"One serving of scallion oil noodles, and a small bowl of chicken soup, I feel that this little day is too beautiful, and I will never think about it for the rest of my life!"
Ling Shu sighed contentedly and leaned against the back of the chair while supporting his stomach.
Yue Dingtang, who also put down his chopsticks, was much more gentle, sat upright, closed his eyes and rested, as if he was still savoring the delicious food just now.
Ling Shu clicked his tongue twice: "Old Yue, sometimes I really feel that we are not middle school classmates, but elders and juniors."
Yue Dingtang: "Then why didn't I see you calling my father?"
The tea Ling Shu had just entered almost spit out.
"You think beautiful!"
Yue Dingtang quickly picked up the napkin on the table and covered it in front of his face, so that the tea on the opposite side was empty and splashed on the napkin.
"Don't eat or sleep. You were taught this way in the Ling family since you were a child."
Ling Shu coughed twice, and had to drink another sip of tea to suppress his shock.
"You would also say that it was something from when I was a child. If I went out and paid attention to it, the body would have been cold!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yue Dingtang put his index finger on his mouth and made a small gesture, and then he remembered that there were other people at home.
The child who was brought back by them and settled down temporarily was sleeping on the sofa with the quilt in his arms.
Just, why is it so bitter
Does He Youan feel that this child has a rough life and was born with suffering, or does he feel that all living beings are suffering, and there is no exception
The name is really too sad.
"Let's change his name." Ling Shu said, "Miss He knows well, and she must hope he has a fresh start."
The two words, why bother, should have been sealed with the conclusion of this matter.
Yue Dingtang had no objection: "How is your heart?"
Ling Shu did not expect that he would have a case so soon.
It can be seen that the surnamed Yue originally agreed with his opinion, but he refused to say it first, which was really treacherous.
"Which stand, which heart?"
Yue Dingtang said: "Build your morals, build your words, build your heart. Build your heart for the heaven and earth, build your life for the people, follow the sages of the past, and open peace for the prosperous world. Words are the voice of the heart, so build your heart, the He family brothers and sisters are iron bones Seriously, I hope that when he grows up, he can do the same, act with his heart, and live up to his elders."
Ling Shu was stunned for a moment, the name was too big.
"Then why isn't it called Iron Bone?" he said.
Yue Dingtang: …
Ling Shu raised his hands: "Xingxing, you are a great professor, you have the final say, it is called Lixin, He Lixin, it seems to be good, but how to arrange this child, neither of us are married, nor have any experience in raising children. , is it not appropriate to take him in?"
Yue Dingtang had already thought about this question on his way back.
"I have a colleague whose surname is Li, who teaches Chinese. They have been married for many years. They had a daughter under their knees. She fell ill and died three years ago. I'd be happy to."
Ling Shu: "What is he like?"
Yue Dingtang: "Be kind and optimistic, eager to help others, and his wife is the same. He Lixin should be able to rest assured that He Lixin was raised there."
"Then he will stay at my house for a few days. My sister has always wanted a child, and she will be very happy to see him."
After Ling Shu finished speaking, he yawned.
"I'm a little sleepy after I've eaten. I've been tired for a day. Let me take a nap at your place first. You can call me after half an hour, so as not to go back and be told by my sister that I can't sleep for a long time..."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and he was already a little dazed.
Yue Dingtang pushed him.
"Go to sleep on the sofa."
Ling Shu commanded one action at a time, got up and sleepwalked like floating to the sofa, sat down next to He Lixin, tilted his head back, and immediately fell unconscious.
He Lixin was awakened by his movement, but he just rubbed his eyes and glanced at them, then closed his eyes and curled up beside Ling Shu and continued to sleep.
This child is very sensitive to the outside world, and he has difficulty speaking. Since he left with them, he has only answered Ling Shu a few times, and now he is willing to sleep peacefully beside Ling Shu.
However, in terms of Ling Shu's prosperous peach blossom luck, being able to coax the child into submission doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Uncle Zhou came over with the blanket in his arms, lightly walked, pointed to Ling Shu, looked at Yue Dingtang again, and asked silently.
Yue Ding Tang nodded, and Uncle Zhou went over with the quilt and covered the two of them.
Two heads, one big and one small, were snuggled up and exposed outside the blanket, inexplicably harmonious.
Uncle Zhou suddenly came over to Yueding don Juan and smiled.
