Baby

Tang Li took the subway, then transferred to the bus, and finally arrived at the master's shop.

The master's family was packing up sundries, and the store had almost been emptied, leaving only some large tables and stools.

Only then did Tang Li realize that the master was really leaving.

"Hey, Xiao Tang is back." The master saw Tang Li and warmly invited him to sit down. "How about it? First, a bowl of beef noodles?"

Tang Li smiled, and put the gift bag in his hand on the table, which contained some nutritional supplements: "Let's wait a while, thank you master. This is... a little thought from me and my brother, master and mother can take it home and eat slowly .I wish master and mother a smooth journey."

Jiang Ye transferred 8000 yuan to him, and Tang Liquan wrapped it in cash into a red envelope, which was sandwiched inside the gift bag.The master should be able to see it when he unpacks the bag.

The teacher's wife touched Tang Li's shoulder with a smile: "It's good to come back and see, what are you doing with so many things. Just stay in the shop for a few days, I have already packed a bed."

Tang Li also smiled, "Okay, thank you, Master." Seeing the master carrying boxes, he immediately stepped forward: "I'll help too!"

Several people were busy for a long time, and when it was lunch time, the master went to the kitchen to cook.Only now did Tang Li notice that Fang Yangyi was not at home, maybe he was at school.

Speaking of it, "Master, will Xiao Fang stay here?"

"We have already sold this house," the teacher's wife smiled and replied, "From now on, he will live on campus. Until he graduates, he will go back to his hometown to reunite with us. It doesn't matter, you two still spend weekends You can get together, it won't affect you."

"Well then, good."

"Sigh. Speaking of which...we have lived here for several years," the teacher's wife looked around the four walls with great nostalgia, and there were warm memories hidden in every place, "Hehe, we have lived here with feelings."

Tang Li smiled: "Yes."

He still remembers the day and night with the master's family. The master's family are very kind people. Tang Li was lucky to meet them.There are also many fond memories of him hidden in this cozy little house.

"Who would have expected that there would be an accident in my hometown?" Said, the teacher's wife sighed, and looked at Tang Li seriously, "Xiao Tang, after we leave, you have to take good care of yourself and take care of yourself. Some time ago, you opened a small restaurant by yourself, and in the future, you must strive to carry forward your master's craftsmanship!"

Tang Li sighed and nodded: "Yes, I will."

After all, he was the master who rescued himself from the predicament, and the difference now is really embarrassing.Tang Li secretly made up his mind to stay with the master for a few days until he watched the master and his wife get on the train home.

Half an hour later, the chef came out of the kitchen with some dishes, and the family began to sit around and share lunch.

Today's lunch was very rich, and the familiar taste instantly awakened Tang Li's long-lost memory.There was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the master reached out his hand to pick up a few pieces of beef for Tang Li, hesitated for a while and said, "Xiao Tang, can I trouble you for a few days?"

"Well, master, what do you say?"

"That's right. It's kind of embarrassing to say it." The master smiled shyly, and gestured to the surrounding furniture with his palm, "These tables, chairs and benches—we can't take them home, and we just need money for this meeting at home. , we wanted to find a second-hand furniture store to sell. But these days, with all kinds of things piled up, we are a little bit too busy for a while. Can you... Could you please make a few more trips for this matter and negotiate a suitable price? "

Tang Li nodded naturally: "No problem, I do know some people. Master, don't worry."

"Really?" The master smiled, "It's really great that you are willing to help. There are also these old appliances, second-hand kitchen utensils... If you can sell them, it's best to sell them all together."

Tang Li felt sad, maybe... this time there was an accident at home, the master is really short of money right now. "No problem, master, leave it to me. I will definitely negotiate a good price."

"Okay, okay." The master nodded with satisfaction, and smiled and picked up a piece of ribs for Tang Li, "Let's eat, let's eat."

After Jiang Ye went home and settled down, he went back to work in the company.

Seeing that Tang Li's Moments haven't been updated for a long time, he must be very busy these days.Not seeing each other for less than [-] hours, Jiang Ye felt as if his days were like years, and he was so clingy.At night, Jiang Ye couldn't help but text Tang Li to greet him, wondering what he did when he went back today.

"Accompany the master." A photo was attached to Tang Li's reply.Jiang Ye poked it open and found that it was a photo of him and Boss Fang. Both of them were smiling happily, like a close father and son. "The master is also very happy, and he cooked a big table of dishes."

Jiang Ye smiled: "That's good."

By the way, "Where's Fang Yangyi?"

"He is in class during the day today," Tang Li seemed a little hesitant, "he will go home at night."

Jiang Ye sighed, that's right, you can't let people not go home.

He couldn't urge Tang Li to come back sooner. He was so happy to visit the master today, Jiang Ye really didn't want to spoil everyone's happiness.

So I had no choice but to crush the words and hold them back in my stomach: "Well, have fun and spend more time with your master."

"it is good."

Looking at it like this, it may take a day or two to not come back.Jiang Ye locked the phone screen, buried his face in the pillow and let out a long sigh.

On the third day, Tang Li's phone suddenly stopped working.

Jiang Ye called several times in a row, each time a few hours apart.As a result, the opposite party is always on the phone.

what happened?

Jiang Ye's heart hung up, but after thinking about it, he didn't have the contact information of Master Tang Li's family.

So I can only do this and wait, the more I wait, the more uneasy I feel.Tang Li had never returned Jiang Ye's messages for such a long time.Could it be that the Li Ruxue incident happened again?Jiang Ye was amused by himself again, this idea is really silly.Tang Li is not a child anymore, maybe he is a little worried?

