Brothers are tough
Chapter 15
Tang Yaoyang returned home in a hurry this time, not by accident. He fainted while abroad, and handed over the company to Charles to take care of it. Zhao Nan made some suggestions.
It's just that what happened later really made Tang Yaoyang unpredictable. Charles took care of the company, and entertainment was a must, because everyone knew that the big boss had only one adopted son, so he naturally wanted to make friends.
Drinking is inevitable for entertainment, Charles drank too much, and Tang Yaoyang also returned home from the hospital to recuperate at that time. Under the courage of the wine, Charles went crazy with alcohol to Tang Yaoyang.
Tang Yaoyang pushed Charles away and ran back to the room to close the door. This was not what shocked him the most. What he panicked was that he reacted when he was kissed passionately by Charles. Could it be because he hadn't been in contact with a woman for a long time? , otherwise how could it be possible
In a panic, Tang Yaoyang simply packed his things, told Zhao Nan to follow Charles to take care of the company, and hurried back to the country with two bodyguards.
Tang Yaoyang followed Li Qi to Zhao's house in Chaoyang City. Tang Yaoyang went to buy some gifts and asked the bodyguards to put them in the car.
Li Qi looked at Tang Yaoyang: "Actually, there is no need to buy so many things."
Tang Yaoyang smiled and said: "I am very grateful to them for taking care of you growing up, so these things are not worth anything."
Li Qi stopped talking, and when he arrived at Zhao's house, he realized that the atmosphere in Zhao's house was not right.
Mother Zhao forced a smile when she saw Li Qi, "Xiao Qi is back, why don't you let me know in advance so that I can pick you up?"
Li Qi looked at Zhao Yong, who was hanging his head in mourning, Zhao Yong glanced at Li Qi, but didn't say anything.
Uncle Zhao just nodded his head when he saw Li Qi, and looked at the man beside Li Qi. Mother Zhao also saw the man beside Li Qi, and asked Li Qi with a smile: "Xiao Qi, who is behind you?"
Li Qi introduced to Mother Zhao: "Mom Zhao, Uncle Zhao, this is my father."
Zhao's mother looked at the two father and son, there was still a bit of resemblance between the eyebrows, but Xiaoqi's father was really young, and he should be a person who did great things. His identity was unusual at first glance, not to mention the two burly men behind him. bodyguard.
"You are Xiaoqi's father, you must take good care of Xiaoqi in the future." Zhao's mother inevitably said a few words.
Tang Yaoyang nodded and smiled, "That's natural."
The whole group was still standing, and Zhao's father stepped forward and said, "Let's all sit down and talk."
After Tang Yaoyang sat down on the chair, he asked the bodyguard to bring in the gift, and said to Zhao's parents and Zhao's mother with a smile: "Small, please accept it. I am very grateful to you for taking care of Xiaoqi for many years."
Mother Zhao took the gift and put it aside, then Father Zhao chatted with Tang Yaoyang: "You are Xiao Qi's biological father, I haven't asked you for your name yet."
Tang Yaoyang smiled and said: "My name is Tang Yaoyang, and I have been abroad before. I have been looking for Xiao Qi since he was a child. He lived with his brother outside, and I have never found him. This time I saw him at school when I returned to China. Only then did we recognize each other."
Zhao's father nodded and said: "It's also because you are destined to recognize each other. You have met Li Xun."
Tang Yaoyang shook his head: "I didn't have time to see you last time, but he will always come back this time during the Chinese New Year, so I can see you again, and Xiao Qi mentioned me to Li Xun earlier."
"Then what are your plans for the future?" Xiaoqi has been in the Zhao family for these years, after all, he grew up watching him grow up, so Dad Zhao still wants Tang Yaoyang to tell him, so that he can feel at ease.
"Please don't worry about this, Xiaoqi promised me to study abroad, and I will gradually hand over the company to him to manage"
Father Zhao felt relieved when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "Then let's stay for dinner together at noon."
Tang Yaoyang looked at Li Qi, nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Qi was dragged to the kitchen by Zhao's mother, "Zhao's mother, when I just came back, what happened at home today?"
Zhao's mother was worried, but she just shook her head and looked at Li Qi carefully: "It looks like he has grown some meat, you need to eat more in the future."
Li Qi was holding Zhao's mother's arm, and said with a smile: "Well, I must have gained weight, the school cafeteria eats well, Zhao's mother, have I grown taller?"
Zhao's mother laughed, and the wrinkles on her face became deeper: "Xiaoqi has grown a lot taller, by the way, does your father treat you well?"
Li Qi knew Zhao's mother would ask this question, and the care like a family made Li Qi feel warm: "He treats me very well, and I may go abroad to study next year."
"Does your brother know why you have to go so far away?" Zhao's mother originally thought that although Beijing is quite far away, she was still in China, and she wanted to go to see Li Qi by train.
Li Qi shook his head: "I haven't told my brother yet, but my brother is getting married soon, I will leave after he gets married."
"Oh, the last time Li Xun called, he only said that he was in a relationship, and he would get married if it suits him. I didn't expect it to be so soon." Seeing that the two children were getting farther and farther away from her, Zhao's mother felt inexplicably uncomfortable. His son was still so stubborn, so he recognized Chen Zhengsong.
Li Qi could also see that Zhao Ma was in a bad mood, but he could guess that it must be related to Zhao Yong, and Zhao Yong had been avoiding marriage all these years because of Chen Zhengsong.Zhao Yong's persistence will only bring harm to his family, but if Zhao Yong does not resist the harm in this way, only his lover will be the only one who resists the harm. This is a difficult thing to have both, and it will only continue the vicious circle.
Li Qi gently hugged this little old lady, with gray hair, telling the ruthlessness of time, wrinkles around her eyes and forehead, Li Qi comforted softly: "Mom Zhao, in my heart you are just like my own mother, I love you Although I will go far away in the future, I will still come back to see you, and you should not be angry with Brother Zhao Yong, as long as you and Uncle Zhao are on good terms, no matter how far I go, I will feel at ease."
Zhao's mother burst into tears when she heard these words. She has been forcing her son all these years, but he has always refused to give in.She was afraid to see Zhao Yong's miserable old age, nearly forty years old but no children, only living with one man, no name and no role? But the old man didn't care about anything. He went to the park every day to play chess or drink tea with people. She could only silently endure all the rumors from outside.
Li Qi patted Zhao Ma on the back and said in a low voice, "Zhao Ma, don't be sad."
Zhao Ma let go of Li Qi, took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped away her tears, "Look at me, when I'm old, I cry every now and then."
Li Qi smiled and looked at Zhao's mother, and Zhao's mother looked at Li Qi: "Later, Zhao's mother will prepare more dishes, you should eat more."
Li Qi smiled, "Okay, let me help you."
"Okay, let's go buy some food first, I don't know you will come back today, there is not enough food"
Li Qi told Tang Yaoyang, and then accompanied Zhao Mama to go shopping for groceries, to a newly opened supermarket not far from Zhao's house.
Zhao's mother asked how she met her father, recognized each other, treated him well, and so on.
Li Qi told Zhao's mother what happened to his mother Li Qingyun and Tang Yaoyang back then. Zhao's mother thought about it and said, "It's not your father's fault. Who made him unable to resist the family at that time?" Then she paused, thinking of herself Isn't your son also fighting against the family?
Zhao's mother bought a lot of vegetables, Li Qi came back with the bag, Li Qi sat on the stool and helped Zhao's mother choose vegetables, Tang Yaoyang came out to the bathroom, looked at Li Qi and smiled.
Li Qi found that Zhao Yong was always looking at his mobile phone and looking outside from time to time. There should be something wrong, but Zhao's father had been sitting opposite him all the time, which made Zhao Yong anxious but did not dare to leave without authorization.
Li Qi chose the vegetables, washed them, and put them into small pots separately. When Zhao Ma came back, she cut up the chicken and stewed it in a small electric cooker, and the aroma wafted out.
Mother Zhao chopped up the shredded meat, chopped the onion, ginger and garlic and put them in a small plate, and said to Li Qi, "Xiao Qi, go back to the room and sit down, I don't need you here."
"Okay, then call me if you have anything to do." Li Qi just stopped at the door of the house, and he stood there quietly listening to the conversation in the house.
