In the name of father

Twelve: About "Papa"

It was a cloudy and rainy day when Tangtang spoke.

Because the two sons usually go to work hard, Xiao Mo will do the work of changing Tangtang's diaper or breastfeeding Tangtang in the middle of the night—unless one night, the "demand" of the two vigorous young people is too high. I couldn't hold back and made the man lose his temper. Usually, in the middle of the night, when the baby next to him whimpered and wanted to drink milk, the twins would stretch out their hands in a daze to wake the man up and watch him get up and turn over on his own. Keep sleeping.

It was just getting brighter this day, because it was raining heavily outside.The man didn't turn on the desk lamp in order not to disturb the sleep of his sons on the bed. He opened the curtains and fumbled to hug Tangtang by the bright light from the window. The baby's good skills in making milk powder, when the man holding the baby bottle stepped on the plush slippers and walked back to the bedroom slowly, the nearly eight-month-old baby in his arms whimpered sucking on the milk, and when Xiao Mo was about to put him back in the stroller next to the bed, he suddenly heard the child yell "ba".

With that incomparably clear sound, and the soft "boo" sound of bursting saliva bubbles, Xiao Mo was frightened, and with a trembling of his hand, he almost threw Tang Tang onto Xiao Yan's face who was sleeping beside the bed.

Thirteen: A lot of "papa"

So when the first young master of the Xiao family and the second young master of the Xiao family woke up and walked out of the bedroom after washing, they immediately saw the man sitting at the table teasing the baby on the dining table. There was about a glass in the man's hand and he seemed to have only taken a sip. Sitting across from him was the little boy who stared at his "brother" curiously while eating breakfast.

Xiao Mo: "...Tangtang, call once."

Tangtang: "Bah."

Under the eyes of the twin brothers who were speechless, the black-haired man sitting at the dining table with his head tilted slightly showed a satisfied and obscene smile. He stretched out his hand, poked Tangtang's chubby face, and shamelessly demanded: "……Again."

Tangtang: "..."

Xiao Mo was just about to continue coaxing the staring and ignorant kid in front of him to call him daddy. At this moment, a strong arm suddenly stretched out from behind him, and someone came carrying Tangtang's clothes behind him. It's worth picking him up from the table like carrying a little chicken - Tangtang, who was vacated all of a sudden, made an excited "giggle" sound, and then squatted all over his "hukou" happily. On the "real dad" registered on the book.

Xiao Mo turned his head and looked at his "real son" who was looking at him expressionlessly at this moment.

Xiao Mo: "What are you looking at?"

"No child calls their grandpa daddy." Xiao Yan hugged Tangtang and walked around to the other side of the table. During the period, he picked up the baby bottle on the table and stuffed it into the chubby baby's mouth, "Don't you Teach him to speak indiscriminately."

At this time, Tangtang held the bottle with both hands and grabbed it from her mouth, and pressed the big bottle against the glamorous and noble face of the eldest young master of the Xiao family. While pressing, she cried out three times excitedly: " Ba-ba-ba!"

Xiao Yan put down the cup of soybean milk in his hand, turned his head softly and kissed the face of the baby in his arms——then said without warmth in the tone of a keeper observing an orangutan: "Yes. Speak."

"What did you say?" Xiao Yan sat down next to Xiao Mo, grabbed the man's orange juice and took a sip, the excessive sweetness made him frown, then put the juice back in Xiao Mo's hand and turned to belong to him. Soymilk, "Calling 'baba' all the time, can't it be shit?"

Xiaotong raised her head and looked at her cheap father who was wearing a police uniform and looked upright but was actually a gangster.

"What to look at, my deduction is systematically studied, and it is very rigorous - eat your breakfast, girl." Xiao Yan raised his hand and looked at the watch on his hand while talking, "5 minutes Let's go later."

Xiaotong smiled and saluted her rogue and cheap father: "Yessir!"

Fourteen: Li Tang

When I saw Li Tang again, it seemed to be half a year later.

At that time, Tangtang was able to stagger forward two steps with the help of the toddler belt. In order to prevent him from knocking and bumping when he was learning to walk, the whole house was covered with thick carpets, and the edges and corners of all kinds of furniture were also covered. Wrapped carefully by Xiao Mo——Xiao Mo felt that whether it was grandpa or father, his guardian role was very successful.

Until one day, Xiao Yan called back and asked the man to turn on the computer, and confirm some document information for him with the person in charge of overseas——Xiao Mo has been almost a hands-off shopkeeper this year, but this does not mean that the man is very concerned about the family’s current situation. He didn't know what to do, so he quickly pulled out the relevant documents from the folder according to the command of the eldest son. The man lowered his head and flipped through the documents to find the information of the documents that needed to be confirmed for a while, while he logged in absently. The company's internal communication software for Xiao Yan's work——

The person opposite quickly sent a video invitation.

The electronic sound of "beep beep" made Xiao Mo not even have time to see clearly who the person in charge was, so he grabbed the mouse in a hurry and agreed to the other party's video and voice request——at first, the screen that appeared seemed to be a very particular person. The exquisite indoor environment seems to be the home of the person in charge... There was the sound of slippers stepping on the ground from the video, and after a while, Xiao Mo saw a figure swaying into the video without haste.

Dark wine-red hair, amber pupils, skin that was so pale that it was almost morbid, and a pointed chin.

It's Li Tang.

