Baby

For the first time, Jiang Ye took the initiative to ask his mother about Tang Li.

Tang Daihe was a little surprised for a moment, but the expression on his face was soon replaced by joy.

"Did you ask Tang Li's original home?" Just after washing the dishes, Tang Daihe wiped his wet hands on his apron, looked at Jiang Ye and smiled, "Why do you suddenly ask?"

"I just feel..." Jiang Ye lowered his head, sighed, and suddenly stopped talking.

It was rare for Jiang Shaohui to get off work early today. After the family had dinner, he happily led the dog with one hand and Tang Li with the other for a walk, leaving Jiang Ye and Tang Daihe to look after the house.That is to say, when he found this vacancy, Jiang Ye took the opportunity to find his mother and asked this question that he had been struggling with these days.

Tang Daihe took off his apron and sat at the desk in Jiang Ye's room.Jiang Ye immediately obediently sat down beside her, knowing that her mother was about to start talking.

Tang Daihe was silent for a while, and said, "Tang Li... is a very unfortunate child. Before Tang Li took him home, his father also mentioned a few words to you about his previous growth environment. You should have a general impression, right? "

Jiang Ye nodded: "Yes. I know his biological father owed a lot of gambling debts, and his biological mother cared little about him..."

Tang Daihe raised his head, looking in the direction of Tang Li's room, wondering what he was thinking. "The marriage between Tang Li's mother and his father was not happy. Although Tang Li's mother married Tang Li's father, in the days that followed, they were like a pair of enemies who abused each other."

Jiang Ye immediately didn't understand, and raised doubts: "But if they don't love each other, why did they get married?"

Tang Daihe smiled helplessly, reached out and rubbed the top of his son's head.Just say: "In that environment, there are many helpless things."

Jiang Ye pondered Tang Daihe's words carefully, Tang Daihe smiled, and continued:

"Tang Li's mother married thousands of miles away, and lost all contact with her family. And Tang Li's father's relatives gradually cut off contact with Tang Li's family because of the huge gambling debt Tang Li's father owed. They It was only half a year ago that the family moved to the village where they lived before. When your father went to investigate this case, he visited many families in the village and found that Tang Li’s family was actually very distant from other villagers in the village. The villagers said that Tang Li's father was moody and addicted to gambling, and Tang Li's mother had a flawed personality, so everyone was unwilling to make friends with his family. Tang Li also had no friends of the same age to communicate with each other, so he It will become like it is now. For ordinary people, it is easy to talk and communicate, but Tang Li may need a lot of courage and good guidance from adults to complete."

Jiang Ye digested this passage for a long time, and then asked, "Mom, what happened to Tang Li's mother?"

Tang Daihe was silent for a while, and replied: "Tang Li's mother... In the words of the villagers, she is 'not abiding women'. Although Tang Li's mother is married to Tang Li's father, she is still dating several other men at the same time. Maintain an ambiguous relationship. In the countryside, this aspect of women is tabooed by almost everyone."

Jiang Ye was really taken aback.In his family, his mother and father are very affectionate.If you are married, shouldn't you be faithful to your significant other?

"why is it like this……"

"Although Tang Li's mother has some flaws, she really loves Tang Li. Every time Tang Li's father is violent, Tang Li's mother will always be the first to stand up and protect Tang Li..." Tang Daihe sighed "The villagers told your father something. One afternoon, Tang Li's father suddenly lifted Tang Li, who was still crying loudly, and stood on the roof of the bungalow, threatening to throw him down from here. Passing by The villagers were stunned, but no one dared to step forward to the muddy water. At the critical moment, it was Tang Li's mother who ran out quickly, hugged Tang Li's father by the waist, and stopped him from doing evil. Tang Li was rescued When they got down, Tang Li's mother was stripped naked by Tang Li's father in front of all the villagers, and after a severe beating, she was brutally humiliated."

Jiang Ye's eyes were full of shock, "It's disgusting! Why is there no one around to help?"

"Tang Li's father's behavior is very weird, maybe everyone is afraid that this accident will affect their own family..."

"But!" Jiang Ye was suddenly at a loss for words, "But, Tang Li is still so young! He will leave a shadow! Can't we call the police and arrest Tang Li's father?!"

Tang Daihe shook his head and said softly, "The police can't take care of housework."

What he heard so far has overturned everything Jiang Ye believed in the past.Jiang Ye swallowed angrily, but was dumbfounded and speechless.

