ruthless here

I dreamed about him again.

There is also a father-in-law in the dream.

To be precise, that's not the father-in-law either.I dreamed that Ke Ke wanted to name the kitten, and Yoyo and I also helped to think hard.Yang Congbai said that this kitten is a descendant of his father-in-law, so it should be called "father-in-law" of course.I was very angry, "How do you explain it to the child? Can the child understand what a father-in-law is?!"

"Some things children will understand slowly," he argued, "it doesn't have to be explained in one breath..."

When I woke up I thought it was ridiculous.

The father-in-law is already a father-in-law, so how can there be any descendants.Even if they left offspring before becoming a father-in-law, how long has passed, and it is impossible for them to be as young as they are now.

... It's just a dream, I take it so seriously.

I don't know what happened to my father-in-law afterwards.

I don't know if it will still lie at the door of Mingguang Building No. [-], basking in the sun like no one else is there.

I still remember that Yang Congbai once led me to seek asylum from my father-in-law wishfully.Although looking back now, it is just a shallow fragment in the years that I did not understand.

At that time, I was a freshman, and I was confused about everything. I didn't hear anyone talk about the scholarship until the end of the semester.Although I usually study hard, I really don't think about money.I didn't really want to ask the brothers and sisters in this department, so I ran to ask Su Zhe.Because Su Zhe is the top student among top students, it is said that he has won the National Award for two consecutive years.Not to mention that it was ten years ago, even now, 8000 yuan is a lot of money in my heart!

By the way, Yang Congbai is another consecutive recipient of national awards from the Department of Medicine, but I guess the money is nothing to him, so I am not ashamed to ask him.

I asked Su Zhe, how can I win the national award?

"It's simple," Su Zhe said, "You have a high grade point, and you can rank first."

"..."

"Or tie for first place."

Probably seeing that I was gnashing my teeth, Su Zhe smiled. He said something that impressed me very much, although that sentence sounded very embarrassing at the time.He said, "Brother, I was chosen to be a doctor."

Before I could ask him who was selected by him, he smiled and asked me again, "Are you also selected to repair computers?"

"Depend on!"

This is a blatant mockery!

"I'm studying computers, brother! It's not computer maintenance!"

Since Su Zhe failed my whole heart, I had no choice but to ask Yang Congbai.

At that time, I already knew that the gap between people had to be admitted.Regardless of talent or intelligence, many things cannot be achieved with hard work.But at that time, Yang Congbai was so perfect in my heart, even if there was even the slightest possibility, I wanted to be like him.

I complained to Yang Congbai, Su Zhe not only did not encourage me to study hard, but also said that I repaired computers.

"How could he do this?"

Yang Congbai criticized sternly.

But I could see that he wanted to laugh very much.

"Brother!"

He cleared his throat hastily, "I can tell you my secret."

"Okay!"

Probably because I was too devout, Yang Congbai shared his secrets with me very seriously.He said that he would go to pay his respects to his father-in-law before the exam and ask for his blessing.

This answer is almost the same as that of Su Zhe.

But he took it too seriously!He also said, "I can introduce you to my father-in-law."

I must have known then that he was bluffing me!Otherwise, how stupid am I? !Since I'm not stupid, maybe it's because he is more sincere than Su Zheyi, so I really followed him.

It was already a cold winter, and my father-in-law was much plumper, and he was even more indifferent to people.But Yang Congbai is always an exception, after all, his father-in-law always dotes on him.He hugged his father-in-law into his arms and gently scratched his chin.The father-in-law squinted his eyes comfortably, with a look of enjoyment.

I sincerely sighed, "I really envy my father-in-law who doesn't need to take the exam."

Yang Congbai smiled. He held one of his father-in-law's front paws and handed it to me, still muttering, "Lend me some fairy energy, Keke 4.0."

Thinking about it now, that scene is really ridiculous.He is a medical student!If the gods are useful, what do doctors need to do.But at that time, my admiration for him was so blind that I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. I thought that it must be Yang Congbai. If it were me, my father-in-law would never let me hug him, let alone hold him. .

The opportunity was so rare, I quickly grabbed my father-in-law's holy paw and made a pious promise.

"Elder-in-law bless me Keke 4.0! Bless me to win the national award! When I have money, I will go buy cat food for Eunuch!"

It’s amazing to say that my father-in-law seemed to understand my wish, he let out a slow cry, and then lazily retracted his paws.

"...It agreed?"

I asked idiotically.

"Ah."

Yang Congbai nodded firmly.

He held the paw that his father-in-law had just withdrawn in his own hand, "The exam is coming soon, and I will also borrow a little fairy spirit."

The father-in-law glanced at him and seemed to understand, but as if out of some kind of tacit understanding, it didn't respond.

Later, I got my wish and won the National Award.

