Drug addiction

Tong Yu looked up at the scorching sun hanging above his head, pursed the corners of his lips in displeasure, turned his head to look at Tong Mama, who was blushing, and then decisively grabbed her arm and dragged her to the willow tree behind her ...

Tong's mother understood Tong Yu's intentions, so she wiped away the fine sweat on his forehead with a tissue in her hand, then sighed softly and said, "I told you not to come, this time is the hottest..."

Tong Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Tong's mother, but his tone was full of joy, "Yan Yan asked me several times, when can I pick her up from the kindergarten, and I just came back for dinner today, I'm afraid if I don't come, she will angry..."

"That little girl can't bear to be angry with you. She talks about her Brother Xiaoyu all day long..." Tong's mother handed the bear biscuit to Tong Yu, then shook her head lightly, her tone full of helplessness. Full of relief, "I'll call you if I have anything to do now, even your dad is left out..."

Tong Yu's slightly raised eyebrows expressed joy, and when she lowered her eyelids, she said in a proud but natural tone, "I'm her brother, so she should stick to me..."

Mother Tong frowned after hearing this, licked her lips as if thinking, and then responded thoughtfully, "This sentence...Ziqian also said..."

Tong Yu was taken aback, and suppressed the hot flashes in his heart and took a peek at Tong's mother. In fact, he knew in his heart that Tong's mother didn't mean any insinuations, but when Yan Ziqian flashed across his mind, he smiled slightly. At the time of his handsome face, Tong Yu's quiet little face, which was engraved with time, was still blushing...

Seeing that Tong Yu didn't speak, and then looking at the expression on his face that highly matched the word 'shy', Tong's mother lightly pursed her lips and couldn't hide her smile, but she sighed unexpectedly when she looked away , and then cautiously asked, "I heard Ziqian tell your dad that you went to see grandpa yesterday?"

"Hmm..." The shy expression on Tong Yu's face disappeared instantly, and after nodding slightly to give Tong's mother an affirmative response, he pursed his lips and continued with some hesitation, "Grandpa is leaving." I didn't come back at that time, and I have been thinking about this matter in my heart..."

Mama Tong took a panoramic view of Tong Yu's sad face that was covered in an instant, seeing that there seemed to be a little bit of guilt mixed with his slightly furrowed brows, Mama Tong pursed her lips and sighed, then stretched out her hand gently Holding his wrist, he comforted him calmly, "Before your grandfather left, he was always thinking about you. He didn't suffer any crimes, and he was very peaceful when he left..."

Tong Yu's mother's off-track response words got into Tong Yu's ears, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile that seemed to contain a bit of joking, her always drooping eyelids were filled with soreness, and she exhaled hard to relieve the depression in her heart, But the heart full of worries is still heavy...

Because Tong Yu was the last person to know the news of Grandpa Yan's death...

He understood that no one wanted to hide it deliberately, but when he heard the news and was told that Grandpa Yan had died, the heart in his chest, which had always been held in his hand, instantly felt unbearable pain...

Until now, he still clearly remembers the scene when he met Grandpa Yan for the last time, that struggle full of stubbornness and tears, was full of bloody smell...

The faint scar left on his left shoulder may be the unique intersection between him and Grandpa Yan in this life...

Mama Tong sighed softly facing Tong Yu who had bit her lips between her teeth in an instant, turned sideways to face his cheeks that had dispelled all expressions, raised her eyebrows and eyes expectantly, and her eyes were filled with heartache "Tong Yu, stop blaming grandpa..."

After hearing this, Tong Yu's first reaction was surprise. He suddenly remembered what Yan Ziqian had said to him at the grave of his grandparents yesterday, and the corners of his lips were instantly raised in confusion, and even his frowning Nor was it spared...

"Why do you all think that I will blame Grandpa?" Without any hesitation, Tong Yu laid out the doubts in his heart under the scorching sun, and looked straight at the obvious doubts on Mama Tong's face covered with traces of time, and shook his head gently Then he continued in a helpless tone, "Grandpa was indeed the one who played a decisive role in the matter between Yan Ziqian and me, but in the final analysis the culprit in that matter is... Liu Lin, who was with Grandpa It doesn't matter at all, can I blame grandpa?"

Mother Tong was naturally taken aback by Tong Yu's tone, her heart full of guesses and doubts hadn't calmed down yet, she opened her mouth and didn't know how to respond, she didn't expect her hesitant expression Her appearance has long been seen by her son...

