I looked at Su Hao's side face, although there was nothing to look at there, in fact I could only see the edge of most of his hood, and from my angle, I could barely see the small nose wing of his newly emerging head.

He was breathing quietly, cautiously.

"I never thought that you would be the son of an old man, so you can no longer go back to the Su family now, and you don't have to go back to face Xiao Han, I can help you find a place to settle first, my former house is idle, you can live for a while, until you ------" I don't know how to describe it, "Then I can send you abroad, and you can start your new life there." ”

Su Hao still didn't react.

"Su Hao" I tried to touch his hand, but he didn't break free, I see this as a good start.

"Life is not easy, it is anyone's. Listen to me, my own own son also died in this grudge, I know you are bitter, but he has not had a chance to tell me that he is bitter in his heart. He died of AIDS, and in those years he was afraid that I would see him like that, so he hid and left himself to fend for himself. Until he died, I didn't have a chance to see his bones. ”

His pale, slender fingers moved carefully and cautiously, and I immediately held him tightly.

"If Huaiping is here. My son, his name is Huaiping. If he's there, he's about your age, about your age. He didn't have a chance, he didn't even give me a chance. But you, there's still a chance. Su Hao. ”

My tears still fell, I thought of Huaiping, remembered Huaiping and even told Zhang Ruolei not to keep his tomb. He said, "Save my mother from seeing the sadness."

My heart hurt like a knife, I let go of Su Hao's hand, and then turned my face out of the window, it turned out that this way I could cover my expression, my sadness without exposing others, and I didn't have to tell others how vulnerable I was, and what kind of catastrophe that incident had caused to me.

I tried to adjust my breathing, but somehow, the sadness suddenly came into a film, and I was caught off guard. There was no way to run from it, and when I realized it, the collapse was disintegrating little by little the strength I had worked so hard to build.

Yes, I thought of Huaiping, thought of his small body shrunk under the table, thought of my desperate desire to give him a stable and happy future, and wanted to buy him a big house, even if there were only two of us mother and son in his life, I didn't care.

Huaiping!

Ever since I knew he was gone forever, I hadn't allowed myself to burst into tears like I did today. But I know that this sadness has been brewed by myself for a long time. I've been looking for an opportunity, and maybe I think it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Someone tried to put his hand close to mine, and I turned my head and saw the child's eyes, and he was trying his best to hold back his sadness, and he probably thought of the same thing as I thought. Or when he was a child, he held Xiao Ye's hand, they were in the playground, she bought him ice cream, even if they were poor all their lives, they were only well-off or they had to get by. At least, he didn't need to live as embarrassed as he did now.

Yes, embarrassment

。 How embarrassed we are!

Tears flowed silently from Su Hao's eyes, he looked at me, his lips spurted hard, "Thank you!" He said, "Thank you, maybe no one has been to see her or accompany her for so many years." ”

I suddenly lost my voice, and so did he. The two of them hugged their heads and cried in the back, and it wasn't long before I heard the sound of someone snorting hard in front of me. I know, it turns out that Kang Sheng also cried.

It's better to cry than to keep all the sadness and sadness in your heart. It wasn't like a huge stone monument, it was more like a castle that saw the light of day, and we were trapped in it, as if we would never be able to come out, never see the light of day.

"Su Hao. I didn't think you were her son. If I had let my aunt know earlier, I might have been able to save you earlier. ”

He opened his mouth wide and opened and closed silently, letting out a mournful cry like that of a wild beast, but without a complete sentence. Maybe he didn't know who he could accuse or what to accuse. He was speechless about his sadness, and he could only express his sadness.

After a long time, we all calmed down, and his hand was still firmly in the palm of my hand. There, as if there was already a warm temperature, I kept rubbing his hand.

"Let's go with Auntie, don't go back."

I don't want him to go back and face the unbearable past on his own," or you can live in Auntie's house and be Mason's brother and be his companion. ”

He looked at me, tears streaming silently from his eyes. He nodded at me.