Zhao's father fiddled with his favorite tea set, and said lightly: "If you want to go out, go out, let that child come and have a meal together."
Zhao Yong was taken aback at first, but when he heard his father say this, the surprise in his heart was on his face, and he stood up abruptly, "Dad, thank you for your success."
Zhao's father waved his hands without looking up or looking at him.
Zhao Yong saw Li Qi as soon as he went out the door, and showed a bright smile at Li Qi, like a child who received the most precious gift in the world.
Li Qi was very happy that Zhao Yongneng and Chen Zhengsong had a happy ending. He looked up at the jujube tree above. Although the branches were dead due to the cold, they would still germinate, bloom and bear fruit next year, which is great.
Tang Yaoyang came out of the toilet, washed his hands in the sink, looked at Li Qi and asked with a smile, "What's so happy?"
Li Qi smiled slyly: "You will know in a while."
Tang Yaoyang didn't ask any more questions, but asked Li Qi to take him to the room where he lived before. Li Qi said, "Okay."
Li Qi took the key from Zhao Ma and opened the door.
Tang Yaoyang went in and took a look. The layout of the room was very simple. There was a double bed, a desk by the window, a bookcase next to it, and a wardrobe on the other side against the wall.
There is only a bed board on the bed, the quilts are all put away, and the bookcase is also covered with cloth, so I'm afraid it will attract dust.On the wall are Li Qi's certificates from childhood to adulthood, more than a dozen certificates are still very conspicuous at first glance, Tang Yaoyang thought to himself that he and Qingyun's children are indeed so smart since childhood.
The author has something to say: I have been sick recently, with a cold and a low-grade fever, and my throat is so uncomfortable that I have been resting for a few days, so the update is late, and I want to say sorry to everyone
Chapter 16
"Did you live here all the time when you were a child?" Tang Yaoyang sat down on the clean bed, which was still covered with newspapers, so it wasn't very dirty.
Li Qi nodded and said: "In addition to living in school, I only come back to live during the holidays." His eyes are full of nostalgia, the childhood time is always so beautiful and hazy when I think about it now, but it is gone forever.
Tang Yaoyang looked at Li Qi and said with a smile: "When people miss something, they feel good, just like me and you..."
It seemed to be stuck in the middle of the talk, Tang Yaoyang and Li Qi rarely mentioned Li Qingyun's affairs during the time they were together, and she was the only one they could talk to, but they were silent on each other.Although Li Qingyun in Li Qi's heart is very vague, he still remembers it deeply in his heart.Tang Yaoyang wanted to tell Li Qi a lot about the past and Qingyun, but he didn't know where to start. The past can only be regarded as the past, and there may be conflicts when he mentions it. At his age, sometimes he thinks a little too much.
after a long silence
Li Qi looked down at a certain place on the floor: "When I came to the city when I was a child, I got seriously ill. My brother spent all his savings and borrowed money from others to cure me. Later, he went to serve as a soldier. Because I can get 5 yuan for my education.”
Listening to Li Qi's constant narration, Tang Yaoyang also deeply understood in his heart that it was not easy for Li Xun to bring up Li Qi.This is a great kindness. Although Li Xun might not have expected anything in return when he supported Li Qi, Tang Yaoyang was very grateful to him. Without him, the father and son would not have met each other.
The father and son also forgot the time when they were talking. It was not until Zhao's mother knocked on the door and called for dinner that they walked out of each other one after another.
Only Zhao's father was sitting on the dining table in the room. As soon as Tang Yaoyang entered the room, he saw a man besides Zhao Yong standing beside him, and his posture seemed to be from the army.
As soon as Tang Yaoyang stepped forward to sit down, Father Zhao opened a bottle of white wine and said to Tang Yaoyang, "Come on, drink it open today."
Seeing Tang Yaoyang nodding, Li Qi couldn't sit still, and directly interrupted Zhao's father: "My father can't drink."
Father Zhao chuckled, "Okay, then don't drink it." Turning his head and ignoring his son's black face, "Xiao Chen, just drink with me."
Chen Zhengsong nodded and said happily, "Thank you Uncle Zhao."
Everyone at the table sat down, Li Qi took the initiative to pick up dishes for Tang Yaoyang, and said: "The dishes made by Zhao Mama, I have loved the dishes made by Zhao Mama since I was a child, try it."
Zhao's mother smiled kindly, "Yes, Xiaoqi has loved to eat my cooking since he was a child. Xiaoqi's father, if you can't drink, you can eat more dishes."
Tang Yaoyang always had a smile on his face, and sat there relaxed all over his body. Hearing Mama Zhao's words, he nodded and replied, "Okay, thank you."
At the dinner table, Zhao's father kept persuading Chen Zhengsong to drink, and Zhao Yong intervened in it, and the drinking was really lively.Li Qi, on the other hand, ate his dishes relatively quietly, listening to Zhao's mother telling his father about his childhood embarrassment, some things he couldn't remember clearly, but his cheeks were still slightly red while listening.
Tang Yaoyang didn't expect his son to have such a lively side when he was a child, and he even fought with others when he was a child. He always thought that Xiao Qi was a quiet child when he was a child. He turned to look at Li Qi with a playful look in his eyes.
Li Qi didn't eat much, he was the first to finish his meal, and the moment he put down his chopsticks, Tang Yaoyang also put down his chopsticks.
Li Qi asked softly: "Have you eaten yet?"
"I'm full." Tang Yaoyang nodded with a smile. He usually doesn't eat much. Coupled with the pungent smell of wine, his stomach began to toss, but he still smiled and pretended to be fine, just thinking about it for a while Just take some medicine.
At the dinner table, Father Zhao was still fighting wine with Chen Zhengsong, it was obvious that he drank too much, and Father Zhao's face turned red.But Chen Zhengsong was given wine by Zhao's father, and he drank it, his face was not flushed and he was not out of breath, but his eyes often wandered.Zhao Yong was persuading, but he didn't expect that the more he persuaded the two, the more they drank, and he could only look at his mother as if asking for help.
Zhao's mother didn't want to talk to her son at first, but she saw that the old man drank too much, and he hadn't drank like this for many years. When he was old, drinking too much alcohol would always hurt his health, and he was even more afraid that he would get sick from drinking.She also knew that her old man had been under no less pressure than her these years. She heard the rumors from the outside world and always quarreled with others.
This time, the other half of my son is also here. I haven't screwed my son over for so many years, so I can only compromise.
Mother Zhao tugged at the old man's clothes under the table, and said softly, "Don't drink, my wife. I'll help you into the house."
Zhao's father turned his head and looked at Zhao's mother who nodded in a daze. Zhao's mother said to Zhao Yong: "Help your father into the house." Zhao Yong stepped forward to help his father into the bedroom before coming out.
Chen Zhengsong lay on the corner of the table and was sound asleep. Li Qi and Tang Yaoyang sat on the side, and they all looked at Zhao Yong when he came out.
Zhao Yong chuckled twice, "What, I'll help Zhengsong back to the room, you guys sit down." After speaking, he set up Chen Zhengsong and went back to his own room.
Tang Yaoyang turned to Li Qi and said, "Let's go in a while and go to Li Shu Village."
Li Qi nodded, "I'll tell Zhao Mama when she comes out later."
Zhao's mother first took off her coat, shoes and socks for her husband, and covered her with a quilt before coming out of the house.
Hearing that Li Qi said he was going to leave and went back to his hometown to have a look, Mother Zhao was a little sad. She hadn't seen him for half a year, and she had to leave after returning home for a long time, but she still didn't stop her, and said with a kind smile: "It's okay to go back and have a look Well, come back and live when you have time."
Li Qi stepped forward and hugged Zhao Ma who was about to cry, comforting softly: "Well, good."
Li Qi waved to Mama Zhao and got into the car, Mama Zhao told her in front of the car window: "Be careful on the road, call if you have something to do."
The car went far away, Zhao Ma was still standing there, until the shadow of the car disappeared, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at the gray sky, but thought, people are really old, and turned back to the house when they were old.
Li Qi sat in the back seat of the car and looked backward, watching Zhao Ma's figure gradually shrink until she could no longer see her, then sat facing forward.What still comes to mind is Zhao Ma's figure. I remember when I first came to Zhao's house when I was a child, Zhao Ma was still a very elegant middle-aged woman, but now she is much older, her back is not as straight as before, and her face is wrinkled. More, more gray hair.
