Baby

Tang Daihe locked the door of the house, only told Jiang Shaohui that he was "in a bad mood", and did not see any of Tang Li and Jiang Ye.She didn't eat much, and she didn't water the flowers very much. She just lay on the bed melancholy every day, reading some weird books occasionally.

Jiang Shaohui was full of doubts, but he felt distressed seeing his wife like this, so he asked the two brothers in private for questioning.Tang Li and Jiang Ye were extremely embarrassed, and they only said that they had some differences with their mother, so don't worry, they will handle it well.

Jiang Shaohui thought for a long time, and only said: Okay, you can solve it yourself first, and I will not intervene.But after the matter is over, you have to tell me what is the reason for the unhappiness between you mother and child.

Jiang Ye and Tang Li looked at each other and sighed, they both knew in their hearts that this was a protracted battle.

Week after week, Tang Li couldn't sleep at night, so he went to Jiang Ye's room in the dark, only to see that Jiang Ye was also searching for information on the Internet, frowning, with a sad expression on his face.

"Brother." Tang Li called out, and then sat down next to Jiang Ye.When Jiang Ye saw him coming, he habitually stretched out a hand and held him in his arms.

"why are not you sleeping?"

"Can't sleep." Tang Li was silent for a while, and then said, "Brother, that day... thank you."

Jiang Ye paused, put down the computer, and smiled, "Thank me for what?"

Tang Li's face turned red: "..."

Jiang Ye smiled, lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek. "Actually, when I was with you, I never thought of keeping this matter from my parents. It's just that I didn't expect this day to come so fast and so suddenly. Maybe, in a different situation, in a different state, Mom will It's easier to accept it..."

"Mom must be very sad..." Tang Li's eyes darkened, he bit his lip, "Brother—I don't know. Did we do something wrong?"

Jiang Ye also fell silent.It seemed that he recalled a little bit of the past, and his face was a little more melancholy.After a while, Jiang Ye sighed and said, "Our family has lived together for more than 20 years. Tang Li, you have to have some confidence in your parents. If one month is not enough, then half a year. If half a year is not enough, then a year."

Tang Li stopped talking.Jiang Ye said the latter, suddenly turned over and sat up, facing Tang Li, staring into his eyes, and said to him seriously: "Tang Li, this time, brother will never throw you away again." I'm leaving you. You have to believe that neither will your parents. We are always a family, okay?"

Tang Li's eyes turned red, and he trembled, tears streaming down his face.Jiang Ye smiled and gently wiped away his tears with his fingers, and a comforting good night kiss fell on the corner of his lips.

"Good night, baby."

On a rest day, Jiang Shaohui took a nap.Jiang Ye and Tang Li came to their parents' house, opened the door with a spare key, and found Tang Daihe half leaning on the balcony with a confused face, staring at the clouds in the sky in a daze.

When Jiang Ye stepped forward, Tang Daihe immediately sensed the movement sensitively. Her expression changed, she stood up abruptly, and quickly walked into the room.

"Mom!" Tang Li couldn't help shouting, and then chased after him with Jiang Ye.

Tang Daihe hid in the study, reaching out to close the door.Jiang Ye quickly used his body to get stuck in the crack of the door, but Tang Daihe had already used all his strength.Jiang Ye groaned in pain when the door was pressed down, and Tang Daihe tremblingly let go of his hand in fright.

Tang Li aimed at this gap, and immediately blocked the door with his hands, and the two brothers squeezed in.

Jiang Ye was still clutching his chest, grinning in pain.Tang Daihe's face turned black and white, but because of guilt, he was no longer as decisive as before.

When the three of them were in a stalemate, Tang Li suddenly took a step forward slowly, and knelt down in front of Tang Daihe with a "plop".

Tang Daihe froze for a moment, and the air suddenly froze.

Tang Li hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth again.

"Mom, you gave me the name 'Tang Li'. I will never forget it in my life." Tang Li held back his tears and said with a sob, "When I was seven years old, you gave me a second life. My The time was so dark, but you still haven't given up on me. That's why I'm what I am now."

