Jiang Ye didn't expect him to be so busy.After getting his grades, he used his hands and feet every day to inquire about the admissions situation of each university, the school's teacher qualifications and campus environment, as well as the prospects and distinctions of each major... Then he filled out the application form and anxiously waited for the admission result.

The result is of course good news.

The moment Jiang Ye received the red admission notice, tears welled up in his eyes, and soon he burst into laughter again.After such a long time of hard work, I can finally get a gratifying return. It is worthwhile to study in my dream school.

The whole family couldn't be happier.Before drinking, Jiang Shaohui called a few colleagues to the food stall at his own expense. He was so drunk that night that he couldn't walk, so he had to find a substitute driver to pick him up.Tang Daihe also began to study new recipes, cooking for Jiang Ye in different ways every day, and the father and son were full of praise every time.The family's food has risen to a higher level, and the puppy's treatment will naturally become higher.With the big bones and raw meat being served, the goat gained weight unknowingly.

Then there was discussion on the time, place, and specific details of the school entrance banquet.

"My classmates should invite a table," Jiang Ye said with a smile. "We encouraged each other in the third year of high school. Now I think about it. I really miss it. I have several 'hard buddies'!"

"Of course, of course." Tang Daihe marked out a row on the banquet list with a smile, "My relatives here also want to invite ten tables, Shaohui, how about yours?"

"Ten tables for relatives and five tables for colleagues." Jiang Shaohui nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, there is also Jiang Ye's teacher, who also wants to invite one table."

"Let me think about who else..."

"Tang Li!" Jiang Ye blinked, "... But Tang Li must be sitting at the same table as us. Let's count as another table?"

Tang Daihe nodded: "That's right. Then there is Aunt Li...it should be almost the same."

Now it's time to wait for the day of the school entrance banquet.

It was a sunny day.

Jiang Shaohui booked the most luxurious hotel in the whole town.At eleven o'clock at noon, the third floor of the hotel was already crowded with people.Jiang Shaohui, dressed in formal attire and combing his hair vigorously, was chatting with guests over cups in the lobby on the third floor.Jiang Ye and Tang Daihe were standing at the entrance of the hotel to entertain the guests.Jiang Ye wore a white shirt with dark gray suspenders, full of vitality and formal.Tang Daihe, on the other hand, dug out the light purple long dress from the bottom of the closet after a long absence. It was given to her by Jiang Shaohui when she was just married.

At twelve o'clock, Jiang Ye's classmates all arrived one after another.Jiang Ye stood at the door, but kept looking at the intersection in the distance, hoping to see that familiar figure sooner.

Time is passing by little by little, and the banquet is about to begin.

Jiang Ye took out his mobile phone and called Tang Li, but no one answered.Tang Daihe went upstairs to entertain the guests, while Jiang Ye insisted on waiting for Tang Li at the door.

Finally, 10 minutes later, the kid with big eyes and fair skin stumbled into his line of sight, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he kept waving at Jiang Ye.

"elder brother!"

All the uneasiness and entanglement disappeared in an instant, Jiang Ye's eyes softened, and he couldn't help but smile.Tang Li rushed into his arms wrapped in a gust of breeze, and Jiang Ye rubbed the child's ear temples affectionately after a long absence: "Little Luobo, you are so handsome today."

Tang Li was wearing a shirt today, tucked into beige suit shorts.There is also a bow tie on the collar of the shirt, which is a bit like an adult.

Tang Li let go of Jiang Ye's hand, his cheeks and ears were red, he didn't know if it was hot or shy, or both.

Then, Li Ruxue also followed, panting from exhaustion: "Oh, this little ancestor... is running too fast, I can't keep up!"

"Aunt Li," Jiang Ye smiled at her, "the lady welcome will take you upstairs in a moment, you go and drink a glass of water and take it easy!" As he said, he turned around and pinched Tang Li's face, Pretending to complain, "Hey, little one, do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"

Tang Li blinked, beads of sweat still hanging on his nose.Jiang Ye smiled as he looked at it, stretched out his hand to help him wipe off his sweat, and said, "But it's okay, I'm willing to wait as long as I want."

"I'm going to the lounge to find my mother now. You and Aunt Li should go upstairs first. See you later."

"Okay." Tang Lihong nodded with his ears closed.

Tang Li has also been looking forward to seeing his brother today.

For him, Jiang Ye is not only his childhood playmate and close brother, but also the object he has been chasing since he was a child, an ideal he cherishes.

Whatever Jiang Ye likes, he also likes; wherever Jiang Ye wants to go, he also wants to go together.

Now Jiang Ye has taken a very important step in his life, his wings have become full and plump, and he is about to spread his wings and soar.Tang Li also wanted to grow up faster and catch up with his brother.

Participating in Jiang Ye's school entrance banquet today is to fulfill the agreement with his brother, and it is also what Tang Li himself is fascinated by.