The furrowed eyebrows were mixed with a little bit of anger, but the corners of Tong Yu's slightly raised mouth were still filled with teasing. Facing the unbelievable look in Tong's mother's eyes, he added with deep meaning, " In fact, what happened back then was an opportunity for me. I could only choose between Yan Ziqian and Yan Ziqian. The beautiful eyes are full of firm light, because no matter whether Mama Tong believes in him or not, she has to pretend to be calm to the end, "How good it is now, I have got both the fish and the bear's paw. Qian is mine now, although five years have been wasted, but I think it's worth it..."

'does it worth? '

Tong Yu asked himself, asked his heart over and over again in the past five years, for Tong's mother, for Yan Ziqian, for everyone, and of course for himself, he hid the pre-set answers in his heart , time and again firm to the point of deep-rooted no doubt, just to not let myself regret the original decision, just to tell myself that all this is worth it...

Mother Tong didn't understand the meaning of the specious smile on Tong Yu's face, but the sourness rubbed between her eyebrows made her heart tremble suddenly, she immediately looked away, frowned fiercely and restrained herself. Guilt surged from the bottom of her heart, and a stiff smile filled her cheeks. As if eager to end this topic, Mama Tong said in a very simple and clear way, "It's good that you think so..."

Tong Yu understood what Tong's mother meant by the gentle words of comfort, and knew that she saw through her white lies in an instant, but Tong Yu didn't intend to explain further, let alone continue this topic. When he decided to leave, he had a long talk with Tong's mother. I believe that Tong's mother knew the real reason for his departure. At that time, no matter how firm Tong's mother was, she couldn't win Tong Yu, and now he is already After returning to my lover, there is no need to mention those old things full of bitterness...

Tong's mother never dared to look at Tong Yu's small face when she withdrew her eyes. She just lowered her head slightly like a child who has done something wrong. When Tong Yu's phoenix eyes were wandering across her face, her eyes were instantly dodged and retreated as if burned, she frowned and shook her head lightly, but every frown was full of sadness...

Five years later, Mama Tong's heart knot has never been untied. Like Papa Yan, she attributed all the tragic experiences of the two children to herself...

For Tong Yu, Mama Tong's gaze was too familiar, and it was not the first time he had seen that expression of hesitation, she flattened the corners of her mouth, and a peaceful smile was written on her face, he gently rubbed against her. Tong's side, and then wrapped her thin shoulders coquettishly and said very calmly, "Mom, let's not talk about this. For me, the most important thing is now, at this moment, at this very moment... .”

Tong Yu's words seemed to have given Tong's mother encouragement, and she finally dared to turn her head to look at him. The happiness spread on her cheeks was obvious, and the slightly raised corners of her lips were full of victory. Yes, it has been five years The fight against Tong Yu and Yan Ziqian is undoubtedly the winning side, and the facts have proved that the two of them are also fully worthy of this arrogant winning posture...

"Tong Yu..." Mama Tong held Tong Yu's hand hanging by her side with anticipation in her tone, and lightly pursed the corners of her lips, trying to restrain her impending collapse. Her eyes were full or Tears of joy or distress, through the sparkling ripples, still looking at Tong Yu who will be calm and full of face, and then the lips and teeth are also earnest, "If you don't want to talk about the past, let's not talk about it, mom or In that sentence, Mom hopes that you can live out your own self, be carefree, free from disasters, illnesses and disasters, and be with Ziqian well, this is what Mom wants to see the most..."

He must be shy. After hearing what Mama Tong said, Tong Yu instinctively withdrew her watery eyes, puffed her cheeks to soothe her emotions, and then complained a little, "We are fine, but he is too busy." It's gone..." As soon as he finished speaking, his drooping eyelids instantly raised, and then he looked at Tong's mother again with doubts in his eyes and asked, "Mom, has Yan Ziqian been so busy these few years?"

"Yes, I've always been so busy. I've been so busy since the second year you left..." Mama Tong still held Tong Yu's hand, her expression of distress and bitterness was clearly visible on her face, followed by a helpless tone. It also filled her lips. "After 'Hou Yu' was established, he became even busier. Sometimes he didn't see anyone for ten days and a half months..."

Speaking of 'Hou Yu', Tong Yu became interested in an instant, he licked his lips lightly as if thinking, and then he opened his mouth cautiously, but it was still not difficult to hear the temptation, "Mom, how did Yan Ziqian get his first business deal? What kind of project did he do?"

"How does this mom know? He told your dad about the project, but mom doesn't understand..." Tong's mother took it for granted in her tone, she looked away from Tong Yu's doubtful little face, and then lightly Sighing lightly, he continued to respond, "Mom only knows that he stayed in the south for those few months, and he didn't even come back on New Year's Day. There was no news at all for a while. I can't get in touch with your dad. He can only be anxious. I dare not tell you, let alone your grandfather, we both suffer from insomnia every day, and almost called the police..."

