Standing at the gate, Ye Ying swallowed a mouthful of saliva, here, she hasn't been back for a long time!

If she could, she hoped that she would never have to come back here again for the rest of her life, but when she thought of Ye Xiao's wish, Ye Ying's heart swelled with sourness.

She sniffed and mustered up the courage to step inside.

As soon as the elevator door opened, a familiar figure suddenly appeared, "Dad, Dad!" The voice behind it suddenly became much quieter.

Ye Ying exclaimed in surprise, she glanced at it, the other party was carrying a vegetable basket, and she should be going out to the vegetable market.

Although it is no longer popular to use vegetable baskets, Father Ye still maintains his previous habits. Ye Ying clearly remembers that when she was a child, as long as the other party went out with this basket, she could always find her favorite sugar gourd inside when she came back.

"You, are you going out?"

When Father Ye saw his daughter, he was also stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he replied in a dumb voice: "Hmm." ”

Other than that, he didn't know what to say. For this daughter, Ye's father felt guilty in his heart, but when he thought of Ye Xiao's death and the relationship between his sister and brother over the years, he felt more uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that the other party was not very sensible.

Ye Ying opened her mouth, and she didn't know what she should say next. After all, she has not been in contact with them since she came to the house after the divorce and left.

Holding back her desire to leave here, she plunged headlong into the elevator. Just as the elevator door was about to close, an arm suddenly reached in.

Ye Ying's eyes widened in surprise and stared straight ahead. Soon Father Ye's head squeezed in, a few strands of gray hair were blown up by the wind, and a smile appeared on his face that had been full of vicissitudes, "Is it okay to stay and eat at noon?"

"Dad!"

Ye Ying's nose was sour, and her tears were almost uncontrollable, she quickly nodded after a pause.

Seeing that the other party agreed, the smile on Father Ye's face suddenly stretched, and then he left here with a satisfied face.

In the elevator, Ye Ying's heart was beating so hard that she wasn't sure how her mother would react when she saw her, and what she would do if she was kicked out of the door.

Thinking about it, the elevator door had already opened, and she took a deep breath and walked straight out.

Standing at the door of the house, Ye Ying's mind was full of thoughts about what to say after the meeting, if the other party insisted on not letting her in, then she would ......

She made up her mind that no matter how Ye Mu scolded her, scolded her, or even beat her, she would hold on.

When he was stunned, the door in front of him was suddenly opened, and the two looked at each other unexpectedly.

Ye Mu: "......"

Ye Ying: "......"

Time paused for a moment, and the two stood facing each other, with a hint of embarrassment in the air.

In the end, it was Ye Ying who spoke first and shouted: "Mom!"

Mother?

Ye Mu hadn't heard this word from the other party's mouth for a long time, she was stunned for a moment, and the tantrum that she had prepared was suddenly gone, she opened her mouth, and finally said in a dumb voice: "You sit at home for a while, and I'll order a cake." ”

"I've booked it and I'll get it in at eleven o'clock. Ye Ying replied first.

That's right, today is Ye Xiao's birthday. Ye Ying remembered very well that she had just entered the third year of junior high school, and not long after the start of school, Ye Xiao was born. On the same day, today's day is much warmer than that day.

Hearing this, Ye Mu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and turned back, and after a while, she saw that the other party did not come in, and stuck out her head again, "Come in." ”

Ye Ying instantly felt flattered, and hurriedly said "eh", after entering the door, she opened the shoe cabinet at the door, glanced at her eyes, her nose was sore, and tears fell crackling.

There is a pair of pink rabbit cotton and linen slippers inside, yes, she just likes pink, even if she is a lot older, she has long passed the innocent age of a little girl, but she still likes pink.

Especially with a rabbit pattern, so outsiders don't know that her current bed is pink, and the head of the bed is a big rabbit ear.

When she took out the slippers from inside, she realized that they were brand new and had the characteristic smell of new shoes. Ye Ying sniffed, quickly wiped away her tears, changed her shoes and walked in.

Mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had another fight at the bar last time, so they didn't know what to say.

In order to break the embarrassing atmosphere, Ye Ying said in advance: "I'll go to Ye and my brother's room to have a look." ”

She has always called each other's names, and suddenly changed to "brother" somewhat unaccustomedly, Ye Mu also grasped this information, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded busily, "Well, you go." ”

The room was still the same as it was, Ye Ying just pushed open the door and walked in when she suddenly thought of something, and turned around to ask Ye's mother, but she bumped into the other party secretly hiding on the balcony and making a phone call.

"Dad, the girl is back today, you will remember to buy some shrimp later, she doesn't like to eat millet shrimp, remember to buy a big one." ”

Ye Ying: "......"

She quickly turned back again, gently closed the door and leaned her back against the door, closed her eyes, and felt as uncomfortable as a knife in her heart.