But the anxiety in my heart did not disappear.Jiang Ye anxiously left work and returned home. The moment he turned on the light, the whole house was empty.

It was as if something was missing in his heart.

Jiang Ye took off his coat and went to the kitchen to get himself a glass of water.Sitting on the window sill, he took a sip and fell into deep thought.After a while, there was a sudden sound from the balcony.He put down the water glass, and only belatedly remembered that his mother brought the goat over today, saying that he would help him for a walk today.

When he was busy, he forgot about it.

Jiang Ye hurriedly ran to the balcony and found that the goat had half of its body leaning on the mat, and was about to get up and walk towards Jiang Ye hard to welcome the owner back home.

Jiang Ye's eyes became hot, the goat was getting older, and his reaction was slow, but he never forgot Jiang Ye's intimacy.The fur boy couldn't hide his happiness, although his movements were already a little strenuous.

Jiang Ye hugged the goat tightly for a while, then changed his shoes and planned to take it downstairs for a walk.But no matter how much Jiang Ye coaxed him, the goat still stayed close to his soft cushion and refused to move.Thinking about it, the goat has been sleepy for the past few days and doesn't like to move much.

So Jiang Ye had no choice but to smile and took the teacup over, and sat on the balcony to chat with the goat.

"Baby, actually, I know all about it." Jiang Ye fondled the goat's head lovingly, "The person you liked the most since you were young is the second brother, right?"

The goat shook its ears, and the owner's shadow seemed to be reflected in the clear pupils.

"You have suffered with us for so long, and finally you have finally waited for your favorite little Tang Li." Jiang Ye sighed, "You have worked really hard."

Jiang Ye caressed the white beard on the goat's face, and couldn't bear to look directly at it.After all, the years have not let go of this simple puppy.Now that the two brothers have grown up, the furry child who accompanied them in childhood is slowly getting old.

The goat is sleepy.Jiang Ye put his arms around its head and kissed it, and smiled and whispered: "Your second brother will definitely be proud of you, our forever little baby."

Speaking of Tang Li——Actually, a lot of things have really happened during this period of time.From separation to reunion, to the present mutual habit.Until Lan Shijing and Laojiaxing a few days ago...he felt that the gap between the two brothers was being filled little by little.In fact, ever since Tang Li admitted that he had someone he liked that day, Jiang Ye's heart has been in turmoil.The slight teasing made his mind go blank.

He...has never looked at Tang Li with special eyes, and has always loved Tang Li as his close brother.But——his current cognition seems to have a serious deviation.

For so many years, no matter whether Tang Li was by his side or not, he could always feel his brother's company, and even took it for granted.But Tang Li is different from himself. He is a non-marriageist. Does he want Tang Li to do the same?After all, his younger brother will one day marry a beautiful girl and start his own small family.Although Jiang Ye always felt that it was good for the two brothers to depend on each other and live together, but...he was also reluctant to force Tang Li to do something he didn't like.Jiang Ye even had an intuition that he would be a "bad big brother" who would be difficult for his younger siblings to get along with.

So with such a conflicted mood, Jiang Ye asked the question in a moment of enthusiasm.But what is surprising is that Tang Li's thoughts are surprisingly similar to his own.

Tang Li said that he would not get married, and that he had someone he liked...

Jiang Ye's heart jumped wildly. For some reason, he was still... embarrassed.

Could it be that he was overthinking it?

Jiang Ye drank the last sip of tea, put the cup on the window sill, and reached into his pocket to take out the phone.It is now 09:30 in the evening, no matter what, I should get home and charge my phone.

"The number you dialed is busy, please try again later..."

Jiang Ye frowned, and persistently called again, finally, this time the connection was made.

"You still haven't answered the phone," Jiang Ye sighed, "I'm going to find you in the store myself."

"I saw more than a dozen missed calls..." Tang Li's voice sounded a little guilty, "I'm sorry, brother. The phone almost broke yesterday, and it was hard to charge it just now."

Jiang Ye frowned again: "Did you drop your phone? How about you? Are you all right?"

"I'm fine. Brother, don't worry."

"That's good." Jiang Ye looked up at the moon, "When did your master's family get the car?"

"The day after tomorrow, in the morning."

"Oh..." There is still more than a day.

At this time, a series of footsteps suddenly came from Tang Li's end of the receiver, followed by a middle-aged female voice: "Xiao Tang, I'm a little tired just after coming back from the hospital. I'll put the medicine on the cabinet for you." Alright, let Yang Yi come up later and change the bandage for you. By the way, do you want to drink some fruit tea?"

"Uh..." Tang Li's voice suddenly became a little flustered, and he shouted from a distance, "No, thank you, teacher!"

Jiang Ye caught this detail sharply: "What hospital? What medicine?"

"No, it's nothing, my teacher asked me if I want some tea."

"I heard, you went to the hospital?" Jiang Ye's tone suddenly became a little harsh, "Tang Li, tell me the truth, what's wrong with you?"

"I……"

Jiang Ye's heart twitched.

"I was riding a bicycle when I was looking for a second-hand furniture store yesterday afternoon. There was a car running a red light on the road, and I didn't notice..."

Jiang Ye heard a click, and the world fell into an unreasonable blank.

In the next second, fear and fear rushed up his back, making his scalp numb.Car accident!Tang Li's understated narration suddenly awakened Jiang Ye's darkest memories that were suppressed in his heart.

Back then, Jiang Shaohui also had a car accident on the way down the mountain, and almost lost his life.
