A simple and plain sentence, but it is like a greeting that has been separated by several years, and I can't help but wet my eyes with tears.

Listening to Liu Lijun's words, Fang Yao Fangle couldn't help but have slightly red eyes, looking at the appearance of the two, Liu Lijun said, "Hurry up and wash your hands, ready to eat." ”

The two quickly ran to the bathroom, washed their hands, walked out, and looked at a fish on the table, a bowl of braised pork, a bowl of bean tip soup, a plate of spicy chicken, three dishes and one soup, this meal, as if a century had passed.

On the day Liu Lijun was arrested, it was only a month apart, but during this time, Fang Yao Fangle was in Jera's small black house, but he no longer thought about how to rescue Liu Lijun all the time.

Looking at the table full of warm meals, a not a sumptuous dinner, the three of them sat together, peacefully around the table, chattering about homely things, counting each other, and then laughing.

Smiling and smiling, Fang Le's tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, the appearance of the family, it was so good!

When Liu Lijun saw it, he immediately took out a tissue and slowly wiped the corners of Fang Le's eyes. "What day it is, do you know?"

Fang Yao shook his head, and Fang Le said with a slight cry, "The day Dad was discharged from the hospital." ”

Liu Lijun shook his head, with a slight loss in his eyes, "Today is the day when you have been my son for a whole year. ”

Fang Yao looked at Fang Le, Fang Le also looked at Fang Yao, the two didn't speak, but they seemed to understand something in an instant. "Dad, look at my brain, I've been in the barracks for a long time, and I've forgotten such important days. ”

Fang Le's face showed a hint of embarrassment, "Uh... Dad, I forgot the time to open a hot pot restaurant. ”

Listening to the words of the two, Liu Lijun knew that they were doing their own business, and they couldn't be blamed for it. It's a dad who doesn't remember it, it's good if they remember! Think about it, leave the table and walk in the direction of the refrigerator.

As soon as Liu Lijun left, Fang Yao raised his eyebrows, "What happened today?"

"I went to the cake shop, and before I bought the cake, I tried all the cakes and whispered something in my mouth, but I didn't understand it too much. ”

"It's been more than a month since our official year, why does Dad still think of today as a whole year?"

"Is it that all the bad memories from before have been sealed by yourself?"

"How?"

That is, once people encounter something they don't want to remember, they will naturally block this memory and forget it temporarily. ”

"So, he forgot all the things in the abyss before?"

"Well, so to speak!"

Fang Yao secretly pinched his palms, "The group of people in the Abyss, it's not a pity to die, after finding the news to contact other Abyss organizations, go and uproot all the beasts in the City of Elysium." ”

"Brother, in fact, Dad, it's good to forget, after all, the memory there is too painful, and Dad can close that memory, maybe it's a good thing for him. ”

Fang Yao nodded, took the chopsticks and continued to eat the dishes on the table.

Liu Lijun took out the cake, held one in one hand, and walked towards the two. With a smile on his face, he said as he walked. "I don't know your birthdays, but the day you come home with me, it's your birthday, so today, it's your birthday, come on, let's sing happy birthday songs together to celebrate your birthdays." ”

"So, today, you pulled out the needle just to celebrate my birthday with Lele?"

Liu Lijun seemed to have done something remarkable, with a smug smile on his face, "Yes, are there any surprises?"

"Did you know that your life is more important than that?"

"Aren't I fine, quick, let's light a candle and make a wish!"

"I'm in good health, but what if something happens?"

"Isn't that all right?"

"Yes, it's fine now, but, what if, what if!"

"Ayao, I know, you care about Dad, but why doesn't Dad love you, only this once, not an example, we should happily carry out this birthday party today, this time to save some face for Dad, you look at Lele, he is drooling greedily, let's put candles, make wishes, eat cakes, okay?"

Fang Le glanced at Liu Lijun, "Hmph! But the crystal clear liquid still betrayed Fang Le. Fang Le hurriedly took a sip, wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, and smiled.

Fang Yao knew that it was inappropriate to say these things at this time, although there was Lele, Liu Lijun would not have too many problems, but if Fang Yao and Fang Le were not there, then what should I do? Be careful, it's always right.

Liu Lijun slowly untied the rope that tied the cake, and suddenly clapped his hands, as if he remembered something. But the cake had already been taken out of the cake box by Fang Le.

Seeing that a small bite of cake was missing, the three of them looked at each other, Liu Lijun touched his head in embarrassment, and Fang Yao and Fang Le covered their mouths and smiled.

"Didn't you want to see if it was a taste you liked, so I tried it. ”

"Dad, is it a flavor we like, you can just ask the clerk to give you the flavor we like, why don't you still taste it while taking a bite, is there a gap in the cake?" Fang Yao pointed to another cake that had not been opened.

