Don't suffer Lao Tzu

Shen Qing nodded calmly, "OK."

Tang Jianye smiled peacefully and said, "Let's go by the river and let the wind blow."

"Okay." Facing Dad Tang, Shen Qing seemed to suddenly return to the nervous mood of a freshman interview, afraid of saying the wrong sentence, so she cherished words like gold.

The evening wind is cool and cool, and the fishy smell of aquatic plants rushes towards us from time to time.

Shen Qing, known as a top student by everyone, is currently typing a perfect draft in her mind to answer Uncle Tang's question.

Tang Jianye was not in a hurry. After walking more than 100 meters, he looked at the sparkling river under the moonlight with a gentle face.

"A few years ago, this river wasn't so fishy..." Tang Jianye wondered, and when he suddenly said such a sentence, Shen Qing was stunned for a few seconds, and agreed,

"The pollution is serious, and with the recent lack of rain and the closure of upstream dams, the smell is a bit stronger."

Tang Jianye put his hands behind his back, as if he was looking for a leader, "Is there any fish?"

"Yes, but not as big as it was a few years ago. They are all fish fry." Shen Qing said, feeling that the topic had gone off track, but the soldiers came to cover it up.

"Oh," Tang Jianye nodded, and continued walking with his hands behind his back.

The two walked for a while, Tang Jianye looked at the sky, it was scarlet,

"It's finally going to rain." Tang Jianye said.

"Yeah." Shen Qing seemed to be flattering, and he would add something after what the uncle said, so it would not be very embarrassing.

Tang Jianye looked at the sky again, "The rain is not small, look at this cloud, it is fiery red."

Shen Qing looked up obediently, "It's raining in autumn and it's cold, it's time to add more clothes."

Tang Jianye pursed his lips after hearing this, and nodded in approval, "The things left by our ancestors are very useful."

Seeing her uncle gossip about him, Shen Qing became even more nervous.

A flash of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, turning the night into day, and the blurred water plant in the distance was instantly illuminated.

Shocked, Shen Qing opened her eyes wide and looked at the sky.

As if the huge sky was pressing down on the top, there was muffled thunder from all sides, which was deafening and made people tremble.

Uncle Tang's intuition was as sensitive as Tang Shishi's. The rain was not only pouring, but also turbulent.

Raindrops the size of soybeans crackled and hit the two of them.

"The bridge hole in front!" Tang Jianye covered his head with both hands and rushed over.

Shen Qing pulled the jacket over her head and followed.

In less than ten seconds, Uncle Tang turned into a water figure, with water dripping from the tips of his hair, and smoke rose from the ground outside the bridge opening instantly.

Shen Qing immediately took off the jacket and turned her hand to take off the half sleeve inside to dry Uncle Tang's hair.

Tang Jianye immediately stopped him, "No need."

Shen Qing stopped the movements in her hands, obediently put on her jacket and stood aside.

Tang Jianye looked at the pouring rain and said with a smile, "It won't stop for a while."

"Yeah." Shen Qing put it in her pocket, and her fingertips shrank back when they touched the cold knife handle.

"How long have you been with Eleven?" Tang Jianye looked at the rain curtain and said indifferently, his tone seemed to be talking about homework.

Shen Qing froze for a moment, then truthfully replied, "More than a month."

One month and eight days, Shen Qing felt that it would be naive to say the change.

"How did you know each other?" Tang Jianye looked back at Shen Qing.

"He rescued an abused puppy. I happened to be on duty that day, and I met him in the haunted house before." Shen Qing said.

Tang Jianye listened quietly, and was a little surprised when he mentioned the haunted house, "You young people are really having fun."

Shen Qing didn't speak, her heart was beating fast, and suddenly his hands were trembling slightly in his pockets. He hadn't had any symptoms since the racecourse last time, but the house leaked and it rained all night.

"My first meeting with Eleven's mother was also very interesting. She was still in school at that time, and she went out to buy fruit with a few friends. She walked to my stall unbiased. For some reason, his mother immediately took a fancy to me. I picked up a box of strawberries and asked me if it was sweet." Tang Jianye recalled with a smile, the sweetness and warmth in his eyes contrasted sharply with the cold rain outside.

