Chapter 22: Mom, Am I Like You?
Seeing Cloud Shadow's car parked in the garage, they knew she had come back too. Hearing the movement of the kitchen, when I got closer to look, except for Tong Le quietly, the child's father and mother couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Cloud Shadow is cooking.
Tong Jin spoke first: "Come back so early today?" ”
Yun Ying turned his head sideways when he heard the sound, there was no expression on his face, and he said nonchalantly: "Ah Heng has a fever." ”
Le Chun suddenly became nervous: "What now?" ”
"The fever is gone."
After Tong Jin and Le Chun took their granddaughter upstairs, Tong Le still stood silently in place, making a stone to look at his wife.
Cloud Shadow stood in front of the cooking table, concentrating on the ingredients, her long hair tied back behind her head, revealing a slender neck that was slightly curved. She was wearing a white skirt with a waist today, very white, wrapping her thin body, so white that it was exposed, cold and cold, quiet.
Tong Le walked over, unscrewed the water valve to wash his hands, and said in a low voice: "Hao'er's hand hurts, you go wake her up, bathe her, see where there is still a wound, give her some medicine......
Yunying was cutting potatoes without raising her head and said, "Mom will help her." ”
Tong Le didn't say anything, and after drying his hands, he took the kitchen knife from her hand, moved the board in front of him, and took over the work in her hands.
Cloud Shadow didn't look at anything, paused for a moment before washing his hands and turning to leave.
Tong Zhihao woke up and was in his brother's room, coquettish with his brother. Tong Jiaheng has a good physique, and after the fever subsides, his spirit is still good and he still has the energy to play with his sister. When Yunying entered the room, he said that he would take Tong Zhihao to take a bath.
Everyone was stunned. Tong Jiaheng's face couldn't stop being happy, pushed his sister, and said: "Mom said to help you take a bath, hurry up, well, the dirty body smells, let my mother help you wash your white and be a little princess again......"
Le Chun also teased her granddaughter that she was like a little beggar. Tong Jin said where is there such a beautiful little beggar.
Tong Zhihao always caught the surprise, trotted forward with a smile, and raised his head next to Yunying and called his mother, his tone was glutinous, and his eyes brought out the joy from the heart.
Yunying looked at her daughter for a moment, and somehow, picked her up and left the room.
Looking at the figure of the mother and daughter disappearing around the corner, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled in unison. Rejoice in the home that is slowly recovering, rejoice in the cloud shadow that is slowly getting better, rejoice in the present that is no longer chasing the past, and rejoice in the past expectations that are about to be put down.
Tong Jin subconsciously took out the cigarette case, and was slapped by Le Chun's hand, only to realize that this was the child's room, and silently put it back.
"Grandparents." Tong Jiaheng called in a low voice.
The second elder looked at his grandson and saw that he had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Le Chun asked.
Tong Jiaheng told his grandparents that he was going to travel to J City with his mother.
Since the birth of the two children, Tong Le and his wife have not taken them to travel once, and the two old people have taken the time to take them to travel all over the world during festivals and holidays.
Therefore, hearing this, the second elder was somewhat surprised.
Tong Jin just wanted to say yes, but Le Chun said no, if he wanted to go, he would go to a family of four. She felt that Yunying still didn't give up, and maybe she would take the child to the unfamiliar mountain villa halfway down the road and find a way around.
Who can keep them safe?
No one.
Five years ago, the snowstorm in the west trapped Tong Le and Yunying for five days and five nights. The mudslide three years ago nearly killed them......
and those countless days and nights of worry, which were a kind of mental torture for Le Chun. Whether it is her or Tong Jin, the head of the family, no matter how well she is in good health, she can't withstand her old age after all, and she can't stand one more blow.
She just wants her family of six to be safe and live a neat life.
"Grandparents, it's not like this......"
The sound of water rattled and the bathroom was filled with fragrance.
Yunying first washed her daughter's hair, air-dried her hair, wrapped it in a towel, and then unscrewed the bath to bathe her.
"Why are there so many dings on your legs?"
"Bug-bitten ......"
"Bad on set?"
"It's okay......"
"Didn't you have a spray for you? Don't squirt? Yunying pressed the shower gel and wiped it off her daughter's body, creating bubbles.
Tong Zhihao's body was a little stiff, and he whispered: "Squirted, and bit ......"
"Let Daddy change your ......"
"Hmm."
After a while, Tong Zhihao whispered: "Mom......"
"Huh?"
Tongzhi's voice is like a mosquito: "I want to pee ......"
Yun Ying raised her eyes to see her cautious and cautious look, and paused for a full five seconds before speaking, "Go ahead." ”
Tong Zhihao nodded, turned around and went to the toilet.
Cloud Shadow walked to put water in the bathtub, then put her hair down and undressed as she returned to the shower.
After a while, I turned my head to look at Tong Zhihao, and saw her sitting on the toilet, staring at her with a pair of round eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Mom, am I like you?"
