After we broke up, I still asked about your situation

At night, Tong Shen hid in the bathroom and called the second sister, wanting to find out what the elders in the family said.

His mother actually accepted this matter well. After all, he already knew what kind of virtue he was. The focus was on his father. Although he was not usually treated harshly, his father was more conservative in thinking.

Tong Shen himself was not afraid of being beaten and scolded, but he was worried that Tu Jiazhi would be angered in the past, so he decided to act cautiously. If his father was tough this time, he would wait for a few more years.

Fortunately, the second sister is reliable and comforted him: "Don't worry, I've already talked to Dad. Although he was a little angry at first, he figured it out later. At least he won't let you go in front of Tu Jiazhi." embarrassing."

"That's fine." Tong Shen instructed, "Tell him, when I go back, he can beat or scold me as he pleases, but I beg him to show Tu Jia a good face. Children are sensitive, and then they will secretly feel sad. "

The second sister laughed: "How old is Tu Jiazhi, why are you still calling like a child?"

"He's younger than me anyway." Tong Shen said hilariously, "He's been a child all his life with me."

"Okay." The second sister hesitated to speak for a moment, "Forget it, let's talk about it when I come back."

Early the next morning, Tong Shen took Tu Jiazhi to buy a pair of rings, and accompanied him to choose a bunch of gifts for his family.

The second sister and elder brother won't be able to stay in the country for long, so the two hurriedly got ready and came to the door the next day with their things.

Tong Shen was apprehensive all the way, and he was a little relieved when he saw all four members of his family came to pick him up at the gate when he arrived.

There was still some time before lunch, and Tong's father took the helm himself and took them around the manor in a sightseeing car.

Tong Shen knew that this was the treatment only for distinguished guests. Since he was a child, he could count on one hand the number of times he saw his father driving a sightseeing car to take guests, so he felt that this battle was too grand.

When his father asked Tu Jiazhi to sit alone in the front row, Tong Shen's uneasiness reached its peak.

He was about to tactfully reject this proposal, when he suddenly saw his mother winking at him, and then he was dragged over and sat behind.

"Look at your worthless appearance." The elder brother turned his head and glared at him, "Don't you know that this is a normal process? Didn't your sister-in-law also receive the same treatment when she came here?"

"That's different." Tong Shen retorted in a low voice, "You are married normally, and your sister-in-law is going to give birth to grandchildren for him. You are really distinguished guests. What are we..."

"Come on, I'm still not satisfied." The second sister said, "In front of so many people, are you still afraid that he will be eaten by Dad?"

His mother patted his hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, if your father really intends to do something, he will definitely not talk to him in front of you. Now that he is open and honest, he really accepts it. "

"Is it that easy?" Tong Shen couldn't believe it, "I'm really not at ease if he doesn't beat me up."

Second Sister: "Crap, you can."

"If you had confessed a few years ago, it might not have been so easy." The mother said earnestly, "But you can go so far away for six years because of this person, and your father will have to weigh it no matter how angry he is, otherwise he will I really made you anxious, what should you do if you ran away for another six years? He and I are both old, and I don’t know how many six years we can afford. Can't see them all?"

"Mom!" Tong Shen said anxiously, "Don't say such things!"

"Then let us rest easy and stop worrying. Look at the few you talked about before. What are they? Since you plan to settle down, don't be half-hearted. Find time to call his family over later. Let us be a witness to you, and you two will live in peace and contentment for the rest of your life, don't be a demon."

Then, the mother looked forward and smiled gratifiedly: "I have known this child before. He is a good person, has means, and ability. The most important thing is that he knows how to advance and retreat, and has backbone. I'm satisfied. The only thing your dad and I worry about now is whether he treats you well, after all, someone who is too smart may not be suitable for you."

Tong Shen: "...are you scolding me around the corner?"

With a smile on her face, her mother squeezed his hand noncommittally.

After wandering around for more than two hours, when it was lunch time, Tong's father parked the sightseeing car in front of a pavilion, got off the bus and walked in front with Tu Jiazhi's shoulders, and introduced, "This pavilion was designed by your great-grandfather himself. How about it?" , isn’t it well built? The weather is fine today, so let’s have dinner here.”

"Okay." Tu Jiazhi nodded obediently.

Tong Shen followed closely, and when he heard his father's words, his mood became inexplicably complicated: Why did his great-grandfather become Tu Jiazhi's in just two hours?

Everyone sat down in front of the table. Not long after, the housekeeper brought a group of people over to serve the food. Tong's father hadn't eaten yet, so he picked up a lump of meat for Tu Jiazhi with his serving chopsticks.

"Thank you uncle." Tu Jiazhi quickly took the bowl.

Tong's father glanced at the ring on his hand, and said lightly: "We're both engaged, why don't we know how to change our words?"

"..."

As calm as Tu Jiazhi was, his ears would blush, and he couldn't say "Dad" out of his mouth after holding back for a long time.

After all, his biological father has been dead for many years, and this word has a special meaning to him.