Jiang Ye's nose was sore, Tang Liman gave him a grateful glance, then turned his head to look at Tang Daihe again, and said seriously:

"So, Mom, I have something in my heart that I want to tell you no matter what."

"Since I can remember, I've always liked boys. I'm a homosexual through and through, and I can't change that." Tang Li lowered his head deeply, and his voice became weaker and softer after speaking, "Mom... I'm sorry, I let you You are disappointed."

Tang Li's series of actions silenced everyone.After an unknown amount of time, Tang Daihe narrowed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.When he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse.

"What if I have to let you separate?"

Tang Daihe hadn't talked to them once for almost half a month, and today he opened his mouth with such decisive words.Jiang Ye and Tang Li's heart groaned, and they looked at each other, their eyes filled with sadness.

"Even if you are kicked out of the house," Tang Daihe stared at Tang Li closely, "do you still want to stay with Jiang Ye?"

Tang Li was startled, and Jiang Ye shouted in shock: "Mom! What are you talking about?"

Tang Daihe's eyes still followed Tang Li's every movement closely.Tang Li was still kneeling on the ground, with his head lowered very low.

Jiang Ye acted like he was frightened, and hurried to Tang Daihe to intercede: "Mom, don't be joking, Tang Li finally got home...Mom, didn't you love him the most before?"

Tang Daihe remained unmoved, his scrutinizing eyes still fell on Tang Li's face.Jiang Ye was stunned, his head was numb, and his thoughts were all muddled.

Then, Jiang Ye took a step back and knelt beside Tang Li with a "plop".

This time, Tang Li was also shocked.His face turned red and then turned pale. He pulled Jiang Ye's arm and reminded him anxiously, "Brother!"

"Mom, you also know..." Jiang Ye held back his sour tears, "How difficult it is for Tang Li to live alone outside these years. He finally returned home, and it's time to enjoy family happiness. Mom , please, stop being angry. You're scaring us."

Tang Daihe's eye sockets were also a little moist. She turned her head and gently wiped her eyes with her arm.But when she looked back, she pursed her lips again, but her expression didn't waver at all.

The brothers knew that this time, their mother was really serious.

Tang Li closed his eyes and opened them again.Finally, he said slowly: "Mom. I will always cherish the kindness you and dad have given me. In the days to come, I will redouble my efforts to repay it. Even...not as your son. "

Like five thunderbolts, Jiang Ye did not expect Tang Li to actually say the words out of his mouth.His determination left everyone present dumbfounded.Jiang Ye looked at Tang Li's tense side face, all the helplessness, guilt, and anger mixed together, and finally melted into the air.

"Actually, Mom," Tang Li smiled softly as he spoke, "It doesn't matter who I am, does it? When I was seven years old, I wasn't your own son, but you compared me to your own son. You are very kind to me. And now, even if you don't want my son anymore, in my heart, you will always be my favorite mother. "

Tang Daihe's tears kept pouring out of her eyes until she could hardly see Tang Li's face clearly, so she stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes hard.She choked with sobs, but her eyes still refused to move away from Tang Li's face: "Is this why you chose Jiang Ye? Tang Li."

"No," Tang Li knelt on the ground, moved his knees to Tang Daihe's feet in embarrassment, raised his face to look at his mother with tears in his eyes, "I chose you, but I don't want to give up brother. You are all in my life." The most important person, I don’t want to be separated from you all my life. Mom, I love you, I love Dad, and I love brother. You are all my family, and I will always love you—”

Tang Daihe finally couldn't hold back anymore.She stretched out her arms and hugged Tang Li's neck tightly, holding her son in her arms, weeping uncontrollably.

Jiang Ye also got up and stepped forward, the three of them hugged each other, and the warm flame seemed to be burning quietly.

Tang Daihe's eyes were also swollen from crying, and he was out of breath.Tang Li quickly patted her on the back to let her breathe.In fact, when she said those unfeeling words, her pain was not shallower than that of any of them.

After crying, the emotions gradually calmed down.After finally getting the answer in his heart from the mouths of the two children, the expression on Tang Daihe's face finally turned into a touch of helplessness.

