A reed to sail

Chapter 4 I protect you!

When Yu Hang was in elementary school, he realized that his parents were different from other parents. The parents of his classmates would pick them up from school together, but his parents never did.

In fact, Yu Hang’s entire childhood was spent in the quarrels of his parents. At the beginning, he just slapped the table and threw bowls. At that time, Yu Hang was still young, and he would cry loudly when he heard the sound of porcelain breaking. Cry, they will stop and come to comfort him.

Later they started pushing and shoving, and Yu Hang was still crying, but they were immersed in their hatred for each other, and they were indifferent to Hang's tears.

When Yu Hang got a little older, he already knew that tears were useless, so he stopped crying.Once his father pushed his mother to the ground, Yu Hang tried to go to help his mother, but his father kicked him on the back.

An adult's relentless kick was really unbearable for Yu Hang, who was still a child.The mother ran to the hospital with Yu Hang in her arms, and kept saying sorry and crying while holding Yu Hang in the hospital.

Yu Hang wiped the tears from the corners of his mother's eyes with his own hands, that was the first time he felt that he was a man, because he protected his mother.

When Yu Hang was in his teens, there was already a woman on the dining table in his house. Yu Hang didn't know who that woman was, he only knew that his mother had moved out of the room he had always lived in, and that woman had moved in. .

On the night when Yu Hang saw the bruise on the corner of his mother's mouth again, he cried and begged for a long time in front of his mother.

"Mom, let's go, let's get divorced, let's leave Yuancheng together, we can go anywhere, we can live any kind of life."

"I will protect you by your side. At worst, I won't study anymore. I will go to work and earn money. Take me away!"

At that time, Yu Hang only wanted to leave that home with his mother, a home that would only bring them harm.

Xue Ting shed tears with Yu Hang, and finally nodded when she saw her crying son.

Xue Ting took Yu Hang out of the house and left Yuancheng.

"That's how I came to Beizhou"

After listening to Yu Hang's past experience in a few words, Ying Zhen burst into tears unconsciously.His heart ached like being pricked by thousands of cotton needles.Ying Zhen thinks it's good that Yu Hang finally left Yuancheng and got rid of that home.

Yu Hang has never said these things to anyone. These are the rotten roots buried deep in his heart under his bright appearance.He didn't know why he was willing to dig it out for Ying Zhen to see.

"Ying Zhen, don't sympathize with me, or I will be very sad."

The last thing Yu Hang wants is to be pitied by others, he guards his little pride and doesn't want to be pitied by anyone.

And Ying Zhen didn't feel sorry for Yu Hang, he just loved him.He stepped forward and hugged Yuhang into his arms, and said to him, "I don't sympathize with you, I will protect you in the future".

Yu Hang's scarred heart was cherished by another person in this way, and that person put it into his warm chest, wanting to help him repair every scratch on it.

Every day years ago, Ying Zhen would bring books to Yu Hang, and often bring some snacks and candy to Yu Hang, because Ying Zhen discovered that Yu Hang liked sweet things very much.

There are only 2 days left before New Year's Eve, Ying Zhen closed the book and said to Hang, "I won't come tomorrow, you take the time to read the notes I left for you"

"Yeah, I'll see"

During this period of supplementary lessons, Yu Hang has more or less learned a little bit, but Yu Hang is still not interested in learning this matter, so he can only perfunctory Ying Zhen to reassure him.

Yu Hang sent Ying Zhen out, stood in front of the iron gate and watched Ying Zhen's back go away, suddenly Ying Zhen stopped and turned around and ran in front of Yu Hang.

"Can you come out after the New Year's Eve dinner on the [-]th day?"

"what?"

"My house can finish eating at about 9 o'clock. When the time comes, you will come out after eating. I will wait for you at the door."

"Uh-huh!"

With Yu Hang's nod, Ying Zhen turned around and went home, leaving Yu Hang wondering where he was.

This was Yu Hang's first New Year's Eve in Beizhou. Xue Ming drove Xue Ting and him to the supermarket early in the morning to buy materials for the New Year's Eve dinner.

In the overcrowded supermarket, Xue Ming was pushing a shopping cart, Xue Ting was picking and choosing in front of the shelves, and Yu Hang followed behind them, looking like a family.

After queuing for a very long time, the three people squeezed out of the supermarket. The three of them took the elevator to the basement floor to pick up their car. As soon as they got off the elevator, they bumped head-on with a woman in her early twenties who looked gorgeously dressed.

"Mr. Xue, when did you get used to it? The charm of a half-aged lady still exists?"

The woman's provocative gaze moved back and forth between Xue Ting and Xue Ming, and seeing Yu Hang next to him carrying a shopping bag, she jokingly said, "I'm happy to be a father...".

Xue Ming slapped her across the face, interrupting the woman's words.Xue Ting turned pale, glanced condescendingly at the man and woman in front of her, then walked away with her head held high.

"Zheng Yan, didn't I tell you to get out of Beizhou? Is it because you don't have enough money, or do you insist on staying here looking for death?"

"I..." Zheng Yan wanted to explain, but Xue Ming didn't give her a chance to speak.

"Let me see you in Beizhou next time, and you will have no chance to get out. Believe it or not, I will kill you."

