Adoption relationship

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Zhang Jianan was dragged into the house by Zhang Lijuan.At a glance, I saw Zhang's father sitting on the sofa in the middle of the room, and Zhang's mother standing up to greet him.

"It's good to be back." Zhang's mother came over, both joyful and blameful: "Why don't you call in advance, and arrange a car to pick you up."

"Hehe, it's so close, why do I need a car to pick it up?" Zhang Jianan put the elderly health care gift in his hand on a long table next to the entrance.

"Riding in the car overnight? Are you tired?" Zhang's mother came up and took Zhang Jian'an's hand to care. It's been a long time since I saw her. A mother naturally misses her son.

"It's okay, we take the sleeper, that is, we just get off at the station after sleeping." Zhang Jian'an smiled, and patted the back of the old man's hand reassuringly.

At this time, the middle-aged man who was sitting next to Zhang's father on the sofa stood up, and said affectionately, "Jian'an, you are finally willing to come back this year, come and sit here. After so many years, you have developed well, right?"

"Big Brother, Second Brother." Zhang Jianan quickly stepped forward and greeted Zhang Jianjun, the eldest brother, and Zhang Jianlin, who were beside Zhang's father.

"Oh, I'm willing to come back." Zhang Jianlin, who is 45 years old this year, said this meaningfully without getting up, with a flat expression.

Zhang Jianan paused, and looked at Zhang Jianlin, who was playing with a lighter on his lap with downcast eyes.She also smiled faintly, and said, "I've been busy outside in recent years, and it's been a long time since I came back to see my parents."

Zhang Jianlin deliberately said the phrase "I am willing to come back". From Zhang Jianan's point of view, the two elder brothers of the Zhang family thought that he would come back at this critical time.So Zhang Jianan replied that he came back to see his parents, and wanted to point out that he had no intention of arguing about anything, but simply came back to see the two elders. However, he didn't know whether the Zhang family brothers could receive his kindness.

After Zhang Jian'an finished speaking, he sat down on the sofa opposite Zhang's father, then waved to Weiding, pulled him to sit beside him, then looked around, and asked, "Eldest sister-in-law, where are the second sister-in-law?"

"Your sister-in-law took your nephew back to her mother's house for the festival, and she came here at night." Zhang Jianjun answered while taking an apple and peeling it.

"Oh." Zhang Jian'an nodded, looked at the kitchen where there was some noise, and asked, "Is the second sister-in-law busy in the kitchen?"

"It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and all the invited people have gone home for the holidays. This morning, I was the only one working in the kitchen with your second sister-in-law and second sister." Zhang Lijuan replied, and then pushed the two children Xiaosong and Lili on the sofa. He ordered: "Your little uncle hasn't come back for several years, you should talk to him well, don't run out now."

Komatsu, who had dyed his hair like a delinquent boy, was lying on his back looking bored.With her legs crossed, Lily sat beside her and looked at Weiding, nodded casually and replied, "Okay, we won't go out now."

"Dad, are you and mom okay?" Zhang Jian'an asked Zhang's father who hadn't spoken since he entered the room.

Time really makes people old. 12 years ago, Zhang's father always tried to straighten his back, and his eyes were still sharp, but it's just that 12 years have passed, and Zhang's father and Zhang's mother have really shown some signs of aging. , Essence, energy, and spirit are all weakening. Looking at the two elders, Zhang Jianan can only sigh in his heart, he is really old!

Zhang's father nodded to Zhang Jian'an's question, looked at Xiang Weiding next to him with cloudy eyes, seemed to be thinking for a while, and finally asked suspiciously: "Jian'an, is this your friend? I don't seem to have seen it before. .”

what

Zhang Jianan turned to look at Xiang Weiding, very surprised. Although Xiang Weiding and himself had left Hwaseong for 12 years, they had met Zhang's family all those years ago, and they had been together for more than half a year!Don't these people remember Xiang Weiding?

"Dad. You really don't remember him? You and Mom have met him several times before." Zhang Jianan was puzzled. In his eyes, the thin child had grown up, but Zhang Jianan always felt that even if he Wei Ding has grown into a tall young man, but his appearance is still the same as before.

"Really?" Father Zhang looked at Weiding seriously again, then took out a pair of reading glasses from his pocket, put them on, looked carefully again, and said, "I really don't have any impression, is it your former classmate?" ?”

"Do you still remember the child who walked with me back then? He is that child." Zhang Jianan patted Xiang Weiding on the shoulder.

"Huh? What is that Xiang, the boy you adopted?" Father Zhang was surprised, and everyone in the room was surprised.

"That child grew up so big back then?"

Back then, the Zhang family had met Xiang Weiding. Although they were not familiar with him, they always had some impressions.However, the two children, Xiaosong and Lili, were young and had no memories. Seeing that the adults in the room were obviously reminded of something and surprised, Lili couldn't help but ask.

"Grandpa, uncle, what kind of child are you talking about?"

"You and Xiaosong may not remember, how old were you at that time!" Zhang Jianan smiled and explained: "I was still in Hwaseong, and I was hospitalized once, Lily, you and Xiaosong came to see me in the hospital, do you remember?" At that time, there was a child beside me, and I asked you to call him brother! That is him, Xiang Weiding."

