Christmas

When Shi Xie and Xia Yao woke up, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, which means they had slept for a whole day.

As a result of sleeping too much, Xia Yao felt that his head was aching and his body was very weak.

"Go wash your face first."

Shi Xie rubbed his hair, took Xia Yao out of the quilt, and half-carried him to the bathroom.

As soon as the cold water splashed on his face, Xia Yao became sober in an instant.After the two of them tidied up briefly, looking at the handsome two in the mirror, Xia Yao proudly raised his chin.

Seeing his appearance, Shi Xie couldn't help kissing him hard on the cheek.

"I'm starving, I'll cook first, you go and wake up those two little ones."

Rubbing his face, Xia Yao's stomach thumped, pushed Shi Xie out of the room, turned around and turned to the kitchen.

The kitchen had been tidied up before, and it looked extraordinarily clean, so of course there would be no vegetables or the like.

Looking at the empty refrigerator, I am too lazy to go downstairs to buy groceries now.

Xia Yao rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and decided to cook some porridge with preserved egg and lean meat. There was still a bag of quick-frozen custard buns and a bag of quick-frozen porridge in the refrigerator.

Fire.

After thinking about it, I immediately washed the rice and made porridge with both hands and feet.When Shi Xie came out with He Bishen and Xiao Shen, Xia Yao's meal was almost done.

Both He Bishen and Xiao Shen had wet hair on their foreheads, and it was obvious that they had washed their faces and their clothes were in order.

Xia Yao nodded in satisfaction, turned around and went back to the kitchen, and said something along the way.

"Shi Xie comes to pick up the bowls and chopsticks, and the meal will be ready in a while."

Humming in a good mood, Xia Yao stirred the porridge in the pot with a strong smell.He cut some bacon from Bai Rou last time and put it in, the aroma immediately wafted out, and the porridge was considered complete.

But my craft seems to be better...

"Xia... Mr. Xia, where are the bowls and chopsticks?"

Just as he was thinking, a timid voice sounded behind him, Xia Yao turned his head and saw He Bishen standing behind him and looking at him awkwardly, a little at a loss.

"It's in the cabinet over there. Let Shi Xie do it."

"it does not matter."

He Bishen took out the right bowl and chopsticks from the cabinet, raised his head and smiled at Xia Yao, then turned and left the kitchen.

Xia Yao was taken aback for a moment, this was the first time he saw He Bishen smiling like this, he couldn't help but also shook his head with a smile.

"This child..."

A large pot of porridge, more than a dozen custard buns and hot pot was quickly eaten by four people, and even a small plate of pickled vegetables was cleaned up.

"Bishen, let's go to the supermarket later and buy you daily necessities and clothes. Is there anything you can't use?"

Putting the bowls and chopsticks into the sink, Xia Yao came out wiping his hands and asked why Bishen.

He Bishen, who was playing with Xiao Shen, immediately shook his head flattered and said.

"No...no, Mr. Xia, I'm too much trouble for you."

"Bishen, why do you still call me Mr. Xia? Since we brought you back, we have decided to treat you as a family member. So you don't have to be so careful, just treat this place as your own home.

Tell me what you like and what you don't like, okay? "

Xia Yao bent down and stroked He Bishen's slightly long hair, speaking softly.

He Bishen looked up at his face, his eyes slowly turned red, and he quickly lowered his head to hide his tears.

"I see."

"Hey, you can call us brother, or you can call me the same as Xiao Shen."

Xia Yao smiled, he knew that He Bishen was just a little uneasy, and he was always at a loss when he first arrived in a new environment.But He Bishen can't be considered a real child after all, he has a firm mind and can distinguish good from bad.

"Little... little dad."

After a long time, He Bishen suddenly called out to Xia Yao, his voice was very small, but Xia Yao could still hear it clearly.

I also happened to see He Bi's blushing face and the uneasiness in his eyes.Xia Yao smiled, and simply responded.He Bishen then smiled happily. The ten-year-old boy smiled happily, as if a bright sun was blooming behind him.Xia Yao was both happy and distressed, so he could only secretly decide in his heart that he would treat He Bishen better in the future.

At this moment, Shi Xie came out with Xiao Shen who was dressed. He was still holding a long trench coat in his hand, and handed it to He Bishen.

He Bishen took it, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Xia Yao, getting an encouraging look.

"Thank... thank you, Father."

Shi Xie raised his eyebrows and took a deep look at He Bi, then reached out and rubbed his head.He took his arm and put a string of simple beads on him, with a lovely milky white jade gourd hanging on it.

"You and I have some karma, don't take off this bracelet, it can stabilize your soul."

He Bi touched the bracelet on his wrist deeply, and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, let's go out, it will be dark later."

Shi Xie handed Xia Yao his coat, and the family of four went out.As soon as he went out, Xiao Shen was like a free bird, pulling He Bishen and running wildly.

