043 Cheng Tong

Cheng Tong's arrival was beyond Cheng Jing's expectation.

When the final grades were announced that day, Cheng Jing originally planned to go to school as well, but received a call from Cheng Yumin on the way, saying that Cheng Tong was coming.

And it's by own car.

"Alone?" Cheng Jing's voice rose in an instant, "You let a six-year-old ride the bullet train alone?!"

In a place with a huge traffic flow like a train station, it is too easy to lose a child.Cheng Jing got off at the nearest bus stop, ran across the road and took a taxi to the train station.Cheng Yumin said in a very flat tone: "It's only ten minutes, exercise him."

Cheng Jing was very upset.

Cheng Yumin didn't raise him personally for a few days, and it was Cheng Tong's turn to be treated the same way.When that woman was going to be filming, Cheng Yumin threw Cheng Tong to Cheng Jing.Usually, Cheng Jing had to go to class, and after school, he went to pick up Cheng Tong from the nursery. The child cried until his eyes were swollen, and he kept crawling into his arms.

Cheng Jing hated that woman, but he couldn't do the same for Cheng Tong.After he came to Xitangkou alone, Cheng Tong either called or sent text messages every day, and the child sent all kinds of pictures if he couldn't write. He was especially dependent on Cheng Jing and always wanted to come to Cheng Jing.

But Cheng Jing would not allow that woman to come to Xitangkou, and Cheng Yumin didn't have time to bring the child here himself.Cheng Yumin said: "Tongtong was arguing to see you when he was on vacation, and asked when you would come back, so I asked him to find you by himself."

Cheng Jing didn't want to talk, so she hung up the phone.

Before the taxi arrived at the train station, Cheng Tong called first.The background sound is noisy, but the child's voice is excited: "Brother, I have arrived in Z City, and I came alone! Brother, tell me the address, and I will queue up and take a taxi there alone!"

Hey, I know how to line up.

Cheng Jing held back her temper and said, "Cheng Tong, I heard you clearly, my brother is about to arrive at the train station, please don't run around, just stay there and wait for your brother."

Cheng Tong had just completed the train ride on his own, and was so excited that he couldn't hear what Cheng Jing was talking about, and he always wanted to take a taxi to find Cheng Jing by himself.The two talked on the phone for a long time, and Cheng Jing suddenly said: "Cheng Tong, I need money for a taxi, do you have it with you?"

Cheng Tong: "..."

Cheng Tong touched his pocket, then went to check the small suitcase. The clothes, toys and snacks were quite complete, but there was not even a coin.He immediately felt wronged: "Brother..."

Cheng Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Stay there and don't move, and don't hang up the phone, brother will be here soon."

Cheng Tong sat on the suitcase with his mobile phone in his arms, turned his eyes to see the people around him, and couldn't wait to share his affairs with Cheng Jing.Children think fast and speak wildly. If they don't pay attention, they don't know what they are talking about.Cheng Jing listened patiently and urged the driver to hurry up in a low voice.

After receiving the child, Cheng Jing had no choice but to go to school again, and returned to Xitangkou.The children hugged Cheng Jing along the way, and repeated what they said on the phone: "Brother, I got twenty little red flowers this semester!"

Cheng Jing said, "Not nineteen flowers?"

Cheng Tong counted with his fingers, but couldn't count: "Anyway, I get the most little red flowers among the boys!"

Cheng Jing smiled and said softly, "Fool."

The holidays for the third year of high school are later than other grades, and everyone is allowed to leave school only after the Chinese New Year.Jiang Chuan didn't see Cheng Jing at school during the day, so he packed up his things and ran to Cheng Jing's house when he got home from school. When he entered the door, he saw Cheng Jing making milk tea with a white and clean little boy in his arms.

Jiang Chuan couldn't control his mouth anymore: "Fuck, our children are already this big."

Cheng Jing glanced at him, and Cheng Tong waved his two straight legs and said hello: "Hello, hello." Probably tired from playing, his voice was limp.

"Let me introduce, this is my younger brother Cheng Tong." Cheng Jing put Cheng Tong on the chair, brought the milk tea over, and glanced at Jiang Chuan again, "Is it cold, would you like a cup?"

The milk tea was brought over by Cheng Tong, it was salty, Jiang Chuan took a big gulp without noticing it, and spit it out in an instant.He frantically wiped the table with paper towels, Cheng Jing and Cheng Tong looked at him with cups in their arms, with identical smiles on their faces.

