In the evening, when Ye Fei returned to her house with Xiaofeng in his arms, he found Chen Chang sitting there as before, staring at the door, stunned, and didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly realized that perhaps for Chen Chang, his greatest pain did not come from the physical, but from the spirit, like a frog at the bottom of a well, he could only see a piece of the sky outside the door, and in the past two years, he didn't know how he had survived.

"You're back. When they appeared in Chen Chang's sight, he immediately shouted, his face beaming.

"Dad. Xiaofeng, who was put down by Ye Fei, snorted softly, then walked over, opened the bag in his hand, took out a piece of chicken wings from it and handed it to Chen Chang's mouth, "Dad, what did you see the baby brought you? It's your favorite food, Grandma Liang has warmed up the baby, you can eat it quickly!" Chen Chang was stunned. "Dad, why don't you eat it, don't you like it?" the little guy was a little disappointed.

Chen Chang reacted at this time, hurriedly took a bite, and swallowed it. "Dad, is it delicious?" Xiao Jia looked a little nervous. "Well, it's delicious. Chen Chang actually didn't taste anything at all, because he didn't chew it and swallowed it directly, but he ate the taste of happiness. Hearing his father's affirmative answer, the little one finally smiled.

Then he handed the bag in his hand to Chen Chang, "Then you can eat quickly, I'll wash my face and feet, I'm going to sleep with my father tonight." Chen Chang took it casually, Xiaofeng turned around and went to the corner to find a plastic basin, then took it to the side of the thermos, shook it gently, found that there was hot water in it, and immediately looked happy, directly opened the cap of the water bottle, and poured the thermos half as high as her into the basin, so frightened that Ye Fei hurriedly took three steps and made two steps to step forward and help her hold the thermos.

"Be careful, be careful of hot water scalding yourself. Ye Fei looked very nervous, a fire, a water, an electricity, it is absolutely forbidden for children to touch it at home, and if it is not good, it will hurt himself.

"Uncle Ye, I'm smart, if I spread my legs, it won't burn me. Xiaofeng said happily, looking extremely proud. Before Ye Fei could speak, she continued, "It's a little painful to burn, but I'm very brave, I'm not afraid, it won't hurt in a few days." ”

Ye Fei was silent when he heard this, and looked up at Chen Chang, only to see that his eyes were red, and he mechanically gnawed on the chicken wings in his hand, swallowing silently. "Let's come on, Uncle Ye is very good at washing children's faces and feet, and my sister is Uncle Ye who helps her wash it every day!" Ye Fei rubbed her somewhat yellow hair.

Ye Fei helped her wash up, and then helped her change into her little pajamas, and then put it next to Chen Chang, now Xiaofeng's clothes are all new, they are all bought by Lin Yue, all styles and seasons, and the old clothes before have been thrown away. Xiaofeng was tired today, curled up under his father's arm, and soon fell asleep, sleeping soundly, with a slight snort.

"Did you go to Yecheng today?" Seeing that she was asleep, Chen Chang raised the bag in his hand to him. The big KFC logo on the bag shows the detailed address in Coconut City.

"Yue'er went back to the capital today, and we sent her together. Ye Fei glanced at the sleeping Xiaofeng, on weekdays, she would tell her father what happened that day, but today she went to bed early, in addition to being tired, she is probably also sad, right?

"Is Xiao Yue from the capital, or do you work over there?" Chen Chang asked casually, Ye Fei had never told him about Lin Yue's situation.

Ye Fei saw that it was still early and there was nothing to do, so he told him about the situation between himself and Lin Yue. "I didn't expect you to be so angry, but when I was in school, I could see that I liked the little girl. Chen Chang teased. "By the way, I heard that you found a girlfriend in high school, what's the matter, did you break up later?" Chen Chang continued. "Damn, you know that? I always thought that few people knew. ”

Chen Chang went to work after graduating from junior high school, but he didn't expect to know about it, it seems that it is not surprising that Ye's father and Ye's mother know, but he was still sneaky at the beginning, and he thought he was doing it very secretively. "Okay, let's not talk about me, by the way, how did you catch up with Xiaofeng's mother back then, and get married so early?"

