never learned to laugh

The outside of the Ling family's ancestral house was still deserted, but when Ling Gan and Ling Yue entered inside, they found that it had been arranged.Red lanterns were hung on the porch, and even smaller lanterns were hung on the trees in the courtyard.A door seems to separate the two worlds.

This day is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow will be New Year's Eve.Naturally, there was no need for Ling Qian and Ling Yue to prepare things for the New Year.But the two returned to the ancestral home one day earlier.Tomorrow, Linggan will also perform a sacrificial ceremony.Things don't need to be done by yourself, but he and Ling Yue still have to do the sacrifice.After all, no one else can say the real Ling family.

After Ling Gan greeted the others, she and Ling Yue went back to the room first.The two slept in the same room when they were young, so there is no difference.When he came to the bedroom, Ling Gan first told Ling Yue some things to do tomorrow.In fact, things are not much different from previous years, but this is Ling Qian's habit all the time, and he will tell Ling Yue the day before.

Ling Yue actually remembered those things, his memory has always been very good.However, he was not disgusted by his brother's behavior.Since my brother wanted to talk, he naturally listened quietly.He likes to hear his brother's gentle voice.

After discussing those things with Lingyue, Linggan took Lingyue to meet the people in Ling's family.Of course, it's not about people walking on the surface, but people who are busy training.Ling Yue has met some of these people, but not all of them know.They were sent out by Linggan before, because it was the Chinese New Year, and now they all returned to Ling's house.

Ling Yue may not have been exposed to many things, but he is not stupid.So when you see those people with unique skills, you can probably guess their identities and functions.If ordinary people see those people, they may be surprised or frightened.But Lingyue is not an ordinary person, his way of thinking is different from others, so he just thinks it is good for someone to help his brother.

As for their strengths, Ling Yue was not envious.Everyone has something that he is good at, and he has something that others can't reach.So those people only saw that the young master of the Ling family, the young master's brother was walking beside the young master with such a peaceful expression.

He saw everything in his eyes, but he was very calm.Some people think that he is the young master's younger brother who is worthy of the young master, but they know the situation like Leng Yu, but they know that Ling Yue is like this in normal times.It seems that the only one who can affect the young master's mood changes is the young master.Leng Yu didn't know if this was good or not, but that was the young master's business, and he could not and would not interfere.

After reading it, Ling Gan took Ling Yue to the study.Then ask him what he thinks with a smile.

"Very happy." His expression didn't change much, but those eyes did reveal a similar meaning.

Ling Gan expressed a little doubt about what he said, so he asked why.Knowing that what Ling Yue thinks must be different from what most people think, Ling Gan wants this person to tell her more.Based on his understanding of Ling Yue, it's not that he couldn't guess it, but he wanted this person to tell.That is different from what I guessed.

"My brother is safe, I think my brother is fine." He felt very happy that there were so many people protecting his brother.Because he also wanted to protect his brother, but he couldn't do what those people did.So I can only help my brother through what I am good at.As for those aspects that I can't do, my brother has already trained so many people.He knew his brother was safe, and that was enough to make him happy.

Ling Gan pulled him into his arms with a smile on his lips.He also wanted Xiao Yue to be better.The younger he is, the better he can be.Therefore, he will not spare anyone who wants to hurt Xiao Yue.Not even Zefeng's family.

He can have friends, people like good brothers.But the real relative, his younger brother is the only one.No matter who it is, it cannot be hurt.Feeling Xiao Yue tugging on his sleeve, Ling Gan came back to his senses and smiled softly at him.They are going to come back for the New Year, so let's think about those things after the New Year!

Ling Yue nestled quietly in his brother's arms, he felt it.Just now, my brother showed his ruthlessness in such an instant.He knew that his brother would not treat him that way, never since he was a child.But he also knew that it must have something to do with him.He also felt before that when someone hurt him, his brother would be cold even with a smile on his face.

This is his elder brother, who has appeared in front of him and accompanied him since he was conscious.Therefore, no matter what kind of person her brother is, no matter whether her brother will hurt her or not, Ling Yue will never leave.

"Xiao Yue, let's take a look at the backyard! Do you remember the apricot tree we planted with our parents when we were five years old?" Ling Gan let go of him and said in a soft voice.

He didn't live in this place for a long time, but those days were very happy.Although parents are sometimes very busy, they will accompany their brothers when they have free time.At that time, Xiao Yue basically only talked to himself, but his parents were always very patient.Even if Xiao Yue didn't speak, they would still talk to Xiao Yue softly.

When Xiaoyue was five years old and approaching the Chinese New Year, his parents accompanied him and Xiaoyue to plant an apricot tree in the backyard.Linggan remembered that her mother said softly at that time: Xiaoshu is as tall as Xiaoyue now. When Xiaoyue grows up, will this tree be taller than their house?

However, during the Chinese New Year in the second year, their parents did not accompany them to celebrate the New Year.They also couldn't see how Xiaoyue grew up.

Ling Yue also remembered what happened at that time.He was young at the time, but his memory was so good that he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to, and it was something he didn't want to forget.Nodding her head, Ling Yue took her brother's hand and followed his steps to the backyard.