Tong Yu quietly listened to Tong's mother confiding, and when she frowned slightly, she urged impatiently, "What about later?"

"Later, I don't know which Bodhisattva worshiped the right one, but he came back suddenly..." Mama Tong said playfully, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Tong Yu's cheeks filled with incredible writing, but after chuckling, her eyes were still full He added worriedly, "I still came back with the money. He and Xie Lei started to prepare for the company after the end of that year. Hou Yu got better and better, and he became more and more busy. It didn’t take long for him to buy a house and move out. Your dad and I couldn’t see him anymore. It’s not uncommon for him to go home for dinner, but he was pushed away because of something. Later, I couldn’t help it, so I just told your dad. Go directly to his company to find him. If he doesn't come back, we will wait for him in his office. It's just cheating. The previous few times his secretary thought that your father and I were collecting debts..."

Mama Tong's words made Tong Yu laugh instantly, he pursed his lips and lowered his eyelids, the smile on his lips was still there, but the heart wrapped in sadness was dripping with rain...

Seeing that Tong Yu kept her head down and did not speak, Tong's mother lightly raised her eyebrows and looked at his bitter little face, and then continued in a calm but earnest tone, "Tong Yu, Ziqian's mother has been watching him for five years." Here, it's really not easy for him, so don't let him down..."

'To live up to? '

Tong Yu stared at the obvious worry in Mama Tong's eyes and frowned fiercely. Maybe Mama Tong's words had no practical meaning, but Tong Yu could hear the taste of warning between the lines...

Questions filled his mind in an instant, Tong Yu piled up his grievances all over his face, and explained with a little anger to Mama Tong's seemingly clichéd words, "I know he has had a hard time in the past five years, but who has had a hard time?" Is it easy? He is not the only one suffering, so don't worry about it, we are really fine now..."

But Tong's mother was not satisfied with Tong Yu's answer, she pursed her mouth into a line, and then said something like a reminder, "Mom didn't mean now..."

"Not now?" Tong Yu didn't understand anymore, he licked his lips, let the question between his brows act recklessly, lightly blinked his phoenix eyes in thought, then raised his voice a little decibel but it was still full of voices. The meaning of the explanation is to respond "I didn't let him down five years ago..."

"Then what about the past five years?" Mama Tong chose to speak out the doubts in her heart this time. She tilted her head and looked at Tong Yu, the loving expression on her face had long since disappeared, and even the reasonable anger was gone. nothing seen...

Tong Yu was still frowning fiercely, there seemed to be a little guilt between the raised brows, he licked his lips lightly to ease his emotions, he knew that he could not escape Mama Tong's questioning nor Mama Tong's sharp eyes. When passing through his mind, he still pretended to be stupid as if putting all his eggs in one basket, "What do you mean?"

Tong's mother knew her child too well, and his reaction at this moment was precisely because of timidity, and the ensuing fear was also obvious. Seeing Tong Yu's forced calm expression and the thieves scurrying around in his eyes, Eyeballs fluttering, Tong's mother was even more sure of her conjecture...

Still staring at Tong Yu's slightly panicked face, Tong's mother had no intention of letting him go, she cleared her throat and lowered the volume on purpose, and then asked straight to the point, "Tong Yu, why did you stay in Los Angeles longer?" A year?"

"This..." Tong Yu thought that Tong's mother would ask this question, but in fact, regarding his fifth year in Los Angeles, only his aunt who settled in Los Angeles and himself knew the reason in this world... .

Seeing that Tong Yu didn't intend to respond positively at all, Tong's mother sighed hard, worry and doubt mixed into those clear eyes, her tone was still full of concerns, but it was not hard to hear the questioning taste, "Tong Yu, when you left Mom can see how painful it is. It stands to reason that once the four years are up, you will definitely return to China immediately after completing your studies, but why did you stay in Los Angeles for an extra year? What does this year mean to you? Understand? For you, nothing is more important than Ziqian, but what is the reason for this year? Mom has searched all the possible answers in her mind but can't convince herself. Can you give mom a reasonable explanation? ?”

Tong Yu's pursed lips are not difficult to see the taste of guilty conscience, he lowered his eyelids and pondered quietly, not trying to prevaricate, he was just a little wronged, some things he wanted to ignore were simply beyond his control...

Raising his eyes, he didn't look at Tong Mama, but extended his gaze to the front, knowing that the person staring at him in front of him was waiting for a satisfactory answer, but this answer was cruel, not cruel to him, but to treat him far away. Relatives in a foreign land are cruel...