Shen Qing stood aside and listened quietly, Tang Jianye smiled and continued,

"I said I promise it's sweet, but she didn't believe it. She neither tasted it nor made trouble. She asked me directly. If it wasn't sweet, she would be friends with me. We were friends at that time, which meant being together, and I said it very implicitly."

"And then?" Shen Qing asked.

"Later, I just opened that box of strawberries and ate it in front of her, telling her that it wasn't sweet." Uncle Tang laughed, Shen Qing paused, and laughed softly, the atmosphere between the two eased a lot.

Shen Qing felt in a daze that they were like a father and son trapped in the rain, talking about the past in boredom.

"At that time, I had no skills, and all I saved was small money but I couldn't achieve anything. She insisted that I start a business, no house or car, and knocking on the door for water bills when it was the hardest time. We hid in the house with our newborn eleven In the house."

There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and the day was extinguished in an instant. Shen Qing saw some white hair on Tang Jianye's head.

"If you get through the hard times, you will be poor and afraid. If you are busy with work, you will miss the growth of the [-]th. But if you choose between regret and mediocrity, I still don't regret the choice." Tang Jianye said.

Shen Qing stood aside, looked away, and looked outside, the rain was falling more urgently.

"The first time I saw you and Eleven downstairs at home, I had a feeling... I asked about you, Eleven would not lie, I knew what was going on between you, today Seeing you...although I was mentally prepared, I was shocked." Tang Jianye said calmly.

"I'm sorry." No matter how powerful the logic and word order in the debate competition, Shen Qing finally turned into these three words in front of Uncle Tang's sincerity.

"It's understandable that they're all from the past." Tang Jianye waved his hand.

"To tell you the truth, I've never been in touch... Later, some things happened, which opened my eyes. It turns out that there are many ways to love, not only between men and women..." Tang Jianye said, Shen Qing was secretly His gaze fluctuated a little.

"I never thought of myself as an enlightened parent, but...after Eleven and you are together, it's like a different person, love to talk and laugh, and sometimes tell me and my mother about things in school , I have made a lot of friends, and I have to admit that you have had a great influence on him." Tang Jianye turned sideways to Shen Qing.

Tang Jianye looked directly into Shen Qing's eyes, "He really likes you, you are too important to him, Shen Qing."

"I know, uncle." Shen Qing's eyes were a little red, she raised her hand to cover up and rubbed the tip of her nose.

"Shen Qing, you are an excellent, down-to-earth and steady kid. Uncle knows you won't lie. Tell me, are you sincere to him? If it's just novelty and fun, you'd better break it off early. Eleven he decided never It won't change, it's been since I was a child, I don't want to see him get hurt, not at all, do you understand?" Tang Jianye suddenly became serious.

"I understand..." Shen Qing said, Tang Jianye waited for his next words,

"Uncle, I am sincere to Shi Yi, I love him." Shen Qing was extremely frank.

Both of them were silent, Shen Qing's hand was still shaking, the most nervous moment in his life must be now.

After a while, the rain became lighter, Tang Jianye sighed softly, put down the heavy stone in his heart, and said, "You guys have to be good, I will leave it to you on the eleventh, I am very relieved, you are older than him, help him more, there are some things He still doesn't understand, he's very impulsive."

I have owed Tang Shiyi all these years, and now I have to find another way to make up for it - the tacit understanding between father and son let Tang's father know that his son must be worried about this matter, if he resolves the embarrassment first, it will also help him Eleven let go of the burden in his heart, and Father Tang wanted Eleven to understand that in this warm and sometimes cold world, parents are their strongest backing.

It is both fulfillment and repayment.

Shen Qing didn't know what she was crying for, tears streaming down her face.

Maybe it was Changxing who suddenly regained understanding and forgiveness in the cold and dark and saw hope, maybe it was Tang Jianye's trust that gave him unspeakable warmth, maybe... Shenqing reminded him of his dead father .

Tang Jianye glanced at Shenqing, raised his hand and patted his back lightly, all in silence.

This may be the biggest concession he has made, and it is also the last time he can give Tang Shiyi a peaceful life.

When the phone rang, Tang Jianye saw that it was Tang's mother, and immediately picked it up with a loud voice, and he could clearly hear the voice on the side mixed with the sound of rain.

