ruthless here

I regret agreeing to Yoyo.

He would ask me every day, "Dad, when are we going to see Uncle Yang?"

I told him that Uncle Yang's illness has recovered, so there is no need to worry. "But Dad," he reminded me, "we're talking about seeing him when he's better."

I was a little helpless, "You miss him that much?"

"Yeah." Yoyo's face showed a little sadness, "Dad, don't you miss him?"

"..."

I said that Uncle Yang is very busy at work, we will go when he is not busy.I prayed silently in my heart, praying that Yoyo would forget about this matter in a few days.But Sister Li suddenly called, saying that Xiaocheng was going to celebrate her tenth birthday, and asked me to take Youyou to the birthday party.

This is called being able to escape the first day of junior high school, but not the fifteenth day.

Don't you rich people take turns celebrating your children's birthdays all year round?

I really couldn't stand Sister Li's enthusiasm, so I had no choice but to agree.And I really should go, after all, Sister Li is always so kind to me.

What's more, just because Yang Congbai and I can't be friends doesn't mean that Yoyo, Xiaocheng and Keke can't be friends either.

When I thought that I would walk into their Yang's house as a guest, I was so embarrassed that my scalp went numb.

After agreeing to Sister Li, I thought about it all night, thinking about what gift I should bring, and what I should say when I met Yang Congbai.It would be best if I didn't have to talk to him, even better if he didn't show up.But it was Xiaocheng's birthday, so he would definitely go.If I have to say one, it should be me who doesn't show up.

Well, maybe he thought so too...

Before going to bed, I received another call from Yang Congbai.

"I heard from my sister-in-law that she wants you to celebrate Xiaocheng's birthday."

"...Ah yes, she asked me to take Yoyo there."

"are you going?"

"I'll go."

I don't feel comfortable being asked by him. I still have to report to you if I go or not?

"Sister Li called me specifically, so I have to go."

He was silent for a moment, as if he wanted to defend himself, "I didn't know she would call you, and she didn't ask me."

What is this called?

I feel even more uncomfortable. Does Sister Li need your approval to ask me?

"It's okay, it's Xiaocheng's birthday, and Yoyo definitely wants to go too..."

"If you don't want to go, I can tell her for you."

Here he is again.

He can't stay out of my business.

"I don't care." I was a little angry, "If you don't want me to go, I won't go."

"It's okay if I don't go."

"..."

"If you don't want to see me."

It seems that after so many years, he still hasn't improved at all.

Self-righteousness makes the teeth itch.

"Are you particularly afraid that your family will know?"

"..."

"Are you particularly afraid that I will ask you for cocoa?"

"..."

His silence made me gnash my teeth even more. I wanted to say something more, but for a while, I couldn't think of anything more powerful.

"You will not."

"..."

"I know you won't."

"..."

He really knows.

He expected that I would not tell others about it, as if he knew that there was nothing I could do about him.

We were deadlocked in silence, as if we must decide the outcome.

"I want to take Keke to buy Xiaocheng a birthday present on the weekend," he finally said, "If you are free, bring Yoyo along."

"I'm busy."

"...Ke Ke said she missed you."

How can it be? !

Being poked in pain, I became even angrier, "Don't lie about your child!"

"Some things are not what you think." He paused and asked again, "Did Yoyo miss me?"

"..."

How cunning he is!

"Saturday morning, I'll pick you up."

"..."

"I specially took time off for Coco's ballet class. I heard that she is going out with you, and she has already picked out several dresses."

...This rotten person!

You have already told the child, why are you asking me hypocritically? !

"Is ten o'clock okay?"

"……too early."

"What about eleven o'clock?"

"too late!"

He smiled, "Then I'll be there at 10:30."

"..."

"The weather forecast says it will rain in the afternoon, so let's go out early, and at night..."

Mother-in-law.

Before he finished speaking, I hung up the phone.

The happiest thing is Yoyo.Seeing him looking forward to it so much, I can't be completely indifferent.

