life and joy

When my mother said she was going to get married for the fifth time, He Huan was coming home from school, put her schoolbag on the sofa, and asked, is it the husband who sent us home that day?

"Huh? Hmm! Yes." The mother watched him, rubbing her hands together uneasily, waiting for him to throw a tantrum like most single-parent children and slam the door away.But He Huan didn't, he just smiled lightly and said, he is quite reliable, I have no objection.

There was even a feeling of relief during the speech.

He Huan lived with his parents for the first eight years after his birth. After his parents divorced, he followed his mother on the long road to find his stepfather.Unlike most single-parent children, he has always been very open about this matter, as long as that person treats his mother well.You have to be nice to your mother.

After obtaining He Huan's consent, the always vigorous and resolute mother took him into marriage in a hurry.It wasn't until he was on the way to the wedding that he heard that the man who was about to become his stepfather was the son of the richest man in the city.

It was autumn, the air conditioner had just been turned on, the car was still cold, and He Huan's face was pale.

"not comfortable?"

The mother sitting on the side couldn't hide her worry on her face, even covering up the joy of the newlyweds.

He Huan looked down at his red body, and then looked back at his mother, whose appearance and temperament belonged to Shangcheng, who was even more well-dressed today. He exhaled silently, then forced a smile, and said, this is considered to be with the rich man. Let's get married, even if we are a second marriage, we shouldn't be so hasty.

My mother touched his forehead and found that the temperature was normal, then withdrew her hand and said disapprovingly, what a rich man, he is a cook, of course he has nothing to say about his cooking skills, but he is a stingy man, and has nothing to do with a rich man.

He Huan nodded slightly and did not refute, but he knew it was not true.Just from the eight Bugattis that were picked up.It's not a top luxury car, but it certainly won't lose face as the richest man.

Leaving aside his status as the son of a wealthy family, that man was really kind to his mother.Just because the mother said she wanted to sit with the child, she closed the car door and sat in the back.

After arriving, Yao Yu walked quickly to the front car and opened the door. He was also the bride who helped He Huan down first and then went to help him.

He Huan withdrew his hand calmly, jokingly said, Uncle, you have misplaced the emphasis.

Yao Yu took out the red envelope and insisted on arguing with his stepson for a title, and then his mother stepped forward and punched the man in the chest, pulling him inside.He Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed.

He didn't say much just because he was afraid of embarrassing his mother, but that didn't mean he didn't have his own ideas.

That year, He Huan was 13 years old.With the mother wandering to a new roof.

Walking into the church, the guest seats were all empty, only the pastor stood on the platform and saw them coming in, nodding his head in a distant salute.

Then there was the clichéd but touching wedding speech, the exchange of rings, and He Huan stood at the bottom of the steps and rubbed his hands that were about to become numb from the cold while admiring the pious scene.

At some point, two men in black came in from the side door, walking quickly, not so much like guests, but more like they came to smash the scene.

He Huan was hesitating whether to risk his life to guard his mother's wedding ceremony when he saw the person who came to the steps and nodded slightly to the person on the steps.

He Huan: ...

Although this wedding is very different, since it's here to bless, it's not good to be so aggressive.

After the visitor came in, he sat down straight away, and didn't even share it with He Huan from the corner of his eye.

He Huan: ...

Although today's wedding was only attended by the main character, and they didn't even prepare a wedding invitation, but the visitor actually sat down in such a way after the ceremony started, it must be considered uninvited.With his brain working quickly, He Huan found an identity that might fit the image of this person from the limited information he knew.

Presumably, he was the younger brother of his stepfather.

Looking at the man in black and his own in bright red, He Huan couldn't help but smile.Inexplicably, a few elements called embarrassment floated out of the tense atmosphere.

The man in the chair paused visibly, then looked up at him, just looked, without saying a word.

Jiang He's eyes twitched as he stood aside, looking at He Huan with a respectful and fearless look.He Huan stood there in embarrassment. He felt that stretching his neck was a knife, and shrinking his neck was still a knife. He simply took a deep breath and sat next to the man, with a just right smile on his face. He said, hello, I am the bride's oil bottle.

Silence, a long silence, just when everyone thought the conversation was over before it even started, a sentence suddenly came to my ears: I am half of the groom's family.

"Half of..." He Huan, who had a full score in Chinese since he was a child, managed to grasp the point, and one of them bald before stopping the car, "The other half?"

"opponent."

As far as this is concerned, He Huan consciously said too much and stopped talking. Like all high-sounding adults, he sat upright with a blessing smile and watched the ceremony end.

Unknowingly when the sky began to rain, it turned into sleet after a while, hitting the face with pain.He Huan picked up his mobile phone to prepare to take pictures, but found that after the lens was filtered, the rain became smaller for no reason. Even if someone saw this scene through the lens, they probably couldn't understand his mood at the moment.

