"Is this the address of your home?" Xu Jingyan pinched out the folds of the express delivery list, and was no longer as calm as Fang Cai.

Bai Xiao knocked the two sets of clothes he bought for his grandmother into the courier bag, thinking that he had written it wrong, and reported the address of Liyang's hometown again, and looked at Xu Jingyan in confusion: "Did I write it wrong?" ”

Seeing that Xu Jingyan was holding the list and not handing it to him, the courier asked politely: "Sir, are you optimistic?" ”

Xu Jingyan lowered his head, stared at the delicate font, stared at the address, and a crazy thought was about to break out of the cocoon.

That year, Bai Ningxuan bought three padded jackets for her family in the capital, and he accompanied her to the postal service to send packages, she said: "My handwriting is not good-looking, come on!" ”

Bai Ningxuan is an honor student in the Academy of Fine Arts, but she writes a 'childish' hand, she handed the pen to him, standing beside her and reporting the address of her home, even after so many years, when he saw it again, he recognized it at a glance, Bai Xiao's mailing address was exactly the same as the address he wrote down one by one!

He suddenly remembered that time, he met Bai Xiao in the car to Liyang, and she said: "I have lived with my grandparents since I was a child. ”

He heard that Yu Zhengdong's wife, Su Manrong, took her daughter abroad after her husband passed away, and she has not returned for more than 20 years......

That time he invited Bai Xiao to dinner, and she specially told the waiter not to put garlic in the dish.

In the primary school auditorium, she helped the children play the violin, without even having to follow the score.

It was a very ordinary thing, but now that he thinks about it, he only feels heartache.

He recalled that day, Su Manrong was outside the café, she stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "Dead, that child...... He's dead! ”

……

Bai Xiao saw Xu Jingyan's expression in a trance, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, so he couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?" ”

Xu Jingyan heard her voice, slowly came back to his senses, looked up at Bai Xiao, who was looking at him in confusion, holding the list with both hands, and gradually, his eyes turned red.

"......" Bai Xiao didn't know what to call Xu Jingyan appropriately: "If you are uncomfortable, or, sit for a while." ”

Xu Jingyan opened his mouth, but found that his throat was so blocked that he couldn't make a sound, so he just looked at Bai Xiao in a daze and couldn't take his eyes off.

The courier took the list and clothes and left.

Over there, Aunt Li happened to come out with a dinner plate: "Just right, I made a snack, Mr. Xu will eat it together and then leave." ”

Bai Xiao originally thought that Xu Jingyan would refuse, but the fact is that Xu Jingyan stayed and ate Aunt Li's stewed longan egg soup with her.

To be more precise, it was Xu Jingyan who sat opposite and watched her eat.

Bai Xiao felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, took a few bites, wiped his mouth, and raised his eyes to look at Xu Jingyan: "It tastes good, you can eat some too." ”

“…… I'm not hungry. Xu Jingyan wanted to smile at her, but never thought that smiling, one day, would be so difficult.

The landline at home rang, and Bai Xiao picked it up: "Well, okay, let him in." ”

"There's a guest at home?" Xu Jingyan guessed that it should be a call from the security room at the entrance of the community.

Bai Xiao went online a few days ago to book a violin for Yu Jingxi in a musical instrument store, for children, the little guy recently told her that she wanted to learn to play the violin, and she expressed her absolute support. In this society now, which of the children brought out does not have one or two specialties, she also wants Yu Jingxi to master a skill.

Yu Jingxi is getting older, but her temperament is too skinny, and she hopes that learning the piano through guò will make him calmer.

……

Xu Jingyan sat in the living room, watching Bai Xiao slowly walk over while lowering his head and fiddling with the small piano box.

Especially looking at the gentle look on her face, his hands clasped his legs and knees, the backs of his hands, the green tendons burst out, depressed, and it was difficult to breathe.