Perhaps what Yang Congbai said is true, and Keke misses me too.

But I dare not expect anything.

Yang Congbai said he drove over.The roads in my old neighborhood are complicated, and I was afraid that he would not be able to find it, so I posted a location and wrote a very detailed route, telling him how to get there.

After a long time, he said, "I see."

I suddenly remembered that he had actually followed me back.It was the day I went to see Wu Yitong.

On that day, he asked me if I only wanted cocoa.

Yang Congbai took us to a newly opened shopping mall nearby. There are indoor entertainment facilities for children, which is very suitable for family outings.

We arrived early, the mall had just opened, and there were very few people.In the lobby on the first floor, a certain car brand was holding an event, distributing balloons, Ke Ke and Yoyo went to get one, and Yang Congbai and I also received the advertising brochures.

Yang Congbai saw that this kind of advertisement was okay, so I don't need it.

When I passed by the information desk, I saw the opening ceremony of the mall, and I could get a discount if I got a membership card.Yang Congbai took a form to fill out, and I took one too.

"Sir," the staff said to me with some embarrassment, "We have a regulation here, and each family can only have one."

see hell.

"I'm not in the same family as him?"

"I'm sorry sir, this is our policy."

Is it because the whole family can't see it and still talk about some bullshit rules with me?

"No, I'm with him..."

Yoyo suddenly shouted, "Dad! There are dinosaurs over there!"

Coco also found out, "Wait for me!"

"Hey? Don't run away!"

The brats had already run away, Yang Congbai turned around and handed me the membership card, "Okay, let's go."

"..."

I had to put down the form in my hand.

On the way here, Ke Ke told us that she would choose a racing car for Xiao Cheng.She showed me and Yoyo the video of Xiaocheng playing racing at home, and I thought to myself, thinking that Yoyo must never like this.I can still afford a racing car, but I can't afford a house that can run a racing car!

"I want to give Brother Xiaocheng this!"

Yoyo picked out a naive Totoro doll, he said that Totoro was posted on Xiao Cheng's piano score, he would definitely like it.Fortunately, it was not very expensive, and it was discounted again. I was secretly thankful for my wallet, when Yoyo suddenly said to me, "Brother Xiaocheng also asked about my birthday, and he also said that he would play the piano for me when I celebrated my birthday." listen."

"Xiao Cheng lied to you!" Ke Ke said loudly, "He hates practicing the piano the most!"

"Brother Xiaocheng won't lie!"

Yang Congbai also stopped and turned around to wait for us.

I touched Yoyo's head, "That's good, we can look forward to it!"

But Yoyo became very embarrassed.

"Actually, Brother Xiaocheng told me what gift he wanted for his birthday, but..."

I find it unbelievable that Xiaocheng is a well-educated child, so he probably wouldn't take the initiative to ask for anything.

I knelt down and asked Yoyo, "What gift did Xiaocheng ask you for?"

Youyou was even more embarrassed, "Brother Xiaocheng said that he wanted to kiss me."

……What? ! !

wait a minute ? !

Ke Ke was very disapproving at the side, "I can kiss you right now!" She hugged Yoyo's face and kissed her hard, "Look!" She said she wanted to kiss the other side too, I fucking completely Panic!

"No!" I held her back, "Don't make trouble! Youyou didn't wash your face this morning..."

"Dad, I washed it!"

Ke Ke broke away from me and put her hands on her hips, "Uncle, you are so stingy!"

I solemnly handed the Totoro in my hand to Yoyo, "This is Xiaocheng's birthday present! Don't give me anything else!"

"But Brother Xiaocheng..."

"No, no, no!"

"dad……"

Yoyo was obviously frightened by me.

I also realized my gaffe, and was about to make up with a few words of comfort, but Keke took the opportunity to hug Yoyo and make up for the kiss I didn't kiss just now!

She even rolled her eyes at me!

Ahhhhh! ! !If this isn't my own daughter, I won't beat her ass! ……hateful! ! !