Later, before several major exams, I would still go to pay my respects to my father-in-law. Without Yang Congbai, I would naturally not be able to get such a big blessing, but fortunately, sincerity is good.

Later, I no longer had to ask my father-in-law.

When we graduated and left school, Zimo and I left the rest of the cat food with Aunt Song, the dormitory supervisor. After all, there were too many things we couldn’t take away.

The next morning, I was woken up by Ke Ke's serial calls.

"Uncle, have you gone out?...You haven't gotten up yet?!..."

She said that she and the kitten and father were waiting for us, and told us to start without delay.She reported to me there with great interest, saying that the kitten woke up very early, drank milk powder in the morning, and the kitten's poop was very smelly, but the kitten was very smart and would use cat litter to cover up the smell.Ke Ke also said that she has already thought of several alternative names, and we will help her make a decision together in the past.

"What's there?" I shrank under the quilt and asked Coco.

Hmph, if Yang Congbai really dares to name my daughter's kitten Eunuch, then I will punch him again!

"There are so many! 'Babe', 'Smelly', 'Feifei'..."

...Wait, wait, there seems to be something strange mixed in?

"Father said he likes 'Feifei' the most! Uncle Yu, why don't you come here? If you don't bring Yoyo here again, I'll call the kitty 'Feifei'!"

and many more!

I was a carp and sat up from the bed.

How dare you, Yang Congbai, dare to blatantly provoke our father-daughter relationship!

"Father also said that the temperature is cooling today, you should wear more!"

Yoyo had already come knocking on the door, I couldn't help being attacked from both sides, so I had to leave the door early.

The north wind blew all night, as if the season had changed.

As soon as I entered the door, I fell into the enthusiastic noise of the little ghosts. Yang Congbai took the fruit from my hand, "Why do you wear so little?"

"Is it less?" I looked down at myself, "I came here by car."

"I'm afraid you'll freeze."

"I'm already this big..."

Before I finished speaking, I sneezed and my face was slapped.

He brought the tissue for me, "I told you to wear more."

I corrected him while blowing my nose, "You mean to ask me to put on more clothes for Yoyo."

"..."

"Hey!" I suddenly remembered, "I forgot something in the car..."

I turned around to go out, but was pulled back by Yang Congbai, "Give me the car keys."

"No, I'll come up when I go down."

He suddenly reached into my trouser pocket and took out the car keys.

My whole body is not well.

"Forgot what?" he asked me.

"...clothes," I gestured to him clumsily, "I bought them for Ke Ke, and put them in a red bag."

He took his coat and went out.

Under Coco's recommendation, I finally met that childhood version of my father-in-law.

The cat in Coco's arms is so small and docile.Yoyo gently caressed the kitten, gentle and gentlemanly, as if he could protect something even when he was little.

My heart melts when I see it.

"Dad, the kitten is so cute..."

It's really cute.

I really want to hug it too.But in front of the two children, I really can't speak.I watched Yoyo carry the kitten over and put it on his own stomach, it must be very warm.

If the father-in-law was changed, it would be unbearable.

Yang Congbai brought the dress up, I was still apprehensive, but he said that I chose the right one, the yellow one was indeed better.

Ke Ke was very happy when she put on a new dress. She twirled beautifully in front of the mirror a few times, put her arms around my neck and said thank you sweetly, and even let me kiss my cheek so generously that I almost didn’t know my last name. .

But Yang Congbai was spoiling the scene, "It's cold now, such a thin skirt can only be worn at home, not outside."

He is clearly jealous!

I argued, "You can wear it in a coat!"

"No. Keke, put on your sweater tomorrow." He looked at me again after he finished speaking, "And you too."

Coco was very disappointed, "Dad!..."

"It's okay to wear it in a down jacket, right?" I was still not reconciled, "Ke Ke, uncle will buy you a down jacket tonight!"

"I do not want!"

Unexpectedly, Coco actually voted against it.

"I don't want to be the first in my class to wear down!"

Actually? !

hateful! !

Yang Congbai gave me a half-smile and half-smile look, as if to say that he won this game.

We had some noodles for lunch.Ke Ke told me that she and her father went to the supermarket downstairs to buy a lot of vegetables early in the morning, "I will make a big meal tonight!"

I prayed secretly that he wouldn't pack it for me again.

After lunch, Yang Congbai insisted that the two little ghosts take a nap, after all, "kittens also need to rest."

Coco and Yoyo are of course 1 unwilling.

With a straight face, Yang Cong showed the majesty of the head of the family, "Uncle Yu won't bring you here if you don't obey me."

"you're lying!"

Can you not believe it.

"Then ask Uncle Yu to see if Dad is lying to you."

...How could he say such a thing.

Maybe he just said it without intention, but I feel that he seems to be coercing me to lie with him.

"Uncle! Dad lied to me, right?"

