The next day, the sky was clear.

A beam of sunlight shone into the room early through the cracks in the curtains, reflecting on the white walls.

Sun Yanshi didn't close his eyes all night, and turned his head to look at the watch beside his pillow. It was still early, but Lang Song got up an hour ago and was busy getting out of the stall.

He was hesitating whether to get up or not, when the door was slightly pushed open, and Langyue, with her disheveled hair, looked around.

Sun Yanshi waved at her: "Come here."

Langyue "thumped" ran to the bed and climbed up the ladder. Sun Yanshi stretched out her upper body and hugged her onto the bed.

One big and one small lay upright, Langyue didn't wear a cochlear external device, and Sun Yanshi didn't make a sound.

After a while, Langyue turned sideways and buried her face in Sun Yanshi's neck, crying softly, "Daddy."

The heart constricted suddenly, and the soreness was unbearable.Sun Yanshi breathed out toward the ceiling, embraced Lang Yue, and stroked her back with warm palms.

He didn't sleep all night, and his mind was in a mess. What he cared about most was that the time was too short, and he was afraid that Lang Yue would not be able to accept it for a while.But looking at the current situation, Lang Yue should have known about it a long time ago.

In fact, he should have noticed it earlier, Lang Yue has always been obedient, but these days she has become uncharacteristically self-willed.He refuses to get up in the morning, leans on his shoulders at the gate of the kindergarten and refuses to enter the kindergarten, and clings to him all the time when he returns home.At night, Mingming was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, but he still held the fairy tale book and pestered him to tell stories.

It turned out that these abnormal behaviors were not capricious, but her reluctance.

Langyue's calmness was beyond Sun Yanzhi's expectation. After thinking about it, she realized that it was not surprising at all. After the death of their parents, the siblings probably moved "houses" many times, and Langyue might have gotten used to it.

Thinking of this, Sun Yanshi felt mixed feelings of guilt and worry.Langyue is only five years old, she is so sensible and empathetic, she has to endure hardship when she grows up.

This cute little girl filled a blank in his life and gave him the honor to experience the role of "father". Although he has many shortcomings, he is slowly working hard, and he really likes it , Love this little girl, regard her as her own daughter, and hate to part with her.

He was conflicted in his heart and didn't know what to do.If he keeps the brothers and sisters, he will feel sorry for Lang Song, and Lang Song may not be willing to send them away, but he can't let Lang Yue go.

Langyue seemed to feel the surging emotions inside Sun Yanshi, and slowly raised her head, showing a small face with a bright smile, and patted Sun Yanshi's heart with her little hand as if to comfort her.

Sun Yanshi grabbed that little hand, held it in his hand, and figured it out in a moment.The two just moved out to live, and it wasn't a life-or-death separation. He could still visit Langyue in the kindergarten and rehabilitation center.

After getting out of the horns, he felt much better. Sun Yanshi sat up with Langyue in his arms, and gently touched her forehead: "Let's go, let's have breakfast."

After washing and dressing, the two went downstairs, didn't enter the kitchen, and went straight to the alley.

Lang Song is busy at the entrance of the alley. A few days ago, Houzi told him that he also wanted to set up an early stall at the entrance of the factory near his home. He couldn’t take the pancake pan, so he gave it to Houzi. Today is the last day for him to set up a stall. , working harder than ever before, he didn't even notice that Sun Yanshi and Lang Yue were approaching, it was only when Lang Yue tugged on his sweater that he realized.

Lang Song took a quick look at Sun Yanshi, called "Brother", then lowered his head and was busy. There were still a few customers waiting for pancakes in front of the stall.He didn't wear a coat, and the sweater was rolled up to the cuffs, revealing a strong arm.

Sun Yanshi stared at the busy arms, and said rather childishly: "Yueyue and I also want to eat pancakes."

"Okay." Lang Song replied, "I'll make it for you right away."

After a while, those guests left with pancakes one after another.Lang Song scooped up the batter, spread a small pancake the size of a bowl for Lang Yue, made another for Sun Yanshi, added two eggs, and filled the middle with sauces and side dishes.

One big and one small held the hot pancakes and took a bite at the same time. Bewitched by the heat and aroma, they narrowed their eyes tacitly.

Lang Song looked at them tenderly, the reluctance in his eyes was too strong to melt away.

The batter had bottomed out, and Lang Song began to clean up the odds and ends. When everything was in order, he walked to Uncle Bing's booth, took out an unopened pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed it over, saying, "Uncle, I'm moving out tomorrow, and I won't be here any longer." This is a stall, so you can buy less soy milk tomorrow."

Uncle Bing's subordinates paused for a moment, but looked up at Sun Yanshi. Seeing that the other party was only engrossed in eating cakes, he looked back and coughed lightly: "If you want to eat stone cakes in the future, come here for a walk. As long as you can move ,I am here."

"Okay." Lang Song smiled and put the cigarette on the corner of the chopping board.

The three of them walked into the alley slowly and returned home.

Lang Song squatted in the courtyard and carefully wiped the pancake griddle, as if he was cleaning some famous treasure.To him, this raft earned him and Langyue's living expenses for him, and it was indeed a treasure.