Liu Lijun sneered. "yes, why didn't you think of it before?"

Although Ah Yao and Lele usually eat what they do and what they eat, they still pay attention to it, and the fruits prefer sweeter fruits such as cantaloupe and longan, while the other does not eat much fruits, and only eats some apples and pears. So to buy cakes, he also specially picked two kinds of sweeter flavors and lighter flavors.

Fang Yao Fang Le seemed to know Liu Lijun's intentions, and after making a joke, he took the candle and plugged it in.

Liu Lijun hurriedly ran over, turned off the lights, and looked at the firelight that flickered and jumped on the faces of the two, and the song "Happy Birthday" blurted out very naturally.

Fang Yao, Fang Le in the real sense, for the first time, someone accompanied them for their birthday.

A heart that has been frozen for many years, now there is warmth, it turns out, people's hearts will melt, I used to watch the family sitting at home, around the dining table, eating the leftovers on the table, laughing at him in my heart, the family is poor, laughing at him, I can't afford a decent dinner. But at this moment, he understood that a family, at the table, it doesn't matter what you eat, what is important is a family, a neat family.

Fang Yao couldn't stand such a scene in his heart, and a warm current filled his heart, as if it was going to melt him into a puddle of corpse water. Listening to Liu Lijun's approaching singing, Fang Yao's whole body trembled, and he quickly ran towards the door.

As he ran, there was still a trace of white smoke on his forehead, and he looked away from a distance, as if his hair was lit by a candle.

Looking at Fang Yao, who suddenly rushed out, Liu Lijun felt a little guilty, "Did you fail to do a good job?"

Lele wanted to wait for the singing to end, blow out the candles, and run away with the cake in his arms, not giving it to his brother, but this unexpected thing happened.

Liu Lijun hurriedly turned on the light and looked at Lele ashamedly. whispered, "Is Dad doing something bad?"

Fang Le shook his head, smiled at Liu Lijun, and chased towards Fang Yao's breath.

Under a flickering street lamp, Fang Yao sat there, sobbing quietly, and Fang Le slowly stepped forward. I wanted to comfort Fang Yao, but when Fang Yao heard the footsteps, he suddenly turned his head, and Fang Le, who stepped forward, was still startled when he saw Fang Yao turn into a zombie.

"Brother, I said why did you run out all of a sudden, it turns out that this is the reason!"

The sobbing continued, but not a single tear flowed, and his eyes were crimson, as if they were about to drip blood.

Fang Le stepped forward, sat down beside Fang Yao, and gently patted Fang Yao's back. Raising his head, he accompanied Fang Yao to look at the dark night sky.

"Did I run out of the blue, scaring my dad?"

"Well, there is a point, he still feels that he has not done a good job, and he is very guilty. ”

"An emotion that I don't know what to feel suddenly rushed into my chest, and I was so uncomfortable all of a sudden, and I was afraid that I couldn't control it, so I ......"

"Brother, I also understand your feelings, the kind of family care, care, and wholeheartedness, my heart is not comfortable, but it is very warm. I have been in the crypt for many years, and you and Dad are the only ones who make me feel warm. But sometimes, the warmth comes too unexpectedly, and I'm a little overwhelmed. But Dad, the love for us is sincere. ”

"I just know that he is sincere, which is why I am even more sad. ”

"Aren't we hiding some things from him to better protect him? It's like when you're at the dinner table, brother, you obviously know that there is something wrong with your father's memory, but aren't you also helping your father hide it when you answer, because we care, so we don't want to tell my father the truest thoughts, identities and even races. Because we care!"

Fang Yao's big eyes flashed and said seriously to Fang Yao.

Perhaps, their concealment is also a kind of kindness!

The two sat under the street lamp for a long time, stood up, patted the dust on their pants, and headed home.

Ten minutes, half an hour, an hour, two hours, listening to the sound of someone entering the house, Liu Lijun sat on the sofa and looked up at the door, seeing that Fang Yao and the others were back, he wanted to go up directly, but there was something wrong. He tilted his head in a daze, staring at the two people who came in.

The two entered the door, Fang Yao gently closed the door, changed his shoes, lowered his head, and walked in, "Dad, I'm sorry, because I haven't had a birthday like this for a long time, and I was very sad when your singing sounded before, so I ......."

Liu Lijun flipped down directly from the back of the sofa and hugged Fang Yao Fangle, "In the future, there will be no more long-lost birthdays, in the future, we will celebrate it every year, and if you still think it will be a long time, it will be okay to celebrate it once a month." We will always be a family in the future, and we will ...... in the future."

After a long time, the three of them separated, put on candles, and continued the unfinished songs, unfinished wishes, and unfinished cake battles.