I looked at Yang Congbai, and he was also looking at me.

"...How could Dad lie to you." I pinched Ke Ke's cheek, "Ke Ke is obedient, otherwise uncle won't come again in the future."

Yoyo gave up resisting, "Then can we put the kitten to sleep first?"

Yang Congbai lowered his eyes, I knew he definitely didn't do it on purpose.

After coaxing the little ghosts to bed, Yang Congbai and I cleaned up the living room together, although the place would turn into a mess again immediately after the children woke up.Yang Congbai carefully moved the cat's nest to the floor-to-ceiling window, where the afternoon sun was warm.

He squatted down to see the kitten sleeping soundly, and I walked over and squatted down.

We just looked at it like this, as if we were watching our father-in-law together.

"Do you want to touch it?" Yang Congbai asked me.

I hesitated, stretched out my hand, and carefully stroked the smooth back of the kitten with my fingertips.It seemed to notice something in its sleep, its eyelids moved slightly, and I quickly retracted my hand.

"Wonder what they'll name the kitten," he said.

"Anyway, you can't call me father-in-law."

He looked at me in surprise, "No."

It's not like what I dreamed about.

He said, "Elder-in-law is ours."

"..."

I suddenly had an urge to cry.

"You still remember your father-in-law."

I thought he was stupid, "I don't have amnesia, why don't I remember?!"

He smiled and didn't go any further.

"You wear too little, let me find you some clothes to wear back at night."

He stood up as he spoke, and I had no choice but to follow him.He took me to a room that was probably his bedroom, opened the closet, and I couldn't help but sigh, "You really have a lot of clothes."

He seemed a little embarrassed, and I was even more impolite, "That's right, when you were in school, you used to do it every day."

He hesitated for a moment, "...you come with me."

So I was inexplicably taken to another room by him. He opened the door, and I was stunned by the shock.

Yang Congbai, he is a man, he actually has a whole room full of clothes!

Is he going to be a star? !

I leaned on the door frame and laughed wildly, he was a little embarrassed, "Is it so funny?"

"Yes! So you are so smug?"

"..." He gave up struggling, "Yeah, how about it, hot eyes?"

"It's too hot!" I couldn't stop thinking, "Why are you dressed up like this? No one can see the suit and white coat, right?"

He gave me a resentful look, then turned around and helped me pick out a coat.When I handed it to me, I was still muttering, "I told you to wear more, but you didn't listen."

"You said you asked me to wear more clothes for Yoyo, but I gave him a lot of clothes!"

He turned the collar out for me, "Are you jealous?"

ha?

Is he out of his mind? !

I should have made a retched face, and then taunted him with "what a rich imagination." But all I could do was lower my head to press the button of the cuff, and he also buttoned the other hand.

"..."

He took a step back and looked at me, seemingly satisfied.

"Put it on and go."

"I'll pay you back tomorrow."

"gave it to you."

"I do not want."

"...It's not for nothing," he said, "Come and help me cook."

"..."

Yang Congbai's clothes should be quite expensive, since I took advantage, of course I have to be more active.He handed me a menu, written in pencil, very realistic, my mother only does this when she cooks New Year's Eve dinner.

I told him not to make too much, "Who will eat the leftovers?"

"Isn't there you? I like the leftovers the most."

He deliberately came to expose my shortcomings, so I quit, "Then why don't you eat it?"

"I'm in charge of cooking."

I immediately grabbed the half-cut tomato in my hand and asked him, "Then what should I do?"

He knew he was wrong, so he had to change his mind, "Then you and Yoyo come here once in a while, I don't want to do more."

"..."

"If you came tomorrow, I wouldn't have to do so much today."

"..."

I didn't answer his words, and he didn't say anything.After preparing the dishes, I went to wake up Yoyo and Coco, and after they got up, I went to wake up the kitten.I've been exhorting and exhorting, don't spoil the kitten.When the dishes were served one after another, the two little ghosts ran to the kitchen and announced loudly to us that the kitten already had a name.

"Because Yoyo is called Yoyo and Keke is called Keke, so the kitten is called Maomao!"

"No problem!" I clapped my hands and applauded.

Yang Congbai smiled, "I still prefer..."

"It's time to eat," I interrupted him hastily, "Go and wash your hands! You can't touch cats after you wash your hands!"

"The cat is very clean!"

Coco held up her hands to show me.

I don't doubt it at all.Maybe Yang Congbai's cat is cleaner than mine.

"Ke Ke, let's wash our hands!" Yoyo said patiently, "Anyway, you always wash your hands before eating."

Ke Ke was a little reluctant, and turned to me, "Then uncle, you have to wash it too!"

Before I agreed, Yang Congbai said, "Father is watching him."

"..."

In order not to have him watching, I washed my hands right away.

