Chapter 34: Grandfather
With his son on the side for comparison, Tong Changqing's mentality was instantly balanced.
Look, compared with his son, he is calm enough to not lose his temper.
Facing the young man's extremely red and embarrassed face, Tong Jiayan gently curled the corners of his mouth and shouted with tears: "Brother." ”
Then, he walked over, stretched out his hands, and hugged the shy boy who was a head taller than her.
The younger sister's embrace was so gentle, so attached, with a mellow and good smell, that the young man's embarrassed heart gradually returned to calm and stabilized.
He couldn't help but reach out and hug his closest relatives who were the same mother as him, but grew up separately in the early years.
As a result, he hugged and found that his sister's body hidden under the skirt was so thin and thin.
A sense of guilt and justice called blood responsibility instantly burst out from his small body.
He couldn't help but sniff and opened his mouth silently, and a voice in his heart kept saying: It was he who didn't take good care of his sister, and he lived up to his biological mother's explanation.
Tong Jiayan buried her head in her brother's neck and shoulder, and crossed his shoulder to see the young sister in her previous life, who followed her tirelessly and called her sister sweetly no matter how she neglected and ignored her.
She is only five years old now, and she only has two small buds tied on her head, and two bows tied with a pink hairband, which is very cute to look at.
Children's eyes are always curious, especially her phoenix eyes are extremely similar to Tong Changqing, staring at her for a moment to see that she was discovered, and immediately lit up, as if there was a beam of light in it that was quickly lit up, and quickly dispersed into a sea of stars.
Tong Jiayan winked at her.
The little girl was obviously stunned by her blinking behavior, and when she reacted, she bent her mouth and smiled, ran behind Xiao Ji and hid, and pulled her skirt to poke her head out, but she still couldn't help but observe her.
The reunion at the door didn't last long before it was interrupted by Tong Changqing, who felt that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Let's talk when we come inside."
He couldn't stand the deep puddle of water marks on his chest.
Seeing the eldest daughter who he hadn't seen for a long time, although Tong Changqing wanted to put on a loving father's appearance in his heart, but because he was deeply hit by his wife's motherly affection just now, he felt that he couldn't be kind to Xiao Ji at this time, so he was still unkind.
And they all went into the house.
In the inner room, the maids changed their bed tents and retreated.
Luwu came in from outside with a cup of tea, and Qingju followed behind her, carrying two small plates of brightly colored dim sum that she couldn't tell what it was called.
Children are always the first to be attracted by delicious and beautiful things.
Tong Jianing, who was still a little recognized, couldn't help but step forward curiously after seeing the fresh and beautiful dim sum that she had never seen before on the good-looking plate, pointed to the yellow dim sum with her finger and turned her head and asked her, "Sister, what kind of dim sum is this?" I've never seen one. ”
Not only had she not seen it, but several other people had never seen it either.
"This is called bean curd cake, which is made of soybean flour and corn flour and kneaded into the shape of flowers. The taste is slightly sweet, you can taste it. Tong Jiayan said with a smile.
Tong Jianian glanced at his parents, and when he saw that they didn't object, he reached out and picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, took a small bite, and then his eyes lit up.
"Sister, melt, melt, it melted in my mouth!" The voice was surprised to pull Tong Jiayan's hand.
Tong Changqing changed his clothes and came out, and he heard his youngest daughter say such an innocent fairy tale.
He couldn't help but look over, and saw the eldest daughter holding the handkerchief in her hand, bending over, and going to wipe the younger girl's mouth.
The wife sat on the side drinking tea and looked at them contentedly.
The eldest son secretly reached out to take the snack, and when he saw it, his hand shook, and his face instantly became entangled, revealing a constipated expression, and then stretched out his hand and handed him the piece of snack he had just stolen.
Tong Changqing: "......"
He walked over without changing his face and sat next to Xiao Ji.
"Has the master changed his clothes?" Xiao Ji glanced at him with a smile, and pushed the dim sum on the table to his side, "Master try it, it's a dim sum made by Jia Yan himself, and I specially honor you to eat." ”
Tong Changqing saw that the eldest daughter looked up at him.
The eldest daughter has done everything, so let's give some face.
Tong Changqing thought in his heart, reached out and took a piece, and after putting it in his mouth expressionlessly, his perennial stone-like expression finally loosened a little.
It's delicious.
He thought as he swallowed.
A cup of tea was brought to him in front of him at the right time.
Tong Changqing glanced at Xiao Ji, took the tea, and took a sip.
The expression that had just loosened a little continued to loosen a little.
It's delicious.
Xiao Ji knew that this was already a very pleasant expression.
"Jiayan......" she smiled and winked at Tong Jiayan, "Your father likes your dim sum very much." ”
Tong Changqing: "......"
Tong Jiayan also smiled and winked back to Xiao Ji's: "Yes, my daughter knows." ”
My father has always been like this, there is much more inner drama than superficial drama, she used to think he was indifferent, but now she only finds it interesting.
Just when the few of them were chatting and talking, a maid came in and reported, "Aunt Luo has brought Miss Eight to greet the old lady." ”
The harmony and warmth in the room was broken, and Xiao Ji went to see Tong Changqing at a loss for the first time.
Tong Changqing nodded, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Let people come in." ”
After a while, Aunt Luo walked in with Tong Jiaxin.
Today's Aunt Luo wore a moon-white plain and elegant long skirt, and her head was full of green silk and only a round bun, and only a white hosta was inserted on it, which was elegant and beautiful, which was different from the past gaudy.
She walked all the way, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, revealing a fair and good-looking back of her neck, and her lotus steps moved lightly, and she had a weak and graceful style. When he walked in front of Tong Changqing and the others, the affectionate eyes just threw at him slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to avoid it, knelt down and kowtowed.
The soft and weak voice can easily arouse a protective desire in people's hearts.
Tong Jiayan found that her father was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw the affectionate eyes cast by Aunt Luo.
She smiled softly inwardly.
"Get up, I remember that you have always been weak, and the ground is too cold, so don't kneel."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the room changed.
Xiao Ji nervously squeezed the handkerchief in his hand.
Mama Zhou frowned.
Tong Yihang was fine, but after seeing Xiao Ji's expression change, he frowned slightly.
Tong Jianian didn't know anything, but she could feel the change in the mood of others and grabbed Tong Jiayan's hand beside her with some fear.
Tong Jiayan smiled slightly and squeezed her hand soothingly.