My mother said that going to college is a turning point in life.Tang Li stood under the stage today, looking at the radiant Jiang Ye on stage, as if he could witness and participate in his brother's future from now on.

Jiang Ye is in high spirits, today he is the protagonist under the spotlight.

Tang Li was sitting under the stage, and on the left was Li Ruxue who kept picking up vegetables for him.On his right was supposed to be Tang Daihe, but now she was toasting at the table with Jiang Shaohui and Jiang Ye.So Tang Li was left with only him, his aunt, and a few unfamiliar relatives at the table.

Tang Li hoped that his brother would come to his table soon, and while he was burying his head in eating, he looked back from time to time to see where his brother had gone.

Today Jiang Ye was extraordinarily excited, poured a glass of wine and bowed to the table.The guests who came to the venue were also very happy. Seeing Jiang Ye's boldness and willingness to come, they persuaded him to drink one cup after another.After drinking half a bottle of wine, Jiang Ye's cheeks turned red after drinking.Jiang Shaohui asked Tang Daihe to secretly replace the wine with Sprite, but Jiang Ye was already a little tipsy due to overwhelmed alcohol.

This was the first time Tang Li saw his brother drinking, and it felt fresh for a while, so he put down his chopsticks and stared at Jiang Ye.Jiang Ye's pace was a bit wobbly. When the toast came to the table of his high school classmates, a few classmates pulled him and joked. Jiang Ye half stood and half squatted to chat with his classmates, and then simply sat on the empty seat beside him. I sat down and chatted with my classmates, picking up vegetables while chatting.

Tang Li was taken aback, and after waiting for a long time, his brother didn't see the intention of getting up, so he turned his head a little disappointed.

The goat also came today, and has been wagging its tail excitedly behind Tang Daihe's feet.At this time Tang Daihe and Jiang Shaohui also returned to their seats with empty wine glasses.Tang Daihe sighed while taking his seat: "It seems that he is really a little drunk. I said earlier that he shouldn't be given real wine, alas."

"What's the matter, I'm happy today." Jiang Shaohui smiled, "Anyway, it was the last table just now, and it's all over."

"I'm going to speak on stage soon."

Jiang Shaohui saw Tang Li at this time, and said with joy on his face: "Ah, Tang Li is here. How is it? Does the food here still suit your taste?"

Tang Li nodded, and the goat saw its kind owner, and came running with its big hairy tail.Tang Li was kissed by the goat, Tang Daihe smiled and pushed Jiang Shaohui's shoulder, then looked at Tang Li and Li Ruxue: "Tang Li, Mrs. Li, please eat more food. I'll help Jiang Ye wake up first. Sober up, look at him like that, he won't be able to talk for a while."

Li Ruxue nodded with a smile: "The child is young, and he can't drink too much."

Seeing Tang Li's disappointed expression, Jiang Shaohui got up and sat beside him, and held out a piece of beef for Tang Li with his chopsticks.

A smell of alcohol hit his face, Tang Li raised his eyes, Jiang Shaohui patted his head with a smile covered in the smell of alcohol: "Come and try this beef, it's the signature dish here."

"Thank you dad."

Tang Li put the beef into his mouth and chewed it a few times, but he didn't taste much.

"Little Tang Li," Jiang Shaohui raised the corners of his mouth, put his arms around Tang Li's shoulders affectionately, and said to him, "You have to work hard and get admitted to a good university. When the time comes, I'll make a bigger one than this." Wine, invite all your friends and classmates!"

After Jiang Shaohui finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and muttered, "I almost forgot..." He got up and walked towards Jiang Ye, leaving Tang Li alone in a daze.

Tang Li knew that Jiang Shaohui was also a little drunk, so he hugged him abnormally.Father Jiang was originally a serious person, but today was a big day after all, and he was very happy.

For some reason, Tang Li suddenly felt his nose sore.

Speaking of which, Jiang Ye once told him that when he held a grand banquet, Tang Li would be his special guest and would speak with him on stage.

Is this matter... still counting?

Tang Li turned around and looked at Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye was wearing a white shirt, like a handsome prince, dazzling and eye-catching in the crowd.Jiang Ye was chatting happily with his classmates, and he didn't notice Tang Li at the side at all.And Jiang Shaohui also walked up to him at this moment, lowered his head and said something to him, Jiang Ye smiled at Jiang Shaohui and nodded after listening, and the students around him booed loudly.

At the end of the meal, Jiang Ye stepped onto the podium under the eyes of everyone.He was a little shy at first, and after adjusting the microphone cautiously, he raised his head slowly and spoke:

"I am very happy to achieve this good result today. This is my goal since I was in high school, and now I have finally achieved it. Of course, there will be hardships and sadness along the way... I want to thank my family, my friends and I Teachers. It is they who accompany me in my most important moments, guiding me to clear the fog and embark on the journey..."

