Baby

Jiang Ye had imagined the scene when the two brothers reunited many times.

He thought that maybe on a thunderstorm day, he and Tang Li stood at both ends of the street.The moment they passed by, the two recognized each other in unison.

He also thought that Tang Li would run towards him and throw himself into his arms, crying out of breath, wiping away his tears and telling how wronged he was after all these years.Tang Li has always been a crying and coquettish ghost since he was a child. He has been away from home for so long this time, so he will definitely get tired of him for a while.

But it's been almost eight years since I saw him, not to mention the little radish, and I have changed from a simple boy in school uniform to a hypocritical adult in a suit and leather shoes.The former crybaby must have grown up, what does he look like now?

Standing at the door of the noodle shop, Jiang Ye recognized Tang Li almost immediately.

That slender figure wrapped in an apron, with a familiar walking posture.Although his back was turned to him, Jiang Ye could almost confirm that it was his younger brother.

Jiang Ye just stood at the door and stared blankly.

Tang Li has changed a lot.

Jiang Ye still remembered that his first impression of Tang Li was - "beautiful".This was originally a word to describe a girl, but Tang Li's prettiness was no less than that of a girl.In my memory, Tang Li's skin is fair and tender, his big eyes are full of innocence and innocence, and his eyelashes are curly and lovable.He was born with the advantages of his mother, and he was born a beauty embryo since he was a child, and he will attract people's attention wherever he goes.

And now the big boy in front of him has lost the milkiness of his childhood, and has grown into a mature male.He was wearing an ordinary apron, and his stature has grown a lot. Although his appearance still has the charm of his childhood, his skin has turned a little dark after being exposed to wind and rain, and he is no longer special in the crowd.Jiang Ye saw the gods and noticed that Tang Li's arms had grown a thin layer of muscle due to years of hard work, but his waist was still very slender.For the convenience of work, he tied the broken hair on his forehead into a small bun and curled it up on the top of his head, which was quite cute.Jiang Ye watched the little braid trembling and dancing with the movements of its master, and his heart was filled with love and compassion, and his heart almost melted into a puddle of water.

Tang Li...it was really him.

It's been too long.

Jiang Ye could imagine what Tang Li had experienced in these years, but even so, Tang Li still did not give up on himself, but worked hard with sunshine.Jiang Ye was very relieved in his heart, but at the same time, his eyes were a little sore.

Heartache and ecstasy intertwined, Jiang Ye was in a state of disarray.He finally couldn't wait any longer.Jiang Ye went straight forward, stood gently in front of Tang Li, and whispered to him, "...I want—a bowl of beef noodle."

Jiang Ye watched Tang Li slowly raise his head, and his confused eyes gradually became clear and flickering!

Jiang Ye's heart was pounding, and his voice became hoarse in an instant.Tang Li's writing movements froze slowly, staring at Jiang Ye without moving, his face was full of unbelievable doubts, and the shock that followed wildly.His lips trembled a little, but he never said a word.

Jiang Ye interpreted this reaction contentedly as "brother needs a hug".

So Jiang Ye stepped forward and hugged Tang Li deeply into his arms.Jiang Ye's hands were uncontrollably exerting force, Tang Li's back stiffened, and the pencil in his hand slipped out.At this moment, Jiang Ye suddenly had an illusion that Tang Li in his arms was still that innocent and ignorant child, just like when he was a child.

"Tang Li!...Tang Li," Jiang Ye smirked, speaking clumsily and incoherently, and slowly let go of him, "You grow so fast."

Instead of crying into small tears like he imagined, Tang Li's eyes focused on Jiang Ye for a while, and finally moved his gaze away gently.His ears were slightly red, and he whispered: "...Brother."

Tang Li's voice became deeper, and Jiang Ye suddenly regretted that he had not been able to witness the child's voice change in person.It's been a long time since I heard the name of this voice, Jiang Ye felt his heart was hit, and his whole body went limp.

"Hey!"

At this time, the proprietress of the store came over and planned to call Tang Li to help take care of the business.She bumped into the two of them and asked in confusion, "Xiao Tang, who is this? Are you acquainted?"

