Baby

Tang Li didn't have much luggage, and it didn't take long for him to pack it up.The second floor is the bedroom of the boss's family, and the single folding bed prepared for Tang Li is sandwiched in a small single room that was originally a utility room.Normally, Tang Li would share the bathroom with the boss's family. Of course, he would try to get up early so as not to disturb the normal use of the boss's family.

When Tang Li packed his clothes, Jiang Ye stood beside him and helped him pass things.This is a small room of less than 4 square meters, without windows, and there is a small cabinet next to the folding bed, which stores Tang Li's daily necessities.Jiang Ye also noticed that there were a few books beside his bed, which looked a bit like college textbooks, and they should have been borrowed from the boss's son.

When Tang Li packed his things, his movements were very slow, as if he hadn't recovered.Jiang Ye's heart was also hot, he stepped forward and patted his shoulder, and called softly: "Tang Li, what are you thinking?"

"I've lived here for almost four years," Tang Li said in a daze, "Brother, time flies so fast."

"Ah."

Jiang Ye smiled.

In a blink of an eye, they all grew up.

Tang Li's luggage was packed in a bag.For convenience, Jiang Ye called a taxi directly.Before leaving, the boss's family came to see him off.Tang Li was sitting in the car with the windows pulled down to the lowest level, waving goodbye to the three bosses with red eyes.

Fang Yangyi was the most emotional, pulling the car door with tears in his eyes: "Brother Li, after you leave, no one will make scented tea for me to cook supper, and I won't stay up late to teach you high math questions... Brother Li, Will you miss me?"

The proprietress dragged Fang Yangyi away with a sigh: "Xiao Tang, don't worry about it. This kid just won't grow up! People who are almost twenty still love to act like a baby!"

Tang Li smiled happily.The boss waved to the two of them, and only smiled and said, "Xiao Tang, I will come back often in the future. If you miss the taste of our beef noodle, our noodle restaurant will give you two free orders."

"Yes, I will. Thank you master." Tang Li smiled sincerely and nodded, "Thank you master for taking care of me for so many years... I really appreciate it."

"Okay," the boss said with a happy smile on his face, "let's go back to your house."

In the taxi, Tang Li held his fingers tightly, with a thoughtful and uneasy expression.Jiang Ye still remembered that he was very car sick when he was a child, but now Tang Li is very used to driving.

Jiang Ye knew that he was worried about Papa Jiang.

"Dad is much better now," Jiang Ye smiled consolingly at Tang Li, "Except for some physical inconvenience, he can already lead a normal life."

Tang Li glanced at Jiang Ye, then slowly turned his gaze back.Only then did Jiang Ye realize that Tang Li had been sitting by the window since he got in the car, and there was still a person in the middle of him.This is a safe distance, but it is inevitable that there will be more alienation.

Jiang Ye decided to give Tang Li some space.

The car was driving slowly, and the taxi driver rarely said a word.The soft music flowing on the car radio gently touches everyone's heartstrings.

"I... never thought that we could meet again." Tang Li lowered his head, and suddenly said slowly, "Brother, sometimes I feel too greedy, and I still feel like a dream. After waking up from the dream, I will still lie on that small bed, then get up and wash quietly, and prepare breakfast for the master and the others."

"Um……"

Jiang Ye listened carefully to Tang Li's words, and responded in a low voice.

"But after you said something happened to dad, I felt like I had a nightmare again. When I thought about what might happen to my parents and my brother when I was not at home, I felt very sad..." Tang Liwang Pointing at his fingers, his voice gradually got stuck in his sore throat after speaking, "Brother, don't laugh at me, but I really thought about it. If one day you have an accident... I will be with you."

Jiang Ye smiled, "Fool, how do you say it's like dying for love?"

Tang Li didn't say anything, Jiang Ye turned to look at him.He met Tang Li's eyes, but the smile on his face gradually froze.Tang Li's eyes were very serious, as if what he said just now was not a joke.

Jiang Ye also put away his smile, looked at him solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "Tang Li, you can't think that way. We finally met again. And even if something happens to us one day, you have to take it with you." Let's get on with it, understand?"

Tang Li didn't answer him, and stared out the car window in a daze for a while.

There are a lot of cars on the road and the road is very congested.Jiang Ye hasn't slept well for several nights in a row these days, and his body is extremely exhausted.Now that Tang Li was sitting next to him, his nerves finally began to relax slowly, and he felt sleepy.Jiang Ye was drowsy and almost missed Tang Li's whispering words.

"Brother, I really want to go home now and see my parents."

Jiang Ye stretched out his palm and gently held Tang Li's fist.