Tang Li stood under the stage and watched intently his brother's speech, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, applauding along with the crowd.Tang Daihe stood beside the podium covering his mouth and excitedly videoed Jiang Ye, and Jiang Shaohui also stood beside the podium proudly accepting the praise of his colleagues.

Soon, the speech was over, and the celebratory school entrance banquet came to an end.

In fact, Tang Li has always been a timid turtle.

When Jiang Shaohui rescued him from his former home when he was very young, he was obviously afraid of this strange man and strange environment.But he swallowed his fear into his stomach, and did not dare to resist as the man said.Later, Jiang Ye made friends with other girls. Although Tang Li felt disappointed, he never dared to say "brother, stay with me more".

Now, Jiang Ye is high-spirited and admitted to the ideal university, with a confident light shining in his eyes.At the school entrance banquet, he had both sides, and was so selfless that he had no time to care about the corners.Tang Li looked at Jiang Ye's eyes that no longer had him, and suddenly lost the courage to step forward to interrupt the atmosphere and say "Brother, congratulations".

"I shouldn't be so greedy, right?" Tang Li sighed softly while holding the goat's face, looking into its eyes.

Before the end of the session, Jiang Ye was held down by several male classmates and forced to drink alcohol, otherwise he would not be allowed to leave.By the time the banquet was finally over, Jiang Ye had completely fallen to the ground, blushing.

Li Ruxue went to Tang Daihe to say goodbye, Tang Daihe nodded and said good-bye, and then glanced at the back of Tang Li standing at the door, Tang Daihe suddenly fell silent.

Tang Li's back looked a little lonely, squatting in the corner and gently stroking the golden soft fur of the goat.It was only then that Tang Daihe realized that during this time they had been immersed in the joy of Jiang Ye's education, and they had inadvertently ignored Tang Li.

Tang Daihe looked at Li Ruxue, and asked again: "Mrs. Li, may I ask Tang Li for his summer vacation..."

Li Ruxue quickly smiled and said, "That's right, I plan to take this child back to his hometown to meet a relative of mine."

This seems to be different from what I said before... Tang Daihe frowned, and said first: "Okay. Then when you come back, I will find a time to pick Tang Li home, okay?"

Li Ruxue nodded: "Yes, no problem."

Tang Daihe also nodded.Li Ruxue went to the bathroom to the side.Thinking of Tang Li's academic decline, Tang Daihe couldn't help feeling a little worried again.Followed Tang Li out.

Tang Li was staring at the shadow of himself and the goat in a daze, Tang Daihe touched Tang Li's head and smiled at him, "Do you have any plans for summer vacation?"

"Mom," Tang Li turned his head, the expression on his face softened, "I will go back to my hometown with my aunt first, and then move back home."

Tang Daihe smiled, "Okay. When you come back, I will ask Dad to drive you home."

Tang Li nodded, and Tang Daihe asked again: "Tang Li, do you have any troubles recently? Do you want to talk to your mother?"

Tang Li didn't speak anymore, his eyes slowly moved down.Tang Daihe didn't force him, he gently touched the back of Tang Li's neck, and comforted him: "It's okay, let's talk about it after you come back...Tang Li, you have to remember that no matter where you go, who is by your side, We'll all be one family forever, through thick and thin. That won't change. Okay?"

Tang Li raised his eyes, looking at Tang Daihe's gentle smile, the disappointment in his eyes was melted bit by bit.

"Ok!"

Tang Li grabbed Tang Daihe's palm and nodded deeply.

"Okay, you and your aunt go back, and pay attention to safety on the way."

"Yeah." Tang Li knelt down and kissed the goat's face again, saying goodbye to it, "Goodbye, goat."

Jiang Ye was lying on the back seat of the car on his way home, with his feet resting on the puppy, snoring softly and talking in his sleep.Tang Daihe listened carefully and found out whether it was "brother" or "radish".

The car turned a corner, shaking the drunk in the back seat awake.Jiang Ye grabbed the doorknob, his face was full of confusion, and he suddenly remembered something: "Where's Tang Li?"

Tang Daihe smiled: "Look at you. It's over long ago. Tang Li and his aunt went back to their hometown together."

Jiang Ye sighed, touched his swollen head and sat up: "Drinking is really a waste of time... I originally prepared a gift for him, but I didn't have time to send it out..."

The goat is lying on the car seat, its tail sweeping a blue packing box on the back seat.Inside is a men's watch that Jiang Ye is going to give to Tang Li. It is expensive and looks youthful and attractive.Jiang Ye bought it after saving money for a long time. He wanted to be a special match for Tang Li, and he was looking forward to seeing the child's surprised expression when he received the gift.

It's a pity that he never had the chance to give this gift to its owner in person.
