Liu Dong named his son Liu Xiaoxiao, which means that his son's life will be full of laughter from now on.

Xiaoxiao's birth brought new joy and hope to Wang Guixiang's lonely life. She heard the babbling of the child, even the crying, which sounded to her full of sweetness and happiness. She seemed to be much younger all of a sudden, and she held Xiaoxiao in her arms when she had nothing to do, sniffing the child's milk, as if she had returned to her youth - Liu Shu, Liu Cao, and Liu Dong's childhood flashed in her mind, and the children's cries and laughter came one after another. At this time, she couldn't avoid thinking of that child again, she gave birth to him, but she didn't raise him for a day, is that child okay now? What's he doing? Do you have children of your own? Thinking of this, her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Liu Sanhuan found out that she was crying, so she hurriedly took Xiaoxiao from her mother's arms and asked carefully: Mom, what's wrong with you? Isn't it uncomfortable again?

She covered up and said: Cough, it's nothing, it's just that her eyes are not angry, and she always sheds tears.

With that, she went back to her room, covered her mouth with a towel, and cried again.

When she was young, the hectic and hard work of life made her have no time and no mood to think of that child, and only when the family was reunited on the New Year's Day, she would think of him coldly. At that time, she thought: Is that child also eating Chinese New Year's Eve? But it's only a matter of moments, the past is gone, and then it's endlessly busy. Now that she is old, time seems to stand still, and at this time she has this mood, and the child breaks into her mind over and over again. Her impression of the child was still the same as when he was born—clenched into small fists, clenched with his eyes closed, crying weakly. When she thought of the child's appearance, her heart was so sour that she wanted to cry.

Smile will call mom, soft, milky, very good. As soon as she heard the smile calling her mother, her heart trembled, as if the child's call was also coming from a distant place. Her thoughts drifted out of her body at once, and she wandered ethereally into the distance, and her heart suddenly became empty, and there was nothing to fall on.

Every day, Liu Dong has to sit in her room when he comes back from work, her son doesn't say anything, as long as she sits beside her, she feels steady, and a kind of happiness slowly rises from her heart. Liu Dong sat next to his mother and sometimes talked about the latest things about his brother and sister.

Liu Dong said: Mom, my brother said that he should be reformed. My sister's clinic is also good, and their children will be in elementary school in the fall.

The children are all very good, all of them are running towards life with taste, it is said that she doesn't need to worry about anything, but sometimes, her heart still feels a little empty, helpless, she thinks that Liu Dong will one day bring her news that she doesn't want to say, but has always cared about.

So, she repeatedly told Liu Dong about the old house at home: Dong, I don't know what happened to our old house?

At first, Liu Dong didn't understand his mother's thoughts, and every time he said casually: We don't need that house.

The mother sighed, and the more he spoke, he understood his mother's thoughts. The mother is clearly talking about the house, but in fact, she is thinking about the news of the child, and it seems that as long as the old house exists for a day, the mother will have more hope and hope.

On this day, Liu Dong finally couldn't help but ask his mother: Mom, didn't you remember the name of the family that raised my brother?

The mother didn't speak, but looked out the window and watched intently.

Liu Dong asked unwillingly: As long as you remember their names, you will definitely be able to find my brother.

Mother suddenly asked, "Dong, how do you say your brother is doing now?"

This time it was Liu Dong's turn to make a difficulty, he didn't know how to answer his mother's question, and was silent for a while and said: Mom, don't worry about it, he must be better than me.

He could only answer his mother in this way, but it was also his hope.

Mother asked again: People are doing well now, let's go to find people and let the family live? I promised them.

Liu Dong didn't say anything anymore, he felt that his mother was reasonable, but this kind of reason was broken by the longing family affection from time to time, and he couldn't help but want to find out from his mother.

This year, Liu Dong's birthday was celebrated by his mother Zhang Luo. Before this, Liu Dong never seemed to have a serious birthday in his memory. When he was a child, he didn't understand the meaning of birthday, only that his mother would secretly stuff a boiled egg in his schoolbag that day, and then whisper to him: Today is your birthday. For a long time, all he remembered about his birthday was a boiled egg.

After joining the army and joining the army, the company's rule is that every time a soldier is born, the cooking class will make a bowl of noodles with a poached egg on it. When he was in the police company, he and Tamura had the same birthday, and the cooking class would cook two bowls of birthday noodles. Every time he celebrated his birthday, he sat at a table with Tamura and finished the noodles lively.

On this birthday, her mother asked Liu Sanhuan to cook a few more dishes, and she cooked two bowls of noodles herself. One bowl was placed there, and the other bowl was served to Liu Dong. When Liu Dong saw the bowl of noodles on the table, he felt a little more content in his heart. His mother sat beside him and watched him finish the noodles in one go, and she sighed and muttered, "Child, today is your birthday, and you are thirty years old." As the saying goes, if you stand at thirty, you are already a big man.

The mother couldn't say any more when she said this, and wiped away her tears again.

After Liu Sanhuan and Liu Dong got married, she knew about Liu Dong's twin brothers, and she also wanted to ask about it, but her mother-in-law didn't say it, and she didn't want to ask too much. Seeing her mother-in-law like this today, she understood her mother's thoughts, so she said: Mom, why don't you tell me the situation in detail, so that Liu Dong can inquire about her younger brother's situation. Let's not go to find someone, we will be relieved when we know, and we will save worry.

Liu Dong also said: That's it, let's just say no? People live with others, we pass with us, and we don't disturb others.

The mother didn't speak, but Liu Dong saw it, and the mother was a little tempted. When his mother returned to her room, he followed. His mother was sitting with her back to him, and he was standing behind her, and her mother suddenly turned her head and asked, "Can you promise not to disturb people?"

Liu Dong looked at his mother seriously: Mom, I promise.

After a moment of silence, my mother said: Your brother's adoptive parents are also in the army, one is the head of the regiment, and the other is the head nurse of the hospital. Later, I inquired and heard that they were all transferred.

Next, the mother slowly said the names of Tian Liaoshen and Yang Peipei.

At this time, Liu Dong exclaimed: How could it be him?

The mother turned around suddenly, grabbed Liu Dong, and said in a trembling voice: Do you know them?

Liu Sanhuan, who was standing at the door, also blurted out: Tamura, it turned out to be Tamura!
