Baby

Tang Daihe came out of the vegetable market and returned home with a bag of vegetables. He was about to wash the vegetables and cook, but suddenly found a guest at home.

On the coffee table were two cups of steaming tea, Jiang Shaohui was sitting on the sofa, next to a middle-aged woman whom he had never met.The woman was about 30 years old, with long hair coiled up, wearing a cheap chiffon skirt, with fine crow's feet around her eyes, she was silent and thoughtful.

Tang Daihe was taken aback, "Shaohui? Why are you back... Who is this?"

Jiang Shaohui got up, was silent for a while, and introduced to Tang Daihe: "Today I changed a shift and came back earlier. This is... Li Ruxue."

In my impression, I don't seem to know any relatives or friends named Li Ruxue. Tang Daihe was wondering, and Jiang Shaohui added: "It's Tang Li's aunt."

This time, Tang Daihe was also stunned.

"This is my ID card, and my household registration book..." Li Ruxue spread out the documents on the tea table with trembling hands, with an anxious expression on her face, "And here is the family certificate I issued at the Public Security Bureau—"

Tang Daihe bent down, and glanced questioningly at the papers on the coffee table one by one. When he raised his eyes again, there were already many complicated emotions in his eyes.

Jiang Shaohui also looked at him, his mixed demeanor said everything.

With a painful expression on Li Ruxue's face, she covered her mouth and remained silent for a long time.Seeing that Tang Daihe finished reading the documents, she put away all the documents on the table.

"I, I'm really Li Li's aunt, really..."

"His name is Tang Li!"

As soon as the words came out, Tang Daihe himself was taken aback.Quickly suppressing his out-of-control emotions, Tang Daihe turned and walked into the kitchen: "...I'll cut some fruit for you."

Jiang Shaohui looked away, frowning tightly.

After being interrupted just now, the melancholy on Li Ruxue's face became more intense.Stirring the tissue in his hand uneasily, Li Ruxue looked at Jiang Shaohui and wanted to say something, when Tang Daihe came out of the kitchen with a plate of sliced ​​apples in his hand.

Tang Daihe's face has returned to calm.

Li Ruxue froze, Tang Daihe reached out and handed her an apple, "I didn't know Tang Li had an aunt."

Li Ruxue took the apple, but didn't eat it. She just lowered her head and answered her in a low voice: "Hi, madam... That's right. I've been working out of town some time ago, and I haven't contacted my hometown. I know that something like this happened in my brother's house..." Li Ruxue's voice was a little choked up at this point.

Tang Daihe shook his head, but said nothing.

"When I was 20 years old, Li...Tang Li was born. I almost watched him grow up. When he was three years old, I took care of him for a while." Li Ruxue seemed to remember something, her face A faint smile appeared on his face.

Tang Daihe was silent and did not speak.Jiang Shaohui couldn't help but interrupt her: "Watch him grow up?"

Li Ruxue's smile didn't last long. Realizing her aphasia, she could only smile apologetically, and corrected, "Watch him grow up to... five years old."

Jiang Shaohui said nothing.Li Ruxue went on to say: "But soon, my brother and the others moved out of their hometown in order to avoid debts. No one knows where they went... and I also went to work in other places to make a living. It was only last month that I saved money to return home. Home. Something unexpected happened to my brother’s family——I just found out now.”

The pain of losing her family made Li Ruxue's eyes sad.

"Actually, I know something about my brother. I know that my brother's family looks a little special in the eyes of outsiders—I also know that my brother can't be regarded as a good husband, or a good husband." Dad. But, but the child is innocent... After that, I have been looking for Tang Li, I want to make up for him, I really - I always want to make up for him."

Tang Daihe sighed, and said hesitantly, "Mrs. Li, we went through formal procedures to let Tang Li join us. From a legal point of view——Tang Li is our legal adopted son."

"I know, I know..." Li Ruxue had tears in her eyes, "Brother Jiang, Sister Tang, I know that you have been taking care of Tang Li for the past seven years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" Then, Li Ruxue knelt on the ground with a slap, and was stopped by Tang Daihe in a panic, but Li Ruxue knelt down persistently, "Brother, sister-in-law, thank you very much! Our Tang Li He De He Can I meet such a nice family as you?"

Li Ruxue knelt for a while, Tang Daihe's face softened a little, he sighed softly, and said: "Get up quickly."

Li Ruxue supported the sofa chair and stood up, but her eyes were a little red.

"Brother Jiang, Sister Tang, I will always remember your kindness to our Li family!"

Jiang Shaohui and Tang Daihe couldn't laugh.

Tang Li was not doing well in his native family.Back then, in order to pull Tang Li out of the shadow of his childhood, the two of them, together with Jiang Ye, the elder brother, had really spent a lot of effort.Finally, Tang Li finally opened his heart to them, and his life is getting better and better—at this time, Tang Li's aunt came to the door.

It happened so suddenly that the couple couldn't accept it for a while.Besides, to be honest, Jiang Shaohui and Tang Daihe didn't trust this so-called "aunt" very much.

Tang Daihe took a sip of tea, was silent for a while, and then slowly said to her: "Mrs. Li, we have always regarded Tang Li as our closest family member all these years. You don't have to feel too owed, you can have Tang Li We are also very happy to have this child, Li, join our family."

The expression on Li Ruxue's face became complicated for a moment.After hesitating for a long time, she still said, "I know I'm sorry for the sudden visit today. I've been looking for my child for more than a month, so I may be a little anxious."

Jiang Shaohui looked up at Li Ruxue, and Li Ruxue quickly bowed to the couple: "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I hope you don't misunderstand me, I didn't mean that. I just, I—"

Speaking of the latter, Li Ruxue was so anxious that she was a little incoherent.

"I just thought," Li Ruxue finally got her words together, the corners of Li Ruxue's eyes turned red, and she choked up, "Can you let me meet the child? I miss him very much, and I want to see him—"

"Brother, sister-in-law, you don't know that my husband died, and I was cheated out of a large sum of money in the city! My husband's family doesn't want me, and my mother's family doesn't recognize me anymore. Brother, sister-in-law, I'm lonely now, I only have, Only this nephew, Li Li—is my only relative..."

"I rented a small single room in the outskirts of this city, and I wrote the address on this piece of paper. Brother and sister-in-law, I don't want to disturb your life, it's just—can you just let me meet the child? Anyway, I She is also his own aunt, blood is thicker than water!"

Jiang Shaohui and Tang Daihe were also hesitant in their hearts.

More than seven years.The child Tang Li encountered all kinds of misfortunes, and almost became a helpless orphan.Back then they took Tang Li home and treated him like their own child with all their heart and soul.Seven years have passed, and now Li Ruxue suddenly jumped out, claiming that she is Tang Li's relative.That's -- and unfair.

It's neither too early nor too late, but I'm stuck at this juncture.Jiang Ye is about to take the college entrance examination, and Tang Li is about to enter the third year of junior high school. How should they mention it to the two children?

But Li Ruxue's life was not easy. Although this family relationship was delayed by seven years, she was Tang Li's relative with the same blood after all.

In all fairness, Tang Li has lived in their home for almost eight years.This feeling has long been fused into the flesh and blood, even more sincere than family affection.Tang Li is their family, and they also have selfish motives.

Li Ruxue said that when she was young, she had a close relationship with Tang Li.When family conflicts occurred in Tang Li's former home, she often went to mediate and dissuade them.

Jiang Shaohui and Tang Daihe couldn't help feeling a little worried.

In this matter, after all, children have the real dominance.As for Tang Li, who is the center of the incident, what kind of reaction will he have after learning the news?