The taxi took the two of them to a high-end residential area.As soon as Tang Li got out of the car, he saw a vague figure looking anxiously in his direction from afar.

Tang Daihe heard the good news from Jiang Ye when he was shopping for vegetables, and almost burst into tears in the vegetable market.It's like the emotions that have been accumulating have finally reached a critical breaking point.She called Xiaoyuan, the nanny, and the two of them bought a refrigerator full of good food together.After Jiang Shaohui fell ill, he hadn't had a drink for a long time.But this time, he asked Tang Daihe to go downstairs and bring a dozen Erguotou home.

In order to welcome Tang Li back home, Jiang Shaohui also specially called a nanny to help him change into a small suit at the bottom of the suitcase.This is what he bought with his first salary when he was young.I haven't been willing to wear it all these years, and put it in the cabinet to collect dust.But today it finally came in handy.Putting on a suit and shaving his beard, he looked much more energetic.Sitting in a wheelchair, Jiang Shaohui looked in the mirror, looked at his two unconscious legs, raised his hand and called the nanny, and asked her to add a thin blanket to cover his legs.

Cover it up and look better.After finally meeting again, Jiang Shaohui didn't want Tang Li to put on a sad expression the first time he saw him.

After buying the vegetables and returning home, Tang Daihe began to prepare for cooking nervously.Since the family hired a nanny, she seldom cooks herself.But today is really a special day of great joy. To be able to reunite with Tang Li again after eight years is really very important to their family.Tang Daihe wanted Tang Li to taste the familiar food aroma at home as soon as he came home.

But Tang Daihe was so nervous that he couldn't hold the kitchen knife.Due to years of toil, her hands have begun to lose strength.When I get nervous, I can't even cut vegetables well.While worrying, Jiang Ye called again to say that they were already in the car and would be there soon, within 10 minutes at most.

"Oh, what should I do?" Tang Daihe was so anxious that he could only make a decision, "How about we go out to eat? Which restaurant should we book now? Is there still time?"

"Mom, don't worry about it," Jiang Ye said with a smile, "We'll be there soon, and we've all had a quick meal at the noodle shop. Today is a big reunion, so don't worry about it."

"How can this be done, how can this be done..." Tang Daihe grabbed the microphone and whispered in his mouth, his eyes slowly became moist.

Great reunion, you are right.Finally a big reunion.

Jiang Ye told Tang Daihe to prepare some snacks at home, but Tang Daihe sat on the sofa and Jiang Shaohui stared blankly. The more they waited, the more anxious they became, so they had to walk around the house to relieve their mood.

She walked to the edge of the balcony, where the goat was lazily dozing off on the sofa.The corners of Tang Daihe's mouth couldn't stop rising, he knelt down and rubbed the goat's head, and whispered to it: "Little baby, your master is back, do you know? Are you happy?"

The goat tilted its head, as if it didn't understand.

Tang Daihe kissed it on the head, and asked it softly: "Goat, do you want to go downstairs with me to pick up my younger brother? It's my younger brother, your childhood friend Xiao Tang Li."

It's a pity that the goat couldn't understand Tang Daihe's words.Its interest was not high all the time, seeing the hostess so excited, it just stuck out its tongue and licked her palm.In the dog's age, it has already entered old age.Since moving into the new home, it has been dozing slowly in the den on the balcony all day long, and seems to have lost its enthusiasm for exploring everything outside.

Seeing the aging of the goat, Tang Daihe suddenly felt a little more sad.She called the goat by its name a few more times, but it only grunted a few times in the end, then retracted its head, and continued to lie on the sofa without moving.

Tang Daihe sighed, and simply put on a thin blanket and went downstairs to guard.

Eight minutes later, a green taxi drove into the community and stopped at the slope far away.Tang Daihe tried to open her eyes wide to see clearly, but the gentle night wind made her eyes hurt a little.

It's Jiang Ye!Jiang Ye was holding a large luggage bag in one hand, and waved it vigorously at her with the other.Tang Daihe was even more nervous, his eyes fixed on the clear figure behind him.

"Tang Li!"

Tang Daihe laughed through his tears, the figure froze for a moment, and then rushed towards her at high speed.

Tang Li rushed over with strides, but deliberately slowed down when approaching Tang Daihe, and hugged Tang's mother tenderly in his arms.With tears in his eyes, he hugged Tang Daihe tightly and refused to let go.

"Tang Li...Tang Li...is that you? Child, is that you..."

Tang Li grew up a lot taller, already much taller than Tang Daihe.In the past, Tang Daihe would often hold Tang Li in his arms, but he always seemed to be such a small one, and his big eyes were so cute.Now, Tang Daihe has become a small one in Tang Li's arms, leaning on the chest of his lost son with peace of mind, sobbing softly.