I smiled at him with relief and helped him take off his hat with my hand, his hair was already very long.

"Auntie wants to take you to cut your hair." I say.

He didn't look at me, but I saw his Adam's apple vivid, and I knew he was holding back his tears again.

Kang Sheng didn't have to explain, he stopped by a hairdresser. I held Su Hao's hand, he didn't hesitate at all, I felt that this situation was a little bit close to the ending I expected in my heart. I'm looking for victory, I told Xiao Ye.

I kept saying to Xiao Ye in my heart: I always felt that I should do something for you, I did it, I did it, Xiao Ye, I did it, can you hear it?

The barber wrapped the cloth around his neck, and the sun hit the entire side of his face, and he smiled at me in the sunlight.

I seemed to see that the person sitting there suddenly became Huaiping. "Mom". He said, smiling at me, I was stunned, and when I came back to my senses, half of Su Hao's long hair had already fallen to the ground, and the music in the hair salon was undulating, and the bright rhythm was inspiring. And it's an exciting day, isn't it?

I smiled heartily and secretly sent a WeChat message to Ah Dong, telling him that everything is going well here, just like a stream finally joins the sea, and sunflowers finally grow into the sun.

I told him to make dinner more hearty in the kitchen, and if he didn't object, I would take Su Hao over to live with us.

How nice! I said, our house is getting more and more lively. My parents loved to be lively when they were alive, and they said that life was just passing by. person

It is the foundation of everything, and if there are many people, the popularity is naturally healthy, and life is not much worse.

And they were right.

Ah Dong only replied to me with one word: Okay.

It's all good.

My heart moved, if Gao Tiancheng was also there at this time, and Wan Qian was also there, how good would it be, I warned myself not to be too greedy, fate has already treated me well.

After Su Hao finished cutting his hair, I took him home, I let him take a bath, and found Adong's clothes, he was able to wear them, only a little shaky. Ah Dong came back with Mason, Mason inexplicably liked this gloomy little brother named Su Hao, he held his hand, and he was so excited that he seemed to be unable to stop for a moment.

He was excited to have a seemingly powerful brother, and at night, when he had to sleep with his brother, Ah Dong had to clean up a guest room for them and let them sleep in the big bed.

Su Hao's appetite is also good when eating, the most important thing is that Mason has a sweet mouth, and he will frequently give Su Hao vegetables.

"Brother eats. Brother, my brother is stronger than Dalong's, he always shows off with me, and now I have an older brother too. He said that he was bullied outside, and his brother would protect him, and now, I have my brother to protect him. ”

I saw Su Hao's eyes wet with tears for a while, he was trying to restrain himself, he was holding Mason and gnawing his mouth, he really liked him so much that he couldn't wait to gnaw him into his stomach.

Ah Dong and Kang Sheng and I watched all this, our hands were joined together, and we held together, as if endless courage and strength were born in the flat ground.

Before going to bed that day, Ah Dong was a little uneasy. He found me and whispered to me, are you afraid? In case he is still poisoned by Xiao Han, I am afraid that he will ...... Mason

Hearing this, I felt a "gurgle" in my heart.

I'm a little ambivalent.

I'm really scared, too.

I was in a dilemma, I didn't know what to do. How? Finally, I let Su Hao smile again, and besides, what good did he do to him if he hurt Mason?

No, no, no.

I saw that Su Hao had already stepped out of the room.

"My brother is asleep." He was a little shy when he faced us alone. I blocked Ah Dong, I was afraid that he could smell the temporary remnants of hostility and dissociation in Ah Dong's body.

"Then why don't you sleep?"

He smiled, but still glanced cautiously behind me.

"Come," I said, taking his hand, "come and call Daddy Adong." Your brother called it that, and you will call it that way ever after. ”

Ah Dong was obviously a little caught off guard, but he quickly stabilized his eyes. Of course Su Hao didn't call it that, because he was so big that he really couldn't scream, and he blushed.