Human sorrows and joys are not interlinked.

He Huan smiled and put the phone away.

When they left, the snow suddenly grew bigger, and Yao Qi walked in the front, and when he pushed the door, he instinctively turned his head to hide.

He Huan took off his only normal scarf and wrapped it around Yao Qi's neck, who was wearing thin clothes, and said, anyway, I look like a mascot in red and green, so let's just be a mascot.

Jiang He admired him even more, with an expression of bowing his head to the big brother and handing him tea.

Yao Qi looked at him and said thank you lightly.

That year, Yao Qi was 26 years old, and it was the first time that he was forcibly accosted by a strange kid, and it was also the first time that he saw morning light in someone's eyes.Split the dark clouds and illuminate the light of heaven and earth.

The wedding happened to be on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. After a hectic lunch at noon, He Huan took a short break, and in the evening He Huan was dragged to the Yao family's old house—a place he had never heard of or set foot in.

He saw with his own eyes his stepfather calmly driving a Xiali into the crowd of luxury cars, seeing him dressed casually but taking his bride to chat with the guests, ushering in the demeanor of the eldest son.

Everyone was in a hurry, and their steps were in a hurry. He Huan ran in small steps to keep up with the rhythm.

When I was looking left and right and walking forward, I saw a familiar figure not far in front of me, as if I had just seen it.He Huankuai took two steps to catch up and shouted, hi, we meet again.

Yao Qi looked down at him and said flatly, yes.

There was not a single extra word, but the pace slowed down unconsciously, just to the extent that He Huan could keep up.

As the time approached dusk, the sun sank from the buildings. He Huan followed Yao Qi into the hall.

From hearing the news of the marriage two days ago to this moment, He Huan has rehearsed the scenes of getting along with the Yao family countless times in his mind. Now when he stepped into the old house of the Yao family, he realized that he was just worrying too much.

Like all aristocratic families, the Yao family has complex connections but indifferent relationships. The only thing that is different from other families is that the Yao family does not hide their indifference at all. set.When they met each other, they only nodded slightly as a greeting.

After entering the hall, Yao Qi walked through the crowd and took his people to find a place to sit down, as if the noise of the crowd had nothing to do with him.

He Huan sat by the side and flirted with Jiang He for a long time, digesting it in his mind for a long time, and found that he didn't know what the other party was talking about, and then he had no choice but to give up.

Bored and tentative, he turned around and asked Yao Qi, is it not good for us to do this?Don't you really need to say hello?

Yao Qi looked back at him, then fell silent.

He always felt that the child in front of him had a sense of disobedience because of his sensibility beyond his age. On the surface, he was enthusiastic and well-behaved, but his defense and malice were more hidden.

Jiang He on the side jumped out in time to save the scene and said, kid, how much did you pass in the last exam?

He Huan: ...

"Are there any good-looking girls in the class? The most important thing in school is puppy love. You must seize the opportunity or you will regret it in the future."

He Huan: ...

Is it really okay to talk like this in front of the boss?

"It's not easy for Auntie Li Zhouquan to do it alone, you go and help her." Yao Qi glanced at Jiang He and raised his chin towards the back of the door.

"Okay, Mr. Yao." Jiang He said wearily.He has been conscientious and conscientious all the time, why is he always disliked by his boss...why exactly...

After the banquet was over, my mother remembered that she had brought a child, and she staggered over to sit down, not forgetting to care about He Huan's condition, and asked, Xiao Huan, are you still used to it?

He Huan sighed silently, then helped his already slightly drunk mother back to the room.As a result, Yuanjia Luzhai happened to meet Jiang He who had finished his work.Seeing him approaching Jiang He blurted out, you are not three years old, are you sure you want to sleep with the newlyweds?

He Huan stared at him, his face changed several times in an instant.

Yao Yu reached out to slap Jiang He on the head without seeing where he came, but Jiang He stepped forward five meters away, nodded and said, "Young Master."

"It still looks good when it's serious, um, not bad." Yao Yu patted him on the shoulder with a look of great admiration.Jiang He stood aside, not daring to speak out, and could only stare at the ground. Today's carpet is really artistic...

Maybe it was because they were laughing too loudly, Yao Qi didn't know when he noticed this, and shouted from a distance, brother.

Yao Yu looked back at him, and responded lightly, yes.

As talkative as he is, as enthusiastic as him, there is only this short syllable response to his brother's greetings from beginning to end.

In fact, what was missing between them was more than just a few words of pleasantries.When the two brothers met for the second time when they were newlyweds, they didn't even say a word of blessing or greeting from the beginning to the end.

The setting sun outside the window is rose red, and the lights inside the window are bright, and the setting sun can't wake up the dreamer.