The pace of time is always so fast, but I have grown up, but they are getting old, Li Qi can't help but feel sad thinking about it.
Tang Yaoyang saw Li Qi falling asleep leaning on the seat, so he took a blanket and covered it up.He took out the small medicine bottle from his pocket, poured a few pills in the palm of his hand, took the thermos cup and opened it, raised his head and drank all the medicine, put the water cup away, sat next to Li Qi, and closed his eyes against the seat Rest up.
When Li Qi woke up, he felt that the car had stopped. He sat up and looked out the window blankly. This was the place.Then he opened the car door and got out of the car. The old house in front of him was his home. The door was open now, and Li Qi walked in directly.
Seeing Li Qi coming in, Tang Yaoyang smiled and asked, "Did you just wake up and how did you sleep?"
"Fortunately, what's going on in the room?" A strand of Li Qi's hair curled up, making him look even younger.
"I asked Xiao Wang and the others to clean it up"
Li Qi followed Tang Yaoyang into the house and saw two tall men tidying up in an orderly manner, and he had nothing to do with him, so he said to Tang Yaoyang, "Let's go to my mother's grave first."
"Okay" Tang Yaoyang walked along beside Li Qi, watching Li Qi greet people he met on the road, and occasionally looked at him curiously.
Li Qi asked Tang Yaoyang to wait for him for a while, and Li Qi went to a shop not far away to buy some paper money and incense sticks and came back.
"Okay, let's go"
In winter, the mountain is bare everywhere, with dead branches and leaves all over the ground. The two walked along the path to the back mountain, and saw several graves piled up between the mountains from a distance.
Tang Yaoyang stood in front of the grave, Li Qi put the incense sticks in front of the grave, and lit the paper money, the fire gradually became smaller, and when the wind blew, the ashes swirled away with the wind.
Now that Tang Yaoyang was in front of Li Qingyun's grave again, his heart still hurt unspeakably. Although many years had passed, there was still no change, as if a brand was deeply engraved on his heart. "Qingyun, although I don't know how long my body can last, I will try my best to arrange our children's future, don't worry," Tang Yaoyang said silently in his heart.
-----------------------
"Hey, Xiaowen." Li Xun called his girlfriend when he was free.
"Well, how about going back to the army, are you busy?" Wang Jingwen had just finished her graduation procedures, and she hadn't had a good rest for a few days. Just as she was about to take a break, she received a call from Li Xun.To be honest, she doesn't have much affection for Li Xun, only met a few times, and it is unrealistic to say that she has deep affection.I just think that when I get older, I see the separation and reunion of friends and sisters around me, and I want to find a suitable person to be with, so that my family will no longer worry.
"Fortunately, I have applied for a vacation. I will go back during the Chinese New Year. Then I will go to your house to book our business. What do you think?" In Li Xun's opinion, Wang Jingwen fits all the requirements of his wife, without dazzling looks , The speech is also very nice, and you can feel the fragrance of books when you get close.
"Okay, I'll pack my luggage and go home in two days. I'll tell my parents." Wang Jingwen thinks that Li Xun has no bad habits, and after meeting and chatting a few times, he has a good personality, although he doesn't talk much. , but it also makes people feel safe.If she gets married, she is willing from the bottom of her heart, not to mention that his family has a simple population, and his younger brother Li Qi is also a college student, and he doesn't seem to be unreasonable, so this is enough.
"Be careful on the road," Li Xun did not forget to remind him, and hung up the phone with a smile.
The author has something to say: When I recommend a song "Tears" for the first time, I will feel the urge to cry. I don't know if you will.
Chapter 17
The cold winter wind blows over, making people shiver with cold. Chaoyang City belongs to the north of the south, but it is dry and cold in winter, and it is raining lightly again today.People who are packed tightly and want to go out stretch out their hands, and the palms look like snow, but they still fear the cold and run around for their lives.
Li Xun got off the train with a big bag on his back, not afraid of the rain or snow, he ran out directly, took a taxi, got into the car and said to the driver, "Master, we are at Chaoyang Hotel."
The driver saw that Li Xun was wearing a camouflage uniform, obviously a soldier, and chatted with Li Xun while driving the car: "Hey, your army is also going home for the New Year holiday."
Li Xun nodded, "Yes."
"Then where are you from?" The driver should be more talkative, more enthusiastic and familiar.
"My hometown is Li Shu Village." Li Xun took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the front: "Here is one, master."
The driver took the cigarette with a smile and put it on his ear, "My hometown is in Ninghe Village, not far from Lishu Village."
Li Xunhe wrote: "It's not far away."
The Chaoyang Hotel was not far away. Li Xun got out of the car, said goodbye to the driver, and entered the hotel.
A waiter stepped forward and asked politely: "Hi sir, what can I do for you?"
"Oh, I'm looking for someone, I'll make a call first." Li Xun took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Qi's number, and said, "Xiao Qi, which room are you in? Yes, I'm in the lobby on the first floor, okay."
Li Xun said to the waiter: "My brother will be down in a while, so I don't need to trouble you."
Li Xun stood in the lobby for only 2 minutes, and Li Qi came out of the elevator. Seeing brother standing there, he walked over quickly and shouted "brother" with a smile.
Li Xun also laughed, until Xiaoqi stood in front of him, he reached out and patted Li Qi's shoulder: "You seem to have grown taller again, kid."
Li Qi scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother, let's go up first." There were already people looking this way.
"Brother, I'll help you carry the bag." Li Qi wanted to get the bag, but was blocked by Li Xun. Li Xun carried it by himself: "Your hand is for holding the pen. I can't bear to let you do the work. Let's go." Xun put his arms around Li Qi's shoulders and walked towards the elevator.
Li Qi felt warm in his heart, but he also suppressed the gushing emotions in his heart. He could only tell himself that he couldn't let his brother down, he couldn't
After entering the elevator, Li Xun let go of his arms and stopped holding Li Qi. He just asked, "Just tell me the room number. Why are you still running down?"
"I'll come pick you up bro"
The elevator went up quickly, and then reached the top floor. Except for Tang Yaoyang's presidential suite, the top floor was the VIP room.
Li Qi led his brother in, "Brother, should you take a bath first or eat first?"
"I've had breakfast on the train, let's take a shower first." Li Xun opened his bag, pulled out his clothes, and said to Li Qi with a smile, "I'll take a shower first, and I'll tell you when I come out later." thing"
Li Qi nodded, looking at his back as he walked towards the bathroom, he kept thinking about what he was going to say, it must have something to do with Wang Jingwen.
Li Xun came out of the shower and sat down on the sofa opposite Li Qi, "Accompany me to go shopping at Xiaowen's house tomorrow."
"I, it's not good for me to go." As expected, it was all related to Wang Jingwen, but he didn't want to go, but he was afraid that his brother would be angry.
Li Xun raised his eyebrows: "Why is it not good, we are all the closest family members, your brother and my life-long event, whoever you don't go to."
Li Qi forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." Li Qi remembered that his brother and his father had never met, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's time for my father to get up for breakfast. I want to meet you, do you want to sleep first, or come with me to meet him now"
Li Xun thought for a while, anyway, he didn't feel sleepy now, so he went to see Xiao Qi's father first, then nodded and said, "Then go and have a look."
Tang Yaoyang woke up a long time ago. Before Zhao Nan called to report some company affairs, Zhao Nan, as Mr. Tang's secretary for many years, also praised Charles for his work on the phone.Tang Yaoyang listened to Zhao Nan's words with an indifferent expression. He already knew Charles's talent, so don't just lure wolves into the house.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Li Qi came, Tang Yaoyang finally saw Li Xun, he smiled and looked at Li Xun.He is taller than 1.8 meters, with broad shoulders, bright eyebrows, and sharp eyes. It can be seen at a glance that he has been in the army for many years.
Li Xun walked over with a smile and held out his hand: "Hi, I'm Li Xun, Xiao Qi's brother."
Tang Yaoyang also smiled, and held Li Xun's hand back: "Hi, I'm Xiaoqi's father." He let go and said with a smile: "Sit down."
Li Xun was not polite, and sat down directly, and Li Qi also sat down beside him. Li Xun smiled and glanced at Li Qi, and then said to Tang Yaoyang: "I have always wanted to see you, but I have no time."