"What a silly boy," Tang Daihe stretched out two hands, stroking Tang Li's cheek with one hand, and Jiang Ye's with the other, his eyes were full of distress, "There are so many roads in the world, you just chose the most difficult one." go..."

Tang Li's eyes were red.Jiang Ye smiled and held his hand, looked at Tang Daihe and said gently, "Mom, because there are family members here. Because of you as our backing, Tang Li and I can be fearless."

Tang Daihe laughed through his tears, and after a while, he seemed to fall into a sigh of nostalgia.

"You guys remind me of me and your father when we were young."

"dad?"

Tang Daihe patted the children's backs, "Okay, stop kneeling, your knees should hurt. Find a stool and sit down."

After Jiang Ye and Tang Li sat down, Tang Daihe began to recall her and her husband's youth bit by bit.A calm smile could not help but hang on his face.

"Your father and I met when we were in college. At that time, it was not easy to get into a university. I am a child of a scholarly family, but your father grew up in a rural area, and life was very difficult. In their small village, There may be only one college student in a few generations. But he just wanted to fight. At that time, he was upright, brave, and able to endure hardships. He had no money, so he worked everywhere, just to give me a pair of beautiful sandals."

"After graduating from university, we talked about getting married. At that time, my parents were very opposed to it, but I insisted on going my own way. I even stole the household registration book against my parents' wishes and went to marry him without looking back. My father At that time, my mother was so angry that she didn't come to me for several years. This is the most rebellious thing I have ever done in my life, but also the least regretful thing."

Tang Li and Jiang Ye listened carefully to Tang Daihe's story.This is the first time that Tang Daihe took the initiative to bring up his love affair with Jiang Shaohui.They also didn't know that their mother, who was always gentle and elegant, would be so crazy for love when she was young.

Tang Li and Jiang Ye smiled, and the hands they held couldn't help but tighten a bit.

"He was still a poor boy at that time, so I didn't want anything, just to be with him. But when we were together, we also suffered a lot of criticism..." Tang Daihe's expression couldn't help dimming, "People of that era, I am still very conservative in my thinking. My behavior of "marrying" was labeled as indecent. Some people even slandered me, saying that we were "conceived before marriage". There were all kinds of ugly words. At that time, My parents didn't support our love. I almost collapsed."

The expressions of the two brothers tightened, and they couldn't help looking at Tang Daihe with a little more concern.Tang Daihe was silent for a few seconds, and after a while, his tone gradually softened again.

"But fortunately, I didn't choose the wrong person."

"Jiang Ye, Tang Li, your father is really a good person. He is a good husband and a good father. After all these years, he is still as upright, kind, and responsible as he was when he was young... so I have been really happy for many years." Tang Daihe smiled, recalling the beautiful past, and the expression on his face couldn't help but become gentle, "When the most difficult days pass, your father has been admitted to the civil service. I became a people's policeman. My parents finally let go. Then, we had Jiang Ye. When I brought Tang Li home, I wanted to change his name to 'Jiang Li'. But he But he insisted on letting Tang Li follow my surname."

Tang Li and Jiang Ye smiled at the same time.Listening to my mother's affection quietly like this, even a hundred times, I won't get tired of it.

In the end, the memory is over.Tang Daihe's eyes regained clarity.She carefully looked at the faces of the two children, and whispered softly: "No matter what, I don't want you, and I have experienced the same suffering as I did back then. You are my sons after all. In the eyes of the world, this road is not It's not easy to go. Similarly, even as a mother, I need... some time to accept, can you understand me?"

"Yes." Tang Li and Jiang Ye hugged their mother tightly, "Thank you, Mom."

That way, that's enough.

They grow up, and the mother grows old.Tang Daihe was in their arms, with such a small body.And no matter how gray her hair is and how faltering her steps are, she always stretches out her hands firmly, trying to protect her sons.No matter how old the children grow, they will always be their own sons.

"Mom," Jiang Ye whispered in Tang Daihe's ear, "We will be very happy. Because we have a family, we are a family forever."