I couldn't do anything to Ke Ke, so I had to point the finger at Yang Congbai, "What are you laughing at?!"

He showed an innocent look, probably because he saw that I was really fierce, so he coughed lightly.He came over and grabbed the two little ghosts. "Anyone want ice cream?" He said, "There's a shop downstairs, and you can make small animals..."

"want!"

Coco quickly raised her hand.

"Uncle, can you be a kitten?..."

Ten minutes later, Yang Congbai and I sat side by side on the bench and ate ice cream silently. In the huge soft-rope Rubik's cube in front of us, two little ghosts were jumping up and down inside.

The number of people gradually increased, and Yang Congbai's balloon tied to the water bottle was particularly conspicuous. Parents kept coming to ask us where we bought it, so we had to take the trouble to tell them that they can get it for free at the car booth.

I casually opened the advertisement brochure and admired it.

"Which one do you think is better?"

Yang Congbai asked me.

"Of course it is this one!"

I pointed to the one I thought was the best looking, and he smiled.

I was a little angry, "I don't understand cars."

"You can ask Xiaocheng, he will be happy to teach you."

"..."

He added, "Xiaocheng is a good boy, and so is Yoyo. They will definitely be excellent in the future."

That sounds suspicious.

"What do you mean? You don't have to be weird here!"

He smiled and dug a scoop of ice cream, "Why do you think so much?"

He still has the face to say?

If I could have thought a little more, I wouldn't have made it like this!

I call this preventive measures before they happen!

He still has the face to joke with me, "Anyway, the choice is in Yoyo's hands, and you won't suffer."

"..."

I want to shove ice cream in his face!

Before I could make a move, Yang Congbai answered the phone.After hanging up the phone, there was no longer a smile on his face, "Su Zhe told me to go back for an operation."

As soon as I heard it was a serious matter, I was afraid of delaying him, so I hurriedly told him to leave quickly.

He handed me the ice cream in his hand, stood up and called for Coco.After a while, two little ghosts ran over steaming, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe Ke Ke's sweat, "Dad received a call from Uncle Su Zhe and has to go to the hospital."

"what……"

Coco looked disappointed.

He looked back at me, touched Ke Ke's forehead again, "Are you going with Dad? Or play with Yoyo for a while?"

Ke Ke pouted, looking like he was reluctant to part with Yang Congbai, but also didn't play enough.

"Maybe we can play for a while longer," I knew Yang Congbai couldn't delay, "Uncle will take you home after playing enough, let's wait for Dad to come back together, shall we?"

Coco looked up at me, then nodded.

"Then be good and listen to uncle."

Yang Congbai took out the car keys and gave them to me, but I didn't answer them, "You can drive, I'll take them away by taxi."

He didn't say any more, said goodbye to Coco and Yoyo, turned around and slipped into the crowd.

I wanted to tell him to drive slowly, but I didn't have time to say it.

The next half day was a huge test for me.

I had lunch outside alone with two children, and Ke Ke accidentally spilled borscht on the skirt (it is said that it was a beautiful dress carefully selected for going out with me), but her spare clothes were in the Yang Congbai's car.I coaxed her to be okay, this little stain was not visible at all, and it didn't hinder her beauty at all.But the little fairy disagreed and insisted on replacing it with a new one.Yoyo even volunteered to lend Keke the pants she brought.I threw up my hands and found a children's clothing store and bought Coco a new dress.

When swiping the card, I shamefully ached.

Ke Ke comforted me domineeringly, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely ask Dad to return the money to you!"

"..."

I really want to tell her that this is the father and that is the uncle.But Dad has never done anything for you, and now he has the opportunity to take you to a meal and buy a dress, all thanks to an unknown patient.

But I can't say this.

I think if there is one person who can tell her the truth, that person should be Yang Congbai who raised her, only he has that qualification.