Xiao Mo was slightly surprised, he was stunned for a while, and then he remembered that in the past six months, after all the operations of the Xiao family became regular, Xiao Yan seemed to focus on expanding the foreign market, so he seemed to have vaguely mentioned it to the man, Qinglongtang has been completely spun off and the focus of work has been placed overseas, and Li Tang himself, as the head of Qinglongtang, was also sent abroad by him.

At this moment, on the other side of the video, the handsome young man seems to be no different from the last time Xiao Mo saw him. He seems to have just had an all-night or other alcoholic activity that did not return all night. In short At this moment, he was making tea for himself with his head down, and impatiently tugged at the collar of the crumpled white shirt on his body.

Xiao Mo didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for the people on the other side of the video to make a series of actions last night... Accompanied by the sound of Kung Fu tea boiling over there, Li Tang picked up the teapot and poured a circle on the cup, while shaking his head. Without looking up, he said: "The factional struggle here is too complicated. It is not easy for foreign forces like us to get involved suddenly. Xiao Yan, do you have to deliberately fight against me to find such a troublesome way for me? It doesn't matter who the goods are sold to—"

The young man couldn't finish his sentence.

Because at this moment he finally looked up and saw who was sitting across from the computer.

He paused, suddenly fell into a momentary silence, and even those dark brown pupils full of rage and exhaustion also suddenly darkened.

"Hello", "Long time no see", "How are you doing recently", "Your son is white and fat" a series of words rolled on the tip of his tongue, and finally, in this weird silence, Xiao Mo raised his hand and pinched his earlobe , came out of his mouth: "Xiao Yan bullied you?... He should not be this kind of person."

Li Tang didn't say anything, he just stared at Xiao Mo—with that kind of gaze that can't be called "friendly". Just when Xiao Mo thought that this guy was about to cut off the video directly, he heard the other party ask abruptly: "What's that blinking thing on your ring finger?"

Xiao Mo let out an "ah" and put down his hands. It took him three seconds to realize what Li Tang was talking about. He was about to answer when he heard a cold voice coming from the opposite side of the video: "Forget it, I Ask casually, don’t need to answer.”

Xiao Mo didn't know what to say, so he grabbed the folder at hand, rummaged through it, and asked Li Tang a few questions. The speed of speech, so that the man here has time to take notes - the weird "long time no see" didn't even have a formal opening statement, and it ended directly. The people at both ends of the video went straight to business, and the question and answer went smoothly Soon, Xiao Mo had already answered the questions that Xiao Yan asked to clarify from Li Tang's mouth.

Although Li Tang was complaining that it was difficult to open the market there, in fact, in the following questions and answers, Xiao Mo found that the problems he complained about had actually been solved. A little proud tone was revealed, but in just a few words, Xiao Mo could also guess by himself the bloody storm behind these achievements.

"You have worked hard." Xiao Mo closed the folder and said, "Actually, the Xiao family has been working on the overseas market in the early years. In short, it is useless. Although there are key plans now, there is no need to rush For a while."

"What's this for?" In the video, the handsome young man seemed to relax a bit. He leaned on the sofa behind him and raised his chin slightly. "A retired old employee's encouragement to the new employees?"

Xiao Mo pretended that he did not understand the mocking meaning in the other party's words: "Do you often stay out all night?"

"kindness."

"That's why I said don't be in a hurry," Xiao Mo said slowly, "It's not worth it if you break your body."

"Uncle." Li Tang rolled his eyelids, "I'm just playing outside all night, not working."

Xiao Mo knew that actually because of his biological parents, Li Tang didn't like foreigners, and he had told him before that because Tangtang's appearance was already an accident caused by playing around outside, so Li Tang had been out for a long time. He didn't go out with others for the night, and he would rather solve it by himself if there is a need... However, when one party knew the other party knew the situation and insisted on lying without changing his face, Xiao Mo could only calmly nodded: "Oh, that's my misunderstanding. "

Then there was another moment of awkward silence.

a long time.

"How is Tangtang?" Li Tang asked.

Xiao Mo raised his hand and pinched his earlobe, and after saying "wait a minute", he turned around and carried Tangtang out of the bedroom. The chubby baby touched the computer screen with his hands freshly, but Xiao Mo caught it back, at this time, he saw the young man on the other side of the video sitting up a little bit, at this time, Tangtang yelled "papa" twice again in a very appropriate way.

"...he calls 'Dad' when he sees living things now." Xiao Mo explained.

"Are you ecstatic to see that I can't wait?" Li Tang asked expressionlessly.

"..."

Xiao Mo felt that it was really difficult to continue this conversation, and at this moment the man had already begun to suspect that the eldest son asked him to take this video if he was cheating at all... Bite the bullet and talk to the young man on the other side who rarely talked The ghost said a few words, and then Xiao Mo cut off the video on the grounds that it was time to go grocery shopping.

Fifteen: My family has a child who has just grown up

After the first time, there will be the second or third time. In short, after Xiao Mo received Li Tang's video again and again, one night he finally couldn't help asking his eldest son: "You three Playing videos of me and Li Tang at both ends of the day, are you worried about me or him?"

Xiao Yan, who was leaning on the bed, raised his eyelids: "You also said that it was about business—you also said other things?"

Xiao Mo: "No."

Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction, hugged Tangtang from the man's arms, and said lightly: "The invisible is the best, so I'll let Li Tang see you so that he doesn't do any impulsive things—— Just take a look, but he can't eat it, just thinking about it, I don't think it's a big deal."

Xiao Mo: "..."

Tangtang: "Babababababababa--Dad!"

"Good boy," Xiao Yan lowered his eyes, touched the baby's chubby head, and then turned him to the black-haired man whose face was disheveled in the wind, "Grandpa."