In the backyard of Ling's house, there are many potted plants.It's just that the two of them seldom come and don't see much.But he had ordered not to change the layout here.So the backyard may be different, but the general layout will not change.

Walking in the familiar yet unfamiliar backyard, Linggan realized that he could see the apricot tree soon.As my mother once said, when Xiaoyue grew up, the apricot tree was already taller than the house.

Ling Gan stopped and looked up at the tree not far away.At this time, I feel that my parents are so far away from them, yet so close.It's so far away that you can never touch it, and it's so close that you can see things related to your parents everywhere.The Xiaoyue beside him, the Ling family on his back, and the Ling house where he lives are all related to his parents.

Linggan sometimes thinks, what would his life be like if his parents were still there?Mom and Dad should object to him being with Xiao Yue, but they are just objecting.After all, Xiao Yue is different from others!After all, they are the children of their parents.

But those things are just thoughts.Everything that happened can't be changed.Mom and Dad will never come back, and only Xiao Yue is always by his side.Because Xiao Yue is there, he is not alone.Although Xiao Yue doesn't speak much, many of his actions let him know what Xiao Yue wants to tell himself.

"Brother." Sensing that the people around her were distracted, Ling Yue called out aloud.He wondered if his brother missed his parents.Most of the time, Ling Yue couldn't guess what her brother was thinking, but she could feel it to some extent.He probably knows the meaning of all the changes in brother's expression.

Hearing Ling Yue's words, Ling Gan rubbed his hair with a smile, and said softly: "It's okay." Then he took his hand and walked to the apricot tree.

Ling Gan held Ling Yue's hand and put it on the apricot tree, and said gently: "Mom and Dad, Xiao Yue and I have grown up. We are fine now, you don't have to worry."

Ling Yue turned her head to look at her elder brother, then imitated his movements and looked up at Xingshu, and said: "Mom and Dad, I like elder brother, and will always be with elder brother."

Linggan was taken aback by his words, but then showed a gentle smile.Xiao Yue never told anyone else, but he did tell his parents.Xiao Yue probably thought that even if his parents blamed him, he wouldn't just blame his elder brother!Xiao Yue, in fact, is more and more able to stand in the opponent's position and think about things.

Ling Gan reached out to hug him, and said softly, "Well, I will always be with Xiao Yue. Even if Mom and Dad object, I won't let you go." Feeling the kiss on the forehead, Ling Yue's calm eyes had Gentle blooming.The corners of the lips also rose a little, and it seemed to be showing a gentle smile on closer inspection.

Feeling the figure appearing not far away, Ling Qian let go of Ling Yue's hand, and said gently: "Yu, what's the matter?"

Leng Yu returned with his usual expression: "Uncle Ling said that dinner is ready." The Uncle Ling whom Leng Yu said was the one who stayed in the Ling family the longest.When Linggan's parents were still there, he worked in Ling's house.And Uncle Ling's parents are also from the Ling family.And after Linggan and Lingyue left here, Uncle Ling was also in charge of this place.So he has another identity, the butler of the Ling family.

Ling Gan nodded, and replied: "You go first, Xiao Yue and I will be there later." As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Yu's figure disappeared.As for Ling Gan, he naturally took Ling Yue's hand and went to the hall.

The habit of celebrating the new year in Ling's house has always been like this. When he was 29, he would have dinner with everyone in Ling's house, which was considered a New Year's Eve dinner.And on New Year's Eve, except for the ancestor worship ceremony, usually only the two real Ling family members, Ling Qian and Ling Yue, eat together, and the others sit and eat together.

Even Ling Gan herself didn't know when she formed such a habit.He didn't mean not to treat those people as family members, but it seemed that those people understood him and left the most important days to him and Ling Yue, allowing them to be by each other's side on special days.

Linggan knows that he is not a kind-hearted person, but he is indeed a very protective person.Or it can be said that the people he trained are very defensive.

He believed in Muquan and Zefeng, but apart from Xiaoyue, he actually believed in these people in Ling's house the most.These people in Ling's house are the ones who have truly walked through the blood with him.There are many people who have been there since he was very young.It is actually not easy for him to trust someone quickly.

However, Mu Quan was an exception.

Maybe it's because Mu Quan resembles him too much!I have experienced too many things since I was a child, I have shouldered the responsibility of a family since I was a child, and I have faced blood and darkness since I was a child.Eyes are the easiest way to see through a person, Mu Quan's eyes have a feeling of deja vu.He once saw the same eyes as Mu Quan's in Xiao Yue's clear eyes.

But that was only a moment, after all, both he and Mu Quan were very good at hiding their emotions.Perhaps as Xiao Yue said before, in fact, none of his previous smiles were real smiles.Perhaps only in front of Xiaoyue can he truly be Ling Gan, not the master of the Ling family.

He Lingyue walked into the hall, and Linggan saw that all those people were waiting there.With a smile on his lips, he said, "Let's have dinner, everyone!"

Although he said that, those people waited for him and Ling Yue to sit down before sitting down to eat one by one.During the Chinese New Year, with so many people to accompany you, you won’t be so lonely!Of course, it is not Linggan who thinks this way, but someone else.Those people really regard these people around them as family members, family members who can go through life and death together.