Finally, he didn't want to prevaricate but had to say the words of prevarication...

I don't know whether it's fear or sadness, Tong Yu forced his trembling heart to calm down, and then he pretended to be indifferent and responded, "There are so many reasons, I stayed in Los Angeles for an extra year just to exercise Accumulate some social experience by myself, the work intensity and pressure in the United States is great, it is good for a newcomer like me, and it is not ashamed to return to China when I can really be on my own..."

"Don't make those excuses to perfuse me..." Mama Tong ruthlessly exposed Tong Yu's not-so-sophisticated lies without leaving any room for them. Seeing her son who refused to tell the truth, she was helpless. She sighed hard as her chest was filled with helplessness, and then added in an extremely helpless tone, "Have you confessed to your aunt? Your answer is the same as your aunt's." Mine are exactly the same, I don't know what happened to you in Los Angeles this year, and I don't know why the two of you are so unified, but one thing I can be sure of, you two must have something to hide from me... "

"Yes, it is true that there is something to hide from you, but I dare say that you are willing to listen to it..."

After Tong Yu thought about this sentence in his heart, he knew that it was useless to blindly prevaricate. Tong's mother had been hearing and seeing all her life, could she be fooled by his obvious lies?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help scolding himself in his heart, he was really stupid and naive...

Pursing the corners of his lips and sighing, Tong Yu hid the last trace of indifference from the corners of his eyes, and then injected some seriousness into his perfunctory words, "Mom, no matter how you ask me, I can't tell you. I care, so don't ask, but I can assure you that the reason for my stay in Los Angeles for a year is not because of money, nor has anything to do with the law, and I have not betrayed Yan Ziqian..."

It was rare for Mother Tong to hear such a straightforward response from Tong Yu's mouth. Her eyes were filled with surprise, she swallowed her saliva, and even the corners of her lips were pursed into a line. She didn't argue with Tong Yu any more. Because this kind of result is what she expected a long time ago...

Seeing that Tong's mother didn't speak, she was just sullen, Tong Yu had a flattering smile on her lips, and the words that slipped out of her mouth softened a lot, "Don't be angry, I will tell you when it's time for you to know." ..."

"Give me a deadline, can you tell me before I close my eyes?"

"Uh..." Tong Yu wrinkled her nose in thought, and then threw a sentence to Tong's mother like adding fuel to the fire, "I hope you can live a long life..."

"When did you become so poor?" Tong's mother frowned tightly after hearing Tong Yu's words, her eyes were filled with obvious doubts but she was slightly delighted, she was not even sure who the person talking to herself was. Tong Yu or Yan Ziqian...

The smile on Tong Yu's cheeks grew stronger. Seeing that Tong's mother didn't intend to continue asking about this matter, he sighed lightly to relax and prepared to test it a little...

"Mom, you just said that I colluded with my aunt, so have you called her recently?"

Mother Tong squinted at Tong Yu, and then responded with her nose, "Mmm..."

"Then how is my auntie? Are you in good condition?" Tong Yu planned to give himself a slap after asking this sentence, he was so stupid, isn't this place without money...

But Mother Tong didn't seem to notice the strangeness in Tong Yu's questioning words, she just tilted her head and slightly pursed the corners of her lips, but slightly raised her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, "The condition is not bad, but why is she getting thinner and thinner?"

After hearing Tong's mother's response, Tong Yu lowered her eyelids as a matter of course, full of worry and self-evident, but still pretended to be casual and said comforting words, "She has been clamoring to lose weight for three days, this time she must have succeeded in losing weight. ..."

"What kind of weight loss, she's skinny..." Mother Tong's words were full of complaints, and she sighed slightly to show worry, and then continued in a worried tone, "She's 40 years old, really Planning to stay in Los Angeles for the rest of your life? She and your little uncle don’t have any children, so what should you do if you get sick or have a disaster? You can’t quench your thirst if you’re far away, so you can’t wait for something to happen..."

"But... my aunt said that she has no plans to return to China for the time being..." Tong Yu will inform Tong's mother of the countermeasures discussed with his aunt early in the morning according to the plan...

"Your grandma has nagged me a lot because of this matter, and wants me to persuade your aunt to return to China. The key point is that your aunt is born with ideas. How could she easily listen to me..." Mother Tong said with a little anger There was a lot of helplessness in it, she sighed softly, and after enjoying a moment of silence, she suddenly added a sentence full of relief, "Fortunately, your little uncle is a reliable man, otherwise your grandma and I would really have to Worried to death..."

Tong Yu listened to Tong's mother's word for word, and suddenly lowered his eyelids, there was no superfluous expression on his face, only the remaining smile on his lips was full of jokes...