How simple his gaze was, I think, as clear and touching as an elk in the woods.

"How is he the same as Mason?" Adong said. Then he also came over, but he didn't hold Su Hao's hand like me, but grabbed his shoulder like a man, "We are also more like brothers, do you see?" He's a great boy now, he's not a kid, he's taller than me, you let him call me Adong Dad, a child of this age, he can't call me

mouth. I'm from a boy, I know. He used a little force on his arm, and then asked Su Hao, "Right?" ”

Su Hao smiled.

"Auntie," he Su Hao said, "carry my brother to his own room, I'm afraid, he's by my side." ”

"Scared?" I was amazed. What is he afraid of?

"I've never slept with such a young child, he's so small, I'm afraid I'll press him when I'm asleep, I'm afraid that snoring will wake him up, and I'm afraid that he's not used to having strangers around, and he will cry when he wakes up in the middle of the night and sees me."

I finally understood his concerns, and I glanced at Ah Dong, and clearly saw that the wariness in Ah Dong's eyes had completely disappeared.

"I'm not afraid." Ah Dong gave him a light punch in the chest. "You're going to grow up sooner or later, you're going to have a girlfriend, you're going to have your own kids, and you're going to have to study in advance. Don't you see how much he likes you? Having an older brother has always been his dream, you don't know, for a while he has been clamoring for Meizi to give him a brother. Now he has finally made his wish come true. ”

Su Hao smiled shamefully, but he was stubborn.

"No, I can't. I could go back to him before he woke up and pretend to sleep with him all night, but I couldn't risk it, I only had such a brother like Ning Xin'er, and he loved me that much. ”

What Su Hao said was true, Mason loved him, and children's likes and dislikes couldn't be adulterated.

Su Hao knew this very well, his love made him take off all his defenses, and his love made his eyes shine. He cherished it all.

I couldn't help but walk up and hug him firmly.

"Do as you say, son, this is your home from now on, and you can do whatever you are comfortable with. But don't carry him back to the cot, because you can't curl up with him tomorrow morning, the cot won't hold you. Anyway, there is still a room at home, otherwise you can sleep with Uncle Adong. ”

"Okay." He said, and then his eyes glanced back at Adong, I guess he had never slept in the same bed with a real man, he had never been a buddy in the true sense of the word.

Adong understood and extended a warm invitation to Su Hao. Then I saw a big man of different ages and a small one hooked up into Adong's room, and I thought Adong would teach him how to be a responsible man, just like he taught Mason. That night, I had no dreams.

Mason didn't even want to go to kindergarten anymore, they were lying in bed, and from time to time Mason burst into laughter like silver bells. Until Knife Face urged them to have breakfast, and when we were done and we were going to work, I left him alone at home, and after a while we would help him lay it out.

Ah Dong took Mason's men to get the car first, and Su Hao stopped me at the door.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

His face flushed, and his two thin hands rubbed together each other.

"We're a family, just say something."

He remained silent until Adong called me to urge me to go down. He looked at me as if he had made up his mind and mustered up a lot of courage.

"Auntie, will you ----- ask me to testify against me---

--- Xiao Han? ”

Oh my God, that's what happened.

I was relieved and patted him on the shoulder, "So that's it, it scared me to death, no." You've finally come out of the whirlpool of grievances, and we're not going to let you get involved again. Besides, that was Mrs. Su's request, and we didn't have this request. You are Xiao Ye's son, Xiao Ye is gone, I have the responsibility to take care of you. You may not know it yet. Su Bai, she is my college classmate. You can count your fingers yourself, how close our relationship is, and Mrs. Su gave me all the shares of the Su family, so I am even more responsible for taking care of you. I took the money. "I was joking with him.

But his face didn't change any better because of my face.

"How? Did Auntie say the wrong thing? "I was a little scared.

"Oh no," he said, a little flustered, and then shoved me, "Let's go, or my brother will be late." ”

"What a good brother."