"Tang Li is an unfortunate child, and his mother is probably the only one who will give him warmth. Although this mother is not a responsible mother. Tang Li's birth was not favored by his family, but it became a conflict between them. Tang Li suffered from cold violence and physical injury from his parents since he was a child. Tang Li’s mother was away from home most of the time, and when she came home occasionally, her temper was always cloudy and sunny, and she was hot and cold towards Tang Li. Most of the time , it was Tang Li and his father who stayed at home. His father was even worse. Drinking, gambling, and domestic violence day and night... Several times, Tang Li's father went out to gamble, and Tang Li almost starved to death at home alone. In the end, the well-meaning villagers secretly passed the food to Tang Li through the cracks in the window, and Tang Li was able to survive until now. In this way, he grew up in an environment with a serious lack of care. Even at the age of 7, there is no I was sent to study, and I didn’t even know some basic common sense of life.”

Jiang Ye felt very uncomfortable hearing it, as if he was the one suffering in the story.He couldn't understand why there were such irresponsible parents in the world, "Since you didn't want this child in the first place, why did you give birth to Tang Li again?!"

Tang Daihe sighed, still saying the same thing: "Jiang Ye, in that environment... there are many helpless things."

In a word, Jiang Ye couldn't breathe.

After school that day, Tang Li went to a familiar place to look for Tang Daihe, but unexpectedly found Jiang Ye standing alone with a schoolbag on his back.

Jiang Ye saw Tang Li coming out of the school gate, a smile immediately bloomed on his face, and he waved towards him: "Hi."

Tang Li blinked his beautiful big eyes twice, and looked at him puzzled.

Jiang Ye gave him a friendly smile: "I made an agreement with my mother. From today on, I don't need her to run back and forth between school and home every day. From now on, I will wait for you to go to and from school together."

Tang Li didn't seem to understand Jiang Ye's meaning, pursed his thin lips, but didn't utter a single syllable.

Jiang Ye scratched his head embarrassingly, and smiled apologetically at him: "You may still be a little afraid of me...I'm sorry for being so rude to you before. But from now on, I will be a good brother. Although we There is no blood relationship between them, but I already regard you as my younger brother, starting today, I will protect you!"

"Good brother" - this is an unfamiliar word for Tang Li.Tang Li's eyes were full of confusion, Jiang Ye smiled and patted his head, but at this moment, he felt faithfully that this little guy was really innocent and cute.

How did you think he was mean-spirited and mean-spirited before?In Jiang Ye's eyes, those little festivals before are just like the barbs of a trembling little hedgehog curled up to protect its soft body!

After chatting with his mother a few days ago, Jiang Ye lay on the bed and quietly deepened such a memory, and gradually all emotions were let go.His younger brother is not bad, he is just protecting himself subconsciously.As an older brother, he is also the only close peer around Tang Li, so he must teach him how to channel his emotions correctly, teach him how to love others, and adapt to being loved.

"You know, my mother said that a family brought together because of love is sometimes stronger and warmer than a family brought together because of blood relationship! Love will make people understand and care for each other."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye showed a bright smile on one side of his face, stretched out his hand, and wrapped Tang Li's slightly cold fingertips with his big warm palm: "Let's go, Tang Li. Let's go home together."

On the way home, Jiang Ye held little Tang Li with one hand, and suddenly felt a small burden called responsibility on his shoulders.In the past, when I went home with my friends, I would fight and fight, running red lights and jumping over fences.It's different now, he is like a little father-to-be, nervously protecting the child by his side, for fear of being bumped by others.Crossing the road is always trembling, even if you wait a second for the traffic lights.

While walking, Jiang Ye wanted to chat with Tang Li again: "Tang Li, why did you come out so late today? Did the teacher procrastinate?"

Tang Li didn't speak, Jiang Ye softened his voice and asked again.This time, Tang Li spoke hesitantly.The voice was small, causing the eyelashes to tremble slightly: "...I have been holding back, waiting to pee after school."

There was a bit of doubt on Jiang Ye's face, and he realized it later.It turned out that the last "peeing pants" incident had a great impact on Tang Li.If I had arrived one step later...

Jiang Ye's fist suddenly tightened, and then gradually let go after a few seconds... Jiang Ye eased his frowning, and gently exerted force on Tang Li's hand, which caused Tang Li to look up suspiciously. Jiang Ye.Jiang Ye smiled at him and said: "You can pee safely in the future, and you can pee whenever you want. My classroom is behind your teaching building, the innermost floor on the second floor. If you want to pee , come to my classroom to find me, and I will accompany you. With me protecting you, no one dares to come and bully you!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ye himself felt that what he said was a little funny.Tang Li pursed his lips and said nothing, with a confused expression.Probably didn't understand what he meant.

Jiang Ye was suddenly anxious: "Otherwise, I will go to your classroom to find you every class and accompany you to the bathroom!"

Tang Li still had no expression.There was silence for a long time, as if trying hard to understand Jiang Ye, but also as if he was in a daze thinking about something else.In the end, he frowned slightly, and only said, "... when shall we go home?"

Jiang Ye laughed a few times before realizing that he had stopped at some point and stood motionless in the middle of the road for a long time: "Uh...sorry, let's move on!"

It turned out that people only wanted to go home early and play with the dog!