Xia Yao rubbed his forehead helplessly, hearing Xiao Shen's startled cry, his heart felt a little stuffy.

"I never thought that I would have a family with you and children."

Shi Xie grabbed Xia Yao's shoulders and suddenly said softly.Xia Yao was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help laughing when he saw his young and handsome profile.

"Being the father of two children at only 23 years old, do you think it's a winner in life?"

"Xiao Yao, you are only 21 years old this year."

Dotingly watching Xia Yao's gloating expression suddenly froze, Shi Xie flicked his forehead in a good mood.

"Yes! I'm only 21 years old, why do I have to live in daily necessities...my youth, my freedom...

...?

Clutching his forehead and groaning in pain, Xia Yao was not only heartbroken, but directly shattered into dregs.

"Mother-in-law raised you very well."

Touching Xia Yao's hair, Shi Xie once again thanked his mother-in-law in his heart.If it weren't for the wiseness and martial arts of the mother-in-law

, he will not get such a baby now.

The family of four went through the supermarket and bought He Bishen's daily necessities, as well as a lot of underwear, clothes and a few replacement pajamas.

After buying the vegetables needed for tomorrow morning, I left the supermarket. Shi Xie and Xia Yao had already carried a lot of things in their hands, even Xiao Shen and He Bishen carried a few things in their hands. a small bag.

"I knew it earlier, so I drove here."

After moving his arms, Xia Yao felt a little tired after lifting it for a while.

"Tired? I'll help you get some more."

"No, let's go back quickly."

Xia Yao shook his head, Shi Xie had already taken a lot in his hands, and he was a big man, so he wouldn't be unable to mention these things

move.

The simply supermarket is not far from where they live, but when Xia Yao was turning his head to talk to Shi Xie, a man hurriedly bumped into Xia Yao's body.

Xia Yao's arm hurt, and everything in his hand fell to the ground.

"you,,

Rubbing his arms and preparing to say something, Xia Yao looked up and suddenly saw this man's face, his face was pale, with thick dark circles under his eyes and stubble all over his face.

The man was also staring at Xia Yao, without any apology for bumping into someone.

Xiao Shen and He Bishen also stood aside and stared at this man.

"Apologize."

Shi Xie frowned, and pulled Xia Yao behind him, the man couldn't help shrinking his shoulders with such a strong aura.

"Sorry……"

His voice was as if it had been polished by sandpaper, and it was very hoarse. After leaving such a sentence, he suddenly ran away.

And his two arms were hugged tightly in front of his chest, as if he was protecting something.

Watching the man run away, this episode did not affect Xia Yao's mood.

Picking up the things from the ground, Xia Yao just returned home when Xia Yao couldn't hold on anymore.

Putting things on the coffee table, Xia Yao collapsed on the sofa in an instant.

"Dad, drink water."

He Bishen brought the hot water from the kitchen that Xia Yao released before he left, and now it is just right for his entrance.

After taking a big sip of water, Xia Yao sighed comfortably, feeling alive again.

"Thank you Bishen, I'll organize things for you now, you can live with Xiao Shen first."

"Okay! Dad, I'll go with you."

Picking up the things on the coffee table, He Bishen also let go a little at this time, followed Xia Yao back to the room, and packed things.

And Shi Xie and Xiao Shen who were still in the living room looked at each other face to face, with big eyes staring at small eyes.

Xiao Shen blinked his big watery eyes, and looked at Shi Xie flatteringly, but was ruthlessly rejected by Shi Xie.

"Shi Zheng, you have been absent from class for two days, and you have to go to school tomorrow."

Hearing Shi Xie call out his name, Xiao Shen already understood that the matter was a foregone conclusion.

"But I'm leaving, what about little brother?"

"This is not what you need to worry about. What you need to care about now is that your homework has not been finished yet, and your teacher has sent the homework to my mobile phone."

As he said that, Shi Xie picked up his mobile phone and shook it in front of Xiao Shen, looking at the densely packed words on the screen, Xiao Shen's expression was numb, with a look of lovelessness.

"Dad, I'm just a kindergarten student."

"Shi Zheng, you have to go to bed at ten o'clock. It's already ten past nine."

Xiao Shen looked up at Shi Xie, turned around and walked back to the room with heavy steps, even ignoring Xia Yao who happened to come out, "What's the matter?"

Sitting next to Shi Xie, Xia Yao asked with some doubts.

"Operation."

Lifting his chin and tapping the phone on the table, Shi Xie continued to stare at the newspaper in front of him.

"There are so many, can Xiao Shen finish writing?"

"Don't worry, he's very smart."

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Shi Xie pulled Xia Yao up and went back to his room to sleep.

When Xia Yao passed Xiaocan's room, he pushed it away and looked inside.I saw that Xiao Shen was sitting at the desk and writing quickly, his hands were so fast that he didn't look like a kindergarten kid.

And He Bishen was concentrating on reading a storybook, and the soft light shone on the two of them, forming a small world of their own.
