Fu Wenyuan became more busy than the previous two years. He didn't have time to go back to City C, and neither could his aunt.Jiang Yuechen came several times in the middle, and when the National Day holiday came, Jiang Yueling's family also came. Among the children were not only Jiang Cuocuo, but also Li Nian who followed Jiang Yuechen.

Auntie was exhilarated by his grandma calling him back and forth, and the dinner was rich.Jiang Cuocuo was not as fat as he was during the Chinese New Year, but he ate a lot. He didn't need others to serve him, and he peeled the shrimp by himself, until his cheeks were all shiny, and he didn't forget to feed Ning Shuda a couple of bites.

Auntie teased him: "Why is Cuocuo so eccentric and won't feed your father?"

Jiang Cuocuo turned his head to look at Jiang Yueling, pouted and whispered seriously to his aunt: "Dad thinks that his hands are dirty." Then he laughed again, grabbed the freshly peeled shrimp and put it in Ning Shuda's mouth On the contrary, "Mummy is not afraid!"

The whole table laughed, Ning Shuda took a bite, and brought the rest to Jiang Yueling's mouth: "He doesn't like it, look, eat it." Jiang Cuocuo clapped his hands and went to feed his aunt again.

Fu Wenyuan came in just in time for the meal, and the whole family sat around a table. After eating, there happened to be four men, and they pushed out the mahjong table to play cards.

The big courtyard is rarely bustling. My aunt is old and short-lived. After taking Jiang Cuocuo to take a bath, she sent four glasses of water to the living room. She was about to go back to the house, but was stopped by Jiang Yueling who was drawing cards. : "Mom, help me up for a while."

"Where are you going?"

Jiang Yueling said, "Just for a while."

Auntie had no choice but to sit down, and saw that he took the boiled water that he had just put down and left. When he came back, there was something unnamed in it, and he exchanged it with Ning Shuda.

It was only when Ning Shuda knew what he was doing, even though he often claimed to be a soldier with a big heart and a thick skin, but in front of his elders, it seemed that he was so delicate that he couldn't even drink plain water, so he had to add something to keep in good health.

Ning Shuda felt ashamed and blushed, looking at her aunt helplessly.

The aunt had already given way to Jiang Yueling, smiled when she saw this, and pushed the water towards him: "Although your operation has been done for a while, you still can't relax."

Ning Shuda nodded quickly: "I know, Mom."

Auntie smiled again, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes deepened, and she patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be too late, at least don't drag Shuda. Jiang Yueling, don't you know how to cut?"

Jiang Yueling agreed: "Tell him to sleep at eleven o'clock."

Ning Shuda didn't refute. At 10:30, the atmosphere was up, and the other three were in full swing. He called Li Nianlai to come on top, walked around to look at Jiang Yueling's cards for a while, and then went back.

Auntie didn't sleep, an incandescent lamp was turned on in the small kitchen, and the air was full of the smell of electric mosquito coils. There was a casserole in front of her, and she was putting ingredients in it.

Ning Shuda walked over and sat down on the small bench: "Mom, don't you want to rest?"

The aunt said: "I lay in bed for a while, and I came out to make some porridge for Cuo Cuo to drink tomorrow morning. I ate too much oil tonight, I'm afraid his little guy's stomach won't be able to take it."

"Yeah." Ning Shuda continued to choose vegetables. There were not many things in the first place, so he made it quickly. The aunt finally pressed the preserved eggs, wiped her hands on the apron, and got up to simmer the casserole on the briquette stove in the backyard.

The summer in City C has long since passed, but City B is still sweltering, and even the vegetation turns yellow late. At this time of night, you can still hear insects singing alternately in the grass.

The two sat around the small table, probably because they were not used to having so many people in the house, and the dog didn't even sleep. It ran out from some room, and lay down next to the aunt's feet, dozing off with its eyelids drooping.

Ning Shuda leaned over to touch its head, and the aunt said, "Is it okay? Does the incision hurt in rainy weather?"

Ning Shuda shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."

Auntie looked at him very gently, paused, and then said in a low voice: "Yunxi..."

The dog became energetic all of a sudden, stood up suddenly, shook its fur with its ears pricked up, wandered around the backyard, found nothing, and then returned to the aunt's feet.

Ning Shuda said: "I told you that school starts in August. Didn't I go there at that time, and I said I would go there after Christmas." He said jokingly, "But he doesn't care about me very much. Don't like to talk."