Yue Ding Tang was inexplicable.
Uncle Zhou said with a smile: "Fourth Young Master, I saw you laugh, so I laughed along."
Did you laugh
Yue Dingtang touched the corner of his mouth and felt an arc that was not obvious.
Uncle Zhou whispered: "Since Xiaoling came to our house, it has been a lot more lively here, and you have laughed a lot. You should have laughed so much, don't be like the eldest and second young masters, who have a sullen face all day."
Yue Dingtang pouted: "He can always cause trouble, I have a headache before it's too late, even if I laugh, it's a wry smile."
Dead ducks are hard-mouthed and duplicitous. Uncle Zhou said silently.
The Yue Dingtang he knew might still look like a child of the same age in middle school, but after graduating and going abroad, Uncle Zhou didn't see him for a long time. During the winter and summer vacations for several years, Yue Dingtang never came back. When they met again, he found that Yue Dingtang had suddenly become a stable and mature young man.
It was only when facing Ling Shu that he showed his anger, helpless smile, and even a tongue-in-cheek reaction.
Uncle Zhou sometimes thinks that as the three brothers of the Yue family grow up and start their own businesses, they drift further and further apart. , sometimes clear, sometimes blurry. On a certain day before Yue Dingtang returned home, Uncle Zhou also saw the eldest Yue Dingqin and the eldest Yue Dingjin quarrel fiercely.
That is to say, after Yue Dingtang returned to teach in China, the second child, Yue Dingjin, would occasionally come back for a meal, but there was almost no family reunion and laughing. The husband is on an overseas mission.
Until Ling Shu appeared.
Seeing him, Uncle Zhou was like seeing again a corner of the lively and harmonious Yue family in the past. All the nostalgia for the past has nowhere to put, but he finds solace in Ling Shu.
Uncle Zhou knew that Yue Dingtang didn't say anything, but he must have a special treatment for Ling Shu in his heart.
What's more, he knew that the fourth young master's curiosity was no less than Xiao Ling's, otherwise he wouldn't hit it off and cause trouble everywhere.
Ling Shu slept directly until dawn.
At dawn, he woke up in bed and found that He Lixin, who was beside him, had woken up long ago.
The more Ling Shu looked at it, the more he felt that not only his eyebrows, but even the way he looked at people had the charm of He Youan.
It's a pity that He Youan smiled like a soft wave, but this child doesn't know how long it will take to laugh.
"Why, do you still remember your name? Your aunt said she usually calls you Ah Ku."
After returning, Ling Shu talked to him a lot. Although the child gradually became less afraid of life, there was very little response.
This time is no exception.
Ling Shu didn't wait for him to respond, and continued: "Why is this name bad? We don't want you to suffer in the future, so we chose a new name for you, He Lixin. Before you go to your new home and meet your new father and new mother, please follow me first. However, I have a sister who likes children very much, especially if you are so beautiful and obedient, come back and stay with me for a few days, okay?"
He Lixin still didn't make a sound.
Ling Shu touched his head.
"Your biological father and your aunt are all righteous people. They didn't mean to abandon you, but there are many helpless people in this world. They hope to use their weak strength to change the world."
He Lixin seemed to understand, but he hummed softly.
When Yue Dingtang walked in, Ling Shu had already dressed the child and walked out of the house with him in his arms.
"Don't stay for two more days?"
Uncle Zhou was a little reluctant.
No matter how much the child does not like to talk, after all, there are many people in the family, so it will be more lively.
Ling Shu chuckled: "It's not that I don't want to live, it's that my sister is back. I have to go back and report, or else the skin will be ripped off! What is the reason for her, why shouldn't she be too violent!"
Yue Ding Tang glanced at him sideways.
It turned out to be the idea of a shield, how can I say that this person suddenly became active when he returned home.
When he was going to school, he asked the driver to take Lingshu home by the way.
From a distance, the two saw Ling Yao sweeping snow at the door of the house.
There was another snowfall last night, not too small.
There is a thick layer of accumulation everywhere, and the sun does not come out. There are already children playing snowball fights in the distance. For adults, it means travel is inconvenient. In some places, even the car can't drive, so the two have to get down. Walk.
Ling Yao raised his head and saw Ling Shu coming back, his eyebrows were about to burst, but his eyes fell on the child who was holding Ling Shu's hand.
"Where is this child from?"