"Me too" Tang Yaoyang covered his mouth and coughed, saw Li Qi's concerned eyes, smiled and said: "I'm fine." Then he said to Li Xun: "You have been in the army for many years, what are your plans in the future?"
"I came back this time to confirm the marriage, and Xiao Qi's matter," Li Xun replied calmly.
"You have also reached the age to start a family. Don't worry about Xiaoqi. I am just a child like him. I am very happy to find him back. I will take good care of him." Tang Yaoyang assured Li Xun with a smile.
Li Xun nodded, "I believe in this, because Xiaoqi has been very good since he was a child, and I treat him as my own child in my heart. I will feel relieved to have you take care of him in the future."
Li Qi sat quietly on the side, listening to his brother and father talking seriously, until the waiter came to deliver breakfast.
Tang Yaoyang asked Li Xun to have something to eat with him, but Li Xun refused because he had already had breakfast, Li Xun said to Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi, you can eat with your dad, eat slowly, I'll go back to sleep first."
Li Qi handed the room card to Li Xun and said, "Brother, go to sleep for a while."
Li Xun took the room card, nodded and smiled at Tang Yaoyang, and left.
Li Qi ate very quietly, Tang Yaoyang didn't talk much, and both of them had small appetites, so breakfast ended quietly.
Tang Yaoyang personally brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Li Qi. Tang Yaoyang said warmly, "Xiao Qi, how about you try this tea?"
Li Qi picked it up and took a sip. In fact, he didn't know how to taste tea, but he didn't think it was bitter after drinking it. Instead, there was a fragrance lingering between his lips and teeth. He nodded and smiled, "It's delicious."
Tang Yaoyang smiled, "The Chinese New Year is only ten days away, I will be here with you this year"
"Okay, so is your company okay?" Li Qi thought that he had been spending the Chinese New Year at Zhao's house before, and his brother didn't come back every year.Dad was able to put down work and celebrate the New Year with him, and I was really touched. It's different to have relatives by my side.
"Charles is taking care of the company, and Zhao Nan is helping me, so that I can take a break." Tang Yaoyang smiled mischievously and winked at Li Qi.
"Well, you still need to pay more attention to your body." Li Qi looked at Tang Yaoyang's pale face, it seemed that he was lacking in energy and blood, and his appetite was pitifully small each time. During the breakfast just now, he noticed that Tang Yaoyang only drank a small bowl The glutinous rice porridge and the steamed stuffed bun were put down after only two bites.
Tang Yaoyang nodded and agreed, "Well, I'm fine, what do you need to prepare for your brother's wedding?"
Li Qi shook his head, "I don't know, my brother asked me to accompany him to buy gifts tomorrow, and to visit his father-in-law's house."
"Your brother is getting married. I'll give him a new house. I don't mean anything else, just to thank him for bringing you up." Tang Yaoyang silently observed Li Qi's expression after speaking.
Li Qi froze for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll tell him, I know what you mean, Dad, thank you"
Tang Yaoyang leaned over to Li Qi's side, and patted Li Qi's shoulder: "Why are you being polite to Dad, I will arrange for you to study abroad after the New Year, go to America with me."
"Okay" Anyway, my brother's marriage is about to be decided, so what's the point of staying here? It's better to leave with my dad and stay away from my brother, maybe the longing in my heart will gradually fade away.
When Li Qi returned to the room, he saw Li Xun lying on the bed and fell asleep, so he walked over lightly and sat down beside the bed.Quietly looking at my brother's sleeping face, listening to the shallow breathing, I put my hand on Li Xun's chest, and the heartbeat was transmitted through the palm of my hand.
The other hand gently held Li Xun's hand, and it was also the same hands. After his grandma passed away, he stood alone at the door with tears on his face, and his brother who was rushed back by the wind and dust stretched out his arms to hug him.At that time, my elder brother looked very tall. Although he has grown up now, his elder brother still has a tall image in his heart.
Looking at Li Xun's eyes full of affection, he murmured to himself, "Brother, if I were braver, would there be a different result?" But I'm more afraid that you hate me, and if you don't see me, maybe Brother can't do it either.I really don't want you to get married, but I have delayed you for so many years, since she is what you want, then I will wish you a happy family in the future.

Chapter 18
18
The sky was getting brighter, and the sun hid in the clouds like a child and could not come out.
Li Xun woke up very early, and it was only 05:30 when he saw the time. He got up early in the army habitually, and couldn't fall asleep after waking up.
Zheng Xiang, who was sleeping on Li Qi's side, stretched out one leg, pressing on Li Xun's body. Li Xun, who was between a boy and a man, gently moved Li Qi's leg away before getting off his shoes and stretching. waist.
There was a gym downstairs, and Li Xun went there to exercise for a while. He didn't go back to his room until he was sweating all over his body.
Li Qi also woke up. He just finished washing and was changing clothes. As soon as Brother Meng entered the room, he could only suppress his embarrassment and get dressed quickly. "Brother, where have you been?"
"I went to the gym downstairs, I'm sweating all over my body, I'm going to take a shower first." Li Xun took off his underwear, only wearing a boxer briefs, and went into the bathroom.
"Brother, hurry up, I'll go to my dad's and wait for you to have breakfast together." Li Qi ran away after finishing speaking. He was still blushing and heartbeating from the scene he saw just now. He just simply took off his clothes, a half naked body, They were all so alluring to him.
When Li Qi went to Tang Yaoyang's place, a bodyguard at the door said respectfully, "Young Master Li, good morning."
Li Qi was stunned for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable, and came back to his senses: "Good morning, have you eaten yet?"
The bodyguard probably didn't expect Li Qi to ask him this question, with a smile on his face: "I'm done eating, the two of us will take turns to eat."
Li Qi nodded and went straight into the room. Tang Yaoyang was sitting on a soft chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. When he saw Xiao Qi coming to greet him, he said, "Come and sit for a while."
Li Qi sat on another sofa next to him, "You wake up very early every day"
"Yeah, I feel less when I get older, it's nice to see you all still young." Tang Yaoyang took a cup of stomach warming tea, took two sips and then put it down, "Your brother is going to discuss marriage today."
"Well, after dinner, I'll go shopping with my brother first, and then I'll go to the woman's house." Li Qi sat there indifferently, with the melancholy that couldn't be erased from his eyes.
"I don't know the process of marriage, but if parents of both parties need to go, I can replace it." Tang Yaoyang said with a casual smile. He has never been married, and his marriage column will always be unmarried. sad
"Okay." After Li Qi finished speaking, Li Xun pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that the two were still talking, he asked, "Breakfast hasn't been delivered yet?"
Tang Yaoyang glanced at his watch, it was only 5 minutes before seven o'clock "Come on, sit down for a while"
As soon as Li Xun sat down, the waiter who brought breakfast came in pushing the dining cart. After the waiter bowed and said hello, he began to put the breakfast on the table before pushing the dining cart out.
Li Xun was a little hungry. When he ate four buns, the other two hadn't finished the first one. "You guys are so slow to eat, I'm already the fourth one."
Tang Yaoyang continued to fight with a bowl of porridge with a smile. He was not surprised by Li Xun's big appetite. It seemed that everyone who came out of the barracks had a big appetite, and he knew Li Xun's appetite yesterday.
Li Qi poured a glass of water and put it in front of Li Xun: "Brother, eat slowly, don't choke."
"It's okay, let's go after dinner, I'm afraid it will snow today, so I'll go early after buying something." Li Xun finished his porridge after a few sips.
Li Qi nodded, and put a slice of egg pancake on Tang Yaoyang's plate opposite.Tang Yaoyang's appetite is not bad today, he ate a small bowl of porridge, looked at his son's cake, and ate it with a smile.
After eating, Li Qi stood up and said, "Eat slowly, my brother and I will leave first, call me on the phone if you need something."
Tang Yaoyang smiled and said, "Well, you guys go."
When going downstairs, Li Qi asked: "Where shall we go shopping?"
"There is a Lintai shopping mall 200 meters away, let's go there." The Lintai shopping mall has been open for many years, and Li Xun has only been to this shopping mall more often.
The two took the elevator down to the first floor, and the cold wind hit their faces as soon as they left the door, and Li Qi was shocked instantly.
Li Xun said with concern: "Go up and put on some more clothes."
Li Qi raised his collar, and after getting used to it a little, he said, "It's okay, I just came out and felt cold, let's go."