The aunt put her elbows on her legs, and stroked the fine lines of her eyes with one hand: "The child used to be talkative. When he first came to the house, he was afraid of strangers and kept quiet. But later, he may have stayed with the old man for a long time, and he is also Xu Xu. Chatter, always likes to follow people, and has to express some opinions on everything. If he is not there, just follow me; if he is, just follow him. "

"My heart is always blocked. Every time I think of him crying like that at the airport, my whole body trembles."

Fu Wenyuan made up his mind to send Yunxi away, not even waiting for one more day.Auntie didn't know what happened, but she just vaguely heard Yunxi crying something upstairs, when she saw Fu Wenyuan coming down from upstairs with normal expression, and ordered her to pack Yunxi's things.

He opened his mouth to persuade her, but Fu Wenyuan didn't even listen to her words for the first time, and repeated again: "Clean up Yunxi's things."

After collecting a few boxes overnight, I arrived at the airport without turning a corner.

Yunxi cried all the way in the car, the tears fell in a continuous line, begging Fu Wenyuan who was in the passenger driver with shaking lips, seeing that Fu Wenyuan was unmoved, she begged the aunt beside her.Without saying a word, the aunt went to Jiang Yueling, who was driving, to beg him to stop.

The car didn't stop, and on the high speed, he even went to pull the car door.

He was cornered.He went to the doctor in a hurry.At the end of the road.

Auntie will never forget Yunxi's expression of trying to control himself not to collapse. As the car approached the airport, his face was already messed up, he was exhausted from crying, his face was as white as a ghost, and his eyes were completely red. Fu Wenyuan stretched out his hand and tried to pull Fu Wenyuan's arm, trying to force the persuasion in his words: "Then can you let me see the dog? I didn't see it just now, let me go back, I will just look at the dog, talk to it, Say goodbye to it, okay? Sir, I promise I won’t bother you again, I just want to see the dog, you tell me to go back, I won’t run, and I won’t hide anywhere, after seeing the dog, I’ll go right away, okay ?"

At that time, my aunt really wanted to tell Yunxi to stop talking. Could it be that he couldn't feel his pity?Doesn't he know that he is really pitiful?

Did he know that with his appearance, he turned all bystanders into accomplices, suffering day by day?

"I always think, he blames me."

Auntie is indeed old, and her voice seems weak.

Ning Shuda called out: "Mom."

"When you were hospitalized in high school, you were so skinny that you had bones everywhere, and you woke up for a short time, and you only knew it hurt. When you said it hurt, Yue Ling just sat there and coaxed you that the pain would stop soon. You didn't know it yourself, at that time The doctor also said that it was very dangerous, and it was almost impossible to keep it. Yue Ling looked fine on the surface, but once I went to deliver the clothes, it was very late, and I saw him squatting in the stairwell smoking a cigarette, his eyes were red. He saw me too I didn’t avoid it, I called my mother, and tears came down.”

The aunt took a breath and said, "I haven't seen him cry since I was a child. I remember that he was hardened after being beaten by Wen Yuan, and his temper was very violent. When he threw the fighting stick between the two of them, he was told to wait and say wait." Fight again when you grow up. He is stubborn, the Jiang family has never had such a stubborn person, and it made you cry in fright."

"The decision to adopt a child is decided by the compound. My husband has been unwilling from the beginning. I originally planned to send it to a boarding school after school starts. When we return there on weekends, we will not touch hands. Coincidentally, we picked it up a few days in advance. I bumped into Mr., I didn’t know he had that disease, and I should ignore him, but I saw that he was in poor health, thin and weak. I remembered that Yue Ling took you with me before, and you were the same, good-looking and obedient , probably because of this incident, I gradually treated him better. When the school started, I thought it would be good to have more people in the family and have a companion, so I told my husband to ask him to stay at home."

A few clouds cleared away, and the moonlight poured down, making the small courtyard brighter.It's just that the yard is brightened up, but people's hearts are still dusty.

Ning Shuda held Auntie's hand: "No matter what the reason was at the beginning, you are good enough to Yunxi, and he doesn't blame you."

"I blame myself." The aunt said, "Anyway, we people are used to influence. If you send him to a boarding school because you don't want to see him and don't take care of him from the beginning, maybe he will Not that much guilt."

"Actually, none of the whole family, those surnamed Fu and those surnamed Jiang, who brought him back, who took over, and who took care of him, treated him sincerely. At first, I thought that at least he hadn't harmed him, but now, Who would know..."

Ning Shuda didn't know how to answer, so he turned his head away to look at the crescent moon with two sharp corners above the small courtyard.

After a long time, he got up, helped his aunt up, and said in a low voice: "How can I say, he has settled down now, let's live our own lives."