Tong's family had already found out his background. Seeing this, Tong's mother immediately smiled and said, "Okay, old man, it's the first time for the child to come. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Tong's father went down the steps and didn't continue to press people. Anyway, he just said this to let Tong Shen know his attitude, otherwise the quail would be terrified all day long, and his eyes would be annoying.

After dinner, everyone went to play golf for an afternoon. After dinner in the evening, when they returned to the house, Tong Shen was called into the study alone by his parents.

Facing his father with a serious face, he finally let go of his heart that had been hanging for a day.

"Your mother has already told you what should be said, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense." Father Tong took out a long crutch from the cabinet, pointed to the small sofa next to him, "Lie down on it."

Tong Shen subconsciously glanced at his mother, and saw that she was watching her nose, nose, nose, nose, nose, and heart without speaking, and knew that today's beating would not escape no matter what.

Right now, he only cares about one question: "Where are you going?"

"Spanking." Without waiting for my father to speak, my mother said first, "Your father has heavy hands, and the buttocks are too fleshy to be beaten, so just spank."

"..." Tong Shen asked shamefully, "Can you change the place?"

"No!" Mother said with a straight face, "Changing to another place can break your bones! Hurry up and lie on your stomach!"

"..."

Tong Shen had no choice but to kneel obediently and bury his face in the pillow.

"Heh, I haven't used my hands for decades, so today I'm going to exercise my muscles and bones." Tong's father twisted his wrist, holding a cane, and tapped his butt lightly first like a cat.

Tong Shen trembled twice from the knock, thinking that Tu Jiazhi might see the mark at night, his neck turned red with embarrassment.

"Your brother and sister have been beaten since they were young, and you are the only one who has been beaten for the first time in half your life." Father Tong sighed, "If I had known today, your mother and I really shouldn't have indulged you so much back then."

"Stop talking." Tong's mother turned her head unbearably, "If you want to hit me, hit me quickly, and talk nonsense like this."

Tong's father took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and hit him three times quickly, then threw the stick and cursed, "Get out."

Tong Shen hasn't reacted yet: "Is this the end?"

"Oh, my ancestor..." Mother Tong went over and pulled him up, "Let's go."

"No..." Tong Shen looked at his father, "Didn't the ancestor's family law start with ten boards? You only hit three times? My sister endured much more than this."

"Are you so cheap?!" His mother punched him hard on the back.

"The son does not teach the father's fault." Tong's father said, "You get three hits, and the rest should be punished by me."

Tong Shen saw that he really wanted to greet him, so he rushed over and took the crutch away: "What is this for?! Can you afford to struggle with your old arms and legs? If you are really angry, I will let you continue beating!" ! And isn’t it just homosexuality? As for what? In what age are you still practicing feudalism?”

"I didn't hit you for being gay!" Father Tong roared loudly, "I hit you for being unfilial and unrighteous! Irresponsible!"

"..."

Tong Shen was speechless.

"Okay, okay." Tong's mother stroked Tong's father's back, smoothing things over in a gentle tone, "It was discussed before, as long as the fight is over, this matter will be over, and we won't mention the past, ah, from now on Just live a good life——Xiao Shen, do you hear? You have to live a good life in the future, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, since you have made up your mind, don’t let others down. People in their 30s can’t be so weak anymore. You have to learn to take responsibility, you know?"

Tong Shen's eyes instantly felt hot as he took the soft but not the hard.

He wiped his face, kneeled on the ground with a plop and kowtowed to his parents twice, choked his throat and said, "Son, remember."

"Go." Mother said happily, "Come back and visit us when you have time."

Both the eldest brother and the second sister had to catch the early morning flight. After Tong Shen came out of the study, Tu Jiazhi was the only one left in the living room.

Seeing that his eyes were red, Tu Jiazhi immediately got up and looked at him worriedly.

Tong Shen shook his head at him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's stay at home for one more night and leave tomorrow, okay?"

Hearing that the two of them wanted to stay for an extra day, Tong's parents were very happy, even the old housekeeper was overjoyed, and enthusiastically helped them clean up the room.

It is rare for Tong Shen to go home, but his room has always been kept tidy, and the awards he got when he was a child are all framed and hung up.

He brought Tu Jiazhi in, wanting to show off his few trophies, but Tu Jiazhi was not in the mood to listen to this now, so he dragged him straight into the bathroom, and stretched out his hand to untie his trouser waist: "Did you get beaten?"

"It's okay." Tong Shen felt ashamed, pinching the waistband of his trousers to keep him from moving, "It's just two light blows, not as hard as you."

"..."

After two seconds of silence, Tu Jiazhi said, "I didn't hit it."

"Yes yes yes." Tong Shen sneered, "You are caressing, okay?"

Before Tu Jiazhi could answer, he clicked his tongue again: "Thinking about it, you're really too much. My dad hit me, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish three times, and it took a few seconds, and he didn't scold anyone. Unlike you, And beat and scold."

"I didn't scold you, I just praised you for being great."

"Hey, is there someone who is so flattering?" Tong Shen snorted, "It's so embarrassing to say so dirty..."

