Xiao Ai did something with a particularly long face.

When Xiao Ai's class walked towards the school gate from far to near, Xu Yao didn't respond.Yang Ren stood beside him and reminded him.But the surrounding environment was too noisy, Xu Yao just turned his head and glanced at him, but couldn't hear him clearly, then turned his head and started looking into the door again.

"father!"

Xiao Ai's eyes were very sharp, and she immediately saw her father who had never appeared at the school gate before. She ran out of the team with the fastest quick freezing, and hugged Xu Yao's leg directly.

The surrounding parents were silent for a moment, and the "dumb" in their eyes made a clear and loud voice.Everyone's eyes gathered, and Yang Ren felt a sense of revenge in that instant.Now the whole world knows that Xiao Ai has a father and that she can speak. Yang Ren's eyes stay on Xu Yao's happy and warm face, and he also feels his happiness.

"Did you hear that?" He asked Xu Yao excitedly.

Xu Yao picked up Xiao Ai, then nodded with a smile.

Yang Ren held Yang Yitong with one hand, and pulled off Xu Yao's clothes nonchalantly with the other, guiding him to a place where there were few people.

"Xiao Ai, did you call me?" Yang Ren asked her.

"Father." Xiao Ai said happily again.

Yang Ren didn't need to confirm anymore, Xiao Ai really called him that, and he was so happy when he called him.When he lowered his head, he saw Yang Yitong pouted and frowning, probably unhappy.

Yang Ren put Xiao Ai on the ground, reached out to touch his son's head, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yang Yitong glared at Xiao Ai, curled his lips and said, "You are my father."

His words made Yang Ren, who was in high spirits, laugh even more. He felt that what his son said made sense, so he squatted down and said to Xiao Ai: "You call me Papa Yang."

Xiao Ai stared blankly at him, and after a while said: "Yang... Dad." After speaking, she made a goat's horn gesture.

Yang Ren smiled and said: "Haha, fine, I will be your sheep father from now on, and you are all lambs."

Only then did Yang Yitong regain his mood, clamoring to eat outside.

"Is it okay?" Yang Ren asked Xu Yao.

In the familiar home, Xu Yao has no obstacles at all, but when he goes out and enters an unfamiliar environment, every step Xu Yao takes takes a lot of energy. He shakes his head, expressing that he doesn't want to.Yang Ren understood his thoughts, so he took the children back to Xu's house obediently.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard the old man humming a song. It was a song from more than [-] years ago. Yang Ren had never heard of it, but he could feel the happiness emanating from the old man.

Meals have been set on the table, pork head meat, fried peanuts, broccoli and stewed pork ribs.

The old man set up five pairs of bowls and chopsticks, took out a bottle of white wine from nowhere, and said, "Quick, wash your hands and eat."

This feeling is like a family, so comfortable and familiar.

Yang Ren took the children to wash their hands, and then sat at the dining table.The dining table is rectangular, with one side leaning against the wall and Xu Yao sitting alone on the other side.On the slightly longer sides are Yang Ren's father and son and the old man's grandson, which is also convenient for them to take care of their children and eat.

The old man suddenly became radiant, took the wine bottle and raised it, and said to Yang Ren: "Xiao Yang, let's have a drink today."

After glancing at Xu Yao, Yang Ren waved his hand and whispered, "Don't, don't, I won't drink."

He thought of the past, when he liked to drink, but Xu Yao always said that he was still a student, don't get into these habits, so no matter what delicious food he and Xu Yao ate, he never drank in front of him. .

The memories suddenly stopped, Yang Ren smiled, only to realize that ten years have passed, and he is no longer a student, it is normal for a middle-aged man to drink alcohol.Seeing that Xu Yao was quietly eating with his head down and ignoring him, he smiled slightly, took the wine bottle and poured a full glass for both the old man and himself.

"Grandpa, I would like to toast you." Yang Ren raised the cup and gently bumped it against the mouth of the old man.

The old man said anxiously: "No, no, I respect you, I respect you, you let my little love speak, and my family Xu Yao went out, you are the great benefactor, I don't even know how to thank you."

Yang Ren drank the wine in one gulp, filled it up quickly, and said: "This has nothing to do with me, Xiao Ai is fine in the first place, and it's a matter of time to talk."

"Look at the past six months, Xiao Ai has become much more cheerful, even Xu Yao talked a lot." After the old man finished speaking, he also drank the wine in the glass, and Yang Ren immediately refilled his glass.

The two drank like this, you and I said one sentence, the more they talked, the more intimate they became. In the end, the old man insisted that Yang Ren be his godson, and Yang Ren was not polite, so he just called out "godfather, godfather".

Xu Yao didn't interfere with the two people's free drinking, and took the two children back to the bedroom to play after dinner. There were many dolls made by him. Yang Yitong liked them more than Xiaoai. Xiao Ai looked at the doll again, and said, "Xiao Ai doll. Xiao Ai doll. Uncle Xu, the little love doll you made will be liked by many children."

The author has something to say:

Let everyone wait for a long time, there should be a stalk after being drunk, but now I suddenly can't remember it, stop here first, and see if I can remember it in the past few days.
