Yan Ru gave birth to two children successfully in the spring of the following year. When Yan Jing went to the hospital to see her, her brother-in-law happened to be by her bedside. The husband and wife held a child in their arms, looked at each other and smiled, He looked enviably happy.

The two were talking sweetly in the room, Yan Jing was embarrassed to go in and act as a light bulb, so he had to stand outside the door and wait.I don't know how long I waited, but when my brother-in-law went out to buy dinner, Yan Jing walked into the house and put the gift he brought on the table.

"Sister, I'm here to see you." Yan Jing walked over with a smile, saw the two children in the stroller next to him, couldn't help being curious, and stretched out his hand to pinch the child's face.

The child was pinched by Yan Jing, and suddenly burst into tears, and the one next to him also opened his mouth to join in the fun. Yan Jing didn't expect the two little guys to cry so much, and immediately began to coax the child in a hurry, "Good boy, don't cry, don't cry!" Cry."

The child was much more difficult to coax than the kitten at home. After Yan Jing coaxed for a long time, the two children cried harder, as if they were competing with each other who could cry louder.

Yan Ru watched him frantically coaxing the child, and couldn't help but smile slowly at the corner of his mouth.

She remembered that when she was young, her parents were not at home, and she often took care of her younger brother.Yan Jing was also a crybaby when she was a child, she hugged Xiao Yan Jing all day long, coaxed him, teased him, and he wiped her tears all over her body.

At that time, Yan Jing was very naughty, always stretched out his fleshy little hands to grab her face, covered her face with milk powder biscuits, and clapped her hands happily and said: sister is so ugly, sister is so ugly.

Every time Yan Ru was so angry that she wanted to beat him up, but when she saw his bright eyes and smiled, she felt so soft that she couldn't do it.

Maybe it was because he cried too much when he was a child, but after he became sensible, Yan Jing never cried again, but kept laughing instead.He always has a heartless, unrestrained appearance, with a smiling face all day long.It seems that no one can enter his eyes; nothing can enter his heart.

But Yan Ru felt that there seemed to be something missing in his smile.

Like the sun shining on the first snow, bright but dazzling.

Since Rong Yuming left more than ten years ago, he has become like this. After so many years, the deserted taste is more like engraved into the bone marrow.

Yan Ru always felt that this younger brother's mind was becoming more and more elusive.In the past year, his life has suddenly become more regular, he doesn't hang out with Ouyang Shuo in bars, he goes to and from get off work on time every day, and obediently visits his seriously ill father in the hospital on weekends, it seems that he has really changed his mind.

But sometimes, seeing him squatting in the corner alone, talking softly to the cat he has raised for a long time, and seeing the smile on his face when he hugged the kitten, Yan Ru felt like something was pressing on her chest. Almost out of breath.

The two children finally stopped crying, Yan Jing heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head, but found that his sister was looking at him with complicated eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Ru smiled and said, "You like children very much, don't you?"

Yan Jing stretched out his hand to grab the soft little hand of the little guy in the stroller, his eyes were full of tenderness, "The baby is very cute." After a pause, he joked again, "Why? You don't think it's enough to have two, think Continue to live?"

Yan Ru looked at him and said, "I mean you...don't you want to have a child of your own?"

Yan Jing didn't answer, and continued to tease the child in the stroller with a flat expression. The child was teased by him and grinned, holding Yan Jing's thumb with two small hands.

Yan Ru said again: "You and Zhu Sha have been together for two years, right? It's time to make a decision."

Yan Jing said lightly, "There's no rush."

Every time he mentioned his girlfriend, he always had such a cold and indifferent attitude. Yan Ru felt bored, so she didn't say much, and the room was a little dull for a while.

Yan Jing cleverly changed the subject: "By the way, have you decided on the child's name?"

Yan Ru nodded and said, "I discussed it with your brother-in-law, and finally decided to call him Yan Xiaokun, the Kun of Qiankun."

Yan Jing smiled slightly, picked up the little girl from the stroller, squeezed her face, and called softly: "Xiaokun."

Xiao Nian's name was useless in the end.

Yan Shu's physical condition was getting worse and worse, and the recuperation in the hospital did not improve. In winter, his legs and feet were even more inconvenient, so he went back to live in Yan's old home and hired a family doctor to take care of him.