"Tong Shen." Tu Jiazhi interrupted him unbearably, "Don't seduce me."

"Teasing you." The more he behaved like this, Tong Shen became more energetic, and even threw a wink at him, "Isn't it because you don't dare to mess around here?"

Tu Jiazhi was about to speak when the doorbell suddenly rang outside.

Tong Shen immediately turned serious, grabbed his messy trouser waist and said, "Go and see, it might be my mother."

Tu Jiazhi went out to open the door, and Tong's mother was standing outside.

"His father is serious. I don't know if the skin is broken." Tong's mother stuffed him with a small medicine box, "Please help him look and get some medicine."

"Okay." Tu Jiazhi responded, "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

Back in the house, Tu Jiazhi brought the medicine box in front of Tong Shen as if he was holding a Shangfang sword, and tore off the string around his waist without any explanation: "Here or go to bed?"

"..." Tong Shen swallowed, "I'll do it myself."

"Go to bed and get comfortable."

"..."

Although his father did keep his hand, but in fact the marks are still quite obvious, and Tong Shen has been spoiled since he was a child and his skin is tender, so it is easy to get red after being hit, but after being beaten like this a few times, some places have begun to turn blue.

Sitting next to him, Tu Jiazhi carefully applied medicine to him, his face was so close that he almost kissed him.

Tong Shen felt his fiery breath, and flinched slightly, "You, you stay away from me..."

"What's added to this medicine?" Tu Jiazhi talked about him, "It smells very good."

"I don't know..." Tong Shen awkwardly reached out to lift his forehead, "Stay away!"

Tu Jiazhi put the ointment aside, and took out the instructions from the box.

Tong Shen felt that something was wrong with him, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

"Promoting blood and reducing swelling." Tu Jiazhi rubbed the remaining ointment on his fingertips, and said with a smile, "It's very moisturizing."

"...Tu Jiazhi!" Tong Shen suddenly understood, "Don't mess around! I'm still injured!"

"I'll wait for you." Tu Jiazhi put the ointment back into the box, and said slowly, "Tomorrow, I'll ask my aunt where to buy this medicine, so I can use it later."

"...Get lost!" Tong Shen kicked him, "How shameless!"

Because he was obviously very happy to see his parents, and Tong Shen was still hurt, so Tu Jiazhi was not in a hurry to say goodbye.

The two stayed for a few more days, and by the way, they found a day when Shu Bai was free, and made an appointment for him to meet Tong's parents.

Seeing that Tu Jiazhi's annual leave is coming to an end, Tong Shen's injury has finally healed.

He remembered that Tu Jiazhi had collected the six-year debt from himself before, but he didn't eat much meat during the ten-day annual vacation, so he took the initiative to have a candlelight dinner at home to create an atmosphere, thinking that there were only two days left, and it was still possible To make up for it a little bit, I can't die anyway.

So Tu Jiazhi enthusiastically showed him the box of ointment that had just arrived: "I asked the doctor, and he said that this can be used, and it is better than ordinary products."

Tong Shen: "...you have something wrong."

"It smells good." Tu Jiazhi said, "It smells like wintersweet, which is similar to yours, but stronger."

Tong Shen refused: "I don't have any smell, thank you."

"Yes." Tu Jiazhi pressed him, buried his face in and sniffed his hair, and said in a low voice, "I smelled it many years ago."

"...you fart."

"Before my father passed away, we would occasionally go back to live in the old house." Tu Jiazhi didn't know what to think of, and said slowly with his eyes closed, "The back hill there is full of wintersweet, so the spring water below tastes not only It's sweet and has a bit of winter plum flavor."

Tong Shen was pressed against the scorching hot back, and he squinted his eyes and listened to him as if he was listening to a story.

"I like the smell very much." Tu Jiazhi said, "It's a pity that the mountain land was bought by a developer, and all the wintersweet trees were cut down."

"Since I was a child, the things I like are slowly disappearing, and I can never go back."

His tone was clearly calm, but it made the listener feel sad: "That's why I'm always afraid of losing you, I want to hold you tightly, tie you by my side...but I still lose you..."

"Fortunately, God is merciful, and you are still willing to turn back." Tu Jiazhi said, "Although I still want to tie you by my side, I will try my best to restrain myself, so you...can you give me a promise, brother?"

"Yes." Tong Shen immediately turned around and hugged him, "I will never leave you again, really, I swear."

Tu Jiazhi stared at him: "Say you love me."

"I love you." Tong Shen raised his hand to caress his eyebrows and said solemnly, "I love you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his ring finger go cold, and something tightly wrapped around him: "This is..."

"I've been hiding for six years." Tu Jiazhi looked at him firmly, "You haven't changed, your size is just right."

"I haven't changed..." Tong Shen looked at him for a moment, and suddenly Fu Zhi comprehended what he meant, and said with a smile, "Yes, I haven't changed. I loved you six years ago."

"I love you too." Tu Jiazhi leaned over and kissed his lips reverently, "I love you forever, brother."