The two walked this road, and when they turned to cross the road, Li Xun grabbed
It's just that what happened later really made Tang Yaoyang unpredictable. Charles took care of the company, and entertainment was a must, because everyone knew that the big boss had only one adopted son, so he naturally wanted to make friends.
Drinking is inevitable for entertainment, Charles drank too much, and Tang Yaoyang also returned home from the hospital to recuperate at that time. Under the courage of the wine, Charles went crazy with alcohol to Tang Yaoyang.
Tang Yaoyang pushed Charles away and ran back to the room to close the door. This was not what shocked him the most. What he panicked was that he reacted when he was kissed passionately by Charles. Could it be because he hadn't been in contact with a woman for a long time? , otherwise how could it be possible
In a panic, Tang Yaoyang simply packed his things, told Zhao Nan to follow Charles to take care of the company, and hurried back to the country with two bodyguards.
Tang Yaoyang followed Li Qi to Zhao's house in Chaoyang City. Tang Yaoyang went to buy some gifts and asked the bodyguards to put them in the car.
Li Qi looked at Tang Yaoyang: "Actually, there is no need to buy so many things."
Tang Yaoyang smiled and said: "I am very grateful to them for taking care of you growing up, so these things are not worth anything."
Li Qi stopped talking, and when he arrived at Zhao's house, he realized that the atmosphere in Zhao's house was not right.
Mother Zhao forced a smile when she saw Li Qi, "Xiao Qi is back, why don't you let me know in advance so that I can pick you up?"
Li Qi looked at Zhao Yong, who was hanging his head in mourning, Zhao Yong glanced at Li Qi, but didn't say anything.
Uncle Zhao just nodded his head when he saw Li Qi, and looked at the man beside Li Qi. Mother Zhao also saw the man beside Li Qi, and asked Li Qi with a smile: "Xiao Qi, who is behind you?"
Li Qi introduced to Mother Zhao: "Mom Zhao, Uncle Zhao, this is my father."
Zhao's mother looked at the two father and son, there was still a bit of resemblance between the eyebrows, but Xiaoqi's father was really young, and he should be a person who did great things. His identity was unusual at first glance, not to mention the two burly men behind him. bodyguard.
"You are Xiaoqi's father, you must take good care of Xiaoqi in the future." Zhao's mother inevitably said a few words.
Tang Yaoyang nodded and smiled, "That's natural."
The whole group was still standing, and Zhao's father stepped forward and said, "Let's all sit down and talk."
After Tang Yaoyang sat down on the chair, he asked the bodyguard to bring in the gift, and said to Zhao's parents and Zhao's mother with a smile: "Small, please accept it. I am very grateful to you for taking care of Xiaoqi for many years."
Mother Zhao took the gift and put it aside, then Father Zhao chatted with Tang Yaoyang: "You are Xiao Qi's biological father, I haven't asked you for your name yet."
Tang Yaoyang smiled and said: "My name is Tang Yaoyang, and I have been abroad before. I have been looking for Xiao Qi since he was a child. He lived with his brother outside, and I have never found him. This time I saw him at school when I returned to China. Only then did we recognize each other."
Zhao's father nodded and said: "It's also because you are destined to recognize each other. You have met Li Xun."
Tang Yaoyang shook his head: "I didn't have time to see you last time, but he will always come back this time during the Chinese New Year, so I can see you again, and Xiao Qi mentioned me to Li Xun earlier."
"Then what are your plans for the future?" Xiaoqi has been in the Zhao family for these years, after all, he grew up watching him grow up, so Dad Zhao still wants Tang Yaoyang to tell him, so that he can feel at ease.
"Please don't worry about this, Xiaoqi promised me to study abroad, and I will gradually hand over the company to him to manage"
Father Zhao felt relieved when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "Then let's stay for dinner together at noon."
Tang Yaoyang looked at Li Qi, nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Qi was dragged to the kitchen by Zhao's mother, "Zhao's mother, when I just came back, what happened at home today?"
Zhao's mother was worried, but she just shook her head and looked at Li Qi carefully: "It looks like he has grown some meat, you need to eat more in the future."
Li Qi was holding Zhao's mother's arm, and said with a smile: "Well, I must have gained weight, the school cafeteria eats well, Zhao's mother, have I grown taller?"
Zhao's mother laughed, and the wrinkles on her face became deeper: "Xiaoqi has grown a lot taller, by the way, does your father treat you well?"
Li Qi knew Zhao's mother would ask this question, and the care like a family made Li Qi feel warm: "He treats me very well, and I may go abroad to study next year."
"Does your brother know why you have to go so far away?" Zhao's mother originally thought that although Beijing is quite far away, she was still in China, and she wanted to go to see Li Qi by train.
Li Qi shook his head: "I haven't told my brother yet, but my brother is getting married soon, I will leave after he gets married."
"Oh, the last time Li Xun called, he only said that he was in a relationship, and he would get married if it suits him. I didn't expect it to be so soon." Seeing that the two children were getting farther and farther away from her, Zhao's mother felt inexplicably uncomfortable. His son was still so stubborn, so he recognized Chen Zhengsong.
Li Qi could also see that Zhao Ma was in a bad mood, but he could guess that it must be related to Zhao Yong, and Zhao Yong had been avoiding marriage all these years because of Chen Zhengsong.Zhao Yong's persistence will only bring harm to his family, but if Zhao Yong does not resist the harm in this way, only his lover will be the only one who resists the harm. This is a difficult thing to have both, and it will only continue the vicious circle.
Li Qi gently hugged this little old lady, with gray hair, telling the ruthlessness of time, wrinkles around her eyes and forehead, Li Qi comforted softly: "Mom Zhao, in my heart you are just like my own mother, I love you Although I will go far away in the future, I will still come back to see you, and you should not be angry with Brother Zhao Yong, as long as you and Uncle Zhao are on good terms, no matter how far I go, I will feel at ease."
Zhao's mother burst into tears when she heard these words. She has been forcing her son all these years, but he has always refused to give in.She was afraid to see Zhao Yong's miserable old age, nearly forty years old but no children, only living with one man, no name and no role? But the old man didn't care about anything. He went to the park every day to play chess or drink tea with people. She could only silently endure all the rumors from outside.
Li Qi patted Zhao Ma on the back and said in a low voice, "Zhao Ma, don't be sad."
Zhao Ma let go of Li Qi, took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped away her tears, "Look at me, when I'm old, I cry every now and then."
Li Qi smiled and looked at Zhao's mother, and Zhao's mother looked at Li Qi: "Later, Zhao's mother will prepare more dishes, you should eat more."
Li Qi smiled, "Okay, let me help you."
"Okay, let's go buy some food first, I don't know you will come back today, there is not enough food"
Li Qi told Tang Yaoyang, and then accompanied Zhao Mama to go shopping for groceries, to a newly opened supermarket not far from Zhao's house.
Zhao's mother asked how she met her father, recognized each other, treated him well, and so on.
Li Qi told Zhao's mother what happened to his mother Li Qingyun and Tang Yaoyang back then. Zhao's mother thought about it and said, "It's not your father's fault. Who made him unable to resist the family at that time?" Then she paused, thinking of herself Isn't your son also fighting against the family?
Zhao's mother bought a lot of vegetables, Li Qi came back with the bag, Li Qi sat on the stool and helped Zhao's mother choose vegetables, Tang Yaoyang came out to the bathroom, looked at Li Qi and smiled.
Li Qi found that Zhao Yong was always looking at his mobile phone and looking outside from time to time. There should be something wrong, but Zhao's father had been sitting opposite him all the time, which made Zhao Yong anxious but did not dare to leave without authorization.
Li Qi chose the vegetables, washed them, and put them into small pots separately. When Zhao Ma came back, she cut up the chicken and stewed it in a small electric cooker, and the aroma wafted out.
Mother Zhao chopped up the shredded meat, chopped the onion, ginger and garlic and put them in a small plate, and said to Li Qi, "Xiao Qi, go back to the room and sit down, I don't need you here."
"Okay, then call me if you have anything to do." Li Qi just stopped at the door of the house, and he stood there quietly listening to the conversation in the house.
Zhao's father fiddled with his favorite tea set, and said lightly: "If you want to go out, go out, let that child come and have a meal together."