It happened to be the weekend, and Yan Jing Zhusha and Yan Ru couple went home to visit Yan Shu. Yan Shu lost a lot of weight and looked haggard, but he was in a good mood. He hugged his two little grandchildren and basked in the sun in the yard, smiling. Eye.

Yan Ru and his wife and Zhu Sha were busy in the kitchen, Yan Shu called Yan Jing to his side.

He was very weak, and it was difficult for him to speak at this time. Every time he said a word, he had to pause to adjust his breathing. He lay on the rattan chair and said in a low voice, "Ah Jing..."

"You, always, are used to guessing other people's minds...

"I always want to make other people's wishes come true...

"are not you tired?"

He spoke intermittently, his voice hoarse from exhaustion.In just a few words, it seemed that he had seen through all his son's thoughts.

Yan Jing hurriedly turned his head and said with a smile, "Dad, don't worry about it. Aren't I fine?"

Yan Shu looked at him and asked, "You think it's fine?"

Yan Jing nodded and said, "Yes."

Yan Shu didn't say anything more, just sighed softly, and turned to look for his two grandchildren.

Yan Jing looked at his stooped back, and remembered his father's straight and tall back when he was young, and felt bitter.

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is coming. This Spring Festival seems to be the most lively Spring Festival in the Yan family for decades. Yan Jing brought his girlfriend Zhu Sha home to celebrate the New Year. People are happily making dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala. Such a New Year's Eve, I didn't even dare to think about it before.

After the Chinese New Year, Yan Shu's condition gradually became uncontrollable, and he finally collapsed one day in March. Yan Jing wanted to call an ambulance, but was stopped by his mother, who said, "Your father doesn't want to go to the hospital again."

So, a group of people guarded the old man in the bedroom, listening to his last words.Yan Shu called Yan Jing to the bedside, and said softly, "Actually, compared to your sister, I am more worried about you. You are too strong, and you have so many things to think about, you always push yourself to a dead end..."

Having said that, he smiled slightly, took Yan Jing's hand and shook it, "What do you want most in your heart? After so many years, you haven't... researched it to understand?"

Yan Jing stared blankly at his father, his hair was all white, the wrinkles on his face became more aging, and the fingers holding him had gradually lost strength.

He walked very calmly, his face as serene as if he was asleep.

The funeral will be held three days later. Yan Shu is well-deserved of his reputation. There are countless people present at the funeral. His friends and students have worshiped in front of the tombstone for a whole day, and they all have to come forward to say something to Yan Jing and Yan Ru. "Please give me condolences."

Yan Ru and Yan Jing didn't have much emotional fluctuations. They had been ill for a long time, and the family had already made full mental preparations. The siblings only shed a few tears in front of the tombstone, saying goodbye to their father's portrait .

After Yan Shu's death, a lawyer came to Yan Jing, saying that some of his father's property needed to be transferred, some deposits, and all the shares of Shixin Hospital.Yan Jing suddenly became the largest shareholder of Shixin Hospital, Bai Shaobo got his wish and became the director of Shixin Hospital, Yan Jing became the director of the psychology department, and also took part-time job in charge of administration, so he quit his job as a teacher at the school .

Life is gradually on the right track, like a river that breaks through obstacles and enters the plain.

The man Zhu Sha was waiting for finally came back, and the agreement with Yan Jing to play the role of lover was successfully concluded. When she left, she smiled and said to Yan Jing: "Aren't you tired these few years?"

Yan Jing didn't answer, just smiled, and continued to watch horror movies on the sofa with Diandian in his arms.It's also a pastime for him when he's bored and can't sleep.

He remembered that his father asked him the same question one afternoon.

are not you tired?

At that time, I forced myself to say with a smile on my face, it was very good.

Actually not good at all.Such a boring life, day by day, seems to be suffering.Counting the time from morning to night, every minute and every second slowly passed, and when I was free, my heart felt so empty that I wanted to go crazy.When he couldn't sleep at night, he would play those old movies over and over again when he was bored. Thinking of living alone like this for the next few decades, he was even afraid that he would not be able to hold on.

However, this was already the best path he could choose at the beginning.