"I just called the driver and said you were back long ago. Where are you? I picked you up with an umbrella on Eleventh." Tang Ma's voice was very distinguishable. When Shen Qing heard that Eleventh was coming, she just let go of her heart. Get nervous again.

"I'm in... the bridge opening diagonally opposite the water plant, wait a little longer, the rain is about to stop." Father Tang said with a smile.

"Water plant? Why are you running so far away?" Tang Ma scolded, and Tang Shixi was a little surprised in the background sound, "Where?"

Tang Ma returned to the "Waterworks."

Tang Xiyi, who was changing his shoes and getting ready to go out, was taken aback, with a black question mark on his face, "Why did you run so far..."

"Bring two umbrellas." Tang Jianye glanced at Shenqing, and the rain seemed to be picking up again.

"Oh! - I got it! -" Tang Shiyi shouted on the phone.

Tang Jianye said a few more words to Tang Ma and hung up the phone.

"Does Auntie know?" Shen Qing asked.

"I don't know yet, I will find a suitable time to tell her." Tang Jianye said.

"Thank you." Shen Qing said in a low voice.

"Don't thank me, they are all children." Tang Jianye said.

"Also, there is one more thing..." Shen Qing gradually clenched her hands in her pockets.

"Don't be burdened, everything will be fine." Tang Jianye wanted to avoid Shen Qing's family affairs, for the self-esteem of a young and energetic boy, but he didn't expect Shen Qing to take the initiative to bring it up.

Shen Qing froze for a moment, hummed and said nothing, feeling complicated.

"Uncle..." Shen Qing said.

"Hmm." Tang Jianye saw Tang Shiyi walking quickly towards him from afar.

"Why do you trust me so much..." Shen Qing asked, no matter what the answer was, he could accept it.

Tang Jianye thought for a while, then said with a simple smile, "Because you are very similar to me when I was young."

Tang Shixi thought in his heart that Uncle Wang and his father were probably together. The black umbrella covered the sight in front of him, and he only looked at his feet. When he reached the bridge hole, as soon as he closed the umbrella, he saw the man standing next to his father who actually applied for love... ..

"Brother Qing?" Tang Shixi froze in place, his mind blank.

"My uncle and I met and came out for a walk." Shen Qing said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes." Father Tang was also happy.

Seeing the strange smiles of the two of them, Tang Shiyi always felt chills running down his back, maybe he was hallucinating from a ghost hitting the wall?

"Let's go, give me an umbrella." Tang Jianye said.

"Here." Tang Shishi handed over the umbrella, Tang Jianye took it, opened it, and left, leaving two people in place.

Tang Shixi didn't understand the situation, and looked at Shen Qing suspiciously.

Shen Qing took another umbrella with a smile, opened it and walked into the rain to wait for Tang Shishi, "Come."

Tang Shishi moved his Adam's apple and walked under the umbrella.

Tang's father didn't look back a step, and walked on his own with an umbrella to make room for the two of them.

The umbrella was not too big, so Shen Qing turned the umbrella towards Tang Shiyi. Tang Shiyi found out and pushed the umbrella back. The two of them had to squeeze under the umbrella and walked for a while.

"Brother Love..."

"Huh?" Shen Qing seemed in a particularly good mood, out of tune with the gloom of the rainy day, and pushed the umbrella over calmly.

"Why do I feel that my dad is a little weird today... I'm overthinking it?" Tang Shixi doubted himself.

"Uncle knows." Shen Qing said, turning her head to observe Tang Shishi's reaction.

Tang Shiyi was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't say a word when the arc of reflex was cured. Looking at the figure covered by the umbrella, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"He handed you over to me... are you happy?" Shen Qing continued, enjoying the current atmosphere very much.

Tang Shiyi couldn't believe it, looked at Shen Qing excitedly, his eyes sparkled, "Really?!"

"Yeah!" Shen Qing replied.

"I, I fucking want to rush into the rain right now." Tang Shiyi's excited ending was trembling.

"Me too..." Shen Qing said with a smile.

The two huddled under the umbrella, and their laughter echoed in the rain, as if this was not the autumn rain that brought the cold snap, but a grand celebration.

Tang Jianye held an umbrella in silence to avoid the puddles in front of him. Suddenly, the laughter of two children came from behind him. He paused and then laughed...