Zhao Yong was taken aback at first, but when he heard his father say this, the surprise in his heart was on his face, and he stood up abruptly, "Dad, thank you for your success."
Zhao's father waved his hands without looking up or looking at him.
Zhao Yong saw Li Qi as soon as he went out the door, and showed a bright smile at Li Qi, like a child who received the most precious gift in the world.
Li Qi was very happy that Zhao Yongneng and Chen Zhengsong had a happy ending. He looked up at the jujube tree above. Although the branches were dead due to the cold, they would still germinate, bloom and bear fruit next year, which is great.
Tang Yaoyang came out of the toilet, washed his hands in the sink, looked at Li Qi and asked with a smile, "What's so happy?"
Li Qi smiled slyly: "You will know in a while."
Tang Yaoyang didn't ask any more questions, but asked Li Qi to take him to the room where he lived before. Li Qi said, "Okay."
Li Qi took the key from Zhao Ma and opened the door.
Tang Yaoyang went in and took a look. The layout of the room was very simple. There was a double bed, a desk by the window, a bookcase next to it, and a wardrobe on the other side against the wall.
There is only a bed board on the bed, the quilts are all put away, and the bookcase is also covered with cloth, so I'm afraid it will attract dust.On the wall are Li Qi's certificates from childhood to adulthood, more than a dozen certificates are still very conspicuous at first glance, Tang Yaoyang thought to himself that he and Qingyun's children are indeed so smart since childhood.
The author has something to say: I have been sick recently, with a cold and a low-grade fever, and my throat is so uncomfortable that I have been resting for a few days, so the update is late, and I want to say sorry to everyone
Chapter 16
"Did you live here all the time when you were a child?" Tang Yaoyang sat down on the clean bed, which was still covered with newspapers, so it wasn't very dirty.
Li Qi nodded and said: "In addition to living in school, I only come back to live during the holidays." His eyes are full of nostalgia, the childhood time is always so beautiful and hazy when I think about it now, but it is gone forever.
Tang Yaoyang looked at Li Qi and said with a smile: "When people miss something, they feel good, just like me and you..."
It seemed to be stuck in the middle of the talk, Tang Yaoyang and Li Qi rarely mentioned Li Qingyun's affairs during the time they were together, and she was the only one they could talk to, but they were silent on each other.Although Li Qingyun in Li Qi's heart is very vague, he still remembers it deeply in his heart.Tang Yaoyang wanted to tell Li Qi a lot about the past and Qingyun, but he didn't know where to start. The past can only be regarded as the past, and there may be conflicts when he mentions it. At his age, sometimes he thinks a little too much.
after a long silence
Li Qi looked down at a certain place on the floor: "When I came to the city when I was a child, I got seriously ill. My brother spent all his savings and borrowed money from others to cure me. Later, he went to serve as a soldier. Because I can get 5 yuan for my education.”
Listening to Li Qi's constant narration, Tang Yaoyang also deeply understood in his heart that it was not easy for Li Xun to bring up Li Qi.This is a great kindness. Although Li Xun might not have expected anything in return when he supported Li Qi, Tang Yaoyang was very grateful to him. Without him, the father and son would not have met each other.
The father and son also forgot the time when they were talking. It was not until Zhao's mother knocked on the door and called for dinner that they walked out of each other one after another.
Only Zhao's father was sitting on the dining table in the room. As soon as Tang Yaoyang entered the room, he saw a man besides Zhao Yong standing beside him, and his posture seemed to be from the army.
As soon as Tang Yaoyang stepped forward to sit down, Father Zhao opened a bottle of white wine and said to Tang Yaoyang, "Come on, drink it open today."
Seeing Tang Yaoyang nodding, Li Qi couldn't sit still, and directly interrupted Zhao's father: "My father can't drink."
Father Zhao chuckled, "Okay, then don't drink it." Turning his head and ignoring his son's black face, "Xiao Chen, just drink with me."
Chen Zhengsong nodded and said happily, "Thank you Uncle Zhao."
Everyone at the table sat down, Li Qi took the initiative to pick up dishes for Tang Yaoyang, and said: "The dishes made by Zhao Mama, I have loved the dishes made by Zhao Mama since I was a child, try it."
Zhao's mother smiled kindly, "Yes, Xiaoqi has loved to eat my cooking since he was a child. Xiaoqi's father, if you can't drink, you can eat more dishes."
Tang Yaoyang always had a smile on his face, and sat there relaxed all over his body. Hearing Mama Zhao's words, he nodded and replied, "Okay, thank you."
At the dinner table, Zhao's father kept persuading Chen Zhengsong to drink, and Zhao Yong intervened in it, and the drinking was really lively.Li Qi, on the other hand, ate his dishes relatively quietly, listening to Zhao's mother telling his father about his childhood embarrassment, some things he couldn't remember clearly, but his cheeks were still slightly red while listening.
Tang Yaoyang didn't expect his son to have such a lively side when he was a child, and he even fought with others when he was a child. He always thought that Xiao Qi was a quiet child when he was a child. He turned to look at Li Qi with a playful look in his eyes.
Li Qi didn't eat much, he was the first to finish his meal, and the moment he put down his chopsticks, Tang Yaoyang also put down his chopsticks.
Li Qi asked softly: "Have you eaten yet?"
"I'm full." Tang Yaoyang nodded with a smile. He usually doesn't eat much. Coupled with the pungent smell of wine, his stomach began to toss, but he still smiled and pretended to be fine, just thinking about it for a while Just take some medicine.
At the dinner table, Father Zhao was still fighting wine with Chen Zhengsong, it was obvious that he drank too much, and Father Zhao's face turned red.But Chen Zhengsong was given wine by Zhao's father, and he drank it, his face was not flushed and he was not out of breath, but his eyes often wandered.Zhao Yong was persuading, but he didn't expect that the more he persuaded the two, the more they drank, and he could only look at his mother as if asking for help.
Zhao's mother didn't want to talk to her son at first, but she saw that the old man drank too much, and he hadn't drank like this for many years. When he was old, drinking too much alcohol would always hurt his health, and he was even more afraid that he would get sick from drinking.She also knew that her old man had been under no less pressure than her these years. She heard the rumors from the outside world and always quarreled with others.
This time, the other half of my son is also here. I haven't screwed my son over for so many years, so I can only compromise.
Mother Zhao tugged at the old man's clothes under the table, and said softly, "Don't drink, my wife. I'll help you into the house."
Zhao's father turned his head and looked at Zhao's mother who nodded in a daze. Zhao's mother said to Zhao Yong: "Help your father into the house." Zhao Yong stepped forward to help his father into the bedroom before coming out.
Chen Zhengsong lay on the corner of the table and was sound asleep. Li Qi and Tang Yaoyang sat on the side, and they all looked at Zhao Yong when he came out.
Zhao Yong chuckled twice, "What, I'll help Zhengsong back to the room, you guys sit down." After speaking, he set up Chen Zhengsong and went back to his own room.
Tang Yaoyang turned to Li Qi and said, "Let's go in a while and go to Li Shu Village."
Li Qi nodded, "I'll tell Zhao Mama when she comes out later."
Zhao's mother first took off her coat, shoes and socks for her husband, and covered her with a quilt before coming out of the house.
Hearing that Li Qi said he was going to leave and went back to his hometown to have a look, Mother Zhao was a little sad. She hadn't seen him for half a year, and she had to leave after returning home for a long time, but she still didn't stop her, and said with a kind smile: "It's okay to go back and have a look Well, come back and live when you have time."
Li Qi stepped forward and hugged Zhao Ma who was about to cry, comforting softly: "Well, good."
Li Qi waved to Mama Zhao and got into the car, Mama Zhao told her in front of the car window: "Be careful on the road, call if you have something to do."
The car went far away, Zhao Ma was still standing there, until the shadow of the car disappeared, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at the gray sky, but thought, people are really old, and turned back to the house when they were old.
Li Qi sat in the back seat of the car and looked backward, watching Zhao Ma's figure gradually shrink until she could no longer see her, then sat facing forward.What still comes to mind is Zhao Ma's figure. I remember when I first came to Zhao's house when I was a child, Zhao Ma was still a very elegant middle-aged woman, but now she is much older, her back is not as straight as before, and her face is wrinkled. More, more gray hair.
The pace of time is always so fast, but I have grown up, but they are getting old, Li Qi can't help but feel sad thinking about it.