"Ah?" Lily screamed and stood up abruptly.Unbelievably looking up and down Xiang Weiding, who was sitting steadily, said: "No way, little uncle, you lied to me, right?"

"Why, do you still remember him?" Zhang Jianan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that the child who was only a few years old at that time would remember him.

"I also seem to have a little impression." Xiao Song said unwillingly, but his brows were slightly frowned, obviously he couldn't remember clearly.

"Hehe, he was only a little older when he left, but now he's an adult, it's normal if you don't remember." Zhang Jian'an said.

"Is he still studying?" Zhang Jianjun pointed to Weiding and asked.

"He has already graduated from university, and he is working with a classmate of his." Zhang Jianan replied casually, then handed a pear to Xiang Weiding, and said softly, "Eat this."

Xiang Weiding smiled and took it.

Facing a room full of Zhang family members, Xiang Weiding acted calmly and calmly, followed Zhang Jianan into the room graciously, and everyone turned a blind eye. He only had one Zhang Jianan in his eyes, so what do other people care about him?

greet?

That's unnecessary, Xiang Weiding's relationship with these people is not that close, and he also thinks that he and Zhang Jian'an will live in Bingqing in the future.He rarely has any contact with these Zhang family members. Besides, he really doesn't know how to address these people, so just skip it!

"Oh? Jian'an, you're the one who put this kid through college, right? What kind of school?"

Zhang's father frowned a little. In his eyes, everything Xiang Weiding had was given by his Zhang family. Naturally, Xiang Weiding should be grateful to everyone in the Zhang family. Who knew that Xiang Weiding didn't take the initiative to call people respectfully when he entered the house. , still sitting at ease with a calm look.This made Father Zhang feel a little disgusted.

"Wei Ding studied at the Industrial and Commercial University, and he started working before he graduated. This kid is very capable." Zhang Jianan was a little proud of Xiang Weiding.

"Capable?" Father Zhang repeated these two words, then took off his glasses, rubbed them, and said, "Where's Jiaojiao? Why didn't you bring her back for the New Year?"

"I called two days ago. She and Bai Yu will come back a few days later, and they won't be back in Huacheng." Zhang Jian'an said.

"Jian'an, you should have given Jiaojiao to Bai Yu in the first place. Look at you, you are not married again, and you don't have a child around you." Zhang's mother was still a little dissatisfied with this matter.

"Yeah, Jian'an, you and Bai Yu have been divorced for so many years, you should have found someone else to marry and have a baby." Zhang Jianjun looked at Wei Ding, and then suggested accordingly, showing that he was an older brother Brother's concern.

"Cough, this..." Zhang Jian'an squeaked, thinking about how to formulate his words, he peeled a pear to Wei Ding and stuffed it into his hand, interrupted: "Your voice has not been very good these two days, you have a little cough , It’s good to eat pears.”

Zhang Jianan took the peeled and pitted pear flesh, smiled at the few people who were still looking at him, and then began to eat love pears, heaving a sigh of relief, hoping that this interruption would stop him from answering the topic of marriage up.

At this moment, Lily stood up and walked to Xiang Weiding who was sitting, and looked down at him. Just now outside the door, she thought this was someone's handsome guy. He had some girlish feelings at first, but now that he knew that Xiang Weiding was The mystery of the dirty child I saw in the hospital all of a sudden disappeared.

Although in Lili's eyes, Xiang Weiding is still quite handsome, but.In her heart, everything was given by her Zhang family, so she felt that she should be superior in front of Xiang Weiding. At the same time, she was a little annoyed at the fact that Xiang Weiding surprised or fascinated her for a moment, because she felt , just ask Wei Ding's parents not to, and as an adopted person, she feels that her girlish feelings at that moment are very embarrassing.

"So you're that dirty kid! I haven't seen you for many years, why are you so depressed when you enter the door?" Lily said in a hostile tone.

Hearing this, Xiang Weiding raised his head and looked at her coldly, he came to Zhang's house for Zhang Jian'an, what's the matter with these people?He still remembers those things in Hwaseong back then. Who of these people really had a lot of affection for Zhang Jian'an back then, and who cared about him except Zhang Jian'an?

Therefore, if the Zhang family wanted to act like a benefactor in front of Xiang Weiding, he would not accept it. At the same time, because these people excluded Zhang Jianan, Xiang Weiding didn't have a good impression of these Zhang family members.

"Lily, you have to call him brother, you know?" Zhang Jian'an was also a little angry. His own child is so good, so he doesn't need others to say it in that tone.

"Little uncle..." Lili pouted, and then, amidst Zhang Jianan's sinking face, she reluctantly called out to Xiang Weiding: "Brother."

Then he felt that he had lost face, let out a "hum", and sat back beside Xiaosong.

(It’s a pity, but it’s true that time has passed for too long, and the feelings of the past have been lost. I worked hard, but I can’t get them back. I originally wanted to write a side story to supplement and improve “Adoption”, but I took the task to do this. Then... I can't write more, and I lack emotion! I'm sorry, forgive me.)