Jiang Chuan stretched out his hand and scratched Cheng Tong's face, humming: "Do you look the same as your brother when he was a child?"

It stands to reason that he saw the process several times when he was a child, but he has no memory of it at all.Cheng Tong turned to look at Cheng Jing with bright eyes: "Brother, do I look like you?"

"It's different." Cheng Jing held the milk tea and covered her hands, "When I was six years old, I didn't ride a bullet train by myself."

He was still angry here, but the child didn't hear it at all, and swayed his calf triumphantly and shouted: "I am braver than my brother!"

"Hey," Jiang Chuan snapped his fingers in front of the child, "Your brother didn't even start a car when he was six years old."

Cheng Tong's arrival ruined Jiang Chuan's plan to spend a happy life with Cheng Jing.With the child on his back, he asked Cheng Jing unwillingly: "Your brother will be here for a few days, did you go back before the Chinese New Year?"

After asking the question, he immediately went crazy: "Did he come to call you home for the New Year?"

Seeing his lost and nervous look, Cheng Jing couldn't help but smile.Jiang Chuan rubbed the boy's head: "I'm pitiful and don't coax me."

There are only five days left before the Chinese New Year, Cheng Jing said: "If I don't go back, Cheng Tong probably will stay here for the Chinese New Year."

"Why?" Jiang Chuan thought Cheng Jing's family was really interesting, and the whole family went their separate ways during the Chinese New Year.Cheng Jing is quite used to this kind of gathering, and said: "My dad is busy all year round, and he has to go to the border area to condolences during the Chinese New Year. I have met him a few more times this year, which is already very good. "

Jiang Chuan: "Where is the child's mother?"

Cheng Jing's eyes flickered, and he said, "It's either preparing for a TV show or something else. Anyway, I won't stay at home and wait for the New Year."

"What's your life like, brothers?" Jiang Chuan felt that he really had nothing to complain about, so he put his arms around Cheng Jing and kissed him a few times, "It's okay, it's okay, come to my house, my mother likes to be lively."

The two went out, one holding Cheng Tong in the middle.The child's identity is secret, and he doesn't go to many places, let alone a place like Xitangkou. When he sees the narrow stone-paved road and the old buildings without window sills on both sides of the road, he is so excited that his feet don't touch the ground. To touch and hug.

Moreover, he has the same virtue as Cheng Jing, who is as good as he is. When he sees someone looking over, he shouts, regardless of whether they just met their eyes accidentally or not.

When Jin Min and Jiang Xing came back at night, they were a little surprised to see that there was an extra child in the house.Cheng Tong was not shy at all, and rushed over and shouted: "Auntie, good sister, hello everyone."

"Hello, hello." Jin Min smiled and wanted to hold the baby. Cheng Tong held Jin Min's hand like a leader shaking hands with someone, and said, "Auntie, I'm a bit heavy."

Jin Min laughed even harder.

At the end of the year, except for the bill collectors, everyone gradually became idle.The restaurant does not have reservations for the New Year's Eve dinner, and Jin Min officially closed two days before New Year's Eve.Jiang Chuan has made all the preparations for the New Year, and Jin Min only needs to tidy up the house.

She didn't expect that there would be so many children in the family this year, so she mentioned it to Jiang Li, and Jiang Li simply came to celebrate the New Year together.

Jiang Li suffered from emotional hardships when she was young, but when she was almost forty, she thought about it a lot, and she really wanted a child.In the past, she also helped Jin Min take care of Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xing, and because Jiang Chuan had a similar temper to her since childhood, she had more affection for Jiang Chuan.

This time I saw a little Cheng Tong, who looks as cute and beautiful as Cheng Jing, but has a temper like Jiang Chuan's noisy and not annoying, Jiang Li can't wait to hug her and take her home.

She even hugged Cheng Tong while eating, and Cheng Tong apologized to her crisply: "I'm sorry, Aunt Jiang Li, I want to sit down and eat by myself, and I can play with you after dinner."

Jiang Li watched the child sitting next to Cheng Jing, digging a large piece of rice with a white porcelain spoon and putting it into his mouth, then digging out another piece of meat and stuffing it in, chewing with his mouth full. Dig again.

Cheng Jing pursed her lips. Occasionally Cheng Tong spilled the rice and he didn't respond, just glanced at it and continued to drink the soup.