After Xue Ming finished speaking, he chased after Xue Ting who left. Yu Hang turned his head and gave Zheng Yan a disdainful look. In his heart, everyone who insulted Xue Ting should die, and Zheng Yan was no exception.

The originally good atmosphere among the three was destroyed by Zheng Yan's sudden appearance, and they became more silent and awkward.

Xue Ming drove the car without saying a word, as if he was waiting for Xue Ting to speak first. Xue Ting sat in the co-pilot and looked out the window quietly, without any intention of speaking.

At the last intersection away from home, because of the red light, Xue Ming stepped on the brakes and stopped.

"Ex-girlfriend? Lover? Or dew?"

When Xue Ting spoke suddenly, Xue Ming was startled, and waited a while before saying, "It's nothing, just a greedy woman who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth."

Xue Ting suddenly turned around to look at Xue Ming and said, "Did I affect your life?"

"no"

"I remember you bought a house in the university town, the one I lived in when I was studying, or I can move there with Hang Hang."

Xue Ming looked at Xue Ting with a frown and said, "You know it clearly, I never bring anyone back to our house, if you want to move out, just say so, don't beat around the bush."

Xue Ting knew that Xue Ming must have misunderstood her meaning. Her original intention was that Xue Ming should have his own life, and it would always be inconvenient for her to bring her children to live with him.

"Xue Ming, my sister doesn't want to move away, I just think you should have your own home, marry someone you like and have a lovely baby."

"Xue Ting, what qualifications do you have to put on airs of your sister, you leave me every time in the name of doing my best, you know best what you think in your heart."

The two started arguing in the car, Xue Ting thought that Yu Hang was still in the car and didn't want to talk to Xue Ming any more, it would definitely be a big fight, but Xue Ming never let go.

"Yes, how cruel you are. You said you would abandon me back then, and you abandoned me. It has been more than ten years, Xue Ting, have you ever felt a little bit guilty about me in your heart, even a little bit guilty?"

The grievances of so many years cannot be explained in a few sentences. Xue Ming's eyes were red with excitement, and Xue Ting felt distressed when she saw it.

"I'm sorry, it was me..."

"Don't mention it," Xue Ming interrupted Xue Ting. He didn't want to hear how Xue Ting left him without hesitation.

Xue Ting then said nothing, never mentioned moving, never mentioned the past.

It was almost noon when I got home, Xue Ting put all the quick-frozen dumplings I bought into the pot, and I could have lunch in a while.

Xue Ting put Xue Ming's favorite dumplings filled with cabbage and pork in front of him, and put a small bowl of vinegar dish and spicy oil dish in the middle.

The three of them finished their lunch in silence.The part-time workers at home were also on holiday on New Year's Eve. After dinner, Xue Ming took the initiative to wash the dishes. Xue Ting went to the kitchen to oversee the work without worrying about it. Yu Hang sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor and watched TV.

All the disputes and tears were like geese passing through the sky without a trace, and the relationship between Xue Ming and Xue Ting returned to its original state.

The three of them worked hard for a long time in the evening, and finally filled the dinner table at home with all the New Year's Eve dinner.After so many years, Xue Ming finally had a New Year with his family by his side. He was very happy and opened a bottle of red wine that he had kept for many years.

Xue Ming raised his glass to Xue Ting and Yu Hang and said, "Welcome home, my family!"

Xue Ting smiled and clinked glasses with Xue Ming, and Yu Hang also imitated Xue Ting, holding up the cup to touch the cup in Xue Ming's hand, Xue Ming was amused seeing it.

"Yu Hang, when I first saw you, you were still in your mother's womb, I didn't expect you to grow so big in a blink of an eye"

Xue Ming laments the ruthlessness of the years, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.Competing with Xue Ting and myself for so many years, and now all the grievances and grievances have passed. Looking back, I found that the person who thought he would never leave me had been absent for fifteen years.

At the end of No. 15 years, the loved one finally came back, and the years are gone, so Xue Ming finally reconciled with himself.

After eating, Xue Ting cut a plate of fresh fruit and put it on the tea table in front of the sofa, and the three of them watched the Spring Festival Gala together.

Only after bursts of fireworks sounded outside did Yu Hang remember the agreement with Ying Zhen.Seeing that it was already 9:[-], I quickly got up, put on my coat and walked to the door.

"Hang Hang, where are you going so late for the New Year's Eve?" Xue Ting looked at Yu Hang in a hurry to go out, puzzled.

"I have a date with Ying Zhen"

After finishing speaking, he stepped out of the house, and as soon as he went out, Yu Hang saw Ying Zhen's figure.

Ying Zhen leaned against a large flower bed, carrying a red bag in her hand.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ying Zhen, I'm late!" Yu Hang said embarrassedly to Ying Zhen.

It's still not easy to wait for someone outdoors in winter night, and Yu Hang doesn't know how long Ying Zhen has been waiting for him.

"It's okay, I just arrived for a while." Ying Zhen smiled brightly at Hang, his smiling eyes curved.

After speaking, Ying Zhen handed him the red bag in his hand, Yu Hang touched Ying Zhen's icy fingers, and decided in his heart that he must not have just arrived.

"Happy New Year! Yu Hang, this is a New Year's gift for you!"