Tang Li quickly turned his head to look at the proprietress, then suddenly dropped the ledger, turned around and ran towards the back kitchen.The proprietress picked up the ledger on the ground in surprise, but she still hadn't figured out what happened.Jiang Ye quickly reacted, and before he could think about it, his body quickly raised his feet and chased after him.

Tang Li ran fast, Jiang Ye's chest suddenly filled with an unknown sense of fear.He suddenly felt that it was too inconvenient for him to be in a suit that bound his hands and feet.In the end, Jiang Ye caught up with Tang Li in the utility room where the kitchen utensils were stored. When Tang Li saw that it was him, he suddenly took a step back in embarrassment.

Jiang Ye panted, and was a little confused for a moment: "Tang Li, what's wrong with you?"

"...I don't know," Tang Li leaned against the wall, "I shouldn't have fallen asleep at work, the lady boss is going to blame me."

"Asleep?" Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, and took a step closer to him, "You didn't sleep? What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Ye walked up to Tang Li, he was a little taller than Tang Li, Tang Li could only look up at Jiang Ye.Jiang Ye sprayed some men's perfume on his body. Tang Li was unfamiliar with this, and a puzzled look suddenly flashed across his face.

Tang Li hesitated and said, "Because if I hadn't fallen asleep, how could I have dreamed..."

Suddenly, he stopped talking.

Jiang Ye was startled for a moment, after pondering the taste in the words, the corners of his lips slowly curled up, and a bright smile with the taste of sunshine bloomed at the corners of his mouth.All doubts, doubts, and uncertainties disappeared at this moment.The troubles became insignificant, and the joy of reunion dazzled Jiang Ye's mind in an instant.

"I also really want to know if this is a dream," Jiang Ye reached out and touched Tang Li's head, his eyes were filled with doting and tenderness, "Otherwise, when you open your eyes from the bed the next day, then How lonely I must be..."

Tang Li's body trembled violently, and he tapped his fingers on the wall behind him uneasily.As if he finally came to his senses, his eyes turned from confusion to shock, and finally stared at Jiang Ye's face tightly with jaw-dropping eyes, as if confirming every detail of his face.In the end, Tang Li took a deep breath slowly, as if finally distinguishing between dreams and reality, his cheeks turned red into a big apple!

"……elder brother?"

"Ah."

Tang Li stopped talking, and tears slowly fell from his eyes.He wiped his eyes almost roughly with his sleeve over and over again, hoping to keep his vision clear.

Jiang Ye stopped his movement in time, and Tang Li's slow pace made Jiang Ye's nose sore, but he laughed out loud instead.

Tang Li whispered again: "Brother?"

"Ah."

"……elder brother!"

"here I am."

Tang Li stopped talking, his lips were pursed and his eyes were red.

Jiang Ye smiled, and his eyes were hot, "We met for the first time in the sixth grade of elementary school, and it has been 14 years now. Tang Li, my brother finally found you."

Jiang Ye hugged Tang Li into his arms again. Tang Li grew stronger, and the muscle lines on his back became a bit tougher.Jiang Ye buried his head into his younger brother's neck affectionately, and he was finally able to say the words he wanted to say to Tang Li day and night:

"Little Carrot, I'm here to take you home."

At that moment, many, many images flashed through Tang Li's mind.The person in front of him was the elder brother whom he had been thinking about day and night, the one whom he could not bear to think of and could not bear to forget. Kiss the corners of his moist eyes.But at this moment, he just shed tears crazily, choked up and couldn't speak.

"Is he your brother?"

Fang Yangyi was surprised and forgot to take the chopsticks handed by the proprietress, and shot straight at Jiang Ye with straightforward eyes.

"Here, quickly take the chopsticks!" The proprietress reminded Fang Yangyi in displeasure, and the latter realized his gaffe, cleared his throat in embarrassment and took the chopsticks.

"I, I've been hearing Li Ge talking about his brother, and I thought he was a two-meter-tall tough guy."

The boss saw through him at a glance, and said with a smile: "Have you eaten lemons? What comes out of your mouth is so sour."

Fang Yangyi blushed, and went to eat noodles without saying a word.

