as the very special sun room in the community. Because of this, Shen Qi incorporated this concept into the real estate development of the children’s reserved land. He also increased the area of ​​the sun room a lot, and constantly revised the management methods in terms of properties, making this model endless. It allows children to get more opportunities to get along with others. Of course, there have been many problems in this process, but as long as the result is good, a little twists and turns in the process can make people feel a lot.

"Brother Lele!" The 12-year-old boy Dong Feng came out with a plate. He was a child in the later batches. He was a crybaby when he came. Before jumping up, Shen Le told him that boys will grow taller when they reach junior high school. Recently, he is eager to grow taller, because this kid loves "Slam Dunk" the most, and he dreams of playing basketball.

"Has Xiao Feng started to go on vacation too?" With the arrival of batch after batch of children, Shen Le has long since become everyone's elder brother. Shen Le was timid and shy when he was a child, but later he became an elder brother. This problem is gone. He He is generous and loves to laugh. He always has candy in his pocket. All the children don’t like Shen Le, because they can eat delicious candy when they see him, and they can get praise from him when they do things well. Don’t look at it. Shen Le is only 19 years old this year, and he seems to have become the object of all the children's dependence. When children encounter problems, they always think of brother Lele first, not their teacher or class teacher.

"Well! I signed up for the math summer camp, so I can only help here for ten days." Dong Feng's math scores are very good, and the school will hold various summer camps during the summer vacation. Due to the success of Shen Xi's bursary, these children are now Special personnel are responsible for the expenses of their study, and the children's study status is also regularly tracked. Children who study well have a special reserve fund that can be claimed. Children with outstanding math scores like Dong Feng, whether it is a summer camp or related training , Never need to worry about money. The so-called bursary is a fund set up entirely to promote the study of these children.

In fact, this is a residential area, and the coffee shops here are generally not very busy, but this coffee shop is like an organizational center, where all the information is collected, which makes people come and go, Even Shen Le herself would sit down and have a cup of tea or coffee to get acquainted with everyone's current situation because of coming here, and then chat before leaving.

On the only non-glass wall in the store, there are many calendars pasted up. These are learned from Zhou Yanyu, the big parent. The children drew similar tables by themselves, drawing out the lessons or rest time of this month, Now that everyone is entering the summer vacation one after another, the most on the form is "love". The time period corresponding to each heart is the time when they come to work in the store. The coffee shop is open from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, and shifts are changed by the hour. It will tacitly stagger the time that has been selected, and use solid and hollow to represent work or study.What they do in other time is also written on the calendar. They are like a growing family. The children in this big family have become brothers and sisters. Shen Le encountered very bad things when he was a child. , but in recent years, he has long forgotten the pain he has suffered. Over the years, he has gained a lot, and he has learned to share the good things he has gained. In his opinion, the violence and abuse that have been imposed on him It seems to be a matter of the last life. Now he only feels that he was born beautiful. He hopes to help more children who are still suffering. He also knows that this matter is not enough for him alone, but he Seeing that the children who came to the community are getting better and better, he feels that this matter is worth doing, and he must continue to do it.

"Brother Lele will accompany me to play basketball in a while, I will change shifts with Jiaming in half an hour." Dong Feng looked at Shen Le anxiously and said.

"Okay, who else is here, you call them all." Shen Le said with a big wave of his hand.

"Okay!" Dong Feng put down the coffee for the guests and bounced back to the bar with the plate in his arms.

Shen Le sat down on the seat by the window, and the table legs there were also dusty special seats. It was getting older now, and it was always there when it was brought by Shen Le during the day. Shen Le came and went, when he came At most, she looked up at him, and didn't even bother to move when she was walking, but Shen Le bent down and stroked its soft and shiny fur, as a way of saying hello to it.

This is also his second home. He still remembers when his dad came here with him in his arms. At that time, there was nothing but empty glass. Dad pointed to a row of large glass windows next to the door and said : "It's sunny here, and the tables and chairs are arranged along here. Your little dad likes to drink coffee and think, so let him sit here." Dad pointed to the sunniest place at nine or ten o'clock and said, "Outside the window. It is full of plants, and it looks like our yard, so that your little dad can feel the warmth of home when he is working."

At that time, Shen Le was still wondering if my little dad had an office, but later I found out that they didn't work in that office after a year. For a while, both dads were "crackling" on their notebooks in a coffee shop, At that time, Shen Le was either in the kindergarten, or he was sitting next to the fathers and drawing pictures. Sometimes when the elder father was typing, there was no sound. Little Shen Le looked up, and the elder father was propping his head and looking at the younger father in a daze. , every time at this time, little Shen Le would secretly go to see my little dad, my little dad lowered his eyes, as if he didn't notice, but after a while, little dad would stop what he was doing, and then go to the kitchen to fetch pastries, and make some Bring a pot of tea and put it in front of Dad.

At this time, Dad would turn his head and ask him with a smile, "Lele, do you want to eat?"

"Think!" Xiao Shen Le nodded every time and answered loudly.He likes to eat the pastries here the most, and then Dad said: "If you want to eat, close your eyes."

Little Shen Le didn't suspect him, so she closed her eyes obediently.

"Open your mouth."

Soon a piece of sweet pastry was fed into his mouth, Xiao Shen Le couldn't be more satisfied, and at the same time, he heard Daddy say: "You can only open your eyes after eating this piece."

Little Shen Le was very obedient and never opened his eyes halfway. It was not until many years later that he realized what the two fathers did when he closed his eyes. No wonder he occasionally heard the sound of swallowing saliva at that time. He naively thought that it was because his dad was greedy for his cakes but specially saved them for him. For this reason, he was always touched, and he secretly saved his pocket money to buy cakes for his dad.

Later, when the coffee shop was officially opened to the public, the two fathers came less often, but they found him many playmates, who were exactly the same age as him. When he didn't go to kindergarten, Shen Le would be seen by his fathers. Sent here, and that's it, fifteen years later, he's grown up, and the daddies aren't as young as they were then.

Shen Le used to hope that he could grow up quickly, but when he really grew up and understood a lot of things, he didn't want to grow up any longer. It's a pity that time is equal to everyone, and one day he himself will grow older , getting old slowly, but before that, he hopes to have enough time for his two fathers, he loves them very much, they gave him a new life, let him know what love is, he understands love , and also learned to love, he watched the two fathers love each other like that, they have such a tacit understanding, they never quarrel for no reason, because of the little dad, they can deal with urgent matters calmly, they even seldom make mistakes, people always make mistakes Yes, but Shen Le discovered that once people can face things more rationally and calmly, they will make fewer mistakes. Shen Le has learned a lot from them. Now he is a veritable college student, and he has even begun to gradually take over For the charitable cause jointly launched by the two fathers, Shen Le has made careful and long-term plans for the future, but he still hopes that every achievement he makes has the support of his fathers behind him, or can be recognized or recognized by his fathers. Appreciate.

It turns out that no matter how old he is, he is still the child of Shen Xi and Zhou Yanyu. No matter how many things he does and how successful he will be in the future, he still only cares about making his parents happy and comforted.

Shen Le suddenly wanted to turn on his phone and send a message to his fathers far away, but he quickly let go of this thought. After all, he has grown up, and is no longer the age where he can act coquettishly and complain to his fathers at will, even if he I miss them very much and love them deeply, and I should learn to wait for them to come back.

Because they are a family, there will be a day of reunion.