Tang Yaoyang saw Li Qi falling asleep leaning on the seat, so he took a blanket and covered it up.He took out the small medicine bottle from his pocket, poured a few pills in the palm of his hand, took the thermos cup and opened it, raised his head and drank all the medicine, put the water cup away, sat next to Li Qi, and closed his eyes against the seat Rest up.
When Li Qi woke up, he felt that the car had stopped. He sat up and looked out the window blankly. This was the place.Then he opened the car door and got out of the car. The old house in front of him was his home. The door was open now, and Li Qi walked in directly.
Seeing Li Qi coming in, Tang Yaoyang smiled and asked, "Did you just wake up and how did you sleep?"
"Fortunately, what's going on in the room?" A strand of Li Qi's hair curled up, making him look even younger.
"I asked Xiao Wang and the others to clean it up"
Li Qi followed Tang Yaoyang into the house and saw two tall men tidying up in an orderly manner, and he had nothing to do with him, so he said to Tang Yaoyang, "Let's go to my mother's grave first."
"Okay" Tang Yaoyang walked along beside Li Qi, watching Li Qi greet people he met on the road, and occasionally looked at him curiously.
Li Qi asked Tang Yaoyang to wait for him for a while, and Li Qi went to a shop not far away to buy some paper money and incense sticks and came back.
"Okay, let's go"
In winter, the mountain is bare everywhere, with dead branches and leaves all over the ground. The two walked along the path to the back mountain, and saw several graves piled up between the mountains from a distance.
Tang Yaoyang stood in front of the grave, Li Qi put the incense sticks in front of the grave, and lit the paper money, the fire gradually became smaller, and when the wind blew, the ashes swirled away with the wind.
Now that Tang Yaoyang was in front of Li Qingyun's grave again, his heart still hurt unspeakably. Although many years had passed, there was still no change, as if a brand was deeply engraved on his heart. "Qingyun, although I don't know how long my body can last, I will try my best to arrange our children's future, don't worry," Tang Yaoyang said silently in his heart.
-----------------------
"Hey, Xiaowen." Li Xun called his girlfriend when he was free.
"Well, how about going back to the army, are you busy?" Wang Jingwen had just finished her graduation procedures, and she hadn't had a good rest for a few days. Just as she was about to take a break, she received a call from Li Xun.To be honest, she doesn't have much affection for Li Xun, only met a few times, and it is unrealistic to say that she has deep affection.I just think that when I get older, I see the separation and reunion of friends and sisters around me, and I want to find a suitable person to be with, so that my family will no longer worry.
"Fortunately, I have applied for a vacation. I will go back during the Chinese New Year. Then I will go to your house to book our business. What do you think?" In Li Xun's opinion, Wang Jingwen fits all the requirements of his wife, without dazzling looks , The speech is also very nice, and you can feel the fragrance of books when you get close.
"Okay, I'll pack my luggage and go home in two days. I'll tell my parents." Wang Jingwen thinks that Li Xun has no bad habits, and after meeting and chatting a few times, he has a good personality, although he doesn't talk much. , but it also makes people feel safe.If she gets married, she is willing from the bottom of her heart, not to mention that his family has a simple population, and his younger brother Li Qi is also a college student, and he doesn't seem to be unreasonable, so this is enough.
"Be careful on the road," Li Xun did not forget to remind him, and hung up the phone with a smile.
The author has something to say: When I recommend a song "Tears" for the first time, I will feel the urge to cry. I don't know if you will.
Chapter 17
The cold winter wind blows over, making people shiver with cold. Chaoyang City belongs to the north of the south, but it is dry and cold in winter, and it is raining lightly again today.People who are packed tightly and want to go out stretch out their hands, and the palms look like snow, but they still fear the cold and run around for their lives.
Li Xun got off the train with a big bag on his back, not afraid of the rain or snow, he ran out directly, took a taxi, got into the car and said to the driver, "Master, we are at Chaoyang Hotel."
The driver saw that Li Xun was wearing a camouflage uniform, obviously a soldier, and chatted with Li Xun while driving the car: "Hey, your army is also going home for the New Year holiday."
Li Xun nodded, "Yes."
"Then where are you from?" The driver should be more talkative, more enthusiastic and familiar.
"My hometown is Li Shu Village." Li Xun took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the front: "Here is one, master."
The driver took the cigarette with a smile and put it on his ear, "My hometown is in Ninghe Village, not far from Lishu Village."
Li Xunhe wrote: "It's not far away."
The Chaoyang Hotel was not far away. Li Xun got out of the car, said goodbye to the driver, and entered the hotel.
A waiter stepped forward and asked politely: "Hi sir, what can I do for you?"
"Oh, I'm looking for someone, I'll make a call first." Li Xun took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Qi's number, and said, "Xiao Qi, which room are you in? Yes, I'm in the lobby on the first floor, okay."
Li Xun said to the waiter: "My brother will be down in a while, so I don't need to trouble you."
Li Xun stood in the lobby for only 2 minutes, and Li Qi came out of the elevator. Seeing brother standing there, he walked over quickly and shouted "brother" with a smile.
Li Xun also laughed, until Xiaoqi stood in front of him, he reached out and patted Li Qi's shoulder: "You seem to have grown taller again, kid."
Li Qi scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother, let's go up first." There were already people looking this way.
"Brother, I'll help you carry the bag." Li Qi wanted to get the bag, but was blocked by Li Xun. Li Xun carried it by himself: "Your hand is for holding the pen. I can't bear to let you do the work. Let's go." Xun put his arms around Li Qi's shoulders and walked towards the elevator.
Li Qi felt warm in his heart, but he also suppressed the gushing emotions in his heart. He could only tell himself that he couldn't let his brother down, he couldn't
After entering the elevator, Li Xun let go of his arms and stopped holding Li Qi. He just asked, "Just tell me the room number. Why are you still running down?"
"I'll come pick you up bro"
The elevator went up quickly, and then reached the top floor. Except for Tang Yaoyang's presidential suite, the top floor was the VIP room.
Li Qi led his brother in, "Brother, should you take a bath first or eat first?"
"I've had breakfast on the train, let's take a shower first." Li Xun opened his bag, pulled out his clothes, and said to Li Qi with a smile, "I'll take a shower first, and I'll tell you when I come out later." thing"
Li Qi nodded, looking at his back as he walked towards the bathroom, he kept thinking about what he was going to say, it must have something to do with Wang Jingwen.
Li Xun came out of the shower and sat down on the sofa opposite Li Qi, "Accompany me to go shopping at Xiaowen's house tomorrow."
"I, it's not good for me to go." As expected, it was all related to Wang Jingwen, but he didn't want to go, but he was afraid that his brother would be angry.
Li Xun raised his eyebrows: "Why is it not good, we are all the closest family members, your brother and my life-long event, whoever you don't go to."
Li Qi forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." Li Qi remembered that his brother and his father had never met, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's time for my father to get up for breakfast. I want to meet you, do you want to sleep first, or come with me to meet him now"
Li Xun thought for a while, anyway, he didn't feel sleepy now, so he went to see Xiao Qi's father first, then nodded and said, "Then go and have a look."
Tang Yaoyang woke up a long time ago. Before Zhao Nan called to report some company affairs, Zhao Nan, as Mr. Tang's secretary for many years, also praised Charles for his work on the phone.Tang Yaoyang listened to Zhao Nan's words with an indifferent expression. He already knew Charles's talent, so don't just lure wolves into the house.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Li Qi came, Tang Yaoyang finally saw Li Xun, he smiled and looked at Li Xun.He is taller than 1.8 meters, with broad shoulders, bright eyebrows, and sharp eyes. It can be seen at a glance that he has been in the army for many years.
Li Xun walked over with a smile and held out his hand: "Hi, I'm Li Xun, Xiao Qi's brother."
Tang Yaoyang also smiled, and held Li Xun's hand back: "Hi, I'm Xiaoqi's father." He let go and said with a smile: "Sit down."
Li Xun was not polite, and sat down directly, and Li Qi also sat down beside him. Li Xun smiled and glanced at Li Qi, and then said to Tang Yaoyang: "I have always wanted to see you, but I have no time."
"Me too" Tang Yaoyang covered his mouth and coughed, saw Li Qi's concerned eyes, smiled and said: "I'm fine." Then he said to Li Xun: "You have been in the army for many years, what are your plans in the future?"