'Reliable man? '

Maybe everyone has different definitions and standards for these words, but judging from what Tong Yu has seen and heard in Los Angeles in the past few years, the reliable man that Tong's mother said is really bad. It's interesting, at least, he is incomparable to Yan's father who is "frying the kitchen" with Yan Ziqian at home at this moment...

The smile at the corner of his mouth became even more serious, which was an expression that had never appeared on Tong Yu's face before. He gradually pursed his lips to hide the unexplained smile, and the moment he frowned and thought, Fei Yang's thoughts were filled with surprise shouts The sound pulls back to reality...

Tong Yu followed the source of the sound and saw the little baby who had just crossed the road throwing off the teacher's hand and running towards him...

"Brother Xiaoyu..." Tong Yan, who was wearing denim overalls shorts, was full of joy, her long black hair shone with a distinctive luster under the scorching summer sun, flying along with the rhythm of her running amidst laughter... .

The moment Tong Yu saw Tong Yan, he put all his bad emotions behind him, a smile instantly filled his face, he symbolically waved at Tong Yan, and after hanging his arms by his side, At the moment, the clingy little doll has come to him...

"Brother Xiaoyu, you're finally here to pick up Yanyan..." Tong Yan hugged Tong Yu's thigh without any scruples and raised his head to look at him, his face filled with joy was harmless to humans and animals...

Tong Yu looked down at her, stroked her hair that was blown away by the wind, and then put the bear biscuit in her hand in front of her, "Here..."

"Thank you brother Xiaoyu, Yanyan likes bear biscuits the most..." Tong Yan murmured and took the biscuits in his hand, but at this moment, the undeceptive gaze did not stay on Tong Yu at all ...

Tong Yu pursed his lips but could not see any displeasure at all. He rubbed the back of Tong Yan's head, and then asked softly, "How are you? Are you good in kindergarten today? Did you bully other children?"

"I didn't bully other kids, Yan Yan is very good today..." Tong Yan cast his eyes from the bear biscuit back to Tong Yu's scrutinizing face, waited for two seconds and then suddenly came "Yanyan guessed that brother Xiaoyu would come to pick up Yanyan from school today, so he was obedient all day long, neither mischievous nor lost his temper..."

"So obedient..." Tong Yu's slender fingers picked her fine hair twice, and then tapped her flushed face to reward...

"Hmm..." Tong Yan nodded, Shui Lingling's eyes were not so pure, he gently pinched the bear biscuit packaging bag with his fingers, and then continued to please, "Brother Xiaoyu, you will come every day from now on. Kindergarten accepting Yanyan, okay? This way Yanyan can be very obedient every day, and can have bear biscuits to eat every day..."

Tong Yu didn't expect a four-year-old doll to have such an idea. His eyes were full of disbelief with the corners of his lips crooked, and then he pinched the tip of her nose harshly as if punishing him "You really deserve to grow up on the back of the big bad guy, little chicken thief..."

Tong Yan covered his nose, but the smile on his face didn't diminish at all. He turned to look at Teacher Xiao Huan who was chatting with Tong's mother. She rolled her eyes, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or not, so she pulled Tong Yu's finger for fear that she would listen. Tell me "Mr. Xiaohuan, this is my brother Xiaoyu..."

Teacher Xiao Huan looked at Tong Yu with a perfect smile on her face, raised her eyebrows, and said a little shyly when she nodded her head, "I thought Yan Yan's big bad brother would come to pick her up..."

Mother Tong naturally knew the meaning of what the girl in front of her said, so she didn't intend to respond to her naked gestures...

But that villain from the old talker doesn't think so...

He took Teacher Xiaohuan's words in an instant, and Tong Yan still looked at her with that arrogant expression and responded, "It's the same when my elder brother Xiaoyu came to pick me up. Teacher Xiaohuan, you don't know, right? Brother Xiaoyu is the daughter-in-law of the villain..."

After Tong Yu heard Tong Yan's words, he almost died on the spot. He looked at the doubt that instantly rose to Teacher Xiao Huan's cheek, and then cast his eyes on the innocent troublemaker in front of him, and then quickly threw her away. Holding her in her arms, she looked at Mama Tong with her blushing little face and said, "Mom, I'll take her back first..." After finishing speaking, she turned around and ran away...

Tong's mother looked away from Tong Yu's back, she ignored Teacher Xiao Huan's embarrassing expression, she lowered her head slightly and smiled without saying a word...

It is said that there are no taboos in children's words, but Lao Yanjia, a villain, does not have those simple thoughts, or that sentence, only God knows whether she intends to or not...