Yan Jing suddenly wanted to adopt a child.

He is still young now, so there is nothing wrong with being single, but he can't be single until he is five or sixty years old. The lonely old man who falls down the stairs and no one knows it is scary to think about it.Raise a son or daughter, at least someone will die in the future.

He found the orphanage where Rong Zi was sent away, and saw a little girl who was thrown here by her parents when she was just one and a half years old.Seeing her huddled into a ball, Yan Jing was very pitiful, so he dragged someone to help with the adoption procedures, took the child home to take care of her, and officially named her Yan Xiaonian.

For Yan Ru, the word "Nian" commemorates a hard-won happiness.

As for Yan Jing, he was missing a happiness that had long since passed away.

With a child in the family, time seemed to pass by so fast suddenly. From the beginning, Yan Xiaonian could only roll around on the bed, but later she learned to walk and talk. The ponytail is pulling Yan Jing's trouser legs, acting like a little follower.

When I was alone before, I would just sit on the sofa and watch movies when I couldn't sleep at night. After having a daughter, Yan Jing will of course make himself a competent father. Suddenly, there is a lot of fun in life, and I give her every night Tell stories and put her to sleep.

Yawning Diandian was nestled in one hand, and naughty Xiao Nian was sitting in the other. Hearing the little girl's crisp voice calling Dad, Dad, Yan Jing's heart would feel a little warm.

This kind of life is very peaceful, perhaps, what he wants is this kind of peace.

That night, Yan Xiaonian suddenly said, "Father, I don't want to listen to Grimm's fairy tales anymore, can I change it to something else?"

Yan Jing saw her flattering expression, but in desperation, he had no choice but to take the little girl to the bedroom, coax her to sleep first, cover her with a quilt, and said softly: "Xiao Nian, what kind of story do you want to hear?" ah?"

"I want to listen to fun things, not princes and princesses, but animal stories! Dad, tell me quickly."

Yan Jing pondered for a while, then began to tell the story slowly

"Once upon a time in the forest, there was a very naughty little fox who caused trouble all day long, and the family didn't like it. One day, it secretly escaped from the house and met a tiger.

"The tiger was very kind to the fox. Slowly, the fox fell in love with the tiger. The tiger said that he would take him away from here and start a new life. The little fox packed up his luggage and wanted to go with the tiger instead of listening to his parents' persuasion. escape.

"As a result, just after walking out of the forest, a leg was bitten off by that tiger."

Yan Xiaonian's eyes widened in surprise, "That fox is so cute! What happened next? What happened later?"

"Later, the fox built a house far away and hid to recuperate from his wounds. When his wounds healed, he wanted to go home and have a look. Unexpectedly, he met a lion on the road.

"The lion was very kind to him. The fox fell in love with the lion again, but he didn't dare to go with him anymore, because he had only one leg left, and he couldn't walk as easily as before. He was afraid that the lion would make him The other remaining leg was also bitten off, so it made up its mind to drive the lion away.

"Then, it sneaked back home and lived happily with its parents and sister."

When Yan Jing said this, he suddenly fell silent.

"Is it over?" Yan Xiaonian looked at the sad expression on his father's face, shook his hand slightly and asked, "What about the tiger and lion? How are they?"

Yan Jing said softly: "The tiger is fine, and the lion is fine too. They are still searching for their prey in the forest. Slowly, they will forget about the fox."

Yan Xiaonian was hesitant: "How can this be! No one cares about them?"

Yan Jing smiled and pinched Xiao Nian's nose, "The rules in the forest are like this."

"Is this the end?" Yan Xiaonian was unconvinced, "Dad, why can't I understand the story you told, Dad, are you in a bad mood! Tell me such a strange story."

Yan Jing rubbed her hair and said, "Go to sleep, I'll take you to the zoo tomorrow."

Yan Xiaonian was full of energy immediately, leaned over and kissed Yan Jing hard, "Then I'm going to sleep, Dad is so kind."

After Xiaonian fell asleep, Yan Jing looked at the clock on the wall pointing to twelve o'clock and smiled slightly.

Today is his birthday, at this moment, compared with any other day in the past, there is nothing special, just adding another number to his age.Maybe every year in the future.
