Luting Canteen

Tang Meng saw Ye Qi's expressionless face and slightly arched back when he came out, and knew that this time he was rejected by Uncle Wen Bin when he just wanted to start.Holding his hand in the past, Tang Meng said softly:

"Let's go, let's go shopping."

Ye Qi nodded, walked a few steps, and turned to look at the courtyard gate.

Nothing has changed there.

Fan Wenbin leaned back on the sofa.The air in the room was not good, but he didn't bother to pull it open to breathe.Chi Yiyan will definitely come and talk about him at this time.When they were huddled together in the small rented room, if the windows were not opened in time, there would be the smell of paint, the smell of leftover dumplings bought from the corner of the street, and the smell of the two of them.Chi Yiyan loves to tidy up, no matter how cold it is, he has to open the windows to ventilate. As for him, he loves to fight against him.

The same goes for this child.

When it came time to adopt the child, he did the same.To be precise, he analyzed it with him over and over again seriously and rationally before adopting.In the end, he couldn't beat him, so he had to agree.When the child comes back, he doesn't care.Slowly, he also began to say a few words.This kid Ye Qi is smart, sensible, and sometimes stubborn. He doesn't hate this kid, but he won't be like Chi Yiyan, who is keen on the fantasy of a family of three.

—He never thought of it that way.I've always felt that it doesn't matter if I have children or not.What is the right and wrong of love that needs to be proved by a child?Isn't a home with only two people considered a home?

Maybe he doesn't understand. Sometimes, he really feels that he doesn't understand many things.

So on this point, he never had the same feelings as Chi Yiyan.Ye Qi and Chi Yiyan have surnames, and there is no law that can explain their affairs.He doesn't care, really doesn't matter.If there is, it must be with this person, what are you afraid of?

But when he was in the hospital, he understood.

Chi Yiyan was already in a coma at that time, he had no way to prove it.

What proof?To have an operation, he said that I am a family member.

dependents?What about account?What about the marriage certificate?

I, I am his friend, he, he has a son.Adopted, but also his son.

And then what?Then it's gone.

He and the kid sat on the promenade, neither spoke nor looked at each other.

No one taught him what to do next.

Those who came to ask if they needed one-stop funeral services were all asking Ye Qi.

What is he?

He is nothing.

Ye Qi ignored those people, maybe he was stunned, maybe he was bored, but he didn't move at all.Yan Ting and Tang Meng came, and Tang Meng's father also came, but what?

People are gone.

People are gone.he thinks.

Wait until you go up the mountain and get buried.After he went back, he drank a lot of wine for the first time and vomited everywhere after drinking.The next morning, the smell and the headache made him think, this is less than one hundredth of the pain that person has ever been in, is it?

Later, he smiled at Ye Qi who was tidying up silently, and when he finished laughing, he opened the curtains.

The light suddenly blurred in front of my eyes.

——Chi Yeqi, you, starting today, have nothing to do with Lao Tzu!a little!None!up!

Lying on the table, he waved his hands and shouted at the tall and thin child.He knew he was half drunk and half awake.

——Your dad, your dad, you, you know, right?

Chi Yiyan couldn't say the three words, so he emphasized the word "father".

--Gone.Your dad is gone.

He opened his hand to the child, but he just looked at himself quietly, and then came over and took the bottle.

Why don't you cry?

He leaned over and stared at the childish face thinking.

Your dad...is gone.

You cry one, you cry one.

How can you not cry?

I asked Ye Qi in my heart over and over again,

I also asked myself over and over again.

After that, he never said that name again.

"Ye Qi, the oatmeal buns in that store are delicious, how about we go in and have a chat, and then buy some for Brother Shubai and the others to take back?"

Tang Meng patted Ye Qi on the shoulder, Ye Qi raised his head and smiled:

"it is good."

The two walked to a bakery in front, Tang Meng asked Ye Qi to sit down first, and ordered two cups of hot chocolate for himself.

It was Yan Ting who told him before that a friend told him to eat some nuts or chocolate when he was unhappy, so Tang Meng also used to feed Ye Qi some sweets at such times.

People came in from time to time in the bakery, and Tang Meng thought it was just right - let Ye Qi be in a slightly lively place, and it would be easier for him to talk.

The two sat by the window, Ye Qi looked out the window while sipping on a straw, with a smile on his face.The black hair on the top of the head has grown a bit, and there is no transition from the cherry pink below, which looks a little strange.

"Do you want to dye your hair?"

Ye Qi was taken aback, and turned to look at Tang Meng. Tang Meng smiled and raised his hand to touch his head:

"The black came out."

"Oh, haha, I forgot to wear a hat today. Don't dye it first, and wear a hat in winter to make do."

"What color do you want to dye Xiaoqi next time?"

In fact, I wanted to tell him not to dye my hair all the time, but Tang Meng felt that Ye Qi was really suitable. Ye Qi took a look at the slightly long hair and said:

"Gray, what color do you like, Uncle Tang?"

"I like all of them."