"Bought it for Jing Xi? Why, he wants to learn the violin? ”

Bai Xiao felt that he was a little tricky in front of the master, so he smiled, his face flushed slightly: "First buy a violin and let him practice his hands." ”

"What about you? At what age did you start learning the piano? Xu Jingyan felt a dry throat, but she longed to know everything about her childhood.

Bai Xiao thought about it for a while: "It's probably six years old, or maybe five and a half years old, I can't remember the specifics." ”

Xu Jingyan had learned about Bai Ningxuan's family before, it was not wealthy, it could only be regarded as an ordinary family, and she lived with her elderly maternal grandparents and grandmother, how could a couple who had lost their labor force afford the cost of their children's violin lessons?

Xu Jingyan looked at her and asked, "When I was a child, would my life be very hard?" ”

Bai Xiao didn't understand why Xu Jingyan suddenly asked like this, thinking of his kind grandmother, Wan'er: "Although it's not rich, it's enough for me." ”

Although she later entered the Pei family, in the years in Liyang, her grandfather and grandmother really hurt her to the bone.

"Then you, have you ever thought about your parents?"

"When you are young and ignorant, you think, but when you grow up, you don't want to." Shirao's understated tone.

"Why don't you want to?"

Bai Xiao looked back at Xu Jingyan's eyes, and said something in his heart: "Since the ending is disappointment, why do you still want to think about it?" I know that in the end I am the only one, so why make myself uncomfortable for the sake of inconsequential people, and I am very satisfied with what I have now, and I don't need more. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Xiao heard the mobile phone ringing, it was the mobile phone she put on the dining table that rang, and she got up and said to Xu Jingyan, "I'll go over and answer the phone." ”

Xu Jingyan watched her leave, he had never felt so uncomfortable in his life, as if a piece of his heart had been ruthlessly stripped away, there was no blood, but it was terrifyingly empty. Bai Ningxuan's letter can make him let go and go away, but it will not make him feel so sad that he has the urge to cry.

……

It was Yu Shaoting's call.

Bai Xiao told Xu Jingyan that he was still there, and Yu Shaoting paused and said, "Then let the sixth uncle stay for dinner." ”

“……”

Bai Xiao didn't want to drive Xu Jingyan away, but at this time, Xu Zhening was still lame in the hospital, and they left someone's father at home to entertain him......

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"What's wrong?" He asked her rhetorically, choking her up and teasing her.

Bai Xiao thought of what Mrs. Yu said at home in the morning, she held her mobile phone and put it to her ear, "You...... Did you go to the hospital to see Xu Zhenning? ”

They didn't answer right away.

Bai Xiao said again: "Mom has already told me, is Xu Zhenning's leg really lame?" ”

"You want me to see her?" After a while, Yu Shaoting spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he added a block to Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao was silent, and on the other end, he said: "You don't need to worry about these things, take care of the baby at home, and I'll go back later." ”

――――――――――

Yu Shaoting finished calling Bai Xiao, and left the company after a while, drove, and went to pick up his son by the way.

When he arrived at the school, he happened to see Yu Jingxi holding a branch, carrying it on his back, chasing around the campus with a group of noisy children, shouting loudly, as if he was playing some game of catching robbers by the police, and when he saw Yu Shaoting frowning at the school gate, Yu Jingxi immediately settled down.

Yu Jingxi hurriedly threw away the branch used to prick people, walked over, and shouted obediently: "Dad." ”

"Get in the car." Yu Shaoting didn't talk nonsense to him, unlike other parents, who picked up the child and kissed the child's face first.

The little guy sighed, pouted and climbed onto the newly bought Range Rover, consciously fastened his seat belt, and turned his little head: "It's the same as the previous one." ”

Yu Jingxi felt that his father should be in a good mood today, otherwise, how could he come to school to pick him up in person?

He rolled his eyes, observed the look on Yu Shaoting's face, and asked tentatively, "Dad, why didn't you let Uncle Xiaoliang pick me up today?" ”

"He went home to accompany his wife to give birth these days."

