A Tooth For a Tooth

"Like it?" Yang Ren asked her.

Kang Xiaomeng nodded vigorously, but her eyes still stayed on Xiao Ai's face, sighing silently: "This child is so beautiful." Then she said to Xiao Ai: "My child, what's your name?"

Xiao Ai finally stopped eating, and stared at her blankly, a little scared and wary.

Seeing that Xiao Ai refused to speak, Kang Xiaomeng did not give up and said, "You can call me aunt."

Yang Ren finally spoke: "Don't make things difficult for her, she still can't speak."

A trace of astonishment flashed on Kang Xiaomeng's face, and she couldn't help but said, "You can't talk at such an age?"

Yang Ren originally wanted to stop her, but who knew her mouth was so fast.Although these words are unintentional, but after all, in front of Xiao Ai, will this sensitive child feel uncomfortable?

Sure enough, when Kang Xiaomeng couldn't help reaching out to touch her face, Xiao Ai frowned and jumped off the seat, ran around the table to Yang Ren, and hugged his leg.

Yang Ren picked her up and winked at Kang Xiaomeng: "Look, she doesn't like you, she only likes me."

Kang Xiaomeng said angrily: "Are you jealous of me too? You haven't grown up much yet."

Kang Xiaomeng tried her best to beg Yang Ren to take her to see Xu Yao, but Yang Ren refused desperately.

"I didn't tell Xu Yao in advance, how could I bring you there suddenly? Besides, you are all about to get married, what are you doing seeing him?"

Kang Xiaomeng said: "Then you call him now and tell him that I just want to see him again and I won't rob you. What are you afraid of?"

Yang Ren frowned, and said in a low voice, "In front of the child, why are you talking nonsense?"

Kang Xiaomeng said: "They are so young, they don't understand."

Yang Ren stopped arguing with her, ordered a packed pizza, dressed the two children, and prepared to go out.

"Brother, you really don't want to take me?" Kang Xiaomeng was very disappointed.

Yang Ren turned his head and glanced at her: "I will mention you to Xu Yao first, and we will meet again when we have a chance."

"Okay, but I haven't had dinner yet." Kang Xiaomeng acted like a baby to him.

There was no way, Yang Ren left 200 yuan, and Yang Yitong, and said, "Let your nephew eat with you. I'll go first."

One day later, Yang Ren really mentioned Kang Xiaomeng to Xu Yao, and he was careful when he said it, but Xu Yao didn't seem to have any special reaction. After all, whether it was then or now, Kang Xiaomeng only had one identity in his heart. , that is Yang Ren's half-sister.It's a pity that Yang Ren is not particularly aware of this, and is often jealous because of Kang Xiaomeng.

The old man was not at home all day that day, Yang Ren was worried about Xu Yao after he found out, and slipped away from work at two o'clock in the afternoon.In fact, it is absolutely fine for Xu Yao to be alone at home, he just has poor hearing and eyesight, and it's not that he has no hands or feet, so it's not that he can't move alone.But Yang Ren was still worried, and drove the car to Xu's house at the fastest speed.

Xu Yao is making that kind of doll that looks like Xiao Ai again. There are already a lot of them at home. The old man has been busy playing recently and hasn't set up a street stall for a long time.

Yang Ren doesn't know whether Xu Yao's daughter's appearance is clear in Xu Yao's eyes. Maybe making a doll is his obsession and nostalgia for his daughter's appearance.He felt that it would be a waste of money to sell such exquisite things on a street stall, and wondered if he could open an online store, so that Xu Yao could communicate with buyers by himself at home.

The plan was really good, and I was talking with Xu Yao about how to implement it when the phone call came.

It was Mr. Xue from Yang Yitong Kindergarten who called, saying that Yang Yitong deliberately pushed a child in the class, and the back of the child's head hit the ground and a large area was swollen.

Yang Ren never thought that such a thing would happen to the usually obedient and sensible Yang Yitong. He repeatedly apologized to the teacher and said that he would immediately go there and take the injured child to the hospital.

Along the way, Yang Ren gritted his teeth, but he couldn't control the dull pain in his temple. He was afraid that Xu Yao would be in a hurry, so he didn't tell him the truth, but said that the unit had something to deal with.

Soon Yang Ren saw the boy, and his parents also came, with a very bad attitude, Yang Ren had no choice but to bow his head and apologize, and went to the hospital with him, the lump would not go away for a while, the diagnosis said It was a mild concussion, and Yang Ren accompanied the examination and observation, and he was very angry, but he couldn't get angry in person. He thought that when school was over, he would definitely give Yang Yitong a good beating.

After all the tossing, it was almost five o'clock. Yang Ren dragged his tired body and went straight back to the kindergarten to pick up the child. Yang Yitong knew that he had made a mistake. When he saw Yang Ren, he no longer dared to hug his thigh like before. Xiao Ai knew what was going on, and stood beside Yang Yitong silently, not daring to touch Yang Ren.

With so many people present, Yang Ren couldn't get angry. He drove the two of them back to Xu's house without saying a word. The two children sat in the back, uneasy.

He opened the door with the key specially given to Yang Ren by the old man, but he didn't push it for a while, as if something was blocking it, and when he looked again, it was Xu Yao standing there behind the door.

"Why are you standing here? How long has it been?" Yang Ren asked him.

Xu Yao reacted for a while before saying, "You were in a hurry when you left. I'm afraid I won't hear you when you come back."

Yang Ren felt sour in his heart, and said softly: "What can I do, I am not tired after standing here for so long."

Naturally, Xu Yao couldn't hear it, and touched the heads of the two children as usual, and said softly, "Take off your coat quickly, it's hot in the room."