Jiang Li's eyes were shining, she forgot to eat, she kept pulling Jin Min's arm, and said, "Why is this child so obedient?"

Jiang Chuan couldn't stand it anymore: "Aunt Jiang, how about I become a human trafficker tonight, Cheng Jing will return to my house, Cheng Tong will return to your house, and hide at home so that no one can see it!"

Jiang Li couldn't stop laughing, and Jin Min also smiled and patted Jiang Chuan on the shoulder: "I talk nonsense all day long, and I don't have a proper shape."

Jiang Xing sat next to Jin Min and did not speak. He glanced at Jiang Chuan when he heard the phrase "Cheng Jing returns to my house", and then his eyes fell on Cheng Jing.The custom of Chinese New Year is big fish and big meat, which has nothing to do with good cooking skills, but a festive meaning of abundance.But Cheng Jing couldn't get used to these things the most. After chewing a piece of chicken breast given by Jiang Li for a long time, it became so pale and woody that he had no choice but to spit it into a tissue and lowered his head to take a sip of the soup.

Jiang Chuan was joking with Jiang Li all the time, and casually put a chicken wing tip with rotten bones into Cheng Jing's bowl.Jiang Xing's eyes flickered for a moment, then he lowered his head and continued to eat.

The sound of firecrackers outside was one after another, and Jiang Chuan ran to the door to set off firecrackers after eating.Cheng Tong was curious and a little scared, he pulled Cheng Jing and asked if he could try it.

The kind who wanted to go to heaven, Jiang Chuan really didn't dare to let the child mess around-although he had messed up when he was a child.He tore off a small firecracker and handed it to Cheng Tong, saying, "Let your brother give you some, and throw it forward after lighting."

Jin Min came to stop him, Cheng Jing said, "It's okay, Auntie, let him play."

Boys have bigger hearts.Cheng Jing led Cheng Tong to the middle of the slightly spacious road, pointed to the road in the distance and taught Tong how to throw it away, and then took out the lighter.

Cheng Tong threw the small firecrackers out, but he couldn't hear the sound, and was about to walk over, when there was a soft "pop", and then there was a crackling sound behind him, and he hid in Cheng Jing's arms with a wow.

Jiang Chuan came over and picked him up and walked into the house, smiling as he walked, "Okay, baby, don't cry, I'll give you sweets."

After crying, Cheng Tong became fussy again.Jin Min, Jiang Li, and Jiang Xing were all watching the Spring Festival Gala in the living room, while Cheng Tong ran around the room, and suddenly it was quiet for a long time.Jiang Chuan dragged Cheng Jing out for a while in a place where no one was around, and when he entered the room, he saw the child dismantle the PSP.

Jiang Chuan: "..."

"You were reincarnated by the demolition brigade." Jiang Chuan walked over to pick up the child, Cheng Jing glanced at the dismantled PSP, and said lightly, "Let him dismantle it, and put it back after dismantling, if you can't put it back I'll accompany you one more time."

Jiang Chuan turned his back to Jin Min, and said silently to Cheng Jing, "Chizi gave it to me."

Cheng Jing mouthed "Oh", but she was not worried, and said, "It's okay, he can put his computer back on."

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Jiang Chuan couldn't get angry either, so he squatted beside and watched the children tear it apart.After the child disassembled it, he really put it back slowly.When he got the last screw back, Jiang Chuan took a deep breath, and there was nothing extra, really awesome.

Cheng Jing looked at him and smiled.

It wasn't until the third day of the Lunar New Year, when Cheng Yumin received a call, that Cheng Jing brought Cheng Tong back to City N.At that time, the weather was cold and there were not many pedestrians on the road, so Cheng Yumin booked a table at the hotel he frequented.Although Cheng Jing was looking forward to the reunion in his heart, he would never accept having dinner with that woman.He left Cheng Tong at the entrance of the hotel and left. Not long after, Cheng Yumin called: "Xiaojing, just the three of us, father and son, get together."

Whether it's Cheng Yumin or Cheng Tong, that woman is very tight-lipped, and she backed down when everyone was fighting for face.Cheng Jing felt strange, but couldn't think too much, and went back to the hotel.In the middle, I received a text message from Jiang Chuan: My father-in-law provoked you, come back and hold me and cry with peace of mind.

Cheng Jing smiled, and suddenly realized that he hadn't collapsed much in this period of time, and his mood was as peaceful as if he had never encountered anything difficult.