Ling Shu said: "Sister, I came back to take the blame."
When Ling Yao had seen him so honest, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
"What's the crime? Where did this child come from?"
As soon as Ling Shu heard this, he knew that his sister had misunderstood.
"Sister, now that the child is so old, I can't hide it. He is my illegitimate child."
Yue Dingtang: …
Ling Yao's almond eyes widened in an instant, looked at him, and then at He Lixin. After a long time, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Ling Shu.
"Aren't you kidding me?"
Ling Yao couldn't believe it, and looked at Yue Dingtang again.
"Dingtang, you said, is it just true? Where did he come from as a child? He's still so old!"
Yue Dingtang smiled: "he lied to you, this is our friend's child."
Ling Yao grabbed the broom in his hand without saying a word and slammed it towards Ling Shu.
The latter is also agile, and runs away with his legs open. This posture and shape are obviously cultivated under long-term pressure.
"I make you skin! I make you skin!"
The two were chasing each other in the yard, Ling Shu accidentally slipped forward, and was slapped on the buttocks by Ling Yao's broom tail, and immediately screamed.
"Sister, take it easy, I was wrong! I was wrong! Isn't this a little joke with you!"
"Is this a joke! I almost got sick from you!"
After finally waiting for Ling Yao to catch up and get tired of fighting, Ling Shu carefully came over with Xiao Xiao.
"His name is He Lixin. He came to our house for a few days, maybe ten or twenty days."
Ling Yao frowned: "Where are his parents?"
Ling Shu: "I can't find it for now. No, let's settle in our house first."
Ling Yao: "You're having a bad heart attack again? Last year, you brought back an old man from the countryside, saying that he was homeless, but he was corrupted, and he spent a lot of money to send him away. "
Ling Shu felt that it was embarrassing to be criticized in front of Yue Dingtang, so he hurriedly helped people into the door and interrupted him for excuses.
"Let's talk in the house, let's talk in the house!"
However, Ling Yao didn't have the posture to stop for half a minute.
"Okay now, first the old man, and then the child, do you want to wait for the beggar gang to blackmail the door, and then gather a whole family of children and grandchildren?!"
Yue Ding Tang Ren was amused.
Ling Shu glared at him fiercely.
"Old Yue, Chief Yue, Brother Dingtang, please help me testify, it's really not this time!"
However, Ling Yao didn't like this: "Ding Tang, don't help him decorate, he does this kind of thing all day long. When others are police officers, they can always make a lot of money. Let me tell you, this child, our family can't afford it, don't throw him to me again, you can be your own boss, and I will take care of it!"
She got angrier as she spoke, and raised her voice.
He Lixin seemed to be frightened and hid behind Ling Shu and did not dare to come out.
Ling Shu had to tell half the truth.
"This child is really the child of an old friend of ours. His parents are gone, and the remaining aunt, our friend, also passed away at an early age. No one in the family takes care of him. We are planning to find a family for him. Adopted by a reliable family, we will take care of him until then."
Ling Yao was suspicious and looked at Yue Dingtang.
"Is what he said true?"
Ling Shu was so angry that he turned his head, thinking who is your own younger brother, you should believe what he said, and I said you would not believe it.
Fortunately, the surname Yue has a little conscience.
"Yes, this friend has a good relationship with us. Before his death, he specially entrusted the child to us and asked us to help him find a good family. I have already been looking for it. Ling Shu said that you like children before taking him. Come here, if it is inconvenient, let him live in the Yue family first."
Ling Yao turned his anger into joy: "I didn't say it earlier, if it was your friend's child, I would naturally want to help. This child is also pitiful. He lost his parents at a young age, but his eyebrows and eyes are good-looking."
She blamed Ling Shu again: "Let you be so skinny at first, you should scare the children."
Ling Shu felt wronged: "You don't believe me when I say it!"
Ling Yao: "That's natural. I don't believe a single word that comes out of your mouth. Fortunately, Dingtang is here, otherwise the misunderstanding will be big today."
Ling Shu felt that he was favored over the other, and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
"Just be partial to him, and one day he will sell him and help him count the money!"
Ling Yao didn't hesitate: "That's better than being sold by you!"
Ling Shu: …
Yue Ding Tang felt that if he didn't go with the hair again, Ling Shu might die of anger on the spot.
But watching Ling Shu being so angry was another interesting little fun.