Not like, not at all. Tong Zhihao and Tong Jiaheng are fraternal twins, not like an older brother, not like a mother, not like a father, and less likely to be like a sister. She's like herself, like her grandmother.
Yun Ying stood in the bath with an indistinguishable expression, and his voice was like the water that was neither lukewarm nor hot: "Go to the bathtub and wash it." ”
Tong Zhiliang saw that her mother didn't want to answer her, she was disappointed, and she didn't dare to say more, so she bit her lower lip and walked into the bathtub.
After the mother and daughter took a shower, they returned to the bedroom. Tong Zhihao sat on the bed, and Yun Ying brought the medicine box and rubbed the medicine for her.
After a while, Tong Le and Tong Jiaheng also came in.
Tong Jiaheng poked his sister's face with his finger and said, "Why do you look at your mother like this?" ”
Tong Le brought a hair dryer and untied the towel on Yun Ying's head to help her blow her hair. Tong Zhihao suddenly raised his head and smiled at Tong Le in a happy voice: "Dad, Mom is so beautiful!" ”
Tong Le raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "You too." ”
At this moment, Yun Ying lowered his head and said, "No, I'll come by myself." ”
The cold tone made the atmosphere that had just warmed up suddenly cool down. The two children were a little unsure of what Bai Yunying was talking about for a while. But as soon as Tong Le heard it, he knew that Yun Ying was rejecting his touch, and he was even more disgusted with his self-righteous kindness.
He paused and put down the hair dryer.
Tong Jiaheng's eyes flashed, and then he picked up the hair dryer, and his voice was gentle: "I'll come." Mom, I'll help you ......."
Cloud Shadow looked up at his son.
The hair dryer was turned on, and the whirring hot wind continued to blow on the head of Cloud Shadow.
After dinner, while it was still early, Tong Jin and Le Chun let their family of four go out for a walk. Tong Zhihao was the first to agree.
So the family of four went out.
The night view of City A can be described as beautiful, with neon lights and car lights intersecting on the street.
Tong Jiaheng and Tong Zhihao sat in the back seat, playing games with a game console. The younger sister loses and complains that her brother won't let her. My brother coughed a few times and said that he would not let it, either he would open another game, or he would be willing to gamble and lose.
It is common for cough symptoms to occur after fever, Yun Ying took out the cough syrup in his bag and handed it to Tong Jiaheng for him to take a sip.
Tong Jiaheng didn't want to drink. Tong Zhihao looked at the thing as if it was delicious, it should be very sweet, she reached out and took it, saying that she wanted to drink it.
Tong Jiaheng looked embarrassed and asked his mother, can my sister drink it?
Cloud Shadow deliberately replied vaguely, I don't know.
Tong Jiaheng was a little worried, took it back from his sister's hand, and said, "Are you a fool?" What to do with pills? If you want to eat candy, I'll buy it for you later. ”
"I'm not a fool, you let me taste ......"
"No way!"
"Brother......
The brother and sister were making a fuss in the back, but there was a dead silence in front, let alone talking, and they didn't even look at each other. One stares ahead, concentrating on driving, and the other keeps his eyes out the window, in a trance.
At the request of the child, the car went directly to the shopping mall in the most prosperous area of City A. After parking the car, it is estimated that he has not come out to play for a long time, or his parents are around, Tong Zhihao is too excited, as soon as he parked the car, he grabbed his brother's hand and quickly fled from the sight of his parents.
Yun Ying got out of the car at the latest, and before he had time to stop it, he was pulled up by Tong Le and ran to chase the children. Fortunately, Tong Zhihao didn't run far before she was stopped by a group of fans who recognized her, and she was taking a group photo.
After the fans left, Tong Le reprimanded his daughter with a serious face, but Tong Zhihao didn't mean to admit his mistake at all, but went to his father's side and hugged his arm and smiled.
After that, Tong Le kept leading her daughter away, not allowing her to run away half a step, passing by the jewelry store, and buying a peaked cap for her to wear, probably not wanting too many people to recognize her.
The third floor of the mall is the video game city, the decoration is particularly fashionable, and the space is also very spacious, most of them are middle school students, young people, and couples playing.
Like the Tong family, parents bring their children to play smaller. However, the two children quickly integrated into it, and they were very happy, sometimes playing with them, sometimes watching them.
Compared to Tong Le's nervousness, Yun Ying seemed a little indifferent, and after finding a place to sit down, he went about his business.
Take out the Polaroid and take a picture of a bright corner of the arcade, and record it on the back as usual.
7.12, evening.
Baby, today my brother has a fever and my sister is injured, what about you? You okay? You're going to be good. I may miss you too much, and I go out to play with my younger brothers and sisters, and my mother can't be very happy, but fortunately, I have my father to accompany them.
Baby, today, have you missed your mother?
Mommy loves you.
Stopping the pen and closing the cap, Yunying lowered his head for a moment to adjust his mood and put the photo back on the mezzanine of the bag.