Yu Jingxi really felt that his father was very happy today, and he answered his question so patiently, and asked, "What is waiting to give birth?" ”

Yu Shaoting held the steering wheel with one hand, opened the storage compartment with the other, took out a box of candy from it and threw it to Yu Jingxi: "To give birth, it is my wife who gives birth." ”

Today, the company has a high-level newlywed and brought him a box of candy, and before he came out, he took it easily.

Yu Jingxi was flattered when she held the exquisitely packaged candy box, and when she heard Yu Shaoting's explanation, she said, "What about Xiaobai, when will Xiaobai give birth?" ”

"About seven months later." Yu Shaoting glanced at his son, and his gaze softened a little: "When the time comes, you have to take good care of your sister." ”

"Why not my brother?" Yu Jingxi peeled a candy, "I like my younger brother more, let Mr. Xiaobai's younger brother have another sister." ”

Yu Shaoting didn't mind Bai Xiao having a few more children, father and son, it was rare that there was no dispute because of disagreement.

――――――――――

Yu Shaoting and Yu Jingxi entered the house, and when she saw Bai Xiao sitting on the sofa in the living room, she was quite surprised when she also saw their father and son.

"These days, Xiao Liang is on leave." Yu Shaoting explained and put Yu Jingxi's heavy schoolbag aside.

Yu Jingxi glared, shouted 'little grandfather' and threw himself into Xu Jingyan's arms, when Xu Jingyan sent Bai Xiao and them wedding gifts, by the way, he also sent Yu Jingxi a toy of Iron Man, which was still original abroad, the little guy was holding Xu Jingyan sweetly: "Little grandfather, why did you come to my house?" ”

"Can't I come?" Xu Jingyan touched the child's head, his eyes were more loving than before, because there was another kind of emotion.

When Bai Xiao offered to let him stay for dinner, he agreed without thinking about it, even if he was considered cheeky, he was not willing to leave like that.

He wanted to see her for a while, and he also wanted to see Jing Xi.

Bai Xiao stood up and didn't disturb the two men to speak: "I'll go and help Aunt Li cook." ”

When passing by Yu Shaoting, the back of the two hands touched intentionally or unintentionally, he reached out, pinched her palm, and then let go.

……

Bai Xiao is pregnant now, Aunt Li didn't let her do it at all, and carefully guarded: "Teacher Bai, you go out first, and it will be fine later." ”

"Aunt Li, I'm fine." Bai Xiao couldn't cry or laugh.

In the end, Aunt Li's compromise was to let Bai Xiao sit on the small bench and fold beans, and as soon as she sat down, Yu Jingxi shook in.

The little guy stretched his neck to see what Aunt Li was cooking, the little fat hand touched this and that, and finally shook to Bai Xiao's side, squatted down, and took a piece of beans from the basket: "I will do this too." ”

Bai Xiao noticed that his palms were dirty, and patted the back of his hands: "Go wash your hands first, otherwise, don't touch these beans." ”

"That's a lot to ask for." Yu Jingxi muttered, but went to the dishwashing sink to wash his hands and came back.

――――――――――

Bai Xiao came out with the dishes, Yu Shaoting was chatting with Xu Jingyan, and she didn't understand the topic very well.

Finding her out, Yu Shaoting's gaze was cast over, very gentle, and in front of Xu Jingyan, there was no concealment at all.

Bai Xiao was a little embarrassed by him, and behind her, Yu Jingxi took a plate of corn and burned it, and she shouted softly to the living room: "Come over to eat first." ”

When eating, Yu Jingxi sat next to Bai Xiao, and served rice to Bai Xiao with a bowl, and Xu Jingyan was a little distracted by his intimate appearance.

Regarding Xu Zhening, it seems that it has also been forgotten, Xu Jingyan did not take the initiative to mention it, and Yu Shaoting will not start this.