The past flashed through my mind like a movie screen, leaving behind some bad memories. After thinking about it carefully, Ye Ying realized that she had been too careful all along, so she became like this?

Not daring to think further, she took a deep breath and walked over to the desk.

It is not an exaggeration, this is the first time she has come to Ye Xiao's room, and she used to stay at home for a short time, and she would not usually enter this room.

When I passed by the bookcase, I unconsciously stopped, only to find that it was full of trophies and certificates.

She never cared about this "younger brother" before, and she didn't even know when the other party would graduate from elementary school or middle school. It was also at this time that I knew how good Ye Xiao was.

There was a photograph on the desk, and a piece was missing from the corner.

Ye Ying remembered that this was the day she was going to get married, and when she came to the house for dinner, at the strong request of her ex-husband, she asked the neighbor next door to help take a family photo. Ye's father and mother sat in the front, Ye Ying stood in the middle of the back row, Ye Xiao on the right, and the groom on the left.

And in this photo in front of him, the groom was cut out, and I don't know where to throw it.

If you think about it, it seems that this is indeed the only family photo in their family. She never expected that Ye Xiao would actually wash out the photo and put it in a frame.

She reached out and picked up the frame, looking carefully at the person in the photo, the big boy who smiled warmly and sunnyly, is now gone.

Ye Ying knew that Ye Xiao was not a person who liked to laugh, but every time in front of her, the other party was smiling, with a looming pear vortex at the corner of her mouth, and she smiled very brightly.

Thinking like this, she suddenly missed the other party's smile, and kept rubbing Ye Xiao's face with her fingertips, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Why do people always have to wait until they have lost to know that they can't regret it?

Ye Ying pulled over the chair and sat down, there were a lot of Ye Xiao's books and notes on the desk, she pulled out one casually and looked at it......

Outside the door, Father Ye bought vegetables and was just about to enter the door, Mother Ye took the first step to squeeze him out and closed the door, she secretly pulled the other party to the staircase and said in a low voice: "Why is Yingzi here today?"

"Didn't you call her?"

"I didn't!"

To tell the truth, Ye Mu has not forgiven the other party in her heart until now, but after all, it is a piece of meat that fell from her body, and it is false to say that she is not distressed.

She herself didn't understand what had happened over the years, and that their relationship would deteriorate to this point.

As if knowing what the other party was thinking, Father Ye hurriedly took the lead and said, "She finally came back, don't show her face." ”

"When did I show her face? You don't know, that girl has always deliberately been unable to get along with me. Show me every day, if it weren't for ......"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it. If you weren't very biased, would this be the case!" Father Ye couldn't help but count the other party.

Hearing this, Ye Mu was aggrieved and only wanted to shed tears, she shrugged her shoulders, widened her eyes and said: "If others say this, forget it, how can you say such a thing in your mouth, you obviously know that it is not like this." ”

Ye Mu is a little eccentric, but it is a bit too much to put the responsibility on her head completely. In the early years, when she was pregnant with Ye Xiao, she suffered a lot, during which the morning sickness reaction was very large, and the amniotic fluid was not enough, so she was not happy during the whole pregnancy.

Several times I secretly went to the hospital to hang up the fetal protection potion, and at that time the two-child policy was not released, and the family did not pay a fine for this child.

She continued to work after the confinement, originally thinking that Ye Ying happened to be a lot older than Ye Xiao, a teenage girl, who was already precocious, thought that she didn't need to spend any effort on her. She was able to take good care of her brother, but things didn't seem to go the way she thought.

Since Ye Ying had a younger brother, she has been very rebellious. Mother Ye was coarse-minded and didn't understand the sensitive emotions of the little girl, so she once felt that her daughter was unreasonable and couldn't understand them.

Of course, she admitted that she favored her son a little, after all, Ye Xiao came late, although she was not an old child, but when she was pregnant with Ye Xiao, she could be regarded as an elderly mother. This son is not easy to come by, and Ye Xiao has been very sensible and obedient since he was a child, so she naturally prefers it more.

It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother, and the family naturally treats Ye Ying as an adult. There is a lot less usual care and love, and by the time I realize it, it's too late.

In fact, the couple's feelings for their two children are the same, at most, they feel a little distressed about their younger son. And Ye Ying always feels that she can take good care of herself, so she doesn't pay much attention to it.

Father Ye said in a deep voice and patted the other party's shoulder, "Let's go, let's go in, don't you have to celebrate Ye Xiao's birthday at noon." Have you ordered the cake?"

"The tassels are ordered. ”

"Who?"

Father Ye was a little surprised, this was the first time that the other party took the initiative to buy Ye Xiao a birthday cake. Over the years, every time Ye Xiao celebrated his birthday, the other party didn't even celebrate his birthday together, let alone buy a cake.

Even a sentence of "happy birthday" was never said, for this reason, Ye Xiao never said anything, but Father Ye knew that he was very disappointed in his heart, and he loved his sister very much.