Ye Qi glanced up at him, curled the corners of his mouth, tried to hold back, and moved to the table with hot chocolate.Feeling some gaze from the side cast over inadvertently, Ye Qi turned his head suddenly as if playing a prank, and some people who couldn't take it back in time looked away in embarrassment.Turning his head and laughing loudly, Tang Meng knew that he was going to start talking to himself.

"He still didn't agree."

"fine,"

"I'm afraid something will happen to him."

Ye Qi played with the white plastic cup lid, hesitated for a long time, then stared at the cup and said slowly:

"To be honest, I used to be very afraid of him committing suicide. So I told him that I was raised by you two, at least you will control me until I graduate from college."

Tang Meng was taken aback.Ye Qi didn't look at him either, and smiled embarrassingly.

"I quarreled with him. Let's fight. I think it's good. To be honest, I wanted to cry at that time, but if I couldn't help it, he would definitely cry too. Hahaha, he wants to save face. He’s more face-saving than my dad. In fact, he just pretends, and he loves to pretend.”

"Little Flag,"

"It's okay, it's all over, I just feel a little angry."

Ye Qi turned his head and looked out of the window again. There was a child who was not walking steadily and was tied with a belt. He walked crookedly and lay down on the glass and smiled at Ye Qi. Ye Qi waved his hand, that child His mother quickly pulled him to wipe his hands and face.

Seeing this, Ye Qi smiled, and continued:

"I've always wanted to ask him why he couldn't get better. Who wouldn't be sad about this? But, but recently,"

Turning his head to look at Tang Meng, Ye Qi sat up slightly.

"Aren't we the same as them recently? What about the result? I can't even think about that scene,"

It is also because I really have a sense of reality that I can't lose, that I understand a little bit.

Tang Meng patted Ye Qi's hand lightly, looked at him again and said gently:

"Xiao Qi, we will slowly grow up to Uncle Fan's age, but even at that age, we may encounter many things for the first time. Perhaps, no one knows what to do from the beginning. It's like you and Uncle Fan, in the matter of losing your dearest person, you two are actually the same, even though he was an adult and you were a child at that time, he may not know what to do even more than you. How to deal with them."

After hearing Tang Meng finish speaking slowly, Ye Qi looked at him for a while, then smiled wryly.

"Uncle Tang, tell me, if I start to bother him now and then, is it too late?"

"Maybe it's late, maybe it's not too late, but you can go if you want. Ye Qi," Tang Meng said after a pause, "That's your home."

Home?

Ye Qi looked back at the plastic cup lid and suddenly remembered something.

"Uncle Tang, do you know?"

"Um?"

"My dad, he told me before, he said, I heard that my biological parents wanted me to watch the best fireworks that year, and the two of them were in a hurry to find a good place, but there were too many people, so I told them They got separated.

He said, they must have searched and searched everywhere but couldn’t find it. As for me, I must be anxious if I didn’t see them at that time, so I ran to the most beautiful fireworks, and ran until there was no one there. Tired and fell asleep, others carried me to the car and sent me to the orphanage. "

"I know he lied to me. Although I was only four years old at the time, I knew why I was in the orphanage. After my father finished speaking, he asked Wen Bin's father, and he asked him, hey, do you think so? As a result Wenbin's father responded while drawing. Later, I had another picture beside my bed, which was a painting of colorful fireworks. When I was young, whenever I got angry with Wenbin's father, I would add a few strokes to it. Now that I think about it, Hahaha, every time he sees it, he must annoy me to death, right?"

I know, Yan Ting also knows.Uncle Chi said that he thinks fireworks are the most beautiful.So he keeps the best looking ones for you.

Looking at Ye Qi who was shedding tears silently, Tang Meng pulled the bench over and sat beside him, raised his hand to his head, and silently stopped talking.

The phone had vibrated several times in his trouser pocket, and Tang Meng knew it was from his mother.

After the first blind date failed, he heard his mother say a lot about the girl's lack of eyesight, and kept asking himself what she gave her for her birthday.Tang Meng was really annoyed by the question, so he said he was too busy and hung up the phone.After that, my mother called more frequently, either asking him to go on a blind date, or telling him that so-and-so had adopted another grandson.

So Tang Meng told his father two days ago.

Although he wanted to talk to his father face to face, Tang Meng was really worried that the result would not be good, so he thought about it for a long time before making a phone call.

My father listened, but he didn't make a sound for a long time. Tang Meng held the phone and didn't make a sound.In the end, my father said, "Mother, you should deal with it first, you can't tell her like this, you have to take your time."

At the end he said again, but Tang Meng, in my opinion, she is very sad at this level, you and that child Ye Qi, have you thought about it?

I answered my father resolutely, and after a while, my father finally agreed softly.

Before Tang Meng hung up the phone, he said sorry to his father.I'm sorry, not because he likes Ye Qi and men, but because he understands that from now on, his father will argue with his mother because of him, or his mother will eventually hear more gossip because of him.

But even so, he would not let go of his grip on the child—this was something he understood again.