The proprietress brought a few more dishes from the kitchen and helped the family serve meals.They sat around and had dinner together in a warm and lively atmosphere.At the dining table, Tang Li sat opposite Jiang Ye, with two people in between.Although Jiang Ye really wanted to get closer to his younger brother, Tang Li looked like a little rabbit who hadn't calmed down yet and was full of confusion.

"Xiao Tang sometimes tells us about you. I already knew that you two brothers have a very good relationship." The boss took a sip of his wine with a smile, "When Xiao Tang first came to our store, he was alone. I asked He works in the store, and every year after that, we spend the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival together. But of course I also know in my heart that we are different from his family. I still hope that he can get along with him as soon as possible. Family reunion. Occasionally during festivals, he would tell me about his family, and I was very moved after hearing it. Little brother, you were born in a warm and happy family. Now that you brothers are reunited, we are also very happy. "

Jiang Ye heard mixed feelings, and looked up at Tang Li, only to find that Tang Li was also looking at him.

Suddenly, Jiang Ye's eyes felt hot, he raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.The spicy liquid rolled into the throat, making people's eyes and nose sore.The boss smiled, picked up a piece of offal from the plate and put it into Jiang Ye's bowl.

"Okay, let's not talk about these past events. Come, try this beef offal, it was pickled by Tang Li."

Jiang Ye was a little surprised, he didn't expect Tang Li to learn how to cook.Jiang Ye put the offal into his mouth, and his eyes drifted in Tang Li's direction.

"Well, it's delicious." There was a little joy in Jiang Ye's eyes.The offal was really delicious beyond his expectation, the sauce was three-pointed and moderately salty.

Both the boss and the proprietress laughed loudly, Tang Li lowered his head even lower, his cheeks became hot.

"Tang Li has been taken care of by you all these years." Jiang Ye stood up, solemnly raised his glass to toast, "As his elder brother, I am really grateful to your family. Your generosity and kindness, we will forever In mind."

Jiang Ye clinked glasses lively with the family one by one. When it was Fang Yangyi's turn, he suddenly put down the beer glass in his hand and picked up a glass filled with watermelon juice. Before Jiang Ye came, he drank it by himself. After cleaning up, he put the empty cup on the table, and cocked his legs lazily.

The boss frowned, not knowing which muscle of his son was wrong, and patted his thigh to warn him.But Fang Yangyi snorted coldly, and said strangely: "A certain brother is so handsome. My younger brother was almost reduced to sleeping on the streets picking up garbage and eating. He didn't know where he was happy and happy, and he didn't even fart! Now my brother is very handsome. Come here, the days are getting better and better, but he is dressed like a dog and came to recognize his relatives. It turns out that they are not biological, is the relationship different?"

Jiang Ye's hand that raised his wine glass was stuck in the air.The atmosphere was tense for a moment.The boss patted Fang Yangyi's leg in embarrassment, lowered his voice and accused him: "Shut up! Sit down and eat!"

Jiang Ye was silent for a while, and drank the wine in the glass, his nose was a little sore.

He turned around, looked at Tang Li, who was drinking with his head down, and took a deep breath: "You are right, I am indeed too late. A lot of things happened, I just passed the exam When I was in college... there was an accident at home. We sold our old house and moved to a hospital in the provincial capital. Later, after I graduated from college, I came here to work."

Tang Li's movements froze, he slowly put down his wine glass, and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Ye.

"Tang Li, Dad was in a car accident and his lower body was paralyzed."

boom.A muffled thunder exploded in Tang Li's sky.

Papa Jiang's kind and kind face appeared in front of his eyes, and the scenes of the past together emerged bit by bit, overlapping with worry and pain, which made him feel oppressed and uncomfortable in his chest.

"……what?"

"Dad lived in the hospital for a long time, and my mother and I went out to work." Jiang Ye squeezed out a smile, "However, Dad recovered well. I took him home last year and bought a new house. Now Life is on the right track. Tang Li, can you believe it? I live here too. I came here as soon as I graduated. We all live in this place... Destiny is really irritating and laughing, right? ?”

Fortunately, they have been wandering and wandering, and they can always meet each other in the end.

Tang Li lowered his head silently, and when he raised it again, his face was a little firmer.

"Brother, I want to go home with you."