Yu Jingxi put chicken in the bowl vigorously, Bai Xiao saw that he didn't eat vegetables, and gave him a chopstick of broccoli: "Don't just eat meat, you will be malnourished." ”

The little guy immediately looked at Yu Shaoting: "Dad, what is malnutrition?" ”

Yu Shaoting leaned back in the chair, he wore a khaki shirt today, his sleeves were rolled up, there were guests at home, it was rare, he was not accompanied by cigarettes and alcohol at the dinner table, looking at his son's stupid appearance, he poured a cup of herbal tea for Xu Jingyan: "You are a typical malnutrition." ”

"I don't think so, what do you say, little grandfather?" Yu Jingxi turned his head and asked Xu Jingyan again.

Xu Jingyan looked at his lovely grandson and nodded with a smile.

Yu Jingxi immediately straightened his small spine and sandwiched the broccoli into Bai Xiao's bowl: "You eat more vegetables, so that my brother won't be malnourished." ”

“……”

Bai Xiao saw what he said, and laughed angrily: "Tomorrow, let Aunt Li not buy meat and eat all vegetables." ”

Yu Jingxi held her bowl with both hands, for fear that Bai Xiao would grab her muscles, and looked at her with round eyes: "Look at you, you're going to abuse me again, aren't you?" ”

"Eat well, what are so many words." Yu Shaoting said in a deep voice.

Yu Jingxi shrunk his neck, not daring to talk back, thinking that he might not be able to eat meat tomorrow, and at this time, he was clamped even more quickly.

Looking at the 'family of three' who lived in harmony, Xu Jingyan had mixed feelings in his heart, ate dinner, sat down for a while and got up to leave.

……

Bai Xiao took Yu Jingxi upstairs to take a bath, and Yu Shaoting sent Xu Jingyan out.

When he walked to the car, Xu Jingyan suddenly turned back to Yu Shaoting and said, "I gave birth to you at a young age, and in the future, treat her well." ”

In late April, the weather is already starting to warm up, and even though it is night, there is no need to wrap up your coat when you go out.

Yu Shaoting wore a shirt alone, his hands were in his bag, and he was wearing a mechanical watch on his left wrist, he looked back at Xu Jingyan and nodded: "I will." ”

Waiting for Xu Jingyan to drive away, Yu Shaoting stood at the door for a while before returning to the villa.

……

In the bathroom on the second floor, Bai Xiao just picked up the T-shirt for Yu Jingxi and took it out from her neck, and she found that her clothes were a little tight: "You have gained weight again recently." ”

Yu Jingxi took off his pants again, naked, and wiped his face with a pair of small fleshy hands.

Hearing Bai Xiao say this, he immediately retorted: "I've grown some muscles recently." ”

Bai Xiao saw that his navel was about to pop out, so he picked up a handful of warm water and threw it on him: "If you get fat, it's the same as meatballs." ”

Yu Jingxi climbed into the bathtub, retaliated and pounced on her, and when she saw the man at the door, she immediately slowed down and sat down in the bathtub peacefully.

Bai Xiao turned around and saw Yu Shaoting coming in: "Sent away?" ”

"Hmm." Yu Shaoting answered, looking at his son in the bathtub, Yu Jingxi was stared at by him, knowing that the scene of splashing water just now was watched by him.

Bai Xiao took a towel to bathe his son, but Yu Shaoting took the towel and threw it directly at Yu Jingxi's head: "Such an adult, you can't take a bath?" ”

Yu Jingxi glanced at Yu Shaoting with dark eyes, and obediently held the towel without squeaking.

Regardless of whether Bai Xiao agreed or not, Yu Shaoting directly pulled her away, Yu Jingxi soaked the towel, rubbed it on her small chest, and waited for the bathroom door to be closed by Yu Shaoting, climbed out of the bathtub, wet body, bare feet, ran to the door of the master bedroom, lay on the door, and listened to the movement outside.

Suddenly, the door opened, Yu Shaoting stood there, and Yu Jingxi was in a hurry: "Dad, the shampoo is gone." ”

"Ask Aunt Li to ask for it." With that, he closed the door