Coco was in high spirits after she had a new look, and she dragged me to hold the doll, unfortunately, I am very good at this.When I caught the fifth doll, Coco's admiration for me reached its peak, and she even became sweet when she spoke.We also looked at the kittens in the pet store for a long time, and bought a lot of snacks in the imported supermarket on the basement floor.I told them repeatedly that the weather forecast said it would rain in the evening, and they reluctantly sent me home.

The moment I closed the car door, I finally let out a sigh of relief.

In order to raise two children, I had to find someone to marry first.If there are two people, maybe it doesn't matter if you raise three. Isn't that how a family has children?

I fumbled for the key.

It seems like I haven't been here for a long time.

As soon as we walked in, it started to rain heavily.Yoyo was already very tired and said he was going to sleep. I changed his clothes, and he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the sofa.

"When will Dad come back?" Coco asked me.

"Dad is operating on a patient."

"Then can he be faster?" Ke Ke discussed with me.

"That can't be done," I patiently explained to her, "If there is a mistake in anxiety, the patient will not be able to be cured..."

When Coco heard this, she had to give up reluctantly.Then he turned to me and said, "Then dad doesn't know when he will be back, why don't you cook first, uncle."

"..."

She's pretty good at making arrangements? !

I'm almost paralyzed from exhaustion, but what can I do? ...The angel in white couldn't be counted on.

"Okay! Wait for uncle to see what's in the refrigerator. Keke can sleep too?"

"Ok!"

She ran back to her room to change clothes, and I moved Yoyo into a more comfortable position.When Ke Ke came back to look for me, she was so sleepy that she rubbed her eyes, "Uncle, why don't you go?"

Yang Congbai was not at home, she was probably a little scared.

"Of course uncle won't leave." I helped her untangle her messy braids and put them back together with my hands, "Ke Ke sleep well first, uncle will cook for you, and you can eat when you wake up."

She nodded and came over and squeezed into my arms.

How I feel now can be described as "flattered".

And she didn't feel it, she hugged my arm coquettishly and said, "Don't forget that there is Dad, you cook for Dad, okay?"

There seems to be a puddle of water in my heart, shaking and shaking.

"……OK."

She relaxed and looked at me again, as if she had made a very important decision.

"Uncle, wait a minute!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and ran away, and came over with a photo album in her arms after a while.She put the photo album on my lap, opened it with some difficulty, and then expertly found one from it.

I was so surprised I didn't know what to do.

She was even more embarrassed than I was, "Uncle, the Sailor Moon standing in the middle is you, right?"

Yang Congbai, I can't stop talking to you...

"Sorry, I broke your phone earlier."

I thought she had forgotten it a long time ago, but unexpectedly, she actually cared a lot.

"I've seen my dad look at this picture secretly." She was very serious, trying to explain something to me, "I asked him what he was looking at, and he said there was a very important person on it...he missed him very much. "

He misses him a lot.

"I said there is no one here, only Sailor Moon."

"..."

"He said it was the one in the middle."

Ke Ke was a little aggrieved, "He never said that he would miss his mother."

"..."

She was so sad, and it made me so sad.

"Uncle," she looked at me eagerly, "will you forgive me?"

How can she make me forgive?

What qualifications do I have to forgive?

"...Of course uncle forgives you."

She was happy, took the photo back with a sigh of relief, and kissed me loudly.She put her arms around my neck and asked me cautiously, "Uncle, you won't take Dad away?"

I'm a little confused.

I take him away?

Keke became anxious when she couldn't get my answer, "I can't live without my father!"

"Will not!"

I held her in my arms, heartbroken.

"Uncle won't take Dad away. Dad likes Coco the most. He won't go with Uncle."

Coco was relieved.

"Then uncle, don't leave too? I'm afraid Dad will be sad."

"..."

"Just like if Yoyo left, I would be sad..."

"..."

"We'll be like this all the time, that's enough!" She said, pointing out her little finger to me, "Uncle, promise me!"

"..."

"uncle?"

"...Uncle promises you."

I hook her up, that's the only thing I can do.

She gave me a big hug.