Chen Chang and Ye Fei are the same year, and they are both 25 years old this year. Because the school they went to was a five-year system, Ye Fei was only 17 years old when he went to college, and Xiaofeng was six years old this year, so it is estimated that Chen Chao would just be an adult when he got married, and he might even get married to his son. Speaking of Xiaofeng's mother, Chen Chang showed a look of nostalgia on his face, and slowly opened the conversation. It turned out that Xiaofeng's mother's name was Lin Yu, originally from Shawei Village, Shawei Village is a very ordinary coastal village in Hangzhou, Lin Yu's father was helping people fish, and he never came back when Lin Yu was five years old, at that time there was a sister who was two years younger than her, her mother took care of two children alone, and her life was very hard, and she couldn't stand it after taking care of her for two years, so she ran away with someone.

Lin Yu took her sister to spend a year at home, she couldn't live anymore, she heard that her mother went to Coconut City with someone, so she took her five-year-old sister all the way north. The two children don't know how much they have walked, how many sins they have suffered, they drink raw water on the side of the road when they are thirsty, eat wild fruits or beg for food when they are hungry, and they are hungry for a meal, and their sister Lin Xue, who is not in good health, finally can't bear it, and she is sick, Lin Yu can't help it, and finally Lin Yu entrusted Lin Xue, who was only six years old, to a kind old couple, and continued to go on the road to find her mother by herself, she was still very naïve at that time, and wanted to find her mother, and then take her sister back, and the family could live happily together again. After a thousand hardships, Lin Yu came to Yecheng, only to find that the city was too big, completely different from the small village she lived in, the vast sea of people, and trying to find someone was simply looking for a needle in a haystack, so she wandered the streets and alleys of Yecheng all day long. Later, she was adopted by a kind old grandmother, the old grandmother not only adopted her alone, but also more than a dozen street children, during the day she let these children do some handicrafts to subsidize the family, and taught them to read and write at night, life is quite passable, at least full of food and clothing. But within a few years, the government said that the old grandmother was illegally employed as child labor and illegal occupation, so the house was bulldozed and built into a commercial building, and the street children could only continue to wander.

At that time, Lin Yu was already a teenager, although she didn't go to school, but she still knew a lot of words, and thanks to the good education of the old grandmother, she didn't go to do some leather and meat business, just do some manual work within her ability, or go to the street to beg, as she got older, she worked as a small worker at the construction site, and it was at that time that she met Chen Chang. It is estimated that it is the happiest day in Lin Yu's short life, she has a husband who loves her, a lovely daughter, her mother-in-law and father-in-law are good to her, and her life is prosperous.

When Chen Chang spoke, he seemed to be telling someone else's story, there was no joy or sadness, his expression was very flat, but when he finished speaking, he looked directly at the darkness outside the door, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Ye Fei, who never smokes, doesn't know why, but at this time he especially wants to have one.

"Lin Yu, did she find her mother later?"

"Who knows, it seems to have been found, but I have never heard her talk about it, every time I mention it, she looks very irritable, and then I won't say it, after all, she is the one who lives with me, why do you care so much?" Chen Chang retracted his gaze from outside the door and said.

"What about her sister Lin Xue, did you find her later?"

On the one hand, she was too young, and her memory was blurred for a long time, on the other hand, Hangzhou has developed too fast in recent years, and there are very few dilapidated villages in memory, which is also a heart disease of my wife, I always feel sorry for my sister, and I shouldn't have left her alone. After Chen Chang finished speaking, he glanced at his daughter curled up under his armpit, like a little kitten, and said with a smile, "Sometimes I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid that Xiaofeng will wander alone like her mother." Sometimes I want to die, because not dying will only drag her down, don't you think people are strange? Isn't it funny?"

But Ye Fei couldn't laugh, and after thinking about it, he said: "You take care of your illness first, and then find a way to fulfill your wife's wishes, now that the Internet is so developed, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone." When Chen Chang heard this, he didn't make a sound, but nodded silently.

"By the way, do you have anything to pack, I'll ask the ambulance to take you to the hospital tomorrow, and I'll take everything I need to bring with me then. Ye Fei changed the topic and stopped talking about these sad things. "I don't have anything to do, just a few torn clothes, just clean them up. ”

Chen Chang's eyes fell on a suitcase in the corner, which was covered with a shabby piece of clothing, as if it had not been opened for a long time.

"Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll pick up Xiaofeng again tomorrow morning. Ye Fei stood up and said.

"Then I'm bothering you. Chen Chang didn't say anything more, there was enough trouble, and he didn't need to care about this trivial matter anymore.