After cleaning the griddle meticulously, Lang Song scrubbed the rag and hung it on the hook, and asked Sun Yanshi aloud, "Brother, are you at home today? The monkey will come to get the griddle this afternoon."

Just as Sun Yanshi stuffed the last bite of pancake into his mouth, there was a pause when he heard the sound, and that mouthful of delicious pancake suddenly became dull.He chewed a few mouthfuls casually, swallowed with difficulty, and replied, "Maybe I have to go out for a while." Then he asked in surprise, "Are you still going to work today?"

"Well, I'm going to work." Listening to Sun Yanshi saying that he was going out, Lang Song's eyes froze for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, "Then I'll ask him to come and pick it up at night."

"The rolling door is unlocked, let him get it by himself." Sun Yanshi replied.

Lang Song thought for a while: "Okay."

The three of them rode two small electric donkeys and went out of the alley again, one cart going left and one cart going right as usual.

Sun Yanshi supported the small eDonkey with his feet on the ground, looked back at Lang Song as he disappeared into the traffic, and then slowly looked away.

He took Langyue to the kindergarten, asked Langyue for a day off willfully, left the little e-Donkey at the kindergarten gate, took a taxi to play with Langyue.

The two first went to the Children's Paradise. Because it was a working day and there were not many people, they had a good time.After lunch, I went to the aquarium again. Standing in the sightseeing tunnel, Langyue looked up at the sea turtles and colorful fish swimming overhead, and called "brother", "dad" and "fish" excitedly.

Sun Yanshi was standing not far away, taking pictures of this lovely scene with his mobile phone, with a smile on his face, sore and annoyed in his heart, annoyed that he hadn't brought Langyue out to play more.

After coming out of the aquarium and going to the shopping mall, Langyue sat in the warm room, eating ice cream that her brother would not allow to eat in the cold winter months, her mouth was covered with white milk stains.

Sun Yanshi suddenly remembered that summer night a few months ago, he took Langyue to play in the small square near Lanying Lane, and secretly bought her an ice cream to satisfy her cravings. A circle of dark chocolate.That cute appearance melts people's hearts.

Sun Yanzhi smiled, and instead of roughly wiping Lang Yue's mouth with his T-shirt as last time, he took a wet wipe from the paper box and wiped off the milk stains for her meticulously. The appearance of a loving father.

Tired of playing and full of food, Sun Yanshi bought some more clothes for Lang Yue before heading back home.Arriving at the men's clothing section on the first floor, he stopped, and saw a motorcycle jacket padded jacket worn by a model through the transparent glass window—very cool, suitable for young people, suitable for Long Song.

After a short pause, he led Langyue into the store and bought the dress.

It was already sunset when we returned to Lanying Lane, and the orange-red sunset dyed half of the sky red.

It took less than 5 minutes for Sun Yanshi to enter the door, and Lang Song followed suit, and there were freshly bought vegetables on the back seat of the small eDonkey.

"Get off work?" Sun Yanshi knew it in his heart, but asked, "Why is it so early today?"

Lang Song untied the canvas bag containing the vegetables, and replied, "I'm on leave. Let's cook for ourselves tonight."

His tone was normal, but both of them knew that this was a breakup meal.

Sun Yanshi got up: "Okay, I'll help."

Lang Yue was playing with soybeans in the small courtyard, Sun Yanshi was sitting at the door of the kitchen choosing vegetables, and Lang Song was cooking vegetables in the kitchen.

Smoke rose from the small courtyard in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the smell of vegetables wafted halfway across the village. Someone yelled loudly: "Who cooks octopus, I'm so hungry."

Three people and one dog make up a beautiful picture of the world, but only the dog is happy from the heart.

The dining table was unfolded, and the dishes were laid out on the table, with all the colors and colors, but Sun Yanshi couldn't taste the taste.However, he still pretended to be overjoyed, and kept extending the chopsticks into each plate, and put down the chopsticks until he got a little sick to his stomach.

After dinner, he told Lang Song that he would take Lang Yue for a walk in the alley to digest.

Lang Song wiped off the water on his hands: "Brother, wait for me, I'll go too."

The three of them walked back and forth twice along the dark alley, Langyue couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep on Sun Yanshi's shoulder, and they went home.

After entering the room, Sun Yanshi gave Lang Song the handbag containing the clothes.

Lang Song was slightly startled, and said awkwardly: "Brother, I didn't prepare a gift for you."

Sun Yanshi laughed and snorted: "It's not a gift, if you think it suits you, buy it, take it."

Lang Song took the bag and said "thank you" softly.

The sky was bright and clear during the day, but in the dead of night there was a sudden strong wind.Sun Yanshi was the first to take a shower and go to bed. He lay flat and opened his eyes to listen to the wind all night. When he recovered, it was already dawn, and Lang Song got up lightly.

He turned around slowly, turned his face to the wall and continued to pretend to be asleep, listening to the sound of Lang Song dressing and washing and then going to Lang Yue's room to pack things.He didn't say a word, and didn't have the idea of ​​getting up to help. He didn't have to get up until Lang Song started to move things downstairs.