We sat down to eat, and Yang Congbai's cooking skills were naturally beyond words.Even if he doesn't become a doctor, he can probably become a very good cook... Being a doctor is so hard, so worrying, why does he choose to live such a trivial and hard life for a person who can obviously live a fairy life by lying down and eating bonuses? ?

I never thought about his choice.

"……dad!"

"what?!"

I came back to my senses, and Yoyo shook my arm and begged, "Let's raise a cat too!"

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

"But Dad can only raise one." I made a distressed look, trying to kill his evil thoughts, "Dad has already raised Yoyo, so he can't raise kittens."

Yoyo pouted in disappointment, but he was very sensible and didn't ask me why.

But the young lady who doesn't know the sufferings of the world is different.

"Hello uncle, you are so stingy!" Ke Ke defended Yoyo, "Come to my house, Yoyo! My father can raise a lot!"

It's a beautiful idea!

I squinted at the little girl, "Yuyou won't go to your house!"

Yoyo also expressed his opinion immediately, and he nodded firmly.

Check it out!

Ke Ke disapprovingly "Hmph!"

Yang Congbai smiled, just lowered his head and drank the soup.

I took a mouthful of rice triumphantly, but Ke Ke shook her head and suddenly acted coquettishly at me.

"Then uncle also come together, dad can also raise uncle!"

"puff!"

Yang Congbai and I sprayed out at the same time.

I pulled out a few pieces of paper in a panic to pick up rice grains, Yang Congbai had already regained his composure and composure one step ahead of me.

"I'm okay with that," he said.

I crumpled up the paper in my hand and threw it in his face.

In the end, there were still a lot of food left over. I knew that Yang Congbai would not eat leftovers, so I wanted to pack them up and take them away.Unexpectedly, he regretted it again and refused to let him say anything.

"I have all these lunch boxes ready-made!" I negotiated with him kindly, "Just let me bring some."

"No."

"Then you do so much?!"

"Who knew you ate so little."

"Blame me?!"

I stuffed a piece of meat into my mouth before he took the leftovers away, and he glanced at me, but said nothing.I didn't realize until he walked away that I was too eager to snatch it just now, and accidentally took his chopsticks...Damn it!I picked up the water glass and gulped a few sips.

Don't pay too much attention to it. Anyway, shameless, black-bellied, self-talking, and self-righteousness should not be contagious through saliva.

I took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, and he was washing the dishes, looking like he had nothing else to do.

He is always focused when he does something.

"Does anyone use your dishwasher?"

"Aunt Fang occasionally uses it."

"..."

He thought I was genuinely interested in dishwashers, "Would you like to try it?"

"no need!"

He smiled, "If you try it, it will be your responsibility to do the dishes in the future."

"..."

He is getting more and more shameless.

Wouldn't it be nice to take advantage of a few words with your mouth? !

I can't be bothered to talk to him.

He handed me the washed dishes, and I dried them off and stacked them together.He turned on the hot water, and the plate was still warm when he took it in his hand, maybe it was his too.In the middle of the wash, I saw his sleeves slipping down. I reached out and rolled them for him. He looked at me as if he was going to ask me why I did this.

I hate myself for being owed.

"Yu Fei." He said suddenly, "Wu Yitong is going back to America, she said she wanted to take another look at Keke before leaving."

"..."

I have a hunch that the conversation that follows may not be so pleasant.

"I've already said no," he said.

"..."

"What do you think?"

"Then you still ask me?"

"..."

He always does.Do what's right for him and ask me what I think.

Did he think I would applaud him? !

"She is Coco's mother and she has visitation rights."

He watched the trickle from the faucet and didn't speak.

"Aren't you afraid that she will sue you?!"

"She won't."

His calmness can even be regarded as cold.It's as if he knows that everything is no longer what it used to be, and now he has become the strong side, and he will not lose.

Why is he not like this in front of me?

"You're not afraid that I'll sue you, are you?"

He looked up at me, "Would you?"

... His brain is really broken!

"I won't!" I felt angry, and today I have to make it clear to him no matter what, "Yang Congbai, I know you don't want to part with Keke, and if someone says they want to take Yoyo away, I won't either. But I am her biological father, she came into this world because of me, I want to be responsible to her! You can't deprive me of this right!...Besides, Ke Ke is still young, and she will not remember what is going on now But Yang Congbai, you still have most of your life! You don't have to do this at all... You think about it, and you don't have to answer me right away. You can let me try to take care of her first. She has me, and in the future you When you meet the right person, you can start a new family..."

"Yu Fei," he interrupted me, "I can tell you right now, you don't even think about it." His voice was very low, no emotion could be heard, "Do you want cocoa?"

I can't answer anymore.

"...I know," he seemed to mutter, but in a low voice, so clearly, "it's like trying to trade yourself. You wouldn't do that."

Until I took Yoyo out, he didn't say a word to me again.