Tang Li smelled the familiar scent of his mother, and his excitement was ready to come out.

"Mom, it's me, it's me...Mom, I'm back."

"Grow up, really grow up..."

In the elevator, Tang Daihe squinted his eyes and looked at Tang Li's face carefully by the light.The boy's face was engraved with some traces of wind and frost, which faded a little bit of greenness, but a little bit more full of years.Tang Daihe saw mixed feelings in his heart, and while he sighed and smiled, he felt a little sour in his heart.

"Mom," Tang Li had tears in his eyes as he tightly held Tang Daihe's hand.The originally slender hand is now old and wrinkled.Tang Li's voice was a little hoarse, "You have wrinkles..."

Tang Daihe smiled, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands: "You have to be like this when you get older."

The elevator is here soon.Jiang Ye opened the elevator door, walked towards the door, turned to Tang Li with an excited smile and said, "Tang Li, Dad was very happy when he heard that you were coming back. Do you remember the goat? It has been with us all the time. Together. Come home! Everyone is waiting for you—”

The door of the house was opened by the nanny, Tang Li was a little surprised by this unfamiliar girl, Tang Daihe quickly explained: "This is the aunt Jiang Ye hired for us, her name is Xiaoyuan."

Jiang Ye squeezed through the door first, and shouted ecstatically to the living room: "Dad! Dad! See who's back?"

Tang Li suddenly felt extremely nervous, and his heart beat wildly.He followed Jiang Ye slowly into the room, it was a neat, spacious and bright big house.He has never been to this strange place, but he can find familiar things from the high and low pillows on the sofa, the neatly folded tablecloths, the slippers randomly placed beside the shoe cabinet, the hangers hanging at the door... the breath of home.That table and every tree are exciting.Tang Li's mood also became excited, and he looked expectantly at the living room——

Papa Jiang was slowly pushed out in a black wheelchair, with a smiling nanny behind him.

Tang Li's heart throbbed suddenly, and tears quickly eroded his vision.He wiped his eyelids with all his strength, and finally saw Papa Jiang's face clearly.It was a familiar, warm, and smiling face, and Tang Li couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

"dad……"

Tang Li knelt down in front of Jiang Shaohui with a plop, choked up and wept bitterly like a child.

This was the first time Tang Li knelt down in front of Jiang Shaohui. 14 years ago, Jiang Shaohui took Tang Li home. Fate made them separated and reunited. The joy of reuniting was so real, but they had changed a lot when they met again.Lose some, gain some.Maybe fate is always fair.

Tang Li cried uncontrollably, his shoulders trembling while covering his eyes.Jiang Shaohui knew that he felt sorry for his disability, and Jiang Shaohui himself knew that it was not easy to accept this fact.

"Tang Li, don't be like this..." Looking at his appearance, Jiang Shaohui's eyes were a little warm, "You have grown a lot, and we are all very surprised... Stand up, it's good that you are home now—— Just home."

Wandering alone, they couldn't imagine what kind of hardships and grievances this ill-fated child had suffered.But this brave child survived, and became more and more courageous, like a brave and strong little soldier.Jiang Shaohui is proud of Tang Li, he is the pride of his life.

At this time, there was a sudden loud noise from the balcony.Jiang Shaohui squinted his eyes and followed the sound, Tang Li also looked away.

Suddenly, everyone's movements froze.

The balcony door was half open, and in the corner of the living room, the goat heard the movement and moved slowly towards the living room.Its hair was white under the light, and it staggered towards the crowd, but it stopped at the moment its eyes met Tang Li.

Tang Li stared closely into the goat's eyes. For a moment, he forgot to breathe, and even forgot where he was.The warm white light shone on the old dog, as if coating it with a soft light.The goat was much older, and his gait no longer had the brisk breeze of vigor.But when the familiar face deep in the memory was reflected in the eyes again, its footsteps stopped hesitantly.After three seconds of silence, its eyes gradually cleared up, and it raised its fan-like golden tail with all its strength, swung it vigorously, and flicked it wildly!

The goat ran wildly towards Tang Li, so crazy that it almost fell to the ground.The goat jumped into Tang Liman's arms, and let out a few suppressed, muddy and ecstatic barks!

Tang Li was greeted affectionately by the goat with its big tongue.Tang Li happily hugged the goat's body, enduring the tossing and grinding of the goat.The old dog kept groaning "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".Everyone present was moved by it.The goat hadn't shown such an excited expression for a long, long time.It finally realized slowly that its owner had returned home.