Langyue stood in the yard, wearing the light yellow down jacket she bought yesterday, her fair face was surrounded by a fur collar, like a doll.She heard footsteps and looked up to see Sun Yanshi standing on the stairs. In an instant, tears gushed out like beads with a broken thread, and she ran towards Sun Yanshi sobbing.

Sun Yanshi hurried downstairs, picked up Langyue and hugged her tightly.

Lang Song took a look, his eyes hurt, he gritted his teeth and carried the two cardboard boxes on his shoulders, and said in a muffled voice, "The car is here, I'll move the things to the alley first."

Sun Yanshi didn't respond, his Adam's apple trembled so badly that he couldn't make a sound.He gently wiped the tears off Lang Yue's face with his fingertips, but the tears kept rolling down from the sockets of his eyes, and he couldn't wipe them clean no matter what.The little girl's unbearable sobs made him heartbroken and heartbroken, and he buried his red eyes in Langyue's neck.

Sun Yanshi coaxed Lang Yue, hugged her and sat at the door of the store. The two cuddled together, turning a blind eye to Lang Song's busyness, trying to fight against the passage of time by standing by and watching.

With the help of my friends, I quickly loaded all the luggage onto the small pickup truck at the entrance of the alley.Lang Song walked into the alley with heavy steps, each step was as painful and difficult as stepping on a nail board, but he knew that only by walking forward, Sun Yanshi could move forward without burden, he bit his Ya Guan walked forward step by step as if nothing had happened, and finally walked in front of Sun Yanshi.

"Yueyue," he stretched out his hand towards Langyue, "Let's go."

Langyue Shuilingling's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and when she heard the word "go", her calm emotions surged again, her eyes were filled with tears, and her hands instinctively grabbed Sun Yanshi's shoulders.

Sun Yanshi patted her on the back and said softly, "Baby, have you forgotten what I just told you?"

Langyue escaped for a moment, then slowly raised her head, called out "Daddy" in a trembling cry, kissed Sun Yanshi, and then rushed towards Langsong reluctantly.

Lang Song rolled his sore Adam's apple, and said hoarsely, "Brother, let's go."

Sun Yanshi looked at Lang Song without blinking: "Take care of yourself and Yueyue." After a long pause, he added, "This will always be your home, and you are welcome to come back anytime."

"En." Lang Song nodded with difficulty, "Brother, take care."

Sun Yanshi stood in place leaning against the wall, watching Lang Song walk towards the entrance of the alley step by step, watching the figure get smaller and smaller.He suddenly remembered the same scene a few months ago. He stood at the door and looked at the brothers and sisters who had gone far away. He gritted his teeth and chased after him with his slippers against the scorching sun. Then he said, "My vacant room is rented to you."

He sowed a little sympathy and reaped two family affections.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Soybean's cry brought back Sun Yan's slack mind. He lowered his eyes and saw the right foot he stepped out, and hurriedly took it back.

Huang Dou looked at the entrance of the alley, then looked up at Sun Yanshi, turned around in a hurry, and yelled at Sun Yanshi with a little resentment, as if to say, "Why are you still standing, why don't you chase after?"Seeing that Sun Yanshi was still unmoved, he struggled to look back and forth twice, and then ran out.

Sun Yanshi looked at it with folded arms, neither barking nor obstructing, he could only serve dog food, and Lang Song could mix delicious dog rice, so Huang Dou probably wanted to follow Lang Song even more.

The fluffy dog's tail disappeared from sight, Sun Yanshi lowered his eyes and retracted his gaze, and turned his head to see Mrs. Zhang standing at the door of his house.

Since the fall, Mrs. Zhang has become much quieter and much older.She leaned on the wall, stared at the alley with cloudy eyes, and murmured: "Gone, all gone, all gone..."

Sun Yanzhi sighed softly: "Yes, we're all gone." It seemed to be in agreement, or talking to himself.

He turned and entered the door, walked slowly into the counter and sat down, resting his arms on the edge of the counter, resting his head on it listlessly, and buried his face in the crook of his arms.

After a while, there was a soft and light kicking sound in the room, the sound of a dog's paws stepping on the ground.Then, familiar footsteps sounded.

Sun Yanshi raised his head suddenly and saw Lang Song who had gone and returned.

"What's the matter?" After a moment of daze, he asked, "Did you forget something?"

Lang Song nodded and shook his head, walked into the counter and stood in front of Sun Yanshi, and asked, "Brother, can I give you a hug?"

Sun Yanshi stood up awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said "OK".

Lang Song took a step forward, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and hugged Sun Yanshi restrainedly.

The two men's chests were pressed against each other lightly. Although they were separated by thick winter clothes, Sun Yanshi felt Lang Song's fiery body temperature, violent heartbeat, and slightly trembling lips on his temples.He didn't dodge, didn't dodge, and stretched out his hand to loosely wrap his arms around the opponent's waist.

The moment Lang Song let go of his hand and turned around, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab something, but at the moment he was about to grab it, he timidly withdrew his hand.

When he was young, he had childish courage, but now he has only mature cowardice.