"I came back this time to confirm the marriage, and Xiao Qi's matter," Li Xun replied calmly.
"You have also reached the age to start a family. Don't worry about Xiaoqi. I am just a child like him. I am very happy to find him back. I will take good care of him." Tang Yaoyang assured Li Xun with a smile.
Li Xun nodded, "I believe in this, because Xiaoqi has been very good since he was a child, and I treat him as my own child in my heart. I will feel relieved to have you take care of him in the future."
Li Qi sat quietly on the side, listening to his brother and father talking seriously, until the waiter came to deliver breakfast.
Tang Yaoyang asked Li Xun to have something to eat with him, but Li Xun refused because he had already had breakfast, Li Xun said to Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi, you can eat with your dad, eat slowly, I'll go back to sleep first."
Li Qi handed the room card to Li Xun and said, "Brother, go to sleep for a while."
Li Xun took the room card, nodded and smiled at Tang Yaoyang, and left.
Li Qi ate very quietly, Tang Yaoyang didn't talk much, and both of them had small appetites, so breakfast ended quietly.
Tang Yaoyang personally brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Li Qi. Tang Yaoyang said warmly, "Xiao Qi, how about you try this tea?"
Li Qi picked it up and took a sip. In fact, he didn't know how to taste tea, but he didn't think it was bitter after drinking it. Instead, there was a fragrance lingering between his lips and teeth. He nodded and smiled, "It's delicious."
Tang Yaoyang smiled, "The Chinese New Year is only ten days away, I will be here with you this year"
"Okay, so is your company okay?" Li Qi thought that he had been spending the Chinese New Year at Zhao's house before, and his brother didn't come back every year.Dad was able to put down work and celebrate the New Year with him, and I was really touched. It's different to have relatives by my side.
"Charles is taking care of the company, and Zhao Nan is helping me, so that I can take a break." Tang Yaoyang smiled mischievously and winked at Li Qi.
"Well, you still need to pay more attention to your body." Li Qi looked at Tang Yaoyang's pale face, it seemed that he was lacking in energy and blood, and his appetite was pitifully small each time. During the breakfast just now, he noticed that Tang Yaoyang only drank a small bowl The glutinous rice porridge and the steamed stuffed bun were put down after only two bites.
Tang Yaoyang nodded and agreed, "Well, I'm fine, what do you need to prepare for your brother's wedding?"
Li Qi shook his head, "I don't know, my brother asked me to accompany him to buy gifts tomorrow, and to visit his father-in-law's house."
"Your brother is getting married. I'll give him a new house. I don't mean anything else, just to thank him for bringing you up." Tang Yaoyang silently observed Li Qi's expression after speaking.
Li Qi froze for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll tell him, I know what you mean, Dad, thank you"
Tang Yaoyang leaned over to Li Qi's side, and patted Li Qi's shoulder: "Why are you being polite to Dad, I will arrange for you to study abroad after the New Year, go to America with me."
"Okay" Anyway, my brother's marriage is about to be decided, so what's the point of staying here? It's better to leave with my dad and stay away from my brother, maybe the longing in my heart will gradually fade away.
When Li Qi returned to the room, he saw Li Xun lying on the bed and fell asleep, so he walked over lightly and sat down beside the bed.Quietly looking at my brother's sleeping face, listening to the shallow breathing, I put my hand on Li Xun's chest, and the heartbeat was transmitted through the palm of my hand.
The other hand gently held Li Xun's hand, and it was also the same hands. After his grandma passed away, he stood alone at the door with tears on his face, and his brother who was rushed back by the wind and dust stretched out his arms to hug him.At that time, my elder brother looked very tall. Although he has grown up now, his elder brother still has a tall image in his heart.
Looking at Li Xun's eyes full of affection, he murmured to himself, "Brother, if I were braver, would there be a different result?" But I'm more afraid that you hate me, and if you don't see me, maybe Brother can't do it either.I really don't want you to get married, but I have delayed you for so many years, since she is what you want, then I will wish you a happy family in the future.

The sky was getting brighter, and the sun hid in the clouds like a child and could not come out.
Li Xun woke up very early, and it was only 05:30 when he saw the time. He got up early in the army habitually, and couldn't fall asleep after waking up.
Zheng Xiang, who was sleeping on Li Qi's side, stretched out one leg, pressing on Li Xun's body. Li Xun, who was between a boy and a man, gently moved Li Qi's leg away before getting off his shoes and stretching. waist.
There was a gym downstairs, and Li Xun went there to exercise for a while. He didn't go back to his room until he was sweating all over his body.
Li Qi also woke up. He just finished washing and was changing clothes. As soon as Brother Meng entered the room, he could only suppress his embarrassment and get dressed quickly. "Brother, where have you been?"
"I went to the gym downstairs, I'm sweating all over my body, I'm going to take a shower first." Li Xun took off his underwear, only wearing a boxer briefs, and went into the bathroom.
"Brother, hurry up, I'll go to my dad's and wait for you to have breakfast together." Li Qi ran away after finishing speaking. He was still blushing and heartbeating from the scene he saw just now. He just simply took off his clothes, a half naked body, They were all so alluring to him.
When Li Qi went to Tang Yaoyang's place, a bodyguard at the door said respectfully, "Young Master Li, good morning."
Li Qi was stunned for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable, and came back to his senses: "Good morning, have you eaten yet?"
The bodyguard probably didn't expect Li Qi to ask him this question, with a smile on his face: "I'm done eating, the two of us will take turns to eat."
Li Qi nodded and went straight into the room. Tang Yaoyang was sitting on a soft chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. When he saw Xiao Qi coming to greet him, he said, "Come and sit for a while."
Li Qi sat on another sofa next to him, "You wake up very early every day"
"Yeah, I feel less when I get older, it's nice to see you all still young." Tang Yaoyang took a cup of stomach warming tea, took two sips and then put it down, "Your brother is going to discuss marriage today."
"Well, after dinner, I'll go shopping with my brother first, and then I'll go to the woman's house." Li Qi sat there indifferently, with the melancholy that couldn't be erased from his eyes.
"I don't know the process of marriage, but if parents of both parties need to go, I can replace it." Tang Yaoyang said with a casual smile. He has never been married, and his marriage column will always be unmarried. sad
"Okay." After Li Qi finished speaking, Li Xun pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that the two were still talking, he asked, "Breakfast hasn't been delivered yet?"
Tang Yaoyang glanced at his watch, it was only 5 minutes before seven o'clock "Come on, sit down for a while"
As soon as Li Xun sat down, the waiter who brought breakfast came in pushing the dining cart. After the waiter bowed and said hello, he began to put the breakfast on the table before pushing the dining cart out.
Li Xun was a little hungry. When he ate four buns, the other two hadn't finished the first one. "You guys are so slow to eat, I'm already the fourth one."
Tang Yaoyang continued to fight with a bowl of porridge with a smile. He was not surprised by Li Xun's big appetite. It seemed that everyone who came out of the barracks had a big appetite, and he knew Li Xun's appetite yesterday.
Li Qi poured a glass of water and put it in front of Li Xun: "Brother, eat slowly, don't choke."
"It's okay, let's go after dinner, I'm afraid it will snow today, so I'll go early after buying something." Li Xun finished his porridge after a few sips.
Li Qi nodded, and put a slice of egg pancake on Tang Yaoyang's plate opposite.Tang Yaoyang's appetite is not bad today, he ate a small bowl of porridge, looked at his son's cake, and ate it with a smile.
After eating, Li Qi stood up and said, "Eat slowly, my brother and I will leave first, call me on the phone if you need something."
Tang Yaoyang smiled and said, "Well, you guys go."
When going downstairs, Li Qi asked: "Where shall we go shopping?"
"There is a Lintai shopping mall 200 meters away, let's go there." The Lintai shopping mall has been open for many years, and Li Xun has only been to this shopping mall more often.
The two took the elevator down to the first floor, and the cold wind hit their faces as soon as they left the door, and Li Qi was shocked instantly.
Li Xun said with concern: "Go up and put on some more clothes."
Li Qi raised his collar, and after getting used to it a little, he said, "It's okay, I just came out and felt cold, let's go."
The two walked this road, and when they turned to cross the road, Li Xun grabbed
