After school started, Jiang Ye put all his heart and soul into studying.There is still more than a year before the college entrance examination, it is time to show courage and give it a try.

Jiang Ye's hard work has also paid off.In the last final exam of the second year of high school, he got his wish and got the tenth place in the grade, which was a perfect ending.On the day when Jiang Shaohui and Tang Li went to pick Jiang Ye home from the holiday, Jiang Ye happily held the printed report card and sat in the car smiling from ear to ear.While driving, Jiang Shaohui hummed Jiang Ye's grades with a smile on his face: "125 in Chinese, 139 in English, 142 in mathematics, 260 in comprehensive science... Good, good!"

Jiang Ye was so excited that he hugged Tang Li, rubbed his hair into a mess, and showed a very happy expression on his face: "Tang Li, maybe I can really do it!"

Tang Li was also very happy, hugged by Jiang Ye, smiling brightly, as if he was the one who got the high score.

"After I finish the exam, I will hold a grand teacher appreciation banquet, set up a table of delicacies, and invite all my classmates and friends!" Jiang Ye fantasized happily, while looking at Tang Li, "Tang Li, when the time comes, you will be My special guest! Come on stage with my brother to speak, okay?"

The two brothers share weal and woe and share blessings.Jiang Shaohui leaned forward and back with laughter, but also loudly agreed.Tang Li had no concept in his mind, but when he heard "You are my special guest", he couldn't help feeling a burst of heartfelt joy, and nodded: "En!"

"Okay, that's it." Jiang Ye smiled and rolled his eyes, "It's an appointment!"

Jiang Shaohui drove the car and went to the bank to withdraw money to prepare for Jiang Ye's make-up examination fee for his third year of high school.When consulting at the front desk, Jiang Shaohui was looking for something in his bag, and couldn't move his hands for a while, so he gave Jiang Ye his bank card.

Tang Li stood aside, and suddenly asked, "Brother, is all our money in this card?"

Jiang Ye hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Almost. We still have a few cards in our family, but this card has the most money."

Tang Li nodded, and Jiang Ye saw that he was interested, so he gave him the bank card.Tang Li held the small card in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while.

When school starts again, Jiang Ye will be a candidate.During the summer vacation, Jiang Ye also worked very hard.Whenever I have free time, I invite a few friends to go to the city library together.Tang Li was also promoted to the second year of junior high school. Although the study pressure was not as intense as that of Jiang Ye, he was willing to go to the library with his brother occasionally, just to pass the time.

Before school started, the two brothers went to the supermarket together, bought some delicious snacks, and stocked them in Jiang Ye's student dormitory.

While pushing the shopping cart, Jiang Ye saw a mother passing by pushing the cart, and there was a babbling child sitting in the cart.Jiang Ye suddenly laughed, patted the armrest of the shopping cart playfully, and said to Tang Li, "Come on, sit on it and I'll push you."

Tang Li hesitated a bit: "I can't sit on it."

"Try it."

In the end, Tang Li still listened to his brother, and carefully stuffed himself into the shopping cart with his long legs, satisfying Jiang Ye's wicked taste.Jiang Ye pushed him all the way, like pushing a child.

When passing by the puffed food, Jiang Ye stopped by the shelf and asked Tang Li to take a bag of potato chips.Tang Li grabbed a pack of Jiang Ye's favorite brand, and asked, "Brother, when are you leaving tomorrow?"

Jiang Ye paused for a while: "It's 06:30 in the morning, otherwise I won't be able to make it to the roll call."

"Will you come back on Saturday after that?"

The study system in the third year of senior high school is very strict, and the rest time for students is only every Sunday afternoon.Hurrying home at noon, and rushing back to school before evening self-study, this back and forth was too hard, Jiang Ye thought that he might not go home on weekends at all, stay at school for self-study, and go home once a month to get something.

Jiang Ye shook his head, Tang Li's expression was soon filled with disappointment.Jiang Ye smiled helplessly and said, "It's like this when the college entrance examination is coming soon. You will also experience it in the future. Follow the rules to go to university, find a job, get married and have children..."

Tang Li suddenly said: "Looking for a job..."

"Ok?"

"Brother, what kind of job are you going to find in the future?" Tang Li looked at Jiang Ye, "Same as Dad, will you be a policeman?"

Jiang Ye smiled: "No. In fact, I haven't thought about it carefully... But I should go to work in the company, find a city and settle down, and be an ordinary salaryman."

Tang Li looked thoughtful, and Jiang Ye asked him with interest: "What about you? Tang Li, what do you want to do in the future?"

Tang Li was silent for a while, and said: "Then I—— will be just like you. I will go to university and become an office worker. I also want...to buy a house next to your house, and we can meet every weekend in the future."

Jiang Ye burst out laughing, and then agreed: "Okay, then just work hard to earn money in the future and buy a small villa in the suburbs. My family lives on the first floor and yours lives on the second floor. Everyone lives together. How lively it is!"

Tang Li was taken aback for a moment, turned around from the shopping cart, looked at Jiang Ye: "Aren't we a family?"

"Cough, yes," Jiang Ye was taken aback by the question, and replied with a smile, "It's just that we will have our own families in the future. But parents, we, will always be a family."

Tang Li nodded his head half-understood, and there was something hidden in his eyes.

After Jiang Ye started school, the number of times he went home became once a month.As a result, Tang Daihe and Tang Li came to school to visit Jiang Ye more frequently.The days are peaceful and full of hope.

But no one thought that on this day, a sudden accident would inevitably break their peaceful life.

On this day, Jiang Shaohui was dealing with a case in the office when the landline on his desk suddenly rang.

It was his work phone, the number on his personal business card.Jiang Shaohui didn't think much about it, he just thought he had a new job and connected the phone casually.

But as the hoarse female voice on the other end of the phone kept ringing, Jiang Shaohui's mood became more and more serious.

Until the female voice uttered a word, Jiang Shaohui's expression froze completely.

"……What did you say?"
